The national martial arts tournament is nearing its conclusion.
Jin Youxi's national championship is almost a certainty.
After his match that day, although Zhao Bing was quite seriously injured,
Wang Hao delivered a bottle of high-grade healing elixirs that very same day,
and absolutely refused to accept any payment.
Now, Zhao Bing's injuries have fully recovered,
and his strength has reached an even higher level.
With the capability to defeat the sword prodigy from the Dugu family,
he is already in a position to contend for the championship of this year's top-level martial artist competition.
Now, only the weakest link among them, Liu Weiwei, has one final hurdle to overcome.
That hurdle is Xiao Ruohan.
It can now be said that whenever a disciple of Chen Feng takes to the stage,
they almost always overwhelm their opponents.
Even the scions of those great aristocratic families
are left overshadowed.
However, in the other tier competitions without Chen Feng's disciples participating, those aristocratic families still reign supreme.
A professional tournament commentator quickly latched onto Chen Feng as a hot topic.
A single headline shot straight to the trending list:
[The Decline of the Aristocratic Families, Chen Feng's Disciples Dominate the Rankings].
"The martial arts tournament, which was always the domain of aristocratic family heirs in previous years,
has now become the stage for Chen Feng's disciples.
As you've all likely seen, the advanced martial artist and top-level martial artist competitions have been locked down by the Chosen Senior Sister and the Chosen Scarface.
Meanwhile, the two hottest contenders in the martial artist-level competition both use martial arts taught by Chen Feng.
These three tier competitions are almost entirely swept by Chen Feng's disciples, forcing the great aristocratic families to step aside."
People from the Eight Great Families were extremely displeased seeing this video commentary,
but they had no way to refute it.
The commentator wasn't wrong at all.
Chen Feng's disciples are each more monstrous than the last.
Especially the Chosen Senior Sister, who is practically cheating.
Anyone facing her gets taken down with a single slap.
How is anyone supposed to fight against that?
There were even shocking rumors claiming the Chosen Senior Sister's realm had reached the state of Harmony Between Man and Nature.
The other figure, formerly known as the Martial Maniac of Shen Capital, also had his nickname changed by Jin Youxi's fans.
He is now called the Chosen Scarface.
Zhao Bing didn't care; he's only interested in the martial path anyway.
But his former fans were unhappy,
constantly complaining that "Scarface" sounded awful
and that "Martial Maniac of Shen Capital" had more prestige.
It was the same for Liu Weiwei and Xiao Ruohan. Their realms had been publicly disclosed across the internet.
Experts personally came forward to analyze, stating both had reached the Perfection realm in their comprehension.
At the martial artist level, achieving Perfection in martial art comprehension,
and with Heaven-tier martial arts at that—
how are other martial artists supposed to compete?
Almost every contestant who faced them only met with defeat.
Even those aristocratic family heirs were no exception.
They were hailed as geniuses for reaching the fifth realm of martial art comprehension.
Now, encountering opponents like Liu Weiwei and Xiao Ruohan, who are at the same level but have comprehended the seventh realm, they instantly wilted.
Finally, during the semi-finals, Liu Weiwei faced Xiao Ruohan.
"Junior sister, don't worry. Senior sister believes you can definitely win."
"Master said that the traitor's self-created eighteenth move is not the true eighteenth move."
"It's just a cheap imitation, nothing to fear."
Before the match, Jin Youxi kept cheering Liu Weiwei on.
However, Liu Weiwei didn't dare relax in the slightest.
She had watched several of Xiao Ruohan's matches.
Xiao Ruohan's strength was definitely not inferior to her own.
Almost every opponent couldn't last more than five palm strikes against her.
On the other side, Xiao Ruohan's complexion was finally no longer so pale and weak.
Her slightly sunken cheeks had filled out once more,
though her icy demeanor remained.
Duan Changtian beside her, however, sported dark circles under his eyes, his brow etched with exhaustion.
Duan Yan'er, standing nearby, shot her cousin a look of disdain.
She secretly mocked in her heart:
"What a weakling."
"That guy surnamed Ye fought continuously for three days and three nights and wasn't this drained."
"Truly, when looking for a man in the future, one must find one who knows the Indestructible Vajra Body technique."
A certain Tianjiao from the Ye Family was currently being reprimanded.
"Look at how drained you are! You got eliminated in the round of sixteen!"
"The Ye Family cultivates the Indestructible Vajra Body, not the 'Three-Kicks-and-You're-Done Body'!"
The Ye Family's Tianjiao said aggrievedly,
"Their martial comprehension is too high; no one could withstand it. There was nothing I could do."
Nothing you could do?
The Family Head said angrily,
"That doesn't mean you should get your defense broken in just three kicks!"
...
The semi-final began.
Xiao Ruohan walked step by step onto the arena.
Liu Weiwei, with a single leap, landed on the platform.
The two women faced each other in silence.
But the looks in their eyes conveyed mutual coldness.
"Begin!"
At the referee's command,
Xiao Ruohan immediately manifested her martial phantom.
Her life force surged like a mighty torrent, circulating within her body.
Liu Weiwei knew Xiao Ruohan's pattern.
She almost always started every fight by building power for her Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
Without hesitation, Liu Weiwei channeled her Heaven-Severing Leg technique through her legs, striking the arena floor.
Using the recoil force, she propelled herself forward,
then unleashed four consecutive kicks towards Xiao Ruohan.
Heaven and Earth Without Mercy!
Blood Floods the Mountains and Rivers!
Heaven Collapses, Earth Splits!
Ten Thousand Calamities, No Recovery!
Huge phantom foot images attacked one after another,
making the live audience hold their breath.
Xiao Ruohan neither dodged nor evaded.
She similarly unleashed four moves of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, meeting force with force.
Her silver hair flew wildly, black dragon phantoms danced furiously, and the roar of dragons filled the air.
After four tremendous collisions,
both retreated five steps, clearly evenly matched.
Chen Feng frowned, knowing Liu Weiwei might be in for a tough fight.
At this moment, Liu Weiwei also realized that securing victory would likely be very difficult.
Xiao Ruohan was also somewhat startled.
She hadn't expected that even after completing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, she still couldn't easily overpower Liu Weiwei.
The live audience was ignited by the opening exchange between the two.
"I originally thought the One-Kick Lady would have the upper hand."
"Are you kidding? The White-Haired Dragon Girl is no pushover."
"But they were both taught by the same master. It's hard to say who's stronger."
"The White-Haired Dragon Girl is a traitor; she's long been no part of the Chosen Martial School."
"Even if she's a traitor, her strength is undeniable."
...
Jin Youxi nervously gripped Chen Feng's arm.
She was afraid her junior sister Liu Weiwei would lose to Xiao Ruohan.
Then she might not be able to stop herself from charging up and slapping Xiao Ruohan to death.
"Master, do you think junior sister can win?"
Chen Feng said uncertainly,
"It's hard to say."
"But winning or losing isn't important. As long as Weiwei doesn't get hurt, I'll be satisfied."
At this very moment,
those paying attention to the Great Xia martial arts tournament weren't limited to people from Great Xia.
On three other distant continents, countless people were also watching with tense focus.
The Western Continent's Governor was currently watching the tournament livestream, holding a conference call with the other two continents.
"Great Xia's martial arts tournament is about to conclude. Be ready to move at any time."
"According to Zhang's arrangement, he alone will hold off Great Xia's eleven Martial Saints."
"The three Martial Saints guarding the capital, Holy Capital, will be left for you to handle."
"Simultaneously, the top ten contestants from each tier competition are also targets for this hunt."
The Southern Continent's Governor said,
"I always feel that Zhang Bowen isn't very trustworthy."
"And do you really believe he alone can hold off eleven Martial Saints?"
The Northern Continent's Governor said,
"Rest assured. He is a sworn enemy of Great Xia. Only we are willing to become his ally."
"And this time is also an excellent opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Great Xia."
The Western Continent's Governor recalled that day, the feeling of his own heart being clenched in Zhang Bowen's hand.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of deep resentment.
"It would be best if Zhang Bowen also dies in Great Xia."
"Your mission is to successfully eliminate the three Martial Saints and those Tianjiao. Do not concern yourselves with Zhang Bowen's fate."
"If Great Xia loses three Martial Saints and numerous Tianjiao all at once, they will no longer have the right to challenge us in the future."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.

I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
