C1 I Am Invincible in the Same Realm I Am Invincible in the Same Realm

Ilanahil.

In the grand hall of the Lee family.

"Lee Yifan has shown himself to be disloyal, neglecting the welfare of our family. Effective immediately, he is stripped of his title as Young Master, and Lee Aotian will assume the role."

Lee Yifan stood at the center of the hall, his face void of emotion, his eyes dim.

He had anticipated this outcome the moment Old Demon Hua shattered his dantian, but he hadn't expected it to come to pass so swiftly.

For years, he had sustained grave injuries over a hundred times in service to the Lee family, narrowly escaping death on several occasions.

Now, with his dantian broken, not only did they refrain from aiding his recovery, but they also couldn't wait to strip him of his position as Young Master.

Their actions were the epitome of cold-blooded ruthlessness.

He had spent years trying to become a true member of the Lee family, to be one of them.

Yet, they proved themselves undeserving.

"Lee Yifan, you have endangered our entire clan by offending the Young Master of the Hua family. I hereby banish you from the Lee family. From this day forward, you have no connection to us whatsoever."

Lee Zheng, the patriarch of the Lee family, declared irrevocably.

Lee Yifan wondered if his ears deceived him. The Lee family had not only taken away his title but were now expelling him.

He had truly underestimated the depths of the Lee family's dishonor; they lacked any semblance of a moral compass.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Lee Yifan burst into laughter.

His laugh was tinged with desolation and a touch of liberation. If he was not welcome here, he would find his place elsewhere.

Besides, did these shortsighted fools really think that without his dantian, he was useless?

Little did they know, he hailed from another world.

In his past life, he was a scientist researching nuclear power plants. After an explosion during an experiment, he awoke to find himself in this world as Lee Yifan.

And within his dantian lay a nuclear power station, albeit dormant.

Lee Yifan had dedicated years to figuring out how to awaken the power station. His final conclusion was that he needed to shatter his dantian and then harness the power of heavenly thunder.

He had always been too cautious to take such a risk, but now, with his dantian shattered, the urge to activate the nuclear power plant grew stronger by the minute. Once he could harness the power plant, he would possess an endless supply of electricity, making it nearly impossible for him not to be formidable. He was eager to see the expression on the Lee family's faces then.

"Lee Yifan, what's so funny?" Lee Aotian, the newly appointed Young Master, asked sternly, "Do you disagree with the family's decision?"

Lee Yifan shook his head, "Disagree? On the contrary, I'm so pleased that I can't help but smile. Young Master, the future of the Lee family is in your hands. I bid you farewell!"

"Wait!" Lee Aotian stepped in front of Yifan, hands clasped behind his back, eyeing him as one might assess their prey. "The Lee family has a rule: only the strongest among the younger generation can claim the title of Young Master. The family has thrust this title upon me, but I feel the honor is hollow, the claim unwarranted."

"I may not covet the title of Young Master, but since the family has bestowed it upon me, I cannot let them down. However, I must earn it rightfully."

"I can only rightfully claim the title of Young Master by defeating you, the current top expert. Once I do, I will be the new champion, and my claim to the title will be indisputable."

"So, you're challenging me?" Lee Yifan said with a sneer. He had never encountered someone so brazen, someone who sought to sanctify their own dishonor.

His dantian was now destroyed, his powers lost, and yet his opponent was using him as a stepping stone to ascend.

Lee Yifan gave Lee Aotian a contemptuous look. "Are you certain you can handle me?"

"What, are you frightened?" Lee Aotian pointed to the ground. "If you're scared, crawl between my legs. A coward doesn't deserve to leave through the Lee family's main gate."

"If it's death you seek, I shall grant it!" Lee Yifan's eyes blazed, and a fierce aura of combat enveloped him. In a flash, the Lee family's grand hall transformed into a battlefield, charged with an air of lethal intent.

"Take this!"

With those words, Lee Aotian launched a punch at Lee Yifan, his fist cutting through the air with the force of thunder.

A grim smile twisted Lee Yifan's lips. His dantian might have been destroyed, but he was no pushover to be trifled with by just anyone.

His right hand balled into a fist, muscles swelling like a rising hill, his entire arm enlarging.

Then, with a ferocious thrust, he punched out.

Boom!

Their fists collided, emitting a deep, resonant sound akin to two boulders smashing together.

Lee Aotian was sent hurtling backward, crashing to the ground with blood spewing from his mouth, a picture of utter defeat.

Lee Yifan had bested Lee Aotian with sheer physical might.

Gazing down at Lee Aotian, Lee Yifan declared, "Even as a tiger might fall flat, I, Lee Yifan, will not suffer the indignity of defeat by the likes of you."

Nearby, the Chief Elder's fingers danced, sending two jolts of energy into Lee Yifan's legs.

Lee Aotian, having received the Chief Elder's cue, launched his attack. Despite Lee Yifan's formidable strength, his crippled dantian and the surprise assault left him with barely a fraction of his peak power. He managed to fend off a dozen moves before Lee Aotian's punch sent him tumbling to the ground.

Before Lee Yifan could rise, Lee Aotian's foot was on his chest, his smile twisted as he taunted, "You've lost, Lee Yifan. I let you taste hope only to plunge you into despair. How does it feel to fall from heaven to hell?"

"Does it gnaw at you?"

Lee Aotian's grin deepened as he leaned in and whispered into Lee Yifan's ear, "You may be stronger, but you've still lost to me. Oh, and here's a little secret: it was our own family who divulged your location to the Hua clan, leading to your current plight."

Boom!

Lee Aotian's revelation struck Lee Yifan like a thunderbolt, his mind reeling with the betrayal.

He had served the Lee family with unwavering loyalty, only to be sold out by them.

"Now that your dantian is ruined, I'll just go ahead and cripple your legs too..."

"The Jiang family, Miss Jiang has arrived!"

A voice suddenly echoed from outside.

Whoosh!

The Lee family was thrown into a commotion.

"The Jiang family, our Ilanahil's most beautiful woman, Miss Jiang, has come to the Lee family?"

"Previously, the Jiang family was hardly noteworthy, but with Miss Jiang's return, they're poised to become the most prestigious family in Ilanahil."

"Indeed, it's said that Miss Jiang's prowess rivals that of the City Lord. And at just twenty years old, her cultivation methods are a mystery."

"Could Miss Jiang be here for our Young Master Lee Aotian?"

"The Young Master and Miss Jiang are a match made in heaven."

The Lee family was abuzz with speculation.

Upon hearing the chatter, Lee Aotian was convinced that Jiang Yurou had come for him.

If he could indeed win Jiang Yurou's heart, he'd be unstoppable, a true victor in life.

Lee Aotian couldn't resist adjusting his attire, putting on what he believed to be a dashing smile, eager to make a memorable impression on Jiang Yurou.

Jiang Yurou entered the room.

In that instant, it seemed as though the world dimmed in comparison to her radiance. All light appeared to converge upon her.

Her skin was fairer than snow, her figure elegant, her beauty breathtaking.

She was like a favorite of the heavens, showered with adoration throughout her life.

Witnessing Jiang Yurou, who seemed nothing short of divine, Lee Aotian's heart pounded, and he found himself swallowing hard. Struggling to compose himself, he was about to step forward and introduce himself when Jiang Yurou approached Lee Yifan, took his hand, and asked with concern, "Husband, are you alright?"
