At the school entrance.

Shang Er still had his hands tucked in his pockets, humming a little tune, his face exuding an indescribable air of triumph. The images of the recent battle were still resonating in his mind.

Zhu Lang will always be Zhu Lang. So what if you're a city's Martial Dao Association? I slaughtered you all effortlessly. Not a single one was a match for me.

Although Shang Er knew the core powerhouses of the Human Race weren't there and that they had regrettably missed each other, he still felt extremely satisfied.

Earth has billions of Zhu Lang. My clan is the second of the Upper Crescent, so we should at least get one-tenth!

Just the thought of it made Shang Er's scalp tingle.

One-tenth… that's hundreds of millions of humans! How far could that advance our clan's cultivation of the Blood Moon Technique? Once the Blood Moon Technique is cultivated to mastery, forget mere Earth—even other Star Domains will become our Zhu Lang farms! Step by step, we will grow stronger and completely dominate the Milky Way! It might even be possible for the entire clan to relocate to the legendary Immortal Domain. That day will come very soon! I just need to confirm whether Li Mi is the mysterious powerhouse who wiped out the Lower Crescent March Clan…

This thought caused Shang Er's ego to swell.

After all, I am the future ruler of Earth. Why should I have to be discreet around these Zhu Lang?

Spreading out his Divine Sense, Shang Er made his way step by step toward the school's medical office. He found that there were only a handful of human Martial Artists within Nu University worth his attention, the strongest among them being merely a Third Grade.

And that woman, Liu Nanwei, has no Spiritual Energy fluctuations in her body at all. She's just an ordinary person!

After confirming multiple times that his senses were correct, a smirk played on Shang Er's lips, and he quickened his pace.

「Inside the school medical office.」

Xu Lai stared at the clock on the wall. It was 9:40 AM. If he drove to his wife's company now, he would get there right at ten.

I can't miss the flight.

Just as he stood up, the door to the medical office was kicked open with a loud bang, startling both Zhou Feng and Liu Nanwei. They both looked up at the same time and saw a young man standing outside the door with his hands in his pockets, a flagrantly arrogant look on his face.

It was Shang Er, though he was occupying someone else's body.

Liu Nanwei slammed the medical journal in her hand onto the desk, her face darkening as she snapped, "Hey! If you're here to see a doctor, then see a doctor! Don't kick the door!"

Well, well. As expected of Li Mi's wife. She's quite feisty.

This elite powerhouse from the Upper Crescent February Clan scanned the room. He was about to devour Liu Nanwei on the spot when he noticed a human male walking slowly toward him.

Shang Er was immediately displeased.

He spoke coldly, "You, get out of my way!"

Seeing that the man had no intention of stopping, Shang Er sneered and reached out to grab Xu Lai. His palm carried a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, terrifying enough to easily obliterate a Ninth-Grade Great Martial Sect.

If you won't listen, then you can die!

Shang Er's thoughts were simple and his methods brutally direct, but just as his palm was about to land on Xu Lai… his body was suddenly slammed by a terrifying recoil force, sending him flying!

BANG!

With the sound of shattering glass, Shang Er flew hundreds of meters out from the third-floor window. He traced an arc through the sky before plunging heavily into the dried-up artificial lake below.

Shang Er's eyes rolled back into his head as he coughed up blood and passed out.

The artificial lake had been abandoned and was usually deserted. The lakebed was just cracked earth, dotted with various dog and cat shelters the students had made. Indeed, the lake had become a habitat for stray animals.

These cats and dogs, used to human contact, showed no fear of Shang Er, the 'visitor from beyond.' Instead, they all gathered around him.

"Director Xu, where'd he go?" Liu Nanwei got up and walked into the corridor. Staring at the shattered window, she said, dumbfounded, "Was he... trying to pull a scam?"

You can never be too careful. The last time she and Li Mi had invited Xu Lai, Ruan Tang, and the other doctors like Li Shouzhong out to a street food stall, a man and woman had tried to pull a similar scam. Spitting blood, flying backward... they were real pros!

"Possibly," Xu Lai replied, not giving it a second thought. He was in a hurry. "I have to go."

Although he sensed the other person was from the Moon Clan, Xu Lai had no time to waste on him. Shang Er had been, in essence, sent flying by his own power and knocked unconscious from the severe injuries.

"Have a good trip, Director Xu," Liu Nanwei said, waving. She then exchanged a look with Zhou Feng. They both stared at the broken door in frustration.

"We need to get the door fixed!" Zhou Feng muttered as he took out his phone.

After Xu Lai picked up Ruan Tang and left for the airport, Shang Er finally came to in the dried-up artificial lake. He slowly regained consciousness. As his heavy eyelids fluttered open, he saw cats and dogs licking him incessantly, leaving him completely baffled.

I'm... surrounded by cats and dogs? Wasn't I on my way to find and devour Li Mi's wife, Liu Nanwei, and investigate whether Li Mi was the mysterious powerhouse who wiped out the Lower Crescent March Clan…?

Shang Er frowned, suddenly clutching his head in pain.

I have... gaps in my memory. After kicking open the door to the medical office, everything is a complete blank.

The more he tried to remember, the worse his head ached.

Forget it. I need to find a place to hide first...

Shang Er looked around blankly and tried to struggle into a sitting position. His face twisted in pain as he sucked in sharp breaths of cold air. That was when Shang Er sensed the fractures in his very core—an extremely serious injury. It meant he couldn't circulate his Spiritual Energy.

Just then, a dog started licking his face again. SLURP.

This was the final straw for Shang Er, a supposed prodigy of the Moon Clan's younger generation. He was furious.

"Get away from me, you fawning mutts!"

His angry shout scared away many of the stray dogs. However, one large wild dog remained, its tongue lolling out. Its ferocious and savage eyes clearly marked it as the leader of the pack.

Before Shang Er's incredulous gaze, the wild dog lifted one of its hind legs.

It was starting to mark its territory!

TSSSSSS…

"AHHHH!!!"

On that bright, sunny afternoon, no one would ever know what kind of living hell the eldest son of the Upper Crescent February Clan's leader had just endured.

***

「On the Moon.」

Shang Sikong, the leader of the Upper Crescent February Clan, stood on the lunar surface, gazing eagerly at the distant azure star.

"How long has it been? Why hasn't any news arrived yet?"

A displeased voice sounded as a young man appeared beside him. At the sound of the voice, Shang Sikong's scalp prickled with fear. He was about to drop to one knee in a salute, but he suddenly remembered the Crown Prince's words: From this day forward, none of you shall kneel. That includes my own father.

He quickly changed his posture to a respectful bow, his fists clasped before him. "Crown Prince."

"Mm." Crown Prince Ji Gui nodded slightly in approval.

This leader of the Upper Crescent has finally stopped groveling. He's showing some of the pride befitting a Moon Clan powerhouse. Good. When a dog gets too used to being a dog, it starts to forget it was once a wolf. That simply won't do.
