I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

“Master, I… am really not as good as that person.”

“Brother, I doubt the fairness of this council’s allocation rules, otherwise how could such a match occur…”

No matter what they said, the team leaders thought they were just making excuses and were very disappointed. They felt that their juniors, after encountering real setbacks, were not reflecting on their mistakes but instead trying to shirk responsibility, even though they had already experienced so much hardship.

They can only blame it on the fact that they didn't have enough courage on this big stage.

Of course, the person in charge would also consider the veracity of the explanation, but... whether it's true or not, you've made such a huge fool of yourself, how can I not give you a piece of my mind? If I don't give you a piece of my mind, won't I be the only one getting scolded when I get back?

After a while, people were eliminated one after another. The first batch to be eliminated were quite nervous, but when they found out that they were not the first to be kicked out, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After all... the first place is always the easiest to remember and the most eye-catching.

The group that was killed by Wuxiang was the most anxious when they returned. They had all prepared themselves to be the fastest extras, but when they learned that they were not among the worst off, they were actually pleasantly surprised.

In less than half a day, the final round of the competition was over, which meant that the preliminary selection was officially finished.

"The video of the match has been sent to the relevant parties. If you have any questions about the match, you can watch it."

After receiving instructions from the Speaker, a member of parliament addressed all the guests.

"Prior to this, the parliamentary system selected the best ten clips of this competition."

With a wave of his hand, the council member projected a large screen over the central island, showing footage of the tenth-ranked person. Remarkably, no matter which direction you looked at the screen, it appeared to be facing the same person.

The shots kept playing until the second shot, where a white-clad man with an ethereal appearance and demeanor easily defeated the other contestants.

The parents of the "other contestants" were shocked when they saw the video. But despite their anger, they could see from the video that their children had really tried their best. It was just that this person was too toxic. However, this only increased the curiosity of the others. If even this dark horse could not get first place, then what was the situation with the first place winner?

So when the first clip was played, they watched with twitching lips as a thin-looking young man with messy hair and an unserious expression chased after a much stronger man and beat him mercilessly.

"Is this what you call trying your best?"

"But I really can't beat him..."

In this wave, the others were forgiven, but the one who was beaten to the ground by Li Wei was beaten to the ground by his own older brother.

"Don't you guys think that the first and second place winners... look a bit alike?"

"It must be a coincidence. The world is so big, there are countless people who look alike."

Quite a few people noticed this, but they only paid a little attention to it. No one thought it was just an occasional resemblance, and besides, their styles and temperaments were completely different.

Although Li Wei and Wu Xiang were quite eye-catching this time, the others were not so shocked, because they all came to a similar conclusion as Hunter of Thunder Shennuo: the preliminary round is just the preliminary round, and the real winners and losers will be determined later.

However… only Hunter Shennuo frowned slightly after seeing Li Wei and Wuxiang’s performance, as if he was deep in thought.

"These two people..."

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it."

The Reincarnation Academy—

"This rascal, even on a stage of this caliber, can't hide his brilliance," the Queen of Slaughter said with a smile.

Koro-sensei took a few bites of the donut Liu Yiqiang had left behind before he left, and then said, "There's a saying, 'A bastard can live for a thousand years and cause harm to countless people.'"

"I was a little worried that this kid might not be up to par, but it seems I was overthinking it."

"He's still working so hard to mess with people, hahaha... I can already imagine how that big guy will get a beating when he gets back."

"You're just gloating," the Queen of Slaughter rolled her eyes at him.

"However, I don't know why, but I always feel that... the guy who came in second place seems to have some kind of relationship with Li Wei."

"Forget it, your women's intuition is always..." Koro-sensei swallowed hard after being pricked by a gaze, and said, "Very accurate."

"I wonder how far this kid can go." The Queen of Slaughter withdrew her gaze and then said, "Do you think he could actually win first place in the finals?"

"He doesn't seem to have let us down."

"Right."

"Let's wait and see. The council will broadcast the recording of the upcoming final match."

Koro-sensei said seriously, "This is their era, the stage for new talents."

"Actually, I always had a feeling that that kid would steal all the lights on the stage."

……

Li Wei was unaware of what was happening outside, because he and his fellow finalists had directly entered a new instance, while Li Wei now found himself, to his dismay, sitting on a wooden plank, adrift at sea...

I just got a board at the start, what's next? I need help urgently.

PS:

Chapter 356 Isn't this color very masculine?

Li Wei discovered that he seemed to have entered a very spiritual instance this time. Why did he say that?

Unlike before, this time when he entered the dungeon, he was surprised to find that there were no system prompts. That's right, there were no dungeon world prompts or quest prompts. No goals were set for him at all. In other words, this time the dungeon had a lot of freedom.

However, this freedom also means an increase in difficulty, because Li Wei did not forget that this is a competitive instance. The winner can receive a reward from the council. That is to say, although no mission has been issued, there must be a scoring standard in the council, and this scoring must be very fair. Fairness means that it will be accepted by many forces.

"Is there a winning formula that can be accepted by everyone...?"

Li Wei smiled. Regarding this condition for winning, he could only think of one thing—

Take them all down!

That's right, as long as everyone else is defeated, he will be the undisputed number one.

Besides, even if he doesn't figure out this so-called standard of victory, Li Wei came here to make headlines anyway. What he needs to figure out first is whether this instance is a world he has never heard of. If not, then where is this place? Will it be like the previous exchange competition, where without the system's assistance, he would have to spend a "large amount" of time and waste a "many" of his precious life on learning the local language?

These aren't the most important things right now. His immediate priority is... finding a place to get ashore. He can't stay at sea forever...

"But the current attributes... have they really been weakened after all...?"

When Li Wei arrived in this world, he could feel that his strength, agility, and other subtle aspects such as nerve reflex speed had dropped by many levels. Although he hadn't reached the level of an ordinary person, he was only barely at the extraordinary level.

Just as Li Wei was pondering, a sudden surge occurred on the sea surface, and a creature several meters thick, resembling a giant sea serpent, emerged. Its enormous mouth opened, revealing countless sharp teeth, and the serpent monster's saliva dripped continuously as it looked at Li Wei.

"This speed of emergence has already surpassed mine in terms of attributes."

Li Wei roughly analyzed the gravity and volume of the water, and from its rapid movements, it was easy to see that the snake monster, not to mention anything else, had already surpassed him in strength. In addition, the sea was its home ground, so it could be said that Li Wei was at a disadvantage from the start.

"I always feel like I'm easily targeted," Li Wei chuckled. "But it's okay, how else can I show my uniqueness?"

"Hey, are you hungry?"

The sea monster naturally couldn't understand Li Wei's words. While Li Wei was talking to himself, the monster lunged at Li Wei's mouth and tried to bite him.

"Looks like you're hungry, just as I am."

"Seeing how thirsty you are, I'll reluctantly let you eat me first," Li Wei said. Just as the snake's mouth was about to reach him, he kicked his leg and crawled inside...

Sea monster: ? ? ?

For a moment it was a little confused, because after ruling the ocean for so long, this was the first time it had encountered such a stupid food, and it even chose the wrong direction to escape.

However, as a creature with a relatively simple mind, it had no room for thought; it only had a fleeting emotion. Moreover, given its size, Li Wei could only be considered a snack, like a dessert, and it still had to find other food to fill its stomach.

However, just as it was about to dive down to continue hunting, it suddenly felt its head, or rather, all the nerves in its body, twitch as if it had been struck by lightning. Its whole body began to tremble, and then its eyes, which had been full of bestiality, suddenly became lifeless. A little behind its head, a bloodied figure emerged.

Li Wei.

The blood was not from his injury, but from the serpent monster.

"As a way of repaying me for providing you with food, it's not too much to ask that you serve as my mode of transportation, is it?"

"To be honest, I thought so earlier, your red skin isn't pretty at all."

After saying this, the red color on the serpent monster's body gradually faded, and it quickly turned green.

"Look, this shows how fashionable the color of a man's shirt is."

"And this head, it's completely bald."

Li Wei continued to nitpick, and then slowly, the smooth head grew sideburns that resembled those of an Eastern dragon. This made Li Wei ponder for a moment whether he should simply let it grow four claws as well.

This was just talk; the actions just now had left Li Wei somewhat mentally exhausted. "You even want to restrict this...?"

However, this fatigue vanished almost instantly, and Li Wei regained his energy.

Shaking his head, Li Wei steered the Forgiveness Snake in a certain direction. He had just installed another radar inside the Forgiveness Snake, and naturally removed the one he had installed inside himself before.

After defeating the sea monster, Li Wei discovered that his strength had increased. This was not an illusion; since he had almost no physical exertion, he could feel it very clearly.

As he advanced, Li Wei attempted to refine the blood genes of the serpent monster and succeeded, which gave him another boost in power.

Although the council system claims to ban only the ability that the contestant retains, Li Wei understands that the system cannot ban the essence of his ability, because this evolutionary ability originates from his instinct, even though this instinct is far less developed within him now than when he was at his full potential.

……

"Everyone, run! A sea king is attacking!"

The fishermen on a fast-moving fishing boat shouted at the other fishermen who were still fishing and hadn't realized what was happening. The fishermen who heard the shout immediately turned their heads and saw a huge, strange, green-skinned sea monster swimming towards them. Although they didn't understand why this sea monster was so obvious, because usually they would only come out to hunt when they were near food, the fishermen didn't think about it and just ran for their lives.

The green snake was incredibly fast and quickly caught up with the last fishing boat. Just as the fisherman on that boat was in despair, and even seeing the fleeting scenery before his eyes, he suddenly heard human voices.

"Hey kid, where is this place?"

The one who spoke was naturally Li Wei. He had been controlling the snake-skinned monster, swimming towards the nearest populated area. He had considered that his imposing presence might be frightening, but he hadn't expected the fisherman to react with such terror upon hearing Li Wei's words—

"This sea king has become a spirit!"

PS:

Chapter 357 If Heaven had not given birth to Li Wei, the eternal sky would have been shrouded in darkness.

"Little friend, have you ever seen such a handsome fairy?" Li Wei asked speechlessly.

The fisherman was over sixty years old. Although he was of advanced age, he was confident that his eyesight was still good enough that he wouldn't be mistaken. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Wei again.

Covered in blood, he was quite horrifying. Forget about whether he was handsome or ugly; it would be a miracle if he didn't scare people to death.

But the old fisherman wasn't stupid. Seeing that he had a chance to live, he didn't hesitate for long and quickly nodded, saying, "Handsome, handsome, handsome! You are the most handsome sea king I have ever seen."

"..."

"Little friend, didn't the adults in your family teach you to be honest?"

"And I am a human being, no doubt about it."

I'm over sixty years old this year, how can I be a child? But then the old fisherman thought, maybe in this snake monster's eyes I really am a child, because who knows how many years this thing has lived? Maybe it's a thousand-year-old monster, didn't you see that this monster can speak human language and half of its body looks like a human?

The old fisherman was suddenly unsure of the monster's mindset. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Well, you're quite ugly, aren't you?"

Li Wei immediately sneered: "So you really do harbor such slander against me in your heart."

The old fisherman was on the verge of tears. "I just said you were handsome, and you weren't happy about it." But he also realized that the snake monster was just playing around with him before eating him. Thinking this, he simply closed his eyes and waited for death, not resisting or struggling. After all, he was old and had worked hard all his life. It wasn't all smooth sailing, but he had enjoyed and seen a lot. As for enjoying his old age...

Ha ha.

If he could enjoy his retirement, why would he need to go out fishing?

These days are not peaceful, and life is not easy.

Seeing the old fisherman close his eyes and remain silent, Li Wei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Really? He can fall asleep standing up?"

"..."

"You monster, if you want to eat, then eat! Why bother toying with this old man?!" The old man was getting a bit angry, and after giving up, he actually had the courage to talk back.

Li Wei said speechlessly, "I already said I'm a human. Besides, your body is as thick as a dried sausage. Even a real fish monster wouldn't eat you. If it tried to bite you, its teeth would break."

"Are you really human?" The old fisherman began to have doubts, after all, the idea of ​​a sea monster becoming a spirit was still too far-fetched.

"Are you an ability user?"

The old fisherman couldn't help but ask with a sense of awe, but after learning that he had a chance to survive, he became timid again.

"An ability user?" Li Wei shook his head. "I don't know what you mean."

"Uh...aren't you a human who ate a Devil Fruit?" The old fisherman was also a little surprised; he couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Devil Fruit?"

Upon hearing these four words, an anime instantly popped into Li Wei's mind. If he wasn't mistaken, it must be the popular anime—Naruto.

This is an inspirational story about a seemingly useless young man who, after being jilted at his engagement and suffering this major blow in his life, transforms and vows to become the king of transformations. In the anime's finale, the protagonist even marries the male version of himself who was transported from another world—a truly joyous occasion!

"Then this is?"
