'You are so confident that you could almost call yourself arrogant.'

"Or... it's just arrogance..."

This was the first thought in Tian Yuanli’s mind after hearing Xishen Lian’s words.

Be it an ordinary person or a genius, Xi Shenlian doesn't take them seriously.

In his eyes, they are all insignificant, just like the insignificant size difference between ants, and there is no need to care about them at all.

but.

Just when she wanted to say something else, Xi Shenlian beside her suddenly turned her head in another direction and looked somewhere outside the window.

And in the reflection of the car window.

Tian Yuanli, who had his back turned to, noticed Xi Shenlian's originally nonchalant expression, and suddenly revealed some surprise.

It was as if something extremely unexpected happened suddenly.

Ling Tianyuanli couldn't help but wonder:

"What's wrong?"

But Xi Shenlian just gave a very vague answer without even turning his head:

"There's a very strong guy in that direction..."

"?"

Then, before he could figure out what was going on, Tian Yuanli saw Xi Shenlian press a button on the seat.

The female driver in front, or the maid of the Tianyuan family, asked in the closed rear compartment:

"May I ask what you may do for me?"

As a custom-made car with complete soundproofing and peeping-proofing inside, and protection against ammunition and biological and chemical attacks outside... the car that Tian Yuanli and Xi Shenlian were riding in, the passengers in the back could only rely on the on-board communicator to contact the driver.

In addition, even if the people in the car were firing machine guns, the driver in front would not be able to hear anything at all.

This design ensures both the privacy of passengers and the sustainability of drivers.

After all, the driver doesn’t want to be silenced after hearing or seeing some secrets…

Face the inquiry.

Xi Shenlian directly instructed the driver:

“Stop on the side of the road.”

Right now.

He could feel it.

In the distance, there was an interesting guy approaching the area where he was.

And maybe I need to meet the other person.

Vaguely

Xi Shenlian had a premonition.

Then things might become more interesting!

At the very least, it should be more interesting than beating up Kongshan Qiuyang.

that's all.

Under Tian Yuanli's puzzled gaze, Xi Shenlian said goodbye to her, slowly got out of the car, and walked towards the target direction...

More than a thousand kilometers away, outside the endless coastline, a figure in an old grey robe stood above the waves with a look of surprise on his face.

Follow your own feelings.

He looked directly in the direction where Xi Shenlian was.

In a vague premonition.

The visitor felt something indescribable and wonderful.

That is the untraceable "fate"...

The torrent of fate is pushing him...

After thinking about it.

The figure stepped on the waves and walked towards the direction he sensed.

…

An hour later.

Tokyo City - Akizuki District.

This is a district in Tokyo that has little presence.

The permanent population is about two million.

After crossing hundreds of kilometers and entering the Qiushu area, Xi Shenlian did not move again.

Just standing quietly at the top of a skyscraper.

The building with more than 200 floors is very tall, which serves as a good stepping stone. It allows Xi Shenlian, who is standing on the top, to easily see various scenery over many obstacles.

His eyes scanned back and forth between the figures below, full of anticipation!

Because Xi Shenlian could clearly feel that the other party was approaching this place.

And this is indeed the case.

He didn't have to wait long.

After just a few dozen seconds.

Xi Shenlian's gaze crossed several kilometers and accurately fixed on the target far away on another street.

He was a guy wearing an old grey robe and looking a bit unkempt.

How should I put it…

The other party looked like a person who had just emerged from the deep mountains and forests after practicing hard.

This style is often seen on some martial artists who go to the mountains to practice martial arts.

However, Xi Shenlian didn't care about the other party's appearance at all.

But I started to care about something else.

Something that ordinary people can't feel.

That is the great power of the individual...

After catching the other person's sight.

Through the perception granted by [Perfect Nature], Xi Shenlian could easily sense what kind of power was contained in the other party's not-so-tall body.

That feeling...

It's completely overwhelming!

If the autumn sun in the empty mountain not long ago was just a small match, then the other party was probably an active volcano.

The power in the opponent's body is countless times stronger than Xishenlian's!

"Hmm~"

Sensing all that, Xi Shenlian couldn't help but sighed with a smile:

"This power is really strong~"

"Much stronger than I am now~"

However, having said that, he couldn't help but reveal an obvious smile at the corner of his mouth.

The face that had no expression when beating Kong Shan Qiu Yang now showed some kind of joy...

at the same time.

The figure in the distance seemed to have sensed something and also looked towards Xi Shenlian who was far away from him.

He could clearly see the figure that was looking at him from the top of a tall building in the distance.

The moment their eyes met.

After a slight pause.

Inexplicably, many thoughts and premonitions emerged in the visitor's mind.

Under that changing idea.

The enormous spiritual power immediately caused the originally clear sky around to suddenly burst into deafening thunder without any warning, as if a storm was coming!

Passersby looked up at the sky with a look of surprise on their faces.

After a few breaths.

The visitor knew something in the dark.

The overflowing spiritual power was gathered again.

The calm and solemn face became full of solemnity.

And...a look of joy.

"I see……"

"The [Trial] before the [Great Deed]..."

"When Sakyamuni was teaching sentient beings, he encountered Poxun, who wanted to build a place of indulgence. When Zeus was building a unified empire, he encountered Typhon, who controlled billions of monsters... Throughout history, the establishment of all [great deeds] is inevitably accompanied by [trials] that must be overcome."

"And that Excellency is the [Trial] that I need to face..."

In a deep voice.

He took a light step forward.

The figure then silently crossed a distance of several kilometers and came to Xi Shenlian's side.

The speed was so fast that Xi Shenlian, the person being approached, couldn't even capture the other person's movement trajectory.

That is a movement speed of at least thousands of times the speed of sound.

If the opponent had not used special skills, the moment the opponent moved, the entire [Qiu Shu District] would have suffered heavy casualties and turned into a super-large cemetery on the spot.

But Xi Shenlian obviously doesn't care about such boring little problems.

Under the gaze of his purple eyes.

The guy who suddenly came to his side took the initiative to introduce himself with an extremely calm look:

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency."

"I'm Sharrad Coles."

The other party spoke Japanese.

Maybe it's because I haven't said it for a long time, so the pronunciation sounds a bit strange.

Hearing this.

Xi Shenlian, who still had a smile on his face, also introduced himself:

"Nice to meet you, too."

"My name is Xi Shen Lian."
