In the Sky Net Kingdom, Qingtang Town, Monster Beast Mountain Range.

The Monster Beast Mountain Range is one of the main veins passing through the entire Xavier Continent, dividing the vast Xavier Continent into several parts, ultimately forming the territories of several powerful empires.

At this moment, in a secluded valley fringed by weirdly shaped rocks on the outer area of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.

An eerie silence prevailed here.

"Young Master, it's not that we want to betray you, but you are no longer worth serving!"

In one corner of the valley.

A young man, dressed in embroidered garments, his face flushed with anger, and his hands full of blue tendons, was glaring at two black-clad swordsmen not far away, his body slightly shaking.

"I am the young master of the family, the successor, who is it that incited you to betray me!"

The two black-clad men, tall and robust, with icy faces. One of them drew a long sword, the cold twinkling light of the blade causing the surrounding temperature to drop.

"Young master, you can go now!"

The long sword trembling, as swift as lightning, pierced the young man's chest, blood gushing out.

"You~~~"

The young man fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, his breath failed him.

After the two men in black checked the young man's body and ensured that he was no longer breathing, they lifted the body and tossed it into a nearby dirt pit, covering it with thin soil. There was one more small mound in the valley.

"Young Master, rest in peace!"

"Given your caliber, the family will only meet its demise in your hands... It's better if...”

The pair turn on their heel and leave.

......

Darkness envelopes the valley.

Boom!

With the rumbling explosion, a small mound of dirt is blasted apart by a streak of lightning, sending dust flying in every direction.

Cough, cough, cough!

Inside the pit, a young man named Wang Teng opens his dazed eyes, one hand massaging his head, coughing continuously as he claws his way out of the pit.

"Damn it, where am I? Didn’t I just die?"

Wang Teng gazes at his surroundings, utterly lost.

The pitch-black night, the chilling wind that continuously ripples across his skin, makes his body hair stand on end.

Wang Teng recalls being chased by a pack of wolves, eventually losing his footing and plunging off a cliff. At that moment, he deeply regretted his hot-headed pursuit of hunting animals when he clearly had plenty of time.

"Thank goodness, I didn’t die. The heavens have given me another chance!"

After a long silence, a slight hint of amusement appears on Wang Teng's pallid face, "Why is there a sword scar on my chest, what on earth is happening!"

As he coughs lightly, a piercing pain radiates from his chest, and the glaring sword scar is like a mallet striking him in the heart.

"Calling Xiao Qi!"

In this unfamiliar place, the only one Wang Teng could trust was Xiao Qi.

"Ding, the system is booting up!"

"Ding, the system has started up successfully!"

This cold voice, in Wang Teng's ears at this moment, was the sound of happiness.

"Great, the system is still working!"

Wang Teng had never felt this happy before.

"Master, I am Xiao Qi!"

An additional voice appeared in Wang Teng's mind, the familiar voice of Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi was the spirit of the system, specially designed to assist its master's growth.

Speaking of the system, it's crucial to mention why Wang Teng ended up here.

Wang Teng was Chinese, and unexpectedly gained a system. He originally planned on achieving great things and reaching the pinnacle of life with this system, winning over a fortune, but fell off a cliff while trying to acquire energy points for the first time.

This was the most frustrating thing Wang Teng had experienced.

"Xiao Qi, quickly help me analyze where we are!"

Wang Teng urgently wanted to understand where he had landed, particularly since he was in an unknown location and had bizarrely sustained a sword wound.

"Master, based on my analysis and collection, it's confirmed that this place is not the original Earth - but another world." Xiao Qi coldly let out the sentence. "Master's wound was caused by a sharp weapon that penetrated his body!"

Wang Teng's body slightly trembled.

"Just as I thought!"

Actually, Wang Teng had anticipated the outcome.

Whilst in the valley, Wang Teng could vaguely see the surrounding environment, with towering trees, like gigantic umbrellas, each one about two to three hundred meters high, standing like giants, a sight rarely seen on Earth.

What's more important is that he remembered clearly falling off a cliff and waking up in a world engulfed in darkness. He still had a sword scar across his chest that rekindled his earlier speculations.

This must be another world.

In other words, he had traversed!

"Master, there’s no need to feel disheartened," Xiao Qi said. "You could say that, from the moment the system was acquired, your future was destined to be glorious. Earth limited your potential, but this strange world, according to analysis, is extremely suitable for your development and growth.”

Wang Teng rolled his eyes, "Glory my ass! I almost lost my life from the get go! And here you are, shamelessly saying that!"

Just as his words fell, a wave of intense pain swept through him, and his mind was bombarded with a torrent of information.

"I arrived in a place called Xuan Huang Continent, and, moreover, I'm a Young Master of some family? The future inheritor, and even the name is exactly the same!"

After some time, Wang Teng felt it was too incredible.

Back in Hua Xia, Wang Teng was a simple and honest university student. He thought he would lead an ordinary life, get married, and live out his days peacefully.

Now, he was a member of a prominent family, and the heir at that.

This was the life of the rich and handsome!

"It seems, as a tall, rich, and handsome, I am in grave danger now!"

Through his memories, Wang Teng knew that the deceased is also named Wang Teng, sharing the same name as him. He was the eldest young master of the Wang Family, one of the three major families in Qingtang town, the future heir with a prestigious background.

However, this young master Wang Teng didn't have the respect of others in the Wang Family. The reason was simple: he was born a cultivation dud with poor talent, incapable of leading the family to greatness.

"If I were you, I would just live honestly as a rich man's son, you might even live out your life!"

Wang Teng figured out what happened. This young master Wang Teng was poor at cultivation, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, along with the death of his powerful patron, the eldest elder. Consequently, there were some people in the family who started having thoughts, preparing to support a new young master. Obviously, this Wang Teng was ruthlessly abandoned.

Beyond that, Wang Teng knew more about the Xuan Huang Continent and was endlessly astonished.

The Xuan Huang Continent is a world where martial strength is worshipped. People here start their cultivation from a young age, thereby gaining supreme powers, flying to the sky, moving mountains and seas, omnipotent.

For instance, this young master Wang Teng, whose talent was extremely poor, was only a second-order warrior. In the Wang Family, this level of power belonged to the lowest.

Ordinary people who cultivate can reach this state, which is most common in the Xuan Huang Continent. According to rumors, once reaching the ninth order warrior state and then advancing further, one could touch the mysterious realm of supreme power.

"Master, according to the system's analysis, if you want to stay steady in this Xuan Huang Continent, you must return to the Wang Family, obtain the resources of the Wang Family, and your success rate will reach 99%!"

Wang Teng felt as though he had been splashed with cold water.

"Return to the Wang Family?"

Thinking about the powerful existence in the Wang Family, Wang Teng couldn't help but shiver, subconsciously looking at the sword scar on his chest. It was very conspicuous. If he went back, wouldn't it be like sending himself to death?

"Yes, master must return to the Wang Family. Only by leveraging the resources of the Wang Family can you activate the system to obtain racial slaves!"

Wang Teng wryly smiled and said, "Why do I have to accumulate a thousand units of energy points to open the racial slave page? This is really screwing with me! It's forcing me to return to the Wang Family!"

In the end, Wang Teng chose to return to the Wang family, pretending to be the eldest son.

There was no better chance than this one; though he was impersonating the Wang's heir, all Wang Teng needed was to secure the first resource bundle and activate the racial slavery page to successfully start summoning the racial elites.

The thought of flying high and burrowing deep, the supreme power that would bring, excited Wang Teng beyond measure.

Luckily for Wang Teng, the outer region of the Yao Beast Mountain Range had relatively few active beasts; even those present had been largely hunted and killed by the Yao Beast Hunter, and per the guidance of the AI assistant, Xiao Qi, it took him only half a day to finally emerge from the outer region.

During this time, Wang Teng, as an earthling, gained insight into the wonders and fears of this enchanted world.

On the government road leading to the Yao Beast Mountain Range.

A ragged figure of Wang Teng finally appeared.

"Ha ha ha, I've finally made it out!"

...

Meanwhile.

One hundred miles away from the Yao Beast Mountain Range is Qingtang Town.

Though small in size, the town housed a population of 50,000. The three strongest forces were the Li, Wang and Zhang families. They held the majority of the resources within Qingtang Town and were also known as 'The Three Great Families of Qingtang'. Each household had a powerful warrior who had surpassed the ninth order.

The Wang's residence.

In a secret room.

"How's progress?"

Under the dim light, a cold face was revealed, eyes sparkling brightly. This person was none other than the second in line to inherit the Wang Family's legacy, Wang Kun.

"In reply to the young master, the person is already dead. We checked it ourselves. Even if an almighty god came, he wouldn't be able to bring him back to life. Dead beyond dead. By a single night's passing, the body was already eaten clean by magical beasts," said the two men in black respectfully.

"Oh no, my dear big brother, why did you leave so abruptly like this!"

Without any warning, the cold man whipped his arm and shot out two chilling lights, potent and firm, striking the two men in black. Instantaneously, their faces turned a ghastly green. Their eyes widened in shock as they bled profusely from their seven orifices and died.

"The young master is dead, there's no need for you two to come back anymore!"

With a vicious laugh, Wang Kun got up, turned around and walked out of the secret chamber without a glance at the bodies on the ground.

"Big brother, rest in peace. Only under my, Wang Kun's, hand will the Wang family flourish. You, a good-for-nothing, why should the family waste resources on you?"

......

Wang Teng was rather fortunate.

On the official road, he ran into a merchant group heading back to Qingtang Town. Without any peril, he got on the carriage and returned to Qingtang Town.

"Stay calm, I must stay calm!"

Qingtang Town was about the same size as a small town on Earth with the only difference being that it was filled with warriors in martial attire. Furthermore, some warriors were clad in animal skin clothes, exuding a powerful aura.

As Wang Teng looked upon the familiar yet unfamiliar Qingtang Town, he once again reminded himself.

"From now on, I am Wang Teng, the young master of the Wang family, the rightful inheritor!"

Following his memory, Wang Teng arrived at the entrance of the Wang family estate.

"The young master has returned!"

The guard at the gate respectfully announced.

Wang Teng immediately felt a sense of grandeur. "Being the young master has its perks. Feeling everyone bow and scrape is nice," he thought.

The Wang family estate was enormous. It featured pavilions, terraces, artificial mountains and flowing streams. It had everything one could want.

As soon as Wang Teng entered, he admired the scenes like a speedy horse glancing at flowers. He was in awe. This was a mansion worthy of a true tycoon. He was unsure how many entrances and exits there were.

"Young Master, you're finally back, this old servant..."

As Wang Teng entered a splendid overlook of the mansion, an old man immediately came to greet him, leaving only to break down in relief.

This old man was Wang Teng's housekeeper, Wang Fu. His name was bestowed upon by the Wang family. He was a loyal retainer who had served the young master since he was little.

"Stop crying, isn't your young master right here?" Wang Teng rebuked, mimicking the previous Young Master Wang Teng's tone.

Wang Fu did not doubt the identity of the young master in front of him. "Young Master, some people in the clan claimed that you went to the Monster Beast Mountain Range to hunt monsters yesterday and were accidentally killed by a monster beast. Your accompanying guards all committed suicide out of guilt. Seeing you unharmed, this old servant is overjoyed to tears!"

"Nonsense!" Wang Teng huffed coldly. "Your young master is destined to live a long life. Why would some insignificant monster beasts matter? And those guards deserved to die!"

Wang Fu bowed his head, "The young master is right. They failed to protect you and deserved their fate."

Wang Teng didn't plan on continuing the idle chat with the housekeeper. As there were people inside the Wang family, he was like a sheep entering a den of lions. He had to obtain a thousand-unit energy point immediately, and only then, with followers by his side, would he have the confidence to face anything.

"Go and buy monster beasts for me right now. I want monsters of all ranks, the more, the better. If you can't handle this task, then get lost. Did you hear me clearly?"

"The old servant will arrange for people to purchase magical beasts right away!" Wang Fu hesitated for a moment, "Young Master, what if the Second Elder disagrees?"

With a dark look on his face, Wang Teng retorted, "What does the second elder count for? If this young master wants to buy a magical beast, do I need to solicit his approval? And you, whose side are you on, the Second Elder's or this young master's!"

"I'll go right away!"

After Wang Fu left, Wang Teng's face returned to normal.

"Little Seven, are you sure that killing the magical beasts here can get energy units?" Wang Teng asked Little Seven, "You better not be deceiving me."

"Master, you can rest assured one hundred percent. After system analysis, the magical beasts on this XuanHuang continent should have extremely high energy units. As long as the master personally kills the magical beasts, you can unlock the slave race option!"

...

Wang Teng returned to the Wang family, and his moves did not escape everyone's eyes.

In the vast Wang family, everyone's moves were being observed, let alone the super waste heir, Wang Teng.

"Congratulations to the second young master, you're about to become the heir of the Wang family. Moreover, with the second young master's potential, becoming a martial general in the future is as good as done."

"Young Master Wang will definitely lead the Wang family on a glorious path. In the future, Qingtang Town will also be dominated by the Wang family, Zhang family and Li family, what do they even count as!"

"What is Wang Teng even, naturally a waste, it would be already very good if he could become a sixth-order warrior in the future!"

"Hahaha!"

...

In another courtyard.

A joyful expression appeared on the usually cold face of Wang Kun. He thoroughly enjoyed listening to the flattery from the people around him. Previously, these people were only following his elder brother, but now they were all climbing up to him.

“All of your good intentions, I understand them well. As long as I become the family’s heir, I promise that I won't forget any of you in the future."

Wang Kun was not afraid of what outsiders said. If it weren't for his elder brother's support from the senior elder, he would be nothing. The heir to the Wang Family must be him, no one can snatch this position away from him. Whoever tried would become his enemy.

"Young Master, something bad happened!"

Abruptly, a figure charged in, much to the displeasure of the crowd. After all, those present were the higher-ups of the Wang Family.

"What is the meaning of this panic?!" Wang Kun shouted sharply, "Don't you know we're having a discussion here? Leave at once!"

"But…Young Master, I just heard that the eldest young master was not killed by the monster beast, he just returned home!" The guard, with a cold sweat, stammered.

Crack!

Wang Kun's hand was resting on the armrest of the chair. The veins popped out prominently and with a crack, the armrest shattered into pieces.

"What did you say, who returned!"

The others also changed their expressions.

"The eldest young master is back!" the guard trembled out.

A cold light flashed in Wang Kun's eyes. "He's actually not dead!"

Everyone was stunned.
