125: National event, I will continue to kill chickens

"I missed you..."

As soon as Han Lie knocked on the villa door, a soft body immediately rushed into his embrace, and a beautiful face rubbed against him like a kitten.

"Aren't I back now?"

Han Lie reached out and ruffled Bai He Wan's hair. When he looked at her again, he saw that Bai He Wan's eyes were a little red, and he said with a smile,

"You're still crying at your age?"

"I am not!"

"Is there any food? I'm hungry!" Han Lie looked around; it was no different from when he left.

"Yes, I'll get it for you now!" Han Lie had informed Bai He Wan of his return, so she had already prepared food.

During the meal, the two chatted idly.

..................

"The competition is being held on such a large scale?"

Han Lie had thought that a selection for one spot wouldn't be too grand, but after listening to Bai He Wan, he realized that this selection was being held simultaneously across all territories of Blue Star. Each region selected 1,000 people, and the number of participants in each region never fell below 1 million.

According to statistics, nearly 10 million low-level Martial Artists from all over Blue Star participated in this selection, with about 10,000 people chosen to compete in the Town Boundary Tower. This scale was indeed massive.

During this time,

Bai He Wan took out her phone and showed Han Lie the trending topics and hot searches from this period, which were almost all current events about the selection competitions in various regions. Hot terms included Dark Horse, Champion, Runner-up, Winning Streak, Close Defeat, etc.......

It could be described as a grand event for the entire population.

"This..."

Han Lie clicked his tongue slightly. It seemed his understanding of this world was still shallow. Under circumstances where there was clearly no great danger, the native inhabitants of Blue Star had chosen to entertain themselves to death.

Indeed, Blue Star's will is incredibly powerful; they are rarely bothered by external species. Coupled with their exposure to the colorful world of the Ten Thousand Races, their own Martial Daocause has flourished, which is bound to lead to "deformed" values. With the guidance of capitalists, the entire society's pursuit of Martial Dao powerhouses has reached a fanatical level. Naturally, they would show the most enthusiastic emotions towards participating in a Universe-level "event" like the Town Boundary Tower.

"They were asking about you!"

Bai He Wan gently poked her phone, "It's your fans, asking why you didn't participate in the Town Boundary Tower selection!"

"How did you answer?" Han Lie said casually.

"I said you were out training!" Bai He Wan served Han Lie some dishes. "At first, I thought you'd be back in a few days, so I told them you were out training. But then you never came back, and many people said you died. So I told them you didn't need to participate in the regular selection because you were already internally designated. But among your fans, I don't know if they were trolls or anti-fans, they didn't believe it and just kept saying you died!"

"Don't mind them!" Han Lie waved his hand.

"How can I not!" Bai He Wan put down her chopsticks. "Do you know how many fans you have now? A full ten million! And hundreds of thousands have joined our fan group. This is all money, you don't want money?"

Han Lie thought to himself that he could indeed not care about money, but it was hard to guarantee that future Term missions wouldn't be related to such things. After all, a large part of his Invincible Posture Term was completed with the help of these fans.

"Then find someone to help me with it!"

Han Lie said casually.

He knew Bai He Wan's family had a lot of influence, so doing these things should be quite easy for them.

"Mhm!" Bai He Wan nodded, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Han Lie. "You can rest assured and leave these things to me. All the money earned afterward will be transferred to your card. So, speaking of which, do you want to give them a response?"

"Hmm, alright!"

Han Lie thought about it. Given this level of fanaticism, if he didn't say anything, everyone would truly believe he was dead. Besides, being chosen as an internally designated spot wasn't something that couldn't be said.

He said directly:

"Then let's respond!"

Thinking about it, Han Lie directly edited a post on social media:

"Just finished devilish training!"

"Confirmed entry into the Town Boundary Tower!"

This post instantly ignited the entire internet, with related comments, likes, and shares skyrocketing at an alarming speed.

Did Han Lie have popularity online?

Absolutely.

It should be known that not long ago, he had just become the top scorer in the national Martial Exam and had strongly crushed other Celestial Pride in the freshman competition.

However, he had been silent for the past two months.

As soon as he posted,

Countless people immediately flocked to it.

Just look at the comments below!!

"Holy crap, Lie Shen!!!"

"It's the living Lie Shen, holy cow! What? Confirmed participation in the Town Boundary Tower? Good heavens, so you were doing something big during these two months you disappeared!!"

"Awesome, Lie Shen! Could it be that you're already a Martial Warrior Rank 3? Promoting to Martial Warrior Rank 3 in less than half a semester, are you even human?!"

"Oh my goodness!! Lie Shen, you truly are my god! Among all the freshmen I'm following, you're the only one who's internally designated!!!"

The comments below instantly exploded.

Indeed,

For Han Lie, a freshman, to obtain a spot was already an incredible feat, let alone being internally designated. Everyone knew that those who were internally designated were the cream of the crop in various regions.

Of course,

There were also some voices on the internet, questioning the authenticity and fairness of Han Lie's internal designation.

They said:

"Impossible! Based on cultivation progress, a freshman would at most be Martial Artist Rank 2!! And even Martial Artist Rank 2 would be from taking drugs. I don't believe you, Han Lie, could be internally designated!!"

"Rumor has it that Han Lie has a connection with the Principal of Shanghai Martial Arts University. It's said that on the day Han Lie disappeared, the Principal of Shanghai Martial Arts University searched the entire university for him. Tsk, isn't he just a connected individual?!"

"If you ask me, Han Lie doesn't even have the strength to participate in the Town Boundary Tower!! He'd just be going to his death. It's not a big deal if he dies, but don't waste a spot! How many top Martial Warrior Rank 3s couldn't participate in the Town Boundary Tower just because there weren't enough spots!!"

There were many similar voices online,

Many people, whether trolls or anti-fans, were frantically demanding that Han Lie compete in a match. The opponent could be chosen freely, as long as they were a contestant who had obtained a spot through normal channels.

Quite a few contestants,

Volunteered,

Willing to be the challenged party.

................

"Idiot!"

Bai He Wan only found these people incredibly boring. Did they really think participating in the Town Boundary Tower was like going on vacation? She couldn't be bothered to relay it to Han Lie.

As for Han Lie,

He wouldn't care about such information even if he saw it.

If you're truly impressive,

Say it to my face.

He was now solely focused on improving his strength. He and Bai He Wan had already arrived at the Mystic Realm entrance. It's worth noting that they no longer had to painstakingly catch and kill chickens like before.

The improvement in strength and status.

Allowed them to fully enjoy the benefits.

"Boss!!"

A chicken-catching team of nearly five hundred people served Han Lie.

"Query Term tasks!"

"[With Weakness Wins Strength 9.0: Ignore the pressure of higher-ranked beings, ignore level suppression, ignore racial counter-affinity, ignore... You can rely purely on courage to challenge any being stronger than you, exerting 180% of your combat power 0/100000]"

.............

"Enough talk, let's start killing chickens!!"
