Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

"Is this... absolutely necessary?"

"If you don't go, how will you face those who have expectations of you?"

Luca is now stuck in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat. Is this even playable? They've completely overturned the game; how can they fight if they can't be selected?

......

"This...you taught this too? This fighting style is truly insidious and ruthless."

"But that poison was something you tacitly approved. If you didn't allow it, she couldn't take the Feather Emperor's body away."

"Where were you then?" Jing Yuan asked instinctively, startled.

"In Xiudongtian, he taught Yanqing how to shift the blame onto Feixiao."

Jing Yuan's pupils contracted. "You're going to teach this?"

Hua Wu countered, "Could it be that you intend to pay for Yan Qing's medical expenses? Well, the alliance did give you quite a bit, didn't they?"

"Hiss, that's quite a lot, but after appeasing the crowds and tourists, we're back to being penniless and strapped for cash."

Hua Wu looked incredulous. "You've gotten a good deal and you're still acting innocent? You're so poor you have nowhere to stand... Shence Prefecture is so big, how could you be so poor you have nowhere to stand?"

Jing Yuan casually glanced at the white clouds in the sky, "The reason why Shence Mansion is Shence Mansion is because I am Shence General. If I were not Shence General, then it would no longer be Shence Mansion. In other words, it belongs to the General, not to me."

That was a clever trick of subverting the concept, leaving Hua Wu completely bewildered.

"Although according to the information I found, the Shence Mansion does indeed belong to a general. However, I haven't found a general who can officially retire. It seems... all the Immortal Boat generals died in battle or went missing. When you return alive, the Shence Mansion can be considered your personal property. This is a well-known unspoken rule."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan roughly understood how Hua Wu had shifted the blame onto Fei Xiao.

But what puzzled him even more was how the Great Lord of Annihilation had become the Great Lord of Law? That didn't make sense, did it? And what kind of changes had been made to the vanguard generals of the legion?

"This... Miss Xi is truly well-versed in the law and knowledgeable in legal principles..."

"I'm just pointing out shortcomings. My main concern is not wanting you to gain the upper hand. You can continue arguing about your penniless argument."

Jing Yuan was speechless. A joke could be blown out of proportion. But he admired Hua Wu even more. He was quite a character to be able to adjust the Great Lord of Annihilation like that.

......

Yanqing left the Jingfeng warship and went shopping alone at Changletian.

"After the ceremony, my second master will have to leave again... Since my second master gave me a gift, I should return the favor."

Yanqing looked at the account balance on her phone and sighed, "If it's not enough, we'll just have to put it in the general's account."

He'd look at something on the train and buy it, regardless of whether he'd need it or not. There were plenty of people on the train, so someone was bound to like it.

A box of snacks cost 55,000 credits.

Two flying swords cost 78,000 credits.

Nine voice-to-text sketching pens cost 180,000 credits.

Three cans of high-carbon protein powder cost 45,000 credits.

A pair of adaptive gravity barbells cost 200,000 credits. (Used via Jingyuan's friend/family card.)

"That should be about right, right? What else can I buy? My second master doesn't need anything... I don't know what to give him... I have absolutely no connection with my second master's wife..."

"Wait, Second Master's Wife...she's got it!"

A brilliant idea flashed in Yanqing's mind, and with a wave of her hand, she began another exhilarating bookkeeping session.

Two limited edition General Jifeng figurines were purchased for 480,000 credits. (Used via Jingyuan's friend/family card.)

Two 1:1 scale models of General Jifeng, the villain-slaying hero, cost 500,000 credits. (Used by using Jingyuan's friend/family card.)

A pair of 1:1 scale models of the Monsoon General's Hurricane Sword cost 500,000 credits. (Used by using Jingyuan's friend/family card.)

A videotape of General Monsoon's extermination of evil was seized; a fine of 800,000 credits was imposed. (Added to account balance.)

A first-anniversary commemorative photo album of General Jifeng cost 800,000 credits.

One limited edition videotape of "General Monsoon's Second Anniversary: ​​Water Melody Song" cost 888,000 credits. (Paid using Jingyuan's friend/family card.)

"This is a bit too much... It's alright, Second Master said he and the General made a sum of money from the alliance. The General shouldn't have gotten nothing at all, right?"

After putting everything into an ice box, Yanqing lifted the box with one hand and flew towards the Shence Mansion on her flying sword.

Meanwhile, Jing Yuan sensed something was amiss. He looked at Hua Wu beside him and then at the pendant on his body.

This person is definitely busy, so who has been sending him messages?

"Who's thinking of me at this time? It can't be Fu Qing, can it?"

He unlocked the phone with a smile, only to find a bunch of inexplicable text messages about charges.

"Losing means you're going to go on a spending spree? Yanqing...it seems I need to reshape your views on money. Let him be happy for a while longer."

Jing Yuan chose to endure it for now and settle accounts later.

He wanted to see how much more Yanqing could manage.

Once the ring's off-season is over, it will be time for Luca to challenge Star.

With a death wish, Luca stepped into the ring. "Um, I... I'll do everything in my power to defeat you!"

He has no confidence at all; how can he play if he can't select the target?

Xing drew his longsword from the spatial rift. "Defeat me? Even my senior brother was defeated by me, you won't win either. Of course, I can give you a chance to find someone you know to fight for you."

After saying this, Xing fixed his gaze on Qiong in the audience.

Qiong felt the spotlight on her. "Why are you looking at me? Using a substitute player is against the rules. I'm not playing."

Xing withdrew her gaze and looked at Luca again. "So? Have you thought it through? Are you going to face me alone, or are you going to call your coach over?"

“I choose... to face it alone. Even if I can’t win, it’s enough.” Luca charged toward Star and threw a powerful punch.

"Duang————"

Xing Ti took the punch head-on without moving an inch, while Luca felt as if he had struck iron and stone, the force of the recoil causing him to stagger back more than ten steps.

"I was demonstrating the mechanics and gameplay by attacking my senior brother earlier; now I'm demonstrating the stats and strength by attacking you."

"I surrender."

star:?

Luca tried his best, having already unleashed a full-force attack, but his opponent hadn't moved an inch. If the fight continued, he could only last for half a minute at most.

Rather than being sent off the stage lying down in half a minute, he'd rather save face now; he doesn't want to suffer a lumbar disc injury.

Xing looked at Luca, "Why did you surrender?"

Luca faced his cowardice honestly; he didn't have to win, second place was fine too.

“I don’t need to make myself unhappy. I know my own level. That was my all-out attack just now, but you didn’t budge an inch... So, I surrender.”

"Since we're going to disappoint everyone anyway, we might as well surrender and save face."

Chapter 412 Star: Senior Uncle is too stingy. He gave away 30% of the new broken sword. Who can be stingier than you?

"Demon King, I've lost. I surrender."

Qiong: ......

"What's the meaning of your first half of the move? What's with the 'shoot and then surrender' thing?"

"Because this is the first punch, and also the last punch I can land. I've forced out my strongest power, but... Demon King, you saw it too, there was no damage at all, your sister didn't even move an inch."

“So, I know very well that this is the dignity your sister is giving me. I choose to accept her kindness and frankly surrender,” Luca said, and then began packing his things.

What are you doing?

"I'm getting ready to go back to Belleburg. Although I wasn't the first one, at least I was here."

"Huh? You won't have any regrets? How about we try a revival match?"

"I have no regrets. At least, I brought the names Belloberg and Ariello to Luofu. If there is any regret... it's probably that I didn't meet you sooner."

"You who brought hope to this desolate planet of Yalilo are the true heroes. I was just a boxer; if you had arrived a few days later, I probably wouldn't have even made it out of the lower levels..."

Luca looked at Qiong, scratched his head with an awkward laugh, and said, "So, Demon King, I have no regrets. Thank you for your guidance and treatment these past few days."

"I wonder what kind of expressions Natasha and Master Oleg would have if they saw my right hand? I really look forward to seeing their expressions of astonishment."

Luca packed his things, slung them on his back, and waved goodbye to Qiong.

Goodbye, we should meet again.

"Okay, goodbye. I hope you can control your strength next time you box." Qiong looked at the things in the lounge, didn't need anything, and left the lounge empty-handed.

Below the ring —

Xing looked at the box, which resembled the blade in almost the same way, and opened it with great anticipation.

What came into view was a sword that looked like it had a story to tell. "This is the grand prize for the champion? Why is it a broken sword that's only 30% new? It doesn't even have a point! You could trade this for a basin. My senior uncle is so stingy."

Xing looked at the sword and felt there was something wrong with it; it just didn't look right to him. "Could this be the sword that my master has been using since he was a child? It's so broken, yet he still can't bear to throw it away."

Jing Yuan stood to the side, saying nothing, and a strange sense of embarrassment appeared on Huai Yan's face.

Xing picked up the sword and shook it a couple of times. "It feels good, but it's a bit broken."

As soon as Xing finished speaking, he felt the broken sword in his hand tremble. "Huh? Is it electric? Why is it shaking? Remove the battery..."

Xing was in a daze for a moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in her blue pupils.

"This sword... it can levitate?" She slowly released the sword, which did not fall to the ground but slowly rose up.

The sword floated in the air and spoke in human language, "A prodigy... Unfortunately, I am tired of fighting. I no longer wish to be a weapon."

Xing took a half step back and bumped into Hua Wu behind him.

"Um... is this thing alive?"

"It's alive, it's a demonic sword. It was forged using the essence of the sun. What are you afraid of? Stand still. This isn't Jing Yuan's sword, it's a sword given to you by Huai Yan."

Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "No wonder, indeed, a sword reflects its master..."

Xing suddenly realized that there seemed to be a problem with what she had just said. "Uh, that doesn't seem right. It should be 'General Huaiyan is like a sword, a precious blade...' No, that's not right either, it's a broken sword...uh..."

"That's not important. My current situation is indeed somewhat similar to that of this sword; we're old and frail, practically useless wood." Huai Yan was speechless. Luckily, he had the foresight to send Yun Li away beforehand. Otherwise, these few words would have caused another problem.
