One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"Do not believe?"

Zhuge Qing, standing next to him, elegantly pushed up his glasses, took out his phone, and opened a video.

In the scene, a naked man radiating dazzling golden light is frantically "attacking" a large tree, shouting, "I am a woodpecker..."

"Aaaaaah! Turn it off! Turn it off now!!"

Zhang Chulan let out a scream like a groundhog, wishing he could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of his toes and bury himself in it.

Memories flood back like a tidal wave.

Golden Light Mantra... Searchlight... Woodpecker...

It’s over.

It's all over.

This life is essentially over on Longhu Mountain.

"Alright, stop howling."

Xu Si laughed so hard he almost dropped his cigarette, and pulled Zhang Chulan, who hadn't even finished putting on one shoe, to his feet.

"Hurry up and get ready, the match is about to start. Today is your main event, your opponent is that... um, Zhang Pikachu."

Upon hearing the name "Zhang Pikachu," Zhang Chulan, who had been wishing he could disappear into the ground, suddenly froze.

He raised his head, and the shame in his eyes instantly turned into a despair that made him want to cry but couldn't.

"Second... Heavenly Lord?"

"Oh no, I think I was...walking my bird in front of the heavens last night?"

"Hey old man... he probably won't cut off my thing, will he?"

……

The scene of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, the quarterfinals to the semifinals.

Although last night's revelry left many with dark circles under their eyes, it did not diminish the audience's enthusiasm in the slightest.

Especially this one.

Zhang Chulan, known for his "shameless" demeanor, faces off against Zhang Pika, the "socialite in loafers."

One of these two advanced by being shameless and suddenly bursting with strength, while the other advanced by using bizarre fancy moves and scaring away Wang Ye.

When these two meet, it's like Mars colliding with Earth, creating a truly entertaining show.

"Please enter the arena, contestants!"

The referee shouted.

Zhang Chulan walked onto the arena dejectedly.

He still walks a little awkwardly, after all, he worked too hard as a woodpecker last night. Although he was protected by the golden light and his skin wasn't broken, his inner thighs were still a little sore.

On the other side, Zhang Tianyi was already waiting.

Today he changed into a slightly more understated outfit—if you could call that purple T-shirt with the huge words "Everyone's a Villain" printed on it understated.

Wearing sunglasses and with a lollipop in his mouth, he watched Zhang Chulan waddling up like a wilted eggplant, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Hey, isn't this our 'King of Birds'?"

Zhang Tianyi deliberately raised his voice a few decibels, took off his sunglasses, and looked Zhang Chulan up and down, his gaze finally lingering meaningfully on his crotch:

"How was it? How was the taste of that tree last night? Did it leave any aftereffects?"

"puff--"

A burst of barely suppressed laughter erupted from the stands.

There were quite a few people there last night, so the news has already spread far and wide.

"Good heavens! Please stop teasing me!"

Zhang Chulan leaned closer, lowered his voice, and pleaded:

"Give me some face... there are so many people watching."

"face?"

Zhang Tianyi scoffed, "When you unleashed your golden light last night, illuminating half of the back mountain, your reputation vanished along with that tree."

"However..."

Zhang Tianyi changed the subject, looking at Zhang Chulan's pitiful appearance, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder:

"Considering your wonderful talent show last night, which made everyone laugh, I won't make things difficult for you today."

After speaking, Zhang Tianyi turned around, faced the referee, and casually raised his hand.

"Referee, I'm not playing this round."

"what?"

The referee was stunned, his command flag hanging in mid-air, unsure whether to release it or not.

"No...no more fighting? Why? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Zhang Tianyi rubbed his stomach and said with a self-righteous expression:

"I didn't eat enough breakfast, so I have low blood sugar and feel dizzy. This kid doesn't know his own strength; what if he hurts me? Who will I ask for compensation?"

"Moreover, I see that this kid's face is dark, which means he is bound to suffer a bloody disaster. I am a Buddhist and cannot bear to bully disabled people, so I abstain from the game."

This reason is so utterly ridiculous it's outrageous.

Chapter 29 Sharing Good Things with the Old Master and the Others

Believes in Buddhism?

What kind of Buddhism do you believe in, you energetic young man?

People with disabilities?

Aside from a serious mental illness, what kind of disability does Zhang Chulan have?

But Zhang Tianyi completely ignored the referee's constipated expression and the audience's angry shouts for refunds.

He put his hands in his pockets and winked at Zhang Chulan:

"Play well, don't embarrass yourself with your diamond drill."

After saying that, he hummed a little tune and, with an air of utter disregard for family and friends, jumped off the stage.

"The winner... Zhang Chulan!"

The referee had no choice but to announce it.

Standing on the stage, Zhang Chulan watched that dashing departing figure, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Although the advisor has a sharp tongue and loves to stir things up.

But at this crucial moment... they really gave us a way out!

This guarantees a spot in the final four!

……

A few minutes later.

On the highest viewing platform in the venue.

This place offers the best view and is also equipped with tea and snacks, specially prepared for the Ten Elders and the Old Celestial Master.

"Hey, squeeze in, squeeze in."

Zhang Tianyi swaggered up and plopped down between the old master and Lu Jin, even snatching the orange that Lu Jin had just peeled from his hand.

Zhang Tianyi wasn't afraid of others discovering his identity; they would only see him as a relative of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Second Senior Brother, isn't this a bit too frivolous?"

Lu Jin looked at the oranges that had been stolen from him, furious but unable to utter a word, only able to glare and puff out his cheeks:

"So many people are watching, and you just give up like that? And such a lame excuse? Low blood sugar? Your innate lightning energy is enough to be used as a generator, how could you have low blood sugar?"

"Old Lu, you're getting too attached to appearances."

Zhang Tianyi stuffed orange segments into his mouth one by one, saying indistinctly:

"This is called mentoring the younger generation. If I were to actually make a move, that would be bullying a child. Besides, I'm just here to join in the fun. If I really win the championship, will you give me the Heavenly Scroll or not? What use would I have for that thing? It's too stiff even to use as toilet paper."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was speechless.

Indeed, if this guy really wanted the Heavenly Scroll, he could just ask for it directly; there would be no need for a competition.

"Alright, stop acting innocent after getting the benefit."

The old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei poured Zhang Tianyi a cup of tea with a smile, a hint of cunning in his eyes:

"Second brother, what are you so eager to show off to us? I saw you with that wicked grin down there."

"Hehe, my senior brother understands me best."

Zhang Tianyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately put down his teacup and mysteriously took out his phone from his pocket.

"Come on, Jinzhong, Lao Lu, senior brother, come over here."

"I'll show you something good. This is a top-secret file, fresh off the press last night, a hundred times more valuable than those Eight Extraordinary Techniques!"

Sitting in his wheelchair, Tian Jinzhong asked curiously, "Second Senior Brother, what's this strange thing? Did you capture the leader of the Quanxing Sect?"

"Tch, what's so interesting about those rats from the Quanxing Sect?"

Zhang Tianyi swiped his finger across the screen twice and opened a video file.

"Get ready. Make sure you control your expressions, especially Lao Lu. You have high blood pressure, so don't faint later."

After he finished speaking, he pressed the play button.

on the screen.
