Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

He walked slowly into the lounge, each step feeling like he was stepping on the hearts of the gods. His eyes swept over the gods, a faint smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"...You all seem very nervous?"

His voice was as gentle as jade, more carefree and calm than the one in the light curtain. But to the gods, his voice was no louder than a thunderclap.

The only answer he got was dead silence.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally someone couldn’t hold it anymore and took the lead in breaking the depressing atmosphere.

“…Jing, Jing Yuan, why are you here?”

Shiva's words were barely fluent, his arms frozen in mid-air, the third eye on his forehead twitching wildly. Although he didn't see the deity appear behind Jing Yuan, that calm and composed aura... Him! That was Him!

If Jing Yuan appeared in the light curtain and was about to start a battle, it would undoubtedly be a surprising visual feast for the gods. However, if he himself appeared in the VIP lounge of the arena, it would not be a surprise, but a shock.

Ares, who was closest to Jing Yuan, no longer cared about his appearance at this moment. His burly and strong body flashed back like a frightened cat, and he nimbly hid behind the old man Zeus, only quietly revealing his head, nervously observing the situation in front of him.

No god dared to speak again. In this suffocating atmosphere, only Hades, the god of the underworld, struggled to move backward, trying to maintain a relatively safe distance from Jing Yuan. Everyone had seen his skills; it wouldn't be difficult to decapitate him with that array blade in an instant. Before fully attacking, he always had to buy himself a little reaction time.

"Jing Yuan... This is not the place to fight."

Susanoo, trying hard to stay calm, took a deep breath. Although he also tried to keep a quiet distance from Jingyuan, his body seemed to be nailed firmly to the spot. Not to mention moving, he couldn't even move a finger.

"If we want to fight, let's go to the arena—"

"Loki." Zeus's hoarse voice echoed in the room, interrupting Susanoo's speech. Almost at the same time, the smile on Jing Yuan's face instantly disappeared. "Stop pretending to be a general. This joke is not funny."

"Tsk, what a spoilsport old man."

"Jing Yuan" curled his lips and turned into a wisp of black smoke in full view of everyone. Then a young man with green hair, about twenty years old, walked out of the smoke.

Loki raised his head and looked around at the gods, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Aren't you all looking forward to General Jing Yuan's appearance? Why are you unhappy when the 'Jing Yuan' you've been thinking about so much is finally here?"

"I...!" Shiva wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he also realized that no explanation would be effective given his body's instinctive fear reaction.

Afraid, just afraid.

Shiva, one of the three main gods in India, instantly felt a sense of shame and humiliation filling his heart.

"It seems you're truly afraid of the Envoy. If you truly fear them, how about you, the 'Gods', go on a Faith Hunt? Perhaps they'll look upon you with a different eye, considering you've brought your own followers with you."

"When we arrived at the Shen Ce Mansion, Huo Huo told us about the strange things that happened in Sui Garden and Fu Yan's request."

After hearing this, Jing Yuan also felt a little amused. "I thought the anecdotes about the previous general's battle with the monster were just a random story. I didn't expect the real culprit to come seeking revenge, but it seems unfair to find me."

"It's time to use your surprise weapon!"

Jing Yuan chuckled and looked at Xing with a playful expression: "It seems that Xing is determined to make me return the favor."

"General Teng Xiao is a senior whom Jing Yuan respects. He will not sit idly by and watch. Since the other party specifically wants to see him, we might as well go and meet him."

"When they arrived at Fuyan's place, it immediately became wary and quickly inquired about Jingyuan's identity."

Jing Yuan didn't hide his feelings: "Sui Yang, aren't you eager to resume your battle with the general? I've come here at your invitation."

“…Are you the current general?”

"Hearing this, Fuyan's eyes widened. She carefully looked Jingyuan up and down, snorting in dissatisfaction, "Why do you look like you just woke up? You look so weak. Where's Tengxiao? Why did he choose such a guy to take over? However, it's unrealistic to have the Xianzhou people hold a martial arts competition to select a new general..."

"Then, General Jing Yuan, how about we have a showdown here in Suiyuan?! If I win, I'll be free to come and go—"

Jing Yuan shook his head: "I only said I came here at your invitation, but I never agreed to fight you."

This unexpected response left Fuyan completely bewildered. It froze for a moment before coming to its senses. "...What? You won't fight? You won't fight?!"

"Don't get me wrong, I did come here for the battle that year, but... you're not worthy yet."

"Jing Yuan's answer was lighthearted, but it felt like a knife stabbing Fu Yan's heart. He was so angry that his back teeth were about to break, and even the ghost fire behind him began to swell."

"...It seems its defense has been breached."

""What did you say!!""

-

One Piece.

"Pfft!" Nami couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, this little ghost was totally underestimated."

"It's more than just underestimation..." Robin took a sip of black tea elegantly and shook his head slightly. "A thousand years of obsession, and yet the other party isn't even interested in taking it seriously. How pitiful."

"If it knew that General Jing Yuan and Dan Heng were the main forces in the battle of Huanlong, I wonder what expression it would have?"

"Expression? What other expression could there be? I'm afraid he'll fly out of the Hades' body and fight tooth and nail to take over Jing Yuan's body, right?"

Sanji blew out a puff of smoke, looking thoughtful. "Although the probability of success is probably small, if it succeeds, there's no need to go to all that trouble to challenge the general... He himself is the general, and his record far exceeds that of his predecessor Liaoyuan."

Chapter 243: A Dream in the Garden (XII)

"Teng Xiao, as the Luofu General, commands the Cloud Cavalry; Er Liao, the head of the Sui Yang, commands the demons. The two are like the sky covering the earth, with yin and yang intertwined. A dragon battle between the two is perfectly reasonable and in accordance with the rules."

"And now, I am the general of the Immortal Boat, and you are no longer Liao Yuan, but a mere prisoner. If you wish to engage me in battle, you must follow my rules, defeat my army, and reach the central camp. Only then will I grant you this opportunity."

"Jing Yuan's few words turned the tide, his boldness so strong that even Fu Yan couldn't find any reason to refute him. He had no choice but to agree, and the opponents he needed to defeat were none other than Xing, Huo Huo, and the other four."

"Hey? Us? No problem... huh?" Huo Huo said weakly, her answer clearly lacking confidence.

"Xing sighed. He had originally planned to send the general out as a surprise attack, but after all the twists and turns, he ended up being the surprise attack..."

-

Cut the red eyes.

Empire, in the Hunter Corps meeting room.

"Wow..." Will's eyes widened, his fists clenching involuntarily. "General Jing Yuan is amazing! Not only is he powerful, but he's also very good at talking. With just a few words, he silenced Fu Yan!"

"Will, you've got the word 'admiration' written all over your face." Hei Tong bit his biscuit and glanced at Will helplessly. Ever since General Jing Yuan first appeared, he had become the role model Will had always dreamed of... Whenever the general appeared, Will's eyes were locked on Jing Yuan as if on auto-target.

This level of obsession...will delay training.

"Will, you can learn his fighting style and not just rush into the enemy camp blindly. Even someone as strong as Jing Yuan needs to cooperate with his teammates when fighting Huanlong."

"Oh... okay."

Will scratched his head sheepishly. "But besides fighting, I also want to learn General Jing Yuan's communication skills... For some reason, the general's words seem to have some kind of magic that makes people believe him. Does this have anything to do with reading? I didn't read much when I was a kid..."

Lan smiled slightly and said gently, "Speaking skills can be learned. When I was a teacher in the countryside, I taught many students like you."

Will's eyes lit up: "Really? Mr. Lan is willing to teach me?"

Lan smiled and nodded. "Of course. First, you have to learn to control your tone. General Jing Yuan is so convincing not only because of his strength, but also because of the calmness and confidence when he speaks."

Will nodded seriously, imitating Jing Yuan's behavior, straightening his back and lowering his voice: "'You must defeat my army and kill them in front of the central army camp, and then I will give you this opportunity' - is that right?"

Hei Tong laughed out loud and almost choked on the warm tea in the cup: "Idiot, you are being too deliberate."

Lan couldn't help laughing. "You can speak more naturally. The key is to let the other person feel your confidence, not to deliberately put on airs. But, Will, it's good that you have this idea. We will be fighting Night Raid soon. Let's continue the next lesson after the battle is over, okay?"

"Fuyan looked down on the men before him, but the general chuckled confidently, "If you win, I'll rekindle our duel. If you lose, you must answer one question—no lies, no quibbling. Deal?"

"Fuyan agreed immediately and eagerly began the first battle. However, having lost most of the Suiyang fragments, it was very weak and was easily defeated by Xingliang's stick."

"According to the agreement, it needs to answer Huo Huo a question first. After informing him of Bai Lu's disappearance on Luofu Zazu, Fu Yan truthfully told him that it was done by Sui Yang A Zhuo, a playful man who only loves to have fun and be free."

"Bai Lu is also a child who longs for freedom. Sui Yang, who loves freedom, possesses Bai Lu, who also loves freedom... so everything makes sense."

"Having received crucial intelligence, Xing planned to depart for Golden Man Alley. However, before leaving, she had one remaining question. So, she sought out the general to understand why Fuyan and the others were so determined to duel with him."

"From blazing fire to raging flames to floating smoke...it seems as if every Sui Yang has a great obsession."

"The general explained, 'According to ancient myths, the Immortal Boat was once faced with a powerful invasion, threatening the entire clan's annihilation. To avert this danger, a mortal, determined to avert the crisis, made a pact with Suihuang, the ancestor of the Sun, to possess his body."

"The Emperor lends his strength to fight, but if mortals manage to return victorious, they will lose their bodies forever."

"After the great battle, none of the heroes survived, and the Emperor Sui was severely wounded. The deal fell through, and the people gradually forgot the story. But Sui Yang still remembers it. They will demand repayment for this debt, forever."

-

One Punch Man.

In an apartment in City Z.

Genos stood by the window, his golden mechanical eyes flickering slightly. "Teacher, the Xianzhou people not only broke the agreement, but also imprisoned Suiyang's ancestors in Zhuming Xianzhou. Teacher, do you think... their actions are reasonable?"

"That makes sense." Saitama said without looking up, his finger pausing on the supermarket advertisement for half-price beef.

"Creatures like Suiyang are immortal and seem to be classified by the people of Xianzhou as monsters from Fengrao. Such monsters must be controlled, regardless of whether there is an agreement or not."

"But Emperor Sui only made an agreement with humans, right?" Genos' tone was unusually heavy.

"Oh, that...it was indeed quite tragic." Saitama finally raised his head and scratched his smooth head. "Do you know what exactly happened to the Immortal Boat thousands of years ago?"

"I'm sorry, teacher, I don't know."

"So? No one knows what happened during that period of history. I don't believe the Xianzhou people would have imprisoned the Suihuang if it posed no threat at all. This is like a dragon-level monster appearing in the city. Even if it didn't kill a single human, the association would still eliminate it."

"...This is a threat, Genos. It has nothing to do with whether we've made an agreement or not. If we don't imprison it, if the Emperor Sui regains his strength one day... and suddenly attacks, the Immortal Boat will be in danger. Anyway, regardless of the probability of this happening, the General must definitely consider this possibility."

"I see." Genos' eyes lit up, and a look of admiration appeared on his face. "As expected of a teacher, you always see things clearly."

Chapter 244: A Dream in the Garden (Thirteen)

"Xing and the others arrived at Jinren Lane. After much searching, they finally found Bailu and the others in a secluded corner."

Huo Huo rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't dazzled, and tugged at Xing's sleeve: "Why are there two... two Bai Lu masters..."

"Su Chang looked in the direction of the sound and saw two identical Bai Lu chatting there. She was so frightened that her eyes went dark and she immediately let out a high-pitched voice that seemed to destroy the world: "—Ghost! Aa ...

"Sister, you scared me to death... These two identical Bai Lu didn't scare me, but your howl almost killed me..." Gui Naifen covered her ears and gave Shang Shang a resentful look.

"Su Shang apologized repeatedly and embarrassedly, but after all this commotion, Bai Lu and Sui Yang disappeared again. Everyone searched the area for a long time before finally relocating them in front of a dilapidated house."

"Using Huo Huo's bell, they pushed open the door and entered directly into the illusion created by Sui Yang. Not far away, two Bai Lu were happily playing."

Su Shang put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey! Sui Yang over there, quickly release Master Bai Lu!"

"You troublemaker! We were just having fun here! Ah Lu doesn't want to go home with you!" Ah Zhuo quickly blocked Bai Lu behind him, saying that if Bai Lu wanted, he would conjure up an endless supply of Qiongshi Bird Skewers and Xingyu Bobo, and the two of them could play forever."

"There's only one condition—that is, we can't be caught by Xing and the others."

"With that, the two Bailu took off running. In this illusion, their short legs twitched like sewing machine needles, so fast that only their afterimages could be seen."

"Xing felt like she was about to run out of breath, but she couldn't even touch the edge of her clothes."

"Only her voice drifted over from the front on the wind: 'Why should I live like adults? Adults always say, 'Don't play now, wait until you grow up to play.' But I see those adults at Dandingsi don't have time to play either!'"

-

Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

"Wow—" Thor opened his eyes wide, and his tail shook unconsciously, "Lofu Dragon Lord has great physical strength. He can run faster than Kanna!"

"No way!" Kanna puffed up her chubby cheeks and snorted in dissatisfaction. "If Kanna is fully charged, she will definitely run faster than Bai Lu! If Master Thor doesn't believe me, I'm going right now!"

"Alright, alright, stop messing around." Thor rubbed Kanna's head with a smile. "Xiao Lin, who do you think runs faster, Kanna or Bai Lu? Um... Xiao Lin?"

Thor didn't hear the expected familiar reply, so he turned around and saw Xiaolin staring blankly at the sky with a dim look in his eyes.

"Xiaolin?" Thor tilted his head and moved closer to her. "What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Lin was silent for a long moment, a tired smile playing on his lips. "Just now, Bai Lu said... Don't be too playful now, and wait until you grow up to play... Adults said the same thing when I was a kid, and it just resonates a little bit now."

After saying that, she grabbed the beer on the table, tilted her head back and gulped it down.

Kanna raised her little face and asked curiously, "Xiao Lin, is it true that we can no longer play after we grow up?"

"Ah...it's not that we can't play, it's just..."

A drunken blush began to appear on Xiaolin's face, and he slammed the table with increasing force. "Every day I have to deal with a jerk boss and endless code to write! Sometimes I have to work overtime until 11 o'clock at night! The subway is closed by then! You jerk boss, pay me overtime properly! I have a hangover on Saturday night and still have to renovate on Sunday morning! And there's still the car loan and mortgage that I can't pay off! How can I do it? Ahhhhhh!"

Finally, banging the table was no longer enough to vent his anger, so Xiaolin simply shouted at the sky:

"Bai Lu! You're going to be a social slave when you grow up! That place is hell! You have to have fun while you're still little! Don't get caught!"

““By the Emperor’s grace… this guy is running too fast…”

Su Shang was so exhausted she could barely straighten her back. She panted and suggested, "Let's...let's have a war plan meeting. I don't think relentless pursuit is the right approach. We need to use our brains..."
