"Kang Xiang, I swear I'll kill you!" Ye Fan growled as he saw Kang Xiang approaching him.
Kang Xiang not only ignored his words but looked at him playfully.
This so-called Heaven's favored son was nothing more than a toy in Kang Xiang's eyes, not even worth wasting his time on.
Though, the Heavenly Giant physique was a different matter altogether. Such a physique... he couldn't afford to let this opportunity slip by.
"Don't you think you're barking too much? I don't like too much noise," Kang Xiang said as he stomped his foot on Ye Fan's stomach.
Normally, such a move wouldn't cause more than internal injuries, but with the use of aura, it was a different story.
Kang Xiang used a bit of his power and shattered Ye Fan's dantian.
[Ding... The host harvested 1,000 Luck Points from Ye Fan's fortune.]
[Ye Fan's fortune value decreased by 1,000 points.]
Although Kang Xiang couldn't kill him for now, he could cripple him, couldn't he?
"Aghhh, you bastard! I'll kill you! Aghhh!" Ye Fan's scream of pain echoed.
With Kang Xiang's move, not only was Ye Fan's dantian shattered, but his intestines were also torn.
"Aghhh, it hurts! Savage bastard, I'll kill you with my own hands!" Ye Fan's eyes turned red with pain.
At that moment, his dantian was destroyed. He was crippled! He could no longer cultivate.
He stared at Kang Xiang with murderous intent, but the latter paid him no attention and left the hall.
"Terrifying!"
"I never expected that noble from the imperial capital to be so ruthless and decisive!"
"Right? In this era, death is better than being crippled, especially for this boy who has made so many enemies."
Zhao Ning'an struggled to resist her instinct to help Ye Fan.
The Zhao Patriarch sighed in relief and then ordered for Ye Fan to be thrown out of the house. This clown no longer had a place in his family.
Zhao Wei wanted to follow his young master, but the Zhao Patriarch stopped him, saying,
"There are matters we need to discuss."

Meanwhile, in one of the luxurious rooms of the Zhao family's villa, Kang Xiang sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Wang Ye."
The space warped, and a rift opened. An old man stepped out of the rift and knelt before Kang Xiang.
"I want you to investigate Ye Fan, and I also need a list of all the events happening in this city over the next few days."
"Understood, Young Master."
"Oh, and while you're at it, investigate the Zhao family and the other top families in this city as well. You may go."
Suddenly, a shadow appeared and engulfed the old man.
"Open my panel," Kang Xiang commanded.

"Even now, my luck value still shows as ???," Kang Xiang frowned. Since his birth in this world, the Luck Value section had always been marked with ???.
Even now, after gaining 1,000 Luck Points, the ??? remained. Unfortunately, the system also refused to answer his questions about it.
Speaking of his birth, Kang Xiang was not originally from this world. He was from another world, specifically a planet called Earth.
Eighteen years ago, he was born into this world in the Kang family, one of the most powerful families in this country, and even the entire world.
More importantly, his talents were anything but ordinary. He possessed the number one physique of the heavens, the Heavenly Authority Physique, and even the Primordial Dragon Bloodline.
Dragons were mythical beings that had been extinct for thousands of years, yet he possessed their bloodline.
The reason for his presence in such a small city could be traced back to a month ago, when he met Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei, along with other top students from his school, had come to the imperial capital on a field trip. Logically, there was no way someone like Zhao Wei would have had the chance to meet Kang Xiang.
However, Kang Xiang had, by chance, seen Zhao Wei's fortune value. The boy's fortune value was negative—something Kang Xiang had never seen before.
Intrigued, he conducted some investigations and decided to form a friendship with him.
The bait he threw out succeeded, and his target was hooked. Zhao Wei's father called him to discuss a marriage agreement.
Naturally, Zhao Wei was furious and, without hesitation, decided to return to his hometown. Kang Xiang followed him to try his luck.
And it worked—he finally found his first toy.
"Now, what should I do about Zhao Ning'an?" A glint of light flashed in his eyes. That girl wasn't particularly valuable, and he had no interest in her.
In truth, even if he wanted to, marrying her was probably impossible, at least for now.
Those two girls—his sister and his real fiancée—wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"I'd better not rush. There will be plenty of opportunities," Kang Xiang murmured as he closed his eyes and focused on cultivating.

Meanwhile, in another room, the Zhao Patriarch and his two children were in the middle of a heated discussion.
"Father, are you an idiot? How dare you arrange for my sister to be engaged to the young master!" Zhao Wei shouted angrily at his father.
"What else could I do? Let my precious daughter marry a thug?" Zhao Qi retorted in the same tone.
"Couldn't you have just torn up that damn agreement? Did you really have to involve His Majesty's name?"
"The agreement is an official one with the imperial seal. Tearing it up would have been useless. The only way was for your grandfather to agree to tear it up."
"But no matter how much I talked to that old man, he wouldn't agree!"
"Father, father, father," Zhao Wei sighed deeply.
"Do you know what you've done? Couldn't you have at least told us beforehand? Couldn't you have talked to him and gotten his permission?"
Neither Zhao Wei nor Kang Xiang had any knowledge of the engagement beforehand. The Zhao Patriarch had invited all the wealthy families in the city and suddenly announced his daughter's engagement to a noble from the imperial capital.
"Father, what you've done could lead to our doom... No, it could mean the end of this entire city," Zhao Wei said, struggling to hold back his tears.
"It's not that bad, is it?" Zhao Ning'an genuinely couldn't understand why her brother was so terrified.
Sure, she was very angry. Her father was practically selling her... but this wasn't new. She had always known that she would eventually marry someone her father chose.
So besides anger, she really couldn't do much else.
"Ning'an is right. It can't be that bad, can it? Even if he is one of the younger generation elites from the capital, he still has to follow the royal family's laws.
"Besides, I'm sure he's satisfied. Who wouldn't want such a beauty like my daughter? He should even thank the heavens for this." The Zhao Patriarch had dared to make such a move for two reasons.
First, no matter how powerful the boy was, he still had to follow the royal family's laws.
Second, his daughter's beauty. He was confident that no one could resist her charm.
"Father, you really are a fool..."
