A person in Swallowing the Stars awakens a martial arts system.

Chapter 53 Turmoil

Iloze turned to ashes.

"Even if I die, I won't let you have it easy!"

This was his last thought.

With a wave of his hand, Holy Light Feather took the remaining World Rings and handed them to Qi Yuan.

"Husband, you take it."

……

At this time, many students of the Virtual Universe Company received an email from Iloze.

A lecture had just ended in a square.

"Ilose is dead?"

"Were you framed by Qi Yuan and had your identity exposed?"

"Is that Qi Yuan really that insidious?"

"It seems I need to be more careful when entering mission dungeons in the future. It would be best to change my appearance."

"What's the use of changing appearance? It should be able to alter life force; otherwise, it's best to avoid contact!"

"The company's senior management will probably investigate."

"We can't let him get away with this just because he's a disciple of the Lord of the Universe!"

Several students from the previous cohort, who were considered "cosmic-level" students, were discussing the matter animatedly.

"You're talking nonsense! Qi Yuan isn't that kind of person at all!"

Atulka retorted loudly.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows if he's just jealous of Ilose and wants to kill him off beforehand?"

A young werewolf mocked.

Other participants in this cohort were also skeptical.

After all, Ilose was indeed dead.

"Hmph! Maybe this Iloze is the one crying 'stop thief!'"

Atulka countered.

Lily said, "I also believe in Qi Yuan."

The others looked at Nine Swords.

"What do you think, Nine Swords?"

"The company will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly and determine the truth. Just wait for the company's notification."

Nine Swords glanced at the people around him.

"However, your statement that Qi Yuan is jealous of Yi Luoze is biased."

I now have the strength to pass through the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Qi Yuan's talent is no less than mine.

Ilose?

Why would Qi Yuan be jealous of a mere seventh-level student at the Tongtian Bridge?

Don't forget, Qi Yuan cultivates the Cosmic Chaos Stele.

His strength is definitely no less than, if not greater than, that of Ilose.

I've never heard of a strong person being jealous of a weak person!

After saying that, he glanced arrogantly at the elderly students and logged off.

Atuka laughed heartily, looking at the werewolf youth with provocation.

"Mokar, do you have anything else to say?"

Hmph, they're just showing off because they've cultivated for a longer period of time than us.

If you're so capable, compete with the Nine Swords, compete with Qi Yuan!

"Nine Swords has the strength to pass the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge, do you?"

Mokar's face darkened, and he muttered, "Who knows if Nine Swords is just bragging!"

At this point, Atuka and the others began to refute.

Friction between the newcomers and the veterans was ignited, and they started arguing amongst themselves.

At this moment, a kind-hearted young man standing in the corner loudly advised, "We are all students of the virtual universe; harmony is the most important thing!"

"And who are you?"

"The werewolf youth, Mocar, asked."

"I am Hun Tuo, a member of the Doomsday Secret Realm recommended by the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

"Hmph! From some apocalyptic secret realm, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for!"

Mokar scoffed, "You're also from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, you wouldn't happen to know Qi Yuan, would you?"

"I believe that the Qi Yuan brothers are not that kind of people."

Hun Tuo said seriously, "Jiu Jian is right. We'll just wait for the company's notification. Let's all keep things peaceful!"

"Nonsense! Bah! You, a mere nobody from a post-apocalyptic secret realm, dare to act all high and mighty here!"

Mokar shoved him aside, causing him to stumble.

Suddenly, Mokar's expression changed drastically, he screamed and immediately logged off.

"What's wrong with Mokar?"

"He didn't reply to my emails, and he didn't answer my calls."

"He must have run into trouble in the secret realm!"

The crowd was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and lost all interest in arguing, so they all logged off and left.

……

Thunder Island.

The Lava King is having a gathering with some friends.

His expression suddenly changed, and he stood up angrily.

"Lava, what's wrong?"

"Hmph! My disciple, Iloze, was framed and died in the secret realm!"

He showed Ilose's emails to his friends.

"I must get justice!"

"Lava, don't be impulsive! The company will definitely find out the truth!"

"Yes, Lava, this email only represents your disciple's side of the story. Can't you tone down your fiery temper a bit!"

Friends tried to dissuade him.

Not to mention his status as a disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, Qi Yuan is also nominally under the tutelage of the Youhou Lord, making his status and position higher than those of the kings and immortals.

They dared not let the Lava King's fiery temper run rampant.

The Lava King said angrily, "You are afraid of him, but I am not!"

I want to file a complaint with the company.

If it is indeed Qi Yuan who framed my disciple, I must not let him off lightly just because of his status.

This kind of mentality is especially harmful the more talented a person is!

……

"Hmm? So many emails! Senior Brother Youhou actually contacted me first!"

Qi Yuan ignored the emails, logged into the virtual universe, and went to the Youhou Temple.

"Senior brother, what brings you to me?"

"I have something to ask you."

Instead of addressing the controversy caused by Yiluoze's email, Lord Youhou tested Yiluoze's cultivation progress.

"Not bad, you're now more than capable of passing through the ninth level of the Cosmic Bridge."

You've made rapid progress!

But how come your spatial laws surpass your temporal laws by so much?

It seems you've had a great opportunity during the secret realm quest.

After this test, Lord Youhou had already formed his judgment.

He recounted the Elozie email incident.

Qi Yuan said, "Words are not enough. I recorded the whole story using a virtual video. Please take a look, Senior Brother."

He played the video.

From Jiao's betrayal to the death of Yiluoze.

Lord Youhou snorted coldly.

"This person is cunning and deceitful. He doesn't want to compete fairly and honestly, but always wants to take crooked and evil paths. It's good that he died!"

The company will need to be more vigilant in monitoring such situations in the future.

Anyone who dares to commit this offense will be brought to justice!

He then looked at Qi Yuan with curiosity.

"But junior brother, how did you manage to make that female realm lord obey you so completely? Your methods..."

He shook his head and smiled inexplicably.

If he hadn't witnessed Qi Yuan's adventures in the Illusionary Sea and knew of the immortal power within the Visca Secret Realm, he might have suspected that Qi Yuan had been enslaved by his soul.

Qi Yuan briefly recounted what had happened.

Of course, he didn't mention that this was a talent bestowed upon him by his system.

He said that it was only after his persuasion, coupled with his longing for the outside world, that Sheng Guangyu was willing to follow him.

Lord Youhou said, "In fact, in very rare cases, the native humans in the secret realm have joined our five major forces."

So, junior brother, you can bring her out if you want; I'll grant you access then.

"Senior brother, since secret realms like the ruined ancient temple are so important, why don't we humans just occupy them directly, instead of leaving the opportunities to the natives?"

Qi Yuan was puzzled.

"Junior brother, you must remember that native humans are also members of the human race."

To become a pillar of strength for humanity, one must possess compassion for humanity.
