Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 733 - 735, No Turning Back (Second Update)

Chapter 733: 735, No Turning Back (Second Update)

"It’s not over yet, the main event is the real deal. Who wins and who loses is still up in the air."

"I’m really looking forward to the main event later."

"Is the level of competition in Area A that bad? Just one move! Just one move and all these people are on their knees?"

"I can’t wait for the main event. I hope the goddess won’t let me down."

At the judging table, the Second Elder immediately lifted his eyes to Mo Zhixuan and demanded, "Did you rig this? Chu Jin is nothing but a commoner, how could she..."

Mo Zhixuan let out a cold snort, too lazy to bother with the First Elder.

The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Elders also looked quite displeased. Clearly, none had expected Chu Jin to be the final victor of Area A.

Moreover, she defeated the other 28 people by herself.

Dai Yu had simply picked up the pieces and won by lying low.

This was utterly inconceivable!

As far as they knew, among the 28 people in Area A, there were 15 from the Superpower World, and the others came from surrounding countries and two other realms.

Furthermore, two of them were ranked in the top twenty.

It made no sense for these people to lose to a commoner from the secular world.

And throughout the whole process, Chu Jin did not even make a move.

With just one kick, she had taken out everyone, which was simply too unbelievable.

Could it be that Mo Zhixuan had bribed those contestants?

The Second Elder frowned tightly, very nervous. He didn’t understand how Chu Jin, who he had never considered a threat, could display such explosive power?

What kind of trickery had she pulled?

How exactly did Chu Jin, a commoner, defeat those people?

The King of Hades and Mu Fengshan were also very pleased.

The Empress is indeed the Empress!

She certainly did not disappoint them!

Mu Fengshan was still updating the rankings, he excitedly held up his tablet and said to the King of Hades, "Five million! Her Majesty Phoenix’s votes have reached five million!"

This included not only help from the Ancient Martial Arts World and the Underworld but also thanks to the netizens watching the live broadcast on their screens.

One could say, that battle just now netted Chu Jin countless fans.

She gained many admirers from the Superpower World!

However, many were still watching and waiting for the main event coming up.

If there might have been a chance for cheating in the preliminary rounds,

then in this main event, there would be no opportunity to cheat at all.

Only the best of the best could make it to the main event.

Needless to say, Shangguan Lingluo is definitely going to advance.

Then, we will be able to witness the contest between two generations of Empresses.

The results of the competition in Area A came out first.

Because of Chu Jin, it only took 5 minutes to deal with those 28 people.

One move decided the outcome.

When Chu Jin headed for the main event arena, the other three areas hadn’t finished their contests yet.

It was about ten minutes later when Xi He came over.

"Jin, congratulations," she said upon seeing Chu Jin, not the least bit surprised because Xi He had always known that Chu Jin was not an ordinary person. Her guess was right.

At the same time, Xi He’s heart gradually relaxed, and soon, she would devote all her energy to dealing with Shangguan Lingluo and Su Yuqiao, trying to lessen the burden on Chu Jin and Gan Yuying as much as possible.

"Thank you," said Chu Jin, lifting her eyes with a faint smile.

Then it was Gan Yuying’s turn.

When Gan Yuying arrived, she was utterly astonished. She’d never imagined that Chu Jin could win.

"Jin, did you step in dog poop when you left the house this morning? You actually made it to the main event!" Gan Yuying exclaimed excitedly, hugging Chu Jin.

Gan Yuying had been thinking to herself, if she didn’t see Chu Jin, she would withdraw from the competition.

Unexpectedly, Chu Jin’s luck was really unstoppable.

Since the locations of each area were quite far apart, Gan Yuying hadn’t seen Chu Jin’s performance.

"I told you I was incredible. You still didn’t believe me. How about now? Do you believe me?" Chu Jin’s eyebrows lifted slightly, her tone light.

"Amazing, amazing," Gan Yuying gave her a thumbs-up and then asked, "Jin, tell me, how did you manage to stay until the end? Who was your partner?"

Gan Yuying wasn’t distrusting Chu Jin, she just hadn’t seen any sign of Spiritual Power from her.

How could someone with no Spiritual Power defeat so many people?

Nobody would have thought that Chu Jin wasn’t without Spiritual Power, but rather, her Spiritual Power was so profound that it automatically concealed itself.

Typically, those who conceal their power automatically are some of the big shots.

Who could have imagined that a child raised in the secular world could become such a powerhouse?

So, Gan Yuying thought that Chu Jin had gotten lucky.

Even though Chu Jin didn’t possess Spiritual Power, in Gan Yuying’s eyes, Chu Jin was no ordinary person.

After all, she was still the calculative Master Chu with such maturity; staying until the end in Area A shouldn’t be a problem for her.

Chu Jin raised her brows lightly, smiling as she said, "With me here, my partner is basically lying down to win, okay? One big move from me, and they’re all wiped out! My partner doesn’t even need to lift a finger."

Her tone was casual, yet her expression was very serious.

"Keep bragging," Gan Yuying dismissed her boasting and looked at Chu Jin, continuing to ask, "Do you know why there are no bulls in the Superpower World?"

Chu Jin slightly lifted her gaze towards Gan Yuying and blinked, "Why?"

Those delicate, peach blossom-like eyes sparkled with waves of light, shining brilliantly like dazzling stars, mysterious, radiant, and so beautiful it seemed unreal. Even Gan Yuying, a woman, had her breath taken away for a moment.

Gan Yuying kept reminding herself in her mind, "I like men, I’m not bent."

Gan Yuying reached out and poked Chu Jin’s head, "Because they were all blown away by your bragging!"

Chu Jin laughed softly, her voice light as she said, "It should be that they were blown away by your bragging!"

"The one who’s bragging is you," Gan Yuying said as she continued to poke Chu Jin’s head.

Just then, Xi He came over to interrupt their conversation, saying slowly, "Actually, luck is also a form of strength, Jin. It’s all on you in a bit."

Gan Yuying couldn’t quite understand these words; looking at Xi He’s demeanor, it seemed like she’d placed all her hope on Chu Jin, whom apparently wasn’t here just to ’win’ this trial.

These two, they didn’t seem like competitors at all.

Before Chu Jin could reply, Xi He turned to Gan Yuying and said, "Yuying, I will go all out to restrain Su Yuqiao and Shangguan Lingluo later, and leave the rest of the six people to you and Jin."

Su Yuqiao and Shangguan Lingluo were indeed the most formidable competitors in this match.

Especially Su Yuqiao, whose strength was unfathomably deep.

"Okay," Gan Yuying nodded seriously.

When Mu Xianxian and Shangguan Lingluo arrived, they were also stunned. Clearly, they had not expected to see Chu Jin in the main competition field.

Shangguan Lingluo glared at Chu Jin like she wanted to set her on fire. How did this commoner Chu Jin manage to get to the main competition field by such means?

But, she wasn’t too concerned about this commoner.

Once the competition started, she would definitely torment her fiercely.

Torment Chu Jin until she couldn’t tell north from south, east from west.

Mu Xianxian’s hands were tightly clasped together.

She knew.

Everyone who appeared in the main competition field was a top-notch expert.

Chu Jin and Gan Yuying were close, and Xi He seemed to be on very good terms with them; the situation was very disadvantageous for herself.

"Empress Shangguan, let’s form an alliance," Mu Xianxian said in a lowered voice to Shangguan Lingluo.

Mu Xianxian was a person who knew the times; she understood that in this situation, she could only rely on Shangguan Lingluo.

Against Chu Jin, Xi He, Su Yuqiao, and Gan Yuying, she couldn’t beat any of them. The only strategy left was to please Shangguan Lingluo.

In reality, Mu Xianxian was aware of Chu Jin’s strength. How could Chu Jin be an ordinary commoner? Even if she were ordinary, with Mo Zhixuan’s personality, he wouldn’t let her stay that way.

Now, she only had the option of using Shangguan Lingluo to defeat these four people.

Shangguan Lingluo was skillful and specialized in poison; if she allied with her, there was still a chance to win!

"An alliance?" Shangguan Lingluo looked at Mu Xianxian with disdain and laughed, "Alliances are the acts of weaklings. Do you think I need one?"

Shangguan Lingluo was very confident in herself; since she had been young, she had been trained in these skills by the most top-level masters. If open confrontation didn’t work, there were always covert methods.

She saw no need to fear the other six people here.

Mu Xianxian knew that Shangguan Lingluo looked down on her but she kept her patience, continuing, "Empress Shangguan, from my observation, Chu Jin, Gan Yuying, and Xi He among others have all formed alliances. If we don’t join forces, we definitely won’t be their match. Empress, my skills are no match for yours, so if we form an alliance, I’ll have to rely on you more. I hope if you were to claim the position of the Ninth Lady in the future, you wouldn’t forget I was the one who helped."

The meaning behind these words was quite clear.

Mu Xianxian was willing to bow out and assist Shangguan Lingluo.

But was that the real truth? Perhaps only Mu Xianxian herself knew clearly at this point; given how things had developed, Mu Xianxian certainly wouldn’t forget the saying, "While the praying mantis catches the cicada, the oriole waits behind."

In this world, isn’t it all about you using me and me using you?

Where can real feelings be found?

How could she easily give up the position of the Ninth Lady!

"Are you serious?" Shangguan Lingluo narrowed her eyes, full of scrutiny.

"Of course, I am," Mu Xianxian said, deliberately lowering her voice and looking sincere, trying to ingratiate herself, "Empress, I’m someone who understands the situation. Since I can’t win anyway, why not help you win?"

"Okay," Shangguan Lingluo nodded, "then I’ll form an alliance. I hope you remember your own words."

Actually, Shangguan Lingluo wasn’t a fool either; she knew very well what Mu Xianxian was planning.

But at that moment, the situation was too unfavorable for her, so she had to go along with it.

Mu Xianxian thinking she could use her wouldn’t be so easy.

The main competition field’s contest also entered the countdown.

Eight people stood facing each other in two rows.

The live broadcast’s barrage had already gone crazy.

These eight individuals were not only top-notch experts but also boasted exceptional appearances, making the scene even more exciting than a beauty contest.

"Shout out for the great Empress!"

"Oh my god! Finally, we get to see what the only female bounty hunter looks like!"

"Jin is the prettiest!"

"The title of number one beauty might change hands."

"Two empresses on the same stage, who do you think is more formidable?"

"Go Jin! Crush them all."

"This is the real trial arena!"

"So excited! We’ve finally reached the main stage! Ahhh! Keep up the counterattack, Jin!"

"The one in black on the left is Su Yuqiao."

"Yuqiao is so pretty!"

"But it’s my Jin who is the prettiest."

"Jin, go for it!"

"To the comment above, be patriotic!"

"Wow wow wow! So many beauties! I’m gonna lick the screen!"

"Screenshot taken."

"Could the Little Princess have been raised on cuteness?"

"My great Empress is the most domineering!"

"Heh, as domineering as my Jin?"

"My Jin has the highest value."

"The other seven aren’t even on the same level as Chu Jin, okay?"

"Indeed, they can’t compare."

"Some people are really funny. Can being good-looking be eaten as food?"

"In the trial arena, it’s all about strength."

"Indeed, it’s about strength."

Gan Yuying whispered to Chu Jin, "Jin, remember to stay behind me, okay? Don’t worry, with Xi He and me here, you’ll definitely win by doing nothing."

Chu Jin nodded slightly without offering much of an explanation.

Gan Yuying was convinced she was an ordinary person with no Spiritual Power, and even if she explained too much, Gan Yuying wouldn’t believe her anyway.

Their conversation was so quiet that no one else could hear it, except for Su Yuqiao and Shangguan Lingluo, whose ears twitched.

Su Yuqiao remained expressionless, showing an extremely cold demeanor but a glimmer of light seemed to flicker in her eyes.

Chu Jin needed Gan Yuying’s protection?

Gan Yuying was probably thinking too much.

Despite her detached appearance, Su Yuqiao’s judgment of people was never wrong.

Shangguan Lingluo scornfully curled her lip, scoffing. She had thought Chu Jin was really some expert, but in fact, she was just a pathetic creature who hid behind others.

Gan Yuying herself was a fool, a distinguished princess from the Underworld, allying herself with a commoner.

And to protect a commoner at that.

Self-degradation.

The referee on the high platform began to announce, "The competition starts!"

Shangguan Lingluo stood opposite Chu Jin, arrogantly lifting her chin and slowly saying, "Miss Chu, I don’t care how you managed to get to the main stage, but as long as I am here, I will not let someone like you, a commoner, contaminate the land of the Superpower World!"

Shangguan Lingluo’s remark was quite interesting.

She was implying that Chu Jin had not won the previous match with genuine strength.

In any competition, there are a hundred ways to cheat.

As soon as these words came out, the barrage erupted yet again.

Some people were praising the Empress’s might, while others accused Shangguan Lingluo of being petty.

How could there be cheaters in such a game?

A woman beside Shangguan Lingluo also sneered, "Exactly, someone like you doesn’t deserve to share the stage with us! A commoner daring to come here is begging for death!"

Everyone remaining on the main stage was not to be underestimated, except for Chu Jin.

In their eyes, Chu Jin was just a lowly commoner, someone without even the right to carry their shoes, yet she dared to compete with them for the position as the ninth wife, wasn’t that overestimating herself?

It must have been Mo Zhixuan intentionally going easy that allowed Chu Jin to appear on the main stage.

"Miss Chu, I’ll give you a chance. Kowtow to us here and admit your mistake, and we’ll let you lose a bit more gracefully later, not too embarrassingly. Let me tell you, it’s 15 meters above the ground here. Someone like you, a commoner, if you fall from here, you’ll probably end up half-dead, crippled!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than all but Gan Yuying and Xi He began to snicker quietly.

Su Yuqiao appeared aloof as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Chu Jin lowered her gaze slightly, a faint smile curling at the corner of her mouth, as she looked down upon these people from her superior position, "Commoner? What’s wrong with being a commoner? Believe it or not, even a commoner can beat you all down!"

She stood there, bathed in sunlight that cast a faint halo around her, those eyes under the sun—exquisite and captivating, stark in their contrast of black and white.

A gentle breeze passed by, blowing through her disheveled hair.

The barrage of comments was lively.

"My dear Miss Chu Jin, must you be so wildly arrogant?"

"Chu Jin is so badass, 666!"

"Haha, I’m just an ordinary person, but I can still thrash you all."

"That boast seems a bit over the top, though."

"Exactly! What’s wrong with being an ordinary person? Did ordinary people eat your family’s food? What era are we in to still have this kind of discrimination!"

"That lady over there, just a kind reminder, before the Three Realms were formed, everyone was an ordinary person!"

"An ordinary person is just that—an ordinary person! Ordinary people are indeed inferior! Supporting our great Empress."

"Idiots!"

"Wow! Watching this gets my blood boiling! I feel like jumping in and fighting!"

"Go for it, Brother Jin!"

"Damn, Big Boss is so awesome!"

"To be honest, Shangguan Lingluo seems a bit too arrogant."

"Starting to dislike the Empress."

"Supporting our Empress, an ordinary person doesn’t have the right to be here!"

"Empress, ruthlessly crush her!"

In the main arena, upon hearing Chu Jin say that, Shangguan Lingluo narrowed her eyes, clenched her fists, and condensed a ball of light, "Miss Chu Jin, today I’ll let you witness the difference between mud and the bright moon!"

Shangguan Lingluo’s speed was too fast! The ball of light attacked towards Chu Jin with an incisive momentum!

At the same moment, the other six contestants also sprang into action!

"Jin, dodge quickly!" Gan Yuying took out a Magic Artifact to block the incoming light ball.

"Boom!" The colossal light ball collided with the Magic Artifact, creating a massive wave of light.

The entire platform shook.

The others also lost their balance, staggering for a few moments before barely managing to stand firm.

"What’s going on? Why would the Little Princess save Chu Jin?"

"Little Princess, did you make a mistake? Chu Jin is your enemy, hey!"

"Brother Jin, weren’t you going to thrash someone? Why are you hiding behind the Little Princess now?"

"I was waiting for Brother Jin to slap them in the face!"

"Weakling! Chu Jin is such a weakling! Run when you can’t beat them, what kind of skill is that?"

"Our Empress is truly domineering. If it weren’t for the Little Princess’s meddling, Chu Jin would already be a lost soul under our Empress’s control."

"What’s going on with Brother Jin?"

"Am I blind? What happened to thrashing them? Brother Jin, is this your way of doing it?"

"Chu Jin, how can you be so cowardly!"

"Disappointed!"

"Sigh... all my passion, and this is what you show me?"

"Dodged it?"

Seizing the opportunity when Shangguan Lingluo was facing off against Gan Yuying, Su Yuqiao squinted her eyes, drew a curved blade from her waist, and stabbed straight at Xi He’s back

Clearly, Su Yuqiao had come for Xi He, her eyes filled with a fierce intent to kill.

Xi He reacted quickly, leaping to avoid the curved blade. She flicked the red string in her hand, which seemed to come alive as it rapidly entangled the blade.

That red string was Xi He’s weapon.

Obviously, Xi He had underestimated Su Yuqiao’s strength. Initially, she thought she could hold off both Su Yuqiao and Shangguan Lingluo alone, but now, face to face with just Su Yuqiao, she was struggling, not to mention two of them.

Xi He, aside from Shangguan Lingluo, was the second most formidable contender. Seeing Su Yuqiao attacking Xi He, the other two women exchanged glances and joined the fray.

Three against one!

The Elders on the platform, including the Sixth Elder, were so excited that they stood up, all worried for Xi He.

Xi He did possess remarkable abilities and great talent, but among those who remained until the end, wasn’t everyone a true master?

In a three-against-one situation, Xi He was likely at a disadvantage.

Especially that Su Yuqiao, wielding her curved blade lethally, as if she held a deep grudge against Xi He.

"This is..." The Third Elder gazed at Su Yuqiao on the platform, her pupils dilated dramatically as large beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks, "That’s the child from back then!"

As these words emerged, the complexions of the other Elders changed.

"Second brother, what should we do?" The Third Elder gripped the hand of the Second Elder, panic evident in her eyes.

The Second Elder, watching the main arena, said calmly, "A bow drawn cannot be undone."
