It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Qian Jialin managed to calm down. He grabbed his opponent’s throat and attacked him relentlessly. He dislocated all of Luo’er’s joints. He would not allow his opponent to have any opportunity to counterattack.

The old man wanted to stop him but the masked man wouldn’t allow him to. He had no choice but to watch his grandson beaten into a hostage.

The old man glared at the masked man furiously. This was the person who caused all these to happen. The old man wanted to skin this person alive.

However, no matter how much he hated this man, he knew that the man was a difficult opponent. In order to appear silently in front of him and stop him from killing Qian Jialin on time, this person must have reached the domain realm.

What is his motive? Was he on his opponent’s side on was he just passing by? The old man pondered over these questions. He controlled his anger and said, “I am the supervisor of the underground auction, Hermit Miluo Duoba. May I know who you are?”

If this person was just passing by, he would stop after he revealed his identity. If this was the case, he would spare this brat. The old man didn’t want to cause complications.

Qian Jialin’s expression changed when he heard the old man calling himself Hermit.

People in the domain realm were not equal. Some were more powerful than others. Those valiant masters of the domain realm were so powerful, ordinary domain realm masters were not their match at all. They had a long list of achievements and could defeat or kill other domain masters. These powerful people would have their own title once they were recognized by the human world (government).

Hermit was the old man’s title. That meant that this normal-looking scrawny old man was a domain realm warrior.

Qian Jialin looked at the masked man with concern. Would the masked man be able to subdue this domain realm warrior?

The masked man was not affected by Miluo Duoba’s self-introduction. He replied indifferently, “I am just a nobody. You don’t have to know who I am.”

Ling Lan appeared calm but inside her mindscape, she was shouting for Little Four furiously.

“Yes, boss!” Little Four was having fun watching the battle between the ace hacker of the Yun family and the hackers of the auction. He didn’t feel guilty about pushing the blame to the Yun family. He even felt that the amount of ace hackers in this battle was too little for his liking. This battle was not as exciting as he wanted it to be. While he was happily watching the match, his boss called for him and he immediately ran back.

“What is a Hermit?” Ling Lan asked. When Miluo Duoba said that he was called Hermit, he looked so proud. This title was definitely not a random title which he gave himself. Ling Lan was a cautious person. Since she had a query, she needed to get Little Four to answer it.

Little Four told Ling Lan how this title came about. A cold gaze appeared in Ling Lan’s eyes. She knew that the situation was bad. She grabbed Little Four’s face as he was trying to run away and rubbed it furiously. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier? It is such an important thing.”

She didn’t know that domain masters were segregated into different sections. The two domain masters on Planet Kachi must be normal domain masters. Luckily, she was cautious and asked Little Four about it. If she attacked this old man the same way she fought with the other two domain masters, she would pay a huge price.

Little Four kept forgetting things. Ling Lan decided to punish him so that he wouldn’t do it again.

“I’m sorry. I’ve forgotten about it again.” Little Four cried. He didn’t dare to retaliate since he was the one in the wrong.

Miluo Duoba didn’t know the astonishment Ling Lan was feeling right now. His heart dropped when he heard what Ling Lan said. If his opponent was able to remain calm even after hearing his title, he must have known his identity from the start. This meant that his opponent was confident in his ability and knew that he could definitely defeat him. This was not good news.

There was no way this situation could end peacefully. Miluo Duoba widened his eyes and a glint flashed. A frightening sense of presence exploded out of his body. But, the masked man seemed to be expecting this. He released his grip and retreated three meters back.

Miluo Duoba sneered. He stepped forward.

“Boom!” The masked man didn’t do anything but his sense of presence exploded out too. The people behind them instantly felt their blood moving up their throat. A few weaker ones had already turned pale in the face.

Miluo Duoba and the masked man tested each other secretly without moving their body.

They were equally powerful. Miluo Duoba frowned. He felt that things would be difficult for him.

Miluo Duoba didn’t want to have a life-or-death battle with an equally powerful opponent. The longer you live, the more you realize how precious your life is. Also, his grandson, someone who entered the late-stage of Qi-Jin at the age of 28, was in his opponent’s hands. He had no other choice but to give up.

Miluo Duoba pondered for a moment before opening his mouth. “You came for these people?”

The man replied indifferently, “What do you think?”

You did! Miluo Duoba sensed the sarcasm. If he didn’t come for them, why would he bullshit with him?

Miluo Duoba felt the man was looking at him sarcastically. He must be mocking him for asking such an obvious question. Miluo Duoba almost vomited blood in anger.

“Since that is the case, why don’t you put Luo’er down and I will bring you all out of this place.” Miluo Duoba gritted his teeth. He would bear anything for his grandson.

“Do you think that I am stupid?” The man asked him back.

Miluo Duoba was stunned. Before he could reply, the man continued, “If I give up my hostage, will you really take us out?” He reached out and snatched Luo’er over from Qian Jialin.

Qian Jialin felt his heart pounding furiously. For some reason, he felt that the masked man was on his side. Hence, even though the hostage was taken away, he was neither angry nor frightened. He was just shocked by how quickly the masked man acted.

The masked man was more vicious than Qian Jialin. The fair hand grabbed Luo’er’s throat effortlessly. However, Luo’er’s eyes started popping out after a while and his face turned purple. Gagging sounds came out of his mouth. Since his joints were broken, he couldn’t move his body. But, his body was squirming uncontrollably like a little worm.

“Stop it!” Miluo Duoba shouted in anger.

The masked man relaxed his hand. Luo’er’s felt slightly better.

“The initiative is not on your side now. It is on mine,” The masked man calmly said.

Miluo Duoba lost his composure. From his opponent’s tone, strength, and sense of presence, he realized that he was a calm person who was not affected by threats. After so many years, he saw these traits on three people before. Those three people were people who he respected. Was this person someone like them too?

The longer he stayed in the domain realm, the clearer he knew that not everyone in the domain level were equal. There were weak domain masters too. These domain masters were just slightly stronger than those Qi-Jin masters.

How powerful you were depended on how well you understood the domain realm. The deeper your understanding was, the more powerful you were. In actual fact, there were domain masters who could kill another domain master within a split of a second. These formidable warriors had special titles assigned to them.

Those three people that he respected were the kings of the domain realm.

Miluo Duoba was on his guard. He gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, I will send you all out, However, once you all reached the main gate, you must release Luo’er.”

The masked man nodded. He grabbed Luo’er and turned around. Qian Jialin and his team didn’t hesitate. One held onto the princess while another held the servant and they quickly followed the masked man.

Miluo Duoba sighed. He raised his hand and waved it. The armed personnel moved back and Miluo Duoba disappeared from the tunnel too.

Along the way, they met three other people. Two of them were wearing a mask while one was in a black hood. Qian Jialin noticed the similar pattern on the masks so he understood that these were his allies.

The three people saw them coming out and let them passed silently. Then, they walked behind them and helped them to cover their backs. Qian Jialin looked at the man in the hood. He looked familiar…

At B7, Qi Long and Zhao Jun followed the map Ling Lan gave them and found a hidden staircase. They didn’t expect the staircase to be scaling ladder instead of the normal stairs.

It was located within a three meters wide round tunnel. On the sitemap, it was a sewer pipe. If their boss didn’t specifically identify it as a staircase, they would never have found it. The organizers of the auction really placed a lot of effort into concealing this auction venue.

Qi Long and Zhao Jun didn’t felt it was strange that their boss knew this secret. Their boss had shown them how impressive of a hacker he was. To them, there was nothing he didn’t know. It was normal for him to know this passage.

They climbed up the ladder and came to B7.

The moment they reached B7, they felt a huge vibration.

The location of the scaling ladder was quite near the place where Mu Youyun’s team was at. They exchanged glances with one another and immediately rushed towards the source of the vibration.

Mu Youyun used the shield to block the entrance of the room. He calculated how long the shield could last while thinking of a way to escape. At that moment, he heard the sound of walls crumbling. He thought about something and immediately shouted, “Be careful of the walls.”

Mu Youyun’s team comprised of experienced members. They jumped up the moment they heard Mu Youyun’s voice.

“Boom! Boom!” Two loud explosions occurred simultaneously. The walls at their side collapsed and five figures from each side flew in.

Mu Youyun’s team members started attacking without waiting for his command. However, they only had six people. There were 10 opponents in total but Mu Youyun needed to be at the door to hold onto the shield. That meant that each of them needed to take on two opponents.

“Boom!” One of the team members got smashed into the wall the moment his opponent struck. He bounced off it and fell to the ground. He vomited blood. He couldn’t get up from the ground anymore.

Mu Youyun’s team members were all Qi-Jin masters but one of them just advanced to Qi-Jin recently. Hence, he was not able to withstand the attack from two late-stage Qi-Jin masters.

The two Qi-Jin masters saw what happened and continued attacking. They received orders to kill every one of their opponents.

“Little Mouse!” The other team members screamed with bloodshot eyes. They had been in the same team for more than 10 years. Even though everyone’s potential was different, they never disliked each other. They persevered through all the hard times together and made the Whirlwind Battle Team into a four-star battle team. Hence, whenever they see their team members in danger, they would be anxious and in rage. If their hands were free, they would definitely rush over and help him.

Just as the two fists were about to hit the vital spot of the Little Mouse, the two Qi-Jin masters suddenly flew out. One of them smashed into the wall while the other was thrown through the hole at the side of the room and landed in another room.

Mu Youyun held Little Mouse up and arrived at the door in a blink of an eye. He blocked the door with the shield once again and passed the shield device to Little Mouse. “Block the door for me.”

“Yes, captain!” Little Mouse was bleeding from his mouth but he still replied firmly. He was heavily injured but he told himself that if their opponents wanted to come in, they would have to step over his dead body first. He knew that he might be lacking in strength so he grabbed the shield tightly and placed it against his waist. He used his entire body weight to resist against the vibrations of the shield.

Mu Youyun focused on his opponents after he finished giving his order. Since he gave his team member the task, he would trust his team member. He raised his fist and attacked the person who was getting up from the ground.

Mu Youyun knew that he had to finish off this opponent first. If not, his other team members would end up like Little Mouse too. There was no way they could win against two opponents with the same physical skills level as them.
