Kings Do Not Meet

The world is bright again.

Countdown 168:00:00.

The brilliant starlight and moonlight poured down from above Whale Island, and the vast Milky Way seemed to have never changed for anyone.

One moment Qing Chen was on the battlefield, shattering the Chen Clan troops's formation with his You Ju and Wu Ju attacks, and the next moment he was back in the Agricultural Academy's War Fortress.

It was as if Sun Chuci and Tuanzi had shared a dream, a dream filled with stories they would never have encountered in their entire lives.

Tuanzi instinctively looked towards Qing Chen, Sun Chuci tugged at Tuanzi's arm, reminding her not to reveal anything.

At this point, the dean had changed his appearance and assumed the identity of the dean, indicating that he did not want to be completely exposed within the academy.

In fact, Sun Chuci himself was also feeling a surge of excitement.

At the last moment before their return, the dean awoke and, with undeniable power and godlike aura, briefly suppressed the Chen Clan troops.

Sun Chuci vowed that he would never forget that scene for the rest of his life.

The boy stood in the middle of the battlefield, his calm golden eyes devoid of tears, only filled with determination.

The barrage of bullets seemed to freeze before him, as if someone had pressed pause on the world.

In that world, it seemed as if only that boy remained.

This is what a superhuman is like.

You Ju.

Wu Ju.

These two applications of electromagnetic fields represent the limits of electromagnetic capabilities.

This is Qing Chen's strongest weapon against modern warfare. From today onward, unless heavy firepower weapons such as howitzers appear, ordinary firearms will no longer be able to harm him in the slightest.

He clearly saw the fear and astonishment in the eyes of the Chen Clan soldier before their return. (Forced sacrifice)

Reading sacrifice

No one in the world has ever evolved the awakened power of elemental lightning to this extent as he has.

However, Qing Chen didn't seem particularly happy.

At this moment, Zard, Sun Chuci, Tuanzi, Kamishiro Kono, Nangong Yuanyu, Ma Jingjing, and Yi Wenbo stood inside the War Fortress, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Then many people were surprised.

Seven days ago, they were happily watching the Dean exploit a bug. Seven days later, the Dean had minor injuries, while Professor Zard's entire right arm looked as if it were coated with porcelain, and he looked much more exhausted.

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi were even worse off; they were extremely disheveled, their faces covered in dust, as if they had rolled in the mud.

To Qing Chen's surprise, Nangong Yuanyu was also injured.

"What... what happened?" Kamishiro Kono asked, startled. "Is everyone alright?"

She ran over and picked some leaves from the Chicken Blood Sprout for everyone, then crushed them and applied them to their wounds.

Kamishiro Kono wanted to personally apply ointment to Qing Chen's arm wound, where there was a bullet graze.

But as soon as he walked over, he hesitated and stopped, saying in a low voice, "Dean, please apply it yourself."

This was something Qing Chen had told us. In the entire academy, only Chicken Blood Sprout could be picked freely; this thing wasn't considered a strategic resource.

Zard looked at Nangong Yuanyu and asked curiously, "Huh, how did you get injured?"

Qing Chen looked at Zard speechlessly. You didn't ask anyone else, but only asked Nangong Yuanyu. Doesn't that prove that you know how the others got hurt?

Nangong Yuanyu replied, "Our Freemasons established settlements for some Wilderness People and Time Walker in the wilderness, but we were attacked by a family in the wilderness. Fortunately, the Freemasons are quite strong and have better weapons and equipment than them, so there were no major casualties."

Qing Chen seemed to be deep in thought. Apart from bandits, the people in the wilderness all lived in family-based communities to ensure the safety of their clansmen and to fight the enemy together.

This is the most primitive way to protect oneself.

The Freemasons, having endured trials in the wilderness, are far more resilient than other Time Walker.

This was also one of the gifts that the shadow left for him.

Qing Chen didn't say anything more.

Zard looked at Qing Chen: "Dean, are you alright?"

At this moment, Qing Chen calmly shook his head. "I'm fine. Take out the Purple Orchid Star and the Longevity Sky, plant them in the ground, and after you're done, everyone go back to rest. Don't delay the academy's work tomorrow."

His calm tone and expression made it seem as if he hadn't experienced the events of the past seven days.

Yes, Qing Chen has calmed down.

When he emerged from that dream, he had already let go of his sadness.

He had seen how the most brilliant man in the world faced life, and thus knew how he should face life in the future.

Qing Chen had already seen a high mountain, which was Chen Yu's future inner demon, but it was also Qing Chen's guiding light.

Therefore, being complacent is useless.

Qing Chen also saw how that man faced life and death with such magnanimity.

So he knew that being sad was useless.

Run, run at a speed that even despair cannot catch up with.

His older brother taught him this.

Qing Chen seeks revenge.

He needs strength.

At this time, there are already seven Purple Orchid Star plants in the Agricultural Academy. They drop 21 leaves every day. After three days, the seven plants will become fourteen plants, and after another three days, the fourteen plants will become twenty-eight plants.

This is Chen's trump card and ultimate weapon on his path of cultivation. Shadow has already taken it all and given it to Qing Chen. From now on, the cultivation of all members of Bai Zhou will progress by leaps and bounds.

Not only during the day, but also the core members of Freemasonry and Parent's Association will rapidly undergo transformation.

Qing Chen plans to stop when it has grown to twenty-eight or fifty-six plants, not because the Purple Orchid Star has demanding breeding requirements, but because it is sufficient.

The Agricultural Academy also has ten Jingshan Tea. These Jingshan Tea will bloom in three days. Unlike the Purple Orchid Star, the Jingshan Tea can produce more than ten seeds at a time.

In just three days, the new buds of Jingshan Tea can be produced enough to supply the eyesight of seven people at the same time.

Soon there will be no shortage of tea here.

The Agricultural Academy also has 21 Longevity Sky plants that Shadow stole from Kashima. These plants bear fruit every three days, producing three fruits each time. In just two rounds, they can grow exponentially.

In Qing Chen's view.

This is actually the most crucial thing right now, because as long as you eat nine fruits, even an ordinary person can reach the F-Class entry-level physique of a superhuman.

Equivalent to an F-Class gene warrior.

It's important to know that a single injection of basic gene-enhancing drugs in the Inner World can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The effects that 21 Longevity Sky can bring would be an astronomical figure when converted into money.

This item is quite useless to Kashima; although it can increase physical fitness to some extent, the quantity is simply too small.

Only a handful of people in the entire family advance to F-Class each year, which is hardly enough. It would be better to research ways to increase the production capacity of gene-based drugs.

However, this thing is different in Qing Chen's hands.

Whale Island arrived just in time.

Qing Chen rated all the plants in the Agricultural Academy.

Purple Orchid Star is an S-class resource, a true strategic resource that forms the foundation for all forces under White Day to produce high-end combat power.

Longevity Sky and Jingshan Tea are both Grade A. While they cannot create high-end combat power, they can improve the basic quality of the group.

Chicken Blood Sprout are D-Class and belong to auxiliary materials.

Looking at the still empty Agricultural Academy, Qing Chen suddenly said, "Everyone, I'm entrusting the planting to you. These things are very important to the academy and to me."

Because he wanted to use this family fortune to lay the foundation for his revenge.

Moreover, this is a gift from loved ones.

Hearing the dean's solemn words, everyone inexplicably felt a kind of power contained within them.

Heavy yet exhilarating.

Nangong Yuanyu asked curiously, "Dean, what are those plants?"

Qing Chen replied, "Now is not the time for you to worry about these things. Go get to work."

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi decisively grabbed shovels from the side and turned to walk towards the farmland. "Don't worry, Dean, from today onwards, it's more important than our lives."

The two of them had already guessed what Qing Chen was going to do.

Having gone through everything with their shadows, the two felt that they had suddenly grown up a lot.

In just thirty minutes, everyone completed all the planting tasks. Qing Chen told them to go back and rest, while he stayed behind to take care of the Jingshan Tea, which needed to be watered every hour.

As Nangong Yuanyu left, she looked at Qing Chen and said, "Dean, why don't you go back and rest? I'll water the plants. Don't worry, I definitely won't delay anything."

Qing Chen shook his head. "Let's go back. I want to be by myself for a while."

The six disciples of the Qing family left, looking back every few steps.

Outside the War Fortress, Nangong Yuanyu looked at Sun Chuci: "In the Inner World... what did you experience with the Dean?"

The battle at Forbidden Zone No. 002 remains a secret to the entire Federation, known only to a few intelligence organizations. Two demigods have already perished.

Therefore, Nangong Yuanyu and the others were unaware of what had happened.

Sun Chuci shook his head, said nothing, and took Tuanzi back to his dormitory.

They spent six days in the wilderness, fleeing for six days. Even though Qing Chen had empowered them and boosted their strength, they were exhausted.

Fortunately, the biggest advantage of the Time Walker is that it has the opportunity to return to the Outer World watches to catch its breath.

As they walked, Sun Chuci suddenly grasped Tuanzi's hand.

Tuanzi looked at him in surprise. This senior was usually very reserved and shy, and she didn't know what was wrong with him today.

Sun Chuci looked at Tuanzi and said, "We need to work hard in our cultivation so that we can be of some help as soon as possible... This time, I felt the fragility of life. Life should not be lived in a hesitant and timid way; we should live as freely as Mr. Shadow."

Tuanzi hummed in agreement.

When they arrived at the dormitory, they saw their former team members waiting there, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting.

Sun Chuci hesitated for a moment. "Is there something you need?"

One of them stepped forward. "Brother Chu Ci..."

Sun Chuci took a step back.

The five companions exchanged bewildered glances. "Brother Chu Ci, we were wrong before. We shouldn't have lied to you. We're so sorry. We just really wanted those points. You know how important they are in the academy right now. They can be exchanged for cultivation inheritances, and we've heard that in the future, they can even be exchanged for magical items that aid cultivation. These things are incredibly important to us. My cousin is from Kunlun, and he said that several exchangeable items have already been written into the system, but they haven't been made public yet. Some of them can improve one's appearance, some can increase cultivation speed, and some can even directly advance one to F-Class after consumption... Those exchangeable items are just too tempting! All of these require a massive amount of points to redeem!"

"Yes, I understand, I get it," Sun Chuci nodded and smiled, "Your choice is correct, it's nothing."

Actually, if it weren't for the previous "deception incident," Sun Chuci genuinely understood everyone and didn't blame anyone.

But after the deception, many things changed. They went through thick and thin together in the wilderness. Whenever food was scarce, Sun Chuci would secretly go hungry and then say he wasn't hungry.

He can accept everyone going their separate ways, but he cannot accept being deceived.

However, his mindset is completely different now.

Like Qing Chen, he had seen another towering mountain, one that reached into the clouds and made everyone who saw it realize how ridiculous their own petty schemes and schemes were.

Thus, Sun Chuci felt relieved.

He smiled and said to his former companions, "I really don't blame you anymore, really. Tuanzi and I are exhausted, and all we want to do now is take a shower and get a good night's sleep."

After saying that, he pulled Tuanzi into the dormitory.

With a loud bang.

The dormitories closed in front of the five people, severing all their former friendship.

After everyone left, Qing Chen looked at Zard: "How's your arm?"

Zard assessed the injury. "A 14-day limited-time skin."

Qing Chen: "..."

In other words, Zard will need 14 days to recover, and after the next time he travels through time, the other party will still not be able to use Earth Escape.

However, they also had to face nearly five thousand soldiers.

Among them are field tanks.

Even if Qing Chen advances to an A-level Awakened, his abilities and mental strength have limits. Forcibly annihilating a brigade of soldiers is exactly what the Federation defines a demigod.

Before his mental energy was exhausted, Qing Chen might have been invincible, but there were too many of his opponents.

Qing Chen shook his head; he needed to find a solution within these seven days.

Then he looked at Zard: "Aren't you going back to sleep?"

Zard hesitated for a moment. "I'm a little scared."

"Huh?" Qingchen asked doubtfully, "What are you afraid of?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard someone banging urgently on the door. It was Huan Yu: "Zard, you come out here! I know you're in there. You've got the guts to be a traitor, but not the guts to come see me, huh?!"

"Zard! Get out here! Don't make me climb over the wall to find you!"

"Zard!"

"Qing Chen, have you no shame? You're trying to steal my boyfriend!"

"Qing Chen!"

At that moment, Zard shouted from the Agricultural Academy, "Big brother, it's not what you think! Let me explain!"

Huan Yu: "You get the hell out here right now and come back to the dorm with me!"

Qing Chen: "..."

He truly never expected that he would experience such a scene in his lifetime.

He felt as embarrassed as if he had been caught cheating on Huan Yu.

To be honest, he should fight Huan Yu right now, but if they fought and both were severely injured on Whale Island, and then died together in the Inner World, that would be so exciting...

There's also a Field Brigade of the Chen Clan troops in the Inner World.

Zard walked towards the door and said in a low voice, "Boss, I'm going back now. I'll come back tomorrow morning."

Qing Chen was both amused and exasperated. "Aren't you scared anymore?"

Zard said, "If I don't go back, he'll be sad. Let's go!"

As he spoke, Zard pushed open the door and walked out, and Huan Yu's rambling voice gradually faded into the distance.

Huan Yu: "You're really something now, running off to such a dangerous place without even telling me? Hmm?"

Huan Yu: "Do you even see me as your boss anymore?"

Huan Yu: "How's your arm?"

Zard: "It looks pretty good."

Huan Yu: "..."

At this moment, Huan Yu was at least rational.

Both he and Qing Chen knew that they couldn't afford to have a conflict at this moment, because they both had to face a dangerous situation that would still exist in seven days.

So the two chose to remain separated by the gates of the Agricultural Academy, avoiding any direct confrontation.

Everyone acted as if what had just happened had never occurred.

Qing Chen let out a long sigh of relief, lay down on the recliner, and gazed at the starry sky above.

He was the only one left in the whole world.

But he quickly sighed again, "I can't even find some peace and quiet. Why don't you two come out and have a chat?"

From the ramparts atop the War Fortress came the sound of He Jinqiu striking the ground with his scepter. The Boss He, laughed and said, "I told you he would definitely find us."

Qing Chen looked over and saw Zheng Yuandong and He Jinqiu standing on the city wall looking at him.

He Jinqiu released his two Azure Jade Heart Swords, one of which flew to him and formed a staircase in front of him.

He stepped onto it with his right foot, and as he stepped out with his left foot, another Azure Jade Heart Sword formed the second step of the stairs.

This cycle repeated itself endlessly, flowing smoothly and effortlessly. Boss He. He seemed like an immortal descending from heaven, exceptionally elegant and carefree.

Qing Chen inwardly acknowledged that, in terms of prestige, very few people he knew could compare to He Jinqiu ...

This also shows that He Jinqiu's control over the Azure Jade Heart Sword has reached a superb level.

He Jinqiu looked around the vegetable garden in the Agricultural Academy and exclaimed, "The seven Purple Orchid Star that the Chen family collected from the seven Forbidden Zone have all been packed up and given to you by Mr. Shadow. Now that Chen Yu has returned to City No. 7, he will probably vomit blood just by seeing his own vegetable garden. This has severed the biggest advantage in the Chen family's cultivation inheritance."

He Jinqiu: "There's also Jingshan Tea and Longevity Sky. I can even imagine the future of Time Walker in China."

Qing Chen curled his lip. "I won't give away these plants for free. Plants from the Forbidden Zone of the Inner World are different from ordinary plants; they grow much slower."

"It's alright," He Jinqiu said with a smile, "I never intended for you to give it to me for free. By the way, I should mention that your first move after awakening your A-level on the battlefield was quite spectacular."

Qing Chen was taken aback. "Boss He also on the battlefield?"

He Jinqiu laughed, "Boss Zheng and I were in that Field Brigade, and we were almost injured by your Wu Ju. How about it, aren't you touched that our 'Zheng and He's Journey to the West' duo came to your rescue?"

"Huh? How did you two end up there?" Qing Chen asked, puzzled.

He Jinqiu smiled and said, "You are a member of my Jiuzhou."

Zheng Yuandong was more candid than He Jinqiu: "When I saw Shadow looting the Chen family mansion, I guessed that Shadow was looking for plants that could be grown on Whale Island for you. You are now very important to all the Time Walker in the country, so you cannot die. Of course, it's also because you are a member of my Kunlun."

Qing Chen understood.

The Agricultural Academy Whale Island has become a coveted prize in the eyes of two bigwigs, who have both recognized its strategic value!

He Jinqiu asked, "I'll help you kill the enemy and grant you the highest-level membership in the Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency. In return, you'll provide Jiuzhou with five spikes of Purple Orchid Star leaves every week. How about that?"

Qing Chen understood that He Jinqiu wanted to follow Chen Yu's example and use the Purple Orchid Star to increase her cultivation speed and enter the demigod realm as soon as possible!

Everyone knows that the federal situation is already turbulent, and the Hu family organization, without a demigod, is likely to be coveted by others.

He Jinqiu didn't have time to wait for himself to slowly break through.

At this moment, He Jinqiu saw that Qing Chen's expression did not change and assumed that Qing Chen was not interested. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then how about this, change 5 ears of grain to 3 ears of grain?"

Qing Chen suddenly realized something...

These two seem unaware of just how fast the plants in the Agricultural Academy can grow.

When Qing Chen said that "it grows much slower than ordinary plants", he meant that ordinary plants could flower and bear fruit in 10 minutes under the ripening of Jingūji Maki, but Purple Orchid Star needed three days.

If you're talking about slowness, it really is dozens of times slower.

But He Jinqiu and Boss Zheng probably didn't understand it that way. They probably thought that it might take several months for the Purple Orchid Star to flower and bear fruit, otherwise He Jinqiu wouldn't have reduced the five ears to three.
