Chapter 139 Working Hard to Improve

"Do you like it?" Zhou Wen asked Li Xuan.

"Nonsense. Who wouldn't? This thing can only be obtained by chance. I've only heard of it in the past. I don't even know what companion form this Companion Beast has," Li Xuan said.

"Take it if you like it," Zhou Wen said.

"Really? Don't you want it for yourself?" Li Xuan was slightly taken aback.

"Of course I do. However, you have to give me the amount of money I deserve. It can't be lower than the market price," Zhou Wen said.

The Three-Eyed Diamond Companion Egg might be difficult for others to obtain, but to Zhou Wen, it was just a little difficult. If he wanted, he could visit Myriad Buddha Cave multiple times in-game in the future. It wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain one.

The game's Companion Eggs couldn't be sold in the real world, so it was best to sell Companion Eggs obtained in reality.

"Money isn't a problem, but are you sure you don't want to keep it for yourself? This item is truly rare and even if its companion form isn't something you wish for, the Companion Beast is strong enough. It can be used as a meat shield and as a vanguard while charging ahead. Very few people can hurt it. It's a rare excellent-grade beast," Li Xuan said.

"I don't need it now. If I need one in the future, I'll just get one more from the Myriad Buddha Cave," Zhou Wen said with a smile.

"Get one more? You make it sound easy. Ignoring the fact that Three-Eyed Golden Warriors are extremely rare, just the time it takes to spawn one takes months. And even if you manage to wait for its spawn, the chances of a Companion Egg dropping after killing it is less than 20%." Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen as though he was looking at an idiot.

"Why are you saying so much? If you don't want it, just give it to me," Zhou Wen said as he reached out his hand.

"Yes… but don't regret it…" Li Xuan hurriedly clenched the Companion Egg in his hand.

Gu Dian said that the Myriad Buddha Cave would return to normal an hour later. There was still plenty of time, so Li Xuan couldn't help but incubate the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior.

"Wow… Invulnerable Golden Power… Golden Palm… Double skills… Wow… Its companion form is actually a Golden Silk Soft Armor… It looks so cool…" When Li Xuan summoned the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's Golden Silk Soft Armor companion form, he deliberately walked in front of Zhou Wen and occasionally let out an exaggerated cry. Clearly, he was showing off on purpose.

Zhou Wen ignored him without giving him a second look. All he did was lower his head and game.

Seeing that Zhou Wen was ignoring him, Li Xuan felt a little bored. He ignored Zhou Wen and went to Gu Dian to show off. He summoned the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior and 'tsked' in amazement. "Look at its body. Look at how domineering it is. It's a rare excellent-grade beast. Old Gu, have you seen anyone else with such a Companion Beast after living in the Myriad Buddha Cave for so long?"

"Pay me and I'll say no." Gu Dian looked up at Li Xuan with a serious expression.

"How boring… The two of you are really boring…" Li Xuan felt that being with the two of them was like playing a zither to a cow. He felt depressed that no one was available to appreciate his splendor.

After waiting for an hour, the Myriad Buddha Cave was indeed restored to normal. The Golden Warriors also returned to their original states. The three of them rushed out together and did not waste time with the Golden Warriors.

After getting Fang Ruoxi and Tian Xiangdong together, the five of them filled out an application form and returned to wait for the news after the submission. The school said that the club would be approved within a week.

Li Xuan told them to leave the matter to him and that Zhou Wen didn't need to worry about it. Their Xuanwen Club would get the approval tomorrow.

Zhou Wen had no plans on bothering with it anyway. He planned on heading home to game, but unfortunately, he bumped into Wang Fei and was taken to her office.

"Zhou Wen, have you considered the matter that I mentioned previously?" Wang Fei asked.

"Ms. Wang, I already said that I won't avoid it." It wasn't that Zhou Wen insisted on fighting John, but that he had nowhere to go.

"Alright, since you're so insistent, I won't persuade you any further. In light of how you might be representing the school in battle, you can bring up anything that you need now. The college will try its best to support you," said Wang Fei.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said, "I want the entry pass to Tiger Cage Pass and Lotus Flower Cave. I wonder if it's possible?"

"Of course, that's not a problem. If you need anything, I can help you apply for a few more passes," Wang Fei agreed readily.

Wang Fei felt gratified. Although Zhou Wen had almost no chance of defeating John, it was still worth it if this could stir up Zhou Wen's fighting spirit.

"That's even better. Thank you, Ms. Wang." Zhou Wen expressed his gratitude.

He didn't really wish to enter to train himself with the pass, but to find a reasonable excuse for future summonings of the Demonized General and using of the Primordial Energy Skills.

"There's no failure when you're young. The most important thing is not to leave any regrets. Work hard and don't make yourself regret in the future." Before Zhou Wen left, Wang Fei even encouraged him.

Zhou Wen felt that Counselor Wang Fei was really a nice person, but she was just too naggy.

That afternoon, Wang Fei sent a few permit passes to Zhou Wen. Apart from Tiger Cage Pass and Lotus Flower Cave, there were several other dimensional zones that had been closed by the school-ones that the typical student wasn't able to enter.

After Zhou Wen had obtained the passes, he went to Tiger Cage Pass first.

He did enter Tiger Cage Pass, but he didn't kill any monsters. He killed Demonized Soldiers for a while before finding a spot without any Demonized Soldiers. Coincidentally, there was an old, broken-down tank there. He lay down in it and continued to use his phone to grind.

There were many black-winged flying ants outside Ant City. They were Legendary creatures, and their combat ability was similar to the Silver-Winged Flying Ant. However, they were not as agile as the Silver-Winged Flying Ant.

Zhou Wen summoned Truth Listener, the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant, the Silver-Winged Flying Ant, and the Mutated Demonized General in their Companion Beast form. Together with the blood-colored avatar, they charged towards Ant City.

The Mutated Demonized General charged forward as the Silver-Winged Flying Ant flew in the air. Behind it were the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant and Truth Listener. The blood-colored avatar was in the middle, sending the grinding team into the black-winged ants.

Despite being at the Legendary stage, Zhou Wen's few Companion Beasts were much more ferocious than the black-winged flying ants. With one charge of the Mutated Demonized General and a cleave of the strange spear in its hand, it killed several black-winged flying ants.

The lotus flower above the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant's head spewed out large amounts of red lotus seed bullets. The black-winged flying ants that were hit by the lotus seed bullets immediately corroded away, losing their ability to fly. After landing on the ground, their combat strength decreased drastically and they were beheaded by Truth Listener's tiny claws.

What shocked Zhou Wen the most was Truth Listener. Despite its tiny size-less than the size of a palm-its claws were like a ghostly claw that could lop off a black-winged flying ant's head with one strike.

Zhou Wen originally imagined that it would be a bitter fight, but now he realized that he didn't need to do a thing. All he needed to do was follow behind to pick up the items.

The four Companion Beasts charged forward, and from time to time, he would hear a chime. Quite a number of dimensional crystals dropped on the ground, and even a black-winged flying ant's Companion Egg dropped.

Chapter 140 Golden Ant Honey

Picking up things from behind his Companion Beasts made Zhou Wen feel guilty of reaping the fruits of success without putting in any effort.

It's no wonder so many people wanted to be a general in ancient times. With a bunch of lackeys sweeping through everything, it's truly a pleasure to reap the spoils. In a blink of an eye, he threw away the guilt he felt and continued picking things up without any qualms.

17-valued Strength dimensional crystal! Zhou Wen hurriedly picked it up and allowed the blood-colored avatar to absorb it, raising his Strength to 17. This was the highest attribute Zhou Wen currently possessed.

The dimensional crystals produced by Legendary creatures were commonly below 15 points. It was rare to see them above that. This was the first 17 points he had obtained.

Ever since Zhou Wen began grinding Legendary creatures, he hadn't seen 20-valued dimensional crystals. This left him somewhat worried as to how he could raise his attributes to 21.

Based on his previous experience, he had to raise his attributes to the level of a Mythical creature like Truth Listener, so that he could advance to the next level.

All the attributes of Truth Listener at the Legendary stage were 21, so Zhou Wen naturally had to raise his attributes to 21.

As the four powerful Companion Beasts charged forward, the blood-colored avatar had already entered Ant City. Large numbers of ants immediately rushed out from the ant

nest.

These ants were different from the black-winged flying ants. There were red-armored ants and black-armored ants but most of them were yellow-armored ants. Their numbers were terrifying, but they couldn't fly and could only attack on the ground.

The blood-colored avatar and the four Companion Beasts immediately plunged into the endless sea of ants. The previously ferocious Mutated Demonized General charged forward. Although it killed several ants, more surged forward and pulled it deep into the swamp-like sea of ants.

When Zhou Wen realized that the situation was turning south, he made the blood-colored avatar jump onto the back of the Silver-Winged Flying Ant and fly straight into the sky before flying towards the middle of Ant City.

He let the Mutated Demonized General slow down the ant horde as much as it could.

Due to the large number of black-winged flying ants killed previously, there were very few ants that could fly after entering Ant City. Using the ant nest as an obstacle, the Silver-Winged Flying Ant dodged left and right, flitting through the air swiftly as it got closer and closer to the strange ant nest in the middle.

A black-winged flying ant charged forward, but the Silver-Winged Flying Ant was no longer capable of dodging. The blood-colored avatar struck out with Ashen Palm and struck the black-winged flying ant's head. As though it had been struck dumb, it began flying in random directions before plummeting to the ground.

Zhou Wen didn't use any other Primordial Energy Skills as their expenditure was too high, allowing him to only use them twice. Only Ashen Palm used a relatively lower amount of Primordial Energy. With Zhou Wen's natural speed of Primordial Energy recovery, he could barely use it for extended periods of time.

However, that was only on the basis of occasional use. As the black-winged flying ants charging at him from his surroundings increased, Zhou Wen couldn't even use his Ashen Palm.

Seeing that he was about to be surrounded by the black-winged flying ants, Zhou Wen looked at the distance between the blood-colored avatar and the ant nest. Gritting his teeth, he leaped from the back of the Silver-Winged Flying Ant and charged towards a black-winged flying ant. He took the opportunity to use Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to rush to the top of an ant nest by the side. He then used the momentum to rush straight to the highest spot where the nest was glowing with a golden halo.

In the nest behind him, several ants were leaping into the air in a bid to strike the blood-colored avatar. Thankfully, they were wingless red-armored ants. The blood-colored avatar circled the sky with the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill, causing the red-armored ants to miss and fall to the ground.

When the blood-colored avatar used the momentum to slide towards the golden ant nest, two black-winged flying ants rushed over from both sides.

The Silver-Winged Flying Ant had already been surrounded by a group of black-winged flying ants. Its wings had been ripped apart and it was being eaten. There was no way it could help him again.

The Dragon Gate Fairy Skill was only a movement technique and not a flight technique. As Zhou Wen's strength had reached its limit and without anything to push off from, there was no way he could dodge the two black-winged flying ants' attack.

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Wen thought of something. A green beam of light was summoned from the blood-colored avatar's palm, transforming into a little fairy sitting on a banana leaf.

Before the fairy could see what was happening, the blood-colored avatar stepped on her banana leaf and leaped into the air again. However, the little fairy, along with the banana leaf, fell to the ground.

It was not easy for the little fairy to regain control of the banana leaf. Her ashen face was filled with anger. She pointed at the blood-colored avatar in the sky and yelled something

With this step, the blood-colored avatar finally managed to dodge the pounce of the two black-winged ants. Like a cannonball, it slammed into the shimmering golden ant nest.

Bam!

The ant nest wasn't as solid as Zhou Wen imagined. He had actually managed to open a huge hole as the blood-colored avatar rolled in with the mud walls.

The scene in the nest left Zhou Wen slightly taken aback. That so-called golden light wasn't treasure.

The bottom half of the nest was filled with golden liquid, one that was sticky like glue.

Zhou Wen remembered hearing from others that some kinds of ants made honey like bees. Furthermore, these ants that could make honey were typically terrifying poison ants.

However, the honey they made was a tonic that was nourishing and even had medicinal value.

Of course, this was all hearsay. Zhou Wen was unsure of its authenticity, but the golden liquid in the nest seemed to be ant honey no matter how one looked at it.

After the blood-colored avatar entered the nest, it fell into a golden liquid. Immediately, it felt like it had fallen into a quagmire, so the more it struggled, the deeper it sank.

However, after the blood-colored avatar's mouth was stained with the golden liquid, he felt a sweet fragrance entering his mouth. It made Zhou Wen even more certain that it was the legendary ant honey.

'Consumed Golden Ant Honey, Primordial Energy1.' A notification notification popped up on his phone screen. It left Zhou Wen slightly taken aback before he became ecstatic.

Just as he was about to control the blood-colored avatar to drink a few mouthfuls, he suddenly heard an ear-piercing scream. When he looked up, he saw a flying ant that looked like it was cast from gold. It angrily flew down from the top of the nest and was as fast as a golden phantom.

Zhou Wen was only able to see the Golden Flying Ant's appearance when the blood-colored avatar was slain by a golden beam of light. Its head and body were separated.

However, the last thing he saw was something like a cocoon floating in thin air in the upper half of the nest. It was snow-white and crystalline, and he had no idea what it was.

Without even having the time to look at it, the phone screen went black.

Ants seem to be born from eggs, right? That thing was clearly a cocoon formed from thin silk. Could it be that ants in a dimensional dimension can reproduce? Zhou Wen found it odd. The aura from the cocoon seemed somewhat different from the Golden Flying Ant.

Chapter 141 Strange Siblings

Just as Zhou Wen was about to drip his blood to revive and continue fighting, he suddenly heard a voice coming from afar. The sound became clearer as though someone was walking over.

"Brother, is that thing really inside Tiger Cage Pass?" A woman's voice sounded. Although it wasn't loud and was rather far away, Zhou Wen could still hear it clearly with Truth Listener's ability.

"The most likely place is Tiger Cage Pass." A man's voice rang out.

"If that thing is really inside Tiger Cage Pass, with our abilities, we won't be able to rush in at all. I'm afraid we've made a wasted trip," the woman added.

"Not necessarily," the man said with a laugh.

"The one in Tiger Cage Pass is not the usual person at the Epic stage. I'm afraid we won't even be able to catch an arrow from him, so how can we rush in?" the woman said.

"Blindly charging in will definitely not work. However, I do know of a method that can allow us to enter." The man paused before continuing, "There are three mutated Demonized Generals like Fist, Paper, and Blade in Tiger Cage Pass. If we can gather all three Demonized Generals' skills, we can use them to get past that arrow. When the time comes, as long as we can get close enough to Tiger Cage Pass, we can enter it through that secret tunnel."

"There aren't many mutated Demonized Generals to begin with. It's easier said than done to have one drop with all three skills," said the woman.

"Let's take it slow. After all, we still have to stay at Sunset College for two years. If we are lucky, we might be able to gather the three Primordial Energy Skills," the man said.

Zhou Wen was lying in the broken-down tank and heard their conversation clearly. The duo talked as they walked and soon, they had gone some distance without discovering Zhou Wen.

Those two must be Wu Jun and Wu Nan who were in the top ten, right? They actually know so much about Tiger Cage Pass and some secret tunnel? What's the thing they were talking about? Zhou Wen could easily recognize them with Truth Listener's ability.

However, the siblings' behavior was somewhat odd.

However, none of this had anything to do with Zhou Wen. He continued to lay in the tank and grind away. He still wanted to enter the Golden Flying Ant's nest to drink a few mouthfuls of the ant honey.

He had only taken a sip due to his lack of preparation the last time. Next time he felt that he would be able to fill his stomach.

However, through a great ordeal, when Zhou Wen finally arrived in front of the nest at the highest point, he saw a golden beam flash before he could enter. The golden flying ant charged out of the nest and killed the blood-colored avatar outside without giving him a chance to enter.

Zhou Wen refused to give up and tried again, but the result was the same. Without even having the chance to enter the nest, he was killed by the Golden Flying Ant.

How can this be? Logically speaking, the game's program should be fixed. The first time I went there, the Golden Flying Ant was in the nest. It only took action after I rushed in. Why did it come out before the blood-colored avatar entered the nest during the second and third time? Zhou Wen felt depressed.

Drinking the Golden Ant Honey seemed hopeless, so all Zhou Wen could do was grind the other dungeons.

While grinding, Zhou Wen also headed to Myriad Buddha Cave to see if there were any Three-Eyed Golden Warriors.

There were Three-Eyed Golden Warriors, but they spawned at different locations every time which meant that it took Zhou Wen some time to find them.

The Mutated Demonized General led the way on a horse, blasting through the horde of Golden Warriors. This made Zhou Wen's progress speed much faster.

After finding a Three-Eyed Golden Warrior, the Mutated Demonized General clashed head-on with it but failed to gain much of an advantage. However, it wasn't placed at a disadvantage either.

The clash between the Golden Palm and Astral Fist was like a collision between Mars and Earth. The air blasts that produced were enough to send the Golden Warriors by the side flying

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior was powerful, its Speed and means of attack were still inferior to the Mutated Demonized General.

Zhou Wen used Astral Suction Palm to help the Mutated Demonized General to kill the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior, which ended up dropping an 18-valued Constitution Crystal, raising Zhou Wen's Constitution to 18 points.

Time passed as Zhou Wen grinded away, living a very regular lifestyle. He alternated between Tiger Cage Pass and Lotus Flower Cave on a daily basis.

Wang Fei was greatly gratified when she learned how hardworking Zhou Wen was. However, unbeknownst to her, Zhou Wen only found a place to game after entering the dimensional zones.

"Who's that boy? Why haven't I seen him before? He's so handsome!" A few girls were walking in the school when they suddenly saw a boy walking over. After taking a closer look at his face, their eyes lit up.

"Really? Our school actually has such a handsome guy. Why didn't we notice him in the past?" The girl's eyes were almost fixed on him.

In their eyes, that boy was flawless from head to toe. His entire being seemed to be glowing.

When the boy saw them looking at him, he smiled at them. The girls' hearts pounded wildly and they lowered their heads shyly, not daring to look at him again.

By the time they lifted their heads again, the boy had already disappeared.

"Damn it, I should have asked for his number just now." A girl stamped her feet in regret.

"The door isn't locked. Come in." Wei Ge was clearing some student council work when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The door was pushed open, but Wei Ge felt that something was amiss. It was as if the person was not a member of the student council, so he looked up.

Upon seeing this, Wei Ge felt a sense of animosity.

The boy in front of him was his idea of the perfect man. He was elegant, mature, reliable, and had the aura of a nobleman. No one could ignore his existence with him merely standing there. It was as though he was the center of the world.

With just a glance, Wei Ge had already added the boy to the list of his opponents.

The boy reached out his hand and, in a friendly manner, said, "Hello, I'm John."

"So it's John. I'm the student council president of Sunset College, Wei Ge. I've already received notice from the school that I'll be responsible for your daily life while you're studying here." Wei Ge stood up and reached out to shake John's hand as their gaze met.

John's gaze was as pure as a silent sea, without any ripples.

When their hands held each other, Wei Ge smiled as he secretly exerted strength in his palm. He wanted to test John's strength.

Wei Ge had long heard that John had the title of Saint in the West district-he was a famous genius in the West district.

Wei Ge didn't think that he would be any worse than John, but after his hand gradually tightened, his expression changed.

No matter how much Wei Ge exerted his strength, nothing happened to John's palm. It remained warm and firm, as though strength couldn't affect it at all. Even his expression was as gentle as ever.

Wei Ge felt that John was like an unfathomable ocean. No one knew how terrifying it was beneath the calm.

Chapter 142 Saint John

"John, welcome to Sunset College for your studies. I'll take you to the dormitory first." Wei Ge retracted his hand as his expression was a mixture of emotions.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," John said with a smile, "I heard that Sunset College produced a genius this year. A freshman who has yet to advance to the Legendary stage has managed to enter the top ten of the comprehensive test."

Wei Ge was a shrewd person. Upon hearing John's words, he immediately had a guess. Could it be that this John has a grudge with Zhou Wen?

Although he had such thoughts in mind, Wei Ge said, "I do indeed have such a junior. His talent and character are excellent."

"I heard his name is Zhou Wen?" John asked again.

"That's right. Do you know him?" Wei Ge asked.

"I don't know him. I heard that Sunset College has produced such a genius, so I'm looking forward to it. If there's a chance, I hope I can spar with him." John made his words very clear.

This only affirmed Wei Ge's conjecture, but he avoided answering. He only smiled and said, "I'll take you to the dormitory first. The school will arrange everything else."

John nodded with a calm expression. He didn't say anything further and instead chatted with Wei Ge about the glorious history and interesting news of Sunset College.

News of John coming to Sunset College quickly spread. Even if the school didn't promote him, a tall, handsome, and outstanding student like John would easily attract attention once he appeared on campus.

"It's as the rumors say, John is indeed a genius with both looks and strength. The reputation of a saint is true."

"What do you mean 'as the rumors say'? You haven't seen his strength at all, have you? Maybe he's just a pretty boy."

"Generally, men who are good-looking can't be too weak," said a girl.

The students of Sunset College were discussing the genius student from the West district, especially the Cape family that had borne one of the six heroes. This gave him an even more mysterious halo.

Many of the experts in the school hoped to battle John, but this was not something they could sort for themselves. They had to follow the arrangements of the school's leaders.

Sunset College had carefully selected a list of students to interact with John. There were five people, including Huang Ji, Wei Ge, Hui Haifeng, Wang Lu, and Feng Qiuyan.

In consideration of Zhou Wen's relationship with Liz, he wasn't put on the list.

When John saw the name list, he didn't say anything. The corners of his mouth curled up and he revealed a rare smile.

Zhou Wen had also heard the news of John's arrival, but he didn't take it to heart. With his present strength and his legendary Companion Beasts that possessed astonishing combat strength, it could be said that he wasn't afraid of any cultivator of the same level. If John really wanted to fight him, he wouldn't back down.

He continued persisting in his old ways by grinding daily. He obtained quite a number of dimensional crystals and Companion Beasts, and his attributes increased significantly. Apart from his Speed, the other attributes had increased to 18 points and his Speed was at 17 points.

However, he didn't obtain any better excellent-grade Companion Beasts. Most of them were used as food to feed Truth Listener and Banana Fairy. He attempted to fuse a small number of them, but all of them failed. The success rate of the fusion was frighteningly low.

Providing plenty of food was clearly beneficial. After consuming a copious number of Legendary Companion Eggs, Banana Fairy finally began to evolve.

Banana Fairy didn't undergo much of a change when she reached the Legendary stage. Her body was still small and petite, and she didn't grow up at all. Instead, the banana leaf she was sitting on had enlarged but was merely the size of a palm.

Banana Fairy: Legendary (Evolvable)

Life State: Great Yin Spirit Root.

Strength: 21

Speed: 21

Constitution: 21

Primordial Energy: 21

Talent Skill: Grand Yin Wind

Companion Form: Fan

Apart from possessing a Life Providence, her attributes had grown to the same level as Truth Listener's. There were no changes in other aspects, with her only skill being Grand Yin Wind.

The Great Yin Spirit Root seemed to have a certain augmentation effect on the Grand Yin Wind. Zhou Wen tested the power of the Grand Yin Wind in-game and with a gentle flap, he sent several black-winged flying ants flying tens of feet away. Furthermore, the wind caused their bodies to be covered in frost, to the point of nearly being frozen into ice sculptures and losing all their combat strength. They were so stiff that they curled into a ball and trembled.

What a potent Grand Yin Wind. Unfortunately, I can only use it once. Zhou Wen realized that the Grand Yin Wind was completely uncontrollable. If he used it once, it would absorb all his Primordial Energy at once without leaving him a single drop.

After advancing to the Legendary stage, Truth Listener and the Banana Fairy became restless. Zhou Wen often sensed their thoughts, hoping that he could release them.

When there was no one around, Zhou Wen would release them to allow them to take a breather. Truth Listener was rather well-behaved. He crouched beside Zhou Wen and pricked up his four ears to listen to him. It was unknown what he was listening to.

However, Banana Fairy wasn't that well-behaved. She flew around like a fly on the banana leaf, her mouth smacking away, saying something completely indecipherable.

Thankfully, Zhou Wen didn't have any other advantages but being sufficiently focused, no matter how noisy the tiny Banana Fairy was beside him, he didn't seem to hear her. He continued gaming without being affected.

Wang Fei was originally worried that John would cause trouble for Zhou Wen, but John didn't seem to have any objections to the list of people. Nor did he mention Zhou Wen, as though he had no idea that Zhou Wen existed.

In just three or four days after arriving at Sunset College, John received unanimous praise from the students, especially the female students. They almost thought John was their Prince Charming.

During his sparring; John battled Wei Ge to a tie with his sword techniques, he tied with Hui Haifeng with his melee combat skills, his saber techniques were comparable to Feng Qiuyan's, and his skills of alacrity were no weaker than Wang Lu's.

Apart from not really fighting Huang Ji, John and the other four top students of Sunset College were tied. Although they didn't win, they didn't lose either.

However, many students believed that John was stronger because he had never used Holy Light Judgment, the Primordial Energy Skill he used to obtain the title of Saint.

A Primordial Energy Skill like the Holy Light Judgment was not something that could be learned with a dimensional crystal. Before that, one had to possess a Covenant Royale physique of the Cape family-one of the six heroes—to absorb the Primordial Energy Skill Crystal needed to master the terrifying Primordial Energy Skill like Holy Light Judgment.

In just a few days, John became synonymous with the words "humility," "elegance," "nobility," and "gentlemanly." Even Wei Ge, who was popular with female students, was overshadowed by John.

Chapter 143 Dragon Gate Twenty Pieces

"Zhou Wen, be careful. That John is terrifying," Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen with a heavy expression when he arrived at his dorm one night.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Wen looked at Li Xuan in puzzlement.

"Don't you find it strange? He definitely knows about you and Liz, but he hasn't mentioned it in the past four days in school. Don't you think this person is too sinister?" Li Xuan said.

"Isn't it better if he doesn't mention it?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Not mentioning it doesn't mean he won't cause trouble for you. Anyway, I think there's something fishy. You have to be careful and don't fall into his trap. By the way, it's best you don't agree to spar with him. Do you know what Wei Ge said about him?" Li Xuan said.

"I don't," Zhou Wen said with a shake of his head.

"Unfathomable," Li Xuan said before continuing, "Although Wei Ge's character isn't great, he's still quite powerful. If even someone like him views John as unfathomable,

st mean that John's strength is really terrifying. Unless necessary, it's best not to fight him."

"Alright, I'll remember that." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement.

As long as John didn't make trouble for him, he didn't plan on fighting him.

When it comes to fighting, how can it be more fun than killing monsters in games? It's not like fighting people can drop equipment or pets, Zhou Wen thought.

After sending Li Xuan off, Zhou Wen continued gaming while lying in bed. When Zhou Wen entered Myriad Buddha Cave again, he killed another Three-Eyed Golden Warrior and actually had a Companion Egg drop.

My Three-Eyed Golden Warrior Companion Egg has finally returned. Zhou Wen was delighted as he hurriedly checked its attributes.

Three-Eyed Golden Warrior: Legendary

Life State: Golden Body

Strength: 18

Speed: 14

Constitution: 18

Primordial Energy: 17

Talent Skill: Invulnerable Golden Body, Golden Palm, Golden Fiendtamer Fist.

Companion Form: Golden Silk Soft Armor

This Three-Eyed Golden Warrior was actually a rare Companion Beast with three skills. Furthermore, its attributes were even better than Li Xuan's. It was basically maxed out.

The Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's Speed wasn't fast to begin with, so 14 points was its limit. Li Xuan's was only at 13, even slower than Zhou Wen's. Its Strength and Primordial Energy were slightly lower than Zhou Wen's, with only Constitution being equal.

Although its attributes were inferior to his Demonized General, its Golden Body Life Providence made it hardier than the Demonized General. It was an excellent-grade meat shield pet.

With the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior tanking any attacks up ahead, it gave Zhou Wen much more space to maneuver.

As for the Golden Fiendtamer Fist, it seemed to be weaker than Golden Palm, but something was better than nothing.

The Xuanwen Club was finally officially established. In order to celebrate the birth of the club, Li Xuan organized his first club activity and gathered all the members together. He planned on having a training event at a dimensional zone.

Although Gu Dian was only a member in name, Li Xuan still sent him a message, hoping that he might participate.

Zhou Wen and Li Xuan never expected him to join them, but to their surprise, Gu Dian actually came.

"Are you going to Dragon Gate Grotto's Ancient Yang Cave?" asked Gu Dian.

"That's right. Shall we go together?" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Alright." Gu Dian nodded slightly before standing to the side without speaking to anyone.

Zhou Wen and Li Xuan had roughly understood his personality, so they didn't mind. After getting Fang Ruoxi and Tian Xiangdong, the five of them set off towards Ancient Yang Cave at Dragon Gate Grotto.

Ancient Yang Cave was considered one of the more famous caves in Dragon Gate Grotto. The famous ancient tablets from the Wei dynastythe Dragon Gate Twenty Pieces-consisted of twenty items. And nineteen of them were in the Ancient Yang Cave.

After it became a dimensional zone, the Dragon Gate Nineteen Pieces also underwent changes, giving birth to a Legendary creature, the Mounted Tablet Beast.

Li Xuan's organization of the club activity was to hunt the Mounted Tablet Beast together.

Mounted Tablet Beasts looked extremely odd. It was a stone turtle that carried a stone tablet on its back. It moved very slowly, but its body was extremely hard. It was like a Golden Warrior, a Legendary creature that was extremely difficult to kill.

The only difference was that no one liked to kill Golden Warriors. However, Mounted Tablet Beasts were popular for hunting because although it was difficult to kill, they dropped excellent Primordial Energy Skills. Furthermore, the drop rate was rather high.

According to the differences in the words written on the tablet, there were a total of nineteen types. Every Mounted Tablet Beast had a special Primordial Energy Skill. There were nineteen types that could drop and each one had their own uses and was deeply loved by the students.

As too many students hunted Mounted Tablet Beasts, the school had no choice but to limit entry into the Ancient Yang Cave. They had to have a permit to enter freely.

After Li Xuan used some connections, he obtained the pass to Ancient Yang Cave and organized this event.

There were too many small dungeons in Dragon Gate Grotto. Although Zhou Wen knew of the existence of Ancient Yang Cave, he had never been to it in-game.

Originally he was not interested in the Cave, but he still had to participate in the club's events. Hence, he went along with Li Xuan and company.

The Buddha statues and Buddhist shrines in the Ancient Yang Cave were dazzling. Just as they entered, they saw a moving stone pillar. On careful look, it was a giant turtle carrying a stone tablet crawling on the ground.

"Let me repeat again. When killing the Mounted Tablet Beast, make sure not to touch the Buddha statues or the Buddhist shrines. Otherwise, no one can save you if something bad happens," Li Xuan exhorted again.

"Brother Li, don't worry. We know the rules. We guarantee that we won't break them," Tian Xiangdong said as he patted his chest.

"That's good. After all, there's not much danger in Ancient Yang Cave. The Mounted Tablet Beast crawls very slowly. As long as you don't court death, it probably won't be able to harm you. Everyone split up and do whatever you need to do. You can all find Mounted Tablet Beasts for yourselves." Li Xuan immediately began as he charged towards the Mounted Tablet Beast.

Gu Dian and Fang Ruoxi went in different directions to search for the Mounted Tablet Beasts hidden in the Ancient Yang Cave.

However, Zhou Wen stood rooted to the ground as he watched Li Xuan attack the Mounted Tablet Beast. At the same time, he looked at the stone tablet text on the back of the Mounted Tablet Beast.

The words on the tablet danced and moved in a strange way. The strokes were full, straight, and filled with spirituality. It had an unbound beauty.

Zhou Wen didn't know calligraphy, but when he saw the words on the tablet, he thought of the mysterious stone monuments he had seen.

The stone tablet on the back of the Mounted Tablet Beast couldn't match the mysterious stone monuments Zhou Wen had seen. Nor did it have any mysterious power lingering on. It was likely something ordinary.

However, after reading through the information regarding Ancient Yang Cave, Zhou Wen's heart stirred. The species of the Mounted Tablet Beast corresponds to the Dragon Gate Nineteen Pieces. Does that mean that at the last piece of the Dragon Gate Twenty Pieces, there's a corresponding dimensional creature and Primordial Energy Skill? But why haven't I heard of any other Mounted Tablet Beasts outside the Ancient Yang Cave?

Zhou Wen checked the information regarding the Dragon Gate Twenty Pieces and discovered that nineteen of them were in Ancient Yang Cave. Only one piece was located outside Old Dragon Cave at Cixiang Kiln.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Wen couldn't help but recall something. Wang Lu had previously mentioned that one could hear a dragon's roar near Old Dragon Cave and that there was a treasure halo that appeared at night. Apparently, it was close to Cixiang Kiln.

Chapter 144 Rising Sun Monument

It killed Wei Ge to meet John again, but he had no choice but to take him around to experience campus life at Sunset College.

In the past, Wei Ge had been the center of attention wherever he went. He had been the target of all the girls' passionate gazes. But with John by his side, Wei Ge felt as if his brilliance had been completely overshadowed.

He felt it now as they were touring the campus. There was a large group of girls following them, however, the girls who used to only have eyes for him were now staring unblinkingly at John. Their eyes were almost in the shapes of hearts.

"Is this Sunset College's Rising Sun Monument?" John stood in front of a monument made of white jade and stared at the rows of names on it.

"That's right. This is the Rising Sun Monument. The names of the top ten students of each year's comprehensive test are engraved on it as a way to inspire future students. If they make it onto the rankings several times, there will be a star-shaped mark beside their names. The number of stars tells you how many times the student has had their name appear on the Rising Sun Monument while schooling," said Wei Ge proudly.

He had been on the rankings ever since he was in his sophomore year. Together with the current year, he had already been on the rankings twice. He was bound to appear on the rankings next year, in his final year.

Only a small group of elites in Sunset College attained such rankings for three consecutive years. This was an illustrious result that one could be proud of.

"President Wei's cultivation is superb and his sword skills are peerless. I guess you definitely make it onto the rankings?" John asked with a smile.

"I was lucky enough to get on the rankings twice." Wei Ge pointed at his name on the monument.

"Hui Haifeng, Feng Qiuyan, and Wang Lu are both highly talented, so they should be on this list, right?" John asked again.

"Indeed. They were in the top ten in the comprehensive test this year." Wei Ge pointed them out one by one, but he could already feel that something was amiss.

"Eh, that's weird." John looked at the Sun Rise Monument and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Ge had already realized something as he shot a look at John. However, he didn't follow up on the topic, as if he hadn't heard John's words of surprise.

Although Wei Ge didn't respond, one of the girls following them asked, "What's so strange, John?"

Wei Ge wanted nothing more than to give the girl a slap, thinking that this woman was truly stupid.

John pointed at the name on the monument and said, "President Wei, you and the others are all elite talents, being able to advance to the Legendary stage before reaching twenty. It's not surprising that you could make the rankings. However, on this entire Rising Sun Monument, other than one person, all of them are at the Legendary stage. Why is this person's name on it despite being only at the Mortal stage?"

"The person you're talking about is Zhou Wen, right? Although he is only at the Mortal stage, his strength is indeed astonishing. He obtained the stunning results of three perfect scores and one short of perfect at nine during the comprehensive test. He's indeed a genius, so it's not surprising that he made the rankings," the girl from before added.

John pulled up the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhou Wen's name on the monument. "I never expected such a genius to exist in this world. To be able to enter the top ten of Sunset College's comprehensive test at the Mortal stage makes him a truly rare sight. Since I'm here at Sunset College, I have to see him for myself. Otherwise, wouldn't this be a longing regret?"

Wei Ge's expression changed slightly before it immediately reverted to its original state. He looked at John and said, "Zhou Wen is indeed a genius. However, he's still at the Mortal stage. It's probably not appropriate for you to spar with him, right?"

Although Wei Ge didn't have a good impression of Zhou Wen, as the student council president of Sunset College, he still stood in the position of upholding the school's reputation.

John said indifferently, "President Wei, that's not right. There were many experts at Sunset College's comprehensive test. Even the top twenty-three are probably Legendary experts. For a Mortal stage to be able to defeat so many Legendary experts, and for you, President Wei, Feng Qiuyan, and company, to be similarly ranked in the top ten, isn't it odd that you're now telling me that he doesn't have the ability to fight someone at the Legendary stage? Could it be that Zhou Wen's results weren't obtained by his strength alone? If that's the case, I suggest that his name be promptly removed from the Rising Sun Monument, lest it mars the reputation of Sunset College. Those not in the know might even come to the impression that students of Sunset College only know how to cheat."

Wei Ge's expression changed as he replied firmly, "Zhou Wen's results are real. Students from Sunset College never cheat."

"In that case, I would like to see how this Mortal stage genius managed to enter the top ten of the comprehensive test…" John said with a smile.

Zhou Wen was gaming on his bed when he suddenly heard his phone ring. When he saw that it was a call from Li Xuan, he chose to answer.

"Old Zhou, bad news. That bastard John is too sinister." Li Xuan's resentful voice sounded.

"Calm down. What happened? Tell me slowly." Zhou Wen wasn't flustered at all.

"That bastard is standing in front of the Rising Sun Monument…" Li Xuan recounted what had happened and continued anxiously, "This matter has blown up quite a bit. The school doesn't have a way out, so this matter probably won't be easy to settle."

"Got it." When Zhou Wen heard the doorbell ring, he said to Li Xuan, "Someone's pressing the doorbell. It might be Ms. Wang Fei. I'll talk to you later."

"What do you plan on doing?" Li Xuan asked again.

"What else can I do if others come knocking at my door?" Zhou Wen hung up after saying that.

Opening the door, it was indeed Wang Fei. She looked at Zhou Wen and sighed. "Zhou Wen…"

Just as she said that, Zhou Wen cut her off. "Ms. Wang, I can fight. Take me there."

Wang Fei was stunned. Seeing Zhou Wen's indifferent expression, as though he had already made a decision, she still asked, "Have you decided?""Yes, don't worry. Even if I can't win, I definitely won't embarrass the school," Zhou Wen said.

"Just do your best." Wang Fei didn't believe that Zhou Wen could defeat John. If possible, she would rather Zhou Wen not fight.

However, the matter had blown up so much that it might even affect the reputation of Sunset College. Regardless of whether it was victory or defeat, Zhou Wen needed to step forward to battle John.

The school held no hopes of Zhou Wen defeating John. They only hoped that he wouldn't lose too terribly so that they could have a chance of spinning it in a better light.

Wang Fei didn't wish for Zhou Wen to fight, afraid that the positive attitude he had recently established would crumble from the beating.

John's family background was better than An Jing's. His achievements were not much worse than An Jing's, and might even be better.

Back then, Zhou Wen didn't even manage to withstand a single blow from An Jing. This time, the outcome wasn't optimistic either.

Chapter 145 Ten Minutes

"Since you are doubting the standards of our Sunset College students, I'll fight you." A cold voice was heard in front of the Rising Sun Monument. Everyone turned their heads and saw the deadpan An Jing approach John.

John said with a smile, "Miss An, I believe you are mistaken. I'm not doubting Sunset College's teaching ability or strength of its students. I'm very respectful to students like President Wei, Hui Haifeng, Feng Qiuyan, Wang Lu, and you, Miss An. All of you are truly capable students. As for Zhou Wen, I was originally very respectful to him. I wanted to get to know this rare genius, but your attitude has left me somewhat puzzled. This matter had nothing to do with me to begin with, but since I'm an exchange student here at Sunset College, I'm considered part of it during this period of time. I don't wish for the college's reputation to be sullied."

"You don't dare to fight me?" She stared at John quietly.

John continued with a smile. "Miss An, are you upholding Zhou Wen's honor or Sunset College's? Could it be that this Zhou Wen is truly lacking in strength and cheated to obtain a spot that should have belonged to another student?"

John's doubts caused the students of Sunset College who were watching to whisper amongst themselves. Clearly, everyone became suspicious.

Previously, when Zhou Wen obtained the spot, there were already people who suspected him. However, there was no evidence back then, so no one mentioned it. Now that John mentioned it, the previous suspicions were magnified.

"There's absolutely no such thing. Our Sunset College categorically forbids cheating. Once they are discovered, they are immediately expelled," an official from the college hurriedly explained. However, no matter what he said, he was unable to dispel the suspicions of those students.

"Unless Zhou Wen comes out to fight me to prove to everyone that he isn't any worse than the other students in the top ten, it's hardly convincing," John said with a smile.

"How shall it be proven? By defeating you?" An Jing was about to say something when she suddenly heard a voice.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhou Wen walk over and stand in front of the Rising Sun Monument.

"It might be a little too harsh on you to talk about defeating me. Weapons or empty-handed, strength, speed, and endurance, or even if it's a battle of Companion Beasts, you can choose any one type. As long as you can last ten minutes without being defeated, it's your win." John was forcing Zhou Wen to have no way out.

"That bastard John is so sinister," Li Xuan cursed under his breath.

Now, he finally understood why John hadn't directly challenged Zhou Wen when he first came to the college. His intentions were extremely sinister.

If Zhou Wen were to fight John as one of the students who interacted with him in the beginning, he could just admit defeat if he wasn't his match.

But now that things had reached this stage, if Zhou Wen couldn't hold on for more than ten minutes, not only would Zhou Wen lose face, but even Sunset College's reputation would be tarnished.

Therefore, Zhou Wen had to persist for ten minutes regardless. And in these ten minutes, John could do whatever he wanted.

John definitely wouldn't dare kill Zhou Wen at Sunset College, but he could teach him a lesson that he would never forget.

An Jing naturally saw through John's intentions and said to Zhou Wen, "Zhou Wen, you don't need to prove anything to others."

"Since you are so lacking in confidence, how about this? I won't do a thing. As long as you can last ten minutes without being defeated in front of one of my Companion Beasts, I'll count it as you winning. How can a top ten student of Sunset College's comprehensive test not be able to complete such a simple matter?" John looked at Zhou Wen mockingly.

"Ten minutes?" Zhou Wen asked John.

"That's right. Just ten minutes." John couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhou Wen about to agree.

"Ten minutes is too long." Zhou Wen shook his head.

"Oh, then how long do you think you can last?" John looked at Zhou Wen with piqued interest. It was beyond his expectations that Zhou Wen was actually showing signs of weakness in front of so many people.

"One minute." Zhou Wen thought seriously before giving a number.

With Zhou Wen's words, the surrounding Sunset College students felt ashamed. After all, Zhou Wen was in the top ten of the comprehensive test, so for him to admit that he could only last a minute in front of John's Companion Beast was a disgrace to Sunset College.

"A minute is indeed short, but since you have spoken, let's do it," John said with a smile that had no mirth in it.

John thought to himself, Even if it's only a minute, I can still cripple you. How dare you treat my sister that way. I will definitely settle this score with you.

There were special combat grounds in the school. Under the guidance of the college staff, the two of them arrived at the venue.

This matter had long spread across Sunset College. Many students had come to watch, but there were very few counselors. Apart from Wang Fei and a few other counselors and staff who maintained order at the scene, there was basically no sight of the college's upper management.

The college's upper management could roughly guess how Zhou Wen had entered the top ten. However, they didn't hold it against him because of the An family. From their point of view, Zhou Wen was bound to lose to John in combat, so no one wanted to embarrass themselves here.

"Will Zhou Wen be alright?" Fang Ruoxi asked worriedly.

"Old Zhou will definitely be fine if it's just a minute, but…" Li Xuan said.

"But what?" Fang Ruoxi asked.

"I have a nagging feeling that things aren't that simple. Old Zhou's personality seems mild and uncompetitive, but he's a very proud person deep down. He shouldn't…" Li Xuan didn't continue.

When Li Xuan saw Feng Qiuyan sitting by the side, he asked, "Little Feng, you fought with John. What are your thoughts?"

"John is very strong, a minute will be very difficult," Feng Qiuyan said.

Li Xuan, Fang Ruoxi, and Tian Xiangdong were alarmed. Tian Xiangdong said in disbelief, "Is John so strong that Zhou Wen won't even last a minute?"

Feng Qiuyan said calmly, "It's indeed difficult to defeat John in a minute, but Coach might have his own ideas."

Tian Xiangdong's and Li Xuan's mouths widened so much that an egg could be stuffed into them. They looked at Feng Qiuyan like he was an alien.

"Did I hear wrongly just now? Are you saying that Zhou Wen wants to defeat John in a minute? Is that what Zhou Wen meant by a minute?" Tian Xiangdong felt his mind become a mess.

However, Li Xuan slapped his thigh. "I knew it. How could Old Zhou be so cowardly? That's right, that must be the case."

As the few of them spoke, John had already summoned his Companion Beast. Many of the onlookers shouted its name when they saw it.

Chapter 146 One Minute Is Too Long

"Knight of the Round Table!" Li Xuan cried out softly when he saw John summon his Companion Beast.

Among the many dimensional zones in the West district, Camelot was undoubtedly one of the most famous.

There was only one dimensional creature in Camelot—the legendary Knights of the Round Table. They were rare in number, and each one of them had different abilities.

To be able to obtain a Knight of the Round Table Companion Beast was like a dream to Legendary cultivators in the West district.

In the West district, a Knight of the Round Table Companion Beast was synonymous with being invincible at the Legendary stage. It was not only because they were powerful, but also because of another important reason: Other than a Knight of the Round Table's own abilities, they were also one of the few Companion Beasts who could be augmented by their owner's strength.

The more powerful the person with a Knight of the Round Table was, the more it boosted the Knight. This made him almost invincible at the Legendary stage.

There was a very famous West district expert who had used Galahad of the Knights of the Round Table to be unparalleled in Companion Beast combat in the West district.

John's Knight was riding a black horse, carrying a steel spear that made him look extremely majestic. He wore a medal signifying his status as a knight of the Round Table.

"That's Holy Spear Knight of the Knights of the Round Table. Legend has it that he corresponds to the Round Table knight, Lamorak. He's one of the three most powerful Round Table knights. His usage of spears is nearly invincible. He once defeated thirty knights single-handedly and is an extremely powerful Legendary Companion Beast. With John's augmentation of the Round Table knight, it wouldn't be too much to say that he's one of the strongest Companion Beasts at the Legendary stage." Wang Lu identified the Round Table knight's origins.

"Is Zhou Wen alright?" Li Xuan began to worry. It wouldn't be easy for Zhou Wen to defeat such a powerful Companion Beast in a minute.

Wang Fei was also astonished when she saw the Holy Spear Knight.

There were very few dimensional creatures in Camelot, so the number of Companion Beasts produced was limited. Every Round Table knight's owner was very famous, so it was unexpected for John to have one.

However, Round Table knights were usually one of a kind. She had never heard of two Round Table knights appearing at the same time. According to what she knew, the Holy Spear Knight originally belonged to an Epic expert in the West district, but now, it was appearing with John.

Although Sunset College also produced knight-type Companion Beasts in the dimensional zones, they were naturally inferior to the world-renowned Knights of the Round Table.

John looked at Zhou Wen and said, "This is my Companion Beast Holy Spear Knight. He only has one active Primordial Energy Skill—Spear of the Holy Steed, but the might of this spear is nearly invincible amongst its peers. However, since you are one of the top ten students at Sunset College, it shouldn't be difficult for you to last a minute under his spear, right?"

"Are… are you ready?" John narrowed his eyes and asked Zhou Wen.

"I'll be done soon." Zhou Wen had planned on using the banana fan to just blow away John's Companion Beast, but after seeing the Holy Spear Knight, he dispelled the thought.

As he spoke, Zhou Wen extended his hand and beckoned. A crimson beam of light flew out, materializing in front of him to form a red-armored knight on a red horse. It was a mighty knight that resembled a devil.

"A Demonized General… No… It's not an ordinary Demonized General. It's a word-engraved Demonized General… Why is the word engraved on its helmet a little odd…?" The students from Sunset College immediately recognized the Mutated Demonized General and began stirring.

Even Wang Fei was somewhat surprised. Zhou Wen actually obtained a word-engraved Demonized General as a Companion Beast? Isn't his luck too good? How many days has it been since he obtained the Tiger Cage Pass's entry pass? He actually managed to have a Mutated Demonized General's Companion Egg drop. Furthermore, that word-engraved Demonized General is a little odd. Why isn't the helmet engraved with Blade, Paper, Fist, but Demon?

"F*ck, Old Zhou is amazing. He managed to obtain a Mutated Demonized General's Companion Egg without anyone knowing. However, can itl beat a Holy Spear Knight?" Li Xuan said.

"I don't know. In theory, Holy Spear Knight should be stronger. After all, he can be augmented by his owner's power. In contrast, the Mutated Demonized General doesn't have this ability. He can only rely on himself," said Wang Lu in thought.

"I'm ready now," Zhou Wen said.

"A knight versus a knight? That's interesting. I'll show you what a real knight is." John proudly raised his finger and gently swiped it. "The time starts now."

As though he had received an emperor's order, the Holy Spear Knight lifted up his spear and launched an attack at Zhou Wen and the Mutated Demonized General.

As the charge increased in speed, a terrifying spear beam emitted from the Holy Spear Knight's spear. The spear beam pierced through the air, and formed a swirl that was visible to the naked eye. It was like a hurricane that effused a terrifying holy luster that charged at the Mutated Demonized General.

Zhou Wen didn't make any moves as the Mutated Demonized General charged out as well. The red-armored spear was like a red flame.

The white and red horses charged forward at the same time, like two hurricanes sweeping through the battlefield, hitting each other in an instant.

Bam!

The red spear clashed with the holy spear. The terrifying power tore through the air, creating a piercing explosion.

This strike was actually a tie. John couldn't help but frown slightly as he couldn't accept the outcome.

The Holy Spear Knight failed to gain the upper hand despite being augmented by his powers. It left him somewhat astonished by the power of the Mutated Demonized General.

The spectating students were also excited. The Mutated Demonized General was actually on par with the famous Knight of the Round Table. It made them yearn for one and wished that they could head over to Tiger Cage Pass to have a Mutated Demonized General's Companion Egg drop.

However, just as everyone thought that the clash had ended, the Mutated Demonized General's other hand clenched into a fist and bombarded the Holy Spear Knight.

Bam!

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the Holy Spear Knight's body was sent flying from the horse's back. He flew more than ten meters before landing on the ground. The knight lost grip of his spear as it fell far away. The heavy armor on his chest also cracked, while his helmet rolled to the side.

Before the Holy Spear Knight could stand up again, the Mutated Demonized General on the horse that resembled a devil, struck out with another palm. A blood-red saber beam slashed through the air, chopping off the Holy Spear Knight's head.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that everyone stared in shock. Even John himself had yet to react. His Holy Spear Knight had been killed the moment the face-off began.

"One minute… From the looks of it, it's still too long…" Zhou Wen looked at the Holy Spear Knight's corpse and spoke without expression.

Chapter 147 Rebellious Knight

"What's that? Was I seeing things? That Mutated Demonized General seems to have used two Primordial Energy Skills of fist and blade at the same time, am I right? Is there such a Demonized General?" A student from Sunset College stared at the scene with widened eyes.

"Haha, what Knight of the Round Table. He's far inferior to our Demonized General."

"Ten minutes was indeed too long. A minute was too long as well. What Zhou Wen said was right. Haha."

"I knew it. How could someone from Sunset College cheat? Zhou Wen's results must be real. With this Companion Beast, he's qualified to be in the top ten."

"Isn't Zhou Wen at the Mortal stage? Can a Mortal stage use a Legendary Companion Beast?"

As the students were in a flurry of discussion, Wang Fei wore an odd look as well. What's going on with that Demonized General? It has both fist and blade techniques. Is this another mutation of the Mutated Demonized General?

"Old Zhou, amazing. The Mutated Demonized General is truly powerful," Li Xuan said with a laugh.

John's eyes narrowed as he stared at Zhou Wen and said slowly, "Sunset College is indeed worthy of its reputation. I've underestimated you. I lost just now. You have the right to fight me. Do you dare fight me seriously in battle?"

"Tch, I thought a saint from the West district would be impressive. So they are just people who can't afford to lose," Li Xuan curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"John, you've already lost," An Jing said coldly.

John remained unmoved as he continued staring at Zhou Wen. "Are you afraid of accepting the real challenge?"

"You've already lost. I'm not interested in people who have been previously defeated," Zhou Wen said calmly before turning to leave.

John's expression turned ugly as he clenched his fists tightly and stared intently at Zhou Wen's back. "Do you dare to fight me with the Cape family's honor on the line as well as this Rebellious Knight Companion Egg?"

Those who had heard of the name Rebellious Knight were alarmed. Even Zhou Wen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at John.

"The Rebellious Knight you mentioned is the one that's strongest among the Knights of the Round Table?" Zhou Wen asked.

"That's right. The most powerful Knight of the Round Table-Lancelot. If you can defeat me, you can have him." John took out a Companion Egg.

The egg emitted resplendent holy light and the flawless shell that resembled jade had the marks of a sword and shield.

Zhou Wen stared at the Companion Egg and was truly tempted.

Lancelot was known as the strongest Round Table knight, but it was also because of his existence that it fractured the Knights of the Round Table and the legend of King Arthur.

He was somewhat similar to a General Lu Bu in the history of East district. They were all tragedies that were a result of a woman and eventually ended a great legend.

Besides other things, Lancelot was indeed an invincible Round Table knight of that era. If the Rebellious Knight really corresponded to Lancelot, then it was likely to be even stronger than the Holy Spear Knight that John had used.

Zhou Wen didn't doubt the authenticity of the Rebellious Knight Companion Egg. The Cape family was one of the Six League Heroes' family clans, so for John to dare say such things about betting on the Cape's family's honor, there was no need to use a fake Legendary Companion Egg to ruin the reputation of the family.

"Since you are betting with Rebellious Knight, I can give you a chance. However, victory and defeat require a clear definition. You can't just let me kill you here, can you?" Zhou Wen spoke very seriously.

When people heard this, they felt like Zhou Wen was looking down on John, as though he was saying that John would lose without a doubt and that he would go back on his word when he lost.

John's eyes twitched a few times, but he suppressed the anger in his heart.

He had paid a heavy price for underestimating Zhou Wen. Now, he needed to fight him again. He believed that it was easy for him to defeat him with his strength. A real battle wasn't as simple as relying on a powerful Companion Beast. John was confident that he could repress Zhou Wen and his Companion Beast.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm himself down and maintain his usual composure. He took out a pen and drew a circle on his chest.

"It's your victory as long as you can touch this area," John said as he pointed at the circle on his chest.

"Alright." Zhou Wen nodded, but he had no intention of drawing a circle on his chest. It was as though he was saying that he wouldn't lose.

When John saw Zhou Wen acting in such a manner, he felt even more infuriated. However, it also matched his thoughts. He had no intention of easily defeating Zhou Wen.

Not only did he want to defeat Zhou Wen, he also wanted Zhou Wen to pay the price for the matter regarding Liz.

When Wang Fei heard that Zhou Wen had agreed to fight John again, she couldn't help but frown.

Zhou Wen had defeated John by surprise with a powerful Companion Beast. He should have quit while he was ahead, but now, he had been enticed by the Companion Egg and agreed to the battle. It was somewhat irrational.

"Feng Qiuyan, in your opinion, what are the chances of Zhou Wen winning?" Li Xuan asked Feng Qiuyan.

Although he was most familiar with Zhou Wen, he didn't know much about John. Furthermore, he was biased, so he couldn't make an accurate judgment.

Feng Qiuyan pondered for a moment before saying, "Coach is indeed very strong. If both of them are at the Legendary stage, I think that Coach will definitely win. But if Coach hasn't advanced to the Legendary stage yet, it's hard to say. After all, they will be one level apart."

As he spoke, John walked towards Zhou Wen. At the same time, a golden light condensed on him, transforming into a golden armor that enveloped his entire body.

John clenched his right hand slightly as a gorgeous sword with embedded gems appeared in his hand.

He was tall and handsome. With the gold armor and long sword as a foil for him, he looked mighty and domineering, like a legendary hero knight that saved the world.

With John's footsteps, his entire body and sword emitted a strange glow. The light seemed to condense into something corporeal that could be seen with the naked eye.

"Is that the famous battle aura Primordial Energy Art of the West district?" Li Xuan and company widened their eyes as they looked at John.

They had only seen battle aura in videos and teaching materials. This was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes.

"Battle aura Primordial Energy Arts are rather common in the West district. It's somewhat different from our East district's Primordial Energy Arts. It's not as converged as our Primordial Energy Art. Typical battle aura arts are more domineering. Once one reaches the Legendary stage, they will have the ability to release their battle aura which has destructive power and is also slightly stronger than most of the East district's Primordial Energy Arts, Wang Lu said.

At this moment, John, who was less than ten meters away from Zhou Wen, suddenly sped up. He leaped up and slashed at Zhou Wen with both hands wielding his sword.

All the battle aura in him condensed on the sword and transformed into a sword beam that was several meters long. It instantly slashed at Zhou Wen's head.

Chapter 148 Super Meat Shield

That strike was too fast and powerful. It was rare to see a sword beam several meters long in the East district.

Although there were quite a number of Primordial Energy Arts and Primordial Energy Skills that allowed the projection of force in the East district, they were usually more converged, so there weren't any exaggerated effects.

However, to be able to slash out a sword beam that was several meters long meant that John's strength was indeed extraordinary. Typically, the West district Legendary cultivators who cultivated battle aura and similar Primordial Energy Skills would only produce sword beams that were about a meter long. To have one spanning several meters was truly terrifying.

"This John didn't reveal his true strength when he was sparring with us. That strike was much stronger than what he previously demonstrated," Feng Qiuyan said.

"Will Old Zhou, be alright?" Li Xuan was alarmed when he saw the might of the strike.

It wasn't only Li Xuan. Many of the spectating students were worried for Zhou Wen when they saw such an exaggerated strike, afraid that he would be split into two by the sword.

The two counselors who were in charge of refereeing were already prepared to save Zhou Wen at moment's notice.

Zhou Wen looked at the cleave without any intention of fighting. With a casual wave of his hand, a golden beam of light flashed as a ferocious-looking Golden Warrior appeared in front of him.

The mighty Golden Warrior completely shielded Zhou Wen's body as it raised its palm to meet John's terrifying battle aura sword beam.

Clang!

An earth-shattering metallic clang sounded. The battle aura golden beam shattered like broken glass in the palm of the three-eyed warrior. The visual impact it dealt on the students made many of them crane their necks to see.

John's sword cleaved onto the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's palm, but it failed to proceed further with the huge palm in the way.

"Holy sh*t, Three-Eyed Golden Warrior! That guy actually had another Three-Eyed Golden Warrior drop!" Li Xuan felt as if he was going mad.

Zhou Wen had a Three-Eyed Golden Warrior drop not too long ago. Back then he gave it to Li Xuan and had said that he could get one to drop for himself if he needed it.

Li Xuan had scoffed at it. The Three-Eyed Golden Warrior was so rare that people didn't usually encounter one in months. Even if one did, the chances of a Companion Egg dropping was pathetic.

However, how long had it been? Zhou Wen had actually managed to produce another Three-Eyed Diamond? It made Li Xuan suspect that Zhou Wen had reincarnated ten times as a virgin. Otherwise, how could he have such good luck? The heavens had to be compensating him for the miseries in his past lives.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

John unleashed a flurry of slashes with his long sword, but they were all blocked by the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior. Even if it directly hit the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior, it merely left a faint mark.

The Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's Golden Body and Invulnerable Golden Power made its physical defenses stand at the peak of the Legendary stage. The only weakness was its third eye. Unless the third eye was hit, even Zhou Wen himself would find it difficult to injure it.

"Three-Eyed Golden Warrior, Mutated Demonized General. Zhou Wen is just too enviable. Those are Companion Beasts that can't even be bought with money!"

"Ignoring everything else, Zhou Wen's Companion Beasts are truly powerful, but he should have advanced to the Legendary stage. Otherwise, how could he incubate such a powerful Legendary Companion Beast?"

"The Heavens are unfair. Just give me one of the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior or Mutated Demonized General."

"That punk, John, must be feeling depressed. After slashing so many times, he hasn't even managed to injure the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior. How can he fight Zhou Wen?"

The students discussed fervently, mostly envious of Zhou Wen for having two rare Legendary Companion Beasts.

John originally believed that with his powerful strength, it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill the Companion Beast in front of him. He wanted to kill Zhou Wen's beloved Companion Beast just like Zhou Wen had killed Holy Spear Knight. He wanted Zhou Wen to experience what it felt like to lose a Companion Beast before dealing with him.

But very quickly, John's expression turned extremely ugly. This was because he knew that even if he used all his strength, there was no way he could hurt the Companion Beast in front of him. It was a meat shield-type Companion Beast with powerful defense. It would be meaningless if he continued fighting. It would only be a waste of his Primordial Energy.

It was already too late by the time he realized this. His Primordial Energy at the Legendary stage was limited, and he had already expended most of it.

Wang Fei looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior standing in front of Zhou Wen in a daze. He had managed to have two such Companion Beasts-ones that might not even be purchasable with money, drop in such a short period of time.

With her relationship with Ouyang Lan, she naturally knew that Zhou Wen hadn't accepted the An family's help. For him to obtain such a Companion Beast, it was definitely something he had obtained on his own.

This fellow actually managed to kill Mutated Demonized Generals and Three-Eyed Golden Warriors. He's probably no longer at the Mortal stage, right? Wang Fei looked at Zhou Wen and suddenly felt infuriated.

She had worked so hard to help Zhou Wen grow stronger, but who knew that Zhou Wen had already advanced to the Legendary stage? To think she had been worried for him, afraid that he would lose too terribly.

This punk just needs to be punished. I should intensify the level of his training in the future, Wang Fei thought viciously.

While feeling indignant, Wang Fei felt somewhat excited. Before Zhou Wen entered Sunset College, he was definitely at the Mortal stage. In just a short span of time, he had already advanced to the Legendary stage. Furthermore, he had managed to kill such powerful Legendary creatures in Tiger Cage Pass and the Myriad Buddha Cave.

Such strength was worthy of the word "genius." If he were to be properly trained in the future, she might really be able to produce a great cultivator.

Sis Lan sure has sharp eyes. Zhou Wen's talent is indeed not bad and his luck isn't bad. If he can obtain a special physique in the Holy Land, he might really have the chance to step into the Mythical stage in the future. Wang Fei felt her heart beat faster when she thought of the possibility of producing a Mythical expert. Her cheeks flushed a little red from the rapid circulation of her blood.

John had already stopped attacking. He wanted to retreat and recover his expended Primordial Energy before circling around the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior to attack Zhou Wen.

He knew very well that such super meat shield-type Companion Beasts weren't fast at all. With his speed and movement techniques, it wasn't difficult for him to circle around the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior. If he hadn't wanted to kill Zhou Wen's Companion Beast, he wouldn't have been placed in such a passive position.

However, the moment he retreated, Zhou Wen, who had been standing behind the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior, suddenly moved. Like a ghost, he chased up to the retreating John and extended his palm to strike at his chest.

John was alarmed and furious. Zhou Wen had grasped the perfect opportunity when he was retreating. His strength was receding and his center of gravity was shifted backward, making it impossible for him to counterattack.

Chapter 149 The Might of a Flap

Light patterns on John's chest emerged and turned into a warrior raising a shield in front of him.

Zhou Wen struck the tower shield with his palm, but only managed to make the warrior retreat half a step.

John's expression was cold as his Primordial Energy churned. His hair flared up and he had a crown-shaped mark of light on his forehead.

Zhou Wen was no stranger to this mark. It belonged to one of the six heroes, the Holy Emperor's hero mark, which also represented the Holy Emperor's special physique—the Holy Emperor Body.

John's current condition was a sign that the Holy Emperor Body was being activated. Then, there was no need to guess what John would do next.

"Oh no, John is actually going to use Holy Light Judgment in a spar like this?" An Jing's expression changed drastically, but it was too late to help.

Others might not know how terrifying Holy Light Judgment was, but An Jing had seen the terror of the Holy Light Judgment in the An family's database. Although John definitely couldn't reach the level of the Holy Emperor, a Primordial Energy Skill like Holy Light Judgment was extremely terrifying. It was difficult for opponents of the same level to resist it.

Indeed, John clasped his fingers together as he raised his arms and slashed at Zhou Wen.

As he moved, a dazzling glow like the sun burst out from his tightly-locked hands, transforming into a huge blade of light that slashed down.

The blade of light was more than twenty meters long and it was extremely fast. It cleaved down at Zhou Wen like it was a manifestation of lightning, reaching him almost instantaneously.

At that moment, John, who was emitting holy light, looked like a representative of God in the mortal world. He used the power of God to judge the guilty.

Not good… The two counselors who were watching the scene phased away at the same time, hoping to save Zhou Wen before Holy Light Judgment landed.

The spectating students stood up. This attack was too terrifying, one that was far beyond the typical Legendary stage. If Zhou Wen couldn't withstand it, he would probably be killed by this strike.

A cold look flashed in Zhou Wen's eyes, but he didn't have any intention of dodging. Instead, he advanced and extended his hand and beckoned. A small palm-sized fan that resembled jadeite appeared in his hand as he flapped it towards the approaching John who seemed to be delivering God's punishment.

Bam!

Under the shocked looks of the crowd, the terrifying blade of light—the manifestation of Holy Light Judgment—was shattered like glass in a hurricane. John's glowing body was sent flying by the fan and slammed into the tempered glass that lined the borders of the arena and shattered it.

Instantly, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at John, who was struggling to get up from amidst the glass shards.

He was unable to get up even after repeated struggles. His body was still curled up as he shivered, like a creature that was about to freeze to death in an ice cellar.

Bam!

Zhou Wen walked in front of John and stepped on his chest. He looked down at him and said coldly, "Do you want to do it again? I can give you another chance."

John was furious and embarrassed. He had the reputation of being a saint in the West district and was known to be invincible among peers of the same stage. He had never suffered such humiliation in Covenant College. In his anger, anxiety, and embarrassment, together with the injuries caused by the Grand Yin Wind, he spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

The two counselors who had rushed in to rescue Zhou Wen were taken aback, momentarily unable to recover from their shock. They had rushed in for a situation completely different from the outcome. It left them at a loss.

"Counselors, I'll have to trouble you with the rest." Zhou Wen didn't care if John was dead or alive as he took out the Round Table knight Companion Egg from John's backpack and bowed slightly at the two counselors.

"Alright." One of the counselors finally snapped back to attention and quickly went up to check on John's injuries.

After all, John was a descendant of the Cape family, and he had inherited the physique of a hero. If he died at Sunset College, it would be a huge problem.

Zhou Wen wasn't fazed by this and left after taking the Companion Egg.

"What just happened?"

"Damn, I didn't see clearly what was going on just now. Why was John, who was like a god descending to the mortal world, sent flying?"

"I saw it. Zhou Wen waved a green fan in his hand at John, sending his sword beam flying together with him.

"That John looks quite scary, but why is he so weak? He can't even withstand one strike."

"Zhou Wen sure is terrifying when it comes to strength. Although he relied on the powers of his Companion Beasts, they are still a part of his strength."

"This Zhou Wen's background is probably extraordinary. A typical family student wouldn't have so many powerful Companion Beasts even if they advanced to the Legendary stage."

After Zhou Wen left, the students snapped to their senses and began discussing excitedly. The main topic was Zhou Wen's Companion Beasts, and the most discussed topic was the Companion Beast which manifested as a green fan.

"Old Zhou, you finally made a name for yourself. You sent Saint John flying with a fan. It's simply exhilarating. What kind of Companion Beast is that fan of yours? It's really too powerful," Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen excitedly as they walked to the dorm.

"He's just too weak." Zhou Wen didn't answer Li Xuan's question. It wasn't easy to explain the Banana Fairy's origins, and Zhou Wen didn't want to tax his brain to fabricate a story, much less deceive his friend.

Li Xuan didn't ask further either as the two returned to the dorm.

John's defeat at Sunset College had not only caused a stir at Sunset College, but also caused a great stir in Covenant College.

John, a formerly undefeated hero's successor, one who had the title of saint, had been beaten up by someone at Sunset College. Furthermore, the person wasn't the strongest student at Sunset College. The fact that he barely entered the top ten rankings made it clearly unacceptable to them.

For a moment, the discussion forums of Covenant College seemed to explode. Some people claimed that John was not fit to have the title of a saint, nor was he worthy of being the successor of Holy Emperor.

People also said that John should work harder at his cultivation before defeating Zhou Wen and reclaim his glory.

Zhou Wen wasn't aware of this, nor was he in the mood to care. He had just hatched the Rebellious Knight and was admiring his attributes.

Rebellious Knight: Legendary

Legendary Life Providence: Fate Knight

Strength: 19

Speed: 19

Constitution: 19

Primordial Energy: 19

Talent Skill: Cross Sword, Everlasting Shield, Holy Steed Summoning, Holy Steed Battle Aura

Companion Form: None

It was a Companion Beast with four skills and all its stats reached Overdrive at 19 points. It could be said to be an excellent-grade existence among Legendary Companion Beasts. Its attributes were even more impressive than the Mutated Demonized General.

Chapter 150 Restriction City

Wang Fei hadn't been in a good mood recently. Apparently, she hadn't been in a good mood ever since she had Zhou Wen as a student.

Zhou Wen's defeat of John had cheered her up for a period of time, but soon, there was no more joy in her.

She originally believed that Zhou Wen would establish his confidence, stop giving up on himself, and become a hardworking student after defeating John.

However, the truth was completely opposite to what she had imagined. Since Zhou Wen had defeated John, he hadn't returned to the dimensional zones and just cooped himself in his dorm all day.

According to Wang Fei's investigations, although she didn't know what he was doing in the dorm, Zhou Wen's sunbathing every morning while holding his phone didn't escape her notice. He was clearly playing a game.

Damn you, Zhou Wen. You're like a donkey Every time I whip you twice, you'll take two steps. If I don't whip you, you just stay there and roll around. Do you really think I can't do anything about you? The more Wang Fei thought about it, the angrier she became.

She originally believed that Zhou Wen had finally snapped out of his doldrums, but to her surprise, he immediately returned to his original state after the crisis passed. It was like dowsing Wang Fei's enthusiasm with cold water.

Wang Fei was clearly not someone who could let matters pass. Therefore, she made it her mission to completely free Zhou Wen from the terrible habit of gaming. She wanted him to completely quit his online addiction.

Of course, the reason Wang Fei was so adamant about it was that she didn't want Zhou Wen's talent to be wasted.

He thinks he's impressive just because he defeated John? He's still far from invincible. Furthermore, he relied on his Companion Beasts, not his own abilities… With this in mind, Wang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. She couldn't help but smile as she revealed a bizarre smile. She had another idea once again.

It wasn't that Zhou Wen didn't deliberately go to Tiger Cage Pass. He was just too famous. Recently whenever he went out, there were always students he didn't know coming up to talk to him.

Zhou Wen couldn't ignore others when they came to greet him out of goodwill, but with so many students doing so, he had no time to focus on gaming.

In addition, his Demonized General and Three-Eyed Golden Warrior had already been revealed, so there was no need for him to pretend to head to the dimensional zones. He might as well stay in his dormitory to play games.

Zhou Wen originally believed that he could game in peace, but the new homework mission that Wang Fei assigned washed his plans down the drain.

"Old Zhou, our counselor is treating us, ordinary students, as special admissions students. The homework mission she assigned us is only given to those special admissions students in past years," Li Xuan complained after seeing the homework mission.

"What kind of place is Restriction City?" Zhou Wen asked as he looked at the information on the homework mission.

Their new homework mission was to hunt ten bronze beasts in Restriction City, but Zhou Wen had never heard of a dimensional zone known as Restriction City.

Li Xuan said, "Restriction City is one of the underground cities in Luoyang and is one of the few that's right at the bottom. It isn't considered dangerous, and there are quite a number of dimensional creatures at the Mortal stage in there. The highest-level ones are only Legendary creatures. However, there's something very special about Restriction City. There's no way to use a Companion Beast there. It's impossible to summon them or use their companion form."

"In other words, we need to use our strength to kill ten Legendary creatures?" Zhou Wen understood what Li Xuan meant.

"That's right. This mission has very high standards required of one's own strength. In the past, only special admissions students received this mission. I never expected that this year, our class would actually be given such a homework mission. I'm afraid most of the students will fail. The students in our class must be wailing in despair now," Li Xuan said.

"Is this bronze beast very difficult to kill?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.

Although most of the students were still at the Mortal stage, the mission allowed for up to four people to complete the mission. With the collective strength of four students, killing a Legendary creature wasn't too difficult unless they encountered a creature as powerful as a Mutated Demonized General.

Most of the students had completed the previous mission of killing ordinary Demonized Generals.

"It's not easy to kill. According to the information, the various attributes of the bronze beasts are pretty good. They do not have any obvious weaknesses. Although they aren't considered strong among the Legendary stage, they are extremely difficult to deal with. Under the circumstances of not being able to use a Companion Beast, it's still fine for us at the Legendary stage, but it's probably very difficult for those Mortal-stage students to accomplish it," Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Let's go. Let's head to Restriction City." Zhou Wen suddenly stood up and pulled Li Xuan out.

"Why are you suddenly so pumped up? Aren't you gaming?" Li Xuan was puzzled. Zhou Wen had never been so enthusiastic before.

Zhou Wen said, "Since most of our students are unable to complete the homework mission, don't you think that they will spend money to buy my strategy if I can figure out a strategy?" Zhou Wen said with lit eyes.

"Do you lack money?" Li Xuan was rendered speechless.

"Yes." Zhou Wen nodded seriously.

"Why do you need money? How much do you need?" Li Xuan asked again.

"I wish to invest in Huang Ji's game. I've previously chatted with him and the first round of investment requires a million bucks for him to first create a simplified version. Development will continue when I have more money," Zhou Wen said.

"Are you crazy? What era are we in now? You actually want to invest in developing a game? Are you going to develop it for old people? Young people these days have more and more invested in dimensional zones. Apart from those old people who have never cultivated before, who else would be in the mood to play games?" Li Xuan said.

"Me," Zhou Wen said with a smile.

"That's what depresses me. You game all day, so how are you this strong?" Li Xuan was indeed depressed. On the surface, he appeared to be enjoying himself, but he cultivated hard in private. However, compared to Zhou Wen, his progress was clearly much slower.

"I game to become stronger," Zhou Wen said seriously.

"F*ck off. Stop pulling my leg. I won't fall for your trick." Li Xuan didn't raise the issue of money again. If Zhou Wen really needed it, he wouldn't mind helping him. A million wasn't a huge sum to him.

However, Zhou Wen had indulged in the fantasy of investing in a game. Li Xuan felt that it was best if he wasn't an accomplice in this, so he didn't offer the money.

Zhou Wen had no plans on borrowing money either. He wanted to earn money himself.

Hence, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan went to Restriction City that was deep underground.

Restriction City was in an ancient style. Legend had it that it was the capital city of a certain dynasty in ancient times. It was said to be related to East Zhou, but Zhou Wen didn't know if it was real or fake.

However, after entering Restriction City, he immediately felt as though the Companion Beasts on him had vanished. He no longer had any connection with them.

However, Banana Fairy and Truth Listener were exceptions. Zhou Wen could still sense their existence and could still use his will to communicate with them.

A Mythical pet is indeed extraordinary. Zhou Wen was somewhat delighted.

Chapter 151 Bronze Luck Beast

Restriction City was totally unique. There were bronze beasts and bronze birds everywhere in the city, with smaller creatures such as rabbits, rats, sparrows, and bigger creatures such as tigers, wolves, and peacocks everywhere.

Most of the bronze beasts here were at the Mortal stage, and the students' homework mission was to kill ten Legendary bronze beasts. It looked very simple.

However, without the protection of a Companion Beast, it would be very dangerous for them to charge into a bronze beast horde.

It was fine if ordinary Mortal-level students didn't have Companion Beasts, but Li Xuan and company were unable to use one even if they had one. It was a very unpleasant feeling.

"There are so many bronze beasts. Which one of them is at the Legendary stage?" Zhou Wen looked at the bronze creatures in the city and was momentarily unable to distinguish them.

"There's only one Legendary bronze beast in Restriction City called Bronze Lucky Beast. It's definitely not here. We can only encounter them by walking further in." Li Xuan paused and pointed at the Mortal-level bronze beasts. "It's best you ignore those fellows. Let's charge in and find the Bronze Lucky Beast."

"Why?" Zhou Wen was puzzled.

"There are too many bronze beasts at the Mortal stage. Even if we kill all of them now, another batch will quickly surge in from the spatial rift. There's no way to clear them no matter how fast we kill. Furthermore, they have very low drop rates. No matter how many we kill, nothing of use will drop. There's no need to waste time on them," Li Xuan said as he rushed into the city.

It was rather strange. The bronze beasts and birds in the city were originally motionless like statues, but the moment Li Xuan approached them, the bronze beasts near him came to life and charged at the duo ferociously.

The duo tried their best to avoid their attacks, but once they went past a certain range, the bronze beasts stopped pursuing them. Instead, they automatically returned to their original spots, either crouching or standing, as though they had become statues again.

Only when they reached the crossroads of the city did Li Xuan point at a bronze behemoth's statue and say, "That's the Bronze Luck Beast."

Zhou Wen took a careful look and saw that the statue resembled both a tiger or a lion. It had scales growing on its body, and its tail resembled a snake. On its head was a pair of horns, making it look extremely odd.

"Roar!" The two of them were about fifty meters away from the Bronze Luck Beast when it suddenly came alive. It let out a roar before jumping off the bronze platform and charging at Zhou Wen and Li Xuan like a green beam.

The two quickly dodged, causing the Bronze Luck Beast to miss. Its claws scratched the rock on the ground, leaving deep marks, as though someone had struck it with a sharp ax.

"Is this what you call ordinary?" Zhou Wen knew from its Speed and strength that this fellow was definitely in no way ordinary. It was definitely top-notch at the Legendary stage.

Without using a Companion Beast, Zhou Wen's Strength and Speed were probably inferior to it.

Clang!

Li Xuan's punch landed on the Bronze Luck Beast's body, but his fist turned numb from the impact. He failed to injure it.

"F*ck, how is that possible? The information clearly states that the Bronze Luck Beast's attributes are ordinary. It's only about the same as ordinary Golden Warriors, making it a little harder to kill." Li Xuan was also very depressed.

When the two of them were dealing with the Bronze Luck Beast, the ordinary bronze beasts nearby also pounced forward and caused them some trouble.

Zhou Wen used Ashen Palm, but it didn't seem to be of much use against the Bronze Luck Beast. The Bronze Luck Beast's resistance didn't seem to be weaker than ordinary Golden Warriors.

However, its Speed was much faster than that of a Golden Warrior. It was among the best, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

After using the Astral Slash Blade, Zhou Wen left a deep mark on the Bronze Luck Beast's body. However, the damage wasn't enough to kill it unless Zhou Wen was able to release another two or three more Astral Slash Blade beams.

Having used Astral Slash Blade with all his might, he had drained all of his Primordial Energy. He had none left for a second attack.

Li Xuan and Zhou Wen had no choice but to leave Restriction City and return empty-handed.

"Thankfully, it's the two of us. If it were those Mortal-stage students, I would be surprised if they hadn't ended up dying in there. Isn't the homework mission assigned by Ms. Wang a little ridiculous? Also, why is the information so unreliable?" Li Xuan looked at his tattered clothes and said gloomily.

"Who knows? But that's good too. I'll think about it again when I return. If I were to come up with a strategy to kill the Bronze Luck Beasts, there will definitely be many students who will want to buy it." Zhou Wen was very optimistic because he had already discovered the tiny palm symbol before entering the city and downloaded Restriction City into his phone.

Unbeknownst to Zhou Wen, Bronze Luck Beast had a weakness. As long as he spent more time researching it, it was only a matter of time before he found a simple method for killing it. If he wrote a strategy, he might even earn a fortune.

Li Xuan had no choice but to listen to Zhou Wen and return.

After returning to his dorm, Zhou Wen opened the Restriction City's instance Dungeon and began his repeated grinding.

From the path he took after entering the city, and how to best avoid awakening the bronze beasts to killing the Bronze Luck Beast, Zhou Wen repeatedly experimented.

Li Xuan was right. The Bronze Luck Beasts were much stronger than what was written in the database. Even a Legendary-stage student would find it difficult to kill them without using a Companion Beast in a one-on-one situation.

In the past, special admissions students needed the collection strength of four people to kill the Bronze Luck Beast. Now, most of Zhou Wen's class was at the Mortal stage, so it was an impossible task to expect them to kill a Bronze Luck Beast.

In the beginning, Zhou Wen had relied on Truth Listener's and Banana Fairy's help to successfully kill a Bronze Luck Beast.

After some slow research, he finally managed to kill the Bronze Luck Beast alone. However, his ability to do so didn't mean that the other students could do it.

Even if he wrote out his strategy, his fellow classmates, whose attributes remained at the Mortal stage or they lacked powerful Primordial Energy Skills, made it impossible for them to use this method and strategy.

Is there really no other way? As Zhou Wen continued killing the Bronze Luck Beasts, he kept studying them, hoping to find a way for his fellow Mortal-stage classmates to kill them.

At that moment, Wang Fei had a smug look on her face. She had indeed issued a homework mission for them to kill the Bronze Luck Beasts, but she had done some tampering with it when handing it out.

Apart from Zhou Wen and Li Xuan, the other students had received the mission to kill a Mortal-stage bronze beast. Only the two of them had received the mission to kill Legendary Bronze Luck Beasts.

They really think they're impressive. I'll let those two punks suffer. Wang Fei was very certain that Zhou Wen and Li Xuan wouldn't be able to complete the mission.

This homework mission was prepared for the Legendary-stage special admissions students this year and had not yet been officially handed out. Even for special admissions students, they needed three to four people to join forces to kill the Bronze Luck Beast.

Now, Li Xuan and Zhou Wen were the only ones in their class who were at the Legendary stage. It was impossible for them to seek help from other students.

When she imagined how Zhou Wen would come to her with his face ashen after failing to complete the mission, Wang Fei was filled with anticipation.

Chapter 152 Chess Mountain

Cold river water flowed out between the mountains and bright moonlight shone, illuminating the river, giving a sheen that resembled fish scales.

Although the moonlight was bright, it was still terrifyingly dark under the water surface. The mountain pass in the distance was like an abyss, as though it could devour everything at any time.

On the bank of the river, there was a defensive mechanism made of steel concrete. The soldiers held their binoculars and watched the mountain pass.

"It's already been more than ten days. There's been nothing happening at Chess Mountain. Is it really as scary as you all say it is?" a soldier muttered.

"That's because you didn't see the earlier situation since you were transferred in late. Otherwise, you would have peed your pants." Another middle-aged soldier chuckled.

"Tsk, what's there to be afraid of? It's not like I've never entered a dimensional zone before. What haven't I seen before? Last month, we were ordered to explore a dimensional zone. There, we killed countless dimensional creatures," the soldier from before said.

The middle-aged soldier curled his lips and said, "I've been a soldier for so many years and the dimensional zones I've entered and the number of dimensional creatures I've seen are more than the number of women you have seen. But that day, I nearly peed my pants. If you really saw what I saw you would have peed your pants on the spot."

"What did you see that day?" the soldier asked curiously.

"That day, we were under orders to guard the mountain pass. We were planning to enter the mountain the next morning to explore the dimensional zones in the Chess Mountain, but on that night, the river's waters suddenly turned into something resembling blood…" As the middle-aged soldier spoke, he subconsciously pointed at the river.

However, when his eyes met the surface of the river, his eyes suddenly widened and he stuttered, "Just… like this…"

The young soldier turned his head and under the moonlight, saw that the shimmering lake had turned blood red at some point. The blood-red color rapidly spread out from the mountain pass. In just a moment, the river water had turned into a deep red liquid.

The alarm in the base sounded and all the soldiers and officers that were either on duty or resting got up.

As the highest-ranking officer in the area, Zhao Muye rushed to the outer perimeter of the defenses. When he saw the blood river flowing slowly, his expression turned abnormally grave.

"Commander Zhao, there's something coming out from the Chess Mountain's pass," shouted a soldier who had been using binoculars to monitor the mountain pass.

Zhao Muye looked over with his binoculars. Sure enough, he saw something approaching from the mountain pass. Adjusting the focus of the night vision lens to make out what was it, Zhao Muye's expression changed drastically.

He saw a humanoid creature walking on the river of blood-towards them. The clothes he wore were very odd. It was likely a product of an ancient era.

That wasn't the crux. More importantly, the area above his shoulders was empty-he had no head. Instead, the head was in his hands.

That head didn't look like a human either. It had a green face and sharp fangs. It had crimson hair and a pair of strange horns growing on its head.

The headless monster walked across the bloody river with its head in one hand. It walked out of Chess Mountain and gradually approached the defenses by the river bank.

"Fire!" Zhao Muye ordered calmly as he waited for the headless monster to enter the shooting range.

"Fire… Fire… Fire… Give it whatever you have…" The soldiers who received the order raised their guns and aimed at the headless monster over the river, firing with everything they'd got.

Bullets rained down on the headless monster's body, instantly tearing his clothes apart. In the blink of an eye, his clothes were riddled with holes.

Seeing the headless monster standing motionless above the river surface, the soldiers couldn't help but stop shooting, but they quickly realized that something was amiss.

The monster's clothes were riddled with holes, but no blood flowed out.

Suddenly, the head in the headless monster's hand opened a bloodshot eye that seemed to contain infinite amounts of blood.

"No good!" Zhao Muye's expression changed as he summoned his Companion Beast, Guardian Spirit Hawk, turning it into a barrier of light that protected the nearby area.

The headless monster's body jerked violently. The bullets that had been sent into his body shot back like raindrops. Furthermore, the bullets followed their original trajectories and traced back to their owners.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The light barrier formed by the Guardian Spirit Hawk failed to block the bullets that were shot back as it was pierced by multiple spots.

Screams were heard as the bullets penetrated the soldiers' bodies. In a moment, more than half of the soldiers who had fired were killed.

"Change to the newest type of Primordial Gold bullets and continue firing." Zhao Muye gave the order. However, when he looked at the river surface, he realized that the headless monster had disappeared. Apart from the moonlight that scattered across the river, there was no trace of it.

Zhao Muye cursed under his breath as he summoned his Companion Beast armor and weapon. When he turned around, he realized that the headless monster was holding its head, standing within the defensive line.

The devil- like head and blood-red eyes were staring at Zhao Muye and the soldiers with bloodthirsty eyes.

"Inform the Overseer. Everyone else, prepare for battle!" As Zhao Muye spoke, he raised his saber and slashed at the headless monster. The saber beam was like a rainbow as it streaked across dozens of meters.

To his surprise, the headless monster didn't dodge at all. Instead, it raised the head in its hand and blocked Zhao Muye's saber beam.

Clang!

The saber struck the devil-like face, but it failed to tear apart its skin. The blood-red eyes stared at Zhao Muye under the saber as a creepy smile appeared on his face.

"Ah!"

Blood splattered as gunshots rang out. The silent night was completely broken.

"Qihe River Base requesting backup… Qihe River Base requesting backup… A dimensional creature has rushed out of Chess Mountain… It has already rushed into the base… Please provide support immediately…"

When Ah Sheng received the news, his usually stoic expression changed. He immediately awaited An Tianzuo's further orders.

"Hold on for twenty minutes. Backup will be there soon," answered An Tianzuo.

"Something happened at Chess Mountain after all. Muye is there…" Ah Sheng said worriedly.

"Let's go." An Tianzuo interrupted Ah Sheng with a terse remark.

Several helicopters quickly took off and carried An Tianzuo, Ah Sheng, and a group of spearhead troops towards Chess Mountain.

When they arrived at the Qihe River Base, they saw dismembered bodies everywhere. The wounds on the broken limbs looked like they had been bitten off by something.

From afar, the sounds of a clash could still be heard. Ah Sheng rushed over and when he took in the situation before him, his eyes instantly turned red.

Chapter 153 A Simple Strategy Guide

Blood flowed everywhere, and corpses were strewn all over the place.

There was only one living person left fighting in the entire base. Or rather, it could no longer be considered a living person. His left arm had already been completely severed, and his body was full of bite wounds. A large piece of flesh had been bitten off his left rib. One could vaguely see his internal organs and the bones on his leg were visible beneath their wounds.

Even so, the person was still fighting the headless monster with all his might.

Crack!

The headless monster bit the person's thigh with the head in its hand. This bite directly snapped his left thigh bone, causing him to lose his balance. As he retreated, staggering, blood spilled all over the ground.

Ah Sheng's eyes were red. He pulled out his gun and shot fiercely at the headless monster. At the same time, he rushed over to support Zhao Muye who was about to fall.

"Muye, why aren't you retreating?" Ah Sheng gritted his teeth as he held onto Zhao Muye's body.

"Overseer told us to hold on for twenty minutes. It's not time yet, so how can I leave?" A smile appeared on Zhao Muye's pale face. "Besides, we can retreat, but the city behind us can't. Ah Sheng, you don't have to be sad. This day will come to all humans. I'm just leaving a little early. When you're tired in the future, we can gather down there and have drinks together…"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Continuous bullets struck the headless monster, blasting open bloody holes in its body, but the injuries didn't faze it.

The headless monster held its head and let out a roar as it charged through the pelting shots of eight soldiers, aiming straight for An Tianzuo who was standing behind them.

Clearly, the headless monster's intelligence wasn't low. It was able to tell that An Tianzuo was leading these people and wanted to kill him first.

The headless monster's skin suffused a demonic red glow as the bullets made of Primordial Gold failed to injure it. It charged through the storm of bullets, using the head in its hand to bite An Tianzuo.

An Tianzuo remained unperturbed as he pulled out a gun and fired two shots at the headless monster.

Bang! Bang!

The first bullet hit the head's cheekbones, causing the head to tilt a little before the second bullet drilled right through its ear.

Blood splattered out from the ear before it began bleeding from all seven orifices. Its eyes exploded and the headless body collapsed to the ground.

An Tianzuo didn't look at the corpse as he walked towards Ah Sheng, who was hugging Zhao Muye.

"Overseer, Muye is dead." Ah Sheng raised his head, his eyes filled with grief. In his arms, Zhao Muye had already breathed his last.

"I gained control of the An family when I was 13 years old. At that time, Muye was already an assistant regional commander figure. So many years have passed and he still remains one. It's not that he didn't have the chance to be promoted, nor was he incapable. Instead, it was because he wanted to stand at the front line of Chess Mountain to protect those people that he now can't ever help again." An Tianzuo sighed. "Let him go. He deserves the rest."

"Overseer, when I first joined the army, Muye was the one who took care of me and taught me. I want to take him back to bury him with his family," Ah Sheng said.

"He doesn't have family," said An Tianzuo. "His family died in Chess Mountain, but their corpses were never found."

Ah Sheng instantly fell silent. He couldn't say a word, his heart was filled with unbearable pain.

"Bury him outside Chess Mountain. Let him watch over the area. One day, we will charge into Chess Mountain and slay all those dimensional creatures on his behalf. Perhaps he will truly rest in peace when that happens," said An Tianzuo.

"The situation at Chess Mountain is getting worse. Even our latest primordial Gold bullets have started to lose their effectiveness. I'm afraid the situation is worsening," Ah Sheng said.

"That's why we need to find the source of the dimensional zones and resolve the problem at the root. Otherwise, no number of dimensional creatures killed will matter," An Tianzuo said as he looked in the direction of Chess Mountain. "Now, many dimensional zones have already appeared in various parts of the League. If we can't find a way to resolve it as soon as possible, the ones dying won't just be Muye and these soldiers. All of mankind will suffer annihilation. We have no time to spare. Let's go. We have no time for grief. There are plenty of things that need our attention."

Zhou Wen had been researching a simplified strategy for the killing of Bronze Luck Beasts. He didn't know that other than him and Li Xuan, no one else in his class needed the strategy

After a few days, Zhou Wen finally figured out a way to kill Bronze Luck Beasts at the Mortal stage. After getting Li Xuan to come over, he planned on test-driving the strategy with just the two of them.

"Old Zhou, can this strategy of yours really work?" Li Xuan read Zhou Wen's strategy and found it unbelievable that Bronze Luck Beasts could be killed that easily.

"Don't underestimate it. This is the result of me spending days racking my brains. As long as you follow the steps according to the guide, you will definitely be able to easily kill a Bronze Luck Beast," Zhou Wen said as he tapped Li Xuan, while holding a camera.

"Are you sure we don't need two people? Can I really do it myself?" Li Xuan was still doubtful.

"Yes," Zhou Wen said with certainty.

"Why don't you give it a try with me first? It's inevitable that I'll make mistakes the first time. We can watch each other's backs if we do it together. It'll be more convenient to remedy the situation." Li Xuan felt that Zhou Wen had only been to Restriction City with him once. If the strategy he wrote was problematic, wouldn't he be in deep trouble? He wanted Zhou Wen involved no matter what.

"Ain't I in charge of filming you? If anything goes wrong, I'll naturally take action," Zhou Wen said.

Li Xuan thought that made sense. Since Zhou Wen was going in with him, He wouldn't just sit idly if something bad happened. He wasn't going to continue filming his death, right?

The two entered Restriction City one after the other. Li Xuan charged ahead according to the strategy Zhou Wen had written while Zhou Wen followed behind him, filming. They soon entered deep into Restriction City.

Li Xuan was originally worried that Zhou Wen's strategy would be problematic, but when he charged in, he realized that it was as though he had entered a no man's land. The bronze beasts didn't even touch him at all.

Finally, while battling the Bronze Luck Beast, he used perfect positioning and the Bronze Luck Beast's weakness to easily kill it. It was so easy that Li Xuan suspected that the Bronze Luck Beast wasn't the same one they had encountered before.

"Old Zhou, nice strategy! How did you come up with it?" Li Xuan tried again and realized that killing the Bronze Luck Beast was extremely simple. Even ordinary Mortal-stage students would find it easy to kill the Bronze Luck Beast if they knew its weakness and joined forces.

"Do you think I can sell this strategy for money?" Zhou Wen was more concerned about money.

"Definitely. Such an awesome strategy guide definitely will have people willing to spend money to buy it. With our classmates still at the Mortal stage, they definitely won't be able to complete their homework mission without this strategy," Li Xuan said with certainty.

"Alright, let's head back and seek out buyers now." Zhou Wen was eager to know how much his strategy guide could be sold for.

Chapter 154 A Strategy Guide That Can't Be Sold

"What did you say?" Li Xuan's eyes widened as he glared at a female student and shouted loudly.

The girl looked a little afraid and said meekly, "My mission is done… There's no need… There's no need to buy your strategy…"

"That's impossible. Are you joking with me? How did you kill the Bronze Luck Beasts?" Li Xuan said while glaring at the girl in disbelief.

The girl said cautiously, "I didn't kill Bronze Luck Beasts; I only killed ten Bronze Bunnies and completed the mission."

"Bronze Bunnies? Isn't our mission to kill Legendary bronze beasts? What's the point of killing Bronze Bunnies?" Li Xuan said with a frown.

"The homework mission didn't say to kill Legendary bronze beasts. All you need to do is kill bronze beasts." The girl hurriedly took out her phone to show Li Xuan.

Indeed, her homework mission only stated that she needed to kill bronze beasts. There was no rule that required her to kill those at the Legendary stage.

"That's impossible, right? We can't be mistaken?" Li Xuan hurriedly took out his cell phone and read his homework mission again, confirming that he wasn't wrong. It clearly indicated that he needed to kill Legendary-stage bronze beasts.

"Old Zhou, what does yours say?" Li Xuan asked Zhou Wen again.

"Same as yours." Zhou Wen handed his phone to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took a glance and, just like him, quickly made a few phone calls. Soon, he looked at Zhou Wen with an odd expression and said, "All of our classmates received missions to kill bronze beasts. We are the only two who received the mission to kill Legendary-stage bronze beasts."

"Could it be a mistake?" Zhou Wen asked.

"It's impossible for the wrong message to be sent. They are sent en masse. If it was sent wrongly, all the students must have received the wrong message. How can it be just the two of us? This is clearly a message that was separately sent to us," Li Xuan said.

"Then doesn't that mean that my strategy won't be of any use?" Zhou Wen's first thought wasn't why Wang Fei had given them such a difficult mission, but if his strategy guide could still be sold.

"That's hard to say. According to what I know, the class of special admissions students received this mission as well. However, those guys are basically at the Legendary stage and all of them have their noses up in the air. They probably won't spend money on buying your strategy," Li Xuan said.

Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown when he heard that he might not be able to sell the strategy guide. However, when he thought of Wang Lu, his eyes lit up again. He turned to Li Xuan and asked, "Li Xuan, is there any record in Restriction City? I mean the time record for killing the Bronze Luck Beast."

"Definitely. There are records in every dimensional zone." Li Xuan instantly understood what Zhou Wen was getting at. "You mean you wish to sell this strategy to special admissions students who wish to break the record?"

"I can give it a try." Zhou Wen felt that there was a chance. He planned on asking Wang Lu to see if she was interested in buying the strategy.

They returned to Four Seasons Garden and went to Wang Lu's dorm to look for her. They happened to meet her on the way there. She was accompanied by about five special admissions students, seemingly having just returned. They were chatting as they walked, as though they were discussing something.

"Zhou Wen, Li Xuan, what a coincidence!" Wang Lu greeted Zhou Wen and Li Xuan when she saw them.

"It's not a coincidence. We came here especially to find you. Did you special admissions students receive the homework mission to kill the Bronze Luck Beasts?" Zhou Wen asked directly.

"That's right. What's the matter?" Wang Lu looked at Zhou Wen curiously, unsure why he would suddenly ask.

"It's this. Li Xuan and I have figured out a strategy to kill the Bronze Luck Beast. It should be of some help for killing them, allowing you to kill them faster and even break the record. Would you be interested?" Zhou Wen asked.

Before Wang Lu could say a word, a male student beside her said, "Zhou Wen, we admit that your Companion Beasts are indeed powerful. Unfortunately, we don't have any as powerful as yours. Your strategy is useless to us."

"The strategy we came up with doesn't need any special Companion Beasts. Besides, they can't be used in Restriction City," Zhou Wen said.

"Since no one can use a Companion Beast, we can figure out a method to kill the Bronze Luck Beasts ourselves. Why would we need to spend money on your strategy?" said the boy with a smile.

Zhou Wen finally realized that with his low EQ, he had overlooked a problem. Those who could enter Sunset College were geniuses, and the special admissions students were geniuses among geniuses. They were all rather proud, so to get them to spend money to buy a strategy from someone else would be akin to making them admit that they were inferior to others. How could proud special admissions students be willing to spend money to buy such a thing?

Another female student also said, "Zhou Wen, we came to Sunset College to hone ourselves. We have to experience it for ourselves before we can improve. Buying someone else's strategy is equivalent to cheating. It's meaningless to us."

The other special admissions students likely had similar views.

Wang Lu said, "Zhou Wen, I'm sure your strategy is useful, but I still want to challenge myself."

With Wang Lu saying that, Zhou Wen knew that there was no hope in selling his strategy.

After they returned to the dorm, Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen, "From the looks of it, the strategy would be a tough sell. I wonder what Ms. Wang was thinking. Why didn't she tell us earlier that only the two of us were given the mission to kill Bronze Luck Beasts? We wasted so much time researching a strategy."

"It's nothing. Just treat it as a form of training and learning." Zhou Wen didn't mind.

Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "By the way, you can post the strategy guide to our school's intranet forums. It allows for monetization. Who knows, those special admissions students might be embarrassed to buy it in front of others, but wouldn't have scruples doing it in private."

"Alright, help me post it. However, the price must be set high. Such a strategy guide isn't worth anything if it's spread, so it's best to earn as much as possible in one go." Zhou Wen still remembered the painful experience of posting the last strategy and warned Li Xuan.

"But if the price is too high, it won't be easy for them to be purchased, right?" Li Xuan remarked hesitantly.

"It's fine even if it can't be sold, as long as it's not sold too cheaply." Zhou Wen was quite open-minded.

"Alright." Li Xuan nodded and posted the strategy on the school's intranet forum. When he was done, he saw Zhou Wen lying on the sofa gaming again. He asked, "Aren't you bored to death gaming all day? All you do is kill those ants. Isn't it boring?"

"Not at all," Zhou Wen said without looking up.

"Stop gaming. Join me as I kill the ten Bronze Luck Beasts first. We'll break the record. Since those special admissions students don't want to, let's break it ourselves," Li Xuan said.

Zhou Wen followed Li Xuan to Restriction City. As for the post, it attracted the attention of someone.

The counselor of the special admissions class, Liu Zhengyan, saw the post titled "A god's guide to slaying a Bronze Luck Beast in a minute."

Chapter 155 Liu Zhengyan's Plan

It isn't difficult to kill a Bronze Luck Beast in a minute at the Epic stage. For those at the Legendary stage to kill Bronze Luck Beasts in such a short period of time without using a Companion Beast is not impossible, but it's just too difficult. Liu Zhengyan was originally curious, but after trying to take a look at the content, he realized that it was monetized. Furthermore, the points needed to read it when converted to League current was ridiculous. It cost more than twenty thousand.

Students nowadays really have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. They want to cheat money like that? Liu Zhengyan shook his head slightly and logged into the management account on the forum.

Liu Zhengyan was one of the moderators of the forum. If this was really a scam, he would have to deal with it and not let the other students be fooled.

Although he felt that Sunset College didn't have a student with such low intelligence, he still needed to quickly deal with any necessary threads.

After logging into the moderator's account, Liu Zhengyan used his authority to check Li Xuan's post without spending any money. Although he felt that it was definitely a scam, he still planned on confirming it first.

Very quickly, Liu Zhengyan saw the contents of the post and his expression changed drastically. He started off calm and indifferent, but in the end, he was flabbergasted. The changes to his face seemed like an artistic act.

Is this strategy really feasible? Based on Liu Zhengyan's understanding of Restriction City and Bronze Luck Beasts, the strategy did seem feasible. More importantly, there were a few places that even he didn't know if they were real or fake. He was unable to determine the authenticity of the strategy.

If it's really possible, then the person who wrote this strategy is amazing. Liu Zhengyan decided to make a trip to Restriction City and personally test it out.

If this strategy were real, he planned on including it as teaching material and let all the special admissions students study it.

Liu Zhengyan didn't want them to learn how to kill Bronze Luck Beasts, but to learn from the line of thinking and methods used to derive the strategy.

The rarest thing about this strategy was that it was a meticulous and creative design. There was no need to rely on powerful strength to resolve the problem. It was solely designed using perfect positioning, suppression, and the use of the opponent's weakness. If the strategy was proven to be real, even a few Mortal-stage cultivators could kill the Bronze Luck Beast in a group. Such a strategy was simply the work of a genius.

Liu Zhengyan eagerly headed to Restriction City. He only wanted to quickly verify the authenticity of the strategy.

However, when he entered Restriction City, he realized that someone was already killing Bronze Luck Beasts. The few of them near the city gates had already been killed.

Liu Zhengyan's heart stirred as he headed deep into the city. Indeed, not long after, he saw two students killing the Bronze Luck Beasts.

When he saw the movements of the two students, he immediately came to a realization. He didn't need to experiment anymore and he knew that the strategy was real. Besides, he already knew who had posted it.

Li Xuan and Zhou Wen, were they the ones who wrote that strategy? Liu Zhengyan looked from afar at the duo's slaying of the Bronze Luck Beasts and only grew increasingly alarmed.

Li Xuan was executing the steps of the designed strategy. With his strength alone, he could easily kill the Bronze Luck Beast. The entire process definitely took less than a minute. This had already broken the student records of the school.

The crux of the matter was that Li Xuan had completed it too easily. Furthermore, it also proved that Bronze Luck Beasts had a huge weakness. As long as one targeted this weakness, killing it would be too easy.

What left Liu Zhengyan even more surprised was Zhou Wen. Although the person attacking the Bronze Luck Beast was Li Xuan, Zhou Wen had been following him all the way with a camera. He tossed and turned in the group of bronze beasts and followed Li Xuan, perfectly capturing his every move.

It was not easy to keep up with Li Xuan's actions, much less in Restriction City. There were many Mortal-stage bronze beasts and bronze birds around.

With the bronze beasts awoken by Li Xuan, Zhou Wen's subsequent tailing of him made the bronze beasts and bronze birds target him with priority. However, Zhou Wen's pace was light and nimble as though he was taking a stroll. He didn't even look at the bronze beasts, yet he was able to dodge all of their attacks.

The entire process was pleasing to the eyes, so fluid that Liu Zhengyan felt like it was a sight to behold.

This Zhou Wen doesn't only have powerful Companion Beasts. His standards aren't bad either. He should be more than able to enter the special admission class. The more Liu Zhengyan looked at him, the more he felt that difficulty as a videographer was more difficult than Li Xuan who was the protagonist when hunting the Bronze Luck Beasts.

When Liu Zhengyan had watched the entire process of the two of them hunting the Bronze Luck Beast, he secretly left Restriction City without alarming Zhou Wen and Li Xuan.

After returning to his office, he logged on to the website again and found the thread Li Xuan had posted. Then, he clicked on it.

This time, Liu Zhengyan didn't use his moderator account and access. Instead, he purchased the monetized thread as a normal user.

Since I've already paid for it, it shouldn't be a problem for me to use it. Liu Zhengyan smiled and had already made up his mind.

The special admissions class was different from the ordinary classes. If the ordinary students of Sunset College were left to develop themselves, then the students of the special class were specially nurtured.

There was no saying which of the two teaching methods was exactly good or bad, but the teaching methods of the special class were more targeted with results showing faster.

However, this kind of teaching method required the students to have a very good foundation. This was something that ordinary students did not have. At the same time, they also needed a large number of resources from the college, so it was difficult to extend it to everyone.

Liu Zhengyan planned to use this strategy as teaching material and give detailed explanations to the students of the special class.

However, it wasn't for now, but after the special admissions students completed their homework missions.

With the pride and confidence of the special admissions students, they would definitely be very confident in their own results. Some would even feel proud of their own results.

However, if they saw this strategy and saw the tremendous effects of it, he believed that it would be a good learning experience for them.

However, before that, Liu Zhengyan had to confirm that those students didn't know about it already; otherwise, the educational effects would be greatly reduced.

Liu Zhengyan wasn't worried about the thread on the discussion forum. With such a high price, no student would be foolish enough to purchase it.

The only thing that needed to be resolved was Li Xuan and Zhou Wen's recorded results.

It looks like I need to have a good chat with Ms. Wang. Liu Zhengyan decided to discuss the matter with Wang Fei, and get her to temporarily hold back Li Xuan and Zhou Wen's results and videos. It wouldn't be too late to announce them after he had finished teaching his students.

Chapter 156 Who Was the One Who Wrote The Strategy Guide?

Wang Fei had been in a rather good mood recently. Ever since she gave Zhou Wen the mission to kill the Bronze Luck Beasts, her mood had greatly improved.

"Ms. Wang, are you there?" Liu Zhengyan's voice and knocking came from outside her office.

Wang Fei opened the door and invited Liu Zhengyan in. She poured him a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "Mr. Liu, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, Teacher Wang. Did you assign a homework mission for Zhou Wen and Li Xuan to kill Bronze Luck Beasts?" Liu Zhengyan asked frankly.

"Didn't I inform you about this matter? Did something happen?" Wang Fei looked at Liu Zhengyan in confusion.

"Nothing happened. I just have something to ask of you," Liu Zhengyan said.

"Mr. Liu, you are my senior. You helped me a lot when I first joined the school. There's no need to be so polite with me if there's anything you need me to do," Wang Fei said.

Liu Zhengyan said, "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I hope you can temporarily hold back Zhou Wen and Li Xuan's results and videos. You can report their results and videos after my class completes the homework mission."

"Mr. Liu, I don't understand. What are you getting at?" Wang Fei was confused as she did not know what Liu Zhengyan meant.

It wasn't difficult for her to do so, nor did it violate any of her principles. However, Wang Fei simply didn't understand the meaning behind his actions.

Liu Zhengyan pointed at the computer in front of Wang Fei. "Ms. Wang, open the student discussion forums on the intranet and take a look at the post titled 'A god's guide to slaying a Bronze Luck Beast in a minute.""

Wang Fei doubtfully clicked open the forum and found the thread that Liu Zhengyan was talking about. When she saw that it was actually a monetized thread with a ridiculously high price, she couldn't help but look at Liu Zhengyan.

"Buy it and take a look. You won't regret reading the contents in it," Liu Zhengyan said with a smile.

Wang Fei hesitated for a moment before following Liu Zhengyan's instructions. She bought the thread and clicked on it to read its contents.

When she read it, Wang Fei's expression was similar to the one Liu Zhengyan had when he first read it. Slowly, it turned to shock as she turned to look at Liu Zhengyan and asked, "Is what's written real?"

"Every word of it. I've already verified it," Liu Zhengyan said.

"Was this strategy guide written by you, Mr. Liu. It's really impressive." Wang Fei misunderstood and thought that the strategy guide was written by Liu Zhengyan.

He shook his head and said, "I didn't write the thread. I thought that it was a scam. I wanted to delete it, but after reading the content, I realized that it was a real strategy. Furthermore, it's a shocking one."

"If it wasn't written by you, then which teacher would write a strategy for Bronze Luck Beasts?" Wang Fei subconsciously believed that most Legendary students wouldn't be able to write such a strategy. It was likely written by a certain teacher.

"The strategy guide isn't written by any teacher." Liu Zhengyan shook his head again.

"If it's not written by a teacher, then who…" As Wang Fei spoke, she seemed to have some nasty thoughts surface in her mind.

Liu Zhengyan said, "This is the reason why I wanted you to hold back Zhou Wen and Li Xuan's results. This strategy guide should be written by both of them or either one of them. I've seen them use this method to kill a Bronze Luck Beast with my own eyes. It's absolutely feasible and there aren't any problems. Therefore, I wish to use this strategy as teaching material for my students. However, I hope that they won't know of the duo's results ahead of time. Nor do I wish for them to see their videos. It's why I'm here to trouble you."

"Mr. Liu, are you sure that this thread was written by Zhou Wen and Li Xuan?" Wang Fei stared at Liu Zhengyan with widened eyes. She really couldn't accept this outcome.

She originally believed that she had Zhou Wen under her thumb, but she suddenly realized that the obstacle she had set up for Zhou Wen was completely useless. To think that she had been gloating over it.

"No doubt about it. They wrote it. As long as you see their videos, you will understand that apart from the original author, no one else can do as well as they do, especially Zhou Wen, who's the videographer. If you have the chance, you should go to Restriction City to take a look. The videographer's performance will be more interesting than the main character in the video," Liu Zhengyan said with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, I'll follow your request. Don't worry, I'm very sorry, but I'll be heading out for a while now." Wang Fei decided to listen to Liu Zhengyan's advice and go to Restriction City to take a look.

She couldn't believe that a gamer like Zhou Wen who gamed all day could write such a strategy.

When Wang Fei rushed to Restriction City, Li Xuan was slaying the tenth Bronze Luck Beast for his mission. This was because he had spent too much time searching for Bronze Luck Beasts in Restriction City; otherwise, the mission would have been completed ages ago.

Although Wang Fei didn't see the complete process, with only the second half of Li Xuan's hunt, it was enough to shock her.

It was not only because the strategy was just as Liu Zhengyan had said, but also because of Zhou Wen's movement techniques during the filming. That level of difficulty was even higher than Li Xuan's hunting of the Bronze Luck Beast.

If not for the fact that he knew the bronze beasts in Restriction City like the back of his hand, it would be impossible for him to reach such a level. Zhou Wen's movement technique was as though he had installed a Heavenly Eye. He took into consideration the reactions of all the nearby bronze beasts and without even looking at them, he perfectly dodged all their attacks while following Li Xuan.

Now, she finally understood why Liu Zhengyan was so certain that the strategy guide was written by the duo. Only someone who knew the bronze beasts so well could write such a strategy.

This fellow… He's just too talented… How did he do it? Wang Fei looked at Zhou Wen with an odd expression as she felt mixed emotions. It was hard to describe what she felt.

Zhou Wen was more outstanding than she imagined. As Zhou Wen's counselor, Wang Fei was very pleased and happy for her good friend, Ouyang Lan.

However, when she thought of how such a genius was obsessed with mobile games, the words "what a waste of a treasure" surfaced in her mind.

Zhou Wen and Li Xuan didn't notice the distant Wang Fei. After Li Xuan completed his mission, it was Zhou Wen's turn to kill ten Bronze Luck Beasts.

This change made Wang Fei more certain that the strategy was written by Zhou Wen, at least he took most of the credit.

When Li Xuan did the filming, his movements were clearly a lot more amateurish. From time to time, he had to take care of the attacks of the Mortal-stage bronze beasts to prevent himself from being injured. He wasn't able to be as focused as Zhou Wen on the filming.

Chapter 157 Multiple Life Providences

When Wang Fei returned, she was exceptionally calm.

She was somewhat astonished by Zhou Wen's talent and capabilities. She believed that his gifts could no longer be judged simply by the standards of a genius.

Throughout her teaching career, she had never seen a student like him.

What Zhou Wen needs is no longer repetitive suppressive training. Such a student needs to be given more new things that he can analyze for himself. Wang Fei decided to return and think about it. She had never taught a student like him, so she needed to think more and reflect on herself. She wanted to come up with a new way to educate a student like Zhou Wen instead of using her past experiences on him.

After handing in the Bronze Luck Beast homework mission, Wang Fei didn't give him any more strange homework missions. Zhou Wen finally had some peace and quiet and now had the time to properly game.

Outside Tiger Cage Pass, he encountered another Paper Demonized General.

Drop me a Companion Egg! Zhou Wen commanded his Demonized General Companion Beast to charge forward as he waited in anticipation.

The reason for his anticipation was that if his Demonized General could fuse with a Paper Demonized General once again, wouldn't it become a complete Companion Beast with three skills?

The Demonized General's Astral Slash Blade restrained the Paper Demonized General, easily slaying it. At the instant the Paper Demonized General's head was chopped off, a resplendent crystal dropped.

An 18-valued Speed Crystal. That's not too bad. Zhou Wen was somewhat helpless. Although he could encounter Paper Demonized Generals more frequently than the average person, there was no way to guarantee his drop rate. All he could do was rely on luck.

The absorption of the Speed Crystal allowed all four of his attributes to reach 18. He was considered to be at the peak of the ordinary Legendary stage, but he was still 3 points behind Truth Listener's and Banana Fairy's 21 points.

Although it was only three points, the higher the stat needed, the harder it was to raise. Normal Legendary creatures only produced 18-valued stats crystals at best. Even mutated Legendary creatures dropped 19-valued stats crystals. It was difficult to obtain 20-valued stats crystals, not to mention 21-valued stats crystals.

I wonder if I can increase my attribute points by cultivating other Primordial Energy Arts like in the Mortal stage? Zhou Wen thought to himself.

Zhou Wen thought for a moment and decided to visit Small Buddha Temple. After he advanced to the Legendary stage, he wanted to see if the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra's stone monument was of any use.

It had been a long time since he had been to Small Buddha Temple, but the environment here remained unchanged. When Zhou Wen came in front of the Small Perfection of Wisdom Pillar, his gaze landed on the stone monument. When he looked at it, the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra in his body automatically began to circulate, evolving into the Legendary stage.

Soon, the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra had risen to the Legendary realm. He didn't face any obstacles during the advancement. It was so simple that it made Zhou Wen suspect that he wasn't cultivating a Primordial Energy Art, but just doing a copy and paste.

Zhou Wen looked at the blood-colored avatar's stats and couldn't help but be taken aback.

He didn't sense any special changes in his body, but the blood-colored avatar's attributes changed drastically.

There were a total of two changes. Zhou Wen's original Legendary Life Providence was Sigh of the King, but it was now gone. Replacing it was a Life Providence named "Eight Perfections Wisdom."

Together with the change in Life Providence, Zhou Wen's Primordial Energy Art also changed. It went from only having Lost Immortal Sutra to being replaced with Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra.

Instead, the stats that Zhou Wen hoped to increase didn't increase. The four stats remained at 18 points.

It can't be? Could it be that the Lost Immortal Sutra has changed into the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra? Zhou Wen was alarmed as he hurriedly attempted to switch back to the Lost Immortal Sutra's mode.

The outcome made Zhou Wen heave a sigh of relief. His Life Providence changed back to the Sigh of the King, and his Primordial Energy Art changed back to the Lost Immortal Sutra.

Zhou Wen switched back and forth a few times and realized that as long as he switched to the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, his Life Providence would also change.

Although his Life Providence had changed, Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that it didn't change at all. It was as though he still had his original Life Providence.

Furthermore, the two Life Providences gave him a completely different feeling. The Sigh of the King gave Zhou Wen a feeling that it was one with his body, but although the Eight Perfections Wisdom had an extremely intimate tie with his body, he felt that it was lacking something compared with the Sigh of the King.

However, he could clearly sense the characteristics of Eight Perfections Wisdom. It was similar to the typical feeling people had after possessing a Life Providence. It was unlike the Sigh of the King. Even Zhou Wen himself was half aware of it.

I wonder if there will be another Life Providence after I upgrade the Ancient Imperial Sutra at the Fire God Platform? Zhou Wen immediately confirmed his guess and left the Small Buddha Temple's instance dungeon before switching to the Ancient Imperial City.

After returning to the Fire God Platform, he read the Ancient Imperial Sutra on the monument. It was similar to his previous experience. The Ancient Imperial Sutra automatically advanced to the Legendary stage, causing Zhou Wen's Life Providence and Primordial Energy Art to experience changes.

Ancient Emperor. When Zhou Wen looked at the two words of his Life Providence, he understood the benefits that such a Life Providence could bring him.

Zhou Wen made another trip to Mount Laojun's instance dungeon, and the outcome was the same. The Wordless Monument also gave him a Life Providence of Dao Body, and the Primordial Energy Art only had two words, "Dao Sutra."

However, be it the Eight Perfections Wisdom, Ancient Emperor, or Dao Body, despite being able to clearly sense their effects, Zhou Wen found it unnatural. He felt as though the Life Providences didn't belong to him.

Only the Sigh of the King made Zhou Wen feel like there was no distance in between it and him.

Could it be that those Life Providences and Primordial Energy Arts aren't actually possessed by me, but a product of the Lost Immortal Sutra's effects? Zhou Wen long had his suspicions, but it only felt more real this time.

Taking out the oil lamp, Zhou Wen rubbed it once again. The oil lamp, which no longer had any characters, light, or darkness appearing on it, suddenly produced a projection of text. It turned Zhou Wen's Life Providence into Godfiend and his Primordial Energy Art turned into Godfiend Era.

Just like the first three Life Providences, the Godfiend's Life Providence also felt somewhat distant. It made him uneasy, but it was only a feeling. It didn't obstruct him from using it.

Zhou Wen wasn't able to use four different Life Providences at the same time. He could use the corresponding Life Providence when his Primordial Energy Art switched to the corresponding type, and different Life Providences gave him different augmentations.

Eight Perfections Wisdom greatly augmented his body. It was similar to Li Xuan's Immortal God of Combat that allowed for his physical resilience to improve greatly as he gained a powerful recovery ability.

The Dao Body Life Providence augmented his Primordial Energy, greatly increasing Zhou Wen's recovery speed. It just took him a few seconds to regain all his Primordial Energy.

The Ancient Emperor Life Providence raised all his stats, but it mainly increased his Strength greatly. Furthermore, it made his Strength attribute experience some abnormal changes.

The Godfiend Life Providence was the oddest. Zhou Wen originally believed that it would augment his Speed attribute greatly, but that wasn't the case. The Godfiend Life Providence augmented all his attributes, but not by much. Its main purpose was to allow Zhou Wen to possess the ability to fly.

Chapter 158 Raising a Weighted Feather

With the Godfiend's Life Providence, Zhou Wen could choose not to use any Primordial Energy Skills, nor did he need to borrow the wings of his Companion Beast to directly float in the air. Furthermore, he could fly freely, as though he had invisible stairs in the air.

Every Life Providence had its unique effects, and they all seemed very powerful, but Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that these powers didn't belong to him.

He was at home studying the effects of the Primordial Energy Arts and Life Providences when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

At first, he thought it was Li Xuan, but when he opened the door, he realized that it was Feng Qiuyan.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.

"Coach, I would like you to tailor a second cultivation plan for me," Feng Qiuyan said firmly.

"Didn't I say before that you have to finish the plan I tailor-made for you before you can proceed to the next stage of cultivation…" Zhou Wen really didn't wish to lie to Feng Qiuyan, so he could only find an excuse to reject him.

However, before he could finish speaking, Feng Qiuyan said, "Coach, I've already mastered the realm of the slow saber."

"What? You've mastered it?" Zhou Wen widened his eyes as he looked at Feng Qiuyan in disbelief.

He had only said it in passing. Although he had included some of his insights, most of them were just random thoughts he pulled out of his ass. The fact that Feng Qiuyan had actually managed to master the realm of the slow saber realm with his nonsense, left Zhou Wen in disbelief.

"I've really mastered it. I'll demonstrate it to you now." Feng Qiuyan slashed at Zhou Wen with his saber.

In the past, Feng Qiuyan's slashing of his saber was very quick, so fast that no one could see it clearly. It was like a bolt of lightning. It was extremely fast and agile.

His saber remained very fast, but it was so fast that it gave one a heavy feeling. It was as if there was immense weight on his saber, as if a mountain was pressing on it.

This saber move allowed others to see it clearly. It looked very slow, but in fact, its speed was even faster than before.

"You move as if you are raising a weighted feather!" Zhou Wen directly spoke of the feeling that Feng Qiuyan's saber had given him.

Feng Qiuyan nodded and said, "As expected of Coach. You knew about this realm all along. If it wasn't for your guidance, I don't know how long it would have taken me to figure it out."

Zhou Wen wasn't able to describe his current feelings as he thought to himself, Feng Qiuyan, you are truly a genius. You actually managed to master something with that little said? What else can I say?

"Coach, please continue to tailor a cultivation plan for me," Feng Qiuyan said solemnly to Zhou Wen.

Without waiting for Zhou Wen to say a word, Feng Qiuyan transferred the money to Zhou Wen. It was actually more than twenty thousand, three times more than the first lesson.

"Coach, I know that you aren't doing it for this pittance, but this is just a form of my appreciation," Feng Qiuyan said.

I'm doing it precisely for this pittance, alright? Zhou Wen was really in need of money, but he found the money to be a hot potato.

"I've been a little busy recently. I probably don't have much time to tailor a plan for you…"Zhou Wen wanted to find an excuse to send Feng Qiuyan away.

However, Feng Qiuyan immediately said, "It's alright. Coach, if you have time, give me some pointers. If you don't have time, I can wait."

Zhou Wen looked at Feng Qiuyan with a complicated expression, momentarily at a loss for words. After a long hesitation, Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Feng Qiuyan, listen to me. In fact, from the beginning, I only wanted to earn a little bit of your money from teaching you. What I said to you previously was all nonsense. For you to master the realm of the slow saber is because you are talented and perceptive. It has nothing to do with me. I'm sorry; I'll refund you the money you paid previously. I hope that you won't take it to heart…"

Zhou Wen really didn't wish to lie to Feng Qiuyan. He told him the truth and would rather return the money to him than continue the lie.

However, Feng Qiuyan didn't believe him at all. He stopped Zhou Wen from refunding him the money and said, "Coach, it's fine if you don't have time. I can wait. If you think my talent is too poor and don't wish to teach me, it doesn't matter. I'll stay by your side. You don't have to deliberately teach me. Just let me figure things out on my own."

Zhou Wen wasn't an eloquent person. He was at a loss for an explanation as he stammered, "That's not what I meant…"

"Coach, you don't have to say anything else. I know people like you are very diligent in your cultivation. You will definitely squeeze every minute and second for cultivation, or else you wouldn't have improved so quickly. I was selfish to make you waste your time tailoring a plan for me. But other than you, I can't tolerate those mediocre people who only teach following a fixed curriculum. So please do not reject me. I know that your time is precious, so you don't have to do anything. Just let me be by your side and self-study. Don't worry, I won't affect your day-to-day life. I won't disturb you when it's inconvenient." Feng Qiuyan's eyes were steeled with resolve.

This person… must be crazy… Zhou Wen looked at Feng Qiuyan with his mouth agape. He realized that he had no way of explaining himself.

"I'm telling you that I really have nothing to teach you. Are you sure you want to stay?" Zhou Wen said feebly.

"Coach, don't worry. I will definitely not disturb your cultivation," Feng Qiuyan said firmly.

"As long as you're happy. Let me make things clear. I have nothing to teach you. If you insist on staying, the money you gave me won't be refunded," Zhou Wen said.

"I don't usually use a lot of money. I haven't used much of the allowance that my family gave me. There's still about a million left. If you need it, you can take it all," Feng Qiuyan said.

"There's no need." Zhou Wen shook his head helplessly as he went back inside and sat on the sofa to continue gaming.

Feng Qiuyan walked in and closed the door before following Zhou Wen, preparing to watch him play games.

"Do you want to watch me game too?" Zhou Wen put down his phone and asked Feng Qiuyan.

"I want to understand your entire cultivation process. Gaming is also part of your cultivation, right? What game are you playing? I want to download one too," Feng Qiuyan said seriously. It was obvious that he wasn't joking.

"This is a game I created myself. It hasn't been completed yet, so it is a trade secret." Zhou Wen felt like he was about to go mad.

Feng Qiuyan was obviously the one who had been deceived, but he, the deceiver, felt extremely depressed.

"I see." Feng Qiuyan nodded and stopped watching him game. He walked to Zhou Wen and pulled a chair to sit down as he stared at him intently.

Zhou Wen couldn't be bothered with him. He believed that Feng Qiuyan would leave once he was bored, so he decided to ignore him. Since Feng Qiuyan couldn't see what game he was playing, he continued gaming and grinding the game's instance dungeons.

Chapter 159 True Grinding

This time, Zhou Wen was grinding the Ant Nest. When he arrived in the Ant City again, he immediately switched his Primordial Energy Art to the Dao Sutra. His Life Providence also changed to Dao Body, giving him immense augmentation to his Primordial Energy recovery rate.

At the same time, he got the blood-colored avatar to summon the Banana Fairy in her fan-like state. Seeing the swarm of black-winged flying ants charging at him, he swatted the fan at them.

The dozen or so black-winged flying ants in front of him were immediately sent flying. The cold wind caused their bodies to freeze into ice sculptures. When they were hit, they immediately shattered into broken limbs that fell to the ground.

Following the dozen or so notifications that a black-winged flying ant had been killed, a dimensional crystal dropped on the ground.

Awesome. This is what it means to grind. Zhou Wen summoned the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior, Mutated Demonized General, the Mutated Lotus Flower Ant, and the Silver-Winged Flying Ant, but he didn't let them attack. All he did was put up a battle formation for defense, preventing the horde of black-winged flying ants from approaching the blood-colored avatar.

The Three-Eyed Golden Warrior took point as the swarm of black-winged flying ants failed to injure its Golden Body. It occupied the space of nearly half the black-winged flying ants.

The other Companion Beasts also used their own strengths to prevent the ant swarm from approaching the blood-colored avatar.

However, there were just too many black-winged flying ants. In just a few seconds, a large group had gathered and were on the brink of breaking through the defensive perimeter.

Zhou Wen glanced at the blood-colored avatar's Primordial Energy. Under the effects of the Dao Body, his Primordial Energy had recovered to the maximum of 18 points. Without any hesitation, he swatted his fan again.

Boom! Boom!

A large group of ants was sent flying as they slammed into each other, shattering to pieces. The notifications of black-winged flying ants being killed flooded the screen.

Under the protection of the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior and other Companion Beasts, the blood-colored avatar delivered a gust of cold wind every few seconds. The immense numbers of black-winged ants couldn't withstand such a slaughter. In less than half an hour, the massive Ant City had almost no black-winged flying ants left.

Zhou Wen controlled the blood-colored avatar to charge into Ant City. All kinds of ants crawled out of the nest in an attempt to attack him, but a large swath of them was killed by the Great Yin Wind.

There were shiny dimensional crystals on the ground, mixed with Companion Eggs. It was a spectacular sight that Zhou Wen had never seen before.

Awesome! How awesome! Zhou Wen led the group of Companion Beasts to storm through Ant City, leaving a river of blood in his wake. He didn't even have time to pick up the dimensional crystals and Companion Eggs that dropped.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Zhou Wen immersed himself in a frenzy, slaughtering every ant he saw. He wanted to massacre Ant City before heading to the tallest ant nest and fight the Golden Flying Ant so as to drink the honey inside.

Zhou Wen felt that the number of Legendary creatures he killed in less than an hour was more than the number of Legendary creatures he had killed previously combined. Just from the dimensional crystals and Companion Eggs that shimmered on the ground, he knew how mind-blowing the number of ants he had killed was.

It's no wonder that the powerful family clans will become stronger, but it's so difficult for the weak to become stronger. Once one's strength reaches a certain level, it's too easy to earn resources, Zhou Wen thought.

While he was crazily gaming and killing monsters, Feng Qiuyan, who was sitting opposite him, kept staring at him. His eyes never left him.

For a person as hardworking as Coach, his gaming must be a form of cultivation, but what's the point of cultivating in such a way? Although Feng Qiuyan couldn't figure out the outcome, he firmly believed that Zhou Wen's actions had his reasons and meaning, so he continued staring at him.

As Feng Qiuyan was pondering over the matter, the antelope that had been sleeping on the couch woke up. It jumped down from the couch and bleated at Zhou Wen a few times. It meant that it was hungry and wanted Zhou Wen to prepare food for it.

However, Zhou Wen was engrossed in the game and completely ignored it.

It was extremely unhappy as it stomped on the ground with its hooves, as though it was tap dancing

Seeing that Zhou Wen wasn't paying any attention to it, the antelope circled around Zhou Wen and jumped around him. It even nudged its head into his embrace, hoping to attract his attention and get him to prepare food.

Zhou Wen was very familiar with the antelope and knew that it typically didn't use violence. Furthermore, he was at a critical moment in his grinding, so he had no time to deal with it. No matter how much of a fuss it made, he ignored it.

As Feng Qiuyan watched, his eyes suddenly lit up. I understand now. Coach is practicing the cultivation of one's mind. In such an environment, he can still focus on gaming. He's not affected by any external factors or objects. This realm of single-mindedness is the optimal state for cultivation.

I see… So that's how it is… I understand what I should do next… Feng Qiuyan leaped up and bowed slightly at Zhou Wen. "Coach, I understand. I'll start my cultivation now. When I reach the same realm as you, I'll seek your advice again."

Zhou Wen didn't respond and continued gaming as though he hadn't heard him. Feng Qiuyan didn't mind as he turned around and left Zhou Wen's dorm.

After glancing at Feng Qiuyan, a puzzled expression appeared on the antelope's face. It had no idea what had happened to the person; he had acted like a madman.

Feng Qiuyan walked out excitedly, but as he walked, he slowed down.

How do I cultivate the way to having a calm mind? Just as Feng Qiuyan was thinking, he saw a person walking towards him. On careful look, it was Li Xuan.

"Feng Qiuyan, why are you here at Zhou Wen's place?" Li Xuan asked in puzzlement.

Feng Qiuyan's eyes lit up as he quickly came to Li Xuan. Without answering him, he asked, "Li Xuan, you have the best relationship with Coach. Do you know how he usually cultivates to be completely single-minded?"

"What single-minded? That fellow, Old Zhou, is like a fool when he's gaming. He doesn't hear a thing," Li Xuan said casually.

"That's right. What kind of disturbance practice does he do when he's gaming?" Feng Qiuyan hurriedly said.

"Is there a need for practice? When he's gaming, he isn't distracted at all. In the past, I had a pretty chick tempt him while he was gaming, but guess what happened in the end? That punk acted as though he couldn't see that chick at all. When that girl stopped him from playing, he threw her to the ground with a slap and continued gaming…" Li Xuan said as his saliva splattered.

So one needs to get past lust first? Feng Qiuyan's eyes lit up as though he had figured out something.

However, when Feng Qiuyan thought about it, he realized that this was Sunset College. There was no way he could find such a woman to practice with. Instantly, he felt a little stumped.

"Do you know anywhere that has women? The kind that are very noisy," Feng Qiuyan asked, having heard from Li Xuan that he had previously found women for Zhou Wen.

"Very noisy women… There really is one…" When Li Xuan saw how oddly Feng Qiuyan was behaving, he had the intention of pulling his leg.

Feng Qiuyan was delighted when Li Xuan said yes. He immediately got Li Xuan to take him there and followed him to Li Weiyang's club.

Chapter 160 Battling the Golden Flying Ant Again

Zhou Wen didn't know how long he had been grinding. As the massive Ant City was only left with a tiny number of ants, there was no need for him to use the Grand Yin Wind again. Just the Mutated Demonized General could easily finish them off.

Seeing dimensional crystals and Companion Eggs drop everywhere in Ant City, Zhou Wen's excitement suddenly waned.

Despite killing black-winged flying ants, red-armored ants, blue-armored ants, and so on, they were only at the ordinary Legendary stage. Their limit was 18, so the dimensional crystals they dropped were at most 18, and the number was extremely few.

Crystals with such stats were of no use to Zhou Wen. Only the Primordial Energy Crystals could be used to replenish his Primordial Energy.

Zhou Wen's heart bled as he saw the large number of stats crystals wasted.

However, he couldn't take anything in the game out. If he could sell the stats crystal he obtained from grinding, it would be enough for him to invest in Huang Ji's game.

Zhou Wen ignored ordinary stats crystals and focused on picking up the Companion Eggs and Primordial Energy Skill Crystals.

He had reaped quite a sizable harvest this time. Just the Legendary Companion Eggs numbered 14 and the Primordial Energy Skill Crystals numbered 21. However, most of them were repeated. There were only two unique types of Primordial Energy Skills.

One of them was the black-winged flying ant's Primordial Energy Skill. Zhou Wen had previously obtained this, but the other was something he hadn't collected before. It was dropped by the red-armored ants that couldn't fly. Its name was Concealed Armor Technique; it was also a defensive Primordial Energy Skill.

Companion Eggs with poor attributes were fed to the pets. Those with good attributes were hatched since Zhou Wen planned on keeping them for fusion later.

With most of the ants in Ant City killed, the Golden Flying Ant remained inside the ant nest high up. Zhou Wen made sure he was in optimal state by filling up his Companion Beasts' and blood-colored avatar's Primordial Energy before heading for the ant nest at the top.

It was different from before. This time, Zhou Wen had brought a large number of helpers over. He wasn't as wretched as he used to be, nor was there any ant horde besieging him.

Even if I can't kill the Golden Flying Ant, it won't be difficult to drink some Golden Ant Honey. Zhou Wen didn't believe he could kill the Golden Flying Ant with his current strength.

When he arrived at the apex of the ant nest, he directly ordered the Mutated Demonized General and the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior to charge in. They were the only ones who could tank, especially the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior. It could withstand blows the best, so Zhou Wen planned on using them to attract the Golden Flying Ant's attention so that he could rush in and drink the honey.

Indeed, the moment the duo charged in after smashing through the nest's walls, they immediately attracted the Golden Flying Ant's attention. With a flash of golden light, a gigantic flying ant appeared above their heads. Its sharp claws slashed straight at the Mutated Demonized General's head.

The Mutated Demonized General roared angrily as it delivered Astral Fist. Its entire body glowed with golden light as it punched at the Golden Flying Ant's claws.

But the next second, Zhou Wen saw a golden beam flash. One of the Mutated Demonized General's arm flew up into the air, having been sliced off by the Golden Flying Ant.

Holy sh*t, it's that powerful! Zhou Wen was alarmed as he didn't dare hesitate any further. He controlled his remaining pets to charge at the Golden Flying Ant as the blood-colored avatar jumped into the ant honey and began gulping mouthfuls of honey.

After a few mouthfuls, the game produced a notification: 'Absorbed Golden Ant Honey. Primordial Energy 1'

His Primordial Energy finally raised from the limit of 18 to 19.

Zhou Wen was delighted as he continued drinking the ant honey, hoping to directly break through to 21 points.

However, despite filling his stomach to the point of not being able to swallow any further, he didn't receive a notification of his Primordial Energy raising to 20 points, much less 21 points.

Could it be that I haven't drunk enough? Zhou Wen cloyed from the excessive sweetness. Perhaps just opening his move would make him vomit honey. He just couldn't continue drinking.

On the other side, Zhou Wen's pets had been mercilessly killed by the Golden Flying Ant aside from the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior.

There was a deep wound on the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's chest. Despite having Golden Body and Invulnerable Golden Power, it was still heavily injured. The Golden Flying Ant's strength was extremely terrifying.

Seeing it rush over again, the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior was unable to duck the speedy attack. All it could do was use Golden Palm to meet it.

With a cracking sound, the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior's palm was cleaved apart. His body involuntarily flew backward and crashed into the cocoon hanging in the middle of the ant nest.

Suddenly, the Golden Flying Ant phased away and appeared in front of the gigantic cocoon in a flash. It used its body to block the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior from crashing into the gigantic cocoon.

When the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior collided with the Golden Flying Ant, it was sent flying to the side. The latter immediately charged forward in an attempt to slay the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior.

Zhou Wen's heart stirred as he controlled the blood-colored avatar. He raised the banana fan and waved it at the gigantic cocoon, sending a cold gust of wind over.

The Golden Flying Ant that was charging at the Three-Eyed Golden Warrior immediately flew back. A strange golden barrier shot out from its body to protect the gigantic cocoon.

The Grand Yin Wind collided with the golden barrier, but only trembled it a little. The barrier remained unbroken.

In the next second, the two feelers on the Golden Flying Ant's head emitted a terrifying golden light. Like a golden lightning bolt, they struck the blood-colored avatar, and the screen of the cell phone turned black.

The Golden Flying Ant is undoubtedly at the Epic stage, but I wonder what's inside the gigantic cocoon? Logically speaking, it should be the descendant of the Golden Flying Ant, but its energy aura seems different from the Golden Flying Ant.

Although Zhou Wen was puzzled, he didn't have the ability to kill the Golden Flying Ant. Even if he wanted to explore the secret of the gigantic cocoons, he couldn't.

Unfortunately, I only managed to increase my Primordial Energy by one point despite drinking so much of the ant honey. I wonder if there's a limit to how much it can raise my Primordial Energy or if there are other reasons. Zhou Wen was truly exhausted today. Although he still had plenty of Primordial Energy, the repeated use of Grand Yin Wind over long periods of time left him mentally exhausted.

After putting away his phone, Zhou Wen saw the antelope glaring at him as though he wanted to eat him up.

"Brother Antelope, I'm sorry. I'll go get you some food now." Zhou Wen hurriedly ran out of the building and prepared to eat something before bringing back some fresh vegetables for the antelope.

When he reached the entrance of Four Seasons Garden, he met Wang Lu and the other special admissions students.

Zhou Wen wasn't familiar with the other special admissions students, so he only greeted Wang Lu before heading to the cafeteria.

A special admissions student named Li Zhuo said with a smile, "Zhou Wen, have you sold the Bronze Luck Beast strategy yet?"

"No," Zhou Wen answered before heading straight to the cafeteria. He didn't have the time for idle chats.

Chapter 161 Who's First?

"It would be a wonder if he could sell it. In terms of Companion Beasts, we are indeed not as strong as him. Unfortunately, Restriction City doesn't allow the use of Companion Beasts. Who needs his strategy?" Li Zhuo pursed his lips as he watched Zhou Wen leave.

The girl beside him added, "He thinks he's very strong just because he defeated John, but it was all because of his Companion Beasts. To write a strategy guide and sell it to our special class is indeed excessively arrogant."

"Let's not talk about the geniuses like An Jing, Wang Lu, or Feng Qiuyan in our special class, even the average ones are far superior to the students of the ordinary classes. If he wants to write a strategy guide, it will be us writing for them."

The few special admissions students shared the same thought. They still felt a little displeased that Zhou Wen had tried selling them the strategy guide. It had hurt their pride.

Wang Lu frowned slightly and said, "Zhou Wen is indeed a genius. The guide he wrote must have something to learn from. However, we aren't buying it because we want to train ourselves, so there's no need to belittle him."

Li Zhuo laughed and said, "Wang Lu, you are overthinking things. We have no intention of disparaging him. We are just saying that no one is weaker than him in terms of their own abilities. There's no need to buy his strategy."

Wang Lu could tell that Li Zhuo was insincere, but she didn't say anything else.

The few of them headed for class together. The mission to slay the Bronze Luck Beasts had been completed, so Liu Zhengyan was to provide them a summary and explanation. All the special admissions students had to attend the class.

Liu Zhengyan was in a good mood today. He didn't blame Feng Qiuyan or another student for being late. He only waved his hand to get them to quickly take their seats.

"Mr. Liu seems to be in a good mood today. He didn't reprimand the late students!" a girl said in surprise.

Shaking his head, Li Zhuo said with a smile, "Of course he's in a good mood. Our special class did a good job with the homework mission. I heard that a few of us broke the special class record from last year."

"Seems like we can relax for a while." The girl from before smiled.

Liu Zhengyan raised his hand slightly to signal for the students to quieten down. Then, he swept his gaze across everyone's faces and said slowly, "Everyone has completed the homework mission of killing Bronze Luck Beasts. Compared to the special classes of past years, the overall standard of this class is a level higher. It can be considered the best result in recent years."

The students started clapping. Many students showed their excitement. Having been in school for more than a month, this was the first time they heard Liu Zhengyan praise them.

Liu Zhengyan waved his hand and waited for the students to quieten down before continuing, "This year, a few students performed pretty well. They broke the records from previous years. An Jing with 3:20. Wang Lu with 3:27, and Feng Qiuyan with 3:28. Such results can be said to be extremely outstanding."

The other students looked at the three of them enviously. Although they had already known that the three of them were exceptionally outstanding-even in the special class—they couldn't help but feel jealous.

"But…" Liu Zhengyan suddenly changed the topic and continued, "But this year's best result wasn't scored by any of them."

"How is that possible? Who else could it be? Is there anyone else in our class who has better results than them?"

"It can't be, right? There are hidden big shots that are more impressive than the three of them?"

"That's impossible, isn't it? An Jing, Wang Lu, and Feng Qiuyan are among the top ten students in the school. Even if the other students are very strong, they aren't good enough to enter the top ten. It seems impossible for anyone to have better results than the three of them."

The students engaged in a flurry of discussion. They looked around and wondered who that person was.

"The person who obtained the best results in killing the Bronze Luck Beast this year isn't from our special class." The students' discussion became even more intense after Liu Zhengyan said those shocking words.

"Mr. Liu, don't tell me you're talking about our seniors?" Li Zhuo couldn't help but ask loudly.

Liu Zhengyan smiled and looked at Li Zhuo. He asked, "Li Zhuo, who do you think should be first and what's his timing?"

"I think it should be Senior Wei Ge. I believe that if it were Senior Wei Ge, he should be able to do it in sub-three minutes," said Li Zhuo.

"That's right. Wei Ge got 2:57. It happens to be within three minutes. You are very keen," Liu Zhengyan said.

Li Zhuo said proudly, "Mr. Li, you flatter me. I was just making a casual guess. I didn't expect to be on the mark."

Liu Zhengyan smiled. "But that's Wei Ge's results when he was practicing. Besides, he's already in his third year, so he's not within the rankings of you freshmen. The freshman in first place is someone else."

"Who is it?" Li Zhuo couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Liu Zhengyan picked up a dossier and said, "The results for this year's killing of Bronze Luck Beasts puts Zhou Wen from Counselor Wang Fei's class as first. Second is Li Xuan from her class as well. Third place is our class's An Jing…"

"Impossible!" Li Zhuo cried out in disbelief.

This time, it wasn't just Li Zhuo and the other students. Even An Jing, Wang Lu, and Feng Qiuyan's eyes narrowed as they looked at Liu Zhengyan.

"What's Zhou Wen's timing?" An Jing suddenly asked.

"That's a good question. You can guess what their results are," Liu Zhengyan said with a smile.

"It's at best an order of magnitude from An Jing, right?" suggested Li Zhuo.

"It's indeed an order of magnitude." Liu Zhengyan turned on the player and projector and played a video. "See for yourself."

Everyone cast their gaze to the big screen. An Jing, Feng Qiuyan, and the others also had their eyes peeled to the screen as they watched the video carefully.

The video was very short and only took less than a minute. However, after watching the video, the entire classroom fell silent. Li Zhuo and the others broke out into a cold sweat as they stared intently at the big screen. They failed to regain their cognitive abilities for a long time, and their faces were blank.

Coach lives up to being a coach. What amazing positioning. Is this all the benefits of gaming while practicing to be undistracted? Looks like I still need further cultivation. Feng Qiuyan's eyes were burning, but he seemed to have expected it.

Wang Lu was somewhat astonished as well. Although she had expected Zhou Wen's results to be excellent, she never expected them to be this good. It only took him forty-seven seconds.

Zhou Wen was indeed faster than them by an order of magnitude, but this order was at the level of minutes.

An Jing looked at the screen calmly, but her expression was a little odd. It was unknown what she was thinking.

"Mr. Liu, are these results real? This is a strategy designed by the counselors before getting Zhou Wen to carry it out, right?" Li Zhuo still found it unbelievable.

"Unfortunately, no counselor participated in the design of this strategy. The strategy was written by Zhou Wen and Li Xuan. I also spent money on the discussion forums to read their monetized thread before I learned that there was such a method to kill Bronze Luck Beasts. Such a line of thinking and design can be said to be unique. To resolve a problem from a weakling's point of view, relying on intelligence and not strength is very difficult. Today, we will be discussing in detail the ingenuity of the design and their unique line of thinking. I believe all of you will learn plenty from it, especially their thoughts on solving the problem. Strength might not be the only solution to resolving problems. This is very important…"

Chapter 162 Restriction City Activity

Li Xuan organized another event for the Xuanwen Club. Zhou Wen originally thought that not many people would turn up. If Gu Dian didn't come, there would at most be four people, but when he arrived, he realized that there were more people than he imagined.

Fang Ruoxi and Tian Xiangdong were there as well. Gu Dian had also come. Apart from the original five people from the Xuanwen Club, there were also Feng Qiuyan, Wang Lu, Li Weiyang, and Hui Haifeng.

Li Xuan chuckled and said, "The club's event is a joint activity between our Xuanwen Club, Weiyang Club, and the Ocean Club. Furthermore, our Xuanwen Club has added two more formal members. They are Feng Qiuyan and Wang Lu."

Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. He had been gaming permanently for the past few days and had not paid any attention to the situation regarding the Xuanwen Club. Only then did he realize that Feng Qiuyan and Wang Lu had been roped into the Xuanwen Club by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan had set his sights on Restriction City. The group headed for the city with great fanfare.

The Weiyang Club consisted of only girls while the Ocean Club was mainly boys. Furthermore, they were all infamous problematic students in school. With Li Xuan and Zhou Wen's Xuanwen Club having some odd ones out, this group quickly attracted the attention of the school.

The first person to receive the news was Wei Ge. As the president of Sunset College's student council, he acutely believed that this matter was somewhat unusual. Perhaps it represented future trends of the students of Sunset College.

Hui Haifeng and his gang are actually so close to Zhou Wen and Li Xuan. Wang Lu and Feng Qiuyan from the special class all have large families backing them, so they haven't joined any clubs. Now, they have joined the Xuanwen Club and that strange Gu Dian has joined them too. Will the Xuanwen Club become the second Ocean Club in the future? No, I have to see what those people are up to. Wei Ge quickly gathered student councilors and joined the Xuanwen Club's activities in the name of maintaining order and keeping the students safe. Together, they entered Restriction City with Li Xuan and company.

Due to the addition of the student council, the group once again grew bigger—there were already more than 50 people. After the group entered Restriction City, they directly stormed the area. The ordinary bronze beasts and bronze birds couldn't withstand the slaughtering of so many students.

Surprisingly, Feng Qiuyan, who loved to use his saber, didn't take action this time. He was gaming on his phone just like Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen saw that the game Feng Qiuyan was playing was a mini-game called "Last 20 Seconds If You Are A Man." The game was very simple, but it wasn't easy to maintain 20 seconds in the game without dying.

When Zhou Wen saw Feng Qiuyan gaming, the latter had already lasted more than a minute. However, he still failed to escape the fate of death.

As there were so many students, and many of them were extremely powerful seniors, the originally dangerous Restriction City seemed to become a tourist attraction. Even the Bronze Luck Beasts were quickly cleared.

Wang Lu had even used Zhou Wen's strategy to kill one. Indeed, she had easily improved her results to less than a minute.

"Zhou Wen, I think highly of you. If you join the student council now, there's a high chance of becoming the president of the student council. Think about it," Wei Ge said to Zhou Wen when they were alone.

"I'm fine as is. Besides, I only like gaming. I can't be president," Zhou Wen said.

"No one was born to be one. Just take your time to learn. You don't have to be in a hurry to answer me. Think about it first," Wei Ge said with a smile.

Seeing Hui Haifeng walk over, Wei Ge didn't wish to meet him. He bade Zhou Wen farewell and left.

"Did Wei Ge tell you that he thinks highly of you and wants you to join the student council to work with him? And when he leaves in the future, you will be the president of the student council?" Hui Haifeng walked to Zhou Wen's side and said with a smile.

Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback. Although his words were somewhat different, they had the same meaning.

Hui Haifeng smiled and said, "There's no need to be surprised. That punk is like that. He has said those words to almost every single member of the Ocean Club."

"I see." Zhou Wen was enlightened as he finally understood why Hui Haifeng had guessed Wei Ge's words so accurately.

"I've read your Bronze Luck Beast strategy. It's truly impressive. It has nothing to do with your combat strength. It's the kind of planning ability that can calculate such shortcuts in chaotic environments that can avoid the sacrifice of many soldiers when exploring new dimensional zones," Hui Haifeng said.

"You plan on joining the army in the future?" Zhou Wen asked Hui Haifeng.

Hui Haifeng nodded. "If there's a chance, I'll join the army. If there's no chance, I'll work on something related. If a man can't do something jaw-dropping his entire life, I feel like life would have been lived in vain."

"I wish you success." Although Zhou Wen didn't share the same views, it didn't stop him from appreciating such a person. At the very least, he had a good impression of Hui Haifeng.

Everyone kept storming into Restriction City as all sorts of bronze beasts were killed. Unfortunately, the drop rates of the bronze beasts were too low. It would only produce a single dimensional crystal occasionally. Furthermore, their attributes were generally not high.

As he walked forward, Zhou Wen suddenly felt the mysterious phone in his pocket vibrate. It left him somewhat taken aback.

He had already found the tiny palm print of Restriction City and had downloaded it into his phone. Why was the mysterious phone still vibrating?

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhou Wen deliberately stayed at the back. He took out the mysterious phone, wanting to know why it was vibrating.

As soon as he took out the phone, the camera was automatically activated.

Zhou Wen raised his phone and looked around the city. When a scene appeared on his screen, the camera app automatically locked onto it. A green frame appeared that enclosed something on the screen.

It was an old and worn wall. At a glance, it seemed as though there was nothing different about it. There was nothing different about it from the brick walls beside it.

However, when Zhou Wen walked to the side of the brick wall and touched it with his hand, he realized that the brick wall wasn't made of ordinary brick, but some kind of metal.

The mysterious phone's camera function was only locked onto the metal wall, but it didn't automatically take pictures or lock onto any patterns. Zhou Wen was momentarily unsure of what was so special about the metal wall.

It was a part of a particular building, but the structure was somewhat odd. It was squarish, like a miniature ancient city.

The four walls of the city were only about ten meters tall. Zhou Wen circled the building but didn't find any doors or windows.

Using his ability to fly thanks to the Godfiend Life Providence, he flew to the top of the building and discovered that the roof was sealed as well. The entire building didn't seem to have an entrance.

Can it be that the item that causes the mysterious phone to vibrate is inside the building and not the metal wall itself? Zhou Wen wondered.

Chapter 163 Death City

"What did you discover?" Wang Lu jumped up and sized up the building beneath her.

"This building is a little odd. There aren't any entrances or windows around it. Furthermore, it doesn't seem to use ordinary bricks. It seems to be made from a special type of bronze," Zhou Wen said.

"It's indeed a little odd." Wang Lu crouched down to touch it and nodded. "Its metal. It's indeed a little strange."

Their actions attracted Li Xuan and the company. Wang Lu explained the situation and everyone agreed that the building was strange.

"All of you, move aside. Let me try and see if I can smash it open." A stout boy from the Ocean Club struck down at the metal wall with a huge hammer.

The boy was at the Legendary stage, and he was a Strength-type. He had also used his metal hammer that had Primordial Gold mixed in, combined with his Primordial Energy Skill, to strike the wall. Even if the wall was made of metal bricks, he should have been able to smash open a crack.

However, not only did he fail to blast through the metal wall, he even fell to the ground from the recoil. The hammer in his hand flew out of his hand, and his hands were dripping with blood. The area between his thumb and index finger had torn.

"It's so hard!" Everyone was shocked. The boy was famous for his Strength in school, but due to his poor Speed, he was unable to enter the top ten.

In terms of strength alone, he would probably be ranked in the top three. For the Full-Strength strike from such a person to fail to scratch the surface of the metal wall made it clear that it was truly extraordinary.

This only intrigued everyone further. They tried a variety of methods, but unfortunately, they failed to succeed in seeing what was inside.

Even Zhou Wen used Truth Listener's powers. He wanted to hear what was inside, but the interior of the building seemed to be a chunk of solid mass. There wasn't any movement at all. Zhou Wen couldn't hear a thing from the dead silence.

"That's Death City." A voice suddenly sounded.

Zhou Wen looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person speaking was a long-haired boy. His looks were ordinary, but he looked refined. He had a scholarly air to him.

Zhou Wen hadn't noticed him in the beginning perhaps because of his reticent temperament that didn't attract much attention among the students.

"Jiang Yan, this strange building is called Death City? Do you know its origins?" Wei Ge asked him.

Jiang Yan was a member of the student council, but he didn't look like one of the key members. He was probably just an ordinary member, so no one had noticed him before.

"In the Zhou dynasty, while humans were still confined to the borders of undeveloped barbaric behavior, many people believed in ghosts and gods, and it was very common for them to carry out rituals to worship the heavens. The funeral rituals were also very particular, especially the members of the royal family back then. In the later years of the Eastern Zhou dynasty, King Zhou became afraid of death. He built Death City and placed his bones and blood in it, hoping that by indicating his passing, he could hide from the heavens and escape death. Unfortunately, heaven's will couldn't be violated. He ultimately died." Jiang Yan's eyes flashed a look of mockery.

After a pause, Jiang Yan continued, "According to the few historical records, Death City is made of bronze, with no doors or windows…"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, everyone was increasingly convinced that this strange bronze building was the legendary Death City.

"I thought it was something good, but it turns out it's just a fake grave. It only spells bad luck," a boy said.

"That might not be the case," said Jiang Yan indifferently. "In order to fool the ghosts and gods, King Zhou didn't only put his bones and blood in Dead City; he also buried his personal items and treasures with him. There were even some brutal kings who would even bury their beloved concubines alive. In order to fool the ghosts and gods, he had put in much effort."

"Does that mean that there might be treasures inside?" Many students' eyes lit up when they heard that.

"If the history books are right, there will definitely be burial items inside. However, now that this place has turned into a dimensional zone, there might be some abnormal changes in it. It wouldn't be surprising if it had dimensional creatures inside," said Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Yan, do you know how to open Death City?" Wei Ge asked Jiang Yan.

It was his first time realizing that Jiang Yan had such a side to him, as though it was somewhat different from the person he knew before.

"Dig into the area beneath the south wall of Death City. If this is really East Zhou's Death City, there should be an entrance there," Jiang Yan said.

Wei Ge arranged for people to dig according to Jiang Yan's instructions. After a hole seven to eight feet deep was dug, they saw a hole appear on the metal wall.

After digging further down, a circular hole appeared. It was a tunnel that went all the way into Death City, but it was winding, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

"Which one of us is willing to go in first and take a look?" Wei Ge said.

"I don't know about others, but I'm definitely entering to take a look. However, I don't want to be the first to enter," Li Xuan said.

After a short discussion, Hui Haifeng was the first to enter. The four clubs sent a few people in.

Zhou Wen originally didn't wish to enter, but Li Xuan pulled him inside. Soon, they heard Hui Haifeng's voice from ahead. "Everyone, come on in. There's no danger inside."

By the time Zhou Wen and Li Xuan climbed in, Wei Ge, Hui Haifeng, Feng Qiuyan, Li Weiyang, and the company were already standing in Death City.

Zhou Wen originally imagined that he would see skeletons and coffins, but after entering, he realized that there was nothing of that sort. There was only a tree in the city.

The tree was about two meters tall. The branches and leaves were all black, but there were many thin white lines on them. It looked like a painting drawn in black and white.

"Jiang Yan, what's going on? Didn't you say that this Death City has King Zhou's bones and burial items? Why is there only this tree?" Wei Ge questioned Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan said indifferently, "I've already said that those are records in the history books. After the dimensional storms, it's normal to have abnormal changes inside."

"Then do you know what tree this is?" someone asked.

"I don't know," Jiang Yan replied straightforwardly.

Everyone was somewhat disappointed. Even though they didn't really have any hopes of digging up any treasures, learning that there was only one tree in there wiped away their curiosity instantly. They were somewhat disappointed.

"What crappy tree is this? It caused us to waste so much time." A member of the Ocean Club kicked the tree trunk unhappily.

With this kick, the pitch-black tree swayed and turned a bright white color. In the blink of an eye, the black tree had turned completely white.

Chapter 164 The Color-Changing Tree

The originally black tree turned snow-white in an instant. Everyone was shocked and retreated warily.

However, other than turning snow-white, the tree did not undergo any other changes, nor was there any danger.

After a while, the white tree gradually turned black again, as if nothing had happened.

"This tree is a little strange. It's clearly a black tree, so why did it suddenly turn white?" Li Xuan was extremely curious as he held a wooden stick and stabbed it a few times.

However, the black tree remained black without any changes from before.

Zhou Wen aimed his mysterious phone at the black tree and the camera function immediately locked onto it. Clearly, it was the tree that had caused the mysterious phone to vibrate.

He pressed the shutter button and the phone immediately entered the picture-taking interface.

Quite a number of people were using their cell phones to illuminate the area as well as taking pictures of the black tree. Zhou Wen's actions didn't seem too out of the ordinary.

As there was no danger, someone boldly shook the black tree. In the next second, the black tree had turned into a ruby-like color. It was like a gem in the shape of a tree, shimmering with a dazzling glow of riches.

The person shaking the tree was a girl. This scene gave her a shock and she hurriedly retreated.

Just like before, nothing dangerous happened. The red gem tree gradually lost its luster and soon returned to its dark appearance.

"This is really strange." Li Xuan seemed to have thought of something as he carefully shook the black tree with his hand. Indeed, the black tree had changed color again. However, it was different from the previous few colors. This time, the black tree had turned golden.

"It seems like the color will be different depending on the person," Li Xuan said.

"Let me give it a try." Everyone was curious as they attempted to shake the black tree.

Indeed, just as Li Xuan said, when different people touched the black tree, it would transform into another color. Even if it changed to red, the red itself was a different shade.

"Old Zhou, try it too," Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen.

"There's no need. I don't like to take risks. It's best you don't touch it." Zhou Wen shook his head. Before figuring out what the black tree was, he was unwilling to touch it.

The phone was still in the middle of downloading, and the download speed seemed much slower than before.

After the crowd had their fun, they realized that the black tree didn't have any other function other than changing colors. Soon, they were bored with it.

As there was nothing else here, everyone left Death City and continued exploring Restriction City.

The mysterious phone was still in the middle of downloading. It didn't finish even when the club activity ended and everyone left together.

With the screen constantly downloading, Zhou Wen had no way of gaming. After returning to his dorm, he had a good nap-a rather rare opportunity.

Ever since he had advanced to the Legendary stage, the feeling of having sleep paralysis hadn't happened again. Zhou Wen had a good nap and ended up waking the next morning. After washing up and eating, he realized that the download had been completed when he unlocked the mysterious phone. There was a tree-shaped icon on the home screen.

However, the cartoon-styled icon looked different from the black tree. There were three words "Dead Man Tree" written below.

Zhou Wen was somewhat curious as to why a tree had an instance dungeon. He immediately tapped on the tree's icon.

After launching the app, the scene turned black. In the dark space, there was a tree-a black one. However, in the dark cavern, one could clearly see the tree's appearance.

Apart from its cartoon-styled appearance, it was the black tree they had encountered in Death City.

The blood-colored avatar stood in front of it, but apart from the black tree, there was nothing around it. Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss as to what the instance dungeon was for.

He summoned the Silver-Winged Flying Ant and let it fly towards the black tree. He then attacked the black tree with Magical Needle which stabbed into it but failed to penetrate it. He wasn't able to damage the black tree at all either.

The tree didn't react and remained standing quietly in the darkness.

Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before deciding to let the blood-colored avatar personally touch the tree to see if there would be any abnormal changes.

However, Zhou Wen found it strange that after the blood-colored avatar touched it, the color of the black tree did not change. It was still black, completely the same as before.

Strange, why didn't the color change? Zhou Wen remembered that in Death City, the black tree had undergone a change in color when people touched it. Nothing like what had happened to him was experienced in game.

Is it me or is it a problem with the game? Zhou Wen was momentarily unsure of what the tree was for, nor did he understand the use of the instance dungeon. All he could do was ignore it for the time being. After quitting the game, he logged into other dungeons to hunt monsters.

Now, Zhou Wen only grinded two types of monsters. One was mutated Legendary monsters since only they could drop stats crystals above 18 points which were of use to him.

Another was Epic creatures that could drop stats crystals that exceeded 20 points. They were similarly useful to Zhou Wen.

However, Epic creatures were too powerful. He was no match for the few Epic creatures Zhou Wen encountered in-game, so all he could do was search for the mutated Legendary creatures.

In a room at the An family's residence in Luoyang, An Tianzuo had recently returned home.

"Tianzuo, has the situation around Luoyang been very bad recently?" Ouyang Lan asked worriedly.

"It's not that bad. Apart from the problematic matters at the Qihe River, there aren't too many problems in other places," said An Tianzuo with a smile. "Mom, don't worry. As long as I'm in Luoyang, I won't let those dimensional creatures invade Luoyang."

Ouyang Lan nodded slightly and sighed before saying, "The Holy Land qualification competition is just around the corner. If Zhou Wen goes alone, I won't be at ease. Let Ah Sheng accompany him, right?"

"Mom, are you really letting Zhou Wen go? Aren't you going to reconsider?" An Tianzuo frowned.

Ouyang Lan shook her head and said, "I know what you're thinking. However, Xiaojing has a congenital illness. It would be terrifying if something were to happen to her during her acceptance of the special physique. I don't want Little Jing to take any risks. Do you understand?"

"Understood." An Tianzuo added, "But I believe that Little Jing can do it."

"There's no need to elaborate on this matter. I've already made up my mind. Furthermore, the nomination has been changed to Zhou Wen. There's no way to change it." Ouyang Lan stopped An Tianzuo from continuing.

An Tianzuo remained silent. Although he didn't agree with Ouyang Lan's decision, he would not go against her wishes. He had always been a filial son.

Ouyang Lan sighed lightly. "Besides, Zhou Wen might not be willing to go. He has no blood relationship with the two of you, but his temper is extraordinarily similar. He's always so stubborn."

"It's different. He's stubborn while we are confident," said An Tianzuo proudly.

Ouyang Lan only looked at An Tianzuo and smiled without saying another word.

Chapter 165 Dead Man Tree

An Jing huddled into a ball and leaned against the corner of the wall, enduring the pain that was like a knife being twisted inside her.

Why don't people who can cultivate the Sun Strafe Art cherish it? I have to ensure such pain just to cultivate it. Why is Heaven so unfair to me? An Jing thought of Zhou Wen amidst the pain as she clenched her teeth, seemingly reducing the pain she felt.

She had a congenital disease, so she couldn't cultivate Sun Strafe Art, a Primordial Energy Art which was highly yang in nature. However, if she failed to master the Sun Strafe Art, she would not be able to obtain the special physique she needed.

In the Holy Land, there were several special physiques. The special physiques that everyone could obtain were different, but they had to have the corresponding strength attributes to obtain the corresponding special physiques.

The special physique that An Jing wanted was the Sun God Body. If she could master the Sun Strafe Art, she would have an 80% chance of obtaining the Sun God Body if she stood out.

However, the Sun Strafe Art didn't match her body's attributes. When she cultivated the Sun Strafe Art, it would trigger her congenital illness. Every time she cultivated, she would feel like dying due to the excruciating pain.

An Jing didn't give up because of this. Even though Ouyang Lan had forbidden her from cultivating the Sun Strafe Art, she still secretly endured it.

Even Ouyang Lan believed that An Jing had advanced to the Legendary stage by using another Primordial Energy Art. She never expected An Jing to endure extreme pain to advance to the Legendary stage with the Sun Strafe Art.

However, this matter was something An Jing had never told anyone. Even An Tianzuo wasn't aware of it.

After completing the Sun Strafe Art's cultivation, the pain in An Jing's body gradually disappeared, making her complexion turn for the better.

After taking a shower and changing into a clean set of clothes, An Jing walked out of her dorm and arrived in front of her neighbor's door. After a moment of hesitation, her eyes turned resolute as she pressed the doorbell of Zhou Wen's dorm.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Wen opened the door and asked curiously when he saw An Jing standing outside.

"Do you still remember our three-month contract?" she asked calmly.

"I don't remember." Zhou Wen shook his head. It was only a one-sided statement by An Jing. He had never agreed to a three-month contract.

"It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not. Although it's not three months yet, since you've already advanced to the Legendary stage and have so many powerful pets, it will be a fair battle between us now. It's time for us to end things," An Jing said.

"I'm not interested in that special physique nomination. If you want it that much, I can accompany you to meet Sis Lan. Let me convince her to return the nomination to you," Zhou Wen said.

An Jing looked at Zhou Wen and suddenly felt extremely aggrieved. She had risked her life to obtain the nomination, but it was nothing of importance to Zhou Wen.

Suddenly, An Jing's fighting spirit vanished without a trace.

So what if I defeat Zhou Wen? So what if I prove that I'm more outstanding than him? I still can't go to the Holy Land to get the Sun God Body. An Jing felt like everything was meaningless.

Without looking at Zhou Wen again, An Jing turned and left, looking somewhat lost.

Strange person. Zhou Wen found it odd when he saw An Jing leave just like that.

However, since An Jing had automatically given up antagonizing him, it was naturally best for Zhou Wen.

"Zhou Wen, bad news." Just as Zhou Wen was about to close the door and return to his room to continue gaming, he saw Li Xuan running over, panting

"What's wrong?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.

"Something happened. Something big has happened." Li Xuan gasped for breath as he said, "Someone died in our college. A few students died."

"Did they die in the dimensional zones?" Zhou Wen asked.

"No, they died in school. Furthermore, the people who died were people who joined us on our trip to Restriction City yesterday. Furthermore, all of them had entered Death City as well. That includes Wang Lu," Li Xuan said with an odd expression.

"Wang Lu is dead? How did they die?" Zhou Wen was alarmed when he heard that.

"I don't know." Li Xuan shook his head.

"How do you not know?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly.

"I heard from the school's management that they have yet to find out the cause of their deaths, nor do they know how they died. A few of them were walking when they suddenly collapsed to the ground and died. They were not breathing and their heart had stopped beating. The cause of death hasn't been found either. Wang Lu was roughly the same. She was reading in the library when she suddenly fell to the ground. There wasn't any warning. The people from the school and the military are investigating, but there hasn't been an answer yet."

With that said, fear appeared on Li Xuan's face. "What's more frightening is that they died at the same time. Furthermore…"

"Furthermore what?" Zhou Wen knew that Li Xuan had definitely discovered something important.

"Further, if I remember correctly, those people who died had touched that black tree. Coincidentally, when they touched the black tree, the black tree turned red." Li Xuan swallowed his saliva and continued, "I don't know if this has anything to do with their deaths, but it's too much of a coincidence."

"Did you tell the counselors about this?" Zhou Wen had an ominous feeling.

"I told them. The college has already sent people to Restriction City and found that bronze building. However, after entering, there was no sight of that black tree. There was nothing inside, not even a leaf. It's as if there was never a tree there." When Li Xuan said that, his body trembled slightly. Clearly, he was feeling a little horrified.

"Let's go. Take me to their corpses," Zhou Wen said through gritted teeth.

"The military has already taken over this matter and the corpses are in the military's hands. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter," Li Xuan said.

"Take me there now." As Zhou Wen spoke, he switched on the mysterious phone and opened the Dead Man Tree icon.

After he loaded the game, Zhou Wen immediately felt his heart turn cold when he saw the dead tree. He saw that the originally pitch-black dead tree was now completely red, like it was carved out of a ruby. It emitted a strange red glow.

The deaths of Wang Lu and company are indeed related to this Dead Man Tree. Now that the tree has turned red, Wang Lu and company have died. Then, if the tree becomes another color, will those students who share the same color after touching the tree also die? Zhou Wen's ominous feeling intensified.

Now, all he wanted to do was quickly see their corpses and see how their deaths were related to the Dead Man Tree. He wanted to know if there was still a chance of them being revived.

An Jing overheard their conversation and subconsciously followed them.

Under Li Xuan's lead, the trio quickly arrived at the school's military base.

"Their corpses are inside, but it's not just us; even if a counselor comes, they will definitely not be able to enter without the military's permission," Li Xuan said as he pointed at the door manned by guards.

Chapter 166 Dissection

"An Jing, can you take us in?" Zhou Wen cast his gaze at An Jing. At that moment, he couldn't be bothered about their differences anymore.

Now, Zhou Wen was afraid that the military would dissect their corpses, spelling doom to everything

"Sure, but I have one condition," An Jing said after some thought.

"I promise to fight you. Take me in immediately," Zhou Wen said straight away.

"I didn't say I wanted to fight you," An Jing said, surprising Zhou Wen.

"Then what do you want?" Zhou Wen asked with a frown.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Just treat it as if you owe me one. I'll tell you after I've thought it through." After An Jing said that, she didn't wait for Zhou Wen to rush her as she walked straight to the door.

"Hello, please show some identification." The two soldiers who were guarding the door clearly recognized An Jing. However, after saluting her, they still kept her outside and did not let her in immediately.

An Jing seemed to have known this would happen, so she didn't react in any special manner. She took out an identification card from her pocket before the soldiers allowed her to take Zhou Wen and Li Xuan into the encampment.

After asking where the morgue was, they went straight to it. She was no stranger to the military encampment here.

Zhou Wen was somewhat glad that An Jing was here. Otherwise, with the encampment so huge, it wouldn't be easy for him and Li Xuan to come in and find the morgue.

Zhou Wen looked at his phone as he walked, only to see five flower buds appear on the glowing red Dead Man Tree.

The flower buds also looked like they were carved out of ruby. It was even more dazzling, but they exuded an evil aura. Through the ruby-like flower petals, he could vaguely see something inside, as if it were a beating heart.

"How many dead classmates are there?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Five." Li Xuan thought for a moment before replying.

Zhou Wen was almost certain that Wang Lu and company's deaths had something to do with the five flowers on the Dead Man Tree. However, he didn't know what the five flowers meant, nor did he know what to do. He could only wait until he saw the corpses before deciding:

In the morgue, Deputy Inspector Qin Wufu and a few Epic experts stationed at Sunset College were listening to the forensics report.

"There are no obvious wounds or symptoms on the outside. We didn't find anything through X-ray either. We can only perform an autopsy now before we decide the outcome," said Coroner Yan Zhen.

"No, we can't dissect them." An Epic expert immediately rejected Yan Zhen's words with a firm tone.

"If we don't do an autopsy, it will be difficult to find the true reason for the deaths," Yan Zhen said slowly.

"The daughter of the Wang family died here for no reason. If we were to dissect her body, how are we going to explain it to the Wang family when they arrive?" the Epic expert from before said.

"Since Wang Lu's corpse cannot be dissected, we can first dissect the corpses of the other four," said Yan Zhen.

"That would work." the Epic expert's tone softened significantly.

"You can't dissect them." However, Qin Wufu vetoed Yan Zhen's suggestion.

"Why can't we dissect them?" Yan Zhen asked as he looked at Qin Wufu.

"Although their bodily functions have stopped, they still have a tiny bit of life on them. They might not be truly dead yet. You can't dissect them and kill them!" Qin Wufu said.

Yan Zhen laughed after hearing that. "Deputy Inspector, if we don't dissect them now, we won't be able to find the reason why they are in such a state. Then, what's the difference between them and the dead? Now, all we need to do is dissect the other four students, and we might be able to find out the reason. Who knows, we might be able to save Wang Lu. This is the best choice we have right now, isn't it?"

A few Epic officers also felt that this was a pretty viable plan. If Wang Lu could be saved, their problems would be greatly reduced.

"If Wang Lu can be saved, the others should be saved as well," Qin Wufu said as he stared at Yan Zhen.

"Please forgive me for my inadequacies," Yan Zhen said.

"All of you may leave. I'll chat with Dr. Yan alone." Qin Wufu waved his hand and dismissed everyone. They left the morgue, leaving only Yan Zhen and Qin Wufu behind.

At this moment, Qin Wufu stared at Yan Zhen and said coldly, "Yan Zhen, I know that you can save them. You want to dissect them only because you want to know what kind of power has turned them into this."

"Deputy Inspector, aren't you thinking too highly of me? I'm just a doctor, not a god. I don't even know what kind of injuries they have suffered, so how can I save them?" Yan Zhen nudged his glasses and said with an unperturbed expression.

"Speak. What condition do you want to save them?" Qin Wufu frowned.

"There's no condition. Dissect four corpses and save one," Yan Zhen said indifferently, licking his lips as he stared at the five corpses.

"They are living people, not your experimental subjects." A furious expression appeared on Qin Wufu's face.

"They're real people if I save them. If not, they are just dead people. Using the dead as experimental subjects wasn't even a big deal back in times of peace." Yan Zhen's tone sounded like he was saying something that was only right.

Qin Wufu was so angry that his face turned livid. If he didn't know Yan Zhen well enough, he would probably have drawn his gun and killed this despicable fellow.

But now, he couldn't do that. The only person who could save these five students was Yan Zhen.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Qin Wufu said coldly, "Rescue these five students. I will apply for you to use the bodies of the dead soldiers for your experiments."

"No, I want these four experimental subjects." Yan Zhen categorically rejected Qin Wufu. There was no room for negotiation.

"Haven't you always been wanting to experiment with the corpses of dead soldiers? If you miss this chance, you definitely won't get another one. You're giving that up just to dissect these four students. Is it worth it?" Qin Wufu looked at Yan Zhen and said.

"It's worth it. These five people are in a very strange state. If I dissect them, it might be of great help to my research. I want to see what kind of power is at work," said Yan Zhen.

"I will definitely not give you this opportunity," said Qin Wufu angrily.

"You have no choice. If I don't save them, Wang Lu will also die. Should I let Wang Lu die with the four of them, or let the four die while Wang Lu lives? Deputy Inspector Qin, make your choice." Yan Zhen looked at Qin Wufu with certainty, as though he was certain that Qin Wufu could do nothing about him.

Qin Wufu stared intently at Yan Zhen, wishing that he could slay this bastard with his saber. However, he knew that it was useless even if he killed him. Yan Zhen definitely wouldn't yield unless he achieved his goals. Killing him made no difference.

Furthermore, killing Yan Zhen meant Wang Lu was doomed.

Just as Qin Wufu was about to compromise, he suddenly heard the door to the morgue being pushed open. He could not help but be enraged as he shouted coldly, "Get out! Who let you in?"

Chapter 167 Dead Man Flower

"Uncle Qin." An Jing looked at the furious Qin Wufu, a little puzzled who could make him so angry.

Although Qin Wufu's name had the implications of being a warrior, he was not one that was prone to anger. The last time An Jing saw him angry was a childhood memory.

The reason Qin Wufu was angry was not that he couldn't save those four students. If there was really no way to save them, Qin Wufu wouldn't be angered or have his judgment affected even when an entire battalion was wiped out in war, much less the deaths of four students.

But now, there was a way to save them, but he could only watch helplessly as four students died. Furthermore, they died in the hands of a coroner on their side. This was something that Qin Wufu couldn't accept.

"Little Jing, why are you here?" Qin Wufu's expression softened when he saw An Jing.

"Uncle Qin, we would like to see the bodies of those five students." An Jing explained the purpose of her visit.

Qin Wufu said, "What's so nice about corpses? Little Jing, bring your classmates to my office first. Uncle Qin will catch up with you after I'm done here."

"Inspector Qin, just like them, we had entered the bronze building in Restriction City. We have also touched a tree that can change color," Zhou Wen said.

Qin Wufu said, "The military has already sent people to investigate the situation several times. There is indeed a bronze building in Restriction City, but there's no sign of the tree all of you mentioned."

"So many of us students saw that tree. So many of us can't be wrong, right?" Li Xuan asked.

"I already know about this. I will send people to continue the investigation. There are still matters to be handled here. Go outside and wait." Qin Wufu wanted to quickly convince Yan Zhen to save the five students.

"Inspector Qin, when the five of them touched that tree, the tree turned red, and now, they have died in a bizarre manner. There are more than a dozen students who touched the tree, causing it to turn into another color. Now that Wang Lu and the rest are dead, will the other students die one day? If we don't figure out the problem regarding Wang Lu and the others, there might be even more students dying," Zhou Wen said.

When Yan Zhen heard this, he smiled and said, "This student is right. If we don't figure out the cause of their deaths now, more people will die. My dissection of them now is to prevent more students from dying. It's best you quickly decide."

"You can't dissect them," Zhou Wen said before Qin Wufu could answer.

After seeing Wang Lu and company's corpses, he was even more certain that they hadn't really died. After approaching their corpses, the five flower buds in-game became even more dazzling, with signs of blooming.

Qin Wufu, Yan Zhen, and even An Jing and Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement, unsure why he was so agitated.

Zhou Wen knew that he had to take the risk. It was impossible for Qin Wufu to hear a student like him shoot his mouth. Furthermore, Zhou Wen himself didn't know what was happening, so how could he convince Qin Wufu?

Therefore, he could only take a gamble. If one of them could be revived, then Qin Wufu would naturally disagree with the dissection of the corpses.

"I don't think they're dead yet. They shouldn't be dissected," Zhou Wen said as he pointed at the corpses of Wang Lu and company.

Qin Wufu was slightly taken aback as he couldn't help but carefully size up Zhou Wen. He had been engaged in battle all his life, so he was accustomed to seeing dead people. Furthermore, with the cultivation of his Primordial Energy Art, he could sense that Wang Lu and company were not truly dead.

A student like Zhou Wen was at most at the Legendary stage, but he could tell that Wang Lu and the others were still alive. This left him astonished.

"What's your name? Why do you say that they aren't dead yet?" Qin Wufu asked Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen didn't answer the first question and directly said, "I've seen that tree with them before. Furthermore, I am more sensitive than most people. I can sense that they have the aura of that tree and the aura of the tree represses their aura. That results in this phenomenon of a fake death. If the aura of that tree is removed, they might be able to come back to life."

"Can you really sense their auras?" Qin Wufu sized up Zhou Wen from head to toe as he was secretly impressed with him.

From his point of view, the aura Zhou Wen mentioned was likely life-force. It was impossible to see or touch life-force. Only people who cultivated some special Primordial Energy Art or had such special abilities could sense it.

Although Qin Wufu didn't know how true it was for Zhou Wen to be able to sense the existence of life-force, the current situation matched Wang Lu and company's.

"Yes." Zhou Wen nodded.

"I'm already aware of the situation you mentioned. I'll think of a way to save your classmates. You can return now." Although Qin Wufu thought highly of Zhou Wen, he didn't think too much of it. All he thought was that Zhou Wen had a keen sense.

Zhou Wen knew that it was impossible to convince Qin Wufu with his empty words as a student. Furthermore, he lacked the plans needed to save Wang Lu and company.

As he turned to leave, Zhou Wen took out his cell phone to take a look. At the same time, he ordered the blood-colored avatar to slash at one of the flowers.

Zhou Wen was originally somewhat hesitant to sever the flower buds. After all, this was a risk. If he severed them and ended up harming them, it would be equivalent to him killing Wang Lu and company.

But now, the military clearly didn't have any good solutions. There was a high chance that they were going to dissect the students. If they were to do so, death was certain. Therefore, Zhou Wen might as well give it a try. That way, there would at least be a chance of survival.

Through the blood-colored avatar's perception, Zhou Wen tried his best to sense the five flower buds on the tree. He could vaguely sense that the aura within the five flowers seemed somewhat different. They corresponded to the five corpses on the bed.

Zhou Wen roughly determined which flower bud belonged to Wang Lu before he got the blood-colored avatar to slash at another flower bud.

Most people would subconsciously prioritize protecting people who were closer to them. Those who could prioritize protecting strangers or treat them as equals were saints.

Zhou Wen wasn't a saint, so he chose an unfamiliar classmate as his first test subject.

The Astral Slash Blade slashed across the flower bud like a sharp blade. The flower bud and leaves shook a few times but failed to be lopped off.

Zhou Wen's heart tightened. The Astral Slash Blade was already considered a relatively powerful offensive Primordial Energy Skill of his. But if the Astral Slash Blade couldn't injure the flower bud, it was likely that his other Primordial Energy Skills would be ineffective.

Although the saber beam failed to cut off the flower bud, the corpse on the bed suddenly moved and sat up straight like a zombie having come back to life.

Chapter 168 Slaying Flowers

The few of them were shocked as they looked at the corpse. It was the corpse of a male student.

However, in the next second, the corpse fell back onto the bed without any movement.

Yan Zhen immediately went forward to do a checkup. Qin Wufu also walked to the bed and stared at the corpse, hoping that things would turn for the better. He was in no mood to bother with Zhou Wen and company.

The trio stopped in their tracks and watched the situation on the bed. Zhou Wen stood near the wall behind them and got the blood-colored avatar to summon Banana Fairy.

The Banana Fairy held the banana leaf and waved it at the flower bud on the tree. The Grand Yin Wind swept over, causing the leaves to shake violently. However, that was all. It failed to blow off the flower buds.

On the other hand, the corpse began to tremble again. It was an extremely harrowing sight.

When Zhou Wen saw that he couldn't even blow off the flower bud with the Grand Yin Wind, his expression warped. He knew that it would be very difficult for him to cut off the flower bud today.

Unwilling to watch Wang Lu and company die, Zhou Wen had no choice but to summon his pets and attack the flower bud one after another. It could be considered a last-ditch effort.

"How is this happening?" The boy's corpse shook continuously. Yan Zhen had used several methods but failed to detect anything, nor could he stop the shaking.

Noticing that Yan Zhen seemed to be at a loss, Qin Wufu couldn't help but frown.

Yan Zhen's medical skills were not only excellent, and the Primordial Energy Art he cultivated had something to do with his Life Providence and Life Soul, so he had an ability that was just short of reviving the dead.

Now that he couldn't do anything about it, things were clearly turning for the worse.

Zhou Wen watched his pets attack the flower bud one by one, but it was completely ineffective. Just as he was feeling disappointed, he saw Truth Listener's figure flash. It arrived in front of the flower bud, grabbed it with its paw, and plucked it off. Zhou Wen couldn't help but be delighted.

The moment the flower bud was plucked, the boy, who had been trembling non-stop on the bed, suddenly sat up. His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened.

"What… what are you trying to do…" When the boy saw Yan Zhen about to stab him with a needle, he immediately shouted and jumped down from the bed.

"Yan Zhen, quickly stop." Qin Wufu was overjoyed. At the same time, he stopped Yan Zhen and immediately subdued the boy. He quickly checked his body and discovered that other than being a little weak, the boy was no different from a normal, healthy person.

Zhou Wen was also observing the boy. Seeing that he was indeed fine, he got Truth Listener to pluck another flower bud from the tree.

The flower buds were easily removed by Truth Listener. This time, Zhou Wen felt a lot more relaxed. He immediately saw the game's system notification: 'Obtained an Unripe Dead Man Flower.'

As the flower bud was plucked off, another schoolmate was revived. This delighted Qin Wufu greatly.

Li Xuan was also overjoyed. He had also touched the dead tree and had always been very afraid that he would die just like them. Now that he saw them alive again, he immediately felt a weight lift off his chest.

Zhou Wen waited for a while and seeing that the student was fine, he got Truth Listener to pluck the other flower buds.

The flower buds were plucked off one after another. Similarly, the schoolmates revived. Wang Lu was the last to wake up as she looked around blankly, unsure of what had happened.

Everyone was overjoyed. Only Yan Zhen frowned as he sized up the five students as if he was filled with doubt.

Qin Wufu called out to the other medical personnel and asked them to give the five students a detailed examination. The results were normal, but their bodies were a little weak and were in need of nourishment.

Seeing that they were fine, Zhou Wen heaved a sigh of relief before leaving with Li Xuan.

"Yan Zhen, it looks like you're going to be disappointed this time." Qin Wufu said to him in a good mood before leaving with An Jing.

However, Yan Zhen ignored Qin Wufu. He only looked at the test results of the five students and sank into deep thought.

How did this happen? Their bodies had completely stopped functioning, so why would they be able to revive without any external help? Yan Zhen carefully recalled the entire process.

The anomaly of the five corpses seemed to happen only after the three students arrived. Could it be related to the three students? Zhou Wen's face flashed across Yan Zhen's mind. Although there were three people, he had the deepest impression of Zhou Wen.

Perhaps it was because Zhou Wen had said that Wang Lu and company were still alive or because of Yan Zhen's intuition, he was increasingly convinced that the matter was related to Zhou Wen as he thought about it.

That's interesting. Was this a subconscious act or did he do something? The corners of Yan Zhen's mouth pulled up as though he had thought of something interesting.

Yan Zhen was more inclined to the latter as he thought to himself, They'd all come into contact with that tree. Could it be some situation that allows them to exert a mutual influence amongst themselves? It looks like there's a need for further research.

After Zhou Wen returned to his dorm, he took out the mysterious phone and looked at the five ruby-like flower buds in Truth Listener's hand.

Dead Man Flower: Flower of a Condensed Soul, Unripe.

After some research, Zhou Wen realized that the five flowers could neither vanish nor be absorbed. They didn't seem to be of any use.

From the looks of it, it must have been plucked off before it matured. That's why it turned into this. What would happen if the Dead Man Flower matured? Zhou Wen wasn't at all sure.

Just as he was considering how to deal with the five flower buds, he saw Truth Listener gesturing, as though it had something to tell him. At the same time, Truth Listener's conscience was sent over.

The thought was vague and Zhou Wen was unable to take in the information clearly, but he could roughly make out that Truth Listener wanted to eat the five flower buds.

Since there was no point in keeping them, Zhou Wen agreed.

Truth Listener was overjoyed as it opened its mouth and swallowed a flower.

Zhou Wen suddenly thought of something as he hurriedly stopped Truth Listener from continuing eating the flower buds. Then, he made a phone call to confirm that the five students were fine. Only then did he relax and let Truth Listener swallow the remaining flower buds.

Although Truth Listener's tiny body had devoured five flower buds, it still looked as though it was yearning for more.

Zhou Wen didn't relax as he kept paying attention to the Dead Man Tree's situation. Only after midnight did the red Dead Man Tree gradually change its color. However, it didn't turn back to black, but golden.

Zhou Wen remembered that the Dead Man Tree had turned golden when Li Xuan touched it. He hurriedly made a call to Li Xuan. The ringtone on the other end kept ringing, but no one picked up.

On the dead tree, another few sprouts grew out

Chapter 169 Showdown

Zhou Wen kept calling Li Xuan's phone, but no one picked up his calls. As for the sprouts, they gradually grew in size, forming a bud.

Zhou Wen didn't hesitate. He summoned Truth Listener and plucked the few sprouts. Then, he called Li Xuan and this time, it connected.

"Old Zhou, why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" Li Xuan's half-asleep voice came through the phone.

"I called you more than ten times. Why didn't you answer?" Zhou Wen asked.

"No way, right?" As Li Xuan spoke, he looked at his phone. Indeed, there were more than ten missed calls. He was immediately given a fright. "Strange, my phone is right beside my pillow. How can it be that I didn't hear it?"

Cultivators had keen senses. No matter how soundly they slept, it was impossible for them not to be woken up by their cell phone's loud ringing.

"Perhaps you've been working too hard recently. Get some sleep. I need some as well." Zhou Wen was certain that Li Xuan had been in the same fake death state as Wang Lu.

Ignoring what Li Xuan would be thinking, Zhou Wen hung up the phone and looked at the mysterious phone. He saw that Truth Listener had devoured all the little flower buds, licking its lips as though it hadn't had enough.

For the next few days, Zhou Wen didn't game. He stared at the Dead Man Tree every day. As long as it changed its color and sprouted, Zhou Wen got Truth Listener to pluck the flower buds and eat them.

As such, there were no more bizarre deaths in the school. At most, it was rumored that someone had fainted, only to awaken quickly.

On the eighth day, the dead tree recovered its original black color. Only when there weren't any other changes did Zhou Wen let out a long sigh.

However, on second thought, Zhou Wen found it a pity. Up to now, he still didn't know what changes the flowers would undergo if they truly matured.

Now that this tree existed in a mobile game, no one can see it again, much less touch it again. I'm afraid there's no chance to see the scene of the flower truly blooming. Zhou Wen felt a little regretful as he thought to himself, If only this tree can be taken out again. If anyone offends me in the future, I'll plant it at their doorstep. Without knowing how powerful the Dead Man Tree is, they will die just from touching it. A death a touch, two touches two deaths, how quaint.

Zhou Wen only mused over the idea. Since the Dead Man Tree had entered the game, it couldn't be taken out again.

"Coach, are you free now?" Feng Qiuyan, who had not seen him in days, suddenly came to Zhou Wen's dorm.

Zhou Wen felt a headache when he saw him, but he couldn't chase him away. All he could do was reply, "I'm going to be gaming the whole day. I'm not free."

Feng Qiuyan didn't mind as he continued, "Coach, I have already gained some success in the way of calmness. I hope you can test the results of my recent cultivation."

Zhou Wen wore a look of puzzlement. He didn't remember when he had taught Feng Qiuyan how to calm his mind. Yet, this fellow had actually mastered it.

"How do I test it?" It wasn't right for Zhou Wen to say that he had taught him nothing.

"I only know how to use a saber. Coach, please spar with me and see if there's any room for improvement in my saber techniques. Consider it my third lesson," said Feng Qiuyan as he transferred the 20,000 to Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen originally wanted to say that he didn't have time to spar with him, but seeing that he could collect 20,000, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

Simply sparring gained him twenty thousand. There was no reason to refuse.

He went to a sparring hall in the school with Feng Qiuyan. Feng Qiuyan took a practice rubber saber and said to Zhou Wen, "Coach, what weapon would you like?"

"I don't need any weapons." Zhou Wen had never practiced any weapon skills in the real world. Although he knew how to use swords and sabers, it was only limited to him slashing with brute force. There wasn't anything technical about it, so he might as well not use them.

"Coach, on your guard." Feng Qiuyan didn't stand on ceremony as he slashed with his saber.

Feng Qiuyan's saber appeared as heavy as a mountain. It was so fast that one could clearly see it, but not dodge it.

Even more terrifying was the biting cold saber aura that came with it. It instantly streaked across several meters and struck Zhou Wen.

Feng Qiuyan's saber was fast, but Zhou Wen wasn't slow either. He suddenly darted to the side and dodged Feng Qiuyan's saber aura. At the same time, he used Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to escape Feng Qiuyan's sharp and powerful saber aura.

Feng Qiuyan's attacks increased in speed with each strike he delivered. Zhou Wen pushed the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to its limits, but he found it increasingly taxing. It was as though he was a tiny boat in a stormy sea that could sink at any moment

Zhou Wen tried everything, but only barely stayed out of striking distance from Feng Qiuyan. If it was purely a competition of skills, Zhou Wen wouldn't even have the chance to counterattack.

"Hold on." Zhou Wen suddenly shouted to stop Feng Qiuyan from continuing his attack.

"Coach, what's the matter?" Feng Qiuyan stopped and asked.

"You've slashed twenty-three times since the beginning. Even if each strike only consumes one Primordial Energy point, your Primordial Energy should have been depleted. How can you still use your saber aura?" Zhou Wen asked Feng Qiuyan.

Furthermore, Feng Qiuyan's saber aura was so strong that it was impossible for him to only consume a bit of it.

Feng Qiuyan said, "This is because I've raised my Primordial Energy Skill, Rainbow-Startling Saber Aura, to Rank 10. After advancing to Rank 10, the Primordial Energy consumption is greatly reduced. In addition, my Life Providence and Primordial Energy Art augments my saber technique. It will further reduce the expenditure and accelerate the recovery of my Primordial Energy. Under normal circumstances, I can continuously slash out twenty-seven times before being completely drained of my Primordial Energy."

"Do all Primordial Energy Skills have such effects after reaching Rank 10?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.

"Regardless of which Primordial Energy Skill it is, there will be a qualitative leap when it reaches Rank 10. However, the effects might be different. Coach, don't you know?" Feng Qiuyan looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement. He believed that Zhou Wen definitely knew about this.

"I've never practiced Rainbow-Startling Saber Aura, so I didn't know of the effects when it reached Rank 10. I was just asking." Zhou Wen thought of his Ashen Palm. Although it was only a Mortal-stage Primordial Energy Skill, it was abnormally powerful. It dealt quite a good deal of damage to Legendary creatures. Vigor Divine Fist, which was a Mortal stage skill, was already unsuited for him.

Astral Slash Blade and Astral Suction Palm don't have any ranks, so I'm afraid they can't be upgraded. Ashen Palm has already reached Rank 10, but it's a Mortal stage Primordial Energy Skill after all. Its might can't keep up with my current needs, so I'm not sure if there's any possibility of raising it. Zhou Wen decided to use his Ashen Palm to battle Feng Qiuyan.

However, he soon discovered that Feng Qiuyan's technique was much more skilled than his. Soon, Zhou Wen was at a disadvantage. All he could do was use Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to dodge, making it difficult for him to find a chance to counterattack.

Feng Qiuyan's saber techniques were getting faster and more stable. Even without the aid of the saber auras, he still possessed extremely lethal force.

Chapter 170 Epiphany In Battle

Typically, someone at the Legendary stage had Speed that maxed out at 18. Now, the Speed of Feng Qiuyan's saber techniques was probably at 28, much less 18. It was getting faster and faster.

If one's Speed exceeded the user's control limit, causing their reaction to not keep up, it would easily reveal flaws.

However, Feng Qiuyan's saber technique was as steady as a mountain. No matter how fast his saber was, he could control it freely without any signs of losing control after increasing his Speed.

Zhou Wen had to admit that Feng Qiuyan was indeed very mighty. He was practically a genius born for sabers. If Zhou Wen hadn't fought desperately in-game to exchange for plenty of combat experience, a Legendary student with similar attributes as Zhou Wen would easily have been slain by Feng Qiuyan.

From the looks of it, combat techniques are equally important. Primordial Energy Skills also need to be upgraded to Rank 10. Zhou Wen had already discovered his inadequacies.

He had learned quite a number of Primordial Energy Skills, but he didn't really have many useful ones. Astral Suction Palm and Astral Slash Blade were very useful, but they drained Primordial Energy exceedingly fast, depleting him almost instantly.

Ashen Palm at the Mortal stage was already somewhat unable to keep up with his pace. The Legendary Golden Palm was only at Rank

After some thought, other than Dragon Gate Fairy Skill, Zhou Wen didn't seem to have any useful techniques.

At the very least, when facing an expert like Feng Qiuyan, ordinary Primordial Energy Skills were useless.

Zhou Wen decided not to counterattack. Instead, he switched his Primordial Energy Art, giving himself a Dao Body. He used it to rapidly recover his Primordial Energy, constantly using Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to deal with Feng Qiuyan.

Even so, Zhou Wen still found it harder and harder. Feng Qiuyan's saber techniques seemed to be able to increase his saber's speed without limit, and each strike was faster than the last, as though there was no limit.

There was no limit to his saber speed, but Zhou Wen's movement only had one speed. He was gradually unable to dodge Feng Qiuyan's saber.

A glint flashed in Feng Qiuyan's eyes as though he had already noticed Zhou Wen at his limit. He remained unwavering as a mountain as he slashed out with both hands.

This strike seemed to split a mountain apart as it seemed indomitable. It moved as fast as thunder as it tore through the air, ignoring all its resistance. With a whine that sliced through the air, it slashed right in front of Zhou Wen.

With Zhou Wen's current speed, it was impossible for him to dodge the attack.

However, Zhou Wen didn't show any signs of panic. His eyes were calm as the entire world seemed to slow down before him. He tapped his toes on the ground gently as his body rode the wind and retreated. He didn't look as fast as before, but Feng Qiuyan's saber aura remained three inches away from Zhou Wen's clothes. No matter how he tried, he couldn't get close.

The alacrity version of raising a weighted feather? Feng Qiuyan's eyes were filled with excitement as he brandished the saber repeatedly with both hands. The saber aura was like a raging tidal wave as it swept towards Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen felt a sense of calm. In the middle of the battle, he had also gained insight into the concept of raising a weighted feather for the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill, pushing it towards Rank 10.

Dragon Gate Fairy Skill at Rank 10 not only augmented Zhou Wen with greater Speed, but it also increased his ability to stay in midair. It also greatly reduced his Primordial Energy expenditure.

There were other miraculous aspects that couldn't be explained in a few words.

Just speed alone was inadequate to match Feng Qiuyan. After all, the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill had its limits, but Feng Qiuyan's saber speed seemed to lack any.

At the same realm of raising a weighted feather, Feng Qiuyan's saber quickly caught up to Zhou Wen who was in midair.

Just as he was about to strike Zhou Wen, Feng Qiuyan was suddenly taken aback. This was because Zhou Wen's figure suddenly became light. It was as though he was weightless. As he rapidly plummeted, it was as though he had opened a parachute, making his body feel like it was rising instead.

This change in speed made Feng Qiuyan show an error in judgment. The saber slashed the area beneath Zhou Wen's feet, failing to touch him.

Zhou Wen danced in the air like a fairy, but in the next second, his speed suddenly increased. He grabbed the moment Feng Qiuyan made the mistake, and like a bolt of lightning, struck Feng Qiuyan's head.

Feng Qiuyan's saber had lost its force, but his momentum continued propelling his body forward. He was already unable to dodge Zhou Wen's strike.

Feng Qiuyan was decisive as he threw his saber and turned to his side to dodge Zhou Wen's strike. At the same time, he turned around and brushed past him. With a flip of his hand, he grabbed the saber in midair and slashed it at Zhou Wen. Then, using the spin he generated that boosted his waist, he slashed at Zhou Wen.

In midair, Zhou Wen's figure once again became lightweight, causing Feng Qiuyan to make a mistake in his judgment once more. He struck the empty air again.

This time, Feng Qiuyan didn't pursue him as he stared at Zhou Wen with a glint in his eyes. "As expected of Coach. That was the counter version of raising a weighted feather, wasn't it?"

Zhou Wen nodded. "Raising a weighted feather and raising a feather weight. By combining them, it's similar to a technique that mixes truths and bluffs. It's just a small trick."

"It sounds easy, but it's very difficult in practice. Coach, you've taught me something new again today. I know what to do next. Till next time." Feng Qiuyan turned around and left without any hesitation.

This Feng Qiuyan sure is terrifying. If I hadn't reached Rank 10 for the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill, I probably would have been defeated. Ignoring the special physiques and Primordial Energy Arts, Feng Qiuyan is much more terrifying than John. Zhou Wen was in a good mood. He had raised the Dragon Gate Fairy Skill to Rank 10, greatly strengthening his combat strength. Furthermore, he had found his weakness in today's battle, giving him direction for improvement.

It's important to increase my level, but my techniques and skills mustn't fall behind. After all, no matter how powerful one is, it requires powerful skills to fully deliver one's greatest strength. Zhou Wen pondered over what skills he should practice.

There were too many skills in the world. There were sabers, swords, staffs, spears, whips, axes, hooks, forks and all sorts of other weapons that had skills that matched them.

It was likewise with feet, fists, fingers, palms, and legs. All of them had different skills. A person's time and energy were ultimately limited. Although Zhou Wen was talented and could master everything quickly, being adept at one type of skill was much easier to reach the sublime realm than training in everything.

Furthermore, Zhou Wen still needed to take time to raise the few Primordial Energy Skills that were more suitable for him at Rank 10. He also needed to spend time gaming to have more high-level crystals drop. He really didn't have that much time to master them all.

After some thought, Zhou Wen came up with a perfect plan that killed two birds with one stone. It would be a waste of time to train in weapons while raising the rank of his Primordial Energy Skills.

Therefore, Zhou Wen decided to hone his palm skills before matching it with his Ashen Palm. With his Dao Body rapidly recovering his Primordial Energy, Zhou Wen felt that he could do both.

Since ordinary Primordial Energy Skills can be raised to Rank 10, why can't I raise my Mortal stage Primordial Energy Skill to the Legendary stage? Zhou Wen made up his mind to practice Ashen Palm.
