The past memories flashed in Chen Lan's mind, and he smiled faintly.
Looking at it this way, almost all of his partners could make it to the rankings because it seemed like none of them were weak.
As each name on the Golden List was revealed, Chen Lan saw all his partners—eight in total—all on the list!
The highest one was at the Human Immortal level. He vaguely remembered that this person was almost a True Immortal, but due to certain events, they quit and never played again.
Currently, he only knew the true identity of the Water Fairy and was unclear about the others.
At this moment, Chen Lan had returned to the dormitory with Luo Tao.
Today was the weekend, and the other two roommates had gone home, leaving just him and Luo Tao at the school.
"The Golden List is still being broadcasted, and it's only at the twentieth name. I wonder who the top ten are," Luo Tao murmured, standing on the balcony, gazing at the golden scroll in the dim sky.
Chen Lan looked over and saw that the twentieth person was already a Celestial Immortal, and the top ten were all above Daluo Golden Immortals.
"Stop looking; it's got nothing to do with us," Chen Lan laughed.
"Damn, I really regret it. If I'd known, I would have played that game more. Otherwise, I'd be a top player now," Luo Tao grumbled as he walked back.
Chen Lan chuckled lightly and said nothing.
He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and used his Divine Sense to overlook all of Huaxia.
The Divine Sense was really useful; it was like watching a movie and listening to sounds, allowing him to see Huaxia anytime and anywhere.
He could see that the cultivator management department had already started to take action. Across the country, they deployed patrol teams led by individuals above the Golden Core.
Now, most of the cultivators were below the Golden Core, and only a few were at the Nascent Soul level, so this patrol team could perfectly stop crimes.
He also saw Yan Yu wearing a brand-new uniform, looking dashing as she led her team on patrol, currently around Qindu University.
The cultivator students of Qindu University were not at peace either, as they no longer wanted to stay in school and started to show off their power.
However, many students used their powerful strength to flirt and wildly show off their masculinity.
"Damn, Chen Lan, the world has really changed. A lot of criminals have escaped," Luo Tao suddenly shouted.
Chen Lan opened his eyes and sat up, looking at him, "What's wrong?"
"Look," Luo Tao came over, sat beside him, and showed him his phone.
On the phone, there was breaking news with a female host speaking.
"Currently, many serious criminals and murderers have successfully escaped across the country. They were just arrested but have gained extraordinary powers today to escape prison. Citizens are urged to stay indoors and call the official number of the cultivator management department if they see any suspicious individuals!"
Chen Lan frowned. No wonder the cultivator management department quickly started recruiting and patrolling; it was because so many criminals had escaped.
This could have a significant impact on society.
Suddenly, Chen Lan sensed something, looked out the window with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Tao sensed something was wrong with Chen Lan.
"You keep watching; I need to step out," Chen Lan lightly smiled, patted Luo Tao's shoulder, and walked out of the dormitory.
As soon as he stepped out of the dormitory door, he disappeared in place.
"Hey, you forgot the paper!" Luo Tao's voice echoed in the dormitory.
He looked at the tissues by Chen Lan's bedside and fell into deep thought. Could it be that cultivators don't need paper when they go to the bathroom?
...
"Yuan Xiaoyong, surrender now. You can't escape!"
At this time, at the coast of Haidu City.
On a beach, several uniformed men and women surrounded a man in prison garb.
The man was the serious criminal, Yuan Xiaoyong, who was supposed to be on trial tomorrow and then sentenced to death.
But who would've thought that today the game would manifest in reality, and he obtained cultivation, becoming a supreme cultivator!
"Hahaha, do you think you can stop me?" Yuan Xiaoyong laughed wildly. As long as he passed this coast, he would be in another country on the other side.
There, he would become stronger and take revenge—who could stop him then?
"Don't think you're the only one with cultivation; we have it too," said the leading man coldly.
In an instant, a blade formed of Spiritual Qi appeared in his hand, sharp and glaring.
He was at the Golden Core Stage, the leader of one of the teams from the cultivator management department, Ye Luo.
Today's task was to abolish Yuan Xiaoyong's cultivation and send him back to prison for immediate execution.
The cultivators behind him all revealed their blades, except for two in the Body Refining phase who couldn't form objects from Spiritual Qi.
"Hahaha, a mere Golden Core Stage, and you dare try to catch me? You really don't know death!" Yuan Xiaoyong laughed wildly again.
The next second, a strong and terrifying pressure erupted from within him, shaking the surroundings.
Bam!
All the members of the management team were instantly forced back, retreating dozens of meters, struggling to stop.
Ye Luo's eyes widened in surprise, "This is Divinity Transformation Stage!"
Never did he expect that Yuan Xiaoyong in front of him would be at Divinity Transformation. They, only at Golden Core plus Foundation Establishment, and two in Body Refining, couldn't match him at all.
All of them frowned heavily, their hearts sinking, especially those in Body Refining; their legs almost gave out.
"Report, Divinity Transformation expert found at Haidu City's coast, request immediate support, need immediate support!" Ye Luo quickly picked up the satellite radio, shouting loudly.
With just a few of them, they couldn't stop Yuan Xiaoyong, not even for a single move.
"Die!" Yuan Xiaoyong frantically shouted, launching a sudden attack, slamming a palm down.
In an instant, the sky changed dramatically, a blood-red Spiritual Qi palm rapidly formed and slammed down.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Luo shouted, quickly dodging to the side.
But the others couldn't keep up!
Bam!
With one slam, the five-person team instantly lost three people, all exploding in a mist of blood, dying instantly!
Only Ye Luo and the Foundation Establishment deputy team leader were left, though the deputy was not well off either, having lost his left arm!
"Ahhh!!!" The deputy team leader screamed in pain clutching his left arm; a mere touch from the blood-colored palm caused it to explode.
This was the terror of Divinity Transformation. If Yuan Xiaoyong wanted to, he could kill them at any moment.
"Hahaha, this is fun. Weren't you guys always so arrogant before? I despise official people like you the most, thinking authority makes you untouchable. Now, let's see who's the boss!"
Yuan Xiaoyong laughed maniacally, once again forming a blood-red palm to wipe out the remaining two.
Watching the blood-red palm fall, Ye Luo closed his eyes, awaiting death.
His radio dropped to the ground during the dodge and was shattered.
Now unable to call for support, he could only wait for his end.
"Who, who are you?!!"
