People are in high martial arts, the system lives in fantasy

Under the night sky outside Yangcheng City, Su Bei's figure streaked across the sky like a shooting star. He deliberately controlled his speed to avoid making too much noise, but the light from the nine Sacred Yang Apertures on his spine still shone faintly in the night, like nine miniature stars.

"It's still two thousand kilometers to Yujing." Su Bei estimated the distance, his eyes scanning the map on the tactical terminal.

Continuously using aurora pulses to travel is obviously impractical. Even if the energy consumption is not high, by the time you get there, you will be mostly exhausted.

He landed at a rest area beside the highway, preparing to transfer to regular transportation. His new identity as "Su Yang" allowed him to use public facilities openly without fear of being exposed.

On the electronic screen in the rest area, the live broadcast of the university league was playing on a loop. Su Bei stopped to watch, and on the screen, Cheng Shanhe was fighting three opponents at once, demonstrating amazing defensive skills.

The commentator's excited voice rang out: "The captain of Zhenwu University has once again proven his strength! But how far can they go against Tian Shu University's astrological conception?"

Su Bei's lips curled into a slight smile. Cheng Shanhe's performance was even better than he had expected; it seemed that the team's integration during this period had been quite successful.

Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from his spiritual aperture. Su Bei frowned slightly, and his senses instantly expanded—thirty meters away, a young man wearing a baseball cap was pretending to look at his phone, but actually pointing the camera at him.

"This is the fourth batch," Su Bei thought with a cold laugh. These spies really are persistent.

He pretended not to notice and walked towards the ticket counter to buy a shuttle ticket. But as he passed the man, a burst of aurora light silently shot out.

boom!
The phone in the man's hand made a muffled sound and emitted a plume of black smoke, as if it had been struck by a high-frequency device.

Su Bei left without looking back, which was just a small warning—he didn't want to cause too much of a commotion in public.

After boarding the shuttle, Su Bei closed his eyes to rest, but in reality, he was sensing everything around him through his spiritual aperture. There were three suspicious figures on the shuttle, but they were all low-level informants and not worth his time.

"It seems we need to resolve this tracking issue as soon as possible," Su Bei pondered. While changing one's appearance and aura could alter one's looks, its effect on genetic marking seemed limited. He needed a more thorough solution.

As the shuttle glided through the clouds, Su Bei's consciousness sank into his inner universe. The celestial sphere slowly rotated, forming a perfect cycle with the Nine Luminaries Sacred Yang Mystic Aperture. He attempted to envelop his entire body with the Great Sun True Essence, forming a protective layer at the genetic level.

"If I could cultivate the Great Sun Emperor Body Technique to a higher level, perhaps I could completely block these tracking methods," Su Bei secretly pondered.

Two hours later, the shuttle landed at Yujing International Airport. Su Bei followed the flow of people out of the terminal and immediately felt the hustle and bustle of this city that never sleeps.

Even though it was late at night, the streets were still bustling with traffic, and holographic advertisements were flashing in the night sky.

He flagged down a self-driving taxi and gave the address of the vicinity of the Weiyang Martial Arts Center.

The cityscape outside the car window rushed past, and Su Bei's gaze fell on the iconic building in the distance—the dome of the Weiyang Martial Arts Arena radiated a soft glow in the night.

"Tomorrow is the match between Zhenwu and Tianshu," Su Bei said softly.

The taxi stopped in front of a high-end hotel. When Su Bei checked in, the receptionist's gaze lingered on his face for a few seconds, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

Upon entering the suite, Su Bei immediately activated his spiritual senses to confirm that there were no surveillance devices in the room. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the brightly lit city.

The nine sacred yang apertures on his spine were slightly warm, seemingly echoing the energy fluctuations of the city. Su Bei could sense that the energy field of Yujing was much more complex than that of Yangji City, with various types of energy intertwined to form a unique rhythm.

"Is this the energy map of a metropolis?" Su Bei was immersed in this novel perception.

After breaking through to the fourth level, his understanding of the world seemed to have reached a completely new level.

The world perceived through the spiritual aperture has an extremely clear awareness of the surrounding energy, much like a person who has been nearsighted for a long time suddenly wearing glasses, naturally having a completely new feeling.

The following text appeared on the panel:

Version: 3.0 (Updating) [Famous Throughout the World: Phase One of the Mission Completed]

[The palace that the Great Sun Emperor built at the Saintly level, using countless resources, is adorned with flowers along his route, and shines brightly wherever he goes. The sun brings everything, but it also destroys everything.]

In the final battle, the Great Sun Emperor used all his strength and trump cards, even destroying this palace, which then disappeared into the annals of history.

As its creator, perhaps you can repair it.

[Reward being distributed... 43%...]

"The loading speed is getting faster and faster."

I don't know if it's related to his improved strength, or if the loading speed just gets faster and faster.

Su Bei felt a slight sense of anticipation, wondering what kind of surprise this reward would bring him.

……

At the Yujing Weiyang Martial Arts Arena, a huge light screen was broadcasting a split-screen live show of two intense battles on different arenas, and the roar from the audience almost lifted the alloy dome off its height.

The highly anticipated group stage match between Zhenwu University and Tianshu University has reached a fever pitch, with the commentator's hoarse voice echoing through the loudspeaker:

"Ladies and gentlemen! What you are witnessing now is the start of the most important match in the group stage of the university league—Zhenwu University versus Tianshu University! Both teams have already secured their spots in the knockout stage, but the battle for the top spot in the group will directly affect the matchups!"

"On the Zhenwu University side, with Captain Cheng Shanhe anchoring the center, can he withstand Tian Shu's star offensive? Newcomer Zhou Ziqian faces immense pressure as he faces a top-tier team for the first time!"

"This time, the Grandmaster from Northern Jiangsu has also returned to the arena, but unfortunately, he will not be able to play in this match because the roster has already been finalized!"

The camera panned across the Zhenwu players' seats at the right moment. Su Bei had a calm expression and a gentle demeanor. He even had the leisure to wave at the camera.

On the other side, the teammates didn't have such good mental fortitude. Although they all looked confident, their taut muscles revealed the pressure they were under.

"Relax."

Su Bei comforted him, saying, "It's just about deciding whether you get the top spot in the group stage. Don't take it to heart. Even if you lose, you can win it back later."

Whether the comforting words were effective or not, everyone's expressions relaxed a bit.

“You don’t have to play, of course it’s easy for you…” Wei Bao muttered.

The remaining people couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you say you could come back sooner?"

"So you've come here to oversee the battle, haven't you?"

"No need to buy tickets, just sit in the best viewing area?"

Su Bei: "..."

He was indeed in the wrong, but who would have thought there would be this whole thing about submitting a list?

Cheng Shanhe couldn't help but ask, "Are you so sure we'll win the championship?"

Su Bei asked in surprise, "I'm back now, who else could be the champion if not us?" (End of Chapter)
