Survival Arena

Returning home, Chu Ge found his family safe and sound, laughing and talking in the living room, which immediately put his mind at ease.

He went straight to the bedroom and locked the door from the inside.

Sitting on the bed, he began to deeply contemplate how to defuse the current crisis.

Suddenly, he thought of the Survivor organization Gao Fei had mentioned.

He picked up his phone and called Gao Fei.

"What! You're being hunted by the Tiger King! You encountered him in your last match?" Gao Fei exclaimed from the other end of the phone.

Chu Ge covered the phone, speaking in a low voice, "Keep it down. Didn't you previously mention an organization that specifically targets Survivors who harm the innocent? Can you put me in contact with them?"

"Brother, that's not going to work. The Tiger King is too crafty. He never hurts a Survivor's family members in reality, at least there's no evidence to prove it. He just intimidates and drives Survivors insane or kills his enemies in the Survival Competition..." Gao Fei replied with a grave tone.

He began to recount the deeds of the Tiger King.

It turned out the Tiger King was somewhat famous within Survivor circles.

He had been a Three Stars Survivor for a while, and possibly even stronger, but he always stuck around in the Two Stars Arena, wreaking havoc and causing the death of many Survivors.

His ruthlessness caused Survivors below Three Stars to tremble at the mention of his name. If they encountered him in the Survival Competition, most wouldn't dare to fight back.

There had been Survivors like Chu Ge who thought of going to the Survival Association for help, but the organization was strict with discipline and evidence; without proof of wrongdoing by the Tiger King, it was difficult for them to take action.

The Survival Association was the unified body maintaining the balance between Survivors and the real world. To avoid retaliation from Survivors, they had to strictly adhere to their own principles and rules.

"I've only recently learned about the Survival Association, and it was Boss Jin who took me there. I found out about many Survivor cases there, and the Tiger King is one of the individuals the Association pays extra attention to. You don't need to worry about this. I'll talk to Boss Jin.

Although the Tiger King is strong, our Boss Jin is not weak either," Gao Fei reassured him, and then hurriedly hung up.

Chu Ge was restless, clenching his knees with both hands and trying hard to control his anger.

The mere thought of the Tiger King filled his eyes with bloodshot veins.

Because of this incident, he had no mood to enter the Survival House, in case a Survivor attacked his family.

Almost an hour passed.

Gao Fei's call came through and Chu Ge answered immediately.

"Boss Jin said you don't have to worry about your family. The Tiger King may be crazy, but he's never actually attacked an enemy's family members. Also, Boss Jin will warn him, but that guy is brazen in his actions. You'd better find a way to become stronger, as he's going to keep pursuing you in the Survival Competition."

"Of course, there's also another way, and that's to apologize and beg for mercy from the Tiger King. This is what I think you should do," Gao Fei said seriously. He treated Chu Ge like a brother and didn't want Chu Ge to be entangled with the Tiger King.

Chu Ge's eyes turned cold. Beg for mercy?

"Thanks, as long as my family is not in danger, it doesn't matter how he targets me," Chu Ge replied.

He had never wanted to kill someone so badly before.

Not even Black Blind had made him this angry.

The two chatted briefly and then Chu Ge ended the call.

"If you want to play, then let's play. Let's see how many Assassination Scrolls you can afford," Chu Ge muttered, his tone filled with murderous intent.

He immediately entered the Survival House to prepare for training.

Since Boss Jin had also stated that the Tiger King wouldn't harm his family, it was time for him to focus on getting stronger.

Arriving at the Team Cultivation Hall, Chu Ge saw Arno, Ye Wukong, and Nangong still training.

He didn't speak, instead, he started sprinting along the track on his own accord.

Physical Strength was still of utmost importance to him.

The greater his Physical Strength, the longer he could maintain Geothermal energy.

As for strength, he didn't need to train it for the time being.

...

Time flew by.

Some time passed, and Tong Lianshi and Chu Yingying were living in the same room. Lianshi would occasionally go out, saying she had some relatives in Nanluo City whom she could visit, but she felt uncomfortable staying too long in someone else's home.

Han Yujuan liked her very much and warmly invited her to stay.

After Chu Ge started earning an income, their family's financial situation improved significantly. Having one more person at the dining table was no issue, especially since Tong Lianshi would always bring back some New Year goods whenever she went out.

Chu Ge didn't interact much with Tong Lianshi, and every time they chatted, the girl's sweet smile made him swoon. To keep himself from falling for her, he intentionally kept his distance.

Every time his heart stirred, he would think of Gu Tianjiao.

He understood his own feelings, but he was now a Survivor and didn't want to drown in affection.

That day.

Chu Ge went to the Golden Ape Building to collect his wages.

The one who received him was still Secretary Xu.

"I heard you've caught the attention of King Kuihu? That guy is a wimp who never Levels Up, but his strength is indeed unbeatable for Two Stars and even Three Stars. You'd better avoid him if you can. After two or three times, he'll give up targeting you. After all, Boss Jin has warned him; he won't threaten your family," Secretary Xu said to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge nodded slightly and said, "Please thank Boss Jin for me."

Secretary Xu smiled and said, "I believe you will sooner or later be stronger than King Kuihu."

Inside, Chu Ge begged to differ.

Gao Fei and Secretary Xu both advised him to avoid King Kuihu, but he didn't want to.

King Kuihu had thoroughly enraged him.

He wouldn't be content until he killed King Kuihu.

Upon arriving at the office, Chu Ge received twenty thousand yuan and then left alone.

Inside the Golden Ape Building, there were many office workers. At first glance, it even appeared to be a real large-scale corporation, upscale and prestigious.

One hour later.

Chu Ge returned home.

Han Yujuan and Chu Feiqiang had gone to visit relatives; Chu Yingying was meeting up with old classmates; Tong Lianshi was home alone.

Chu Ge greeted her and was about to head back to his room.

"Chu Ge, why do you always sneak glances at me?"

Tong Lianshi's voice suddenly called out, stopping Chu Ge.

Chu Ge felt embarrassed and turned around with a smile, saying, "No way, you must have seen wrong."

After saying that, he took a step forward.

"Chu Ge, do you have someone you like?" Tong Lianshi stood up, asking with a cheerful smile.

Chu Ge nodded and replied, "Yes, so don't set your sights on me."

This time, without waiting for Tong Lianshi to ask further, he quickly rushed into his bedroom.

Tong Lianshi huffed and sat back down on the sofa.

After locking the door behind him, Chu Ge directly entered the Team Cultivation Hall.

Except for Gu Tianjiao, all members were present.

He gathered everyone together.

"Looks like our vice team leader has been rather busy lately," Chu Ge said with a meaningful tone.

Nangong chuckled suggestively, "Boss, you've got to move quickly with her. The New Year is peak season for matchmaking."

Chu Ge gave him a look, but felt a bit anxious inside.

Could that woman be really matchmaking?

"Are you talking behind my back again?"

Gu Tianjiao's voice suddenly rang out as she briskly walked over.

Now everyone was present. Stay updated through empire

Chu Ge glanced at Gu Tianjiao, and once she caught up, he began, "There's one more week until the next Survival Competition. I have news to tell you all, King Kuihu has his sights set on me and used an Assassination Scroll, so in the next competition, we will encounter the Roaring Tiger Group again."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Nangong clicked his tongue and said, "2500 Survival Points, huh? That score farmer really knows how to splurge."

Arno proudly declared, "With me here, he's as good as dead."
