Blazing White

The moment the blazing white beam of light plummeted straight into the Spirit Hall Academy, the entire academy fell silent.

An overwhelming pressure descended instantly, and scorching heat waves baked the earth.

The tall, humanoid figure of light that made everyone's heart tremble attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

Then, the blinding white light gradually dimmed, and everyone was finally able to see the person's true face.

The blazing white, form-fitting Battle Armor, shimmering with streaks of light, completely enveloped her exquisitely curvaceous figure.

With a high, flowing breastplate, a supple and slender waist, and a rounded, perky bottom, her straight and long legs are gracefully and powerfully striding forward.

As she walked, the hard bluestone paving the ground of the Spirit City Academy left a series of footprints of varying depths, with a faint white mist rising above them.

Clearly, she was not yet able to perfectly control the terrifyingly powerful energy within her body.

At the end of the right arm, also covered in Battle Armor, long, strong fingers firmly gripped a broadsword burning with blazing white flames.

The surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted and unstable due to the scorching airflow it continuously emitted.

Its enormous Wings of Light of over five meters spread out freely behind it.

Indeed, those were not pure white wings, nor could one see the feathers that had once flown freely.

The three pairs of wings, much longer and larger than the body, seemed to be made entirely of light, dazzling and radiant.

Her once flowing, smooth, waist-length blonde hair has now turned a dazzling, fiery white, like countless beams of light fluttering and dancing.

That face, with its exquisitely sculpted features, high nose bridge, and long, arched eyebrows, remained as perfect as ever, making one feel ashamed of their own appearance.

However, his narrow phoenix eyes were also filled with a blazing white light, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes.

Those around could only sense an intense, chilling Killing Intent emanating from those tightly pursed red lips.

Qian Renxue ignored the strange looks from the others.

The bright white eyes, whose pupils were indistinct, seemed to pierce through the barriers of space, looking directly into the depths of the academy, at the graceful figure in a black trench coat.

Meanwhile, in the training ground inside the academy, Zhu Zhuqing, who was with Feng Qingyu and the others, suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

She sensed that incomprehensible, powerful aura and saw those terrifying eyes filled with Killing Intent and divine will.

What Divine Might that was...

At this moment, she felt like a small, defenseless mortal standing alone on the ground, looking up at the huge meteorite falling from the sky and obscuring the entire sky.

As far as the eye could see, apart from the streaks of fire on the meteorite, there was not a single glimmer of light; the pitch-black shadow of death pressed down directly upon them.

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Large beads of sweat oozed from her pores and then rolled down her delicate cheeks.

Every nerve in my body was screaming and howling in terror.

Her dark red hair moved without wind, and her body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

This wasn't because she was cowardly. Rather, it was the instinct for survival that was driving her frantically to flee this place.

She wanted to lift her foot, to get away.

However, under the immense pressure of that divine will, his body was like an insect frozen in amber, unable to move an inch.

The fact that she managed to stay upright and not collapse to the ground shows how strong her willpower is.

Given the absolute disparity in strength, any struggle is futile and pointless.

You'll die!

She knew this perfectly well.

This will be the inevitable end for her.

The end of life may be just around the corner...

The other students in the academy also looked solemn at this moment.

At the same time, they also felt that powerful aura that was pressing in.

The residual power alone was enough to make these young Soul Master, whose cultivation level was no higher than Soul King, tremble.

However, since it had not locked onto them, they were only filled with fear and apprehension, but not to the point of being unable to move.

"What... what is that?"

Feng Qingyu stammered softly, then turned her gaze to the people around her.

His expression was terrified, like that of a frightened little animal.

She asked "What is that?" instead of "Who is that?"

Because in her understanding, it was impossible for humans to possess such a powerful sense of oppression.

Even those Titled Douluo and Peak Douluo who stand at the very top of the continent's pyramid are no match for them.

Just like facing volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and the collapse of giant mountains, human power is as insignificant as dust in the face of natural disasters.

"Don't worry, this is Spirit City, nothing will happen."

Feng Xiaotian forced himself to remain calm and gently reassured him, moving closer as he approached.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er finally noticed the strange behavior of the girl in black beside her.

In a slightly trembling voice, she asked softly, "Zhu Zhuqing, what's wrong?"

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing did not answer, staring blankly into the distance.

Not only was she unable to speak at this moment, but she could not even hear any sounds from the outside world.

Apart from the loud, piercing ringing in my ears, only my still strong heartbeat continued to pound in my chest.

Behind her, the phantom of a white-furred, blood-striped tiger loomed faintly.

"... Don't worry about my affairs for now. How's your cultivation going? After all this time, you still haven't made it into the basics of power integration?"

Su Cheng didn't want to talk about those private matters, so he asked about Bibi Dong's progress in her cultivation instead.

"No, that won't work," Bibi Dong sighed softly.

"If you, a great scholar, refuse to help, and my knowledge and talent are insufficient, I really can't go any further."

"It shouldn't be like this. Your accumulation is actually enough. Even if the fusion efficiency is low due to the imbalance of energy in your body, it shouldn't have been so long without any progress. I think you haven't put in enough effort. You've been half-hearted and somewhat lax." Su Cheng didn't believe her words and frowned as he spoke bluntly.

"Do you think I don't want to improve? The Divine Exam is completely ruined, and decades of hard work have been wasted. My comprehension is not as good as yours, so I can only improve step by step. As it stands now, I'm afraid I can only wait until I further realize the potential of my Twin Martial Souls before I have a chance." Bibi Dong looked at him pitifully.

"If all else fails, do as I said before and have you study my soul again. Anyway, your cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so why not take this opportunity to try it out? It will definitely be of great benefit to you."

"I'm not going."

This time, Su Cheng didn't hesitate as much as before and refused outright.

Although his progress has indeed been slow recently, he still has a lot of troubles to deal with and really doesn't want to have any more setbacks in his life.

If all else fails, wait for the Simulator to return to normal before entering the next trial to see how things go.

He had a premonition that the next Simulation would be crucial.

In fact, Su Cheng had already guessed what the Simulator was really like.

This is the final verification.

"Let's wait for Xiao Xue to come out of seclusion. If she's alright, I'll go with you to add Soul Ring to the Soul Devouring Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. Once your Second Martial Soul is upgraded and you've truly mastered the cultivation of Innate Power, the potential for further improvement will open up instantly."

"Sigh, as expected, all the others combined don't count as much as Xiao Xue in your eyes."

"You've misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Su Cheng glanced at her in surprise, then shook his head and patiently explained.

"You may be a little slow in your cultivation, but you've all actually gotten on the right track. But Xiao Xue is different; her situation is rather special. To be honest, I've never experienced a twin soul like hers before, so how could I possibly see through all the secrets involved?"

"All the suggestions I made about her cultivation were based on my own accumulated knowledge and deductions, and were only theoretically feasible. They may not actually be correct. In the end, whether they work or not depends on her."

"Therefore, I must keep a close eye on her progress to prevent an irreversible situation from arising. Putting aside everything else, I should at least be strong enough to suppress her."

At this point, his voice suddenly paused.

I feel like an old general on a stage, covered in flags.

But then he chuckled to himself, realizing he had been overthinking things.

No matter how gifted Xiao Xue is, she couldn't possibly have improved her strength to such an extent in such a short period of time.

His concern wasn't anything else, but rather that special understanding of the concept.

Actually, Su Cheng had been somewhat worried from the very beginning.

That kind of true meaning is too lofty and ethereal. Qian Renxue herself has amazing potential, and there is a possibility that she might lose control if she makes rapid progress.

But this was her own will, and there was no better route to choose from.

From the moment her souls became twins, there was no turning back for Qian Renxue. Unless one of her two souls was sacrificed to make them one again, she could only keep moving forward.

Therefore, Su Cheng could only choose to believe in her abilities and that she could maintain her composure and stay true to her original aspirations.

After a brief pause, he continued:

"If it's just a mutation in the soul, although it's troublesome, there's at least a way to treat the symptoms, which is to absorb 100,000 Year Spirit Ring. Then, by using the Soul Power in the 100,000 Year Spirit Ring, we can stabilize her Soul Core and reduce the wear and tear between the twin souls."

"But the problem is that Xiao Xue's talent far surpasses that of ordinary people, which could lead to unpredictable situations."

"People like her are prone to gaining special insights during cultivation, either through chance encounters or accidents, which leads to a rapid increase in their strength."

"I even suspect that she was originally destined to be the one favored by the world, the so-called chosen one."

"The Chosen One? The Chosen One..." Bibi Dong looked at Su Cheng in surprise, repeating the title in a low voice.

"That's right, the chosen one. The darling of the world, the favored one of destiny, the one who may change the future course of the world."

At this point, Su Cheng looked up and exchanged a glance with Bibi Dong.

"Actually, you are also like a chosen one. You are exceptionally talented, have experienced many hardships, and have had many opportunities."

But actually you are not.

"You are a kind of protector, whose purpose is to be the vanguard of the king and pave the way for the true chosen one."

"To be the king's vanguard...?"

Bibi Dong frowned subconsciously, feeling that this statement was very unlucky.

Could it be that everything I'm doing now is just a stepping stone for someone else?

Thinking of this, a dark look flashed across her eyes.

She didn't believe in such things.

"Please be more specific."

"There's no need for that." Su Cheng waved his hand casually. "It's all just my guess. Besides, it's all in the past."

"Past tense? What does that mean?"

"Because you are no longer destiny, you are destined to fail."

He gazed into Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.

His gaze seemed to penetrate deep into the pupils, revealing another possible trajectory in life.

Although she didn't know what Su Cheng meant by "inevitable failure," Bibi Dong understood that it was something completely unrelated to what she had imagined.

He felt a strange sense of relief, and his voice returned to its previous composure as he casually asked, "Since Xiao Xue isn't it, then who is this chosen one you're talking about now?"

"It's probably... me..."

"..."

Bibi Dong paused for a moment.

Looking at Su Cheng's solemn and serious expression.

Her expression also turned serious.

But after a few seconds, he finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Pfft! Hahaha..."

Su Cheng: "..."

"I... I knew you were here... you were spouting nonsense here, all in a pretentious way... So... so you were just trying to come back to bragging, huh... haha, you... you're really something..."

"..."

Ignorant woman!

Su Cheng cursed inwardly, feeling a wave of embarrassment.

There was a reason why he said that.

But explaining all the reasons would be too troublesome, and there's no need for it.

Therefore, Bibi Dong found these words somewhat amusing.

"!"

However, a few breaths later, the suppressed laughter was abruptly cut off as if a mute button had been pressed.

There were still a few tears in the corners of her eyes, but there was no longer a trace of a smile on her face.

A glint flashed in Su Cheng's eyes as he sat up straight.

The two of them simultaneously turned their gazes toward the Douluo Hall.

There, an extremely powerful and vast aura soared into the sky.

In Su Cheng's perception, the strength of its aura was in no way inferior to the power fluctuations of his own second-stage Longevity True Body when he exerted his full strength.

In its domineering and dazzling aspects, it is even more so.

"So strong!"

"That's Xiao Xue?!"

In an instant, that aura vanished, and then landed in the Spirit Hall Academy.

The next moment, a surging Killing Intent, solidified into reality, soared into the sky.

"Not good!"

Su Cheng was startled and, without saying anything, he flashed away from the Pope's Palace.

"How could it be so strong..."

Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically, and her fingers unconsciously clenched into fists.

Gritting his teeth, he quickly followed behind and headed towards the academy.
