Survival Arena

Team Cultivation Hall.

Gu Tianjiao was jogging, her brow furrowed as she ran.

Xiao Poor Thing suddenly caught up and asked with concern, "Proud Sister, are you alright?"

Gu Tianjiao shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

"Don't overthink it. If the team leader was in trouble, there definitely would be a prompt. It's probably like the previous city survival competition that took too long,"

Xiao Poor Thing comforted her—it had been almost ten days since Chu Ge had yet to return, and everyone was worried, casting a depressive atmosphere over the Team Cultivation Hall.

Gu Tianjiao sighed, "I hope so. If he doesn't appear soon, I doubt I'll be able to sleep well."

She had full confidence in Chu Ge, but not so much in the Survival Arena.

Who knows what kind of rules the Survival Arena might set for Chu Ge.

It might even send him to a higher Star Level Survival Arena.

"I guess it will be soon, in the next couple of days. The team leader should be back," guessed Xiao Poor Thing.

Just then!

A cold female voice suddenly announced:

"Congratulations to [Suicide] team leader Chuge Siqi on becoming an Adjudicator!"

Gu Tianjiao and Xiao Poor Thing immediately came to a halt, and the other members who were training in the hall were also stunned.

The next second, they were ecstatic.

Chu Ge had succeeded!

A beam of light descended from the sky.

As the light dispersed, Chu Ge's figure was revealed.

Everyone rushed over excitedly. Chu Ge smiled at them, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Boss!"

"Team Leader!"

The members were shocked and hurried to his side.

Xiao Poor Thing asked urgently, "What's wrong? Even if you get injured in the Survival Competition, you should recover after returning!"

The others were caught off guard, not understanding what had happened.

Local Snake exclaimed, "He's sleeping!"

Upon these words, the hall fell silent.

Sleeping?

The members looked at each other with bemused expressions.

Looking closely, they saw that Chu Ge was indeed asleep.

"It seems he's been pushing through these ten days."

Gu Tianjiao couldn't help but laugh, "Regardless, it's good that Chu Ge is back alive!"

The members breathed a sigh of relief and began speculating about Chu Ge's experiences.

Gu Tianjiao hurried them away, telling them to discuss on the other side of the Team Cultivation Hall.

She looked at Chu Ge, who had fallen into a deep sleep, with both amusement and a touch of heartache.

What kind of Survival Competition had made Chu Ge afraid to sleep?

He is a Vengeful Ghost, after all—it shouldn't be hard for him to find time to rest while invisible, right?

This meant that Chu Ge had encountered an enemy stronger than she had imagined.

"It's good that you're back," Gu Tianjiao said in a voice that only she could hear.

...

Chu Ge slept very well.
Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

When he woke up, he couldn't even remember if he had dreamed.

He opened his eyes to see a lazy lynx in front of him, grooming its paws while looking down at him.

"Feeling better?"

Gu Tianjiao asked, her words filled with concern.

Chu Ge nodded, slowly got up, and asked, "What time is it now? How long have I been asleep?"

"It's midnight, and you've slept for seventeen hours," Gu Tianjiao answered, making Chu Ge smile wryly.

It was his first time sleeping for so long!

He surprisingly didn't feel dizzy.

Gu Tianjiao said with a smile, "Go back and get your thoughts in order first, then decide what to say tomorrow."

Only she and Chu Ge remained in the Team Cultivation Hall.

Her words were laden with deeper meaning.

Chu Ge understood her—it was alright to share with the team members that he had become an Adjudicator, but there was no need to reveal everything.

In case someone betrayed them...

Chu Ge nodded, but he still wasn't clear about what was so special about the Adjudicator.

After that, each of them returned to their own Survival House.

Chu Ge transformed into human shape, he sat on the sofa and asked, "What exactly is an Adjudicator?"

As his voice faded, a light screen appeared in front of him:

Adjudicator!

1. Ranked above Survivors, higher authority than Survivors to browse the Survival Skills list.

2. If an Adjudicator hunts Heretics, the Survival Points earned in the Survival Competition can be doubled. If in reality, a random draw for Survival Skills lottery can be conducted.

3. In addition to the monthly Survival Competition, Adjudicators also face Adjudication contests, timing is flexible and at their own discretion, with a mandatory minimum of three and a maximum of six times a year.

4. In real life, the Survival Arena may issue tasks to the Adjudicators at any time to eradicate Heretics, which must be carried out.

...

Chu Ge stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.

At first glance, it seemed pretty good.

But the fourth item had a catch.

It turns out the Adjudicator was a puppet of the Survival Arena.

To eradicate Heretics meant to remove those who threatened the Survival Arena.

Did the Black Cat that made him a Survivor count as a Heretic?

He asked, "What exactly qualifies as a Heretic?"

"Those who maliciously leak information about the Survival Arena, disrupt the balance of the Survival Competition, as well as certain individuals who organize actions that threaten the Survival Arena. As for detailed criteria, Adjudicators only need to wait for arrangements from the Survival Arena," a cold female voice explained.

Hearing this cold explanation, Chu Ge sank into thought again.

No matter what, he had become an Adjudicator and could no longer choose.

He once again called up his Attribute Panel:

Adjudicator: Chuge Siqi

Star Rank: Three Stars (level up available)

Biting Force: 6287

Forelimb Strength: 9004

Hind Limb Strength: 9012

Defensive Power: 7613

Speed: 453

Physical Strength: 1514

Survival Entity: African Male Lion

Survival Skills: Body Color Change, Cheetah Speed, Muscle Strengthening, Strength Enhancement, Male Elephant's Strength, Muscle Ironing, Cockroach Reaction Nerves, Short-snouted Crocodile Biting Force

Survival Talent: Raging Flame Separation, Soul-Confusing Roar

Survival Equipment: None

Survival Team: Suicide

Survival Points: 2282

...

All attributes remained unchanged, only the word "Survivor" had been replaced with "Adjudicator."

This time, during Vengeful Ghost's Revenge, he hardly fought; most of the time was spent hiding or staying still, and not sleeping made him feel somewhat empty.

Next, Chu Ge did not return to reality, but rather stayed in the Survival House.

The next morning.

The entire Suicide team gathered in the Team Cultivation Hall.

Chu Ge shared his experiences with them.

Even though he told everything about the Floating Island, it still shocked everyone.

Sky Blue Whale, Thorny Back Dragon, Sky-piercing Giant Serpent, Mammoth Herd, Saber-toothed Tiger, and more.

Gu Tianjiao was so astonished that she was speechless.

Xiao Hero exclaimed, "The Floating Island, the Survival Arena truly goes beyond our imagination. And Seven Stars Survivors, we are indeed very insignificant."

Arno's eyes were ablaze; obviously, he also wanted to take on the challenges of the Floating Island.

"Boss, so for these ten days, you've been hiding the whole time? Not daring to sleep?"

Nangong blinked, asking curiously.

Chu Ge gave a fake cough.

The others could not help but suppress their laughter.

Chu Ge changed the subject, saying, "Regarding the Adjudicator, besides the information we know, my list of Survival Skills will be a bit more extensive than yours. Additionally, the Survival Arena might assign me the task of hunting Heretics."

Even by revealing this information, it wouldn't affect him.

He had a feeling that being an Adjudicator was not so simple.
