fán yōng dǎo ， dǎo rú qí míng 。
樊庸岛，岛如其名。
Fan Yong Island, as its name suggests.
fán zhě ， lí bā yě 。 yōng zhě ， wú yòng yě 。
樊者，篱笆也。庸者，无用也。
樊 means fence or hedge; 庸 means useless.
zhè wèi dǎo yǔ dì chǔ jí piān pì hǎi yù ， fāng yuán qiān lǐ zhī nèi dōu méi yǒu rèn hé qí tā dǎo yǔ 。 bù guò huò xǔ zhèng shì yīn wèi zhè ge yuán yīn ， zhè piàn hǎi yù zhōng de líng qì quán dōu jù zài zài le fán yōng dǎo shàng ， dǎo zhì zhè zuò dà dǎo nián nián fēng tiáo yǔ shùn 、 wù chǎn jí dù fēng fù 。
这位岛屿地处极偏僻海域，方圆千里之内都没有任何其他岛屿。不过或许正是因为这个原因，这片海域中的灵气全都聚在在了樊庸岛上，导致这座大岛年年风调雨顺、物产极度丰富。
This island is located in a very remote sea area, with no other islands within a thousand miles around it. Perhaps precisely because of this reason, all the spiritual energy in this sea gathered on Fan Yong Island, making the large island have favorable weather and extremely rich resources year-round.
jí biàn bù yòng rèn hé rén wéi gēng zuò ， zì rán ér chǎn de zuò wù jiù zú gòu dǎo shàng jū mín yī shí wú yōu le 。
即便不用任何人为耕作，自然而产的作物就足够岛上居民衣食无忧了。
Even without any artificial cultivation, naturally produced crops were enough to ensure the basic needs of the residents.
shèn zhì dǎo shàng jǐ zuò dà xíng cāng kù dōu quán bù duī mǎn liáng shí 、 màn màn fǔ làn dōu wú rén xīn téng 。
甚至岛上几座大型仓库都全部堆满粮食、慢慢腐烂都无人心疼。
In fact, even several large warehouses on the island were completely filled with grain, and no one cared about them rotting slowly over time.
ér qiě zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， sì hū zì cóng yún hǎi dàn shēng yǐ lái jiù yì zhí chí xù le 。
而且这种情况，似乎自丛云海诞生以来就一直持续了。
And this situation seemed to have been ongoing since the birth of Cunyun Sea.
zhè yě zào chéng le yī zhǒng xiàn xiàng ： fán yōng dǎo jū mín méi yǒu le shēng cún yā lì 。 měi tiān chú le chī hé shuì zhī wài ， gàn de zuì duō de yī jiàn shì jiù shì míng wèi 【 shuāi dòu 】 de huó dòng 。
这也造成了一种现象：樊庸岛居民没有了生存压力。每天除了吃和睡之外，干的最多的一件事就是名为【摔斗】的活动。
This also led to a phenomenon: The residents of Fan Yong Island had no survival pressure. Apart from eating and sleeping, their main activity was called "Fighting Match."
bǐ shì shuāng fāng chì shēn ér dòu ， yíng zhě jiāng huò dé bài zhě de shè huì shēn fèn yí gè yuè ： néng gòu huò dé duì fāng zī chǎn de chǔ zhì quán ， yǐ jí xíng shǐ duì fāng de shēn fèn quán lì 。
比试双方赤身而斗，赢者将获得败者的社会身份一个月：能够获得对方资产的处置权，以及行使对方的身份权力。
The two competitors fought naked, with the winner gaining one month of the loser's social status: the right to dispose of the opponent’s assets and exercise their identity rights.
chú le bù dé zuò chū wēi hài dǎo yǔ de xíng wéi ， qí tā bǎi wú jìn jì 。
除了不得作出危害岛屿的行为，其他百无禁忌。
Apart from not harming the island, everything else was allowed.
bài zhě zài zhè yí gè yuè shí jiān nèi ， zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe duì fāng chéng wéi lìng wài de zì jǐ 。
败者在这一个月时间内，只能眼睁睁看着对方成为另外的自己。
During this month, the loser could only watch as the other became another version of themselves.
huā guāng zì jǐ de cái chǎn ， shuì zì jǐ de lǎo pó ……
花光自己的财产，睡自己的老婆……
Spending all his wealth, sleeping with his wife...
dāng rán ， rú guǒ xīn lǐ jué de bù fú qì de huà ， yí gè yuè hòu kě yǐ zài dù fā qǐ tiǎo zhàn 。
当然，如果心里觉得不服气的话，一个月后可以再度发起挑战。
Of course, if he felt unsatisfied, he could challenge again after a month.
bù guò ， dì èr cì rú guǒ zài dù zhàn bài de huà 、 nà me yí gè yuè de chí xù shí jiān jiāng huì fān bèi zhì liǎng gè yuè 。
不过，第二次如果再度战败的话、那么一个月的持续时间将会翻倍至两个月。
But if he lost again, the duration would double to two months.
yǐ cǐ lèi tuī 。
以此类推。
This continued in a similar manner.
zuò wéi dǎo shàng wéi yī yě shì zuì liú xíng de yú lè huó dòng ， shuāi dòu měi cì jǔ xíng ， dōu néng xī yǐn jī hū quán fán yōng dǎo rén qián lái guān kàn 。
作为岛上唯一也是最流行的娱乐活动，摔斗每次举行，都能吸引几乎全樊庸岛人前来观看。
As the island's sole and most popular entertainment activity, Fighting Match always attracted almost everyone from Fan Yong Island.
rén men qǐ hòng 、 huān hū zhe ， dāng shì rén dòu hóng le yǎn ， dāng shì rén de jiā shǔ zé shì jǐn zhāng wàn fēn 。
人们起哄、欢呼着，当事人斗红了眼，当事人的家属则是紧张万分。
People cheered, while the participants fought fiercely. The families of the participants were extremely anxious.
rán ér ， jiù zài zuì jìn yī cì de shuāi dòu jié shù zhī hòu ， lìng suǒ yǒu guān zhàn zhě gǎn dào bù kě sī yì de shì qíng fā shēng le 。
然而，就在最近一次的摔斗结束之后，令所有观战者感到不可思议的事情发生了。
However, after the latest Fighting Match ended, something unbelievable happened that left all spectators astonished.
shèng zhě jū rán zài zhòng mù kuí kuí zhī xià ， biàn chéng le bài zhě de mú yàng ！
胜者居然在众目睽睽之下，变成了败者的模样！
The winner actually transformed into the loser’s appearance in plain sight!
ér yuán xiān de nà wèi zhàn bài zhě ， dà tíng guǎng zhòng zhī xià wú gù xiāo shī le ！
而原先的那位战败者，大庭广众之下无故消失了！
And the original loser suddenly vanished in broad daylight!
gèng yǒu xiē lí qí de shì ， fā shēng rú cǐ guǐ yì de xiàn xiàng ， dǎo shàng jū mín jìng rán méi yǒu tíng zhǐ shuāi dòu bǐ shì 。
更有些离奇的是，发生如此诡异的现象，岛上居民竟然没有停止摔斗比试。
Even more bizarrely, despite such a strange phenomenon occurring, the residents did not stop fighting.
fǎn ér rè qíng yù fā péng zhàng qǐ lái 。
反而热情愈发膨胀起来。
Instead, their enthusiasm grew even further.
yíng xià yí gè rén ， zhēn zhèng yíng dé tā de quán bù ！ hái yǒu shén me bǐ zhè ge gèng jiā cì jī de shì qíng ma ？
赢下一个人，真正赢得他的全部！还有什么比这个更加刺激的事情吗？
Winning someone truly meant gaining everything they had! What could be more thrilling than that?
zuì chū rén men dí què shì yǐ zhè zhǒng xīn tài qù kàn dài zhè xīn de shuāi dòu de 。
最初人们的确是以这种心态去看待这新的摔斗的。
Initially, people indeed viewed this new Fighting Match with such thoughts.
dàn hěn kuài ， tā men jiù yì shí dào le bú duì 。
但很快，他们就意识到了不对。
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
suí jí kǒng huāng kāi shǐ zài fán yōng dǎo shàng màn yán 。
随即恐慌开始在樊庸岛上蔓延。
Panic began to spread across Fan Yong Island.
dàn shì shuāi dòu què bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ tíng zhǐ ……
但是摔斗却并没有因此停止……
However, the Fighting Matches did not stop...
yīn wèi zhè chǎng yóu xì ， zǎo jiù bú shì tā men néng gòu kòng zhì de le 。
因为这场游戏，早就不是他们能够控制的了。
Because this game was no longer under their control.
guǐ yì lǒng zhào xià ， fán yōng dǎo shàng měi tiān zhì shǎo huì fā shēng rén shù yí bàn shù liàng de shuāi dòu 。 wú shì shuāng fāng yì yuàn ， qiáng zhì shēng xiào 。
诡异笼罩下，樊庸岛上每天至少会发生人数一半数量的摔斗。无视双方意愿，强制生效。
Under the mysterious influence, half of the population on Fan Yong Island would engage in a Fighting Match every day. This was forced upon them regardless of their wishes.
shū jiā xiāo shī ， shèng zhě biàn huàn chéng shī bài zhě de mú yàng 。
输家消失，胜者变幻成失败者的模样。
Losers disappeared, and winners transformed into losers' appearances.
bù jǐn jǐn shì xíng tǐ 、 wài mào fā shēng biàn huà 。
不仅仅是形体、外貌发生变化。
Not only did their physical appearance change; even their body's ability values changed accordingly.
jiù lián shēn tǐ de néng lì zhí ， yě huì fā shēng xiāng yìng de gǎi biàn 。
就连身体的能力值，也会发生相应的改变。
Only internally, the winner retained dominance, absorbing the loser’s memories.
wéi yǒu nèi zài ， réng shì shèng zhě wéi zhǔ dǎo 、 tūn shì le bài zhě de jì yì 。
唯有内在，仍是胜者为主导、吞噬了败者的记忆。
During each match, both parties’ minds were affected to some extent. They fought with all their might without intentionally giving up.
bìng qiě bǐ shì shí ， shuāng fāng xīn zhì dū huì shòu dào yí dìng yǐng xiǎng 。 quán lì ér wèi ， bú huì gù yì rèn shū 。
并且比试时，双方心志都会受到一定影响。全力而为，不会故意认输。
As time passed, the continuous Fighting Matches led to a rapid decrease in the island's population.
suí zhe shí jiān yī tiān tiān guò qù ， shuāi dòu chí xù bú duàn dì jìn xíng zhōng ， dǎo shàng de rén kǒu yě zài xùn sù jiǎn shǎo 。
随着时间一天天过去，摔斗持续不断地进行中，岛上的人口也在迅速减少。
Some people could no longer bear it and chose to end their lives.
yǒu de rén shí zài chéng shòu bú zhù ， xuǎn zé le zì wǒ liǎo duàn 。
有的人实在承受不住，选择了自我了断。
The rest continued to change identities through one match after another.
ér shèng xià de zé shì zài yī cháng yòu yī cháng de bǐ shì zhōng ， biàn huàn shēn fèn 。
而剩下的则是在一场又一场的比试中，变幻身份。
When Li Fan finally found the only survivor on Fan Yong Island and sorted out the events from over 100,000 chaotic memories, he couldn't help feeling a chill.
dāng lǐ fán zuì zhōng zhǎo dào fán yōng dǎo wéi yī de xìng cún zhě 、 bìng cóng tā nǎo hǎi zhōng shí duō wàn fèn hùn luàn de jì yì zhōng lǐ qīng chǔ shì qíng de lái lóng qù mài zhī hòu ， yě bù yóu gǎn dào yī zhèn xīn jì 。
当李凡最终找到樊庸岛唯一的幸存者、并从他脑海中十多万份混乱的记忆中理清楚事情的来龙去脉之后，也不由感到一阵心悸。
The dark and eerie power on Fan Yong Island had vanished.
fán yōng dǎo shàng de yōu àn guǐ yì zhī lì yǐ jīng xiāo shī le 。
樊庸岛上的幽暗诡异之力已经消失了。
Before him stood a creature resembling a cylinder with facial features almost submerged in flesh, leaving only a few vertical lines. This was the final winner of the island—a being that should have been the weakest existence there.
ér yǎn qián zhè wèi zhǎng de hǎo sì yuán zhù tǐ 、 liǎn shàng wǔ guān dōu yào bèi ròu yān mò ， zhǐ shèng xià jǐ tiáo shù xiàn de qí xíng zhǒng ， jiù shì zuì hòu de yíng jiā le 。
而眼前这位长的好似圆柱体、脸上五官都要被肉淹没，只剩下几条竖线的奇行种，就是最后的赢家了。
Due to his excessive weight, even simple actions like stretching an arm or moving were difficult. Thus, he could not retaliate and lost every match, losing both the battle and the victory.
zhè wèi yuán běn yīng gāi shì fán yōng dǎo shàng zuì wèi chán ruò de cún zài 。
这位原本应该是樊庸岛上最为孱弱的存在。
However, within this body dwelled the willpower of over 100,000 people on Fan Yong Island. Dominating it was a continuous victor—a supreme being who had always emerged victorious.
yīn wèi tǐ zhòng tài guò páng dà ， shèn zhì lián shēn gē bó 、 yí dòng dōu shì jiàn nán shì 。 suǒ yǐ zài měi cì shuāi dòu zhōng ， lián huán shǒu dōu zuò bú dào 。 zhǐ néng bái bái ái dǎ 、 shī qù le bǐ sài de shèng lì 。
因为体重太过庞大，甚至连伸胳膊、移动都是件难事。所以在每次摔斗中，连还手都做不到。只能白白挨打、失去了比赛的胜利。
Each win seemed to absorb some strength from the loser, making him the most powerful in the overall willpower.
dàn zhè jù shēn qū nèi de yì zhì ， què shì fán yōng dǎo shàng shí duō wàn rén de jí hé 。 zhàn jù zhǔ dǎo de ， zé shì yì zhí shèng lì lái xià de jué duì qiáng zhě 。
但这具身躯内的意志，却是樊庸岛上十多万人的集合。占据主导的，则是一直胜利来下的绝对强者。
However, after experiencing such a nightmare, this massive ball of flesh was about to collapse.
měi cì shèng lì sì hū dōu néng cóng duì fāng shēn shàng tūn shì yī xiē zēng qiáng zì jǐ ， rú jīn zhǐ tā yī rén zài zhěng tǐ yì zhì zhōng zhàn jù de fèn liàng ， jiù bǐ qí tā suǒ yǒu rén jiā qǐ lái dōu yào qiáng dà 。
每次胜利似乎都能从对方身上吞噬一些增强自己，如今只他一人在整体意志中占据的分量，就比其他所有人加起来都要强大。
He sat dazed on the ground, his face full of confusion.
bù guò jīng lì le rú cǐ è mèng bān de chǎng jǐng ， zhè zūn ròu qiú yě jí jiāng miàn lín bēng kuì 。
不过经历了如此噩梦般的场景，这尊肉球也即将面临崩溃。
But when Li Fan appeared before him, he instinctively initiated a Fighting Match.
dāi dāi dì zuò zài dì miàn shàng ， mǎn liǎn mí máng 。
呆呆地坐在地面上，满脸迷茫。
Li Fan felt a dark force emanating from the other as if invisible tentacles were trying to attach themselves to him in that instant.
zhǐ shì dāng lǐ fán chū xiàn zài tā miàn qián de shí hòu ， tā běn néng de yào fā qǐ le shuāi dòu bǐ shì 。
只是当李凡出现在他面前的时候，他本能的要发起了摔斗比试。
However, Li Fan snorted and vanished without a trace, leaving these dark forces to grab air.
ér lǐ fán yě shì zài zhè shùn jiān ， jiù yǐn yǐn gǎn dào yī gǔ yōu àn de lì liàng cóng duì fāng shēn tǐ lǐ jī fā ér chū ， hǎo sì yī tiáo tiáo wú xíng chù shǒu 、 jiù yào pān fù dào tā de shēn shàng 。
而李凡也是在这瞬间，就隐隐感到一股幽暗的力量从对方身体里激发而出，好似一条条无形触手、就要攀附到他的身上。
The fat ball continued to sit dazedly on the ground.
bù guò lǐ fán lěng hēng yī shēng ， yǐn qù le zōng jì 。
不过李凡冷哼一声，隐去了踪迹。
Li Fan had a premonition: If he hadn't dodged the Fighting Match just now, after winning, he would also transform into this state.
ràng zhè xiē yōu àn zhuā le gè kōng 。
让这些幽暗抓了个空。
Whether his cultivation level or realm would be preserved was unknown.
zhè zūn dà pàng zi yú shì jì xù dāi dāi zuò lì yuán dì 。
这尊大胖子于是继续呆呆坐立原地。
"This ability..."
lǐ fán xīn zhōng yǒu gǔ yù gǎn ， rú guǒ zì jǐ méi yǒu duǒ diào gāng gāng de shuāi dòu bǐ shì 。
李凡心中有股预感，如果自己没有躲掉刚刚的摔斗比试。
Li Fan immediately thought of Mo Roubin's Mirror Substitute Technique.
nà me chéng wéi yíng jiā zhī hòu ， zì jǐ yě jiāng huì biàn chéng yǎn qián zhè fù zūn róng 。
那么成为赢家之后，自己也将会变成眼前这副尊荣。
However, what happened on Fan Yong Island seemed weaker and more restricted than Mo Roubin’s.
zhì yú xiū wèi jìng jiè shén me de huì bú huì bǎo liú ， jiù wú cóng ér zhī liǎo 。
至于修为境界什么的会不会保留，就无从而知了。
But if used properly, it could still count as a formidable ability.
“ zhè ge néng lì ……”
“这个能力……”
Although this Fighting Match ultimately caused the winner to continuously regress in strength...
lǐ fán dì yī shí jiān jiù xiǎng dào le mò rú bīn de jìng miàn qǔ ér dài 。
李凡第一时间就想到了墨儒斌的镜面取而代。
This was only under conditions where the stronger won over the weaker.
bù guò fán yōng dǎo shàng fā shēng de ， xiǎn rán bǐ qǐ mò rú bīn de ruò yī xiē 、 xiàn zhì yě gèng dà yī xiē 。
不过樊庸岛上发生的，显然比起墨儒斌的弱一些、限制也更大一些。
What about when the weaker won over the stronger?
dàn ruò shì lì yòng dé dàng ， réng rán jué duì suàn de shàng yī xiàng liǎo bù dé de néng lì 。
但若是利用得当，仍然绝对算的上一项了不得的能力。
Wouldn't they be able to rapidly transform their power through such an ability step by step?
suī rán kàn shàng qù ， zhè ge shuāi dòu bǐ shì zuì zhōng huì shǐ shèng zhě cháo zhe ruò de fāng xiàng bù duàn tuì huà ……
虽然看上去，这个摔斗比试最终会使胜者朝着弱的方向不断退化……
Generally, weakness meant defeat; strength meant victory.
dàn zhè shì zài yǐ qiáng shèng ruò de qíng kuàng xià 。
但这是在以强胜弱的情况下。
But for Li Fan, there were many ways to achieve a weak-over-strong outcome.
rú guǒ shì yǐ ruò shèng qiáng ne ？
如果是以弱胜强呢？
Thinking this, Li Fan became intrigued.
qǐ bù shì yí bù yí bù ， jiù kào zhe zhè zhǒng néng lì jiù kě yǐ duǎn shí jiān shí xiàn shí lì de kuài sù tuì biàn ？
岂不是一步一步，就靠着这种能力就可以短时间实现实力的快速蜕变？
He casually grabbed a Foundation Establishment cultivator and immobilized him with the Binding Insect Technique despite his terrified gaze.
yì bān lái shuō ， ruò jí shì bài 、 qiáng jí shì shèng 。
一般来说，弱即是败、强即是胜。
Then he threw the fleshy ball in front of him.
dàn duì yú lǐ fán ér yán ， yǒu tài duō de bàn fǎ néng gòu zuò dào yǐ ruò shèng qiáng 。
但对于李凡而言，有太多的办法能够做到以弱胜强。
Driven by instinct, the fleshy ball initiated a Fighting Match against the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
niàn jí cǐ chù ， lǐ fán bù jīn lái le xìng qù 。
念及此处，李凡不禁来了兴趣。
Although the fleshy ball could hardly move, it was controlled by a powerful soul.
wài chū suí shǒu zhuā le yí gè zhù jī xiū shì ， bù guǎn qí jīng kǒng wú bǐ de mù guāng 、 zhí jiē yòng fù chóng dìng zhù 。
外出随手抓了一个筑基修士，不管其惊恐无比的目光、直接用缚虫定住。
He looked at this healthy but immobile body, and his previously迷茫的眼神 instantly burst into intense survival light.
ér hòu rēng dào le pàng qiú miàn qián 。
而后扔到了胖球面前。
Struggling for what seemed like half an hour, he finally completed the match.
zài běn néng de qū shǐ xià ， pàng qiú duì zhù jī xiū shì kāi zhǎn le shuāi dòu bǐ shì yāo qǐng 。
在本能的驱使下，胖球对筑基修士开展了摔斗比试邀请。
However, to his great disappointment, although he won the match, he did not transform into the opponent's appearance.
suī rán pàng qiú shēn qū jī hū nán yǐ yí dòng ， dàn zhǔ zǎi tā shēn tǐ de què shì yí gè qiáng dà de líng hún 。
虽然胖球身躯几乎难以移动，但主宰他身体的却是一个强大的灵魂。
Puzzled, he realized the reason: The match was unfair; external forces interfered with it...
tā kàn zhuó yǎn qián zhè jù jiàn kāng 、 què dòng tán bù dé de shēn qū ， yuán běn mí máng de yǎn shén shùn jiān bào fā chū chì liè de qiú shēng guāng máng 。
他看着眼前这具健康、却动弹不得的身躯，原本迷茫的眼神瞬间爆发出炽烈的求生光芒。
So, the result of the match was invalid!
zhēng zhá zhe ， jī hū fèi le bàn tiān shí jiān ， cái zuì zhōng wán chéng le bǐ shì 。
挣扎着，几乎废了半天时间，才最终完成了比试。
Thinking about this sudden newcomer who didn't belong on the island, he instantly realized that there were still other people hiding on the island!
bù guò ， ràng tā shī wàng wú bǐ de shì ， suī rán yíng dé le bǐ sài 、 dàn tā què méi yǒu biàn chéng duì fāng de mú yàng 。
不过，让他失望无比的是，虽然赢得了比赛、但他却没有变成对方的模样。
And...
lèng le lèng ， tā suí jí míng bái le yuán yīn 。
愣了愣，他随即明白了原因。
The ability to immobilize someone could very likely be a legendary Immortal Master!
yīn wèi ， zhè chǎng bǐ shì bìng bú shì gōng píng de 。
因为，这场比试并不是公平的。
With this thought, his heart leaped with excitement.
yǒu wài zài de lì liàng duì bǐ sài jìn xíng le gān rǎo ……
有外在的力量对比赛进行了干扰……
(End of Chapter)
Fan Yong Island, as its name suggests.
樊 means fence or hedge; 庸 means useless.
This island is located in a very remote sea area, with no other islands within a thousand miles around it. Perhaps precisely because of this reason, all the spiritual energy in this sea gathered on Fan Yong Island, making the large island have favorable weather and extremely rich resources year-round.
Even without any artificial cultivation, naturally produced crops were enough to ensure the basic needs of the residents.
In fact, even several large warehouses on the island were completely filled with grain, and no one cared about them rotting slowly over time.
And this situation seemed to have been ongoing since the birth of Cunyun Sea.
This also led to a phenomenon: The residents of Fan Yong Island had no survival pressure. Apart from eating and sleeping, their main activity was called "Fighting Match."
The two competitors fought naked, with the winner gaining one month of the loser's social status: the right to dispose of the opponent’s assets and exercise their identity rights.
Apart from not harming the island, everything else was allowed.
During this month, the loser could only watch as the other became another version of themselves.
Spending all his wealth, sleeping with his wife...
Of course, if he felt unsatisfied, he could challenge again after a month.
But if he lost again, the duration would double to two months.
This continued in a similar manner.
As the island's sole and most popular entertainment activity, Fighting Match always attracted almost everyone from Fan Yong Island.
People cheered, while the participants fought fiercely. The families of the participants were extremely anxious.
However, after the latest Fighting Match ended, something unbelievable happened that left all spectators astonished.
