The next day, when the sun rose, the arena for the top 36 in the city had already been set up, but most people were still discussing the sudden collapse of the city lord's office.
Cheng Qiaoqing was no exception. He told Zhou Yang the news early in the morning, but like everyone else, they all linked this matter to the collapse of the Meteorite Tower, thinking that it was caused by the demonic energy outside.
Because of this, the entire county city seemed particularly anxious. At noon, Xu Zhentian announced that it was caused by a mistake in his martial arts practice. Only then did everyone calm down.
Then people began to pay attention to the top 36.
In the meeting room of the general's office, Cheng Qiaoqing took the latest ranking list and sat beside Zhou Yang with Cheng Feng.
"Three million and one hundred thousand. You've already surpassed Luohan and are now equal to Duanmu Heng, ranked tenth. But I think you're definitely stronger than Duanmu Heng," Cheng Qiaoqing said with a smile.
"Of course. I dare say that you're now ranked in the top five," Cheng Feng said confidently.
"You're talking big. Who said he could be in the top five? There's still me."
At this moment, Yue Siqin strode in with an arrogant expression.
"Miss Yue …"
Since Yue Siqin had helped Zhou Yang block the sword yesterday, Cheng Qiaoqing's opinion of Yue Siqin had changed a lot. Her tone had also softened.
Yue Siqin smiled and looked at Zhou Yang provocatively. Her tall and proud expression made it seem as if she was showing off something to Zhou Yang.
"You've broken through?" Zhou Yang smiled.
"You have a good eye."
After hearing Zhou Yang's words, Yue Siqin sat down in satisfaction. "Now I'm already at the ninth level of the Martian State. In terms of combat power, I'm not inferior to you."
"How about we compete and show me your fifth string?" Zhou Yang said expectantly.
"You …"
Yue Siqin's eyes flickered. "I'm not competing with you. You don't have any protective feelings for women. What if you scratch my beautiful face?"
The three of them couldn't help but laugh.
"By the way, Zhou Yang, did you notice a problem?" Yue Siqin suddenly asked, holding the Rising Star List.
"What problem?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Zhou Shaoyu, look at how fast his net worth is rising. I remember when I first arrived at the county city, he was only 2.9 million, but now he's already 3.5 million. How did he rise so fast?" Yue Siqin was shocked.
Cheng Qiaoqing also revealed a puzzled expression. "Young Master, I also wanted to talk about this matter. Zhou Shaoyu hasn't used any martial arts during this period of time, but his value has risen very quickly. This is somewhat inconceivable."
Zhou Yang nodded. Naturally, he had also discovered this point. However, the Star Brilliance Mansion would never practice favoritism in assessing the value. Zhou Shaoyu must have used force in a private setting, and he had even specially sought out spies from the Star Brilliance Mansion.
"His net worth can't be wrong, but I want to know, how did Zhou Shaoyu improve so quickly?" Yue Siqin frowned.
"Before the Genius Tournament, Zhou Shaoyu's cultivation level was at the eighth level of the Martian Realm. There was definitely room for improvement. However, only he knows how he improved so quickly." Cheng Qiaoqing shook her head, feeling a little worried.
"Who cares? No matter how fast he improves, can he improve as fast as Young Master?" Cheng Feng said with some disdain.
"We can't be careless. I feel that there's something strange about the county city now. Demons, Golden Qilin, and many strangers have appeared recently. They don't look like weaklings." Yue Siqin shook her head and fell into deep thought.
Zhou Yang was not too surprised. There were indeed many strong people in the county city, especially that old lady. Because of her appearance, the dragon spirit had not dared to speak until now.
As for why Zhou Shaoyu had become stronger, he did not care too much. Zhou Shaoyu must have integrated with the Golden Qilin. In addition, with the return of the young man with the fan, Zhou Xianxian, and the rest, he must have received a lot of benefits. It was not surprising that his value had increased.

"Alright, I'm going to draw lots to prepare for the tournament. I won't talk nonsense with you." Yue Siqin stood up after saying that.
"Fortunately, Young Master is already in the top ten. There's no need to waste time on the 36 battles …" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
Yue Siqin glared at Zhou Yang and said, "Hmph, trying to be brave. I heard that the Luo family has already moved out and will soon arrive at the county city. You are happy for your Young Master. If it were me, I would have run away long ago."
"Haha … what are you afraid of? Young Master has many enemies. They can drown me with their spit. What's the big deal about the Jin family? I can still drink and eat." Cheng Feng looked like he did not care. On the other hand, although Cheng Qiaoqing looked worried, she did not seem to be in an urgent situation.
"You've all been influenced by him. You've all become crazy." Yue Siqin curled her lips. She really could not figure out how Zhou Yang did it. Not only did he not care about the enemies in the city, but he also seemed to not care about the people around him.
After Yue Siqin left, Zhou Yang went to Guo Zhanxiong's house.
The last time Guo Zhanxiong came to the General's house, he had told him to come before the 36 battles.
Guo Dazhuang had disappeared for a long time. This was one of the few things that bothered him.
"Little Yang, you came at the right time. I was about to go find you." Guo Zhanxiong was overjoyed when he saw Zhou Yang.
"What happened? Uncle Guo is so happy?" Zhou Yang smiled.
"Dazhuang is back," Guo Zhanxiong said in a low voice. He pulled Zhou Yang's arm and walked to the secret room in the backyard.
After opening the secret room, Zhou Yang let out a sigh of relief. The chubby figure in front of him was none other than Guo Dazhuang.
"Brother Yang."
Guo Dazhuang turned his head and was overjoyed.
"How is it? Did you grow wings?" Zhou Yang teased.
"Haha …"
Guo Dazhuang laughed after hearing this. After a while, he said, "Brother Yang, it seems that you've seen that Yi Wang."
Zhou Yang nodded. "Let's not talk about Yi Wang. Let's talk about you."
"I'm still the same as before," Guo Dazhuang said. "After eating, I sleep, and after eating, but sometimes I miss you guys. That devil still has a conscience. After I finished my cultivation, he agreed to let me come back for a day."
"A day … Did you really become his disciple?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"I didn't want to, but I had no choice. However, that old demon really knows a lot. In just a month, my cultivation has already reached the Martian Level Seven."
"That's fast."
Zhou Yang was a little surprised. Guo Dazhuang had just broken through to the Martian Level before he came back.
Guo Dazhuang seemed to recall something and said anxiously, "Oh yes, Brother Yang. Don't go under the Meteorite Tower."
"Why?" Zhou Yang was puzzled.
"I heard from that old demon that it's very dangerous down there. Even Wood Planet Realms and Gold Planet Realms will die if they go down there unless they can get the Qilin totem," Guo Dazhuang said.
"Qilin totem? Is this it?" Zhou Yang took out the jade pendant that he had conveniently taken from under the Meteorite Tower and handed it to Guo Dazhuang.
Guo Dazhuang looked at it and nodded. "It seems so. But Brother Yang, why do you have this thing? Didn't Xu Zhentian and the rest snatch it away?"
"I took it by accident. I just don't know what it's for."
