"I\'m going to take the third test."

AI nodded and began to explain. "The third test is about Trap."

"Where do the third test—" Alex turned around and seemed to have realized something. "Is it on the cone-shaped building?"

"Yes." AI nodded without an expression and led Alex to the tower.

As soon as he reached the cone-shaped building, the door opened by itself, presenting him with nothing but a blank dark space.

However, Alex noticed there was something underneath the floor as this time, AI was the one giving him the paper.

"This is the instruction for the third test."

Alex grabbed the paper and read it.

\'You are required to kill the enemies inside with only Spatial Gate technique. This means you can only solve the problem with your Space Element and Spatial Gate technique. Good luck.\'

"…" Alex narrowed his eyes and sighed as he entered the room without hesitation. He wasn\'t sure before, but the array underneath this place turned out to be an illusion array.

When he saw that the door closed, he focused his attention on the array. Although he didn\'t know what kind of illusion this test was going to be, he activated the illusion array and allowed himself to be trapped inside it.

The illusion array began to create the world. As one would expect from a Divine Rank Illusion Array, even the feeling was real.

He slowly enjoyed the breeze that gently brushed his skin before opening his eyes.

He was in the middle of the prairie without anyone close to him. The sky was blue, there was only one sun, and no moon was visible. It looked like a normal world for him.

Suddenly, an influx of information came into his head, telling him the current identity and mission.

"What the heck…" Alex couldn\'t help but shout when he read the information. "I was a peerless expert in the past and was betrayed by my only friend. I was reincarnated into the body of a useless young master from the Qin Family, named Qin Hua.

"My mission is to become the first expert in Yang City with my fiancee is about to cancel the engagement. Ugh. Why does it look like I\'m inside this ridiculous story? Don\'t tell me… The Dungeon God had this kind of preference?" Alex made a weird expression. "Still, if the time limit is only six months, I don\'t know if I am going to succeed. Whatever. Six months are good. I don\'t need to suffer for a long time if I can finish this test as soon as possible."

Alex shrugged and rose from the ground as he looked toward the west. "Yang City is in that direction. To be honest, now that I have become a God Rank Expert, I have a different point of view from those protagonists in the story. Anyway, I will need to go to the Qin Family first, so I can get a good grasp of this test before concentrating my attention on cultivation."

"Still, to think that the Dungeon God loves this kind of story. I\'m shocked." Alex shook his head in disappointment and saw a big stone wall standing tall in the middle of this prairie. "I can only use the control of my Space Element and Spatial Gate, so I need to rely on trickery. I guess that\'s good enough to see if I can come up with something amazing. It may even benefit me in the long run."

Alex walked normally in the bustling city, ignoring what the others thought of him. His expression was flat and nothing piqued his interest, so he walked straight to the Qin Family and saw two people greet him.

In his heart, he wanted to scream already. \'Yeah. The setting is perfect too. A bullied mother and a loyal maid that looked like a little sister.\'

"Darling!" The mother leaped and hugged him tightly.

"Young Master." The maid, on the other hand, politely bowed to him.

Although he had no attachment, he thought he needed to play along in this part. "Yeah, I\'m home, Mother."

"Good, good. Let\'s go back and eat." The mother smiled and dragged him inside their house, heading straight to a small pavilion where they lived.

However, when he was about to enter, he sensed a few people coming. Halting his step, Alex turned around, finding a young beautiful pink-haired woman, a middle-aged man, and a few others.

"Qin Hua. Bring out the engagement agreement. I want to cancel our engagement right now!" The young woman shouted with her arrogant look.

"…" Alex stopped for a second.

His mother instinctively stepped forward and shouted in frustration. "What have we done to you? This is the agreement between my husband and your grandfather!"

"Hmph! Trash like him is not qualified to be by my side." The young woman snorted.

The middle-aged man laughed. "The Young City Lord, who is said to be the peerless genius of the city, has taken an interest in our Young Lady. You are just a useless person. You have no right to stay with the young lady. I give you one warning, hand over the agreement right now or you will suffer."

Alex tried to recall the mission again and realized that he only needed to worry about two cultivation stages. The first one was his current cultivation stage, Qi Gathering Stage. The second stage was the Foundation Establishment Stage. The others were the same such as ten small realms in between.

Alex then turned around and asked, "Mother. Where is the engagement agreement?"

"Hua, you…" The mother was dumbfounded while the young woman made a smug smile.

"Why? Being a parent must be hard, right? Instead of deciding your child\'s future before they even live, I think it\'s just reckless thinking. If I were to become a parent, I would have let my child do whatever he wants. If he has a talent in music and doesn\'t want to cultivate, I will support him as long as it can earn him a living." Alex shrugged.

"Y-you!" His mother froze as she simply didn\'t know what to do. Ultimately, she returned to the pavilion and grabbed a scroll before handing it to him.

The moment Alex had it, he tossed it to the young woman as if throwing garbage. "Here you go."

"Hmph! Look at you. You shameless threw this. Don\'t you have any pride?"

Alex made a weird face this time. "It\'s wrong to not give it. It\'s wrong to give it. I don\'t understand you people."

Right now, he felt that the people he met in the past were more reasonable than her. When he embarked on his journey to many worlds, he realized that instead of protecting pride, they thought about who got the last laugh more. That was why he didn\'t hesitate to order a retreat and waited until the right time to destroy the alliance.

"Anyway, you have it, right? Have a nice day then." Alex turned around and had a plan in his mind of how to increase his power quickly.

"Hmph! I don\'t like your attitude. Taishan! Beat him for me." She shouted righteously.

"…" Alex let out a long sigh before he let out a bit of killing intent. It was normal for a cultivator to have a killing intent, whether it came from killing humans or beasts. Although Alex couldn\'t use his Sword or Spear Technique, or even his Pure Fire, he could still use his killing intent as it was a part of reincarnation.

In fact, he wondered where the killing intent those reincarnators had when they lived. After all, killing intent was more related to the soul instead of the body.

The moment Alex leaked a bit of his killing intent, the middle-aged man froze as sweat began covering his whole body. His hands were shaking as he looked at his own hands, finding it was fine. In that instant, he felt that his hands were slashed by something.

"Just be grateful that my master didn\'t kill you." Alex snorted while looking at the middle-aged man and lying about his master. He just wanted them to think he had a backer since it would smoothen everything for him. After all, this was better than exposing his strength too early and made those people send even more people to kill him.

Suddenly, Alex released another bit of his killing intent and forced the middle-aged to kneel. He turned to the left and cupped his hand. "Master. They are irrelevant. Please wait for me… In another six months, I will leave this small town."

"Wha—What just happened? Taishan!" The young miss was bewildered. Luckily, the middle-aged man recognized and quickly kneeled in the direction Alex faced and said, "Immortal Master. I apologize for our behavior. We will quickly leave this place so as to not bother Young Master Qin. Young Miss Qian Yu, what are you doing? Hurry up and give back the agreement!"

"What did you say? Taishan? Have you gone insane?"

While they were still arguing, Alex lifted his finger and controlled a bit of his Space Element to knock the agreement off Qian Yu\'s hands and let it fall into the Spatial Gate.

When the middle-aged man saw it, his face became pale. This meant that Alex\'s hidden master didn\'t like Qian Yu\'s behavior.

At the same time, Alex smiled and cupped his hand again. "Master. I have decided to follow you. This agreement… It\'s better not in my hand."

The moment those words were uttered, another pair of Spatial Gates appeared as Alex threw it inside, so it would fall right on Qian Yu\'s hand.

Alex thought of this trick when he was in the Heavenly Sword Sect. By creating an "imaginary" master, he could protect himself with his own power.

He wondered if they knew Alex had been tricking them since the beginning, what kind of face they would make.

Either way, Alex looked at them and shook his head in disappointment. "Since the matter has been resolved, I think it\'s better for you two to leave. My Master doesn\'t like killing, but when he kills, a million die… Please leave so we don\'t need to see a bloodbath.

"I might be foolish in the past, but now I know that my life is not just about the worldly affair. I simply want to amend my wrongdoings. Please don\'t hinder me from doing so."

Alex had been humble this whole time, but it, in fact, was more intimidating. Alex was acting like a peerless master that didn\'t have any more attachment to a mortal world.

Because he previously was arrogant and looked like a fool, this transformation made the master even more realistic. After all, only an immortal could actually transform a fool like him into someone with a good bearing.

"Y-yes." The middle-aged man grabbed Qian Yu and ran away without hesitation. The killing intent he felt earlier indeed looked like it was coming from someone who had killed millions. He needed to report this to the family head and tried to amend the relationship.

After all, the reason they wanted to break the engagement was due to a new backer. But it turned out that something they wanted to break had something even more amazing behind him. Every act was perfect and the killing intent forced any misaligned gears to fit.

Alex suddenly got a thought. \'Wait a minute. Maybe I can use this in the future. Instead of a master, I can use Fire God\'s God Beasts to help me terrorize the enemies… Oh wait, I have an even better idea. Maybe I should be thankful that the Dungeon God gave me this opportunity to see my own trick from a different perspective and reapplied it in the future. Still, everything is going according to the plan.\'

He then turned around, smiling at the two dumbfounded ladies and said, "Since everything has been resolved, let\'s go inside. I will explain this matter to you two after we eat."

His mother didn\'t know how to react and just let him drag her inside.
