Lin'an County

Zhenyuan Escort Bureau

[Name: Jiang Yuan]

[Realm: Level 4 of Physical Training Realm (Bone Training)]

[Congenital luck: Outstanding understanding (green), strong body (white)]

[Power of Luck: 0 wisps]

[Outstanding savvy: Your natural savvy surpasses that of ordinary people, making it easier for you to comprehend the mysteries of any exercise.]

[Strong body: You are naturally strong, with a talent for body training.]

Jiang Yuan paused his exercise on the martial arts stage, allowing the sweat to drip naturally. He glanced at the information on his panel, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

It had been a month since he arrived in this world, and despite various attempts, he still hadn't figured out how to obtain the Power of Luck. However, the sudden appearance of the panel had been truly helpful.

It helped him understand his specialty, knowing that he had outstanding talent in body forging and excellent understanding. After a month of hard training, he had successfully advanced from the third level to the fourth level of body training. He now felt he was close to reaching the fifth level.

His bones were strong, and his tendons resembled that of a dragon. Such significant progress in just one month was largely thanks to the guidance provided by the panel, which had directed his talent.

This proved that Jiang Yuan was a genius in the entire Lin'an County.

During his month here, he observed the people of Lin'an City and noticed that most of them didn't have any innate luck on their panels. They were referred to as "whiteboards." Only those who had achieved success in spiritual practice occasionally had the blessing of white innate luck.

As for the green-level innate luck, Jiang Yuan had seen no more than five individuals with it.

On the other hand, Jiang Yuan wasn't originally from this world. A month ago, due to some accident, he suddenly arrived in this world and found himself with the same name, surname, and appearance as the person he knew. Based on his memories, he learned that the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was his father Jiang Zhenyuan's lifelong endeavor.

His father was a prominent figure in Lin'an County, renowned for his strength at the eighth level of physical training and his mastery of the Wind and Thunder Swordsmanship.

Over the years, he had even made a name for himself with the Fengleijian technique. This contributed to the continuous growth of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

As Jiang Yuan's only son, he had enjoyed a comfortable life since childhood. However, a few days ago, everything changed. Rumors spread that Jiang Zhenyuan had failed in a recent venture, resulting in significant losses. This led to unfamiliar faces appearing at the gate of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

It was clear that these people were here to exploit the situation. If the rumors were false, they would distance themselves, but if they were true, Jiang Yuan's safety would be at risk.

This world was far from safe compared to his previous life.

As Jiang Yuan pondered the situation, a commotion erupted outside. Suddenly, there was a loud boom, and the closed door of the Escort Agency exploded open. It seemed to have been attacked with a powerful weapon, causing the door bolt to shatter into splinters.

Outside the courtyard, exclamations filled the air.

"It's Lei Zhan! The second-in-command of Heifengzhai! How dare he come to An County? Does he want to die?"

As soon as the chaos began, Jiang Yuan looked up at the entrance of the **** agency.

To his surprise, the previously closed door was now wide open with a loud bang, and there was a distinct fist mark on the iron door.

Then, a massive and muscular figure towering at eight feet stepped through the doorway, resembling a ferocious beast ready to prey on anyone.

His face bore a nearly six-inch scar, resembling the wriggling body of a centipede.

"The so-called fine iron gate is nothing! It couldn't withstand my punch," Lei Zhan exclaimed with laughter.

Jiang Yuan squinted his eyes, trying to recall any memories of Lei Zhan from his past. He glanced at his information panel once again.

[Name : Lei Zhan]

[Realm: Seventh level of physical training (exchanging blood)]

[Congenital luck: As strong as a cow (white)]

[Strong as a cow : Naturally stronger than ordinary people.]

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

Lei Zhan, the second-in-command of Heifengzhai.

Rumors had it that he had achieved the seventh level of body forging, possessing divine power and near invincibility within his realm.

It was said that he once engaged in a fierce battle with a master at the eighth level of physical training for an extended period, resulting in a draw.

With such a terrifying record, he held only the second position in Heifeng Village, where his strength far surpassed that of the leader. Under their command were hundreds of bandits.

No wonder my father had to pay tribute to Heifeng Village every year while being exempted from other villages in the past.

Heifengzhai's strength was enough to dominate an entire county.

Only by paying the tribute coins on time would the surrounding county escort bureaus allow them to pass through Heifengzhai.

In the next moment, Jiang Yuan's attention was immediately drawn to Lei Zhan's right hand.

He noticed that Lei Zhan was holding an elderly man, someone who appeared to be in the twilight of his life.

Uncle Ma!

Jiang Yuan's eyes froze in shock.

Lei Zhan seemed to sense Jiang Yuan's gaze and raised his right hand, grinning. "Don't worry, I haven't killed him! The boss said harmony brings profit."

With those words, he flung the old man towards Jiang Yuan with force.

Jiang Yuan's face turned serious upon witnessing this.

He abruptly lowered his stance, his muscles bulging, tendons straining, and his back arching like a bow.

Then, in the next moment, he thrust his arms forward and caught Uncle Ma's body securely.

He swiftly turned and gently placed him on the ground.

Finally, his fingers lightly rested on Uncle Ma's neck.

Feeling the pulse still beating beneath his fingertips, Jiang Yuan let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Lei Zhan, who had been in full swing, revealed a surprised expression on his face.

"I'm at the seventh level of physical training, having achieved great success in blood training. Coupled with my inherent supernatural power, my strength surpasses others in the same realm."

Just a moment ago, this unexpected swing, even though it wasn't used with full strength, still possessed the power of at least a thousand catties.

Based on the information I gathered earlier, Jiang Zhenyuan's son was only capable of exerting three times his strength.

It's reasonable to assume that if he can't catch his own throw, he'll undoubtedly be intimidated and terrified.

Now, upon closer inspection, the information I obtained before was incorrect. This young man isn't as foolish as described; he's hiding some strength.

However, considering the current situation at the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, his strength is like a weak blade of grass in the wind, with no possibility of resistance.

If you're sensible, perhaps you can save your own life.

With this in mind, he said, "Impressive skills. You must be Jiang Yuan, Jiang Zhenyuan's son."

"That's me. What business do you have with the second-in-command of Heifengzhai coming to my house today?" Jiang Yuan asked boldly while handing a pill to Uncle Ma.

"Of course I have business!" Lei Zhan chuckled.

He raised his leg and stepped on the nearby rock, slightly bending his body, and casually rested his right arm on his thigh. "I've come to collect the debts your father owes us. He didn't pay the tribute this year, and now the interest is accumulating. We need a total of three thousand taels of silver."

At that moment, the old horse had just awakened and leisurely heard Lei Zhan's words.

Instantly, anger surged within him, and his eyes snapped open. "You're spouting nonsense! At the beginning of this year, both Da Dong and I personally gave your village master a hundred taels of silver."

Lei Zhan grinned, dug his ears, and then revealed a malicious smile.

"A hundred taels? Are you treating us like beggars? Give me three thousand taels of silver now, or you'll witness dozens of bodies from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau piling up!"

After speaking, he lightly stomped his right foot.

Boom!

The stone beneath his feet instantly exploded, sending gravel flying. A powerful surge of energy and blood rushed toward Jiang Yuan and the others.

Jiang Yuan gently placed his right hand on the old horse's shoulder, calming the agitated old horse.

"Alright! But I need one month to gather the three thousand taels of silver. In one month, I can secure the full amount."

Lei Zhan was momentarily stunned by these words.

He couldn't believe his ears; it was completely unexpected.

According to his estimation, the total assets of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau amounted to only ten thousand taels of silver.

Three thousand taels of silver would severely damage the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.

He hadn't anticipated that Jiang Zhenyuan's son would be so reasonable.

With this realization, the momentum he had built up dissipated.

Shaking his head, he held up three fingers.

"Three days. I'll give you three days only."

Jiang Yuan's tone remained calm as he calmly replied, "You must understand that we're talking about three thousand taels of silver, not three hundred. Who keeps that amount of cash readily available? It will take at least seven days for me to gather it."

"Fine! I'll give you seven days then! After seven days, I'll come personally to collect it."

Lei Zhan grinned ferociously and warned, "I hope you won't try any tricks. If you don't hand it over, you know very well the consequences that await you!"

After he finished speaking, he forcefully stomped his right foot, instantly shattering the stone brick beneath him. He then ascended into the air and gracefully landed on the wall.

After some ups and downs, they swiftly departed from the city.

Simultaneously, as Lei Zhan departed,

Outside the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, several individuals with suspicious behavior gradually left.

The audacity of the second-in-command of Heifengzhai to boldly appear in Lin'an City has raised intriguing questions based on the information disclosed here.

Furthermore, they visited the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau to request three thousand taels of silver, which added to the shock and disbelief.
