OI~ Kid, things are heating up

A sudden silence wasn't scary. An awkward atmosphere was.

Question marks appeared over everyone's heads when they heard that name.

Where the hell had this Liu Guanyi of the Liu Family crawled out from?

Wang Zhuo patted Feng XingTong on the shoulder. "Great introduction. Don't do it again."

"Hehehe, I was just trying to make you look good, Brother Liu." Feng XingTong chuckled.

Was this supposed to make me look good? This was nothing but a complete embarrassment.

"Hahaha." Zhang Zhiwei's hearty laughter rang out as the Ten Elders followed in his footsteps.

"It's good to be young, so full of vigor and vitality."

"Old Celestial Master!"

"So that's the Old Celestial Master."

"And those members of the Ten Elders. They're all famous names."

At the appearance of the man who stood at the very pinnacle, the Outsiders all cried out in astonishment.

Zhang Zhiwei stood on a simple wooden platform. "Sorry for the wait, everyone. Besides the rituals, this Luotian Grand Ceremony is also an opportunity for us Qi practitioners to exchange knowledge."

"Of course, you didn't come here to discuss the Dao with a bunch of old men like us. I was young and hot-blooded once myself."

"So I won't waste any more words. Since you're all so eager to spar, let's begin."

As Zhang Zhiwei announced the start, a young Taoist attendant placed a huge red box on the table.

"Everyone, please come forward to draw a slip..."

Everyone immediately lined up, and several hundred people began drawing lots.

Seated in his wheelchair, Tian Jinzong kept his eyes on Zhang Chulan the entire time, never looking away for even a moment.

"Senior brother, is that Zhang Chulan? The grandson of that big-eared rascal Huaiyi..."

"That big-eared rascal left behind a fine-looking grandson. Much better-looking than he was."

"Ah, if only I could have back then..."

Zhang Zhiwei immediately cut him off. "Jinzong, enough. What happened back then was my fault. If I hadn't sent you alone, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Soon, Wang Zhuo and Zhang Chulan had drawn their slips and stood to one side to examine them.

Yi White Tiger

Bing Qinglong

After confirming that they weren't in the same arena, Zhang Chulan visibly relaxed, his shoulders sagging.

Once everyone had finished drawing, Zhang Zhiwei said, "Everyone, take a look at the information written on your slips."

"Since we have limited space, the heavenly stems indicate the order in which you'll enter the arenas."

"As for the animals beneath them, there are four of each animal. Those who drew the same animal will enter together to compete."

"Only one of them will advance to the next round."

Those words undoubtedly put enormous pressure on Zhang Chulan.

Wang Zhuo, meanwhile, stood there lazily, paying no attention to any of it.

Record information on the Outsiders? One fight will tell me what they're made of.

As a direct subordinate, Wang Zhuo had a simple assignment this time: gather all the information and abilities of these Outsiders.

"Baobao, Brother Liu, Brother Zhang, what did you draw?" Feng XingTong jogged over immediately after drawing his lot, waving his slip.

"Hahaha, I'm Bing Arena Green Turtle. I won't be up until the third round."

"Jia Flower Deer."

"Yi White Tiger."

"Bing Qinglong."

The three of them had drawn Jia, Yi, and Bing respectively.

"Huh?! The first round!!" Feng XingTong and Zhang Chulan were both rather surprised.

Feng XingTong looked at Wang Zhuo. "But you're in the Bing round, Brother Liu. I'll definitely come watch. I've never seen what you can do, so don't hold anything back."

Was this kid really stupid, or was he pretending?

Zhang Chulan's heart tightened. Who asked about someone else's trump cards right off the bat? How was that any different from grabbing someone's pants and asking what color underwear they were wearing today?

Wang Zhuo didn't take it to heart. "Ah, of course. All of you should come watch, or I'll be very bored."

[New mission: Carry a boombox and make your entrance in Sheriff Woody's style!]

[Reward: Top-Tier Three Types of Haki!]

Haha. How the fuck is this any different from telling me to pull down my pants and take a shit?

Could you please treat your host like a human being?!

What kind of bullshit entrance is that?!

[Refuse, and your dick gets twenty centimeters shorter.]

Heh. A mere flesh wound.

I just really like dancing my way into an entrance, that's all. System, please don't misunderstand.

As the saying goes, promoting national traditions is everyone's essential duty.

The morning passed quickly. First, Feng Baobao won without a fight, and finally, No-Swaying Shamelessness made his name.

By the afternoon's Bing round, most of the audience had already left. Those who remained were mostly Outsiders gathering information.

But the stands were unusually lively for the Bing Qinglong match.

The Feng Family siblings, the Nadutong quartet, Hidden Dragon, and other information snoopers all focused their attention on this fight.

"Is this Liu Guanyi really that popular? So many people came to watch." Hidden Dragon couldn't help clicking his tongue, never once considering the man's face.

Zhang Chulan stood beside Feng Baobao at the railing. "Liu Guanyi, I've already embarrassed myself this badly. There's no way I'm letting you get away unscathed!"

The thought of being cursed by thousands made Zhang Chulan seethe.

Feng XingTong looked at his sister. "Sis, do you really think that highly of him?"

"It's not that. It's intuition." Feng Shayan stared at the entrance.

"He's definitely terrifyingly strong!"

"Oh? Now I'm curious, if my daughter thinks so highly of him." Feng Zhenghao adjusted his glasses.

The referee waved a small flag from his stand. "Bing Qinglong, enter the arena at once!"

Three figures soon entered the arena, led by Jia Zhengliang, with two nobodies accompanying him.

Apart from Jia Zhengliang, the other two wore hostile expressions and glared fiercely at the others.

"Mom, stop worrying. I'll come home once I've avenged my big brother. Relax." Jia Zhengliang paid no attention to anyone else and carried on with his phone call.

"Jia Zhengliang. He's facing this guy right off the bat..." Zhang Chulan narrowed his eyes, some doubts arising in his mind.

Zhuge Qing and Zhang Lingyu both glanced over, but after a brief look, they turned their eyes back to the entrance. Clearly, a mere Jia Zhengliang wasn't enough to warrant their concern.

What exactly was that man waiting for?

Seeing that someone still hadn't come out, the referee shouted, "Liu Guanyi! Liu Guanyi! Hurry up and get out here!"

"You're the only one missing!"

"Did this Liu Guanyi run away?!" Zhang Chulan clicked his tongue to himself.

He had embarrassed himself this badly alongside the man, yet the man actually dared to flee before the battle.

Under everyone's expectant gazes, Wang Zhuo took his time coming out. He placed a huge boombox at the edge and pressed the switch.

"OI, OI, kid, feeling the heat?!"

"The main character always enters last!"

Just then, [Telephone Love] blasted throughout the entire arena.

Everyone: ??????????
