"The Spiritually-controlled Mech Dueling Tournament has begun! "
"Who can sell me a place in the tournament?"
"The Ten-thousand-ton Copper Sphere!"
"The two stupid c*nts up there! The Basic Cultivation of the Spirit needs to be complete in order to register, and only 1 place per person. No borrowing, and no selling!"
Fang Ning wandered around the forum venue, internally smug. While most were busy worrying about how they were going to fit the application requirements, his Dragonic Penitentiary had 1200 highly-cultivated criminals. Under Anderson's loving education, they practiced day and night, and now he already had achieved the tournament requirements of more than 400 people.
Of course, he was too lazy to care about them and so unloaded all the responsibility on Anderson. Oh yeah, Anderson was called Gou An Yi Yu in the game Battle of the Beasts.
When the tournament began that day, Fang Ning ate the jellybeans stolen from the Preservation Area and secretly watched the live broadcast online during work hours while crossing his legs one over the other. Oh no, it was the Sweetening Vitality-increasing Pills.
Constant consumption of Vitality Pills can replenish vital energy and strengthen one's soul, but the original has no taste…
He had convinced Sir System to add some medicinal herbs with high vitality levels which could make his soul taste the sweetness, claiming it aided digestion.
Now Sir System had cultivated the Dragonization Ability to legendary level, the evolution of its dragon form in the initial stage. The basic attribute of its body had heightened and he had acquired a talent 'Highest IQ', which had the effect of raising the host's Vitality Respiration Ability to double-S level, as well as his speed in practicing the Trueness Cultivation Ability to 200 percent.
Coincidentally, the Dragonization Ability was a Trueness Cultivation Ability. In order to initiate this skill effect, one had to learn the Vitality Respiration.
Now that his body was controlled by Sir System, Fang Ning's soul lingered in the System Space. There was no Vitality here, and so he had to consume Vitality Pills to replenish his resources.
"The Spiritually-controlled Mech A-level Tournament is held on the 15th of March 2018. There are 20 teams competing, and because there is no home or visiting venues, it will be a single-cycle tournament. Every team will fight a match with another. With 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, the team with the highest aggregate points wins. Each team consists of 5 people, that is the lead-fighter, the second fighter, the central fighter, the fourth fighter and the end fighter."
"The rules are such that 3 wins in 5 matches will net you a pass to the next stage. The match venue is kept secret. Our audiences can see that there are 10 fighting rings in the middle of the live feed. Every ring contains two opposing teams that are now competing. Everyone can choose a ring to watch."
The team Fang Ning watched was naturally the one where Anderson was a member - the Tianyuan team. This was a team assembled by a family in the country. Anderson's monthly salary was now 500 thousand and he would pocket all of it.
Their first opponent was the Qiankun team. Every team had a name even more grand than.
Anderson was the central fighter; the lead fighter was Ma Dechun, the second Feng Gensheng, the fourth Chen Tianxiao and the end fighter the heir of the family- Ma Shaotian, also the leader and the sponsor.
That was right. This team was Fang Ning's starting team. Since 4 out of 5 in the team inhabited his prison, the money earned was his. It must be said, however, that Chen Tianxiao was a person who bullied the weak but feared the tough. In other words, he was expendable. After realizing the truth, knowing that he did not have Qi Mei's background and no one would ever pay a high price to bail him out, he had immediately learned humility. He was only held in the isolated cells for a day before talking. He probably hoped to leave one day.
Well, Anderson will teach him what it meant by entering the Penitentiary and never seeing the light of day again.
To Fang Ning, this was a Pond-level master whose power was comparable to Anderson's.
Just slaying him would be a waste. They would wring him out and give the money he earned as offerings to him and Sir System. That would be the most suitable punishment, since simply killing him would be too merciful…
Out of the 5 Spiritually-controlled Mechs, 2 were Pond-level Masters. The other team were all only Cutlery-level or Mug-level. At least 2 wins are guaranteed, and the other 3 would depend on luck.
In the first match, two Tall Mechs, one red and one white started to fight - a purely fistfighting one.
"Damn, Ma Dechun is an old man. He is not good at this spirit-fighting game."
Fang Ning watched speechless as the red mech was knocked out by the other. He shook his head helplessly.
"Old Ma also has his Spring. Loss!"
"Bryophyllum Pinnatum. Loss!"
With two back-to-back losses, the leader was obviously unhappy.
He said with irritation, "Great Gou, are these the great people you invited? Why are they such trash?"
Anderson replied, "I apologize. In another week, one will be completing training. I can invite him here and give you an easy win."
"Gou An Yi Yu deals the opponent an instant kill!"
"Tian Tian Xiao Duo Huo Wu Miao deals his opponent an instant kill!"
Two continuous instant kills. This, at last, made the leader feel better. He also had the ability, or he would not have dared take up the mantle.
"Tian Sheng Hen Da wins."
"Team Tianyuan wins their first round. They have earned 3 points."
Fang Ning finished watching the live broadcast with interest. And then, a certain Sir System opened its mouth.
The System said, "Host, can Anderson be given a pay rise now? "
Fang Ning was speechless. "Don't just think about money. Nurture the market, okay. Don't keep fleecing this sheep until it's bald."
The System said, "Host, you have only watched from start to end. Why didn't you go up there and show off a little?"
Fang Ning rolled his eyes. "I am the boss and controller behind the scene, all right. I can't go up there to work. I am in charge of setting the goals, setting the mission, being the captain…"
The System replied, "Then I think I can be the captain. Just let me be in charge of Anderson."
Fang Ning heard this. 'This bastard wants to rebel. It needs to be put in his place.'
"Do you know the excitement of being a player? Do you know how the tournament should go so it would be stimulating? Do you know how to nurture the market?"
The System continued, "As long as Anderson knows…"
Fang Ning though, 'Even worse. It wants to step over me, the employer.'
He had been prepared for this for quite a while, since this bastard had expressed such an interest before. He said immediately, "Didn't you say something like this before? If you did something that disregarded the rules of Dao, then your chivalrous level would drop. To be honest with you, I have a very big plan: to monopolize the entire Spiritually-controlled Mech Tournament. For all 20 teams, I would use my prisoners…"
The System was surprised. "Oh, I got it. You, the host, wants to cheat? When did you become so corrupted… Befriending good people makes you good, and being together with me, the Vigilante System didn't help you in learning chivalry at all. I must've not educated you enough."
Fang Ning was speechless. "What cheating? This is called serving the public audience better. Like this Tianyuan team, they always beat everyone. What's the fun in watching that? You know, at the European Championship group stage, they would often put equivalent-strength teams together. Like that one, we would have to balance every team's power. We just need to make it exciting as well as leave the audience hanging, and surprising everyone. You with your Vigilante System can't do that, can you?"
The System finally backed down. "Of course not, I am not as calculating as you humans."
Fang Ning nodded with satisfaction. "As long as you know it. No one knows that this tournament has already become my ATM machine."
The System said, "You are truly smart, Billionaire Host. I 'll go and farm stronger souls to train."
Fang Ning waved his hand. "Go on. In another month we would have a lot of money in our coffers."
…
Azure Mountain, in a certain cave home.
A gorgeous woman, whose large protruding belly did not spoil her utter beauty, was sitting within her curtains, a man and a woman in front of her. "Sister Zhu, that's how it will be. Please give your permission," pleaded the woman – Qi Hui – who had a gentle gaze in a soft tone.
The classic beauty was Tian Zhu. Her face was cool and calm as she smoothed her hand over her belly, saying lightly, "I can agree, but your sister's memories have to be wiped in order for her to be reborn into my baby's body. If not, I cannot help you."
Qi Hui looked reluctant. She glanced at her husband, a gentle, kind-looking man like a good gentleman.
Shang Ruoyu, the younger brother of Shang Qingshan.
Shang Ruoyu thought for a while, then pulled out a pig carved from white jade.
Tian Zhu's expression changed slightly. She sensed carefully before calming down. "Where did you get this Heavenly Sow Carving?"
Shang Ruoyu placed the jade carving on the table, saying placidly, "Sister Zhu, with this you can probably find the person who betrayed you a decade ago. Will you allow our Mei to be reborn with her memories?"
Tian Zhu seemed conflicted, but then shook her head. "He did not betray me; he only went to make the world peaceful. Now that he's famous and powerful, I just have to leave the mountain and I can find him within 3 days. My baby, however, cannot be taken, or I will be ashamed to meet him."
Qi Hui pulled at her husband's shirt and he got up to leave. They left the carving.
Tian Zhu did not ask him to take it either.
Shang Ruoyu and his wife returned home to a beautiful valley planted with many flowers.
"Sigh, I didn't expect her to take her baby so seriously. What charm did that mysterious man have to make her not let him go? Those demons never care about feelings yet she wanted to keep his baby?" Shang Ruoyu sighed.
Qi Hui meandered among the flower bushes. She lowered her head and said a while later, "Maybe we can ask help from your brother again?"
Shang Ruoyu's expression changed. He looked towards the skies before saying, "Don't mention it again. He's always been cold, and as the leader in the arcane realm, he is now fusing with the Heavenly Axiom of this realm. He doesn't care for right and wrong, or relatives and strangers, but only for the operation and development of the Heavenly Axiom.
"If I ask him again, I would exhaust whatever affection he has for me. That should be saved for the next time our life is endangered. Mei did not die, and she got lucky because of this misfortune: her nature has changed. We can let her learn the Spirit Path. Out of the 365 core students, there are a few Spirit Kings. Giving her a companion in this is possible."
Qi Hui shook her head. Her gaze was conflicted as she looked at her husband. "Don't you know her feelings? She's been taught by you, and she would never agree to having a Spirit King as a path companion. Only when she has been reborn into a Heavenly Swine can she quickly brotherQiure-cultivate into a human."
Shang Ruoyu sighed. "What can we do now? Tian Zhu is the guardian spirit of the mountain and cannot be forced. Her power is above us, and her baby is already assured to be the next guardian spirit. If we fight with her, once the baby is hurt, my brother will never support us."
Shang Ruoyu's head hurt with all the thinking. Even a Lake-level Master will find being trapped between a spoilt sister-in-law and a gentle wife difficult to handle. In this Azure Mountain, the only person who can throw his weight around was his oldest brother. Then, a voice came from afar. "Brother and Sister, you don't need to worry. I am willing to help. With our combined power, as well as using the Three Greats, Heaven, Earth and Human formation, dealing with the Heavenly Swine will be more than enough. We will not hurt the baby. Just like Brother said, the Master of the Mountain is almost reaching the Heavenly Axiom, and as long as the next guardian spirit is not harmed, he won't care."a Chinese idiom meaning taking a small area to stay alivea term in the I Ching meaning sky and earth - or male and femaleChuntian literally means Spring in ChineseOriginally 落地生根(pronunciation: luò dì shēng gēn) .

In another month we would have a lot of money in our coffers."Azure Mountain, in a certain cave home.A gorgeous woman, whose large protruding belly did not spoil her utter beauty, was sitting within her curtains, a man and a woman in front of her. "Sister Zhu, that's how it will be. Please give your permission," pleaded the woman Qi Hui who had a gentle gaze in a soft tone.The classic beauty was Tian Zhu. Her face was cool and calm as she smoothed her hand over her belly, saying lightly, "I can agree, but your sister's memories have to be wiped in order for her to be reborn into my baby's body. If not, I cannot help you."Qi Hui looked reluctant. She glanced at her husband, a gentle, kind-looking man like a good gentleman.Shang Ruoyu, the younger brother of Shang Qingshan.Shang Ruoyu thought for a while, then pulled out a pig carved from white jade.Tian Zhu's expression changed slightly. She sensed carefully before calming down. "Where did you get this Heavenly Sow Carving?"Shang Ruoyu placed the jade carving on the table, saying placidly, "Sister Zhu, with this you can probably find the person who betrayed you a decade ago. Will you allow our Mei to be reborn with her memories?"Tian Zhu seemed conflicted, but then shook her head. "He did not betray me; he only went to make the world peaceful. Now that he's famous and powerful, I just have to leave the mountain and I can find him within 3 days. My baby, however, cannot be taken, or I will be ashamed to meet him."Qi Hui pulled at her husband's shirt and he got up to leave. They left the carving.Tian Zhu did not ask him to take it either.Shang Ruoyu and his wife returned home to a beautiful valley planted with many flowers."Sigh, I didn't expect her to take her baby so seriously. What charm did that mysterious man have to make her not let him go? Those demons never care about feelings yet she wanted to keep his baby?" Shang Ruoyu sighed.Qi Hui meandered among the flower bushes. She lowered her head and said a while later, "Maybe we can ask help from your brother again?"Shang Ruoyu's expression changed. He looked towards the skies before saying, "Don't mention it again. He's always been cold, and as the leader in the arcane realm, he is now fusing with the Heavenly Axiom of this realm. He doesn't care for right and wrong, or relatives and strangers, but only for the operation and development of the Heavenly Axiom."If I ask him again, I would exhaust whatever affection he has for me. That should be saved for the next time our life is endangered. Mei did not die, and she got lucky because of this misfortune: her nature has changed. We can let her learn the Spirit Path. Out of the 365 core students, there are a few Spirit Kings. Giving her a companion in this is possible."Qi Hui shook her head. Her gaze was conflicted as she looked at her husband. "Don't you know her feelings? She's been taught by you, and she would never agree to having a Spirit King as a path companion. Only when she has been reborn into a Heavenly Swine can she quickly brotherQiure-cultivate into a human."Shang Ruoyu sighed. "What can we do now? Tian Zhu is the guardian spirit of the mountain and cannot be forced. Her power is above us, and her baby is already assured to be the next guardian spirit. If we fight with her, once the baby is hurt, my brother will never support us."Shang Ruoyu's head hurt with all the thinking. Even a Lake-level Master will find being trapped between a spoilt sister-in-law and a gentle wife difficult to handle. In this Azure Mountain, the only person who can throw his weight around was his oldest brother. Then, a voice came from afar. "Brother and Sister, you don't need to worry. I am willing to help. With our combined power, as well as using the Three Greats, Heaven, Earth and Human formation, dealing with the Heavenly Swine will be more than enough. We will not hurt the baby. Just like Brother said, the Master of the Mountain is almost reaching the Heavenly Axiom, and as long as the next guardian spirit is not harmed, he won't care."a Chinese idiom meaning taking a small area to stay alivea term in the I Ching meaning sky and earth - or male and femaleChuntian literally means Spring in ChineseOriginally pronunciation: lu d shng gn .
