Editor-in-chief Jack walked out of the conference hall, came to the editorial office, and quickly walked to the library archivist and threw the paper in front of him.

"Search this paper in the library... Is this youyu    xiao's achievements still in the library?"

He said anxiously, asking the archivist to search quickly, but when he finally saw the result, his face drooped.

"Damn it, it was automatically cleared..." Jack slapped his head, "God, what have we all missed?"

"Editor-in-chief, only those who have been removed should be rejected." The archivist who did not know the truth scratched his head, "Are you going to republish the rejected manuscript?"

"This is not just a paper problem, this scholar... no, the school behind him is the real thing to pay attention to!" Jack said quickly, "Check this Kunlun University, have you ever worked with American universities?"

The archivist did as he said, and the result was obvious: there was no result.

"Should it be said that it is worthy of teaching magicians?... It seems that we can only start with the part that is currently revealed."

Editor-in-chief Jack slapped the table: "Now! Send an email to the scholar immediately! Explain our intention to re-post the paper... Telephone number! Yes! Call too! Let's talk about it by communicating with the author before publishing!"

Before publishing an article by a core journal, it occasionally calls the contributor to communicate about publication matters, which is indeed not out of line.

"This... is the number of mainland China." The archivist searched according to his words and checked the contact information filled in when Xiao Youyu submitted the article, and then hesitated. "For overseas contributors, we rarely contact them on their own initiative, they are all emails..."

"Don't worry about that much." Editor-in-chief Jack pointed to the public telephone next to him, "Call now."

The archivist was a little stunned by his words. He probably had never seen the editor-in-chief look so excited. Under such circumstances, she could only pick up the phone and dial while being suspicious.

Can the editor-in-chief pay attention to it personally? What kind of big shot this scholar must be?

She must be a mature and steady industry expert... she thought.

......

At this moment, the Immortal Games Medical Department is in the Medical Department.

"Damn it, be gentle!!!"

The medical staff in charge of this place have finished their work and left. After all the mobile devices have been moved away, the remaining arrangement of the room is very simple, with only two beds and one table. The table is made of elixirs and medical equipment, and the bed is made of Wu Hao and Xiao Youyu.

At this time, the former had already completed the basic treatment, changed into new clothes, and sat there to regulate the breath and digest the medicinal power of the healing pill that had just been taken; while Yuan Qingqing stood in front of Xiao Youyu on the other side, constantly stretched out his hand to light the wounds, pressing him to almost jump out of the bed several times.

During the Immortal Games, people were nervous. Now the doctors from the outside world have gone to other places. Only she stayed to wipe the butts of the two of them. They applied medicine and pointed the acupoints, and were so busy.

After a few hours, the situation of both of them on the bed became stable, but Yuan Qingqing was exhausted from his spiritual power and panting.

She was very angry now. Although she knew that they each had their own ideas, she had to do this fight. But for some reason, she was so angry that she saw the two fighting so hard that they looked like they were covered in bruises.

While getting angry, he was concentrating on treating them, fearing that something would go wrong if it would take a long time.

Although Wu Hao had a large electric scorch on his chest, his injuries were not serious, but only some skin injuries. But Xiao Youyu...

"The internal meridian was damaged, the heart and lungs were shaken, and two ribs were broken..."

Yuan Qingqing said while checking, staring at the two people in front of him, his face as dark as the bottom of the pot: "You two are really trying to kill you, right?"

Wu Hao sat on the bed and didn't dare to say anything. Instead, Xiao Youyu, who was under her, laughed dryly: "Is the fight? That's it? Anyway, there's no dead person, so there's no big problem."

"This is not a big problem?" Yuan Qingqing was furious, "What are you all thinking about?"

"After all, this competition was announced to the whole world. You can't let the water go?" Xiao Youyu said, "When so many people look at it, you have to live a big life, otherwise how can you be worthy of the audience?"

"You..." Yuan Qingqing couldn't say anything about him and threw the tool in his hand on the table, "I don't care about you anymore!"

That's it, but at this time Xiao Youyu had actually handled it almost as soon as possible. She stuffed a healing pill into his mouth with her back hand, wiped the sweat, and turned around and went to see Wu Hao's situation again.

Compared with the one over there, this one was quite obedient, and she let her work hard. After a while, she suddenly spoke to Xiao Youyu there.

"Hey, when you recover, let's go to a nearby shop for a meal."

Xiao Youyu looked over in surprise, then saw Wu Hao scratching his head, and said with a tangled look: "I didn't say it before, if you win the game, I'll treat you. Now that the preliminary round is over, the draw can be considered a promotion, I'll treat you."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Youyu looked at him for a moment, then suddenly shrugged and smiled.

"It's true, it's time to leave school this time." Xiao Youyu said casually, "Then I have to slaughter you hard, will you drink?"

"No problem, I have a lot of salary for internships. Just choose a place." Wu Haoshu breathed out and smiled, saying to Yuan Qingqing beside him, "You can go together, right?"

Yuan Qingqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Hao, then looked at Xiao Youyu next to her, and finally sighed helplessly, pouting and said, "I really can't do anything to you..."

The atmosphere became subtle, Wu Hao and Xiao Youyu were laughing, Yuan Qingqing stood between them with his waist and angrily, looking helpless. I don’t know how long it took, but the phone ring suddenly broke the subtlety.

"Your." Yuan Qingqing took Xiao Youyu's cell phone from the side and handed it to him, glanced at the number on it, "It seems...is it a foreign number?"

"Hello, is it youyu    xiao? This is the PHRL editorial department."

A polite English female voice came from the phone. Wu Hao and Yuan Qingqing could not understand the specific content, but both of them saw Xiao Youyu's expression change suddenly.

"It's like this. We found that you had previously submitted a paper titled "On the Law of Energy Transformation of Spiritual Qi - Determination Experiment Based on Quantitative Methods" to our journal. Due to our previous work mistakes, we have caused a misjudgment of the rejection of your submission. I would like to express my sincere apology to you."

The female voice said: "After our second review, we believe that the theory you proposed is very subversive and is enough to meet the publication requirements of our publication. I would like to express my congratulations."

"It's just that due to the previous misoperation, the original paper was lost. Can you please send another copy to the editorial department? If you don't mind, we can now start discussing the royalties and subsequent official publication matters."

On the other end of the phone, Editor Jack stood beside the archivist who was calling, pricking his ears to listen to the conversation in the receiver, and felt a little nervous for a moment.

As the editor-in-chief of the top magazine, he felt nervous about a contributor, which was really a big drop. But after a moment of silence, he heard a chuckle from the receiver.

"So that's the case. I sincerely hope that the work of your journal can be more detailed and try my best to avoid such mistakes in the future. This time, there is no need to compensate. Because this paper will no longer be submitted to non-Chinese journals."

As soon as a sentence came out, the two people on the United States were stunned: "What did you say?"

Nowadays, all the top academic journals in the world are dominated by English. He said this, but that means...

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Youyu said, "If it's okay, I'm still busy here, so I'll be dead first."

"Busy?" The person on the other side of the phone showed some anxiety, "What are you going to have to be busy now? We can discuss it briefly first..."

"I'm going to have dinner with my classmates."

“???”

Editor-in-chief Jack and the archivist on the other side of the phone were both stupid and ignorant on the spot, wondering for a moment whether they had heard it wrong or whether the Chinese people were not able to express their English incorrectly. But then, they heard the beeping echo from the microphone.

"He... hung up the phone." The archivist put down the phone with disbelief, "This..."

Editor-in-chief Jack's face was gloomy. If it were before, he might have been angry about this person's rudeness. But now he knows that this contributor may really have this capital.

He rejected the phrl? He rejected the invitation from the world's top magazine?

So, where is he going to publish his achievements?

According to what I just said, it is not published in Chinese. Now, there are no world-class top journals in China...

Jack savored what he said just now. For some reason, he actually felt a sense of crisis.

"If he refuses, don't contact him personally." He said calmly, "Tell all the editors that from now on, focus on academic achievements related to 'real energy' and widely absorbed, even if the quality is slightly inferior, it doesn't matter..."

"The United States... and even this world are about to start facing the 'truth'."

......

As he said, in this time, the other side of the ocean was destined to be extraordinary.

In Western countries, most people are not actually interested in overseas news. At most, they will only pay attention to major events related to their own countries, such as international conferences, commercial trade, etc. - but even these are just the hobbies of a small number of people.

Because, compared with the East's persistence with foreigners, Westerners' sensitivity and attention to "foreign" are actually much lower than imagined, especially for the East that does not belong to the same cultural context.

For those countries in the East, many Westerners only know that there is such a place. Many people don’t even know the difference between China and Japan and South Korea, and they even talk about concerning non-international affairs within China.

But within these two days, starting from the academic and press, news from China began to ferment among the people.

"A real magician has emerged within the territory of China!"

This news was originally published by a self-media blogger in China, with a short video, which was a collection of highlights of players from the Immortal Games competition. Through certain operating methods, this news became popular overnight on a certain Blue Bird software, and it exceeded one million clicks within 6 hours of release.

On the Blue Bird software, there are actually many supernatural power videos like this, and the public should have been aesthetically tired. In fact, before this, some people have posted news about cultivators in China, but for various reasons, they were all blocked by the Blue Bird's anti-rumor mechanism.

But the difference is that this time, people have found mainstream media such as Mi Yonshang and Lu Torshang through this video. Among the clues, the keyword "Immortal Games" was dug up.

Although mainstream media reports on this have not yet reached a scale and are mostly news-based news, they cannot withstand the combat effectiveness of overseas curiosity hunting parties.

A group of netizens quickly climbed over the wall to find the official website of the Immortal Games, and tried their best to transfer the videos and photos to youtube, facebook, instagram and even tiktok. A big trend soon formed, with the topic titled "Magics from the East".

But it is obvious that this question is also inaccurate. When netizens opened a video under the category "Magic 1v1 Knight Duel", and then saw the physical cultivator's fist to the flesh, and the sword light and sword shadows between the instrument cultivator, countless people called Farke in front of the computer, and said a sentence in a thousand words - "Do you call this a magician???"

However, in addition to this kind of comment, more comments are still marveling or questioning in accordance with the rules. After Youtuan has not refuted these videos for dozens of hours, the doubts will automatically weaken.

"There is really magic in the world! It's in the East! They call that kind of magic "Cultivation of Immortals"!"

"Can they really control wind, fire, thunder and lightning!"

"Who knows what the spell they used to launch magic means? That 'urgency as the law'?"

"I have read a lot of Chinese online novels, and I am familiar with this!"

Soon someone began to show off his knowledge in the comment section, and popularized the concepts of "Eight Trigrams Yin and Yang", "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth" to netizens, and received considerable likes.

But it is obvious that in addition to their amazement at the players themselves, what they are more curious about is these people, the fundamental source of these extraordinary powers.

At this moment, the power of Western culture's imagination was reflected. Within 24 hours, foreign netizens tried their best to exert their understanding of Chinese history, and discussions on this topic were prevalent on the Internet.

"This should be a mysterious organization hidden in history!"

"No, no, with such great power, they are messengers of God, and this must be a member of the church!"

"Brother, I think you know too little about Chinese culture. They don't believe in any gods and have no church at all."

"Maybe...is just a citizen of a small country that has not been discovered by the world? Just like the mysterious race on an uninhabited island."

All kinds of speculations were flying all over the sky, until the official news from the news agency finally came out to clarify and a special report on it was posted, and people only understood their true source.

That special report only has more than a hundred words, and most of it was translated into English from the introduction copied on the official website, but it received nearly one million views in a few hours. From that, people knew one thing-
Chapter completed!
