Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

Although this is a rhetorical question, the tone is very confident.

The blue-haired girl knows Ye Huairou too well.

She was also a genius; she knew that Ye Huairou was someone who admired strength.

If someone were truly selfish and annoying, it's impossible for them to constantly talk about the other person.

"he……"

Ye Huairou opened her mouth, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but couldn't utter a single word.

Yang Xian's image involuntarily surfaced in my mind.

The domineering power of his strongest attack as he cleaved through the air with a single strike.

His composure when facing the four giant tigers.

In the end, she could only lower her head in frustration and nod reluctantly.

"……right."

How amazing is it?

A hint of curiosity finally appeared in the blue-haired girl's eyes.

A person who can make even the proud and arrogant Ye Huairou admit their skill is definitely not an ordinary person.

"he……"

"His lightning magic... is extremely domineering."

"Even... with the cultivation of the second realm, one can kill a fourth-realm demon."

As Ye Huairou finished speaking, a hint of awe unconsciously crept into her tone.

The training ground fell silent once again.

For the first time, a hint of emotion appeared on the blue-haired girl's face.

"A divine-level cultivation technique..."

She uttered four words softly.

Divine-level cultivation techniques contain a trace of the power of laws, and only divine-level cultivation techniques can allow one to challenge the four realms beyond their level.

Those chosen by divine-level cultivation techniques are certainly not ordinary.

The martial arts library at Canglan University also houses several divine-level martial arts techniques.

However, in the past ten years or so, not a single student has been able to successfully cultivate it.

"You're so eager to find him... just to repay a debt of gratitude?"

The blue-haired girl looked at the absent-minded Ye Huairou and asked thoughtfully.

"It's not all about repaying a debt of gratitude..." Ye Huairou muttered softly.

She didn't even know what she was thinking.

On the one hand, the uncle did save her life, and it was only right to repay the kindness.

On the other hand, the thought of that man always making her angry and taking advantage of her made her furious.

But in the end, she nodded.

"But... I don't have any decent gift to give him as a thank you."

Ye Huairou looked somewhat dejected. "That's why I wanted to try my luck in Secret Realm 121 and see if I could find any rare and precious treasures."

In this official selection competition held in the secret realm, they also obtained two guaranteed admission spots for Canglan University.

After discussion within the school, it was ultimately decided that the two of them would represent the school in the competition.

"But the problem is... South Sea City is so big, I simply can't find him..."

Ye Huairou sighed again, her whole demeanor drooping.

She didn't even know the other person's name, only that he was called "uncle".

How do I find it?

"I think you can try a different approach."

"What's your thinking?" Ye Huairou looked up, her face blank.

The blue-haired girl's tone remained calm:

"If he is really as powerful as you say, then there is a very high chance that he will participate in this official secret realm selection competition."

"After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any martial artist."

"You should pay close attention to this."

After hearing this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the gloom on her face vanished.

"Yes!"

"Someone as talented as that guy will definitely participate in this selection competition!"

"His lightning magic is so powerful, I recognized it at a glance!"

"Xiyan, you're so smart!"

------

Before we knew it, the Secret Realm Selection Competition was about to begin.

"Dear participants, the wristbands you are wearing are specially made by the association for the competition."

"It can record your points and rankings in real time. Crush the bracelet and the holder will be instantly teleported out."

"The wristband will display the information of the top eight players in the points ranking in real time."

"..."

The referee quickly finished explaining the rules.

From below the stage, Yang Xian gave the girl some instructions.

"Xi'er, remember, this is just a competition. Safety is the most important thing."

"If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, immediately crush the bracelet to release it, understand?"

"Yes, yes! Xi'er remembers!" Zhou Xi'er nodded vigorously.

She suddenly pulled a map of the secret realm from her pocket and pointed to one of the locations.

"Brother Yang, how about... we agree on a place beforehand, and meet there once we're inside, okay?"

The girl's eyes were filled with anticipation.

But Yang Xian certainly couldn't agree to that.

He was afraid that Jiang Mengyun would see him getting too close to other girls in the live stream.

Just thinking about Jiang Mengyun's face, which was full of "unhappiness," made my scalp tingle.

"No, Xi'er." Yang Xian's expression was somewhat serious.

"Do you remember what I said before? From now on, we are enemies."

"Don't expect me to go easy on you."

Zhou Xier's smile froze, and she looked at Yang Xian with some confusion.

From the moment she left home this morning, the girl keenly sensed that Brother Yang was deliberately keeping his distance from her.

He wouldn't even let her hold his hand anymore, even though they had been holding hands all along.

What did Xi'er do wrong... that made Brother Yang hate her?

Brother Yang doesn't want Xi'er anymore...

"Ah... well... okay then..."

The girl lowered her head, and the single tuft of hair on her head drooped listlessly.

Seeing her like this, Yang Xian shook his head helplessly.

But there's no other way; for the sake of a peaceful life after the competition, we have to make this little girl suffer for the time being.

"All participants..."

Just then, the referee's loud voice rang out again.

"The teleportation is about to begin, please prepare..."

The next second, Yang Xian felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a strong sense of spatial pulling.

He opened his eyes and found himself in a dense primeval forest.

The towering ancient trees blocked out the sky, with only dappled sunlight filtering through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

Because the teleportation was completely random, he had no idea where he was or whether there were enemies lurking around him.

"Let's observe the surrounding environment first."

"No rush to set off."

Yang Xian's strategy was clear from the beginning.

Go to hell!

If you survive to the end, you'll have everything!

Hunting monsters?

It's too time-consuming and laborious.

Most importantly, Yang Xian did not practice any breathing techniques, so his true energy recovery speed was extremely slow.

Replenishing one's true essence costs 1000 points, which is really a waste.

Therefore, he chose the most efficient path—

In the final stages of the competition, they made their move against the "easy targets" on the leaderboard.

Although this might expose some of their strength, making them a target for other teams to guard against in the subsequent knockout rounds.

But none of this is a big deal.

With his strength, there are very few people who can pose a threat to him at present.

"Rustle and rustle..."

Suddenly, some subtle movements appeared in the bushes thirty meters to the left.

Yang Xian's gaze sharpened.

Judging from the footsteps, it sounds like there are two people...

Should we take direct action, or test the waters first?
