After wiping out [Twilight of the End], Lu Ze and his two companions faced no further threats. They cut through the opposition like a hot knife through butter, extracted with 13 kills and a fat loot haul, bringing out a total of 24 million in assets.
Their ranking instantly shot up to second place.
[Repair Your Jade Feet] Preparation Zone.
“Junior Brother Lu, that… [Zi Shu·Yi Ba]—where did it come from?”
Zhou Yue stared at Lu Ze, who had returned fully loaded, hesitating to say more.
“Of course I brought it myself. What else?”
Lu Ze blinked and answered matter-of-factly.
“You…”
Zhou Yue took a deep breath, then gave a thumbs-up.
“You’re insane!”
He had just been stunned by Lu Ze’s one-vs-three play, only to have Lu Ze whip out a [Zi Shu·Yi Ba] and dive straight into the core zone to play the ambusher…
The shift in tone was just too bizarre.
In the last match, they were on the verge of going broke and scraping together a full set of gear. Who would have thought Lu Ze would also stash a [Zi Shu·Yi Ba] meant for leg-shooting?
Li Moran, however, had long anticipated this and showed no reaction.
After all, she was the one who got her legs shot by Lu Ze while he camped at the door during their one-on-one internal sparring match.
“Junior Brother Lu, I’d like to watch you play one more match… Can I just self-destruct and spectate this round?”
Zhou Yue, still savoring the thrill of the previous action, said with lingering excitement.
“No way, unless you don’t want to win the championship.”
Lu Ze shrugged, signaling he couldn’t do anything about it.
Unless he could clear the entire map in five minutes and still run back to the spawn point to revive both of them.
Someone capable of that, among the cheaters in his past life, would be a top-tier boss.
“Alright… then when we run into [Twilight of the End], I’ll self-destruct and spectate.”
Lu Ze nodded in agreement with Zhou Yue’s idea. “Sure.”
…
Lingxiao Sect Watching Area.
After the last match where [Repair Your Jade Feet] turned the tide and cleared the map, the atmosphere at Lingxiao Sect grew even more electrified.
Zhong Yi’s commentary was especially impassioned.
“The fourth match begins!”
“Huh? Junior Brother Lu picked Red Wolf? My feet are already starting to ache…”
“But [Twilight of the End] are all clairvoyant. It’s almost impossible to ambush them, right?”
Zhong Yi subtly jabbed at the situation.
He had long suspected something was off with [Twilight of the End], but due to a lack of evidence, he couldn’t speak out directly.
“[Repair Your Jade Feet] spawned at West Dormitory… No card swiping, they’re directly assaulting the dormitory building!”
“What kind of position is this? Junior Brother Lu actually pre-aims Luna’s spot by the trash can and takes her out with one shot from [Death God]!”
“Brother Zhou and Junior Sister Li charge straight into the point! Junior Brother Lu chooses to watch the action!”
“It’s utterly devastating! [Soul of Green Mountain] turns into three corpses at the start—this must be the fastest team wipe record, right?”
“Stripping all the ammo, Junior Brother Lu leads the team straight to the Central Control Building! This is a god-slaying, map-clearing strategy!”
Seeing no enemies nearby, Zhong Yi switched the view to [Twilight of the End].
“Oh? [Twilight of the End] spawned at Ascension Platform… Now they’re at Black Hall, running into the [Sacred Heaven Guardian Cult] coming from the second-floor rooftop…”
“Strange, they clearly see the enemies but don’t attack. That’s totally unlike [Twilight of the End]’s style, right?”
…
Meanwhile.
In the depths of a mountain range in Luofeng Zhou,
Inside a Ten-Fang Spirit Descending Grand Array, the central figure, Huang Yuwen, suddenly had his aura surge several-fold.
The Heart Demon’s consciousness withdrew from the Heavenly Dao livestream and turned towards Huang Yuwen’s direction.
The ninth spirit lamp around Huang Yuwen flickered unsteadily.
This was the signal they had agreed upon in advance.
Whenever the ninth spirit lamp lit up, it meant they needed the Heart Demon to provide assistance from the outside.
“Ha, should have done this sooner,” the Heart Demon sneered as a massive surge of spiritual energy enveloped the three people at the center of the formation.
The ninth spirit lamp beside Huang Yuwen glowed brighter and brighter...
...
Inside the Black Hall.
“Boom—!”
A red spirit-bullet flame pierced through the opponent’s chest.
“Boss! How does it feel?”
As the kill notification popped up, Sunset eagerly asked.
“Strong... too strong!”
Sunset stared in disbelief at his own hands, the corners of his mouth curling involuntarily.
After fully activating the ninth spirit lamp, he finally understood the terrifying power of the Ten Directions Spirit Summoning Formation.
Every move the enemy made was crystal clear to him.
A flood of information surged into his mind—
like what the opponent would do next, and the optimal countermeasure...
In this illusion, he felt like a god!
The only downside was that he had to focus on the opponent for a while to gather the information.
“Now, that kid’s feints won’t fool me anymore!”
Sunset said with utmost confidence.
“Great! Then let’s go get revenge right now!”
Black Snake, still furious at how Lu Ze had humiliated him earlier, hastily looked around, searching for a clear view of Mending Your Jade Foot.
“They’re on the sandlot outside the central control building...”
“Wait, we’re the only two teams left?!”
...
...
On the eastern sandlot by the central control building.
Three people were hurriedly cleaning up the battlefield.
“If only Greedy Little Sis were here right now...”
Zhou Yue let out a wry smile, feeling a rare pang of nostalgia for Zhou Qiaoling.
If Zhou Qiaoling were here now, all the loot would be emptied into the bag in an instant, saving him the trouble of picking things up one by one.
“We’ve taken down three teams, but there’s no sign of Final Evening... I heard a Reaper gunshot from the direction of the Black Hall just now.”
Li Moran turned to look toward the Black Hall, then pulled out an electric arrow and aimed it at his own feet.
“So, we should commit suicide now?”
Less than ten minutes had passed since the start; Immortal Stones hadn’t even spawned yet.
On the field, the only ones who could have a Reaper were them and Final Evening.
Obviously, it had come down to a final showdown between the two teams.
“Haha! Looks like I get to watch Junior Brother Lu’s moves again!”
Zhou Yue stopped picking out spirit bullets and tossed a spirit-absorption bomb at his own feet.
“Junior Brother Lu, make sure you take them down before we’re completely out of this!”
Lu Ze nodded. “Naturally.”
With a loud bang, Li Moran and Zhou Yue turned into lingering spirits, following behind Lu Ze.
“Lu... Junior Brother,” Li Moran suddenly spoke up.
“They really are cheating, just like the elders of the Limitless Sword Sect?”
“Yeah, they’re cheating... probably enhanced visual perception, x-ray vision, and auto-lock on the chest. If you don’t look closely, you can’t tell.”
Lu Ze finished with a faint smile.
“But in this round...”
“I’ll find a way to expose them.”
...
On the Blue Hall platform.
“Damn! Both of them killed themselves! What’s that supposed to mean? Are they looking down on us?”
Black Snake was furious.
With the boost from the Ten Directions Spirit Summoning Formation, he felt a strange sense of superiority within the illusion.
After being toyed with by Lu Ze in the previous round and now being so blatantly dismissed in this one, a surge of inexplicable rage rose within him.
"Heh, he won't be bouncing around for much longer."
【Dusk】 let out a cold laugh, standing atop a shipping container as he gazed from a distance at the three members of 【Repair Your Jade Feet】.
"You two buy me some time; I'll observe the battle from here."
"Once my eyes finish analyzing his information, he will no longer be my match!"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

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!
