[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on successfully betting on the third round of the Star Fighting match!]

[You bet on yourself to win, with a stake of 22 *gou* 2420 *rang* 4245 *zi* 5764 *gai* 2000 *jing* 0000 *zhao* 1091 hundred million Mist Points. The odds for the winning side at the time of the bet were 1:100,000;]

[You have now received 2224 *gou* 2042 *rang* 4557 *zi* 6420 *gai* 0000 *jing* 0010 *zhao* 9100 hundred million Mist Points!]

[... Due to Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert, a supreme expert of the Dark Clan, questioning your performance in the third round of the two-dimensional arena, the rules conducted a special inspection and confirmed that all your Fighting Skills were obtained through your own strength.

Therefore, Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert is fined 100 positive Mist Points!]

[According to the reward and punishment rules of this competition, all fines from challengers will be fully awarded to the challenged party!]

[Su Lie is specially rewarded with 100 positive Mist Points!]

In the blink of an eye.

Su Lie's personal panel appeared in his line of sight.

He saw that the data for the Mist Points item on his personal panel had become 100 positive 0000 *jian* 2224 *gou* 2042 *rang* 4557 *zi* 6420 *gai* 0000 *jing* 0010 *zhao* 9100 hundred million points.

"Hiss! Holy crap! this one competition really earned enough money for a lifetime!"

Seeing this, Su Lie couldn't help but feel excited.

Just then.

Qingfeng's voice rang in Su Lie's ears: "My dear little brother! Don't think these Mist Points are a lot! In reality, once you reach a higher level, they will be nothing more than a drop in the ocean for you!"

Su Lie's heart stirred, and he looked up.

He saw Qingfeng looking at him from the VIP box, her eyes shining brightly.

She waved at Su Lie.

Her black pupils were replaced by light again.

Su Lie waved back at Qingfeng.

As soon as he blinked.

He found that he was already standing at the very top of the entire venue.

At this moment.

He saw Reap cheering enthusiastically, the relaxed Qingfeng, Shilaike - Dark Clan Supreme Expert filled with despair, Gold Glitter dejected and lacking Fighting spirit, and Love lying completely limp.

As well as the intense murderous intent in the eyes of the Xingtian Clan experts, and the hostility in the eyes of the Archangel Race experts and many other powerful figures.

And.

The affection and adoration of all the female spectators.

And the giant who was slumped in his seat like a big idiot—Wayne!

[Everyone! ...]

At this moment, the host floated excitedly in front of Su Lie and delivered a lengthy speech of praise.

Finally.

The host excitedly announced: "It is my great honor to now announce the first place winner of the first segment of this Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition, the most popular star contestant of this Fighting Survival Competition, Su Lie..."

"Has won the title of Fighting Star of this Fighting Survival Competition!"

"Su Lie is rewarded with a total of 10 positive Mist Points from the live broadcast reward prize pool!"

"Since there are no incentive items in the incentive pool, this reward consists only of Mist Points!"

... Subsequently.

A flash of light enveloped Su Lie.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations on obtaining the title of Fighting Star!]

[Fighting Star: A red god-tier title. You do not need to meet multiple awakening requirements for Fighting Skills; you only need to meet one to learn all Fighting Skills, and your Fighting Skills will receive an extra 10 times total damage multiplier.

Note: This title comes from the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition!]

"Huh? 10 times the total damage of Fighting Skills, which means my Rising Dragon Fist will have 100,000 times the unarmed damage..."

Su Lie looked at the title before him, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from curling up.

This is equivalent to 90 *jing* (900 trillion) points of damage!

Among Second Turn and Third-Turn Professionals.

This is absolutely an unprecedented feat!

Following that.

He saw that the total value of Mist Points on his personal panel had become 110 positive points.

Now that the monetary rewards were safely secured.

Su Lie was already satisfied.

He simultaneously waved to the excited and passionate fans in the venue.

This drew even more fervent cheers.

After his awards ceremony concluded.

The winners of the eleven competition segments, from the second segment up to the twelfth segment, waited one by one to receive their awards.

Aside from the cheers from the audience of their own clans or races.

No one else could command the same level of presence as Su Lie.

The subsequent award ceremonies were extremely lackluster compared to Su Lie's.

When the conference concluded.

Qingfeng floated in mid-air.

Representing the mist rule, she solemnly announced: "Effective immediately, the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition will be changed to be held once every year!"

"In these years, since the Virtual Street Fighting Survival Competition began, 1872 sessions have been held. The rewards embezzled by the Mist Guild, the Dark Guild, and the Holy Guild during these 1872 sessions must all be sacrificed to the mist rule!"

"Otherwise, the Guilds will surely suffer severe punishment!"

As the voice rang out.

The venue fell into silence.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Immediately afterward, the audience and the surviving contestants were teleported back to their respective shops one by one.

When Su Lie appeared in his own shop.

Liu Bowen and Wang Dahai simultaneously bowed ninety degrees to Su Lie: "Lord! Welcome home!"

The two were ecstatic and extremely excited.

After speaking.

They were about to kneel.

But Su Lie immediately stopped them: "You don't need to do this! Our territory doesn't have the rule of kowtowing every time you see someone!"

"No! Lord! If it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't have earned 9,000 trillion Mist Points! This is wealth I never even dreamed of!"

Wang Dahai shouted excitedly.

Liu Bowen immediately followed up by recounting some events outside the arena.

Currently.

Su Lie's Vassals had successfully earned massive amounts of Mist Points by betting on Su Lie to win through Liu Bowen and Wang Dahai.

Among them, the newest Vassal who bet the least earned 1 trillion Mist Points.

Lin Xi, who bet the most, earned 300 trillion Mist Points.

In this wave.

Su Lie had led nearly 20,000 Vassals across the entire territory to prosperity!

"There are already over 20,000 Vassals?"

Su Lie couldn't help but feel a little dazed upon hearing this.

How long had it been?

There were only a little over 10,000 yesterday evening.

After just one night, the number had surpassed 20,000.

Liu Bowen said with a smile: "That's because everyone couldn't hold on any longer! They couldn't persevere!"

"What a pity!"

"Intelligence expert Zhang Tianwu was backstabbed and killed by a teammate in a Dungeon an hour ago, all because of a god-tier quality item!"

Speaking of this.

He sighed.

Su Lie felt slightly distracted after hearing this, and he shook his head: "Fate."

This Zhang Tianwu was a member of Su Lie's private Mist Chat Group.

He was good friends with Lin Xi and the others.

He had refused Su Lie's invitation because he didn't want to be managed by others.

Who would have thought.

How little time had passed.

Zhang Tianwu was already dead.

Wang Dahai said carelessly: "Brother Liu! Why talk about such things on a day of great joy! If Zhang Tianwu had been willing to submit to the Lord back then, he wouldn't have met such an end! We should take this as a warning and be happy instead!"

"That's right! If not for the Lord, we..."

Liu Bowen nodded.

Before he could finish speaking.

A group of brightly dressed foreign women suddenly appeared outside the shop door.

These women varied in height, weight, and build.

They were truly graceful and charming.

"Su Lie! Do you have time? We are your fans! Can we get an autograph!"

"Su Lie! Do you have time for a date? This is my business card!"

"Su Lie! this one has a small resource exchange meeting, would you like to attend!"

"Su Lie! Are you married? I want to be your wife!"

... Facing the enthusiastic fans, Su Lie continuously accepted the pens from their hands and wrote the character "Fu" (Fortune/Luck) on a piece of silk provided by a fan.

"Huh? Idol! Isn't your name Su Lie? Why did you sign the character 'Fu'?"

The fan was stunned and asked, puzzled.

Su Lie smiled slightly: "If I signed my name, you would surely treasure it! But this 'Fu' character is different; this is my blessing to you! With it, everything will go smoothly for you, and luck will follow you continuously! You will carry it with you at all times..."

Under his clever persuasion.

The fans became even more excited.

Just like that.

Su Lie sent away one batch of fans only for another to arrive.

An hour later.

[Warning! Warning! Please return to your respective shops within 5 minutes! The Virtual Street power-down procedure has been initiated, and the invasion of the Digital Dark Tide is about to begin!]

The warning came from the Virtual Street.

Su Lie could only apologize to the enthusiastic fans.

After the fans left.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Su Lie, Liu Bowen, and Wang Dahai withdrew from the Virtual Street Virtual Mist Shop together.

Wang Dahai sent a private message: "Lord! Why did you sign the character 'Fu' when you could have signed your name?"

"You don't understand, do you! Look at the stars on our Blue Star, how many of them write their real names on blank paper? All famous people use stage names, do you know why?"

Su Lie countered.

Wang Dahai thought for a moment, realizing the issue: "Is it the fear of someone fraudulently using the name to sign a contract?"

"That's right! The Mist World has more scammers than Blue Star! We have no way of knowing whether the item handed over contains a trap! If we sign our name and fall into a trap, we would be caught in someone else's net!"

Su Lie said with a laugh.

Wang Dahai immediately reminded him: "Wait a minute, Lord! What if some power could use your handwriting against you?"

"Haha! My handwriting isn't that easy to exploit! This 'Fu' character I wrote is a Contract Book created using my Talent, and this contract stipulates that the text is merely text and cannot be used for..."

Su Lie replied with a laugh.

Su Lie had already considered the trap Wang Dahai was thinking of.

This time, it was a sudden inspiration to condense the power of the Contract Book Talent into the single character "Fu."

Regardless of who it was.

As long as they tried to use this character to harm Su Lie.

Their scheme would inevitably fail.

At that very moment.

Qingfeng sent a message to Su Lie: "Good brother! You performed well this time! I won a total of 9.99 billion positive bets, and I said before the bet that I would give you half of the winnings I received!"

Immediately after.

She sent a transfer message to Su Lie.

The value was exactly 5 billion positive Mist Points.

While Su Lie was hesitating.

He saw.

Qingfeng's private message arrived again: "You've become very famous this time! Countless fans will ask you for autographs in the future! Remember this above all else: never leave your name for anyone!"

"I have a suggestion for you! Spend 5 billion positive Mist Points to formalize your true name under the rules!"

"In this way, when you sign in the future, your true name will generate different usage rules based on your current situation and the thoughts and desires you had when signing it!"

"This way, you can prevent your true name from being exploited and used against you!"

"It can also prevent powerful experts from using your true name for divination, curses, extremely long-distance control, or directing the power of destruction and calamity toward you!"

... After Su Lie read Qingfeng's private message.

He couldn't help but ask: "Is there a way to crack the formalization under the rules?..."

He also recounted his recent experience with fan autographs and the method he used.

"Haha! Unless the other party can kill the mist rule, no life form can crack this method!"

Qingfeng laughed: "You must understand that formalizing your true name under the rules means your name is formalized under the mist rule and managed by the mist rule on your behalf! Otherwise, it wouldn't be so expensive!"

"Since you have already left your handwriting, hurry up and come to the Guild!"

... Upon hearing this, Su Lie immediately accepted Qingfeng's transfer: "Thank you, Sis!"

"Don't be polite! After you complete the name formalization, come find me at the Punishment Hall! I have something I want to discuss with you!"

Qingfeng said casually.

After Su Lie ended the conversation with Qingfeng.

He hurriedly opened the mist manual and used the manual's teleportation channel to enter the Mist Survivors Guild headquarters.

Just as he appeared on the teleportation plaza.

Sounds of surprise came from the surroundings.

"Su Lie!"

"Idol! How about an autograph?"

"Su Lie! Awesome! You fought for humanity's honor! Strong!"

"Su Lie! Don't sign carelessly, watch out for traps!"

"Su Lie! Congratulations! Congratulations!"

... Most Survivors who had arrived at the Mist Survivors Guild headquarters on the teleportation plaza swarmed toward Su Lie.

This caused some newcomers who had just arrived at the Mist Survivors Guild to look over: "This must be some kind of great expert!"

After a brief exchange with the crowd, Su Lie quickly headed toward the Guild headquarters.

At this time.

In a certain territory of the Xingtian Clan.

Zhan Wu, an expert of the Xingtian Clan, looked at his younger sister Zhan Wushuang before him and asked: "Little sister! Did you get Su Lie's autograph?"

"I did get it! But Su Lie's signature wasn't his name; it was the character 'Fu' condensed from a Contract Book. It only carries the meaning of blessing and cannot be used for curses!"

Zhan Wushuang shook her head, speaking with slight reluctance.

Zhan Wu frowned, and it whispered: "No matter! As long as it is a character he wrote, it will work!"

Saying this, he took out an item and used the 'Fu' character signed by Su Lie as a catalyst.

When he activated the item.

[Buzz!]

[Curse failed!]

[Su Lie is currently within the protection range of the mist rule, and all power directed at this area will be ineffective!]

[Do you wish to continue using the Nine Heavens Soul Killing Word Curse?]

"No!"

Zhan Wu was startled, and immediately shook its head: "Hmph! This Su Lie must have gone to the Guild to find that bitch Qingfeng! I will let him live for a few more hours, and once he leaves the Guild, I will curse him to death!"

...
