Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"What...what do you want?!"

Wang Zhiwen subconsciously took a half step back, staring intently at the man in front of her.

These words...

Isn't that the classic line from a certain Japanese adult film when the villain is coercing the female lead?

It's true that male martial artists cannot have sexual relations.

But she had heard that some psychopaths liked to torture women's bodies in all sorts of bizarre ways in order to get twisted pleasure from it.

Maybe this guy surnamed Yang is that kind of person!

Wang Zhiwen's gaze involuntarily drifted to Zhou Xier beside her.

This frail girl must have sacrificed her body to seek the protection of this pervert!

"Don't even think about it!"

Wang Zhiwen instinctively covered her chest with both hands.

She looked quite disheveled at that moment.

The combat uniform was torn in several places, revealing the fair skin underneath.

He was wearing a black face mask, and his short, dark green hair was messy.

Her long, bare thighs were also covered with tiny scratches.

As the adopted daughter of the Wang family, her every word and action represented the face of the Wang family, and she absolutely could not suffer such humiliation.

but……

If they don't put in some effort, they'll be eliminated soon.

Even the task personally assigned by the head of the family could not be completed.

For a moment, Wang Zhiwen was caught in a dilemma.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Xian took a step closer, his tone becoming impatient, "It's come to this point, can't you take the initiative? Do I have to do it myself?"

hateful!

That bastard! He actually tried to force himself on me!

Wang Zhiwen really wanted to smash the bracelet right now and leave.

But she can't.

She represented the Wang family, and in front of the entire internet live stream, she voluntarily crushed the bracelet to admit defeat, which was more humiliating than killing them.

To complete the mission... that's all.

In any case, he was just a pawn kept by the Wang family, and could be sacrificed at any time.

Using this body that no longer belongs to me to gain a chance to move forward seems... not such a big deal.

Having figured this out, Wang Zhiwen's tense body relaxed.

She looked directly at Yang Xian, gritted her teeth, and said, "Fine! I agree! But... you have to keep your word!"

"Of course," Yang Xian approached, "you don't have a choice now."

Upon hearing this answer, Wang Zhiwen closed her eyes in despair. "Let's go... to a secluded place."

"Where to?" Yang Xian's eyelids twitched. "Why don't you just transfer your points to me now?"

Wang Zhiwen: "???"

Transfer... transfer points?

That's it?

She stared blankly at Yang Xian, stammering, "Could it be... you don't mean to...?"

"What are you thinking about?" Yang Xian looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"I just want your points."

"Although Wang Yi is annoyingly arrogant, he still has some martial ethics. He gave us time to prepare, otherwise we might not have won so easily."

"I don't like owing favors to others. I'll let you off the hook today."

Since Wang Yi has gone easy on him, Yang Xian might as well forgive him this time.

If someone treats me with respect, I will repay them tenfold.

This is not called a saintly heart.

"what……"

Wang Zhiwen's ears turned red, but thankfully she was wearing a mask at the moment.

She then realized that she had been overthinking things from beginning to end!

This isn't my fault!

What this guy says is just too easy to misunderstand!

"Okay! I... I'll give you all my points!"

It's just points; once they're given, they're given.

As long as you're not eliminated, you still have a chance to advance!

The transfer of points was completed quickly.

The numbers on Yang Xian's bracelet jumped wildly, and his ranking instantly soared from third to first place.

Wang Yi and Wang Zhiwen, on the other hand, dropped out of the top eight.

"While the other players haven't reacted yet, let's quickly take Wang Yi somewhere to recover from his injury."

"One more day. Good luck."

"Next time I see you guys, I won't hold back again."

Yang Xian waved his hand and turned to leave.

Before leaving, Wang Zhiwen, carrying Wang Yi on her back, couldn't help but turn back and say:

"Thanks……"

The live stream room for Group Six erupted in excitement once again.

[Just let them go like that? Why didn't Yang Xi'an just eliminate them outright? They're our biggest competitors!]

[What does the person upstairs know? Eliminating someone only gets you half the points, now it's all! Yang's move is called maximizing profits! He's about to set a new single-game points record!]

I think this might just be a case of mutual respect between experts. After all, Wang Yi had very kindly given them time to prepare.

[Perspective! This is the perspective of a true leader!]

……

The third day of the qualifying rounds passed quickly.

During this time, no one in the sixth group dared to cause trouble for Yang Xian.

Yang Xian also didn't want anyone to come to his door.

He had a pleasant day with Zhou Xier and also gained a lot of emotional points.

On the other side, Wang Yi lay in bed for a whole day before waking up.

Wang Zhiwen eventually gave him all the points she earned from the hunting trip.

Wang Yi just barely made it into eighth place and successfully advanced!

With this, the three-day qualifying rounds officially came to an end.

------

Open-air venue.

Congratulations to all the contestants who have successfully advanced!

"Now, I have two important announcements to make."

The host's voice was amplified and carried throughout the venue.

"First, due to the recent unstable energy fluctuations in Secret Realm No. 121, the opening time of this Secret Realm may be brought forward, according to the expert group's speculation."

"In order to shorten the overall event process..."

"We have decided that the player who wins first place in each group during the qualifying rounds will automatically qualify for one of the sixteen spots in this secret realm without having to participate in the subsequent elimination rounds!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

There were a total of sixteen spots in the secret realm, and the top team from each of the eight groups took half of them.

This means that the remaining 56 contestants will compete for the final eight spots.

The live stream chat was filled with rapidly scrolling comments.

[Holy crap! What does this mean? Fifty-six people are competing for eight spots? This is seriously difficult!]

[That's not necessarily true, is it? The eight strongest have already been guaranteed advancement, and the rest are all about the same strength, so it might be easier to fight them?]

[There are pros and cons. It's a bad thing for those with top-tier skills but bad luck in not getting first place, but it's an opportunity for those ranked lower.]

The host cleared his throat:

"Second piece of news! Special thanks to the Jiang family of Nanhai for their generous sponsorship of this competition!"

"The top sixteen contestants who ultimately secure a spot in the secret realm will receive a generous prize specially prepared by the Jiang family!"

Hmm? The Jiang family got involved too?

Yang Xian was slightly taken aback, but then he figured out the key to it.

The Jiang family played this move brilliantly.

By awarding prizes, we can extend a friendly gesture to all the top players in advance and forge a good relationship.

Even if these contestants don't deliberately seek out the "Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus" after entering the secret realm.

However, when they encounter members of the Jiang family, they usually give them some face and don't deliberately make things difficult for them.

This is equivalent to the Jiang family finding themselves a dozen or so potential temporary helpers.

"As for the specific rewards..."

"Let's give a warm round of applause to the second young lady of the Jiang family from the South China Sea—"

"Ms. Jiang Mengyun!"
