The Scum Is A

Lei Ling sighed in relief that Lei Qing was acting normal. She and You Rou should have won but were clumsy during their match and lost. However, because of her clumsiness, Jie Mei won. Nobody had approached her to be a part of their team since they value their lives more than their lust. Jie Mei is weak and will just drag them down. Thus, they were surprised Cheng Sheng took her in their team.

"Wow… Cheng Sheng is not only strong, but also a man, huh? He wanted to burden himself with the beauty?" the audience said.

"Everyone knows she's weak, thus avoided her. Meanwhile, Cheng Sheng's team is missing one member. By taking her in, they can fill their number and also have the beauty." Someone analyzed.

"Two birds with one stone!" somebody said.

"Yeah. Also, Cheng Sheng's team are all filled with handsome men. She's also a beautiful woman. She's the rose among the thorns!" someone from the audience said.

"Cheng Sheng's team won just by looks alone." Someone laughed.

"No, no. Jing Cheng's team are also full of handsome men!" someone said.

"As well as the Huakai Team!" another one added.

"That Wu Xi is covering his face. It must be he's ugly!" somebody said as they looked at Wu Xi.

"On the contrary, it could be he's very handsome that the world will weep so he covered his face!" someone retorted.

"Cheng Sheng's team is more handsome!" someone yelled.

"No! It's Jing Cheng's team!" someone said.

"No! The Huakai Team isn't losing with their looks!" somebody said.

"…" The Huakai team.

"…" Kang Ce's team and the other team.

"No, no! Look at Cheng Sheng's team!" someone said as they pointed Cheng Sheng's team. "Cheng Sheng is the elegant type. Fei Yin is the abstinent type. Chen Han is the sunny type. Sun Yi is the playful type. Li Tian is the gentle type. Feng Mo is the spirited type. Yu Sheng is the wild type. Wu Xi is the mysterious type. And, Xiao Le is the boyish type!" they explained.

"…" How about me? Jie Mei thought.

"…" Zheng Fu Gong, the Alliance elders and the sect leaders. This isn't a battle of looks. They thought. But, indeed, Cheng Sheng's group is very high-profiled and very attractive.

Xie Lan chuckled as he crossed his arms and raised his chin. "Of course. I'm the sect leader, and Wen's husband. I only attract attractive people!" he said, his face smug. "Even junior Wu is handsome, the silent type. The Xinfaxian Sect and the Youxiwang Sect are all good-looking people! Hahahaha!" he laughed.

"…" they all speechlessly looked at Xie Lan. No wonder his disciple is so arrogant. His disciple had taken it from him! They thought as they looked at Cheng Sheng.

"No! The Zunjingde Sect and the Shanliangde Sect are also all handsome people!" someone retorted. "Sect leader Jing is the kuudere type. Elder Fei is the kind type and elder Xi (Ling) is the tsundere type!" they said.

"…" Jing Cheng, Xi Ming and the others were speechless. Why are you naming our sect leader and elders and not us the ones in question? They thought.

"…" Was I just dissed for being not mentioned? Fei Huang thought.

"No! The Huakai Sect isn't losing!" someone said. "Tang Zhe is the elder brother type. Shan Lu is the airheaded type. Guo Cheng is the supportive type!" they said.

"…" Tang Yun and the rest of the Huakai Sect disciples. Where does that leave us? They thought.

"…" Kang Ce and his team, and the other team. No one minds us? They thought.

Lei Ling, Lei Qing, You Rou and Zu Zhe looked at the women behind them that were fighting.

"It's Cheng Sheng's group who are the most handsome!" one of them said.

"No! The Zunjingde Sect and the Huakai Sect!" someone said.

"No! It's the Huakai Sect!" someone yelled.

"…" women all go for the attractive men regardless of their attitude. They thought. Looks won't determine their win. They added.

Zheng Fu Gong cleared his throat before he spoke. "Contestants, please prepare yourselves." He told them as he raised his hand and the space behind him and the Alliance elders opened.

"WOAH!" the audience exclaimed in awe when they saw a place different from where they are now inside the space.

Zuo Zhe's eyes narrowed and his gaze met Yu Sheng's gaze who was staring at him. The space… this secret realm… is a subspace of this world. Zuo Zhe thought. Could this be one of the reasons why there was a space and time turbulence? He thought as his brows knit. His guess was confirmed when he heard what Zheng Fu Gong said.

"Please, carefully enter or your body will be split apart." Zheng Fu Gong told the contestants. "Be vigilant, since there will be walking corpses inside…" he said before he paused. "And some other things. Might be." He said and looked at them. "After all, this is a secret realm. It is unstable, so we don't know what will appear inside next." He explained. "Then, if you're ready, please go inside." He told them.

Some contestants paled. Kang Ce walked forward and entered first. His teammates following behind looked like they're hesitating. Finally, someone screamed and ran very fast back towards his fellow disciples who were in the audience.

"Shixiong!" his fellow disciples cried in alarm as they caught him after he tripped in nervousness.

"I won't enter." A rogue cultivator in Kang Ce's team said. "I've already reached this far, but my life is more important." He explained.

Zheng Fu Gong nodded. "Very well. This isn't compulsory." He said and let the rogue cultivator pass.

The others who were following behind him looked disheartened. They looked at each other before they braved themselves and entered the space.

"We'll be going first." Tang Zhe said as he led his fellow disciples inside the space.

"Let's go." Jing Cheng said as he led the Zunjingde Sect.

Xi Ming turned to Xi Xing and Gong Xian. "Do you want to go in?" he asked. Xi Xing immediately looked at Gong Xian, making Xi Ming depressed.

Gong Xian thought about it. "Will shifu know I backed out?" he asked Xi Ming.

"Yes." Xi Ming nodded. "But if you don't want – " he said.

"I'll go." Gong Xian answered and decisively went inside.

"I'll go!" Xi Xing answered and followed behind Gong Xian.

"…" will we be alright? Xi Ming thought and sighed before he followed them.

Cheng Sheng watched everyone went inside. "They won't ambush us, will they?" he asked and looked at his teammates.

"Young master Jing isn't that kind of person, as well as young master Xi." Sun Yi smiled.

Cheng Sheng nodded. "Good." He said. "They actually made the right decision. If they'd let us in first, I'll definitely ambush them!" he said and raised his fist. His expression righteous but his thoughts aren't.

"…" his teammates speechlessly looked at him. "Shall we go inside?" they asked.

"Yeah!" Cheng Sheng answered as he leapt on the stage, then his body turned and went inside the space.

"…" his teammates don't know how to evaluate him. You don't need to be so enthusiastic. They thought and sighed.

"They'll be alright, right?" Lei Ling asked Lei Qing and You Rou.

"How will we know how are they doing inside?" You Rou asked.

Zuo Zhe looked at his system that shows a live footage of what's happening inside the secret realm. Is the system a former CCTV? He thought.

Su Yuan answered Lei Ling's question. "The Alliance's disciples escorting them have a piece of Cleansing Stone with them." he said. "We will see the contestants' situation through this – " he said as he opened the big box beside them.

Everyone immediately covered their eyes when a bright light came out of the box. "The Cleansing Stone!" Jing Xian said as he, Su Yuan, Pai Lie and Qi Ling placed their hand over the pure white jade. Another bright light came out of the jade and floated in the air, then the contestants' face showed up.

"It's shixiong!" one of the disciples exclaimed.

"Ah! Shidi!" they cried in excitement as they watched their fellow disciples ran through the wilderness inside of the secret realm.

"It's da shixiong!" Lei Ling exclaimed when they saw the handsome face of Fei Yin after he cleared the branches blocking Cheng Sheng's way. "…" even here, they still spread dog food. He thought.

"Yu Sheng." Zuo Zhe muttered when he saw Yu Sheng was smiling as he followed behind the Xinfaxian Sect disciples and Chen Han and Sun Yi. Xiao Le was keeping up with them, and Wu Xi, Jie Mei and the Alliance's disciple was running behind them.

"Xiao Le can keep up with their speed." Lei Qing said.

"Yeah. As well as the Alliance's disciple." You Rou nodded.

"On the other hand, Jie Mei…" Lei Ling grimaced.

Inside the secret realm, Jie Mei was panting. "Everyone! Please… please slow down! I can't catch up!" she said.

They didn't answer her, but still slowed down their pace. "If you can't keep up, we will ditch you." Cheng Sheng told her.

"Huh?" Jie Mei said in shock.

The audience outside of the secret realm were shocked, too, when they heard what Cheng Sheng said. "WHA – he's really ruthless!" they exclaimed.

"He took the girl, only to leave her after?!" they said, their eyes wide in disbelief.

"Such a scum!" they added.

"…" Lei Ling, Lei Qing, You Rou and Zuo Zhe can't speak to retort them. Since that's what Cheng Sheng is - a scum.
