Open up and break into another world

Ten sets of facial pampering, not one set less!

Hearing these words, a look of utter despair filled Hua Jianying's eyes.

He couldn't even handle three sets… and now ten?

"Brother Ming…" Hua Jianying pleaded incessantly, but to no avail.

Once Xu Ming started slapping, he was as unfeeling as stone!

Those geniuses who had challenged Xu Ming and were registered on his "Slapping Roster" all shrunk their necks in fear—because after Hua Jianying finished his facial pampering, it would be their turn!

Anyone on the Slapping Roster couldn't escape.

"Damn… why is Xu Ming so strong…" The geniuses waiting in line to be slapped were filled with regret—even Hua Jianying, ranked second, was being beaten by Xu Ming without any ability to resist; who among them could resist Xu Ming's tyrannical power?

Now, they realized—Xu Ming's provocation of the entire arena wasn't an act, nor was it foolishness, but… he was truly awesome!

Unfortunately… they realized it too late!

They were already on Xu Ming's Slapping Roster!

"Damn, what am I going to do when it's my turn…" One genius on the roster was burning with anxiety, "Should I just admit defeat as soon as I get on stage and kowtow honestly…"

"Nonsense! If you don't admit defeat directly, are you waiting to be slapped?"

"Do I really have to kneel and kowtow?" A delicate-looking disciple in a Taoist robe was unwilling, "Oh… I'll kneel if I have to… who told me to kick an iron board…"

"The foolishness you committed yourself, you have to finish a hundred kowtows through tears…"

…

However, some geniuses on the roster were more quick-witted.

"Brother Chen Hao!" A round-faced little fatty secretly approached Chen Hao.

"Oh? Brother Lü Wei, what's the matter?" Chen Hao was a little surprised.

"Brother Chen Hao, there is something I need your help with…" Lü Wei said with a serious face.

"Speak," Chen Hao's relationship with the little fatty was quite good; seeing the little fatty's serious expression, he couldn't help but become serious as well.

Lü Wei smiled awkwardly: "I heard that Brother Chen Hao has a very good relationship with Brother Ming?"

"Uh…" Chen Hao immediately understood, "You want me to intercede for you?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lü Wei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Oh…" Chen Hao said with a blaming tone, "Why did you have to provoke Xu Ming?"

"I am also filled with regret!" Lü Wei said, "At that time, I just felt it was fun, so I went up to join in the fun…"

"You call that joining in the fun?" Chen Hao glared, "That's called 'kicking someone when they're down'!"

"I really was just joining in the fun…" Lü Wei said anxiously, "Even if I beat Xu Ming, I wouldn't make him kneel and kowtow, but would directly throw him off the battle stage."

Being thrown off the battle stage doesn't require kneeling and kowtowing. Only escaping the battle stage yourself does.

"Do you think Xu Ming will believe your words?" Chen Hao glanced at him.

"It's true!" Lü Wei said quickly, "Brother Chen Hao, you must believe me! We've known each other for many years, don't you know what kind of person I, Lü Wei, am?"

"Oh… now, it's not a question of whether I believe you, but whether Xu Ming will believe you!" Chen Hao sighed.

Lü Wei said pitifully: "Please, Brother Chen Hao, help me intercede… I don't want to kneel there and kowtow like Du Qianxiong and the others… It's too embarrassing!"

"If you knew it was embarrassing, why did you do it in the first place?" Chen Hao scolded with a sigh, but still said, "For the sake of our many years of friendship, I'll try to speak on your behalf! As for whether Xu Ming will give me face, I can't guarantee!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen Hao! Thank you, Brother Chen Hao!"

…

Several other geniuses on the roster thought of the same method as Lü Wei—secretly finding geniuses who had a good relationship with Xu Ming and asking them to intercede with Xu Ming.

Even Chi Xue was secretly asked for help.

"Sister Chi Xue, please help Sister Jiang Qingyue…" Jiang Qingyue, this female disciple, was also on the "Slapping Roster." She looked at Chi Xue pitifully, begging and acting coquettishly in every way.

Chi Xue couldn't bear being pestered so much, so she had to say: "I will speak for you, but whether Brother Xu Ming will agree, I can't guarantee…"

"Isn't your relationship with Brother Ming very close?" Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but say, "Aren't you from the same region? Moreover, I've always seen you calling him 'Brother Xu Ming'."

From the same region?

Chi Xue's expression was a little lonely—it was more than just from the same region… to be precise, they were from the same village! Moreover, she grew up under the protection of "Xu Ming."

"Our relationship is a bit complicated," Chi Xue said casually.

Jiang Qingyue, being a shrewd person, also wisely didn't ask any further questions.

…

While several geniuses were secretly pulling strings to ask for help, Xu Ming had already given Hua Jianying eight sets of facial pampering!

The geniuses watching the battle were stunned!

"This Hua Jianying is truly a tough guy!—He's already had eight sets, and he still refuses to admit defeat!"

"Hard man! Absolutely a hard man!"

"Yes! A true iron-blooded man!—With such a strong willpower, no wonder he was ranked second in the previous ranking battle!"

Some geniuses who knew Hua Jianying couldn't help but wonder: "That's not right… willpower has always been Hua Jianying's weakness! His willpower is much weaker than Zhao Wenwei and Du Qianxiong, how could he last so long?"

"Could it be… that Hua Jianying has specially honed his willpower in these fifty years? That's why he can last so long?"

"A scholar who has been away three days must be looked at with new eyes!"

"Look, nine sets!"

"Wow, Hua Jianying is still persevering and hasn't admitted defeat!—It seems he's going to challenge ten sets!"

"Terrifying willpower! Terrifying resilience!"

…

Hua Jianying, who was being slapped on the battle stage, felt like crying as he listened to the surrounding discussions.

Damn! Who told you my willpower is strong?

Damn! Who told you I don't want to admit defeat?

Is it that I don't want to admit defeat?—No!!

It's that I'm being slapped so much that I don't even have the chance to admit defeat!

Hua Jianying's greatest wish now was to be able to kneel and kowtow comfortably like Du Qianxiong and Zhao Wenwei.

What a small, what a simple, what a cheap wish!

But, it can't be realized!

"This Xu Ming is really not human… he's a demon!" Without a doubt, Hua Jianying would never dare to provoke Brother Ming again in his life!

Tenth set, seventh slap, Brand of Shame!

After this slap, Hua Jianying's eyes immediately welled up with tears—the most painful "Brand of Shame" was finally over for him.

"The last slap!"

Suffering has finally come to an end; dawn is about to arrive.
