Seeing this, Qian Renxue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a flicker of confusion flashed through her eyes.
"Jixia Academy?"
She quickly searched her memories for this name, only to find nothing.
"I've heard Salas mention Shrek Academy. It has some potential. But Jixia Academy... why have I never heard of it?"
Qian Renxue was secretly astonished.
According to the Simulator, this Jixia Academy could actually sweep the competition and claim the championship?
One had to know that Spirit Hall had sent out the Golden Generation this time. Xie Yue and Hu Liena were hailed as Spirit Hall's strongest generation of young talents.
"They could defeat the Golden Generation and even evade Bibi Dong's search..."
Qian Renxue lightly tapped the tabletop with her fingers, her expression growing more solemn.
Spirit Hall's influence covered the entire continent, with countless informants. Yet it could not even locate a single academy?
It was simply inconceivable.
"Perhaps this Simulator is warning me?"
Suppressing her doubts, she continued reading.
[As time passed, your plan gradually matured. You launched the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, believing victory was already assured.] [But in your pride, when facing Tang San, you chose to give him a fair chance at a duel rather than directly using your numerical advantage to surround and kill him. As a result, you lost to Tang San, and the coup failed completely!]
"What?!"
Qian Renxue slammed her hand down on the table. The teacup on it jolted into the air, and tea splashed across the tabletop.
Her eyes widened as she stared fixedly at that line, her face filled with disbelief.
"A fair duel? I actually lost to Tang San?"
"How is that possible?!"
Qian Renxue's chest heaved violently, and a powerful sense of absurdity surged within her.
She had infiltrated for so many years, schemed endlessly, and advanced step by step. Victory had been within reach, yet she had ultimately lost everything because of some so-called "fair duel"?
"I painstakingly infiltrated for so many years, only to fail in the end?"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her eyes full of unwillingness.
She understood herself. She indeed possessed the pride of the strong and disdained using underhanded methods to defeat an opponent weaker than herself.
But the price was far too great.
"Tang San..."
She remembered that name, and killing intent flashed through her eyes.
[After losing to Tang San, you could not accept this humiliation and swore that you would defeat him!] [You returned to Spirit Hall and, under Qian Daoliu's guidance, began the Nine Trials of the Angel.] [On the eve of the battle at Jialing Pass, you successfully completed the Nine Trials of the Angel and became the Angel God!]
Upon seeing this line, Qian Renxue's gloomy expression finally improved. The corners of her lips rose slightly, revealing a breathtaking smile.
"I really did become a god."
She gently caressed her cheek, her gaze dreamy and fervent.
"In twenty thousand years, I was the first to become a god. I, Qian Renxue, am destined to be the most talented and outstanding person on this continent."
Becoming a god meant transcending mortality. It meant invincibility.
Compared to godhood, her earlier failure suddenly seemed insignificant.
"Surely, I eventually led Spirit Hall to unify the continent, and I, Qian Renxue, was worshipped by all as the new generation's Angel God."
She could almost see the scene already: countless people cheering as holy angelic light shone over the land.
"As for that Tang San, a mortal is ultimately still a mortal. No matter how talented he is, before a god, he is nothing but an ant. I will surely kill him with ease."
Qian Renxue was in high spirits as she continued looking at the Light Screen, anticipating her glorious achievements after becoming a god.
However, the words that followed were like a bucket of icy water poured directly over her head.
[After becoming a god, you pursued Tang San through the Star Dou Great Forest. At the time, Tang San was absorbing the Spirit Ring of the Three-Headed Thousand Jun Ant Emperor and was in an extremely weakened state.] [But he proposed a fair fight, asking to finish absorbing the Spirit Ring before battling you.] [Confident in your God-level strength and believing he was certain to die, you agreed. As a result, Tang San once again used a technique of the Sea God's Trident to escape from your grasp!] [Later, Tang San went to Sea God Island and successfully inherited the Sea God's divine position. On the battlefield at Jialing Pass, you joined forces with Bibi Dong, who had also become the Rakshasa God, and finally killed Sea God Tang San!]
Qian Renxue stared at the Light Screen, completely stunned.
"This..."
She felt as though her intelligence had been insulted.
"I gave him another chance? Am I an idiot?"
Qian Renxue was so angry that she wanted to laugh.
The first time, she lost the coup because of a fair duel. The second time, after becoming a god, she actually let him finish absorbing his Spirit Ring before fighting?
And he still got away?
"Tang San... Bibi Dong actually became a god too."
She had not expected that woman to take that step as well.
"But Tang San really was hard to kill. Bibi Dong and I, two gods joining forces, only barely managed to kill him."
Qian Renxue sighed. Though the process had been so convoluted it made her want to curse, at least the result was good.
It was good that he was dead.
As long as Tang San was dead, the continent would ultimately still belong to Spirit Hall.
However, the words on the Light Screen did not end. Instead, they became even more bizarre.
[Just as you breathed a sigh of relief and thought Tang San had finally died, Oscar and Ning Rongrong unleashed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Resurrection Divine Light, and Tang San actually came back to life!] [Not only did he revive, he also attained the dual divine positions of the Asura God and the Sea God!] [With two gods coexisting within him, his strength utterly crushed yours. Even joining forces with Bibi Dong, you were no match for him.] [In the end, Bibi Dong died tragically saving you. Tang San stripped you of your divine position, and your Soul Power fell to level eighty-nine, leaving you unable to advance for the rest of your life!]
"???"
The expression on Qian Renxue's face froze completely, her golden eyes filled with confusion and absurdity.
"He could come back to life after dying?"
"Dual divine positions? How could one person possibly possess two divine positions?"
This completely shattered the common sense of the Soul Master world and even broke the rules of the God Realm!
Qian Renxue felt as if she were reading some third-rate supernatural tale with no logic whatsoever.
"I was crippled in the end? Bibi Dong died too?"
She slumped into her chair, as though every bit of strength had been drained from her body.
She had let Tang San escape twice. Finally, after great difficulty, they had joined forces and killed him, only for him to come back to life, grow even stronger, and cripple her in return.
For the proud Qian Renxue, such a future was even more unbearable than death.
"I can never accept a future like this."
She stared fiercely at the Light Screen, her knuckles turning white from the force of her grip.
[Tang San became a god, his radiance boundless. He erected statues, and Shrek became famous throughout the world! The Spirit Hall Empire was completely destroyed, and the Angel Statue collapsed!] [Unwilling to accept it, you often wept bitterly and spent the rest of your life in endless regret and misery!]
A suffocating sense of despair rushed toward her.
Looking at this tragic ending, Qian Renxue felt as though someone had tightly seized her heart.
"Could this truly be my future? Tang San would have everything and be revered by countless people. And I would fall from the lofty Angel God to become a cripple, ending my life in some dark corner?"
