The notification sound struck Fang Zhe’s heart like lightning. He froze. Then slowly lowered his head to look at the system panel. — Host Status: Fang Zhe Occupation: Personal Bodyguard System Points: 0 Charisma: Level 1 — Young Master Handsome Aura of Shange City — “What?” His face stiffened instantly. “WHAT?!” He immediately jumped up from the bed. “System! Did you steal my points?!” DIIIIIING! ‘The host voluntarily upgraded Charisma.’ “Voluntarily my ass!” he snapped. “I JUST TOUCHED IT!” DIIIIIING! ‘Touch confirmation has been considered as consent.’ The veins on his temple throbbed. “One hundred and fifty points… That was the result of my hard work this afternoon!” ‘Investment in appearance has long-term benefits.’ “Long-term benefits? I’m a bodyguard, not a contestant in some handsome face competition!” The panel remained blue. Cold. Without guilt. Fang Zhe paced back and forth in the small room. “Level 1 Charisma… Young master handsome aura… What is this even for?! To charm mosquitoes in the garden?!” DIIIIIING! ‘Side effects: increases attractiveness, authority, and positive social responses.’ “Positive social responses?! I need points, not applause!” He pulled at his own hair. “This system is truly a top-tier scam…” DIIIIIING! ‘The system appreciates expressive hosts.’ “Shut up! Don’t respond again!” The room fell silent again. Fang Zhe finally chose to sit on the edge of the bed. His chest rose and fell. All his points were gone. No increase in reflexes. No increase in endurance. Observation technique not purchased. Medical still costs five hundred points. The only thing that improved… was his face. He looked at the small mirror on the wall. Then paused. A few seconds passed. “Huh?” His eyebrows slowly raised. His jaw looked sharper. His gaze more intense. His skin clearer. Even the line of his shoulders appeared more proportional. A faint aura somehow made him feel… different. “Is this… me?” He stepped closer. “This doesn’t make sense…” But the next second, his expression hardened again. “No matter how handsome I am, my points are still zero!” He threw himself back onto the bed. “I have to work tomorrow… and I don’t even have any upgrades.” He closed his eyes. A few seconds later, his voice sounded low. “System…” No response. “If you try to scam me again, I’ll destroy all your missions.” Only silence answered him. Fang Zhe let out a long breath. Today had been far too long. Shange City. Erina. The Medicine Pavilion. A mysterious system. Lost points. Strange charisma. Even offending the young master under Lord Ryan. His life had truly changed. Within minutes, his breathing became steady. And for the first time since returning to this city… He finally fell asleep. — Morning. Sunlight pierced through the curtains. Fang Zhe slowly opened his eyes. For a few seconds, he stared at the ceiling. Then remembered everything. “Not a dream.” He got up and walked to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he put on the work clothes neatly prepared in the wardrobe. A well-fitted black suit. A clean white shirt. A thin blazer tailored for elite bodyguards. Polished black leather shoes. As he buttoned his suit… He looked at the mirror again. And froze. That aura was now more obvious. His posture was straight. His gaze deep. His jaw sharp. Even his expression unconsciously exuded calm authority. No longer the poor young man sitting at a bus stop yesterday. But a young man with the aura of a noble young master. “This is the effect of Charisma…” he muttered. He took a breath. “Well… at least it’s not completely useless.” Tok. Tok. A knock sounded on the door. “Guard Fang, Miss requests your presence in the dining room.” “Understood.” Fang Zhe opened the door and walked down the hallway. His steps were steady. His shoulders firm. His gaze straight ahead. Several servants he passed unconsciously paused. They exchanged glances. “Why… does Guard Fang’s aura feel different today?” “He looks like… a young master from a great family.” Fang Zhe didn’t notice their stares. He entered the dining room. And there, Erina was already seated at the main chair. She wore a soft cream-colored formal outfit, her long hair neatly flowing. In front of her was a simple yet elegant breakfast. When the door opened, Erina lifted her head. Her gaze froze instantly. For a split second, her eyes truly stopped. Fang Zhe stood upright at the doorway. Morning light from the large window cast his silhouette. His jawline sharp. His gaze calm yet deep. The subtle authority that was barely there yesterday now felt real. Not just handsome. But refined. Erina even forgot to lower her teacup. Her heartbeat unconsciously skipped. “Fang Zhe?” Her voice was slightly softer than usual. Fang Zhe walked forward and stopped one step behind her chair. “Good morning, Miss.” His tone was steady. Low. Controlled. Erina blinked once. Something was different. Not just his face. But his charisma—his presence—was truly different from when they first met. A quiet yet powerful confidence. She straightened her back again, trying to regain her professional expression. “You… look different today.” Fang Zhe slightly raised his eyebrow. “Different?” Erina paused for two seconds before replying. “That suit suits you better.” Fang Zhe let out a long breath internally. “Thank you, Miss.” But before the atmosphere turned awkward— DIIIIIING! A notification sound suddenly echoed inside his head. Fang Zhe’s heart nearly jumped out. A blue transparent panel appeared at the corner of his vision. — NEW MISSION DETECTED! Category: Medium Mission Target: Increase CEO Erina’s affection until initial emotional interest appears Time Limit: 30 days Failure: Host loses 200 points in the next mission Reward: +500 system points — Fang Zhe’s gaze froze again. His eyes remained straight ahead, but inside— “WHAT?!” He almost choked on his own breath. “Increase… what?!” His hands, which had been calm behind his back, nearly clenched. “System, have you gone insane?!” DIIIIIING! ‘Mission aligns with strategic relationship development.’ “Strategic relationship my ass!” He forced his expression to remain unchanged in front of Erina. Make the CEO like him? He was a bodyguard. Not some cheap romance drama actor! And moreover… the person in front of him was Erina. CEO of the Medicine Pavilion. Intelligent, cold, and clearly not someone easily charmed. “Five hundred points…” he recalled, making his heart pound. 500 points meant he could buy Basic Medical Proficiency. “But this is social suicide!” he screamed internally. Erina was still looking at him. “You seem… a little tense.” Fang Zhe snapped out of his thoughts. “I’m fine, Miss.”

General Fu Shi's deep, authoritative voice still echoed in the air, bouncing off the cracked walls of the Main Altar stage. The headless corpse of the Zhuge Patriarch and the dying body of Zhuge Yan in the corner of the arena stood as the most vivid proof that anyone harboring malicious intent would end up as nothing more than carrion.General Fu Shi's sharp gaze slowly swept over the nineteen remaining participants standing stiffly in the contestant row."Well?" General Fu Shi repeated in a cold tone. "Is there any among you who wishes to step forward and fight Fang Zhe for the top ranking?"Silence.The nineteen best geniuses from various major clans and elite sects of the Eastern Region abruptly lowered their heads. Not a single person dared to raise their gaze, let alone take a step forward onto the stage!Seeing Fang Zhe—someone capable of leaping across realms, taking down a One-Star King Fighter in a single blow, and withstanding the wild, frantic assault of a Four-Star King Fi

BAMMMM!The lifelines in Zhuge Yan's eyes dimmed instantly. His consciousness collapsed entirely as his withered, shriveled body could no longer sustain the shattering of all his meridians. With a heavy THUD, Zhuge Yan's head slammed against the quartz rock. The remnants of his blood Qi evaporated into a thin mist, leaving behind a weakly breathing living corpse that had completely lost its cultivation!"ZHUGE YAN!"A hysterical roar split the skies of the Main Altar! The Patriarch of the Zhuge Clan, witnessing his only son and sole prospective clan successor reduced to a useless, crippled form, could no longer contain his insane fury.BOOMMMMMMMMM!The cultivation pressure of a Seven-Star King Fighter realm erupted ferociously from the Zhuge Patriarch's body, shattering the entire surrounding VIP viewing area!

BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZT!Fang Zhe's Thousand-Thunder Footstep was fully triggered! Every time his heel touched the quartz floor, a fine purple-blue flash of lightning burst out, leaving behind trails of electrical arcs that instantly launched his body forward like a ghost shadow.WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!"H-HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!" Zhuge Yan roared ever more madly, his wrinkled jaw trembling violently. His pair of venomous claws continued to slash unceasingly, tearing through the air with insane speed from the Four-Star King Fighter Realm. Yet, no matter how brutal and savage his blood claw attacks were... all he managed to tear apart were the lingering lightning afterimages left behind by Fang Zhe!BAM! BAM! THUD!Zhuge Yan's missed claw strikes slammed repeatedly into the quartz floor, creating new craters and sending shattered rock debris flying into dust. Yet Fang Zhe's figure remained untouched, flitting agilely around the combat area like a winding lightning bolt amidst a storm."COW

BOOMMMMMMM!The blackish-red blood aura burning away the remnants of Zhuge Yan's life grew even more unhinged, its pressure vibrations strong enough to crack the anchoring stakes of the arena's protective dome formation. The suffocatingly thick, foul stench of blood surged through the gaps of the formation, stinging the noses of the terrified thousands in the audience.Up in the main stands of the VIP honor pavilion, the atmosphere—which had previously been filled with the vengeful cheers of the major clan elders—instantly descended into total chaos!"Damn it! What in the world is that Zhuge brat doing?!" yelled an Elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect, slamming his stone table until it shattered into countless pieces. "Burning his pure bloodline to forcibly spike his realm all the way to a Four-Star King Fighter?! Not only is he destroying his own future, but he's going to blow up this combat dome!""This is no longer just an elimination round duel!" added the Grand Elder of the Green C

"Ho-How is it possible that he's already beside me?!"Zhuge Yan hadn't even managed to turn his face when a chill pierced straight through his spine. The sensation of a death threat locked onto all his movements, freezing the blood in his chest vessels.BZZZZZT—BOOOOM!Without giving a single second of pause, Fang Zhe's right hand, coated in the glow of three elements, lunged forward like the strike of a dragon's hammer! That fist smashed right into the center of Zhuge Yan's back with crushing precision.DUUMMMMMM!The sound of bone fractures and a deafening Qi explosion echoed loudly inside the dome. The destructive force of Fang Zhe's fist rippled like lightning, instantly shattering the defense of the Heavenly Bow Formation and destroying the remaining flows of Qi in Zhuge Yan's meridians, which were already on the brink of ruin."GUAARRGH!"Fresh blood sprayed heavily from Zhuge Yan's mouth. His body was flung across the arena stage like a cannonball, slamming into the protective

Fang Zhe remained standing in his place, unmoving amid the raging storm of Qi triggered by Zhuge Yan. His gaze, as calm as the surface of an ice lake, did not waver in the slightest, even when the oppressive aura of his opponent's fake Pseudo-King Warrior realm shook the quartz floor all around them.Hearing Zhuge Yan's roar full of pseudo-confidence, the corners of Fang Zhe's lips lifted slightly, forming a carving of a cold smile laden with absolute mockery."Old and new grudges?" Fang Zhe uttered flatly, his soft yet crystal-clear voice cutting through the roaring gale of wind inside the dome.He took a single step forward. His calm demeanor stood in stark contrast to the destructive aura emitted by his enemy."Zhuge Yan, it seems your memory was ruined along with the side effects of that cheap pill," Fang Zhe continued with a tone of sharp disdain. "Back in the Small World, didn't you already use the exact same method to forcibly raise your cultivation? And what was the result? Yo
