"Roar!!!"
The red dragon was clearly not working for the Supernatural United Bureau for the first time.
When the mountainous dragon's body appeared, corresponding measures were immediately taken near the Supernatural United Bureau headquarters. A wide and spacious landing area was prepared for the red dragon to rest.
"The dragon destroyed the landing pad!"
Rex Santos excitedly shouted something he had heard from who knows where.
With a burst of speed,
a steep dive,
and a tail flick upon landing,
the red dragon landed on the ground in a flamboyant manner.
The immense kinetic energy from the impact tore deep gouges into the ground, showcasing the raw power of a Sanctuary dragon and its overwhelming presence.
However, near the landing site,
the staff were accustomed to this scene.
They weren't too surprised.
They quickly divided tasks and began repairing the damage caused by the red dragon.
But soon, someone noticed something unusual. It was a clerical worker responsible for task handovers with the red dragon. He asked the dragon if the recent strength assessment had gone smoothly.
The red dragon nodded solemnly, "That lord's strength is formidable. I narrowly lost to him."
The clerical worker was shocked, "What? Not only is he a true Sanctuary Magus, but he also achieved victory!?"
Holy crap.
This kind of thing actually happened!
The clerical worker was both shocked and thrilled, his voice trembling uncontrollably. Working at the headquarters, he knew all too well how significant the emergence of a Sanctuary-level combatant was for humanity.
"This, this, this!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"No, no, I must report this immediately and get in touch with that Sanctuary powerhouse again!"
The clerical worker was too excited.
He was about to turn and leave when a light, airy voice came from above.
"No need to contact me. I'm already here."
…………
A new Sanctuary Magus had been born.
Not a member of an alien race, nor someone from another world, but a true compatriot of Huaxia, a super genius who had ascended to the pinnacle through magical inheritance.
As soon as this news spread, it caused a huge uproar throughout the Supernatural United Bureau headquarters.
Especially after it became known that Xu Xi had personally arrived,
the commotion grew even more intense.
After the staff reported the situation, it took less than five minutes for the area to be completely cordoned off, keeping the curious supernatural onlookers at bay.
"Sanctuary? Holy crap, isn't that almost godlike!?"
"Damn it, I'm so jealous!"
"Big shot, big shot, look at me! I'm your long-lost brother from another mother!"
The noise, the clamor,
and the sounds of envy and jealousy filled the air.
It wasn't until Xu Xi followed the staff into the inner sanctum of the Supernatural United Bureau headquarters that the noise gradually subsided.
"Mr. Xu, may I address you as such?"
"Sure."
Inside the headquarters building,
the lighting was bright, with lamps arranged evenly. The silver-white metal corridors were inscribed with Buddhist scriptures and Taoist talismans, sealing off any possibility of intrusion by malevolent spirits or demons.
When Xu Xi entered, someone was already waiting for him.
It was a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Compared to others, this was already an impressive level of cultivation, worthy of respect wherever he went. But compared to Xu Xi, he seemed rather ordinary.
The Nascent Soul cultivator was well aware of this and maintained a humble demeanor, speaking respectfully.
"Mr. Xu, please follow me."
"Your permissions within the Bureau, as well as your benefits and points in the Supernatural Home, have all been upgraded. You can check the specifics on the Supernatural Home platform."
The process was quick, almost alarmingly so.
In the time it took Xu Xi to drink a cup of water, his identity as a Sanctuary Magus was confirmed, and both his permissions and benefits were upgraded accordingly.
"Don't you need to test my strength again?"
"Haha, you must be joking. If you've earned the recognition of that red dragon, your strength is beyond question."
"True," Xu Xi nodded.
The pride of dragons was well-known.
Whether it was the dragons of the East or the dragons of the West, both held immense pride in their bloodline and looked down on all other creatures with equal disdain.
The only way to earn a dragon's respect and make them submit was to defeat and subdue them.
This was why the Supernatural United Bureau immediately confirmed that Xu Xi was a true Sanctuary Magus.
The Nascent Soul cultivator continued, "Next, please follow this corridor all the way to the end. Our director is waiting for you there."
"The director?"
"Yes. Perhaps you've already heard from the red dragon—it was the sword immortal who defeated it with a single strike."
"Alright, I understand."
Xu Xi's speculation was confirmed.
The one who had defeated the red dragon was indeed a sword immortal, and he also served as the director of the Supernatural United Bureau.
Xu Xi couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity: "I've already encountered gods in the simulation world, but I've never met an immortal before."
"I thought I'd see one in a later simulation, but I never expected it to happen in the real world."
"Well, I'll meet him."
"After all, with the Eternal Tear, safety isn't an issue, and he can't possibly be an Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, the Earth wouldn't be able to handle it."
Xu Xi calmly weighed the pros and cons.
In the end, he decided to go ahead with the meeting.
He walked along the silver-white metal corridor, heading straight ahead. Just as he was about to reach the end, the space around him blurred and shifted, transforming into a natural landscape.
The sound of flowing water and rustling bamboo leaves filled the air.
The sunlight filtering through the sky was just right, refracting off the rippling water surface to create a dreamy, tranquil scene.
Xu Xi looked ahead and saw a lean, elderly figure practicing swordplay alone.
He was old,
but also incredibly free-spirited.
Without using any supernatural abilities or immortal power, he simply swung his sword calmly, yet the sharpness of his sword intent seemed capable of cutting through anything.
But what truly surprised Xu Xi was the style of the flying sword in the man's hand.
It was unmistakably the Withered Vine Sword,
a unique forging technique of the Forest Sword Peak lineage from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Traitorous disciple, it's been so long, yet you refuse to call me your teacher!"
The sword immortal slowly retracted his sword intent, and the countless sword energies that had filled the heavens and earth returned to the Withered Vine Sword. He turned slightly, revealing a face that Xu Xi recognized.
Li Wanshou.
The master of Forest Sword Peak.
Xu Xi's teacher from his first simulation world.
"Teacher?" Xu Xi was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "This disciple admits his fault."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
Their smiles were calm, without any overwhelming excitement or tears. It was a serene and natural exchange, just like the old days when they addressed each other as teacher and disciple.
"Sit down."
Li Wanshou gestured for Xu Xi to take a seat.
The two of them sat around a stone table, facing each other. As the gentle breeze whispered by, fresh bamboo leaves steeped in hot water slowly filled their teacups.
After a few simple pleasantries and confirming Xu Xi's recent circumstances,
Li Wanshou's expression turned nostalgic. "Though I don't know how you, this traitorous disciple, came back to life, this teacher... is very happy."
The old man's lips curled into a smile, but it didn't last long before his face turned stern again.
He slammed the table and lamented, "Traitorous disciple! Why on earth did you have to go and learn some barbaric magic? It's shallow, vulgar! The path of immortality is the true, righteous path!"

u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
