Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"Zhou Fengliu... I'm sorry, it was my fault, Zhang Lingyu."

Zhang Lingyu apologized loudly, seemingly reconciling with Zhou Fengliu, or perhaps accepting his past.

...

After Zhang Lingyu said this, everyone present fell silent at first, and then burst into a heated discussion.

"Good heavens! The rumors are true! There really is a love-hate relationship between the God of War and Zhang Lingyu!"

"Zhang Lingyu has had women... I really can't tell! This old Taoist priest with his ascetic appearance is quite something!"

"Narrow-minded! Too narrow-minded! Broaden your horizons! What if she's had a boyfriend before?!"

"Holy crap...you've really gone all out with this!"

...

"I know... why are you shouting so loudly?"

In the arena, Zhou Fengliu was somewhat bewildered by Zhang Lingyu's loud shout.

An apology is one thing, but why shout it so loudly? Does he want everyone here to witness it? Is Zhang Lingyu apologizing and begging for forgiveness in front of everyone?

"You don't need to apologize to me... What's past is past. We're both men, what's there to be upset about... Since things have come to this, there's no point in dwelling on it. We might as well enjoy life..."

"Seeing that you've come to terms with it, I'm relieved. If you really want to apologize to me, I'll take you to a proper place after the competition... You pay, and I'll treat you to some good time."

Zhou Fengliu said in a very serious tone.

Zhang Lingyu frowned upon hearing his words. The warm scene of relief and self-reconciliation that had been painstakingly created was instantly shattered by Zhou Fengliu's "You're paying."

"Can't you be serious for once?" Zhang Lingyu said, indicating that he really couldn't stand Zhou Fengliu's unserious behavior.

"What are you talking about? I'm a legitimate employee of Nadutong Company... a very legitimate one."

Zhou Fengliu corrected Zhang Lingyu as if triggering muscle memory.

Seeing Zhou Fengliu correcting his form of address, Zhang Lingyu seemed to recall the scene when he had corrected Zhou Fengliu's form of address before, so he also imitated Zhou Fengliu's tone back then:

...

"Yeah, an unconventional employee who works at all-rounder."

"Hey, you little brat...didn't I just finish speaking?" Zhou Fengliu had barely finished speaking when he realized Zhang Lingyu was mocking him, and seeing this, he changed the subject and said:

"Master Ayu".

"Yeah, an unconventional employee who works at all-rounder."

"Yes, Master Ayu."

"The unconventional employees of 'All-in-One'..."

"Yes, yes, Master Ayu."

P.S.: I beg for everything, I beg for everything. Goodnight, godfathers.

Chapter 91 Zhang Lingyu: Why didn't you avoid it?! (First Update)

What should have been a pleasant competition turned into a verbal sparring session as the two engaged in their banter. This became unbearable for the referee, Rong Shan, who addressed them, saying:

"Are you two going to fight or not? If you want to argue, go outside and argue!"

At this moment, Rongshan also couldn't understand what kind of drama the two were putting on.

At first, he was worried about Zhang Lingyu's safety, but after listening to Zhang Lingyu's apology to Zhou Fengliu, he felt like a badger in a melon patch who couldn't find any melons, completely confused.

After Zhang Lingyu finally reconciled with himself, the two started bickering like "elementary school students," which gave him a real headache.

This is the stage for the semi-finals of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony!

Can't you take this a little more seriously?

...

Hearing Rong Shan's voice, Zhang Lingyu realized that he had lost his composure, actually arguing with Zhou Fengliu in public. He first apologized to Rong Shan, then turned his gaze to Zhou Fengliu.

"Zhou Fengliu...let's finish this quickly."

"?"

"Alright." Seeing that Zhang Lingyu was still determined to fight him, Zhou Fengliu simply nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, the thick, murky black energy flowing across the arena completely enveloped his area.

Tentacle-like strands of Yin Wu Lei extended from the black energy, their flexible swings and sticky appearance reminiscent of the strange tentacles in certain erotic anime.

"Water is dirty and thunderous... the northernmost deep pool."

Zhang Lingyu reached out and grabbed forward, and several tendril-like Yin Five Thunderbolts appeared around Zhou Fengliu at extremely strange angles, tightly binding him.

"Where did you come up with this thing from?"

Zhou Fengliu was bound by the Yin Five Thunders. He could feel that the Yin Five Thunders were weakening his power and penetrating into his body in every way.

Zhou Fengliu did not dodge, and Zhang Lingyu did not let the opportunity slip by. With incredible speed, she slid in front of Zhou Fengliu and her palm, covered in flowing black energy, struck Zhou Fengliu's chest without mercy.

It seems that his physical abilities have also improved to some extent within this territory of the Northern Azure Pool.

...

Damp, sticky...it felt like it was melting away every inch of my bones...

Is this what it feels like to be struck by dirty water lightning? Zhou Fengliu gave an assessment of Zhang Lingyu's Yin Five Thunder.

"You..." Zhang Lingyu raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw that Zhou Fengliu didn't seem to want to dodge, and then asked:

Why didn't you avoid it?

Based on his observations of their recent exchange, he felt that his attack shouldn't have been able to hit Zhou Fengliu so easily.

“Because I’m not afraid,” Zhou Fengliu said.

"Why aren't you afraid? This Yin Five Thunder Bone-Sucking and Marrow-Squeezing technique is designed to corrupt your heart and weaken your will. You probably won't feel good if you take a hit from it."

"I'm not afraid, that's all... there's no reason why."

Zhou Fengliu manipulated the surrounding airflow to sever the Yin Five Thunders binding his body. Then, in front of Zhang Lingyu, he manipulated the Qi within his body to force Zhang Lingyu's Yin Five Thunders out of his body.

"The quality of my Qi may not be as good as yours... and my Qi circulation is not as refined as that of a master like you who has cultivated diligently for many years, but I have more Qi..."

Zhou Fengliu said that Zhang Lingyu is very powerful, but compared to the cheater, he is still a little short.

You should know that the person standing in front of Zhang Lingyu possesses the Qi Refining Method of "Money is Power," which can be cultivated at any time.

If this were a numerical game, then his stats would be far superior to Zhang Lingyu's!

He naturally couldn't be afraid of Zhang Lingyu's Yin Five Thunder infiltration.

"Alright, now that we've witnessed Yin Wulei's true colors, it's my turn..."

Zhou Fengliu smiled slightly at Zhang Lingyu in front of him, then swung his left hand in a wide arc, intending to launch a major attack.

...

"Holy crap! This is the ultimate battle from the God of War..."

"Is he going to slap Zhang Lingyu in the face?"

"Right in front of the Celestial Master...you show absolutely no mercy?"

"It seems like when he slapped the great-granddaughter and great-grandson of the Ten Elders before, he didn't hold back much when he forced the God of War to fight... He went all out right up close."

"Oh, that's okay."

The audience thought Zhou Fengliu's big attack was going to slap the old master's disciple in the face again, but who would have thought that Zhang Lingyu was quite capable. The moment she sensed Zhou Fengliu launching his big attack, she directly controlled the Yin Five Thunder to surround Zhou Fengliu's body and create distance.

Seeing Zhou Fengliu surrounded in a cocoon-like formation not far away, Zhang Lingyu knew that she couldn't stop Zhou Fengliu for long, so she gathered all the Qi in her body and prepared to end the battle with a final blow.

Before he could even unleash his final attack, the "cocoon" that had trapped Zhou Fengliu was mercilessly torn apart by Zhou Fengliu's qi blade.

"Zhou Fengliu... let's settle this with this one strike," Zhang Lingyu said.

"Okay." Zhou Fengliu nodded. He looked at Zhang Lingyu not far away, feeling a pang of regret that he hadn't managed to slap Zhang Lingyu in the face during that fight.

no...

This fight must be fought today.

Zhou Fengliu thought to himself.

...

While he was pondering, Zhang Lingyu's offensive was ready.

"go with!"

As Zhang Lingyu shouted, the entire Northern Azure Pool became turbulent, and a layer of black energy formed by Yin Five Thunders created giant waves that crashed towards Zhou Fengliu.

As the giant waves surged and churned, the entire competition arena began to shake, making it difficult for anyone to maintain their balance and dodge.

"Um..."

Zhou Fengliu stared at the giant wave that was about to engulf him. He didn't prepare much. A flying sword made of Qi appeared before him and began to spin.

The next second, the flying sword shot out from in front of him like a cannonball, and the vortex generated by its high-speed rotation instantly melted the giant wave created by Zhang Lingyu and drilled a sizable hole in it.
