Zhang Chulan's eyes were glued to the screen, at least on the surface.
Although he is quite shrewd and not exactly a master of judging people or social skills, many of the emotions he expresses are deliberately exaggerated.
However, one thing is true: he is certain that Xia Jie is an extraordinary person.
(Go, help me look into this person.)
Xu Si, who was standing to the side, typed on his phone, instructing his henchmen, who were known for their connections, to investigate Xia Jie's background.
After all, although this person speaks in a very frivolous manner, his strength, the way he appears, and even his intelligence-gathering methods are all somewhat unusual.
Check it out, just in case.
Once their secrets are revealed, the company's methods mean there's practically no non-powerful superhuman they can't handle.
His complete lack of impression of Xia Jie only proves one thing: Xia Jie is neither an important figure in a major supernatural force nor a highly skilled supernatural expert.
In other words, yes, he has the ability to control Xia Jie!
Eight and a half minutes later...
"What? Can't find it? What do you mean his name isn't on the electronic register of superhumans?"
"What do you mean by saying the information we found says he's an ordinary person?"
"What do you mean by saying that although he has a legal birth record, he has no father, no mother, no relatives, no friends, no education, no job, and even his online history only started in the last two days?"
What does it mean that your browser history is full of entertainment content suitable for children?
"What do you mean by saying the money in his bank account was directly given to him by the bank?"
Is this reasonable?
At this moment, in Xu Si's mind, Xia Jie was no longer an ordinary superhuman, and he had to strike hard!
Chapter 106 is the most entertaining episode.
What is an ordinary person?
As the name suggests, it refers to an ordinary person.
Xia Jie's Mind Lock completely sealed away her extraordinary qualities.
Now, he can no longer sense the meridians and innate Qi within his body. Even the "uniqueness of time and space" and "pseudo-proof eternal proof" created by his causeless and effectless external body have disappeared. Naturally, he also lacks universal resistance and Kyubey's wish-granting ability.
In other words, cheating is not allowed.
He must learn and strive.
Not to mention that after his subordinates reported Xia Jie's unusual identity to headquarters, Xu San and Xu Si, who quickly obtained Xia Jie's information with the help of the temporary worker "Er Zhuang" who happened to be available, planned to deal with Xia Jie, whether to recruit her as Zhang Chulan's henchman or lock her up in jail.
In short, everything went smoothly for him from then on. He successfully met up with many other contestants, successfully listened to the old master's speech, and successfully drew his own number.
Without activating their internal energy, aside from the brighter light in their eyes and the exceptional case of the artificial immortal Feng Baobao with her keen senses, the extraordinary individuals do not actually possess the domineering aura and overwhelming pressure of those in martial arts novels.
Most superhumans look no different from ordinary people, so as long as they don't cause trouble, Xia Jie, an ordinary person without a mocking face, will not reveal her abnormality of having no cultivation.
Even when the old master who was speaking glanced at him, he only thought he was a novice superhuman with a confident demeanor but low cultivation.
Thus, the unlucky yet lucky Xia Jie drew the same animal as Zhang Lingyu, the last disciple of the Celestial Master, in the first round.
According to the rules of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, in the preliminary round, four people form a group. Those who draw the same animal must eliminate the other three in order to advance to the next round.
So who exactly is Zhang Lingyu? He is a love-struck individual who likes Xia He, despises his own impure Yin Five Thunder, is jealous of Zhang Chulan's Yang Five Thunder, is one of the ten disciples of the Celestial Master, is a top contender for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, is the well-known successor to the Celestial Master position, and has many female fans who idolize him as a celebrity because of his handsome appearance and top-notch temperament.
If it weren't for the fact that the Celestial Master had put a meridian-blocking poison in Zhang Lingyu's breakfast in the original work, the final winner of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony would have been Zhang Lingyu, not Zhang Chulan.
Putting aside his strength, if we only look at his character design, Lao Yu would definitely be a righteous saint who was abducted by a demonic witch in a novel.
Now, Xia Jie, who has killed the demoness of the Demonic Sect, is about to challenge Zhang Lingyu, the holy son of the "Dragon and Tiger Holy Land," on the "Battle Arena" as an ordinary person.
Will it win?
We will win!
"Please welcome the contestants to the stage!"
The voice of the Taoist priest came from inside the arena, and Xia Jie and two other strange people with ordinary faces walked into the arena together.
Before entering the arena, the two supernatural beings had already agreed to join forces to deal with Zhang Lingyu. They also invited Xia Jie to join in to share information and discuss tactics.
However, Xia Jie refused. Since he had agreed to defeat the world on his own, he would never rely on the power of others to complete the game.
In the center of the cement exterior wall is an oval-shaped wooden auditorium, and inside the auditorium is a specially compacted and leveled loess ground.
As a favorite to win the championship, and more importantly, with his ethereal and otherworldly appearance, Zhang Lingyu's battle drew a large audience, filled with both bloodthirsty spectators and supporters holding red banners and shouting "Lingyu, Lingyu, I love you!"
Zhang Chulan, the protagonist of Under One Person, was also sitting in the audience watching the battle.
For him, it was essential to see in advance the tactics and reactions of ordinary extraordinary individuals when facing established powerhouses in the preliminary rounds.
In the audience, Xia Jie could easily predict how these fanatical fans would chase after him seeking revenge if he beat Zhang Lingyu into a pulp.
Reaching the center of the arena, Xia Jie ignored Zhang Lingyu's bow and raised her arms, shouting:
"All eyes are on me! Look at me! I have something to announce!"
The sound echoed throughout the stadium, even creating a ripple effect in the empty arena, startling the fan support group who were cheering for Zhang Lingyu.
"What's this guy up to?"
The two companions, the flat-headed Yi Ren and the bald monk Yi Ren, looked at Xia Jie, who had walked to the center of the venue, with confusion. Zhang Lingyu, who was bowing, also looked up in puzzlement.
"The match is about to begin. This contestant, please finish speaking as soon as possible!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion, who was acting as the referee, frowned, wondering what kind of trouble Xia Jie was up to.
"Battles in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony must be stopped short of killing, right?"
“Yes,” the Taoist priest replied.
"But righteous people can kill anyone they encounter from the Quanxing sect, right?"
"This contestant, please refrain from asking questions unrelated to the competition to waste time," the Taoist priest said, growing impatient.
"If I announce now that I've joined Quanxing, could I get the other three members to kill me?"
What do you mean by that?
The Taoist priest frowned, unable to understand Xia Jie's extraordinary thought process.
The cheers that had become somewhat sparse due to Xia Jie's continuous speeches completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by hushed whispers.
Zhang Chulan, sitting in the audience, rubbed his temples, trying to understand Xia Jie's reasonable motives for doing so.
Running up to the gates of a top-tier righteous force in the world of supernatural beings and shouting that you want to join the evil sect—that's not how you court death!
One of his purposes in coming here to watch the battle was to see if Zhang Lingyu could force Xia Jie to reveal his true strength. He never expected that before the battle even started, this guy would pull off such a big feat.
"Cough cough, oh my god..."
Even the Zhenquanxing members, who had disguised themselves and infiltrated the arena to watch the match using the Thousand-Faced Human Domain's poison technique, couldn't hold back any longer.
Who would have thought that after Ding Shian, one of the two heroes, there would be a second madman who would dare to use the name of Quanxing to deliberately provoke powerful enemies?
Who does he think he is, a second Ding Shian? Ding Shian dares to do this because he is strong enough that those who genuinely want to kill him are weaker than him, and the old master who is stronger than him wouldn't come to kill him for no reason.
After all, he only joins gangs to cause trouble and get beaten up, rather than actively committing evil deeds to harm others.
He's probably the type who falls into strife but doesn't become a sadist. If placed in a small circle of eccentric people who appreciate human relationships, he has the right to punish himself with three cups of wine and then turn over a new leaf at any time.
"That's alright, referee, I was just joking."
Xia Jie waved his hand and said that even if it was just a friendly spar, Zhang Lingyu could put enough pressure on him.
The "I join Quanxing" and "I have the Eight Extraordinary Skills" buttons, which are full-map taunts, are not yet ready to be used.
Xia Jie was certain, at least, that his first battle with Zhang Lingyu would not be his final battle.
"What a disappointment, all that excitement for nothing."
Some people in the audience, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, grimaced and complained in disappointment.
"Hmph! I declare the competition officially open!" The middle-aged Taoist priest's forehead veins bulged slightly as he waved his hand to signal the start of the competition, lest Lao Xia continue to play tricks.
As Zhang Lingyu's Qi gathered and rose, Xia Jie spoke in a voice that only the four people present could hear:
"Zhang Lingyu, I killed Xia He with the bone-scraping knife. Please don't hold back."
Chapter 107 Re-enlightenment.
Upon hearing this, both the flat-headed and monk-like figures froze, disregarding the fact that a battle had already begun, and immediately distanced themselves from Xia Jie.
They all felt that Xia Jie's words lacked credibility, but regardless of Xia Jie's true strength, it would be good to let Xia Jie and Zhang Lingyu wear each other down.
As for why they were confident that Zhang and Xia would wear each other down rather than get caught in a three-way battle.
You can tell from their expressions.
At this moment, Xia Jie's face was full of arrogant and flamboyant fighting spirit. His will to "fight to the last moment" was so obvious that he no longer needed to say it.
Zhang Lingyu's expression was even more fascinating, somewhere between indifference and gritted teeth, a mix of crying and laughing, much like Agni's smile in Flame Fist.
The overwhelming emotions completely shattered the facade of "the perfect successor to the Celestial Master" that he had been trying so hard to maintain.
Upon closer examination, the sadness and anger, the desire for hatred yet the helplessness, the doubt about the words and the faint murderous intent towards Xia Jie were all mixed together, which was quite strange.
The noble cause of killing the Quanxing Yiren and the selfish desire to avenge Xia He are like conflicting codes within Hakimi, vying for control of Zhang Lingyu's brain and nearly causing his thinking to crash.
"Whether what you're saying is true or false, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
Three full seconds passed before the two conflicting lines of code finally found a balance.
Since his conscience wouldn't allow him to kill a good person, giving him a good beating wouldn't be a bad solution.
only……
"Master, I have disappointed you."
A soft, murmured sound arose.
Zhang Lingyu knew that this move would not only cause his image to collapse and him to lose all his composure, but would also make him lose face for the Celestial Master's Mansion.
He already felt guilty towards his master for only being able to cultivate Yin Five Thunder because of his loss of virginity, and now he still wanted to...
