The World Referee Council.
This place was a small, narrow room—– because normally no one would be here to work anyways.
But for the most part, this was a crucial department of the 900 million World Layers alliance, a place that only Lord-class Combatants can join.
Because of that, after careful consideration, the upper brass decided to extend the inside of the room a little bit, leaving enough space to put down a long, wide table.
——with this table, at least the people of the department could sit around to play cards and socialize a bit in their workplace.
Chen Wang threw his cards on the table, stood up, and stretched his back.
“I didn’t win or lose anything, what about you guys?” he asked.
“Bullshit, you clearly won the most!”
One of his playmates, a bear, angrily roared.
“Forget it, do people like us really have to be petty over such minor wins and losses?” a person completely hidden inside a black cloak spoke.
“Then again, Chen Wang went out for some business earlier and only started to win when he came back” a mechanical arm spoke.
“Where did you go?” the bear couldn’t help but ask.
“Barry’s young protégé got into some trouble, so I did him a favor, but actually got a bit of profit out of it” Chen Wang grinned.
Seeing everyone interested, Chen Wang told them.
“Barry’s protégé? I remember him, Gu Qing Shan, right?” the bear thought about it for a few moments.
“Ah, him, I’ve also met him, quite the good sword user seed. He’ll probably be quite the merciless guy in the future as well” the mechanical arm commented.
“I heard some rumors about him having a close relationship with the Bramble Bird Empress” the person hidden by a robe spoke.
“Tch, women, always gossiping——- I’m going first, I want no part of this” the mechanical arm replied.
“Wait, it’s my treat today, you can go after we eat” Chen Wang called out.
“That’s fine”
Chen Wang, the bear, the robed person, the mechanical arm all stood up to leave the room.
They opened the door.

Right away, all sorts of noises and commotion could be heard from the office the size of a football field across from theirs.
Countless beings of different shapes and sizes filled that office.
They were all shouting, wanting to convey what they needed to as soon as possible.
The four of them went quiet.
“Tch, can’t the Profession Encyclopedia Department be a bit less noisy? We’re lucky we soundproofed our office” Chen Wang complained.
“You know how they are, there are so many new Professions being discovered every day, their book is always full, and they also have to keep an eye on how those Professions grow and arrange for their qualifications and such” the bear spoke.
“I’m having a headache just hearing that almost makes me want to destroy a few worlds to calm back down” the robed person commented.
“True, but fortunately, we don’t have to do such work” the mechanical arm sighed.
“In hindsight, Barry is the real smart guy here, always has a bad reputation to his name, so much so that no department wants to hire him, afraid that he’ll be surrounded by debtors without a way to do this job” Chen Wang also sighed.
“Let’s go” the bear spoke.
After just a few steps, Chen Wang was surprised.
“What is it?” the robed person asked.
“That woman is Gu Qing Shan’s master, why is she here—– I should’ve already arranged everything properly with that matter” Chen Wang wondered.
While he said that, Xie Dao Ling had already seen Chen Wang.
She came forward without hesitation and greeted him: “Sir Chen Wang, good to see you away”
“Why are you at the Referee Council? Did something go wrong with the matter from before?” Chen Wang asked doubtfully.
“No, I’m bringing some novices to the Profession Committee to enter the novice qualification test for entering the Strife Zones for cultivators” Xie Dao Ling explained.
“The novice qualification? So Gu Qing Shan is going to enter the Strife Zones huh?”
“He is”
Xie Dao Ling swung her sleeves to release Gu Qing Shan and the other two.
“Ah? Chen Wang? Big Bear? Yun Ji and Darkfire as well?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
“Yo”
“Hey, brat”
“Still handsome as always, little brother, let big sis invite you for a meal next time”
“Qing Shan, how’s it been?”
The four greeted him.
The robed person even pulled back her hood to reveal her beauty.
Turns out she was Yun Ji, a female Lord-class Combatant.
“I’m sorry, we’re here for some business, so if you guys have work to do, we won’t bother you” Gu Qing Shan spoke politely.
Chen Wang looked at the group and spoke: “It’s fine, we’ll just come in to watch for a bit”
“My fighting abilities aren’t anything for you to watch though” Gu Qing Shan spoke deprecatingly.

After joining the Justice Iron Fist Club, he got to learn quite a few basic knowledge regarding the infinite worlds.
To prevent casualties as well as preserving overall power for mankind as a whole, there wasn’t a need to directly fight for the qualification test among humans.
The Strife Zones qualification test was actually done through a large-scale Mystic-type magic in conjunction with technology to help the recording and screening process.
Chen Wang grinned: “I’m just afraid you won’t be clear about a few things and might lose your spot”
“That’s right, back then Barry wanted to go into the Strife Zones; but no matter how many times he took the test for the Boxer Profession, he couldn’t get the quota” Yun Ji chuckled.
Everyone exchanged glances and laughed out loud.
“What happened to him?” Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask.
“His Profession was that of a Boxer, but during the tests, he didn’t know he had to wear boxing gloves, so the test magic recognized him as not being in a state of battle, resulting in his battle score was only 30% of what it actually was, being at the very bottom of the barrel” the mechanical arm called Darkfire chuckled.
“…no one told him at all?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“The boxers were all competitors, why would they do that?”
“Not to mention, that man-child Barry was never someone patient enough to listen to the rules, he always went straight into the test every time”
“That’s why it wasn’t until he hit a growth spurt and was able to beat everyone else with just 30% of his strength that he qualified”
“His sister Kitty was much different, she passed right away on her first time”
“Yeah, now that you mention it, I only knew her true strength during the last war”
…
Gu Qing Shan looked at the 4 talkative Lords and understood.
They were worried he might make some mistakes during the qualification.
Bai Hua Fairy also noticed this and took the opportunity to ask something she was wondering: “Sir Chen Wang, are Lords such as yourself allotted any quotas?”
“You’re asking about the Strife Zone quotas, right? Ahaha, of course not, otherwise if someone enters without being strong enough, wouldn’t they just be heading to their own deaths?”
Big Bear added: “Not to mention, it isn’t as simple for humans as it is for other species like us, there are easily several ten thousand Professions existing at once, so there’s no way we would let a wizard go and compete for a quota with a bunch of boxers”
Darkfire continued: “If this wizard happens to actually steal a quota this way, then when they meet a boxer who knows about this in the Strife Zones and kill him out of spite, then it would’ve been awkward”
They were all grinning as they discussed this as if they were talking about something that already happened once before.
“That’s why everything will depend on your own strength, this is the fairest method, and also a way to protect the weaker bunch. After all, too many people die in the Strife Zones every day, weaklings won’t be able to survive——— as long as they aren’t idiots, no one would come to the Strife Zones just to die because they’re not strong enough”
Hearing that Xie Dao Ling was relieved.
“I had thought that the qualification would be the same as the cultivation alliance, requiring relations for everything. If it’s a fair fight, then there won’t be any trouble for my disciple” she smiled and spoke.
While they were talking, the group had reached the Profession Committee.
