The male supporting character was actually myself.

Because of the system's decreased favorability, Mu Liuli did not receive any rewards because she was not provoked and her defenses were not broken in a face-to-face confrontation.

But she clearly didn't realize that the situation had changed. She only noticed the constant notifications of rewards before she was struck by lightning; after being struck, the system stopped making a sound, which meant there weren't many ordinary people left to exploit.

After all, once the favorability drops to a certain level, people become numb to it, and they may not receive any more rewards.

But this guy in front of me hasn't given me a single reward yet, he's really shameless!

"Sword Spirit Sect, Jin Hongxuan." Jiang Chen stepped onto the arena, sword in one hand, and loudly announced his sect and name.

Mu Liuli bit her lip and rolled her eyes. "A rogue cultivator, known as the invincible, righteous beauty, Zhilan."

She made up a pseudonym and was very proud of it.

Hey hey hey, I'll use a fake name, what are you going to do about it? If I turn my back on you later, I'll just deny being Mu Liuli, what can you do about it? I can't exactly drag that old man with kidney deficiency into a paternity test to prove I'm Mu Liuli, can I?

She thought her trick of being a rogue was very clever, and that it would definitely anger a large group of people so much that they would break down and she would easily get the reward.

"Zhilan?" Lan Ying, who was sitting in the audience, was taken aback. What was Miss doing?

Do you think people won't recognize you if you use a fake name?

Was he struck by lightning and went mad?

In today's internet age, your every word and action is exposed online. If the family's public relations department can't suppress the news, what's the point of making up a fake name except to make people feel even more disgusted?

Jiang Chen: ...

An invincible, righteous, and beautiful girl? I'll beat you up, you shameless bastard!

"Take this!" Without saying much, he drew his sword and unleashed the ultimate move of the Heart of Light that the original owner had cultivated.

Enveloped in a hazy light, Jiang Chen was surrounded by small tally marks, making him appear upright and righteous.

In the original storyline, Mu Liuli received a generous reward and her strength increased greatly before she even stepped onto the arena.

He then used various tools to cheat, using his Qi Refining Level 2 strength to easily defeat a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, humiliating and defeating him until his Dao Heart collapsed. The reward he received was to directly comprehend the highest realm of the Bright Path cultivated by Jin Hongxuan.

So, radiating righteousness and aura, she used props to frame Jin Hongxuan for the sneak attack and ordered someone to bribe the restaurant owner, Nangong Yingluo.

With multiple buffs, everyone chose to believe Mu Liuli's outrageous accusations that Jin Hongxuan had vandalized the restaurant without cause and attempted to bully the beautiful boss, and that she was the righteous person who stepped in to help those in need.

However, the quantity and quality of the items Mu Liuli has obtained have dropped significantly, and she is too slow. Jiang Chen took the lead and released the Path of Light that Jin Hongxuan had cultivated, thus gaining a favorable position.

"Such powerful spiritual energy! No wonder you're a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect!"

"He cultivates the legendary Path of Light! I heard it's incredibly difficult to master!"

"What a righteous and brilliant young swordsman! He upholds justice and fights for the underdog, eliminating the root of trouble for our Wuhai City!"

"Tsk tsk, Jin Hongxuan has the Sword Spirit Sect behind him; Mu Liuli has a Golden Core Realm father. I wonder who will emerge victorious between these two..."

…………

As soon as the sword energy was unleashed, the onlookers all praised Jin Hongxuan.

Only Mu Liuli's guards had long faces and dared not utter a word. The Grand Elder's phone was constantly busy and he hadn't replied to any messages. Who could stop the young lady from courting death and challenging them to the arena?

If she were beaten half to death, it wouldn't be as easy as just getting a scolding for being a freeloader; she might even lose her life!

Lan Ying was so anxious that sweat was pouring down her forehead. The other party was so powerful that the young lady could never beat her. But she was so foul-mouthed and insulting to the sect, how could that young man possibly show mercy?

"Well done!" Mu Liuli shouted, using her usual boastful phrase, then swung her golden silk whip, "Behold my Childless and Grandchildless Whip!"

The spirit whip, like a snake, went straight for Jin Hongxuan's lower body. She wanted to use the double buff of props and pills to castrate the pretty boy in one fell swoop.

Ha, I can end the fight in a second. That's how strong I am!

Mu Liuli's act of ignoring the opponent's attacks and fiercely attacking the most important position immediately drew a chorus of "boos" from the onlookers. Usually, when faced with such unsportsmanlike moves, the opponent would have no choice but to withdraw and defend to avoid being hurt.

However, Jiang Chen was not afraid at all.

The powerful impact of the sword strike made Mu Liuli unable to open her eyes. At the same time, the whip in her hand seemed to be blocked by a steel plate. The fierce attack caused a violent backlash that made her right hand numb. The next second, the whip flew out of her hand.

"what!"

Mu Liuli only managed to let out a brief gasp before she was sent flying.

"Gudong!"

She crashed hard into the protective shield of the ring, falling face down onto the ring without any chance to recover.

"boom!"

The battle was decided in a single move; the vicious woman was beaten to a pulp, and the onlookers and over a million netizens in the live stream laughed with satisfaction.

"Hahahaha, I thought she was so confident, with some killer move from her dad, but this is all she got?"

"Oh dear, Jin Hongxuan didn't do a good job. He finished too quickly. He should have walked the dog around a couple of times before finishing it."

"I never expected to see such a wonderful scene in the live broadcast room. It's refreshing and pleasing to the eye. Let's send a yacht as a reward!"

"I followed them, and just by browsing, I discovered this amazing streamer. I could watch their recordings dozens of times and never get tired of them!"

"'Cutting off one's offspring'? Such a despicable trick? She should be called 'disgraceful,' hahaha..."

…………

Contrary to the various sarcastic remarks online, Jiang Chen, who had won with a single move, did not press his advantage but stood still and waited for her to get up.

[Mission: Lose to Mu Liuli in the arena match. Reward: Instantly master all learned martial arts techniques, including the Heavenly-level Eight Desolate Sword Technique.]

"Tui!" The fluffy ball spat and cursed, "You stupid virus, you know you sent out the mission too late? My host had already won, and Mu Liuli was almost dead and couldn't stand up anymore, and you only just sent out the mission to make him lose? Isn't that crazy?"

Is the virus issuing a mission now?

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, becoming alert. Mu Liuli was bound to a system; she might have a backup plan and be planning a sneak attack!

With this in mind, he clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly, "The outcome of the arena match is already decided. You and I are not mortal enemies. Let's end it here."

Since you lost, you should apologize to the waiter who insulted you as "lower class"; apologize to the owner of the Cherry Blossom Restaurant and compensate for the losses; and publish an apology to my sect in the newspaper.

To be honest, we have no connection whatsoever. The whole thing started because you vandalized the restaurant and insulted ordinary people for no reason.

It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Having suffered a setback in this competition, it is hoped that Miss Mu will mend her ways, learn shame and honor, and refrain from further reckless actions that rely solely on her martial arts background and family connections to harm others.

Chapter Fourteen: Sneak Attack and Distortion of Truth

"You actually... practiced Iron Crotch Kung Fu?" Mu Liuli managed to squeeze out a few words with a trembling tone.

She lay motionless on the ring, her whole body feeling like it was falling apart from head to toe, inside and out, and she was in so much pain that she was gasping for breath. Even her small, high nose bridge felt like it was about to be broken.

I thought that using underhanded and ruthless tactics would make the other party suffer, but who knew that the pretty boy would be so ruthless to me!

The whip was shaken away; that wasn't just iron for cultivation, it was practically... numb! What bad luck to run into a super freak!

"Miss? Miss, how are you?" Lan Ying was extremely anxious, but neither side had called a halt and the protective barrier of the arena was still active. She slammed the transparent light shield repeatedly.

Mu Liuli took a deep breath and realized that she was seriously injured. Several of her ribs were broken, and her long, thin legs were dangling to one side, making it impossible for her to stand up.

Only then did she truly understand the difference between martial artists and ordinary people. In her previous life, she would probably have died from being beaten like that. After transmigrating and possessing the powerful body of a martial artist, she was only seriously injured, not even to the point of fainting from the pain.

Could it be that I'll be defeated by this perverted pretty boy in one move?

No! If I really admit defeat like this, how will I ever face anyone?!

Damn it, a dignified transmigrator who is also bound to a system cheat is absolutely not going to admit defeat to a perverted supporting character!

If I don't fleece you until you're bald today, I'll change my surname to yours!

"System, I want to use the exchange function. Exchange for a pill that will instantly restore my health to full. I'm going to do something even more wicked!" she whispered.

[Based on the host's current demonstrated abilities, the system analyzes that your success rate in committing evil deeds is less than 30%. The exchange function will have a 72-hour cooldown once used. Would you like to use up your favorability points for the exchange?]

"Yes!" Mu Liuli answered without hesitation.

She didn't believe the analysis of the foul-smelling system at all; how could she possibly be incompetent?

I'm new to this world and haven't been bound to the system yet, so I'm not familiar with the items and stuff. Other people transmigrate for a year or two and still don't have much to show for it, and I've only been here two days! Besides, I'm a philanthropist; why would I scheme, do bad things, or frame someone...

The word "framing" flashed through Mu Liuli's mind like a light, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yeah, why didn't I think of distorting the truth before?

Hmph! Jin Hongxuan, your show-off journey ends here. Now watch my ultimate reversal!

First, exchange for the pill, swallow it, and you'll instantly feel as light as a swallow and be fully revived on the spot;

Then, taking advantage of his smugness and belief that he had won, they launched a sneak attack and knocked him down!

I haven't even admitted defeat yet, what's the meaning of you unilaterally declaring me the loser? Are you afraid that continuing the fight will expose that you're a good-for-nothing?

Hehe, once I've beaten him half to death, the winner takes all and the loser is condemned. Right and wrong will naturally be decided by me, especially...

A mischievous smile crept across her lips as she looked at the item reward in her system inventory that could confuse the system.

How many people can there be in the audience?

Once the truth is reversed, it will be the perfect opportunity to slap those streamers in the face and accuse them of maliciously editing videos to slander us!

Then we'll hire some online trolls to whitewash his image. Oh, and I also need to have my trusted confidant win over that stunningly beautiful boss and throw a huge bucket of mud at that guy surnamed Jin.

When the time comes, it will be Jin Hongxuan, a disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect, who will cause trouble, insult people, and vandalize the restaurant without cause. He even tried to force himself on the beautiful boss. It was only because I saw injustice and drew my sword to help that the arena match was arranged...

A malicious plan to subvert the facts took shape in Mu Liuli's mind in seconds. She knew exactly how to take advantage of the internet age and the numerous netizens, keyboard warriors who took advantage of the chaos, and online trolls who only cared about their own interests.

As long as I succeed in my sneak attack and stand on the stage as the victor, I have plenty of ways to make Jin Hongxuan speechless and suffocating!

Once my perfect plan to distort the truth and mislead the public is implemented, the filthy system will definitely increase its favorability towards me!

"System, oh system, you've won this time. I've decided to temporarily submit and become a vicious villain. Remember to give me plenty of rewards, okay?" She muttered to herself, and with a flick of her finger, she took out a Heaven-grade Great Restoration Pill that she had exchanged by overdrawing her system favorability from her system inventory.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Mu Liuli could feel her twisted internal organs rapidly recovering, and her broken bones healed in just a few breaths!

After swallowing a priceless top-grade pill, she sprang up and stood on the arena again, full of energy.

"As expected of the top-tier elixir, not only did I recover immediately, but my body even seems to have strengthened by two degrees." Mu Liuli clenched her hands, feeling the comfort and ease throughout her body. A provocative sneer spread across her face as she said, "You think you can do anything to me with just one sword strike? You piece of trash, so self-righteous. You really think you've won? Ha, this is the first time I've seen someone so shameless as to declare themselves the winner..."

She continued her tirade, trying to distract him so she could launch a sneak attack, but Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and a smile played on his lips.

The aura of the wild pseudo-master has dimmed somewhat.

On the surface, he only used one sword strike, but in reality, while his Horcrux was blocking the opponent's whip, he had already broken her limbs and ribs. The fact that she recovered so quickly and was still lively, coupled with her dimmed aura...

It's very likely that she secretly made some kind of deal with the system while she was lying on the ground.

Although it's unclear what exactly happened, the approach is clearly correct: by constantly thwarting her attempts to do bad things and causing her to suffer backlash, the system will likely abandon this useless person at a certain point.
