The encirclement begins.
All warriors are herded toward the central area.
"FK, who came up with this competition format? Encirclement shrinking? Isn't that just setting us up to fail?"
"Exactly."
"Su Muwan, with her high cultivation, shouldn't she be banned from the competition? How did she get in?"
"Exactly."
"Speaking of which, isn't it a bit too quiet here?"
"Exactly."
"???"
The warrior who was complaining froze. As he ran, he turned his head to look at the warrior next to him who had responded with a smile.
To his horror, the face of the person next to him was smooth like a mirror, devoid of any features, like a blank mask.
How did he speak then?
"Damn it!!!"
The warrior who turned his head went pale and screamed out loud. He immediately quickened his pace, trying to flee from the eerie "person."
However, just a few steps into his escape.
A low, eerie laughter echoed: "Heeheehee! Come play with me, little brother!!"
In that instant.
A pair of ice-cold hands covered the warrior's eyes.
His body stiffened.
He screamed in horror: "Save me——!!!"
Plop!
The bracelet fell to the ground.
At that moment.
Other warriors around also started to cry out in shock. Many stopped in their tracks and turned back to look.
They saw that their once-normal companions had all become blurry-faced, some emitting green light, others with terrifyingly distorted expressions.
Each of them gradually lost their human traits.
"Run! There are evil spirits here!"
Someone recognized what these creatures were and urgently warned everyone.
However, it was already too late.
Among the many warriors rushing toward the central area.
Quite a few had already been attacked by these invisible evil spirits. Their bodies stiffened, their movements slowed, some even collapsing on the spot, muttering incoherently.
Swish swish swish——!
Evil spirits filled the sky, scattering across the battlefield.
Yet, after scaring the warriors unconscious, they didn't harm them. Instead, they picked up the bracelets and handed them over to a figure floating in mid-air.
In the air.
A figure held the Ten Thousand Demon Banner in hand, with a glowing green orb floating on his shoulder.
It was Xiong Ha and his master, Su Muwan.
Xiong Ha lay on Su Muwan's shoulder, watching the bracelets collected by his underlings, and grinned: "Hehe, hand them over, you guys!"
"Underlings! Keep going! Help Brother Luo and Su Muwan collect all these trash's bracelets!"
"Yes!"
Meanwhile, viewers watching the live broadcast outside were equally shocked.
The scene showed warriors one after another experiencing various anomalies.
Some suddenly seemed to be controlled by invisible strings, moving awkwardly and stiffly.
Others were dragged by unseen forces, their bodies involuntarily moving toward a certain direction.
Some had vacant, lost expressions, mechanically removing their bracelets.
"What's happening here?!"
"Did something unclean get into the competition?"
The live chat exploded with messages!!
Viewers were excitedly commenting!
"This is what I live for! Score!"
Quick, quick! My friend works as an apprentice at Dragon Tiger Mountain, and he said his Taoist brothers are also watching the live stream!
"They're muttering about how there are so many evil spirits!"
"Ah? Are they going to come handle the evil spirits?"
"No, Dragon Tiger Mountain suddenly closed its doors. No one is allowed to come down the mountain."
"Oh, never mind then. I was worried the show would be over."
"You're practically the Grim Reaper, huh?"
Time ticked by, second by second. Any warriors heading toward the central area were attacked and invaded by the invisible evil spirits.
Sharp-eyed viewers also noticed that Jiang City's score was steadily rising during this time.
Could it be...
"No way, right?"
"Even ghosts are participating?"
"And Jiang City's ghosts at that..."
"Could it be... those ghosts resurrected from when Su Muwan threw them into the sea as shark food in previous years?"
"Might be!!!"
In the sky.
"What a ghost, indeed!"
Su Muwan held her phone, rolling her eyes at the malicious speculation from the fans.
She flipped her long, manicured nails and tapped away at the screen, engaging in an argument.
Although her reputation had turned around.
Su Muwan made it clear that she wouldn't stop fighting with her haters!
Qin Luo, beside her, sensed the evil spirits he had deployed. When he felt they were steadily collecting points.
He withdrew his attention and turned to Su Muwan, sitting on her throne, pouting as she argued with others online.
He chuckled, "Miss Su."
"Huh?"
"Don't forget to switch to your alt account."
"!!!"
"You didn't forget, did you?"
"Hehe...."
....
....
Time passed.
The sun rose.
The few remaining warriors, panting heavily, arrived at the junction of the Eastern Kingdom and the Western Kingdom.
——The Central City!
However, everyone discovered a cruel fact.
That was...
【City Rankings】
【NO.1: Jiang City 55,000 points】
【NO.2: Linhai City 100 points】
【NO.3:.....】
"???"
"Damn! What's the point of this?!"
"Seriously! Does the point gap have to be this ridiculous?"
"So all that effort to get here just to wait for Su Muwan to kill us?"
Everyone was in despair.
After all, they were high performers from all over the world, representatives of various factions.
Originally, they had thought to showcase their skills in the competition.
But...
What kind of outcome is this, then? Were they just running for no reason the entire night?
Wait...
The entire night?
One warrior's eyes widened, his voice trembling slightly: "In other words, Su Muwan is close to winning the competition in just one night?"
"Shit!!!"
Everyone suddenly realized and gasped in unison.
This was too strong, wasn't it?
Someone like her, with such strength, should be coming to this competition? Previously, no one had heard that Su Muwan was this powerful, right?
Uh...
Someone suddenly realized.
He explained, "Maybe it's because no one knew Su Muwan was really this strong before, so that's why she came to compete?"
"???"
"So we're basically sacrificial lambs?"
"Heaven, we're so unlucky this time. Just as the competition changes its rules, and there's also a Su Muwan in this edition??"
"And that Qin Luo! He even knows some shadow technique and those evil spirits! I saw a green-glowing evil spirit calling Qin Luo 'Brother Luo'!"
Everyone gave up.
Soon, the duo of Su Muwan and Qin Luo would arrive.
So...
Instead of resisting and being crippled in cultivation.
Isn't it better to surrender and suffer less pain?
In the official live broadcast room.
Yan Qiuyue also sighed and shook her head: "It seems the winner has already emerged."
"These people are powerless to resist."
At that moment.
Li Mingyuan, who had mysteriously returned to the live broadcast, pushed his glasses.
He fixed his gaze and asked: "Ms. Yan, do you think Su Muwan will win this competition?"
"What else?"
"Hehe, not necessarily. The true competitors of this competition haven't fully appeared yet."
"???"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
