Chapter Index

    Shen Ye’s looks were indeed quite good.

    But this was a serious talent selection job!

    Was ancient times really that lax?

    —At least give a plausible reason!

    The students whispered among themselves.

    Suddenly, everything around them paused.

    All the soldiers and officers on the field fell into a state of stasis.

    —Like time had stopped.

    Teacher Dong’s voice echoed from all directions:

    “Oh? You’ve already touched upon this knowledge point so soon?”

    “Alright, I’ll tell you, make note of it.”

    “In this ancient era, Humans had already learned ‘gazing at qi’.”

    “‘Gazing at qi’ was the earliest rudimentary form of awakened eyes.”

    “For ordinary titles, common ‘gazing at qi’ methods couldn’t see clearly.”

    “But Shen Ye is a bit special—”

    “His head was too lively; even the most common ‘gazing at qi’ techniques could see it.”

    “In this era, he clearly wasn’t an ordinary person, so the officer didn’t dare to make trouble and let him go directly.”

    “The relevant content of ‘gazing at qi’ is on page 3 of the textbook. Everyone is required to recite and write it from memory.”

    “Alright, let’s continue.”

    Teacher Dong’s voice disappeared.

    Everything returned to normal from the “anomaly.”

    The students looked at Shen Ye with complex expressions.

    Shen Ye scratched his head sheepishly.

    Is it my fault?

    —Being handsome is something heaven and earth recognize; I can’t do anything about it.

    He cupped his hands to the officer, thanked him, and walked towards Xiao Mengyu.

    Xiao Mengyu rolled her eyes at him.

    The two walked down the mountain together.

    The surroundings blurred.

    All the scenes from the past era disappeared.

    Shen Ye found himself and Xiao Mengyu standing in the classroom.

    Nangong Sirui stood to one side.

    “So, as long as you’re free from forced labor, and chosen by an officer, and not a sapper—does that count as completing the class assignment?”

    He said thoughtfully.

    “Looks like it—no other classes this morning, so we have time to do our own things.” Xiao Mengyu said.

    Shen Ye walked to the blackboard and looked at the schedule posted next to it.

    Yes.

    There was only one class every morning.

    It seemed easy, but judging from today’s situation, it was hard to say.

    In the afternoon, there were small classes.

    Taught by their respective mentors.

    “There’s still some time. I’m going to the library to read. Are you two coming?”

    Nangong Sirui asked.

    Xiao Mengyu glanced at Shen Ye and said pointedly:

    “I’d like to try the training ground today and see why Shen Ye practices so much that he’d rather not go back even at night.”

    “I have something to do too, you go by yourself, Xiaosan.” Shen Ye waved his hand.

    Nangong Sirui snorted and turned to leave.

    Xiao Mengyu watched his retreating figure and turned to Shen Ye:

    “How was your practice last night?”

    “I made progress.” Shen Ye said.

    As if feeling his words weren’t convincing enough, he casually drew an arrow, and his finger rested on the bowstring.

    A white frosty mist transformed into the shape of an arrow, quietly appearing on the bowstring.

    “You broke through!”

    Xiao Mengyu said in shock.

    This frosty arrow contained powerful star power, and it was a strong ice elemental force.

    —He couldn’t do this before!

    “That’s right, this is the result of my practice last night, not bad, right?” Shen Ye showed off.

    “Wait a minute—your professional skill has completely advanced to the first stage of the Dharma Realm?”

    “Yeah.”

    Xiao Mengyu had already forgotten about Nangong Sirui and her own matters, stepped back, her beautiful eyes wide, examining him from head to toe.

    “…Do you know what conditions are needed to advance from first year to second year?”

    She asked.

    “Huh? How would I know?” Shen Ye spread his hands.

    “You really don’t care about anything. Actually, to advance to second year, you must pass every subject, and then—”

    “Your professional skill must reach the first stage of the Dharma Realm.”

    Xiao Mengyu said seriously.

    “What happens if you don’t reach it?” Shen Ye asked.

    “If you don’t reach it within a year, it means your potential is no longer suitable for subsequent teaching, so you go to university, then find a job—you can’t stay here and continue to advance.” Xiao Mengyu said.

    “A year, huh.” Shen Ye sighed.

    “That’s right. You’ve already met this standard. Now, as long as you pass every subject, you can advance to second year.” Xiao Mengyu said.

    “That’s good news.” Shen Ye was delighted.

    “Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore,” Xiao Mengyu seemed to be stimulated, “I’m going to practice too, see you later!”

    She left.

    Only Shen Ye was left in the classroom.

    According to the schedule—

    There was a small class in the afternoon.

    Shen Ye thought for a moment and called Xu Xingke.

    Beep… beep…

    “Shen Ye?” Xu Xingke’s voice came from the receiver.

    “Teacher, my morning class is over. Are you coming back this afternoon?” Shen Ye asked.

    Xu Xingke’s voice was very calm:

    “You practice by yourself first. Just practice freely at the first stage of the Dharma Realm, improve yourself—I’m dealing with some ‘disasters’ here, and I can only return in two days.”

    Shen Ye was shocked and said loudly:

    “Yes, Teacher!”

    Teacher is fighting a “disaster”?

    So, the war between the two planets has already begun!

    What earth-shattering news!

    After a few breaths.

    Shen Ye’s heart slowly relaxed.

    He looked down at his wrist—

    The scarlet vertical lines had completely disappeared.

    From now on, he no longer had to worry about the threat of the Lord of the Crying Demonic Prison.

    As for those earth-shattering battles—

    He didn’t have the strength to participate.

    Instead of worrying for nothing, it was better to save his strength and take care of his own affairs.

    That was the right thing to do!

    At sea.

    A fishing boat bobbed up and down.

    Yun Ni placed the meal on the table, then squatted back in the kitchen, waited for a while, then craned her neck and looked outside.

    The man sat at the simple dining table, holding chopsticks, picking up dishes and eating rice.

    He ate very seriously, occasionally picking up a canned beer and taking a gulp, then lowering his head to continue eating.

    Yun Ni withdrew her gaze, quietly sensing the changes in the void around her.

    “Heh.”

    “It’s starting…”

    Her eyes flickered with a faint light, showing an excitement she had never shown before.

    A battle between two worlds.

    No matter what, one of the worlds would eventually perish.

    This was an extremely brutal process.

    No matter how powerful the beings or gods were, they were just meat in the grinder of war.

    Countless corpses accumulated before they could occupy an important position on the scales, ultimately tipping everything towards victory.

    And she had been captured, about to wait for the outcome above this deep sea.

    “No matter who loses, I win.”

    Yun Ni thought silently.

    A slight sound came from outside.

    She looked up.

    A person suddenly appeared on the deck.

    The moment this person appeared, Yun Ni’s blood almost froze.

    She backed away in fright, knocking over pots and pans on the stove, making a clattering sound.

    The man who was eating seemed not to hear it, continuing to eat and drink with his head down.

    But the person standing on the deck—

    “Excuse me, I’d like to see her first.”

    He said politely to the man eating.

    The man waved his chopsticks, chewing food and saying indistinctly:

    “Go ahead.”

    That person jumped off the deck, walked in through the dim passageway, and sat silently on the only chair in the kitchen, looking at Yun Ni.

    “Prove your worth, or die.”

    He was hidden in the darkness where the light couldn’t reach, and said faintly.

    Yun Ni smiled and said softly:

    “Take your time, haven’t I already given you a lot of information?”

    “—You have to let me rest.”

    In the dark.

    The person was silent for a moment, then reached out his hand.

    His hand instantly turned into a sharp claw, gripping Yun Ni’s neck.

    “Who do you think I am? A lamb in this world?”

    The person said.

    Yun Ni trembled all over.

    “You are—are—”

    She stammered, unable to even complete a sentence.

    Miscalculation.

    She didn’t expect their infiltration to be so deep, not only could they pretend to be Humans, but they could also enter such a deep prison at will.

    “The god of the Crying Demonic Prison.”

    “I gave you a chance. Originally, if you had completed your mission well and made the Chaos Spirit Light stand on our side, you could have escaped your slave status and become my subordinate.”

    “But look what you’ve done?”

    The claw slowly tightened.

    Yun Ni trembled non-stop, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

    “So many years of planning, so much effort, just to wait for a bloodline that conformed to the contract.”

    “That bloodline was willing to be used by us.”

    “What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

    “And not only did you not help her, you ended up devouring her soul.”

    “Come on, tell me—”

    “What reason do I have not to kill you?”

    The claw suddenly loosened.

    Yun Ni fell to the ground, gasping for air, her eyes showing an unprecedented fear.

    Impossible…

    Why was it acting so freely in this world? And even possessing a certain identity?

    Could it be that the entire world had been infiltrated like a sieve?

    Then wouldn’t they win this battle for sure?

    And she no longer had any bargaining chips…

    No.

    There was one last bargaining chip.

    “…I found out about the statue.” Yun Ni gasped.

    “Statue?”

    The person’s voice suddenly carried some emotion.

    “Yes, those statues scattered throughout history—at the moment of your arrival, we gathered the power of all statues into one final statue, continuing to collect souls to feed and strengthen it.”

    Yun Ni said.

    “Yes, that’s right, I ordered that.” The voice said.

    “It succeeded.” Yun Ni said.

    “Succeeded? No, I sensed it with a secret method, you’re lying to me, it’s already destroyed.” The voice carried a hint of anger.

    “I dare not deceive you, it truly succeeded.” Yun Ni said.

    “…Really?” The voice said.

    Yun Ni quickly said:

    “Yes, it has transformed into—”

    The voice stopped abruptly.

    A seven-colored thin line ran down Yun Ni’s smooth forehead, tightly binding her entire head.

    A voice followed:

    “This fellow, huh.”

    “One moment she tells us your information, the next she tells you our information.”

    “She thought she could play both sides, but she forgot one thing—”

    “Nobody likes a double-crosser.”

    The person looked back.

    The man sitting at the dining table had finished his meal, put down his chopsticks, and was drinking beer.

    The person stood up, walked out, and sat down at the dining table.

    “How should I address you, sir?” he asked.

    “Xu Xingke.” The man put down the easy-open can, wiping his mouth as he spoke.

    —He didn’t even ask the other person’s name.

    “She’s my person, could you let us finish talking before we discuss matters between you and me?” The person said.

    The lighter’s flame flared.

    A cigarette was lit.

    Xu Xingke took a comfortable puff, shook his head, and said:

    “Why bother? And you seem to have misunderstood, she’s actually not your person.”

    “Not my person?” The person asked.

    “That’s right, you’re all dead—about to die.”

    Xu Xingke said slowly, a gentle smile on his face.
