In the training grounds of Greenhaven Manor, Li Rui is engaged in a fierce battle with Hogney.

  Both were empty-handed, using authentic crushing battle skills to fiercely bombard each other, fast to the point of only leaving a residual shadow. Li Rui lacked fighting experience and his power usage was not as agile as Hawkney's, so he took a few more punches.

  However, he was calm and collected, swinging his arms open and closed, using the "Green Collar Family Swordsmanship" method to burst out his body's power, instantly unleashing dozens of punches!

  Fists connected in a flurry, stirring up strong gusts of wind. Hohenheim strained to resist, the dull thuds of their physical clash echoing incessantly. The air was filled with energy as the ground beneath them became a massive crater, sending countless fragments and dust flying everywhere.

  The onlookers were all high-ranking officials from the city, watching with great relish.

  "The power of Blood and Flesh is indeed formidable; immediately after advancing, I can already hold my own against Lord Hoguny."

  "After so many years, I finally got a silver rank, it's really great!"

  "Indeed, manpower is scarce. With Lord Li Rui, we can divide our forces to open up more settlements. The Iron Shield Mine has been abandoned for a long time, it's time to reopen it."

  Li Rui's promotion is not only his own business, but also a sensational news that shocked the whole city. From an ordinary person to a silver rank in just one year! Many people find it hard to believe and rush to confirm the authenticity of the news.

  The test is over, Li Rui feels very comfortable and relaxed, a fight with someone of the same level is the best way to stretch one's body.

  Everyone came forward to make friends. Among them, a middle-aged man with purple hair was particularly happy.

  "Congratulations, Lord Li Rui! Your lineage is truly astonishing. My daughter can be quite mischievous, please forgive her."

  This is Miroku's father - Ludo Eien no Kaito, the general manager of Eien no Kaito Farm. He was very satisfied with his daughter's far-sighted investment.

  Compared to him, the face of the politician is somewhat stiff. The thoughtless granddaughter's arbitrary decision makes people feel extremely embarrassed and heartbroken.

  Ji Zheng didn't object to Ge Rui's ascetic practices, but he could keep the contract for future use, no need to sell it. However, thinking of his granddaughter and Li Rui not getting along, their relationship was very bad, he could only sigh helplessly.

  Xia Dai narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, the fruit he had personally cultivated was gradually ripening, making people drool!

  Li Rui still had reservations about her previous actions and didn't go forward to fawn on her.

  "Congratulations, ma'am," said Commander Lindsea of the City Guard. "The city's strength has just increased."

  Everyone was delighted. Li Rui's strength was only one aspect, his precious bloodline allowed everyone to benefit.

  Laman warned: "Other cities will soon get the news. This is no longer an ordinary super bloodline, outsiders are likely to use some drastic measures, and we must make arrangements early."

  The land of the gods also has a similar custom to "grab relatives", using violent and despicable means to compete for extraordinary bloodlines. Now Li Rui has almost the same attraction as Elisa, the "Chosen One".

  "Trade Chief" Carly Xue said, "At least in the Western Territory it's safe, even the Guardian Lord has to rely on the support of the Powder family. What I'm afraid of is those southern bastards causing trouble."

  The Fenmo clan's power in the Western Territory is immense, enough to protect Li Rui. However, since the semi-public rebellion in the Southern Territory, they have been acting extremely cautiously and ostentatiously. Moreover, it is possible that they will send a Golden Stage Transcender to abduct Li Rui and do some heinous things.

  Hogney said with certainty: "Li Rui's strength can hold out for a short time under Jin Jie, enough to wait for the lady's rescue."

  Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that their precious wealth would be snatched away. The lady was capable of flight, and with her protection, they felt much more at ease.

  But they didn't say a few words and quarreled because of "uneven distribution", with the spearhead pointing directly at Hogarth and Ludo Yongmao. Accusing them of unreasonable occupation, begging the lady to let her family's daughter join in too.

  The two of them counterattacked without showing any weakness. They made it clear that the daughter of their family was the winner of the duel and should have such rights; what they did was in accordance with the customs of the divine land, reasonable and lawful.

  What's more important is that Li Rui himself likes them, so what business is it of yours to gossip about!

  The scene became chaotic. Xia Dai Ti raised his hand casually, and everyone immediately quieted down like a chicken.

  "How you scramble for the distribution is your own business, but I must remind you - don't go too far! Absolutely cannot take lives!"

  Everyone nodded in agreement.

  The land of the gods has its own customs and rules. Even if the Xia Dynasty rose to become a lord with absolute power, nothing could be changed, only guided from the side, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

  ~~~~~

  After finishing their business, everyone was busy with their own affairs and prepared to leave. Li Rui also took the opportunity to express his intention to acquire the knowledge of the devil.

  The goods on the market have been basically bought out by the Creek Valley Brothers and other relatives, so we can only see if these families have any hidden goods. Everyone's eyes turned quickly, and in an instant, they all thought of the good idea of "queue-jumping"!

  Then everyone dispersed one after another. Li Rui was blocked by a group of girls as soon as he walked out the door, and they pulled and dragged him in a very improper manner.

  After a long time, everyone saw Li Rui's soft spot for women. He himself didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and it was normal for men from Blue Star to have charm.

  At this time, Li Rui felt like a lottery station with an extremely high winning rate, surrounded by people who came to buy lottery tickets... oh no, it was actually crowded with people rushing to grab the lottery tickets.

  The daughter of the city guard commander, Kaya, a silver-haired girl with long legs, stood at the outermost periphery with a frosty expression, looking very dissatisfied, much like a young woman from Xia Guo who was forced by her parents to meet a potential suitor.

  Although she has no partner, she is a staunch supporter of the "strong self-theory" from within. She is filled with contempt for the behavior of "giving birth to extraordinary offspring to gain glory", and vows to rely on her own strength to make her family achieve a great surname!

  But under his father's cannibalistic gaze, he had no choice but to yield and stand in the outer circle to deal with things.

  ~~~~~~~

  The crowd is far away. Raman and Sana stand together, looking at Li Rui who is being pulled by the girls constantly.

  "I'm telling you, sister, won't you consider it? This is absolutely the best bloodline in the Western Territory. He's still your disciple, he'll definitely listen to you."

  Shana said irritably: "What's there to consider? What do you take me for? I don't need some extraordinary descendant to get something."

  Raman shook his head. "I didn't mean it that way, sister. I really don't get what's so great about Saus that you're always thinking about him."

  Shana remained silent, and Raman continued: "Have you ever thought that after a long sleep, no one remembers you, all the traces of existence disappear, how terrible is that kind of loneliness?

  But having children is different. You can feel that kind of mysterious connection by blood ties. Even if you die, your offspring will continue to live in the world, they are your continuation, another form of immortality."

  Shana's eyes seemed a little dazed for a moment before she snapped back to reality, patted her brother on the head and smiled:

  "You're more nagging than mom. Stop worrying, what's the difference between your kid and mine? Just have a few more for me."

  Having said that, he was about to leave, and Raman hastily followed behind him.

  "Sister! There are very few silver-ranked women in Green Ridge City who are suitable for him, and you're his teacher, a natural close connection, this is a gift from fate, seize the opportunity! News of the extraordinary bloodline spreads quickly, soon there will be many competitors rushing over. You have at most half a year's time, if you don't take advantage of it early on, it'll be troublesome later!"

  For some reason, Shana didn't want to continue talking:

  "Dear 'Laman Mama', I know you're doing this for my own good. Getting pregnant would greatly reduce my combat effectiveness, and it's not the right time yet. My childbearing years still have several decades to go, no rush."

  After saying a few words, he jumped up and left.

  Raman gazed at his sister's disappearing figure and let out a long sigh.
