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!

[Five-Star Mission Issued: Capture the leader of the Blood Heaven Pirate Gang, who is on the run in the Radiant Star Sector. It is said the gang has over a hundred members. Proceed with caution.] Lu Xiaobai: "Councilor Dad, lend me the family's hundred-thousand-strong Lu Army!" [Seven-Star Mission Issued: Subdue a juvenile Void Dragon Beast.] Lu Xiaobai: "Councilor Dad, I'm taking your tamed Void Dragon Beast King out for a family reunion!" I said, System, don't you have any slightly more challenging missions? You're just not up to par! [Nine-Star Mission Issued: Become the Human Councilor.] Lu Xiaobai: "Dad, there's a small matter I'd like to discuss with you..."
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?!
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!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
