Shangguan Ba couldn't believe it; the technique of sealing acupoints with silver needles was indeed too bizarre. Is it the Acupoint Divine Skill that disappeared along with the two divine-level masters years ago? Does this mean Chen Tianlong knows this technique?

Impossible, those two masters have been gone for fifteen years now, without any news.

"Yeah, that kid can perform acupoint strikes, that's certain. But can he strike Senior Brother Shangguan Wei like this? We're not sure. However, in that haunted house, our target was Chen Tianlong. Even if there were others around, they wouldn't attack Senior Brother, right?" Mo Shaoyun analyzed.

"Alright, I understand. You all can retreat now; I need to discuss something with the elders." Shangguan Ba remembered something and seemed to deliberately avoid the younger ones.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao and Mo Shaoyun could only withdraw.

After they left, Shangguan Ba started discussing with his senior and junior brothers, "What do you all think is going on?"

"In my opinion, we should first investigate Chen Tianlong's background. If he truly knows the Acupoint Divine Skill, that's quite strange." Shangguan Jianren said.

The others had similar thoughts; after all, those two people were incredibly powerful back in the day; they could wipe out their Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall with just a slap.

Shangguan Ba nodded; he was worried too. If they truly were the descendants of those two masters, offending him would spell disaster.

"Let's put Shangguan Wei's matter aside for now. We'll take action after we figure things out." After Shangguan Ba added this, they began to adjourn the meeting.

At Celestial Wolf Gang in the Capital City.

"Damn it, is that kid Chen Tianlong really Ultraman? How did he even take out Ye Xiong? He was from Yellow Dao Three Stars; how is this possible?" Tang Xiao couldn't believe it.

One of the publicly known masters of Celestial Wolf Gang had been taken down by a brat like Chen Tianlong.

"Reporting to the gang leader, that is indeed the case. Not only were our gang's masters beaten severely, but two disciples of Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall were similarly affected, with their meridians completely shattered. It shows the viciousness and strength of Chen Tianlong, which is not to be underestimated." Gu Yan said.

"Alright, how is Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall reacting?" Tang Xiao, not one to act rashly, immediately inquired about others' situations.

"Holding their position!"

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao took a deep breath. Even the people from Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall dared not act recklessly. This indicates that Chen Tianlong's background is quite strong, so he instructed, "We shall also hold our position. Also, immediately notify Hao Shuai to investigate Chen Tianlong's identity thoroughly without any mistakes."

"Yes, Boss." Ever since his last task failed, Gu Yan has been eager to redeem himself, so he promptly agreed.

With the storm finally subsiding, it meant Chen Tianlong could enjoy some relaxing time again.

In the school, in a classroom of Grade 12 Class 3.

"Chen Tianlong, let me ask you something. Are you an Ancient Martial Cultivator?" Wu Mengting turned her head curiously and asked.

Chen Tianlong nodded, understanding Wu Mengting's curiosity. However, it seems that Ancient Martial Cultivators are no longer uncommon in the South Sea City now.

In the future, South Sea City will see more and more Ancient Martial Cultivators, and they will become increasingly powerful.

"So, Tianlong, after becoming an Ancient Martial Cultivator, can you fly? Take me flying!" Wu Mengting asked adorably.

Chen Tianlong chuckled and said, "Ancient Martial Cultivators are also ranked; once they reach a certain level, they supposedly can fly. But it's not like the traditional fairy flight; it should be more like lightweight skill."

"Oh, I see. Chen Tianlong, do you think I have the potential to cultivate? That way, I can protect myself and not worry my family in the future." Wu Mengting touched on the important point; she wanted to protect herself, so her family wouldn't worry.

"Hehe, Mengting, you don't need to protect yourself; I'll protect you." Chen Tianlong casually said, but it sounded sweet in Wu Mengting's ears.

"Tianlong, this is what you said. You must protect me well and not flirt around!" Wu Mengting smiled triumphantly and turned around to start the class.

Chen Tianlong chuckled, understanding Wu Mengting's meaning, and gently stroked her beautiful hair, unsure of what he was thinking.

That day at school was quite peaceful, just like usual. The two studied and ate together, finally returning to a calm life.

At noon, as Chen Tianlong just lay down, his phone suddenly rang. He was initially stunned, then picked up the phone to see it was an unfamiliar number.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Tianlong finally decided to answer the call.

"Hello, is this Chen Tianlong?" The caller urgently asked as soon as the phone connected.

"Hmm? Who is this?"

"Hehe, it's really Chen. I'm Wang Dahua, the Mo Family's gatekeeper. Wang Dahua, remember we met last time, you gave me your number..."

The caller rambled on and on.

Chen Tianlong frowned, suddenly recalling the day Wu Mengting was poisoned. This Wang Dahua is indeed a rare talent, and now he's willing to call; perhaps he's come to his senses.

"Haha, so it's Dahua. What brings you to call me today?" Chen Tianlong intentionally asked, knowing that if Wang Dahua called, it surely meant something.

Just as Chen Tianlong expected, Wang Dahua spoke straightforwardly, revealing his direct nature, and got to the point: "Chen, I've been thinking about what you said last time, and I believe it's true. I've come to discuss things with you."

"Oh? You've come to your senses?"

Chen Tianlong rejoiced internally; having such a talent on his side is no small matter, but the premise is to make him sincerely follow.

"Yes, I've come to my senses and decided to follow Chen." Wang Dahua said seriously.

Originally, he wasn't sure, but seeing the decline of the Xu Family, along with Elder Xu's removal from power, and the crazy old Xu Kan taking charge, the situation for the servants got worse, treating them like animals, with no salary raise and increasingly harsh attitude.

Most importantly, they don't treat him as a relative, calling upon him at any time, and if he makes a mistake, he faces beatings and scolding, making Wang Dahua feel aggrieved.

"Hehe, Dahua, we are brothers now. There's no need for formality. However, I need you to help me by staying in the Xu Family." Chen Tianlong began his long-term plan; only by placing his informants within the four major families can he truly know his enemy and achieve victory.

"Huh? Chen, I have to stay in the Xu Family?" Wang Dahua was obviously surprised. He had decided to follow Chen Tianlong because gatekeeping at the Xu Family was too frustrating.

"Indeed. But... your salary, I will pay you as before, plus double, which means tripled. Moreover, I will treat you as a brother, and we can hang out and enjoy meals together. How does that sound?"

Chen Tianlong said casually.

"Chen... are you serious? Did I hear wrong, tripled!"

On the phone's other end, obviously quite shocked, he never imagined Chen Tianlong would offer him a raise, thinking he'd change the environment, at least assuring a living without being treated like livestock.

"Hehe, you heard correctly, it's triple. And with Dahua's ability, it's quite overqualified. Once I have more money, I'll give you an even higher salary."

Chen Tianlong chuckled, finding Wang Dahua quite endearing.

"Alright, Chen, you've become my big brother. Whatever you need in the future, just let me know."
