The screen in the live broadcast room went black for no apparent reason.
Even the sound disappeared.
All the comments were rolling wildly, with no one knowing what was going on.
Li Mingyuan immediately instructed the technical team to investigate the cause.
But... the answer they got was...
【Unable to find the cause, suspected hacker intrusion!】
Hacker intrusion?
Li Mingyuan’s pupils dilated in shock upon hearing this.
This hacker made him think of the one who had previously infiltrated the League’s information database.
A hacker capable of bypassing Little Tian’s high-tech system...
And now this.
Could it be...
Li Mingyuan’s mind flashed the image of Qin Luo.
Could it be... that the person suspected to be another Transcender... was Qin Luo?
But!
If it were Qin Luo, why would he reveal himself so easily?
---
Qin Luo, on the other hand, seeing Su Muwan’s mood, immediately understood that he needed to offer some extra benefits to appease her.
So!
Qin Luo took a deep breath.
Under Su Muwan’s curious gaze, Qin Luo spread his hands and said seriously, “Young mistress, I’ll feed you at the time!”
Su Muwan thought Qin Luo was about to say something grand, so she lightly huffed, “Feeding me is...”
“Using my finger to spear a cream puff and feed you!”
“....”
After a brief moment of silence.
“.....hehe...”
Su Muwan’s lips couldn’t help but curl up, her eyes blinking as she looked at Qin Luo, speaking softly, “Luo Luo, you know, I wasn’t really angry...”
“Really not?”
“Really!”
“That’s good.”
Qian Yu watched the two completely ignoring him.
He was so furious he couldn’t speak.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!”
Qian Yu roared as he manipulated the mech: “Listen to me when I’m talking!!!”
BOOM!
As the words left his mouth, the mech activated.
A massive energy beam erupted from its core, the dazzling light slicing through the sky, as if even the air was being torn apart.
Qian Yu felt his internal energy being drained, the pain of his brain syncing with the mech.
But!
The thought of soon sending these two people he detested to hell!
Then! It was worth it!
With all his might, he roared, “Qin Luo——!!”
I didn't hesitate to turn my whole body into this half-human, half-monster form!
“Even causing my father to banish me from the Qian Family!!”
“All of this!!! Was for!!!”
“To send you......”
The mech’s arms rose, its palms gathering a fierce beam of light, aimed directly at Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
Just as he was roaring, waiting for the beam to pierce through the two defenseless figures...
Su Muwan’s expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of annoyance.
“How annoying!”
She raised her head and coldly spat out those words, her right hand waving lightly towards the mech.
The next moment.
BOOM!!
A bone-chilling frost burst from her fingertips, surging like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the entire mech.
Qian Yu: ??!
This frost tore through his body, freezing the mech’s outer metal in an instant.
What shocked Qian Yu even more was that the mech’s originally flashing light was swallowed by the ice, its energy transmission instantly cut off, the beam dissipating into a silent ice sculpture.
“This... this...”
Inside the mech’s control cabin, Qian Yu stared dumbfounded at the scene, feeling the bone-deep chill more acutely.
How could this happen?
BANG BANG BANG!!!
He furiously pounded on the frozen equipment, trying to reactivate the mech, but all efforts were in vain.
“How can this be……”
Qian Yu muttered to himself, unable to believe what he was seeing.
What about high temperature and cold resistance?
What about! You all promised me!
Qian Yu couldn’t bring himself to believe this scene.
He hadn’t even started... he had given up everything, turning himself into this half-human, half-monster state.
And just...
Like that?
“No!! I don’t believe it!!”
Qian Yu’s voice cracked as he cried out in despair: “Move! Move for me! Why won’t you move!!”
Seeing this.
Outside, Su Muwan, who had casually frozen the mech, snorted lightly: “I told you, this thing is only good for mining.”
Qin Luo blinked.
Looking at the massive mech in front of him.
Hmm...
He admitted that technology was great and terrifying.
But...
It seemed that the current level of technology in this world couldn’t stand up to Su Muwan...
Well, that’s fine, the live broadcast could resume.
CLICK!
The live broadcast resumed.
Li Mingyuan, who had been wondering if Qin Luo was the Transcender, also received a reply from the maintenance team.
【Someone unplugged the internet cable, but it’s back on now.】
Li Mingyuan: .....
As the broadcast resumed, everyone was left dumbfounded.
“Ah?”
“How did the mech get frozen?”
“Did the fight end already?”
“Where’s the tech vs. martial arts clash I was looking forward to?”
“I get it!”
“You do?”
“Yes, the reason the screen went blank is simple! The Su lady’s chi was too strong! She froze our camera drone!”
“Otherwise, why would the mech not move?”
“Makes sense!”
Qian Yu, still inside the mech, tried a few more times but... the mech remained motionless.
He finally gave up, but... the resentment in his heart only grew.
He looked through the mech at Qin Luo and Su Muwan outside.
The two were still casually chatting about what to have for dinner.
“Why... why... why!!!”
Qian Yu finally couldn’t hold it together.
He hadn’t cried when he was dirt poor.
He hadn’t cried when the landlady misunderstood him.
He hadn’t cried when his father scolded him.
He hadn’t cried when he was stripped of his heir status.
But... but now!
With all his grievances, yet being blatantly ignored in front of his enemies!
Young master... I... I’m... crying!!!
Qian Yu’s eyes reddened as he yelled at Qin Luo and Su Muwan, “Why! Why! Why!!!”
“Why do you keep targeting me!!!”
“Why! I just wanted to give the landlady a better life!!! Yet you keep stopping me!!!”
“Su Muwan!!!”
He broke down in anger, placing all the blame on Su Muwan: “You this!!!”
“Poison——!”
BANG!!!
“Ugh——!”
Before his words could finish.
Qin Luo instantly appeared in front of the mech, raising his hand and slapping fiercely.
The force was astonishing, not only shattering the mech’s outer shell but also striking Qian Yu’s barely-sensible face through it.
Qian Yu’s face went pale, the familiar sensation returning.
Qin Luo mocked, “Stop barking, you’re lowering the ratings, trash.”
Rating...
In your eyes, I’m not even as important as a rating?
Ugh——!
Finally, Qian Yu broke down.
Unable to defeat them even with a new body, I... I... hehehe...
“Hehehe...”
“I’m the young master of the Qian Family... I’m the richest...”
Qian Yu babbled incoherently.
Qin Luo happily retracted his hand.
Perfect, another destined character swept away!
And as the mech shattered.
A mechanical voice echoed across major cities, announcing repeatedly:
“The winner of this tournament has been decided!”
“She is from Jiang City..... Su! Mu! Wan!”
At the same time.
【Congratulations, Master, for completing the tournament task!】
【System upgrading! Duration..... One month!】
Hearing the voice in his mind, Qin Luo smiled lightly.
Mhm.
All done.
All the live viewers, after a brief moment of stunned silence, began furiously sending comments.
“Did the match end in one night??”
“Is this the power of Jiang City’s overlord?”
“Absolute domination!”
Inside an apartment building.
A family of five who had prepared plenty of snacks expecting to watch the tournament overnight.
Their faces went blank.
“It’s over already?”
