An Zhen Zhenjun was already aware of the new functions of the modified Qijue Fa Hai when the seven Nascent Soul cultivators from the artifact refinement department were working on its transformation.

In An Zhen Zhenjun’s opinion, recreating phenomena like the sun’s explosion and high temperatures using immortal techniques was not particularly surprising.

After all, the sun above Kunxu’s second level, an entity named Xúnrì Cūnwū, was created by Wanfa University.

Compared to Xúnrì Cūnwū, the immortal-grade sun in Zhang Yu’s hands was still far inferior.

If Xúnrì Cūnwū was a true sun, then Zhang Yu’s immortal-grade sun could only be described as a small fireball.

Although both fundamentally recreated the sun using immortal techniques, their power, sustainability, controllability, and range of influence differed by countless magnitudes. The technological content involved was naturally vastly different as well.

It was like how both a match and the military-grade cultivation method Dàrì Zhūxiàng could create fire, but the underlying principles and techniques required were vastly different.

However, An Zhen Zhenjun knew that some of the ideas for weaponizing the new Qijue Fa Hai to unleash an “11 is greater than 2” effect when linked with other military-grade artifacts had earned the praise of several Nascent Soul Zhenjun from the artifact refinement department.

But to An Zhen Zhenjun, none of these were the most important.

In contrast, Zhang Yu’s consistent display of high growth potential in battle after battle since the start of the Top Ten Leagues, and his demonstration of top university-level skill in today’s intense fight with Tiansheng Gong, showing some possibility of contending with Kuang Tianqing—this was what truly concerned An Zhen Zhenjun.

Because even a slight possibility could affect the school’s plans, draw the attention of the principal, and prompt actions from a Divine Transformation Shenjun.

And upon seeing Tian Yan Shenjun’s message, An Zhen Zhenjun realized his guess was correct.

“Is the principal planning to double down on Zhang Yu in the final week to see if Zhang Yu can contend with Kuang Tianqing?”

“Besides that, it should also be to confirm Zhang Yu’s choice of immortal sect cultivation method.”

“What if…” An Zhen Zhenjun thought to himself, “Even if there’s only a one-in-a-million chance, if Zhang Yu wins the championship, we need to prepare in advance.”

Various thoughts flashed through An Zhen Zhenjun’s mind. His gaze shifted, and his eye-fa hai turned to another battle of the day.

Although An Zhen Zhenjun believed the fight between Kuang Tianqing and Bai Zhenzhen would be uneventful, he still intended to use this battle to gather more intelligence on Kuang Tianqing.

But after his gaze turned to Bai Zhenzhen and Kuang Tianqing’s battlefield and he observed for a while, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

An Zhen Zhenjun mused, “Has the Samsara Group made its move?”

When Bai Zhenzhen and Kuang Tianqing entered the battlefield, neither of them made a move immediately.

Kuang Tianqing smiled sweetly at Bai Zhenzhen and said, “Originally, according to my plan, I should have refined you into a flying sword during the first team match to fight Dao Qiankun.”

Her hand brushed through her long hair, and she sighed, “But I didn’t expect Dao Qiankun to die, and yet you stand here, about to fight me in the semifinals.”

Bai Zhenzhen’s white-gold long hair fluttered wildly in the wind, like a burning platinum flame. She looked coldly at Kuang Tianqing and said, “Kuang Tianqing, I have you to thank.”

“If it weren’t for your actions in the first team match, which made me realize my incompetence and worthlessness, I would never have made such progress in the time since.”

“Haha.” Kuang Tianqing laughed, “Then after today’s battle, you will thank me even more.”

“Remember well everything I’m about to do to you.”

“Watch closely as I devour you.”

“It will be an unforgettable memory for you.”

Bai Zhenzhen flicked her sword finger lightly, and a flying sword slowly floated before her. She said indifferently, “Devour me?”

“Kuang Tianqing, in order to focus on the immortal path and bravely climb the peak of cultivation, I have been infertile for many years. Your methods are useless against me.”

Kuang Tianqing smiled slightly, spread her five fingers, and a crystalline substance rose from her palm—it was a Yangqi Fa Hai.

“Infertile?”

Kuang Tianqing said nonchalantly, “If mere infertility could counter all Dual Cultivation techniques, then you would be underestimating the Way of Dual Cultivation far too much.”

“A rootless person? Without weaknesses?”

Kuang Tianqing’s fingertip gently touched the Yangqi Fa Hai before her: “If you have no weaknesses, I will install weaknesses for you, and then devour you completely.”

“All the progress you’ve made in this period, all the power you’ve accumulated through continuous enlightenment in the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao during this time, I shall take it all.”

Bai Zhenzhen’s gaze sharpened, filled with killing intent as she looked at Kuang Tianqing: “If you can do it, then come and try.”

“Both internally and externally, I have been infertile for many years.”

“No matter how many weaknesses you can install for me, I can sever them all completely.”

As their conversation continued, both sides’ fighting intent soared, causing the spiritual energy in the atmosphere to boil even more, gradually condensing into raindrops.

The next moment, Bai Zhenzhen’s figure suddenly vanished, and invisible sword qi slashed towards Kuang Tianqing’s position.

In Kuang Tianqing’s eyes, although Bai Zhenzhen’s figure disappeared, the changes in airflow, ground vibrations, and spiritual energy flow caused by her high-speed movement—everything was clearly visible to Kuang Tianqing.

“Your abilities, I have already deciphered.”

“Under this motion model specifically built for you…”

“Bai Zhenzhen, you have nowhere to hide.”

With a loud boom, the forces of both sides collided violently, unleashing waves of energy.

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen stared unyieldingly at Kuang Tianqing, her eyes revealing the opponent’s true form, while the Fa Hai within her continuously purified spiritual energy, helping her resist the effects of illusion techniques.

Bai Zhenzhen: “Kuang Tianqing, throughout this journey, it’s not just you who has been improving.”

“Your Celestial Demon Illusion Body Technique is also ineffective against me.”

The two engaged in a fierce battle, with dozens of moves passing in an instant. Gradually, faint golden electric sparks began to appear in the air.

These were countless strands of Bai Zhenzhen’s hair floating in the atmosphere, gradually covering the battlefield.

From the moment they entered the battlefield, through their conversation, and during the series of fierce clashes, Bai Zhenzhen had been shedding her hair into the atmosphere.

And each strand of Bai Zhenzhen’s hair was a sword.

These hair-like swords, invisible to the naked eye, were now scattered across the battlefield, yet still under Bai Zhenzhen’s control, imbued with the sword qi she had infused.

Unknowingly, Kuang Tianqing was surrounded on all sides by countless strands of hair.

In a flash, streaks of sword qi shot out from the hair, causing Kuang Tianqing to be struck by several sword qi in an instant. Although the sword qi could not break through her Fa Hai, it made her movements appear a beat slower.

Kuang Tianqing chuckled, “Bai Zhenzhen, you don’t actually think such weak, such useless sword qi could hurt me, do you?”

Bai Zhenzhen said calmly, “This sword qi is indeed difficult to harm you, but it can affect your emotions.”

The sword qi Bai Zhenzhen left in her hair was from the Seven Emotions Sword Dao.

And the Seven Emotions Sword Dao could use sword qi to sever an opponent’s emotions, temporarily stripping them of various emotional changes like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

“Emotions are the source of human desires, a driving force, and a crucial factor in manipulating the body.”

“Without emotions, people become numb, sluggish, and… slow!”

As she spoke, countless strands of hair in the atmosphere erupted with surging electric light, which was Bai Zhenzhen’s thunder-attribute spiritual power.

Under the acceleration of this long-accumulated electric field, Bai Zhenzhen’s flying sword was like a bolt of lightning, streaking through the atmosphere amidst the dancing electric lights, directly piercing towards Kuang Tianqing’s glabella.

However, facing this thunderous strike, Kuang Tianqing stood still and dazed, as if her movements had indeed become numb and slow with the weakening of her emotions.

But just as the flying sword encroached inch by inch before Kuang Tianqing, inch by inch approaching her forehead,

The thoughts in Kuang Tianqing’s mind revolved even faster.

Under the high-speed operation of her brain, all speeds in the material world seemed incomparable, appearing like slow motion.

The Hatred Heart Art was activated!

This mental cultivation method, which refined the heart through hatred, was a technique Kuang Tianqing had diligently practiced since stepping onto the immortal path.

As countless deeply etched, hated-to-the-bone memories flashed through her mind, her spirit and brain, which had been numb due to weakened emotions, once again boiled over.

“Hatred is far more enduring and advantageous than any other emotions or thoughts of others.”

“Even if you can weaken all my other emotions, only hatred, only the hatred for my countless enemies and opponents, will always remain in my mind, pushing me forward relentlessly.”

“Bai Zhenzhen, your provocation against me before the start of the Top Ten Leagues, your resistance against me in the first team battle, all of it is recorded in my diary…”

Intense hatred propelled Kuang Tianqing’s body, making her react instinctively. The moment before the flying sword’s tip pierced her glabella, her body instantly activated the Celestial Demon Void Art, intending to transform into a phantom and retreat to the side.

But at that moment, amidst her lightning-fast thoughts, some unfamiliar memories continuously surfaced.

“This is…”

“The conflict between good and evil…”

“The great rise of the demonic path…”

In an instant, with the influx of a large number of unfamiliar memories, an unprecedented sense of bewilderment arose in Kuang Tianqing’s heart.

“Who is Kuang Tianqing?”

“Why am I here?”

“The world… why has it become like this?”

After bewilderment came extreme pain.

“Why have I become a woman?”

“Why? Why? Why must I engage in Dual Cultivation?!”

“I… why do I have to be tutored by eight Divine Transformation cultivators?!”

With immense heartache and unbearable stifling, like a flame igniting in the darkness, extreme rage filled Kuang Tianqing’s chest, making her furious, making her insane, making her want to destroy everything!

With a roar, Kuang Tianqing’s voice, transmitted through countless live broadcasts and numerous eye-fa hai, spread throughout the entire world.

“This world… it’s gone mad!!!”

As the thoughts in her mind surged violently, and with the immense pain and fury in her heart, Kuang Tianqing no longer had time to cast a Daoist spell to block Bai Zhenzhen’s sword.

With a soft *whoosh*, her body was instantly pierced by the sword light. (WX52info, for easy future reading, or search on Baidu to enter this site)
