Open up and break into another world

Buzz—

Around Li Xiujie, the huge phantom of a divine body reappeared, looking solemn and majestic.

It's just that… the sound of slaps on Li Xiujie's face never stopped, destroying this solemnity.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!…

Li Xiujie's eyes were serious and stern, completely ignoring the slaps constantly hitting his face.

The phantom manipulated time and space, and spatial lines undulating like ripples reappeared around Li Xiujie, spreading into the infinite distance.

Li Xiujie endured the endless slaps, calmly exploring time and space. The spatial lines became clearer and clearer!

“That's the direction!” Li Xiujie followed the spatial lines and accurately locked onto a direction billions of miles away—there, Li Xiujie felt that space was severely distorted. Deep within the distorted space, a world was hidden.

“Go!”

Whoosh—

Li Xiujie transformed into lightning and quickly shot in that direction.

…

Several Dominator Realm experts who were attached to the Li family saw this and immediately seized this great opportunity to flatter him, praising him one after another:

“General Li is truly a man of great composure! Even when subjected to great interference, he is still able to calmly and collectedly display the secret technique of exploring space!”

“Such composure is rare not only among the younger generation in the God Domain, but even among the older generation! He is truly a dragon among men!”

“One must endure bitterness to rise above others! Young Master Li's perseverance in 'bearing humiliation and shouldering heavy responsibilities' is far beyond the reach of those smooth-sailing geniuses of the same generation! In the future, Young Master Li's achievements will surely be unmatched by other geniuses!”

These Dominators who were bootlicking were not only flattering the Li family head but also saying good things to the Holy Emperor City Lord, seemingly implying to the Holy Emperor City Lord—choose Li Xiujie as your son-in-law!

“Shut up!!” The Li family head really couldn't listen anymore—was this flattery? This was completely embarrassing!

Is “bearing humiliation and shouldering heavy responsibilities” glorious?

Suffering humiliation is inherently a disgrace!

And now, Li Xiujie was being humiliated! Moreover, it was an extraordinary humiliation, a great humiliation…

These sycophantic Dominators even brought up “bearing humiliation and shouldering heavy responsibilities” to flatter him; wasn't this flattery directly hitting the horse's leg?

…

“Look! Xu Ming was the first to enter the small world!”

Just then, a Great Expert exclaimed.

The Myriad Realms Island is vast and boundless for billions of miles. Finding a “small cave” in such a vast world is by no means easy.

Xu Ming was also able to find the entrance to a small world the earliest by relying on his “exploration” cheat.

“Heh! So what if he was the first to enter the small world?” A disdainful voice sounded, “Entering early doesn't mean he can find many Karma Stones! Moreover… there are tens of thousands of small worlds within the Myriad Realms Island; it's hard to say whether there are any Karma Stones in the small world that Xu Ming entered!”

“That's right! What's the use of entering early! Whoever finds the most Karma Stones is the real deal!”

“In my opinion, this Xu Ming and Yin Ran are just destined to be apart!”

Those who were trying their best to speak ill of Xu Ming were naturally the Dominators of forces such as the Li family and the Yehenara clan. They deliberately slandered Xu Ming to damage the Holy Emperor City Lord's impression of Xu Ming.

Once the impression is poor, the probability of Xu Ming winning the martial arts tournament will naturally be smaller.

“Eh—” Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on the Time-Space Palace Master's face. He was surprised to see that after Xu Ming entered the small world, he went straight to the nearest Karma Stone without hesitation.

“Could it be… Xu Ming knows that there is a Karma Stone in this direction?” The Time-Space Palace Master couldn't help but think. But immediately, he denied this idea, “The Karma Stones in this small world are all hidden by me, and I have never told anyone! How could Xu Ming possibly know where the Karma Stones are hidden!”

But now… Xu Ming is heading straight for the nearest Karma Stone, how can this be explained?

The Time-Space Palace Master couldn't figure it out, so he could only secretly say: “Coincidence! It must be a coincidence! Xu Ming should just be flying in this direction, and he doesn't know that there is a Karma Stone in this direction!”

However, after a while…

The Time-Space Palace Master was surprised to see again that Xu Ming “coincidentally” stopped above the location of the Karma Stone; then, he “coincidentally” plunged into the ground.

When Xu Ming drilled back out of the ground, he had a red crystal jade in his hand—it was the Karma Stone!

“How is this possible!?” The Time-Space Palace Master widened his eyes, “How could he know that there is a Karma Stone here!”

“What!? Xu Ming found the first Karma Stone so quickly!?”

“So fast!”

“The other geniuses haven't even entered the small world yet! Xu Ming has already found the Karma Stone!”

Moreover, what shocked the Dominators the most was—from the beginning when Xu Ming entered the Myriad Realms Island to finding this first Karma Stone; this entire process did not take a single wrong step!

Yes! Not a single wrong step!

First, he went straight to the nearest small world entrance; after entering the small world, he went straight to the location of this Karma Stone!—He didn't even turn! It was completely a “pure straight line” advance.

It was as if Xu Ming had known for a long time that there was a Karma Stone here.

“This…” The Dominators looked at each other, unable to figure out how Xu Ming did it.

Whoosh—

Just then, the Dominators saw that Xu Ming put away the Karma Stone and went straight to another new direction.

This new direction naturally didn't feel like anything to the other Dominators; but to the Time-Space Palace Master, it was as if he had seen a ghost!—Because the direction Xu Ming was going was the location of another Karma Stone!

“Could it be…” The Time-Space Palace Master couldn't believe it.

But…

Unbelievable, but you have to believe it!

Sure enough, before long, Xu Ming stopped at the location of the second Karma Stone; and after digging out the Karma Stone, he went straight to the direction of the third Karma Stone.

“How is this possible…” At this moment, the Time-Space Palace Master was completely certain that Xu Ming definitely knew the location of the Karma Stones.

“I have never told anyone the location of the Karma Stones! How could he know?” The Time-Space Palace Master was shocked.

How would he know?

Very simple!

After Xu Ming entered this small world, a “exploration” cheat explored the “Karma Stone distribution map” of this small world—how many Karma Stones there were and where they were hidden, Xu Ming knew everything!

And what Xu Ming needed to do was to use the most reasonable route to collect every Karma Stone.

It's that simple!

“I will definitely win first place in the Karma assessment!” Xu Ming put away the third Karma Stone and went straight to the fourth.

In fact, Xu Ming's real goal in this Karma assessment was not “winning first place”; because winning first place was almost no difficulty for him!

Xu Ming's real goal was—to distribute the extra Karma Stones to geniuses such as Pan Gang; at that time, he would directly contract the one hundred winning spots in the “Karma assessment”!

In that case, the last two stages of the martial arts tournament would be completely under Xu Ming's control!
