Chapter 1 Inviting Guan Ya Home for Dinner?

Invite Guan Ya to my house for dinner? I wouldn't dream of it. You'll forget about it in a few days… Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself. He had to admit, he was quite fond of Guan Ya. Who wouldn't love a hot, curvy older woman? And she was a real looker, who had taken care of him since he joined the force, and helped him a lot.

As a 21-year-old, hot-blooded youth, prone to headaches from overthinking, it was only natural to be attracted to such a mature and charming older sister.

Zhang Yuanqing could sense it. Guan Ya was also fond of him. In reality, most couples don't need to go through life-or-death situations to become lovers. That's just in melodramatic TV shows. Real relationships often develop from everyday interactions, shared personalities, mutual attraction, and a natural progression into dating.

But he and Guan Ya clearly weren't at that stage yet. Inviting her to dinner at his house felt a bit inappropriate. What if she refused? Although he was good at socializing, he didn't want to risk losing face... "It's Guan Ya's flashy sports car that's causing all this trouble. She's beautiful, and I'm handsome and young, but I don't earn much. It's normal to be suspected of being a gigolo, really. Those old busybodies with their pensions, they have nothing better to do than gossip..." He grumbled as he opened the thread he'd just seen.

#Predicting this Year's Arena Competition Format Based on Previous Years#

"First, let's talk about the venue. In previous years, the competitions have always been held in the five major factions' exclusive dungeons. This might be hard for newcomers to understand, so let me explain. There's something called a faction token. A faction token will generate a 'faction-exclusive dungeon' that only members of that faction can enter."

"After conquering a faction dungeon, the faction leader becomes the administrator of that dungeon, with some basic permissions, including the ability to open it up at will..." So the venue was in the Five Elements Alliance's faction dungeon. That made sense. Holding a "sports meet" in the real world would make it difficult to choose a venue. They'd have to choose some sparsely populated, remote area. With the number of Five Elements Alliance members, a large-scale outing would be dangerous, and they could be easily attacked by evil professions.

Secondly, a sports meet venue could easily be "nuked" by evil professions, killing a large number of people. Finally, if the official Spirit Adventurers evacuated the cities they were responsible for on a large scale, the evil professions could take advantage of the opportunity to create unrest.

Zhang Yuanqing solved a puzzle in his mind.

Speaking of which, he also had an exclusive dungeon, but because he hadn't recruited enough members, the faction-exclusive dungeon hadn't been opened yet.

"Getting back to the point, in the past few years, the arena competitions have focused on wrestling, the kind where everyone understands you get on stage and fight. But considering the Five Elements' cycle of creation and destruction, arena competitions aren't particularly fair, so 'scene-based' competitions have been randomly added. 'Scene-based' competitions are similar to the multi-player combat dungeon mode that everyone has experienced, except that in arena competitions, it's one-on-one. This year, the Taiyi Sect and the Five Elements Alliance are co-hosting the arena competition, and I boldly predict that scene-based competitions will have more supernatural elements. Everyone should hurry up and collect items and materials that can restrain spirits." The comments below were: "Good prediction, don't predict next time."

"Did I even read anything? It's like I didn't read anything at all. Did you really need to predict that? A fool could have thought of it." Although there were a lot of people complaining, it was a good popular science post for newcomers like me. Scene-based competitions were really unexpected, but also logical… Zhang Yuanqing sighed inwardly. Scene-based arenas would increase the variables, and test not only individual martial strength, but also adaptability to the environment and the use of external forces, greatly increasing the possibility of the weak defeating the strong.

Zhang Yuanqing felt that this was the correct way to play Lingjing Xingzhe (Spirit Adventurer). Whether in a dungeon or in reality, the focus was always on comprehensive strength, not just "martial strength."

"My main body's strength is strong for level 3, but not top-notch. Fortunately, I have the Yin-Yang Law Robe. Hmm, the Yin-Yang Law Robe also has its limits. It's especially troublesome when I encounter enemies who aren't afraid of water or fire…" Zhang Yuanqing put away his phone, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and headed out the door, about to go to the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau. "Di di…" Just as he was walking towards the entrance, he heard the sound of a password being entered outside the door. "Aunt?" The woman who came in was wearing casual home clothes, her hair permed into a fashionable wave, her face beautiful and well-maintained. It was his aunt.

"Yuanzi!" His aunt enthusiastically grabbed him, and took out a red banknote from her pocket. "Auntie is giving you some pocket money. Although you've been saying that we're family and there's no need to be so polite, Auntie still wants to thank you." "Thank you Auntie, I'm running short on cash. It's too expensive to take girls out to eat. I'm dating someone recently, give me some more next time I'm out of money." Zhang Yuanqing happily accepted. His auntie's eyes widened, and she laughed even more happily.

…Northern, remote suburban villa.

The villa with its white marble exterior was built on the mountainside. A wide, winding road extended from the villa gate and connected to the national highway at the foot of the mountain. The area covered a full two acres. In addition to the main building, it also had a garden full of fragrant flowers. The yard was filled with a large swimming pool. Several tall, beautiful women in swimsuits were either playing in the pool, applying sunscreen to each other, or serving plates of food. The yard and villa, the poolside was lined with tables, which were filled with sumptuous dishes and fine wines. At first glance, it looked like a grand party.

But on closer inspection, one would find that there were few men besides a gaunt man lying on a large sun lounger.

In addition, the swimsuit beauties in the villa, while playing and enjoying food, would often observe the man, their eyes filled with fear and caution. The gaunt man's skin was dark, and he was so thin that he had almost no body fat. The ribs on his chest and abdomen were clearly visible.

At this time, a fair-skinned and graceful woman was straddling his waist, biting her lip and frowning. She seemed to be enduring great pain. Painful moans drifted from her nostrils from time to time. The dark, thin man's skin formed a sharp contrast with the fair-skinned woman.

This process lasted for more than ten minutes. The girl was covered in sweat, her lips were pale, and she showed signs of exhaustion. The dark, thin man casually pushed the girl away, and said indifferently, "Next!" A tall woman who had been waiting to the side had a flash of fear in her eyes, and sat down on him with a pale face. The dark, thin man was none other than the Lust Divine General of the Soldiers of Heaven Sect, a level 6 Mist Master, and ranked fourth among the eight Divine Generals.

"Lust" was not his Spirit Realm ID. His original ID had long been forgotten. From the day he was promoted to a Rule Enforcer, his previous ID was no longer used. Shura bestowed upon him the word "Lust." Lust Divine General, as the name suggests, when it came to bloodlust, he was not outstanding among the Bewitching Demons, but when it came to lust, few in the world could compare with him.

The Lust Divine General was a lecher who couldn't move his legs when he saw a beautiful woman. All the women he took a fancy to eventually became slaves raised in cages, for him to satisfy his desires.

And some women who couldn't be plundered for some reason, he would use coercion, temptation, and other methods to maintain a long-term relationship, and finally train them into slaves who could be summoned and dismissed at will with his unique methods.

In addition, some high-quality "goods" who had been trained to be obedient would be released by the Lust Divine General to serve successful people in all walks of life, and even dignitaries. They became the Lust Divine General's connections and channels.

In one ecstasy after another, the Lust Divine General was about to reach his peak, when a cold voice sounded in his ear, "Although you are free to do anything, I have been waiting for you for half an hour. My patience is running out." The Lust Divine General turned his head with a ferocious expression. He hated being disturbed when he was doing things the most.

But when he saw the man speaking clearly, the ferocity on the Lust Divine General's face quickly froze. Then, he pushed the woman away and fell to his knees, saying obsequiously, "Subordinate greets Fear Heavenly King!" Under the parasol, stood a young man in a black suit, handsome, elegant, with two silver studs embedded in his earlobes. His eyes were as cold as his expression. Fear Heavenly King, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the strongest under Shura.

There was not much outside information about his battle record. There were only two things - one was that Peng Jun was beaten by him, and the other was that the Blood Enforcer Kong Kelun once fought Fear Heavenly King to the death. The outcome was unknown, but Fear Heavenly King was still Fear Heavenly King. The young man in the black suit said indifferently, "Demon Eye has lost contact in Songhai. Before losing contact, he wanted to kill the Palace Master of Stop Killing Palace. Go to Songhai to maintain the operation of the black market there, and also investigate the cause of Demon Eye's disappearance." Demon Eye Heavenly King is missing? That lunatic finally got tricked?

The Lust Divine General's first reaction was joy. If he hated anyone the most, it was definitely Demon Eye, because Demon Eye had once hunted him down because he had raped and killed a weak woman.

For a Bewitching Demon, was this even a thing?

But that lunatic had a strong obsession with cleansing the human world. Demon Eye's attitude towards the evil deeds of the Soldiers of Heaven Sect's Bewitching Demons was to turn a blind eye. If he saw it, he would kill it.

The Lust Divine General was so frightened that he fled back to headquarters. In the end, Shura suppressed the conflict. After that, the Lust Divine General would never go to any place where Demon Eye was. "Subordinate obeys!" The Lust Divine General said respectfully.

The young man in the black suit nodded slightly. His eyes swept over the beauties, and he looked towards the villa gate, saying, "When I came, I found that the villa gate was locked. Why was the gate locked? Aren't they free?" Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on the Lust Divine General's forehead, and he said repeatedly, "They are free, they are free. As long as they want to go out, subordinate will immediately unlock the lock. Subordinate would never dare to restrict their freedom. Everyone is born free, and no one shall restrict the freedom of others for any reason." Facing Demon Eye, he could still struggle to the death.

If this one turned ruthless, he would not have a chance to struggle at all. Fear Heavenly King nodded with satisfaction, his voice cold, "Next time I see you locking the door, you should prepare to return to the Spirit Realm. Poor Demon Eye, he has lost his freedom. I cannot tolerate such a thing happening. I must rescue him." The Lust Divine General prostrated himself on the ground, "Subordinate will definitely investigate the truth of Demon Eye's disappearance." When he looked up, he found that Fear Heavenly King was already gone.

Behind the Public Security Bureau building, the two-story glass building.

Under Guan Ya's guidance, Zhang Yuanqing used a computer to log into the official forum, clicked on the newly added "Hot Registration" option on the homepage, then entered his Spirit Realm ID, and then entered the mobile phone verification code to confirm registration.

"That's it!" Guan Ya, who was standing at the desk, nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Sister Guan Ya, are you free today? Come to my house for a meal?" Zhang Yuanqing asked tentatively. Guan Ya examined him for a few moments and smiled, "Are you testing me?" Alas, no small thoughts can be hidden from a scout… Zhang Yuanqing told the truth, "My cousin told my grandma about the promotion, and my family wants to invite you to dinner to thank you." A scout can only see "clues," but cannot read minds. The reason Zhang Yuanqing gave was impeccable.

"Your grandma has met me before. Let's talk about it after the arena competition." Guan Ya did not refuse, but did not immediately agree.

Oh right, grandma has met her before. Grandma will definitely think that I hooked up with Guan Ya at that time. Zhang Yuanqing could almost guess what grandma would imagine when she saw Guan Ya. A beautiful police officer came to the house to investigate a case, saw her handsome grandson, and became lustful. She secretly launched a strategy, and finally got the innocent grandson. Or, the grandson saw the beautiful police officer, and shamelessly flirted with her. In the end, the chaste woman couldn't resist the persistent man, and they got together. If it was the former, grandma would definitely feel resentful, thinking that this Guan Ya was using her position to seduce her grandson. And if it was the latter, grandma would be very happy, thinking that her grandson was indeed very good, and had actually managed to chase after a police officer. The same thing, the attitude is very different depending on the angle. "Sister Guan Ya, are you going to participate in the arena competition?" Zhang Yuanqing asked. "I'm considering it…" Guan Ya frowned and said, "If I participate in the arena competition, my rifle probably won't be usable, and you know that a Transcendent stage Scout lacks powerful attack skills, so it's difficult to achieve good results." Her rifle was the kind that if you could defend against it, you would be fine; if you couldn't defend against it, you would definitely die!

There was almost no possibility of stopping after a point, so such items were not allowed to be used in the arena competition. Any item that could kill with one hit was prohibited from use. Zhang Yuanqing said "Oh," "Then Chief will also not participate?" Guan Ya nodded and smiled, "But he definitely won't admit that it's because his combat power is not good enough that he gave up participating." Zhang Yuanqing also laughed, "I guess he will say that the arena competition is just being watched like a monkey, it's not elegant at all, I refuse to participate." After saying that, Zhang Yuanqing poked his head towards the Chief's office and shouted, "Chief, are you going to participate in the arena competition?" A few seconds later, Li Dongze came out with his cane, and reprimanded,

"Don't shout loudly in the office area, it's not elegant! Hmm, I won't participate." Zhang Yuanqing asked casually, "Why?" Li Dongze said with a serious face, "Because fighting in front of a group of people is not elegant, I don't like being watched like a monkey." Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya looked at each other and smiled. "What are you laughing at?" Li Dongze frowned. "We didn't laugh." "You were laughing."… The next afternoon, Zhang Yuanqing, who was repeatedly browsing the official forum, finally saw the list of the top twenty experts through big data analysis and comparison by the scholars. #Official Saint Realm Top Twenty List (including Taiyi Sect)# #Official Transcendent Realm Top Twenty List (including Taiyi Sect)# I wonder what rank I'll be. Zhang Yuanqing couldn't wait to click on the second post.

ps: Recommend Xin Yi's "Let Go of My Painted Skin Immortal", the story is very good, everyone can go and take a look!

I will update the typos first and then revise them later. In order to code words well, I deleted "Honor of Kings", and I will quit it in the future and return to the right path.
