Chapter 36: The Upright Xuanyuan Cheng
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
An Lin was a very kind-hearted youth. He understood Zhou Qingyun’s feelings and also knew of the pain that he was enduring.
Thus, he walked beside Zhou Qingyun and with a soft and gentle expression, held and raised his sword-wielding hand.
Just like that, Zhou Qingyun’s hand moved along with An Lin’s and the sword in his hand lightly stabbed at An Lin’s knee.
“See? I’ve helped fulfill your wish. You’ve successfully thrust your sword!”
An Lin looked at Zhou Qingyun sincerely.
Tears burst out from Zhou Qingyun’s eyes. “An Lin, I’ll definitely pay you a visit to express my gratitude (and stab you to death, you little f*ck)!” he said shakily.
An Lin shook his head. “It’s nothing much, don’t mention it.”
Zhou Qingyun also shook his head earnestly. “I’ll definitely return the favor many times over (you can’t escape)!”
An Lin sighed softly. He didn’t say anything more as he proceeded to use his fists of love on Zhou Qingyun…
…
The battle between An Lin and Zhou Qingyun was displayed on the crystal screen.
Tens of thousands of students were deeply touched by their actions.
“That was such a touching battle between brothers!”
“I know right. Both the gentle look in An Lin’s eyes and the masculine tears of Zhou Qingyun stirred up my emotions!”
“This is brotherly affection!”
“Nonsense! This is clearly love!” a girl protested.
It must be mentioned that from this day onwards, the battle between An Lin and Zhou Qingyun spread throughout The United University of Cultivation and became a much-told tale.
…
After defeating Zhou Qingyun, An Lin flew off on his dog and headed towards the Immortal King Peak.
The boundaries were continuously shrinking now, and it was said that they would eventually shrink to an area of just three square miles. This was forcing them to battle!
…
Elsewhere in the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, there were two people facing off against one another.
A black-clothed male held a dragon-patterned spear in his hand, and his presence was domineering. He exuded an aura which felt as if he was superior to the heavens.
His talent was unsurpassed and his strength was unrivaled amongst the younger generation.
He was the target that all students of the university strived towards. He was the current head of the Immortal Rankings Board—Wang Xuanzhan!
Who was it that had the strength to face off against him?
Standing opposite of Wang Xuanzhan was a youth with an extremely fine and delicate face.
His eyes were especially pure and it was as if they were already free from the filth of this world.
His presence was subdued as he stood there and it was as if he barely existed. He was like a rock, a grain of sand, forgotten by passers-by after a single glance.
An Lin had seen this youth before… He was called Chen Chen.
This was Chen Chen, whose rank had stagnated at the Eighth Stage Dao Body ever since he entered this university.
“Chen Chen, you won’t be able to escape this time!” Wang Xuanzhan’s eyes were ablaze as he looked at Chen Chen.
Looking at the talented male in front of him, Chen Chen sighed softly. “Without them even realizing it, I’m gradually forgotten by other people. However, your impression of me only becomes more and more profound…
“You cling to this too strongly. At this rate, I’ll become your mental demon…”
A mighty aura erupted from Wang Xuanzhan’s body and his battle intent raged. “Chen Chen, ever since I entered this university, only you have received a True God’s letter of recommendation just as I did. I’ve wanted to see which of us is stronger for a long time.
“I know that you definitely aren’t weak. Yet, you avoid battle time and time again. This is already my last chance.
“You’re the only opponent that I have yet to defeat. The more I’m unable to fight against you, the more I want to see which of us is stronger!”
“If I’m unable to defeat you, I’ll feel ashamed to be standing atop the Immortal Rankings Board!
“You’ve already become my mental demon. Thus, I must grab this chance and defeat you.
“Only then can I rid myself of this mental demon!”
Listening to Wang Xuanzhan harp on, a strange expression appeared on Chen Chen’s delicate face. “Wang Xuanzhan, is your zodiac sign Virgo?”
“What?” Wang Xuanzhan said in confusion.
“Ah… Your mortal studies isn’t up to scratch,” Chen Chen sighed.
Wang Xuanzhan: “???”
“I don’t want to fight no matter what. If I’m your mental demon, then please resolve it through other means. My apologies.” Chen Chen shook his head and was about to leave.
…
At this moment, on the White Jade Plaza.
Wang Xuanzhan’s battle had attracted the attention of most students.
“Do you think Wang Xuanzhan will be able to fight with Chen Chen this time around?”
“Who’s Chen Chen… Oh, the one facing off against him is Chen Chen. I almost forgot about him!”
“What you should be asking is, how long is it before Chen Chen can escape from the palm of Wang Xuanzhan’s hands?”
“That’s right! Chen Chen has all types of strange escape techniques. His title as the university’s strongest escapee isn’t just for show!”
“M-hm… that makes sense. After all, he’s already escaped three times, taking just an instant each time. Wang Xuanzhan can’t do anything about him!”
“Maybe Wang Xuanzhan has something up his sleeve this time?”
“Every time he attends the free-for-all battle event, Wang Xuanzhan says that he has something up his sleeve to target Chen Chen. Have you ever seen him succeed?”
“That…”
On the plaza, students were engaged in heated conversations. Within the Forest of One-Thousand Peaks, the battle was about to erupt any second now.
“Chen Chen, I’ve successfully mastered the White Dragon Spear Intent already. You have no chance to escape!”
Wang Xuanzhan could tell that Chen Chen wanted to leave, so he fully released his aura in this instant. A white ray of light shone brilliantly on his spear and it was like a dragon as he thrust it outwards, cutting off Chen Chen’s escape route.
Right at this moment, a male clothed in white flew over on his sword, becoming a streak of white and landing right in front of Chen Chen.
“Who are you?! Why are you obstructing the battle between Chen Chen and I?!”
Wang Xuanzhan was extremely displeased with this unexpected visitor.
“I’m First-year, Class One’s Xuanyuan Cheng.” The male was extremely elegant, and he saluted gracefully before introducing himself.
“You’re Xuanyuan Cheng?” Wang Xuanzhan narrowed his eyes and his expression eased a little. “Although you’re also extremely talented, you still shouldn’t stick your nose into other peoples’ battles. If you want to fight me, wait until I finish dealing with Chen Chen!”
Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head softly. “The reason I came here was to stop this battle between you and Senior Chen.”
Anger bubbled inside Wang Xuanzhan as he heard this. “What’s our battle have to do with you?!”
“Senior Wang has a rank of Spirit Nurturing Final Stage. Yet, he wants to fight against Senior Chen, who only has a rank of Eighth Stage Dao Body. I can’t stand by idly and watch this unfold.”
Hearing this, Wang Xuanzhan became even more furious. “We’re supposed to freely choose our opponents in this free-for-all battle event. What are you doing meddling in other people’s business?!”
“When a large gap exists between the two parties, it is likely that the weaker of the two will suffer great damage. Lives have even been lost. It is our duty to protect the weak!” Xuanyuan Cheng frowned.
“Weaklings aren’t fit to survive in this world. Yet, it is exactly due to this that we have more reasons to give them a chance, a chance for them to grow stronger!”
Wang Xuanzhan grimaced.?Where do Xuanyuan Cheng’s theories all come from?he thought to himself.
Fury welled up in his chest. “Chen Chen is concealing his true strength, he’s a powerful individual!” he continued, forcefully suppressing his anger.
“Then, does Senior Wang know what Senior Chen’s true rank is?” Xuanyuan Cheng asked.
“That…” Wang Xuanzhan had never fought against Chen Chen before. How could he know what his true strength was?
Seeing Wang Xuanzhan’s hesitation, Xuanyuan Cheng knew that he had made the correct decision. “If Senior Chen truly is of the Eighth Stage Dao Body, then wouldn’t he be faced with great danger against you? Senior Wang, why bother?” he persuaded with a warm and gentle expression on his face.
“Are you going to move aside or not?” Wang Xuanzhan glared at him furiously.
He truly could not understand why the male in front of him was so nosy and talkative…
An indescribable irritation and rage was about to erupt from his chest.
“No,” Xuanyuan Cheng replied with a look of determination.
Just like that, Wang Xuanzhan finally erupted…
“What audacity! I’ve f*cking had enough of your sh*t!
“Eat my spear!”
As Wang Xuanzhan’s spear stabbed furiously towards Xuanyuan Cheng, it transformed into an azure dragon which roared at the heavens!
