Fey Evolution Merchant

Not only did Xia Qing not reject Zhao Xiaochun's offer, but she received the pig trotter without hesitation and started munching on it.

Although Xia Qing ate much more elegantly than Zhao Xiaochun, she was not any slower.

It was at this moment that Liu Jie suddenly recalled the rumor that Zhao Xiaochun sometimes brought along a wingman with her when she terrorized hotel buffets.

Could it be that Xia Qing was the wingman?

Suddenly, the image of Xia Qing that had been built up in their minds crumbled.

Shi Xu was the only one who remained calm.

Ever since he opened the House of Enviable Fragrance, Shi Xu had essentially placed shackles on Zhao Xiaochun, and she no longer frequented other restaurants.

For the sake of love, Shi Xu went back to being the Working Emperor so he could earn enough to feed her.

During this time, he noticed that Zhao Xiaochun often brought Xia Qing with her to the house of Enviable Fragrance.

After getting into a relationship with Zhao Xiaochun, Shi Xu realized that she ate continuously because of a source-type lifeform she had contracted.

By eating, she was increasing the source-type lifeform's power.

Evidently, this was the case for Xia Qing as well.

There was once when Xia Qing was feasting in the House of Enviable Fragrance that a strange noise appeared from within her body.

It sounded like the low growl of a beast.

But Shi Xu had never seen Xia Qing summon a beast-type fey that made such a noise during battle.

Xia Qing hid it too well!

Liu Wencheng stood on the stage and gazed with pride at the 100 people below him who represented the best and brightest of the Radiance Federation's younger generation.

Inside the hall, a large bronze clock rang out as it struck 12.

Every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence straightened this posture and looked at Liu Wencheng.

At that moment, the Radiance Hundred Sequence's ranking was going to officially begin.

Liu Wencheng announced, "In the past, the rankings took place on battle stages. That structure was unfair to many people's fighting styles. This time, the ranking is going to take place on Star Web.

"Although it will still be one-on-one battles which are disadvantageous for support-type and healing-type spirit qi professionals, the battleground has been expanded to a square kilometer. Grassland, a mountain, a river, trenches, a forest, and a desert can be found within the area. The ground is also uneven.

"With such a battleground, all of you should be able to sufficiently make use of your combat styles. In past years' rankings, all of you always held back. But this time, you can give it your all."

Many members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence inhaled sharply.

Frankly, most of them had guessed that this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking would take place on Star Web.

After Star Web was updated, the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had fought on the Celestial Stairway and sparred against their teammates on Star Web with the sensitivity set at maximum so that they would be able to experience what it was like to die over and over.

This realistic experience of dying was completely different from what it used to be like fighting on the Celestial Stairway.

When the Radiance Hundred Sequence members were out on assignments, they often got injured and brushed against death. However, none of them had truly experienced death.

Those who had experienced death recoiled at the memory.

At that moment, Liu Wencheng changed the topic and said, "In February of next year, the Radiance Envoy selection will take place, and the next Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking will only happen in March. Thus, this is your last chance to show what you're capable of. Let me see if you are truly worthy of being part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence!"

While he spoke, Liu Wencheng's gaze fell on Xia Qing and Liu Jie.

Xia Qing was done eating by the time the bronze clock rang and had stored the bones inside a Diamond fey storage box.

On the other hand, Zhao Xiaochun had still been munching away, but her expression soon became stern, and she even stopped chewing.

She was waiting for Liu Wencheng to finish speaking before she continued eating.

When Liu Wencheng noticed this, he shook his head vexedly and said, "Zhao Xiaochun, your source-type lifeform is more special, and you will be in a state of starvation if your belly isn't kept full. I give you permission to finish the pig trotter!"

Zhao Xiaochun blushed and hastily swallowed the food in her mouth.

She would never eat while Liu Wencheng was talking, even if it meant that her source-type lifeform would die.

Liu Wencheng's words lit a fire within the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who aimed to become Radiance Envoys.

Even if they knew that they could not become Radiance Envoys, they were determined to become Radiance Knights.

The Radiance Knights received better treatment and resources than the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

More importantly, it was an honor to be a Radiance Envoy!

The Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation would be carrying out their bet two years later.

This new batch of Radiance Envoys and Radiance Knights would be the substitutes.

But even so, all of them wanted to do their part for the Radiance Federation.

Liu Wencheng looked at the Radiance Hundred Sequence members, who were burning with passion, and said, "Now, take out your Star Web Cards and step into the Radiance Sacred Hall in Star Web! Starting from Sequence #1 Xia Qing, the battles will take place going down the ranks."

Inside the Radiance Sacred Hall on Star Web, Xia Qing stood up and said, "I give up my three challenges!'

This challenge structure gave the lower-ranked members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence more chances and also those who were eliminated would have no reason to complain.

If they could not even defeat the three challengers they chose, there was no excuse for their elimination.

After Xia Qing gave up her three chances, Li Ang stood up and said, "I would like to challenge Sequence #1, Xia Qing!"

Li Ang had been doing this every year for the past three years, and everyone had become accustomed to it.

Li Ang walked over to Xia Qing and spoke with resolution.
