Xue Jing thought this person was quite weird, but still interesting, so he asked in return:

"Coke, do you drink Coca-Cola or Pepsi?"

Li Ge didn\'t hesitate and said, "I don\'t give a fuck."

Xue Jing laughed and immediately shook hands with him.

"I don\'t give a fuck either."

The two built a wonderful friendship with just two bizarre exchanges.

"What a fateful tie it is, sharing the same class and desk since middle school wasn\'t enough, we ended up in the same high school and again in the same class, and later, we both entered the Elite Class."

Li Ge clicked his tongue.

"Damn, always hanging out with you, kid, I don\'t even know how many romantic chances I\'ve missed. All the girls were charmed away by you alone."

"The most infuriating part is, you don\'t even want them."

As Li Ge looked at Xue Jing\'s increasingly exaggerated face, he instantly felt annoyed.

If he had that face, he\'d walk around without wearing clothes.

Such a waste.

"Hm? How have things been with your girlfriend recently?"

Xue Jing asked.

"Haven\'t seen her for quite a while, I\'ve got to focus on studying for Star University; I don\'t want to lag too far behind you..."

As they chatted casually, time slowly passed by.

When the food was all served, a group of students pretended their drinks were wine, like adults, and raised toast after toast to each other.

The meal was quite enjoyable, and it was almost ten-thirty by the time everyone started leaving.

Finally, Xue Jing and Li Ge left the restaurant, chatted for a long time on the street, reminiscing about many past events, and then went their separate ways home.

After Xue Jing reached home, he took a bath, practiced aiming at the dartboard for a while, then went to bed hugging Miao Miao.

A peaceful night.

...

The next day at noon, in the mountains behind the North City District.

Xue Jing swung his Crouching Rabbit Sword, wrapped in Shadow Flame and turned pitch-black, practicing various basic sword skills.

From time to time, a wisp of Dark Flame would flare up on the black blade.

"This method of turning Shadow Flame into a \'coating\' demands a high level of control precision."

"I can\'t yet maintain the \'coating\' shape one hundred percent for an extended time; I need more practice."

Xue Jing\'s eyes flickered as he turned the ignited wisp of Dark Flame back into a black coating, thinking to himself.

After a while, his phone vibrated and rang from his pocket.

Xue Jing stopped practicing his sword skills, dispersed the Shadow Flame coating, twirled a flourish with his sword, and sheathed the Crouching Rabbit Sword.

He took out his phone to check it; the caller ID displayed \'Captain Void Blade.\' Without hesitation, Xue Jing answered the call.

"Hello?"

"The item has arrived; where are you?"

The typically direct voice of Captain Void Blade came through the speaker.

Xue Jing\'s spirit perked up.

The moment at Hundred Feet Pole\'s Top has come!

"I\'m in the mountains behind the North City District; I\'ll send you my location."

...

In South City, within a temporary base in an abandoned building area.

Captain Void Blade stood on a helipad marked with a large \'H,\' hung up her phone, opened WeChat, and checked the location sent by Xue Jing.

Beside her stood a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a navy blue Tactical Suit, wearing a talisman-like paper charm on his left ear.

"What a big deal, we have to deliver it to him?"

The young man snorted, opening his mouth as if he found it funny.

Turning to look at him, Captain Void Blade didn\'t answer his question but calmly countered:

"Why are you personally delivering the item, Ning, the Troublemaker from Cease-Blades?"

The young man frowned, dissatisfied, "Your people from White Crow really lack manners, don\'t call me Ning. I\'ve reached this stage all by myself; it has nothing to do with my family!"

Then changing the subject, "As for why..."

He was holding a plain-looking, fist-sized green bamboo segment.

"I\'ve been using this... don\'t get me wrong, this was a reward I got for my contribution to the \'Troublemaker\' operation, unrelated to my family."

Captain Void Blade nodded, his expression unchanging, simply saying, "So, why is it you delivering this?"

"Didn\'t I say I was fucking using it? Suddenly someone cuts in line, insisting they get to use it first."

Ning\'s gaze narrowed slightly.

"How can this young master tolerate such a thing? Naturally, I had to see for myself who has the audacity to cut in line ahead of me," he said.

After pausing, he added, "Don\'t get me wrong. Although I refer to myself as \'this young master,\' it\'s just a personal verbal tic that has nothing to do with my family."

Captain Void Blade spoke softly, "Seeing for yourself is, of course, possible, but I must ask Ning not to cause any unnecessary trouble. That young man named Xue Jing is backed by a very powerful supporter."

Upon hearing this, Ning burst into laughter.

"A backer? How formidable can they be? More formidable than my family?"

He quickly followed up by saying, "Of course, don\'t misunderstand, I was just making a comparison. I\'ve always relied on myself, not on my family."

Captain Void Blade\'s expression remained unchanged as he replied,

"I\'m afraid they\'re indeed a bit bigger than your family, Ning."

"Don\'t call me Ning, I\'ve said I rely on myself, on myself!" Ning replied in dissatisfaction.

"So, who is his supporter?"

...

About half an hour later.

"Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud——"

Xue Jing sat cross-legged on the grass, eyes closed, concentrating, when he heard the noise of a helicopter rotor cutting through the air in the distance, so he opened his eyes and looked up.

A black helicopter was gradually approaching his position from the horizon.

He stood up and waited in place.

Before long, the helicopter was close, slowly descending.

The grass was whipped into waving like waves by the rotor\'s draft, and Xue Jing put his hand on his forehead to block the assaulting wind from his eyes.

The cabin door opened, and Captain Void Blade, clad in a tight black tactical suit that revealed her athletic, panther-like figure, jumped down from the helicopter.

Following her was a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Xue Jing\'s gaze lingered for a moment on the green bamboo segment in the man\'s hand, then shifted to the approaching Captain Void Blade.

"Captain Void Blade, it\'s been a few days since we last met," Xue Jing said as he nodded and shook hands with her.

Captain Void Blade also nodded, her tone calm, "You accepting this commission really helped me out a lot."

Then, she turned her head to look at the young man beside her and began to speak,

"This is..."

Before she could finish, the man interrupted,

"My name is Ning Yuantai."

Xue Jing looked somewhat puzzled, but still nodded to him and said,

"Hello, my name is Xue Jing."

Ning Yuantai waved his hand.

"Let\'s skip the nonsense. I\'m here specifically to pass \'Hundred Feet Pole\'s Top\' to you," he said.

"This thing was originally in my use, but suddenly you were arranged to cut in line. Do you understand my frustration?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing glanced at Captain Void Blade and received a helpless shrug from her.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don\'t understand... So what do you want to do?"

Ning Yuantai twisted his neck, staring at Xue Jing intensely, and declared, "I know you have a powerful backer, but you must understand that one must rely on oneself, just like me. I didn\'t use my family\'s influence, achieved great things on my own, and earned the reward of \'Hundred Feet Pole\'s Top\'!"

Xue Jing cocked his head, confused, "What are you trying to say?"

Ning Yuantai thumped his chest, the sound resonating loudly.

"Come on, beat me and take \'Hundred Feet Pole\'s Top\' by yourself, prove yourself—"

Before Ning Yuantai could finish, a fist as white as jade was already inches from his face.

His pupils constricted; in his dazed state, he saw a pair of silver-white eyes.

Indifferent, disdainful, as if nothing in the world mattered, reigning supreme above all—the Eyes of God.

"Boom!!"

A thunderous explosion, and a figure spiraled backward like a fan, stirring up windborne grass waves, gouging twisted furrows in the ground, and then, with a thud, crashed into the helicopter, embedding itself into the body of the aircraft.

Xue Jing withdrew his fist, catching the green bamboo segment falling from the sky, his silver eyes unemotional as he looked towards Ning Yuantai, who was now lodged in the helicopter.

"I\'ve taken it, now what?"

...
