So Big, Really Too Big!

"What realm do you need to reach before you can take human form?"

Luo Li was extremely uneasy, nervous beyond measure.

The Luo God Clan's circumstances were now dire, making her the hope of the entire clan.

The immense pressure left her with no way to interact with people her own age.

Coupled with her status, even her former friends within the clan had no choice but to keep their distance from her.

In this deceitful and exceptionally cruel Spirit Road, she had no friends either.

This could be seen from how Yang Hong, Ji Xuan, and several others had joined forces to hunt her down.

To Luo Li, the Nine-leaf Sword Grass that had saved her was undoubtedly someone she could trust.

After all, it was merely a spirit beast in plant form.

After their brief time together, Luo Li had already grown accustomed to its presence by her side.

If the Nine-leaf Sword Grass could take human form, they could fight shoulder to shoulder in the future.

That would also be of considerable help to her in reviving the Luo God Clan.

Normally, once a spirit beast survived the Heavenly Tribulation and evolved into a divine beast, it could take human form.

But a blade of grass...

Forgive Luo Li's ignorance, but such cases were truly rare in the Spirit Beast World.

The spirit beasts of the Great Thousand World placed great emphasis on bloodlines.

Spirit beasts with Divine Beast Bloodlines were often stronger than ordinary spirit beasts.

Logically speaking, could a Nine-leaf Sword Grass like Zhao Chen possess any Divine Beast Bloodline?

"Perhaps once I reach the Three Heavens Realm."

Zhao Chen thought for a moment before answering.

How could he not want to take human form?

As a blade of grass, he could only take root somewhere.

If Luo Li had not plucked him away, he would still have had to stay there.

By Zhao Chen's estimate, once he became a Heavenly-Grade Spirit Beast, he would be able to move on his own.

But whether he could take human form was something he still had doubts about.

"Then after I refine the Golden Armored Dragon-Tiger Beast's essence and enter the Divine Soul Stage, I'll immediately hunt spirit beasts and bring you their essence or blood essence. How about that?"

A trace of tenderness flashed through Luo Li's eyes as she looked at the Nine-leaf Sword Grass.

She was genuinely looking forward to seeing what it would look like in human form.

"No, no, no."

Although Zhao Chen wanted to reach the Three Heavens Realm as quickly as possible, he wanted the Grass-Character Sword Art even more.

And to obtain the Grass-Character Sword Art, he needed to check in ten times at the Champion's Platform at the end of the Spirit Road.

"I'd rather see you win the championship at the end of the Spirit Road."

When Luo Li heard this, her heart trembled.

It seemed that he could see into her heart and understood just how much responsibility she had to bear.

So much so that he was willing to give up these cultivation resources to help her succeed.

After a long while, Luo Li said emotionally,

"Then I'll win the championship at the end of the Spirit Road!"

The Champion's Platform was located at the end of the Spirit Road.

It was a nine-tiered platform, with numerous stone seats on every level.

The higher one went, the fewer stone seats there were.

Brilliant golden light shrouded the ninth tier, rendering it into a golden throne.

There was only one stone seat, representing the supreme position of the Spirit Crown!

It was not merely the highest honor among countless geniuses, but also a reward of exceptionally pure and immense spiritual energy infusion!

The bearer of the Spirit Crown would surely step into the Three Heavens Realm!

And it would not be limited to merely the Fusion Heavenly Realm!

They might soar into the sky and reach the Transforming Heaven Realm, or even the Heaven-reaching Realm!

Of course, to reach such heights, the Spirit Crown bearer receiving the spiritual energy infusion had to possess a sufficiently strong physical body.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the spiritual energy infusion was, they would be unable to absorb and refine it, wasting it for nothing.

On the first level of the Champion's Platform, several factions had already formed.

There were the five factions led by the King-Sealing Prodigies preselected by the Five Great Academies, as well as the unaffiliated faction with neither power nor background.

Ji Xuan was the King-Sealing Prodigy of the Holy Spiritual Academy faction. He possessed a Heaven Grade spiritual pulse and was known as the Xuan King.

Bing Qing was the King-Sealing Prodigy of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy faction. He was known as the Ice King and came from the Ice Spirit Clan of the Great Thousand World.

Wen Qingxuan was the King-Sealing Prodigy of the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy faction and came from the Northern Domain Wen Family, a superpower.

Wu Ling was the King-Sealing Prodigy of the Martial Spirit Academy faction and bore the illustrious title of Martial King.

Fang Zhong was the King-Sealing Prodigy of the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy faction and was known as the Bell King.

As for the leader of the unaffiliated faction, he was a fellow named Mu Chen.

"Tsk, Mu Chen got off easy."

Zhao Chen spotted the black-clothed youth, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.

After all, Mu Chen had not been expelled from the Spirit Road halfway through because of the Blood Calamity, wasting so much time.

In that regard, Mu Chen had indeed gained quite an advantage.

But it had an enormous impact on his temperament.

Without the tempering of being expelled midway from the Spirit Road and falling from the peak into the abyss—

Once he returned to the Great Thousand World and encountered hardships, his will would not be as resilient as imagined, affecting his long-term growth.

Besides that, Mu Chen had already suffered a tremendous loss.

After Zhao Chen intervened, Luo Li had escaped the crisis, and naturally Mu Chen lost his chance to approach her.

Luo Li's personality made it difficult for her to trust anyone.

Even if someone saved her, she would still be suspicious of them.

Suspicion would affect cultivation, which would naturally compel Luo Li to repay kindness with kindness, settle the matter, focus on cultivating, and take up the banner to support the entire Luo God Clan as soon as possible.

Zhao Chen shifted his gaze away from Mu Chen.

To him, Mu Chen posed no threat.

As long as Mu Chen did not provoke them, Zhao Chen would not take the initiative to antagonize him.

After all, Mu Chen's background was formidable, and there was no need to make an enemy of him.

"Wu Ling of the Martial Spirit Academy has a younger sister named Wu Yingying. She's not weak either."

Zhao Chen's gaze fell upon the geniuses of the Martial Spirit Academy faction.

His eyes moved from the robust youth in azure robes at the front to the young woman in a blue dress beside him.

The blue-dressed young woman was as beautiful as a flower, youthful and lively.

Her features were exquisite, and her skin was like snow.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders, reaching all the way to the hem of her dress.

Her slender waist could be encircled with one hand.

Her long jade-like legs were straight and full.

Amazing!

After lingering for a moment, Zhao Chen shifted his gaze toward the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy.

There stood an exceptionally beautiful young woman no less stunning than Luo Li.

Her tight red dress outlined an incredibly fiery and alluring figure.

It was hard to imagine that she was still so young.

Like a noble phoenix, she held her head high and thrust out her chest.

Every smile and frown carried a heart-stirring charm.

Big, really too big!

The silver Nine-leaf Sword Grass swayed lightly atop the Luo God Sword.

Zhao Chen struggled to look away and calm himself.

I'm a blade of grass, a blade of grass.

Grass is just grass.

After calming down, Zhao Chen finally turned his attention to Ji Xuan.

As the Xuan King personally preselected by the Holy Spiritual Academy's headmaster, Ji Xuan had few rivals in the Spirit Road.

He had exerted tremendous effort during the pursuit of Luo Li.

Yang Hong's death was only the beginning.

Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice,

"Luo Li, I suggest you choose Ji Xuan first and kill him with thunderous force!"

Among the Five Great Academies, the Holy Spiritual Academy was the strongest.

Although the other four spiritual academies were unwilling to admit it, that was currently the truth.

Because of the Holy Spiritual Academy's dominance, the other four spiritual academies had compromised and yielded in many matters.

If someone was willing to deal with Ji Xuan first and withstand the pressure from the Holy Spiritual Academy—

Then the other four spiritual academies would definitely be more than willing.

At a critical moment, they would surely lend a hand.

Everyone had a duty to strike at the Holy Spiritual Academy.

Luo Li's indifferent gaze instantly locked onto the white-clothed youth.

He looked refined and cultured, but behind that facade, he was vicious and ruthless.

When he resorted to underhanded methods, he showed no mercy at all.

Yang Hong and the others' relentless pursuit and encirclement of her had all been his doing.

She had refused to become the canary in his palm, and thus earned his hatred.

What he could not obtain, he would only destroy.

How truly overbearing.

"Ji Xuan, die!"
