Everyone was utterly shocked, as if the heavens had been overturned. Those present had truly witnessed history being made.
Seven Peak Realm late-stage powerhouses, and four of them had died overnight?!
Was Su Muwan really that terrifying?
At this moment, all the members of the major factions from Wang City who had come to attend the banquet wished they could jump into the sea and swim back.
Because...
The Su and Ning families had come to settle the score.
With the Old Heavenly Master gone and four Peak Realm powerhouses dead, the remaining heads of the families in Wang City were like fish on a chopping block, utterly defenseless.
One family head tried to sneak away.
*Slap!*
"!!"
He was immediately grabbed back by Su Ba.
Turning his head, the family head saw Su Ba's kind face as he pressed down on his shoulder, saying, "Hehe, Head of the Hong Family, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The Head of the Hong Family forced a nervous smile, "It's... it's getting late, I need to head back..."
"Oh~~"
Su Ba drew out his tone, then his expression darkened.
He roared, "What! Are you saying this old man is in the way here?!"
As he spoke, Su Ba gathered his energy and clenched his fingers.
*Crack!!*
The Head of the Hong Family's pupils contracted, and he let out a scream before collapsing to the ground. His shoulder was now visibly sunken.
"Su!! Old Master Su, please don't act recklessly!!"
Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened in fear, and they pleaded, "Su! Old Master Su, please calm down!"
It suddenly dawned on everyone.
Now that they were on this cruise ship, weren't the Su and Ning families the strongest forces left?
That meant... no, please no!
"Now you're scared?"
"Why didn't you hold back when you ganged up on my precious granddaughter from the Su and Ning families?"
Su Ba sneered, then turned to Old Master Ning, "Old Man Ning, what do you say? We're in international waters anyway, no one would know if we threw them all overboard."
Old Master Ning nodded, grinning, "Agreed."
"Wait! Wait! Old Master Su, remember? I once gave you the contact information for that old miracle doctor!"
"Shut up! I wasn't cured anyway!"
"What... so helping you doesn't count if it didn't work...?"
"What do you think?"
"We were wrong! We were blinded by greed! We were deceived by the Old Heavenly Master!"
"No—!"
"STOP! STOP!! I'm from the Bartlett family... gurgle..."
*Slap slap slap slap slap!!*
The sound of relentless beatings echoed.
Every family member on the ship was thoroughly thrashed by Su Ba and Old Master Ning.
Even the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain were not spared. Without the Old Heavenly Master, they could only endure the beating.
They were on the verge of tears.
Old Heavenly Master!
Why didn't you take us with you when you left?!
Suan Tianxing lay on the ground, trembling.
Thankfully, he had no presence now. After being invaded by evil energy, Suan Tianxing was completely powerless.
At that moment.
"Woof woof!"
The crisis was over.
Boqi trotted over to Suan Tianxing's face.
Damn dog, get away from me.
Suan Tianxing slightly opened his eyes, only to see Boqi lifting one of his legs.
His body shuddered. Wait... he's not going to...
The next second.
"Woof!"
*Sizzle sizzle—!*
"No....... gurgle..."
Suan Tianxing quickly shut his mouth.
His eyes were wide with rage. Being humiliated by Su Muwan and the others was bad enough!
But even a dog was bullying him now!
I! I was even publicly stripped of my Heavenly Master title!
I!
I can't live like this anymore!
Overwhelmed with anger, Suan Tianxing's eyes rolled back, and he passed out.
"Boqi, don't pee in such a dirty place!"
Bai Lian ran over and yanked Boqi's leash, dragging him back.
She looked around, pouting.
Yay yay yay!
Thank goodness, the crisis is finally over!! I still have so much money left to spend! I can't die yet!
Meanwhile.
The situation had settled.
[Congratulations, Master, for completing the cruise ship arc of *The Strongest Heavenly Master Plays in the City*!]
[Lackey Evaluation Score: SS-tier]
[Attribute Points Obtained: 10]
[Congratulations, Host, for damaging the Dao Heart of *The Strongest Heavenly Master Plays in the City* protagonist Suan Tianxing!]
[Reward Obtained: 5 Attribute Points]
Qin Luo nodded with satisfaction.
Excellent.
With this, including the previous 5 Attribute Points, Qin Luo now had a total of 20 Attribute Points.
After silently chanting,
*Hum!*
In an instant.
[All points have been allocated to Defense. Current Defense: 56!]
[Master has broken through to the late stage of the Mastery Realm!!]
*Boom!*
As the system's voice faded, Qin Luo's aura surged into the sky.
His cultivation had broken through!
Su Muwan looked at Qin Luo curiously, asking in surprise, "Qin Luo, did you level up?"
Qin Luo clenched his fist and nodded with a smile, "Just a small level-up, nothing major."
However, Qin Luo didn't expect that even after adding 20 points, he still hadn't reached the Peak Realm.
[Master is infinitely close to the Peak Realm. Only 5 more Attribute Points are needed to advance.]
5 Attribute Points?
Qin Luo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something. After some calculations, he turned his gaze to a certain spot on the cruise ship.
In the shadows.
Shangguan Chuxue's expression was stiff. She no longer found this amusing.
Are you kidding?
Peak Realm late-stage powerhouses were crushed like ants in an instant.
How could she still laugh?
And just look at Suan Tianxing!
He was lying on the ground like a pile of rotten meat, unconscious, being humiliated by a stray dog.
It was utterly absurd.
Shui Yue was also pale with fear, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably as she swallowed hard.
Is this a joke?
Did Su Muwan really resolve this deadly situation so easily?
Is she really that strong?
Shui Yue recalled how, back on the island, she had foolishly thought she could compete with Su Muwan...
Oh heavens.
Shui Yue was now grateful she hadn't acted on that impulse, or else she would have been turned into crushed ice long ago.
She whispered to Shangguan Chuxue beside her, trembling, "M-my lady, should we leave?"
Leave...
Shangguan Chuxue clenched her teeth. Honestly, this feeling was like preparing a lavish feast, only for the guests to run to the bathroom and declare that what they produced there was better than your cooking.
Damn it!!
This is my humiliation!
But!
Shangguan Chuxue adjusted her mindset. She took a deep breath, and her eyes gradually regained their confidence.
This isn't over yet.
Thanks to her ability to conceal her presence, no one had noticed her here so far.
Once she returned and reworked her plans, she would surely make a comeback!
"Let's go."
Shangguan Chuxue stood up proudly, letting out a light snort.
Su Muwan, don't get too cocky.
Next time, it will be your end!
However.
Just as Shangguan Chuxue stood up, suddenly!
A hand gripped her wrist.
Shangguan Chuxue was stunned.
Who is it?
She turned her head, only to see a face that made her expression freeze.
Qin Luo grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and said, "Fo~und~you~"
Shangguan Chuxue stiffened. How did he see me?
She instinctively spoke, "You..."
*Slap!!*
Before she could finish.
Qin Luo slapped her across the face.
"Ugh—!"
[Congratulations, Master, for performing a lackey act on *Back Then You Took My Marrow, Now Why Are You Crying?* T0 protagonist Shangguan Chuxue!]
[Attribute Points Obtained: 5!]
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?!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
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.
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!
