As the voice rang out, both Su Yang and Liu Bo turned their heads to look.
A girl sitting next to Deng Hao slowly stood up, casting a haughty glance at Su Yang as she said, "I'll compete with you."
"You?" Before Su Yang could respond, Liu Bo frowned and spoke first.
The girl smirked faintly. "What? Looking down on me?"
"Haha, not exactly looking down on you, but you're just a girl. Even if it weren’t my bro Su Yang, even my—no, even my buddy Meng could handle you with one hand. Just sit tight and don’t get involved."
While Liu Bo was talking, Su Yang wasn’t idle. If someone dared to challenge him, they must have some skills.
After all, he knew a girl with formidable combat prowess—Ye Wan.
He quickly queried in his mind:
—System, scan this girl.
[Li Shixuan, Age: 19]
[Height: 166cm]
[Weight: 55kg]
[Appearance: 80]
[Figure: 84]
[Combat Level: B, 76]
[Relationships: 0, Single]
[Fights Engaged: 0]
[Traits: Arrogant, Overconfident]
—Well, well? Didn’t expect that. Her combat level’s even slightly higher than Sha Fei’s.
—Could she be from one of those ancient martial arts families Ye Wan mentioned? Gotta test her out.
Just as Li Shixuan was about to retort at Liu Bo, Su Yang gave her a nod and a smile. "Sure, let’s compete~"
Hearing this, Liu Bo tilted his head in surprise. "Wait, bro, she’s a girl—you’re really gonna fight her?"
Su Yang chuckled and shook his head. "If she’s bold enough to say it, she must be trained. She’s not stupid."
"Oh? This girl’s trained?" Liu Bo turned to Li Shixuan, puzzled.
"Hmph, you’re so clueless, fatty. Learn from your friend here~"
"You—whatever, I won’t bother arguing with you." Liu Bo glanced at Su Yang. "I’ll head over there first, but bro, take it easy on her. I’m afraid you might accidentally kill her."
Su Yang rolled his eyes. "Relax, I know what I’m doing."
Once Liu Bo returned to the couch, Li Shixuan finally stepped in front of Su Yang, looking up at him. "You’re Su Yang, right?"
"Yeah."
"Didn’t expect you to have some skills. I’m Li Shixuan—heard of me?"
Su Yang pretended to think for a couple of seconds before replying, "Nope."
"You—fine. Then I’ll make sure you remember my name soon enough."
By now, Deng Hao had recovered. He patted Sha Fei’s shoulder reassuringly. "Don’t worry about it. Shixuan will avenge you, haha~"
"Shixuan might not be a match for this Su Yang..."
"Maybe, maybe not. Let’s see."
Meanwhile, Meng Wenzhou turned to Deng Hao. "Deng Shao, what was our agreement earlier?"
Deng Hao looked back at him. "What agreement?"
"Playing dumb now?"
"No, I just forgot, haha~ Relax, Meng Shao. There’s still a good show coming—let’s talk after they finish, alright?"
Meng Wenzhou smiled faintly. "Fine."
On the other side, Su Yang watched as Li Shixuan stood before him. "Let’s begin~ You go first."
"You sure?"
"Positive."
"Alright, don’t regret it." With a playful grin, Li Shixuan’s expression suddenly sharpened.
They were already close—about a meter apart—so grabbing Su Yang would be easy.
In an instant, she ducked low, wrapping her arms around Su Yang’s waist in an attempt to execute a wrestling takedown: the double-leg takedown.
Su Yang’s mind raced: ‘Damn, she’s going for groundwork?’
‘Seriously? I thought she’d be some badass ancient martial artist.’
Before he could dwell on it, Li Shixuan pressed her head against his stomach, her arms locked around his waist as she shoved him backward.
Su Yang was surprised. He hadn’t expected a girl barely over 160 cm and 55 kg to have such strength—she actually pushed him back a couple of steps.
Reacting swiftly, he gripped her arms and planted his feet, halting her momentum.
Once stabilized, he released her arms and instead wrapped his own around her surprisingly ample chest, then lowered his center of gravity, pressing his weight onto her back.
The clinch was set.
With a sudden heave, Su Yang lifted Li Shixuan like a ragdoll.
Holding her in the air, he twisted his body and dropped backward, slamming her toward the ground.
This was another common wrestling throw. While it wouldn’t cause severe injury, landing wrong—especially on the head or neck—could still take a toll.
But Li Shixuan’s combat level wasn’t just for show.
As Su Yang hurled her down, she twisted mid-air, spinning gracefully before landing in a controlled kneel, neutralizing the impact.
Without pause, she lunged again, this time diving for Su Yang’s legs.
Su Yang stepped back, but she was faster—grabbing his left leg and yanking him closer.
Using her body weight, she clung to his leg, trying to trip him.
Su Yang thought, ‘Damn, a girl playing dirty with groundwork?’
‘Fine, don’t blame me for what comes next.’
He pivoted sharply, swinging his right leg over to her left side, then dropped his weight, crossing his arms under her abdomen to pin her down.
On the couch, Liu Bo gaped in astonishment. "Holy crap! I should’ve gone up there myself!"
Meng Wenzhou smirked. "You? You’d be on your back in two moves."
"No way! I’m decent at wrestling—I love it, actually!"
"You wouldn’t love it once she chokes you out~"
Meanwhile, Su Yang had secured the dominant position, pressing Li Shixuan firmly to the ground. She remained calm, patiently seeking an escape—clearly confident in her grappling skills.
To her, the difficulty in breaking free was just due to the weight difference. At 55 kg against Su Yang’s 70+ kg, it was natural she’d struggle.
Her strength was impressive—even surpassing Sha Fei’s—but it still couldn’t match Su Yang’s.
While grappling techniques like wrestling or jiu-jitsu rarely led to quick knockouts, Su Yang’s sheer advantage in skill and power meant he could easily overpower her with brute force—locking her in a submission or raining down strikes from the top to end the fight.
But that would be too brutal.
Since she loved groundwork so much, why not indulge her? This was fun.
Li Shixuan seized an opening, twisting onto her back to face Su Yang. She planted her feet and pushed against the floor, trying to break free.
However, Su Yang wasn’t about to let her have her way. He seized Li Shixuan’s arms and swiftly flipped her over, pinning her down.
The two wrestled on the ground for a full minute, but Li Shixuan still couldn’t break free from Su Yang’s control.
In a grappling match like this, physical contact was unavoidable.
Li Shixuan’s face flushed crimson as she glared at Su Yang, panting heavily. "You’ve trained in ground techniques?"
Su Yang pressed down on her shoulders and smirked. "You have no idea. My ground game could choke out a bear. Trying to take me down? Heh, you’re way out of your league."
"You’re dead!" Li Shixuan snarled in frustration, yanking her arms free and wrapping them around Su Yang’s neck in an attempt to lock in a guillotine choke.
But even if Su Yang did nothing to resist, her strength wouldn’t be enough to do any real damage.
Su Yang decided he’d played around long enough.
In one swift motion, he jerked his head back, grabbed Li Shixuan, and rolled her over, flipping her beneath him.
Then, with practiced ease, he slid his arm around her slender neck—locking in a rear-naked choke.
Li Shixuan knew exactly what a rear-naked choke meant.
She fought desperately, using every ounce of strength to pry Su Yang’s arm away. But how could she possibly overpower hands that could subdue a bear?
Su Yang leaned close to her ear, his voice calm. "Relax. It’ll be over soon~"
As he spoke, his grip tightened gradually. Li Shixuan’s face twisted in pain, her skin turning a deep red.
She struggled for one last escape, but with a sudden surge of force from Su Yang, her mind went blank. Her arms went limp, and she slumped unconscious.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
