Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Two figures slowly entered the lobby on the first floor of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group. Their appearance instantly silenced the previously noisy lobby.

All eyes turned to the two figures, and a tense expression appeared on their faces. They also had a strange premonition that something important was about to happen.

In the conference room on the second floor, Zhan Jiuyou and Feng Wuyai, who were having a heated discussion about the rating conference, seemed to sense something. Their conversation suddenly stopped, and a look of surprise flashed in their eyes. Almost at the same time, the two of them jumped up from their seats and hurriedly ran downstairs.

With a sense of curiosity, Lu Lingxi walked to the second-floor railing, gently placed her hands on the cool jade handrail, and lowered her eyes to look down.

In the center of the hall stood two people, but strangely, she couldn't sense even a fraction of their strength.

With Lu Lingxi's mental strength, she could at least sense the power fluctuations of a Spirit Emperor-level expert. However, when she tried to extend her mental strength towards the two people, it was as if she had touched an invisible barrier. Her perception was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, with no echo.

It was clear that the cultivation levels of these two individuals had far surpassed the Spirit Emperor realm that she could reach.

When Zhan Jiuyou and Feng Wuyai arrived at the lobby on the ground floor and saw the two of them, they couldn't help but stiffen slightly. They quickly adjusted their posture and bowed deeply to each other with an almost ritualistic solemnity.

A warm smile bloomed on Zhan Jiuyou's face, his words carrying a mixture of politeness and curiosity.

"I never expected that you two distinguished guests would deign to come in person. May I ask what brings you here?"

The middle-aged man standing before me was around forty years old. His skin was like bronze, sculpted by time, and his facial features were well-defined, with every line revealing his extraordinary nature.

His deep eyes seemed to see into people's hearts, flashing with a sharp light that was hard to look directly at. Coupled with his tall and strong body, every muscle contained the toughness and strength of a mountain. Just by standing silently, he exuded an aura of pressure that could not be underestimated.

Beside him stood an elderly man in his eighties, the marks of time leaving silver streaks in his hair, which shimmered brilliantly under the lamplight.

The old man's eyes were deep and clear, as if they contained the wisdom and insight into all things in the world. Although the skin on his face was as withered and dry as fallen leaves in late autumn, the smile on his lips was so warm and kind that it inspired respect.

These two strikingly different figures stood side by side, one as resolute as a mountain peak, the other as gentle as jade, making Zhan Jiuyou and Feng Wuyai even more respectful, eagerly awaiting what would follow.

The old man smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "I've heard that your Blazing Flame Mercenary Group has recruited a remarkable genius?"

Upon hearing this, the entire space seemed to freeze under an invisible force, and everyone's breath caught in their throats. They looked at each other, wondering to themselves: So, these two had come for Leng Aotian.

These two men are household names in the mercenary world. The old man is Feng Shengxie, the president of the Mercenary Guild; and the man beside him is Di Mingchi, the leader of the Tianlong Mercenary Group, the top mercenary group of the Seven Star Mercenary Group. He is a man who is known as the pinnacle of mercenary groups for his strength and wisdom.

Thinking of Leng Aotian, the young man who had just joined the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group, who was able to make two big shots, Feng Shengxie and Di Mingchi, appear at the same time, such an honor was something that even the high and mighty emperor of Lingyue Kingdom might not be able to match. This made the Blazing Flame members present immediately beam with indescribable glory.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jiuyou chuckled and was about to speak when Di Mingchi, standing to the side, spoke first, his tone tinged with urgency.

"Brother Zhan, where is he? You didn't hide him, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Jiuyou smiled bitterly and was about to organize his thoughts to explain when Di Mingchi interrupted him rudely again, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

"Speaking of which, I'm really curious. Your Blazing Flame Sect is currently in dire straits, and its rating is almost at risk. How did you manage to attract such a genius to join? Could it be that Blazing Flame has some secret weapon that we don't know about?"

Zhan Jiuyou's expression became even more awkward. He sighed inwardly, realizing that in the current state of Lieyan, there were no secret weapons left to speak of; they were barely holding on.

He forced a smile and said, "Commander Di, please stop teasing us. Everyone knows the current situation of Blazing Flame. As for that young friend, his choice to choose us is a sign of his trust in Blazing Flame."

Upon hearing this, Di Mingchi's lips curled into a disdainful smile, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, even so, it's rare for you to get such a bargain."

At this moment, Feng Shengxie, the president of the mercenary guild, interjected at the opportune moment. His voice was gentle and sincere: "Jiuyou, we came here today because we want to see this legendary young genius with our own eyes. We wonder if you could do us the honor of introducing us?"

Faced with the request from the Mercenary Guild leader, Zhan Jiuyou, despite feeling utterly helpless, could not directly refuse.

He sighed, his gaze involuntarily turning to the second-floor corridor where Lu Lingxi stood quietly.

“Aotian…” Zhan Jiuyou called softly, seemingly asking Lu Lingxi Yao for instructions.

The two of them looked up at the second floor at the same time, and saw Di Mingchi sway, stagger, and almost lose his balance and fall to the ground.

Initially, they still harbored some doubts, thinking that the person who came to report might have exaggerated. However, when they saw the boy with their own eyes, all their doubts vanished instantly—standing on the second floor was indeed a very young child.

At this moment, a sea of ​​people had gathered in front of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group. From the moment Lu Lingxi Yao completed her registration, her astonishing cultivation level of the second star of the Spirit Sect seemed to have sprouted wings and quickly spread to every corner of the Mercenary Guild.

Driven by curiosity and admiration for this young genius, people flocked here, eager to catch a glimpse of him. The fact that he could attract figures like the president and the leader of the Di Mingchi gang only fueled the burning curiosity of the onlookers.

After all, on ordinary days, it's incredibly difficult to even see them.

However, Lu Lingxi was completely unaware of her "sudden increase in wealth," and she didn't know that she had become the focus of everyone's attention.

Why would this young genius with such talent choose to join the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group? This undoubtedly left a huge mystery in everyone's minds.

Lu Lingxi Yao naturally understood Zhan Jiuyou's dilemma at this moment. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, forming a faint smile. Then she slowly walked down the steps and came to them.

"May I ask who you two are...?"

Feng Shengxie spoke first, his voice deep and powerful, exuding an unquestionable authority.

"I am Feng Shengxie, the president of the Mercenary Guild, and this is Di Mingchi, the leader of the Tianlong Mercenary Group."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi nodded slightly, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light that seemed to see into people's hearts. "President Feng, Commander Di, I have long admired your names. It is truly an honor to meet you today. I am Leng Aotian, a member of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group."

Upon hearing Leng Aotian's self-introduction, the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group, whether seasoned veterans or newcomers, seemed to be touched by an invisible force. An unprecedented sense of excitement and pride surged within them, and their backs unconsciously straightened even more. It was as if, at this moment, the cohesion of the entire team had reached an unprecedented height.

Upon hearing Lu Lingxi's resolute emphasis, Di Mingchi's expression shifted. He had originally been determined to bring this genius youth under his wing no matter what, but now it seemed that it would not be an easy task.

Nevertheless, he did not give up that faint hope, and looked at Lu Lingxi with earnest eyes, slowly speaking.

“Young friend Aotian, my Tianlong Mercenary Group, as a Seven-Star Supreme, possesses the most lucrative mining area in the Dark Mine, with the ore quality being second to none. If you join us, whatever your needs, just ask, and Tianlong will do its utmost to satisfy them. Furthermore, any ore vein discovered in the Dark Mine can be given to you as one-tenth.”

Upon hearing this, not only were the onlookers outside speechless, but everyone inside was also astonished. It should be noted that the Seven Star Mercenary Group's influence in the Dark Mine and the quality of the spirit ore they obtained were among the best. Emperor Mingchi's promise undoubtedly showed great importance to Leng Aotian.

Di Mingchi gazed at the young man with anticipation. Although he knew that this recruitment would come at a considerable cost, he believed it was all worthwhile.

After all, this young man, who has already reached the second level of the Spirit Sect realm at such a young age, has enormous potential and his future achievements are limitless.

Faced with such tempting conditions, even Zhan Jiuyou's firm belief wavered, and the other members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group also looked uneasy, fearing that Leng Aotian would be attracted by the high salaries offered by the Heavenly Dragon Mercenary Group.

After all, such a temptation is hard for anyone to resist.

However, Lu Lingxi Yao simply smiled and shook her head gently, her tone filled with determination and gratitude: "Thank you for your kind invitation, Commander Di, but I am already a member of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group. This matter is settled and will not be changed. I appreciate your kindness."

The crowd watching outside the gate was shocked to hear Lu Lingxi's answer. The olive branch that Di Mingchi had offered was so tempting, yet the young man rejected it without hesitation.

This scene caused Di Mingchi's face to darken, and he secretly sighed in his heart that this young man was so ruthless and showed no mercy whatsoever.

Lu Lingxi Yao knew that in the complex and ever-changing world of mercenaries, interpersonal relationships were just as important as strength. She parted her lips slightly and spoke slowly.

"Commander Di, although I ultimately chose Blazing Flame, if Tianlong needs me in the future, I, Leng Aotian, will do my utmost and live up to your trust."

Di Mingchi was not an unreasonable person. He gladly accepted Lu Lingxi Yao's suggestion, understanding that it was impossible to force things, and that it was always better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

He then laughed heartily and replied, "Since young friend Aotian has made up his mind, I will respect that. If you need anything in the future, I won't hesitate to ask!"

At this moment, Feng Shengxie intervened in their conversation with a smile. Like a wise man, he perfectly balanced the atmosphere. His voice was gentle yet powerful, exuding an unquestionable authority and kindness.

"Welcome to the Mercenary Guild family, young friend Aotian!"

Lu Lingxi returned his smile, but she knew in her heart that this President Feng was indeed shrewd. He hadn't said a word from beginning to end. In the end, no matter which mercenary group Lu Lingxi belonged to, it didn't affect the fact that she was a member of the Mercenary Guild.

During their subsequent conversation, Lu Lingxi Yao discovered that Di Mingchi, despite his seemingly rough and rugged appearance, was actually a very interesting and wise person. He was righteous, upright, and a very good leader.

Feng Shengxie, on the other hand, was a shrewd old man. Although he was over eighty years old, there was no age gap between them. On the contrary, they got along very well, like old friends.

It's important to understand that in this world where strength reigns supreme, anyone who can become the president of a mercenary guild must possess extraordinary strength and wisdom.

Therefore, she always maintained a sense of awe when communicating with Feng Shengxie.

In Feng Shengxie's heart, Lu Lingxi was a child who was neither arrogant nor impatient, with very mature thoughts and humble speech. Such a talented young man was a once-in-a-century talent, and he dared not imagine what heights this person would reach in the future.

Before parting, Feng Shengxie said, "Young friend Aotian, you'd better do your best in this year's evaluation competition. I look forward to seeing your wonderful performance."

Lu Lingxi replied confidently, "I definitely won't let you down!"

Feng Shengxie's laughter was like a spring breeze, hearty and infectious. He laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, then you'd better prepare well, don't disappoint me! We'll head back now, come visit the Mercenary Guild more often when you have time, there are plenty of interesting things waiting for you there!"

Di Mingchi, standing to the side, echoed him, his face beaming with a warm smile: "Yes, yes, young friend Aotian, you must keep up the good work! Our mercenary world needs fresh blood like you; you're sure to stir up a storm in the future!"

After they finished speaking, they smiled at each other, then turned and left the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group.

The crowd outside, seeing that the two important figures had left and there was nothing more to see, gradually dispersed.

At this moment, the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group seemed to be ignited by an invisible flame, and suddenly burst into a deafening shout. Every face was full of excitement and joy. Because of Lu Lingxi, they felt an unprecedented sense of pride. Several excited mercenaries lifted Lu Lingxi high and threw her into the air without saying a word.

"Aotian! Aotian! Aotian!"

Everyone shouted Leng Aotian's name. In this scene, Zhan Jiuyou and Feng Wuyai stood at the edge of the crowd, watching this scene, their eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.

Since being defeated by Qingluan, their morale had been low, and everyone was listless all day long. However, the arrival of Leng Aotian changed everything.

Zhan Jiuyou said, "Alright, quickly put Aotian down. Aotian's addition has only added an important weight to winning this rating, but remember, we cannot rely solely on Aotian. The future of Blazing Flame requires everyone's joint efforts to build. The future is full of thorns and difficulties. I wonder if everyone still has confidence in this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a firm and unified response rang out in the hall, as powerful and inspiring as thunder.

"Have!"

Upon seeing this, Zhan Jiuyou's eyes gleamed with excitement. He raised his voice again, his tone filled with inspiring power.

"Then let's cheer up, train hard, and be in the best condition for the upcoming rating battle!"

"The flames will prevail! The flames will prevail! The flames will prevail!..."

Instantly, everyone seemed to be injected with adrenaline, raising their arms and shouting. Their voices, filled with power and conviction, resonated and echoed throughout the Hall of Flames...

Thus, the news of the young genius Leng Aotian joining the Blazing Flame quickly spread throughout the entire Mercenary Guild, and Leng Aotian's name instantly became the focus of heated discussion.

The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group held their heads high outside, attracting envious and jealous glances wherever they went. This gave the Blazing Flame Mercenary Group, who had been suffering setbacks, a chance to finally feel proud.
