"Father, elder brother"

In the spring, Xiao Yan looked at his resurrected father Xiao Zhan and his two elder brothers, and tears of emotion streamed down his face.

He hadn't expected the spring water here to be so magical, possessing the ability to revive the dead.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan had a wicked idea and decided to collect some of this magical spring water. However, no matter how he tried to collect the water, it would disappear from his hands. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.

"We've been resurrected?" Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li were incredulous. They had thought they would be annihilated sooner or later, but who would have thought they would have a chance to survive? It was truly a blessing from heaven!

"Clan Leader, Commander Xiao Ding, Deputy Commander Xiao Li!" Qing Lin cried excitedly as she saw the dead men come back to life, but then she suddenly realized that her tongue had been restored by the mysterious spring water and had grown back.

"Qing Lin, you have not let us down, nor have you let down our mercenary group and our fallen comrades."

Filled with gratitude, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li reached out and patted Qing Lin's little head. Although their souls were imprisoned by Xiao Ning, they were still very knowledgeable about what was happening outside.

They were very pleased that Qing Lin was able to understand the greater good and did not choose to become an accomplice of the wicked.

Among those who were resurrected was Yao Chen, the Venerable Yao, who looked utterly shocked.

In all his years of traversing the Dou Qi Continent, this was the first time he had ever seen such a miraculous spring, which not only purified the negative influences deep within his soul but also miraculously restored his physical body.

Thinking back on the past is truly unbearable. He actually went blind again, abandoned Xiao Yan, and took in another ungrateful wretch as his disciple.

Since he was saved by Xiao Yan, he should treat this young friend well in the future and repay him.

Since they had gathered together, they exchanged a few words of remembrance before leaving the spring.

I heard from some soldiers that a tremendous battle had just taken place on this island.

The Xiao Clan father and son, along with Yao Chen, suddenly became interested and decided to go and see what was going on.

"Dou Di expert?"

Gu Yuan and the Hun Tiandi were also greatly shocked to see the Dou Di powerhouse, whom they hadn't seen for thousands of years, suddenly appear on the Dou Qi Continent today.

But then Na Lan Yan Ran floated down from the heavens and landed in front of everyone.

"This work belongs to the ancient Great Emperor Tian Mei, and this island was my private territory in ancient times. I heard that you have come here to find Inscribed Stone Tablet, and I can give you some as a gift."

The crowd went from surprise to delight, never expecting that this ancient emperor was actually a kind and friendly person who not only didn't blame them for trespassing but also presented them with a powerful stone tablet as a hospitable gift.

But is that really the case?

As everyone knows, our master swindler never does anything that loses money.

Na Lan Yan Ran's eyes darted around, and she casually pointed to the canyon behind her, deceiving the crowd. "Everyone sees this, right? This canyon is one of my great treasures. In ancient times, people who wanted to obtain the Inscribed Stone Tablet had to win in this canyon."

Everyone listened attentively and understood how to obtain the Inscribed Stone Tablet on this island.

To obtain the stone tablet, you must form a team of five, successfully destroy the enemy's defensive towers, and reach the final crystal.

No matter what your strength is outside, or how powerful your physical strength is, as long as you enter the canyon, your initial realm is One-star Dou Practitioner. As you continuously increase your experience level, when you reach level fifteen, you can unlock powerful abilities.

Na Lan Yan Ran continued spouting nonsense, "The islanders you just fought were ordinary people from ancient times. However, they honed their strength through countless life-or-death battles in this canyon. That's why you were wondering why they could beat you so badly, even though they didn't have Dou Qi."

The crowd was both surprised and ashamed. They were surprised because they realized that the island's inhabitants had undergone countless trials and tribulations in this canyon to become so powerful. They were ashamed because they had indeed been beaten to tears.

Gu Yuan felt reassured and resolved to lead his people into the canyon to explore, hoping that in the future, the Ancient Clan would become as powerful as the inhabitants of the island.

"In that case, sir, we are willing to give it a try," Gu Yuan, already eager to try.

"Hmm," Na Lan Yan Ran said, her hands behind her back, looking dignified, as she opened her palms and held out Gu Yuan, "If you want to try it, you should at least pay some for the game experience, right?"

We've spent so much on this game, we can't let them play for free; we have to recoup some of the costs first.

"This..." Gu Yuan was immediately embarrassed, and said with a thin purse, "Sir, I left in a hurry and didn't bring any valuables with me!"

"What did you say?" Na Lan Yan Ran's beautiful eyes widened, her kind face instantly turning terrifying. She slapped Gu Yuan, causing him to spit blood, and cursed, "I've been working hard to create happiness for you all, and you actually say you have no money? No money? What are you doing?"

Gu Yuan's face stung with pain, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.

You're telling me that the person standing in front of him is a genuine Dou Di powerhouse. Even though he's the head of a clan and is worshipped by thousands, he's nothing but a fart in front of Dou Di powerhouse.

Hun Tiandi was clever enough. Although he didn't carry many treasures with him, he knew to ask his subordinates for them. In a short time, most of the Soul Clan's Storage Ring were confiscated by Hun Tiandi and eventually handed over to Na Lan Yan Ran.

"My lord, this is some money for my Soul Clan's gaming experience. Although it's not much in value, it represents my good intentions. Please accept it for now, and I will definitely repay you more in the future."

Seeing that the Hun Tiandi had done so, other Ancient Families and various sects and forces on the Dou Qi Continent followed suit and offered tribute.

Na Lan Yan Ran waved her hand, taking all the hundreds of Storage Ring into her possession, before leading everyone towards the entrance of the canyon.

At the very top of the canyon, there is a large display screen over 100 meters high, used to watch the live competition between the two teams.

On one side of the canyon is a large spectator stand, providing a place for the audience to rest and sit.

"Is that the owner of this island? He's actually a Dou Di expert!" Just then, Xiao Yan, who was not far away, also saw Na Lan Yan Ran's figure and suddenly felt that she was very familiar.

Na Lan Yan Ran also noticed Xiao Yan's gaze, and startled, she hurriedly turned around, coughing lightly, "Ahem, in that case, why don't you start forming teams and beginning the match now?"

A large lottery box appeared, and everyone took their own numbered ball.

"My lord, I am number one." The Hun Tiandi stepped forward confidently. He originally wanted to find five members of the Soul Clan, but when drawing numbers, he was matched with other teammates.

Gu Yuan was matched with several teammates, and when he checked his account number, he found that he was the first to enter the game. The enemy he was matched with was none other than the Hun Tiandi.

"Heh, Gu Yuan, do you even understand this high-level game of vying for stone slabs?" Hun Tiandi mocked.

When it comes to playing games, Hun Tiandi has never backed down from anyone since childhood; he's always the one doing the peeing while others play in the mud.

Previously, the two of them were evenly matched in their Dou Qi, but today he would use a different method to completely crush Gu Yuan.

"Hmph, it's not certain who will win or lose yet," Gu Yuan sneered.

Both sides stood on the teleportation platforms outside the canyon, waiting for the five-second countdown. Then, both teams appeared in the canyon. Many powerful players in the audience held their breath, watching this thrilling 5v5 duel.

Red Team: Hun Tiandi, Hun Miesheng, Old Man Mu Gu, Valley Master Bing He, Sect Master Tian Ming.

Blue Team: Gu Yuan, Elder Xuan Tong, Venerable Wind, Ancestor Dan Ta, Elder Hua Zong.

Upon entering the canyon, Hun Tiandi became arrogant, determined to crush the opposing blue team players with a gaming mindset surpassing Gu Yuan's.

"Listen up, everyone!" Hun Tiandi commanded the crowd. "According to the rules of the Rift, we win as long as we successfully destroy the enemy's crystal. Now, everyone follow me to the enemy's crystal!"

Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, everyone around him showered him with flattery, praising Hun Tiandi as a gaming genius.

The group rushed straight to the middle lane, intending to launch a one-shot kill, but as soon as they stepped into the turret, they were hit by the powerful turret damage and lost most of their health.

Old Man Mu Gu didn't withstand many hits before letting out a wail and being killed by the turret. Only then did everyone remember Na Lan Yan Ran's reminder that turrets could be very damaging in the early game.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Take turns carrying the tower and clear a safe path for me," the Hun Tiandi said confidently.

The other three teammates also mustered their courage, endured immense pain, and sacrificed their precious lives to finally help the Hun Tiandi reach the crystal.

"Hmph," the Hun Tiandi snorted coldly. Did they really think they could stump him with such a low-level strategy game?

He roared and unleashed a powerful palm strike, striking the crystal in front of him. He thought the game would end once the crystal shattered, but to his surprise, the crystal remained unharmed.

"Something's not right!" The Hun Tiandi clutched his head in disbelief, and was sent back to his hometown by the attacks of the surrounding high-altitude towers.

Meanwhile, a notification of a team wipe appeared on a large display screen outside the canyon.

This caused everyone in the stands outside the canyon to burst into laughter. Before entering the arena, he had been showing off, but the next second he was completely humiliated. Hun Tiandi had really lost face.

"Damn it!"

The Hun Tiandi revived from the spring, furious. He hadn't expected the game mechanics to be so sophisticated; he'd have to study them carefully now.

Just then, Hun Miesheng suddenly appeared, looking mysterious, and said to Hun Tiandi, "Clan Leader, I have discovered a tremendous secret."

"What secret?" the Hun Tiandi asked, puzzled.

But then Hun Miesheng beamed with joy, so excited he almost jumped for joy on the spot.

Hun Miesheng said, "Clan Leader, I just discovered that you can buy amazing equipment in this canyon. The equipment here is much more powerful than the Inscribed Stone Tablet. Why don't I buy some useful equipment? Even if we lose this match, I can still take the equipment out with me."

The Hun Tiandi had also fallen victim to the trap set by his incompetent teammate, Hun Miesheng. His previously furrowed brows relaxed considerably.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."
