Urban Mass Collapse

First, let me make a statement.

Li Mingyuan's primary purpose in participating in the National Martial Clash Tournament was actually to gather more detailed combat data on Su Muwan.

However, this doesn't mean the data of others can be neglected.

But..

"Ah! Shanghai has fallen! Too fast!"

"Oh no! Tianyuan City has also fallen! How did Muwan teleport there?!"

"Good grief! Qinghe City is gone too!"

Yan Qiuyue's mouth gaped open, her eyes filled with shock as she gazed at the screen where one city after another had their points reset to zero.

No way, right?

She's the commentator! How come all that’s left now are just kill reports?

Su Muwan and Qin Luo... how are they zipping between cities like this?!

Everywhere they go, the city freezes into an icy cityscape in an instant!

Alicia also pulled out her little notebook to jot down the scenes unfolding before her.

Ugh!

Is this even different from a nightmare scenario?

They show up in every city and start a 10-second countdown.

Drop your bracelet and withdraw, or keep it and lose your cultivation.

This!

This is just too damn extreme!

How is anyone else supposed to play this game?!

As for Li Mingyuan, he was clutching his headset, his expression somewhat gloomy.

[Director Li... Director Li, it's not looking good! Those two have gone berserk! Every city they visit, all the data for that city crashes!]

[All the combat data we've collected... destroyed!]

Besides the frantic voices of the data collectors.

[Nancheng City points reset.....]

[Feng City points reset...]

[Qianlong City points reset...]

[Ning City.....]

Boom——!

The headset exploded.

"Uh... Mr. Li, are you okay?"

Yan Qiuyue and Alicia heard the commotion and turned to look at Li Mingyuan hesitantly.

Mr. Li?

The latter was nursing his bleeding left ear, his eye twitching.

He fell silent.

His gaze turned back to the live broadcast of the two.

A sinking feeling overcame him.

Qin Luo, being a sidekick, was able to possess such strength, which must be thanks to the assistance of Su Muwan, the Overlord.

Due to the interference of her domain, the combat data detectors on the bracelets all failed.

This resulted in their every arrival in a city causing all the data there to be cleared.

Su Muwan...

You truly are something.

Perhaps... it's time to let those guys out.

Li Mingyuan thought, then fished out another headset from his pocket. He put it on and murmured softly, "Shrink the circle!"

At this very moment.

Wang City.

Boom!!

"Uh——!"

A burly figure grunted in pain, stumbling back several steps before leaning against a wall.

Biting his lip to endure the pain, he cradled his heavily struck chest.

He lowered his head, managing a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

After inhaling deeply to regain his composure, he straightened up, eventually conceding to the figure in front of him, "I lose, Ye Qun, the gem of the Ye Family, you truly are stronger than me."

He tossed his bracelet to the other.

Ye Qun caught the bracelet, standing proudly before the defeated opponent, remarking coldly, "I'll give you time to catch up. Hopefully next time we meet, you can last three more rounds with me."

"......."

The defeated man's cheek twitched, bowed slightly, then dejectedly walked away.

[Heh, Little Ye, your Taigu Xuan Tian Jue has reached a new level again.]

Hearing the voice in his mind, Ye Qun's lips curled slightly.

He chuckled, "Master, my talent speaks for itself. Once I break through to the realm of Rebirth, it will be the day I rebuild the Taigu Xuan Sect!! And I will definitely restore your physical form for you!"

[You show great heart, Little Ye. But for now, focus on accumulating battle experience through this tournament.]

[The Age of Decline is coming to an end. When ancient ruins begin to appear, those grand opportunities will help you dominate the next era!]

When he heard about dominating an era.

Ye Qun's eyes burned with fervor.

His master's spirit resided in the ring on his finger; a powerhouse from ten thousand years ago, privy to many hidden secrets.

And he himself... was the master's only successor!

When the Age of Decline ended, he would seize the opportunity, then....

His expression darkened as an image flashed through his mind.

Su Muwan!! That vicious woman!!

You stole my family's fortune! Humiliated my older brother! Dishonored my sister! Disgraced my younger brother!

Everything you've done... I will reclaim it all!!

"Unfortunately, I'm in Wang City while she's in Jiang City. Otherwise... I would have to personally see what Su Muwan is made of!"

Ye Qun clenched his fist, his eyes filled with disdain for Su Muwan; "I want to see if she’s really as legendary as people say!"

Noticing Ye Qun's obsession.

The spirit within the ring sighed softly.

[Little Ye, why waste your energy feuding with someone destined to be swept away by the tides of time?]

[You are fated to dominate an era, while she, Su Muwan, is merely a prodigal of this Age of Decline.]

[Your true opponents in the future will be those of even higher status and greater power!]

Upon hearing this.

Ye Qun furrowed his brows, but they quickly relaxed.

He took a deep breath, his gaze firm: "You're right, Master. Why should I bother with someone who will soon become a stepping stone for me."

"Whether she can even reach the finals of this tournament is uncertain."

[Haha, Little Ye, your understanding is commendable.]

Just as the words fell.

[10......]

[9.....]

A sudden countdown appeared.

Ye Qun was startled, asking instinctively, "Master? Is that you counting down?"

[? No.]

The spirit was equally puzzled. Suddenly!

His expression changed dramatically, exclaiming in shock, "No good! This is a Domain!!"

"???"

Ye Qun blinked, about to ask what a Domain was.

A light laugh echoed from above.

"Time's up~"

"Everyone in Wang City, goodnight."

Ye Qun snapped back to his senses, raising his head to look above, instantly dumbfounded.

Nine Ice Dragons had suddenly appeared above Wang City.

They pulled an Ice Throne.

Above it sat a cold beauty, who gently raised her hand.

Rustle—!!!

Extreme cold surged.

Everything in sight turned into ice sculptures.

Countless martial artists caught in battle froze on the spot.

What’s up, bro?!

Would it hurt to tell us what the countdown is for first?!

"This is....."

Ye Qun had just begun to speak.

Crack!!

And instantly transformed into an ice statue.

His pupils dilated in shock.

Who is this?!

Meanwhile.

On Douyin's city point rankings.

[Dingdong~]

[Wang City points reset!]

Following the AI voice notification, Jiang City's points soared to an unprecedented 20,000!

More importantly, checking individual points.

Su Muwan claimed the top spot!! Totaling over 10,000 points!

Qin Luo came in second, sharing a few thousand points!

Everyone was stunned!

It's not even 11 a.m. yet!

Did you two just quick-clear the entire tournament?!

What's the point of us playing then?!
