Chapter 1

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

On a platform, hundreds of people gathered, screaming and cheering. Around the crowd were dozens of cars, most of which were super sports cars.

The most eye-catching were the two cars about to start the race.

One was the most expensive bright red Ferrari 488, worth over four million, and the other was the cheapest Ford Mustang, worth five hundred thousand. The two cars formed a stark contrast.

This was a showdown between Liu Feng, the newly risen young master of Shangjing, and Zhang Han, one of the former Four Young Masters.

Beside the Ford Mustang, Zhang Han leaned silently against the car door. His clothes were disheveled, his hair long, and his bangs covered his eyes when he lowered his head. People couldn't see his tightly closed eyes, but from the chiseled lower half of his face, one could still faintly see the unique handsomeness of the former Young Master Zhang. However, his current demeanor was full of decadence.

As for Liu Feng, he stood in the crowd on the right, like a star surrounded by satellites. His expression seemed to say that the whole world was at his feet.

"Let's go see the once high-and-mighty Young Master Zhang."

Liu Feng waved his hand, a cold smile on his lips, and led the way over.

"Young Master Zhang?"

Approaching, Liu Feng saw that Zhang Han didn't react and said sarcastically, "What's wrong? Are you sleeping? The once invincible Young Master Zhang is now in such a sorry state. Tsk tsk, right before the race, you're still pretending to be aloof, my Young Master Zhang!"

As soon as he spoke, his followers, eager to show off, chimed in one after another:

"Looking at him now, he's just a poor beggar!"

"No, I think he's even worse than a beggar. He might be living on pig feed."

"......"

Beside the Ford Mustang stood a chubby man with glasses, and at his feet was a little girl of about three or four years old.

The little girl was as delicate as a porcelain doll, wearing a white dress. Her exquisite little face was like a fairy tale princess, except for her slightly messy hair, everything else was perfect. But at that moment, her clear big eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed about to cry as she listened to the crowd's ridicule of Zhang Han.

If it were any other time, the little girl's cute appearance would have attracted a lot of attention, but now, it was Liu Feng's time to shine.

A series of mocking insults finally made Zhang Han react.

The moment Zhang Han opened his eyes, there was a look of confusion. Seeing the people's behavior, his gaze sharpened, and his eyes were filled with a disdainful look.

"Do you ants dare to bark in front of me?"

Zhang Han suddenly spat out these strange words.

The entire crowd fell silent for a moment, but then a wave of mocking laughter erupted.

"Zhang Han, I think you're crazy!"

"Maybe you've become a fool."

"......"

The crowd mocked again, but as Zhang Han took in the scene before him, he was stunned.

"Isn't this the time in 2009 when I raced Liu Feng on Wolf Walk Mountain?"

"Why am I here?"

"Wasn't I in the midst of a heavenly tribulation?"

"Could it be... I've come back?"

"Was I reborn by the nine heavens' divine thunder?"

A tremor flashed in Zhang Han's eyes.

In Zhang Han's memory, five years ago, the Zhang family was one of the eight major families in Shangjing, and his father was the head of the family. So Zhang Han was fearless. But during a family trip by plane, they encountered a mid-air disaster, and his parents and sister died. His uncle Zhang Ming took over as head of the family but couldn't prevent the decline of the Zhang family.

Zhang Han was deeply affected, believing his family had been murdered. He began to investigate Zhang Ming, who had always been hostile to his father, but was discovered. Combined with the many enemies Zhang Han had made, he was eventually expelled from the Zhang family.

It had been five years since then. Zhang Han refused to leave and continued to investigate, enduring a hard life but persisting until the Wolf Walk Mountain incident.

He remembered that during the race on Wolf Walk Mountain, he had a serious accident and lost his arms. He survived for five years in a weakened state and eventually jumped off a cliff to end his life, unexpectedly entering a cultivation world.

He began to cultivate and awakened a natural talent—the Treasure Nose, which allowed him to sense the aura of treasures within a certain range.

With this talent, over five hundred years, Zhang Han used various treasures to build up his cultivation to the Tribulation Transcending stage, becoming a renowned figure in the heavens and the mortal world, one of the most sought-after individuals to ascend to the immortal realm.

But who would have thought that during the heavenly tribulation, his foundation was unstable and he couldn't withstand the attack.

"Why not five years ago?"

A hint of melancholy appeared on Zhang Han's face.

Not being able to fulfill his filial duties was always Zhang Han's greatest regret. Before his family left, he was young and reckless, causing a lot of trouble for his father and saying many hurtful things to his mother. No matter how much he regretted it, it couldn't be undone.

Filial piety comes first among all virtues. Although Zhang Han was rebellious, his love for his parents was no less than anyone else's.

Even during his five hundred years of cultivation, Zhang Han would always think of a phrase:

"The tree wants to be still, but the wind won't stop; the child wants to be filial, but the parents are no longer there."

"Zhang Han!"

A cold voice interrupted Zhang Han's thoughts. He looked up to see Liu Feng staring at him with a cold gaze.

"Five years ago, you expelled me from Shangjing! Five years later, I, the car king of Los Angeles, Liu Feng, have returned with a vengeance, and you, Zhang Han, are living worse than a dog! Remember, today I, Liu Feng, will make you leave Shangjing in a coffin!"

"Oh, so impressive?" Zhang Han replied with a mix of surprise and refusal: "Then I won't race."

Liu Feng was taken aback, his facial muscles twitching, feeling like he had punched into thin air, which was very uncomfortable.

"Zhang Han! I'll add a little more excitement to this race." Liu Feng shook the Ferrari's car keys and said, "If you win me, this car is yours."

"Then I can't refuse such a generous offer." Zhang Han smiled and said.

"Huh."

Liu Feng sneered, raised his hand, and ordered his followers, "Set up the screens!"

As he spoke, several TV screens were set up behind him, and remote-controlled drones were launched at various points on Wolf Walk Mountain. The screens displayed the live feed from the drones, showing the entire race track.

"Let's get ready to start!"

Liu Feng nodded secretly to the chubby man with glasses behind the Ford Mustang and got into the Ferrari.

However, just as Zhang Han was about to enter the Ford Mustang, a timid, childlike voice called out from behind:

"Daddy, come on, beat the bad guys!"

Zhang Han was taken aback, turned his head, and saw the little princess standing at the chubby man's feet.

"How can such a cute little girl call someone daddy so casually?"

Zhang Han chuckled and shook his head.

"Brother Han, you will definitely win!" The chubby man clenched his fist in encouragement.

"Thanks for the good luck. Your car will bring me good fortune." Zhang Han glanced at him and got into the Mustang.

A tall, bikini-clad beauty walked to the front of the two cars, holding two small flags in her hands, and raised them high:

"Get ready!"

The engines of the two cars roared in unison.

Inside the Ferrari, Liu Feng's lips curled into a smug smile.

The chubby man behind him smiled meaningfully.

The little princess at his feet looked full of fear and worry, her eyes brimming with tears, making her look pitiful.

But inside the Mustang, Zhang Han's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Trying to gang up on me?"

"Unfortunately, I'm not the same person I was back then."

"Even without any cultivation, how can you ants challenge me?"
