My Favorite Thing Is Watching Beautiful Women Fight

Having just adjusted her footing, Dugu Yan once again found herself surrounded by the bone beasts. Ye Lingling watched anxiously from the side, frustrated that she had a healing-type martial soul and none of Ning Rongrong's good fortune in snagging Gu Zhi's system rewards.

"I'm giving you one more chance!"

Meng Yiran stood calmly, sweeping her Snake Lance and scattering the bone beasts. She was actually preparing for another head-on duel with Dugu Yan.

"Oh no! She got a taste for it!"

"You all used to say I was weak in close combat, and I never argued! Now tell me! What should you call Meng Yiran?"

"Oh my god! It's Lady Yiran! I'm so scared I'm crying!"

The exaggerated tone of the barrage comments irritated Dugu Yan. After taking a brief moment to regulate her breathing, she used serpentine footwork and charged Meng Yiran at incredible speed.

Meng Yiran held the Snake Lance horizontally before her without moving a single step, effortlessly neutralizing Dugu Yan's attacks one by one.

Besides the stat boosts from the rewards, the beginner- and intermediate-level cultivation techniques had also played a crucial role in Meng Yiran's astonishing transformation.

Tang San had stood out among geniuses precisely because of the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Naturally, the techniques granted by the system could accomplish the same.

At that moment, Meng Yiran was using a beginner-level technique called the Spirit Serpent Skill. It contained both offensive and defensive moves, making it profoundly unpredictable.

Native contestants like Dugu Yan could not compare to the exquisite techniques refined within cultivation arts. As the barrage comments put it, this one-on-one fight was plainly an old man playing with a child!

After exchanging more than a dozen moves with Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran sent her flying again with a single palm strike.

Ye Lingling's healing was indeed formidable. Dugu Yan had fought this fiercely, yet there was not a hint of injury on her body. If her stats had not been inferior, Meng Yiran would have been the one with a headache right now.

"Nine-Hearted Begonia... worthy of being the world's number one healing-type martial soul..."

Just as Ye Lingling focused on healing Dugu Yan, Gu Zhi suddenly teleported to her side like a ghost. He startled her so badly that she immediately swung a slap at him.

"Am I really that scary?"

Gu Zhi casually dodged. He had not intended to intervene, but Ye Lingling's healing was a little too unfair. For the sake of fairness in Meng Yiran and Dugu Yan's battle, he could only step in and restrict Ye Lingling's ability.

"Freeze!"

At Gu Zhi's command, the Soul Power around Ye Lingling instantly came to a standstill. Fortunately, she could still move her body. Otherwise, it would have been hard not to wonder whether Gu Zhi's ability might affect some rather strange places...

"Looks like I won!"

The moment Ye Lingling's healing stopped, Dugu Yan fell into an absolute disadvantage almost simultaneously. Meng Yiran struck with her palm, sending Dugu Yan flying more than ten meters before she finally stopped. It took her a long while to recover.

"We lost! Are you satisfied now?"

Ye Lingling glared at Gu Zhi in annoyance. Once she conceded defeat, Gu Zhi lifted the immobilization effect. Ye Lingling immediately circulated her Soul Power to heal Dugu Yan, and the results were immediate.

"No way! Forget Meng Yiran—Gu Zhi is seriously absurdly overpowered!"

"Even though I already knew the outcome! This battle was still incredibly exciting! I'm going to rewatch it later!"

"What a pity! If only my baby Yanyan had met Gu Zhi earlier! If she'd had Meng Yiran's opportunities too, it really wouldn't be certain who would win!"

"Now I'm even more looking forward to a fight between Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran! Those two should be the closest in strength right now! They've both received so many benefits too! Their fight would definitely be even more exciting!"

"Don't forget Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu! They should have the strength to fight as well! But if they really went at it, it would probably turn into a chaotic battle of laws in the end!"

"Right! If Zhu Zhuqing and the others fought to the end, it would definitely come down to whose mechanics were stronger! Their stats are all fairly balanced, and none of their mechanics absolutely counter the others! It's really impossible to say who would win or lose!"

Because of Meng Yiran's outrageous performance, the barrage comments had already begun looking forward to a match between Zhu Zhuqing's group and Meng Yiran. Against a contestant like Meng Yiran, only Zhu Zhuqing and the others, who also possessed both stats and mechanics, could contend with her.

[Congratulations on helping host Gu Zhi win a two-versus-two match. This is your reward.]

[Congratulations on participating in a two-versus-two match victory with host Gu Zhi. This is your reward.]

Amid the barrage's chatter, Meng Yiran had already snagged Gu Zhi's system reward. Then the viewers suddenly realized in surprise that Meng Yiran was not the only one who had received a reward—Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had also received notifications that their rewards had arrived!

"What is going on?! Why did my baby Yanyan get a reward too?"

"Could it be that under this beginner mission, even becoming Gu Zhi's opponent lets you snag rewards? Holy shit! Isn't that basically taking off?"

"The guy above figured it out! Damn, only one person could snag rewards before, but now three people can do it together! The wool is practically getting shaved bare!"

"So is Gu Zhi some kind of wish-granting genie? I'm dying!"

"The historian is here! Today's rewards for Meng Yiran, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling: one portion of third-level Soul Power, one Soul Ring age increase, one Millennium Soul Bone, one beginner martial soul enhancement, and one Marrow-Cleansing Pill!"

"Looking at it now! The stat rewards for this beginner mission aren't low either! And there are still eight matches left!"

"Only the first time should give such generous rewards, right? Otherwise, these rewards would be way too ridiculous!"

"What a shame Zhu Zhuqing isn't here! Otherwise, everything would be clear if she joined a match!"

Only after reading the barrage comments did the still-stunned Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling understand what had happened, and smiles immediately bloomed across their faces. So they could snag rewards this way too—the hardship they had endured earlier had not been for nothing!

Meng Yiran's reaction was no less intense. Counting the rewards she had just snagged, the rewards she had received had already caught up to Zhu Zhuqing's!

"Um! Please wait!"

After leaving the stage, Gu Zhi was about to take Meng Yiran to meet up with Liu Erlong when Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling caught up from behind.

In truth, there were far more beautiful women from Douluo at the Great Soul Arena than just them. Shui Bing'er and her sister had also quietly followed them here, though they had yet to find a reason to approach.

"Is there something else you two need?"

Gu Zhi glanced at the silent Meng Yiran. He found it strange that she had not helped stop these other romantic prospects, but he still responded to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"Just getting acquainted! I'm Ye Lingling, and this is Dugu Yan. We're both students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Ye Lingling was preparing to use a home-invasion-style method of making friends. Dragging Dugu Yan along, she intended to latch onto Gu Zhi.

"Gu Zhi, unemployed. This is Meng Yiran, my companion."

A trace of surprise flashed through Gu Zhi's eyes. Ever since Zhu Zhuqing, it seemed that the beauties from the original story had suddenly started clinging to him. But why exactly was that?

Could being handsome really let someone do whatever he wanted?
