Mu Yawen's playstyle in the competition was very laid-back.

He hadn't considered rankings or rewards at all.

Having followed Zhou Yue in an aggressive assault on the top-secret Ascension Base recently, Mu Yawen's skills were actually much better than before.

He still wasn't good with guns, but his use of the shield-type Cultivator, Deep Blue, was truly exquisite.

After ten days of competition, his assets had reached nearly 30 million.

This was despite the fact that he was never greedy, usually only looting the leftovers from his teammates.

When Zhong Yi occasionally advised him to take a bit more, he would always give a simple smile, saying his teammates often claimed to be broke and needed the money more than he did.

Zhong Yi knew very well that those who could be matched with Mu Yawen were definitely not broke.

However, he never pointed it out.

He always felt that Mu Yawen's simple, jade-like kindness was more precious than any Spirit Stone.

So, when Mu Yawen's name appeared in the same match as Lu Ze's, Zhong Yi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

“Hahaha, Lingxiao Sect's Ultimate Good versus Lingxiao Sect's Ultimate Evil? Hahahaha!!”

Beside him, Zhou Qiaoling couldn't help but double over in laughter.

Even Li Moran, who had remained silent, couldn't resist a slight upward curve at the corners of her mouth.

Ultimate Good versus Ultimate Evil?

Zhong Yi blinked.

That's right, it really did feel that way!

“This is bad! If it comes down to mind games, Junior Brother Mu is going to be played to death...”

Zhou Yue said with a dark expression.

“I hope they don't run into each other...”

Zhong Yi nodded helplessly. The screen began to switch back and forth between Mu Yawen and Lu Ze, and then his eyes lit up.

“That's great!”

“Junior Brother Mu's spawn point is in front of the Tower of Babel... while Junior Brother Lu spawned in Cherry Town!”

“It looks like they won't run into each other!”

...

...

Lu Ze's Illusion Realm world.

“Cherry Town...”

Lu Ze sized up his spawn location.

The top-left corner of the map, at the very edge.

It was also a Holy Land for Knife-Run ratties.

Of course, Lu Ze wasn't here for a Knife-Run.

He was here to earn First Saint Points.

Walking forward, there was the Treasure Pavilion.

In all of Baksh, it was the richest place besides Baksh itself—the map's second core area. There would definitely be several teams fighting there.

Lu Ze didn't want to participate in a multi-team chaotic battle.

If he encountered three people together, he would inevitably have to show off his marksmanship.

If he made a mistake and performed too fiercely, it might affect the Righteous Cultivators' perception of him.

If he pulled off a one-versus-three with headshots, the Righteous Cultivators would think he was too powerful.

If he died, they would think he was too weak.

Either evaluation could potentially reduce his 'First Saint Points,' which was his mission progress bar.

“I have to play the 'ambush' style...”

Lu Ze yawned, turned around, and headed toward the Great Bathhouse.

If he had chosen Vyron, he could have used several'Spider-Man' spots to ambush people and harvest 'First Saint Points.'

For example, the golden statue in front of the Treasure Pavilion's main entrance, the window ledge at the back door, or even this big tree in the center of Cherry Town...

Unfortunately, he had chosen Red Wolf again this round.

Red Wolf's 'Flower-Come' was the most simple and effective, and it wasn't very dependent on the terrain.

He rushed to the Great Bathhouse, confirmed no one was inside, found a crate at the corner of the inner hallway, and stealthily climbed up...

...

The Lingxiao Sect viewing area.

Countless eyes were fixed on the central match screen.

Because two Lingxiao Sect True Disciples had appeared in the same match!

As the commentator, Zhong Yi constantly switched the camera between Mu Yawen and Lu Ze.

“Junior Brother Mu chose the shield-type Cultivator, Deep Blue. This is his specialty... the strongest shield in the Lingxiao Sect!”

“Junior Brother Lu chose the Gilded Rose, Red Wolf, again. This is his, uh... anyway, he's very formidable!”

“Junior Brother Mu's squad chose to use a talisman to enter the tower directly... the squad on the other side also used a talisman to open the door! It seems both sides have a strong desire for combat...”

“On Junior Brother Lu's side, uh...”

When the camera switched to Lu Ze, Zhong Yi's throat suddenly went dry.

The familiar black-clothed, golden-masked Red Wolf, the familiar 【Zishu 12】, and the familiar way he curled into a ball and lay prone on the spot...

Lu Ze was on top of a cabinet in the corner of the hallway.

Since ancient times, Cultivators never look up. Most people coming in wouldn't notice this position and would walk straight to the loot points ahead to 'eat.'

Without even thinking, another grand performance of Flower-Come was about to begin...

“True Disciple Zhong, look a bit less at that Rebellious Disciple of mine... look more at True Disciple Mu, what a good child he is!”

Nangong Yuan walked over and whispered quietly into Zhong Yi's ear.

Zhong Yi understood perfectly.

It seemed Elder Nangong could no longer save Face...

The screen switched to inside the Tower of Babel, where Mu Yawen's squad was currently in a fierce battle.

“Junior Brother Mu's team has a Star Cultivator... Junior Brother Mu's shield cultivation is superb. When powerhouses join forces, their comprehensive strength is very high!”

“The scene is almost one-sided! The Vyron on the opposing side fell the moment they met... It's good to be young! He went straight to sleep!”

“Wait a minute... there's a team tailing Junior Brother Mu's squad!”

“The tailing team also has a Star Cultivator!”

“A showdown between two Star Cultivators? This battle in the tower is getting exciting!!”

While Zhong Yi was commentating enthusiastically, a Disciple in the rear area suddenly asked in confusion:

“There are three Star Cultivators in one match, where's the other one?”

At this question, Zhou Yue, who was next to Zhong Yi, immediately began to stifle a laugh.

“The other one...”

Zhong Yi's breath hitched. Just then, a new kill notification popped up in the top right corner:

【Realm Master Lu Ze has knocked down Greedy Little ratty Xinxin!】

Zhong Yi instinctively switched the camera and just happened to see Lu Ze crushing a golden rose as the familiar BGM started playing again:

♪ As longing flies through the night sky... ♪

...

“...”

Zhong Yi instantly switched the camera back to the Tower of Babel, his mouth twitching violently.

“A battle between two Star Cultivators is enough; three would be too chaotic...”

...

...

The battle inside the Tower of Babel was particularly intense.

Lu Ze's running figure was equally intense.

He very skillfully ran all the way to the Treasure Pavilion and found a patch of grass to lie prone in.

“Strange, were all the people matched in this round battle maniacs?”

Lu Ze muttered under his breath.

Currently, two teams were fighting fiercely in the Treasure Pavilion, and from the sounds of it, a winner would be decided soon.

The gunfire from the distant Tower of Babel was even more intense; it was likely a three-team melee.

Adding in the Mai Xiaowen he had just ambushed in the bathhouse, who was a solo Knife-Run ratty.

The positions of everyone on the field were now clear.

Lu Ze watched the victorious squad hurriedly exit the Treasure Pavilion. He aimed his 【Zishu 18】 at their legs, then gently picked it up and put it down.

Although a single pistol was enough to wipe out the team.

He didn't intend to do that.

Even if he only shot their legs, a one-versus-three would be too exaggerated.

It would inevitably affect his first saint reputation.

“Looking at their direction... they're going to the tower to third-party the fight?”

“The Treasure Pavilion's switch wasn't pulled, which means...”

“In the end, only one team will be extracting in front of the tower?”

Lu Ze said to himself.

He looked down at the black-gold hand-cannon Magical Artifact on his wrist, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

He seemed to suddenly remember,

Exactly why he had ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ chosen Red Wolf to enter the Tower of Babel...
