 **Chapter 1524: Smart People Use the Rules**

Lin Moyu's words were very domineering. His tone was calm, but it made people have to admit that Lin Moyu indeed had the strength.

Even though Zhuang Bi had never seen Lin Moyu go all out, he knew that he was far from being Lin Moyu's match.

Even if all restrictions were lifted and he went all out, the result would not change.

Not only him, but Dongfang Ze and Qing Fei would also be the same.

In fact, Lin Moyu had another thing he didn't say: although the round-robin tournament wouldn't result in real death, it was more terrifying than actual death.

Even if you received a fatal attack, you wouldn't die, but you would experience the same sensations as death.

Except for the result, the entire process was the same.

During the 30 days of the round-robin tournament, some people might experience many life-and-death situations.

If their willpower wasn't strong enough, they might have a mental breakdown.

If they could endure it, their willpower would be greatly strengthened, which would be extremely beneficial for their future cultivation. This was also one of the purposes of the round-robin tournament. It seemed very cruel, but it was also very necessary.

The human race not only needed geniuses and powerful warriors but also needed warriors who were fearless of death.

The round-robin tournament was still ongoing, and the Human Emperor Network controlled the formation, simulating mountains, rivers, seas, the sun, moon, and stars.

There were day and night, secret realms, and star seas.

Each arena had its own characteristics.

The contestants moved within, and due to the rules, they couldn't stay in one place for long, so there was no rest time. The arena was large, but the Human Emperor Network made it feel small.

It was as if an invisible force was constantly controlling the direction of each contestant's movement.

They often met quickly and then fought.

Few people noticed this.

Especially the contestants within, who had no sense of it at all.

Only Lin Moyu vaguely felt that there was a force within the formation, invisibly affecting the judgment of their souls, causing the contestants to move closer to each other.

"Those involved are confused. If they could see this, they might turn from prey to hunter."

"Unfortunately, without a soul at the Beyond the Shore level, it's impossible to sense it."

Xu Jianxing encountered another opponent, whose number was 452, slightly higher than his but not by much.

Their strengths were evenly matched, but Xu Jianxing had seen the opponent's information and knew his characteristics.

After a fierce battle, Xu Jianxing emerged victorious.

The opponent was severely injured and then teleported away by the formation.

Xu Jianxing didn't stay in place but immediately left.

He didn't know how many people were in his arena, so he had to remain vigilant at all times.

Day and night changed, and Xu Jianxing walked for a day and a night without encountering any enemies.

He checked the leaderboard and saw that he was ranked 57th with 102 points.

Half a day ago, he was ranked around 30th with the same 102 points, but now he had dropped to 57th.

Ahead, he saw flashes of white light and then a teleportation gate.

Unknowingly, he had reached the edge of the battlefield.

He didn't know what kind of world lay beyond the teleportation gate.

But he knew what he had to do. After taking a deep breath, Xu Jianxing walked into the teleportation gate.

He heard the sounds of intense fighting, the roar of laws, and the clash of magical artifacts.

His vision restored in 0.1 seconds, faster than any previous teleportation.

Xu Jianxing saw two people engaged in a fierce battle. He recognized both of them; one was number 288, and the other was number 311, both stronger than him.

Xu Jianxing used the jade token given by Lin Moyu to hide his aura and stayed far away.

While hiding, Xu Jianxing kept moving, though his movements were small, and his attention was focused on the battle.

Contestant 288 gradually gained the upper hand and was about to win.

At this moment, Xu Jianxing carefully shot a law arrow. The arrow silently flew through the air and merged with contestant 288's attack, hitting contestant 311.

The law arrow was only at the True God realm and had almost no damage.

It went unnoticed from start to finish.

Until contestant 311 was defeated and teleported away.

Xu Jianxing received a notification from the Human Emperor Network.

[Defeated contestant 311, gained 0.5 points.]

Xu Jianxing's tense heart suddenly relaxed, and he silently retreated, disappearing without a trace.

Behind him, contestant 288 roared in anger, realizing someone had intercepted his points.

He checked the leaderboard and saw the change in points, with Xu Jianxing's 0.5 points standing out.

"Xu Jianxing! I won't let you off!"

His angry roar echoed across half the arena, but Xu Jianxing had already run far away.

Outside the arena, countless spectators saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh.

A God Sovereign slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "This Xu Jianxing is a talent, using the rules like this. Even I didn't think of it."

"Of course, he comes from the Xu family in the Divine City. How could he be lacking?"

"The Xu family in the Divine City, no wonder. The Xu family is very strict with their disciples, producing many talents. Truly impressive."

"These rules are full of traps. Those who can use the rules are smart people and will achieve great things in the future."

Xu Jianxing's actions seemed to inspire some people.

The 0.5-point change sparked many thoughts.

Some thought he had teamed up with someone, but it didn't seem right.

Contestant 288 was from the White Tiger Star Region and had no connection to Xu Jianxing.

Soon, some smart people figured out the reason.

More people began to imitate this method, and during battles, they had to watch out for hidden ambushers.

In another arena, Qing Xiaoxiao controlled a large net magical artifact, trapping someone tightly. The person was bound like a dumpling, unable to move.

Qing Xiaoxiao's net was a True God realm peak magical artifact. Although it couldn't bind someone for long, two or three minutes were no problem. Qing Xiaoxiao didn't attack but kept moving.

The person trapped was a cultivator from the Xuanwu Star Region, at the ninth rank of the God King realm, with strong defense. Although Qing Xiaoxiao trapped him, she couldn't harm him.

The person shouted, "Qing Xiaoxiao, you can't hurt me. Let me go, and I'll pretend I didn't see you."

Qing Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No, I want to earn your points."

"Earn what? You can't hurt me. What's the point of dragging this out?"

The person continued to shout, but Qing Xiaoxiao was determined and kept doing her own thing.

Two minutes later, a law arrow suddenly shot down from the sky, piercing through the net and severely injuring the person.

The person screamed as his defense collapsed.

Qing Xiaoxiao easily finished him off and won.

Retrieving the net, Qing Xiaoxiao laughed, "I'm smart, knowing how to use the rules."

"Too bad Lin Moyu isn't here. Otherwise, I'd make him look bad."

"One day, I'll tie him up like a dumpling and give him a good beating."

As she spoke, she clenched her silver teeth and waved her small fists, looking like she wanted revenge.

At this moment, the sound of a sword breaking through the air came from behind Qing Xiaoxiao.

Someone was ambushing her, and their combat power was not weak.

Qing Xiaoxiao reacted quickly and dodged.

The attacker missed and immediately retreated, disappearing without a trace.

Qing Xiaoxiao couldn't find the person and was so angry that she screamed.
