Survival Arena

```

Chu Ge informed the team members, who were in the middle of training, that the Roaring Tiger Group had been upgraded to Three Stars.

They were all stunned.

Forced to upgrade to Three Stars themselves, they hadn't expected the Roaring Tiger Group to be upgraded too.

A narrow escape from enemies?

"Great! I can finally kill King Kuihu!"

Xiao Hero said, his eyes burning fiercely, like an eagle, and flashing with a dangerous light.

The others also started to get excited.

"Now that we've grown stronger, we're not afraid of the Roaring Tiger Group at all!"

"Hahaha, I hope we encounter them in the next match."

"If we do meet the Roaring Tiger Group, I will definitely spread the word that King Kuihu is the Great King!"

"I like that idea!"

"King Kuihu must feel so embarrassed in the Three Stars Arena."

They discussed excitedly, their hatred for King Kuihu hadn't subsided one bit.

Is it necessary to go easy on a freak?

King Kuihu was so arrogant before, threatening to torment them to death.

Gu Tianjiao sighed, "If only Black Blind could join the Roaring Tiger Group."

Chu Ge, with a head full of black lines, said testily, "You still haven't let go of your grudge against Black Blind?"

Black Blind had suffered multiple defeats at his hands.

By now, he looked down on Black Blind, feeling that the guy wasn't even worthy to be his opponent.

"I've never killed him by myself, though. It was always you who maimed or killed him," said Gu Tianjiao with a shrug.

Women really hold grudges!

Chu Ge smiled helplessly, then turned to the others and said, "The battle for the Great King is getting closer. Everyone, strive to grow stronger. This will be our first Three Stars Competition. I don't expect us to win all our battles, but I also don't want us to suffer badly, understand?"

"Understood!"

The crowd responded in unison, all filled with fighting spirit, except for Xiao Hero.

Arno was the same, highly anticipating the battle for the Great King.

They were sure to encounter many strong opponents!

"Dismissed!"

With these two words, Chu Ge walked to the side and pulled up the list of survival skills.

He now had 5,601 Survival Points.

He hesitated, wondering whether to exchange for another survival skill.

He was already very strong.

His trump card was Raging Flame Separation, a combination of Lion's Fury and Geothermal, an advanced version of both.

He could raise his body temperature until flames ignited on the surface of his skin, and if he stayed angry, the flames would get even hotter.

Of course, he could ignite flames even without being angry.

But the angrier he was, the stronger his flames became!

Beyond Raging Flame Separation, his physical strength was also immense, it could even be described as explosive.

Having exchanged for Strength Enhancement before, he could now knock down an average elephant, that's how terrifying he was!

"Should I take a risk, or play it safe?"

Chu Ge's eyes flickered, tempted to take a bold move.

After all, he had Virtue Points at his disposal. Even if he died, he would have a chance to seek revenge as a Vengeful Ghost.

He had inquired with the Survival Arena and received affirmation; he could become a Vengeful Ghost!

He was caught in a dilemma.

He wanted to exchange for either a [Lv4]Short-snouted Crocodile Biting Force or a [Lv4]Cockroach Reaction Nerves.

Whichever he chose, it would greatly increase his strength.

"Fortune favors the bold... or should I keep my feet on the ground?"

The more Chu Ge thought about it, the more he struggled with the decision.

...

Five days later.

Chu Yingying returned to school.

Chu Ge received a response from Secretary Xu; Boss Jin had agreed to his resignation request and mentioned he could contact Secretary Xu at any time if any issues arose.

It's no accident that successful people succeed; Boss Jin was astute, preferring to be friends rather than foes if partners weren't an option.

In any case, Chu Ge felt like he owed Boss Jin a favor.

Chu Ge didn't immediately tell his parents.

He decided to wait until after the battle for the Great King to have Nangong visit them, and personally tell his parents about his new job.

Nangong owned a startup company, not very big, with assets of just one or two million. Stripping away the monthly expenses, he couldn't afford to spend lavishly himself.

Every day of training steadily improved his physical fitness.

It's worth mentioning that as his physical strength increased, he sometimes accidentally damaged small pieces of furniture. Over time, these mistakes became less frequent.

```

Chu Ge began to enjoy his current life.

Fulfilling but far from ordinary.

Time flew by.

Experience tales with empire

There were only two days left before the Great King's battle began.

Chu Feiqiang and Han Yujuan had already started working; during dinner, Chu Ge announced that he had to go on a business trip.

"Be careful when you're out and about, and now keep away from animals. Don't touch them up close, understand?" Han Yujuan advised while serving Chu Ge food.

Since the battle at Huashan, discussions about wild animals had been unceasing online, with bizarre news about animals trending every day.

Most of it consisted of surveillance footage of Survivors fighting.

"Don't worry, this might be the last trip. Always running around like this is tiring for me as well," Chu Ge said with a smile, laying the groundwork for his eventual independence.

Chu Feiqiang asked, "Are you going to resign?"

Chu Ge shook his head and replied, "First, I'll see if I can get a different job. This time I'm going to observe a type of mouse; it won't be dangerous."

Mice!

Chu Feiqiang and Han Yujuan instantly felt relieved.

Could a mouse harm someone?

It seemed it could.

The dinner conversation continued as the family enjoyed their time together.

...

Early morning.

Chu Ge opened his eyes and picked up the backpack from his desk to enter the Survival House.

The Great King's battle was about to begin!

He arrived at the Team Cultivation Hall, where everyone was already gathered.

Gu Tianjiao, Arno, Xiao Hero, Ye Wukong, Nangong, Xiao Poor Thing, Local Snake.

Looking at his teammates, Chu Ge nodded in satisfaction.

His Survival Team had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to several months ago!

Chu Ge hadn't used his 5601 Survival Points, deciding to be more rational.

If he was lucky this time, he might be able to exchange directly for Lv5 Survival Skills!

A minimum of ten thousand Survival Points was needed for [Lv5]Survival Skills.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"This time, the enemies in the Great King's battle are all Three Stars Survivors, and we might even encounter Survivors who are already Four Stars. Everyone must be cautious and not underestimate the enemy. On Bali Island, we could encounter enemies from land, sea, and air. Unless absolutely necessary, we cannot separate!"

Chu Ge looked around at everyone and began to give a motivational speech.

Everyone listened attentively, even Xiao Hero didn't act like a big shot.

The guy was cold and reserved, mostly quiet and listening.

After Chu Ge finished speaking, everyone began to wait.

Time ticked away second by second.

Until...

"This Survival Competition is for the battle of the Great King!"

"The battle for the Great King..."

"The Survival Competition will begin soon, countdown 30 seconds!"

"29!"

"28!"

...

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Everyone felt the world spinning, their vision turning black.

Chu Ge felt dizzy for a moment but quickly regained consciousness.

He opened his eyes to find himself lying in a forest, with the other teammates nearby.

They all opened their eyes, looking at each other, a sense of wonder in their gazes.

The air was charged with an eerie atmosphere.

"Who's the Great King?" Ye Wukong asked cautiously.

Gu Tianjiao said with a mischievous smile, "Why don't we keep the Great King a secret for now? Otherwise, we might unintentionally protect someone too obviously, making it easy for our enemies to spot a weakness."

Local Snake wailed, "I didn't get the notification; I'm not the Great King! Why does fate work against me? I'm most suited to be the Great King!"

Everyone glanced at him.

Was he starting his performance?

Or was he truly not the Great King?

...

I'm late, got held up for a bit, wuuu.

At least five updates coming tomorrow!
