The two ladies stepped onto the stage.“Damn, two vicious ladies. I wonder who’s going to win?” Benjamin said, watching with interest.“Sui Mo, of course. Who else?” Heng Mei replied matter-of-factly. Samuel silently agreed.“Come on, is it because she’s from your country? That’s understandable. Everyone wants one of their own to win.” Benjamin nodded as he spoke.“He’s right, Benjamin. Sui Mo is going to win,” Samuel said calmly.Benjamin nodded and did not argue again. Samuel’s words were always more reliable.The fight began. Rubi immediately seized the upper hand, pressing forward with fierce, relentless attacks. Sui Mo, however, did not seem to care. She retreated steadily, defending with clean precision, her movements calm, controlled, and deliberate.“Is it just me, or does it feel like Sui Mo is planning something deeper?” Amelia frowned.“She’s waiting,” Samuel said. “Waiting for Rubi to expose her flaws while quietly controlling the pace. She’s defending while forcing Rubi t

He turned to meet a blushing Sui Mo. He felt embarrassed to tell her no, so he simply nodded.She quickly began filling his plate. Perhaps Amelia’s suggestion was working. She could feel Heng Mei’s tense body gradually relax.“Thank you,” he said with a genuine smile.*****Four days later, the competition was nearing its end. Over those days, many from the thirty had been eliminated, and only a few among the original thousand competitors remained.Now it was time for the final. Only twelve people were left. The final was a rank battle, the stage where actual rankings would be assigned. The top ten would be chosen and rewarded.After that, they would be sent to the treasure ground, which held the main benefits.These were the twelve remaining contestants: Heng Mei, Carson, Dmitry, Bruce, Sui Mo, Amber, Amelia, Susan, the lady who had covered herself with a veil, Kelvin, and the black-clad youth. Those two would have been the ultimate dark horses if Samuel did not exist. Among these un

Samuel moved immediately, giving him no chance to react. Carson stopped talking at once and raised his defenses, but it was useless.Samuel threw a punch. It was calm and unflashy, completely devoid of any qi. Carson hastily erected multiple layers of Mana barriers, yet they might as well not have existed.Samuel’s fist tore through the barriers with ease and slammed into Carson’s chest. His chest caved in instantly as blood spurted from his mouth, and his body was sent flying into the air.Just as everyone thought his body was about to fly out of the arena, Samuel moved again. He appeared before him in an instant and, with a ruthless kick to the back, sent him crashing back toward the center of the arena.The entire audience went haywire. What was happening? This was not what they had expected to see. They had all prepared themselves for a brutal, drawn-out fight where both sides would clash with everything they had until Samuel, tired and battered, finally gave up.Not just the cont

Samuel was secretly possessive and hated the idea of sharing. The thought of enjoying her tonight, since she had willingly offered herself, and then returning to normal tomorrow sounded appealing in theory.But that was how most people thought. If Samuel ever gave in, it would mean he had already accepted her. He would never allow another man to touch her. Even so, the temptation was very real.It was tempting because Amelia looked so seductive and beautiful. Her soft breath against his skin ignited a fire inside him that was difficult to quench, stirring a powerful urge to taste the forbidden fruit.To be frank, in both lives he had never been easily overstimulated by the opposite sex. In his past life, he had been a martial arts maniac. Unlike now, his status back then was different, so no ordinary woman could approach him, let alone attempt to seduce him.Even with his girlfriend, they never had that kind of relationship, as their marriage had been arranged. He died at twenty befor

Carson studied the man carefully and, seeing that he was not angry, continued, “How can you claim to help me when you do not even know my problem?” “I do not need to know your problem. I can feel the hatred and the yearning for revenge in your heart. I can sense it from a distance, and that is what brought me to you. “I am the monarch of hatred, and my cultivation is rooted entirely in hatred. I have traveled this world and done many things without ever leaving my name behind. I have killed grand elders and ancestors, all because of one thing, an ancient cultivation I obtained when I was young...” He paused, watching Carson closely to see whether his words were reaching him. When Carson heard about defeating grand elders and ancestors, his eyes lit up with immediate hope. Such a cultivation art, if he possessed it, would make him invincible. “Over the years, I have grown so powerful that it has lost all meaning to me. I decided to leave this part of the world and go somewhere e
