Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 394: Genuinely envious

Martial Artist Arena.

Luo Jun was randomly teleported into the peripheral area to begin a new round of battle.

In the past, he had wandered around the edge, with his Fifth-grade strength only allowing him to occasionally encounter some newcomers and gain a few points.

But he generally couldn’t survive for more than a few hours. Before he could advance towards the Blessed Land, he would encounter increasingly stronger experts and be eliminated.

The Qi Refining Experts fought among themselves in the inner area, but the competition was even more fierce among the experts below the Grandmaster level on the outside.

Usually, a Qi Refiner wouldn’t care about the few points gained from defeating an adversary below the Grandmaster level, but those Loose Cultivators below that rank relied on accumulating those points.

Take the Loose Cultivators, for instance, some with high talent, who, with limited resources, cultivated to a Ninth-grade level. These geniuses accumulated single-digit points by dealing with riff-raff like Luo Jun in the peripheral area.

Once they accumulated a certain number of points, they would exchange them for materials or Spirit Stones to sell.

All things considered, it was actually a stable and profitable business for professional Loose Cultivators.

A two-thousand-dollar ticket per entry, as long as they were careful and harvested the ordinary Martial Artists on the edge, earning 20 to 30 points a day counted as profit.

With an accumulation of 500 points, they could exchange for materials needed by the four major professions. Goods exchanged with 500 points could be sold for 100,000.

The investment to profit conversion rate was roughly 500%!

Before, the global populace complained about the high fees of the Arena, but now, the professional teams, who truly understood investment, were secretly grateful for the existence of the Arena that allowed many to profit from a business.

One could say this model supported the livelihoods of professional Loose Cultivator martial artist teams around the world.

Even mid to lower-level merchant teams farmed points to sell to big capitalists, who then used the resources and materials to cultivate the core members of their families.

The Arena had thus supported an entire economic ecosystem.

"You again, bumping into a points piggy as soon as I arrive."

As Luo Jun stepped out of a canyon, he ran into a fellow he had encountered several times before, who was gloating at his misfortune.

He was also from the Dragon Nation.

Moreover, he was from the capital circle, but from a different region; Luo Jun belonged to Shencheng City, and they were from different circles.

They might have secretly inquired about each other, but the other party never took Luo Jun seriously.

Because in his view, someone whose martial realm couldn’t be improved with money alone wasn’t from a very powerful capital background.

This is why they say that below Grandmasters are all ants. It refers to the fact that Alchemists worldwide can commonly produce Elixirs that enhance physical attributes.

This kind of Elixir can elevate an ordinary person to the Ninth-grade or even to the Grandmaster level.

It pushes one’s physical strength to the limit.

As long as you have the money!

Statistics on the market show that for a rich second-generation individual to reach the Ninth-grade Peak, they might need to spend a hundred million!

This is also why the other party looked down on Luo Jun, because it’s all about the Elixir; your strength represented your wealth.

Luo Jun saw this guy and felt extremely jealous.

He had been eliminated by this guy three times before.

Because the other was an Eighth-grade.

"It’s not certain yet who will be the one giving away points."

"Oh?" the other side laughed, "Got some help today?"

The other side looked somewhat suspicious, "That’s not right, the teleportation is random at the edge of the map. It’s a one in tens of thousands chance that you’d be placed at the same teleportation point as someone familiar. Are you trying to play mind games with me, kid?"

This was another fair aspect of the Arena; teaming wasn’t allowed, nor did you have to worry about any matchmaking shenanigans. If you encountered a person, you just fought; no need to worry about any swarm tactics from the other side.

If you wanted to team up, then you had to converge from various teleportation points to a specific location, but the precondition was that you had to defeat all opponents along the way.

"To deal with an Eighth-grade? Do I even need to look for help?" Luo Jun said disdainfully; the next second, he floated up into the sky to the stunned gaze of the other.

The other’s mouth gaped, "Innate?"

"No." He quickly realized, Innate strength also required leveraging to execute Qinggong in real combat. To levitate one’s body without support, one needed the art of Flight by Controlling Qi.

"Qi Refinement Realm!" the opponent’s pupils dilated, "Impossible, just a few days ago you were clearly at the Fifth-grade strength. How could you possibly break through the Grandmaster and Innate levels and enter Qi Refinement all of a sudden?"

Seeing is believing. After coming to his senses, he turned to run.

But how could someone running on the ground match the speed of someone like Luo Jun who could fly?

He caught up to the opponent and with one punch sent him flying out of the Arena.

The other Martial Artists witnessing the scene quickly scattered: "Qi Refining Early Stage, don’t mess with it, let’s get out of here!"

Luo Jun felt an unprecedented strength coursing through him and, looking passionately ahead, he opened the rankings.

Although he wasn’t listed, as a Qi Refining Expert in the Mid Qi-Refining Stage, he confidently said, "Blessed Land circle, wait for me!"

At that moment, a pretty girl peeked her head out from a steep cliff and said weakly, "Brother, can you take me with you? Just not get eliminated for 24 hours, and afterward, I’ll treat you to a drink."

"Drink your mom!" Luo Jun went over and with a punch sent the woman out of the Arena.

Sorry, I’m a married man, don’t touch me.

Luo Jun had just experienced the exhilaration of being uplifted by his wife, now you want to mess up my Dao Heart?

No discussion!

"Luo Jun?"

At night, 24 hours before the Arena settlement, other forces interested in Martial Arts kept a constant watch on the live rankings.

When the second-generation rich kids in Shencheng City saw Luo Jun’s name climb to 12th on the rankings, they thought it was a case of mistaken identity.

So they discussed it in their group chat.

[It’s the Luo from Luo Group, a few of my friends confirmed it; several Qi Refining Early Stage experts have been eliminated by him, it’s the same person!]

[It’s him. It’s our Shencheng City club’s Luo Jun.] 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

[Holy crap, wasn’t this guy just at Fifth-grade? And he was a marginal member, lagging behind in our club.]

Liu Jin: [Nothing fancy, the guy took off thanks to his fiancée.]

The group was abuzz with surprise, each mentioning Liu Jin: [Mr. Liu, can you give us more details?]

Liu Jin: [Are you guys living under a rock? You don’t know who Luo Jun’s girlfriend is? Initially, his family’s qualifications weren’t enough to join the club; it was his girlfriend who stepped in and recommended him to the president.]

Liu Jin: [He’s going to be a son-in-law at a state-owned enterprise soon.]

[Mr. Liu, can you mention a name?]

Liu Jin: [Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know her; she’s not from our capitalist circle. His fiancée is from the circles at the state-owned side.]

Liu Jin: [Do you guys know Ye Shuting?]

[??]

[???]

Indeed, with circles separated like mountains, many of the rich kids usually only knew how to play with internet celebrities and models.

Guo Yunfan: [She’s Feng’s dear aunt’s daughter, also his only cousin.]

[Holy shit!]

[Damn, what status. How did Luo Jun meet her?]

[Man, this is too outrageous. How on earth did this Luo Jun get so lucky that Miss Ye from the Ye Family would take a fancy to him?]

Guo Yunfan: [Not only did she fancy him, but she also gave Luo Jun Elixirs, which is why he advanced to the Qi Refinement Realm. This kind of elixir that doesn’t exist on the market can only come from someone at Miss Ye’s level.]

[Damn, I’m like legit jealous.]

[I’m so freaking envious.]

Guo Yunfan: [To be honest, I’m jealous too.]

Liu Jin: [+1]
