【World Ablaze: It's clearly all Yuan Shi Tianzun's fault. We were forced to do it. Why are our salaries being deducted?】

【Tone-Deaf: Shouldn't Yuan Shi Tianzun bear all the responsibility?】

【Azure Pine: That bastard...】

These were the three comments with the most likes in the comment section.

【The Future is Long: Hahaha, I knew there would be punishment. They did something so immoral, the officials definitely have to give a punishment, give an attitude.】

【The Past is Painful: Just deducting salary and a notice of criticism? Looking at the elders' faces this morning, they wished they could expel them.】

【Milky White Xuezi: They probably really wanted to expel them at the time, but they couldn't bear to after calming down (doge emoji). Speaking of which, stripping the Yin corpse's pants does have a bad influence. They are also top eight contestants, representing the official face to some extent, so headquarters definitely has to make a statement. Deducting salary and bonuses, a punishment that doesn't hurt or itch, is just for show.】

【Passionate Jenny: It's a pity, they stripped and stripped, only stripped the Yin corpse and not themselves, especially Yuan Shi Tianzun. I was looking forward to it several times in vain.】

Another salary deduction, damn it. Aren't we all selling (working) to make money...? Zhang Yuanqing grimaced, thinking, "Luckily I have the White Tiger Guard's salary."

In addition, the arena competition's prize money is also quite a bit. Although the top three prizes are items, Zhang Yuanqing learned that as long as you enter the top ten, the local branch will reward the contestants with a sum of money.

After reading the comments for a few minutes, he exited the post and continued to scroll down, seeing many posts related to today's battle.

#Yuan Shi Tianzun is too strong, after today, he is my god#

#A brief discussion on Yuan Shi Tianzun's layout ability from the dungeon competition#

#From stripping pants to groping breasts, how wild is Yuan Shi Tianzun's path#

#Terrifying tactical talent, Yuan Shi Tianzun may be able to be ranked alongside the Four Young Masters in the future#

Zhang Yuanqing sent these posts, and the comments praising him below, to Xiao Yuan (except for the one about groping breasts).

Yuan Shi Tianzun: "You believe me now, Aunt Xiao Yuan. I am invincible in the dungeon."

Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan: "Not bad! [Smile]"

Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan: "Tell me about the competition process, I'm more curious why someone in the comments said they wanted to see you take off your pants."

Yuan Shi Tianzun: "Well, well..."

He was thinking about how to get around it when he suddenly remembered a saying from his mentor:

Although women always like to say "mature and reliable" and use it to urge men, they don't really like mature and stable men; they verbally despise glib-tongued men, but they always rush towards smooth-talking, humorous playboys like moths to a flame.

His mentor concluded: Being glib-tongued in small matters in life can increase a woman's goodwill; when you don't know how to answer the other person's question, being glib-tongued can get you through easily.

Zhang Yuanqing was enlightened and replied:

"Didn't I have a bet with Aunt Xiao Yuan last time that if I could get into the top three, Aunt Xiao Yuan would sleep with me? So, I showed great power in the dungeon, fighting seven at once. I was almost eliminated, but thinking about my bet with Aunt Xiao Yuan, I angrily tore off my clothes and no longer suppressed my prehistoric power. Finally, I killed six opponents, leaving only Zhao Chenghuang, preparing to beat him up tomorrow.

"That's probably why those lustful hooligans are looking forward to me taking off my pants."

There was no sound from the other side. After a long time, Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan:

"Get lost!!"

Yuan Shi Tianzun: "Okay, I'll come over to sleep with you tonight."

Magic Aunt Xiao Yuan: "If you dare to come, I'll kill you!"

Zhang Yuanqing "hehe" smiled, sent a string of [horny] emoticons, and then focused on browsing the forum.

He quickly found a post predicting tomorrow's battle:

#Final Battle Analysis, Yuan Shi Tianzun vs. Zhao Chenghuang, who will have the last laugh#

There were surprisingly many comments below.

Zhang Yuanqing clicked on the post and realized that the poster was "Wen Yuange University Scholar". This scholar, who is active in the forum, has some skills, so he has a certain degree of credibility among official The Way of the Extraordinary.

The University Scholar briefly analyzed the combat power comparison between Zhao Chenghuang and Yuan Shi Tianzun in the post.

"Due to the contract, we cannot list detailed data. Here is a simple analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides."

"First is the level. Both contestants are level 3, but one is in the early stage and the other is in the late stage. Zhao Chenghuang has the advantage in level. Second is the props. According to the usual practice, in the annual championship battle, the props will be limited to three."

"Zhao Chenghuang is the great-grandson of Elder Zhao of the Taiyi Sect. I guess his three props are all of extremely high quality. Looking at Yuan Shi Tianzun, he used two props that were never known to the public in today's competition. They are very novel and interesting. It has to be said that his prop storage is indeed rich, worthy of being a genius who cleared two S-level dungeons, but he seems to lack that kind of trump card-level props."

"Fortunately, Yuan Shi Tianzun relied on his own abilities to obtain the highest points in the dungeon reward. Tomorrow, with the assistance of powerful props, he will regain some advantages."

"Finally, from the analysis of his own hard power, Zhao Chenghuang has a powerful Yin corpse and a terrifying skill to amplify himself (those who have watched the match against Jiang Jingwei know what I am referring to). The most important thing is that his Spirit Servant has not appeared. Don't think that the ordinary Spirit Servant is all that Zhao Chenghuang has."

"As far as I know, Zhao Chenghuang has a secret Spirit Servant that is rarely used. This may become the key to tomorrow's victory or defeat."

"Looking at Yuan Shi Tianzun, his talent lies in strategy and conquering dungeons. If the final battle is still in dungeon mode, his chances of winning will increase. If it is a arena competition mode... then it can only be said that Yuan Shi Tianzun is out of luck."

"In summary, my personal opinion is that Yuan Shi Tianzun and Zhao Chenghuang have a 30/70 chance of winning."

I remember Sun Miaomiao said that Zhao Chenghuang has a secret Spirit Servant, and this Wen Yuange University Scholar also said so... Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and sent a message to Yuan Ting with the idea of ​​being prepared:

"Captain Yuan, do you know what Zhao Chenghuang's secret Spirit Servant is?"

No one responded to the message for a long time.

Zhang Yuanqing simply called, but the voice prompt said it was turned off.

Captain Yuan wouldn't have been silenced, would he...? He muttered with some guilt.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the chat software and asked in the White Tiger Guard group.

【Yuan Shi Tianzun: Does anyone know what Zhao Chenghuang's secret Spirit Servant is?】

【You Feng Laiyi: Don't know.】

【Ling Jun: Don't care.】

【Qicilang: Why do you think we would pay attention to a level 3 Night Roamer?】

I almost forgot, the White Tiger Guard are all Saints... Zhang Yuanqing silently covered his face.

【Little Brain Tiger: I can help you find out, but there's not enough time. Tomorrow is the final battle.】

【Yuan Shi Tianzun: Little Brain Tiger, never mind, thank you.】

"Little Brain Tiger" is still more mature and reliable. Well, I'm not a woman, I really like mature and reliable men... Zhang Yuanqing was about to exit the group chat when he suddenly saw Ling Jun messaging him.

【Ling Jun: Do what you can in tomorrow's competition. Second place is very good. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.】

【You Feng Laiyi: I think the illusionist's profession props aren't worse than the Houtu Boots, second place is fine.】

Everyone didn't push him to be a tiger parent, but comforted Yuan Shi Tianzun and told him not to have too much psychological pressure and to maintain a good attitude to meet tomorrow's battle.

【Yuan Shi Tianzun: Thank you everyone, thank you Centurion.】

【You Feng Laiyi: Why thank the gang leader? He didn't even come out to encourage you.】

【Ling Jun: This kid is good at flattering. He relies on his licking skills to get the gang leader's favor. Look at how he arranged the gang leader in the dungeon, and the guy surnamed Fu tolerated it.】

【Qicilang: hetui~】

This is not flattery, this is social... Zhang Yuanqing closed the chat group, took out a notebook from the drawer, picked up a pen from the pen holder, and began to write the battle plan for tomorrow.

The use of three props is more beneficial than harmful to him, because if you compare props, he is mostly not as good as Zhao Chenghuang who has the Dominator Grandpa.

"These three props must restrain Zhao Chenghuang's advantages. My strength is not as good as his, that's a fact, so I have to use tactics well."

He opened his notebook and wrote quickly.

.......

Capital City, a quiet courtyard.

Elder Zhao, dressed in black robes with his black hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, sat under a locust tree drinking tea.

Elder Zhao was among the first The Way of the Extraordinary, a figure from the Republic of China era, with a higher seniority than Elder Sun, and of course, with greater strength.

"Tomorrow's final battle is a arena competition, which is beneficial to you. Do you have the confidence to win the championship?" Elder Zhao sipped his tea, his tone unhurried.

Zhao Chenghuang, sitting across the tea table, straightened his back and said in a deep voice:

"Yes!"

Elder Zhao revealed a satisfied look. "Your accumulation of Lunar Force has reached its limit. After this arena competition, you will participate in the Slaughter Dungeon to advance to Star Officer. Before entering the Slaughter Dungeon, it is also good to have Yuan Shi Tianzun as your whetstone. But remember the path you are walking, with Lunar as the foundation. This is very important, understand?"

Zhao Chenghuang nodded, a look of doubt flashed across his cold face:

"Grandpa, can you tell me now why I have to stagnate at the transcendent stage and hone Lunar?"

He had wanted to advance to Saint for a long time, but Grandpa had strongly suppressed him.

Elder Zhao said in a deep voice:

"The Night Roamer is different from other professions. Lunar, Star Officer, and Solar, these three forces have the same origin, but they are clearly distinguished. When you reach the Dominator realm, you must choose one of them as the foundation, so that you have the possibility of going further."

《Lord of the Stars》

Going further in the Dominator realm, that's the realm of the Sect Master... Zhao Chenghuang said in a deep voice:

"I understand."

He still didn't understand the core principle, but it was enough to understand the reason for doing so.

........

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Yuanqing, dressed neatly, held down the Yin corpse's shoulder and put the little blue pill in his pocket, and heard the Spirit Realm prompt:

【Ding! Dungeon is opening. This match is the - Final Battle.】

【Entering the Spirit Realm in 30 seconds. The Spirit Realm you are entering this time is "Life and Death arena", number: 3371】

【Difficulty level: Unknown】

【Type: Multiplayer (non-death type)】

【Main quest: Defeat the enemy openly and aboveboard on the arena, compete in martial arts, and stop when you get the point.】

【Note: Non-Spirit Realm items cannot be brought in.】

【Spirit Realm Introduction for No. 3371: This dungeon is a "White Tiger Soldiers" gang dungeon and has been cleared.】

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes blurred, and the scenery went from vague to clear. He saw the blue sky, rows of spectator seats, and the audience sitting in the seats.

He came to the arena again, but this time, he appeared directly on the arena. A dozen meters away, was Zhao Chenghuang, dressed in black clothes and black pants, with a cold and handsome face.

There are quite a lot of people watching the game, even more than the previous days... Zhang Yuanqing looked around, almost seeing no empty seats. Except for some official The Way of the Extraordinary on duty, almost everyone who could come came.

Many people from the major Spirit Realm families also came, including some members of folk organizations (affiliated organizations) that have close ties with the officials.

On the elder seats, the number of elders changed from just over ten to nearly twenty.

The five alliance leaders still did not appear.

As soon as the two appeared, the audience burst into amazing shouts.
