Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Jiang Zixuan's aura surged as he maintained an expressionless face, slowly raising his right hand.
He spoke coldly, "Since you're so determined to die, I'll grant your wish."
As soon as the words left his mouth.
Jiang Zixuan's figure vanished from his original position.
Whoosh!
In the next instant, he appeared behind Jiang Tianlin, his hand like a blade, striking directly at Jiang Tianlin's vulnerable neck.
Though Jiang Tianlin reacted quickly, he was still a step too slow.
Crack!
He barely managed to dodge the lethal strike by turning sideways, but his shoulder took a heavy hit, immediately followed by the sound of shattering bones.
"Ugh—!!"
Jiang Tianlin cried out in pain, stumbling backward.
His pupils contracted. What? I couldn't dodge it?
However, Jiang Zixuan didn't give him a chance to catch his breath.
In a flash, he appeared before Jiang Tianlin, raising his knee high.
Bang!
A fierce knee strike aimed straight at Jiang Tianlin's abdomen.
"Pffft!"
Jiang Tianlin took the heavy hit, his face contorting in pain.
His body curled up like a shrimp as blood spurted from his mouth.
Before he could regain his balance, Jiang Zixuan was already upon him, unleashing a barrage of lightning-fast punches and kicks.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Although Jiang Tianlin's initial trash talk made him seem formidable.
The current one-sided beating left the audience dumbfounded.
Come on, man, why did you talk big if this is all you've got?
Qin Luo, holding a microphone, took on the role of commentator.
He held it up and began narrating in a playful tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, what we're witnessing is an exceptionally brilliant one-sided beating performance, starring Jiang Zixuan with Jiang Tianlin as his supporting actor."
"Oh! Another beautiful straight punch from Jiang Zixuan, right to Jiang Tianlin's face!! I bet his teeth are in trouble now."
"Magnificent! A side kick from Jiang Zixuan straight to Jiang Tianlin's ribs. Wow, judging by that sound, I wouldn't believe it if less than three ribs were broken."
"Whoa! Jiang Zixuan just demonstrated a beautiful shoulder throw!"
"Jiang Tianlin was thrown to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I bet he's regretting all that pointless trash talk now."
Qin Luo's commentary, full of sarcasm and humor, made the surrounding crowd burst into laughter.
"Pfft, this guy is so funny! Can I get your WeChat?"
"I think Qin Luo is the most normal person in this whole selection tournament. I'm becoming his fan."
"That's right, Brother Qin Luo, I want to be your beauty fan!"
The audience in the stands cheered while comments scrolled rapidly in the livestream.
In the VIP area, Su Muwan's lips curled into a slight smile as she listened.
Hmph! My Qin Luo is just amazing!
But... could these little hussies stop calling him "brother" all the time?
Who do they think they are!
Thinking this.
Su Muwan angrily reached out and pinched Su Bailian's cheeks next to her, twisting hard!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Bunch of little hussies!"
"Wuwuwu!!"
Su Bailian was on the verge of tears from the pinching. Su Muwan!! You bully!
Bullying me again!!
Meanwhile, the female announcer was frantically looking at her script.
Ah... ah.. what am I supposed to do now?
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Jiang Tianlin was beaten until he was spitting blood, his face twisted in pain.
And in his ears rang Qin Luo's constant mocking and sarcastic commentary.
He was about to explode with anger.
But!
Bang!
Another powerful punch, pffft!
He threw his head back and spat blood, his eyes filled with shock.
No! Impossible!
How can the gap be so huge?!!
Am I... going to lose?!
Jiang Tianlin's eye twitched, and thud!
He was pummeled to the ground again by Jiang Zixuan.
Up in the stands, Jiang Xueqi was dumbstruck.
She clenched her fists tightly. How could this happen?
Why?
Huh?
Jiang Tianlin, how could you be so useless?
Didn't you say you would avenge your previous defeat this time?
I specially arranged this revenge match for you!
But! But you turned out to be such a waste?
Jiang Xueqi's face was filled with disappointment and anger.
She had spent countless resources and called in numerous favors to arrange for Jiang Tianlin to be paired with Jiang Zixuan.
But! But!! Jiang Tianlin!! You're such a waste!!
Jiang Xueqi was about to explode with anger.
But!
It's okay.
She still had a backup plan.
After all... the judges were all on her side!
Jiang Tianlin struggled to raise his head, his eyes full of disbelief and fear: "You... how did you..."
However.
Before he could finish.
Bang!
"Ugh—!"
Jiang Zixuan had already struck the back of his neck.
Jiang Tianlin's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed unconscious.
The entire fight lasted no more than five minutes before it was over.
Jiang Zixuan turned to Qin Luo and respectfully said, "Brother Luo, it's done."
Hearing this, Qin Luo nodded with satisfaction: "Well done."
Then, glancing at the fallen Jiang Tianlin, he said contemptuously, "Trash will always be trash, not even worth a warm-up."
The audience erupted in surprised cheers.
The female announcer finally came back to her senses.
She hurriedly swallowed and said, "The... the first match is over!"
"Please, judges, score the two contestants!"
Of course.
In her heart, she quietly thought, it's obvious who deserves to advance!
Just as she thought this.
Buzz!
Qin Luo pressed the button.
[Jiang Zixuan—10 points!]
[Jiang Tianlin—0 points!]
Seeing these results, Jiang Zixuan felt moved.
The audience had no objections either.
However!
What nobody knew was.
Among the three judges present.
The Divine Doctor and Elma had already been bought off.
The Divine Doctor wasn't surprised at all by Qin Luo's scoring.
After all, Jiang Zixuan had betrayed the Jiang family, so it was only natural for Qin Luo to give him full points.
But!
Too bad!
The Divine Doctor maintained a blank expression, but his heart was filled with malice.
Su Muwan!!!
This old man would rather bear the infamy!! Than let your team member advance!!
He screamed internally, knowing his actions were unfair.
But!!
This old man has been driven to such a state by that poisonous woman Su Muwan!
Not only did the Jiang family beg him to sabotage them!
Even he himself! Would never let that poisonous woman Su Muwan's people advance!!
In the VIP area.
Some wealthy spectators watched with amused expressions.
They elegantly sipped their wine.
How laughable.
This kind of competition, after being washed by time, had long since lost its purity.
Everything behind the scenes could be manipulated!
Even if the audience thinks this is rigged, so what?
No need to wait for the next tournament, even after a month, everyone will have forgotten about the rigging.
And they would be making a fortune behind the scenes.
The winner of this first match was actually predetermined.
Even though Jiang Tianlin fainted and was badly defeated, so what?
The final interpretation... lies with the judges!
Jiang Zixuan, moved, said: "Brother Luo...."
Qin Luo shrugged, glancing at the Divine Doctor and a certain cross-dressing judge, smiling lightly: "Don't worry, anyone here who isn't blind should know how to score."
"Don't you..."
Whoosh!
Qin Luo flashed next to the Divine Doctor, placing his hand on the other's shoulder, smiling kindly: "Don't you agree, Divine Doctor?"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
