Two hundred spirit cores.
But after the fierce competition, a total of seventy people advanced!
For example, someone like An Yi, who alone obtained five spirit cores.
There were also a few others who, relying on exceptional strength, had slain two or three demon beasts.
Via from the Ghost Hand clan, with the heaviest killing intent, slaughtered a full seven spirit core beasts before choosing to stop.
Finally, he cast a provocative look towards An Yi, clearly having marked him as a competitor.
Damn it, this kid is just asking for a beating, daring to look at the Boss with that kind of eye!
Han Liang stepped forward, furious, rolling up his sleeves as if ready to make a move to finish off Via.
After striking a pose for a while and seeing that An Yi didn't stop him, Han Liang spat in resentment: Just looking at him, he's trash, can't be bothered to lower myself to his level!
An Yi's attention, however, was on another figure shrouded entirely in a cloak: Changfeng, who is that person?
Gu Changfeng followed An Yi's gaze.
That person's features were indistinct, but his physique was quite burly. Even with the cloak blocking the view, one could sense an extremely robust build.
Gu Changfeng shook his head: Don't know him, haven't seen this person before.
An Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, instead revealing a trace of seriousness.
This feeling... he seemed to have encountered it somewhere before.
Chi Xiao?
For some reason, he suddenly thought of that person from the Hundred Ghosts Sect who had already died.
After the qualifying round ended, everyone gathered at the high platform.
The elder Xu Kang slowly walked before the crowd and said leisurely: Congratulations to you all. Next, we will draw lots for the first round. You will be divided into two groups for arena matches. The last one standing in each group is the winner.
As he spoke, the seventy martial artists took turns drawing lots.
Not far away stood Murong Qinghong.
This was a chance to observe the legendary Heavenly Palace Palace Master up close.
But when they reached the high platform and saw the legendary Heavenly Palace Palace Master, they felt their legs go a bit weak.
Strong!
Her aura was too powerful!
The overwhelming aura of the Heavenly Palace Palace Master made people momentarily forget her exquisite beauty and her figure full of charm.
Hu Fei, Via, Ma Duoke, and a few others, upon seeing the Heavenly Palace Palace Master, revealed greedy looks in their eyes, but dared not show it openly.
This woman truly is a stunner!
Murong Qinghong's expression remained calm. Over the years, she had grown accustomed to the greedy looks men gave her body.
However, not a single one dared to reveal their true feelings to her face.
At that moment, Murong Qinghong heard a faint whistling sound.
That tall minotaur was winking at her!
Murong Qinghong's jade-like hands had already clenched tightly.
No matter the outcome!
That minotaur, she would kill him for sure!
Night fell, in the tavern.
An Yi cleared his throat lightly and said: Tomorrow, which groups are you all in?
Upon hearing this, the others checked their drawn lots.
I'm in group thirty!
I'm in group nine!
After comparing them once, they breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing no overlaps among themselves.
It's only the first round; it would be awkward to run into one of our own already.
Hua Fengyu curled his lips into a smile: The night is long, how about we go have some fun at the brothel?
Han Liang rubbed his hands together, grinning: This, this isn't good, is it?
Gu Changfeng said leisurely: Are there any fourteen or fifteen-year-olds?
Hua Fengyu was slightly taken aback, instinctively shaking his head: Probably not.
I, Gu Changfeng, am a man of integrity and would never go to such places.
With a flick of his folding fan, Gu Changfeng actually had a bit of a chivalrous air about him.
Tu Langlang hesitated: That kind of place, is it really...
An Yi said coldly: No one is allowed to go!
They came to Huang City firstly to infiltrate the Heavenly Palace, and secondly to rescue Shangguan Qianqian. How could they waste time here?
As the master of the Asura Sect, he still knew how to weigh priorities.
Hua Fengyu said: My treat!
At that moment, An Yi had already transformed into the appearance of Lin Chen and said seriously: Then what are we waiting for?!
Comfortable, damn comfortable.
A fat man with an oily body, like a lump of streaky pork, lay collapsed on a recliner.
Surrounding him were chirping, fluttering women filled with the scent of powder.
Second Master Xing, how did Xuanxuan take care of you?
One woman hung on him, stroking his chin and asking softly.
What about Yan'er?
Another woman, feeling unconvinced, leaned against his chest, stroking his second chin and asked.
Second Master Xing immediately laughed: You women, so naughty, deserve a spanking!
Following that, the woman beside him received a light slap from Second Master Xing.
She stood up, giving Second Master Xing a coquettish glare: I won't pay attention to you anymore, you even hit me!
Ah, Ting Ting, it's because I dote on you. Come on, show Second Master Xing your special skill again.
The woman called Ting Ting glanced sideways with her phoenix eyes, then picked up a long xiao (vertical bamboo flute) and began to play.
The melodious tune echoed throughout the brothel!
Second Master Xing closed his eyes, tapping his fingers to the rhythm of the music.
This song, "Willow Breeze," tells the story of two sworn brothers dying tragically far from home.
Listening to it, tears slowly welled up in the corners of Second Master Xing's eyes.
Enough, enough, stop playing. Getting old, can't bear to hear such tunes anymore. All of you, leave now.
Second Master Xing said, shedding tears, using his sleeve to wipe them away.
The several singing girls had no choice but to stop and slowly leave.
Murong Qinghong, if you have the ability, don't ever let me rise again!
Second Master Xing drank a cup of wine and said angrily.
Back then, his elder brother died under suspicious circumstances. Soon after, their Xing family branch of the Heavenly Palace was implicated in various problems and executed.
If not for the need to silence the mouths of the world, even he, the younger brother of the previous Palace Master, would probably have died at the hands of that ruthless woman.
Xing Yunhai, quite in the mood for enjoyment.
A cold, serene voice came from above.
Suddenly, Second Master Xing felt a chill run down his spine: Who's there!
The figure of a middle-aged man slowly emerged from the brothel staircase.
Looking at this somewhat familiar figure, Second Master Xing's plump body hastily retreated a few steps: You are... Cheng, Cheng Yuanfeng!
Heh, Second Master Xing actually still recognizes me.
Cheng Yuanfeng slowly walked forward, killing intent suddenly appearing: The sins committed by you people of the Heavenly Palace must be repaid!
Second Master Xing trembled all over in fear, stammering: You, you weren't already twenty years ago...
I've recovered, and now I'm here to settle accounts! Cheng Yuanfeng said coldly.
He gathered a sharp gust of wind energy in his hand and fiercely slashed out.
Second Master Xing was scared out of his wits.
Cheng Yuanfeng's current strength was actually undiminished from back in the day, even stronger by a few degrees.
Cheng Yuanfeng sent a blast of sharp energy slashing down.
Suddenly, an armored figure descended from the sky, wielding a large blade, blocking his energy attack.
Nine Guards Soldier Yin Zheng!
Cheng Yuanfeng's eyes turned icy cold, looking at this armored person before him.
One of the Four Great Protectors of the Heavenly Palace!
Downstairs in the brothel.
Master, have another cup!
No, I don't like drinking!
An Yi yawned boredly.
He was using Lin Chen's face at the moment, which actually gave him a bit of Lin Chen's cold, aloof aura.
It couldn't be helped, the quality of these girls was too poor!
Forget a 9, probably not even a 7!
Grabbing any random one from the Azure Luan Pavilion would be of higher quality than these.
The others were clearly also lacking in enthusiasm.
Especially Gu Changfeng, with an older woman forcing her way into his embrace. His face was dark, already on the verge of exploding.
Only Hua Fengyu, accompanied by a few plump girls, was full of excitement and affection, being intimate and affectionate.
An Yi finally understood why he had puffy eye bags and such abundant luck with women.
This guy isn't picky at all!
Damn it, what kind of quality is this! Han Liang gritted his teeth in anger.
Tu Langlang whispered: Didn't you hear what the madam said? All the pretty girls have been taken by that Second Master Xing.
Outrageous!
An Yi clenched his fist and slammed the table in anger.
The esteemed master of the Asura Sect, how could he possibly endure such an insult!
And this is what others paid for!
This is it?!
Thud!
Right at that moment, a sudden explosive sound of floorboards shattering rang out.
The entire second floor of the brothel collapsed directly, and a figure came crashing down.
The crowd was horrified.
An Yi looked up, and after seeing clearly, his eyes widened in shock: Old Man Cheng!

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

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?"

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)

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." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. 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."
