Chapter 100 I Would Like to Respect You as the Son of the Strongest Destiny!
At the registration office for out-of-towners, the staff tried his best to persuade Xu Yan and Zhou Min to reconsider.
He spoke with earnest concern, emphasizing that if the four high schoolers died outside the city, Xu Yan would bear the primary responsibility.
But Xu Yan and Zhou Min stood firm.
They insisted on leaving the city.
The staff sighed, shaking his head.
At the end of the day, his job was only to register people—he had no real authority to stop them.
Besides, he had already done his duty by warning them.
"I have registered the information of the four individuals," he said.
"The merit points they earn will be calculated into your group."
"I will repeat—I have already tried to persuade them."
"If anything happens to these four outside the city, neither I nor the Baitan City Military Region will take responsibility."
"If you have no objections, sign here—I am aware—and press your fingerprint."
"Okay," Xu Yan said.
He signed the application form without hesitation.
Zhou Min's team signed their life-and-death waivers as well, successfully joining Xu Yan's team as foreign aid.

Camp, 50th Defense Zone.
Zhou Min and the others met their new team.
After a brief round of introductions, the four high schoolers felt like their heads were about to explode.
Wu Dayong's team—average level 23.
Pang Fei's team—average level 24.
Lu Meng's team—average level 23.
Liang Qiu's team—average level 26.
Every single team was an elite squad.
Especially Liang Qiu's team—they were absolute monsters.
But the most shocking thing?
All four of these powerful teams followed Xu Yan's orders.
A level 16 farmer.
A kid younger than all of them.
A farmer.
Zhou Min and her team felt suffocated.
They glanced at themselves.
Level 12.
The gap was so big it made them want to crawl into a hole.
Even though no one said anything, Zhou Min could feel it.
They didn't belong here.
She forced a laugh and looked at Xu Yan.
"Xu Yan… maybe you should send us back?"
"I feel like we're just dead weight."
Xu Yan shook his head.
"You're not dead weight."
"But… we're only level 12."
"So? I was level 12 when I first got here."
"Don't worry. There are plenty of disaster beasts around. They're all experience points just waiting to be collected."
"Besides, Xu Ying is important to my plan."
"She needs to level up as fast as possible."
Xu Ying blinked.
"Me? Why?"
"I can't tell you yet. You'll know when the time comes."
"For now, just focus on fighting and leveling up."
"You got it?"
"...Got it."

The Next Day.
After Liang Qiu's team finished their night watch, they only slept for three hours before heading out alone again.
Meanwhile, Xu Yan led four teams to kill monsters and grind levels.
Wu Dayong's team, Pang Fei's team, and Lu Meng's team handled the high-defense, non-poisonous disaster beasts.
The fragile, high-damage, poisonous disaster beasts?
They were left to Wang Ke and Zhou Min's team.
At first, Zhou Min's team was terrified.
They were facing monsters more than 10 levels above them!
But after multiple fights, they realized—
They were completely invincible.
Their health never dropped.
Even when they were hit directly, they healed instead.
By noon, they were no longer scared.
Zhou Min raised her staff with excitement.
"Wang Ke! Let's go all out!"
"I'll show you who's stronger—lightning or fire!"
Wang Ke laughed.
"Fine!"
"Thunder Clone!"
Three identical lightning clones appeared beside her.
Lightning rained down from the sky, destroying everything in their path.
Zhou Min's jaw dropped.
"Are you kidding me!?"
"Three clones!? I haven't even unlocked my second skill yet!"
Wang Ke grinned.
"Well, I gotta deal triple damage, right?"
The two bickered, launching destructive spells in every direction.
All while disaster beast attacks rained down on them.
And they didn't dodge a single one.
To them, it was like being pelted with flower petals.
But to passing recruits…
The scene was nightmarish.
They froze, watching in horror.
"…Did I just see that correctly!?"
"They're not dodging at all!"
"They're just… standing there!?"
"And they're not losing health!?"
"…Are they wearing legendary gear!?"
"They look so young—are they high school students!?"
"My god… what kind of rich second generation are these guys!?"
"The gap between us and them is too big."
"...Stop talking. We need to run. Five level 26 disaster beasts are heading our way!"
"Fall back! Kite them!"
"If we hesitate, we die!"

Meanwhile, Xu Yan's team was racking up kills at a terrifying pace.
Merit points and disaster beast cores piled up faster than ever.
And on the other side…
Feng Wu's team was losing their minds.
Because after one afternoon of hunting…
Bai Ding had never failed once.
Every single high-level disaster beast?
Dropped a core.
Every. Single. Time.
Feng Wu's hands trembled.
"Bai Ding…"
"I would like to respect you as the Son of the Strongest Destiny."
One of his teammates nodded frantically.
"Xiao Bai… you are too amazing!"
Another stepped forward.
"From now on… I will protect Bai Ding with my life."
"If anyone wants to harm Bai Ding—they have to go through me first!"
Bai Ding: "..."
"...Okay. If you're done worshipping me, I need to go find Liang Qiu."
"She's been urging me all day."
Feng Wu's team perked up instantly.
"I'll escort you!"
"I'm coming too!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
Feng Wu?
He was still shaking.
He had never seen someone as absurdly lucky as Bai Ding.
This wasn't luck.
This was cheating.
He clenched his fists.
"This is it."
"We're gonna be rich."
From this moment on…
Feng Wu's team ignored all low-level monsters.
Only high-level ones mattered now.
The result?
Their kill rate skyrocketed.
The sheer efficiency shocked even the other top recruits.
And word spread.
Fast.
