Chapter 538: Chapter 480: Take Your Filthy Engineering Hands Off Her!
The message from the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch kept appearing in Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, flickering incessantly.
Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: Are you going to ask him personally?
Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: What’s the use of asking?
Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: When you want to ask, when you doubt the other person, it means you haven’t been changed, but the other person has been changed.
Bai Zhenzhen didn’t respond to the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, but allowed her figure to disappear amidst the swirling dust.
"That old man..."
Glancing at the messages reflected in her eyes, Bai Zhenzhen pouted and thought to herself, "Always using those old-fashioned thoughts to guess the mindset of a modern young person like me. No wonder your Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is going extinct."
Thinking of this, the image of Zhang Yu flashed through Bai Zhenzhen’s mind again.
The current Zhang Yu had truly embarked on the path of Dual Cultivation, which made him almost engage in a trade while conversing with Wen Wuya.
Even today, he kept thinking about borrowing the divine spirit root, but every time he thought about it, it was so on edge... Seems the idea of borrowing the spirit root is false, and seizing the chance to Dual Cultivate with me is true!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t help but sigh: "Yu Zi has really changed, no longer the same as in high school."
"Is it because the kid has grown up and is now on the path to his former dream?"
If Bai Zhenzhen’s understanding of Immortal Path cultivation had been uncertain before, now as a top student of Sky Sword University, she had a deep understanding of the paths of various immortal sects.
For instance, Dual Cultivation is just like sterile cultivation, a legitimate path, with institutions like Hehuan University specializing in it, being one of the top ten, truly a prestigious tradition.
It’s even more challenging than sterile cultivation, with higher Dao Heart requirements, a perilous path.
"Back in high school, Yu Zi lacked perseverance in this area and wasn’t talented enough. I always thought he wasn’t suited for this path, and I kept advising him to save enough money, not to get obsessed with self-study, and firmly pursue sterile cultivation."
"Unexpectedly, I underestimated him."
Looking at the present Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen felt like she was seeing a mischievous kid obsessed with self-study growing up and excelling at Hehuan University, proud and triumphant.
"Since he is now on the right track and has achieved success on this path, I should support him."
But thinking of her Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, Bai Zhenzhen’s expression darkened again.
"Yu Zi has already set foot on the righteous path, while I seem to be straying further down the wicked path."
"If things continue this way, not only will I not be able to maintain the number one position with Yu Zi, but it might also be hard to remain companions."
Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen showed a hint of helplessness on her face: "Should I ask Zhang Yu to withdraw from the Dual Cultivation world? To give up his work at the dark artifact laboratory?"
"How is that possible?"
"I, who have strayed from the path, have no qualification to ask Zhang Yu to give up a legitimate job that has achieved success."
With this thought, Bai Zhenzhen gradually made up her mind: "There is only one way."
"Just one way."
"Turn back from the wrong path, find a way to step out from Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, and walk the Dual Cultivation path with Zhang Yu in the future."
However, Bai Zhenzhen also understood that this path wasn’t so easy to tread, it might even be a dead end, especially since her mentor, the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, currently wouldn’t easily agree.
"This matter needs careful planning..."
Temporarily suppressing her thoughts, Bai Zhenzhen followed the instructions left by Zhang Yu before they parted, traversing through the dust toward the depths of the battlefield.
At this moment, the entire battlefield, after the fierce battle between both sides, was in chaos, like it had experienced earthquakes time and again, with large pits, crevices, and raised hills everywhere.
In the next moment, Bai Zhenzhen felt the ground beneath her feet soften, as a force dragged her underground.
She knew this was Zhang Yu guiding her with the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, hence didn’t resist, allowing him to pull her into the depths of the earth.
When she saw the familiar figure deep underground, Bai Zhenzhen said, "Yu Zi..."
No reply was given, Zhang Yu simply held Bai Zhenzhen tightly.
Feeling the firmness of the other person, Bai Zhenzhen quickly said, "It’s not possible, Yu Zi. Even though we’re underground and your array screens it off, it might still not be enough..."
We can’t Dual Cultivate here! We might be seen by the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch!
There’s nothing wrong with Dual Cultivation itself, but if it’s with Zhang Yu, who’s fully committed to the Dual Cultivation path... the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch might think Zhang Yu is hindering my cultivation in Extreme Emotion Sword Dao and bankrupt you!
But without giving Bai Zhenzhen the chance to further ponder or articulate these words, Zhang Yu just gently said, "It’s here."
Bai Zhenzhen was slightly stunned, unsure of what he meant by "it’s here," when she suddenly sensed a change occurring in the Spirit Realm above.
A Magic Treasure named Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower descended upon the audience, and the voice of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch gradually sounded: "My... experiment has broken through?"
"This concerns experimental data on our side, please do not spread it around recklessly."
Simultaneously, under the suppression of Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower, the surrounding Spirit Realm seemed to have temporarily stagnated at this moment.
And at the same time as the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower temporarily closed off the Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu held Bai Zhenzhen even tighter, pressing against her closely.
In the next moment, Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes widened abruptly in disbelief as she looked at Zhang Yu.
It’s here!
Something has come in!
Divine Spirit Root?!
It’s a Divine Spirit Root just like mine!?
Zhang Yu actually has it?
He actually gave this to me directly?
In an instant, Bai Zhenzhen felt the spiritual roots of both parties connect, as if merged into one, like a single spirit root, finally taking root in her Dantian.
And with the close connection between the two spirit roots, a marvelous transformation was born between them!
What made Zhang Yu relieved was that the imagined loss of control and rampage of the spirit roots did not occur; they remained in a concealed state, sparing him the need to use the Dao Seed Manual from Yu Shu to swap out his Azure Lotus Sword Embryo’s spirit root.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Is it because of the replication? There are actually two"
Looking at Bai Zhenzhen, whose mouth was agape and eyes wide open, Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Isn’t it awesome?"
"Aren’t you shocked?"
"Isn’t it badass?"
Seeing Zhang Yu’s smug face, Bai Zhenzhen bit her lip, then glared fiercely at him, "Zhang Yu, you’ve ruined me!"
Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "Huh?"
Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself: "Extreme Emotion Sword Dao cultivation has skyrocketed..."
She opened her mouth and muttered, "I’m going down the wicked path, never to return."
...
Just moments ago.
Outside the competition.
Su YanYang, Shi Huaiyu, and others walked out.
Shi Huaiyu asked, "Where is Zhang Yu?"
Su YanYang casually said, "He said he had a magic treasure left in the arena, and he needs to stay behind to find it."
Xiao Yun Ji said excitedly, "With this victory, we’re closer to the finals now."
"Especially since Zhang Yu’s Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power reached level 18; we have a good chance of making it to the end of the loser’s bracket!"
Looking at the exhilarated teammates beside him, Su YanYang felt somewhat indifferent and began to envy Zhang Yu.
"Sigh, upgrading the cultivation technique by 8 levels through an experimentation... that’s truly gratifying."
"But I don’t need to do much, just follow Zhang Yu and keep winning, which isn’t so bad."
At this time, Wanfa University’s members encountered Yue Guanqiong and others who were also leaving.
Yue Guanqiong and others had grim expressions, each looking as if they were deep in debt.
Seeing Su YanYang and the group, Yue Guanqiong immediately said, "Where’s Zhang Yu?"
"He destroyed so many flying swords, he should compensate us."
Mo Enting commented in the competition group: Look, last year they tried to extort me the same way.
As the two sides conversed, a projection of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch suddenly descended. The Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower appeared amidst a glow, visible to all.
The Magnetic Pole True Monarch scanned the audience, and his gaze passed over the message Zhang Yu sent him.
Zhang Yu: Teacher, my Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power has broken through again.
Zhang Yu: But since entering Sky Sword University, I always felt someone was spying on me.
Zhang Yu: I’m afraid someone covets the experimental results and might jeopardize me after the competition.
The next moment, a sword shadow emerged opposite the Magnetic Pole True Monarch, saying blandly, "Magnetic Pole, this is Sky Sword University, not Wanfa University, it’s not your place to seal the Spirit Realm."
As the sword shadow danced in the Spirit Realm, the realm, which had briefly stalled due to the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower, revitalized once more.
The Magnetic Pole True Monarch was unperturbed, as she wasn’t truly there to wage war against Sky Sword University.
Her projection, paired with the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower overseeing the arena, was sufficient to thwart Sky Sword University’s attempt to forcibly spy on Zhang Yu.
"Unless they want to confront me directly."
With a cold snort, the Magnetic Pole True Monarch focused on the arena, saying indifferently, "I’m just seeking our Wanfa University students, surely that’s permissible?"
After uttering these words, a talisman flickered at her fingertip, and a gust of wind surged across the arena, dispersing the smoke and revealing two silhouettes.
As the smoke cleared, Zhang Yu was about to dodge aside when he found himself paused, with Bai Zhenzhen tightly clutching his hand.
"Azhen?" He turned his head, looking at Bai Zhenzhen in surprise.
Meanwhile, outside the arena, Yue Guanqiong and others were still demanding compensation for the flying swords from Wanfa University.
Upon seeing Zhang Yu leading Bai Zhenzhen out of the arena, the Sky Sword University students were taken aback, voices arising in their hearts.
"Bai... Bai Zhenzhen!"
"Why? Why is Bai Zhenzhen appearing here?"
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Our Sky Sword University’s distinguished Divinity Transformation disciple, the ace of the flying sword department! Why is she holding hands with Zhang Yu, a mere civil engineer!"
At the next moment, with Wen Wuya’s light chuckle, he arrived beside Zhang Yu. Yue Guanqiong only felt his vision darken, murmuring internally: "This world... has gone mad!!"
