One person: Activate the talisman, behold my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!

'Zhang Chulan shows signs of agitation and resistance; emotion value +80!'

'Shocked and bewildered emotions detected in Xu San, emotion value +40!'

'Xu Si has shown signs of curiosity and doubt. Emotion value +50!'

Ye Xing patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder, putting on a heartfelt and comforting tone.

"What's the panic? Don't you have a Xunlei VIP membership? The speed isn't bad. Besides, I'm here for you. You've seen my speed before, I'll make sure you're safe."

Zhang Chulan shook his head like a rattle drum, his voice sounding like he was about to cry.

"I won't do it! I'd rather die than do it! My membership has expired and I can't use it. Let's end this directly, no more of these fancy tricks!"

Seeing Zhang Chulan's stubborn refusal, Ye Xing also dropped his smile, sighed seriously, and began to try to get closer to him.

"Chu Lan, think about it carefully. We've known each other for so long, have I ever tricked you? Before, when we met Quanxing, at Tianxiahui, and these past few days on the mountain. This time, just do me a favor and cooperate. Please."

Zhang Chulan pursed his lips and couldn't help but blurt out, "But wasn't that all voluntary on your part..."

Ye Xing's expression froze for a moment, then he sneered and slowly closed his five fingers, making a crisp "crack" sound from his knuckles.

"Chu Lan, what did you just say? The wind was too strong, I didn't hear you clearly."

Seeing Ye Xing's forced smile and clenched fist, Zhang Chulan shrank back.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xing changed his tone.

"Chu Lan! Don't you want to win? As long as you cooperate with me, the championship is yours."

Zhang Chulan showed an indifferent expression: "But I already know about my grandfather's matter, so whether I win the championship or not doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing was speechless.

Good heavens, they've been waiting here!

They started by leaking all sorts of information to boost their emotional value, and now the boomerang has come back.

Since they won't listen to gentle persuasion, we'll have to resort to force.

Ye Xing stood up, stretched his neck, and his eyes became extremely dangerous.

"Well done, Chu Lan, you've really gotten better."

Ye Xing took a step closer, looking down at him. "But aren't you mistaken about something?"

"What?"

Zhang Chulan felt a little uneasy under their gaze and subconsciously shifted his position back.

'Zhang Chulan has shown signs of tension and fear; his emotion level has increased by 60.'

"If you don't agree, don't blame me for using force."

As Ye Xing spoke, he clenched his fist and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Don't cry out in pain if you end up with several comminuted fractures!"

Looking at Ye Xing's seemingly genuine dangerous expression, and thinking about Ye Xing's fist, Zhang Chulan swallowed hard.

After delivering the threatening words, Ye Xing softened his tone.

"Chu Lan, although I helped you voluntarily, I've helped you so much already. How can you not even help me with this little favor? Can you live with yourself?"

"Besides, doesn't the old master also hope you win the championship? Can you bear to disappoint your grandmaster?"

Zhang Chulan's face scrunched up in a bitter expression. After struggling for a long time, he finally gave in.

"Okay, I'll act, but you have to swear that you absolutely can't abandon me and run away after this is all over! You have to take me with you!"

Ye Xing was delighted and immediately patted his chest to assure him.

"Absolutely! Don't worry, if I ever abandon you, I'll change my name!"

Xu Si, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. He walked over with great interest and looked Ye Xing up and down.

"Hey Ye Xing, what are you trying to achieve? Why do you have to drag this unlucky guy into getting yelled at?"

Xu San also pushed up his glasses, indicating that he didn't understand the operation at all.

Ye Xing chuckled and gave a casual, noncommittal answer.

"Of course, it's to make a... memorable impression! Do something special so people will remember you!"

Xu Si could tell that Ye Xing didn't want to tell the truth, so he didn't ask any more questions and just shrugged.

"Alright, it's quite profound indeed. I guess this is the most famous Luotian Grand Ritual ever held at Longhu Mountain."

Ye Xing turned his head, pretending to admire the scenery, but his mind was actually on the system panel:

[Host: Ye Xing]

[Cultivation Level: Two years and eight months]

[Spell: (120 years)]

The Sheep Charm (allows the soul to leave the body and move freely, and can also enter other people's dreams and transmit messages.)

Ox Talisman (grants the holder absolute superhuman strength; the power boost affects the entire body.)

Dragon Charm (The holder can use high-intensity fire blasts and flame jets)

The Dog Charm (possesses powerful internal healing abilities, which can enhance and activate the body's cells' self-repair and division capabilities, thereby increasing vitality).

Rabbit Talisman (Power of Speed: Grants the holder supersonic movement and extreme reflexes, near-teleportation; can be applied to people or objects)

Chicken Talisman (The holder can levitate and mentally control others/objects to float and move; the weight and duration of the control depend on the user's mental strength)

[Emotional Value: 4180/10000]

Ye Xing knew exactly what was going on. Did they really think he was just being silly? If it weren't for those emotional points, he wouldn't bother with all this scheming.

The audience already knew his current strength.

If he had simply followed the script and acted convincingly, no matter how realistic his performance was, everyone would have known that he deliberately lost to Zhang Chulan, and his emotional response would likely have been minimal.

If he were to go on stage and admit defeat directly, the audience would be dissatisfied, but it would only be a momentary shock. The emotional fluctuation would be too short and too calm, and the emotional impact would not be too great.

But if we were to repeat Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao's outrageously shameless performance from this morning...

Having already suffered a setback in the morning, the audience was already on the verge of exploding.

Then, in front of everyone, openly and brazenly feed them a second bite...

The scene was so beautiful that even just imagining it made Ye Xing feel like a ton of system critical hit notifications were beckoning him.

This is a perfect scheme to fleece investors!

It was afternoon.

The atmosphere in the training ground had reached a fever pitch.

With less than ten minutes to go before the start of the finals, the discussions in the stands were already in full swing.

"Have you heard? The old Celestial Master moved the time forward, just to get rid of that shameless bastard as soon as possible!"

"Damn, this kid's got real luck, actually made it to the finals. But he's finished this afternoon! Master Ye could easily handle even Master Lingyu, so dealing with him will be a piece of cake!"

......

Not far away, a few irritable men had even unfurled a banner made of bed sheets.

The words written on it were crooked and uneven: "Act on behalf of Heaven, beat Bi Lian to death."

The entrance to the underground passage of the stadium.

Zhang Chulan stood against the wall, listening to the deafening shouts and curses outside, covering his head, unwilling to face it.

He swallowed hard, turned to look at Ye Xing who was leisurely stretching beside him, his voice trembling.

"Brother... listen to what's going on outside. This isn't watching a game, it's sending me to the guillotine! Is it too late for me to back out now?"

"The final of the Luo Tian Grand Tournament: Zhang Chulan versus Ye Xing. Please enter the arena."

Ye Xing grinned, "It's too late, let's go! Remember to act well."

As the two entered the arena one after the other, a deafening roar of angry shouts erupted.

"Down with Bi Lian! Throw this shameless person out!"

"Beat him to a pulp! Make him suffer terribly!"

......

Along with the cursing, there were even people throwing things, but fortunately, there were people on Longhu Mountain maintaining order and stopping them.

With a smile on his face, Ye Xing walked into the venue with unhurried steps.

The atmosphere on stage suddenly changed; those strange people who were just cursing were now excitedly waving their fists.

"Master Ye! Keep it up! Clean up the house for our world of supernatural beings!"

"Yes! Use your so-called Great Luo Magic Spell to blast him to smithereens!"

......

Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Ye Xing smiled and nodded toward the stands.

The two walked to the center of the field and stood facing each other.

The referee, Rong Shan, standing to the side, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Rong Shan snorted coldly, raised his right hand high, and his voice was filled with powerful true qi, suppressing the noise of the entire scene.

"The final of the Luo Tian Grand Tournament! Zhang Chulan versus Ye Xing!"

"The match begins!"

The two men assumed their stances, and the audience in the stands felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this scene, which made their scalps tingle.

'Audience confusion detected, emotion value +30, +20, +30...'

The next second, the two moved.

Chapter 48 Ultimate Showdown

Ye Xing and Zhang Chulan rushed towards each other, but their speed was very slow, and every frame of their movements could be seen clearly.
