Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Chief, you’re awesome! I didn’t know it was your clone that had been with us the entire time.”
Shi Ying did not conceal her admiration for Chu Kuangren.
In fact, she respected him even more now that she had witnessed what he could do.
Chu Kuangren simply smiled at Shi Ying, but something felt strange.
He shared a link with his clone, so he knew of Shi Ying. He had asked Cao Yun and the others about her, but none of them had heard of her name before.
!!
However, it was not enough to prove that Shi Ying was not from the academy.
After all, as she claimed, she was just a nobody in the academy.
“Lil Ai, analyze Shi Ying.”
“Analyzing…”
The Omniscient Spirit, Lil Ai, never disappointed Chu Kuangren before.
“Alert. The subject’s name is Shi Ying. Her body contains Buddhist Light, which is extremely pure compared to those from the Buddhist world you have met. Due to a certain kind of cultivation technique, the pure Buddhist Light is sealed inside her. There are also traces of her memories having been scrambled, seemingly altered by an outside source…”
As soon as Lil Ai’s voice sounded in Chu Kuangren’s head, everything about Shi Ying appeared before him, including her cultivation technique, cultivation base, and original look.
Shi Ying’s current look was not her original look. She had used an extremely smart disguise to conceal her true identity from the others, and it was so good that she managed to fool Chu Kuangren.
Her disguise not only changed her face, but it even changed her original cultivation base, her talent, and her energy level. It changed her from an outstanding Prodigy to a nobody.
It was even safe to say she was a totally different person.
“Interesting. Her memories, her body, her face, her cultivation base, and everything about her has changed from a matchless Prodigy to a nobody. You spent that much effort just to get close to me, huh? What is it that you seek?”
Chu Kuangren stared at Shi Ying with a smile.
“Chief, why are you looking at me like that?” Shi Ying was confused by his gaze, which was not as warm as before. It even felt cold.
The coldness stung her heart, and her chest felt heavy.
She wondered whether she had done something that made the Chief mad.
At that, Shi Ying grew anxious.
Chu Kuangren averted her gaze and smiled. “Nothing.”
The Shi Ying before him was just a normal academy student who admired him. Even her own memories told her as such.
Therefore, why not play along? He wanted to see how long it would take her to reveal her true identity and why all the effort.
While Lan Yu and the others challenged the Heavenly Dao Spire, Chu Kuangren used the time to sort out the spoils he got from killing Qin Fengyhun and the others.
There were quite a lot of treasures among the spoils.
After all, they were all top-notch sky-prides and Prodigies who got to more than nine hundred floors in the Heavenly Dao Spire, so it was not surprising for them to have more treasures than others.
“Five Ways Treasure? Not bad. I can use it to enhance my clone again.
“Proclamation Seals? Great. I’ve got a few thousand here to upgrade Descendant Self.
“And these Immortal Weapons, Immortal Pills, and all the great stuff. I don’t need any of them now, and I have enough Immortal Crystals, so I guess I’ll keep them and bring them back to Firmament Star.”
Chu Kuangren carefully went through his spoils.
Soon, a figure flew out from the Heavenly Dao Spire. It was Zhao Fangfei.
She might be a top-notch sky-pride, but there was still some gap between her and a Prodigy. Her challenge ended at nine-hundred and ninth floor.
Besides her, more of Hundred Academy’s Heavenly Champions also came out from the spire, and they all stopped around the nine hundredth floor.
Now, only Lan Yu, Chu Hong, Cao Yun, and Wang Chentian were left inside.
Two days later, another person came out.
“Damn it! That bull demon sent me out with just one punch!” Wang Chentian clicked his tongue in awe.
He used everything he got to beat the nine-hundred and nineteenth spire guardian, but the green-eyed bull demon on the nine-hundred and ninety-first floor defeated him.
The strange and terrifying bull demon was a rare one. Other than a monster like Chu Kuangren, who could probably defeat it with ease, the other Prodigies might not stand a chance against it.
Soon, Cao Yun came out. He lost on the nine-hundred and ninety-fifth floor, where the spire guardian was a powerful and strange yokai.
That left only Chu Hong and Lan Yu.
It was then that a fiery pillar shot up in the sky, and a figure came out. It was Chu Hong.
She stared at the nine-hundred ninety-seventh floor and said, “A Kylin that has awakened its bloodline eight times is really extraordinary.”
Although she lost, she refused to accept defeat.
She had the inheritance of Huang Jinghuang, the great one of Phoenix’s Nest, so awakening her bloodline for the eighth time was just a matter of time. She would eventually grow stronger than the Kylin.
Wang Chentian, Cao Yu, and Chu Hong came out one after another, leaving only Lan Yu in the spire.
Chu Kuangren waited outside for her to come out before he would enter.
He was preparing himself for the rematch with the Holy Violet Immortal Emperor.
He might look like he was standing there without releasing any energy, but once anyone got near to him, they would be caught within his tremendous pressure.
Even the space around him looked distorted.
The other sky-prides were awestruck. They knew that anyone, even a top sky-pride, would be easily immobilized by the intense pressure if they were caught inside.
It was then that a petite figure walked up to him.
It was a girl of twelve or thirteen years of age. She looked as adorable as a doll and wore a glamorous long black robe with equinox flowers sewn on it.
Equinox flowers grew along her trail, carving a path of bloody flowers in her wake.
“Equinox Maiden Sage!”
Someone recognized her and cried out in shock.
No one knew why she would suddenly show up on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.
The Equinox Maiden Sage barely showed herself in public. Even though she was also in the Interstellar Arena, no one knew her true intention.
However, she came here just to meet Chu Kuangren, who looked at her curiously.
“It’s nice to finally meet you, Chu Kuangren.”
Hua Wu Ai stared expressionlessly at Chu Kuangren, and her bloody eyes gleamed. They were deep and enchanting as though they bore the mysterious beauty of death.
Her eyes were terrifying, but one would easily be enchanted by her gaze.
“Hua Wu Ai.”
While Chu Kuangren called her name, Lil Ai was already analyzing her.
When he saw the analysis result, he was shocked.
“The first Equinox flower in the universe, undead and indestructible…”
