Shocking!
All of Jiang City is ecstatic!
With the announcement of the competition results, the public perception of Su Muwan has completely reversed!
"Shift!"
"Su Muwan dragged our city to the bottom! I'm turning against her!!"
"Hehe, those above, if you're bad, practice more. Why don't you produce a Su Muwan yourselves?"
"Exactly!"
"Anyone who dares to speak ill of Miss Su again, don't blame us Jiang City folks for being unfriendly!"
"That's right! If anyone dares to badmouth Miss Su, I wouldn't mind destroying the world!"
"Destroy the world +1"
"Destroy the world +2"
"Eh, I just realized, it seems like the individual rankings and city rankings changed in the last second."
"Right, I guess there were still a lot of people who weren't eliminated."
At the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance.
In the R&D department.
Li Mingyuan's face darkened as he looked at the data collection on the screen.
The main purpose of this competition was actually to collect a series of combat data to improve the experiments in the R&D department.
But...
[Data Corrupted]
"Su Muwan..."
Li Mingyuan took a deep breath, his eyes dark.
The data corruption must be due to Su Muwan's overbearing ice qi, which destroyed all the instruments.
Damn...
All the precious experimental data is gone!
Nearby.
A little boy licking a lollipop rode over on a mini spaceship.
He glanced at the damaged experimental data, shrugging, "What’s the plan now, Uncle Li? When are we going to meet this Su Muwan?"
"Not yet."
Li Mingyuan inhaled deeply, lightly tapping the table. In the next moment, images of Qin Luo, Su Bailian, Boqi, Su Ba, and others associated with Su Muwan appeared on the screen.
The boy glanced at them, confused. "Why is there a dog?"
"Don't focus on the small stuff."
Li Mingyuan said, staring at Qin Luo's portrait, "It's almost certain that Su Muwan is an Untamed."
"And from my observation, she seems to trust this Qin Luo guy quite a bit."
"So..."
The boy understood, "So Uncle Li, you want to use Qin Luo to threaten Su Muwan into joining the alliance?"
"No."
"Threats won't work on someone like Su Muwan, an Untamed."
"After all..."
Li Mingyuan pushed his glasses, confident, "Qin Luo is just a sidekick, even if he's currently well-liked by Su Muwan."
However... if someone were to use Qin Luo as a leverage to threaten her, she'd undoubtedly be the most alert (or awake) one.
"Therefore, we not only can't threaten, but we must also show goodwill to Qin Luo, offer him power, and bring him into the alliance! Turn Qin Luo and make him the intermediary between the alliance and Su Muwan!"
"If we can get Su Muwan to join us through a gentle approach, that would be the best outcome."
"But if she refuses to cooperate, then..."
Li Mingyuan's eyes darkened, "Eliminating a potential danger to the world would be something the alliance can easily handle."
The boy clapped.
"As expected of Uncle Li."
Li Mingyuan had his considerations. If he hadn't seen Su Muwan's overwhelming combat power, he would have immediately forced her to join the alliance with a tough stance. But...
Having witnessed her advanced abilities, a softer approach was now necessary.
"Oh, and."
Li Mingyuan turned to say, "Remember to take over the Qian Family's various assets later."
"Uh..."
The boy scratched his cheek awkwardly, "About that... the Qian Family already migrated to Jiang City not long ago..."
"Yes, to Su Muwan's turf..."
"?"
Li Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then his face turned sour.
He muttered under his breath, "What a bunch of idiots, thinking Su Muwan would protect them just because they're in Jiang City?"
"Don't be ridiculous, even Su Muwan wouldn't risk angering the alliance for the Qian Family!"
The boy nodded, "Your meaning is..."
"Temporarily leave the Qian Family alone. Focus on turning Qin Luo first."
"Oh."
Just then.
An employee rushed in, panic-stricken, holding a device.
He shouted, "Not good! Someone won the jackpot!"
"? Won it? How much?"
"The biggest jackpot ever!!! The funds from Jiang City's lottery pool aren't enough!!!"
"???"
"The head of the Jiang City alliance branch is asking if we can transfer funds over!"
"???"
"If we don't act now! The Jiang City alliance branch will have to sign a debt treaty with Su Muwan!!!!"
"??? Ridiculous! Who could force him to sign something like that??"
"Qin Luo is forcing him to sign!"
"???"
Li Mingyuan's pupils dilated, letting out a piercing scream, "Open the teleportation channel! Hurry up and send me over!!!"
These people in Jiang City are outlaws, aren't they?!
What is this nonsense?!
...
....
In Jiang City.
At the alliance branch.
"Wahhh! Please, Master Qin! I’m your fan!"
"Don’t make me sign this! I’ll die!"
The head of the Jiang City alliance branch, a well-dressed man, was sobbing helplessly on the table, his hand being forced by Qin Luo to sign the "Debt of Twenty Trillion for Jiang City Alliance Branch" document.
"Since you're my fan, you should sign even more!"
Qin Luo smiled as he made the man sign the debt treaty.
Su Muwan sat nearby, sipping on her little milk tea, feeling despondent.
Ah.
Back in my previous life, I diligently managed companies and ran businesses.
Yet...
All I got in return was hundreds of billions in debt.
But!
Qin Luo just cheats a little, and he earns twenty trillion?
This...
Su Muwan felt her brain malfunctioning. Why are you so over the top?
Pop pop!
Qin Luo flicked the debt treaty, then smiled at the weeping branch head sitting in the chair.
He stepped forward, removed the man's name tag, and read, "Bai Wengang..."
Looking up at the man, he asked, "What’s your relationship to Bai Yunfeng?"
Bai Yunfeng, the master of formations Qin Luo had found for the Sky Dream Tree.
Bai Wengang sobbed, "H-he's my grandfather..."
"Well, well, so you're that well-connected?"
"Y-yes... this branch head position was also arranged by my grandfather in exchange for..."
"For what?"
"My grandfather gave the alliance a protective formation that can withstand attacks from Peak Realm experts."
Qin Luo understood. No wonder this branch head was so young.
Su Munwan twitched her lips.
Why are you two chatting like that?
At that moment.
Clang!
"Miss Su, please stop!"
The door opened.
Li Mingyuan rushed in with a group of people, flustered.
Sipping her milk tea, Su Muwan slowly raised an eyebrow.
What did I do now??
Li Mingyuan caught his breath, his gaze shifting from Su Muwan to Qin Luo and Bai Wengang.
When he saw the debt treaty in Qin Luo's hand, his vision darkened.
Bai Yunfeng!! Look at what your grandson has done!!
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ...

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
