Chapter 1: The Yang Family's Trash

  "It's good that you know, you are the most talented and promising person in Yang family history to break through the restrictions of our ancestors." Yang Wudi said, "So we all value you very much, if you need anything just ask me, I will try my best to satisfy you."

  Yang Lei heard that and was so embarrassed, thinking about it, he seemed not to be a member of the Yang family, without the Yang family's bloodline.

  "Alright, Grandpa, don't worry. If I need anything, I'll come find you. Look, this time I even let Xia Zhu find you to help out, didn't I?" Yang Lei said.

  Yang Wudi smiled and said: "It should be like this, we are all one family, what's there to be polite about?"

  Yang Wudi left, Yang Lei opened the system again.

  "Ding, congratulations to the player for completing the A-level sniper mission. Gold Medal Killer Sword: 13 kills, Sword 10 kills, Sword 1 kill, completion rate of 100%, but due to external assistance, the evaluation level is set to Good."

  "Mission Reward: Level up one grade, player's cultivation rises from Wu Huang Third Stage to Wu Huang Fourth Stage, points value increases by one million. Additionally, rewards a special plot task card and obtains a pair of Earth Rank Ninth Grade Tian Xin Bracers and an Earth Rank Ninth Grade Dark Shadow Sword."

  The reward is quite generous, with a level upgrade, 1 million points, and now Yang Wei has a total of 31.1 million points left. What's most exciting is the special storyline task card. Previously, Yang Wei had seen that storyline task cards are divided into ordinary and special ones. Special storyline task cards have generous rewards and allow players to choose the scene, but ordinary storyline task cards do not have this option. Special storyline task cards must be obtained through special tasks, rather than being exchanged for points, which makes Yang Wei quite excited.

  In addition, there is also the Tianxin wrist guard. This Tianxin wrist guard and the Tianxin armor I got before are obviously a set. If they are all gathered together, something miraculous may happen.

  Finally, there is this Shadow Sword. The Shadow Sword is also a deadly assassin's tool. Although it is only a ninth-grade earth-tier sword, it is not inferior to the Dark Magic Sword given to Cao Siya earlier. This is because the Shadow Sword has a powerful attribute: its body is hidden and invisible, unless special means are used to see it.

  This Shadow Sword is somewhat similar to the Chengying, one of the Ten Great Divine Swords of ancient China, but I don't know what kind of relationship exists between this Shadow Sword and that Chengying Treasure Sword.

  There's no need for me to use this sword, nor is there a need to give it to Cao Siya? She already has the Dark Demon Sword. Then how about giving it to Xia Zhu and Chun Lan? This Shadow Sword doesn't suit either of them.

  It seems that I'll have to find a good master for it in the future, Yang Lei thought as he put away the Dark Shadow Sword.

  And the most anticipated is this special plot task card. Open the card and take a look, there are three plots to choose from on this task card: one is the Three Kingdoms plot world; the second is the Shooting Peach Blossom plot world; and the third is the Covering Rain and Flipping Clouds plot world.

  Specific task requirements, after choosing the plot world, only then will the task be known. This point made Yang Lei quite helpless, he didn't have time to do these tasks now. So this special plot task card can only be put aside for the time being, and wait until after the Wind and Cloud Selection, before going to complete this task.

  Now that the Golden Killer is no longer a concern, Yang Bing has also been taken care of. The only people left who might seek revenge are Yang Tianlei, Wang Kui, and Qian Wuyong. However, Qian Wuyong doesn't need to be worried about, so the remaining individuals are Yang Tianlei and Wang Kui, specifically Wang Kui and his father Wang Zhenjun. As for Yang Tianlei, Yang Lei is also aware of who he is. Additionally, there's another person who might cause trouble - Yang Tianfeng's master, Kuang Hu (Crazy Tiger). Yang Lei has inquired about him before; Crazy Tiger is the leader of Hei Hu Shan (Black Tiger Mountain), and his current cultivation level is at the late stage of Wu Sheng. With his support, Black Tiger Mountain has a relatively large number of powerful individuals under its umbrella. Although its influence is not enough to rival that of the four major families, it's still much stronger than other ordinary forces.

  The black cloud tiger of the mad tiger is not just the eighth level that Yang Qing said before, but has already reached the ninth level.

  Yang Tianfeng's death will soon make that madman suspect himself, so this madman is a big trouble.

  There is also another person who is the same, that is Yang Tianlong who was killed by himself. Yang Tianlong's maternal grandfather is Gu Wang Gu Wan Yue. This Gu Wan Yue is also extremely doting on Yang Tianlong. His cultivation is also incredibly powerful. Although he hasn't reached the level of a Crazy Tiger in the late stage of Martial Sage, he has reached the middle stage of Martial Sage. Moreover, he is a symbol master, a master-level symbol master who can create 9th-grade earth-level symbol seals. Therefore, his true strength is actually above that of the Crazy Tiger.

  If he knew that he had killed Yang Tianlong, he would definitely not let it go, and the situation would be irreconcilable.

  However, there is no information yet, which may be that the news has been blocked or they have not suspected themselves yet. In any case, paper cannot wrap fire, so even if it is hidden well, there will be a day of exposure. Therefore, these two people must be vigilant themselves.

  But when the soldiers come, they will be blocked by water and covered with earth. There is no need to worry too much about it. What's meant to come will come anyway. So Yang Lei isn't too worried, he just needs to pay attention.

  …………

  Half a month later.

  The mysterious door in Qianyuan Country has officially started its stormy selection.

  This three-yearly grand selection of the Xuanji Gate is a major event in the country of Qianyuan, not only people from Qianyuan will participate, but also countless martial artists from other countries will join.

  The selection of Xuanji Gate has requirements. First, the age must be under 30 years old. Second, the cultivation must reach the Wu Shi boundary to have the qualification to participate.

  Those who stand out in the selection of Fengyun will be selected by Xuangji Gate and become outer disciples. Some excellent individuals can be directly selected by the elders as their personal disciples, thus becoming inner gate disciples. When an inner gate disciple reaches the realm of Martial Sage, they can become a true transmission disciple.

  Of course, not all disciples who cultivate to become martial saints will become true transmission disciples. Only those who reach the realm of martial sainthood before the age of 40 are qualified to become true transmission disciples. If they exceed 40 years old, unless they become a martial god, these things are not publicly announced. The waters of Chongwu Continent run much deeper than what appears on the surface.

  This wind and cloud selection is held in the central square of the imperial capital of Qianyuan Country. The square is 300 meters long and 300 meters wide, with a statue of Qianyuan, the first ruler of Qianyuan Country, in the center.

  It turns out that Qianyuan was also a disciple of the Xuanji Gate, and he was a genius in his generation. However, after establishing the Qianyuan Kingdom, his cultivation progress became stagnant, and he ultimately failed to break through the barrier of becoming a Martial God. His lifespan was exhausted, and he died. The Qianyuan Kingdom also became one of the main bases for the Xuanji Gate to select talents in the secular world.

  This time, the one who came to Qianyuan Country for selection was Tianyi Zhenren of Xuanji Gate.

  Tianyi is one of the ten great elders of the Mystic Door and his cultivation is profound and immeasurable.

  At this moment, the square of the imperial capital of Qianyuan Country was already packed with people, all of whom were here for the selection.

  Yang Lei walked at a moderate pace, neither too fast nor too slow, one step at a time, and the people on both sides were squeezed open by the invisible pressure emitted by Yang Lei.

  Behind him was a woman, who was Yang Qing Shui, who had been with Yang Lue and Yang Yue that day.

  After walking for several steps, a woman in front of him was heard shouting his name.

  Yang Lei looked up and saw that the woman was Gu Jing, the old man's granddaughter.

  When she saw Yang Lei, Gu Jing waved her hand and walked towards Yang Lei. Some guys who tried to block the way were shaken off by Gu Jing without hesitation.

  "Xiao Kai, little brother, how come you're just arriving now? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Gu Jing said with a pout on her face as she walked up to him.

  When she called herself brother, Yang Lei was quite helpless and said: "I told Gu Jing, you haven't won yet, don't call me brother."

  "It's just a matter of time anyway, I'm just calling it early, you'll eventually become my younger brother." Gu Jing said nonchalantly, narrowing her eyes.

  "Yang, who is this girl?" Yang Qing Shui asked aloud at this time.

  "My name is Gu Jing, you can call me Jing Jie. Are you the woman of Xiao Ke's younger brother?" Gu Jing said casually.

  Yang Qing's face turned red.

  Yang Lei hastily said: "Gu Jing, don't talk nonsense, Qing Shui is my friend, our relationship is very clean, not the kind you think."

  Yang Qing Shui heard this explanation and felt somewhat disappointed, but didn't show it, his eyes just flashed by.

  "So your name is Qing Shui, little sister." Gu Jing pulled her hand and said, "If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to big sister for help."

  "Thank you, Jing Jie."

  "Qingshui sister, don't worry, I'm here. This time we will definitely enter the Mystic Gate." Gu Jing said.

  Yang Lei was slightly surprised and looked at Gu Jing saying: "Jing, don't blow the cowhide to pieces."

  "What's boasting, huh? Isn't it just entering the mysterious door? No big deal." Gu Jing saw Yang Lei doubting herself and couldn't help but glare at him with great dissatisfaction.

  "Hmm..." Yang Lei was taken aback by her attitude, but then said: "Since you're so confident, tell us about the selection process. With so many people, who knows when it'll be finished?"

  Yang Lei estimated that the number of people who came to select this time, adding up to about eight thousand. Among these eight thousand people, only a dozen or so were finally selected into the Mystic Gate, and it seemed that even in the most successful year, no more than twenty people were admitted. It can be seen that the Mystic Gate has very high requirements for its disciples, so in order to have the opportunity to enter the Mystic Gate, this selection is extremely cruel.

  And this made Yang Lei recall the days of high school entrance exams on Earth, when the promotion rate was also extremely low, but not as abnormal as this, with only about 10 people out of 8,000, a probability that was frighteningly low.
