I'm already invincible, and you're telling me I just logged in?

Reality is not a copy.

After the two punches landed, the pain caused Jiang Chengying to completely lose her composure and frantically pounce on Xu Yan, as if she wanted to return all the humiliation she had just suffered.

Unfortunately, Xu Yan was too fast in his state of perfect harmony with nature. After dodging the attack, his fists rained down on him.

Jiang Chengying could only hastily raise his arm to block, trying his best to prevent Xu Yan from attacking his vital points again.

Some bystanders tried to step forward to help, but retreated after taking only half a step.

Those who participated in the review were all at the Cave Vein Realm.

The all-out battle between those at the Transcendent Realm was so intense and fast-paced that they simply couldn't break through.

You could get hurt if you're not careful.

Before long, the battle reached a fever pitch.

Jiang Chengying was hit by Xu Yan's punches several times in a row, and his health bar was almost depleted. Finally, a trace of fear appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

With his final strike, Xu Yan channeled his remaining internal energy, delivering a punch that struck Jiang Chengying squarely in the temple.

Its head shattered instantly, like a watermelon being smashed.

Blood and bone fragments splattered everywhere, and warm liquid splashed onto Xu Yan's face.

Jiang Chengying's body stiffened for a moment, then collapsed limply as if her spine had been removed.

Xu Yan glanced at the sharp claw that had almost grabbed his neck and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, my speed increased significantly after breaking through the cave vein, and I managed to dodge it.

After catching his breath, Xu Yan turned around and frowned.

He discovered that the guy whose real name was Chen Dingyi had disappeared.

The true purpose of those at level 32 is probably not as simple as just attending the review.

After Jiang Chengying collapsed, everyone around who was still alive was stunned.

At first, they thought Xu Yan was from the Police Department, but after seeing his clothes, they realized that he was also an examinee who had come to participate in the review.

But this level of strength is simply too exaggerated.

"What kind of boxing style is this?"

In this world where "clothing determines social status and urban and rural areas distinguish between the noble and the lowly," people like Xu Yan, who come from noble families, are not considered worthy of mastering any profound martial arts in the eyes of the scions of noble families.

Moreover, he was a lowly martial arts practitioner.

"He's at the Transcendent Realm!"

As soon as he said this, more people agreed with him, their gazes carrying a hint of disdain and resentment.

When a martial artist at the Transcendent Realm participates in the review, the Superintendent of Arrests usually arranges for them to deal with an opponent of the same level separately; they should never appear in Sin City.

After everyone had caught their breath, the officers from the Bureau of Arrests hurriedly arrived.

Upon learning that remnants of the Blood Lotus Cult had emerged from Sin City, their expressions turned extremely grave.

"Yuntang, are you alright?" Qin Feng quickly stepped forward and reached out to help Ye Yuntang.

Ye Yuntang slightly turned to avoid him and shook her head: "Cousin, there's a difference between men and women, I'm fine."

Her voice was weak and distant.

Ye Shurong helped the girl to the side, reached out to check her breathing, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.

Although there were some injuries, none of them were fatal.

"Yuntang, let me take you home first."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuntang hesitated for a moment, her gaze sweeping across the crowd, but she still couldn't see that figure. In the end, she could only respond softly and follow Ye Shurong back.

......

After Jiang Chengying died, Xu Yan was unable to receive the second reward.

Perhaps it's because he's a "captured" criminal in Sin City, so he's not on the system's roster.

Xu Yan couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

It was a waste of effort.

After taking a Rejuvenation Pill, he left the place immediately.

There's still time. Let's search again to see if any slipped through the net and try to win some prizes.

Unfortunately, Xu Yan searched for two hours, but in the vast city of sin, he didn't encounter a single person.

Just as he was preparing to return home, he suddenly heard a faint sound.

Xu Yan immediately became alert and followed the sound.

He still remembered that everyone in this sin city was Old Six.

Following the sound into a narrow alley, Xu Yan's gaze froze.

"Quack! Quack!"

A golden creature with a toad's body and a treasure chest shell was hopping forward in the alley.

[Mid-Tier Gold-Eating Beast]

quack!

Sensing someone approaching, the gold-devouring beast paused, then suddenly sank towards the ground, preparing to burrow into the earth.

Xu Yan was overjoyed. He quickly stepped forward, clenched his fists, and forcefully pulled it out of the soil.

He never imagined he would encounter this thing in Sin City.

Last time they obtained the Seven Injury Fist, what will they get this time?

Xu Yan's strength is now vastly different from before. He can open the box without Dongfang Canghai, and he takes down the Gold-Eating Beast with just a few punches.

After the Gold-Eating Beast died, its body turned into specks of light and dissipated.

Several items appeared on the ground.

The first thing that catches the eye is a golden soft nail, with a fine texture and excellent condition.

【Golden Silk Soft Nails】

[Quality: Purple]

External Defense +125, Internal Defense +50

Xu Yan hadn't expected that before he even had a defensive martial arts technique, he would first receive a piece of protective gear.

Then, he frowned.

The color was so glaring; my clothes were already torn in several places and couldn't cover it up at all.

A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

Xu Yan put on the new soft armor and then put the old one on top of it.

Although they're a bit uncomfortable to wear, this is the only option for now.

After checking the panel, I found that the defense was not stacked; it was just that the attributes of the new armor had overwritten the original ones.

Xu Yan then took inventory of the remaining items.

A golden pill, with a hint of white.

【Exquisite Heart-Soothing Elixir】

[After taking it, Willpower increases by 8 points]

Another pill that increases basic attributes!

Xu Yan instinctively reached for his mouth.

The next moment, he suddenly remembered something.

Looking at the pill in his hand, Xu Yan recalled Dongfang Canghai, who was still suffering from qi deviation.

Chen Xuan once mentioned that whether one can withstand the onset of demonic possession depends on one's willpower.

After much hesitation, Xu Yan finally decided to leave the pill to Dongfang Canghai.

The elixir is good, but there will be other opportunities to obtain it in the future.

However, if Dongfang Canghai could awaken to the truth earlier, he might achieve complete harmony between man and nature sooner.

Maybe this will officially start his side story!

After putting away the pills, Xu Yan's gaze fell on the last item.

His expression froze for a moment.

It turned out to be a woman's undergarment.

You really have all sorts of things!

After confirming that there were no other items, Xu Yan prepared to leave.

He seemed to have thought of something, and raised his hand to touch the area below his neck.

When Xu Yan changed into the soft armor just now, she felt that something was not right.

At the time, I was only focused on looking at the new armor and didn't pay much attention to it.

After finding nothing, Xu Yan's heart sank. He squatted down and began searching the ground: "Where's my jade pendant?"

......

Anle City, the Ye family.

Inside a woman's boudoir.

Ye Yuntang sat at the desk and said softly through the door, "Cousin, I am not feeling well today and cannot receive guests. Please leave."

In this world, marriage between cousins ​​is not uncommon.

But in Ye Yuntang's heart, she didn't actually like Qin Feng.

As the eldest daughter of the Ye family, she could hear rumors from various sources.

My cousin isn't as glamorous as he seems on the surface.

The last time she went out with him, it was because her aunt repeatedly invited her, and she couldn't refuse, so she just went along with it.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Ye Yuntang's gaze fell on the jade pendant in her hand.

The jade pendant is as white as snow, with the character "叶" (leaf) engraved on its surface.

It was Xu Yan's piece.

Jiang Chengying reached for Xu Yan's neck with a claw, but missed, instead snapping the jade pendant's cord.

After the jade pendant fell to the ground, it developed a fine crack.

When Ye Yuntang picked up the jade pendant, she intended to return it to its rightful owner, but when she looked up again, Xu Yan had already disappeared.

She placed Xu Yan's jade pendant on the table and then took out several fragments from her brocade pouch.

Piecing them together one by one.

The two jade pendants are almost identical in style.

The only difference is that one is engraved with the character "叶" (Ye), while the other is engraved with the character "肖" (Xiao).

......

Not long after.

Qin family.

Inside the room, Qin Feng looked at his subordinates and asked, "Where's the item? Did you find it?"

Many people died during this review.

Those members of the local aristocratic families in Anle City were all sadly led back by their respective families.

As for those from other places, their bodies are still in the morgue of the Superintendent's Office, waiting for their families or nominees to come and claim them.

The subordinate shook his head: "Young master, the item wasn't found. He should be alright."

"He's lucky to be alive," Qin Feng muttered in surprise.

Just then, his subordinate suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood without warning.

Before Qin Feng could speak again, a voice that was both stern and authoritative came from outside the door.

"You did all of this today, didn't you?"

"Next time you wipe your bottom, remember to wipe it clean."
