Return to Jiangnan Base City

Jiangnan Extreme Martial Arts General Assembly Hall.

"Wang Yi came back so soon, and now he's acting as a special commissioner?" Chairman Zhou Yongzheng had just received the news from headquarters and was slightly taken aback.

Supervisor Zhuge Tao asked, "Chairman, what does it mean for the headquarters to send down a special commissioner? We've never heard of any special commissioners at the Xtreme Martial Arts Gym."

Zhou Yongzheng glanced at the three supervisors, sensing their curiosity.

"Don't overthink it. The instructions are clear. The identity of this special commissioner is confidential and cannot be made public. He won't interfere with the affairs of our Jiangnan General Assembly Hall unless necessary. Also, his position is on the same level as a supervisor, so we are expected to cooperate with him," Zhou Yongzheng paused, then added, "This appointment comes directly from the head of the main headquarters. You all know what that means."

The three supervisors immediately stiffened.

The head of the Extreme Martial Arts Center, Hong, the very founder of the institution, was the one behind the appointment. His decisions were absolute, and no one could challenge his will.

Since Hong himself appointed this position, not only would the president of the Jiangnan General Assembly Hall have to treat Wang Yi with respect, but even the supervisory envoy would need to handle the situation delicately. The three supervisors exchanged glances and responded in unison, "Chairman, rest assured, we understand."

Zhou Yongzheng nodded, then sighed. "Speaking of which, Wang Yi's progress is astonishing. After just two months in the training camp, he soared to the top of the Black Dragon rankings, and there are rumors he's a spiritual teacher. It's been nearly six months now, and who knows how strong he's become? He might even be stronger than me."

Information about Wang Yi's exact rank and identity had been kept strictly confidential by Xtreme Headquarters. Even Zhou Yongzheng didn't know about his recent promotion to High God of War status.

The supervisors also nodded in awe.

Wang Yi was indeed an extraordinary talent.

Zhou Yongzheng smiled. "Fortunately, we were friendly with him from the start. He probably won't trouble us, but just to be safe, we should give him some extra attention in the coming days."

Suddenly, the phone in the conference room rang.

"Huh?" Zhou Yongzheng answered, and his expression shifted slightly.

"Wang Yi is back? In Mingyue Community, Yangzhou City?"

Zhou Yongzheng stood up abruptly. "Let's go. We'll visit Wang Yi together."

A burly man in the room asked, "Chairman, didn't you say the special commissioner's identity should be kept confidential and that we should act discreetly? Isn't it a bit much for all of us to go together?"

Zhuge Tao smiled. "It's fine. Wang Yi was a standout student at the training camp. Visiting him now, as he returns to the Jiangnan General Assembly Hall, is normal. No one will suspect anything."

Zhou Yongzheng agreed. "Exactly. Our visit is simply to show respect. We'll keep the tone casual, but we must be warm and welcoming."

The four top figures of the Jiangnan General Assembly Hall set off towards Yangzhou City.

It wasn't just the Extreme Martial Arts Club that took notice of Wang Yi's return. Word had quickly spread to various other factions, all aware that his name had disappeared from the Black Dragon rankings.

All parties had concluded that Wang Yi had graduated from the elite training camp.

The return of such a powerful figure to Jiangnan Base City naturally attracted the attention of key departments, though no one approached him directly out of respect for his privacy.

Meanwhile, Wang Yi was spending time with his family and friends, including Wu Tong and several martial artists from Yangzhou City. Outside his villa, a sleek black triangular fighter sat on the lawn, drawing the attention of many curious onlookers.

When Wu Tong saw the advanced fighter for the first time, he was shocked. He knew how valuable such fighters were within the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Valued at over 100 billion yuan, these fighters were nearly impossible to acquire, no matter how wealthy or powerful a faction might be.

But Wang Yi owned one, which deepened Wu Tong's respect for him.

After some time, Wu Tong and the others, not wanting to interrupt Wang Yi's reunion with his family, prepared to leave. Just then, a slight commotion was heard outside.

The four leaders from the Jiangnan General Assembly Hall had arrived.

"Chairman, what brings you here?" Wu Tong and the other martial artists rushed out to greet them.

Zhou Yongzheng, dressed in a formal suit, nodded seriously. "Wang Yi is inside, right?" He refrained from mentioning Wang Yi's special commissioner status to maintain confidentiality.

"Yes, Wang Yi is with his family having dinner."

At that moment, Wang Yi stepped outside.

"Chairman Zhou, supervisors, what brings you here?" Wang Yi greeted them warmly.

"Haha, Wang Yi, you returned without a word! We should have arranged a proper welcome for you," Zhou Yongzheng replied with a broad smile.

The three supervisors behind him also smiled warmly.

The onlookers in Mingyue Community were stunned as they watched Wang Yi and the top officials of the Jiangnan General Assembly Hall engage in friendly conversation. They were all amazed by the high level of respect being shown to Wang Yi, though they didn't fully understand how he had earned such a prominent reception.

Inside Wang Yi's reception room, the group sat together.

Wang Yi, understanding the purpose of their visit, got straight to the point. "Chairman Zhou, I'm back on other business, unrelated to the Jiangnan Base City Martial Arts Center. I won't interfere with your operations, so there's no need to worry."

Relieved, Zhou Yongzheng and the others relaxed, chatted briefly, and then took their leave.

Word quickly spread through the community, and then to all relevant organizations, about the four top officials visiting Wang Yi upon his return.

"Wang Yi, is Luo Feng still in the wilderness area?" Wang Yi had invited the Luo family over, and he wasn't surprised to hear that Luo Feng was still out on a mission.

According to the timeline of events, it was almost time for Luo Feng to eliminate Li Wei and his group in City 003.

"A 100 billion reward..." Wang Yi wasn't planning to intervene.

At least until Luo Feng obtained the Golden Horned Beast clone, Wang Yi had no intention of altering the course of events.

For now, these were merely trials for Luo Feng. Compared to the cosmic storms awaiting him in the future, these were just minor challenges.

Wang Yi's family was overjoyed that he was home to stay.

Wang Yi also contacted Lin Youyu and his other friends. The three girls, who already knew he would be back, were on their way from school, but wouldn't arrive at the community until the evening.
