Main Star of the Heilongshan Empire.
Nuo Lanshan Family Branch.
At this moment, the current patriarch of the Nuo Lanshan family, Yuke Nuo Lanshan, and the old patriarch stood respectfully to one side.
Before them stood a man clad in a dark-green combat uniform. His ears were pointed, his features handsome and sharp, and a peculiar axe-shaped medal hung prominently on his chest.
He was the founding ancestor of the Nuo Lanshan family—
Nuo Lanshan himself.
A Universe Rank Ninth powerhouse, Nuo Lanshan was also a legendary expert who had once earned the title of "Giant Axe Warrior" in the Giant Axe Fighting Arena. Within the Nuo Lanshan family, his authority was absolute.
"Pula," Nuo Lanshan said with a smile as he looked at the young man before him,
"I am very pleased. Winning ninety-nine consecutive life-and-death battles in the Giant Axe Arena is no small feat—worthy of the disciple I value."
"If you win one more match, you'll obtain the title of 'Fighting Martial King.'"
Pula—
The most outstanding talent of the younger generation of the Nuo Lanshan family, and one of Nuo Lanshan's personal disciples.
Nuo Lanshan had only just emerged from seclusion when he heard of Pula's astonishing record. It had immediately put him in an excellent mood.
Over all these years since founding the family—
Aside from himself, no one had ever earned the title of Fighting Martial King in the Giant Axe Arena, let alone Giant Axe Warrior.
"Teacher," Pula said excitedly, his voice firm,
"I will absolutely live up to your expectations! I'll win the hundredth life-and-death battle, claim the title of Fighting Martial King, and bring glory to the family!"
"One day, I'll follow in your footsteps and strive for the title of Giant Axe Warrior as well!"
Though he was Nuo Lanshan's disciple, Pula rarely had the chance to meet his teacher in person.
To him, Nuo Lanshan was not just his master, but a living legend—his lifelong idol.
How could he not be thrilled by such praise?
Nuo Lanshan nodded faintly, then asked casually,
"Where is Ronnie? Before I entered seclusion, I recall he had already achieved over seventy consecutive victories. How is he doing now?"
Among the younger generation, only Pula and Ronnie were worth remembering in his eyes.
But the moment his words fell—
The room fell into dead silence.
Pula's expression, still glowing with excitement, darkened instantly.
"What's going on?"
Nuo Lanshan frowned. From their reactions alone, he already had a vague guess.
In the Giant Axe Arena's life-and-death battles—
One side must die.
As a former Giant Axe Warrior, he understood this rule better than anyone.
Yuke Nuo Lanshan forced a bitter smile.
"Not long after you entered seclusion… Ronnie was defeated in a life-and-death battle."
"By a newcomer called the Thunder Emperor."
"Defeated by a newcomer?"
Nuo Lanshan let out a cold laugh. A chilling murderous intent gathered in his eyes.
"Then where is this Thunder Emperor now?"
Killing intent was second nature to someone who had earned the title of Giant Axe Warrior.
Pula and the others felt the temperature in the room drop sharply, unconsciously swallowing.
The old patriarch spoke with difficulty,
"That Thunder Emperor… has now achieved 995 consecutive victories."
"He's close to a thousand wins—and is about to claim the title of Giant Axe Warrior."
Ever since Ronnie's death, the Nuo Lanshan family had closely followed Jiang Yan's battles.
Watching him win again and again filled them with rage—
And helplessness.
"What?! Nearly a thousand wins?"
Nuo Lanshan's pupils shrank.
He asked coldly,
"Have you confirmed his identity?"
Star-level life-and-death battles rarely crossed vast starfields. Most combatants came from regions surrounding the Heilongshan Empire.
Yet now, a star-level genius from this very area was on the verge of becoming a Giant Axe Warrior.
In the entire history of the Heilongshan Empire, such figures were exceedingly rare.
If someone like this had no background, he would be worth recruiting at any cost.
"Teacher," Yuke Nuo Lanshan said carefully,
"'Thunder Emperor' is merely his chosen title. His real name is Jiang Yan."
"He is the lord of Huaxia Star."
"He's also an external member of the Heilongshan branch of the Metaverse Company."
"As for Mingyu… his relationship with Jiang Yan is extremely close. According to our investigation, they've already begun addressing each other as brothers."
Nuo Lanshan drew a sharp breath.
"What?! The lord of Huaxia Star?"
"Isn't that planet ruled by a universe-level powerhouse?"
"And you're telling me Mingyu calls this kid his brother?"
Mingyu was a Domain Lord-level existence.
To someone like Nuo Lanshan, Mingyu was powerful enough to crush him with a single hand.
And yet such a figure would willingly befriend a mere… stellar-level warrior?
Unless—
There truly existed heaven-defying treasures on that planet.
Nuo Lanshan immediately concluded that Jiang Yan must have used some extraordinary treasure to win Mingyu over.
"Ronnie's matter," Nuo Lanshan said firmly,
"let it be buried."
"This Jiang Yan—you must not provoke or offend him under any circumstances."
He could afford to offend Jiang Yan.
But Mingyu?
Absolutely not.
The old patriarch hesitated before speaking,
"Teacher… it seems our Nuo Lanshan family has already offended him."
"What?!"
Nuo Lanshan's face changed drastically.
He glared at them, fury surging.
"A bunch of useless trash! Explain—now!"
Yuke Nuo Lanshan quickly recounted everything that had happened in the Virtual Universe.
His expression grew increasingly grim.
"We later tried to make amends with generous gifts, but he refused outright."
"He even said that in the near future, he would go to the Caro Empire and personally destroy the Nuo Lanshan family."
"Bastard!"
Nuo Lanshan's face darkened completely. The murderous intent around him exploded without restraint.
"He's currently on the main star of the Heilongshan Empire, correct?"
His voice was icy, his gaze venomous.
If Jiang Yan dared threaten the annihilation of the Nuo Lanshan family—
Then he had no choice but to act.
He wanted to see exactly what kind of treasures existed on that planet.
Two years?
He had time.
A planetary lord?
So what?
If he quietly disguised himself as a star thief, who would ever trace it back to him?
The empire's laws required evidence.
At that moment—
"Master," Pula said suddenly,
"I've just received a message from the Giant Axe Arena."
"My opponent for the hundredth life-and-death battle has been matched."
Pula's eyes lit up with excitement.
Finally—
The final battle.
"Teacher," he said quickly, opening the email,
"the opponent has been confirmed."
The killing intent around Nuo Lanshan slowly receded. He smiled faintly.
"Take a look," he said calmly.
"Let's see who your opponent is."
