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

“Drip, drip…”

Fresh blood dripped from his chest, the torn t-shirt covered in a layer of sticky blood.

Due to the exhaustion 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, and abdomen were covered with claw marks and bruises.

He looked like a death row inmate who had just been severely tortured.

So tired, so uncomfortable... Zhang Yuanqing drew the curtains, slowly sat on the ground, and lay down in a large "大" shape.

I’ll be fine after a sleep. Sleep is the best rest. That Zhao Chenghuang must be receiving the life essence treatment now. The spiritual second generation is so good, we grassroots people can’t compare…

I won, I’m the champion, the Houtu Boots are mine… I wasn’t thinking straight when I ran away, I forgot to bring the Yin corpse back, but it doesn’t matter, Fu Qingyang will retrieve it for me…

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

…

No Trace Hotel, noon.

Xiao Yuan was rarely a little impetuous, 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 software:

"The competition is over."

The message sank without a trace, with no response.

Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, her chest heaving 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.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off..."

Listening to the voice prompt, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly, "Is the competition not over yet?"

According to Yuanshi’s statement, today’s ultimate battle is for the championship, and there are only him and Zhao Chenghuang. How long can a ring match last?

It’s been a whole morning, why isn’t it over yet?

To be honest, Xiao Yuan was very curious about the outcome of the competition, and had certain expectations, but she also felt that there was no need to have expectations. As a newcomer among The Way of the Extraordinary, Yuanshi Tianzun’s ability to squeeze into the top three was already a pleasant surprise.

It’s unlikely that he’ll win the championship. If he wins the championship, it will only show that the official is lacking talent.

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

Kou Beiyue came back carrying the delivery boy's special box on his back.

He brought a hearty lunch for Xiao Yuan and himself.

During this period, Xiao Yuan had a knack for making money. She bought Yuanshi Tianzun's information several times and earned 200,000 yuan for hunting Yin corpses for Yuanshi Tianzun. She had a lot of money on hand and her food had improved greatly.

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

Kou Beiyue, covered in sweat, stood at the air outlet of the air conditioner at the door, enjoying the cool breeze, and then walked over excitedly, saying, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, when I was delivering food just now, I met 'Ren Xue Mantou'." (Human Blood Bun)

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

Ren Xue Mantou is a cadre under the Gu Wang, the vice president of the Ling Neng Hui.

Ren Xue Mantou made contributions in the Black Impermanence incident. Gu Wang assigned him to Jinshi City as a cadre to establish the Jinshi City office, specializing in attracting and recruiting evil professions.

This person has a strong obsession with delivering food. He rides a small electric donkey in the hot weather and insists on delivering food door to door.

He accidentally met Kou Beiyue.

Ren Xue Mantou felt that Kou Beiyue, who also liked delivering food, was a promising talent, so they exchanged contact information.

Although Kou Beiyue strongly stated that he didn’t like delivering food and was forced by life, Ren Xue Mantou didn’t believe him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Kou Beiyue yelled: "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 such bad people in the officialdom?"

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

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

"A great piece of information." Xiao Yuan sneered.

This child, Kou Beiyue, became a Bewitching Demon after all, and under her protection, followed Master Wuhen to practice. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is inexperienced.

How could he know what information is important and what information is not important?

Most likely Ren Xue Mantou casually used ordinary information to fool him.

Kou Beiyue was overjoyed and danced with excitement, saying:

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

The reward list has been updated? Xiao Yuan nodded slightly. That is indeed important information. The reward list of evil organizations will not be changed casually.

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, one Saint Realm item, two Extraordinary Realm excellent items."

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

"Wei Wo Du Zun, 15 million, two Extraordinary Realm excellent items."

"Sun Miaomiao, 10 million, two Extraordinary Realm excellent items."

"Tudi Gong, 15 million, one Saint Realm item."

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

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

At this moment, after digesting this information, she had only one thought in her mind:

The result of the arena match is out.

Yuanshi Tianzun, win!

He beat Zhao Chenghuang, he actually beat Zhao Chenghuang... Xiao Yuan put down her phone and stared blankly outside the hotel, lost in thought.

After a long while, she put down her phone and said in a low voice:

"I'm going to see Master Wuhen."

Fu Family Bay.

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

"The corpse of a level 3 Bewitching Demon, and the aura of an Earth Monster. Tsk tsk, where did Yuanshi Tianzun get this Yin corpse? I don't remember him applying to you for help. You didn't say anything either."

The Undead No. 1 was entangled by vines, roaring lowly in its mouth, struggling and twisting, trying to break free from the restraints and kill the living people in its sight.

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

The owner ran away after offending everyone and didn't have time to issue an order to lift the battle.

Fu Qingyang sat behind the desk and said lightly:

"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 notify Bunny Girl No. 2, let her prepare to make the payment, each member of the White Tiger Guard will receive a bonus of one million."

"Okay!" Ling Jun walked away happily.

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

Five Elements Alliance, Elders Group.

[Dog Elder: 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 breathed a sigh of relief. Back then, when the female marshal hadn't risen to prominence, she also took two attempts to win the Extraordinary and Saint Realm championships.]

[Goddess Luo: Yuanshi Tianzun's talent is really amazing, his future achievements are limitless, Elder Sun's muddleheaded reputation cannot be erased.]

[Fire Sea War God: Interesting, this kid Yuanshi Tianzun, I like him very much, let your White Tiger soldiers let him go to my Scarlet 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.

But after the arena match, several hours later, the elders were still commenting from time to time, and the atmosphere was relaxed and lively.

In the eyes of the elders, this year's arena match was a complete crush of the Taiyi Sect by the Five Elements Alliance, which was a great face.

Reaching the Dominator realm, they don't care about ordinary interests, but face is more important.

Fu Qingyang sneered, this group of "old things" didn't hesitate at all when buying Zhao Chenghuang, and didn't blink an eye at millions of funds, but when buying Yuanshi Tianzun, they were stingy with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

Now that Yuanshi Tianzun beat Zhao Chenghuang, each of them is beaming with joy.

Well, a few million is small money for 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 had a good atmosphere, suddenly fell into silence.

No one spoke.

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

[You have been removed from the group chat]

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

The wounds and bruises all over his body also disappeared.

His state has recovered three or four percent, so hungry... He got up dizzy, took off his tattered clothes, took dry t-shirts, pants, and a bath towel, and carefully came to the door, unscrewing the locked door.

Opening a crack, listening to the movement in the living room.

It was quiet outside, grandma wasn’t outside.

At this time, the idle grandpa should be walking outside, chatting with acquaintances in the community, while grandma went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients for dinner.

Zhang Yuanqing quickly sneaked into the bathroom, washed away the blood on his body, and then returned to my place with a mop, dragging the blood stains and the human-shaped outline of blood and sweat on the ground clean.

Then he put the tattered clothes and pants into a garbage bag, went out and downstairs, and threw them into the garbage pool of the building.

After doing all this, Zhang Yuanqing, clean and dry, turned his head and went to the braised chicken shop outside the community, ordered three servings of braised chicken, and saw obvious envy 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 that there was a missed call from Fu Qingyang.

As usual, he first sent Xiao Yuan Auntie the message of winning the championship, and then checked the congratulatory text messages one by one.

From Xie Lingxi's "Brother is really great" to Daji Ba's "Damn, you kid are awesome".

From Li Dongze's "Oh, my God" to Guan Ya's "Congratulations, congratulations, from now on there will be eel and abalone".

This woman is getting more and more outrageous with her dirty jokes... Good student Zhang Yuanqing replied to Guan Ya with a shy expression:

"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's group chat and saw the information from Fu Qingyang himself:

Fu Qingyang: Remember to go to Fu Family Bay when you wake up and retrieve your corpse.]

[You Feng Laiyi: Helper is the best!]

[Qicilang: Boss is the best!]

[Xiao Nao Fu: Thank you, Helper!]

[Heng Sao Tianxia: Thank you, Helper!]

Even the White Tiger Guard members who usually don't show up sent the message "Thank you, Helper".

Huh? Why isn't anyone talking about me? Am I not the protagonist today? Zhang Yuanqing was a little dissatisfied and pulled down the chat information.

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

"!!!"

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

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Centurion will live forever and unify the world, obeying the destiny of heaven, enjoying both longevity and prosperity.]

The "thank you boss" emoticon of kowtowing was spamming the screen.

[Qicilang: I'm done, I can't lick him.]

[Xiao Nao Fu:...]

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

[Yuanshi Tianzun: Under the bright holy light of the centurion, my little firefly brilliance is not enough.]

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

[Fu Qingyang: Don't misunderstand, this is the champion's reward. I don't encourage flattery, so don't imitate it.]

[You Feng Laiyi:...]

[Qicilang:...]

[Xiao Nao Fu:...]

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

This is the highlight.

In the dimly lit bedroom, Zhu Rong, wearing a long dress, leaned lazily on a 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."
