....
The entire human world had undergone an earth-shaking transformation over the past sixteen years.
The number of low-level warriors had more than tripled, and even the count of high-level warriors had surged dramatically.
But humans weren't the only ones evolving.
Out in the wilderness, mutated beasts were undergoing mass evolution.
They were becoming more numerous and far more dangerous.
These days, even the outskirts of the wild zones could suddenly produce a Lord-level beast, enough to bring chaos to entire base cities.
And the root of it all?
> Ye Yu's arrival in this world.
Or more accurately:
> The ripple effect caused by his mysterious system.

The System's Price
The system had required immense energy to load.
To meet that need, it began siphoning universal origin energy, drawing cosmic forces toward Earth.
Over sixteen years, Earth's source energy level had skyrocketed across several tiers.
This was the hidden cost of the system's awakening one Ye Yu had been paying since the beginning.
As Ye Yu mulled over all this, a sudden wave of hostile intent swept over him.
He turned sharply, eyes cold and locked onto Zhang Haobai, whose frightened gaze quickly dodged away.
> "You'd better not test me," Ye Yu muttered with calm menace.
Zhang Haobai was nothing but a clown in his eyes.
Ye Yu didn't even consider him a threat.
His strength wasn't just from cultivation it had been earned in blood.
And he wasn't alone in this world anymore.
If Zhang Haobai really wanted to die, Ye Yu had no problem sending his entire family with him.

Ye Yu turned his gaze toward the arena, where Xu Xin and Liu Ting were preparing to spar.
He couldn't help but marvel again at how much the world had changed.
After Ye Yu and Luo Feng's match, it was now time for Xu Xin and Liu Ting ,two of the most dangerous beauties in the school.
Both were eighteen—young and vibrant.
In the hierarchy of Third High, Ye Yu and Luo Feng were on top.
Just behind them were Liu Ting and Xu Xin.
Zhang Haobai? A tier below.
Beautiful and Deadly
When women fight, it's always a spectacle.
But when two goddess-tier warriors clash
the crowd turns into wild animals.
Thanks to martial training and gene energy enhancement, both girls had tall, sculpted physiques—each standing at least 177 cm tall with legs that could rival any model.
Their tight combat suits left nothing to the imagination.
Curves. Strength. Precision. Beauty.
> All of it, as Ye Yu knew very well, had been refined through long, intimate training.
The purple-clad one wielded dual willow-blade sabers, her high ponytail snapping with every move—fierce and valiant.
The one in white held a long sword, with flowing hair cascading to her waist, exuding a gentle grace, yet with the sensual charm of a mature woman.
There was no doubt:
> They had long since become Ye Yu's women—body and soul.
He wasn't shy about it either.
Ye Yu wasn't some chaste little schoolboy.
He had crossed over in body, not just spirit arriving in this world as a toddler, raised by two sisters he now called family.
They found him during a stormy night in the wilderness, and so he was named:
> Ye Yu (Night Rain).
He never looked back.
His past life was gone.
He had already left behind money and support for his mother and sisters back on Earth.
Now?
"Seize the moment. Live without regret."
That was Ye Yu's motto.
---------
As the match began, the two women , best friends just moments ago...suddenly turned into fierce rivals.
If looks could kill, the arena would've been a crater already.
> "Clang!"
Steel flashed....sword and twin blades met in a blinding clash.
In the blink of an eye, both girls vanished, reappearing mid-air in a flurry of strikes.
> "Boom!"
Each impact shook the ground.
Sword light and blade arcs split the air, leaving afterimages in their wake.
Ye Yu winced at the sheer ferocity.
But he didn't interfere. He was used to their rivalry by now.
Their skills were dazzling.....from weapons to hand-to-hand combat.
Both had mastered the refined level of martial arts.
Their speed? Easily 60-70 meters per second...,enough to make onlookers gasp.
And yet, beneath the flash, real skill shone.
Even though they still lagged behind monsters like Ye Yu and Luo Feng, these girls were true prodigies in their own right.
End of School
Suddenly, the dismissal bell rang.
Students poured out of Third High like a stampede.
Ye Yu, drenched in sweat, felt refreshed after the day's battles.
He walked toward the underground parking lot, flanked by Liu Ting and Xu Xin...now wearing elegant dresses, silk stockings, and high-heeled boots.
One wore white, the other purple.
Their hair was pinned up, shedding the last hints of girlhood and revealing a mature, sultry elegance.
Every click of their heels echoed like thunder in the hearts of onlookers.
Heads turned.
Breaths caught.
No one could ignore them.
At the car, they casually tossed their swords and blades into the trunk.
Enter Luo Feng
"Hey man, I heard you signed with the Limit Martial Hall?" Ye Yu asked, glancing at Luo Feng, who was just getting into his car with his friend Wei Wen.
> "Yeah," Luo Feng replied. "Signed yesterday. Compared all the offers, and the Limit Hall gave me the best terms.....a Special-Class Contract."
He smiled.
Now that he was officially a warrior, life was finally getting easier.
Training used to be a hassle. He had to trek to martial halls every day.
But moving out of government housing still wasn't easy.
With almost two billion people crammed into Jiangnan Base City, space was a luxury.
Even with so many new warriors emerging, real estate prices were sky-high.
Regular warriors could barely afford townhouses.
To live in a private villa?
You either needed insane talent—or billions in Chinese yuan.
Luo Feng wasn't there yet.
But with his recent power-ups, things were starting to look up.
