Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System

"Pfft!" Hearing this name, Fang Jueyu nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood. Was there really someone with such a name in this world?

"What's so funny? Even though I traveled from 2015, don't think I don't get the joke!" Wang Genji said menacingly.

"Sorry, sorry, I just couldn't help it!" Fang Jueyu burst out laughing.

"If you weren't an Earthling, I'd have killed you already!" Wang Genji said through gritted teeth.

Despite his demigod status, he had a peculiar personality, with none of the airs of a demigod. In fact, he was more like a rogue scoundrel.

"Teacher, how did you travel through time?" Fang Jueyu asked, incredibly curious.

"It all started on a pitch-black daytime," Wang Genji said, taking out a bottle of pale yellow liquid and gulping it down. "What are you staring at? It's homemade beer. A single sip can extend a normal person's life. Wanna try?"

"No, no!" Fang Jueyu shook his head in disgust at the sight of the drool on the bottle's mouth.

Wang Genji didn't mind and sat on that "Show-off Academy" stone, beginning to tell his tale.

Like Fang Jueyu before inheriting Xiao Yi from Fang Huai, Wang Genji was a broke student. He didn't come from a well-off family, but through hard work, he made a fortune recycling discarded books during college.

After entering society, with this sum of money, he started a small company. It was originally successful, but due to inexperience and naive thinking, he was deceived.

Fortunately, his debt wasn't huge. He used all his savings from years to pay it off.

Wang Genji wasn't discouraged. He pooled money with friends to make a comeback, but before that, he wanted to fulfill a long-held dream: to see the aurora in Iceland.

It was a beautiful aurora accompanied by a peculiar meteor shower. He made a wish, hoping to become someone extraordinary. It was as if the heavens heard him, because a cosmic ray from a time-space disturbance transported him to a mysterious place.

It was a very special Cosmic Secret Realm, and to this day, he didn't know how he got in there. Even now, he couldn't find a way back.

In this Cosmic Secret Realm, he encountered the vast cosmos and even inherited the legacy of an ancient, extinct civilization.

From then on, Wang Genji embarked on the path of the Martial Artist—a decade, a hundred years, ten thousand years, a hundred million years!

After becoming a demigod, he found Earth again, but he didn't know that the temporal disturbance had taken him to 140 million years ago!

When he discovered Earth, it was still in the late Mesozoic, about 67 million years ago! Even though he could return to Earth, he couldn't reverse time. Humanity hadn't yet appeared!

To protect Earth, he used his immense power to safeguard the area, hoping to someday return to the world he knew.

Discovering this, Wang Genji's personality changed. The long life and endless years birthed in him a hobby: showing off!

He often disguised himself as a normal person living on a planet, using his powers to do all sorts of things. Controllers, Transcenders, the number who suffered under Wang Genji's hand was in the thousands.

But what could they do? He was a demigod, they couldn't beat him!

The most annoying part was that Wang Genji gained a rather potent secret technique from that relic. It wasn't powerful in combat, but it was unmatched for escaping. Even other demigods couldn't catch him. So far, he had never failed in showing off and thus earned the title "King of Showing Off."

But time was endless. He had forgotten the years, and unbeknownst to him, Earth's modern civilization had existed for thousands of years.

"So that's it! No wonder Earth, a planet like this, managed to stay hidden in the Milky Way for so many years without being discovered by cosmic civilizations. He was the one protecting it!" Xiao Yi realized.

"Interesting," Fang Jueyu said, feeling sympathetic for this guy after hearing his story. Living for so long without someone to talk to—that must be incredibly lonely.

"Since you're my student now, I'll definitely guide you. After all, we're both from Earth. Here at the Cosmic Federation School, I'll watch over you. No one will dare mess with you. Even the headmaster would have to think twice!"

Fang Jueyu had no doubts about this, judging from the other demigods' reactions. They clearly had a subtle fear of the King of Showing Off, Wang Genji.

"But what can you teach me? I'm a jack of all trades!"

"I can teach you how to show off and be shameless!" Wang Genji said. "I know, all those sham God Wealth civilizations are just made up by you, right?"

"Haha, you found out!" Fang Jueyu admitted. Such stories were too easily seen through by an Earthling.

"Your level of showing off is basic. It's child's play to me!" Wang Genji said proudly. "I've shown off more than you've eaten meals!"

"Wow, that's a bold claim!" Fang Jueyu thought he was pretty shameless, but Wang Genji truly lived up to his name, being even more shameless than him. "Then tell me, what is advanced showing off?"

"Dancing on a tombstone, drifting hearses, bathing with ashes, digging up ancestors' graves, murder, robbery, plunder... wait, no, I don't do such vile deeds..."

Fang Jueyu's mouth twitched. Digging up ancestors' graves wasn't vile enough?

"The key is, I get away scot-free after doing these things. That's been my biggest edge as the King of Showing Off in my travels!" Wang Genji spoke confidently.

"Do you know the four basic principles of showing off?"

"What?" Fang Jueyu had never heard of such a concept.

"First, never act on impulse when showing off. Second, never miss an opportunity to show off. Third, be clean, swift, and beautiful in your showing off. Fourth, make sure no one can beat you to death after showing off!"

"Why do these lines sound so familiar?" The image of the "Dragonfly Captain" popped into Fang Jueyu's head.

"It's a pity if you don't write a book," Fang Jueyu muttered. "Want me to contact the People's Publishing House for you?"

"Hahaha, I'm humbled," Wang Genji rubbed his head, showing no actual humility.

"From today, I'll teach you my ultimate skills!"

"What skills?"

"Escaping!"

"What the heck?" Fang Jueyu was stunned.

"I'm telling you, my escape techniques are unparalleled. There's absolutely no one in the world who can match me. Of course, you need to offer some benefits before I teach you!"

"What? Aren't you my teacher?"

"Have you ever seen a teacher who doesn't collect tuition? Our Cosmic Federation School isn't free education."

"Oh, come on, I've never heard of a school that charges!"

"That's the rule of the Show-Off Academy!"

"Why?"

"Because I can slap you to death with one hand!"

"...Alright, you win!"
