If Xu Xi wished, he could hide his strength for a lifetime.
He could remain an extremely low-profile individual.
But after careful consideration, he abandoned this idea.
It wasn’t the impulsiveness of youth, flaunting his power the moment he gained it. Rather, Xu Xi's strength was growing too rapidly, with each simulation bringing a new transformation.
Ascension?
Godhood?
Transcendence?
Even Xu Xi himself didn’t know what the limits of his simulations could reach.
In such a situation, concealing his true combat power was rather meaningless and could even hinder further improvement.
"In this ever-changing world, without strength, there is no safety."
After finishing his steamed buns and tofu pudding,
Xu Xi slowly stood up, his gaze settling on the bustling street in the distance.
The debate over whether tofu pudding should be sweet or salty echoed in his ears.
In the past, Xu Xi would have enjoyed such a life, content with being ordinary and low-key, thinking that a lifetime of peace wasn’t so bad.
But after experiencing the calamity of the supernatural,
and being confined to a wheelchair for five years,
Xu Xi had come to understand that without strength, a peaceful life was like a fragile mirror, easily shattered.
Rather than trying to live a quiet life, it was better to strive to improve his strength, becoming so powerful that no one could disturb him.
Of course,
what truly gave Xu Xi the confidence to be open with the authorities
was the "soft power" from his younger sister.
The Eternal Tear, a bug-like artifact that multiplied his attributes tenfold, and a defense strong enough to withstand the attacks of an Immortal Emperor.
With such a divine artifact in his possession, Xu Xi truly saw no reason to remain low-key. Even if the Earth were to explode, he would remain unharmed.
Invincibility.
Need he say more?
"Mo Li, your brother’s life now depends on you."
Xu Xi glanced down at the Eternal Tear on his wrist, feeling an infinite sense of contentment. Eating "soft rice" was truly a wonderful thing.
The midday sun shone brightly and quietly,
reflecting off the Eternal Tear.
The flickering, hazy crimson light seemed to radiate a silent joy and response.
…………
Soon, the strength Xu Xi had voluntarily revealed was swiftly reported to the headquarters of the Supernatural United Bureau in the capital through Zhang Yaoguo.
This place gathered the strongest supernatural beings in China,
as well as the most abundant supernatural resources.
Moreover, countless visitors who had arrived during the world's fusion were recruited into the Supernatural United Bureau, exchanging their formidable strength for high treatment and benefits.
In this regard, the Supernatural United Bureau was extremely generous, attracting many top-tier experts.
And today,
the news about Xu Xi had piqued the interest of one of these powerful beings.
"Oh?"
"A Sanctuary Magus?"
"Huh, interesting. The task of testing his strength shall fall upon the great me."
In a vast and awe-inspiring building, piles of glittering gold coins and multicolored gemstones were scattered everywhere. Under the high-angle spotlights, the colors of gold, silver, and jewels intertwined, creating an unparalleled spectacle.
It was so dazzling it was hard to look at directly.
The next second, the mountains of gold and silver collapsed with a crash.
Amid the clattering sound of falling metal, a colossal figure slowly rose from the depths. Its limbs were thick and powerful, its wings half-spread, revealing a deep crimson and menacing mythical form.
With each breath, scorching flames spewed forth, melting the gold coins on the ground into liquid.
"I am the great Sanctuary Dragon!"
"The Hell's Wing that conquers worlds!"
"Rex Santos Astarte Nesario Akenologia Kakarogita!"
"Hahaha, since leaving my original world, it has been a long time since I’ve encountered a mage strong enough to be called a Sanctuary Magus."
"I hope this self-proclaimed Sanctuary Magus, this ant, can bring me some amusement."
"Kekeke."
"Foolish mortals, feel the wrath of the Red Dragon!!"
The dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth.
The menacing Red Dragon, Rex Santos, took on the task of testing Xu Xi's strength. With a flap of its massive wings, it shot toward Yanshan City at an unimaginable speed.
As it flew,
the Red Dragon faintly felt that something was off. The name Xu Xi seemed familiar, as if it had heard it somewhere before.
But it no longer mattered!
Feeling the dent in its head, the fire in the Red Dragon's eyes turned into a tangible, burning rage, leaving a deep red trail across the sky.
The great Red Dragon, Rex Santos of the Sanctuary level, had suffered countless humiliations in its weaker days.
It had trained diligently for countless years,
only to find that the enemies it sought to take revenge on had long disappeared.
This anger, this resentment, this humiliation, was deeply etched into Rex Santos's heart.
It resolved to vent this fury on other human Sanctuary Magi.
"Kekeke!"
"Pitiful human, if you must blame someone, blame your ancestors!"
The azure sky was dyed with flames,
turning into a deep, ominous red.
The Red Dragon's speed was astonishing. With the boost from its Fire Domain, it even surpassed the lightning in the sky, tearing through the air as the clouds were left far behind. Its target was Yanshan City.
But suddenly,
Rex Santos's dragon eyes widened, and it forcibly halted its flight.
The inertia from its high-speed movement caused it to plummet from the sky, crashing heavily onto a desolate mountain. It tumbled over a dozen times before finally coming to a stop.
The once-gleaming dragon scales, which could have served as mirrors,
were now covered in dust,
leaving it looking utterly disheveled.
"W-what just happened?"
The Red Dragon's heart was pounding, as if warning it of something. Its body was doing everything it could to prevent it from continuing its flight.
Could it be that there was danger ahead?
Ridiculous!
The pride of the dragon race made Rex Santos narrow its eyes. "It seems this so-called Sanctuary Magus, Xu Xi, is no weakling."
"Hmph, all the better. Bullying the weak would not showcase my greatness."
A fierce battle, overwhelming force, and the domination of a strong foe!
Only in this way could the great Red Dragon wash away the humiliation of its past.
Rex Santos forcibly suppressed the trembling of its dragon body and once again flapped its wings, heading toward Yanshan City.
It knew that it was now employed by the human kingdom of this world, holding titles like "guest advisor" or "external member," so it wouldn’t disturb ordinary humans.
As its wings flapped, it carefully cast Silent Wind Magic,
along with Light Concealment to hide its massive dragon form.
The enormous Red Dragon stealthily entered the skies above Yanshan City, searching for traces of the so-called Sanctuary Magus.
"Found it!"
"Such immense magical power, and a deep, surging spiritual energy that even concealment can't fully mask."
"No mistake, this is a Sanctuary Magus!"
The Red Dragon grinned, revealing its massive, interlocking fangs.
It folded its wings and dove, charging toward the locked location with a swift, deadly strike.
It prepared to unleash the Red Dragon's wrath with a single, devastating blow.
However, halfway through its dive, the Red Dragon's expression froze. The Sanctuary Magus slowly turned around, revealing a face that struck fear into the heart of any dragon.
"Dragon Speaker!?"
