The final farce of the martial arts competition
[The truth behind the leader’s appearance is revealed]
At three quarters past four, the true leader of the martial arts world—a white-haired elder—approached the arena, leaning on a cane carved with the totem of the Heaven-Swallowing Rat (a foreshadowing from the previous chapter). He glanced at the remains of Grand Master Zhao's tentacle head and declared in a resounding voice, "Zhao has colluded with the forces of the Abyss and attempted to manipulate the martial arts world with a forged marriage certificate. He deserves death!"
The tentacle head of Grand Tutor Zhao screamed: "Old leader! How long do you think the seal of the Concept Rat Tribe can last? Lin Shen's blood..." Before he could finish his words, it was eaten up by Xiaodou, leaving the afterimage of the data stream of "14-01" in his stomach (a foreshadowing of the cyberpunk chapter).
【Aman wins the championship by accident】
"Next, it will be Miss Aman and the Huashan Sect disciples' turn to fight it out!" the referee announced loudly.
Ah Man grasped the Marshmallow Meteor Hammer (Chapter 1 Prop Recycling) that Xiao Dou had handed him and swung it around with his eyes closed. The school hunk deliberately exposed his weakness, and the hammer smeared his face with frosting. The audience erupted in laughter: "The Huashan Sect actually lost to Marshmallow!"
"I, I give up!" The school hunk held his forehead helplessly, but whispered as he got close to A-Man, "In fact, I've known for a long time that you and Xiaodou are the real 'strange men in the world'." His sleeves slipped down, revealing the same "Abyss" tattoo as Lin Shen in the modern story (echoing across volumes).
[The highlight moment of Meng Zhua Gong]
Xiaodou jumped onto the leader's throne, curling his tail around the "Nine Yin Cute Claws Tutorial" and squeaking loudly - actually shouting: "Don't use marriage certificates to deceive people in the future! Otherwise, I'll rain nuts on you!"
With a flick of its claws, it unleashed a torrent of rainbow-colored nuts from its warp-like maw, each etched with words like "Break Engagement" and "Freedom." The remnants of Grand Tutor Zhao's followers were sent fleeing in panic, and one of them dropped a jade pendant inscribed with the name "Lin Shen" in small seal script (a foreshadowing across the entire volume).
The Royal Cat's True Identity Revealed
"Silence!" The Royal Cat leaped onto the stage, removing its official hat to reveal the mechanical cat markings on the tips of its ears (a cross-volume identity). "I am Guardian 002, under Lin Shen's orders to monitor the martial arts world." It turned to Xiaodou and held out the "Rat Tribe Special Detective" badge with its paw. "Your cross-world crime-solving abilities are worthy of a medal."
Xiaodou held the badge in his mouth, and suddenly saw the cyberpunk data stream flashing in the eyes of the royal cat. The voice of the mechanical cat rang in his ears: "No. 003 is on standby in the campus chapter, No. 002, please return to your position as soon as possible."
【Tender moments of cross-volume props】
Ye Li took out the interstellar energy chocolate (a foreshadowing in Chapter 6) and handed it to Xiaodou: "Eat it on the way, it's considered a 'divorce gift'." After biting into the chocolate, the holographic words "See you in the Western Fantasy Continent" appeared on the inside, resonating with the information about the Dragon Bone Mountains in Xiaodou's stomach.
The school hunk walked over to A-Man and pulled out a milk tea cup from the Modern Chapter (a cross-volume prop) from his arms: "Actually, I... am the guardian sent by Lin Shen to assist you. The pearls in this cup of milk tea are the Gathering Spirit Pearls from the Cultivation Chapter."
- Topic dialogue:
Royal Cat (twisting its tail): "Marriage should not be a bond of contract, just as a mouse should not be kept in a cage."
Xiaodou (writing in her diary while wagging her tail): "Sweetness is the sugar coating of freedom, and I want to be the sweetest wind!"
- Hook 1:
In the brocade box given by the leader, in addition to the fox fur from the demon world, there was also half a dragon scale map from the Western Fantasy Chapter, and the mark on the map was exactly "Dragon Bone Mountain Range";
- Hook 2:
Lin Shen's voice suddenly rang out from the school hunk's communicator: "No. 005, protect Xiaodou, the elemental storm of the Western Fantasy Chapter is coming..." (the first time the school hunk's number was revealed);
- Hook 3:
The rune on Xiaodou's claw heart lit up with an eighth glimmer of light, resonating with the number "002" on the Royal Cat's collar, spelling out the letter combination "L·S" in the air - the abbreviation of "Lin Shen".
【Visual memory point】
- A silhouette of Xiaodou standing on the leader's throne and wagging his tail during a nut rainstorm;
- The details of the Royal Cat's ear tips trembling when he takes off his hat to reveal the mechanical pattern;
- The school hunk and A-man stood side by side, with marshmallow crumbs flying all over the sky behind them.
