The Three Victors

"Teng, are you the winner of the First Sequence?"

"Gao Gao, did you manage to get the Second Sequence?"

Zhou Yueyan went back with her head in her hands, while Zhang Xuezhou casually sent out some harassing messages.

He wasn't necessarily trying to uncover secrets; Zhang Xuezhou simply had some free time as the world transitioned.

After dealing with Zhou Yueyan, he didn't have much time left.

The effect of refining one's cultivation level was negligible. While one could improve through arduous training when one's cultivation level was low, Zhang Xuezhou found that the effect of arduous training was minimal after entering the Integration Realm.

Without decades of arduous practice, one can hardly expect any extraordinary effects from such rigorous training at this level.

Without Realm Entry, it's difficult to understand why great cultivators run around aimlessly or pursue power instead of staying home in seclusion to cultivate diligently. It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou entered the Body Transformation Realm that he truly understood this feeling.

When efforts don't yield immediate returns, few people will persevere and instead seek shortcuts.

For example, they might seek out heavenly materials and earthly treasures to find extraordinary opportunities, pursue power to obtain information from high-ranking officials, or use their achievements to exchange for the rewards they dream of.

The Yedie River Holy Land will also announce the formal graduation of apprentices during this training phase. Apart from meeting the standards in terms of ability, the Sacred Land will find it difficult to provide these people with any further room for improvement.

This requires apprentices to descend the mountain to seek their own fortuitous opportunity, rather than getting bogged down in day-to-day asceticism.

The effects of arduous training at this stage are negligible, and the Divine Ability Realm is not something one can enter at will; it can only hone one's proficiency in Technique Method.

Zhang Xuezhou did the same. He used his Law Power to activate some of the evasion techniques, and when he had used up most of them, he had nothing to do.

"Even if I get it, it's useless. I'll be saying goodbye to my dad when I receive the reward," Luo Gaogao replied.

"That's better than you not getting a reward at all," Zhang Xuezhou comforted him.

"People's joys and sorrows are always so uncommon; I am very sad right now," Luo Gaogao replied.

"Where are you feeling down? Want to come over and have a good drink?"

"I'm in very poor health right now, I can't take your vomiting medication!"

Luo Gaogao posted a photo, and seeing the other person covered in plasters, Zhang Xuezhou felt that Luo Gaogao's victory was truly hard-won.

"Once you're better, if you feel like crying or vomiting, come to us. We guarantee you'll be able to vent your emotions here," Zhang Xuezhou offered.

"I'll definitely come if needed!"

Luo Gaogao responded rather dejectedly, showing no joy whatsoever in his victory.

"He remained so calm even after receiving 100 million in cash; Gao Gao is truly a role model for us all!"

The conversation with Luo Gaogao came to an end, and Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to close the communication page, then clicked his tongue in amazement and praised her.

"Zhang Xuezhou, can I use the belt now?"

"You have to wait in line!"

Can I cut in line?

"Cannot!"

"I got a lot of blood serum this time, but I might not be able to use two of them that involve tigers and leopards. If you let me cut in line today, I can give those two high-grade blood serums to your sister!"

"Teng, it's been a while since we last met you, and you've become much more enlightened! Come over here, we'd love to welcome you today!"

After finishing his conversation with Luo Gaogao, Zhang Xuezhou then began his exchange with Zuo Teng.

Like Luo Gaogao, Zuo Teng also won the First Sequence battle.

Luo Gaogao could only lie on the medical bed at this moment, while Zuo Teng was still able to promote the absorption of the blood agent, which undoubtedly proved that Zuo Teng had an almost absolute advantage in the First Sequence.

Aside from not being able to beat Zhang Manqian, Zuo Teng indeed has very few rivals in the First Sequence.

"Is Zuo Teng really that generous?" Zhang Manqian asked doubtfully.

"Besides the urgent need to accelerate the absorption of the blood serum, he probably wants to use it all up as quickly as possible, even if it means sending it out," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If Zuo Teng has this kind of intention, then I can guess the outcome of the Third Sequence!"

"You mean Zuo Jin lost?" Zhang Manqian asked doubtfully.

"There are too many veterans in the Third Sequence," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Zuo Jin is strong in the Third Sequence, but that doesn't mean he's absolutely strong. Besides, he's not only fought Zuo Quan seven times these past few days, but he was also beaten up by Professor Luo Hui. I'm afraid his condition is somewhat problematic."

"That's a pity!"

"It's not a big loss, anyway, this has nothing to do with us!"

"That's right, that guy even drew my blood before, losing it really makes me feel better!"

Zhang Manqian thought for a moment and then nodded.

While Luo Gaogao and Zuo Teng might have some connection, they have absolutely no connection with Zuo Jin.

Even if they interact with each other, the other party will only bring trouble, not any benefit.

Zhang Manqian had been busy for nearly half a month. Now that she had some free time, she took a break and waited for Zhang Xuezhou to fall asleep before tidying up. She chatted with Zhang Xuezhou.

When Zhang Manqian glanced at the wall clock, she saw that only fifteen minutes remained.

"Want to check out Mom's livestream? She's started selling goods in Mengzhong Province. She's selling a kind of delicious mixed nut product from there, I think it's called something like 'Maren Tang'," Zhang Manqian said with interest. "The only downside to this Maren Tang is that it's expensive!"

"My mom has gathered the largest paying audience in the live streaming user group; these people are willing to spend the money," Zhang Xuezhou said. "But these people aren't stupid; they'll lose interest after trying it once. Only a few will likely place repeat orders!"

Should we go and help out with two orders?

"Sure!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded. He was about to switch the camera to the Feiyu live streaming software when he saw an avatar that hadn't moved for a long time start flashing repeatedly, sending a continuous stream of messages.

Zhang Xuezhou's contact list was extremely utilitarian; apart from his parents and sister, most of the people on it were people he needed to please or cooperate with.

But Zhang Xuezhou's contact list did indeed have one person who fawned over him.

This is an actor Zhang Xuezhou met while filming "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer." The actor who played the male lead Linghu Chong, Ning Que, had the contact name Dongfang Sheng45.

Ning Que usually doesn't send messages, but right now he's being bombarded with them.

For someone like Ning Que, if the other party is well aware of his lack of value, he might only ask for help once. This is why Ning Que usually keeps quiet and doesn't send any dry greetings.

"The winner of the sequencing group is Ning Que? How is that possible?"

It took nearly two years from the end of filming to the broadcast on television stations across the country for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

The TV series' broadcast was constantly hampered by administrative restrictions, and there were also instances of maliciously scheduling midnight screenings. It was a case of "where there's a will, there's a way," and Zhang Xuezhou and others ended up with less than four million in shares.

As the public opinion in the local area and Western Capital City continued to clash, the influence of this TV series diminished, with Western Capital City exerting some influence while the local area passively resisted.

Despite the show's lukewarm reception, Zhang Xuezhou was surprised that Ning Que, who played Linghu Chong, became an overnight sensation.

How did you win the championship in sequencing?

Zhang Xuezhou had been watching Ning Que's constant stream of messages and couldn't help but ask questions.

"I just fought when I could win, and when I couldn't, I ran away and used the Dugu Nine Swords to heal my injuries. I kept fighting, and after 43 matches in eleven days, they said I won the finals!"

"..."

The Dugu Nine Swords is the Supreme Purity True Technique interspersed within the novel *The Smiling, the Smiling, Proud Wanderer *.

Zhang Xuezhou had only given Ning Que some Origin-Nurturing Pill and ointments before, but Zhang Xuezhou never expected that Ning Que would break through the sequencing level with this all-purpose approach.

This fighting style is not unusual. Zhang Manqian used the same approach when she was competing in the sequencing arena, and she still does so now.

The protective gear makes it rare for a single blow to kill someone during the sequencing phase. By using the Supreme Purity True Technique to suppress injuries, it is possible to stabilize the injury after only a short period of rest, thus reversing the situation and turning the tide. There are also tactics such as trading blows for blows.

This technique can be considered a powerful tool in the battle during the sequencing phase.

Zhang Xuezhou hadn't expected that Ning Que would actually manage to struggle his way up using this technique.
