Chen Hao and Su Han both ended up in the police station.
No matter how invincible you are as the protagonist, you still can't compare to the will of the nation.
Inside the police station, Chen Hao and Su Han glared at each other fiercely.
It was as if they harbored some deep-seated hatred.
The police officers were also extremely frustrated. They particularly hated dealing with conflicts between martial artists in their daily work.
Martial artists, relying on their formidable strength, often engaged in private duels, causing chaos and disruption.
"Scholars disrupt the law with their words; warriors violate it with their fists."
Dragon Country once had a policy to ban martial arts, but it was later abolished. However, relevant laws were enacted, with thousands of regulations specifically aimed at restraining martial artists.
It is said that decades ago, when the management of martial artists wasn't particularly strict, Dragon Country once hosted a martial arts tournament.
That tournament was a spectacle of extraordinary feats, but it was also utterly outrageous. The competition was brutal beyond belief.
It was something even movies wouldn't dare to depict. Over three thousand people signed up for the tournament, and by the end... more than two thousand five hundred were injured or killed. Over a thousand had broken arms or legs, and nearly a third of the martial artists died.
Hundreds of masters at the "Transformed Strength" level perished, and even several grandmasters at the "Divine Strength" level met their demise.
Since then, no martial arts tournament has been held. After all, the idea that "there is no second place in martial arts" has long been ingrained in people's minds.
The title of "Martial Arts Champion" was enough to move even the grandmasters.
However, after that tournament, the crime rate among martial artists in Dragon Country saw a significant decline, and public security improved considerably.
...
"I'm going to kill you!"
Even in the police station, Su Han couldn't stay quiet. The moment he saw Chen Hao, he wanted to punch him.
Chen Hao was baffled. What had he done to provoke this guy?
Why was Su Han so hell-bent on killing him?
Shouldn't it be the other way around? This guy had spat in his face last time!
"Enough! Stop shouting!"
A cold, sharp voice rang out.
A graceful figure stepped forward. Wang Yanran had no fondness for these high-and-mighty martial artists who were always causing trouble and disrupting public order.
The crime rate among martial artists was about five times higher than that of ordinary people. Police officers in Dragon Country generally had a poor impression of martial artists, especially those who abused their strength and acted recklessly. It was like seeing a troublemaker walking down the street.
Both Su Han and Chen Hao turned their heads, their gazes filled with infatuation as they looked at Wang Yanran.
Wang Yanran frowned, her beautiful eyes narrowing in disgust. That look... it was nauseating.
"Why were you two fighting?"
Mentioning the fight, Chen Hao felt wronged. He had been standing guard at the entrance of his neighborhood when he was suddenly ambushed by Su Han, who delivered a flying kick that nearly sent him to meet his ancestors.
"Officer, I have no grudge against this guy. He attacked me out of nowhere. You can check the surveillance footage. I'm the victim here. He hit me first!"
Su Han, hearing Chen Hao's words, was equally furious.
"Bullshit! Your Chen family annihilated my Su family! This is an irreconcilable blood feud. I won't just beat you... I'm going to kill you!"
After saying this, Su Han felt a twinge of unease.
Chen Hao was the young master of the Chen family, and his cultivation level was already on par with his own. Did that mean the Chen family didn't have any "Transformed Strength" level experts?
Could the intelligence Monkey provided be wrong?
But after a moment of thought, he shook his head firmly.
No, that couldn't be. Monkey had been through life-and-death situations with him over the years. Although they had never met in person, Monkey's help to their Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps had been invaluable. His almost miraculous hacking skills had saved them countless times.
Chen Hao was confused, sizing up Su Han.
"You are..."
"I'm Su Han. Your Chen family wiped out my entire Su family years ago. Don't let me find an opportunity, or I will annihilate your Chen family!"
"You're talking nonsense! My Chen family practices the Way of Tai Chi. We focus on self-cultivation and never meddle in worldly affairs. We've never wiped out anyone's family!"
Su Han burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Do you think I'd believe that? Just wait... Once I break through to the 'Transformed Strength' level, everyone in your Chen family will die!"
Chen Hao was also enraged. "With your intelligence, it's no wonder your family was wiped out. And I'll tell you this—your so-called Su family was indeed annihilated by my Chen family. What are you going to do about it? Huh? Pissed off, aren't you?"
"Say that again, I dare you!"
"I dare! Pissed off, pissed off, neener neener~~~"
"BANG!!!" Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Wang Yanran slammed her hand on the table, and several police officers stood up.
This was no joke. Talking about wiping out entire families... these two sounded like serious trouble.
As for their claims of family annihilation, the police would naturally investigate, but it was unlikely to yield any results. After all, events from decades ago were difficult to reopen and investigate.
Moreover, once it involved martial arts families, it fell outside the jurisdiction of ordinary law and had to be reported to the specialized investigation bureau. It was no longer their responsibility.
...
In the end, Chen Hao was detained for seven days for fighting.
Su Han, however, faced a harsher fate: six months in prison.
This was completely unacceptable to Su Han. If he went to prison, he would lose his job as a security guard. He was counting on that position to get closer to Gu Lingfei and win her heart...
"It seems I'll have to use my connections."
Clearly, Su Han had his own network of contacts. A mere police station couldn't hold him.
......
Meanwhile, at a horse ranch in the outskirts of Hangzhou.
Jiang Che was riding horses with Yu Wan'er and the others—yes, actual horses.
Qin Qiaoqiao and Yu Wan'er were now part of his inner circle, and he wanted to show them a bit of the high life.
In this privately owned ranch, a top-tier horse could easily cost over a million.
It was a playground for the children of the elite. After all, when you've had your fill of luxury cars and beautiful women, horses become the next indulgence.
And Young Master Jiang had casually booked the entire ranch!
They spent the entire afternoon there, only leaving as dusk fell, thoroughly satisfied.
Jiang Che helped Yu Wan'er into the car, only to notice that Monkey had sent him a message.
[Boss, Su Han has been bailed out.]
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. He had been keeping a close eye on these so-called "protagonists," monitoring their every move. Naturally, he knew about Su Han and Chen Hao's fight and their subsequent arrest.
But he hadn't expected Su Han to be released so quickly.
It seemed someone was pulling strings behind the scenes. Then again, it made sense. If Su Han didn't have powerful backing, how could a foreign mercenary leader like him have entered Dragon Country so easily?

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart.
