The onlookers' pulses quickened with each strike exchanged between the combatants, their cheers echoing through the arena as the fight reached its climax. This was one of the best fight they had ever seen, leaving spectators breathless with admiration and disbelief. As the dust settled and the victorious duo emerged, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause, their admiration palpable in the charged atmosphere.

Among the spectators, whispers rippled through the crowd, fueled by awe and curiosity. How could someone in the fifth stage of the origin realm possess such formidable strength? It was a question that lingered in the minds of many, overshadowing even the thrill of the spectacle they had just witnessed.

While they could understand the royal family's only heir to be this strong, who was this unknown person who was even stronger than him?

As the spectators' minds raced with countless questions, they saw Eli Shan and Lin Feng emerging from the arena. Stepping out, their expressions radiated with satisfaction, and the crowd instinctively made way for them.

With awe and respect, the onlookers gazed at both of them as they passed through the crowd.

Approaching Xie Meng, Eli Shan couldn't resist a touch of playful arrogance. "I am great, aren't I?" he remarked, a hint of pride coloring his tone.

Xie Meng responded with a gentle affirmation, her smile radiant with affection. "No one could be greater than you, husband," she replied softly.

Observing Eli Shan and Xie Meng, Lin Feng thought of something but hesitated to speak. "Brother Eli Shan," he began softly, his gaze shifting between Eli Shan and Xie Meng, "I wanted to ask you about something from earlier, should I?"

Eli Shan nodded. "Of course, what's on your mind?"

"It's about..." Lin Feng leaned in, lowering his voice, "A girl..."

A flicker of understanding crossed Eli Shan's features, his smile warm and knowing. "Feel free to speak openly, Lin Feng. There's nothing to hide from Xie Meng."

Lin Feng nodded solemnly before posing his question, "Do you remember that girl who was with you? I guess her name was Feng Qiang, right?"

Eli Shan nodded in acknowledgment. "You are correct."

Lin Feng continued with a nod. "Would you like to meet her again?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Eli Shan asked, confusion evident in his voice. She live in this city too? How could there be such a coincidence?

Lin Feng grasped Eli Shan's confusion and elaborated, "Brother if I'm not mistaken, she is the only daughter of Feng Liu, the wealthiest and most prominent businessman in this city. He even donated the highest amount of money to the royal family. It was at that time, when he came to donate money while I was young, I met with his only daughter, Feng Qiang!"

Eli Shan's expression shifted as understanding dawned. "Ah, I see," he murmured, the pieces falling into place. Though he was still shocked. Does all of his friends have such a big background?

Eli Shan's disbelief lingered as he questioned, "How could there be such a coincidence?"

In response, Lin Feng offered insight, "Brother, perhaps you're unaware, but people from the central plains are scattered far and wide across the world. Especially the offspring of influential figures. They're often sent on journeys at a young age to gain a deeper understanding of the world. Eventually, they return to their roots, either to ascend to positions of power or to assist in their family's business."

Eli Shan nodded in understanding. "This is indeed a smart strategy to increase a city's strength. Now I understand why there aren't many pampered rich kids here. So, she's in this city right now?"
