The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Searching through Edison Chen's memories, Monkey King already knows what Xi Chuan Kuangmo looks like.

Seeing this, the man with the rooster-like haircut looked somewhat annoyed, but after glancing at the passersby, he held back and instead lowered his voice to scold them.

"Aren't you wearing a mask too? If you want me to take it off, you take it off first!"

Monkey King is very tough.

"Pick it! Then pick it!"

Monkey King transformed into a face like a flower, wanting to scare this rooster-headed man.

Unexpectedly, when the man with the rooster-like hair saw the beautiful woman, his eyes lit up with hearts.

"So you're a young lady. I apologize for my intrusion. May I ask your name, your age, and whether you are betrothed?"

Monkey King: "I've seen a ghost..."

While expressing his love to Monkey King, the rooster-headed creature also took off his mask.

He had a very rugged face with a stubble of steel nails, exuding male hormones.

Anyway, he doesn't resemble Nishikawa Kuangmo at all.

"That's all, goodbye."

Monkey King is leaving, but Rooster Head is still reluctant to part with him.

"Young lady, where are you going? Let me take you home."

"I don't need you to take me. You should go back and find Miss Gao."

The man with the rooster-like haircut wanted to follow Monkey King, but a thin young man in white walked out from the crowd.

"Red Bull, who are you talking to?"

The man with the rooster-like comb, nicknamed Red Ox, scratched his head.

"Yunyang, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Yun Yang had an expression that suggested he was used to it.

"I know you're not someone who's easily moved. This is the ninety-seventh one; she must be very beautiful."

"Um……"

"But we have more important things to do now, which have been delayed for too long and can't be delayed any longer. Could you please calm your racing heart?"

"Okay, my heart will always have a place for her."

Yun Yang turned around, secretly rolled her eyes, and looked helpless.

Outside Xichuan City, seventy kilometers from the city's edge, stands a pillar of light reaching the sky. Entering it leads to the Soul Cultivation Illusion.

All the illusions are the same; you need to register to enter.

So, it's actually an alter ego with an identity and who has undergone cosmetic surgery, who's in charge of registration first.

Then Song Gua switched places and entered the illusion, releasing Huo Zi Ge and the others.

The process is similar to the last time we entered the zombie illusion.

This time, however, Song Gua did not stay inside. Instead, after letting people out, he immediately came out through the entrance and exit passage.

Huozi and Nanfeng, along with more than a dozen clones, are wandering in the illusion.

On the vast blue sea, a dozen clones dressed in bandit outfits were splashing and doggy-paddleing on the surface.

"Have we reached the next island yet?"

"No! I can't see anything! I can only see water!"

"I told you to build a boat on that island over there! You insisted on flying there!"

"Brother Huo said he could be like Iron Man, grabbing one of us while the rest of us held hands and flew together! He also said he could fly using his talent of transforming into flames, without needing to use mana!"

"It doesn't consume mana, but it does consume stamina. I forgot about that."

"Damn it! I was practically forced to learn to swim!"

"If doggy paddle can be called swimming!"

The Soul Cultivation Illusion is a B-level illusion, which is quite high.

The area of ​​the inner world is vast, almost half the size of the Earth.

But she is a water world.

There is plenty of water but little land.

Islands are scattered across the sea.

When professionals enter, they don't appear directly in the water, but rather on an island.

When Song Gua released them, it was on an island.

According to online guides, many islands are uninhabited, and you have to go to large islands to see people in this world.

Huozi and his friends don't need online guides; they carry the Illusionary Divine Tablet, which is more reliable than any guide.

The entire map of the Soul Cultivation World is clearly visible.

Even though it's clear that crossing the waters between islands is no easy task.

Although Song Gua knew about their difficulties, there was nothing he could do to help.

He can't switch places between the illusion and reality, so Huozi and the others can only hope for the best.

Fortunately, with the divine stele, they can know the dangers of the soul cultivation world in advance and thus avoid them.

……

Shangjing City.

The trio of Hao, who were practically cheating, met Lin Ruqing and Pang Liang at People's Square in Beijing.

People's Square is a landmark building in Beijing.

This huge plaza, covering 400,000 square meters, features many giant sculptures, each over 100 meters tall, showcasing important historical moments as humanity transitioned from the Golden Age to the New Era.

Three flagpoles stand in the square.

These are the flags of the Blue Star Federation, the Huaxia Administrative Region, and the Shangjing City.

Outside of the time when ceremonies and rituals are held, some areas of the square are designated for commercial use by the public.

Therefore, this place is bustling with people and vehicles every day, making it very lively.

Upon arriving at this square, Song Gua's sense of familiarity with the city intensified.

Five young people from Yunshan City, all dressed casually, stood together, looking youthful and energetic, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

"Hey three juniors, we meet again!"

Lin Ruqing remains as enthusiastic and approachable as ever.

Pang Liang stood to the side, wearing a smug expression, as if someone owed him money.

"Lin Ruqing, I've picked them up. I'm heading back now. You can take care of them yourself."

Lin Ruqing said irritably.

"When we're away from home, we should help each other out. How can you be so indifferent?"

Pang Liang glanced at Song Gua.

"He's a top-ranked expert on the Earthly Ranking, what do he need our help for? If I'm with him, I'm afraid people will say that I, Pang Liang, am clinging to someone's coattails and trying to climb the social ladder."

Xu Kai and Yuwen Hao exchanged a glance, then each took a arm from Song Gua's left or right.

"We are not afraid."

Song Gua's body trembled, shaking the two men who appeared to be gay apart.

Pang Liang pursed his lips speechlessly, "I disagree, I'm leaving."

Just then, a figure appeared above the five people.

"Hahaha! Song Gua! You've finally arrived! I challenge you!"

Song Gua looked up.

It was a bald head that shone very brightly in the sunlight.

The bald man was wearing light armor and hovering in mid-air on a skateboard-like flying device.

A prompt popped up in front of Song Gua's eyes.

[“Child Warrior Lv32” has issued a challenge order to you. If the opponent succeeds, he will take your place on the rankings. Do you accept the challenge?]

【accept.】

【reject.】

[Note: Refusing a challenge will deduct 10% of your leaderboard points, causing your ranking to drop.]

Challenge Token, a rare consumable item, is something Song Gua has never obtained before.

The other party's name is Tong Zhan, and his surname is Tong. In the Huaxia administrative region, he can only be a member of the Tong clan.

It's not surprising that such a powerful force would issue a challenge order.

Challenges initiated with a challenge token will be monitored by the game system once they begin.

All challenges are one-on-one; you cannot have helpers or throw the match. Otherwise, the game system will not recognize the result of the duel and will punish those who violate the one-on-one rule by deducting points from their leaderboard.

After Tong Zhan used the challenge token, two red lights appeared out of thin air above Song and Tong's heads, making them stand out conspicuously in the bustling crowd.
