Third Life Reincarnation: Finally Born Into a Magical World

The sudden return of Bai Ye's shameless confidence made him feel strangely uncomfortable.

But thinking about it…

This really was Bai Ye's original personality.

Back when they first met, Bai Ye had been endlessly bragging about his achievements and status. That thick-skinned confidence had been his trademark.

"Looks like you really figured things out," Ryan said with a grin. "Your shameless bragging ability has fully recovered."

"Hey! That's not bragging!" Bai Ye protested immediately.

"I really am the richest man in the thirty-six cities of the North District!"

"And the most handsome one too!"

"And besides you, who else in the North District can beat me? Calling myself the second genius is completely reasonable!"

Ryan rubbed his forehead.

For a moment he wondered if encouraging Bai Ye earlier had actually been a mistake.

The most handsome man?

The richest man?

Had Bai Ye ever looked in a mirror?

Ryan himself thought he looked at least as good as Bai Ye.

And when it came to wealth…

He had the God of War System.

He could casually produce heaven-rank martial arts or sell them for astronomical prices.

Who was richer?

Yet Bai Ye spoke as if the title was already his.

Ryan decided not to argue further.

Instead, he looked up at the sky.

"Alright," he said. "Let's move. It's getting late, and we still have things to do."

"Go where?" Bai Ye asked blankly.

"Where else?" Ryan replied.

"To hunt monsters and complete the entrance exam."

"And more importantly, we need to find the other North District candidates."

He glanced at the frozen battlefield around them.

"After seeing what just happened, you should understand their situation."

"The candidates from the three regions have been bullying the North District for years."

"Now that we know the rules they like so much…"

Ryan's lips slowly curled into a dangerous smile. "shouldn't we follow those rules too?"

Bai Ye blinked. "You mean… stealing monster crystals?"

"Exactly." Ryan laughed coldly. "Didn't those idiots just explain the rules to us?"

"Are only the three regions allowed to rob the North District?"

"Why can't we rob them?"

"If I hadn't run into them earlier, maybe I wouldn't have known."

"But now that I know…"

He cracked his knuckles.

"It would be a shame not to follow the rules."

"Come on."

"I'll take you guys to rob candidates from the three regions."

"If we see one, we rob one."

"If we see two, we rob two."

"If they refuse…"

Ryan's eyes flashed coldly.

"…then we kill them."

"The candidates from the three regions love targeting the North District, don't they?"

"Then let's show them what happens when they provoke the North District!"

"Let them know the consequences!"

The North District candidates felt their blood surge.

For years they had been suppressed and humiliated.

Now—

At last—

It was their turn to rise.

*

Somewhere deep inside Holy Land.

At that moment, a team of more than thirty candidates was surrounding and attacking a Rank 4 monster beast.

The creature looked very much like a giant elephant, but far more terrifying. Its body stood nearly four meters tall, its massive frame towering over the candidates. Thick gray skin covered its entire body like natural armor. Its long trunk swung violently through the air, and its four thick limbs stomped against the ground with frightening strength.

Every movement of the monster carried tremendous power.

The trunk alone was enough to grab a person and fling them high into the sky before smashing them down to the ground. Its iron-like hooves could easily crush bones if someone was unlucky enough to be stepped on. From time to time, the monster would even shoot out compressed water bombs from its trunk. Anyone struck by those strange projectiles would rapidly lose moisture from their body and die in a horrifying, shriveled state.

Although it was only a Rank 4 monster, its combat strength was far beyond that of ordinary creatures of the same rank.

More than thirty candidates had been surrounding it for nearly half an hour already, yet the battle had still not ended. Several candidates had even been injured during the fight.

"Primary Five, Primary Six! Take a few people and attack its lower body!"

"Hongyuan! Use your long sword to cut at its tail!"

"Xuelin! Strong Wind! Hold down its trunk! Don't let it attack our people!"

"Everyone else follow me and attack its stomach! We already opened a wound there earlier. If we expand that opening, we can definitely kill it!"

Among the group of candidates, one young man with extremely handsome features and long flowing hair stood slightly behind the front line, calmly directing the battle.

His hair was so long that it nearly reached his waist, giving him an almost elegant appearance. Yet his eyes were sharp and focused, constantly observing every movement on the battlefield.

Under his orderly commands, every candidate had a clear role.

Some attacked weak points.

Some restrained the monster.

Others defended injured teammates.

Because of his coordination, the chaotic battlefield had turned into a perfectly synchronized assault.

If not for this long-haired young man's command, the candidates might have already suffered heavy casualties. The monster was simply too powerful.

Yet at this moment, only a few people had been injured, and the overall situation remained firmly under control.

"Boom!"

"Roaaaar!"

A long sword slashed heavily against the monster's tail, sending sparks flying.

At the same time, dozens of fists and weapons rained down upon the monster's stomach like a violent storm. The wound that had previously been opened there grew larger and larger under the relentless attacks.

The elephant-like beast let out a furious roar.

But under the continuous siege of over thirty candidates, even its massive body could no longer endure the punishment.

A moment later—

The monster collapsed heavily onto the ground.

Its stomach had been torn open by the relentless attacks. Blood flowed continuously from its wounds. Its tail had been chopped into several pieces, and its trunk was covered with deep cuts.

The once-mighty beast now looked utterly miserable.

Seeing the monster finally fall, the candidates erupted into cheers.

"We did it! Another one killed!"

"Brother Bin, your command is amazing!"

One of the candidates excitedly gave a thumbs-up to the long-haired youth.

His admiration was obvious.

"Ah… it's nothing," the young man called Brother Bin replied modestly, waving his hand. "Everyone worked well together."

But the others were not convinced by his humble response.

"Brother Bin, don't be modest! If it weren't for your command, how could we have killed so many Rank 4 monsters on the first day?"

"Exactly! That monster was so strong. Without you, even if we managed to kill it, several people would definitely have died!"

"But now only a few are injured, and the monster was killed so quickly. That's entirely because of your command!"

Another candidate added excitedly.

"Before joining this team, I was with another group of over thirty people. When we encountered a Rank 4 monster, we were nearly wiped out. Only I escaped alive."

"But after joining your team, Brother Bin, everything is completely different. Your leadership is incredible!"

"Yes! Following Brother Bin is our blessing!"

"Seven days later, we will definitely complete the entrance exam together!"

"Everyone enters Western Mansion together!"

"Enter Western Mansion together!"

"I've already decided. From now on Brother Bin is my boss. Even after entering Western Mansion he'll still be my boss!"

"That's right! Follow Brother Bin to eat meat and drink wine!"

"Brother Bin! Brother Bin! Brother Bin!"

The group shouted enthusiastically.

It was obvious that this long-haired young man enjoyed tremendous prestige among the candidates.

Brother Bin himself seemed to enjoy the admiration greatly. A satisfied expression appeared on his face, though he still tried to maintain a humble posture.

After letting the cheers continue for a few minutes, he finally raised his hand again.

"Ahem… alright."

"The world is huge, and there are many stronger people out there. My abilities are nothing special."

He paused slightly before continuing.

"Let's stop talking and collect the monster crystal. Then we'll continue hunting the next monster."

"Alright!"

The candidates immediately responded with excitement.

With Brother Bin leading them, killing monsters seemed effortless.

Maybe they could even challenge Rank 5 monsters soon.

After all, the more monster crystals they collected, the higher their entrance exam ranking would be. That meant better treatment and more cultivation resources after entering Western Mansion.

Thinking about such a bright future made everyone extremely excited.

Soon the monster crystal was extracted.

Just as the group prepared to leave—

Seven figures suddenly appeared ahead of them.

They stood directly in the path of the team.

The group consisted of seven candidates.

Among them, one young man looked extremely ordinary. There was no visible aura of a warrior on his body, making him seem almost like an ordinary person.

Yet strangely enough, he stood at the very front of the group.

Behind him stood another particularly eye-catching candidate.

This person's expression was incredibly arrogant. His face practically screamed:

"I am the most powerful."

"Everyone should listen to me."

Just looking at his expression was enough to tell what kind of personality he had.
