The dean did not dare to hesitate and quickly picked up the call.

“Hello, this is Martin. Yes! Understood! I will certainly capture Luo Fei for you!” After the dean picked up the call, his arrogant expression was quickly replaced by a cautious expression. After a while, he hung up and he was so relieved that he collapsed into his chair.

The young man hurried over as he saw the dean’s expression and passed a piece of tissue to the dean. Then, with a cautious expression, he asked, “Dean, was that…”

“That’s right! That call was from the Yang family!”

The dean glanced at the young man and nodded. “Sigh… Although they aren’t the most famous among the martial artist families, we still can’t afford to offend them. Furthermore, the eldest son of the Yang family, Yang Hao, is now an advanced-level martial artist and considered a prodigy in our base. Recently, he has been making quite a name for himself!” The dean spoke shakily. 

He was aware that the Yang family would not dare to target the Cultivation Academy. However, he was just an insignificant dean of the academy with no power or influence. Although he was just a hair’s breadth away from becoming a martial artist, the differences between him and the Yang family were still worlds apart. 

“I heard that Yang Hao is temperamental. He might simply look for an excuse to kill you. Are you not afraid?”

“Of course I am afraid! Dean…” The young man in the suit was also a little tense when he heard the dean’s words. Even though the two of them were considered noble among ordinary humans, at this moment, they were still extremely fearful…

After a while, the dean tried to calm himself down. He reached out his hand to pick up the cup of tea on the table, but his arms unconsciously trembled. Before the teacup reached the corner of his mouth, the tea spilled all over the floor. After he placed the teacup down, he shakily took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

With his identity, as long as he did not offend a martial artist, he could live a very comfortable life. He certainly did not want to die because of this incident and he did not want to lose his status. In fact, he was extremely afraid.

The young man in the suit noticed that the dean was unable to light his cigarette even after trying to do so for a long time. He immediately took a step forward and offered to help, but he realized that his hands were trembling unconsciously too.

After flicking the lighter for a long time, the young man was still unable to light up the dean’s cigarette.

“Dean… Dean…” The young man suddenly slipped his hand.

Sizzle—

He accidentally lit the dean’s hair on fire. The pungent smell of the burnt hair immediately spread out. The dean grimaced in pain and jumped around in horror.

“Ah! What are you doing! Quick! Put out the fire!”

Smack! Smack! Smack!

The young man quickly took off his coat and smacked it with great force on the dean’s head. It was as if he wanted to kill the dean.

Five minutes later, the series of chaotic events in the office finally subsided. However, the dean’s roar still could be heard.

There was a huge difference between ordinary humans and martial artists. Martial artists were not only powerful, but they were also extremely respected and had a status that was higher than ordinary humans. Martial artists were respected because they could protect ordinary humans from the ferocious beasts outside the base. Without martial artists, ordinary humans would not stand a chance to survive. At the same time, this planet also gave martial artists special privileges. This was also the motivation for ordinary humans to train to become martial artists. However, becoming a martial artist was exceptionally difficult, and the number of martial artists on this planet was far lesser than that of ordinary humans.

…

Meanwhile, the sun was gradually setting in the west and a young man was running rapidly to reach his destination before sunset.

‘Ding! Speed +4’

‘Ding! Speed +5’

‘Ding! Speed +3’

The young man was Luo Fei. At this moment, the notifications in his ears rang as usual. However, he was already used to it, and his speed was not affected by it at all. He had been running at a constant speed of 60 m/s for the past hour. However, his face did not show any signs of fatigue. Instead, it was full of vigor and vitality. He was only slightly panting.

At this moment, a blurry building appeared in front of Luo Fei. The building pierced through the clouds, the glass in the sky reflected rays of blue light. He was overjoyed and his footsteps became lighter.

The Western side and the Northern side of the base were two extremely different areas, and it was like comparing slums to high-end districts. The tall buildings in the North were filled with the smell of technology and wealth. These buildings were well developed and resplendent.

Although commoners were not stopped from moving to this side of the base, the living cost here was very high and commoners rarely traveled here. This was also Luo Fei’s first time to the North. If he were the original owner of his body, he would be stunned and felt lost or inferior.

However, Luo Fei, who came from Earth, had naturally been to places and seen buildings similar to this location. Moreover, he also did not feel inferior as he owned a remarkable system within him. Although this place looked prosperous and had advanced technologies that he never saw in his previous life on Earth, Earth still looked more prosperous compared to this planet.

Although there were more martial artists in the North compared to the West, it was still difficult for people to identify them. However, Luo Fei managed to identify a few martial artists with a quick glance. The rest of the people he saw were beginner-level martial artists, and there were no ordinary humans without martial arts abilities around this place. 

However, all of these had nothing to do with him. He did not stop at all and ran straight in the direction of the Ultimate Dojo.

Suddenly, his vision darkened. Luo Fei raised his head and saw two high-tech, mountain-like buildings looming before him. These two buildings were more majestic compared to the surrounding high-rise buildings. 

The two buildings were colorful and had splendid architecture. One of the buildings even had a lightning-like special effect that was winding around it. Luo Fei’s first impression of the building was that it was simply too gorgeous! On the other hand, the other building had a deep red light winding around it, which gave a steady and majestic impression, similar to that of a steady mountain.

It was twilight and the sky was dark and covered with twinkling stars. Under the soft glowing light from the setting sun, the lighting from the two buildings made it seem like lighthouses of the entire base, lighting up the darkness of the nearby areas.

Luo Fei stopped from a far distance away to admire the view. He was amazed. This was not something he could ever see on Earth.

“Could this be the core area of the Northern part of our base? It’s really impressive!” Luo Fei looked at the surrounding buildings that were equipped with high-end technologies and bright lights that shone throughout the dark night. This place was extremely prosperous and different from the Western area where commoners like them had lived.

The size of these bases that humans built was subjective. It could be described as both a large place and a small place. Bases could be like a deserted island in the middle of the ocean. It could be defined as remote and small. 

However, it was not entirely as small as he thought. It actually took Luo Fei an hour to travel from the outer circle on the Western side to reach the core area in the North. 

Luo Fei had been keeping track of time since he arrived at the border of the West. He had been running at a constant speed of 60m/s. 

If Luo Fei had to run from the Eastern side to the Western side, the time he would take would be unimaginable.. Judging by his current speed, he would probably have to spend more than a day to achieve that!
