Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1240 - 1220:

"Guests?" Qhianqhian was taken aback.

In an instant, countless thoughts swirled in her mind, and she realized the issue at hand.

From the beginning, her title always had a prefix: Challenger from Heaven’s Gate.

So, does that mean this place can actually accommodate people from elsewhere? Only those who enter like that must endure a long wait?

After a moment of silence, Qhianqhian nodded.

In the day that followed, she relied on the challenger information provided by the Bunny Girl to challenge and win against several opponents above her level, forcing her way into the top ten, albeit just the tenth place. Despite the rank, she bore numerous scars—sword cuts, knife wounds, arrow grazes, and even impact injuries all over her body.

"Shall we walk the Challenger’s Path together?" Upon learning that the Challenger’s Path would open the next day, Qhianqhian returned to her temporary residence, only to be interrupted shortly after by a knock at the door.

Qhianqhian frowned slightly, her face full of confusion.

"The Challenger’s Path can be tackled solo or as a team." A young man outside the door wore a harmless smile. He reached out to Qhianqhian with an invitation: "We are both Water Series, let’s join forces and walk this path together!"

Qhianqhian remained silent for a moment, "I need to bathe and rest. If there’s anything, let’s discuss it tomorrow. Goodbye." She closed the door mercilessly, shutting out the face outside that was full of smiles and cheer.

Outside, the young man, nearly getting his nose hit, seemed indifferent, "Then I’ll wait for you."

Qhianqhian frowned and opened the Bunny Girl’s document. It was updated before her challenge, so it wasn’t the latest, but aside from the one who just fell out of the top ten, the others had not changed.

Quickly, Qhianqhian found the information on the Water Series spirit cultivator in the second position.

Someone who had never faced the first rank, yet remained steadily in second place, never being defeated, his power was evident.

And just as he said, there were no other Water Series individuals among them, but what’s the use of having the same attributes?

This left Qhianqhian baffled.

When the ten appeared in the Challenge Arena, a solemn silence filled the arena, and excitement blazed in the eyes of the spectators watching the ten individuals—eight men and two women—the strongest competitors in the Domain Land as of yesterday.

Among them was one who had barely made it in yesterday. Even if she was a girl, no one dared to underestimate her.

How could such a delicate-looking girl stand amongst these ten?

The other nine who entered with Qhianqhian were also sizing her up. The Challenger’s Path only opens when a ’guest’ reaches the top ten, otherwise, it opens only once every nine months. With just two months left to go, Qhianqhian’s sudden appearance left them unsure whether to feel fortunate or sorry.

Qhianqhian looked ahead calmly, took a deep breath, ignoring the numerous stares.

Another female among the ten, and the man beside Qhianqhian scrutinized her the most, displaying outward strength but inner timidity.

As the lights shone on the ten, their pupils simultaneously tinged with a cold murderous intent, a blood-red hue filling their eyes.

However, in an instant, Qhianqhian withdrew her killing intent, a habit honed over the past two days—when the lights shone, it marked the start of the battle.

Now, Qhianqhian believed she could easily defeat the self she was when she first arrived here.

She suddenly understood that experience is gained in life-and-death battles.

Compared to when she first arrived, her demeanor now carried a trace of cold indifference, and a lingering vigilance could not be shaken off.

Apart from normal battles, ambushes here are also allowed, so it had become her habit to adjust herself to a certain state before stepping into the Challenge Arena.

Seeing the cheering crowd around her, she felt a bit lost; could a place like this have people just there for the spectacle? Isn’t life important?

"Are you ready?" The young man had unknowingly moved to her side, quietly asking.

"Yann Yao, are you really choosing a little girl as your partner?" Upon seeing the young man’s actions, a man immediately complained, frowning slightly, "Teaming up with me would have a higher success rate!"

He had thought that, apart from the eccentric first rank, partnering with Yann Yao, who ranked second, would greatly increase his odds of winning. Little did he expect Yann Yao to go after the little girl?

Yann Yao, however, did not respond, just continued to look at Qhianqhian.

Qhianqhian paused for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Okay."

Yann Yao’s face lightened with a relieved smile, "I knew my charm was irresistible. Here, contact me later." He handed a Jade Token to Qhianqhian before returning to his position, ignoring the man altogether.

The man glanced at Yann Yao, then at Qhianqhian, glaring at her for a moment, "Don’t fall into my hands!"

"The Challenger’s Path is a road of hope, but also a road of death. Challengers, are you ready?" A familiar voice echoed. Surprised, Qhianqhian looked up to see the Bunny Girl standing on a suspended platform, speaking calmly to the ten people.

This Bunny Girl—what kind of identity does she possess? Why can’t Qhianqhian see through her?

The man who always kept his eyes shut in first place suddenly opened his eyes, not to look at those around him, but at the Bunny Girl on the high platform.

His gaze carried a hint of admiration, which quickly vanished.

He realized that only when facing the Bunny Girl did his heart uncontrollably race, and the books called that being in love.

To catch her attention, he continually struggled at the edge of death, finally standing at the peak of the challenge list, but the Bunny Girl showed no sign, not even knowing who he was.

Countless female challengers throw themselves at him, only to be met with his killing aura.

The only woman he wished to treat gently did not care about him at all.

This realization left him quite dejected.

But when you like someone, you want to do whatever you can for her, give her your best, even if she pays no heed.

With a soft sigh, his gaze turned resolute.

Then the only thing left was to obtain the best Domain, to make her notice him!

Qhianqhian looked into those enchanting eyes, filled with doubt—was this the Bunny Girl? Should it not be a Fox Girl? Isn’t it said that foxes are naturally bewitching?

"It seems you are all ready, so let it begin! The Gate of Challenge!" Thin, blood-red petals fell from the sky, resembling both a farewell wish for triumph and a prelude to death.

Before the three, a dark, mysterious gate gradually rose, exuding a chilling aura.

"The road ahead is long, take care." A calm voice from the sky resounded, "May you achieve your desires."
