"Brother Jiang!"

"Jiang... Jiang Li?"

The two who spoke were a petite figure with a large hat and delicate features like a porcelain doll, Lin Yeyu.

The other was a cold and aloof girl with waist-length hair, the former goddess of Xingyuan High School, Ji Mengtao.

However, both of them looked somewhat uncertain when they saw Jiang Li, as his current appearance seemed more mature than before, like he was around 20 years old.

Jiang Li waved a greeting to Lin Yeyu. As for Ji Mengtao, he just nodded.

The remaining three men and one woman in the room all looked at Jiang Li with curiosity.

Wasn't it said that only six people were participating in this relic expedition? How come there's one more now?

One of the men looked particularly strange. Unlike the other three from the military, he belonged to the Tian Dao Institute. Naturally, he was familiar with the two most famous geniuses of the Tian Dao Institute.

Ji Mengtao, with an S-level talent, was noble and possessed an icy temperament and exquisite beauty, known as the "Alpine Flower of the Snowy Mountain" among the students of the Tian Dao Institute.

Lin Yeyu, with an A-level Apex Level rare talent, had a special physique and terrifying strength, comparable to a senior student. With a lovely appearance and a timid personality, she also attracted a lot of attention at school.

These two most famous geniuses of the Tian Dao Institute actually both took the initiative to greet the same person. What exactly is the identity of this man?

Lin Yeyu happily ran to Jiang Li's side. In her heart, Brother Jiang was like a deity.

Although the qualification for the relic expedition was precious, it was not difficult for Brother Jiang to obtain.

Ji Mengtao's expression was somewhat strange. As Jiang Li's cultivation improved and his Innate Spirit Body became more perfect, his attraction to Ji Mengtao became more intense.

Seeing Jiang Li and Lin Yeyu looking so familiar, a strange emotion pervaded Ji Mengtao's heart.

[Ding, reminder to the host, keep yourself clean! Don't be a scumbag!]

The system's voice suddenly appeared in Jiang Li's mind, leaving him stunned.

When did I become a scumbag? How come I don't know?

"Let me introduce to you, this is the leader of today's relic expedition! You can call him Teacher Jiang. For this mission, you must follow his command."

Feng Tianhua's voice rang out, leaving everyone except Lin Yeyu in a daze.

What? He's the leader?

The leader's task is to ensure the personal safety of everyone. This person looks no more than 20 years old.

Although all of them came from upper-class families, they either belonged to the military or the relatively closed environment of the Tian Dao Institute, and they were not aware of Jiang Li's position as a deputy governor.

Only Lin Yeyu obediently greeted, "Hello, Teacher Jiang."

To her, whether Jiang Li was a leader or a student made no difference. In her eyes, Jiang Li was omnipotent.

After hearing Lin Yeyu's greeting, a feeling of defeat suddenly overwhelmed Ji Mengtao.

No, she couldn't admit defeat here. She bit her cherry lips, and a faint pink blush appeared on her icy-cold cheeks. Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

"Tea... Teacher Jiang."

After saying these three words, Ji Mengtao quickly turned her completely red face away, not daring to look in Jiang Li's direction again.

"I can't accept this!"

A girl in a military uniform with fiery red hair and a few freckles on her face suddenly spoke up.

"I can't accept that such a young person is our leader. I don't think he can protect our safety!"

They were the six people with the best talents among all the awakened individuals in Jiangdong Province this year! That's why they were chosen to go to the No. 001 relic. How could they entrust their lives to such a stranger?

The moment she spoke, the entire room fell into silence.

"Outrageous!" Feng Tianhua's stern voice resounded.

"You are a soldier, and soldiers must obey orders! If you don't want to go, then get out and give the opportunity to someone else."

At this moment, Feng Tianhua, as a governor and a semi-divine powerhouse, exuded an overwhelming aura.

The girl with fiery red hair's eyes slightly reddened, but she didn't dare to speak out.

"You can rest assured that although my strength is not particularly strong, I am more than capable of leading you on this expedition to the relic. You may not trust me, but you must trust Governor Feng's judgment."

Jiang Li's calm voice spoke up, showing no signs of anger from the recent incident. After all, except for Lin Yeyu, an Apex Level fan, anyone else might not think that they had the strength to dominate the relic.

For a moment, no one in the room spoke, tacitly accepting Jiang Li as the leader.

Jiang Li sighed silently in his heart, thankful that he looked more mature after reaching the Foundation Building stage.

If he still had the face of a 16 or 17-year-old, these people probably wouldn't have followed him even if it meant being deprived of their qualifications.

"Alright, since there are no objections, let's set off!"

Following Feng Tianhua, everyone arrived at the top floor of the giant building, where a small aircraft was parked.

"I wish you a smooth operation, Brother Jiang!" Feng Tianhua smiled and clasped his hands outside the aircraft, watching as the group entered.

In the awkward atmosphere, the aircraft soared into the sky, heading towards the safe zone.

Inside the aircraft, only Lin Yeyu sat beside Jiang Li, smiling happily, while the others remained silent.

Time passed slowly...

An hour later, the aircraft slowly landed on the ground.

"Alright, follow me down."

The six of them followed Jiang Li down from the aircraft.

Before them stood a solitary, over five-meter-tall circular gate. The gate exuded an ancient aura, as if it would turn to dust at a touch.

On the gate frame, there were strange patterns that looked like characters, densely packed and exuding a mysterious and incomprehensible charm.

Jiang Li nodded. This was it, no different from what was described in the information.

"I'll go in first, and you must follow closely. Catch up as soon as possible."

After speaking, Jiang Li's hand touched the gate frame.

A dizzying sensation appeared in Jiang Li's mind. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment.

The next moment, Jiang Li's eyes had already transitioned to a different scene. Under his feet was a huge stone path stretching into the distance.

The road was covered with various strange and incomprehensible patterns. On both sides of the stone path were dense forests, each tree with thick roots and towering height.

It was clearly daytime just now, but above the sky here, a bright moon hung high, and the dim moonlight made it look particularly eerie.

Soon, Lin Yeyu's figure also appeared beside Jiang Li. Then, the others appeared one after another.
