Thank you to the two grandmasters, [Just a Cricket].

That night.
7:50 PM.
The night had fallen.
People worldwide who were following the National Martial Combat Tournament were all watching live streams on various platforms.
In the living room of the Su family villa.
Qin Luo and Su Muwan were also sitting in front of the TV.
As per the introduction, the tournament would officially commence at 8:00 PM sharp!
On the screen, Li Mingyuan and Qian Duoduo were seated at the commentary desk.
He smiled at the camera.
"Welcome to the official live stream of the National Martial Combat Tournament!"
"So, we still have 10 minutes until the competition begins."
"I'd like Qian Duoduo, the tournament's sponsor, to say a few words to boost morale."
The camera shifted to Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo, blushing, nervously sat at the commentary desk, struggling for a while.
Then, in a soft voice, he said: "F..Fight..fight on.."
Clap clap clap clap!
Applause erupted.
Qian Duoduo, as if having accomplished a difficult task, let out a sigh of relief.
Su Muwan:......
Li Mingyuan seemed very pleased with this scene and smiled, nodding, saying: "Thank you for Qian Duoduo's encouraging words."
"Moreover, our live stream has invited three popular guests from various industries to join us."
Su Muwan was quite puzzled.
Why were there three popular guests?
Who were they?
The next moment.
A familiar figure appeared on the screen.
The person, with pink hair, energetically greeted: "Hello everyone!"
"I'm the special commentator, Yan Qiuyue."
Su Muwan:......
Oh, why is it Qiuyue?
Su Muwan remained silent.
She had a hunch that the next person she might also know.
As expected.
Another woman with golden hair and wearing black-rimmed glasses appeared on the screen.
She greeted: "Hello everyone, I'm the special commentator, Alicia."
Smack!
Su Muwan covered her face. Why are these two here?
And the third one....
"Hello, big brother and sister~!"
"I'm the special commentator, Su Bailian~"
Well, they're all old acquaintances.
The three of them sat at the commentary desk, smiling and greeting the camera.
In the various live streams, bulletins rolled across the screens.
"It's the Pure Love Warrior, Alicia! I have to watch this!"
"Wow! I'm so lucky, I got to see Teacher Yan on TV!"
"Hey, have you seen Yan Qiuyue's latest youth comedy?"
"The event organizers are quite savvy! They invited these two teachers!"
"Oh! And Su Bailian! Isn't she the TikTok influencer with a million followers! Why would the event organizers invite her?"
"Never mind why, I just feel like I'm in love."
"You'll only hurt yourself if you love everything."
So.
Su Muwan covered her face, speechless, and said: "Why would these three be in the official live stream together?!"
Qin Luo searched online and explained: "Because Alicia is a super popular novelist, so she's a special guest."
"Additionally, Yan Qiuyue recently starred in several hit movies, and with Alicia's recommendation, she also became a special guest."
"As for Su Bailian.......”
"Oh, because the young master of the tournament's investor likes Su Bailian, he spent a big sum to have her come as a commentator."
Hey! Could it be this random?
And is it a coincidence?
Are all three people I know?
Su Muwan was speechless.
Back on the screen.
Li Mingyuan's gaze landed on Su Bailian and the others, smiling: "We also welcome the three of you to be our special guests."
"There are only a few minutes left until the tournament officially begins."
"I'd like to ask the three of you, among so many contestants, who do you think has the best chance to win?"
As the question was posed, the comments, or "bullet comments," in various live streams kept scrolling.
Some said Yan Qiuyue must favor Mei Ziang, after all, he was her on-screen partner.
Others said Alicia would definitely favor the Western contestants.
After all, compared to in the East, Alicia was more famous in the West, with more fans.
Even some contestants were Alicia 's fans and pursuers.
Facing this question.
Su Bailian thought it was simple.
"Um........”
She lightly placed her finger on her lips, pretending to think.
As if she had thought of something.
"Ah, right!"
Su Bailian's eyes brightened, her hands crossed, sweetly looking at the camera: "Bailian thinks Zhuo Song has a good chance, oh."
"Oh?"
Li Mingyuan became interested and asked: "Why do you say that?"
Su Bailian, hearing this, blushed, her eyes avoiding the camera, softly said: "B..Because I looked at the contestants' information and thought Zhuo Song's swordsmanship was very cool."
Somewhere.
Zhuo Song, watching on screen Su Bailian mentioning himself, immediately clutched his chest.
His eyes shook.
Wasn't this the pretty girl from the lottery store before?
She... she wasn't only a tournament commentator but also mentioned him?
Most importantly, in this live broadcast, she mentioned his swordsmanship.
This would definitely draw more interest to his dojo.
This.. is simply his benefactor!
"Bai...Bailian.."
Zhuo Song murmured, not knowing why.
For some reason, he felt like he had found true love.
Su Bailian kept her blush on her face.
Hmm?
You ask why she mentioned Zhuo Song?
No special reason, just thought this particular contestant was the easiest to persuade.
As for the others?
Look at them, all vicious-looking, like the Kaiser Boxing King, do you think I would mess with anyone just like that?
Besides...
Why not mention Su Muwan and Qin Luo?
Joking, I bought a lottery ticket for Su Muwan to come first.
If everyone started targeting Su Muwan because of my words, what then?
Hmph! Right!
Su Bailian's eyes gleamed with joy. Everything was under my control!!
On the other side.
Yan Qiuyue and Alicia, hearing this question, exchanged glances.
The former pretended to think: "Hmm.....”
"To say who I think has the best chance... this is a bit difficult to choose."
Alicia nodded: "Many contestants are hot favorites to win, making it hard for me to choose one."
"But."
The two smiled at each other.
Then they took out a photo they had prepared in advance.
It was...
A photo of Qin Luo and Su Muwan spliced together!!
Waving the photo, they shouted: "We're Su Muwan's cheering squad, of course, we support Su Muwan and Qin Luo's duo!"
"Su Muwan! Su Muwan!"
"Qin Luo! Qin Luo!"
Li Mingyuan: "?? We're talking about who has the best chance, not who the best duo is..."
Su Bailian: ? Big sister, is it really okay to do this on live broadcast?
In front of the TV.
Su Muwan, cringing, covered her face in embarrassment.
"So embarrassing..."
Qin Luo chuckled: "Miss, you really have great sisters."
"Please don't mention it anymore..."
And as time passed.
Soon.
As the clock struck 8:00 PM.
The National Martial Combat Tournament! Officially began!
Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

Lying in a hospital bed, Jiang Liu listens to a parade of goddesses spouting "absurd claims," feeling like the world is one giant game of Werewolf. "Jiang Liu, I’m your first love." "Jiang Liu, you’re my boyfriend—she’s your ex." "Jiang Liu, we’re close friends who’ve shared a bed, remember?" "Jiang Liu, I want to have your baby."

Jiang Liu is utterly baffled. So... who the hell is his actual girlfriend?! ... Before recovering his memories, Jiang Liu must navigate this minefield of lies and sincerity, fighting to protect himself from these women’s schemes. But things spiral even further out of control as more people show up at his doorstep—each with increasingly unhinged antics. On the bright side, the memories he lost due to overwhelming trauma seem to be resurfacing. Great news, right? So why are they all panicking now?
