She waved to the crowd with an extremely exaggerated gesture, her massive muscles undulating beneath her leopard-print tank top, creating a bizarrely jarring visual impact.
"I'm your little sweetheart Elma~"
She twisted her bulky frame and introduced herself in a sickeningly sweet voice: "Besides judging today, I'm also here to find my true prince charming~"
Everyone present was stunned into silence.
"Oh, don't be shy~"
Elma threw a flirtatious wink at a rather muscular man in the crowd: "Handsome, want to have a drink with big sister?"
The man's face instantly turned pale as he waved his hands frantically: "No... no thanks..."
Undeterred, Elma continued to strike various coquettish poses with her rugged physique, causing those around to struggle between wanting to laugh and not daring to, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
Just then, a voice rang out from the crowd: "Hey, do you know what you're doing is illegal? You're disturbing public order!"
Upon hearing this, Elma immediately dropped her coy expression, placed her hands on her hips, and shouted in a completely different, rough voice: "F**k! Which bastard said I'm breaking the law? Come out and fight me if you dare!"
*Hiss!*
The crowd covered their mouths and trembled.
Global audiences watching this selection tournament were also dumbfounded.
What the...!
Since when did this year's competition get so wild?
Can we get some normal people here?
Su Muwan frowned slightly from her VIP seat.
What kind of nonsense was this?
Next time, even if you pay me, this lady won't come!
*Click!*
The camera quickly cut away.
The commentator wiped her sweat, her hands trembling as she picked up her prepared script.
All the words of praise she had prepared were now stuck in her throat.
*Whimper* When I applied for this job, nobody said this year would be like this...
She glanced at her script and awkwardly announced: "Well... um, next up is our third judge.... um, Qin Luo."
As soon as the words left her mouth.
Qin Luo's face was projected on screen.
In that instant.
Everyone held their breath, their gazes completely captivated by the image before them.
The screen displayed a face that could only be described as perfect.
Deep eyes like the starry night sky, a high straight nose that carved out a perfect profile, thin lips slightly pursed, revealing a hint of an enigmatic smile.
His clearly defined jawline added a touch of determination to his face.
His skin was like the finest white jade, emanating a subtle glow under the sunlight.
His short black hair was slightly disheveled, yet perfectly captured an untamed charm.
Most striking was his demeanor, that exceptionally gentle aura that made people instinctively feel he was a good person.
The venue instantly erupted.
"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"
"So this is Qin Luo? He looks like he stepped right out of a novel!"
"I think I'm in love..."
"Hey! You're all just focused on his looks! I'm just glad we finally have someone normal this year!!"
The audience began screaming, some even fainting from excitement.
In the audience seats, some older viewers quietly praised: "Not just his looks, but that steadiness and confidence in his eyes is rare indeed."
Another agreed: "Indeed, just that aura alone is something ordinary people don't possess."
"Looks like... we have an upright judge."
The commentator also relaxed, phew... finally a normal judge.
The previous ones nearly scared her to death.
She flipped through her script and quickly announced: "Now! Let's welcome our first match contestants!!"
"Representing the Jiang family of Jiang City.... Jiang Tianlin!! He is the Hound Commander of the Dog Hunter Squad from the Martial Arts Alliance!"
"And his opponent... representing the Su family.... Jiang Zixuan!"
As the words fell.
Two figures walked in from their respective tunnels.
In the regular spectator stands.
Knowing Su Muwan was in the VIP area, Jiang Xueqi wisely chose to stay in the regular viewing section.
Now seeing the match begin.
She watched Jiang Zixuan on stage with venomous eyes.
Jiang Zixuan!
I'm so utterly disappointed in you!
First at the restaurant, you actually became that little tramp Su Muwan's lapdog!
And now this, as a member of the Jiang family, don't you feel any shame being announced as representing the Su family?
Hmph!
No matter!
In this competition, the Divine Doctor will surely give you low scores!
As for Elma from the Western Kingdom, heh, she's already been bought by me!
As for Qin Luo...
Jiang Xueqi wore a confident expression, what does it matter if you're a judge?
Two out of three judges are on my side.
This time!
This lady has the Warrior King title in the bag!!
On the competition ground.
Jiang Tianlin's aura was clearly more imposing than last time.
But his expression was darker.
Last time, he had his cultivation crippled by a corrupted Jiang Zixuan.
However!
Thanks to the Divine Doctor's intervention, not only was his original cultivation restored, but he was forcibly advanced from early Advanced Realm to mid Advanced Realm!
The price, though, was devastating - he would never be able to progress beyond mid-realm in this lifetime!
But!
It was all worth it!!
Because...
Jiang Tianlin glared hatefully at the calm-faced Jiang Zixuan before him, shouting: "Jiang Zixuan! When you crippled my cultivation as Su family's lapdog, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
"I sacrificed my potential to stop at mid-realm!"
"For one purpose! To cripple your limbs! To destroy your dantian!"
Since this was being broadcast live.
The female commentator wiped cold sweat and nervously said: "It seems contestants Jiang Tianlin and Jiang Zixuan have quite a history of grievances."
"But we don't allow killings in our competition arena."
"We are a green, positive energy competition."
Then, the commentator emphasized: "But crippling limbs and destroying dantians is allowed, okay."
Qin Luo felt somewhat speechless hearing this, wondering if this world was stranger than he had imagined.
Oh well.
He tapped the microphone in front of him, speaking toward Jiang Zixuan while giving a contemptuous look at the disgruntled Jiang Tianlin.
He waved his hand dismissively and said: "Jiang Zixuan, don't waste words with this trash, finish him off in two or three moves."
"This sun is going to ruin my complexion."
Hearing these words.
Jiang Zixuan respectfully nodded: "Yes, Brother Luo."
Then he looked at Jiang Tianlin and said coolly: "Jiang Tianlin, if you kneel down now, I can make your crippling less painful."
!!
Jiang Tianlin's eye twitched hearing this.
His expression twisted as he furiously shouted at Jiang Zixuan: "Arrogant!"
"Jiang Zixuan, do you think you're that strong?!"
"You dare make sister Xueqi so heartbroken, this time!"
"This Commander will make you kneel and beg for mercy in tears!"
With that.
*Boom!*
His aura erupted forth, and the battle was about to begin!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
