What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 651 This is my choice, Bai Zhenzhen (Part 2)

It wasn't just Wen Wuyai who noticed the unusual thing about Kuang Tianqing; in fact, countless spectators watching the battle also noticed it.

"Has Kuang Tianqing lost his mind? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and completely annihilate Bai Zhenzhen and win this battle!"

"Is that damn Kuang Tianqing throwing the match?! I've bet everything on him winning before this point!"

"Get started! What are you all standing around for?"

As countless people in the Spirit Realm offered their opinions on the battle, intense thoughts surged through Kuang Tianqing's mind.

She realized something was wrong the moment she spoke.

It's like how many people feel they've said something wrong after the words have just left their mouths.

Kuang Tianqing felt the same way; in fact, she not only felt that she had said the wrong thing, but also that her thinking was seriously flawed.

What am I doing?

"Let Bai Zhenzhen prepare it herself?"

"Wait for her, let her calmly deliver the final blow, and kill me?"

"Why...why are these thoughts popping into my head?"

"Such vicious thoughts about oneself?"

"Is it the influence of that memory on me?"

Kuang Tianqing wanted to overcome this thought and take immediate action to end Bai Zhenzhen's life and conclude this battle.

But a thought in his heart made him unwilling, resentful, and even ashamed to do it.

The conflict in her thoughts also made her hesitate, making her less decisive than before.

It's like some people who know that eating feces is a good thing, but when it comes to actually eating it, they still hesitate.

At this moment, an uncontrollable hesitation arose in Kuang Tianqing's heart.

What sets Kuang Tianqing apart from ordinary people is that once he has judged right from wrong, he can quickly make up his mind and forcefully suppress the evil thoughts in his heart.

"The top ten leagues are underway right now, determining the future direction of the world, the path to immortality for countless people, and how far I can go on the path to immortality."

"How could I hesitate at a time like this?"

"How can I be influenced by those backward, nonsensical, and malicious ideas from ancient times?"

The moment Kuang Tianqing made his painful decision, his body moved.

"Don't hesitate."

"Not only can I not hesitate, I must launch a sneak attack! I must seize the initiative! I absolutely cannot give the enemy the slightest chance..."

"This is my determination, Kuang Tianqing."

As the level 20 Pill Meteor Technique was activated, the light of the shattered golden core flashed once again within Kuang Tianqing's body.

Using the power of his shattered Golden Core to propel his military-grade martial arts once more, Kuang Tianqing arrived at Bai Zhenzhen's side like a fleeting shadow, unleashing the powerful move of the Netherworld Disintegration Technique, which attacked Bai Zhenzhen's vital points with terrifying force.

Faced with Kuang Tianqing's lightning offensive, Bai Zhenzhen launched a counterattack without hesitation.

Or rather... Bai Zhenzhen, who used the Seven Emotions Sword Path to sever her emotions, was always in a state of combat, never letting her guard down against her enemy.

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen, having abandoned all emotions, had only one thought in her mind: to destroy her opponent.

Driven by this intention, black sword energy pierced through her body, destroying her flesh, meridians, bones... destroying everything on her body.

Even in this self-destructive state, even when she was already at her limit, Bai Zhenzhen did not stop.

At this moment, perhaps only death could extinguish Bai Zhenzhen's fighting spirit and her will to fight.

In the intense collision, the black sword energy was gradually suppressed by Kuang Tianqing.

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen in front of him, Kuang Tianqing sneered, "Bai Zhenzhen, your sword strike is weaker than before."

"As expected, your body simply cannot support the maximum power of the Extreme Passion Sword Dao."

"After the peak comes the cliff. When even your most powerful sword strike failed to defeat me, your defeat was inevitable."

"Now it's my turn to reap the rewards of victory."

Kuang Tianqing opened his mouth and spat out a crystal beam that shot towards Bai Zhenzhen.

In an instant, Bai Zhenzhen's magical power stirred slightly, as if it were all drawn to the crystal.

Was Kuang Tianqing waiting for the opponent's final blow? Was he showing respect?
The more Kuang Tianqing thought about how she had actually said such things, such vicious words to herself, the angrier she became.

At this moment, she will not wait for her opponent or show any respect; instead, she will launch a sneak attack, crush them, and drain their strength.

"The power of the Extreme Emotional Sword Path! I accept it!"

As the crystal landed on Bai Zhenzhen's forehead, Kuang Tianqing suddenly activated the Great Harmony of Yin and Yang, intending to extract the sword energy from Bai Zhenzhen's body.

"Bai Zhenzhen, let me use the dual cultivation method to drain every last bit of your power."

Kuang Tianqing chuckled evilly, "Enjoy it while you can. The Extreme Emotion Sword Path that you've pushed so hard for will eventually become my asset and contribute to my ascension to the top of the top ten leagues."

In the spirit world, countless spectators watching this scene cheered in unison.

"This is the true style of a top student from the Heavenly Demon Academy!"

"She's back! Kuang Tianqing is back! She didn't make a foolish mistake again; instead, she delivered a beautiful finishing blow!"

"The outcome is decided, and we've wiped them out completely! I hereby declare that Kuang Tianqing has already won the championship!"

Amidst the cheers of countless people in the spirit world, a glimmer of clarity gradually appeared in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes.

Looking at Kuang Tianqing frantically draining his power, Bai Zhenzhen thought to himself, "This guy... also extracted the sword energy from my Seven Emotions Sword Path, which restored my emotions and helped me recover from that state."

However, this recovery not only failed to make Bai Zhenzhen stronger, but it also weakened her condition, making her even more powerless to resist Kuang Tianqing's extraction.

As Bai Zhenzhen experienced all of this, Zhang Yu's image suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Shouldn't Yu Zi be able to defeat Tian Sheng Gong?"

"I couldn't stop Kuang Tianqing..."

"Then his opponent in the finals will be Kuang Tianqing. How can I let Kuang Tianqing... use my power to fight him?"

"Senior sister..." Bai Zhenzhen slowly said to the sword spirit in the Desire Pleasure Sword, "Give me a hand."

Lian Yuhuan, as the daughter of the Seven Emotions God, once had an idea: to break free from attachments and unite good and evil, to integrate the two paths of dual cultivation and extreme emotion, and to create a new extreme emotion sword path.

But clearly, she failed in the end, and her body, like countless practitioners of the Extreme Passion Sword Path, transformed into a flying sword.

Unlike the flying swords transformed by other practitioners of the Extreme Passion Sword Dao, perhaps because it has cultivated the immortal techniques of the Joyful Union University, the Desire Joy Sword possesses a power of unity between man and sword, and dual cultivation of man and sword.

The trend of many students at Tianjian University cultivating with their sword spirits originated from this, which made the Seven Emotions God Lord deeply resentful.

At this moment, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, Bai Zhenzhen's body began to twist and her bones began to deform.

"Kuang Tianqing's dual cultivation technique is a technique targeting the human body."

"The best way to fight back... is to stop being human."

Bai Zhenzhen embraced the Delightful Sword, wrapping her body around it, gradually transforming it into a pure white spiral longsword.

Kuang Tianqing's gaze sharpened as he watched this scene: "Man and sword as one?"

Then she snorted coldly and grabbed at the flying sword: "Fine! Bai Zhenzhen, you will become my sword and help me change the world!"

But in the next moment, Bai Zhenzhen's figure appeared behind the spiraling longsword.

Kuang Tianqing's gaze sharpened, a series of thoughts flashing through his mind: "Soul cultivator? Is it Bai Zhenzhen's soul? She placed her soul in the flying sword, temporarily becoming a sword spirit?"

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen lightly flicked her sword finger behind the spiral longsword, and streaks of lightning rippled from the longsword.

Even in her soul form, Bai Zhenzhen can still control her physical body and wield the sword using her soul, through the deformed magical remains within her body, the electrical currents emitted by the thunderous magic, and the surging signals from the spirit world.

At the same moment, streams of pure white sword energy surged forth from nowhere, penetrating the spiral longsword.

At this moment, having abandoned her physical body and become one with her sword, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly grasped more of the mysteries of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao.

"In the extreme sword path, a realm even higher than destruction... is sacrifice."

"Using extreme emotion to drive ruthlessness, and from ruthlessness to give birth to extreme emotion..."

Bai Zhenzhen felt that everything was like the yin and yang halves of a tai chi symbol, endlessly rotating and cycling, containing infinite mysteries.

Her control over the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao reached an unprecedented level, unleashing a surge of white sword energy from her spirit.

Bai Zhenzhen's thoughts accelerated even further, as if everything around her had slowed down considerably.

Just then, she looked up and glanced at the rising sun in the sky.

"I really miss you..."

Looking at the rising sun, Bai Zhenzhen seemed to have returned to her high school days, reminiscing about her past.

“I have had exceptional talent since childhood, but due to poverty and insufficient potential for immortality, I have been struggling on the path of immortality. Compared to those rich people, I can say that I lost at the starting line.”

"My life was destined to fail, but Zhang Yu's help changed my fate."

"He and I passed the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam together, applied for the top ten, and achieved unprecedented results."

"Unbeknownst to me, Zhang Yu has become the most important person in my life." "Upon arriving at university, I, who possess divine spiritual roots, was accepted as a disciple by a Nascent Soul cultivator, greatly increasing my potential for immortality."

"I have gradually pushed my cultivation to the peak of Foundation Establishment. I am confident in facing any opponent. Even if I were to fight Kuang Tianqing today, I would be fearless. I am only willing to do my best to seize that one in a million chance."

Bai Zhenzhen sighed inwardly as his gaze swept over Kuang Tianqing again, "But I have ultimately lost, and my physical body will also perish completely."

"And this defeat, this death, is it merely due to the difference in wealth and resources between me and Kuang Tianqing?"

"No, if I am willing to engage in dual cultivation and to enhance my potential for immortality through various means, perhaps my chances of winning will be even higher."

"If I hadn't gone all in and had instead withdrawn in time, fighting with the mindset that I was doomed to lose, perhaps I wouldn't have died."

"But that's my choice, it's my personality."

"I just don't want to engage in dual cultivation, I don't want to change my gender, and I'm unwilling to use all sorts of messy second-level methods to enhance my potential for immortality."

"I just don't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I want to compete for first place. I want to complete the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao."

"So I fought with all my might, burning out my last strength and my last breath, to fight toward the end I had chosen."

"But in the last moments of my life, I was no longer fighting for victory."

"I will risk my life to pave the way for Zhang Yu and put him on the throne."

"Because I believe that Zhang Yu, standing in this position today, would make the same choice for me."

"This is my choice, Bai Zhenzhen."

Unbeknownst to anyone, Bai Zhenzhen's illusory figure had already grasped the spiraling longsword, and murmured to herself, "It's time..."

She looked at Kuang Tianqing in front of her: "We should no longer keep our opponents waiting."

Seeing Bai Zhenzhen wielding a spiraling longsword and slashing towards him, Kuang Tianqing felt an unprecedented threat.

Within her eye, countless alarms emanating from the Dharma Bodies formed a dense, red waterfall of information, seemingly about to completely fill her field of vision.

But as Bai Zhenzhen's sword slowly descended, Kuang Tianqing felt that he could not move an inch.

"Move!"

"Move!"

Magical power, spiritual energy, vital energy, blood and qi... everything seemed to have fallen into a deathly silence.

Only Bai Zhenzhen's sword tip descended inch by inch in Kuang Tianqing's eyes, getting closer and closer to her head.

boom!
As the sword's edge collided with Kuang Tianqing's forehead, his entire body activated on its own, the Cursed Heaven Demon Throne operated to its limit, and Kuang Tianqing's figure throbbed violently between the real and the illusory.

Roar!
Kuang Tianqing's will seemed to have broken through some kind of limitation, and the power within his body erupted wildly, propelling the light of the shattered golden core.

And it's not just his own power, but also the power accumulated in his Yin organs, and the power of the top students from Heavenly Demon University, Netherworld University, Joyful Union University, and White Bone University.

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen and Kuang Tianqing unleashed all their inner strength, clashing and fiercely attacking each other with earth-shattering fighting spirit and power.

With no more tricks up their sleeves or any reservations, both sides have let go of all inhibitions, determined to deliver a single, all-out attack, using their strongest, most powerful, and most devastating force to utterly obliterate and defeat their opponent.

When the light and shadow faded, the smoke and dust settled, and the earth stopped trembling, the outcome of the battle was decided.

Kuang Tianqing raised his head and looked at the spiraling longsword that was stuck in the ground in front of him.

At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen's illusory figure stood with her hands behind her back, on one side of the spiral longsword, with her back to Kuang Tianqing's position.

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen's back, Kuang Tianqing couldn't help but think to himself, "Bai Zhenzhen, if I hadn't had the help of the eight Nascent Soul cultivators, hadn't been empowered by the four schools' unique skills, and hadn't used the power of so many top students to wear you down, perhaps in this battle... you would have been the one to win."

"If I weren't standing on the battlefield of these top ten leagues today, I might also be willing to concede your victory."

"But the top ten leagues are of great importance. For the stability of the world, for the prosperity of the Immortal Path, and for my own ascent to the peak... I must win."

Having said that, Kuang Tianqing lightly waved his hand.

With a surge of spiritual signals, Bai Zhenzhen's connection with the flying sword was completely severed, and the phantom she had transformed into dissipated into the atmosphere.

Looking towards the waiting area, Bai Zhenzhen's shattered phantom smiled slightly before finally disappearing completely from the material world.

At the same time, Kuang Tianqing walked towards the spiral longsword. Just as he was about to reach for the sword, a burst of seven-colored light descended from the sky, protecting the spiral longsword.

"The Seven Emotions God?" Kuang Tianqing's heart stirred, and he saw that the seven-colored divine light had already swept the long sword into the sky and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

……

Bai Zhenzhen: Yu Zi, the rest is up to you.
In the waiting area.

After defeating Tian Shenggong, Zhang Yu returned here to watch the battle between Bai Zhenzhen and Kuang Tianqing.

Looking at the last message Bai Zhenzhen sent him in this battle, Zhang Yu couldn't help but reply: Ah Zhen.
Zhang Yu: Ah Zhen, how are you?

Zhang Yu: I'll come pick you up right away.
No matter how many messages Zhang Yu sent, the other party stopped replying, and even the profile picture went dark, indicating that they had gone offline.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu became increasingly nervous and immediately contacted the Seven Emotions God, asking: How is A-Zhen?

Seven Emotions God: She has burned out.

Zhang Yu was shocked to hear this: It's burned out?!

Seven Emotions God: Her current account balance is 0.
Seven Emotions God: The Spirit Realm's resources are all used up.

Seven Emotions God: Let her rest first. Don't let her expend too much mental energy in the spirit realm. I'll recharge her later.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but when he thought of the spiral longsword that Bai Zhenzhen had transformed into, he became nervous again and quickly asked: "What is the current state of A-Zhen? How much would it cost to revive her?"
Zhang Yu knew very well that the amount of spirit coins required for resurrection varied, and the requirements differed for each person and each situation.

The stronger one's power and the more robust one's physical body, the more spirit coins are needed for resurrection.

The more severe the damage, the greater the destruction to the body, and the more spirit coins are needed for resurrection.

Like Bai Zhenzhen, who became one with her sword at the end of this battle, Zhang Yu felt that she was too expensive no matter how he looked at her.

Seven Emotions God: Let's not rush the resurrection.

Seven Emotions God: Tell me about your next battle.
Zhang Yu: What does this have to do with my next battle?
Zhang Yu: Regardless of whether I win or lose my next battle, I will revive Ah Zhen.
Seven Emotions God: Boy, Bai Zhenzhen has staked her life on that final sword strike.
Seven Emotions God: If we win, we win.
Seven Emotions God: If you lose, this sword strike will be a prelude to your taking first place.
Seven Emotions God: This sword strike was aimed at placing you on the throne of the strongest.

Gently stroking the spiraling longsword before him, the Seven Emotions God sighed and replied: She wants to fight alongside you.

Seven Emotions Goddess: She hopes you can use her to defeat Kuang Tianqing and ascend to the throne of the ten strongest.
Seven Emotions God: Have you forgotten her will? This sword is half yours.
Upon seeing the Seven Emotions God's reply, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. The image of that white spiral longsword flashed through his mind, and he thought to himself, "Ah Zhen... do you want to fight alongside me?"

The Seven Emotions God then sent a message: Kid, I will not comment on Bai Zhenzhen's choice.
Seven Emotions God: But since it was my disciple who risked his life to make this decision...
Seven Emotions God: I am willing to respect her decision.

Lord of Seven Emotions: Therefore, I can temporarily lend you the right to the ownership of the other half of her remains.
Zhang Yu: I understand.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and looked at Kuang Tianqing, who was enveloped in divine light and sent back to the waiting area. His fighting spirit soared like never before.

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yu's gaze, Kuang Tianqing also looked over, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Kuang Tianqing thought to himself, "I will not allow the choice of the myriad laws. I will never watch the Dharma Realm destroy my cultivation. I will use life-extending technology to reach the peak of immortality."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Ah Zhen, in the next battle... let's defeat her together."

Sensing the undercurrents of energy clashing between the two, Tian Shenggong secretly rejoiced, thinking to himself, "Good, it seems Zhang Yu has temporarily forgotten his promise to me."

Before the war began, Tian Shenggong and Zhang Yu had a verbal bet.

According to the terms of the bet, if Tian Shenggong loses to Zhang Yu, he will no longer be able to equip the Extreme Tiger Body.

So after the defeat, Tian Shenggong was always troubled by this. Although the two had not signed a contract and everything was just a verbal agreement, it would still cause him a lot of trouble if he wanted to renege on the agreement.

Especially since he had just suffered a defeat, if Zhang Yu humiliated him while broadcasting live, he would be powerless to fight back.

Tian Shenggong did not expect that after Zhang Yu returned to the waiting area, he seemed to have focused all his attention on the battle between Kuang Tianqing and Bai Zhenzhen.

The battle was indeed far more exciting than anyone expected, drawing away a large amount of firepower from Tian Sheng Gong.

Tian Shenggong thought to himself, "At least I mustn't remember this before I leave the waiting area."

After exchanging glances with Kuang Tianqing, Zhang Yu received a new message from the Seven Emotions God: Over the next seven days, I will take Zhenzhen back to make some repairs.

Lord of Seven Emotions: I'll lend you another chance to fight in the finals seven days from now.

Zhang Yu recalled Bai Zhenzhen's instructions and the contents of her will, and quickly asked, "Can I see Zhenzhen one more time?"
There was no reply from the other party. Just as Zhang Yu was thinking about how to switch the true spiritual root back into his stomach, the competition ended and he and the others were sent away by bursts of divine light.

At the same time, Anzhen Zhenjun sent a message to Zhang Yu: Get ready, the principal wants to see you.

Zhang Yu was startled: Which principal?

Anzhen Zhenjun: Tianyan Shenjun

Zhang Yu: When?
Anzhen Zhenjun: The principal is now waiting for you in the spirit world. Hurry up and get ready.

Zhang Yu: I have something to do right now, could we do it a little later?

Anzhen Zhenjun: You made the principal wait for you? What were you thinking?

Anzhen Zhenjun: We can talk about this later. First, come with me to pay our respects to the principal.
Anzhen Zhenjun: This relates to your upcoming match schedule.
Seeing the request for a connection to the spirit world sent by the other party, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, put on the spirit world shield, and then chose to accept.

In an instant, his thoughts had traversed countless spirit realms.

As the light and shadow shifted, Zhang Yu came to his senses and found himself in a place that resembled a fairyland.

The verdant peaks soar into the clouds, and the white clouds roll and flow around the mountainside like ocean waves.

A young man stood before Zhang Yu, smiled slightly, and asked, "Zhang Yu, if you had to choose, which immortal cultivation technique would you select?"
