Chapter 150: A Billion Star Coins Reward

Leng Shi closed his eyes and carefully processed the memories of those two brothers. With a wave of his hand, their bodies turned to ashes, leaving behind only two Abnormality Crystal Cards that floated quietly in front of him.
Soon after, Leng Shi opened his eyes and said, “Beil, you’re no longer needed regarding Chen Xiao. What you need to do now is infiltrate a major force in the human Abnormality World and monitor their activities.”
By absorbing the soul memories of those two brothers who possessed Abnormalities, Leng Shi now had a general understanding of the Abnormality World on land.
“Lord Leng Shi, don’t we need to investigate who raided the Royal Palace and stole the Blessing of the Sea God?” Hai Beil asked after a brief hesitation.
“No, Hai Beil. There are many things you still can’t know right now,” Leng Shi shook his head. “The great Sea King has already planned everything. That shameless thief who stole the Sea God Temple won’t be able to escape.”
Seeing that Hai Beil still wanted to speak, Leng Shi waved his hand and said, “Beil, remember—do only as much as you’re capable of. Right now, your top priority is to infiltrate a major force in the human Abnormality World and gather information about human Abnormality users and their movements.”
Hearing Leng Shi’s words, Hai Beil could only nod.
“The Hunters’ Guild? That organization is quite interesting. If I placed a high-sum bounty there to capture Chen Xiao, could it yield unexpected results?”
Leng Shi’s gaze was fixed on the Glorious Temple not far away, unaware that its prototype was exactly the Sea God Temple they had lost.
……
“Three handsome guys, just give in to me. Otherwise, when the young master arrives, he’ll make your lives worse than death.”
In the underground secret chamber of the Glorious Temple, Fu Yun wore a lecherous smile as he looked at the three panicked foreign Abnormality users.
All three of them had blond hair, blue eyes, high noses, and thin builds—typical handsome Europeans. No wonder Fu Yun behaved like that toward them.
“You shameless homosexual! If you want to kill us, just do it! I, a member of the great Antilans family, will never submit to your vile tyranny!”
The three Abnormality users were quite defiant, refusing to yield even as they held their heads high.
“The Antilans family…” Chen Xiao walked slowly into the secret chamber with Shadow Wings, frowning slightly.
“Young master, the Antilans family is on par with the Three Nights Family in the Abnormality World of Huaxia Country—among the most elite family forces.”
Shadow Wings had been in the Abnormality World for a thousand years and knew quite a bit about it. But since the five of them were sent by Huaxia Country’s Abnormality World to probe the Glorious Temple, it meant their value lay only in this task; they didn’t really know anything about the true strength of the major families in the Abnormality World.
Chen Xiao hadn’t obtained any useful information from them before either. The five of them were self-awakened Abnormality users who trained on their own before being recruited by families, but they never received real recognition.

“Shadow Wing, how many powerful beings in this world have surpassed the Source Realm?” Chen Xiao suddenly asked.
“Young master,” Shadow Wing, with his brows slightly furrowed beneath his illusion, replied, “A thousand years ago, after I broke through to the ninth level and reached the Source Realm, I was warned by a mysterious force to avoid appearing in the secular world. My activities were confined to the World of Superpowers.”
“Warned by a mysterious force? Banned from the secular world?” Chen Xiao’s expression changed slightly. “So you just obeyed them and never returned to the secular world since then?”
Shadow Wing nodded and said, “They tore a hole in space and threw me here. I did return to the secular world once before, but I was thrown back immediately. And they said…”
“What did they say?” Chen Xiao showed a hint of interest.
“Three times is the limit. I could return to the secular world the first and second time, but if it was the third time, they would erase me outright.” There was a hint of dread in Shadow Wing’s voice.
“Tearing a hole in space to throw you from the secular world to the World of Superpowers proves that they are at least strong enough to comprehend the laws of space, at the fourth level of the Domain Realm.”
Chen Xiao’s expression darkened slightly. His trump card was Floating Cloud, a strong being at the fourth level of the Domain Realm who had already grasped the laws of space. If such a person truly existed on Earth or in the World of Superpowers, Chen Xiao would need to rethink his plans.
“Floating Cloud, no more nonsense. Use your domain to extract their soul memories directly.”
Chen Xiao suddenly spoke to Floating Cloud.
“Ugh…” Floating Cloud sighed softly, looking reluctant. “I told you. If you had obeyed me earlier and told me everything you knew, we wouldn’t have to go through this. What a shame about those three handsome guys… Ugh, after reading their soul memories, you’ll become idiots. I’m not interested in idiot men, no matter how handsome they are.”
Muttering, Floating Cloud activated his domain.
After breaking through the Source Realm, those in the World of Superpowers first mastered the laws of the soul, studying their own souls to achieve clarity and comprehend more laws.
The soul is the foundation of a being. Only by achieving clarity in the soul can one comprehend other laws.
As a strong being at the fourth level of the Domain Realm, Floating Cloud was already extremely familiar with the laws of the soul.
In just an instant, those three foreign superpowers had no chance to resist as Floating Cloud extracted their soul memories and inscribed them on an energy crystal.
“Young master,” Floating Cloud said dejectedly, holding the energy crystal and approaching Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and said, “Floating Cloud, are you stupid? The memories of these three are vast. Expecting me, a sixth-level superpower, to read them? I’d probably go crazy right away.”
“Uh…”
Floating Cloud was stunned for a moment before scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
“Then, young master, what should we do?” Floating Cloud glanced at Chen Xiao cautiously.

“I don’t care anymore. This Glorious Temple is now under your control—don’t come to me for everything.” Chen Xiao rolled his eyes. He had decided this was a hands-off role for him. “Wealth, resources, power—I’ve already given them to you. It’s up to you to handle the temple’s affairs. All I want is a result,” Chen Xiao said with a cold smile. “Remember, I am your god. What a god wants is a result. I don’t care what shape you give the temple. If it works, I’ll reward you; if not, I’ll punish you.” Fu Yun and Ying Yi were momentarily stunned before showing an understanding expression. What Chen Xiao wanted were subordinates with independent capabilities, who could make their own decisions and have their own strength, rather than puppets controlled by strings. Moreover, Chen Xiao himself knew well that he wasn’t someone who could build an empire. Due to various constraints, all he had ever wanted was to earn plenty of money to improve his grandfather’s life—nothing more. As for expanding his power and influence, that wasn’t something he was good at at all. If left to take full control, nothing might happen at all. “Then, young master…” Fu Yun raised his head. “You decide everything yourselves. If you need anything, just tell me, and I’ll try my best to meet your needs.” Chen Xiao smiled. A ruler didn’t need to control every single subordinate; it was enough as long as he could control the ministers in various fields. … “Go to school? Go home? Or stay in the World of Superpowers?” Back in the mundane world, Chen Xiao looked at the light blue sky and felt a hint of confusion. Life in the World of Superpowers had completely disrupted his life path. Suddenly, Chen Xiao seemed to understand the mindset of those who lived in that world all year round. “Looking at ordinary people’s lives now, they seem so boring. What they spend their entire lives pursuing seems within reach for us with just a stretch of our hand.” “But living like this, with a goal to strive for, is also fulfilling, isn’t it?” “Then what is my goal?” Chen Xiao looked at a family that had just passed by, envy in his eyes. “This is what I’m pursuing. Dad, Mom, where are you? Even if I have to search the entire World of Superpowers, I’ll find you.” Chen Xiao clenched his fist tightly and bit his lip hard, making up his mind. “My strength may not yet reach the seventh level, but I can still defeat true seventh-level experts.” Although he had never fought against experts of that level, Chen Xiao was well aware of his own strength. “It’s time to go back.” Chen Xiao gazed at the eastern sky and slowly exhaled. “Hm?” At that moment, Chen Xiao’s heart stirred. He instinctively dodged as a faint shadow flashed past him. “Chen Xiao… According to the records from the Yanhun Domain Superpowers Association, you’re a third-level sorcerer. But it seems like that’s not the case at all now.”

A handsome young man appeared before Chen Xiao. Though he was good-looking, his face was filled with evilness; he was inherently an unruly person.
“Who are you?” Chen Xiao asked, curiosity flashing in her eyes.
“I?” The young man raised his head proudly and said, “A Free Hunter, Fei Zha. Of course, you can also call me the Rogue Lord—I like that title.”
“A Free Hunter? If you’re a Free Hunter, why have you come after me?” Chen Xiao laughed. “I’m also a Free Hunter.”
“I don’t care what your identity is. No one has said that Free Hunters can’t fight each other,” Fei Zha said, shrugging. “The headquarters of the Hunters’ Guild has offered a reward of one billion star coins for your capture. I was lucky enough to find you first.”
