Heavy snow was falling.
On the vast, white earth.
A man in white was standing in the heavy snow, waiting for someone.
Whew~ Whew~
The howling wind kept swirling the snow upwards.
"Are you here?"
"The Child of Destiny?"
The Su Family Saint Son narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of light swirling around his fingers.
A dark shadow descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Like a meteorite.
The roar of dawn resounded across the sky.
Boom!
A giant crater hundreds of meters long appeared.
Li Chen emerged from the smoke and looked at the man in front of him. It seemed that the man had known all along that he was coming to find him.
"The Su Family Saint Son..."
The two looked at each other without saying a word.
They didn't take any action.
All that remained was the howling wind and the fluttering snowflakes.
The Su Family Saint Son, with his hands clasped behind his back and a deep gaze, said, "I have long heard of the Child of Destiny, Li Chen."
"Hmm?" Li Chen frowned slightly. How did this person know that he was the Child of Destiny?
Even Su Zhe and the others didn't know that very few people knew this title; it was less than a handful.
How did he know that?
The Su Family Saint Son slightly raised his head and looked up at the sky, where he saw the passage they had broken through in the Secret Realm.
Clearly, the group from the Imperial Capital entered the Secret Realm from here.
But what did he mean?
Li Chen was filled with doubt.
The Academy Tournament seemed to have lost its flavor; after dealing with the Shi Family Saint Son, these Holy Sons from the Imperial Capital seemed to have lost their will to fight.
Aside from the Shi Family Saint Son.
The Su Family Saint Son did not change much in expression. Suddenly, his body quickly floated up, transforming into a long rainbow and entering the passage. He gave Li Chen a deep look in his eyes.
Li Chen frowned and followed.
Not long after the two left, figures appeared from all directions.
Demon Buddha and Su Zhe, their Mo Hen treading through the snow.
Jianping, along with the Daoist Family Saint Son, the Fox Family Saintess, and Ji Shao, arrived at this place carrying the unconscious Ji Yuzhao and Ji Mumu.
As for Su Xian, the Shi Family Saint Son, and Cang Yue, they have all disappeared without a trace.
The meeting between the two sides was somewhat awkward.
Su Zhe was the first to step forward, shouting, "This bald man is my hostage!"
"Put your Jianping!!"
"I'll let this bald guy go!"
"Jianping harms even a single hair on my head, I'll kill the ticket!"
The Demon Buddha stood behind the two, chanting Buddhist scriptures, but veins seemed to appear on his smooth forehead.
The Daoist Family Saint Son turned to look at Jianping and smiled, "It seems you've indeed made some good friends."
Jianping rarely showed a smile.
Yes, he chose Canglan not only for his own goals, but also to make many friends during this time.
However, the situation now seems to have become more complicated.
He nodded slightly to the Daoist Family Saint Son, then took a step forward and his figure flew swiftly away.
"Hey!" The Fox Family Saintess looked at Jianping Pingfei with some displeasure.
The Daoist Family Saint Son patted his hand and said, "Next time, I'll let you fight back."
The Fox Family Saintess snorted coldly and turned her head away.
Not far away.
When Su Zhe saw Jianping return, he gave Mu Hen a meaningful look.
Mu Hen immediately understood and summoned the Tomb People.
They took out the Demon Buddha's weapon.
Su Zhe had a slight smile on his face, but it looked a bit cheeky.
"Buddhist Family Saint Son, why don't you sell this weapon to me?"
"I'll take it for ten million."
The Demon Buddha ignored him, not even opening his eyes.
Su Zhe gritted his teeth and said, "How about twenty million?"
Mu Hen held the Vajra Pestle, opened his mouth in disbelief, and thought, "This thing is worth so much money?"
This Buddhist Family Saint Son is throwing around 20 million yuan at other contestants?
It turns out that Buddhist Families are not short of money...
This is the truth that Mu Hen finally realized.
The Demon Buddha opened his eyes and laughed, "Benefactor, this magical artifact is a sacred relic of our Buddhist Family and cannot be sold."
"This humble Daoist priest cannot allow such a sacred artifact to fall into the hands of the mortal world."
Su Zhe sighed and tossed the Vajra Pestle to the Demon Buddha.
"What a bald monk!"
"You stingy person!"
The Demon Buddha took the Vajra Pestle, and his figure swiftly transformed into a purple rainbow and disappeared.
Mu Hen looked towards the Imperial Capital Team in the distance.
With the addition of the Demon Buddha, their team now appears to consist of only three people, with another person still not far away in Ji Shao's hands.
How did their team suddenly become like this?
At this moment, Jianping had already reached the sky and landed.
He looked at the two of them, nodded, and said, "The final is about to begin."
"The map has already been taken to the next level by the Su Family Saint Son."
Li Chen followed him inside.
Su Zhe looked at the huge hole in the sky and asked, "Aren't we going to go?"
Jianping shook his head and said, "There's no need to go. The Daoist Family Saint Son's intention is that if we make a move, we'll go to war."
"So, the Holy Son over there wants the battle between Li Chen and the Su Family Saint Son to decide the victor?" Mu Hen stroked his chin.
Jianping nodded.
Su Zhe's lips twitched slightly. So, they were now all just spectators, waiting for the result?
What about Su Xian?
How come he didn't see it?
Could it be that they have already been defeated by the Su Family Saint Son?
You must know that Su Xian's opponent is the Su Family Saint Son, and now that he's disappeared, he can't possibly have simply vanished, can he?
Suddenly, a whooshing sound came.
Ji Shao wrapped her arms around Ji Mumu and Ji Yuzhao, glaring angrily at the group.
"They've all seen me, aren't they going to come and help me out?"
"Do you want to accept Su Xian's fate?"
Su Zhe whispered, "We can't help either... None of us can fly... How can we help?"
Mu Hen nodded.
Jianping: (￣口￣)!!
Indeed, none of the three of them can fly.
Those that could fly had already taken to the sky, leaving the three of them on the ground to watch the show.
Ji Shao glared at Su Zhe, then casually placed the two people he was carrying on his waist on the ground.
With a wave of his hand, he lit the fire.
Su Zhe glanced at Ji Yushao and asked, "Is this girl the Ji Family Saintess?"
Ji Shao nodded, somewhat helplessly.
Although they did win, the woman fainted, which saved them a lot of trouble.
The only drawback is that it's unclear when she'll wake up, or whether she should be left to the holy sons of other families nearby.
Su Zhe gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister Ji Shao!"
"Directly challenge a saintess to a duel!"
"Unlike me and Mu Hen, we tricked that bald monk for ages before we even got a single weapon."
Ji Shao smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Mu Mu. Without her artificial sun, I would still have a hard time dealing with her."
"After all, she and I are fundamentally incompatible."
At this moment, Jianping spoke calmly, "Then why are you still keeping her?"
"They're already enemies, might as well give it to her now..."
Ji Shao shook his head.
"No, she is now the Ji Family Saintess and the leader of the family. Killing her would be tantamount to betraying the family."
"Isn't it just betraying one's master and ancestors?"
"We'll draw a conclusion after this Academy Tournament ends and we return to our family."
Jianping turned his head and closed his eyes slightly.
He sometimes doesn't understand these things; after all, things that can be cut off as early as possible should be cut off.
The consequences are not something everyone can afford.
