Chapter 79: The True Disciple Appears

  "Does the loser take his own life?"

  Yu Qing's words made Zhen Yan suddenly stunned, her delicate face instantly lost its blood color, she stared wide-eyed and whispered in disbelief: "You hate me so much that you want me to die?"

  To be honest, Zhen Lan no matter how much resentment Yu Qing has, never thought of killing him, just thinking of constantly hitting him, retaliating against him, until the day he suddenly repents, apologizes to himself and yields to himself.

  But he, is actually so ruthless...

  Tears blurred her eyes uncontrollably, at this moment, a woman's heartbreaking voice was clearly audible to onlookers, but Yu Qing, the person involved, remained unmoved, with an iron heart, her resolute face showing only coldness and determination.

  Linglong, who was standing by, knew the most clearly that her brother had always been devoted to Taoism and had never been moved by any woman, nor had he ever expressed goodwill towards anyone of the opposite sex. Zhenlan's current situation was, in a way, half her own doing.

  It's okay to like someone else, but it's wrong to hate them just because they don't like you back, and from then on start an endless feud...

  However, as a girl, Linglong still had to show sympathy for Zhenlan, so she spoke softly and explained on behalf of her elder brother: "Zhenlan Shijie, Big Brother has devoted himself to the Tao, he once made a vow that until he reaches Yuanying, he will not form any emotional bonds."

  But at this moment, Zhen Lan was nowhere to be heard, her eyes filled with sorrow and despair, her voice hoarse as she spoke: "Fine! I'll fight you to the death today, only one of us can leave the Competition Peak!"

  As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked!

  Su Che, standing in the audience seat, also smiled bitterly in his heart: "Well, this way, I've become a spectator, and I don't know how to end today's situation..."

  In the demon prison, Lao Hei was watching the commotion with a grin, gnawing on a bright red fruit, and spluttering saliva as he commented: "Master, this Yu Qing Shixiong of yours is absolutely ruthless towards women, not lenient at all."

  "Not until the yuan infant, no emotional bond is formed..." Su Che thought to himself: "With such a resolute heart towards the Tao, in his eyes, men and women are all the same."

  As they spoke, Xuanji Yuqing once again demonstrated his resolute and decisive style of doing things, without any hesitation or beating around the bush. Not a single unnecessary word was spoken, he simply sprang into action, and with a swift motion, directly flew onto the competition stage.

  No need to say more, let's settle it on the competitive stage!

  Zhen Lan's heart was like a knife, her whole body swaying as if she was about to collapse, her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't speak clearly: "Good, good, good! Yu Qing, you're really ruthless..."

  A heartbroken woman, what's the point of winning or losing anymore? At this moment, she just wants to rush onto the stage and perish together with this ruthless man.

  Whoosh!

  Zhen Lan's figure had already flown into the air, with only one zhang left to fall onto the competition stage, when a clear and crisp shout came from behind: "Hold on!"

  Along with the sound, a white light also appeared, as fast as lightning, and in an instant, it fixed Zhen Lan in mid-air, suspending her motionless, completely losing her ability to move.

  As the crowd looked towards the entrance of the racing field, they saw a young woman walking calmly towards them, wearing a white dress, with an elegant and refined demeanor, like a fairy from a painting...

  No matter how beautiful her appearance is, what's most important is that there are three silver threads embroidered on the collar and cuffs of her clothes.

  Three silver threads, true transmission disciple! The entire Tianxuan Sect only has one hundred quotas for true transmission disciples, whose status is even higher than that of ordinary Golden Dan period elders.

  "Zhen Shifu!"

  Someone in the field let out an astonishing cry.

  In the Xianyu, Laohei immediately recited: "Zhen Zhen, one of the top ten true disciples of Tianwu Peak, with a wooden heavenly spirit root. He built his foundation at 24 and became a true disciple at 27. He can be called a genius... Master, don't be deceived by her appearance of being 18 or 19 years old. In fact, she is now 32 years old."

  Su Che smiled in his heart: "Alright, you're only thirty-two years old, can you be considered old? In the Cultivation Realm, only cultivation is discussed, who still cares about others' age."

  Xiao Gui laughed, Su Che also knew that today's scene was likely to be made a big deal of. With this one move, even the true disciples had come out. After a while, who knows, maybe even more exaggerated big shots would pop out!

  Another person followed 'Zhen Zhen' into the arena, surprisingly it was Tian Lufeng Hualu with a sly smile on his face. It seems that he arrived together with Zhen Zhen.

  "Second sister, don't stop me, I'm going all out with him!"

  Zhen Lan in mid-air was locked down by a jade ring-shaped magical treasure, her body unable to move, only able to speak with her mouth open, not even able to lift a finger.

  Zhen Zhen was already at the mid-stage of foundation building, and with just one move, she could bring out a high-grade spiritual artifact. Zhen Lan, who had achieved great perfection in her Qi cultivation, couldn't even withstand a single move from her second sister, and it could be said that she had almost no ability to resist.

  In other words, the Qi-refining stage can only be considered as an apprentice, and it is only after entering the Foundation Building period that one can be considered a true cultivator.

  The most fundamental difference is that during the Qi-gathering period, the energy inside the body of a practitioner still belongs to the gaseous form of True Qi; only after laying the foundation can it take shape as the substantial True Yuan.

  The power of true energy and true yuan is worlds apart.

  The fairy-like Zhen Zhen lightly waved her hand, and her own sister was suddenly brought before her eyes. She softly said to her, "Little sister, be obedient and listen, don't do anything foolish."

  Indeed, with the state of Xun Lan's eyes, going up to the competitive stage, she would not be able to hold out for a few moves and would lose to Yu Qing's hands, because she had already lost her calmness, and her heart was in great disorder.

  "Second sister..."

  Zhen Lan sobbed a few times, then nodded obediently. After all, she was one of the top ten figures on the Wind and Cloud List among the inner disciples, and even though her emotions were in turmoil, she still had some self-control.

  At this time, Yu Qing also jumped down from the stage.

  Zhen Zhen hugged her little sister and said to Qing Yu, "You're such a cruel person, how could you be so ruthless? If I hadn't arrived in time, would you have really let her die?"

  "I knew you were coming." Yu Qing smiled and replied.

  "Huh?"

  Zhen Lan's face still wet with tears suddenly lifted her head, and only then did she realize that this man was not intentionally trying to drive her to death, but had merely used some kind of trick.

  "I just wanted to stimulate her a bit, things will turn against each other when they reach the extreme, maybe she can think clearly about some things." As he said this, Yu Qing's gaze turned to Su Che: "It's fine that she always finds trouble for me, but she shouldn't involve innocent people in it."

  Everyone is a sensible person, so there's no need to say more. Zhen Zhen nodded slightly, she also felt that the way some things were handled, Xiao Mei's approach was lacking in dignity, and her thinking had already entered a dead end. Even if nothing happened now, she would still be ruined by emotions in the future, thus ending her promising career. If Yu Qing could find a way to give her a wake-up call or make her completely lose interest, it wouldn't be a bad thing either.

  With that, the situation suddenly returned to normal. However, with Zhen's arrival, there was no need to invite any judges or witnesses to testify, because the true heir's identity was more convincing than any judge on the competition stage.

  Yu Qing didn't express any opposition to this, because he thought that not inviting a judge would be even better. If Su Che lost, his identity token and jade card would be taken by Zhen Zhen, but Yu Qing could think of a way to get them back... In short, it was much better than having the judge handle the matter impartially.

  As for whether Zhen Zhen's judgment will be unfair, Yu Qing is even less worried about this. After all, this is a fair and open competition, under the eyes of everyone, even if Zhen Zhen has biases in his heart, he cannot openly cheat.

  "Then let's get started."

  With Zhenzhen's order, Su Che walked up the stairs step by step to the competition stage; however, Song Baozi and Jiang Chen of the opposing team had not yet decided who would go on stage first.

  This is because Su Che belongs to the one-to-two category, and in theory, he is at a disadvantage. In accordance with the principle of fairness, in this situation, it should be up to Su Che to decide which opponent to challenge first.

  Under the stage, Jiang Chen's body trembled, his face ashen, and he didn't dare to raise his head to meet Su Che's gaze. He wished he could find a seam in the ground to hide in. In his heart, he wailed: "It's over, it's over! This is the end! That damned guy, how did he manage to advance to the third layer of Qi Refining? Why am I still at the first layer...?"

  Su Che's eyes swept around, just about to designate his opponent to go on stage, when he heard a woman's whisper...

  "Su Che, I am Zhen Zhen. I have a request for you. Today's two battles, you can only win one. First, defeat Jiang, then lose to Song. One win and one loss, my sister and Yu Qing will both save face... Then, Yu Qing and I will help you change your identity, re-enter the sect, and continue to cultivate on Xuanji Peak. Moreover, I will also give you some compensation in other aspects... If you win both battles, you will completely lose my sister's face. From now on, I, Zhen Zhen, will make it difficult for you to take a step forward, making it impossible for you to stand firm in the sect. Believe me, I have this ability. Hope you choose carefully."

  First win over Chiang, then lose to Song, can't win both games?

  "This woman is indeed here to cause trouble, completely unfair."

  "Master, she is a true disciple, her status is higher than that of an ordinary Golden Elixir elder... it's not worth offending her for just one breath..." Old Black cautiously advised: "Why don't we take care of Jiang Chen first and get our revenge later? As for Song Baozi, we can deal with him another time. I reckon that after today, Zhen True and her sister will no longer bother with a useless person like Song Baozi."

  On the high platform, Su Che's expression was solemn, his eyes first fell on Jiang Chen's body, and then turned to Song Baozi's face...

  According to Zhenzhen's arrangement, the first match should be against Jiang Chen, and winning him is naturally no problem; in the second match, Song Baozi will be challenged again, and Su Che must lose.

  At this moment, even Lao Hei couldn't sense what kind of decision his master would make.

  PS: 'Love - Kiss' boss, your four update tickets are tempting, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get them. 12,000 words is really beyond my ability, sorry about that!
