“Sea Clan cultivators are like clay chickens and pottery dogs, utterly useless. It might get interesting if those from the Saint Realm showed up, but the rest are just weak.”
On the platform, Yitilou smacked his lips disdainfully.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he tilted his head towards the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, looking melancholy like a lonely master.
Everyone was speechless. Since you’re so powerful and experienced, whatever you say must be right.
But then, they felt something strange. Shouldn’t something appear after killing someone?
Like a Sin Value?
The geniuses widened their eyes, staring at the old skinny man on the stage, looking from left to right but detecting not a trace of a blood-colored aura.
Not only did the geniuses notice this issue, but the surrounding spectators, elders, and the Island Master also realized it. There was nothing above the old man’s head, neither Sin Value nor Merit Value.
This was odd!
Very odd!
In the Central Origin Realm, even ordinary people would have both Sin Values and Merit Values, even if just a little, but this old man had none, especially just after he had exploded a Half-Saint right in front of them.
Why had Heavenly Dao not bestowed a Sin Value?
Could there be some unknown secret behind this?
On reflection, it seemed that this old man’s name appeared neither on the List of Villains nor the Merit Board. Such a Saint Realm expert should at least rank within the top twenty, but his name wasn’t in the top one hundred. All the well-known cultivators of the Central Origin Realm were on that list: there was no way they did not recognize him!
No Sin Value, no Merit Value, not even appearing on the rankings, how could this be possible?
“Why does this revered elder kill a Half-Saint Strong Expert without showing a Sin Value?”
“Could there be a delay?”
“That doesn’t add up. A delay in the rankings is one thing, but Sin and Merit Values should manifest the instant one takes action, let alone killing someone. The fact that no values are displayed above his head is just too strange.”
The cultivators murmured amongst themselves, their eyes filled with suspicion when they looked at Yitilou.
This old man exuded an air of mystery from head to toe; nobody could say how he had appeared or to which sect he belonged.
“This must be a Hidden Immortal Sect!”
“If he is from a Hidden Immortal Sect, no matter how strange the events, it wouldn’t be surprising. Their very existence is a miracle!”
“When I report this back to my sect, my status will certainly rise. Those who once looked down on me can be dealt with one by one!”
The eyes of the Elder of the Blood Demon Sect sparkled with excitement, similar excitement mirrored in the faces of several other cultivators from Super Sects; they had concluded that this old man was from a Hidden Immortal Sect, perhaps even the person behind the Villain’s Guild!
Li Xiaobai: “Ol’ Lou is mighty!”
“But why does Ol’ Lou not have a Sin Value?”
He was also puzzled by this. Even he, who possessed the System, seemed unable to escape this rule. Why could Yitilou exempt himself?
“Hehe, well, with your current strength and cultivation level, you are not yet qualified to understand. Knowing too much too soon could be harmful rather than beneficial.”
“All you need to know is that you don’t need such reverence towards the so-called Heavenly Dao.”
Yan Zuzi said lightly, his tone seemingly nostalgic and suggestive.
“I’m so powerful, even the Heavenly Dao has to call me daddy— who dares to label me?”
Yitilou walked over, a proud expression on his face.
Li Xiaobai and the others took the opportunity to carefully size up their opponent. His body was thin as skin and bones, his muscles lax, and his skin wrinkled. No sense of strength could be discerned from his appearance, yet it was this body that had swallowed a long saber and casually exploded a Half-Saint from the Sea Clan!
Yan Zuzi said indifferently, “Showing off invites lightning strikes. I think that Second Elder up there has recognized you. Better be careful not to be too arrogant.”
Yitilou replied, “What’s there to see and act on? Life and death are indifferent to me. If I don’t agree, I’ll fight. I could crush such small fry with a flick of my hand at my peak.”
Yan Zuzi advised, “But right now, we aren’t at our peak, only slightly stronger than an ordinary Saint. We still need to watch what we say and tread carefully.”
…
The commotion of the crowd gradually subsided. Although there were many doubts about Yitilou’s performance, no one dared to voice them. They only held deep respect for such a big shot; not even the Island Master and others dared to speak up.
Sometimes, knowing too much can actually be harmful, a concept they knew very well.
The competition proceeded as usual, with the Great Elder automatically declaring Lin Yin the winner of this round.
Because the Sea Clan’s geniuses had collectively fled, Yang Chen, Ling Feng, and Liu Jinshui all advanced automatically. This outcome caused the Great Elder’s brows to twitch uncontrollably; his original intention was to have these powerhouses slaughter each other in the first round in a life-or-death battle.
After a few rounds, these geniuses from the Super Sects were not only unscathed but had also advanced smoothly, which inadvertently increased the difficulty for his disciple, Long Aotian.
Knowing this would happen, he wouldn’t have secretly arranged for the Sea Clan’s geniuses to confront these Super Sect Disciples.
It was all the fault of that old Sea Clan man, who had recklessly disrupted his plan by stepping onto the arena. Truly more trouble than help, he deserved to die!
“Just this?”
“It seems there’s no chance for us to take the stage.”
With a flick of his fan, Yang Chen spoke with slight disappointment.
“What’s the rush? This is perfect. Ol’Fatty can continue betting.”
Liu Jinshui was indifferent to the outcomes of the matches; he was only interested in spotting and seizing business opportunities.

“Gentlemen, please take your seats!”
A waiter approached Li Xiaobai and respectfully addressed the group.
The winning disciples could sit in the center of the high platform, a domain reserved for victorious geniuses. Long Xue was sitting there, watching the competition.
“Didn’t expect such treatment; sitting up there is good. An elder like me should indeed sit up there.”
Yitilou laughed heartily, elbowing Li Xiaobai while making suggestive gestures, causing Li Xiaobai to shudder. This old man sure knew a lot, definitely a seasoned flirt!
“That’s excellent!”
“Much obliged.”
Li Xiaobai smiled and nodded in agreement. He had long wanted to covertly approach Long Xue to learn more about the situation on Ice Dragon Island, but she hadn’t been sitting with the cultivators in the spectator section, so he had no reason to approach her.
But now, Ice Dragon Island had actually invited them up—it was as if heaven was helping him!
Long Xue also noticed their movements and rose with a gentle smile, “Gentlemen, why not sit here with me and witness the contest of these geniuses?”
Yitilou grinned cheekily, “Good!”
Li Xiaobai frowned and corrected him, “Very good!”
