The next day, early in the morning.
"Knock knock!"
"husband."
Fang Xian opened his blurry eyes and heard Tang Xiaowu's soft call outside. He rubbed his eyes, got up, and opened the door.
Tang Xiaowu's lips curved slightly upwards, forming a charming crescent moon.
Good morning, honey.
"Xiao Wu, why are you up so early?"
"Yeah, my dad and the others said they'd take us to see the 'weird dungeon' after breakfast."
"Okay, then go and wake them up."
Fang Xian yawned and was about to go back to wash up when Tang Xiaowu suddenly threw herself into his arms.
Tang Xiaowu looked up at Fang Xian with her big eyes and began to act coquettishly.
"Hug my husband."
Fang Xian smiled slightly, stroking Tang Xiaowu's hair, and began to feel her beauty with his other hand.
Tang Xiaowu was very well-behaved; she simply held him quietly without making a sound.
...
Fang Xian washed his face.
That feels good.
After getting dressed, he went out of the house.
The girls were already waiting for Fang Xian downstairs, and they all beamed with joy when they saw him come down.
Seven women: "Husband."
Ran Qing: ...
Fang Xian greeted them with a smile, like a king.
He walked forward, and they followed closely behind.
Ran Qing didn't like this feeling. She wasn't Fang Xian's woman, so why did she have to be like this?
However, she didn't say anything and silently walked forward with Mu Wanyao.
We encountered Mr. Ran and his group along the way.
Old Ran grinned, his laughter deep and resonant.
"Good morning, young friend Fang Xian."
"Good morning, Mr. Ran."
Fang Xian smiled in response and walked side by side with Old Man Ran.
They got along well and soon arrived at the cafeteria.
Having learned from yesterday's experience, they went straight in this time. As soon as they entered, they saw Tang San and his wife stand up with smiles and greet them.
Good morning, everyone.
"Good morning, Emperor Tang."
After a few pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
"Make yourselves at home, don't be shy."
Tang San showed great hospitality by preparing a very rich and delicious breakfast.
Old Ran spoke slowly and gently.
"You've gone to a lot of trouble, Emperor Tang."
"It's what I should do."
Tang San smiled gently and looked at Fang Xian with tender eyes.
"Young friend Fang Xian, my daughter told me you're already level 93?"
Upon hearing this, the five members of the Ran family looked at Fang Xian with disbelief.
Ran Tian, who was new to the industry, exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god! Level 93!"
"Fang Xian, how old are you? How come you're already level 93?"
Ran Long and Ran Hu stared wide-eyed at Fang Xian, eager to hear the answer from him.
Fang Xian smiled slightly, making no attempt to hide anything.
"Yes, I just reached level 93 a couple of days ago."
Although they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.
What does level 93 mean?
Everyone's talents and career path awaken around the age of 20, and it is from this moment that experience can be gained.
There is a limit to the number of times you can enter a dungeon; you can only enter five times a day.
To level up faster, you need to rely on rare items such as "experience cards", "experience pills", and "experience dungeons".
Peerless talents like Mu Wanyao and Ran Qing were able to reach level 91 around the age of 30 by relying on the vast resources of their families and the country.
It took about 10 years for Fang Xian to awaken, but less than a month has passed since then. He has already far surpassed the "Peerless Twins" at level 91, which is astonishing.
Ran Qing stared intently at Fang Xian, knowing better than anyone how difficult it was to quickly reach level 91.
It's unbelievable that Fang Xian could reach level 93 in such a short time; it's simply astonishing.
No wonder Mu Wanyao's face is always filled with love and admiration whenever she mentions Fang Xian.
It turns out that there really are people in the world who are described by Mu Wanyao as peerless geniuses.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."
Old Ran couldn't help but sigh, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"I've spent my whole life on the battlefield, and after all the hardships, I still haven't broken through the shackles of level 96. Sigh."
He sighed softly, and a brocade box appeared in his hand.
"Fang Xian, this is the key item for breaking through to level 96—the Enlightenment Pill."
"Now I'm giving it to you, hoping you can use it to break through to level 96."
When Tang San saw Ran Lao take out the "Enlightenment Pill", he cursed him inwardly as an old fox.
After reaching level 96, if each person wants to break through to level 97, they must master a skill that belongs to them.
In other words, "exclusive skills".
Without mastering the "exclusive skill", you will never be able to break through level 96.
Take Professor Ran, for example. He has been stuck in the Class of '96 for over 40 years and has never been able to break through.
The "Enlightenment Pill" can be used to enhance the user's comprehension when breaking through level 96.
However, "Enlightenment Pills" are extremely rare, and each major family has no more than ten in stock.
Old Master Ran brought it out at this time, clearly intending to win over Fang Xian.
The Tang Sect also had "Enlightenment Pills," but he originally intended to save them for Mu Yunzhi to use to break through to level 96. Now that Elder Ran had gotten there first, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap his thigh.
Fang Xian also knew something about the "Enlightenment Pill." The country hadn't given it to him before, and they hadn't expected him to level up so quickly.
When Elder Ran took out such a valuable "Enlightenment Pill" for Fang Xian, his intentions were obvious.
Fang Xian didn't accept it immediately. Although the gift was good, he felt obligated to accept it and didn't want to be restricted by the Ran family.
After all, he wanted it, and there were ways to get his hands on the "Enlightenment Pill".
"Mr. Ran, I can't accept something so valuable."
"Young friend Fang Xian, we get along well, and you are a pillar of the nation. I just want to offer a small token of my appreciation to show the friendship between our two families."
Fang Xian understood what Old Ran meant; every word he uttered subtly hinted at his intentions, without explicitly asking for anything in return.
—Seeking protection.
Fang Xian held the Ran family in high regard.
In that chaotic era, anyone who stood up to defend their country deserved his respect.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go along with it and agree.
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer. Thank you, Elder Ran."
"From now on, as long as it's not something that violates morality, I, Fang Xian, am willing to help the Ran family once."
Old Ran laughed heartily, quite satisfied with Fang Xian's answer.
The value of a single move by a strong person is immeasurable.
As long as the Ran family makes a little effort to spread the word, when Fang Xian becomes invincible in the future, no one will dare to provoke the Ran family.
What may seem like a temporary shelter is actually a lifelong benefit.
Tang San smiled on the outside, but his heart was pounding like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Old Master Ran's generosity made him seem stingy in the past.
He gritted his teeth and took out a brocade box as well.
"Fang Xian, your uncle doesn't have anything worthwhile to offer, so I'll give you this 'Breakthrough Pill' as a gift."
Fang Xian had some understanding of the "Breakthrough Pill".
To reach level 96, you need to learn an "exclusive skill," and after acquiring the "exclusive skill," you need to break through this skill to the highest level before you can reach level 97.
"Exclusive skills" cannot be upgraded using "Skill Upgrade Pills," so "Breakthrough Pills" are just as valuable as "Comprehension Pills," both being extremely rare items.
Fang Xian accepted Tang San's brocade box without hesitation.
"Thank you, Uncle."
Tang San's lips twitched slightly. That's it?
Does it mean "not a few sentences"?
...
