He Only Had Strength and Greater Strength; the Battle Was About to Begin

Because I needed to rush back to the Wandao Academy.

Qin Wangchuan did not linger; after a brief farewell, he departed.

The Flying Ship takes off.

Li Qingluan stood still, looking up as the black ship rose higher and higher, farther and farther away.

Until it merged into the night sky and was no longer visible.

The night breeze was a bit chilly.

She adjusted her clothes, about to turn around—

"What a coincidence!"

That ghostly voice rang in my ears.

Li Qingluan, with red eyes, appeared beside her at some point, also looking up at the night sky.

He arrived just as you hesitated.

She paused, then turned to look at Li Qingluan.

"Tell me, isn't all of this fate?"

Li Qingluan did not look at her.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Her voice returned to its usual coldness, even colder than usual.

"Is it really feasible to dispel the Heaven and Earth Law and transform them into a domain?"

"And--"

"Are you sure that's a technique I learned in the future?"

Li Qingluan found it hard to believe she would do something so stupid.

Li Qingluan, with her red eyes, raised an eyebrow.

"Certainly."

She withdrew her gaze and looked again in the direction where the Qin Clan Flying Ship had departed.

There was nothing left in that direction, only a sky full of stars.

"That was indeed a technique I learned in the future."

"The strongest technique he comprehended after his death."

The night breeze suddenly stopped.

Everything around them went silent for a moment.

Li Qingluan remained silent.

She simply stared ahead, her face expressionless.

Li Qingluan, with her red eyes, didn't even look at her.

The two stood side by side, as if looking at the same night sky, yet also as if looking at different things.

After a long while, Li Qingluan, with red eyes, turned her head and looked at her.

"Once the Heaven and Earth Law dissipate, they cannot be rebuilt."

"But that's wrong."

"You may still be able to reshape the Dharma Manifestation in the future."

She paused.

"It's just... very difficult."

Li Qingluan listened without hesitation.

She turned and left.

"If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have hesitated."

"I'm not afraid of difficulties, I'm only afraid of cutting off my path forward."

"Let's go, my other self."

Footsteps echoed in the night, firm and powerful.

Li Qingluan paused.

"I'm not strong enough now, but I will surpass you in the future."

"Must."

Li Qingluan, with her red eyes, remained silent.

She stood there, watching that figure walk further and further away.

That figure was exactly like mine, but younger, more stubborn, and more...

Even luckier.

As she pondered this, her gaze returned to the night sky.

There's nothing left in that direction.

The future Li Qingluan sighed inwardly, "What use is power if you only have it?"

What you have now surpasses what I have.

'Many, many places.'

The view shifted.

Inside the Wandao Academy.

Yun Zexuan was the last to arrive.

He wanted to find a way to transform the Heaven and Earth Law into objects in his final moments.

But as it turns out, I overestimated myself.

Although I had an idea.

But he's not a monster like Qin Wangchuan; it's impossible for him to create something like that in a short time.

No way.

We had to work overtime to recreate a few of the Law Artifact that had been destroyed before.

When Yun Zexuan stepped into the Academy, the Edge-Tempering Battle was nearing its end.

But the number of spectators did not decrease but increased.

Rumors circulate that Qin Wangchuan will appear and wage a great battle there.

This is a scene that countless people dream of—to witness the decisive battle of top Prodigy.

Yun Zexuan weaved through the crowd, his eyes searching everywhere.

Soon, he spotted those familiar figures.

Chu Wujiu stood with his hands behind his back, his aura as deep and solid as a mountain.

Li Xuan sat cross-legged to one side, with the invisible and intangible sword lying across his lap.

Ji Wuchen leaned against a pillar, closing his eyes to rest.

Ye Lingchuan sat lazily on his Immortal Burial Coffin, lost in thought.

Yan Wujin crossed his arms, his gaze fixed intently on the distant arena.

Zhao Lingyun squatted on the ground, seemingly drawing some kind of talisman.

And Zhou Yunyi.

He sat in the far corner, his face full of worry.

Yun Zexuan walked over.

"He hasn't arrived yet?"

Zhao Lingyun raised his head and shrugged.

"Obviously."

As he spoke, he looked at Yun Zexuan.

"I heard you've crafted a heaven-defying magical Law Artifact?"

Yun Zexuan waved his hand.

"Don't even mention it. We're going in the wrong direction; a year's work has been for nothing."

"It's good that you woke up sooner." Ye Lingchuan patted the Immortal Burial Coffin under his buttocks. "I've always believed that relying on external objects, especially Law Artifact, is unreliable."

He certainly has the right to say that.

The Immortal Burial Coffin helped him a lot, but at the same time, it also came with the risk of backlash at any time.

"I had no other choice."

Yun Zexuan shrugged and changed the subject, "Good news— Qin Wangchuan's wheel is broken."

Upon hearing this, the others all turned their gazes toward him.

Chu Wujiu turned around, Li Xuan opened his eyes, Ji Wuchen straightened up, Ye Lingchuan sat up from the coffin, Yan Wujin lowered his arms.

Even Zhou Yunyi raised his head.

"He can't Borrowing Law anymore?" Li Xuan asked.

"Right."

"Not only can't we borrow it, but we can't use Future Sight either."

Yun Zexuan spoke, his gaze swept over the group of people in turn.

"In other words, he can be considered the weakest right now."

"Weakest?"

Chu Wujiu scoffed, interrupting him.

"It's just missing one wheel, it's not like it's useless."

"Don't forget his Immortal Bone, his Saint Law, his Heavenly Suspended Silk, and his Mystic Heaven Ring."

He paused, his gaze sharp.

"The Dayan Dynasty won against us even without that wheel."

"So--"

"He has no weakest point, only the strongest, and the strongest."

"I'm determined to win, so don't let your carelessness hold me back."

Yan Wujin stepped forward, "Holding you back?"

"As for you, I hope you won't hold me back with that new law."

The two stared at each other, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.

Li Xuan remained seated cross-legged, only a slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

Zhao Lingyun stood up and dusted off his hands.

"No matter what he does, our goal will not change."

"The Body Swap Talisman, the protective talisman, and my unique Heaven and Earth Talisman and Lingyun Talisman are all ready."

He looked around, paused, and then continued:

"I won't be stubborn this time."

"Stand back with Yun Zexuan and provide support."

No one answered him.

Because at this very moment.

The group turned their heads at the same time and looked into the distance.

That familiar aura has arrived.
