Chapter 1 The Champion

The scenery of the arena rippled, and when the ripples subsided, Zhang Yuanqing was back in his bedroom.

"Drip, drip..."

Blood dripped from his chest, the t-shirt in tatters, congealed with a layer of viscous blood.

Due to the depletion of Taiyin power, the penetrating wound in his chest had not completely healed and was still slowly dripping blood.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't feel any pain, probably because he was numb.

He walked to the full-length mirror by the window and saw his pale face. His clothes and pants were tattered. Apart from the shocking wound on his chest, his arms, cheeks, thighs, waist, and abdomen were all covered with claw marks and bruises.

Right now, he looked like a death row inmate who had just been severely tortured.

So tired, so uncomfortable... Zhang Yuanqing pulled the curtains shut, slowly sat on the ground, and lay down in a sprawling position.

Everything will be fine after a sleep. Sleep is the best rest. That guy Zhao Chenghuang is definitely receiving the life essence treatment now. The Ling second generation is so good. Us grassroots can't compare...

I won, I'm the champion, the Houtu Boots are in my hands... When I slipped away, my mind wasn't clear. I forgot to bring back the Yin corpse, but it doesn't matter, Fu Qingyang will retrieve it for me...

The feeling of exhaustion after the fierce battle surged in, probably along with hunger, but now he didn't have the energy to get up and eat.

...

No Trace Hotel, noon.

Xiao Yuan was uncharacteristically restless, frequently looking at her phone, checking messages, checking the time.

When the time reached 11:40, she finally couldn't help it and sent a message to Yuanshi Tianzun through the chat app:

"The competition is over."

The message sank without a trace, with no response.

Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, her chest rising high under her white shirt, and waited patiently.

At 12:30, after Xiao Yuan sent Kou Beiyue a message about bringing food, she dialed Yuanshi Tianzun's number.

"I'm sorry, the number you dialed is turned off..."

Listening to the voice prompt, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly. Has the competition not ended yet?

According to Yuanshi's statement, today's ultimate battle was to compete for the championship, and there were only him and Zhao Chenghuang. How long could a ring match last?

It's been a whole morning, how hasn't it ended yet?

To be honest, Xiao Yuan was very curious about the outcome of the competition, had certain expectations, but also felt that there was no need to have expectations. Yuanshi Tianzun, as a newcomer among the Lingjing Xingzhe, was already a pleasant surprise to be able to squeeze into the top three.

The possibility of winning the championship was small. If he could win the championship, it would only show that the official talents were withering.

At this moment, the door of the hotel opened, and a delivery guy wearing a blue safety helmet entered the hotel. He had handsome features, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes, like a fierce little wolfdog.

Kou Beiyue returned with the delivery box for delivery guys on his back.

He brought back a rich lunch for Xiao Yuan, as well as for himself.

During this period, Xiao Yuan had a knack for making money, buying Yuanshi Tianzun's information several times, and earning 200,000 for hunting Yin corpses for Yuanshi Tianzun. She was well-off, and her food had improved greatly.

After a period of delivering food, Kou Beiyue's face was no longer pale, but turned into a healthy wheat color.

Kou Beiyue, covered in sweat, stood at the air-conditioning outlet at the door, enjoying the cool breeze, before excitedly walking over and saying, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, when I was delivering food just now, I ran into 'Human Blood Mantou'."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Are you still in contact with him?"

Human Blood Mantou was a cadre under Gu Wang, the vice president of the Ling Neng Hui.

Human Blood Mantou made contributions in the Black Wuchang incident. Gu Wang appointed him to Jinshan City as a cadre to establish a Jinshan City office, specializing in attracting and recruiting evil professions.

This person had a strong obsession with delivering food. In the hot weather, he rode a small electric donkey and insisted on delivering food door-to-door.

He accidentally met Kou Beiyue.

Human Blood Mantou felt that Kou Beiyue, who also liked delivering food, was a promising talent, so he exchanged contact information.

Although Kou Beiyue strongly stated that he didn't like delivering food and was forced to do so by life, Human Blood Mantou didn't believe him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Kou Beiyue clamored, "That guy is not a good person. He is capricious and kills people without blinking an eye, but he is not bloodthirsty. He is a very ordinary bad person. Are there fewer bad people like this in the officialdom?"

Seeing Xiao Yuan's face darken, he quickly explained:

"I just want to get some information from him. It's better than you running to the black market every day, right? Just now, I found out an amazing piece of information.

"Amazing information?" Xiao Yuan sneered.

This child, Kou Beiyue, became a Guhuo zhi Yao (Bewitching Demon). Under her protection, he followed Master Wuhen to practice. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was not deeply involved in the world.

How would he know what information was important and what information was unimportant?

Most likely, Ren Xue Mantou casually gave him ordinary information.

-

He danced with joy and said:

"Ren Xue Mantou just forwarded me a message, which is the update notice of the reward list inside the Ling Neng Hui East Branch. Well, this is just the reward list of the Ling Neng Hui East Branch, but I think major evil organizations will also update it simultaneously within the next day or two."

The reward list has been updated? Xiao Yuan nodded slightly. That was indeed important information. The reward list of evil organizations would not be changed easily.

She took the phone handed over by Kou Beiyue and took a closer look:

"Extraordinary Realm Reward List Update:

"Yuanshi Tianzun, reward of 20 million, a Saint Realm item, and two Extraordinary Realm high-quality items."

"Zhao Chenghuang, 15 million, a Saint Realm item."

"Wei Wo Du Zun, 15 million, two Extraordinary Realm high-quality items."

"Sun Miaomiao, 10 million, two Extraordinary Realm high-quality items."

"Tudi Gong (Earth God), 15 million, an Extraordinary Realm high-quality item."

Zhao Chenghuang, who was originally at the top of the Extraordinary Realm list, dropped to second place, and the top of the list was suddenly Yuanshi Tianzun.

Xiao Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, and her bright face froze.

At this moment, after digesting this information, the only thought left in her mind was:

The ring match has a result.

Yuanshi Tianzun wins!

He beat Zhao Chenghuang. He actually beat Zhao Chenghuang... Xiao Yuan put down her phone, looked out of the hotel, and was stunned.

After a long while, she put down her phone and whispered:

"I'm going to see Master Wuhen."

Fu Jia Wan.

In the study, Ling Jun walked around the Yin corpse, examining it up and down, and said:

"A level 3 Guhuo zhi Yao (Bewitching Demon)'s corpse, and the aura of a Tu Guai (Earth Monster). Tsk tsk, where did Yuanshi Tianzun get this Yin corpse? I don't remember him applying for help from you, and you didn't say anything."

The Undead No. 1 was entangled by vines, roaring and struggling, trying to break free and kill the living people in his sight.

The instruction he received was to kill the enemy, defaulting to killing all living people.

The master slipped away after offending everyone and didn't have time to give him the order to stop fighting.

Fu Qingyang sat behind the desk and said calmly:

"You are not a member of the Five Elements Alliance, I don't need to tell you everything."

He changed the subject and said, "Go and inform Bunny Girl No. 2 to prepare for payment. Each member of the White Tiger Guard will be given a bonus of one million."

"Okay!" Ling Jun happily left.

Watching the trash leave, Fu Qingyang picked up his phone and opened the chat app.

. "

Five Elements Alliance, Elder Group.

[Elder Gou: Not bad, not bad, now the champions of the Extraordinary Realm and Saint Realm are all from our Five Elements Alliance.]

[Great Tang Military God: It's been many years since we've been so proud. Back then, when Marshal Woman hadn't risen, she also took the Extraordinary and Saint Realm championships in two stages.]

[Luoshen: Yuanshi Tianzun's talent is really amazing. His future achievements are limitless. Elder Sun's confused reputation cannot be erased.]

[Fire Sea War God: Interesting, this kid Yuanshi Tianzun, I like him very much. Let your White Tiger soldiers give him to my Red Fire Gang, ah ha ha ha.]

Usually, the elders rarely speak in this group. When there is something important to communicate, they jump out and say a few words. When nothing is happening, the group is dead silent.

However, several hours after the end of the arena competition, the elders were still commenting from time to time, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

In the elders' view, this year's arena competition was a complete crushing victory for the Five Elements Alliance over the Taiyi Sect, which was a great honor.

Reaching the Dominator Realm, they couldn't care less about ordinary interests, but face was more important.

Fu Qingyang chuckled. These "old things" bought Zhao Chenghuang without hesitation, without blinking an eye at a few million in funds, but when buying Yuanshi Tianzun, they were stingy with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

Now that Yuanshi Tianzun beat Zhao Chenghuang, they were all smiling.

That's right, a few million is small money to the elders, face is more important.

Fu Qingyang entered the information:

[Fu Qingyang: Thank you to all the elders for your generous donations!]

A simple sentence, but like a loud slap in the face.

The Elder Group, which originally had a good atmosphere, suddenly fell into silence.

No one spoke.

A dozen seconds later, Fu Qingyang saw the message pop up on the phone screen:

[You have been removed from the group chat]

He sat up with his tired body and looked down at his chest. The penetrating wound had long since healed, leaving no scars.

The wounds and bruises all over his body also disappeared.

.

His condition recovered by 30-40%, and he was so hungry... He got up with a dizzy head, took off his tattered clothes, took dry t-shirts, underpants, and a bath towel, and carefully came to the door, unscrewing the locked door.

He opened a crack, listening to the movement in the living room.

It was quiet outside, and his grandmother wasn't outside.

At this point in time, his idle grandfather should be outside taking a walk, chatting with acquaintances in the community, while his grandmother had gone to the vegetable market to buy ingredients for dinner.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly slipped into the bathroom, washed away the blood stains on his body, and then carried a mop back to his room, dragging the blood stains, blood, and sweat-condensed human-shaped outline on the ground clean.

Then, he put the tattered clothes and pants into a trash bag, went out and downstairs, and threw them into the trash can in the small building.

After doing all this, Zhang Yuanqing, clean and dry, turned around and went to the braised chicken shop outside the community, ordered three braised chickens, and saw obvious jealousy in the boss's eyes.

While waiting for the braised chicken to be served, he couldn't wait to take out his phone, turn off airplane mode, and then found out that there was a missed call from Fu Qingyang.

As usual, he first sent a message to Aunt Xiao Yuan about winning the championship, and then checked the congratulatory text messages one by one.

From Xie Lingxi's "Brother is so awesome" to Da Ji Ba's "Damn, you kid are heaven-defying."

From Li Dongze's "Oh, my God" to Guan Ya's "Congratulations, congratulations, from now on you will have abalone to go with the eel."

This woman's dirty jokes are getting more and more outrageous... Good student Zhang Yuanqing sent Guan Ya a shy emoji:

"I'm still a child, I don't understand what you're saying. Well, is Chef Bao free tonight? I'm hungry."

Then, he opened the White Tiger Guard group chat and saw Fu Qingyang's own message:

[Fu Qingyang: Remember to go to Fu Jia Wan when you wake up to retrieve your corpse.]

[You Feng Lai Yi: Help leader, long live!]

[Qi Ci Lang: Boss, long live!]

[Xiao Nao Fu: Thank you, help leader!]

[Heng Sao Tian Xia: Thank you, help leader!]

Even the White Tiger Guard members, who usually didn't show up, sent "Thank you, help leader" messages.

Huh? Why is no one chatting about me? Am I not the main character today? Zhang Yuanqing was a little dissatisfied and pulled down the chat information.

[Fu Qingyang: A bonus of one million every day, not including the year-end bonus and the year-end bonus.]

"!!!"

Zhang Yuanqing opened his mailbox and sure enough, saw the text message notification of one million being credited to his account.

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Centurion is immortal, unifying the world, obeying the heavens and enjoying eternal prosperity.]

The kowtow emoji of "Thank you, boss" was spamming the screen.

[Qi Ci Lang: Damn it, I can't lick him.]

[Xiao Nao Fu: ...]

[You Feng Lai Yi: Yuanshi Tianzun, don't you have the pride of a genius?]

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Under the centurion's magnificent holy light, my little firefly brilliance is not worth mentioning.]

After sending it, Zhang Yuanqing saw Fu Qingyang send him an exclusive red envelope.

[Fu Qingyang: Don't get me wrong, this is the champion's reward. I don't encourage bootlicking, everyone, don't follow suit.]

[You Feng Lai Yi: ....]

[Qi Ci Lang: ……]

[Xiao Nao Fu: …]

Exiting the group chat, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't wait to open the forum to see the official Xingzhe's evaluation of him.

This is the main event.

In the dimly lit bedroom, Zhu Rong, wearing a long dress, leaned lazily against the single sofa, with her slender jade legs crossed.

She looked at the young man in the study and said with a smile:

"Give me his blood."

ps: I will update the typos first and then modify them.
