Chapter 107 Banana Fairy

A green light flashed as an adorable palm-sized, green-dressed girl appeared in front of Zhou Wen. She sat on a jadeite-like banana leaf floating in mid-air like a boat swaying above the lake under the moonlight.

Why are all Mythical Companion Beasts so small in size? Zhou Wen extended his hand and beckoned to Banana Fairy. The girl, along with the banana leaf, flew over and landed in Zhou Wen's hand, turning into a petite green fan.

The fan was only the size of Zhou Wen's palm and the leaf was crystalline-like jadeite. Its design was also extremely exquisite and beautiful, but it was a little too small.

It's so tiny. Isn't it a joke to use it as a weapon? Zhou Wen looked around and felt that using the tiny fan as a weapon wasn't suitable at all. Furthermore, he had never learned how to fight with a fan.

However, he soon realized that Banana Fairy and other Companion Beasts were somewhat different. Typical Companion Beasts couldn't use their talent skills when they were in their companion form, but a Banana Fairy actually could.

Zhou Wen held the tiny fan and flapped at a sandbag meant for training. Immediately, an invisible gust of wind blew over, shaking the sandbag left and right.

Is that all? Zhou Wen was somewhat disappointed. Although the winds were strong, they were not considered fantastic. They didn't seem to have much destructive force.

Zhou Wen reached out to press down on the swaying sandbag and was slightly taken aback. When his fingers touched the sandbag, he realized that it was covered in a layer of frost. The spot his fingers had touched was ice-cold.

Grand Yin Wind has wintry effects, but such coldness isn't enough to kill an opponent, right? With this in mind, Zhou Wen suddenly thought of something. Grand Yin Wind is a wintry wind, so will it be able to repress the Fire God Platform's firebirds? If so, wouldn't I be able to reach its peak?

Zhou Wen didn't have much hope regarding his random thought. After all, the Banana Fairy was only at the Mortal stage. Even if she advanced to the Mythical stage in the future, her standards now weren't comparable to top Legendary Companion Beasts.

As for the firebirds, each of them had strength at the Legendary stage.

Despite having such thoughts, Zhou Wen still launched the Ancient Imperial City dungeon on the mysterious phone. He planned on testing out his theory by heading to the Fire God Platform. If the Grand Yin Wind could really suppress the firebirds, he wouldn't do it as all he needed to do was nurture her to the Legendary stage. By then, scaling Fire God Platform wouldn't be a difficult task.

Zhou Wen had been grinding at Ancient Imperial City countless times. He had once again arrived in front of Fire God Platform and ridden the Silver-Winged Flying Ant up the stairs. Soon, a firebird flew down from the Fire God Platform.

Seeing a firebird fly down, the blood-colored avatar clenched the banana fan tightly, aimed it at the incoming firebird, and produced Grand Yin Wind.

A gust of cold wind blew at the firebird, making it look like a fire plume that fell into the water. It instantly extinguished, leaving no trace behind.

Zhou Wen stared with his mouth agape. He couldn't help but hug his phone and give it two kisses. What a treasure. The Grand Yin Wind is so effective against firebirds. I have a chance of scaling the Fire God Platform.

Another two firebirds flew down from the Fire God Platform. Zhou Wen ordered the blood-colored avatar to flap the fan, again and again, using the same Grand Yin Wind skill.

However, before the Grand Yin Wind appeared, the game system notified: 'Insufficient Primordial Energy to release Grand Yin Wind.'

Holy sh*t, does Banana Fairy's Primordial Energy only have enough for one use of Grand Yin Wind? Zhou Wen hurriedly controlled the blood-colored avatar to rush down Fire God Platform. Without the Grand Yin Wind, there was no way he could rush up using the blood-colored avatar's capabilities alone.

After finding a safe spot, Zhou Wen began researching the Banana Fairy and Grand Yin Wind skill. Indeed, the former's Primordial Energy had been expended, leaving nothing behind.

After grinding a round of Skeleton Soldiers and having their Primordial Energy Crystals drop, Zhou Wen filled up the Banana Fairy's Primordial Energy and got her to use Grand Yin Wind once. Indeed, her eleven points of Primordial Energy were depleted immediately.

Zhou Wen made the Banana Fairy turn into a fan, attempting to infuse his Primordial Energy into it to see if he could use the Grand Yin Wind.

He was able to use it, but his 11 points of Primordial Energy were instantly drained, leaving not an iota behind.

With my Primordial Energy, I can only use the Grand Yin Wind twice in a short period of time. Can I rush up the Fire God Platform only relying on two uses of Grand Yin Wind? Zhou Wen frowned in thought.

The Grand Yin Wind is an area-of-effect Primordial Energy Skill. If I can lure the firebirds into a certain range, it's not impossible to get rid of a large number of firebirds at once. If used properly, I might be able to rush to the top with just two uses. Zhou Wen inwardly made plans.

With the hope of ascending Fire God Platform, Zhou Wen didn't hesitate to try it. With the help of the Silver-Winged Flying Ant's Speed and flight and Zhou Wen's Dragon Gate Fairy Skill, the blood-colored avatar charged all the way up while consciously luring the firebirds in a particular direction.

This was because Banana Fairy was only at the Mortal stage, greatly limiting the range of the Grand Yin Wind. To eliminate the firebirds as best as possible, he had to try his best to bunch them in a certain spot.

More than ten firebirds were led to a spot by Zhou Wen. Almost reaching his limit, Zhou Wen no longer hesitated. He ordered the blood-colored avatar to hold the banana fan and gently fan the firebirds.

The firebirds were instantly extinguished by the Grand Yin Wind. Only two firebirds that were not within the Grand Yin Wind's range, managed to survive.

Zhou Wen was delighted as he controlled the blood-colored avatar to continue charging up Fire God Platform.

With more than half the distance traversed, a firebird horde erupted from Fire God Platform, blotting out the sky as they charged down like a fiery cloud.

The blood-colored avatar once again activated its Grand Yin Wind skill and fanned the fiery cloud. Immediately, a large hole was blown through the cloud with the Grand Yin Wind. An unknown number of firebirds were blown to nothingness.

Using this opportunity, the Silver-Winged Flying Ant spread its four wings and passed through the hole and continued charging up. The firebird horde behind it swept back and closed the hole, chasing after the Silver-Winged Flying Ant.

The Silver-Winged Flying Ant wasn't able to fly at a high altitude in one fell swoop. When it reached its apex, the blood-colored avatar jumped on its back and leaped up in the sky like a hawk hovering above Fire God Platform with the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill.

This time, Zhou Wen finally saw the complete Fire God Platform. Apart from a stone monument with the Ancient Imperial Sutra, there was a stone furnace in front of it. The flames in the furnace flickered as the firebirds flew out of it.

At that moment, a large flock of firebirds shot out from the furnace. Zhou Wen ignored them as his gaze landed on the Ancient Imperial Sutra's stone monument, trying to memorize a few words.

After memorizing about eight words, the flock of firebird had surrounded him and the game screen quickly went black.

With seven or eight words each time, I wonder how many times it will take for me to memorize the complete Ancient Imperial Sutra. Zhou Wen dripped his blood and revived himself as he entered the game once again.

Chapter 108 Xiyuan Crystal shop

Wang Fei had been in a bad mood recently. Based on her plan, Zhou Wen should have been motivated to diligently cultivate after staring at the Unwinding Monument.

However, although it was true that Zhou Wen was motivated, it was towards gaming and not cultivation.

You clearly have such great talent. Why do you want to be a loser that is obsessed with gaming? Wang Fei was completely perplexed by Zhou Wen's thoughts.

From the looks of it, relying on external forces won't do. I have to give him some stimulation. Wang Fei thought about how to inspire Zhou Wen and make him get back on his feet again.

However, after much thought, she was momentarily unable to think of a good solution. Wang Fei knew that one couldn't rush or force education. To change a student's mindset would require a suitable opportunity.

Hence, she planned on observing for a period of time and waiting until Sunset College's first comprehensive test before making any plans.

There was a single comprehensive examination that every student had to take, regardless of seniority, one month after school began. All the students in each class and grade would have to take part in the exam. The test was uniform and it determined a student's ranking in school.

Wang Fei felt that Zhou Wen might be inspired if he were to see the true strength of the college's top students.

Zhou Wen's life was ordinary and fulfilling. He crazily grinded daily at dungeons before committing suicide at Fire God Platform to memorize a few words of the Ancient Imperial Sutra.

By now, Zhou Wen hated its length. Despite the numerous times he went up, he had only memorized half of the sutra. It was unknown when he would finish it.

The antelope took up residence in Zhou Wen's dorm, eating and drinking for free, showing no signs of leaving.

Zhou Wen could have just eaten anything without especially heading to the cafeteria, but after this fellow came, it required fresh vegetables daily, forcing him to have no choice but to head to the cafeteria to think of a solution.

Zhou Wen wanted to ignore it, but as long as the fellow didn't eat anything, it would stay by Zhou Wen's side. It didn't do anything out of line except circle around Zhou Wen, nudging him with its head, giving him no peace. It was even more impossible to play games, so this forced him to prepare food for it.

Zhou Wen originally imagined that his life would continue like this, but Ah Sheng's arrival had shattered his peaceful life.

"Young Master Wen, Madam has asked me to take you over there." Ah Sheng was always so humble and polite. Even a person with a fiery temper would not flare up at him.

"Is there a reason why Sis Lan is looking for me?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown. If there wasn't anything important, he'd rather not visit the An family again.

"Madam wanted me to tell you that she's waiting for you at the shop in the city district. She has something private that needs your help," Ah Sheng said.

"Alright." Zhou Wen nodded slightly. Since he wasn't going to the An family and he didn't mind Ouyang Lan, he didn't find making the trip too aversive.

Ah Sheng drove Zhou Wen out of Sunset College. Usually, after school started, students couldn't leave unless it was a holiday. However, people that Ah Sheng wanted to pick up were clearly not on this list.

After the soldier guarding the door saw the pass Ah Sheng took out, he directly let them through.

Ah Sheng didn't lie—they really didn't head for the An family home. Zhou Wen originally imagined that Ouyang Lan would meet him at a restaurant or a cafe, or perhaps a clothing or jewelry shop.

However, when the car stopped, Zhou Wen realized that they had come to a dimensional crystal shop named "Xiyuan."

He found the name of the dimensional crystal shop a little familiar. After some thought, he recalled that in the delivery package the former principal had sent him, the owner of the name card was the owner of the Xiyuan crystal shop, Qin Xiyuan.

As there hadn't been any other related incidents since he had received the delivery, Zhou Wen ignored the name card. He only recalled the name card now when he saw the signboard of the Xiyuan dimensional crystal shop.

I wonder if that string of numbers was casually written on Qin Xiyuan's name card or if it has anything to do with Qin Xiyuan. Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Wen's mind.

It was impossible for him to show the name card to Qin Xiyuan. Without figuring out what the number on the card meant, Zhou Wen had no intention of letting anyone see it.

"Little Wen, come over quickly." After the car came to a stop, Ouyang Lan, who was dressed in sports attire, stood on the steps of the shop and beckoned to Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen alighted and approached Ouyang Lan. He politely asked, "Sis Lan, how may I help you?"

Ouyang Lan smiled and said, "It's almost Little Jing's birthday and I want to give her a Companion Beast as a gift. I want you to give me some advice."

"Sis Lan, you must be joking. Your understanding of Companion Beasts is definitely greater than mine," Zhou Wen said.

Ouyang Lan thought nothing of it. She hooked her arm around Zhou Wen and walked into the shop. "This is a birthday gift, not a piece of equipment used to kill enemies on a battlefield. There's no need for pragmatism, just aesthetics. To let my Little Jing love it at a glance, I believe young people like you will do a better job than me. So give me some suggestions."

Zhou Wen never guessed Ouyang Lan's important matter would be this, but since he was already here, he couldn't just turn around and leave. Besides, Zhou Wen wanted to see what kind of place the Xiyuan crystal shop was.

The staff seemed to know Ouyang Lan and the manager came over personally to greet her.

"Don't mind us. We are just taking a look," Ouyang Lan said with a smile.

The manager and salesperson knew better and retreated to the side. Only Ah Sheng maintained a distance behind Ouyang Lan and Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen was rather puzzled that they were the only customers in such a huge store. With such terrible sales, it was a miracle how the store managed to continue operating.

As though reading Zhou Wen's mind, Ouyang Lan said, "Although Xiyuan's store is not the biggest in Luoyang, it is the store with the most excellent products. It often has trinkets that give one a pleasant surprise. My father and the boss here were childhood friends. He often brought me here when I was young. Before I advanced to the Epic stage, many of my Companion Beasts were bought here. Many of them were also given by Uncle Qin. Back then, the Xiyuan shop wasn't that big. Every time Father brought me here, Uncle Qin would close the shop by hanging the "on a break" sign before taking my father around to see his latest collection."

With that said, Zhou Wen roughly understood what Ouyang Lan was getting at. It wasn't because the business here was bad, but that Ouyang Lan's arrival made the Xiyuan shop temporarily closed for business.

"However, since Father left Luoyang, I haven't been here in a long while." As Ouyang Lan spoke, she walked to a row of lockers and entered a string of codes. She opened one of the lockers and took out a bunch of keys.

Zhou Wen didn't peep at the codes Ouyang Lan had input, but due to Truth Listener on his ear, his hearing was much better than before. When he heard Ouyang Lan enter the code, he knew how many numbers she had entered.

A ten-digit code? Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback as he subconsciously looked at the locker. He thought, Could the string of numbers on the name card be a storage code here?

Chapter 109 Choosing a Companion Egg

Zhou Wen looked around and found two rows of lockers nearby. There were at least forty to fifty of them.

Ignoring the fact that he didn't know if the ten numbers on the name card were a locker's code, even if they were, he had no idea which locker the code belonged to.

Ouyang Lan held the bunch of keys and said, "In the past, Uncle Qin would always leave the spare key in this locker. If my father came when he wasn't around, he could use the key to access the Companion Beasts and Companion Eggs. I never expected Uncle Qin to keep this habit despite all these years. Even the code is the same."

"Did the former principal use a particular locker in the past?" Zhou Wen asked casually.

"Of course, the lockers here are all old-fashioned safe deposit boxes. They aren't like the public lockers that are popular these days. As long as a code is set, apart from the setter, even Uncle Qin can't open them. Therefore, the lockers here cannot be used by anyone. Those who can use them are typically old customers or Uncle Qin's friends."

As Ouyang Lan spoke, she walked to a locker numbered 42. She said with great nostalgia, "This locker is the one my father uses every time he comes."

Zhou Wen's gaze immediately landed on the locker as he thought to himself, Could that string of numbers be Locker No. 42's code?

While Zhou Wen was deep in thought, Ouyang Lan had already reached out her fingers and tapped on the code pad a few times. Then, Locker No. 42 opened.

Ouyang Lan had only pressed six digits. Only then did Zhou Wen realize that the codes weren't necessarily ten digits. It was likely that everyone had their own habits.

There were only a few miscellaneous items inside Locker No. 42, such as white gloves and masks.

Ouyang Lan took out a pair of gloves and a mask and handed it to Zhou Wen. "Put it on. Although most Companion Eggs and Companion Beasts aren't afraid of contamination, there are some exceptions. This is my father's habit."

Zhou Wen silently took the gloves and mask and put them on. Ouyang Lan also wore one set herself before taking Zhou Wen in the elevator and going down to basement one.

"The three levels above are all kinds of dimensional crystals and materials. Basement one is filled with Companion Beasts and Companion Eggs, with most of them at the Legendary stage." As Ouyang Lan spoke, the two of them reached basement one.

Zhou Wen immediately saw many glass cages in the hall of basement one. There were all sorts of Companion Beasts some he had heard of and others he had never heard of.

"These Companion Beasts were placed here by their owners. It's not easy to buy them. This is because their owners have to pay a huge price to transfer them so the transfer cost is much higher than buying a Companion Egg at the same level." Ouyang Lan was very knowledgeable as she introduced all the Companion Beasts they could see, allowing Zhou Wen to broaden his horizons.

When they came to the Companion Egg area, the numbers clearly increased. Rows of Companion Eggs were placed behind tempered glass. The colors, sizes, and shapes were all different, making them look like dazzling gems.

Besides each Companion Egg was a sign. On it was some information on the Companion Egg. There were even portraits of the beast after the egg hatched.

"Little Wen, what do you think of this Butterfly Fairy Companion Egg… This Ice Moon Fox seems pretty good too…" Ouyang Lan seemed to be enjoying it as she kept asking for Zhou Wen's opinion.

"As long as it's from you, I believe An Jing will be happy receiving it," Zhou Wen said.

"That may be right, but I still wish to give her something that she will truly like. You are all young people, so your aesthetic standards are similar. Give me more opinions," Ouyang Lan said while choosing the Companion Eggs.

Zhou Wen didn't say anything else as he thought to himself, As a man, my aesthetic sense is naturally different from women. If I were to give my opinions, the Companion Egg chosen will probably not be something An Jing will like.

However, since Ouyang Lan kept asking for his opinion, Zhou Wen couldn't just keep silent. After some hesitation, he asked, "Sis Lan, can I take pictures of the Companion Eggs here?"

"Not for others, but it's no problem for you. Feel free to take pictures. Later, I'll take you downstairs. There are some Epic Companion Beasts there which you can take pictures of. If you meet them in dimensional zones in the future, you will be able to recognize them." Ouyang Lan even pointed out some relatively important Companion Beasts and got Zhou Wen to take more pictures.

Zhou Wen took out his mysterious phone and pretended to take photos. After taking pictures of the Companion Eggs, he immediately saw their information and data.

He wasn't afraid of being recorded by the surveillance cameras because he had already tried many times using modern tools like cell phones or cameras to capture pictures of the mysterious phone's screen to no avail. All that was snapped was a blur that prevented anything from being discerned.

He really couldn't give any suggestions regarding beauty, but with the feature of the mysterious phone, he could give Ouyang Lan some suggestions of the pros and cons of the Companion Egg's stats.

"No matter how I look at it, I still find the Butterfly Fairy and the Ice Moon Fox most suited for my Little Jing. Little Wen, what do you think?" Ouyang Lan finally decided on the Butterfly Fairy and Ice Moon Fox, but she was in a dilemma with which to choose from.

"You can buy both," Zhou Wen said.

With Ouyang Lan's wealth, buying two Legendary Companion Eggs was just a drop in the bucket. There was no need to fret over it.

However, Zhou Wen had used his mysterious phone to look at the two Companion Egg. They had very average stats.

Ouyang Lan shook her head and said, "Giving one gift reveals one's sincerity. Giving two would only backfire. It will make Xiaojing think I'm just patronizing her."

Zhou Wen felt a little envious of An Jing. He had never had a mother. His father wasn't a person who was good at taking care of children, so no one had celebrated his birthday for him, let alone give him birthday presents.

Ouyang Lan's thoughtfulness towards An Jing made Zhou Wen suddenly realize that if his mother hadn't died from a miscarriage, she would probably have loved him just like Ouyang Lan loved An Jing.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Zhou Wen was already used to living alone. He might end up feeling uncomfortable if he really had a mother like Ouyang Lan.

"Little Wen, what's your take? Don't be bothered by my choice. If it were you, which Companion Egg would you want?" Ouyang Lan asked again.

Zhou Wen pointed at a pitch-black egg that was about the size of a pigeon's egg as he said, "If it were me, I would probably want that Venomous Caterpillar Companion Egg,"

"For real?" Ouyang Lan looked at Zhou Wen in astonishment.

Venomous Caterpillars were not powerful Companion Beasts. Although they were at the Legendary stage, their various stats were lacking. The talent skill they had—Vile Venom —was also extremely useless.

Such venom would only show its effects on places that the Venomous Caterpillar crawled over. However, its crawling speed was relatively slow. Even certain Mortal creatures were faster than its crawling, much less Legendary creatures.

Chapter 110 Chained Companion Beast

Key to everything was that Venomous Caterpillars were really ugly. Furthermore, they even emitted a foul smell when summoned. Typical girls didn't like such Companion Beasts.

"Yes, very," Zhou Wen said with a nod.

He had already used his mysterious phone to look at most of the Companion Eggs here. That Venomous Caterpillar's stats were indeed one of the best Legendary Companion Eggs he had ever seen.

Other than having nearly full stats, it also had a rare three skills. One of them was basically the godliest skill of a Venomous Caterpillar.

Butterfly Transformation was a skill that could transform Venomous Caterpillar into a venomous butterfly, allowing it to gain powerful flying abilities. Its originally weak Speed then became its strongest aspect.

The Vile Venom skill also underwent some changes after the Venomous Caterpillar became a Venomous Butterfly. Just touching the Venomous Butterfly's venomous powder was enough to poison someone.

This rare Venomous Caterpillar with three skills was considered one of the best excellent-grade Legendaries. If Zhou Wen had the money, he would probably be tempted to buy it.

Of course, it was just a passing thought of his. It was useless even if he bought it. Firstly, it was difficult for him to incubate a Legendary Companion Egg. Secondly, his Mutated Lotus Flower Ant and Silver-Winged Flying Ant were not weaker than Venomous Caterpillar and were perhaps a little stronger. There was no need for him to waste time and energy on it.

Even if he really bought it, he could only use it as food for his Companion Beasts or for fusion.

"Your taste is really unique…" Ouyang Lan seemed to think of something as she narrowed her eyes and mumbled to herself, "Perhaps this is a good choice. I'm just unsure if Little Jing can recognize the Companion Eggs of a Venomous Caterpillar. If not… I can tell her that this is a Black Jade Butterfly's Companion Egg… And when she incubates it… Haha…"

While Zhou Wen was flabbergasted, Ouyang Lan had already used her key to open the glass case and taken out the Venomous Caterpillar Companion Egg

Ouyang Lan called Ah Sheng over and said, "Ah Sheng, take this Companion Egg and pay for it. When the invoice is issued, get them to write it as Black Jade Butterfly. The packaging needs to be done nicely. Why don't you do it yourself."

Ah Sheng seemed to be accustomed to Ouyang Lan's random and unconstrained ideas. He didn't wear a look of surprise as he took the Companion Egg and left.

"Little Wen, let's head down and take a look. There are quite a number of interesting Companion Beasts there. They aren't commonly seen." Ouyang Lan led Zhou Wen downwards.

After reaching basement three, they saw all kinds of independent special rooms. Each room had a Companion Beast. Although no one was guarding them, there was a powerful security system; every room needed a different key to open it.

Any entry to take a look at the Companion Beasts here actually required Qin Xiyuan to personally escort them. However, Ouyang Lan had his key, allowing her to directly open the room and broaden Zhou Wen's horizons.

"Most of the Companion Beasts here were left behind by veterans. Companion Beasts are their partners and comrades, so they do not wish for Companion Beasts who have a limitless lifespan to die with them. Therefore, many veterans choose to transfer their Companion Beasts over here before their passing. Although there are some that do it because of financial reasons, it can't be denied that the feelings soldiers have for their Companion Beasts far exceed those of ordinary people," Ouyang Lan said.

Zhou Wen had always felt respect for soldiers. During the early days of the dimensional storms, countless soldiers used their lives to save ordinary people and explore dimensional zones.

At that time, the number of sacrificed soldiers were so many that it decreased the global military forces by a third.

"I wonder if that fellow is still around…" Ouyang Lan said as she walked forward and stopped in front of a door.

After searching the bunch of keys for a while, Ouyang Lan finally found a key and opened the heavy metal door that looked like a vault.

Zhou Wen looked into the room and was stunned when the scene before him turned clear.

This room also had a Companion Beast, but it was different from other Companion Beastsit had shackles on its body.

As the Companion Beasts were placed here by their owners, they did not need to worry too much about them hurting others. Nor was there any need to worry about them escaping.

The reason they were locked in rooms was that they were afraid that people would forcefully take them away or harm them. This also prevented others from pulling any tricks due to ulterior motives.

However, the Companion Beast in the room had shackles and cuffs on all limbs. Chains were bound around its body and behind the chains was a metal slab the size of a millstone.

Ouyang Lan walked into the room and looked at the Companion Beast as she said, "When I was young, my father would visit him whenever he came to Uncle Qin's place. It's been so many years, yet he's still here."

Zhou Wen also sized up the Companion Beast. He looked very much like a human, but his muscles were extremely thin as though he was just skin and bones. Even his ribs could be seen clearly.

However, his body was dry but not withered. His skin emitted a silver metallic luster. On the skin of his upper body, there were many strange silver tattoos.

His long, silver hair cascaded down and covered his face and parts of his body. It was hard to see what he really looked like sitting there. It was even difficult to tell his gender.

"Sis Lan, what Companion Beast is this?" Zhou Wen had seen a few humanoid Companion Beasts in his textbooks, but they had traits that were different from humans. But, Zhou Wen didn't notice anything obviously different on the Companion Beast in front of him.

"I don't know. I asked my father when I was young, but he didn't answer me or tell me about the Companion Beast. However, he would come here every time he came to visit Uncle Qin." Ouyang Lan clearly had some interest in this Companion Beast. She sighed and continued, "I later asked Uncle Qin, but he said that he has no idea what Companion Beast it is. It was put here by my father, and he hasn't told Uncle Qin anything about it."

Zhou Wen was somewhat curious as he sized up the Companion Beast. Suddenly, he saw a nine-key pad on the metal piece that chained it up. It looked very similar to a keypad for passcodes.

Don't tell me the numbers the former principal sent me are for this? Zhou Wen had a thought.

However, upon further thought, he felt that something was amiss. The former principal had his daughter and granddaughter, and Qin Xiyuan was his close friend. There was no reason for him to send the passcode to Zhou Wen.

Furthermore, if Ouyang Lan hadn't brought Zhou Wen here, he wouldn't have had the chance to see the strange Companion Beast. It was useless for the former principal to send the passcode to him.

Chapter 111 Entering the Lotus Flower Cave Again

What perplexed Zhou Wen the most was why the former principal had sent him such a name card. Or perhaps it was not sent from the former principal at all.

But if it wasn't from the former principal, who could have sent it to him?

Zhou Wen's mind was filled with questions, but an answer eluded him. He wanted to try the number on the name card to see if it could open the Companion Beast's chains, but he didn't dare to do so because of the unknown consequences.

It would be fine if he couldn't open it, but if he did, he couldn't imagine what might happen.

As Zhou Wen was pondering over it, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Cold sweat instantly oozed out of his back as though he had been targeted by a ferocious ghost.

His gaze froze as he looked at the chained Companion Beast. Due to the silver hair covering the Companion Beast's face, Zhou Wen couldn't see his eyes or facial features. However, he had a nagging feeling that a pair of eyes were staring at him from behind the waterfall-like silver hair.

Unsure if it was an illusion, Zhou Wen even felt that the face behind the silver hair was smiling strangely at him.

"It's almost time. Let's get something to eat before I get Ah Sheng to take you back. We can't affect your studying." Ouyang Lan led Zhou Wen out of the room and locked the door.

Standing outside the door, Zhou Wen watched as the metal door slowly closed and slowly hid the Companion Beast's figure. However, Zhou Wen still felt that he was staring at him and smiling

Zhou Wen originally wanted to return to school immediately, but Ouyang Lan didn't want to hear anything of that. She had a meal with him before getting Ah Sheng to take him back to school.

During the meal, Zhou Wen asked about the former principal. Ouyang Lan shared plenty of information with him, allowing him to gain a new understanding of the constantly smiling former principal.

In the past, Zhou Wen felt that the former principal was kind and had taken good care of him, but he didn't care much about the administrative matters. Back when he was the principal of Guide High School, he didn't really deal with matters. Everything was left to the vice-principals while he spent his days planting flowers and taking care of his grass. He looked especially relaxed.

However, from Ouyang Lan's recount, Zhou Wen learned that the former principal was a very famous historian and had experienced the era of the dimensional storms.

The An family's previous generation and the old principal were sworn brothers and even closed their ties through marriage. However, life was harsh on Ouyang Lan's ex-husband and he died too early.

Although he learned quite a bit about the former principal, this wasn't of much help to him. The only information that helped him was when Ouyang Lan said that the former principal had indeed been invited to a dimensional zone in Zhuolu County.

As the magnetic interference was too overwhelming, it rendered electronic communications almost useless. It had been a long time since Ouyang Lan had received news from the former principal.

Although such things happened often in the past, Ouyang Lan was worried as there was nothing she could do.

After returning to his dorm, Zhou Wen saw the antelope still sleeping on the couch. This left him disappointed.

Lying in the bed, he took out his phone and continued grinding the dungeons. Like before, he first wiped out the various mini-bosses before committing suicide at Fire God Platform.

When he arrived at Tiger Cage Pass, Zhou Wen saw a word-engraved Demonized General appear. Delighted, he closed the distance and realized it was a Paper Demonized General.

Although the word-engraved Demonized General was powerful, Zhou Wen had the Astral Slash Blade that restrained it. Soon, he killed the Paper Demonized General and heard a chime—a dimensional crystal dropped.

Primordial Energy Skill Crystal! Zhou Wen was delighted when he saw the crystal's name.

He impatiently picked up the Primordial Energy Skill Crystal and the blood-colored avatar successfully absorbed it.

'Absorbed Paper Demonized General Crystal. Attained Astral Suction Palm.'

Zhou Wen had longed for the Paper Demonized General's Primordial Energy Skill and now with his wish answered, he couldn't help but use it immediately.

He reached out and sucked at a Demonized Soldier at Tiger Cage Pass. The Demonized Soldier's body was instantly sucked towards the blood-colored avatar's palm, unable to escape no matter how hard it struggled.

The blood-colored avatar waved its other palm and slashed down at the Demonized Soldier's head with Astral Slash Blade.

It's truly a godly skill! The importance Zhou Wen placed on the Astral Suction Palm was higher than the Astral Slash Blade.

Although Astral Slash Blade was powerful, it was only an offensive measure. Even without it, Zhou Wen still had other offensive means. However, this was the only Primordial Energy Skill he had that could force an enemy to change trajectories.

After studying it for a while, Zhou Wen gained a general understanding of the Astral Suction Palm. It was just like Astral Slash Blade, a Primordial Energy Skill that didn't have fixed Primordial Energy costs.

The further the enemy was or the greater the weight, the more Primordial Energy that Astral Suction Palm expended.

With the amount of Primordial Energy Zhou Wen had at present, he could easily absorb creatures like Demonized Soldiers from about two meters away. In turn, Legendary creatures like a Demonized General would be more difficult.

However, being unable to draw an enemy didn't mean it was useless. The suction force would still affect the Demonized General, causing its actions to deviate from its intentions.

A clash between experts lasted for an instant, so any deviation was fatal.

The more Zhou Wen studied Astral Suction Palm, the more satisfied he was with it. In the future, after he advanced to the Legendary stage, his Primordial Energy upper limits would increase; thus, raising the might of his Astral Suction Palm. It would be an ever-green Primordial Energy Skill.

Among the three word-engraved Demonized Generals, only the Fist Demonized General hasn't been killed. I wonder if the Astral Suction Palm palm can withstand the Fist Demonized General's skills. Zhou Wen couldn't be sure.

Now that Zhou Wen had the Silver-Winged Flying Ant and the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant, he was still unable to defeat the Fist Demonized General.

It was not that the Fist Demonized General was much more powerful than Paper and Blade Demonized Generals, but that its main skill was just too ridiculous. When used, it seemed to gain an invincible body that the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant and Silver-Winged Flying Ant's Primordial Energy Skills were unable to injure or kill.

Now, all Zhou Wen could do was place his hopes on Astral Suction Palm. Since Astral Slash Blade countered Astral Suction Palm, it was possible that Astral Suction Palm countered the Fist Demonized General's skill.

However, encountering a Fist Demonized General solely depended on luck. Zhou Wen constantly grinded the dungeon before heading to the Fire God Platform to read the Ancient Imperial Sutra. This continued as the days passed.

"Zhou Wen, I'm ready. Come to Lotus Flower Cave with me again." Wang Lu, who he hadn't seen in days, shouted for Zhou Wen from the neighboring yard. Today was the deadline for her homework mission.

Zhou Wen had been paid, so he naturally had no reason to reject her. He had to accompany her to the Lotus Flower Cave.

"This is my last chance. Today, I will definitely break Huang Ji's record." Wang Lu was filled with confidence.

Zhou Wen declined to comment. All he did was film Wang Lu from behind with a camera. After they entered the Lotus Flower Cave, they searched for Fairy Monkeys in the stone cave.

After exploring several spots in the stone caves, they finally discovered a Fairy Monkey. However, before Wang Lu could make a move, the Fairy Monkey was killed by someone else.

Chapter 112 Swift Saber Heavenly King

It was a boy of Zhou Wen's age. He held a purple narrow saber in his hand, and his body flashed like a ghost. With a few clashes with the Fairy Monkey, he slew it.

The entire process took less than twenty seconds, and the speed at which it happened was terrifying

Zhou Wen sized up the boy in astonishment. He found it amazing that the boy's Speed was faster than a Fairy Monkey's. It was extremely rare among students.

His saber skills were even faster than his physical movement techniques. Fairy Monkey's Speed and movement techniques were top in class amongst Legendary creatures, but for it to fail to dodge a single saber strike implied how terrifyingly fast this saber was.

The boy wiped the blood from the saber and looked at Zhou Wen and Wang Lu. Soon, his gaze landed on Zhou Wen.

"Are you Zhou Wen, the one who killed the word-engraved Demonized General?" the boy stared at Zhou Wen and asked.

"I'm Zhou Wen. Who are you?" Zhou Wen asked.

"What a pity," the boy said without rhyme or reason before leaving with the saber.

Zhou Wen felt a little baffled, but he couldn't be bothered to think too much. With the camera, he prepared to continue forward.

Wang Lu, however, looked in the direction of the boy's departure and said, "I didn't expect Feng Qiuyan to actually come to Sunset College. Why didn't I see him among the special admissions students?"

e rec

"Do you still want to break the record?" Zhou Wen asked.

The boy from before had clearly broken Huang Ji's previous record. Furthermore, the time he took significantly broke the record at below twenty seconds. Wang Lu might be strong, but to slay a Fairy Monkey within twenty seconds was clearly impossible.

"What record? With that fellow around, no one can be faster than him." Wang Lu paused and explained, "That fellow is called Feng Qiuyan. You might not have heard of his name in a place like Luoyang, but where I come from, his fame is at the level of Luoyang's An Jing. They are all considered invincible, cream of the crop. Rumor has it that his Legendary Life Providence is Swift Saber Heavenly King. At the same stage, no one can be faster than his saber. You saw it too. Even the Fairy Monkey couldn't dodge his strike, it's obvious how fast his saber is. It's completely impossible to compete in speed records," Wang Lu said with a bitter smile.

"Swift Saber Heavenly King? Is this a Life Providence that augments his swift saber?" Zhou Wen asked out of curiosity.

"Probably. A Life Providence is a secret for everyone, so people wouldn't usually tell others. I only know that his Life Providence is known as the Swift Saber Heavenly King that significantly augments anything to do with sabers." After a pause, Wang Lu continued, "Do you know there's an organization that especially rates Life Providence? The Feng family has a senior that works at that organization. When evaluation of Feng Qiuyan's Swift Saber Heavenly King Life Providence was made, the rumored result was an S-grade talent."

"Isn't it said that the ratings of that organization aren't accurate?" Zhou Wen had also heard of the organization. However, it was only a grassroots organization and wasn't created by the League's officials. Therefore, its ratings were greatly limited.

"Indeed, it can't be confirmed as the Life Providence they evaluate is firstly based on how much it boosts one's combat ability. As a result, the combat-based Life Providence ratings are usually higher, but in fact, many Life Providence might not boost one's combat strength too significantly while still remaining very useful. However, to be rated as an S-grade means the Swift Saber Heavenly King Life Providence is undeniably powerful." Wang Lu didn't deliberately belittle that organization.

I wonder what my Life Providence will be in the future? Typically, a Life Providence is related to a person's physique and the Primordial Energy Art one cultivates. My physique isn't bad and the Primordial Energy Art I cultivate in isn't weak. I don't think it will be difficult to obtain a powerful Life Providence. I just have no idea what kind it will be. It's best if it's a combat-style Life Providence. Zhou Wen felt some anticipation for his Life Providence.

However, advancement with the Lost Immortal Sutra was much more difficult than the average Primordial Energy Art. Even the Primordial Energy Arts on the mysterious stone monuments weren't as difficult to cultivate as the Lost Immortal Sutra.

"With Feng Qiuyan around, there's no hope of breaking the record. I can only blame myself for my bad luck." Wang Lu was slightly depressed

Although she didn't really care about this record, to be doused with cold water after preparing for so long and being at the brink of success would leave anyone depressed.

"It's not difficult to break his record," Zhou Wen said after some thought.

"You have a solution?" Wang Lu's eyes lit up as she looked at Zhou Wen. She surprisingly didn't have any doubts over his words.

"There is a solution, but it's not part of my job," Zhou Wen said.

"Speak. What conditions do you have?" Wang Lu saw through Zhou Wen's thoughts and curled her lips.

"Money, how much can you pay me if I help you break the record?" Zhou Wen wasn't materialistic and didn't spend much money. However, to invest in Huang Ji's game required a huge sum of money.

Zhou Wen didn't have the time or means to earn money. All he could do was start with trivial matters and save up whatever he earned.

A rich person like Wang Lu, who could pay 150,000 bucks for a videographer, likely valued help to break a record at 150,000 bucks or more.

Wang Lu sized up Zhou Wen and asked, "Are you that short of money?"

"Yes, very." Zhou Wen nodded.

"What do you plan on doing with the money? How much do you need?" Wang Lu asked

again.

"I have no idea how much money I need. A senior from our school is making a mobile game. I wish to invest in him, but I don't know how much I need to invest. However, I believe plenty is needed." Zhou Wen didn't hide the fact that it was an investment in a game. He was planning to invest in Huang Ji's game to make others know of it. The more people who knew it, the better.

"You're really a gaming fanatic. In this era, there aren't many people who are addicted to games like you anymore." Wang Lu thought for a while before saying, "But the scale of making a game has quite a range, so the amount of money spent will be highly variable. If you only wish to make a simple game, a hundred to two hundred thousand bucks would be enough. I can give you that immediately, but if the game you wish to make is grander in scale, the money I give you will be a drop in the bucket. You might as well write up a proposal. If I think it's feasible, I can invest in both of you."

"We'll talk about investment in the future. It's best you give me the money for helping you break the record," Zhou Wen said as he extended his hand.

Wang Lu fiercely swatted away Zhou Wen's hand. "You can have the money, but first you have to break the record for me. How do I know if you can really help me break the record or not?"

Zhou Wen didn't say another word. He began searching for a Fairy Monkey in Lotus Flower Cave with Wang Lu. Breaking a record needed them to first find a Fairy Monkey.

Zhou Wen was rather confident about breaking Feng Qiuyan's record. He had been grinding Fairy Monkeys recently and had quite some experience killing them. It could be said that Zhou Wen was the person who understood Fairy Monkeys the most in Sunset College.

Chapter 113 Performance

Wang Lu was actually quite doubtful about Zhou Wen's ability to help her break the record. Although he had a pair of Legendary wings and powerful movement techniques, that level of movement and speed was definitely capable of dodging Feng Qiuyan's saber.

The saber speed which Swift Saber Heavenly King Life Providence brought about made Feng Qiuyan's strikes far exceed the speed of peers at his level. Furthermore, Zhou Wen hadn't advanced to the Legendary stage-he was one level lower than Feng Qiuyan.

Compared to someone who had the Life Providence of Swift Saber Heavenly King, even Wang Lu did not have the confidence to beat him in speed.

"How are you going to help me? Although the homework mission permits a four-person team to complete it, I do not plan on joining forces with others. If that's the case, defeating Feng Qiuyan would be meaningless," Wang Lu said to Zhou Wen as they walked.

"When you encounter a Fairy Monkey later, I'll first demonstrate it to you. All you need to do is remember my steps. With your strength, you will be able to kill Fairy Monkeys in less than twenty seconds." Having been in charge of filming Wang Lu's combat, he had a good idea of her strength. It was also why he dared to help Wang Lu break the record.

"You'll be demonstrating?" Wang Lu sized up Zhou Wen and asked.

"We have no choice. You only have one chance left, and I'm afraid you won't be able to grasp the crux by just verbally explaining it to you," Zhou Wen said honestly.

His method of slaying Fairy Monkeys was from the experience he had gained from killing countless whilst in-game. Every step had been calculated to extreme precision. He could not afford any mistakes if he wanted to kill one in the shortest time possible.

If Zhou Wen were to do it himself, it wouldn't be a problem even if he made a mistake. However, Wang Lu didn't have that much experience fighting Fairy Monkeys. She only had the theory from the college's information and videos.

In fact, the information provided by the school wasn't as logical or pragmatic as Zhou Wen's designed plans. After all, there were too few Fairy Monkeys and no one had the chance of killing many, so it was naturally impossible for them to have a deep understanding of them.

After traveling through several caves, they finally found a Fairy Monkey. Just as Zhou Wen was about to charge forward, Wang Lu suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly said, "By the way, after the Lotus Flower Cave is sealed by the college, students are not to hunt Fairy Monkeys without permission. Our class was given the homework mission, and we can only kill two. You aren't a student of our class, so you didn't receive the homework mission that allows you to kill a Fairy Monkey."

"I know, so I have no plans to kill it." Zhou Wen didn't stop as he charged at the Fairy Monkey.

This time, Wang Lu became the videographer. She aimed the camera at Zhou Wen, curious to see how he could kill the Fairy Monkey faster than the Feng Qiuyan.

Wang Lu was still a little apprehensive. Zhou Wen had Primordial Energy Skills that she definitely knew couldn't be identical to hers. If he used some special skill which she lacked, then even if Zhou Wen's method was much faster than Feng Qiuyan's, she would be unable to use his method.

However, Wang Lu quickly realized that her worries were completely unfounded. This was because Zhou Wen hadn't used any Primordial Energy Skill or Companion Beast. All he did was rush towards the Fairy Monkey.

If it were anyone else, Wang Lu would have believed that he had a death wish, but she knew Zhou Wen's strength and character quite well. It was impossible for him to do something so foolish.

She adjusted the camera to ensure that she could record Zhou Wen's every move, while her gaze never left him.

The Fairy Monkey bared its teeth as it charged down. Its pair of wings made it abnormally agile, swooping down like a bird of prey while its claws swiped at Zhou Wen's head with a sharp beam.

The Fairy Monkey was much faster than Zhou Wen, but he seemed to have expected it. He slightly tilted his body to dodge the claw beam as he clung close to the Fairy Monkey's left.

The Fairy Monkey's wings flapped as his body warped. Its claws once again thrust out at Zhou Wen's heart with a sharp claw beam.

This time, the Fairy Monkey was closer to Zhou Wen, and its claw beam was even faster and sharper. However, Zhou Wen's body moved slightly to the side again, dodging the attack in what seemed like an impossibility.

Wang Lu stood to the side and watched. Zhou Wen didn't use any Primordial Energy Skills, not even anything related to movement techniques. With his absolute Speed deficiency, he leisurely managed to dodge all the Fairy Monkey's mighty attacks.

Zhou Wen gave Wang Lu an odd feeling. It was as though he was the stronger party-not the Fairy Monkey who was at the Legendary stage.

Zhou Wen's every move was calm and composed, but he had the feeling of clairvoyance, emitting a pressure as though the Fairy Monkey was dancing in his palm.

It may have felt slow, but in fact, it all happened very quickly. In just ten seconds. Zhou Wen had nimbly moved to the Fairy Monkey's back and easily struck the back of its skull.

Pa!

It looked like it didn't use much strength, but the Fairy Monkey appeared to be struck by lightning as it fell from the sky. It fell to the ground and twitched, unable to get up immediately.

Wang Lu's eyes widened when she saw this. A Mortal-stage fellow had only relied on his Strength and Speed. Without the help of his Primordial Energy Skills and Companion Beasts, he had knocked out a Legendary-stage Fairy Monkey.

More importantly, slightly more than 10 seconds had passed, without even exceeding 11. Wang Lu was afraid that none of her classmates would believe her if she told them.

"How did you do it?" Wang Lu asked as she glared at Zhou Wen who was walking back.

"You can do the same if you observe and study more." Zhou Wen pointed at the Fairy Monkey on the ground who still couldn't get to its feet due to its stupor. "It's a little groggy from the strike. It will quickly regain consciousness, so let's leave now. Find a spot and watch my demonstration video a few times. Remember my positioning and the timing of my attacks. It probably wouldn't be difficult to squeeze it within 20 seconds. Also, the spot I struck should be precisely where you hit during your final strike. It will result in a death blow; otherwise, it will be a waste of time."

Wang Lu and Zhou Wen came to an empty stone cave before the former carefully watched Zhou Wen's video.

"How did you figure out such positioning and the Fairy Monkey's weakness?" Wang Lu found it inconceivable the more she looked at it. Even the college's strategies were not as simple and effective as Zhou Wen's.

"I carefully watched the videos I recorded for you the other day. I studied them for a long time before I could achieve such results. Selling it to you for 150,000 isn't expensive, right?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Not at all." Wang Lu nodded with affirmation.

Such experience could not be measured with money. If they were in a real battlefield, it could save one's life.

Wang Lu practiced Zhou Wen's positioning for more than half an hour before mastering the crux. Her talent in martial arts wasn't to be underestimated, allowing her to live up to being a special admissions student.

Then, Wang Lu found the Fairy Monkey again and killed it according to Zhou Wen's method. The process was rather relaxing. Although the positioning was a little rough, she obtained good results in 17 seconds. It was probably a little faster than Feng Qiuyan.

Although the record had been broken, Wang Lu wasn't happy. Others might not know, but she knew very well that Zhou Wen had a more ridiculous result. It was just that his results would not appear in the school's record.

Chapter 114 Gym Training

Inside an office, Qiao Siyuan stood respectfully in front of his desk with his head lowered, wearing a humble look.

"Have you found the thing I asked you to find?" A man sat behind his desk. As the only light in the office was the table lamp, the man's face couldn't be seen clearly. Only a blurry silhouette could be seen.

"Sir, apart from the An family, I've searched everywhere I can. I didn't find the thing you were talking about." Qiao Siyuan lowered his head and replied cautiously.

"Why didn't you go to the An family?" the man asked indifferently.

"We had sent people to infiltrate them, but Ouyang Lan keeps the An family tightly under wraps. The people we sent didn't have the chance of getting close to where Ouyang Lan and the rest live. They were only able to do miscellaneous chores in the yard." After a pause, Qiao Siyuan continued, "In the name of pursuing Jing Daoxian, I had tried using Liz to test the An family's attitude. An Tianzuo was very unyielding, and he didn't care about the Senator by maiming Liz's energy sea. It's not simple to enter the An family to search for it."

"If everything is that easily solved, what do I need you for?" the man coldly asked.

"Yes, sir. You're right. I will think of another solution." Qiao Siyuan bowed slightly before continuing, "Sir, I don't think Professor Ouyang left the thing at the An family home."

"Why do you say that?" The man sitting behind the light lit up a cigarette with an old lighter.

"According to my investigations, Professor Ouyang may be close friends with the An family, but he did not agree to Ouyang Lan's marriage into the An family. Because of this matter, they had a falling out. Since then, he hasn't entered the An family home and wasn't even present when An Tianzuo and An Jing were born."

Seeing no response from the man, Qiao Siyuan continued, "It's also because after that person's death in the An family that Professor Ouyang and Ouyang Lan's relationship improved. However, he's only visited the An family a few times and never stays there for more than an hour, much less stay overnight. With Professor Ouyang's relationship with the An family, I don't think he will leave something so important there."

"Then, where would Ouyang hide the thing?" the man flicked away some cigarette ash before asking

"Sir, do you think Professor Ouyang could have taken it with him?" Qiao Siyuan probed.

"Impossible. That thing can't enter dimensional zones or it will only spell trouble. Ouyang often needs to enter dimensional zones, so he won't be so stupid. He must have hidden it somewhere." The man paused before saying, "Regardless, you must find the thing at all costs. Do not dismiss the An family's residence. Who knows if their poor relationship was just an act Ouyang deliberately created."

"Yes, sir." Qiao Siyuan bowed.

"We don't have much time left. We need to retrieve it as soon as possible. Those ignorant fools outside think that time can be squandered, but they have no idea that the disaster is already hanging above their necks like a guillotine blade. It can fall at any time. Once the dimensional zones' restrictions are gone, humanity will usher in the apocalypse. Therefore, we need to have that item in our hands to prevent that from happening," the man said.

"Sir, is that thing really that important?" Qiao Siyuan asked the question on his mind.

"Back when humanity entered the Holy Land, there weren't just six heroes. In fact, there were a lot more, but most of them ended up dying inside, their names unknown to people. Besides the six heroes, some also left the Holy Land alive and brought certain things out. Jing Daoxian was one of them. Likewise for Ouyang. The thing he has was something I saw him take out the Holy Land with my own eyes. It is of grave importance. We need to gain control of it," the man said.

"Sir, I think there's a coincidence over a matter, but I'm not sure if it's problem," Qiao Siyuan said after some thought.

"Speak."

"Back when Jing Daoxian was seriously injured and under our pursuit, he actually stayed in Guide City for nearly ten minutes," Qiao Siyuan said.

"You've already written this in the report. It's related to that youth named Zhou Wen, right?"

"That's right. Later on, I investigated Zhou Wen in detail. Other than being Zhou Lingfeng's son, he has a rather good relationship with Professor Ouyang. When Professor Ouyang was principal at Guide City, he often invited Zhou Wen to eat at his placea treatment that other students and even teachers didn't receive. Now, Ouyang Lan has married Zhou Lingfeng. I just find it too much of a coincidence. I'm thinking of the possibility that Professor Ouyang gave the item to Zhou Wen or Zhou Lingfeng."

"Impossible. The power of that thing isn't something a Mortal-stage can withstand. It's impossible to even hold it. You can continue investigating Zhou Wen, but you have to place your focus on the An family. The only ones with the capability to commandeer that item in the An family are An Tianzuo and Ouyang Lan."

"Yes, I understand."

Feng Qiuyan wasn't in a good mood. He originally thought that he would definitely be first in class for the homework mission, but he never expected Wang Lu to be faster than him by nearly a second.

As expected of Wang Lu. She already has such power even before advancing to the Legendary stage. After Feng Qiuyan saw Wang Lu's video for the homework mission, he realized that he had lost fair and square. Wang Lu's comprehension and control over her positioning had reached an extremely high level. This was something that he lacked.

After Wang Lu advances to the Legendary stage, I will definitely fight her. Before that, I still need to train myself and make myself stronger. Feng Qiuyan quickly walked to the school gym.

Feng Qiuyan believed that he had to be focused on everything he did. Quality was demanded for everything, so he only practiced his saber techniques. He hoped to make his saber techniques faster and stronger, allowing him to reach the peak of the world.

Hence, after arriving at the gym, Feng Qiuyan immediately walked towards the training court where the ball launcher was. It was the most suitable machine for him to practice his saber's

speed.

However, when Feng Qiuyan got to the ball launcher court, he frowned when he realized that someone was occupying the grounds in practice.

On careful look, he realized that the person was someone he knew—the freshman who had killed the word-engraved Demonized General, Zhou Wen.

There was only one ball launcher, so Feng Qiuyan didn't wish to waste any time waiting. Therefore, after some thought, he walked straight into the court and picked up a rubber training saber from the rack before walking towards Zhou Wen.

Chapter 115 Unable to Touch the Balls

Zhou Wen felt that having his strength constantly increase despite staying in his dorm gaming all day seemed a little too eyebrow-raising, so he planned on some outdoor activities. At least, he had to let others know that he was cultivating arduously.

After circling the gym once, he had planned on choosing a simple strength training machine to train his legs, allowing him to free his hands and continue gaming.

But to his surprise, the gym was filled with people. After searching for a while, he discovered an empty training court.

In the past, Zhou Wen had never used a ball launcher. After seeing the demonstration on the screen, he knew what kind of machine it

was.

The ball launcher was similar to the pitching machines used in baseball practice. Balls were shot out of the machine and the trainee aimed to hit them.

It was just that the launcher would be shot in random directions in a wide area. Furthermore, it could also shoot multiple balls simultaneously. This was slightly different from a baseball pitching machine

There were many practice weapons on the racks-sabers, swords, poles, spears, whips, etc. They were all made of rubber.

Zhou Wen casually picked up a short pole and turned on the ball launcher. He was too lazy to study how he could adjust the launcher's difficulty, so he simply switched it on.

A ball shot out from the launcher's barrel like a cannonball. Zhou Wen took note of the distance and swung his short stick, easily striking the ball and sending it far away.

Soon, Zhou Wen realized that the launcher was rather simple. He could use one hand to strike the balls while using the other for gaming.

Some training like this doesn't seem too bad. As Zhou Wen gamed, he didn't need to look at the balls with his eyes to strike them. The listening ability that Truth Listener imbued him allowed him to hit the balls accurately.

Furthermore, Zhou Wen discovered that practicing Truth Listener's hearing ability was very helpful to his hearing.

There were all kinds of dimensional zones, many that had a great effect on one's vision, causing people to sometimes fight blind. All Zhou Wen originally wanted to do was to get some exercise, but after practicing for a while, he found such training very beneficial.

At that moment, Feng Qiuyan arrived at the training ground.

He walked onto the court with a practice saber in hand, but when he saw Zhou Wen gaming while striking the balls, he couldn't help but frown.

Looking at the balls' trajectory and speed, he knew that this was the lowest level of difficulty. It wasn't even a challenge for ordinary high-schoolers who had cultivated, much less students of Sunset College.

From Feng Qiuyan's point of view, Zhou Wen's training was an insult to the word "training."

Therefore, Feng Qiuyan decided to kick Zhou Wen out. Rather than let Zhou Wen waste the school's resources, it was better for him to train more.

Of course, it was beneath Feng Qiuyan to chase someone away, nor did he want to nag at Zhou Wen like a woman.

Feng Qiuyan had his own ways of doing things —in a masculine manner.

He approached Zhou Wen with a practice saber in hand and Feng Qiuyan stood there silently without moving as he stared at the ball launcher's muzzle.

Feng Qiuyan's idea was very simple. It was like playing basketball. As long as he snatched away all rebounds, preventing Zhou Wen from touching the balls, Zhou Wen would naturally find it pointless and leave.

Feng Qiuyan was confident he could snatch all of Zhou Wen's balls, preventing him from even touching a single ball.

Pong!

With a compressive blast emitted from the launch, a ball was shot out as it flew towards Zhou Wen at high speeds.

"Right now." Feng Qiuyan's heart stirred and was about to swing the wooden saber in his hand.

He was confident that as long as he brandished his saber, there would be nothing left for Zhou Wen. The speed at which he drew his saber was not something any ordinary student could match. Even if Zhou Wen stood in front of him, Feng Qiuyan was confident he could gain the upper hand.

However, when Feng Qiuyan raised the practice saber in his hand and was about to brandish it, his hand paused in midair. He had ultimately failed to complete the slash as he watched Zhou Wen send the ball flying with his practice pole.

Is it a coincidence? Feng Qiuyan frowned as he looked at Zhou Wen. He had his back to him, one hand still holding a pole, the other hand gaming on his phone.

However, just as Feng Qiuyan was about to attack, he felt that Zhou Wen was standing in the most appropriate position, blocking all the trajectories of his saber slashes. It prevented him from slashing at the ball.

It was like a rebound in basketball. Zhou Wen stood in the spot where the basketball landed. Although the others could jump higher than him, it was difficult to snatch the ball if they weren't in the right place.

The position Zhou Wen stood in had given Feng Qiuyan such a feeling, preventing him from having any chance of striking.

It's probably just a coincidence, Feng Qiuyan thought to himself as he stared at the ball launcher's muzzle.

There were a total of thirty-six launching muzzles. They were split into six rows, covering a length and height of twenty meters. Each muzzle had a small range of movement and direction, allowing for different trajectories in the balls it shot out.

As it was set to the lowest difficulty level, it only shot out one ball at a time. However, where the ball shot out from and its direction was unpredictable.

Feng Qiuyan focused and planned on finding the ball's landing spot before Zhou Wen could. He wanted him to have a taste of what it felt like to not be able to hit the ball.

Pong!

Another ball shot out. Feng Qiuyan trained his gaze at the ball's direction and position. Just as he raised his foot to rush over, he saw Zhou Wen already walk over. He was already one step too slow if he took the step now. Even if he rushed over, he would lose the optimal spot, failing to snatch the ball from Zhou Wen like before.

If you want to play, fine! I'll be serious this time. Feng Qiuyan imagined Zhou Wen was competing with him.

Furthermore, Zhou Wen's attitude of gaming while striking the ball made it obvious to him that he thought nothing of him. This made Feng Qiuyan vexed.

However, Zhou Wen wasn't thinking too much about it. He did hear someone beside him, but he didn't know that the person was Feng Qiuyan, nor did he know that Feng Qiuyan wanted to chase him away. He originally imagined that the training court allowed multiple people in, so he thought nothing of it. He just struck the balls relying on his hearing and senses.

The inclusion of Feng Qiuyan was also a form of practice for him.

Zhou Wen was still grinding Ant Nest-a dungeon he usually grinded when in public with other people around.

Another ball shot out. Feng Qiuyan was already fully focused, but just as he took his step, he realized that Zhou Wen was one step ahead of him, happening to walk to the optimal location before him again.

Pong!

The ball was sent flying by Zhou Wen again. Feng Qiuyan had failed to touch three consecutive balls. He didn't even strike out at all.

Chapter 116 How Did You Do It?

At first, Feng Qiuyan had deliberately suppressed his Speed, trying his best to maintain it at the Mortal stage to compete with Zhou Wen.

However, with the passage of time, Feng Qiuyan subconsciously increased his Speed after repeatedly failing to beat Zhou Wen to the punch. He began competing with Zhou Wen with Speed at the Legendary stage.

This only served to alarm Feng Qiuyan even more-Speed at the Legendary stage was still inadequate. Although his Speed was really much faster than Zhou Wen's, with Zhou Wen standing in the middle of the court which was about twenty meters wide, he only needed to cover ten meters.

Due to the short distance, he wasn't able to manifest his Speed advantage.

That was not the main reason either. Although the advantage of a short distance wasn't too obvious, an advantage was still an advantage. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely grab an advantageous spot ahead of time.

Even if he couldn't take that spot, with his saber speed, he could still strike the ball before Zhou Wen.

However, it was like Zhou Wen was prescient. Before the launcher shot out the ball, he had already begun moving. It was too late for Feng Qiuyan to move by the time he saw the ball. Having faster Speed was useless and this left Feng Qiuyan extremely aggrieved.

What was even more unacceptable to Feng Qiuyan was that Zhou Wen had been gaming with his other hand the entire time while snatching the ball away from him.

At first, Feng Qiuyan thought that Zhou Wen was deliberately insulting him and wasn't really focused on his gaming.

However, Feng Qiuyan later discovered that Zhou Wen was truly gaming. His eyes were peeled to the screen, having never left it once. It was as though snatching the ball was something that he did in passing.

This fellow… He's formidable… Sweat began oozing out of Feng Qiuyan's forehead as he stared at Zhou Wen's back. The contempt he had for him previously vanished completely. Zhou Wen's figure seemed to grow in size, turning tall and mighty. It was like an uninvadable city wall.

Zhou Wen wasn't paying attention to him at all, lost to his new discovery.

The Truth Listener earring gave him tremendous hearing, enough to make him hear the ball launcher in operation clearly. Therefore, he knew which muzzle the ball would shoot out ahead of time, allowing him to know the ball's trajectory and landing spot before Feng Qiuyan.

However, this wasn't the biggest surprise for Zhou Wen. What truly surprised him was his train of thought.

Zhou Wen was an extremely focused person. In the past, no matter what he did, he could be fully focused without being disturbed by anything. Therefore, others might find him dull due to his lack of reaction no matter what they said to him.

In fact, it wasn't because Zhou Wen was dull and silly, but that he was too focused to the point of not being able to hear what others were saying to him.

Now, Zhou Wen realized that he could still be focused on what he was doing, but at the same time, he seemed to be able to handle other matters as well. This feeling was rather indescribable.

If an analogy had to be made, Zhou Wen's thought process could be analogous to a computer processor. In the past, Zhou Wen's brain was a single-core processor, but now, it was a dual-core, allowing it to handle multiple programs at the same time.

Of course, this was only an analogy and was limited in its accuracy. However, it was a fact that Zhou Wen could hit all the balls while gaming. There didn't seem to be any interference between the two activities.

At the same time, Zhou Wen keenly discovered that while he was gaming and striking the balls, the Lost Immortal Sutra's circulation became especially fast. It was more than twice as fast as usual.

It appears this is the result of the Lost Immortal Sutra. Zhou Wen increasingly found the Lost Immortal Sutra extraordinary. However, he couldn't figure out why Jing Daoxian had given him such a powerful Primordial Energy Art for no reason. It didn't seem to make sense if it was simply because he caught his fancy.

Zhou Wen didn't know the origins of the Lost Immortal Sutra, so he naturally didn't know how terrifying it was. If not for the extraordinary focus he was born with, he would have long been killed by it. Even if he didn't die, he would go mad.

Even now, Zhou Wen could hear the murmuring voices resounding in his ears when sleeping at night. It would be difficult for a normal person to endure such harassment. Even if he didn't go mad, he would become extremely irascible; yet, Zhou Wen didn't suffer from such effects.

As Zhou Wen indulged in the thrill of his new discovery and training, Feng Qiuyan's expression became increasingly ugly.

He had already done his best, but couldn't snatch the ball from Zhou Wen. Although summoning a Companion Beast would give him a chance of defeating Zhou Wen, Feng Qiuyan's pride prevented him from doing so. He continued relying only on his physical prowess to compete with Zhou Wen.

When Zhou Wen felt that he had enough practice today, he stopped and rested. Just as he was about to return, he turned his head to look at Feng Qiuyan.

He couldn't help but be taken aback by what he saw.

He recognized Feng Qiuyan, but he looked drastically different from before. He was covered in sweat as he panted heavily. His eyes were glaring at him with eyes as red as a rabbit's eyes. This look like he could devour him at any moment gave Zhou Wen a fright.

Feng Qiuyan wasn't truly exhausted but was suffering from immense mental stress. With his physique at the Legendary stage, he had lost to a Mortal-stage fellow. Furthermore, he had been badly defeated. He had failed to snatch a single ball despite Zhou Wen gaming with one hand. The stress was simply unimaginable.

If it weren't for Feng Qiuyan's determination, anyone else with a slightly weaker well would probably have already lost their confidence.

The more Feng Qiuyan wanted to win, the greater the stress he was under. The mental fatigue he suffered exceeded his physical fatigue.

When Zhou Wen imagined that Feng Qiuyan would lunge at him and bite him, Feng Qiuyan glared at him and suddenly asked, "How did you do it?"

"What do you mean how?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback.

"How are you able to predict the landing spot of the ball without looking for it?" Feng Qiuyan asked the question burning in his heart.

He was stronger than Zhou Wen in everything, but he had lost to him on this point.

"Because of this." Zhou Wen pointed at his ear before picking up the coat on the chair and left.

Zhou Wen was referring to the Truth Listener earring he was wearing, but Feng Qiuyan clearly misunderstood Zhou Wen's words. He believed that Zhou Wen was referring to his ear and instantly, he fell into thought as he muttered to himself, So that's how it is. So he wasn't really gaming, but using the game to divert his sight and only use his ears to listen out for the ball. So there's actually such a training method. From the looks of it, the rumors of him being a gaming fanatic aren't as simple as they seem. He's more hardworking than anyone. Even gaming is a form of cultivation.

Clearly, Feng Qiuyan misunderstood Zhou Wen. In fact, gaming was his main goal and practicing his listening skills was just something he did in passing.

Seeing Zhou Wen walk out of the court, Feng Qiuyan suddenly snapped to attention as though he had awoken from a dream. He chased after him and called, "Zhou Wen, wait a moment."

Chapter 117 Please Be My Coach

"What's the matter?" Seeing Feng Qiuyan chase after him, Zhou Wen could only stop and turn his head to look at him.

Feng Qiuyan stared at him and enunciated each and every word as he said, "I want to hire you as my personal coach. Help tailor a training plan for me."

"You want me to be your personal coach?" Zhou Wen pointed at his nose and asked in surprise.

He did not believe that he had the talent to make training plans. His own plan was to game after gaming, ad infinitum.

"Please don't reject me. If you have any conditions, feel free to raise them. Money isn't a problem." Feng Qiuyan was quite sincere.

Zhou Wen had already opened his mouth, prepared to reject the offer, but upon hearing the words "money isn't a problem," he swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Are you sure you want me to be your personal coach and tailor training plans for you? I'm only a Mortal-grade student." Zhou Wen looked at Feng Qiuyan and confirmed it once again.

"Your level is not a problem. I just want to know your training methods. If you find it troublesome, you don't have to deliberately plan one for me. I just need to train with you. I'll do whatever you do," Feng Qiuyan said with all seriousness.

Feng Qiuyan clearly misunderstood Zhou Wen, believing that he, who could think of using his sense of hearing to train his strikes, definitely had plans for targeted training. Therefore, he wanted to hire Zhou Wen as his personal coach.

He wanted to know how Zhou Wen had trained to his present standards. Perhaps, it could aid him in his cultivation, allowing him to break through his recent bottleneck.

"I'm very expensive." Zhou Wen didn't think too much about it. Since there was a chance for him to earn money, there was no reason not to.

"I'll pay you what it costs to hire the most expensive personal coaches on the market. The payment can be made monthly or per class. If you have any other requests, you can tell me now," said Feng Qiuyan.

"It's best we settle it according to class, so a payment for each class." Zhou Wen thought for a moment and realized that he didn't have much to teach. He decided to teach a lesson first and if he really couldn't handle it, he wouldn't keep scamming Feng Qiuyan-one class would be all.

"Alright." Feng Qiuyan agreed without hesitation. He paid Zhou Wen for one class and eagerly asked, "Coach, what kind of training do we have for the first class?"

Zhou Wen thought for a moment before asking, "You use the saber, right?"

"That's right. I train to push my swift saber to the pinnacle and I pursue extreme speed." Feng Qiuyan looked at Zhou Wen with anticipation. He hoped that Zhou Wen could give him some special training method to aid his breakthrough.

Zhou Wen pondered for a while when he heard that. He suddenly realized that he didn't know any saber techniques, nor had he practiced any of them. The only thing he knew that had anything to do with sabers was Astral Slash Blade.

However, Astral Slash Blade was a Primordial Energy Skill that resembled a blade beam. It did not have any technique to speak of, as it was cleaved out directly without any need for cultivation.

Despite thinking all day, Zhou Wen couldn't think of a training plan tailored to Feng Qiuyan's cultivation.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhou Wen's mind as he thought of the word-engraved Demonized General in Tiger Cage Pass.

The word-engraved Demonized General had three different types. The Blade Demonized General's Astral Slash Blade was fast and ruthless, but it could only suppress the Paper Demonized General and was useless against the Fist Demonized General.

Although a swift saber was formidable, there were also ways to counter one.

In any case, I don't know any saber techniques yet. I'll make Feng Qiuyan practice his saber in a diametrically opposite manner. When the time comes, he'll find something amiss and won't come looking for me again. Realizing how quick Feng Qiuyan was to pay him, he found him quite a nice guy and didn't wish to scam him further.

"Feng Qiuyan, have you ever heard of the principle of extreme Yang gives birth to Yin?" Zhou Wen asked Feng Qiuyan.

"Are you referring to how things develop in an opposite direction when they go to the extreme?" Feng Qiuyan asked after some thought.

"It's almost the same. The ancients say that true wisdom sounds foolish and great skill looks clumsy. It's possible to have the opposite effect once you reach an extreme. You practice in the swift saber, then perhaps one day, if you feel slow drawing your saber, it might mean that your saber techniques can improve further," Zhou Wen said in a cursory manner, hoping that he could satisfy Feng Qiuyan for now, so that he wouldn't seek him out again.

Feng Qiuyan took Zhou Wen's words seriously as he asked, "Then, how do I train to reach the realm of the slow saber?"

"Some things require you to figure it out yourself. No matter how well others explain it, that's still someone else's insight. Only something you figure out is yours. I have already given you direction. As for how you should do it, it will require you to think about it." Although Zhou Wen was bullsh*tting Feng Qiuyan, what he said was truly what he believed in and understood. It wasn't complete nonsense.

After managing to get rid of Feng Qiuyan with great difficulty, Zhou Wen jogged back to his dorm and lay comfortably in bed as he took out his mysterious phone.

Perhaps it was his luck. This time, while he was grinding the Lotus Flower Cave, although he failed to obtain a Rank 9 Dragon Gate Fairy Skill, he managed to obtain a Fairy Monkey Companion Egg

Fairy Beast: Legendary

Life Providence: Pet of Air

Strength: 15

Speed: 18

Constitution: 15

Primordial Energy: 14

Talent Skill: Dragon Gate Fairy Skill

Companion Form: Wings

The Fairy Monkey's stats were clearly incomparable to the Silver-Winged Flying Ant, so he directly fed the Companion Egg to Truth Listener.

In the past, Truth Listener didn't react much after eating a Companion Egg. However, after swallowing the Companion Egg this time, a system notification appeared.

'Truth Listener has obtained the evolution requirement and is beginning to evolve.'

Zhou Wen saw Truth Listener's figure appear on the screen. It was a tiny beast in the shape of a golden silk monkey. At this moment, Truth Listener was glowing with resplendent golden light, as though it was a golden Buddha statue. It was so blinding that it filled the entire screen with golden light.

After feeding it for so long, it's finally evolving. Zhou Wen was delighted.

Truth Listener at the Mortal stage was not of much use. However, it would definitely be very useful after advancing to the Legendary stage.

After a while, the golden light on the screen gradually faded away, revealing its true looks. At the same time, a system notification popped up on the screen: 'Truth Listener's evolution completed.'

However, Zhou Wen didn't seem to notice much of a change. Its body was still small, only slightly bigger than his fingers. It was covered in golden fur and its eyes were sparkling with golden light.

No, it's still a little different. Zhou Wen realized that Truth Listener was indeed somewhat different. It originally resembled a golden silk monkey with just a pair of ears, but now it had another pair of ears. It now had four ears.

However, its ears were very small. They were neatly placed on both sides of its head without making it look ugly at all. If one didn't look closely, one would not notice that it had four ears.

Chapter 118 Heaven's Senses

Truth Listener: Legendary (Evolvable)

Life Providence: Heaven's Senses

Strength: 21

Speed: 21

Constitution: 21

Primordial Energy: 21

Talent Skill: Truth Listener, Indestructible Golden Body, Evil Warding, Nine Extremes

Companion Form: Earring

In the past, Zhou Wen thought that the maximum stats for Legendaries was 18. He later found through the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant and Silver-Winged Flying Ant that 18 wasn't the limit, but he had never seen 21.

Mythical creatures are really different. Even if they haven't evolved to the Mythical stage, their stats aren't something ordinary Companion Beasts can compare with. However, I have no idea what exact use Heaven's Senses has. Zhou Wen read Truth Listener's stats carefully and saw that there was an additional note regarding the Life Providence: Prying into the secrets of the world using ears instead of eyes.

When he summoned Truth Listener, it still looked petite. It was glowing with golden light as if it was a piece of golden silk monkey art carved out of gold.

From its appearance, it did not seem powerful at all. The Legendary Mutated Skeleton Ant that shared its level looked many times stronger than it.

Getting Truth Listener to turn into an earring before wearing it, Zhou Wen closed his eyes and focused. He immediately felt that the Truth Listener earring had augmented his sense of hearing in a way that was much better than before.

Although he had his eyes closed, everything around him appeared like a three-dimensional figure in his mind. It was as though Zhou Wen could see everything around him. The only difference was that the three-dimensional figure in his mind was black and white instead of the colored world he saw with his eyes.

Zhou Wen knew that he wasn't really seeing anything, but the ability brought by the Truth Listener earring

He originally believed that he had no way of hearing a still object no matter how good his hearing was. But now, he realized that what he believed was wrong.

No object existed independently. Although some objects were still, the movement of other objects would similarly affect them. As long as his hearing was powerful enough, he could replace his eyes with his ears to see still objects.

The flow of air and the sound waves produced feedback the moment they touched a still object. The average person couldn't hear such feedback, but the Truth Listener earring allowed Zhou Wen to hear it clearly. Furthermore, it outlined a three-dimensional figure in his mind, as though he was looking at it with his own eyes. There were even more details than could be seen with open eyes.

Within twenty meters, even if there were obstructions, Zhou Wen could still see everything behind the walls with his ears. It was as if he had x-ray vision. Other than the lack of colors, everything else was no different from normal vision.

With this strange sense of hearing, Zhou Wen could clearly hear everything in the two buildings beside him. The sound-proofing was completely ineffective against him.

While Wang Lu wasn't in the dorm, An Jing happened to be in the bedroom near to Zhou Wen. He didn't have a fetish for invading privacies, so just as he was about to retract his hearing, he heard An Jing say, "Zhou Wen still hasn't cultivated in the Sun Strafe Art. Was the harm I dealt him last time that great? Did I really go too far?"

Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. If he hadn't identified that the person speaking was clearly An Jing, he would have believed that he had heard wrongly.

His impression of An Jing was always one that was haughty and aloof as if she viewed everything in a condescending manner. It was hard to imagine that these words came from her mouth.

Zhou Wen couldn't help but feel curious. He wanted to hear what An Jing would say, so he didn't put away the Truth Listener earring and continued listening to the commotion next door.

The usually cold and arrogant An Jing was now sitting on the bed with a teddy bear in hand. It was as if she was speaking to the bear. "I didn't really want to hurt him. I just wanted to prove myself. I just want to let Grandpa know that Mom's choice was wrong. Her child is the best, far more excellent than the genius described by Grandpa. I know Zhou Wen is innocent and this matter has nothing to do with him, but apart from defeating him, I didn't have any way of proving to Grandpa that I'm better than him. I really didn't want to set him back."

"Bear Bear, what do I have to do to make him stand back on his feet?" An Jing paused before adding, "It's not that I care about him. It's just that if he can't get back on his feet and advance to the Legendary stage, my defeat of him will be meaningless. It still wouldn't prove to Grandpa that I'm better than him. So I must first help him establish his confidence and then help him advance to the Legendary stage. I'll defeat him when he's at tip-top shape. This will let Grandpa know that his daughter's child is the best. Mom's decision to marry Dad was right."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wen stopped listening and put away the Truth Listener earring.

Now, he finally understood why An Jing was targeting him. It was not because of Zhou Lingfeng and Ouyang Lan's marriage, nor was it simply because of that special physique.

However, Zhou Wen wasn't concerned that An Jing was upset with him. He only hoped that An Jing would not disturb him in the future. It was best if they minded their own business.

Now, all Zhou Wen wanted to do was game in peace. The fewer things he had to do, the better.

As usual, he first killed all the mini-bosses in the dungeons before heading to Fire God Platform to memorize the Ancient Imperial Sutra. Just as he was doing it the second time, the doorbell rang.

Zhou Wen opened the door and saw that it was Li Xuan, who he hadn't seen in days.

Li Xuan wore a smug look as he patted Zhou Wen on the shoulder. "Brat, I'll be protecting you in the future. If there's anyone who dares bully you, just give them my name."

"You aren't sick, are you?" Zhou Wen swatted away Li Xuan's hand and sat down on the couch. He poured himself a cup of blood-replenishing tea and slowly drank it.

Li Xuan smugly sat down beside Zhou Wen and wrapped his arm around his shoulder. Suppressing his excitement, he deliberately whispered, "Old Zhou, I finally succeeded in advancing to the Legendary stage. Guess what my Life Providence is?"

"I'm not guessing. I'm not interested." Zhou Wen continued drinking his tea.

However, Li Xuan still said excitedly, "I doubt you can guess it anyway. Let me tell you, my Legendary Life Providence is Immortal God of Combat. Isn't that impressive? Just the sound of the name makes it freaking awesome. I'm not bragging, but this Life Providence pretty much means invincibility-an immortal body, a supreme Dominance Body. People like Yang Lie will be exhausted to death beating me while I stand there, completely unmoved…"

When Li Xuan said this, he stood up and jumped onto the couch. He made an arrogant pose, his eyes filled with contempt as though he was looking down on everyone in the world.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked down by the sleeping antelope.

The antelope had already treated the couch as its bed. For Li Xuan to have the guts to hop on its bed in his shoes, there was no way it was going to be friendly with him.

Bang!

Li Xuan fell to the ground, his sternum sinking in with the shape of a hoof while he spewed out blood from his mouth.

"Isn't… Isn't that an antelope?" Li Xuan sprawled on the ground as he looked at the languid antelope in astonishment, his face wearing a look of disbelief.

Chapter 119 Providence Palace

Li Xuan had always believed that the antelope was a mutated animal from the bottom half of Mount Laojun. However, the power of its hooves made him realize that it was not only a dimensional creature but an extremely high-level one.

His Immortal God of Combat Life Providence had greatly augmented his Constitution. Although calling it an immortal and indestructible Dominance Body was an exaggeration, it wouldn't be easy for mere Legendaries to injure him.

The antelope had severely injured him with a casual kick of its hoof. This was already beyond the strength of a Legendary level. It was highly likely an Epic stage existence.

"I'll take you to the hospital." Zhou Wen was also given a fright. Although the antelope had been staying at his place and refusing to leave, it had never hurt him.

Now, with this strike, it had severely injured Li Xuan, who had just ascended to the Legendary stage. It also confirmed Zhou Wen's previous speculation that the antelope had terrifying strength.

"There's no need. This small injury is nothing to me. The Immortal God of Combat Life Providence still means something." Li Xuan shook his head and propped himself up, using the coffee table to stand up.

Li Xuan seemed to be enduring a great deal of pain in the beginning. Even breathing seemed to be unbearable, and his face was ghastly pale.

However, after taking a few deep breaths, his complexion gradually improved. The injury on his chest seemed to be slowly recovering.

"The Immortal God of Combat has a powerful self-recovery ability. As long as I'm alive, my injuries can slowly recover." Li Xuan did not forget to boast about his Life Providence.

"Your Virgin God of Combat Life Providence sure is nice." Zhou Wen was slightly surprised. This Life Providence was really impressive-it could be considered a life-saving skill.

"What Virgin God of Combat… It's Immortal God of Combat… Cough…" Agitated, Li Xuan pulled at his internal injuries, causing him to cough out a lot of blood.

"It looks like your self-recovery powers won't restore you that quickly. Let me take you to the hospital now." Zhou Wen helped Li Xuan out.

Li Xuan originally wanted to say no, but when he saw the antelope on the couch, he shivered and left Zhou Wen's dormitory with his neck shrank back.

"What's with that antelope? Isn't it a mutated animal from Mount Laojun?" Li Xuan asked in a suppressed voice after Zhou Wen helped him out of the building.

"I'm not too sure either. It's been following me all this time, but it hasn't injured anyone before. It's the first time today," Zhou Wen said honestly.

"I… Forget it… I'll just blame it on my luck… There's no need to go to the hospital. Let's find a place to rest. I still have something to tell you." Li Xuan felt depressed.

Zhou Wen sized Li Xuan up and asked, "Is your injury really alright?"

"It's just a flesh wound and I'm not internally injured. Even if we don't go to the hospital, it will only take a few days before I recover. It'll be troublesome if we go to the hospital, but you be careful in the future. Don't end up getting kicked to death by that animal," Li Xuan said.

The two of them sat down on a long bench on the lawn. Li Xuan's complexion was much better now, having appeared to have returned to normal. From the looks of it, he wasn't just bragging. The Immortal God of Combat was indeed impressive.

It's not bad to have a life-saving Life Providence like Li Xuan's, Zhou Wen thought.

"The school's first comprehensive test is almost here. How's your preparation going?" Li Xuan asked after taking a few deep breaths while on the long bench.

"What preparation?" Zhou Wen knew about the monthly comprehensive test, but he had no idea why he needed to prepare for it.

Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Zhou Wen speechlessly. "Let me guess. You didn't read the syllabus for the comprehensive test?"

"No, has it been announced?" Zhou Wen shook his head slightly.

Li Xuan complained, "You really don't know anything about the outside world. All you focus on is gaming. Every year, the first comprehensive test is the same. There are a total of four subjects—fishing a coin from a pot of oil, crossing a paper bridge, lifting stone tripod cauldrons, and sucking in the mountain and rivers. You need to pass two of these tests to pass. If you were to fail three of them, you would be dismissed from school."

"Why do these names sound like acrobatic performances of the past?" Zhou Wen laughed.

"The names are indeed tacky, but they really aren't easy. These tests are real tests of ability and not some sleight of hand used by acrobats on the street. Fishing out a coin from a pot of boiling oil uses real oil. To fish one out with one's physical body is definitely impossible. Your hand will be crippled the moment you put it in. You need to have a Primordial Energy Skill covering your hand or have a protective Primordial Energy Skill to fish the coin out. Crossing the paper bridge is the easiest test to fail. It's a paper bridge spanning a hundred meters. The bridge's surface is made of thin calligraphic paper and tearing it when stepping over it will be considered a failure. Without a Primordial Energy Skill that imbues you with alacrity, there's no way to cross it.

"The lifting of the stone tripod cauldron is easy. As long as you have enough Strength, using some Primordial Energy Skill that enhances Strength will allow you to pass. It's not difficult to devour the mountain and rivers either. As long as you have 9 points of Primordial Energy, you'll basically pass. These are the basic requirements Sunset College sets. You should be fine for the latter two, but you need to prepare the first two. If you don't have the type of Primordial Energy Skills required, I can lend you a few Primordial Energy Skill Crystals," Li Xuan said.

"There's no need. I have my ways of passing." Zhou Wen had Lotus Flower Buddha's Primordial Energy Skill, so it shouldn't be a problem to fish out a coin.

As for crossing the paper bridge, he also had Dragon Gate Fairy Skill. It wouldn't be difficult for him to cross the bridge.

However, Zhou Wen didn't plan on completing all the tests since he could pass as long as he completed two tests. There was no need for him to participate in all four of them.

However, Li Xuan said, "Don't take this matter lightly. If you can squeeze into the top ten in the comprehensive test, you can get a chance to enter Providence Palace. Besides Sunset College. That's an awesome place unique to Sunset College that you can't find elsewhere."

"Providence Palace?" Zhou Wen was surprised.

Zhou Wen had heard of this name before. Providence Palace was actually the royal palace in the era of the Sui and Tang dynasty. Back then, Luoyang City was the capital and center of politics of the country and Providence Palace was the political center of Luoyang.

Later on, Providence Palace was later buried in history and was destroyed during a war. However, after the dimensional storms, its ruins formed a dimensional zone.

Zhou Wen had heard a lot of rumors about the Providence Palace's dimensional zone. It was a relatively special dimensional zone without much danger inside; yet, it was possible to obtain great opportunities inside.

In the past, when he was in high school, there were rumors of a certain student obtaining a particular treasure in Providence Palace and ended directly shooting to stardom, advancing to the Legendary or even the Epic stage.

Of course, they were only urban myths. The Providence Palace's dimensional zone had always been under Sunset College's control and had never been open to the public. Only a handful of Sunset College students had the qualification to enter. As for what benefits lay within, Zhou Wen really did not know what it was.

Chapter 120 Providence Palace's Treasures

"I've already found out that there aren't many areas in Providence Palace that have been cleared. We can only walk to the main entrance and can't even enter the city gates. In fact, people do not even consider entering Providence Palace," Li Xuan said.

"If we can't even get in, why are we heading there?" Zhou Wen asked puzzled.

"Don't be anxious. Listen to me slowly." Li Xuan acted all mysterious and continued, "Usually, the doors of Providence Palace are sealed shut. Even the most famous Epic experts would not be able to enter, much less us. That's why no one knows what's inside to date. However, one day every year, the city gates to Providence Palace will open. Many strange and magical items will appear from everywhere as though they are dragged by invisible ghosts, lining up to fly inside."

"I heard that there are all sorts of treasures in there. There are rare antiques, weapons and armors, gemstones and jade, and all kinds of precious treasures. However, they are practically no use to us. True treasures are the Companion Eggs and dimensional crystals. Rumor has it that a senior once obtained a Companion Egg which was an Epic stage angel. You definitely know of angel Companion Beasts. They are dimensional creatures that only appear in the West District's dimensional zone. Logically speaking, we shouldn't have any angel Companion Eggs here," Li Xuan said in a tone of mystery.

"Is that true?" Zhou Wen found Li Xuan's words getting more and more outrageous as he found it unbelievable.

"Why would I lie to you? Someone from our Li family has already entered, but they didn't pick anything good," Li Xuan said.

"According to what you've said, since there are so many good things in Providence Palace, why don't they invite more people to head in to take them out? Why do they only allow the top ten in the comprehensive test in?" Zhou Wen still found it unbelievable as Li Xuan's account didn't make sense at all.

"Do you think anyone can choose what they want? When they first discovered the Providence Palace dimensional zone, they discovered ten tokens. On that day, only a person with a token had the right to choose one of the items to bring back. Those without the token couldn't even touch anything inside. Those with a token could only choose one object, nothing more," Li Xuan said in apparent seriousness.

Although Li Xuan's words were bizarre, Zhou Wen knew that there was no need for him to lie. Instead, he was a little curious about Providence Palace.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "It's useless to think too much now. If I want to choose something from Providence Palace, I'll have to enter the top 10 at the comprehensive test or it's useless. There are all kinds of experts in Sunset College, so even though I've advanced to the Legendary stage, I don't have the confidence of squeezing into the top ten. Old Zhou, you haven't even advanced to the Legendary stage. It will only be harder for you to enter the top ten. Ignoring everything else, there's Huang Ji, Hui Haifeng, Wang Lu, Feng Qiuyan, and that sister of yours. Those five people will definitely enter the top ten, occupying five spots. The remaining five spots have many powerful fellows vying for it. I'm sure I can enter the top ten given a year or two, but now, it's a little hard to say."

Zhou Wen didn't know many students at Sunset College, but he knew all of the people Li Xuan mentioned.

"There's nothing wrong with the rest, but Wang Lu hasn't advanced to the Legendary stage yet, right? How do you know that she would definitely be able to take up a spot?" Zhou Wen looked at Li Xuan suspiciously.

"Do you really not know it or are you faking it? The Wang family's Wang Lu cultivates in the Youth Rejuvenation Divine Art. If she can't take the spot, who else can?" Li Xuan said.

Zhou Wen was confused by what he heard. Seeing that he did not know anything, Li Xuan explained in detail to Zhou Wen.

The Youth Rejuvenation Divine Art was the Wang family's Primordial Energy Art which few outsiders knew much about. After cultivating this Primordial Energy Art, the first breakthrough would result in someone regaining their youth.

The youth here didn't mean age, but the drop of one's stage to the Mortal stage. At the same time, one's physique and talent would improve tremendously. Not only was advancing quick, but one's attainment was higher when redoing the cultivation.

Wang Lu's first advancement to the Legendary stage happened when she was about the same age as An Jing. However, after the advancement, the effects of the Youth Rejuvenation reduced her back to the Mortal stage. She needed to cultivate and advance to the Legendary stage again, but she wouldn't suffer a repeat.

However, after Wang Lu advanced to the Epic stage, she would experience the effect of Youth Rejuvenation again. She would still drop to the Mortal stage and have to cultivate again.

"Wang Lu definitely must have taken a liking to the opportunity of Providence Palace by choosing to study at Sunset College. Before the comprehensive test, she will definitely be able to advance back to the Legendary stage," Li Xuan said with great certainty.

"I see." Only then did Zhou Wen realize that Wang Lu actually had such a story.

"Anyway, I've already informed you. Think about it yourself. Call me if you need anything." Li Xuan rubbed his chest and got up to leave.

His Invincible Connate Divine Art Life Providence and Invincible Connate Divine Art could heal his body quickly, but the pain didn't lessen one bit.

After Li Xuan left, Zhou Wen had been thinking about the comprehensive test.

If it was only a competition for placement, Zhou Wen definitely wouldn't have wanted to vie for it. However, the items in Providence Palace were quite attractive to him.

Even if the other students were to compete, they could only choose one at most. However, Zhou Wen was wondering if he could download Providence Palace to his phone and choose multiple items.

To verify this thought, he had to download Providence Palace first. However, if he didn't enter the top ten, he wouldn't have the chance to get there and naturally wouldn't have the chance to download the dungeon.

It looks like I'll have to try for this spot. Zhou Wen made up his mind to vie for it, but he wasn't sure if he could get the nomination.

The four projects tested the students' Speed, Strength, Constitution, and Primordial Energy respectively. Zhou Wen's four attributes were stronger than anyone else of the same level, but compared to those at the Legendary stage, he was still very much inferior.

"Fortunately, the comprehensive test allows the use of Companion Beasts. It's not like I don't have a chance at all." After Zhou Wen returned to his room, he began crazily grinding again.

In the past few days, Zhou Wen's luck had seemed pretty good. When he was grinding Lotus Flower Cave, another Fairy Monkey Companion Egg was dropped. Furthermore, its attributes were extremely high.

Zhou Wen couldn't bear to use it as food. Finally, he steeled his heart and fused the Fairy Monkey Companion Egg with the Stone Qilin Companion Egg.

If he could get an excellent-grade Companion Egg with two skills, Zhou Wen decided to take the risk to incubate it.

However, with a 65% compatibility score, the fusion failed. With a loud bang from the phone, the two Companion Eggs vanished.

Although Zhou Wen was already mentally prepared for failure, he still felt depressed when he saw the two Companion Eggs disappear.

Gambling is indeed a terrible thing. Zhou Wen sighed and could only continue grinding.

Chapter 121 Untouchable Stone Saber

"Overseer, there's news from the League that a dimensional creature broke out from the sea and has infiltrated the East district. It might be coming to us," Ah Sheng said as he held a document that had just been faxed over.

"What level is the dimensional creature?" An Tianzuo frowned and asked.

"I'm not too sure yet, but from the description of the document, it didn't easily break through the coastal defenses and even suffered some injuries. It should be an ordinary Epic stage creature," Ah Sheng looked at the document and said, "However, after it charged through the coastal defenses, the League hasn't been able to track it. They occasionally discover its traces and from its trajectory, it might pass through Luoyang. The League wants us to cooperate in stopping it. Overseer, what's your take on this?"

"Strengthen the defenses and distribute the newly researched Primordial Gold bullets. Even if you can't kill it here, you can't let it do as it pleases in Luoyang," An Tianzuo said.

"Yes, Overseer." Ah Sheng received the order and left.

With the help of the Legendary Truth Listener earring, Zhou Wen felt like a fish in water. A few days later, he finally managed to remember all the content of the Ancient Imperial Sutra.

The moment he finished memorizing the Ancient Imperial Sutra, he felt as if every cell in his body was igniting. His entire body became extremely hot, almost to the point of burning

As for the firebird horde that charged towards the blood-colored avatar, they retreated and returned to the furnace in front of the stone monument.

Just as Zhou Wen thought his body was about to explode, the Lost Immortal Sutra came into effect, causing his body to turn completely still.

In the next second, his Primordial Energy began circulating again. However, it was no longer the path of the Lost Immortal Sutra. It became the Ancient Imperial Sutra that Zhou Wen had just memorized.

The Ancient Imperial Sutra could be described with one word-overbearing. Wherever Primordial Energy flowed, Zhou Wen felt as though all his cells had turned into explosives that could explode with unparalleled power.

That searing, potent, and oppressive power was something Zhou Wen had never experienced in any of the other Primordial Energy Arts he cultivated in.

However, this overbearing power made him feel brimming with energy and vitality instead of destruction.

When the Ancient Imperial Sutra completed a cycle, Zhou Wen felt a strange change in his body. It was as though a casual punch could cause a rupture in the world.

Looking at the blood-colored avatar's stats, he discovered that the values of the four attributes had changed from 10 to 11 points. Now, Zhou Wen had three stats at 11, leaving only one stat at 10.

As he had mastered the Ancient Imperial Sutra to a basic level, the blood-colored avatar could stand near the Fire God Platform without firebirds appearing to attack him.

Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to walk up to the Fire God Platform. The flames inside the furnace flickered but did not spew out any firebirds.

He originally thought that Fire God Platform would give him a Companion Egg, but he was ultimately disappointed. There was only a stone monument and a stone furnace on Fire

1 Platform, nothing else; hence, there was no one to give him a Companion Egg.

So not every place has a Mythical Companion Egg to give! Zhou Wen didn't feel disappointed as he carefully observed the stone monument and furnace.

He had already noted down the words on the monument. Furthermore, he had already gained a basic mastery of the Ancient Imperial Sutra, so there was nothing special about it.

On the contrary, the stone furnace was rather strange and Zhou Wen couldn't help but be even more meticulous studying it.

There were many firebird symbols on the outside of the stone furnace, but upon closer inspection, he realized that they were not firebirds but fire plumes of different shapes.

There was something in the furnace that was burning with scarlet flames.

Zhou Wen looked at it for a while before identifying it as a stone saber. It was in the furnace flames that burned vigorously. This only allowed him to make out its blurry outline.

Is the stone saber in the furnace also a Companion Egg? Zhou Wen's heart skipped a beat as he made the blood-colored avatar attempt to remove the saber from the furnace.

Since it was only a waste of a blood drop if the blood-colored avatar were to die, Zhou Wen was not stingy with making such attempts.

After circulating the Ancient Imperial Sutra to its limit, the blood-colored avatar's palm reached into the stone furnace. The flames in the furnace automatically parted, as though they were welcoming his hand.

The flames split apart, revealing the stone saber stuck in the middle of the stone furnace. Zhou Wen could now see it clearly instead of a blurry outline.

The first impression that he had of the stone saber was that it was rough. It was ground from black stone with many rough edges and uneven pot marks. It was nothing perfect or exquisite.

However, this stone saber gave Zhou Wen an extremely oppressive feeling. It was as though it was the only thing that could claim to be supreme in the entire world as an ancient and desolate aura inundated him.

On one side of the stone saber, there was a bloodstain. The blood-red color coupled with its shape made it look like a blood-red bolt of lightning

Without any hesitation, he controlled the blood-colored avatar to grab the handle, hoping to pull the stone saber out of the furnace.

However, when the blood-colored avatar's palm touched the stone saber, Zhou Wen was stunned. The blood-colored avatar's palm seemed to pass through an illusion and did not touch it.

Why is this happening? Zhou Wen tried a few more times, but the result was the same. The stone saber did not seem to exist at all as though it was only an illusion. It was futile no matter how the blood-colored avatar tried to grab it. Time and again, its palm would pass through it.

Zhou Wen spent a long time studying the situation on Fire God Platform without figuring out what was going on.

Could it be that the stone saber is really just an illusion? Zhou Wen stared at the stone saber in the game, but it didn't look like an illusion at all, because the aura of the saber was just too potent. How could an illusion have such an aura?

Now, Zhou Wen had the urge to immediately return to Guide Ancient City and scale the Fire God Platform in reality. He wanted to see if there was a stone saber in the furnace.

That was just an impulsive thought after all. It was impossible for him to return to the Guide Ancient City, so he could only give up on his plan of obtaining the stone saber and leave the Ancient Imperial City dungeon.

My three stats have already reached 11 points, so how can I find a Primordial Energy Art to increase my Speed to 11 points? Zhou Wen only wanted to quickly advance to the Legendary stage.

Being at the Mortal stage was just too weak. He would be slaughtered if he encountered true experts. Furthermore, only by advancing to the Legendary stage could he incubate Legendary Companion Eggs without any worries.

Armor, weapons, necklaces, and other Companion Beasts were very helpful in improving his strength.

After careful consideration, Zhou Wen headed to the college library. He wanted to see if there were any other mysterious dimensional zones in Luoyang that had Primordial Energy Arts.

Unfortunately, he didn't find anything similar to Small Buddha Temple or Mount Laojun. At least in Luoyang, there was no place like that.

Zhou Wen browsed through the other dimensional zones in the League. He made some decent discoveries through this search.

Boom!

As Zhou Wen was checking the information, he suddenly heard a loud boom. The entire library was shaking violently as a large amount of cement fell from above.

Chapter 122 The Library Incident

Zhou Wen immediately activated his Lotus Flower Buddha Body. At the same time, he extended his silver wings and retreated more than 10 meters. His left hand, which was wrapped by the lotus flower bracer, shattered the large piece of concrete steel that came crashing towards him.

Boom!

Amidst the splattering dust and plaster, Zhou Wen saw a huge green-scaled snake falling down from the hole in the roof. It shattered the bookshelf and the wood fragments flew everywhere as the ground opened up into a huge crater.

A large number of fragments smashed onto Zhou Wen. Thankfully, he had already activated Lotus Flower Buddha Body, so none of the flying rubble harmed his body.

The green-scaled snake was extremely large, spanning more than a hundred meters long. It was as thick as a water barrel and on its back was a pair of gigantic wing-like fins.

The students in the library dodged and screamed as they ran out. Although Zhou Wen didn't know what was going on, he knew that he couldn't stay here for long. Just as he was about to flee the library, he saw the huge snake open its enormous mouth in a bid to devour a student.

The student was too close to the spot where the snake had landed. A flying fragment of a steel slab had pierced through her calf and her body was pinned to the ground. She could not free herself to escape.

Zhou Wen took a look and realized that the student was Fang Ruoxi. With a thought, the Silver-Winged Flying Ant immediately separated from him and transformed into a silver stream of light, pulling her out before the snake could devour her.

The Silver-Winged Flying Ant carried the injured Fang Ruoxi and flew back to Zhou Wen's side. The enraged snake lifted its neck and opened its mouth, wanting to lunge towards him.

Zhou Wen was just about to flee when he suddenly heard a series of gunshots. A large number of soldiers jumped down from the hole and held their assault rifles in their hands. They fired unceasingly at the snake.

Typically hot weapons had limited impact on dimensional creatures even with nuclear bombs, much less bullets. They might even accelerate the mutation of dimensional creatures.

However, when the soldiers' bullets hit the snake, they pierced through the scales and caused it to bleed. The snake began to twist its body and cry out as it tried to escape.

However, it was already too late for it to escape. The soldiers continued firing at it. In just a few seconds, the gigantic snake had become riddled with holes. The snake's blood was everywhere.

"Young Master Wen, are you alright?" A young man who looked like an officer rushed over and sized Zhou Wen up before asking anxiously.

"I'm fine." Zhou Wen recognized the officer to be An Tianzuo's adjutant, Ah Sheng.

"It's good that you're fine. Young Master Wen, you can go back now. There are still some matters to settle here." Ah Sheng called two soldiers over and asked them to escort Zhou Wen and Fang Ruoxi out of the library.

Fang Ruoxi's calf was injured and the steel slab was still piercing through it. Thankfully, the injury was not serious. The moment they left the library, the medical team rushed over with a doctor to treat Fang Ruoxi.

"Thank you Zhou Wen. You took the risk to save me even though I treated you badly in the past," Fang Ruoxi said to Zhou Wen. She had been brooding over the fact that she had failed to form a team with Zhou Wen.

"It's nothing. It wasn't much of a risk. If it were any other student, I would also have saved them. You don't have to think too much." Zhou Wen turned around and left.

The middle-aged female doctor who was treating Fang Ruoxi's wound almost burst out laughing when she saw the disappointment on Fang Ruoxi's face. She said, "Young lady, there's no loss missing out on such insensitive men. It's how he acts that makes him single. It will save you a lot of woe in the future."

Fang Ruoxi blushed. "We're just ordinary classmates, don't think too much."

The incident at the library caused quite a commotion on campus. The students were all discussing this matter.

The college also gave an official account that a criminal was escaping with a Companion Beast and ended up entering the college accidentally under the military's pursuit. The criminal and the Companion Beast were both killed on the spot by the military.

Zhou Wen had seen the gigantic snake with his own eyes, but he didn't feel that it was a Companion Beast with an owner. It resembled more of a feral dimensional creature.

Zhou Wen himself also felt that it was impossible. After all, feral dimensional creatures weren't able to leave their dimensional zones. However, when he thought of the antelope in his dorm, he felt that it wasn't exactly possible.

If all dimensional creatures can rush out of their dimensional zones, what would the human world become? Zhou Wen could not help but shudder when he thought of this possibility.

The number of human experts had increased over the past few decades and Epic experts were no longer rare. But compared to those dimensional creatures, they were still far inferior.

Ignoring everything else, just like the three-faced Buddha in Small Buddha Temple and the expert who didn't even show his face at Mount Laojun, they were probably existences that few humans could match.

Furthermore, there were many places like this on Earth.

If there really comes a day when dimensional creatures are able to rush out of the dimensional zones, it would be the end of the world for humans. One must be strong enough to survive. Zhou Wen felt that the day wasn't too distant. The examples of the antelope and the snake made his sense of danger tingling.

I still need to increase my strength. Zhou Wen felt the urgency to improve his strength-he needed to have the ability to survive in such a disaster.

After returning to his dorm, he decided to take a shower and change out of his tattered clothes and dirt-covered clothes before taking a shower to continue gaming.

However, when he removed his clothes, he realized that there was a clamshell the size of an egg on the inside of his shirt.

The clamshell's rainbow colors made it extremely beautiful. Zhou Wen casually pulled it off and was about to throw it away when he noticed something while holding it in his hand.

Inside the clamshell was filled with blue seawater. Even if the clamshell was facing downwards, not a single drop of seawater stirred, it all remained inside.

Zhou Wen was a little surprised to suddenly see waves rise up from the seawater. Ripples spread out and something slowly floated up in the middle.

He was alarmed as he quickly threw away the clamshell. At the same time, he summoned his Companion Beasts and fused with them to prepare for battle.

However, the clamshell that Zhou Wen threw was floating in mid-air. A petite, beautiful figure emerged from the rippling seawater.

It was a mermaid-like creature with a head of golden wavy hair. However, her ears looked like fish fins and her eyes were blue like the sea, seemingly possessing an indescribable charm.

Is this a mermaid or a siren? Zhou Wen frowned slightly. He was now sure that this was definitely a feral dimensional creature.

Chapter 123 The First Order of Chaos

Without much hesitation, the moment he saw the siren-like mermaid appear, the transparent wings on Zhou Wen's back vibrated and he slammed his feet on the ground, wanting to rush out from the balcony.

There were too many unknown and terrifying existences in this world. Regardless of his chances of defeating a siren, Zhou Wen was unwilling to risk it.

But just as he moved, a large amount of seawater burst out from the clamshell behind the siren. The egg-sized clamshell spewed out seawater like a waterfall that engulfed the entire living room.

Zhou Wen's body collided with the waterfall formed by the seawater and immediately felt his body being pushed back into the living room like a wave.

"Keke, foolish human. When standing before the Queen of the Sea, resistance is futile. Your only option is to become my slave and be used by me." The siren's body gradually walked out of the clamshell and gradually grew in size, becoming as big as an ordinary human.

Zhou Wen gathered his Strength and repeatedly slammed into the waterfall formed by the seawater. He was repelled every time. Even Astral Slash Blade left a tiny crack when he slashed down on the waterfall before the hole disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"It's useless, foolish human. Stop doing such foolish acts and become my slave." As the siren spoke, a strange light shone in her blue eyes, exuding an indescribable charm.

Zhou Wen's gaze landed on the strange pair of eyes and his eyes immediately lost focus. As though in a trance, he dazedly walked towards the siren.

"Yes, that's right. Come into my embrace and be my slave. It's a great honor for a human…" She spread out her arms and embraced Zhou Wen like a mother. At the same time, she was about to plant her pale-blue lips on his forehead.

Zhou Wen continued walking towards the siren in a daze, as though he was unaware of everything. All that was left in his eyes was the reflection of the siren's strange eyes.

The siren's hands were already on Zhou Wen's shoulders and her lips were about to be planted on Zhou Wen's forehead when his originally dull eyes turned clear and limpid. His left hand which was wrapped in a lotus bracer rose up as his palm brought a Astral Slash Blade beam, slicing it straight at the siren's abdomen.

With the augmentation of the lotus bracer, the Astral Slash Blade beam that combined 11 points of Primordial Energy violently struck the belly of the siren, leaving a mark on it. This act stunned the beautiful face of the siren.

Perhaps it was overconfidence or that she didn't expect Zhou Wen to remain clear-headed under her gaze, the siren failed to react completely as she looked at Zhou Wen in disbelief.

However, Zhou Wen didn't hesitate at all. His entire body rose up in an instant. He rained down his fists and knees like a thunderstorm, attacking the vital spots of the siren.

The Mutated Lotus Flower Ant and the Silver-Winged Flying Ant were also summoned by Zhou Wen. They surrounded the siren on both sides, trying hard to severely injure the siren in the shortest time possible so that she wouldn't be capable of counterattacking.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Zhou Wen watched as the arm of the siren moved. Then, he and his two Companion Beasts retreated at the same time, slamming into the seawater waterfall before bouncing back and falling onto the ground.

The siren stared coldly at Zhou Wen, her fingers touching the wound on her abdomen. The wound had strangely healed, not leaving any scars behind.

"Humans are despicable. They do not heed well-meaning advice, forcing me to take action myself." The siren stared coldly at Zhou Wen and swung its tail towards him.

Bam!

The moment the siren finished speaking, a hoof fell from above, knocking her down along with the clamshell. This caused the seawater waterfall, enclosing the living room to collapse, restoring the living room to its original appearance.

Zhou Wen saw that the siren was slumped on the floor and could not stand up no matter how hard she struggled. On her back, the white antelope was standing leisurely with its hooves stepping on her. It was as if it wasn't stepping on a terrifying dimensional creature, but a block of wood.

Zhou Wen didn't say another word as he immediately changed the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant into a bracer and sliced at the siren's neck.

The siren was most likely an Epic creature. No matter what dropped from killing her, it would fetch a good price. This was undoubtedly very tempting for the broke Zhou Wen.

Of course, the main reason was to resolve any possible problems. He couldn't allow such a dangerous dimensional creature to continue living. This was too dangerous for Zhou Wen and his classmates.

"Don't kill me! As long as you're willing to let me go, I can share a huge secret with you," the siren hurriedly shouted.

However, Zhou Wen ignored her and slit her neck with the edge of the lotus bracer. However, it only left a faint red mark on her fair neck. All he managed was a slight laceration.

Zhou Wen was a little shocked. The lotus bracer was already considered a top-notch weapon amongst Legendaries, but it could only tear open a tiny part of her skin. It was probably that this siren was a top existence among Epic creatures.

"Brother Antelope, why don't you help me get rid of her?" Zhou Wen said as he looked at the antelope on the siren's back.

Unless Zhou Wen's Primordial Energy was restored, allowing him to use Astral Slash Blade matched with his lotus bracer, it wouldn't be easy for him to kill this siren.

Upon hearing Zhou Wen's words, the siren hurriedly exclaimed, "I really have a huge secret to share with you. I've obtained the First Order of Chaos from the primordial god, Chaos. If you are willing to let me go, I can share it with you."

"What First Order of Chaos?" Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he looked at the siren on the ground and asked.

Zhou Wen had heard of the name Chaos before. It was a primordial god in Greek mythology. It was the first god to be born in Greek mythology.

It was just that this god was not well-known in the world, but his descendants were famous, ones that many knew.

For example, the third generation god-king from Chaos's family line, Zeus of Olympus; Sea King, Poseidon; the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena; and Sun God, Apollo, were descendants of this god.

Some people said that Chaos was one of the celestial gods of Time, Space, and Space-time. Others said that Chaos was chaos itself. In any case, the status of this god in Greek mythology was akin to the Chinese myth of Pangu's splitting of the primordial egg.

When the siren mentioned this name, Zhou Wen was rather surprised.

Zhou Wen had heard that in some of the dimensional zones in the West District, many dimensional zones related to Zeus and the other gods were found. There were even second-generation Titans found in some dimensional zones. However, he had never heard any news about Chaos.

"The First Order of Chaos is the source of Lord Chaos's power. To you humans, that is Lord Chao's Primordial Energy Art," the siren hurriedly said.

Chapter 124 Crystal Ball

"Did you bring out the First Order of Chaos? Is it the original version?" Zhou Wen didn't really believe that the siren could obtain the original version of Chaos's Primordial Energy Art.

Although to Zhou Wen, the siren was very powerful, she was definitely not a top-notch expert among dimensional creatures. There were too many dimensional creatures that could kill her.

For something as valuable as Chaos's Primordial Energy Art, it was possible if the siren had taken out a copy, but the original copy was probably something not even Mythical experts would move around casually, let alone a mere siren.

However, a copy was useless to Zhou Wen. The Lost Immortal Sutra needed the original version of the Primordial Energy Art to do its magic.

The siren said, "Of course it's the original version. Don't look down on me. Although I'm not strong, Lord Chaos's blood runs through my veins… there's that tiny bit… After getting the First Order of Chaos, I escaped to the East."

"Then where is the First Order of Chaos? Show it to me now. If it's really useful, I can spare your life," Zhou Wen said.

"I can show you the First Order of Chaos, but you have to swear that you will return it to me after you see it and that you will let me leave safely." As the siren spoke, it glanced sideways at the antelope.

The antelope seemed to have some interest in the First Order of Chaos that the Sea Demons mentioned. It bleated out twice as if urging the siren to take it out quickly.

"You don't have the right to bargain. Show me the item. If it's real, I can spare your life," Zhou Wen said coldly.

"Alright." The siren hesitated for a while before clenching its teeth. It reached into the clamshell and pulled it out and handed it to Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen looked over and saw that the siren was holding a crystal ball, but it was different from an ordinary crystal ball. Within it were constantly changing light and shadows.

Night, day, fire, lightning, wind, clouds, sun, moon, and stars kept flashing and disappearing. As they flashed, Zhou Wen could see the characters changing into words, vanishing when the light and darkness crossed each other.

However, he didn't know what those words meant. They were different from the language he had learned in the League-probably an ancient language that predated the League.

Although he couldn't read it, Zhou Wen was shocked to discover that his gaze was still attracted to the words in the crystal ball. He couldn't even look away as his body and mind changed along with the changes in the crystal ball.

It felt as if he had entered the world within the crystal ball, feeling his body assaulted by all kinds of things, burned by flames, and struck by lightning. He shivered in the darkness and sank into the sea.

It wasn't only Zhou Wen. Even the antelope which was also staring fixedly at the crystal ball seemed to suffer from dementia.

Upon seeing this, the siren was delighted as a sinister smile appeared on her face. How can fools like you be able to withstand Lord Chaos's divine powers? Without the bloodline of Lord Chaos, reading the First Order of Chaos in the chaos space is simply courting death.

The siren struggled to get up, hoping to kill Zhou Wen and the antelope who were entranced by the text in the crystal ball.

However, with the antelope's body on her, it was like a mountain. Despite exerting all her strength, there was no way to break free.

Dammit, how is this antelope so strong? Although I was injured before I escaped, I shouldn't be so weak that I can be suppressed by an Epic creature… The siren wasn't anxious despite not being able to break free.

The siren knew very clearly that as long as they spent more time looking at the First Order of Chaos, they would be assimilated very quickly, and would be thrown uncontrollably into the chaos space. All she needed to do was wait patiently for the time to pass.

After waiting for a moment, a look of doubtful shock flashed in the siren's eyes. Zhou Wen was clearly a Mortal stage student, which gave him an upper limit of less than a minute before he should be pulled into the chaos space and be trapped inside.

However, two to three minutes had already passed, and Zhou Wen was still standing there looking at the chaos space. He had no intention of walking forward.

This human is really strange. Thinking back to how her eyes had failed to entrance him, she couldn't help but examine him.

For a Mortal stage to perform as such, she believed that he might have some treasure on him. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he was able to resist her eyes and be able to look at the First Order of Chaos for so long.

As for that antelope, she had already determined that it was an extremely powerful existence. It was not surprising that it could persist for so long.

Thus, an extremely bizarre scene happened in the two-story living room of Zhou Wen's building. An antelope was standing on a mermaid, while a human and antelope were staring intently at the crystal ball held by the mermaid.

Time ticked by. Half an hour later, the siren was certain that Zhou Wen must have an extremely powerful treasure when he still didn't walk towards the crystal ball.

God really watches over me. Not only was I lucky to get the First Order of Chaos, but I actually have a powerful treasure to deliver itself to me. The siren was delighted and wished to immediately free herself from the antelope and search Zhou Wen's body for the treasure.

Suddenly, the antelope on her back moved and slowly walked towards the crystal ball.

"They're finally moving." The siren was overjoyed. She threw the crystal ball into the air, causing it to float far away from her, making the antelope slowly walk towards it, getting off her in the process and giving her freedom.

She had not thrown the crystal ball at the antelope earlier because she was afraid that with it pressing down on her body, it would also pull her into the crystal ball.

The siren didn't take back the crystal ball immediately to deal with the antelope but instead headed straight for Zhou Wen.

Even a powerful creature like the antelope was attracted by the words in the First Order of Chaos, walking towards it involuntarily; yet, Zhou Wen managed to be unfazed by it, affirming her belief that he had a powerful treasure on him-one not weaker than the chaos space.

The siren wriggled her tail impatiently and swam towards Zhou Wen, but at that moment, Zhou Wen, who was standing there like a wooden pole, suddenly moved.

The silver wings behind him spread out like a silver bolt of lightning and flew up into the air, lunging in the direction of the crystal ball where the chaos space was.

The first reaction of the siren was that Zhou Wen finally couldn't withstand the power of the First Order of Chaos and was being attracted over to it.

However, she immediately dismissed such a thought. How could people who were attracted by the First Order of Chaos use Primordial Energy Skills and Companion Beasts?

Zhou Wen was very close to the crystal ball to begin with. Therefore, with the siren's hesitation, he managed to grab onto it with one hand.

"You have a death wish!" The siren didn't panic as she looked at Zhou Wen and sneered.

Without a Chaos bloodline, touching the chaos space would cause one to be sucked into it and be trapped inside forever.

Chapter 125 Chaos Space

Even the siren with some of the Chaos's bloodline couldn't easily touch the chaos space at first. Only after cultivating some of the First Order of Chaos could she use her hands to touch it before fleeing to the East.

However, at the moment Zhou Wen grabbed the crystal ball, the expression of the siren changed.

When he held it, it actually retracted its brilliance and everything within it vanished. The text of the First Order of Chaos naturally vanished as well.

Seeing Zhou Wen play with the chaos space that had lost all its glow in his hands, the siren was dumbfounded.

"Impossible… How is this possible… You are an Eastern creature… You can't possibly have the blood of Lord Chaos…" The siren spoke incoherently, unable to accept the fact that Zhou Wen had control over the chaos space.

"Meh!" With the crystal ball controlled by Zhou Wen, the antelope immediately sobered up. It flew into a rage as it glared at the siren and let out an angry bleat.

The siren shuddered and turned to flee. Unfortunately, it was too late.

The third eye on the antelope's forehead opened and a blinding white light shot out and hit the siren. The latter didn't even let out a cry before it was sucked into the vertical eye of the antelope.

The antelope closed its vertical eye and its mood changed for the better. It had been too careless and thought that nothing would happen with its strength. Yet, it fell for the siren's scheme and almost got sucked into the chaos space.

If it wasn't for Zhou Wen, it would really have perished.

Zhou Wen didn't notice the expression on the antelope's face as he fiddled with the crystal ball in his hand.

It wasn't very big-about the size as a billiard ball. In the beginning, Zhou Wen had indeed been affected by the First Order of Chaos.

Fortunately, after being influenced, the Lost Immortal Sutra slowly stopped its circulation and when it restarted, it had turned into a brand new Primordial Energy Art circulation method-naturally the First Order of Chaos.

In fact, Zhou Wen had already regained his clarity of mind. However, he wasn't a match for the siren and with the crystal ball in her hands, there was no way he could snatch it away from her, much less save the antelope.

Without rescuing the antelope, he still wasn't the siren's match when she regained her freedom, so he could only wait for a chance.

After the siren threw out the crystal ball, Zhou Wen knew that his opportunity had arrived. He snatched the crystal ball and controlled it with the power of the First Order of Chaos Primordial Energy Art, allowing the antelope to regain its lucidity.

This crystal ball was indeed very strange. When Zhou Wen used the power of the First Order of Chaos to control it, he found that its interior was a huge space that could contain infinity.

If he hadn't cultivated the First Order of Chaos, this crystal ball would only allow entry just like a huge prison cell that didn't allow escape.

However, after cultivating the First Order of Chaos, he could control it freely. It wasn't difficult for him to extract something from the chaos space.

Isn't this equivalent to a huge storage space? With a thought, Zhou Wen injected the power of the First Order of Chaos into the crystal ball, causing it to shrink according to his will and it soon became the size of a bean. However, it didn't shrink any further.

Zhou Wen was naturally in a good mood after receiving such a magical crystal ball. However, although the Lost Immortal Sutra had helped him master the First Order of Chaos, it didn't increase any of his attributes. His Strength, Constitution, and Primordial Energy were still at 11 while his Speed remained at 10.

He thought for a moment before carefully taking in the power of the First Order of Chaos and guessed a probable reason.

From what Zhou Wen sensed, the First Order of Chaos obviously had an effect on strengthening his Primordial Energy. However, his Primordial Energy attribute had already been enhanced by the Wordless Monument, so when cultivating a relatively similar First Order of Chaos, it wasn't of much use. He just had an additional Primordial Energy Art to call his own.

If my theory is correct, then I have to cultivate another Primordial Energy skill that improves Speed, to raise my Speed attribute to 11 points. Zhou Wen felt a slight headache.

It was already very difficult to find a Primordial Energy Art, and it had to be one that focused on increasing Speed. The difficulty had increased quite significantly.

The information I found in the library did mention lands of mystery similar to Small Buddha Temple and Mount Laojun, but how can I confirm that the Primordial Energy Arts in that particular land of mystery will increase Speed? Zhou Wen was a little vexed.

Those lands of mystery weren't in Luoyang to begin with, and now there was such a limitation. Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss where to find the Primordial Energy Arts.

I'll wait until after the comprehensive test. Zhou Wen couldn't leave the college now. So even if he had a target in mind, he wasn't able to go.

The antelope sized up Zhou Wen and finally slumped back on the sofa, looking rather listless.

Zhou Wen returned to his room and closed the door. He then took out the crystal ball that was about the size of a soybean and attempted to put things like teacups inside before retrieving them.

It went very smoothly. Be it small items like teacups and spectacle boxes or bigger items like blankets or chairs, they could easily be put inside and retrieved. It was like a particular robot cat's pocket.

However, after Zhou Wen mastered the complete First Order of Chaos, the mysterious light, shadows, and text in the crystal ball didn't appear again. It lost the ability to attract other creatures to enter by themselves.

When Zhou Wen tried putting the mysterious phone into the crystal ball, he realized that it couldn't fit.

After studying it for a while, Zhou Wen put away the crystal ball and went online to search for items like jewelry or accessories.

In the past, all sorts of gemstones, jade, and diamonds were expensive. But now, the prices of those items were very cheap, and ordinary people could buy them.

Especially the price of diamonds, they weren't much more expensive than natural crystals now.

Firstly, it was because diamonds weren't worth much with artificial diamonds capable of replacing the demand for natural diamonds. Furthermore, in this era, people were more willing to spend money on Companion Eggs and dimensional crystals. This caused the price of diamonds to naturally drop drastically.

Now, an increasing number of high-level jewelry was made with dimensional crystals. Anyone who had a bit of money wouldn't wear ordinary diamonds.

Zhou Wen was trying to hide the crystal ball inside an accessory. It was easy for others to suspect a single crystal, but it was difficult to feel any problems when the crystal was surrounded by several inlaid crystals similar to it. After all, the chaos space crystal ball usually looked no different from ordinary crystals.

After some choosing, Zhou Wen chose a silver bracelet made of natural crystals and diamonds.

Chapter 126 Bracelet

As Zhou Wen had deliberately chosen a seller in the same city, the silver bracelet he had bought over the Internet was delivered the next afternoon. When he went to the school gates to get the delivery, he saw Ah Sheng driving up.

"Young Master Wen, Madam has ordered some dishes at a restaurant and wishes you to have a meal with her." Ah Sheng was so polite that it was embarrassing to reject him.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment. Since he was going to the restaurant and not the An family's residence, there was no harm in him going.

The bracelet didn't take up much space, so Zhou Wen didn't return to the dormitory first and got into Ah Sheng's car.

"Young Master Wen, rest for a while. It'll take about half an hour before we reach the place," Ah Sheng started the car and said to Zhou Wen as he drove.

"Aren't you An Tianzuo's adjutant? Why do you always work for Sister Lan?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.

Ah Sheng smiled and said, "I'm the Overseer's adjutant. Other than my usual duties, I'm also in charge of taking care of the Overseer's life as well as the safety of the An family. You can think of me as half a butler of the An family."

Zhou Wen nodded and didn't say anything more. As half an hour was just too long, he thought for a moment and opened the accessory box and took out the silver bracelet.

The bracelet looked beautiful and exquisite. On it was quite a number of diamonds and crystals. Zhou Wen had only bought it after looking at the dimensions, so the size of the crystals was basically the same as the chaos space crystal ball.

Zhou Wen carefully removed one of the crystals and then embedded the chaos space crystal ball. It looked perfect, and he couldn't see any flaws.

With the diamonds forming a contrast, the crystal ball wasn't eye-catching. Most people wouldn't purposely take note of the crystals on

it.

After trying it on his wrist, he found a problem. The Space Crystal Pearl was indeed inconspicuous, but wearing this bracelet on a man's wrist seemed a little too conspicuous.

The silver is a little too shiny and it's not hard enough. It breaks easily so I think I'll buy another bracelet made of carbide later, Zhou Wen thought to himself and took the bracelet off and put it in the box.

The box was a little too big to permit him to put it in his pocket, so Zhou Wen could only hold it in his hand.

When he arrived at the restaurant, he realized that An Jing was also there.

"Little Wen, come over quickly. The dishes have already been ordered. We're just waiting for you." Ouyang Lan pulled Zhou Wen to sit beside her naturally.

Although Zhou Wen didn't have a good impression of An Jing, he didn't care too much about it. Since he was already here, he might as well sit down and accompany Ouyang Lan and leave after the meal.

An Jing sat on the other side of Ouyang Lan. She glanced at Zhou Wen but didn't say a word. She had an arrogant and cold expression.

Ah Sheng had already ordered the staff to serve the dishes. Before they were served, Ouyang Lan saw the box in Zhou Wen's hand and asked, "Little Wen, what are you carrying?"

Zhou Wen thought to himself, It's not a bad idea to let Ouyang Lan take a look too. If she doesn't notice anything, it would be even harder for others to notice anything amiss.

"I bought a bracelet. Sister Lan, take a look." Zhou Wen handed the box over to Ouyang Lan.

Ouyang Lan took the box and opened it to take a look. It was a silver bracelet worn by a lady. Although it was not an expensive item, its design was quite unique.

"Little Wen, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. Is this a birthday present for Little Jing? I didn't plan on telling you that it's her birthday today and just wanted to invite you to a meal. I never expected you to get her a gift." Ouyang Lan really imagined that Zhou Wen had bought a present.

If not, why would a man like him bring a female bracelet here?

Zhou Wen was stunned when he heard that. He didn't know that he had bought a female bracelet since he only bought it because the dimensions for embedding the chaos space crystal ball was perfect.

If Ouyang Lan hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that this was a female bracelet.

An Jing also thought that Zhou Wen had really bought this bracelet for her. She felt a little ashamed in her heart. Zhou Wen is quite a nice person. I went a little overboard in the past. Should I find a chance to apologize?

Just as An Jing was thinking about this, she suddenly heard Zhou Wen say, "Sis Lan, I didn't know it was An Jing's birthday today. This isn't a gift for her."

An Jing's expression froze. For a moment, she had mixed, conflicted feelings.

Ouyang Lan hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You bought such a pretty bracelet. Is there a girl you like?"

Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "I bought the wrong item. I bought a male bracelet myself and ended up buying a female one. I'll have to return it later."

This little rascal, he's like an impervious rock. Zhou Lingfeng is so good at reading people, so how did he give birth to such a brat? Ouyang Lan felt a little despondent hearing Zhou Wen's words. Since you bought the wrong item and have no intention of giving it to someone else, can't you just give it to An Jing? It's not like a bracelet costs much.

How could Ouyang Lan know that there was a chaos space crystal ball embedded in the bracelet? How could Zhou Wen give it to An Jing?

This meal was very awkward. Ouyang Lan didn't have a solution either. After quickly finishing the meal, she got Ah Sheng to take Zhou Wen back first.

After Zhou Wen returned to the dormitory, he immediately ordered another bracelet online. This time, Zhou Wen was more careful and confirmed that it was a male bracelet. He even specially chose a carbide bracelet.

After Zhou Wen received the new bracelet, he embedded the chaos space crystal ball into it and found it very suitable. Even if he looked closely, it was difficult to distinguish the chaos space crystal bead from the diamonds and natural crystals.

Moreover, most people wouldn't be able to see him wearing a bracelet with his sleeves usually covering it.

After much effort, Zhou Wen finally managed to settle the bracelet. The date for the comprehensive test was already nearing.

He had not seen Li Xuan for days, perhaps a result of him working hard to improve his strength. He had the Li family backing him, so he had endless numbers of dimensional crystals and Companion Eggs. Raising his stats and contracting powerful Legendary Companion Beasts wasn't a difficult task. It was expected that his strength would soar extremely quickly.

Only on the day of the comprehensive test did Zhou Wen realize how many students Sunset College had. The dense horde of people probably numbered more than ten thousand.

There were four special zones on the field. In one area, there were about a hundred pots with scorching hot oil. Blue smoke emitted from them as though it would ignite at any moment.

In another zone, there was a hundred-meter-long bridge made with thirty-centimeter-wide calligraphic paper. It was probably the testing venue for crossing the paper bridge.

The other two testing venues were quite far from Zhou Wen, he could only see a few stone tripod cauldrons and nothing else.

"Old Zhou, how were your preparations? Are you confident of entering the top ten?" Li Xuan came to Zhou Wen's side and threw his arm around his shoulder.

Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, one of the group of female seniors beside them said with a laugh, "Juniors, you guys are really amusing. You want to get into the top ten as freshmen? Nice dreams and aspirations. Here's me wishing you all the best as a senior."

Chapter 127 Comprehensive Test

"Seniors, since you think so highly of us, why don't we be friends? We should work on our communication for pure friendship at school…" Li Xuan used this opportunity to chat with the seniors as he walked over.

Just as they were happily chatting and Li Xuan was about to take a step further, they suddenly heard a commotion from the students. It was as though many female seniors were talking about a particular Brother Wei[1].

"Ah! Brother Wei… Brother Wei…" The female seniors who had been conversing with Li Xuan suddenly ignored him and began waving their hands in a different direction.

"F*ck, when did Sunset College become so liberal?" Li Xuan was puzzled as he turned his head to look in the direction where the female seniors were waving their hands. He saw a boy walking towards the stage to speak on behalf of the students.

When he saw the boy's appearance, Li Xuan said with a tinge of jealousy, "So what if you're president of the student council? You're only two years ahead of us. I'll be running for student council president later. I'll also be president."

"Is he very strong?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Not bad I guess. The student council president of Sunset College usually has the strength to squeeze into the school's top three. Before we arrived, this Wei Ge was considered the second strongest in the college. His Life Providence was about being all-rounded in both academics and martial arts. He is extremely fast at learning and mastering things when others need to spend a lot of time practicing. From martial arts and weapons to theoretical knowledge, he has never gotten second place after entering Sunset College."

"Since he has never gotten second, why do you call him the second strongest?" Zhou Wen asked, perplexed.

Li Xuan chuckled and said, "He hasn't been second before, but he has been beaten up badly by someone. However, that person was the weirdo, Huang Ji. Now, the situation is different. The two of us are here in Sunset College, so he can only be fourth in the future."

After Wei Ge delivered his speech, he did a demonstration for all the students in the four tests, mainly to teach the freshmen how the test was to be held.

In the coin fishing in oil pots, there were a total of 100 pots with boiling oil inside. However, the 100 pots were split into ten groups. Each group had 10 oil pots, and the further back the oil pots were, the higher the temperature.

Normally, if one could pull out a coin from the pot with the lowest temperature, it would be considered a pass.

"This test is very dangerous. Before choosing it, you must consider it carefully. Even if you have decided to participate in it, please start with the oil pot with the lowest temperature," said Wei Ge as he summoned a Companion Beast-a black-furred gorilla.

"This is a Blackiron Gorilla at the Mortal stage. Its Constitution is at about 9 points, so it's considered top-notch among the Mortal stage." With that said, Wei Ge ordered the Blackiron Gorilla to fish out the coin from the first oil pot. However, just as its claws reached into the pot, it screamed.

The Blackiron Gorilla screamed as it retracted its claw, but the fur on it had already blistered. It looked very scary, and there was even a faint meat fragrance.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they saw this. Those students who were originally hoping to try their luck immediately gave up on the idea of choosing this test.

"I believe everyone has seen it. You must be careful when choosing this option. Next, I will demonstrate it for everyone." Wei Ge smiled as he rolled up his sleeve. A red tattoo appeared on his smooth arm-a red-scaled snake.

Following Wei Ge's summoning, the red-scaled snake tattoo on his arm seemed to come alive. It transformed into a red-scaled bracer that wrapped his entire arm and palm. Then, Wei Ge extended his hand into the oil pot and took out a coin as if nothing had happened.

Following that, Wei Ge demonstrated the remaining three options, but he only did it for the lowest difficulty, mainly to let the freshmen know how the options were tested.

Out of the four options, only crossing the paper bridge did not have any ranking. All the paper bridges were 100 meters long, and the results were determined by the time it took for one to cross. Tearing the calligraphic paper meant zero points.

Besides, one was not allowed to use flying Companion Beasts when crossing the paper bridge and had to walk on paper. Therefore, this was a huge obstacle for many students.

After Wei Ge's demonstration, the students started signing up for the options they were participating in. Each of them had to declare at least two, and of course, they could select all four.

Zhou Wen and Li Xuan declared that they were taking all four options as they wanted to enter the top ten. Therefore, not only did they need to complete the four options, but they also had to obtain good results.

These four options didn't seem easy to Zhou Wen. It wasn't difficult to pass, but it wasn't easy to obtain a high score.

However, the first student who went up on stage chose to fish the coin from the oil pot. Furthermore, he walked straight to the hottest pot in the row of ten. He casually stood in front of the pot and rolled up his sleeve. He did not use a Companion Beast, but his arm had a metallic sheen. It was unknown what Primordial Energy Skill he used as he extended his hand into the pot and pulled out a coin.

"That guy's name is Wu Jun. He also has a younger sister named Wu Nan. It's very difficult to see the siblings in action. However, they have unfathomable strength," Li Xuan told Zhou Wen.

Wu Jun's performance gave many of the students who had been frightened earlier, hope. In the end, a freshman chose to fish the coin, believing that his Primordial Energy Skill could help him pass. However, just the lowest temperature pot scalded his hand. Luckily, there were doctors present to provide him emergency treatment.

After Wei Ge's demonstration, he watched from the side. When he saw Feng Qiuyan choose to cross the paper bridge and obtain excellent results, breaking the previous record, he came to Feng Qiuyan's side with a smile.

"Feng Qiuyan, I've heard so much about you. Are you interested in joining the student council?" Wei Ge asked with a smile.

The students beside them looked at Feng Qiuyan with envy. Those who could join the student council were all the college's top students. Normally, they would have to apply to join. Yet, the student council president, Wei Ge, personally invited him. To the typical student, it was a great honor.

"Not interested," Feng Qiuyan replied expressionlessly as he walked past Wei Ge.

Wei Ge only smiled. Those who were capable all had some character. He could understand that, but at the same time, he firmly believed that it was only a matter of time before Feng Qiuyan joined the student council.

He turned to look at Feng Qiuyan and realized that he was actually walking towards Li Xuan.

Wei Ge naturally recognized Li Xuan, a famous scion from Luoyang City. He couldn't help but be surprised that with Feng Qiuyan's temper, he would actually have ties with Li Xuan. It was truly unbelievable.

However, Wei Ge soon discovered that Feng Qiuyan was not looking for Li Xuan, but the boy standing beside him.

Chapter 128 The Rejected Wei Ge

With a careful look, Wei Ge recognized Zhou Wen. As the president of the student council, he paid attention to the top freshmen.

Wei Ge had already carefully studied Zhou Wen and Li Xuan's battle of the Mutated Buddha Heart Lotus, as well as the video of him slaying the word-engraved Demonized General.

Zhou Wen's performance was indeed good, but it also exposed some problems. Therefore, Wei Ge had only placed Zhou Wen on a list of possible nominees as student council members. As for whether he would invite him to join in the future, it also depended on what Life Providence he obtained after he advanced to the Legendary stage.

Li Xuan was talking to Zhou Wen when he saw Feng Qiuyan walking over. He found it odd, but ended up seeing Feng Qiuyan walk straight towards Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen's heart skipped a beat when he saw Feng Qiuyan. Could it be that Feng Qiuyan found out that I was just being perfunctory with him and came to settle scores with me?

"Coach, when's the next class?" Feng Qiuyan asked Zhou Wen.

"Wait, coach? What's happening?" Li Xuan widened his eyes as he looked at Feng Qiuyan and Zhou Wen.

Upon hearing Feng Qiuyan's words, Zhou Wen's hanging heart eased. He said to Feng Qiuyan, "First, master what I said previously. We'll talk about the rest later."

"Alright." Feng Qiuyan agreed and sat down beside him.

"Old Zhou, what's going on?" Li Xuan felt like a cat was clawing at his curiosity. He really couldn't understand why Feng Qiuyan was acquainted with Zhou Wen and addressed him as coach.

"It's nothing. It's just that Feng Qiuyan invited me to be his personal coach and tailor a training plan for him," Zhou Wen said casually.

After Li Xuan heard this, the way he looked at Zhou Wen became even odder. With Feng Qiuyan by his side, it wasn't appropriate for him to say anything. However, he thought to himself, What the hell. Feng Qiuyan can hire any coach. It's not difficult even finding an Epic expert as a personal coach for him. Why would he find a student from the same school? Furthermore, Zhou Wen hasn't even advanced to the Legendary stage. Is Feng Qiuyan bonkers to hire him as a coach?

Li Xuan sat there uneasily, eager to know what had happened between Zhou Wen and Feng Qiuyan; however, it wasn't the best place to ask him.

When Wei Ge saw Feng Qiuyan sitting beside Zhou Wen, he was somewhat surprised, but he didn't think too much about it.

Seeing that Wang Lu had finally appeared on the field and had just registered for the tests she was taking, Wei Ge hurriedly went up to her and smiled like a gentleman. "Wang Lu, I'm the student council president, Wei Ge. I wish to invite you to join the student council…"

"Sorry, I don't plan on joining any club." Wang Lu politely rejected Wei Ge before walking towards Zhou Wen as well.

Wei Ge was not surprised that Wang Lu had rejected him, because her family background was obvious. Others might think highly of the student council's connections and influence, but Wang Lu had no need for it.

However, when Wei Ge saw that Wang Lu had actually walked over to Zhou Wen and exchanged a few words with him before sitting down beside him, he couldn't help but be alarmed.

When Wei Ge saw An Jing, he didn't mention the invitation to her. He just went up to greet her to acquaint himself with her.

Sunset College was originally under the An family, so if she were to join the student council, she would definitely become president. When that happened, he would have to step down to the rank of vice president, so Wei Ge naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing

Fortunately, after all this time, An Jing hadn't shown any intention of joining the student council. This relaxed Wei Ge a lot more.

An Jing nodded politely as a response to Wei Ge before walking towards Zhou Wen again.

What the hell is wrong with that punk? He's only been in Sunset College for a month, yet he already has such connections? Wei Ge was secretly alarmed as he couldn't help but think more highly of Zhou Wen.

An Jing came in front of Zhou Wen. She looked at him and said, "If you can get into the top 100 at the comprehensive test, I'll count you as winning the bet."

With that, she walked away.

Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback before recalling the three-month declaration An Jing had made with him. However, he hadn't taken it to heart. So if she hadn't mentioned it at that moment, he would have already forgotten it.

"What bet?" Li Xuan probed, his eagerness for gossip rearing its head.

"Nothing." Zhou Wen shook his head without saying a word.

Wei Ge sized up Zhou Wen from a distance, wondering how he could pull him onto the student council. Since Zhou Wen had such connections, it would be of great help to the student council's future development if he could get him on the student council.

Wei Ge could also use Zhou Wen's connections, perhaps to break into Wang Lu's and An Jing's circle.

As he was thinking, he saw Huang Ji walking over from the front. Wei Ge immediately changed directions, unwilling to meet Huang Ji.

In this school, the person he hated the most and also didn't dare provoke the most was Huang Ji. In the past, he had wanted to rope Huang Ji onto the student council but had been rejected. Later, he used some tricks, only to realize that Huang Ji was much more powerful than he had imagined. This ended up in him being beaten up.

The school knew that Huang Ji had beaten him up, but they did not know why.

Ever since that time, Wei Ge would circle around Huang Ji when he saw him. He had stopped thinking of roping Huang Ji onto the student council again. Moreover, he did not think that anyone had such a pull with Huang Ji.

After Wei Ge circled around Huang Ji and looked back, he saw Zhou Wen stand up and wave at Huang Ji, as though he was beckoning for him to head over.

By then, Huang Ji had already taken a seat. With Wei Ge's understanding of him, he believed that Huang Ji definitely wouldn't bother with Zhou Wen.

However, to his surprise, Huang Ji actually got up and walked over after hearing Zhou Wen calling out to him. When he arrived beside Zhou Wen, he began chatting very warmly with him.

Wei Ge was dumbfounded. What's going on? That weirdo Huang Ji can actually chat with someone for so long?

He had no idea that the reason Huang Ji was chatting with Zhou Wen for so long was that Zhou Wen was talking about his game and investment. That was why Huang Ji was so interested.

This first-year freshman, Zhou Wen, needs serious observation. Wei Ge felt that it was necessary to reassess Zhou Wen again. If possible, he had to rope him onto the student council and be under his service.

Not long after, Wei Ge saw Hui Haifeng and Nana walk over to Zhou Wen's side with a few high-ranking students. They seemed to be having a great chat with Zhou Wen and company, and his heart skipped a beat.

By right, since he was the student council president, there shouldn't be anyone in Sunset College who could compete with him. However, Hui Haifeng was an exception.

If Wei Ge was a classic model student at Sunset College, Hui Haifeng was a typical bad role model. Most of the students around him were people who didn't abide by the rules.

Chapter 129 Perfect Score

Sunset College is indeed one of the best schools in the East District. There are just too many formidable people around. Li Xuan couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw someone raise the heaviest stone tripod cauldron.

Zhou Wen had roughly guessed that based on the present situation, the two of them had to obtain perfect scores on at least two tests before they could enter the top ten.

Hui Haifeng and Feng Qiuyan had already passed the test, each scoring full marks on three and nine points on the fourth. Hui Haifeng was one point short of crossing the paper bridge and Feng Qiuyan was one point short in the coin fishing test.

As Li Xuan expected, Wang Lu had indeed advanced to the Legendary stage. Like An Jing, she had obtained 4 perfect scores very easily.

Huang Ji hadn't taken the test, but considering how he had beaten up Wei Ge previously, Zhou Wen knew that it was highly likely that Huang Ji would receive four perfect scores as well.

There were already five people in the top ten. In addition, there were Wu Jun and Wu Nan who had outstanding performances, leaving three spots left.

na

"That's not right. There are only two slots left. That Wei Ge will definitely score four perfect scores," warned Li Xuan.

"In that case, we need to obtain four perfect scores to safely enter the top ten," Zhou Wen pondered for a moment before saying and basically giving up.

After all, he had yet to advance to the Legendary stage. He could only rely on his Companion Beasts, so it was very difficult for him to score high.

Hui Haifeng, Wang Lu, and company looked at Zhou Wen and Li Xuan with smiles. They had already received their results, so they were all waiting to see the duo's performance.

"We have to give it a try no matter what," Li Xuan said through clenched teeth. The situation was worse than he had expected.

When the staff called out Zhou Wen's name, he had no choice but to head to the venue with oil pots to fish out a coin. Just as he was about to register with the staff and head on up, he was stopped by someone.

"Zhou Wen, mind if we have a chat?" Wei Ge said with a smile.

"How may I help you?" Zhou Wen stopped and asked Wei Ge.

"Let the other students take the test first. Let's have a chat at the side." Wei Ge led Zhou Wen to a quiet spot.

"Feel free to speak your mind," Zhou Wen said.

"Zhou Wen, you haven't advanced to the Legendary stage yet, right? Are you confident of getting into the top ten?" Wei Ge said when he saw Zhou Wen looking at him suspiciously. "Don't misunderstand me. I don't have any other intentions. I just feel that you are a talent. It'll be a pity if you can't get into the top ten because of your stage."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen looked at Wei Ge in puzzlement, unsure what he was getting at.

"The student council still has an empty spot for vice president. I admire you very much and wish to recommend you to be the vice president of the student council." Wei Ge paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "As a member of the student council, I will naturally do my best to help you. Perhaps it will help you enter the top 10 in the comprehensive test."

"Thank you for your kind intentions. However, I've already made an agreement with Li Xuan to organize a club on my own," Zhou Wen said.

Sunset College had a clear rule that students who had already joined a club could not become members of the student council. This was to prevent some clubs from using the power of the student council to seek personal gains.

"Is that so? That's such a pity. The doors of the student council will always be open to you. If you ever change your mind, hit me up anytime." Wei Ge looked saddened but did not say anything else.

Zhou Wen went to the staff to register before heading to the first test venue— fishing a coin from a pot of boiling oil.

"President, will Zhou Wen become the second Hui Haifeng?" a student council member standing beside Wei Ge whispered.

Wei Ge didn't answer him. He thought for a moment and asked, "Were you in charge of setting up the venue?"

"Yes, it was all set up by our student council. Didn't you arrange for it?" Zheng Tianlun was puzzled.

"I didn't arrange for you to tamper with it, right?" Wei Ge narrowed his eyes at Zheng Tianlun.

Zheng Tianlun's forehead immediately broke out into a cold sweat. He forced a smile and said, "As expected, I can't hide anything from you, President. I was just trying to help some friends out. I wasn't trying anything else since all they wanted was a pass."

Wei Ge said indifferently, "You don't have to worry. I didn't say anything before, and I won't say anything now, but I need your help with something."

"If there's anything, President, please instruct us. We will definitely do it well," Zheng Tianlun hurriedly said.

"The difficulty of Zhou Wen's options should be lowered. The lower the level, the better. It's best if he gets 4 perfect scores," commented Wei Ge.

Zheng Tianlun asked with a puzzled look, "President, that Zhou Wen has already rejected you. Why are you still helping him?"

"Rejection doesn't make him an enemy. This person isn't simple. There's no harm in doing him a favor." Wei Ge smiled at Zhou Wen when he said that. He didn't say certain things.

If he were to become an enemy in the future, this matter might become a skeleton in the closet for Zhou Wen.

Cheating was a serious matter at Sunset College. The punishment ranged from having a black mark on their records to being expelled.

"Alright, I'll do it now. However, all we can do is adjust it within a certain range. If it's at the Mortal stage, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get a perfect score," Zheng Tianlun said after some thought.

"Just do what needs to be done. Remember, I don't know anything," Wei Ge said.

"I got it, President. Don't worry, this has nothing to do with you at all," Zheng Tianlun said hurriedly.

Zhou Wen came to the oil pot and was rather cautious. He began with the pot that had the lowest temperature.

"How many points do you think Zhou Wen will get?" Li Xuan asked Hui Haifeng.

Hui Haifeng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Normally, without advancing to the Legendary stage, he won't have any Legendary Companion Beasts or Primordial Energy Skills. Fishing out a coin from the fifth pot is already quite impressive. However, Zhou Wen is somewhat abnormal. He might have some unexpected results."

"It's about the same as I expected. With his abilities, I think he should be able to obtain around seven points. It will be a little difficult to get any higher." Li Xuan knew Zhou Wen quite well.

In fact, Zhou Wen had roughly estimated getting such a score. Although the Lotus Flower Buddha Body could protect him, it was a Primordial Energy Skill that augmented his entire body. It was inferior to Primordial Energy Skills that specialized in augmenting one's arm.

Furthermore, his Constitution wasn't comparable to those at the Legendary stage. The latter might not even be able to obtain ten points, so Zhou Wen estimated that he would get about seven or eight.

However, when Zhou Wen tried the oil pots one by one, he realized that the temperature of the pot wasn't as high as he imagined. He had managed to successfully take out a coin from the final pot and obtained full marks without any surprises.

Although it was thanks to the lotus flower bracer, Zhou Wen still felt that something was amiss.

What? Looks like the test isn't that difficult. Li Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhou Wen easily obtain a perfect score.

He was just after Zhou Wen in fishing out the coin. Seeing how Zhou Wen had easily scored a perfect ten, he didn't bother wasting any more time as he directly headed straight for the tenth pot.

To Li Xuan's surprise, when he extended his hand into the pot, believing that his Immortal God of Combat Life Providence and Invincible Connate Divine Art could protect him, he let out a loud cry. He hurriedly pulled out his hand only to see his skin scalded red.

Chapter 130 Peerless Genius?

Impossible! How can Zhou Wen fish out a coin, while I can't? Li Xuan's expression was one of disbelief.

However, the results of this option were set in stone. Li Xuan couldn't even fish out a single coin, putting his result at zero. Even if he received a perfect score on the other three options, there was no way he could squeeze into the top ten.

Li Xuan felt a sense of regret. If he hadn't been careless and bore with it, he could have taken out the coin. After all, with the Immortal God of War Life Providence, his hand wouldn't be crippled.

One false step will lead to everlasting grief! Li Xuan nearly cried.

Zhou Wen successfully passed the subsequent tests. Other than crossing the paper bridge at a slower speed, he obtained a perfect score on the other three options.

Instantly, the entire school broke out into a flurry of discussion. People were trying to find out more about Zhou Wen. A freshman at the Mortal stage had actually received three 10s and one 9. They were basically certain that he could enter the top ten. The results were really shocking

Although Wang Lu, An Jing, and Feng Qiuyan were freshmen, they had already advanced to the Legendary stage. It was understandable for them to have such results. It was shocking for Zhou Wen, who was at the Mortal stage, to obtain such results.

Instantly, the reputation of the peerless genius Zhou Wen spread throughout the school, but there were also teachers who had their doubts.

They had seen their fair share of geniuses, but none of them could achieve such results at the Mortal stage.

The person who had the greatest suspicions was Wang Fei. She had wanted Zhou Wen to be stirred up by the comprehensive test and see if he could pull himself together, but to her surprise, Zhou Wen had managed to enter the top ten and even obtained the qualifications to enter Providence Palace. She thought this was unacceptable.

However, all the tests were carried out in front of everyone. Zhou Wen wasn't the first or the last one. People before and after him used the same equipment, so there wasn't any evidence to explain it away with cheating.

"It doesn't make sense… This doesn't make sense… Why did I only get three 9S… Yet, you obtained three 10s and a 9…" Li Xuan really couldn't accept this outcome.

In fact, Li Xuan wasn't the only one who couldn't accept it. Zhou Wen also knew that his results were absolutely problematic. On the Strength test, Zhou Wen knew very well that he couldn't lift the tenth stone tripod cauldron; yet, he had managed to raise it in the end. Furthermore, he felt that the tenth stone tripod wasn't any heavier than the ninth. It was impossible that there wasn't something fishy about it.

How could Zhou Wen know that electromagnetic devices were installed at the bottom of the stone cauldron and the platform beneath them? Zheng Tianlun could control the power needed to lift the stone cauldron to a certain extent.

The other tests had also been tampered with. However, they were done in an extremely unnoticeable fashion. Even the teachers did not know that the venue had already been tampered with during the setup.

After the comprehensive test ended, the venue was dismantled, so no one would realize anything

All of this was something Zheng Tianlun had actually prepared for himself, hoping to use these methods to enter the top ten, but after he was exposed by Wei Ge, he didn't dare continue with the tampering. This ended up benefiting Zhou Wen.

This resulted in Zhou Wen inexplicably gaining the reputation of a genius. When Wei Ge specially came to congratulate him, he even winked at him, making Zhou Wen, who had originally suspected Wei Ge, confirm his theory.

Indeed, it was Wei Ge who tampered with it. But why did he do that? Is it to rope in a freshman to join the student council? Zhou Wen was perplexed.

Regardless, Zhou Wen was famous in Sunset College. Since its establishment over the years, no Mortal-stage student had such results.

As expected of Coach. Feng Qiuyan had zero doubts, believing that it was all Zhou Wen's true strength, so his determination at getting him to be his personal coach became firmer.

Although there were people who had their doubts, they could only keep quiet because of a lack of evidence.

Finally, the top ten spots were confirmed. Without any surprises, Zhou Wen successfully entered the top ten and obtained the qualification to enter Providence Palace.

"Old Zhou, I really can't accept it. Other things aside, your Strength definitely isn't as great as mine. It doesn't make sense that you could lift the tenth stone tripod cauldron, but I couldn't." Li Xuan's face was filled with resentment.

"That's life for you." What else could Zhou Wen say?

Thankfully, Li Xuan wasn't really bothered by the spot. All he did was gripe at Zhou Wen.

"I'm not bragging, but Zhou Wen is a genius amongst geniuses. Back when we were in Guide High School, everyone in our school knew that Zhou Wen was a genius. You know Ascetic Meditation, right? With how difficult it is to cultivate, the typical person won't even gain a basic mastery in Primordial Energy without a couple of years, even if they have Primordial Energy Crystals. Yet, Zhou Wen forcibly mastered it without using a single Primordial Energy Crystal…" Tian Xiangdong's saliva splattered as he described anecdotes of Zhou Wen's past during high school to other students.

Without Zhou Wen even realizing it, he had become an iconic figure amongst Sunset College's freshmen and was regarded as the most promising freshman in Sunset College.

Although this wasn't the outcome Zhou Wen wished to see, obtaining the qualifications to enter Providence Palace was a pleasant surprise for him.

The second day after the comprehensive test ended was the day Zhou Wen and the other nine students entered Providence Palace. All of them received a token given by the school, and under the leadership of a counselor, they arrived at the legendary Providence Palace.

Providence Palace was more magnificent than the Forbidden City. After becoming a dimensional zone, it gave people the feeling that it was magnificent and majestic. Although it was underground, it did not hinder Zhou Wen and the other students from marveling at the greatness of the ancient culture.

Outside the entrance, Zhou Wen and company were waiting for it to open. Wang Lu looked around curiously. "This place is about a thousand meters deep and is surrounded by rocks. Where did those legendary treasures come from?"

"Other dimensions, obviously. Do you really think there are ghosts?" Hui Haifeng said with a smile.

It wasn't Wei Ge's first time here, so he explained, "Those treasures float out of the dimensional rifts before flying into Providence Palace. There is no lack of precious, rare treasures. However, the typical rare treasures are only collectibles that can only be exchanged for money. The truly precious ones are the Companion Eggs and dimensional crystals. Among them are things that the East District doesn't have. If you are lucky enough, you might obtain a Companion Egg like an elf or an angel. They are pretty good selections."

"How does one know what type of Companion Eggs they are?" asked Wang Lu curiously.

"I really do not know. Let's not talk about identifying Companion Eggs, it's hard to even choose one," said Wei Ge.

"Why?" Wang Lu was a little confused.

"Because all the treasures are in boxes. All we can see are those boxes. We don't even know what's inside. Once the box is chosen, we won't be able to change it. Therefore, we can only rely on luck to choose something," Hui Haifeng explained.

Chapter 131 Treasure Selection

Zhou Wen had been searching for the tiny palm symbol the entire time, but he hadn't found it. He had scrutinized the building that housed the city gates countless times, but he had failed to find it.

However, other than the entrance, there were only city walls with no sign of the tiny palm symbol.

Is the tiny palm symbol in Providence Palace? Zhou Wen looked at the tightly shut door of Providence Palace and thought, If it were really in Providence Palace, that would be troublesome. Every year, the Providence Palace only opens its gates once a day. However, the counselors have repeatedly exhorted us not to enter. In the past, there were experts at the Epic stage who had entered the Providence Palace on this day without being able to exit. Furthermore, I'm only at the Mortal stage.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, he suddenly heard the melodious and solemn music from within Providence Palace.

Accompanied by the music, it was as if the city gates, that had been sealed shut for centuries, were slowly opening. The city gate was filled with a brilliant purple glow, so blinding that it was hard for anyone to look straight at it.

Before Zhou Wen and company could see what stood beyond the city gates, the underground space suddenly emitted a blinding light that resembled holy light from the spatial rifts.

Then, they saw an inconceivable sight. They saw large and small boxes flying out from the spatial rifts.

There were exquisite wooden boxes, boxes filled with antiquity, and green and snow-white jade boxes. There were also large metal chests.

There were also gold and silver boxes with gems embedded in them. They looked dazzling and exquisite. The girls stared at them, almost entranced.

There were many gift boxes. In just a moment, more than a thousand boxes flew towards the entrance in a line. Just like the legends said, there seemed to be invisible ghosts dragging them into the entrance.

"There are so many boxes. How should I choose one?" Feng Qiuyan frowned.

"You can only rely on luck. There's no other way." Hui Haifeng took a large stride towards a golden box with all sorts of gems embedded in it. He took out his token and lightly tapped the small golden box with the token. The small golden box stopped floating in midair having lost its support as it fell to the ground.

Hui Haifeng immediately reached out and held onto the small golden box, then returned. He was very decisive.

Zhou Wen looked at the gift boxes that numbered more than ten thousand. He really didn't know which one to choose from. At that moment, Wang Lu said to Zhou Wen, "My luck has always been good. If you need it, I can help you choose one."

When Wang Lu said this, she was brimming with confidence. It was as if she would definitely be able to choose something good.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then." Zhou Wen was extremely disappointed having failed at finding the tiny palm symbol. Choosing a box held little meaning for him.

If he couldn't download the Providence Palace dungeon, the probability of choosing a gift box with a Companion Egg in it was just too low.

To be able to choose a gift box with a high-level Companion Egg was even more difficult.

Zhou Wen never had luck with gambling, so it didn't matter whether he chose it or not. He couldn't be bothered to waste his time and energy and casually threw the token to Wang Lu.

Even if he had to choose it himself, he could only randomly pick one. It was no different from letting Wang Lu choose one. He might as well save some time to see if he could find the tiny palm symbol.

"Anyone else need my help?" Wang Lu looked at the others and asked.

"Since we are already here, it's all down to luck anyway. It's better to choose one yourself," Wei Ge said with a smile.

The others obviously liked to hold their own fate in their hands, so no one planned on letting Wang Lu choose for them.

Other than Hui Haifeng who had already made his selection, the others began to observe the boxes, hoping that they could find some clues.

Zhou Wen was also observing, but he was looking into Providence Palace to see if he could find the tiny palm symbol.

Unfortunately, it was filled with a screen of resplendent divine light. All he could see was gift boxes flying in, but he couldn't see what was on the inside.

However, Wang Lu had no intention of seriously choosing. She treated the two tokens as darts and threw them into the row of boxes.

With two clangs, two boxes were knocked to the ground by her random throw.

Wang Lu grinned as she ran over and carried the two gift boxes back, handing one to Zhou Wen.

The gift box was carved out of wood. It was about thirty centimeters wide on all sides, and there were cloud patterns engraved on it. Other than that, there was nothing else.

Zhou Wen wasn't in the mood to see what was inside. After receiving the box, he stuffed it into his bag and continued gazing into the palace.

"Aren't you going to open it?" Wang Lu said.

"There's no need. It doesn't matter what it is," Zhou Wen said casually.

Wang Lu was a little displeased that Zhou Wen didn't care about it. Seeing that everyone was choosing their boxes and that no one was paying any attention to them, she said to Zhou Wen, "Don't think that I just randomly chose it. My luck is really good. The items I inside will definitely be good."

"Yes, thank you," Zhou Wen said perfunctorily.

Wang Lu was incensed when she saw Zhou Wen's perfunctory manner. She glared at him hatefully, but Zhou Wen had been observing the situation inside Providence Palace the entire time without giving her a second glance.

"If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have helped you choose." Wang Lu pouted and resentfully retreated to the side. She didn't even have the mood to open her gift box to see what was inside.

Even after they had all made their choices, one after another, and the counselors had led them out of Providence Palace, Zhou Wen still hadn't found the tiny palm symbol. He was extremely disappointed.

None of them had the intention to open their gift boxes on the spot. Zhou Wen also took the box that Wang Lu had chosen for him back to his dorm.

I wonder what it is? Zhou Wen opened it up.

Indeed, it was the same as he imagined. There were no Companion Eggs or dimensional crystals inside, but a strange old bronze flask.

It can't be a chamber pot, right? Zhou Wen looked at the bronze flask inside the box, and it looked like one, no matter how he looked at it.

But from the looks of it, it seemed to be a little too small. It was probably not suited for adults.

Furthermore, the style looked more exquisite and it had smooth curves as if it did not match the style of the East District's ancient style.

Zhou Wen switched on his ordinary phone and checked the Internet. Soon, he learned what it was. It was a hand-held oil lamp from ancient Arabia.

From the looks of the oil lamp, it should be an antique. I wonder how much I can sell it for? Zhou Wen muttered to himself as he took out the bronze lamp and wiped the dust he saw on it with a piece of tissue paper.

After a few strokes, the bronze lamp suddenly trembled, and the patterns on it began to glow strangely.

Chapter 132 No Acquaintances with Immortals

The pattern on the lamp's body flickered as swirls spun in circles. A flame was spontaneously ignited at the mouth of the lamp, giving off an inexplicable demonic charm as it danced. It was like a seductive woman twisting her waist while dancing.

Zhou Wen's gaze was attracted by the strange flame as though it was the most beautiful woman in the world. He couldn't help but become engrossed, unable to shift his gaze away from the flame.

He was extremely determined, so when he felt that something was amiss, he forcefully shifted his gaze away from the flame.

However, when his gaze moved away from the flame, he was attracted by the shimmering patterns on the bronze lamp. Only then did Zhou Wen realize that the patterns weren't simple patterns. Instead, they were ancient words. The demonic powers contained in them were countless times stronger than the flame, making him unconsciously attracted.

How is this happening! Zhou Wen's fingers on his left hand suddenly moved, as though they were playing a piano. However, his mind hadn't willed his fingers to make any movements.

Zhou Wen wanted to use his other hand to control his left hand, but his other hand's fingers moved along with it.

Soon, it wasn't only his fingers, but Zhou Wen's entire body. He moved uncontrollably in an irregular fashion, something he realized to be dancing.

Zhou Wen had never come into contact with dancing, nor was he interested in dancing. He didn't even watch dancing shows, but he was now like a professional dancer. His body danced with the rhythm of the music, making all sorts of moves he had never thought of before.

And no matter how he looked at it, he could see that it was a woman's dance moves. They were enchanting and charming, light and elegant.

However, to have a man dance it made him look extremely comical. If Li Xuan were here to see him, he would probably be rolling on the ground laughing.

Zhou Wen tried his best to control himself, but it was useless. He had repeatedly switched a few Primordial Energy Arts, but they were all useless. His body was squirming more and more intensely, and there were also many coquettish moves included.

Soon, Zhou Wen discovered that his actions were identical to the flickering of the lamp. It was as though he was a puppet controlled by the flame.

Damn it… What the hell is this… Zhou Wen felt as though he was going crazy.

As his dance sped up, the Lost Immortal Sutra which automatically circulated slowed down. As the Lost Immortal Sutra slowed down, Zhou Wen's body gradually slowed down.

When the Lost Immortal Sutra completely stopped circulating, Zhou Wen's body also stopped twisting.

However, the next second, the Primordial Energy in his body circulated in a frenzy, but it was no longer the path of the Lost Immortal Sutra. Instead, it was another Primordial Energy Art that Zhou Wen had never cultivated before.

The patterns on the oil lamp are also a Primordial Energy Art? Zhou Wen was astonished but also somewhat delighted.

This Primordial Energy Art was very odd. It was different from anything Zhou Wen had previously come into contact with. It seemed to have countless odd transformations, and at times, it was light and graceful, at other times as forceful as a storm. It made Zhou Wen have the urge to tear through the air and dance.

Time ticked by. By the time Zhou Wen regained control of his body, he had already mastered the Primordial Energy Art.

The oil lamp that had been floating in the air suddenly lost its radiance and fell to the ground. It returned to its old and damaged state.

Zhou Wen was just about to pick up the oil lamp when he suddenly felt something amiss with his body. The Primordial Energy Art he had just mastered instantly dissipated as the Lost Immortal Sutra began to circulate again.

However, the circulation this time was different from the previous one. Primordial Energy flowed through his body like blood circling his body.

Boom!

Zhou Wen felt his brain buzz as a voice resounded incessantly.

"If God opposes me, I will slay God… If an immortal opposes me, I will cull the immortal… No exchanges with god… No acquaintances with immortals… I am me…" The voice was unbridled and savage, but it also had a terrifying power that made his blood boil. It was as if something was stirring in one's heart, eager to poke a hole in the sky.

This voice wasn't unfamiliar to Zhou Wen. Over the countless nights he had cultivated in the Lost Immortal Sutra, the voice had kept whispering into his ear. However, in the past, he couldn't hear the voice clearly.

Today, he finally heard what that voice was saying. It was a woman's voice, but it had a heart-stopping aura. It was as if all living beings from the various worlds would fall prostrate at her feet.

Although Zhou Wen only heard a voice, he couldn't help but envision a scene. Countless deities prostrating themselves on the ground, bowing towards a woman as though on a pilgrimage.

Unfortunately, this was just Zhou Wen's imagination and was able to see the woman's face clearly. He felt that her bearing was incomparable. She was lofty, but she wasn't as holy as an immortal or Buddha. She had a killing aura.

The voice in his mind became weaker and weaker, as if it was about to disperse. In the end, it was almost inaudible.

Zhou Wen vaguely heard a sentence that sounded a little different from the repeated sentence he had just heard: "My return… Will spell… the death of all immortals…"

However, the voice at the end was so soft that he didn't hear the complete sentence.

Boom!

The Lost Immortal Sutra in his body seemed to explode as all the cells seemed to bind together. It made Zhou Wen suspect if his body had self-destructed.

Falling… Constantly falling…

Zhou Wen felt as though his consciousness had plunged into the deep sea as it constantly plummeted. Finally, his consciousness was completely submerged in the darkness.

Ever since he had mastered the Lost Immortal Sutra, he hadn't had a proper sleep.

Every time he fell asleep, no matter where he was or what time it was, there would be a voice whispering into his ear, akin to scripture chantings by Buddha or a devil's enticements.

Together with the sleep paralysis, anyone else would have gone berserk.

Zhou Wen grinding every day was certainly to raise his strength, but it also included his thoughts of trying to avoid sleeping.

Up to this day, the feeling of being haunted by ghosts finally completely dissipated. Zhou Wen slept soundly as though nothing in the world was more blissful than having a good sleep.

When he woke up and stretched his back, he felt so comfortable that he almost moaned in delight. All his cells seemed to emit comfortable cheers.

Zhou Wen pressed his palm down on the bed to sit up, but when he pressed down, his body bounced up, slamming his head into the ceiling. Half his head was inside the ceiling made of steel and cement, leaving him dangling from it.

Chapter 133 Exchange Student

"Pui! Pui!"Zhou Wen spat out the cement in his mouth and looked at his hands in surprise. What's going on?

After some thought, he recalled what had happened yesterday and seemed to realize something. He quickly took out his mysterious phone and pricked his finger with a needle, dripping a drop of fresh blood onto the screen.

The blood quickly coagulated into the blood-colored avatar. Zhou Wen looked at its stats and was overjoyed. He had indeed advanced to the Legendary stage.

He eagerly checked the blood-colored avatar's attributes only to be left somewhat puzzled.

Zhou Wen

Age: 16 years

Level: Legendary

Legendary Life Providence: Sigh of the King

Strength: 12

Speed: 12

Constitution: 12

Primordial Energy: 12

Primordial Energy Art: Lost Immortal Sutra

Primordial Energy Skill: Astral Suction Palm, Astral Slash Blade, Astral Suction Palm, …

Companion Beast: Truth Listener, Banana Fairy, Mutated Lotus Flower Ant, Silver-Winged Flying Ant

His stats and Primordial Energy Art were considered normal, but his Legendary Life Providence was a little strange. Typically, ordinary people weren't able to see their attributes in the game like Zhou Wen, but after advancing to Legendary, they were able to sense the basic abilities of their Legendary Life Providence and know how it could be used.

However, Zhou Wen couldn't sense what his Life Providence could be used for. All he could sense was that his Life Providence's powers needed certain conditions to be triggered.

As for the triggering conditions, Zhou Wen only had a vague sense which wasn't too clear.

When he looked at the additional note regarding Sigh of the King in-game, there was only one sentence: Sigh of the King, it is endless sinking.

Zhou Wen didn't understand the meaning of the annotation, so he was momentarily unsure whether his Life Providence was good or bad.

However, being able to advance to the Legendary stage was ultimately a boon. It meant that Zhou Wen could finally incubate a Legendary Companion Egg without any reservations. He could also absorb high-valued dimensional crystals to raise his stats.

As for killing Epic creatures, Zhou Wen didn't have a blind sense of self-importance. The difference between the Epic and Legendary stages was far greater than the difference between the Legendary and Mortal stages. The weakest Epic could easily kill the strongest Legendary.

It wasn't only because an Epic's attributes were higher, but also because an Epic's life possessed a form of soul protection. They were completely different from Legendaries, making it an extremely difficult task to defeat an Epic at the Legendary stage.

Whatever. I'll increase my stats first. Zhou Wen picked up the mysterious phone. He wanted to enter the game and use some high-valued dimensional crystals to raise his stats. Otherwise, even if he had advanced to the Legendary stage, he would still be one of the weakest.

Li Xuan and An Jing had their family's support, so it was very simple for them to raise their stats. They just needed to use the dimensional crystals prepared by their families, but Zhou Wen needed to rely on himself.

Before he could launch a dungeon on his phone, the doorbell rang.

"Old Zhou, what treasure did you choose from Providence Palace? It can't be that your luck was so bad to choose a urinal or something, right?" Li Xuan didn't dare enter the room as he looked straight in. When he saw the antelope sleeping on the couch, he immediately retracted his head.

"See for yourself." Zhou Wen invited Li Xuan into the house.

"No, no, no. I'm not going in. I'm not here to see the treasure you chose. Counselor Wang Fei got me to tell you that she wants you to see her." Li Xuan quickly shrank back again.

"Why is the Counselor looking for me?" Zhou Wen was puzzled.

"She didn't say, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the exchange students with from Covenant College," Li Xuan said.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen didn't understand. Covenant College was a famous school in the West District and was worlds apart from Sunset College. Even if there was an exchange student, it shouldn't have anything to do with him.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "There's an exchange student from Covenant College here in Sunset College to study for a period of time. I heard that the exchange student is quite extraordinary. He's from one of the Six League Heroes families. He's famous at Covenant College and is considered as the heir to the six heroes. He's the most likely person to reach the level of the six heroes."

"What has this got to do with me?" Zhou Wen frowned.

"Since it's an exchange student, they will interact with students from our college after arriving. In order to not lose face, the school will definitely let the best students interact with that fellow. Having entered the top ten at the comprehensive test, it's normal for the school to give you such an important mission. However, I don't think it's any of your business. After all, your ranking in the top ten is too low. As long as you stand out, it will definitely be Huang Ji, Wei Ge, and An Jing who will deal with that exchange student. Just watch the show," Li Xuan said.

Zhou Wen thought that it made sense and went to Wang Fei's office.

It was just as Li Xuan guessed. Wang Fei informed him that an exchange student from Covenant College was coming to study at Sunset College.

"Zhou Wen, do you know who the exchange student is?" Wang Fei asked.

"Is this related to me?" Zhou Wen said indifferently.

"Of course it has something to do with you. Otherwise, why would I especially summon you here? If it was just an ordinary exchange student, you wouldn't be needed." Wang Fei paused. "The student's name is John. Like Liz, he comes from a family with the last name Cape."

"Liz?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly.

Wang Fei continued, "John is Liz's younger brother, but he's different from the poorly talented Liz. His talent is almost comparable to the hero from the Cape family. Not only did he inherit the physique of the hero, but he also obtained an extremely powerful Life Providence when he advanced to the Legendary stage. In the west, he has the title of a Saint."

"So what?" Zhou Wen said indifferently.

"Do you need me to go into the details between Liz and you? Given John's status, even if he came to Sunset College, he wouldn't purposely challenge a Mortal. However, you happened to be ranked in the top 10 at the comprehensive test as a Mortal stage. This gave John an excuse to challenge you. When the time comes, even if he doesn't dare to do anything to you in Sunset College, it will be a disgrace to both you and Sunset College if you were to suffer a terrible defeat."

Wang Fei paused for a moment before saying, "That's why the school hopes that you can go home for a few days and not give John a chance to challenge you."

"If he's really out to get me, won't he come knocking on my door even if I were to hide in my dorm?" Zhou Wen said.

"It's alright. You can return to the An family home to rest for a few days. The school will approve your leave," Wang Fei said.

"There's no need." Zhou Wen directly rejected it. He definitely wasn't going to seek protection from the An family.

"Zhou Wen, if you really had the strength to be in the top ten, the school doesn't mind you fighting with John. It doesn't matter even if you lose. However, I think you should know better than me how you ended up in the top ten. The school didn't hold it against you for the sake of the An family. However, you should know that your current strength isn't enough to represent Sunset College's top standards. It'd be meaningless to accept such a challenge," Wang Fei said.

Chapter 134 Mutated Demonized General

"Counselor, although my strength isn't enough to represent the college, there's no need for me to be afraid of John, much less escape." Zhou Wen bowed slightly to Wang Fei before turning to leave the office.

Ignoring the fact that Zhou Wen had already advanced to the Legendary stage, even if he wasn't John's match, he still wouldn't choose to flee to the An family residence.

This fellow's surname isn't An, but why is he as stubborn as the An siblings? Wang Fei watched Zhou Wen leave the office and couldn't help but worry.

After Zhou Wen returned to his dorm, he launched an instant dungeon and began grinding crazily. He wanted to spawn some high-level dimensional crystals and quickly raise his attributes.

Ding! After killing a Silver-Winged Flying Ant, a 14-valued Speed Crystal dropped. The blood-colored avatar absorbed the Speed Crystal and his Speed increased to 14.

Ding! After killing a Mutated Buddha Heart Lotus, a 13-valued Primordial Energy Crystal dropped. The blood-colored avatar absorbed it and his Primordial Energy increased to 13.

Ding! After killing a Skeleton General, a Skeleton General Companion Egg dropped.

Zhou Wen unhesitatingly incubated it and obtained a Skeleton General Companion Beast. However, the Companion Beast's stats and skills were relatively average.

While grinding the Lotus Flower Cave, Zhou Wen was once again lucky enough to spawn a Fairy Monkey Companion Egg. When he incubated it, the stats weren't too bad, but they weren't considered excellent-grade stats.

Since it wasn't an excellent-grade Companion Beast and its skills weren't anything special, Zhou Wen decided to attempt a fusion when he saw that the Skeleton General and the Fairy Monkey had a compatibility score of 57% which was a rather high success rate.

However, Zhou Wen was extremely disappointed. The fusion failed as the two Companion Beasts disintegrated simultaneously.

Zhou Wen knew how lucky his Mutated Lotus Flower Ant had been at succeeding from the recent fusion failures. The chances were about the same as winning the lottery.

Thankfully, Zhou Wen was able to keep grinding dungeons. His chances of dropping a Companion Egg were much higher than the average person. After persisting for an entire day and night, Zhou Wen's stats experienced a significant boost. His Strength and Constitution had reached 16 points. His Speed and Primordial Energy were slightly weaker and had only increased to 15 points.

This made Zhou Wen clearly feel that his body was much stronger. During this process, he managed to raise his Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to Rank 9, raising his movement technique to its limit.

Rank 9 was a standard Primordial Energy Skill limit. There was no way to continue raising it with Primordial Energy Skill Crystals. In the past, Rank 9 was the highest Zhou Wen could reach. However, with the precedent of Ashen Palm, he knew that Rank 9 wasn't the limit and that there was room for improvement. However, that required him to train and figure it out himself before being able to reach Dragon Gate Fairy Skill's limit of Rank 10.

It was unknown how many times he had entered Tiger Cage Pass dungeon before he encountered a Demonized General with the word "Fist" engraved on its helmet. It delighted Zhou Wen.

Seeing the Demonized General turn golden in color, like a golden-armored god of war, Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to charge forward instead of retreating, clashing head-on with the Fist Demonized General.

Now that Zhou Wen had advanced to the Legendary stage, his speed had increased significantly. Coupled with the Silver-Winged Flying Ant's silver wings, his speed was no longer slower than the Fist Demonized General's. He easily dodged its strange spear's

rust before slashing at its neck with his hand wrapped in the lotus flower bracer.

With a clang, Zhou Wen's present strength combined with the lotus flower bracer was still unable to damage the Fist Demonized General. Instead, his opponent balled its other hand into a fist and threw a punch at the blood-colored avatar's stomach.

Astral Suction Palm! Zhou Wen guessed that the Astral Suction Palm could restrain the Fist Demonized General's Primordial Energy Skill. Unsure if it was true, he gave it a try.

The strength of the Fist Demonized General's fist was extremely domineering, as though it had gathered all of its energy into one point. Even the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant at the same level would explode with one punch.

The Astral Suction Palm appeared nothing powerful with how soft and weak it was. The instant his palm clashed with the fist, Zhou Wen felt a strange feeling. His Astral Suction Palm seemed to be able to guide the forces of the Demonized General's fist.

With a thought, Zhou Wen pulled and pushed with his Astral Suction Palm, directing the Demonized General's domineering punch right back into the other side of his enemy's chest. With a boom, the armor on his body shattered and blood spewed out.

Zhou Wen was delighted when he saw this. He controlled the blood-colored avatar to charge forward, penetrating the wound on the Demonized General's chest with his palm which wore the lotus flower bracer. This impact burst the heart inside.

'Killed Fist Demonized General. Discovered Companion Egg.'

Zhou Wen was still immersed in the excitement of his killing the Fist Demonized General for the first time when he saw the system notification appear. He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Upon careful look, he saw a black-colored Companion Egg drop on the ground. He hurriedly ordered the blood-colored avatar to pick it up but seeing its attributes, he couldn't help but find it odd.

Mutated Demonized General: Legendary

Legendary Life Providence: Malignant General

Strength: 19

Speed: 17

Constitution: 18

Primordial Energy: 18

Talent Skill: Astral Fist, Demon Flame Spear, Demon Rider Summon

Companion Form: None

How can a Mutated Demonized General not have a Companion Form? Zhou Wen found it odd, but its stats were really high. It was considered a top-notch existence among Legendaries.

He directly incubated the Mutated Demonized General since he had no plans on giving such an excellent-grade Companion Beast as food.

He summoned the incubated Mutated Demonized General and it was exactly the same as the one in the game. A burly Demonic General riding on a red horse, with a strange spear in his hand. With one charge, the strange spear in its hand could knock over a large number of Demonized Soldiers. It was extremely powerful.

Another Demonized General! Zhou Wen was delighted. With the boost provided by the Demonized General's skills—far greater than the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant and the Silver-Winged Flying Ant-it was good as a vanguard.

Taking advantage of the excitement of having a new Companion Beast, Zhou Wen continued grinding. He wanted to raise his stats in one fell swoop. It would be best if he could raise everything to 18.

Perhaps due to luck, Zhou Wen encountered another Mutated Demonized General when he respawned again and went to Tiger Cage Pass. However, the Demonized General's helmet had the word 'Blade' engraved on it this time.

He didn't attack himself, allowing the Fist Demonized General to charge forward. Due to the effectiveness of the Fist Demonized General against the Blade Demonized General, it killed the Blade Demonized General with one charge.

The Blade Demonized General's Astral Slash Blade was shattered by the Astral Punch and was made completely useless.

Exceeding Zhou Wen's expectations, the Blade Demonized General once again dropped a Companion Egg. Having obtained two Mutated Demonized General Companion Eggs consecutively, this was a probability that Zhou Wen found unbelievable.

Mutated Demonized General: Legendary

Legendary Life Providence: Malignant General

Strength: 19

Speed: 18

Constitution: 17

Primordial Energy: 16

Talent Skill: Astral Slash Blade, Demon Flame Spear, Demon Rider Summon

Chapter 135 Demonic Words

The Blade Demonized General's attributes were similar to the Fist Demonized General's. Only its talent skills were somewhat different.

Zhou Wen looked at the system notification and discovered that the compatibility score between the two Demonized Generals was as high as 88%. It tempted him greatly, and in the end, he couldn't help but tap on the fusion button.

Ding! When he heard the system's chime, Zhou Wen's heart couldn't help but pound. He was even a little nervous.

Fortunately, a compatibility score of 88% was as true as it gets. The fusion succeeded and produced a new Demonized General.

Just by looking at the new Demonized General's appearance, it seemed to be even more ferocious and domineering. It wore red-vested armor, and its eyes were fiercely glowing red. It looked like a ferocious general in a raging inferno.

And the word engraved on its helmet was neither Blade nor First, but the word "Demon."

Mutated Demonized General: Legendary

Legendary Life Providence: Malignant General

Strength: 19

Speed: 18

Constitution: 18

Primordial Energy: 18

Talent Skill: Astral Slash Blade, Astral Fist, Demon Flame Spear, Demon Rider Summon

Companion Form: None

These stats are a little sick. Furthermore, it also has the Astral Slash Blade and Astral Fist skills. If I were to obtain another Paper Demonized General Companion Beast and fuse with it, would it result in an excellent-grade with all three skills? Zhou Wen thought to himself.

However, it wasn't easy to have two Mutated Demonized General Companion Eggs drop. It was unknown how long it would take to have another one drop.

Thankfully, Zhou Wen had to grind Tiger Cage Pass dungeon every day, so he wasn't in a rush. There were always opportunities.

The Mutated Demonized General was good at the offensive and defensive. It killed everything in its way, and together with the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant and Silver-Winged Flying Ant, they formed a team that could kill monsters from both air, land, and sea. Most of the time, the blood-colored avatar didn't even need to move a finger to kill the dimensional creatures.

With my current strength and Truth Listener at the Legendary stage, can I try clearing Ant City? Zhou Wen had always been obsessed with the golden beam of light in Ant City. However, previously he had been lacking in strength and couldn't make much progress. Now that he had advanced to the Legendary stage and had four top-notch Legendary Companion Beasts, it seemed like he could make an attempt.

"Old Zhou, we can finally register our own club. What do you think it should be called? Do you think it's better to call it the God of Combat Alliance or Invincible Club?" Li Xuan walked into the living room excitedly.

"Up to you." Zhou Wen was grinding Ant Nest, so he didn't have the capacity to care. Furthermore, he wasn't obsessive-compulsive. He would accept any name.

"Don't mind. This is our club. There's meaning only if we think of names together. Those two aren't good. What do you think about Xuanwen? Our names are both in it. Others can tell that it's our club," Li Xuan said.

"Sure." Zhou Wen nodded while gaming-the blood-colored avatar had already rushed to the periphery of Ant City.

"Then that's it. Let's register for the Xuanwen Club." Li Xuan pulled Zhou Wen out excitedly.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to follow him out. But when they arrived, they realized that setting up a club didn't just require filling in an application form. They had to gather at least five people to submit the application to establish a club.

"Why do we need so many people? The two of us are good enough to beat everyone in the world." Li Xuan's heart stirred as he looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "It won't be easy to find people now. Almost all the senior students have already joined clubs. After more than a month, most of the freshmen have been roped in. It will be very difficult to find suitable people. Your two high school classmates seemed to be interested in our club. Why don't you rope them in to make up the numbers?"

"I'm not sure if they have joined other clubs or not," Zhou Wen said.

"Then let's make a call and ask. Do you have the phone number of that beautiful woman named Fang something?" Li Xuan urged.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to take out his ordinary phone and call Fang Ruoxi while gaming with one hand.

"F*ck, you even have a game-only phone and a phone for calls. Bro, you sure are extravagant," Li Xuan teased.

Zhou Wen ignored him and called Fang Ruoxi. He heard her voice and asked, "Hello, is this Fang Ruoxi?"

"It's me. Li Xuan and I established a club. If you and Tian Xiangdong haven't joined other clubs, why don't you consider it?" Zhou Wen said.

"We haven't joined anything yet. I heard that you were setting up a club, so we have been waiting for your invitation," Fang Ruoxi replied with a smile.

"Alright, we are still short of one person. I'll contact you after we find everyone." Zhou Wen hung up after making an agreement with Fang Ruoxi.

"Quite swell of this old classmate of yours. She's pretty and pure, and she has some feelings for you. You have to act as early as possible. Otherwise, she'll be contaminated by this mixing bowl known as university," Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Don't spout nonsense. She's just an old classmate," Zhou Wen said.

"Now we have four people. We are still short of one. Who do you think we should get?" Li Xuan tugged at his hair in frustration.

"Is it that difficult for Young Master Li to find someone?" Zhou Wen looked at Li Xuan in confusion.

"It's really not difficult to find someone. Just a simple call and I can get a dozen or two. However, I'm afraid that there might be my brother's people among them. I'm more at ease with people you recruit," Li Xuan said.

"I don't know anyone…" Zhou Wen suddenly thought of something as he asked Li Xuan, "Do you know Gu Dian?"

"Of course I know him. How can I not know this person? He's the school's most problematic person. He beat up a senior when he had just started school. He's a person who only recognizes money. As long as he's paid, he will do anything…" Li Xuan said as he looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement. "Why are you asking about him?"

"Has he joined a club?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Let's not even talk about him having thoughts of joining a club; even if he does, no one will want him. Who knows when he might beat up the people in his club. That would be such a joke… Wait… Don't tell me you want to recruit him?" Li Xuan widened his eyes.

"I think he's not bad. If there's really no other candidate, we can give him a try," Zhou Wen said.

"That won't do. Such a person will definitely be bribed by my brother. When the time comes, he will harm us once again." Li Xuan shook his head repeatedly.

"Do you think the others won't be bribed by your brother?" Zhou Wen asked.

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback before he smiled bitterly. "You are right. As long as my brother wants it done, it's useless who I find."

"At least Gu Dian has a clear price. Let's be wary of him. It's better than people that put on different facades, right?" Zhou Wen said.

"You're right. However, there were people who invited Gu Dian in the past. He didn't join either. It won't be easy inviting him to join our club," Li Xuan said with a sigh.

"Can you find him? Let's give it a try," Zhou Wen said.

Chapter 136 Myriad Buddha Cave

"Are you sure Gu Dian is here?" Zhou Wen looked at the Myriad Buddha Cave in front of him and looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

"There's no mistake about it. According to what I learned, Gu Dian is a weirdo. Ever since he entered school, he hasn't slept in his dorm. As long as he's not in class, he will definitely come to Dragon Gate Grotto. It's normal for him to spend half a month here. I received accurate news that he entered Myriad Buddha Cave three days ago and hasn't come out yet. There's no mistake about him being inside," Li Xuan said.

"Do you honestly think someone can live inside here?" Zhou Wen said as he pointed at the Golden Warriors wandering around the Myriad Buddha Cave.

There were relatively rare dimensional creatures in Dragon Gate Grotto. Typically, they were at the Mortal stage. As long as their numbers were few, ordinary students could handle them.

However, the Golden Warriors in the Myriad Buddha Cave were different. Not only were they at the Legendary stage, but they also had powerful defensive strength. Legendary students needed a great deal of effort to kill them. It was very difficult.

Unless there was a special requirement, the average Legendary wouldn't be willing to come here to kill a Golden Warrior.

At that moment in the Myriad Buddha Cave, he could see two or three Golden Warriors wandering around. Zhou Wen didn't believe that students could live here for two to three days.

Even if he had the ability to fight with a Golden Warrior, it was impossible for him to fight for three days and three nights. He would probably die from exhaustion in one day, much less three days and three nights.

"The news shouldn't be wrong. Gu Dian is a weirdo. He often does this kind of thing. No one knows how he survives in the dimensional zones, but he manages to. It's likely that he's inside the Myriad Buddha Cave," Li Xuan said with certainty.

"Since that's the case, let's go in and take a look." Zhou Wen had entered the Myriad Buddha Cave in-game and knew that it was difficult to kill a Golden Warrior. However, their Speed wasn't very fast. He just needed to avoid them since he was only spending a short amount of time to find Gu Dian.

Upon seeing Zhou Wen enter, Li Xuan followed him into the Myriad Buddha Cave.

Seeing that someone had stepped into the Myriad Buddha Cave, Golden Warriors immediately rushed over. Their bodies were dark as if they were carved from some kind of jade. Every step they took left a deep footprint on the ground, indicating their extreme weight.

Li Xuan drew his saber and slashed down at the Golden Warrior that was charging right in front of him. His saber was fast and ruthless and was transformed from a Legendary Companion Beast. If an ordinary Legendary creature were to be struck by him, they would have their bones cleaved through even if they didn't die.

However, when the blade landed on the Golden Warrior, sparks flew everywhere, producing a sound of metallic hum. Only a faint white mark was left on the Golden Warrior while Li Xuan's palm went numb from the shock.

"It's harder than the legends say!" Li Xuan hurriedly dodged, afraid to clash head-on with the Golden Warriors.

Zhou Wen dashed in and had no intention of fighting the Golden Warriors. Not only were they strong, but they also possessed the talent skill, Golden Bell.

Unless someone wanted to have Golden Bell drop, no one would waste their time killing Golden Warriors. Unfortunately, the drop rate of Golden Bell was very low, making the Warriors unpopular among students.

Thankfully, the Golden Warriors were naturally slow, so it was impossible for them to catch up to Zhou Wen and Li Xuan. As they ran, they avoided the Golden Warriors' attacks and entered the Myriad Buddha Cave.

Perhaps it was because no one had been here to kill the Golden Warriors for a while, there were plenty of them in the cave. After covering a few hundred meters, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan had about thirty to forty Golden Warriors chasing behind them.

"Is Gu Dian really here?" At that moment, even Li Xuan himself doubted the authenticity of the information he had received. No matter how he looked at it, there didn't seem to be anyone here.

Just as Li Xuan was about to suggest returning, he suddenly saw a Golden Warrior rushing out of the cavern in front of him. However, it was different from the typical black Golden Warrior. It was covered in golden light and there was a single golden vertical eye on its forehead.

"Three-Eyed Golden Warrior!" Li Xuan exclaimed when he saw the warrior. However, it was a more pleasant surprise than horror.

"What's that?" Zhou Wen had never seen a Three-Eyed Golden Warrior. Back when he entered the Myriad Buddha Cave in-game, he hadn't ventured too deep. This was because it was too difficult to kill the Golden Warriors. He wasn't interested.

In the time it took to kill a Golden Warrior, he could kill at least more than ten Legendary creatures.

"Three-Eyed Golden Warriors are an extremely rare Legendary creature. It should be a mutated version of Golden Warriors; however, their skills are different from that of other Golden Warriors. Typically, most Golden Warriors only drop two Primordial Energy Skills—Golden Palm and Golden Bell. As for the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's Primordial Energy Skill, it's called Invulnerable Golden Power, one that's far higher than Golden Bell. Not only is the Primordial Energy expenditure low, but the defensive strength is even higher… Since we encountered it today, let's just kill it first. It will be great if the Invulnerable Golden Body drops." As Li Xuan spoke, he rushed towards the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior.

He used all his strength to slash at it, but the Speed of the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior was much faster than the typical Golden Warrior. It didn't show any signs of clumsiness.

As Li Xuan slashed down, the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior actually raised its hand and grabbed Li Xuan's saber in midair before forcefully twisting it.

The Legendary saber in Li Xuan's hand was twisted around. In the end, it couldn't withstand the terrifying force and broke into several pieces.

"My Frost Cicada Saber!" Li Xuan felt his heart ache so much that he nearly vomited blood. He had recently been unlucky and had already sacrificed several Companion Beasts.

Zhou Wen swept past the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's head and struck out with his palm, hitting the top of its head.

With a clang, the Rank 10 Ashen Palm failed to injure it. The Three-Eyed Golden Warrior turned its head and struck out with Golden Palm, striking at Zhou Wen's back like a bolt of lightning

Its palm move was like lightning-fast and ruthless. With Zhou Wen's body in midair, it was as though he had no way of dodging. Li Xuan was alarmed as he kicked at the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior and shouted, "Old Zhou, dodge!"

Bang!

Li Xuan's kick was rather heavy-it was enough to snap a tree that was as thick as a person. However, the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior seemed oblivious to the attack as it ignored him. Without moving, the Golden Palm continued its trajectory towards Zhou Wen's back.

In midair, Zhou Wen suddenly drew out a trajectory like a strange bird, dodging the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's strike.

Zhou Wen, who was like an eagle, was hovering above the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior. At the same time, he repeatedly struck with his palms, clashing with the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior.

Li Xuan, who was standing by the side, had no means to join in. Furthermore, large groups of Golden Warriors had gathered around them, instantly cutting off all paths of retreat.

Chapter 137 Three-Eyed Golden Warrior

"Old Zhou, there are too many Golden Warriors. I can't hold on any longer, quickly retreat!" Li Xuan shouted as he dodged the power Golden Warriors.

"Hold on. Give me three minutes," Zhou Wen said.

"Three minutes? Even thirty seconds would be too difficult. Three-Eyed Golden Warriors are too difficult to kill. We definitely won't be able to kill it in a short period of time. Let's go back and get more people to come over. We can clean up this group of Golden Warrior hindrances before slowly killing it. Besides, I really can't last three minutes," Li Xuan shouted while fighting.

"Two minutes," Zhou Wen said again.

"F*ck, if you can't kill it, my blood will be on your hands." Li Xuan gritted his teeth and summoned a Companion Beast armor to protect his body as he charged into the Golden Warriors' ferocious attacks, slamming one of them back several steps.

"If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think I'm HELLO KITTY?" Li Xuan was like a god of combat that had descended to the mortal world. His body slammed forward, his fists unleashed a barrage of attacks, and he managed to charge out of the crowd of Golden Warriors.

Zhou Wen didn't have the time or mood to appreciate Li Xuan's ferocious appearance. He circled above the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior like a hawk, dodging its Golden Palm. At the same time, he struck out repeatedly with his palm, striking the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's head.

Even with the augmentation of the lotus bracer, Zhou Wen's might made it very difficult for him to injure the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior. Every collision was like a clash of metal as sparks flew.

Although it seemed to be filled with zest, Zhou Wen's palm strikes couldn't hurt the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior at all. At most, it only made it uncomfortable.

The Three-Eyed Golden Warrior didn't feel good either. It waved its palm again and again, but it failed to even touch the corner of Zhou Wen's clothes. Zhou Wen was like a giant fly flying above it.

"Roar!" Even the most mild-tempered Buddha would be enraged, much less an irascible warrior. With Zhou Wen enraging it, the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's palm glowed with golden light as it used all its might to strike at the airborne Zhou Wen in an indomitable manner.

It's now! Zhou Wen's eyes focused as he no longer relied on his movement technique or silver wings to dodge in the air. He flattened his left hand as he sucked at the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's bloodthirsty Golden Palm.

Zhou Wen's palm was blood-red, as though it possessed an invisible force that deviated the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's palm to the side.

With a boom, the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior delivered its full might with Golden Palm to its forehead, shattering the forehead with the vertical eye, as well as the golden eye.

The Three-Eyed Golden Warrior collapsed to the ground with a loud thud. Within its own shattered skull, there was a strange dazzling golden glow.

Zhou Wen landed in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's corpse and reached into its head. He pulled out a golden crystal bead the size of a goose egg. Inside it, there was a Three-Eyed Golden Warrior figure shimmering-it was a Companion Egg.

My luck with Companion Eggs seems pretty good at the moment. Zhou Wen reeled with joy.

"Old Zhou, stop staring blankly. I can't hold it any longer. Quickly come and help!" Li Xuan shouted.

Zhou Wen turned his head and saw that he was surrounded by a group of Golden Warriors. They were pummeling Li Xuan until he was dizzy. His armor had cracked from the beating and was about to explode.

However, Li Xuan's Immortal God of Combat Life Providence and Invincible Connate Divine Art were really good at tanking. After being struck countless times, to the point of almost being beaten to a pulp, he still remained conscious. However, the situation looked extremely bad.

Zhou Wen threw the Companion Egg into his backpack as the silver wings on his back vibrated. Instantly, it transformed into a silver beam of light that flew above Li Xuan. He reached out and pulled Li Xuan into the air and landed on the Buddha statue on the mountain cliff.

"Don't touch those Buddha statues!" Li Xuan immediately shouted when he saw this. His face was filled with horror.

However, he had shouted too late. Zhou Wen raised him with both hands as he stepped on the Buddha statue's shoulder and used the momentum to once again leap into the sky.

"It's over… It's over… Old Zhou… You're really trying to kill me… In the future, you should just stay at home and play games. No number of lives is enough coming out with you." Li Xuan nearly cried.

There were countless Buddha statues in Myriad Buddha Cave. Before becoming a dimensional zone, there were more than ten thousand of them, but the number was inestimable after the area became a dimensional zone.

In Myriad Buddha Cave, everything could be touched, but not the Buddha statues. Once touched, the Buddha statue would awaken. Although it wouldn't really stand up, with the awakening of the Buddha statue, all the dimensional creatures in Myriad Buddha Cave would go berserk. Their strength would greatly increase, and in addition, their bodies would also become even harder. Even their originally low speed would turn extremely fast.

Just the thought of a group of accelerated Golden Warriors was terrifying. It was almost impossible for the two of them to escape Myriad Buddha Cave alive with their Legendary stages.

However, Zhou Wen ignored Li Xuan. After he leaped into the air, he landed on the legs of a Buddha statue that was sitting at a greater height.

"Old Zhou, why are you still stepping on them? Do you think our deaths need to be expedited?" Li Xuan felt that his name was already written in the King of Hell's notebook.

The Golden Warriors below couldn't come up, nor did they dare to touch the Buddha statues. As for Zhou Wen and Li Xuan, they stood there for quite a while without seeing any movement from the Buddha statues.

Li Xuan looked at them in confusion. "Could it be that these Buddha statues aren't awake today?"

"That's possible," Zhou Wen said casually as he looked around Myriad Buddha Cave.

He had entered Myriad Buddha Cave in-game, so he naturally knew that the Buddha statues couldn't be touched. However, that was before he used the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra.

As long as Zhou Wen switched his Primordial Energy Art to the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, he wouldn't anger the Buddha statues no matter how much he touched them.

After all, the Buddha statue was only a statue, not a true Buddha. Even a true Buddha might mistake Zhou Wen as a pious child, so it was even more natural for the Buddha statues to fail to distinguish him.

This was because Zhou Wen's Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra was too low. If he reached an extremely high level, most Buddha-type creatures would bow to him without daring to fight him.

The Golden Warriors were, after all, low-level dimensional creatures without any intelligence, so they lacked the ability to sense such weak auras of the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra.

"Old Zhou, stop carrying me. Put me down now." Li Xuan had been too nervous before, but now that he relaxed, he realized that Zhou Wen's hands were still carrying him in a princess hold without letting him down.

"I think it's better I carry you." Zhou Wen didn't know if his Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra could protect Li Xuan. It was fine if he stepped on it himself, but he didn't know if it was okay for Li Xuan.

"I know I'm handsome, but you can't have impure thoughts about me just because I'm handsome." Li Xuan leaped out of Zhou Wen's embrace and stood on the Buddha statue's knee.

Boom!

As Li Xuan stood still, he suddenly felt the Buddha statue shake violently, nearly throwing him down, its eyes suffused a golden glow.

Chapter 138 The Ship Anchor

Li Xuan jumped in fright as he wrapped his arms around Zhou Wen's neck and hung off his body.

However, it was already too late. The Buddha statue did not stop its anomalous change. The countless Buddha statues in Myriad Buddha Cave all suffused golden glows, illuminating the cave in a golden resplendence.

The ordinary Golden Warriors' eyes also became golden. Their black jade-like bodies emitted golden glows as they stared straight at Zhou Wen and Li Xuan.

"They… shouldn't be able to come up, right?" Li Xuan gulped and said with some difficulty.

Just as Li Xuan said that, he watched the warriors' bodies as a golden halo appeared beneath their feet and began to levitate them. This only served to turn Li Xuan's face green.

"Come here." Just as the Golden Warriors were about to charge up with the golden halo, they suddenly heard a low and hoarse voice coming from above.

Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were alarmed as they hurriedly looked up and saw that in the middle of the many Buddha statues, a person had extended half his body and was waving at them.

That ferocious face that resembled a ferocious ghost was obviously Gu Dian's.

"Why is Gu Dian here?" Li Xuan exclaimed.

However, Zhou Wen wasn't in the mood to speak to Li Xuan. He leaped up with him in his arms as the silver wings on his back vibrated. Soon, he arrived at the spot where Gu Dian was standing

Only then did the two realize that in the middle of the two Buddha statues was a stone rift.

Gu Dian retreated and let the two of them follow him into the stone rift, leading them deeper in.

The Golden Warriors rose up with the help of the golden halo, but they didn't dare touch the Buddha statues. All they could do was surround them from the outside without chasing up to them.

Zhou Wen and Li Xuan walked a distance with Gu Dian before the stone rift opened up. There was an uncarved stone cave inside.

The cave wasn't small, and there was a pool below. There was clear spring water flowing in the pool, making it look very clear.

There were also some daily necessities in the cave, which looked like they belonged to Gu Dian.

"Everything outside will return to normal in an hour. You can then leave," said Gu Dian coldly.

"Old Gu, we came specially for you. We plan on registering a club and wish to invite you." Li Xuan exchanged looks with Zhou Wen and directly explained his intentions.

"Not interested." Gu Dian said without lifting his head.

"Don't be in such a hurry to reject it. Our club's benefits are good. There will be quite a good membership allowance every month." Having heard that Gu Dian loved money very much, Li Xuan hurriedly used monetary incentives.

"One hundred thousand a month. I'll join if you pay me," Gu Dian said.

100,000 was nothing to Li Xuan, but Gu Dian's attitude displeased him. Furthermore, he had never heard of any club using money to buy members. Wouldn't that be a joke?

Li Xuan wanted to say something but was stopped by Zhou Wen. Zhou Wen looked at Gu Dian and said, "Five members are needed to register a club. There are only four of us now. We wish to invite you on board, and it would be best if you are willing to join. If you aren't willing, can you help us out and register with us? Although you will be one of our members in name, you actually don't need to attend any of the club's activities or be responsible for the club. How much would that cost?"

"10,000," Gu Dian said straightforwardly.

"Alright, 10,000 it is. Li Xuan, pay up." Zhou Wen agreed without hesitation, but the one paying had to be Li Xuan.

"Just helping in the registration costs ten thousand? Isn't that a little too easy?" Li Xuan said reluctantly.

"Anyway, I can't find anyone else. Find someone else or pay. Choose one," Zhou Wen said as he spread out his hands.

"Even if I'm willing to pay, I still need a signal. How am I to transfer money in this crappy place?" Li Xuan said gloomily.

"That's settled then. You can return with us later. We'll transfer the money to you once there's a signal," Zhou Wen said to Gu Dian.

"Sure," said Gu Dian and he began packing his things.

Gu Dian reached out his hand for something on the mat and stuffed it into his pocket. Zhou Wen had been observing Gu Dian all this time, so his action left him puzzled.

When Gu Dian took the item, he had clearly used his body to block their line of sight, as though he didn't want them to see it.

However, Zhou Wen had been wearing the Truth Listener earring during his previous battle. Through the abnormal hearing given to him by the earring, Zhou Wen could hear the shape of the item.

As Truth Listener only provided listening abilities and not true sight, all Zhou Wen knew was that it was a pocket watch. The exterior was likely made of metal. As for the color, it was unknown to Zhou Wen.

However, there was a strange symbol engraved on the pocket watch's surface, something that Zhou Wen seemed to have seen somewhere before.

After all, he had heard it without any color, making it different from true vision. Therefore, Zhou Wen momentarily couldn't recall where he had seen the symbol before.

As he stared at Gu Dian who was thinking as he was packing his things, Zhou Wen's eyes lit up. He finally remembered where he had seen such symbols.

The symbol on the pocket watch was a ship's anchor, but it was different from the typical ship's anchor. On the surface was a woman's side profile.

According to what Zhou Wen knew, people who went out to sea to fish in the past were very particular about women. Typically, they wouldn't let women go out to sea with them, nor would they carve women's symbols on the boat.

Therefore, Zhou Wen had a deep impression of the ship's anchor when he saw it.

The last time he saw the symbol was when he followed Ouyang Lan to the Xiyuan Crystal Shop. In the room at basement four, there was a silver-haired Companion Beast in chains.

Behind the chain was a metal piece the size of a millstone. On the metal piece was a nine-number keypad, and on the side of the metal block was such a ship's anchor symbol.

However, Zhou Wen's mind was focused on the nine-number keypad back then, so he didn't pay much attention to the ship's anchor symbol. Furthermore, the symbol on the metal piece was huge while the pocket watch was very small. Therefore, Zhou Wen took a while before recalling the matter.

Is it a coincidence? Zhou Wen thought with a frown. Although the difference in size between the two symbols was huge and he hadn't seen the anchor's colors on the pocket watch, from the structure of the symbol, it was indeed the same.

"Old Zhou, what did that Three-Eyed Golden Warrior drop? Quickly take it out and show it to me," Li Xuan said.

Zhou Wen handed Li Xuan the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior Companion Egg that dropped. When Li Xuan saw it, his eyes lit up as he cried out, "Why is your life so good? You actually had a Three-Eyed Golden Warrior Companion Egg drop. That was worth it. Totally worth it. There aren't many of these things, so even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy them. It really was worth risking our lives for it."
