After a long period of being washed by the Shadow Stream, most of the talisman characters on Ye Zhihan's body were finally cleared, but because controlling the Shadow Stream consumed too much true energy, his condition became very bad and he couldn't even stand steadily.

At this moment, Mingluo just wanted to do his best to act as a crutch to support Ye Zhihan to stand steadily.

"Ye Zhihan, what if another contestant comes up later?" Ming Luo asked worriedly. Now Ye Zhihan was injured on top of the injury, and he was afraid that he could not hold on any longer.

"Don't worry, it's all over."

The person who answered the question was not Ye Zhihan, but a spirited old man with white hair.

Ming Luo looked at the old man with curiosity, and asked tentatively, "Elder Suma?"

"That's right." Elder Suma wiped his white beard with a kind expression.

Ming Luo always felt that this old man was weird. He had a head full of white hair and a carefully trimmed white beard, but his skin was rosy and plump, and he didn't look like an old man at all. Based on the spirit and energy shown by Elder Suma, he could probably get into the top three if he participated in a marathon now.

"Elder Suma, you are very handsome~" Since he is the only designated boss of Suma Continent, Mingluo naturally has to say something good about him. After all, she is still counting on this old man to save Ye Zhihan and let her return to the human world.

"You are very cute too, little girl!" Elder Suma smiled and seemed very happy to see Mingluo.

"Elder Suma, can you save Ye Zhihan? He was beaten by other contestants." Ming Luo could not hide her worry in her eyes, and she looked at Elder Suma for help.

Elder Suma looked at the two people in front of him, one big and one small, with a playful look in his eyes. He then turned his hands behind his back and asked Mingluo, "Why don't you let me take you home first?"

Ming Luo hurriedly said that Ye Zhihan’s injury was the most important thing now, and her return home could be postponed for the time being. It would not be too late for her to return home after Ye Zhihan was safe.

Elder Suma smiled heartily and waved his hand. All the remaining talismans on Ye Zhihan's body disappeared.

However, Elder Suma didn't seem to intend to help in vain. He smiled and said to Mingluo, "I was asked by an old friend to help you. Since you asked me to save him first, you have to rely on your own strength to return to the human world. Do you regret it?"

Ming Luo tilted his head to look at the man he was supporting. His face was pale from injuries compounded by injuries, and his long eyelashes covered his eyelids, revealing a hint of frosty blue indifference. Such an icy patient, living alone in the demon-infested Suma Continent, would likely die in a corner without anyone noticing if he wasn't cared for.

Mingluo shook her head firmly, her face full of determination, and said, "I don't regret it."

Even if he couldn't get Elder Suma to help her go home, he would definitely send her home when Ye Zhihan became a cross-border person. This was what they had agreed on in the underground river.

Elder Suma looked at Mingluo's stubborn, dark eyes, his expression froze. How many years had it been since he last saw those eyes? As if recalling the past, Elder Suma caressed Mingluo's head lovingly, like he was coaxing a good child.

"Elder Suma, who won the selection competition?" Ming Luo asked.

"It's obvious, it's you, good boy." Elder Suma looked around. Muli fainted, Ye Zhihan was seriously injured and lost his combat ability, and Hui Jianzhi was locked in the shadow space by Ming Luo, so now on the finals venue on the top floor of the entire floating island, there was only the extremely weak Ming Luo left.

"Are you sure?" Ming Luo waved his hands repeatedly.

"I can't. I'm not a contestant. Elder Suma, you know that I don't belong to this world. How can I be the ferryman?" If she became a ferryman, let alone maintaining the balance between the two worlds and preventing the human world from being invaded by the Suma continent, she would definitely be the first to die.

"Have you ever thought that in the entire human world, you are the only one who can come to the Suma Continent, and this is not an accident?" Elder Suma continued, the white beard on his mouth jumping up and down, looking particularly naughty.

"Huh? How did I get here?" Ming Luo asked curiously. How could she not have thought about these things? But she knew too little about the Suma Continent, and no matter how much she thought about it, she could not come to a conclusion.

"I accidentally defined you as a contestant. This must be because you have a connection with the Suma Continent." Elder Suma winked at Mingluo mischievously, with a naughty look on his face. It was quite interesting to tease the little girl, but he did not tell Mingluo the real reason why she came to the Suma Continent.

Ming Luo curled her lips helplessly. It was not a mistake for the boss to make a mistake, that was the origin. Ming Luo really wanted this weird old man to send her home immediately!

"Elder Suma, I really can't be a ferryman. Please stop trying to persuade me. I want to live two more days so I can go home and take care of my mother." Ming Luo said it directly and didn't want to say anything more.

Elder Suma pretended to sigh with regret. In fact, he already had a genuine candidate for the cross-border trekker in his mind. He was just teasing Mingluo just now. This little girl was really hard to tease. She was just like his old friend.

Then Elder Suma thought to himself that as a cross-border enthusiast, he should first be kind to humans, instead of treating them as tools for cultivation and food to fill his stomach. Elder Suma saw all of Ye Zhihan's care for Ming Luo in the cross-border enthusiast selection competition, so it was natural that Ye Zhihan was elected as the new cross-border enthusiast.

Thinking that there was an angry Hui Jianzhi in Ye Zhihan's shadow space, Elder Suma said mysteriously to Ming Luo: "You must not reveal your human identity. I will put you into the young boy's shadow later, and then you just follow him for the time being."

Having said that, Elder Suma waved his hand again, swapped the positions of Mingluo and Huijianzhi, and then carried the three contestants out of the space of the Crossing the Border Selection Competition.

Mingluo returned to the familiar shadow and had to hide inside, observing the outside world silently.

After leaving the Crossing Realm, they arrived at a spacious hall, surrounded by a large crowd of people who seemed to be arguing about something.

A slightly charming female voice said, "Elder Suma, how can we allow that wanderer from nowhere to be a ferryman? He doesn't even have a family, and he's not supervised by his family. What if something goes wrong?"

A strong male voice said, "I agree with the Spirit Clan elders. This kid's origins are unknown, his moves are dirty, and I don't know where he learned these evil techniques. I don't feel safe using someone like him as a border crosser!"

A slow male voice said, "This kid killed the only son of the Miao family during the selection competition. I'm afraid such a cruel person can't take on the responsibility of a Realm Crosser. Don't you think so, Dragon Clan Elder?"

The dragon elders seemed to ignore the slow-paced man and chose to watch from the sidelines.

Instead, a woman dressed in luxurious attire responded with tears in her eyes, "My son Muli was healthy when he went in, but when he came out, his strength had been reduced by 30%. Now there's a bloody hole in his stomach, and even his eyes are blind! Don't think I don't know what you're all up to. If you don't explain to my son today, I'll fight to the death to prevent you from getting what you want!"
