Chapter 180 The Powerful Corpse
The official members of The Way of the Extraordinary around him, like sharks that had smelled blood, turned their heads with incredible speed, eager to see what Yuanshi Tianzun looked like. The Queen glanced around, then looked back, seeing faces filled with astonishment, excitement, and elation, and gazes fixed in his direction. Almost all the official members of The Way of the Extraordinary in this area had heard Jiang Jingwei's loud voice.
"It's Yuanshi Tianzun, a living one! Finally, I get to see him. Just like 'Please Call Me Queen' said on the forum, he's very handsome and young." "Yeah, yeah, I like this kind of young puppy. He didn't disappoint me in person, but why are there so many women around him? Is he a heartbreaker like Hua Gongzi?" "It's normal for a young puppy with good looks, strength, and youth to be popular. Another little brother to follow, he will definitely become a Saint in the future."
"I want to go ask for an autograph, looking forward to his performance."
Truly the center of attention, this is what a star player is like... The Queen was both envious and emotional.
She was the kind of person who liked standing in the spotlight, so she often surfed the internet, making her presence felt everywhere. Her ID name was also a reflection of her inner self. Therefore, besides envy, she also felt a sense of "shared glory" and enjoyed the feeling of being noticed while sitting next to Yuanshi Tianzun.
"Yuanshi Tianzun," Annie, who had stopped in her tracks behind me, suddenly turned her head, her gaze quickly scanning the crowd behind her before finally settling on Zhang Yuanqing.
At that moment, information about "Yuanshi Tianzun" flashed through Annie's mind. A rising genius in the Songhai branch of the Five Elements Alliance, in his early twenties... Both details matched. Could it be that he is Yuanshi Tianzun? At this time, Jiang Jingwei had already happily run to Zhang Yuanqing and Guan Ya's side, excitedly saying, "I've been looking for you for a long time, finally found you." It really is him! Annie's expression instantly became complicated.
It turned out that the ordinary young man, the ordinary official member of The Way of the Extraordinary she had always thought he was, was the famous young genius of the Songhai branch.
Having cleared two S-class Spirit Realms in a row, promoted to Level 3 in less than three months, such a person was enough to be placed on the desks of the leaders of major overseas Spirit Realm organizations, becoming a key observation target.
Back then, Demon Lord was only noticed by the Goddess Association at the Level 4 Saint stage. But that was because Demon Lord, as a rogue cultivator, didn't have a "channel" to make a name for himself. Overseas organizations would definitely pay attention to people from official organizations first. By the time they noticed rogue cultivators, the rogue cultivator usually already had quite a reputation. Annie took a deep look before stepping back to Bill Tarantino's side.
"You can come, but why shout so loud?" Zhang Yuanqing whispered.
"What's wrong with me shouting?" Jiang Jingwei said righteously. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her shouting. Besides, if her voice wasn't loud, he wouldn't be able to hear her. What else could I say? Zhang Yuanqing forced a smile.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun was a newcomer, he had offended too many forces. Maintaining a low profile on big occasions was a "self-protection" instinct. But since it had been revealed, so be it. He would have to go on stage sooner or later anyway.
"Move over, I want to sit next to Yuanshi Tianzun." Jiang Jingwei used her little butt to squeeze between Zhang Yuanqing and Xie Lingxi. How could Xie Lingxi's physical strength withstand Jingwei, who was a Fire Master? She immediately leaned against the Queen.
"Hey, why are you like this!" Xie Lingxi said angrily. "What's wrong with me?" Jiang Jingwei looked blank. "This is my seat," Xie Lingxi glared and declared her sovereignty. "Oh, it's mine now," Jiang Jingwei said. Seeing that this was an unreasonable girl, the little green tea turned her eyes and changed her strategy, weakly saying, "Isn't it said that Fire Masters are heroes who help the weak? Jingwei, little sister, how can a powerful Fire Master like you snatch someone else's seat? Let's switch back. Brother Yuanshi wouldn't like girls who snatch seats." Jiang Jingwei said doubtfully, "I don't care if he likes it or not, you're annoying. I'll beat you if you make any more noise."
"" Xie Lingxi's face turned red with anger, but she couldn't do anything about the rude and unreasonable girl. This Jiang Jingwei was single-minded, and neither soft nor hard tactics worked. As soon as Annie sat down, she heard Bill Tarantino beside her exhale like a sigh, saying, "We all underestimated him." Chen Shu's son was actually a legendary figure in the Songhai branch, a comet-like rising genius.
When he saw the red-haired girl greet Chen Shu's son and call out "Yuanshi Tianzun," Mr. Bill, who had traveled all over the world, was shocked.
But at the same time, he was very happy, because he had unknowingly established a good friendship with Yuanshi Tianzun. With Chen Shu's relationship, the friendship would be even stronger. The Merchant Guild valued connections very much.
In the future, he should interact with Chen Shu more often, increase some business dealings, and give her preferential treatment. Getting closer to Yuanshi Tianzun's mother was more cost-effective than directly wooing him.
"Yeah," Annie said in a low voice, "If I had known he was Yuanshi Tianzun, I should have taken him to the hotel and conquered him in bed the first day we met." The more Annie thought about it, the more regretful she became. "Of course, it's not too late now." Bill Tarantino smiled and said, "Are you planning to invest in him, just like Betty did back then?"
Because of the Light Compass's prediction, major organizations around the world were paying close attention to Night Watchers. However, the production of Night Watchers was too low, and most of the newborn Night Watchers were absorbed by the Taiyi Sect. As a result, it was difficult for organizations both inside and outside the country, including the Five Elements Alliance, to cultivate their own Night Watchers.
Therefore, Night Watchers who did not belong to the Taiyi Sect were especially valuable.
Of course, Night Watchers from the Taiyi Sect could also be invested in, but the cost-effectiveness was not as good as that of folk Night Watchers.
Betty was one of Demon Lord's lovers. It was because she hooked up with Demon Lord and made great contributions that she was now an executive with real power in the Goddess Association, highly valued by the higher-ups. Annie snorted, "That woman got a lot of benefits from Demon Lord and received rewards and cultivation from the association. She benefited from both sides. Her strength was far inferior to mine back then..." "Yuanshi Tianzun is too much under the spotlight. You may not be able to conquer him. I mean, the Five Elements Alliance won't agree," Mr. Bill smiled. "I wish you success. I still have a lot of confidence in the charm of your Lust profession." The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the audience on the opposite side.
In the eyes of the audience on the opposite side, their colleagues suddenly turned their gazes in a certain direction, their movements uniform and very conspicuous. It seemed that they were paying attention to some "big shot."
Zhu Rong looked at the male companion beside her and instructed, "There's a big shot over there. Go ask what's going on."
The fair-faced and handsome young man respectfully got up, strode away, and returned in a hurry, his face not looking very good: "Rongrong, it's Yuanshi Tianzun."
Hearing the name Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhu Rong's beautiful eyes narrowed, shooting out a cold killing intent. She reached out and grabbed a monocular telescope from the air, saying, "Where is he?"
As she spoke, Zhu Rong raised the telescope and looked at the opposite side, the corners of her mouth coldly pursed. The young gigolo lowered his voice, "He's sitting next to the red-haired girl, easy to recognize."
Zhu Rong heard this, slowly moved the monocular telescope, then stopped, locking onto the target.
Immediately afterwards, the young gigolo saw the corners of Zhu Rong's mouth, which had been tightly pursed into cold lines, suddenly turn up, revealing a joyful and dangerous smile.
In the area where the Taiyi Sect was gathered, Sun Miaomiao saw Jiang Jingwei with red hair and a young man with a blurry outline beside her from a distance. "That person is Yuanshi Tianzun?"
She raised her head, her eyes fixed. "Who has an item to improve eyesight? Lend it to me."
Sun Miaomiao had a pair of big, dark eyes, which were usually used to describe children, bright and innocent, like gems. That's why the word "dark" was used to describe such eyes. When these eyes appeared on a young woman, people couldn't help but be captivated.
In addition, her round face, rosy lips, and straight nose combined to form a sweet and lovely face.
And because of the "noble" temperament of the Night Watcher, she changed from a sweet and lovely girl next door to a sweet and lovely little princess. "What's so good about looking at him?" Zhao Chenghuang beside her said indifferently.
Sun Miaomiao glanced at the aloof Zhao Chenghuang and puffed out her cheeks, "None of your business!"
A fair-skinned and thin teenager behind her handed over a yellow-colored heart-protecting mirror, saying, "Here you go." "It's still good to be in Maoshan." Sun Miaomiao took the heart-protecting mirror. After reading the item's attributes, she immediately knew how to use it.
She held the heart-protecting mirror and looked at Yuanshi Tianzun in the distance. Before long, the heart-protecting mirror showed a high-definition picture, reflecting the scene she saw. Sun Miaomiao withdrew her gaze and looked down at the heart-protecting mirror.
"Oh, he's quite handsome," she praised, then smiled sweetly, "I hope I can be matched with him. I'll defeat Yuanshi Tianzun in front of everyone and clear my grandfather's name." At this time, Yin Ji in the front row turned her head and said coldly, "According to the information, Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't have Yin Corpses, Miaomiao. It won't be difficult for you to win him. Your real opponent is Zhao Chenghuang." "Yin Ji is right. The competition at the Extraordinary stage is a duel within our Taiyi Sect."
The Saints around her echoed with smiles. Sun Miaomiao smiled.
She had promised her grandfather that if she could defeat Yuanshi Tianzun openly and fairly in the arena, her grandfather would give her one of the children from the locust tree.
Sun Miaomiao had been craving those children for a long time. She had an extraordinary obsession with little spirit servants, just like many girls would be delighted and feel overflowing with maternal love when they saw cute and adorable things. Sun Miaomiao didn't like pets. She liked little spirit servants, the smaller the more obsessed she was.
However, the requirements for refining spirit servants were very strict. On the one hand, talent was hard to find, and on the other hand, the authorities prohibited the private refining of spirit servants, except for evil professions or some law-abiding professions that did evil deeds. But what crime could children have?
The children her grandfather kept on the tree were also because of an accident. He didn't enslave children as servants. Those were originally orphans he adopted, but because of an accident, those children died in a fire. Her grandfather was grief-stricken and violated the organization's regulations, turning those children into spirit servants to continue accompanying him.
And even as an elder, he was given a major demerit.
Getting back to the topic, because of Yuanshi Tianzun, her grandfather had become a meme played by the Night Watchers in the sect. At first, he could suppress these villains with Yuan Yan's training videos, but over time, Yuan Yan and her grandfather became memes together. Her face-loving grandfather was very anxious. Coincidentally, it was time for this arena competition, so he said earnestly, "Miaomiao, you have to defeat Yuanshi Tianzun so that those brats know that grandfather is not senile. It's just that my Taiyi Sect has abundant talents. Losing a Yuanshi Tianzun is nothing. Grandfather will let Little Red play with you." Little Red died at the age of seven, the youngest child in the locust tree—
In the first row, Elder Hongying overheard the disciples' conversations and smiled, "Old Sun, are you instigating Miaomiao to fight Yuanshi Tianzun?" She had the image of a mature woman, with kind eyes and fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but her skin was fair and tender, not showing her age, and she had the charm of an older woman. Elder Sun, wearing a white undershirt and dark shorts, gently shook his cattail fan and hummed, "Am I that petty?"
"Aren't you?" A curly-haired teddy bear squatting on the seat asked back. ... Elder Sun was too lazy to pay attention to this dog thing. Elder Hongying looked at the curly-haired teddy bear and smiled, "That child is good, with a clean temperament. He looks very comfortable."
Dog Elder gave a hum. Compared to other elders of the Hundred Flowers Association, his relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun was closer. Although that child was a member of the White Tiger Corps, he was his subordinate. When he was promoted to executive in the future, he would be his soldier.
This mixed system of the Five Elements Alliance, to a certain extent, broke the barriers between factions and strengthened the bonds between the five major gangs. "Yuanshi Tianzun, my brother wants to see you. Accompany me to see him later," Jiang Jingwei said. "Your brother?" Zhang Yuanqing looked around. "Where is your brother?"
Jiang Jingwei pointed to a distant place, saying, "That red-haired idiot is my brother. His name is Jiang Ju, and he's Fu Qingyang's rival." Jiang Ju? The Fire Master among the Four Young Masters? Zhang Yuanqing said in astonishment, "He's your brother?"
Jiang Jingwei had an expression of "making a fuss about nothing," saying, "Didn't you see that we both have red hair? If we weren't born to the same father, how could we have red hair?" Your logic is wrong. Could it be that those red-haired Dominators were also born to your father? Zhang Yuanqing asked curiously, "Your father is an elder of the Red Fire Gang, right?"
"My father is the leader of the Red Fire Gang!" Mentioning her father, Jiang Jingwei had a serious look on her face and made an "Oli Gave" gesture, saying, "Long live the Minotaur!" After saying that, she saw Yuanshi Tianzun on the right and the two elder sisters on the left, all standing up and moving to the side, with expressions of "seeing a ghost" on their faces.
"You, you, your father is one of the five Alliance Leaders. Why didn't you say that before?" Zhang Yuanqing lowered his voice as much as possible, afraid of being heard. He had always thought that Jiang Jingwei was the child of an elder, but he never thought that she was the little princess of the Red Fire Gang.
"You didn't ask," Jiang Jingwei proudly puffed out her little chest and announced again, "Long live the Minotaur!"
"So it's Princess Your Highness!" Zhang Yuanqing's face was full of smiles, and he diligently massaged her shoulders, saying, "In the future, if Princess Your Highness has any orders, just tell me. I'm your lackey. Princess Your Highness's family, um, if there are any materials or props that her old father doesn't want, please hand them over to me for disposal."
Jiang Jingwei was a little dizzy from the flattery and said happily, "Okay, I'll steal a few props for you next time." "Long live Princess Your Highness! Ah no, long live the Minotaur."
At this time, the armored swordsman sitting in the first row stood up, came to the arena, and announced loudly, "Today's match list has been matched." Almost at the same time, the Wayfarers in the audience saw a Spirit Realm exclusive dialog box appear in front of them: "Sanyang Kaitai vs Tokyo A Little Hot."
"I Am Your Father vs One Night Spring Breeze Comes." "Detective Conan vs Toyotomi Hideyoshi." "Rong Xiaolong vs Tang Ning." "Yuan Ting vs Construction Site Foreman"...
"Yuanshi Tianzun vs Maoshan Taoist" A total of 40 groups, a total of 80 people. The armored swordsman said loudly, "Next, I will announce the rules of the competition. Combat members cannot withdraw from the Spirit Realm without authorization. Those who withdraw will be deemed to have given up; Items that are more than two levels higher than one's own cannot be used. Those who violate the rules will be treated as cheating and disqualified from the competition; Items that are too lethal cannot be used. It is hoped that the contestants will consider this carefully. The judging criteria will be based on the opinions of the elders."
"Viewers who need to go to the toilet, please leave your seats and find a place to solve it yourself." "In ten minutes, please let the first group of combat members enter the arena." The scene suddenly became noisy, with discussions rising and falling.

"Yuanshi Tianzun vs Maoshan Taoist The main event is on the first day, so I won't leave."
"So exciting? Maoshan Taoist is ranked ninth on the Extraordinary list, and Yuanshi Tianzun is eleventh. One person will be eliminated today." According to convention, many people were prepared to decide whether to stay or leave after the match list was announced.
If there were no star players participating in the first day's match list, many people would leave, especially the Wayfarers at the Saint stage. In their opinion, the battle at the Extraordinary stage was just child's play and lacked appeal.
"Maoshan Taoist" Guan Ya frowned and said:
"This person is in the second tier of the Taiyi Sect's Extraordinary stage. The first tier is Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang, and the second tier is him and Yuan Ting. I don't know much about Maoshan Taoist, but I know Yuan Ting's strength. Yuanshi, you have to be careful." Zhang Yuanqing gave an "um" sound.
Ten minutes later, the first group of members entered the arena. Sanyang Kaitai was a rather beautiful woman, a Wood Elf, and Tokyo A Little Hot was a Fire Master. The five elements of Wood produce Fire.
Wood Elves were at a great disadvantage against Fire Masters. After persevering for more than ten minutes, Sanyang Kaitai was unsurprisingly defeated.
"Eh, why do I think both of them have weak body techniques? They are both Level 3 Wayfarers, so they should be captain-level figures. But I remember that the captains in Kangyang District are very strong in combat" Zhang Yuanqing frowned as he watched. Then, he suddenly realized that it was not that they were weak, but that his combat skills had improved too fast.
He used to think that the captains in Kangyang District were strong because he had not yet learned from the Old Driver. Unconsciously, through the Old Driver's repeated training, his combat skills had already reached a high level.
This woman, as expected of the trash that Fu Qingyang personally appointed Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but glance at the Old Driver's profile. Time passed quickly.
At noon, Jiang Jingwei clutched her stomach and wailed: "So hungry, so hungry, so hungry" Then she slumped against Zhang Yuanqing, looking like she couldn't survive. In the afternoon, she came back to life after being too hungry, because she couldn't feel the hunger anymore. Until the evening, the arena competition finally came to an end.
The armored swordsman appeared in the arena and said loudly, "Maoshan Taoist, Yuanshi Tianzun, enter the arena"
At this moment, the audience in the arena all focused their attention in two directions. One group looked towards the Taiyi Sect, and the other group looked towards Zhang Yuanqing. Cheers and shouts suddenly rose. Before the battle even started, the audience was already boiling.
The executives and elders in the audience were as indifferent as ever, but since they hadn't left, it meant that they were all looking forward to the battle between the two star players. Zhang Yuanqing stood up and nodded to the four female companions beside him: "I'm going"
He strode along the steps towards the arena.
At the same time, he saw a fair-skinned and thin teenager leave his seat in the area where the Taiyi Sect was located. He didn't take the steps, but jumped directly from the audience stand, which was more than ten meters high. Dong Dong Dong... Another "viewer" stood up, jumped from the high platform, and landed with a bang, kneeling halfway behind the fair-skinned teenager. Noisy waves of sound were raised, cheering for their appearance.
