In the tent, the people seated on the ground all wore serious expressions.

At this moment, Sun Li was like a leader, explaining the rules and precautions.

"Tomorrow morning, the teleportation will officially begin. Hopefully, you'll have good luck and be transported to a relatively safe place," she said. "The six of you can only bring one Rule Manual, which includes a map of the Secret Realm. Additionally, you cannot bring Storage Magical Treasures into the realm. If you have one, remember to hand it over tomorrow morning to be kept temporarily by Long Shuai. Although you can't bring Storage Magical Treasures, according to the rules of the Shi Wu Great Reef, each competing martial artist can bring two personal Magical Treasures or weapons."

In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.

Luo Xiu left the dormitory area alone and found a secluded spot to open the spatial entrance to the Land of Lawlessness. Since he couldn't bring a Storage Magical Treasure to the competition, he had no choice but to place the Holy Lotus Jade Pendant inside.

"Hey! What are you doing?" a sprightly shout suddenly came from behind a nearby rock.

Luo Xiu turned his head to see Sun Li sneaking around there. He wasn't surprised, as he had apparently expected her. He glanced at her and said, "Come in."

Unlike her cool, efficient CEO demeanor from earlier in the day, Sun Li now looked at the spatial entrance with mischievous curiosity. "What's this place for?"

"Consider it another dimension," he replied.

"Oh... Then why do you want me to go in?"

Luo Xiu smiled slightly. "Other than to sow some wild oats, what else is there to do?"

"Go to hell!" Sun Li's pretty face turned bright red. She stood with her hands on her hips, looking away. "The heck I will."

But Luo Xiu turned and jumped into the portal.

Sun Li hurried after him. "Hey, wait for me!"

Inside the Palace of the Dharma King, within the Land of Lawlessness, Luo Xiu lay in bed with Sun Li in his arms after giving her a thorough going-over, waiting for her to recover her strength.

"So, what's your situation now? You're acting like a leader," he said.

Humming proudly, Sun Li said, "I'm now an elite agent of the Audit Bureau. My presence here is actually to provide services for your competing team. You can call me the logistics officer."

"Hey, Xiu, where's my little aunt?"

"She... she's doing well. She's still in the Shanhai Territory and probably won't be out for a little while."

"I see. As long as she's fine."

Suddenly, Luo Xiu patted her thigh. "Come on then, Logistics Officer Sun. Climb on up yourself."

"I don't want to. I'm exhausted."

"But you won't be able to withstand my attack speed of four-per-second, either."

Hearing this, Sun Li's face turned pale. "No, I'll do it myself!"

After a long while, the two left the Land of Lawlessness and returned to the dormitory area. Luo Xiu was carrying a wok on his back and holding a hoe in his hand; these were the two Magical Treasures he was bringing to the competition.

"Hey, Xiu, how about you sleep in my tent tonight?"

"Forget it. There are too many people around, and I don't want to affect your career," he replied.

With a dry laugh and a roll of her eyes, Sun Li said, "I was just kidding, testing you a little." Pushing Luo Xiu away with a look of disgust, she added, "You stinky man, hurry back to your own tent and go to sleep. You've got a competition tomorrow!"

After ending his rendezvous with Sun Li, Luo Xiu returned to his own tent. Just as he was about to sleep, a sweet voice came from outside.

"Luo Xiu, are you asleep?"

Luo Xiu instantly recognized the voice as Xu Qianqing's.

"Uh... not yet."

Shortly afterward, the tent's zipper was pulled open, and a beautiful figure squeezed in, her soft, fragrant body plunging eagerly into Luo Xiu's arms.

"You haven't sent any messages in so long! I texted you and got no reply." With a look of grievance, Xu Qianqing pinched him hard.

Luo Xiu replied with an innocent face, "I was wandering in a Secret Realm. My phone had no signal."

"Oh, right," Xu Qianqing said, sticking out her tongue. "Hm? Why do you smell of perfume?"

Suddenly frowning, Xu Qianqing seemed to sense something and stared at Luo Xiu suspiciously.

Scratching his head, Luo Xiu chuckled awkwardly.

"You've met Xiao Li, haven't you?" Xu Qianqing felt a sourness in her heart as she said, "This is her perfume."

"Yeah, I just saw her."

"Did you two... do it?"

"Well, about that... how should I put it..."

"Hmph, you player!" Xu Qianqing chided sweetly.

Luo Xiu asked with a laugh, "You know full well I'm a player, so why are you still willingly snuggling up to me?"

Xu Qianqing rolled her eyes. "Well, what can I do? Some of us women are just as bad deep down. Besides, I don't need you to take any responsibility or give me any status. I just want to satisfy myself."

Luo Xiu used two fingers to pinch her chin, lifting her exquisitely beautiful face. He stared at her tender red lips and said with a naughty smile, "Back when we first met in Sea City, how come I never noticed how wanton you, a married woman, could be?"

"You're the wanton one," Xu Qianqing pouted and slapped him lightly. "So, are we doing it or not?"

"Here?"

"They're all asleep. I snuck out to find you. Don't worry, I'll just keep my voice down."

「The next morning.」

Luo Xiu stepped out of his tent, his back and waist sore all over. Sun Li and Xu Qianqing had taken turns with him, and he had almost failed to keep up. Once a woman reaches that voracious age, she's a true juice-extracting machine!

After tidying up and changing into Team Hua Country's competition attire, Lin Jianlong, the coach, and Sun Li, the logistics officer, led the six-member team out of the dormitory area. After crossing a gorge, they arrived at a salt flat that had been dry for many years.

At this moment, the salt flat was already filled with competitors from various countries. Outside the salt flat was a dense crowd of people, all of them martial artists and cultivators from different nations.

In the middle of the flat, four elders sat cross-legged in a square formation, having joined forces to activate a teleportation array. The participating teams from various countries queued up to enter it, one after another, to be transported to an unknown location.

As Team Hua Country arrived, the crowd immediately broke into a commotion.

"Look, it's Chu Xierou, the young miss of the Capital Chu Family—my goddess!"

"Look, look! That's the Proud Sun Sect's princess, Zhang Yi! She's also a celebrity in the secular world. I love her songs, especially 'My Xiu'—it's so good!"

"Isn't that the third young miss of the Henghai Ye Family? Is she really this beautiful in person? With such an extraordinary and ethereal demeanor, she's like an immortal swordswoman from another world! She is the pride of us Henghai folk!"

"Still, I prefer our Xianyin Valley's young miss, Su Shanyue. Look how gentle she is; now that's a real fairy!"

"Hah! Can any of them compare to Henghai's richest woman? My President Lin is talented in both liberal arts and martial arts. She's beautiful, wealthy, and has incredible Martial Way talent. She's a true darling of the heavens!"

Watching the five exceptionally beautiful women, many of the young martial artists who had come for the spectacle fell into an uncontrollable state of fanaticism. Sun Li felt helpless and had to maintain order with some agents from the Audit Bureau.

"Speaking of which, the lineup Hua Country sent this time is really luxurious. It's a top-tier squad!"

"These five beauties are all geniuses of the younger generation. There's no way they won't take the championship this time!"

"But who's that guy with glasses? Carrying a wok on his back and holding a hoe... he looks like an idiot."

"Alas, it's just five fresh flowers being followed by a pile of cow dung."

"Actually, I kind of envy him, getting to compete alongside five goddesses."

"Envy what? A substitute is just there for the grunt work and hard labor."

Hearing the discussions of the gossiping onlookers nearby, Luo Xiu really wanted to throw the wok and hoe away.

"Yueyue, you can do it!"

"Xiao Xue, Grandpa and Grandma are waiting outside for your good news! Make Hua Country proud!"

"Xiao Yi, it's all up to you this time!"

At that moment, several familiar faces squeezed through the crowd and came to the front of the team. They were Su Shanyue's mentor, Granny Miaoyu; Zhang Yi's mentor, Li Chaoqun; and Ye Ningxue's grandparents. Xu Qianqing's grandfather, Chu Aoran, and her father, Chu Tianming, were also present. Clearly, they were all there to cheer on their darlings.

Luo Xiu suddenly thought of his parents and family far away in the Upper Realm, feeling a bit lost for a moment. The feeling of having a family is really nice. Mom, Dad, brother, and sister... I will definitely come to the Upper Realm to find you, and our family will be reunited!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the six members of Team Hua Country walked into the teleportation array. With a flash of spiritual light, they vanished as if they had evaporated.

"Go, Hua Country!"

"Hua Country, for the championship!"

All the Hua Country martial artists on site raised their arms and shouted, their faces filled with pride.
