Chapter Thirty-Six: You Are Not Benevolent, I Am Not Righteous

  Today's first update~~~

  Liu Sheng's long spear was shrouded in an endless killing aura, wrapping around his body as he charged forward. Meanwhile, Li Weiyi's long sword also emerged from its scabbard at this moment, emitting a clear hum. The sword's body glowed with a silver-white light.

  His body, however, seemed to be moving forward with a crooked and staggering gait, as if he were drunk.

  Although Li Weiwei was walking crookedly, his speed was extremely fast, and in his eyes, there was an unusual glow.

  "Devouring Soul Demon Body~~" Elder Shen exclaimed in surprise at a glance. With Li Wei's one move, he saw the category of his demon body. Among the 172 types of demon bodies, the Devouring Soul Demon Body ranked seventh, taking an extremely yin and gentle route, and was also considered an extremely powerful demon body.

  "At such a young age, he has already cultivated the Soul Devouring Demon Body to the fifth stage of the Divine Power level. Li Weiwei's talent is not bad." The horse elder sitting next to Shen Lao said, stroking his long beard and praising him.

  "Hmm, it seems that this time's Battle of the Geniuses has yielded quite a few good seeds. Just from the first round, we've already seen so many surprises. This Liu Sheng, I heard he cultivated his own domain at the Body Refining stage. His achievements will definitely not be inferior to ours in the future. If he encounters another good opportunity, I'm afraid that within a hundred years, he'll become a Golden Immortal."

  Two people chatted and laughed, but their eyes never left the competition arena.

  Zhao Sanli gazed at Li Weiyi, who was charging towards him with an unusual gait. He knew the ferocity of his opponent and was about to hold his knife horizontally in front of his chest, adopting a defensive stance. However, he did not expect Li Weiyi's sword to flash by, and as his eyes followed the light on the blade, they also met Li Weiyi's gaze in an instant.

  What a terrible pair of eyes, shining with an unusual light, at a glance, it makes him feel as if he is alone in the vast wilderness, empty and hollow in his heart, without any sense of dependence.

  A gentle breeze blowing in the air made his body tremble slightly.

  "Is it cold? Then let's hug."

  In Zhao Sanli's mind, he thought of this sentence, and he murmured in response. The long knife in his hand fell to the ground, and then, both hands were clasped in front of his chest.

  At that moment, he had a feeling of extreme danger.

  "Not good, this is an illusion." Zhao San's heart was awakened by this dangerous feeling. However, it was already too late, his right arm was pierced with a sharp pain, which made him extremely alert and he opened his eyes to look around.

  The long sword that was originally in Li Weiwei's hand had easily pierced through his arm and into his chest.

  Then, with a "bang" sound, his body floated up into mid-air.

  Zhao Sanli also realized at this moment that his journey of genius warfare had come to an end with Li Weili's kick.

  Li Weiwei kicked Zhao Sanli flying with one foot, and his body was like the wind, his footsteps didn't stop, and he immediately rushed towards the next target.

  "the second one"

  "The third..."

  Half an hour later, the first match ended.

  Li Weili defeated a total of fifty-eight people, the most among all.

  Liu Sheng, ranked second, defeated thirty-six people.

  Lin Ye and Liu Sheng both stood on the final trial stage, advancing simultaneously to the second phase.

  However, the protagonists of this first trial were Liu Sheng, a Tier 1 Domain Holder, and Li Weiyi, a Tier 5 Soul Devourer.

  The second match began soon. This time, Zhang Chong stood on the stage, alone in the second match without any other Longevity Sect disciples. As one of the few Body Refining Stage disciples, he became the focus of attention on the stage.

  After witnessing the cruel first trial, many people have discovered that the persimmon is soft to pinch. At this time, many people pretended to be casual and moved their steps lightly, but they were getting closer to Zhang.

  Zhang Chongdao was still standing there, seemingly nonchalant and unaware that he had already become a target in the eyes of others. Of course, those who were closing in on him were all second-rate strongmen; truly top-notch strongmen, who had absolute confidence in their ability to stay on stage, would not stoop to such things.

  "It doesn't matter, hiding from anyone is the same anyway." In Zhang Chong's heart, he was actually very grateful for these second-rate strongmen surrounding him. Because this way, it would separate him from the first-rate strongmen, and his goal was to escape in the first place. With these people, he had a much better chance of doing so.

  "Are you Zhang Chong, the direct disciple of Listening Wind? I am Liu Qingxue from the Qingyi Gate of Danyang." Just as he was standing there, planning his escape route, a soft and gentle voice came over.

  He looked back, and standing beside him was a woman wearing a purple shirt. The woman's appearance was not particularly elegant, but her eyes were full of charm, making people feel an inexplicable affection at first sight.

  Zhang Chong saw her say this, and also saw the eyes of Liu Qingxue, which seemed to include many words. However, his heart was only slightly touched, and then there were no other feelings. He chuckled and said,

  "It turns out we're from the same circle, so let's just take care of each other."

  "Of course, I'm not capable of much, Brother Zhang will have to help out a lot." Liu Qingxue bowed slightly and lifted her head again, revealing a pair of eyes as clear as autumn water, gazing at Zhang Chong. But in her heart, she was thinking resentfully...

  "This stinky little kid, looking so foolish, how can his determination be so astonishing? My move 'Fantasy Heart Technique' doesn't have the slightest effect on him." As she thought of this, her eyes never left Zhang Wuji's gaze.

  Zhang Chong didn't expect her to be so passionate, and for a moment he wondered if someone had written something on his face. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wipe his face, laughing as he said:

  "Alright, alright..."

  "The competition is about to begin!" With a loud shout, the crisp sound of the starting bell rang out.

  Just as the bell rang, a long whip quietly emerged from Liu Qingxue's sleeve and wrapped around Zhang Chong. The whip was like a snake, its movement swift as lightning, and since they were extremely close, it directly coiled around him.

  At first, others thought that Liu Qingxue and Zhang Chong were close friends when they saw them talking together, but they didn't expect her to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack. At such a short distance, many people thought it could be themselves, and it was hard to dodge this move.

  "Heh heh," the people who were just secretly envying Zhang's good fortune now sneered with malice.

  "You stinky brat, you really are a toad who wants to eat swan meat, this time you've bitten off more than you can chew."

  However, when the whip struck Zhang Chong's body, it did not wrap around him, but instead penetrated through in an inexplicable manner. At the same time, Zhang Chong's body lightly trembled and transformed into a residual image.

  Around this residual image, almost at the same time, four heavy silhouettes appeared and rushed out in four directions.

  "Split bodies~~~!" someone exclaimed, only when the speed reached its peak would so many split bodies appear. Could it be that this kid's speed was actually this fast?

  "No, it's a Shadow Token." Some sharp-eyed people looked out and realized that this was not the result of their own strength, but rather the effect of the paper token.

  What Zhang Chong used was indeed the "split shadow symbol". As soon as he came on stage, his thoughts were very clear and he wouldn't rely on anyone, let alone a woman he had just met for the first time. After struggling at the bottom of society for so many years, Zhang Chong naturally understood who was truly kind to him and who was just being polite.

  A smile can hide a knife, and this is the most frightening thing.

  As for Zhang Chong's attitude towards this kind of person, there is only one:

  If you are not benevolent, I am not righteous.

  He threw out the paper talismans he had bought earlier for research purposes like a string of firecrackers.

  Shadow symbol

  Dragon Seal

  Surging Golden Symbol

  Maze Rune

  Liu Qingxue did not expect that Zhang Chong would actually unfold his defense earlier than her, and after a moment of stunned silence, the front was already shrouded in thick fog.
