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

"A warning gesture would suffice."

"The match has just begun, and the opponent doesn't have many points yet."

"Avoid fighting if possible, and conserve your true energy."

Yang Xian didn't even draw his knife.

With fingers pointing like a sword, he casually flicked out an ice spike in that direction.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud was followed by a flash of white light.

One of the auras... disappeared.

Yang Xian: (⊙⊙)!

what's going on?

Were we teleported out?

Did I hit you too hard just now?

But I clearly didn't use much true energy...

The owner of the other aura was so frightened by this sudden scene that he lost his soul and collapsed to the ground.

"Brother! Big brother!"

"Don't hit me! I mean no harm! I was just passing by!"

It was a young man's voice, and it was clearly trembling.

Yang Xian emerged from behind the tree, looking at him indifferently:

"Will you go out by yourself, or should I escort you out?"

The young man looked at Yang Xian and almost peed his pants in fright.

He and his companion happened to be teleported to the same place, but they hadn't figured out what was going on yet.

then……

Then his companion was teleported away.

Just like that!

The person is gone!

"Bro! Big brother! It's no use eliminating me!"

The young man cried out, his voice trembling with tears, "I don't have a single point! I'm just here to observe, please spare my life!"

Yang Xian was somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, when faced with such an insurmountable opponent, shouldn't one voluntarily crush the bracelet and leave to save face?

Why is this guy begging for mercy?

Give me one reason not to eliminate you.

Yang Xian's tone remained completely calm.

"To be honest, brother!" the young man quickly explained.

"I'm just an ordinary college student. I came here because I heard that I could get academic credits by participating in the competition."

"I finally managed to snag this spot; the higher your ranking, the more credits you get."

"I have absolutely no interest in that secret realm spot!"

The final ranking of the competition will be determined not only by points, but also by the time spent in the secret realm.

The longer you stay, the higher your ranking will be, and the more credits you will earn.

"..."

Yang Xian stared at the young man who was about to kneel down, and for a moment he was speechless.

College students really are everywhere.

They dare to participate in martial arts competitions just for a few credits.

He suddenly remembered his past life, where he had worked like a slave to his teachers and classmates for a meager GPA and credits, doing chores like cleaning and moving equipment...

That painful past made him feel a strange sense of sympathy for the young man in front of him.

"Get lost."

Yang Xian withdrew his gaze. "If I see you here again, don't blame me for being impolite."

The young man felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He scrambled to his feet and bowed repeatedly in Yang Xian's direction.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you for sparing my life!"

After saying that, he turned and disappeared into the jungle on the other side without looking back, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Yang Xian looked in the direction he disappeared and shook his head.

I wonder how Xi'er is doing now.

If you can't beat someone, you should know to run, right?

------

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"What a bunch of trash!"

"They all died before we could even have our fill of fun, no different from those small fry outside the city."

Several grotesque monster corpses lay scattered on the ground.

A petite figure stood in the center of the corpse, a thin line of blood still clinging to the straight knife in her hand, which she casually tossed aside.

There was not a trace of the timidity and shyness that Zhou Xier usually showed on her face.

In those blue eyes, only coldness and indifference remained.

The tuft of hair that always swayed on top of her head had somehow fallen down and lay flat against her smooth, long blue hair.

She sheathed her sword with swift and decisive movements.

The special bracelet on his wrist glowed faintly, displaying the dozens of points that had just been credited to his account.

Zhou Xier glanced at it briefly before looking away with little interest.

"This is boring..."

She turned and left this blood-soaked place.

Just then, a timid voice echoed deep within her mind.

[My other self, where are you going? The map shows there's no sign of monsters over there...]

It's the voice of "naturally naive" Xi'er.

"Where to?"

Zhou Xier's lips curled up. "Of course, I'm going to find your lowly brother!"

[Miscellaneous fish... Brother? Are you talking about Brother Yang?]

"Of course, who else could it be?"

But Brother Yang...

He doesn't seem too keen on us following him... Does Brother Yang dislike Xi'er...?

Xi'er's voice, which was described as "naturally naive," became even softer, filled with grievance.

"That's why we should go find him even more!" Zhou Xier's voice suddenly rose.

"He thinks he can just bully you and run away? Don't even think about it!"

"A small fry should have the awareness of a small fry!"

"Besides, that cricket is just a nobody, how dare it pinch my face!"

"I'm determined to get it back!"

【Eh? But...but, Brother Yang was pinching my cheek...】

"Isn't your face my face too?" Zhou Xier rolled her eyes.

"In any case, that's settled."

"Just watch and see how I find that weakling!"

------

Canglan Martial Arts University.

"Where is it...?"

"Which of the eight competition dungeons is the uncle in?"

"I can't find it anywhere..."

Ye Huairou sat cross-legged on the soft sofa, her beautiful purple eyes fixed on the screen.

She scratched her long purple hair in frustration, muttering to herself.

As soon as the qualifying rounds started today, she immediately sat in front of the live broadcast room.

The problem is, she had no idea which group Yang Xian had drawn, so she could only switch between several live streams.

The competition had just begun, and every dungeon was packed with people. The official broadcast was switching between shots so fast that it was impossible to keep up.

Moreover, most of the participants are still very cautious, holding back and not showing much of their strength.

From what she saw, there were no fewer than ten martial artists using lightning-based techniques.

Finding that awful old man among so many people is harder than asking her to do advanced math problems.

"Huairou, let me watch the live stream with you too."

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came from the doorway.

Ye Huairou turned her head and saw who it was, a look of surprise on her face.

"Xiyan? Aren't you going to training today?"

The blue-haired girl, "happy Yan," walked over slowly.

"It's important to balance work and rest in everything you do; constantly keeping your nerves on edge is not good."

"Besides... I also need to study the people here; we might even clash in the secret realm."

Ye Huairou felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.

Study the enemy?

Who are you kidding?

Doesn't she understand her best friend? happy Yan's personality is such that she never does anything inefficient.

If you really want to study your opponents, you'll definitely have to wait until the knockout stage.

The current qualifying rounds are a mixed bag, with most people just there to make up the numbers. What can they possibly come up with?

She knew that Xiyan was just looking for an excuse to go with her to find that bastard uncle.

"Thank you, Xiyan!"

Ye Huairou hugged the other person tightly, her face showing some emotion.

Although Ye Huairou could wait until the elimination rounds to go find Yang Xian.

But she just couldn't wait.

If she couldn't find that man for a day, she would be restless and unable to eat or sleep, and she couldn't concentrate on training.

"It's alright."

Zhou Xiyan shook her head slightly.

But as soon as she sat down, she inadvertently saw a petite figure in the live stream.

"Little Sister Xi'er..."

"So you were in there too..."
