Chapter 186 Finals
"Is there something you need, Divine Messenger?" Tang Tianxun asked.
The divine messenger said calmly, "Let's make another bet. Zang Yu wins, and the Azure Dragon Divine Stele will be returned to the temple next year."
"What other bargaining chips does the divine messenger have?"
"One thousand Bodhi Pills."
"Bodhi Pill?"
Tang Tianxun was greatly surprised.
"Not bad, how about it?"
"The Azure Dragon Divine Stele is in your hands only to be used to comprehend the power of the divine soul in order to break through the seventh realm."
"Last year, the Great Xia Dynasty only had 500 people who broke through to the seventh realm using the Azure Dragon Divine Stele. These 1,000 Bodhi Pills can double the number of people who break through to the seventh realm."
Tang Tianxun narrowed his eyes. "How does the divine messenger know that the number of people in our Great Xia who have used the divine stele to break through to the seventh realm is only five hundred?"
"The Azure Dragon Divine Stele originally belonged to the temple, so I naturally know that."
"So, how about it, wanna bet?"
Tang Tianxun glanced at Lu Youlin, the Vice Minister of Education of the Extraordinary Education Department.
Lu Youlin immediately understood.
A drop of essence blood gathers at the fingertip, and the fingers dance.
The Azure Dragon Envoy remained expressionless, extending his left hand from his robe and flicking his finger.
An invisible force flew out and shot straight at Zang Yu on the arena.
Lu Youlin frowned, and half a minute later, he opened his eyes and shook his head slightly at Tang Tianxun.
Upon seeing this.
Tang Tianxun tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, lost in thought.
"Ning Xing, that's me."
Ning Xing was somewhat surprised to hear Tang Tianxun's voice in his mind.
"Old Tang?"
"Go ask Xiao Weiqing how confident he is in defeating Zang Yu. Never mind, I'll ask him myself."
On the arena.
Xiao Weiqing and Zang Yu stood there for several minutes.
Xiao Weiqing was a little annoyed. What was going on? Why was it taking so long to start again?
Could it be targeting him?
Otherwise, why would the game be delayed whenever he's involved?
Xiao Weiqing.
"Who?"
Xiao Weiqing was startled when he heard the aged voice in his ear.
"Wei Qing, this is the Prefect of Kyoto Prefecture, Elder Tang."
Hearing Ning Xing's voice, Xiao Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Tang, is there something you need?"
How confident are you of defeating Zang Yu?
Xiao Weiqing replied, "I haven't fought them, so it's hard to say."
"Then let's talk it out properly."
Ning Xing shouted, knowing full well the character of his disciple, but he didn't seem to care about the time.
Xiao Weiqing: "..."
"It's about 50/50."
Tang Tianxun said, "Defeat him and the reward will be doubled."
"Double the reward?"
"Um."
"Mr. Tang, do you mean if I defeat Zang Yu, I'll give him 2000 copies of Shenyun?"
"good."
Xiao Weiqing was overjoyed. "Old Tang, do you want it dead or alive?"
Tang Tianxun: "..."
"There are powerful figures in the Azure Dragon Academy; you can't kill him."
"Xiao Weiqing, I know you've already broken through, but don't underestimate Zang Yu. If you lose, you won't get the second-place reward either."
The sounds around me disappeared.
Xiao Weiqing suddenly looked up at Zang Yu, her eyes filled with joy.
He had already automatically filtered out what Tang Tianxun was about to say. All he knew now was that if he killed the guy in front of him, 1000 units of divine essence would become 2000 units.
Second place? 200 pieces of Shenyun, whoever wants them can have them.
"The match begins!"
"Boom~~"
Without any hesitation.
Xiao Weiqing entered his true form of Flame, and blazing flames enveloped the sky, enveloping him.
A fiery domain with a diameter of five zhang suddenly appeared, rushing towards Zang Yu like a natural disaster.
Within the fire domain.
Xiao Weiqing made a grasping motion with one hand, and the Thousand Flame Blade materialized in his grasp.
"cut!"
There were no tricks, or rather, any tricks were useless to Zang Yu and superfluous to Xiao Weiqing.
A powerful, sweeping strike cuts through the air with a whooshing sound.
Faced with such an attack.
Instead of retreating, Zang Yu advanced.
With his spiritual power unleashed, he stepped into Xiao Weiqing's fire domain.
The flames automatically avoided Zang Yu, creating a vacuum around him.
"when!"
The two blades collided.
"Hmph!~~"
Xiao Weiqing took a step back, and even with the mental shield, he still felt a surge of spiritual power rushing straight to his brow.
Although his mental strength was at a disadvantage, the powerful impact was still too much for Zang Yu to resist.
Zang Yu's eyes narrowed, and he pressed down on the back of the knife with his other hand. Even so, he was still forced to retreat repeatedly by the powerful force.
"Again!"
"cut!"
"Slay!~~"
Xiao Weiqing held the knife in both hands and slashed several times in a single second.
Zang Yu remained silent, neither dodging nor avoiding, and directly confronted the enemy with his sword.
Divine patterns appeared on the blade.
One.
Two paths.
The retreat only stopped when four divine runes surrounded the Soul Devourer.
Centered on the two, the aftershocks of the battle continued to fly in all directions, crashing against the energy shield maintained by the teachers, creating ripples like bombs hitting water, with energy waves spreading outwards.
"This thing only awakened last year?"
"Two monsters."
"Thankfully, the teachers maintained the energy shield, otherwise the aftershocks of the battle would have injured us."
"Zang Yu is incredibly strong. He fought head-on in Xiao Weiqing's fire domain. And he's a spiritual cultivator."
"Xiao Weiqing is really awesome. Zang Yu unleashed four divine runes just to barely block the attack. You should know that Xiao Weiqing's companion weapon doesn't have any divine runes."
On the arena.
Xiao Weiqing lowered his brows slightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared intently at Zang Yu, like a powerful, bloodthirsty beast eyeing its prey.
In contrast, Zang Yu remained expressionless, his cold eyes devoid of any life, like a venomous snake waiting for its chance to strike and deliver a fatal blow to its prey.
Mu Ran.
Flames resembling gold and silver emanated from Xiao Weiqing's body.
However, before Xiao Weiqing could make any other move.
Zang Yu moved first, his cold eyes slightly opening.
"Annihilation!"
"Bang!"
A hole was punched in the fire domain, and Zang Yu escaped outside of it.
"We've been discovered?"
"Is it like Luo Ziyuan's situation—that ranged attacks are difficult to execute?"
"Then let's keep it close to the body!"
Xiao Weiqing charged forward, brandishing his sword, and shouted in a low voice:
"Flame Dragon!"
Five golden dragons flew towards Zang Yu from different directions within the fiery domain, leaving him with no way to avoid them.
Zang Yu remained calm in the face of Xiao Weiqing and the five golden dragons who arrived at lightning speed.
He gently reversed the Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand, the tip of the blade against the arena, the back of the blade facing Xiao Weiqing.
"Ding~"
A crisp sound.
Centered on Zang Yu, an invisible yet terrifying force suddenly emanated.
"Coffin - Royal!"
"Boom~~"
"Boom!~~~"
The golden dragon crashed into Zang Yu, causing a violent explosion.
Xiao Weiqing followed closely behind, his Thousand Flame Blade wreathed in three flames, and slashed out fiercely!
A knife!
Two knives!
The Thousand Flame Blades were swung out one after another, but they could not hit Zang Yu, who was so close at hand.
The two were locked in a standoff once again.
Under Xiao Weiqing's perception, an invisible rectangular domain protected Zang Yu within it.
"Ugh~~"
Five golden dragons coiled around the spirit coffin, continuously compressing the space within Zang Yu.
Zang Yu did not sit idly by and wait for his death; his cold eyes suddenly widened.
"boom!"
A terrifying aura erupted from its tailbone, shaking the Fiery Dragon.
"Thump, thump, thump."
Xiao Weiqing retreated repeatedly, each step he took on the arena feeling like a thousand pounds of force.
"The Three Realms!!!"
Countless people in the audience stood up.
"What?"
"Holy crap, what did I just see?"
"Breaking through, absolutely breaking through."
"Zang Yu is at the third realm!"
"It's fake, isn't it?"
Zang Yu remained expressionless, holding the hilt of the knife, and turned it so that the blade was facing Xiao Weiqing.
He whispered:
"The Spirit Coffin—Suppress!"
The spirit coffin that was originally protecting Zang Yu instantly flipped over, surrounding Xiao Weiqing.
"open!"
Xiao Weiqing summoned the fire domain again, but it could only be maintained at a size of three meters square and could not break through the spirit coffin.
The coffin continued to compress, and Xiao Weiqing's space to move around became smaller.
Zang Yu began to speak:
"You are very strong, but this ends here!"
