After handing over some notes and the map of the Shenzhen Professional Center to Lin Ye and Ke Jue, Huang Li left with Chen Daosheng.

Watching his teacher leave with Huang Li, Lin Ye raised a slight smile.

Then he turned around and walked towards the dormitory area.

There's no denying that the Shenzhen Professional Center is truly top-tier in scale.

According to the map given by Huang Li, Lin Ye's current location is actually just a small part of the staff living area in Shenzhen.

This living area alone is already significantly larger than the entire Shan City Professional Center.

And the place allocated for Champion Battlefield participants to live is just a small courtyard.

Within the living area, there are also facilities like a sports ground, training center, and clinic, making it a well-equipped, comprehensive community despite its small size.

"Lin Ye!"

At this moment, Lin Ye heard someone shouting up ahead.

He looked over and squinted his eyes.

Ke Yue and a group of people walked out from the courtyard.

When Ke Yue saw him, his eyes clearly glanced at Ke Jue beside Lin Ye, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

Lin Ye sensed a slight discord in the air.

Just as Lin Ye thought, the relationship between Ke Yue and Ke Jue was indeed not harmonious.

Without exchanging any words, Ke Jue directly headed towards the women's dormitories on the other side.

Lin Ye tilted his head to glance, then walked toward the courtyard.

"Lin Ye, welcome to Shenzhen!"

Ke Yue extended his hand to Lin Ye, with a smile hiding any trace of earlier unpleasantness.

"Long time no see."

Not one to refuse a friendly gesture, Lin Ye shook hands with Ke Yue and said flatly.

"Since you're new here, want me to show you around?" Ke Yue offered again.

"No, I've come quite a distance and am a bit tired. I'd like to rest for a bit, so you needn't bother," Lin Ye casually fibbed.

Hearing this, Ke Yue could hardly maintain his composure.

Tired? How could you be tired?

The teleportation array brought you directly here; what does distance have to do with it?

Isn't it just a few seconds of standing around?

Such a lousy excuse, not even bothering to make it believable!

"Don't be in a rush to leave. Young Master Ke means no harm, he just wants to discuss cooperation with you." One person stepped forward from behind Ke Yue, blocking Lin Ye.

Lin Ye gave this guy a glance and couldn't help but feel a bit amazed.

The Ke Family really has some influence, evidently pulling some strings to arrange a few followers for Ke Yue on the battlefield.

But due to the rules of the Professional Alliance, these three people were all main combat professions, without even a hint of a support role.

No matter how influential you are, you still need to meet the basic registration conditions...

And support professions reaching this level are indeed rare.

In fact, Lin Ye is the only healer participating in the Champion Battlefield in all previous years.

So Lin Ye suddenly became the target everyone wanted to recruit...

Without healers, having the support of a powerful healer like Lin Ye almost guaranteed victory, unless one encountered those three SSS-class geniuses.

Especially since last time in the Skill Divine Hall, the news that Lin Ye had agreed to cooperate with Ke Yue had already spread.

Now Lin Ye's attitude seemed to be a breach of promise?

Isn't he just setting people up?

"Back off! What right do you have to speak for me?" Ke Yue reprimanded unhappily, making the person blocking Lin Ye step aside.

That guy didn't dare argue, obediently retreating.

"Although I don't know where I might have offended Brother Lin, I apologize here first, hoping you'll consider our cooperation... If nothing else, I'm confident that if we team up, even Zong Muxue and Kong Feiliu wouldn't dare to provoke us."

Ke Yue stepped forward and spoke earnestly.

But Lin Ye just smiled speechlessly...

What a blatant lie!

The words sounded quite reasonable at first glance.

However, he still committed an old mistake by repeatedly imposing a hostile stance on Lin Ye.

Lin Ye, a healer, was clearly someone everyone wanted to team up with, yet Ke Yue kept trying to set up imaginary enemies for him.

Anyone with some brains and ideas wouldn't be happy with that, right?

"No need, I'm enough on my own!" Lin Ye responded coolly.

Then he turned and walked into the courtyard.

"Hey, you..."

The guy who blocked Lin Ye earlier seemed eager to make an impression in front of Ke Yue and hurriedly stepped forward again.

Ke Yue stopped him with a snarl, "Idiot! If you cause any more trouble, I'll make sure your qualification to compete is revoked!"

"Don't! Young Master Ke, I know I was wrong!" The guy immediately responded.

Ke Yue glared fiercely at him, then looked at Lin Ye's retreating figure, shaking his head and sighing:

"Coming from the same small third or fourth-tier place, how can the difference be greater than that between a person and a dog?"

Upon hearing this, those three people beside Ke Yue couldn't help but feel their expressions turn ugly...

Evidently, compared to Lin Ye, even being called a dog would have been flattering.

But what could they do, given their backgrounds, without the Ke Family, they wouldn't qualify for the Champion Battlefield.

For the sake of their dreams, even if Ke Yue treated them like dogs, they had to endure it.

And Ke Yue didn't even realize he had just stirred up more resentment towards Lin Ye.

...

Meanwhile, in a place far from Shenzhen.

"Here's my blood, hope you keep your promise!"

In an abandoned city far from human habitation, Gao Lanlan stood on a dilapidated plaza.

"Don't worry, our deal is witnessed by the Rule Demon God, known for his impartiality."

A phantom appeared before Gao Lanlan.

Between them floated a ball of dark red liquid, continuously swirling.

This was Gao Lanlan's blood.

"That's right, I won't favor any side!"

The famous fun-lover Mr. Gongsun was the third party present, also the only witness.

"Oh! By the way, I forgot to mention, that kid snatched one of my supreme treasures, so if you want to kill him, it might not be as easy as you think!" Gongsun added.

Gao Lanlan looked over at Gongsun...

She had seen the world announcement yesterday, but she didn't take it seriously.

Now Gongsun mentioned it, clearly indicating the "grand prize" in that announcement wasn't simple.

The shadow was silent for a while, finally bursting out, "Damn it! Why say it now?"

Clearly speechless beyond measure.

Are you even a Demon God?

How are you causing chaos like this for humans!

"See, now isn't it more entertaining?" Gongsun clapped his hands and laughed, "If you could definitely kill Lin Ye, what fun would that be?"

These remarks silenced the shadow instantly.

"The success or failure of your plan is outside our transaction. Either way, I must get that senior's legacy!" Gao Lanlan coldly said.

"Hmph! I won't be lacking your things!" The shadow's tone was stiff.

Unexpectedly finding himself pursued by a human demanding things.

But what could he do, now he couldn't reverse the deal even if he wanted to!

The mischievous little devious boy next to him was probably hoping he would break the rules...
