It's over, everything is over.
Su Muwan felt like there was no hope left in life.
She curled up on the sofa, her eyes shamefully fixed on the ceiling.
Sigh.
How did she end up so exposed?
The two people in the small group chat had already discussed it heatedly.
They were coming to visit her this week, and while they were at it, they planned to impart some love advice.
But...
Alicia giving advice was one thing, but what about Yan Qiuyue? Had she even been in a relationship before? How could she be giving advice??
Forget it.
Su Muwan sighed, sneaking a glance at Qin Luo, who was watching TV.
Hehe, why does Qin Luo look so good no matter what?
Is this what they call "love makes everything beautiful"?
Well... not that Qin Luo wasn't already good-looking.
Tsk tsk, if I were with Qin Luo, wouldn't I get to play with his hands every day?
[Loyalty +1]
[Loyalty +1]
Qin Luo: .....
He stared at the TV, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Being stared at so intently by Su Muwan was really starting to get to him.
So, he turned his head to look at her.
But...
Whoosh!
Su Muwan instantly averted her gaze.
Qin Luo: ....
He looked away.
Whoosh!
Su Muwan was staring at him again.
Alright, as long as the young miss is happy.
At that moment.
A dazzling light effect appeared on the TV.
Then, a host's voice came through.
[Hello, dear viewers! The most exciting moment of the year is almost upon us!]
[The Universal Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin!!]
[This tournament brings together the most talented individuals from around the globe! No matter who you are, this is the stage to showcase your strongest self! Whether it's strength, speed, skill, or intelligence, this is the ultimate platform to shine!]
As the host passionately narrated.
The screen began playing highlights from past tournaments.
Qin Luo watched the footage.
He had a feeling something was about to happen.
"Universal Martial Arts Tournament?"
"Don't change the channel, Qin Luo."
Su Muwan, hearing the familiar term, immediately sat down next to Qin Luo.
She intentionally placed her hand over Qin Luo's, which was holding the remote.
Then, she focused intently on the screen.
The Universal Martial Arts Tournament... Qin Luo's hand is so warm... cough.
I remember in my past life, this tournament was sponsored by some family or another.
[This year's Universal Martial Arts Tournament is generously sponsored by top families from around the world, with the scale and prize money reaching unprecedented heights.]
The screen displayed the emblems of several representative families.
Then came a series of introductions of the major sponsors.
After introducing each family.
The camera switched to a massive weapons factory, with a coin-shaped family seal above the entrance.
Inside, machines roared as workers busily produced high-tech weapons.
[Finally, our biggest sponsor for every tournament—the Qian Family!]
[This year, the Qian Family will also send their top members to compete! Stay tuned!]
[Additionally, the minimum cultivation requirement for registration is the early stage of the Foundation Realm!]
[The winner will not only receive a hefty prize of 2 billion, but also get to use the Qian Family's talent breakthrough technology once!]
[Registration is available on the Douyin platform, and specialized staff will visit to verify cultivation levels!]
The footage began replaying.
Qin Luo switched channels, but the same ad was playing on another station.
Seems like the sponsors had bought out all the ad slots.
But...
The Qian Family...
Qin Luo seemed to recall something, and he turned to Su Muwan to ask, "Young Miss, do you remember Qian Yu, the eldest son of the Qian Family?"
"They seem to be the biggest sponsors of this tournament."
Speaking of Qian Yu.
From what he remembered, although Qian Yu didn't have much talent in martial arts, he was the only T0-level destined prodigy.
Being T0-level, he must have something extraordinary about him.
Interesting.
It's been a while since he last appeared.
As a destined prodigy, if he hasn't come to provoke the main antagonist yet, it must mean he's been quietly building up his strength.
Hearing this, Su Muwan frowned, her face showing a mix of confusion and unease.
Ugh, with so much going on, Su Muwan had almost forgotten about Qian Yu.
After all, she had thoroughly offended him before.
But since he hadn't appeared, she had gradually forgotten about him.
But!
According to the usual tropes, or given her nature as the main antagonist.
Now that his family was appearing so frequently, it meant...
This T0 destined prodigy was about to make his move!
For some reason, Su Muwan had this premonition!
She nodded, "I remember."
Qin Luo blinked, "Should we sign up?"
"If the Young Miss participates, winning the prize would be as easy as taking candy from a baby."
"By then, your reputation and popularity would skyrocket, and you'd become a global superstar."
Hearing this, Su Muwan, who had been considering whether to get involved, suddenly perked up, "Huh?"
A superstar?
But...
Her mind couldn't help but drift back to her past life.
Yes, indeed.
"Heaven does not birth Su Muwan, and the martial world remains in eternal darkness."
This was the line she had shouted in front of the TV cameras during the tournament.
Her goal had been to become famous, to bask in the spotlight.
But...
The result had been disastrous.
Thinking back now...
Su Muwan covered her face, so embarrassing.
How could I have been so cringy?
Come on, I've lived a second life, I'm past that cringy phase now!
Besides, Su Muwan knew all too well.
With her kind of constitution, she attracted hatred wherever she went, let alone at a tournament gathering the world's elite talents.
If she went, wouldn't she just be surrounded and attacked?
It wouldn't be a martial arts tournament anymore, but some kind of "Exterminate Su" battle....
So!
Su Muwan sighed lightly, looking sincerely at Qin Luo, she patted his shoulder and said, "Qin Luo, it's the era of the young now."
"If I join this tournament, wouldn't I just be bullying them?"
"So, this tournament, I'll just..."
[Hello, ladies, who do you think will win this tournament?]
[The winner?]
[Definitely our Mei Mei! Handsome and highly skilled!! I saw his Weibo post! He's signing up for this year's tournament!]
[Ah! Are you from the TV station? Mei Ziang! Mei Ziang! Mom loves you!]
[Haha, you ladies are very enthusiastic. Have you heard of the Young Miss Su from Jiang City? Rumor has it her cultivation has reached unprecedented heights.]
[Su Muwan? Hahaha, I'll just say this—no offense, but old lady, it's the young people's era now. You should just stay home and rest.]
[A young miss from some small-town family, claiming she can defeat peak-level experts with a glance? Please, at least make the acting believable.]
[There was this so-called master who kept posting videos of knocking his disciples flying from a distance, but he was later exposed as a fraud. Nowadays, it's all scripted!]
[Haha, if you could say one thing to your chosen candidate, what would it be?]
[Mei Ziang!! Defeat Su Muwan!!]
[...]
The street interview continued.
Meanwhile, Qin Luo felt the temperature around him dropping rapidly.
He gulped and turned to look at Su Muwan.
She was glaring at the TV, gritting her teeth and muttering, "I was just born a bit earlier!!!"
"The future may belong to the young, but now!!"
"It's my era, Su Muwan's era!"
Su Muwan was trembling with anger, "Qin Luo! Sign me up!"
"The first thing I'll do is turn Mei Ziang into Mei Ziang pancake!!"
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, "Understood, Young Miss."
An angry Su Muwan was, in short, utterly adorable.
At the same time, a system notification popped up.
[Detected the "Urban God of Wealth" Universal Martial Arts Tournament plot!!]
[Please ensure the host wins the championship, or help the antagonist win!]
[Upon completion of this plot, a system upgrade will be initiated!]
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?!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
