Chapter 656: Chapter 596: Farewell to Bai Zhenzhen

“Kuang Tianqing actually received guidance from eight Divine Monarchs of the four major universities?”

Yan Qianji looked at Kuang Tianqing standing proudly ahead, listening to her words, feeling a shock in his heart: “How did she achieve this?”

“No, for eight Divine Monarchs to come together to tutor her, this definitely isn’t something she could accomplish alone.”

“It wasn’t her choosing the eight Divine Monarchs, but the eight Divine Monarchs choosing her.”

Thinking this, Yan Qianji already understood: “Heavenly Demon, Bone, Netherworld, Hehuan… it’s the alliance between these four, their collaboration depth far exceeds the past.”

“Are they even… even cultivating Kuang Tianqing together, supporting her to win the championship?”

Yan Qianji’s heart sank at this thought because compared to them, the collaboration depth of Wanfa, Sky Sword, Vajra, and Immortal Soldier clearly does not compare.

“Compared to the other side, at best we only share resources; in fact, there’s more competition.”

Yan Qianji gave a bitter smile, unexpectedly finding himself vaguely on the losing side before the Ten League has even officially started.

At the same time, on the other side, Wen Wuya looked at Kuang Tianqing standing aloft, with an unmistakable look of envy in his eyes.

To be guided by eight Divine Monarchs, what kind of treatment is this?

Just imagining it made Wen Wuya tremble with excitement.

Thinking further about not even being able to manage his own master, Wen Wuya increasingly felt the gap between himself and Kuang Tianqing.

“My master and I both lost…”

“I am not as good as Kuang Tianqing, nor is my master as good as Kuang Tianqing’s master.”

Tao Qiankun looked at Kuang Tianqing with eyes full of seriousness, feeling unprecedented pressure from her aura.

“This guy…”

Seeing Kuang Tianqing’s aggressive gaze, Tao Qiankun thought to himself: “She sees me as prey too.”

“Does she aim to use dual cultivation to extract my cultivation?”

“If… in direct confrontation, the outcome is unknown.”

“Then a dual cultivation duel puts me in an unfamiliar path, using her richer experience and advanced techniques to defeat me.”

“I absolutely can’t let her drag me into this path…”

On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at Kuang Tianqing’s enchanting figure, but was reminded of another issue.

“Hehuan University… Divinity Transformation Divine Monarch’s guidance?”

“Did Kuang Tianqing also receive guidance from Qiongjiang Divine Monarch?”

Zhang Yu recalled related information about Qiongjiang Divine Monarch, the Five Heavenly Taxes, and mighty reincarnations.

He remembered what the Evil Gods had said, that Qiongjiang Divine Monarch used his immortal path skills to help many sect members store their cultivation, returning it after their reincarnation as a way to evade reincarnation taxes like the Five Heavenly Taxes.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “Is this Kuang Tianqing a mighty reincarnation? Could this talk of receiving guidance from eight Divine Monarchs be a cover for her tax evasion?”

Zhang Yu couldn’t confirm this, and merely held onto his suspicion in his heart.

Alongside this, Zhang Yu also felt a heavier pressure from Kuang Tianqing.

“Kuang Tianqing, Tao Qiankun… the competitors in this Ten League are truly stronger than each other.”

“Wanting to claim first place…”

At this moment, Zhang Yu’s resolve seemed to waver slightly.

“Can I really take first place?”

“To defeat monsters like Tao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing… to take first place?”

Meanwhile, with Kuang Tianqing’s words, receiving assistance from eight Divine Monarchs, her aura alone seemed to dominate the scene, unmatched.

As her gaze swept over the place, students instinctively shied away, which made Kuang Tianqing’s smile grow.

But just then, a red Sword Qi suddenly rose skyward, cutting straight towards Kuang Tianqing amidst shocked, surprised, and puzzled gazes.

With a casual swipe, as if swatting a fly, the Sword Qi shattered, and Kuang Tianqing looked playfully at the person who unleashed it, saying: “Oh? I didn’t expect aside from Tao Qiankun, there’s someone who can count as a person among you immortal trash.”

Speaking simultaneously, Kuang Tianqing’s eyes already held information on the opponent’s name, school, grades, including details about the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao and Seven Emotions Divine Monarch.

Kuang Tianqing said casually: “Bai Zhenzhen from Sky Sword University.”

Under the crowd’s gaze, Bai Zhenzhen stared back without flinching, seemingly with scarlet Sword Qi flowing in her eyes.

“Such a pile of nonsense, I can’t help but want to slash you.”

Bai Zhenzhen said coldly: “Those Divinity Transformations in your schools, tutoring for fees or cultivating for cash, which of them is not in transition mode? Which disciple hasn’t practiced with them?”

“Isn’t just spending money to make Divinity Transformations work? To those unaware, it seems the Divinity Transformations are paying you, letting you fiercely teach them.”

Beside her, Wen Wuya felt a shock, helplessly sighing: “Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is too reckless.”

In the distance, Zhang Yu also watched this scene. In his mind, the image of a girl from high school days fighting against the oppression of the wealthy in the city, striving against fate, and aiming to enter the top ten universities appeared.

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen at this moment, the corners of Zhang Yu’s mouth unconsciously formed a slight smile, and he thought to himself: “Azhen… this time, let us fight alongside each other against these rich people.”

As Bai Zhenzhen spoke, the oppressive aura of Kuang Tianqing’s presence seemed to dissipate significantly, reviving the spirit of many students present. They no longer retreated and began to look courageously at Kuang Tianqing.

Kuang Tianqing was slightly taken aback by the words. In the next moment, as his mana fluctuated within his body, changes occurred in the Spirit Realm around them. Many students present felt as if their Magic Treasures and Magic Remains were losing control.

“Bai Zhenzhen…” Kuang Tianqing laughed, “Your strength isn’t the greatest, but your courage is admirable. I will remember you.”

“If you come to find me tonight, I am willing to cultivate with you for free once.”

“I’m greatly interested in the taste of the inheritor of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao.”

In the next moment, Kuang Tianqing quickly swiped his fingertip through the air, suddenly activating a talisman.

Friendship Talisman!

As the talisman activated, Kuang Tianqing forcibly became friends with everyone present.

With a charming laugh, Kuang Tianqing glanced at the others and said, “And as for you trash on the Immortal Path, if you can meet my requirements, I wouldn’t mind giving you some guidance.”

Saying that, Kuang Tianqing lazily ignored everyone and turned to leave the scene.

As Kuang Tianqing left, the crowd gradually dispersed, each heading to arrange their accommodations.

Ye Xingli sent Zhang Yu a message: All the teams from different schools have been assigned to different rest areas. Come with us.

Just then, a voice stopped Zhang Yu.

“Yu Zi!”

Zhang Yu turned around to see Bai Zhenzhen smiling as she approached. Wen Wuya followed beside her, curiously gazing at him.

However, when Bai Zhenzhen was still more than ten meters away from Zhang Yu, she stopped.

Around her, the crimson Sword Qi surged back and forth, reflecting Bai Zhenzhen’s turbulent thoughts, which were difficult to fully control.

“Yu Zi.” Bai Zhenzhen smiled helplessly, “I can’t get any closer to you; if I get closer, I’m afraid…”

With a step forward, Zhang Yu remained silent, simply walking toward Bai Zhenzhen.

Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t help but step back, “No, Yu Zi. The current me…”

“It’s okay.” Around Zhang Yu, golden Protective Gang Qi appeared.

The Formless Cloud Gang mixed with the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, further enhanced by multiple Cultivation Techniques, elevated the defense to its utmost limit.

As Zhang Yu approached, the Sword Qi around Bai Zhenzhen grew even fiercer, continually slashing toward Zhang Yu like tidal waves.

The surging tide of Sword Qi grew more intense, just like the fervent emotions in a girl’s heart, tightly embracing Zhang Yu.

Amidst the tinkling sounds, Zhang Yu steadily reached Bai Zhenzhen’s front, smiling as he said, “Azhen, we’ve finally entered the top ten together.”

Bai Zhenzhen nodded and said, “Yu Zi, I knew you’d catch up.”

Zhang Yu sensed the consumption of the Protective Gang Qi and Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill, thinking to himself: “If I have to continuously resist this level of Sword Qi, the consumption of spirit coins is significant.”

“If it escalates further and provokes even fiercer Sword Qi, I might have to use military-level power to resist, which would consume even more spirit coins.”

“I must be wealthier… I must be wealthier, to stay close to Azhen, to be with Azhen always.”

As Zhang Yu calculated the current cost of getting closer to Bai Zhenzhen in his mind.

On the other side, Wen Wuya watched as the torrent of Sword Qi completely engulfed the two figures, only barely glimpsing the Protective Gang Qi around Zhang Yu weakly flickering like a thin golden flame amidst the fierce crimson Sword Qi.

Wen Wuya thought to himself: “Extreme Emotion Sword Dao… truly a path of deviancy.”

“Who can stand the constant Sword Qi bombardment?”

“Talking like this in such a manner, if it were like this, like that, and further like that… what kind of scene would it be?”

Meanwhile, the commotion here quickly drew others’ attention.

A map embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars abruptly unfolded in the sky, and various environmental data such as airflow, temperature, humidity, spiritual mechanism, and gravity began to change dramatically.

“Bai Zhenzhen, what are you doing?” Ye Xingli shouted, “Stop right now?!

Following Ye Xingli’s action, other students from Wanfa University like Yan Qianji and Jiutian Liu hurriedly arrived on the scene.

Wen Wuya immediately had the students of Sky Sword University block them and said, “Rest assured, everyone, they’re not fighting…”

Tao Qiankun slightly frowned. He had a good impression of Zhang Yu, and how could he stand by as someone from Sky Sword University attacked their prideful student so crazily?

“Who dares to hurt the pride of Wanfa University?!”

Ignoring Wen Wuya’s explanation, Tao Qiankun struck through the air with his palm, chaos-colored gas streams appearing from the void, forming an invisible barrier that completely isolated Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Simultaneously, the Vacuum Tribulation Transformation Map unfolded beneath Zhang Yu, swiftly protecting him as he retreated to Ye Xingli’s location.
