Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Tens of millions in assets might not amount to much in Yunmeng City, but in Shanlong City, it qualified one to be a local big shot.

Zhang Qing drove a car worth about six hundred thousand and brought Su Alkaid to a sixteen-story building.

The building consisted of four blocks, forming a perfect square.

The building itself might not have had any distinctive style, but its volume was truly massive.

The floor area was no less than a hundred thousand square meters.

"We're here,"

Zhang Qing said with a smile, "Yulong International City, the most famous den of iniquity in Shanlong, including the opposite Mingguang City. Countless tourists and international friends come here to entertain themselves every year, and nearly twenty percent of Shanlong City's tax revenue relies on it."

As he parked the car, he continued, "Master Lei became a shareholder of Yulong International City not long ago. On normal days, besides practicing martial arts at his estate, he spends most of his time here."

Su Alkaid nodded but did not speak; instead, he began to sense the individuals around him with abnormal vigor through his secret technique.

Soon, he arrived at a conclusion.

"One piece of good news and one bad news,"

he calmed the vigorous flow of energy within him.

"No, to be precise, it's two pieces of good news."

One piece of good news was, as he expected, Lei Ao's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds – indeed, a Demon had possessed him.

The other piece of good news was that there were more than one possessed by Demons in his estate.

Three red dots, in total.

This...

was a nest of Demons.

"As Master Lei made a name for himself as the top in Shanlong, it's become increasingly difficult for us to see him in person. However, with Young Master Su's status, if you express a desire to learn martial arts from him, Master Lei would definitely be willing to teach you,"

Zhang Qing explained with a smile.

"No rush,"

Su Alkaid said, "Since it is a visit, we should come with sincerity. Now is Master Lei's working hours,. Let's wait until he is off work to meet him."

His secret technique did not provide a full perception.

He could only know the target's location.

With the building having sixteen floors and three red dots, he could not decipher which one was Lei Ao.

Therefore...

Stick to the original plan.

One by one.

"Young Master Su truly respects the virtuous and talented,"

Zhang Qing sincerely remarked, "So what does Young Master Su wish to do next? Although Shanlong City cannot compare to the capital of Tian Nan, Yulong International has many entertaining activities. After all… some things that Dayu Country strictly prohibits are not so strictly banned in Shanlong City, which is situated on the border. Almost anything you want, desire to eat, or wish to play with can be found here."

After saying this, he seemed to think of something, "Young Master Su is fond of martial arts; Yulong International has a boxing ring. Shall we go and have a look?"

"Yes."

Su Alkaid nodded.

Compared to Daxia before his transmigration, or Dayu or, in fact, the entire world, because of the existence of "non-humans" like Martial Saints, the atmosphere of Martial Path was much denser.

Especially the global martial arts events, a single round could rake in billions for the winners.

The appearance fees for world champions in commercial activities were also calculated in billions.

In this scenario, local martial arts competitions were naturally held more frequently than in Daxia.

Boxing rings and martial arts arenas were standard features of top commercial centers.

Unfortunately...

Though the facilities were high-end, the competitors' strengths were not necessarily commendable.

Just as Ye Yuhe had described, achieving martial master status could garner a decent income in city or even provincial competitions.

The competitors at Yulong International were also at this level.

With a level-one certificate, one could enter the contest with fees ranging from one thousand to tens of thousands.

Only during major events would martial masters appear.

After watching for a while, Su Alkaid found it uninteresting.

Plus, the affairs he had upcoming clearly were not convenient for spectators, so he had Zhang Qing leave.

...

After parting with Su Alkaid, the young man who had accompanied Zhang Qing couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhang, although the Zhang family isn't a top power in Shanlong City, it still holds considerable status. You stick with him, entertaining him and covering all his expenses, yet he doesn't show you any appreciation. Who exactly is this Young Master Su?"

"Who is he?"

Zhang Qing did not feel slighted at all; on the contrary, he thought Su Alkaid's attitude was normal.

Hearing his friend inquire, he even puffed up his chest a bit, "Didn't I just say? This Young Master Su comes from the capital of Tian Nan. Now, who could he be?"

"Capital of Tian Nan?"

The young man was slightly startled, then quickly associated it with something, his eyes widening, "He isn't from that Su Family who spans industries like electronics, heavy industry, finance, chemistry, and others, and established the Bu Zhou Group, is he?"

"Who else?"

Zhang Qing said.

"Hiss!"

The young man instantly gasped in a cold breath.

Bu Zhou Group!

The absolute top-tier corporate force within Tian Nan Territory!

Looking across Tian Nan, it was second only to those Noble Families.

The reason it was slightly inferior to those Noble Family forces completely stemmed from the fact that Noble Families wielded power while corporations wielded money, with different roles.

And in Dayu Country, power trumped money.

In some federal countries where capital ruled, the Su Family's status would definitely not be inferior to those Noble Families.

Moreover...

The Su Family's Bu Zhou Group was the top echelon in Tian Nan, the patriarch of the Su family had once been declared the richest man in Tian Nan during its peak period.

Although three years ago, due to the second young Miss, Su Yaoxue, breaking off her engagement with the fourth young master of the Ye Family, Ye Xingchen, it caused a rift between the Su Family and their longstanding friends, the Ye Family, leading to a decline in the Su Family's prestige. Yet, within Tian Nan Territory, they remained among the top-tier nobility.

Instantly, the attitude of the two changed suddenly.

"I never imagined, Zhang Bro, that you could actually strike up a conversation with Young Master Su; this type of corporate heir... we can only see them in movies usually."

"Exactly, just managing to talk to him speaks volumes about Zhang Bro's capability. What does it matter if Young Master Su is a bit aloof? Such a demeanor befits his status as Young Master Su."

The two quickly said.

"I need to go back for a bit, to get some directives from my father. If I can host Su Alkaid well during his visit to Shanlong City, it inevitably will benefit the entire Zhang Family immensely."

Zhang Qing waved his hand and quickly departed.

Meanwhile, he racked his brains about what method to use to feign a chance encounter and rekindle Su Alkaid's interest.

...

Inside the luxury car returning to the mansion.

Lei Ao looked at the colorful night lights outside, unable to help but licked his crimson tongue.

"What a marvelous place. People from Artifact Sect... really know how to enjoy life."

But now...

The situation had changed.

His eyes turned frosty.

Soon...

Soon, they wouldn't need to hide as they were doing now.

He watched the pedestrians coming and going on the streets, seemingly pondering over something delightful, and then asked, "A Bao, we are short of hands at the industrial park, tell the people in the publicity department to find some more. I'll inspect it in three days."

"Yes, boss."

The driver responded.

Soon, the vehicle came to a stop as a congestion seemed to have occurred ahead.

Driver A Bao glanced at the navigation, turned the steering wheel, and took a side road.

This route was actually closer back home, but due to poor road conditions, rugged and bumpy, he rarely drove on it.

However, driving a bit slower, it didn't really affect them.

At this moment, a shared bicycle sped past their car from behind and then stopped right on their path ahead.

A person dressed like a student got off the bike.

"Beep!"

A Bao honked the car horn.

However, the person didn't respond, walking straight to the rear seat where the boss was, and knocked on the window.

"Lei Ao?"

He called out.

Inside the car, Lei Ao frowned.

He didn't need to speak, as driver A Bao had already put the car into park, unbuckling his seatbelt, ready to get out...

However, at that moment, the person spoke again, "Never mind, whether you are Lei Ao or not isn't important; essentially, it's all the same."

"Bang!"

The next moment, the locked car door was suddenly torn open, with shrapnel flying.

As Lei Ao looked up abruptly, a Formless blade, aglow with neon light, swooped down.

Lei Ao's reaction was incredibly fast.

As the blade light tore through the air, he sitting in the rear of the car suddenly collapsed sideways and backward, lifting his legs in the extremely cramped space like a tensed spring and kicked fiercely.

One foot, thrusting toward Alkaid's sword-wielding arm.

The other, pushing against the car's B-pillar, using the force of that push to glide out swiftly.

His right hand pressed against the seat to vault into the air.

The whole sequence of movements, smooth and flowing.

Clearly planning to use the momentum to shatter the car window and dart out in the opposite direction, escaping the "terrain" disadvantage.

This series of changes and reactions were incredibly fast, in the blink of an eye.
