This brother is mine.

The Nine Seats of Dragon Kingdom are widely debated because in order to challenge and obtain a seat, one must be officially recognized by the authorities. Those who hold a Level 2 superpower certificate from the Superpower Association are excluded. Not to mention the rumors about the Shadow Nine Seats. However, this does not diminish the love of the people for them. After all, reality is not about nurturing someone based solely on their power level. On one side, you have the heroes who risk their lives to protect the country, and on the other side, there are those who are of unknown origin. It's obvious whom the people want to win if a conflict were to arise between the two sides.

So, the biggest controversy online is not whether the Nine Seats are truly the strongest, but rather, who among these nine individuals is the strongest. While the Nine Seats haven't fought each other, their fans have arranged offline confrontations multiple times.

[Qi Yuan: They gather for meetings at least a few times a year.]

[Shi Jianwen: It's different this time. Even the Superpower Association is participating. I suspect the authorities are planning something big.]

[Shi Jianwen: Yuan ge, tell me quietly, does your Qi Family have any inside information? I promise I won't tell anyone else.]

Qi Yuan silently closed the chat window.

So, they've been daydreaming about me being a rich second-generation? Is that right?

Where did this influential Qi Family come from?

And inside information...

He didn't often bring friends home, as he was worried that once a friend set foot in his house, the rumor of his family being a prestigious one would be cleared up only for them to start imagining that his mother was a mistress kept outside, while he and his younger brother were the illegitimate children of a wealthy family.

Then, the rumor of the prestigious Qi Family would spread like wildfire.

This is too ridiculous.

He had already indulged in gossip, watched videos, and Qi Yuan put down his phone contentedly and entered dreamland.

On a weekend morning,

Qi Yuan, half-awake and half-asleep, was awakened by his internal clock, sensing that it was time to get up. He struggled for a while, got up, and glanced at his phone. There were still a few minutes before the alarm would go off, so he turned it off in advance.

After freshening up, Qi Yuan yawned and walked toward the living room. The TV in the living room was on, playing the morning news, but there was no one in front of the TV.

Qi Yuan's mother was in the kitchen making breakfast. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and smiled, "So early?"

"I have something to do today."

"In that case, finish your meal and set off early."

She brought out a steaming hot breakfast and sat down in a chair.

Qi Yuan reached out and picked up a meat bun, took a bite, chewed twice, and then took a small sip of the steaming soy milk next to him.

Due to personal preference, he couldn't eat food that was too hot. Usually, by the time others finished their porridge, he was still blowing on his porridge to cool it down.

"A few days ago, when I was browsing Nabo in the morning, I happened to see you. My son is quite handsome, and all the comments from the young girls were praising you."

The smile lines around Qi Yuan's mother's eyes appeared along with her smile. She rested her left hand on her face and used her right hand to pick up a piece of the meat bun, which she had divided into several small pieces.

"Cough... cough..."

Suddenly, his mother let out a loud sneeze, and Qi Yuan's heart almost stopped. It had been several days already, and he thought he wouldn't be found out.

"Mom, so that's why you agreed to let me go to the City of Shanghai?"

"Otherwise?" Qi's mother looked at him with confusion. "What if you dream of having superpowers and never wake up? As a mother, I would be a complete failure if I didn't ask you anything and let you be. "

"Just say what if I daydream."

Qi Yuan rolled his eyes, feeling exasperated.

And this is something only a little brother would do, right?!

Qi's mother paused with her chopsticks halfway to her mouth and pondered for a moment. "If you mistakenly believe that it's not just daydreaming, would it hurt you if I tell you the truth?"

"It's no different from telling me directly."

"Is that so? I'll phrase it differently next time. Little Ao didn't notice it before, so I thought it was fine to say it like that."

After finishing breakfast, Qi Yuan changed into a combat outfit and put on black combat goggles. He headed out.

He had no intention of buying long swords or big knives. He only prepared a combat knife, the same model used by the patrol team, as a survival tool for outdoor activities.

The reason was simple: he hadn't systematically learned any combat techniques.

If he held a sword, he would have to go forward and swing it a few times. But if he didn't hold anything and used his light-based superpower for long-range attacks, it would look more reasonable.

Testing his strength wasn't about seeking death; it was about avoiding risky actions as much as possible to go further.

The meeting point this time was in the hills behind the outskirts of the city. It was not far from the city's defense line, and it was a convenient location for low-level superpower practitioners to train.

Qi Yuan took the subway to the last station and then there was a special bus for transportation.

After getting off the crowded bus, Qi Yuan arrived at a certain entrance and found the companions waiting under a tree, as indicated in the group message.

The hills in the outskirts of the city used to be a high school, with a considerable area.

After decades of wind and rain, it had become dilapidated and unrecognizable.

Qi Yuan didn't expect that both of his companions would be girls who seemed to know each other.

"Da Dao Tang? Yu Luo Fen Fen?"

Qi Yuan pronounced their online names and confirmed that he had found the right people.

"It's us. Are you Tu Yuan?"

A short girl with a big knife on her back and her hair tied up in twin buns nodded vigorously, answering Qi Yuan's question.

Standing beside the round-faced girl, a tall girl with all her hair pinned up with a wooden hairpin also nodded gently.

"Yes, it's me. I'm a newly awakened beginner, so if I do anything wrong, you can tell me directly."

Wearing goggles, Qi Yuan wasn't worried that the two girls in front of him had seen the videos.

Even with half of his face missing, they could still recognize him. He considered them true fans.

"No problem. I come here every few weeks to test my progress, so I'm familiar with this place."

Da Dao Tang gave a thumbs-up, taking charge of the situation.

It was clear that Da Dao Tang was the leader, and Yu Luo Fen Fen mostly listened attentively, occasionally pursing her lips.

After the three of them finished exchanging greetings, they headed towards the entrance.

"I'm already familiar with the guy at this entrance. We can go in directly."

Qi Yuan walked in the middle, slightly ahead, while Da Dao Tang and Yu Luo Fen Fen followed behind.

The power of telepathy not only taught him how to bargain when buying groceries but also made him pay attention to certain details of human interaction.

When a woman notices an unfamiliar man following behind her, she usually feels uneasy and becomes more alert.

He looked down at Da Dao Tang and smoothly followed the direction she pointed, taking natural and graceful steps forward.

These two girls were probably the kind who would even hold hands when going to the restroom together. He was squeezed in the middle, with no place to set foot. If he transformed into a sheet of paper, he would probably be carried forward between them without touching the ground.

The men around, who were unaware of the truth, either wore boxing gloves or carried weapons such as knives, swords, and long spears, and they all cast envious glances at Qi Yuan.

He embraced a lovely loli on the left and a gentle girl-next-door on the right.

Not only did he not appease the girls, but when they took the initiative to get close, he even pushed them away.

Damn, this guy...

I've made up my mind!

Brother, I don't want anything else. I just want Big Brother to teach me a couple of moves.
