「Back Mountain Entrance.」

Adorned in azure robes with a handsome countenance, Luo Yuan strode in, hands clasped behind his back and a smile on his face, exuding an air of familiarity with the place.

Upon entering the territory of the Celestial One Daoist Sect, he made his way towards the Great Hall.

The players were all engrossed in watching the competition, so nobody noticed his arrival.

And Luo Yuan? Seeing the players gathered together, curiosity got the better of him. He approached and stood beside a few players, watching with a smile.

"It's a pity, Old Mo ultimately lost."

"Who would have thought that Dung Beetle and the members of the Ao Xiang Squad could actually emerge victorious."

"Old Mo conceded voluntarily. Does that mean Dung Beetle becomes first by default? The remaining three are all from the Ao Xiang Squad."

"So you're saying Dung Beetle is first?"

"..."

Indeed, in this battle, Old Mo had no way to win. His battle with Iron-blooded War Hero had been too draining. He had no chance of fighting again. Facing Dung Beetle, his odds of winning were too slim. This time, the rules did not allow him to return after Reincarnation; otherwise, he would have been first.

Dung Beetle, a smile plastered across his face, seemed to have never expected to win so easily. It seemed he hadn't even taken action in the Top Ten battles.

So, did I just win by doing nothing?

"Boss, you won!"

"Yeah, Boss, we've really made a name for ourselves this time!"

"The Ao Xiang Squad is invincible! Who will dare call us a ragtag team after this?"

"No need to fight anymore. The boss has already won. You two can compete for second and third place."

"..."

At this moment, the Ao Xiang Squad members were already acting with feigned modesty. Their expressions were indeed infuriatingly smug.

Dung Beetle also received the reward he coveted: a legendary Bloodline!

[Congratulations to player Dung Beetle for winning the championship of the first Open Martial Arts Tournament!]

[Congratulations to player Dung Beetle for obtaining the legendary bloodline: Sharingan!]

"What the hell, Sharingan?!"

Dung Beetle was utterly stunned when he saw the reward.

I thought the reward would be an auxiliary-type bloodline, like the ones Adorable Xianxian and the others got. But it seems that's not the case. Sharingan! This is a bloodline limit that can eventually be upgraded to Rinnegan! This game's rewards are insane!

"Boss, I got the Corpse Bone Vein bloodline limit!"

"I got the Ice Shield Bloodline Limit!"

One Blade 999 and Output Relies on Shouting also obtained bloodline limits.

According to the game's settings, the bloodlines they obtained were Epic-grade, while the rewards for the other Top Ten players were Special-type bloodlines. These were similar to the bloodlines Adorable Xianxian and the others had.

It seems that in this game, bloodline limits are ranked higher than special bloodlines. We're taking off!

"Let's go! Let's head to the Demon Beast Forest and get familiar with our new bloodline powers!" Dung Beetle immediately led the Ao Xiang Squad towards the Demon Beast Forest.

Everyone else looked on with envy. Such rewards made them intensely envious. Unfortunately, their own power meant that envy alone was useless. For now, all they could do was try their luck in the lottery or claim Secondary Profession skill books. Of course, only the Top 100 players had this privilege.

Flourishing Flowers, seeing he still had one lottery chance left, turned to Ru Yu with a smile. "Wait here. I'll go try my luck and be right back. If I get something good, it's yours."

After saying that, he went off with the others to try their luck. With the competition over, it was best for everyone to focus on boosting their power sooner rather than later.

The passing players were too preoccupied with their own affairs to notice Luo Yuan.

Lin Chen watched the Profound Yellow Sect disciples with envy, then turned to ask, "Brother Jun, if you win, do you really get ancient bloodlines?"

Bloodlines! They're just as terrifying as special constitutions. His Lin Family had someone with a special constitution: his younger sister possessed the legendary Profound Moon Yin Body. When she cultivated on the night of a full moon, one night was equivalent to a whole year of progress. Now, his sister was already at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and many major sects were vying to recruit her as a disciple. And now? Here in the Profound Yellow Sect, bloodlines on par with special constitutions could be obtained so easily! This is simply the work of an Immortal!

Junlin nodded slightly. "I obtained the Nether Bloodline. It allows me to communicate with the Nether and borrow a wisp of its power!"

Although it's not as good as the Dark Body from the Black Immortal Art, it's still very suitable for an assassin, he thought.

Old Mo chuckled. "I have the Immovable Bright King Body. For me, it just means a little boost in defense."

Both were well aware of the terrifying power their new constitutions and bloodlines offered. Once mastered, they would be formidable assets. Previously, five newcomers had relied on their constitutions and bloodlines to beat Junlin so thoroughly that he had to concede defeat, despite them being just newcomers. Now that they also possessed such special constitutions, how could they not be excited? Power was what they all pursued.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Chen grew more and more envious.

I want a constitution like that too, he thought, but it's clear I have no chance. The Profound Yellow Sect would never let me join. I talked to Junlin about this before, but he told me to give up. The Profound Yellow Sect isn't recruiting disciples anytime soon, and even if they were, they wouldn't recruit Non-player Characters like me.

"Eh? Where did this NPC come from?" Old Mo noticed Luo Yuan standing beside the Teleportation Array and looked surprised.

The players hadn't invited many outsiders, and those they did invite were all familiar faces. This person obviously wasn't invited by the players.

Could he have come from outside on his own?

Immediately, everyone approached and surrounded Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan stood before the Teleportation Array, his eyes filled with shock and amazement as he scrutinized the subtle runes on the ground.

How is this possible? Why would a Teleportation Array be constructed like this? It defies logic! Wouldn't such a construction risk collapse? Yet, this Teleportation Array doesn't require Spiritual Stones to activate. Truly bizarre! Even I can't construct a Teleportation Array. Who on earth built this? An Array Grandmaster?

Luo Yuan's eyes shone with excitement as he studied the array by himself. The array's markings were simple; he could even sketch them himself. However, perfectly replicating its function was beyond him.

The Profound Yellow Sect truly has secrets I don't know. Even I couldn't successfully construct such an array.

"Who are you?" Elder Mo stared at Luo Yuan with an unfriendly expression and asked.

Luo Yuan, snapping back to his senses, looked at them. He recognized a few of these people.

This young man asking the question... he seems similar to the one who called down the thunder punishment back then... No! That's not it! He must be the one who invoked the thunder! Just as I thought! The disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect don't truly die; they continue to exist in different forms. Is this the law of Reincarnation? Could the Profound Yellow Sect have ties to Fengdu City?

"I am Luo Yuan. Greetings to all fellow Daoists!" Luo Yuan greeted them with a smile.

Luo Yuan... that name sounds familiar? Junlin and his team paused, feeling as though they'd heard the name somewhere but couldn't quite recall where.

Instead, Lin Chen, standing beside them, exclaimed in shock, "You're Luo Yuan, the one ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List?!"

The Hidden Dragon List? Killing Array Luo Yuan? Junlin and his team were somewhat perplexed.

Luo Yuan replied with a puzzled smile, "I've been gone for so many years, and I'm still first on the Hidden Dragon List?"

"The youngest Formation Master, the youngest the world has ever seen! And potentially the youngest Array Master in the future!" Lin Chen said excitedly. "Rumor had it that you entered Haoran Academy in the Central Domain. I never imagined you'd be here in the Northern Wilderness, let alone at the Profound Yellow Sect!"

Seeing Lin Chen's reaction, Junlin and his team were somewhat taken aback.

Is this Luo Yuan fellow really famous? they wondered. Does that mean he's an NPC worth investing in? Should we take a gamble on him?

"Lin Chen, what's this Hidden Dragon List about? Explain it to us properly." Elder Mo seemed interested.

The others also turned to look at Lin Chen, seemingly curious.

Lin Chen explained, "The Hidden Dragon List is a ranking of the most talented disciples in the world under the age of thirty. The weakest among them are at the Golden Core Realm."

As he said this, his eyes were filled with envy and desire.

But for us players, this list doesn't seem very useful, they thought. It's not as practical as our own Combat Power List...
