   Reader note

   Speaking of male protagonists without romantic relationships, I'm wide awake! 1. If you've never seen a genius, check out Jiang Wuyuan. Invincible among his peers, just kidding, he's also awesome even against higher levels. No female lead, no romantic relationship, no ambiguity. Yes, that's how our Ice Cube is. Yes, that's how the strongest genius of the younger generation saves the world. 2. Do you know the strength of a sword immortal? If not, look at Lu Sheng. He's always on! This guy just fights his way through, no romantic relationship, no female lead. In one year, he's invincible among humans, and in four years, he's the world's number one. Just kidding! Our sword immortal is truly handsome and strong. 3. Never mind, let's just focus on improving. Never mind, let's deal with the gods first. Let's just focus on cultivating (actually, if we don't work hard, we'll just die). There's no time for ambiguity, he's always cultivating and defending against the gods. 4. Our little Gu, under the guise of a pristine being, began his journey across the Dragon Continent. Don't be fooled by his initial lack of talent; he was favored by Heaven. A pristine being, a witness, our little Gu slowly began his extraordinary life, unprecedented and unparalleled. 5. The protagonist, Shu Changge, our little Changge, was born with a flawless immortal body, making him unapproachable. He was the most talented person in the Floating Heaven Immortal Sect, possessing maxed-out talent, looks, strength, and background. Those of Changge's generation were fortunate, as Heaven didn't even bother with pretense, directly favoring him. 6. Shan Liang is the kindest person in Xincheng. Who agrees? Who disagrees? This man is truly kind; he will never suffer losses or be wronged. Pressure from the Elders? Sorry, later on, after he became kind, the Elders all turned against him. For this man, strength and killing are his true passions. 7. Su Ming is the strongest beast tamer. Forget everything else for now; he's gone too far down the path of beast taming. A person whose mind is only on beast taming won't fall in love. 8. A person lost in the white mist, a person solely focused on returning home—Lu Ning is definitely not into romantic relationships. Everything he thinks is true, everything he believes is right. He's practically a god. When you discover his ability is a conceptual level ability, you'll also think he's a god. 9. Sometimes, putting yourself in Su Xiaohong's shoes as someone at the same level feels so hopeless. Who can be invincible at their level and even hold off people at the next level? That's true luck. Truly crushing everyone at the same level—that's truly defying the heavens. 10. Our Yan Yan is a genius who lacks nothing: top-tier talent, a great background, and being the most beloved. 11. Our Little French Fries is the coolest! 12. Zuo Cheng'an is like a guy who brings trouble wherever he goes. A bug that successfully makes everyone uneasy has appeared. Dating? Don't be ridiculous, Zuo-ge is laughing. If he doesn't elbow the dungeon itself, he's doomed. 13. He's a super cowardly Shura. This book has the strongest group portrait, doesn't it? Putting aside the Shura, our human race's supreme beings are the strongest and most charismatic group of people! The Shura can only be with Eternal Gold Coins in this life, hmm, 99. 14. Our Aze is like a crazy elbowing machine in the strange world. With the bug of dual talents, who doesn't think that you, Su Shen, are cheating? In the end, you become the Lord of the Strange World.
