Zhao Tianyang's figure disappeared at the end of the mine shaft.
Zhang Kui stood rooted to the spot. His rugged face flushed red with excitement as he muttered incessantly.
It worked! It worked! It really worked this time!
Once he finishes verifying it, he will definitely bring back a witness.
Brother Su! No! Steward Su!
That will be your chance to escape!
Just then, the forgotten Qin Feng on the ground slowly woke up.
Clutching his splitting headache, he looked blankly at this scene of brotherly love unfolding before him, his mind a complete mess.
What happened?
Wasn't I about to die again?
How am I alive?
And, steward?
Who is the steward?
When his gaze finally landed on Su Ji, Qin Feng's pupils violently shrank.
He... he actually became a steward?!
An indescribable sense of absurdity and defeat instantly overwhelmed him.
He considered himself a heaven-chosen genius, taking every step carefully, putting on an act for so long, only to end up as a stepping stone under someone else's feet, a test subject to be discarded at will.
Yet this seemingly reckless Su Hao, who had shown off his sharp edges on the very first day, had ascended to the heavens in a mere three days?
On what grounds?!
Brother Zhang, about this matter... I think it's better to wait until Old Zhao returns and discuss it at length.
Zhang Kui glanced at Qin Feng. It was true; with an outsider present, it really wasn't a good time to discuss things.
Alright then!
After saying that, he grabbed Su Ji without a word of explanation and dragged him toward the overseers' residential area.
Let's go, let's go, Steward Su, let me first take you to see your new living quarters!
That place is far better than the shacks us rough men live in!
Half-dragged and half-pulled, Su Ji had no choice but to follow along. Before leaving, he glanced back at Qin Feng, who was still standing there dumbfounded.
...
Zhao Tianyang left again.
This time, he left soundlessly. Besides Zhang Kui, no one even knew when he had departed.
Su Ji sat in a residence that was noticeably several times larger than the other shacks, even featuring a small courtyard.
The expression on his face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
He was anxious.
Seriously?
He still needs to verify it?
I've put on such a great act for you, and you still need to go invite outside help?
Isn't being able to neutralize the baleful aura enough?
Does it have to be the Flawless Body?
This old geezer... he won't release the eagle until he sees the hare.
Senior Brother, what are you thinking about? Su Jiu's slightly worried voice echoed in Su Ji's mind.
Has my acting gotten worse? How could I fail to bluff a wretched old man?
It's not a problem with your acting, Su Jiu's voice was soft. To Zhao Tianyang, someone who can neutralize the baleful aura and someone who possesses the Flawless Body to neutralize the baleful aura are two entirely different concepts.
The former might let him see a glimmer of hope to leave this place, but the risks are immense.
But the latter... Su Jiu paused. The latter represents a key, a unique key that can unlock the deepest secrets of this forbidden zone.
He doesn't dare to gamble, nor can he afford to. Therefore, he must be one hundred percent certain that you are that key.
Listening to Su Jiu's analysis, the irritation in Su Ji's heart grew even thicker.
He let out a long sigh and slumped into the stone chair, looking completely devoid of the will to live.
Junior Sister, look...
His voice carried a sense of self-abandonment and powerlessness.
As things stand, you might... really have to help me fake that Flawless Body thing.
In his mind, Su Jiu remained silent for a long time.
Su Ji could even imagine her current expression, both ashamed and annoyed, yet utterly helpless.
Finally, a voice as quiet as a mosquito's buzz sounded again.
...Alright.
Receiving a positive answer, Su Ji's spirits lifted, and he immediately sat up straight in his chair.
In his mind, he involuntarily recalled the words Su Jiu had said before.
When things reach their extreme, they reverse; isolated Yin does not grow, and isolated Yang does not arise.
It means that when a man and the possessor of the Flawless Body... harmonize their Yin and Yang... he might temporarily retain a faint aura of the Flawless Body...
So theoretically, if the number of times Yin and Yang are harmonized within a short period reaches a certain amount... one can possess most of the characteristics of the Flawless Body for a few days.
Theoretically feasible!
Su Ji's eyes lit up.
He rubbed his hands together, his face showing an eager excitement.
Um... Junior Sister.
Su Ji cleared his throat and spoke cautiously, using a negotiating tone.
That short period you mentioned, exactly how many days is that?
And that certain amount of times, exactly how many times is it?
In his mind, Su Jiu fell silent again.
This time, the silence lasted even longer.
Just when Su Ji thought she was going to back out, that somewhat reluctant voice sounded once more.
Probably... within seven days.
As for the number of times... at least, it has to be ten times.
Ten times?
Ten times in seven days?
Su Ji counted on his fingers.
That's an average of less than twice a day.
It seems... that's not something too hard to accept.
He was even looking forward to it a little bit?
The clouds on Su Ji's face instantly cleared up, and his previous gloominess was swept away completely.
He chuckled, in a great mood.
I thought it was some big deal, but it's just this?
His relaxed demeanor seemed to have provoked Su Jiu.
Her faint voice suddenly rose a few pitches, carrying a sense of gritted-teeth shame and indignation.
But!
That is referring to a situation where the Flawless Body has already reached great completion!
I... my physique is nowhere near that strong right now!
The smile on Su Ji's face froze.
So...
He had a bad premonition.
Su Jiu's voice, at this moment, became unexpectedly calm, a sort of reckless calmness as if smashing a cracked pot to pieces.
So...
At least... it will have to be at least a hundred times!
Boom!
Su Ji felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his brain.
His face, which had just bloomed into a smile, instantly petrified. His mouth slowly opened wide, and his eyes bulged out roundly.
H-how many?!
His voice was slightly distorted due to extreme shock.
Say that again?!
How many?
A hundred...
Su Ji looked up at the sky in a daze: A hundred times, a hundred times?
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold. For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan. She laid down beside him in a cold coffin, their fingers intertwined, a smile lingering on her lips as she closed her eyes. The noble and cold-hearted woman, only bending for one man—Lin Xuan.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
