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."
"???"

To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
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!
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?!
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
