One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

After a while.

Jiang Bailan, Zhuge Qing, and two other contestants who wished to remain anonymous entered the arena. The four of them stood at four corners, looking at each other, with none of them making the first move.

Compared to the dull atmosphere inside the stadium, the audience seats were much more lively.

Since the H1N1 Marathon was the first of its kind, and with the added bonus of the popular character Zhuge Qing, the number of spectators was nothing short of overwhelming. In particular, Zhuge Qing's fan club was even more impressive than the elderly women walking on the road.

"Aqing, Aqing, I love you like a mouse loves rice!"

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing, you're the best! Ah Qing, Ah Qing, you're the strongest! I love you endlessly, Zhuge Qing!"

"Aqing! We love you!"

"..."

In a corner of the stands, Feng Xingtong, who had come to watch the game, shrank back unconsciously as she listened to the shouts around her and looked at the group of enthusiastic fans. It was simply terrifying!

It's even scarier than a cat-faced old lady kissing you!

Looking at her older sister beside her, Feng Xingtong said, "Sister, aren't you going to cheer your brother-in-law on? His opponent is Zhuge Qing from the Wuhou family. Brother-in-law is really unlucky to encounter such a strong enemy in the first match."

"There's no need. He doesn't like this. He'll win this match. Besides, we're just friends, so don't make a fuss." Compared to her younger brother, Feng Shayan clearly understood Jiang Bailan's personality better. Although she didn't know his exact strength, she had a feeling he would win.

"There's no need for that. He doesn't like it this way. He'll win this game."

Hearing this, Feng Xingtong twitched her lips, secretly thinking to herself that her older sister was a typical hypocrite. Her woman's sixth sense had come through, yet she still talked about being friends.

He immediately said, "Sis, you'd better step up your game, or one day your husband will be snatched away by someone else, and then it will be too late to regret it."

After saying that, Feng Xingtong put his hands to his mouth and shouted into the arena, "Go, big brother! My sister is watching!!"

slap~

Noticing something amiss, Feng Shayan slapped Feng Xingtong on the back of the head. She remarked that the child was growing up and becoming disobedient, and said helplessly, "What are you yelling about?"

At this moment, Feng Xingtong also noticed that something was wrong.

As soon as he shouted this, the audience fell silent, and countless eyes fell on him, like sharp swords, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

hehe~~

Feng Xingtong smiled awkwardly. This invisible battlefield was a bit too much for him, even as the daughter of one of the Ten Elders.

"No need to cheer anymore, my Aqing is going to win this game!"

"That's right, that's right! Don't you even bother to find out who my Ah Qing is!"

"What kind of ugly, deformed thing dares to try and scam my Ah Qing!"

"I bet they won't last three rounds!"

"..."

In the audience, Zhuge Qing's supporters kept talking, making Feng Xingtong sweat and back away.

-

How embarrassing!

It was so embarrassing it made my toes ache.

When did the fandom culture start adopting the same practices as other fandoms?

If that had been shouted at him, Jiang Bailan estimated he would have been killed instantly, and he wouldn't have been able to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. He would have had to carry the train back to Tianjin overnight.

Zhuge Qing looked embarrassed, but he didn't care. Although it was a little embarrassing, he had long since gotten used to the atmosphere.

Listening to the shouts from the audience, the two random players opposite Zhuge Qing and Jiang Bailan felt as if they had entered someone else's background music and had already lost half the battle before it even started.

In terms of relationships, they were purely supporting characters; even the average-looking guy on the other side had people cheering him on.

"My name is Ji Bochang!"

"My name is Ji Boduan!"

With that in mind, the two of them just wanted to do what an extra should do, finish the fight as soon as possible, and maybe they could catch their afternoon flight home.

Once they encounter Zhuge Qing, they are destined to have no hope of advancing.

Was Ji Bo older? Or was Ji Bo younger?

Upon hearing their names, Zhuge Qing showed no reaction, but Jiang Bailan raised an eyebrow, thinking that only by having several "hidden dragons and phoenix chicks" in the family could they come up with such names of "talents who can manage the world".

Regardless of their actual strength, Jiang Bailan felt that just from their names, Ji Boduan must have an exceptional mental fortitude, so he could confidently make his move later.

"My name is Zhuge Qing!"

"My name is Jiang Bailan!"

After the four introduced themselves, the referee announced, "All contestants are present! Anyone who loses consciousness or voluntarily surrenders is eliminated! Anyone who causes injury or death will be eliminated and severely punished!"

"The game officially begins!"

After speaking, the expert from the Celestial Master's Mansion retreated to the edge of the arena, leaving space for the contestants.

"Take care of him first?"

The two brothers, Ji Bochang and Ji Boduan, looked at Jiang Bailan together. They knew they couldn't beat Zhuge Qing and his group, so they could only pick on the weak.

Jiang Bailan: "???"

Upon discovering that the two were plotting against him, he didn't try to form any alliances or schemes.

Zhuge Qing was pleased to see this scene. Although he was very confident in himself, he also wanted to see just how strong the guy who was disliked by Master Lingyu of the Celestial Master's Mansion really was.

He didn't expect to obtain the position of Celestial Master or the Tongtian Talisman, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, at this Luotian Grand Ceremony; he simply wanted to broaden his horizons.

"Young man, don't blame us brothers, we had no choice!"

"watch out!"

The brothers Ji Bochang and Ji Boduan rushed out in a flash, using their respective family secret techniques to get in front of Jiang Bailan.

However, Jiang Bailan showed them with his actions that he did not want to watch.

A burst of golden light appeared, and a leg gleaming with golden light stretched out. Jiang Bailan turned around and kicked the Ji brothers twice in the chest.

The power unleashed by the two feet accelerated by the Glint-Glint Fruit was immense!

The ultimate power was unleashed, causing the two men's bodies to arch into a "C" shape and shoot out like arrows cutting through the wind, their eyes rolling back and foaming at the mouth as they embedded themselves into the wall.

boom!

A loud bang echoed from the vast Luo Tian Grand Ritual competition venue.

"???"

"Ah this..."

"What just happened?"

"It looked like something flew past me and disappeared in a flash?"

Feng Xingtong, standing in the audience, almost popped his eyes out. What had just happened? He seemed to have only seen someone rush towards his brother-in-law, and then... nothing more!

No?

Is my brother-in-law that strong?

So how much water did they release back then in the World Society?

Thinking of this, Feng Xingtong glanced at his equally shocked sister beside him, and his desire for Jiang Bailan to become his real brother-in-law grew even stronger. He swallowed hard and said, "Sis, in order for your little brother to get a brother-in-law, we have to put in some effort. If all else fails, we can use some special methods..."

Snapped!

After slapping her younger brother on the head, Feng Shayan looked at Jiang Bailan in the center of the arena, her full lips slightly parted, also surprised by the strength that the other party was showing at this moment.

Even though she had anticipated this, she didn't expect Jiang Bailan to play a trump card right away.
