Chapter 1 - Villainous Wealth at the Start

Chapter 1: Villainous Wealth at the StartYear 1455 of the Divine Revelation Era, Shenlong Empire, Donghai City’s First High School.

Nearly a thousand third-year students gathered on the playground, their faces filled with anticipation and nervousness. Today was the day when all third-year students in the Shenlong Empire would awaken to their new jobs.

Over a thousand years ago, the Void descended, and countless Void creatures appeared across Earth through spatial rifts, beginning their invasion. Consequently, Earth underwent drastic changes and became deeply bound to a system called Divine Revelation.

Across the world, objects known as Divine Revelation Monoliths appeared, bestowing blessings on humans at the age of eighteen to awaken various professions.

At the center of the playground stood a black obelisk, flickering with countless lights, and a slender figure stood at the center of the altar.

“Teacher Chen, with Lin Feng’s talent and grades, he should at least awaken an S-level profession, right?”

“Probably, he is the most outstanding genius in our school!”

Outside the altar, teachers were whispering to each other with expectant expressions. A beautiful, elegant woman with an intellectual aura and a charming smile stood among them, her professional attire highlighting her tall and graceful figure, especially her long black legs that drew attention.

She was Chen Lingxi, the homeroom teacher of Class 9 in the third year. The boy undergoing the awakening ceremony was named Lin Feng, her student and the most outstanding student in the school. In every exam, whether in theoretical knowledge or physical assessments, Lin Feng was always near perfect.

Therefore, Chen Lingxi had high hopes for Lin Feng’s awakening ceremony.

Suddenly, lightning and thunder resounded, and a roaring sound echoed from the void. A holy light descended from the sky, illuminating Lin Feng’s body.

“This is…”

Seeing this scene, not only did Chen Lingxi widen her beautiful eyes, but Principal Lu Yun and other school leaders on the podium also stood up!

“SS-level profession anomaly!!”

Could it be that their Donghai First High School was about to make history??

But at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

A massive shadow suddenly crossed the sky. The students looked up to see a luxurious, spirit-powered plane passing over Donghai City. Then, the awakening ceremony was disrupted, and the holy light instantly vanished…

“What happened!! What is the Traffic Control Bureau doing!??”

“Wasn’t all traffic supposed to be shut down during the awakening ceremony, including teleportation arrays!?” Principal Lu was shocked and furious, unable to fathom how the awakening ceremony could be interfered with!

It’s important to know that the awakening ceremony is extremely complex and requires a highly stable space. Teleportation arrays and spiritual powered vehicles can disrupt spatial stability.

Therefore, the Empire’s law mandates that during the job change period, all cross-city transportation and teleportation arrays are strictly prohibited.

Yet today, a spiritual powered plane had flown into Donghai City which was a blatant violation of the Empire’s law!

Chen Lingxi looked worriedly at Lin Feng on the altar, ‘Please let nothing go wrong…’

…

“Young Master, we have arrived in Donghai City.” 

On a luxurious private plane, Qin Xian slowly opened his eyes. He appeared to be in his twenties, with a smooth, fair face, sharply defined features, and strikingly handsome. 

Though his expression was slightly lazy, he exuded a noble aura that compelled respect.

Qin Xian glanced at the view of Donghai City through the window, a mysterious look in his eyes. He had been here for nineteen years since his transmigration…

The Qin family was one of the most powerful families in this world. His father, Qin Ming, was the head of the Qin family, a Level 89 Spiritual Master, and one of the Empire’s five legendary powerhouses, serving as the chief executive of the Empire’s Cardinal Council, wielding immense power!

As the heir to the Qin family and Qin Ming’s only son, Qin Xian had received rigorous elite education from a young age and was the subject of great expectations.

And Qin Xian did not disappoint, awakening an SSS-level legendary combat profession, the Oracle Knight! The moment he awakened, the Divine Revelation Monolith triggered a vision spanning three hundred miles, even alarming the Regent.

Not only that, Qin Xian also awakened another profession, becoming a rare dual-profession individual not seen in a century.

However, until now, no one knew what his second profession was…

After awakening, Qin Xian was directly admitted to the Imperial Academy, and in just one year, his profession level had risen to Level 21.

An ordinary person’s job level can only reach around Level 25 at most. In other words, Qin Xian reached in a year what most people could and couldn’t achieve in a lifetime. He was recognized as a super genius throughout the Empire!

In front of Qin Xian stood an old man in a suit, his hair meticulously groomed, serving with respectful diligence.

He was Steward Qiu, Qin Xian’s personal butler who was also was also a Level 58 Battle Mage! It should be known that a combat professional at Level 40 could hold a high position equivalent to a city lord in the Empire.

A combat professional above Level 50 was considered a national deterrent force. With Steward Qiu’s strength, he could establish a large guild or even become an imperial general! S~ᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Yet, he willingly served as Qin Xian’s personal butler, managing various affairs with unwavering loyalty. This showcased the Qin family’s deep foundation…

Qin Xian spoke softly, “Has that person’s identity been confirmed?”

Steward Qiu nodded, “It has been verified. After taking the Arcane Source, that person first stayed in Hunluan city for a few years, then underwent plastic surgery in the underground black market, bought a new identity, and has been running a butcher shop in Donghai City ever since.”

Someone immediately stepped forward and respectfully placed a stack of documents in front of Qin Xian.

“Butcher shop?” A faint smile appeared on Qin Xian’s face as he looked down at the documents, sighing softly, “The youngest general of the military back then, now a butcher shop owner, it must have been hard for him.”

Though he said that, Qin Xian’s eyes were dark and grim.

Lin Yu, a former imperial major general, Level 52 Crimson Lotus Knight, and the youngest general in the military, once served as the Emperor’s guard officer.

Fifteen years ago, during a military operation on the Void frontline. The Empire’s military suffered heavy losses, with six legions completely wiped out, including the unit led by Lin Yu, who then disappeared.

The military had declared Lin Yu dead, but the Qin family knew that the former imperial major general was still alive.

Lin Yu had stolen the Qin family’s treasure—the Arcane Source—at the Void frontline and he then faked his death to escape…

The Arcane Source, a supreme treasure from the Void, was crucial to the Qin family’s century-long plan to usurp the Empire! For years, the Qin family had been tracking Lin Yu’s whereabouts.

Qin Xian flipped through the documents in his hand and noticed a photo of a young boy, raising an eyebrow, “This Lin Feng?”

Steward Qiu replied solemnly, “Lin Yu adopted an orphan named Lin Feng, who is currently a senior in Donghai First High School.”
