"A few days without seeing each other, and Feng Xiaozao seems much more distant from us."

Walking on a different path, Shang Jianyue suddenly said to Han Zhan.

"Isn’t that a good thing?" Han Zhan turned back, saying without a second thought.

At the same time, his eyes scanned Shang Jianyue up and down, confirming there were no cameras, photographic equipment, or recording devices.

"Only three days, generally people won’t change that much unless she has experienced or is experiencing something."

Shang Jianyue’s analysis was reasonable, but it had nothing to do with himself... Han Zhan thought of this, shaking his head, "We can’t control the trajectories of other people’s lives, Shang Jianyue."

"She’s an eighteen-year-old girl who has feelings for you, are you really indifferent?" Shang Jianyue asked.

"We can’t even control our own fate, let alone others’, right?" Han Zhan said without hesitation.

Hearing this answer, Shang Jianyue nodded slightly.

He somewhat regretfully turned off the recording device in his palm.

"I need to take Paradise 101 back to the gaming arena."

"There’s a pile of things waiting for me, today I just took some time off."

"Then, see you next time, keep in touch."

When Shang Jianyue said this, he raised his hand and tapped his ear.

Han Zhan understood.

"See you next time, keep in touch."

After parting with Shang Jianyue, Han Zhan looked back once more in the direction he came from.

In his mind, Shang Jianyue’s analytical words and the first meeting with Feng Xiaozao surfaced.

Unwarranted, a phrase flashed through his mind: Great tasks are given to those destined for them...

He withdrew his thoughts.

Continued to take the special car back to the Life Span Boxing Ring.

Came across Luo Heng and other squad members.

Upon seeing Han Zhan, Luo Heng waved at him, seeming a bit...excited?

"What’s up, did you find a life coin on the ground?"

Han Zhan joked.

Luo Heng had never heard such a joke, paused, "How could a life coin drop on the ground, what are you talking about."

Luo Heng shook his head, then immediately continued:

"While you were away, two things happened, you know that?"

Han Zhan wasn’t aware, so Luo Heng continued without pausing:

"The first thing, Luo Keyang, the boxing ring manager, was looking for you but couldn’t find you. So he found me, asking me to notify you."

"Congratulations, Han Zhan, you’ve been promoted directly from Level 1 Venue Assistant to Level 3 Venue Management. Now my team, including others, are under your management."

"Maybe we should use a different title, like Officer Han Zhan."

Han Zhan’s promotion was good news for Luo Heng.

At least from his attitude towards Han Zhan and their interaction over the past couple of days, even if not friends, they were more familiar with each other than others.

Han Zhan was not surprised by this appointment either.

When he decided to reveal his Shennong Cauldron talent, he predicted this day would come, sooner or later.

"What’s the second thing?" Han Zhan curiously asked.

"The second thing involves a person, someone you know, Luo Qiuhong from Sword Hero Star."

Luo Qiuhong?

Hearing this name piqued Han Zhan’s interest.

Luo Heng didn’t keep him in suspense, directly saying, "Luo Qiuhong reached an agreement with the Life Span Boxing Ring."

"She will offer an authority as a reward for the winner. And she cooperates with the Life Span Boxing Ring to start a brand new challenge mode."

"They call it the Ring Challenge Contest."

The rules of the Ring Challenge Contest are simple, with Luo Qiuhong as the defender, anyone can challenge her.

As long as they successfully defeat her, they can win the prize, an authority!

The rules are straightforward and the rewards are very tempting.

The appearance of any authority in the Star Domain would stir up a huge storm.

It is the key to becoming a god and has a deadly attraction to Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses.

The Life Span Boxing Ring had no reason to refuse cooperation with Luo Qiuhong.

They just lost a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse, Earthquake Star Weng Lu.

Luo Qiuhong voluntarily becoming the defender was advantageous.

With the allure and gimmick of authority, one could imagine how bustling the Life Span Boxing Ring would be next.

Han Zhan frowned upon hearing this.

Why is Luo Qiuhong doing this, what is her purpose?

An authority is equivalent to a third of a deity, such value in the Pure Beauty Paradise would surely be immense as well.

Hidden talents abound in Pure Beauty Paradise, is she so confident she can win continuously in the ring? What is her reliance?

Han Zhan’s mind quickly recalled the sword in Luo Qiuhong’s hand.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, there’s an additional rule regarding this new Ring Challenge Contest."

"No deities are allowed to sign up."

"...Seems like she’s not crazy," Han Zhan chuckled lightly.

After all, not every god becomes free of desires.

Authority, as the cornerstone of the great path, would surely attract the attention of even deities.

Luo Qiuhong’s additional rule was reasonable.

"Not crazy?"

"I feel like everyone’s going crazy."

"The challengers, the audience, and the defender, all crazy!"

Luo Heng said in an exaggerated tone.

This Ring Challenge Contest only started today during the day, taking place at Platform One.

Yet just in the morning, over five Tier Nine Ultimates signed up, with many still choosing to observe.

Luo Heng could swear, in all his time working at Pure Beauty Paradise, he hadn’t seen as many Tier Nine Ultimates as today.

In the stands of Platform One, the audience watching were in frenzy.

Even with several times the ticket price, watching five consecutive matches of Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouses was absolutely worth it.

As for Luo Qiuhong, she’s definitely the most insane one.

Because she consecutively battled five Tier Nine Ultimates with only short breaks in between.

That’s not the main point.

The main point is, she won them all!

Won!

"I told you, you were wrong; she’s incredibly strong, uniquely strong!"

At this moment, Xue Mei stepped out from the team, speaking up.

She has now completely become a fan of Luo Qiuhong, captivated by her strength.

Even though Han Zhan suddenly became her superior’s superior, it couldn’t shake her belief.

Luo Heng pulled her aside, signaling her to stop.

Han Zhan didn’t mind Xue Mei.

He was indeed curious about Luo Qiuhong’s purpose and her methods of defeating opponents consecutively.

"Is there more of Luo Qiuhong’s boxing matches now?"

Han Zhan asked Luo Heng.

The latter nodded, "Yes, in half an hour, it’s her sixth platform match."

"Our team bought a group ticket, just wanting to witness this strong individual firsthand."

"Do you want to join us?"

Luo Heng asked, inviting Han Zhan.

A group ticket?

Han Zhan glanced at the enthusiastic Luo Heng and then at the somewhat reluctant Xue Mei.

He nodded lightly, "Sure, let’s go together."
