After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

The idea that someone can move normally even after being shot or breaking a bone in an action or superhero movie is utter nonsense.

Anyone who has broken a rib knows that when a bone breaks, the pain can be so intense that you can't breathe.

In an interview, a policeman with decades of service said that a man who could endure the pain of being stabbed in the abdomen and still run 100 meters to beat up the assailant was a rare and tough guy.

In fact, the human body is a very precise machine. That is to say, if you are cut in some areas such as your arm, shoulder, or back, you will lose 70% of your arm. This is not something that willpower can control. Just like if your spine is broken, can you rely on willpower to stand up again?

Can you really rely on courage to heal a torn muscle group?

At least Zhou Yan couldn't, so he was in so much pain that he could only stand there and dared not move.

Bai Rusu said sarcastically.

"You didn't win easily either."

Bai Rusu snapped her fingers, and puffs of white mist appeared around Zhou Yan.

Within this white mist, Zhou Yan saw that the lines and colors of the surrounding buildings and environment were all mixed together, and the whole world was filled with bizarre colors and distorted lines.

Bai Ze's omniscience provided Zhou Yan with an explanation.

Bai Rusu used illusion magic to distort the surrounding space; this young woman with the bloodline of the Heavenly Fox had already managed to influence reality with her illusion magic.

As the surrounding colors and lines began to return to normal, Zhou Yan and Bai Rusu left the flat ground and arrived at the school hospital.

After entering the hospital, more than a dozen nurses brought out a mobile hospital bed and let Zhou Yan lie down to consult with several surgeons. After the consultation, he was sent to the operating room.

……

North Sea.

A cruise ship sails on the boundless sea.

Dozens of people were strolling around different barbecue stalls and sun loungers on the cruise ship's deck. Some couples stood at the bow of the ship, cosplaying as the two main characters from "Titanic," with their arms outstretched in the wind. Some cruise ship staff took the opportunity to bring out outdoor speakers and play "My Heart Will Go On."

Joy and happiness were everywhere, until someone shouted.

"There's someone there! There's someone over there! They might be victims who fell into the water!"

The men and women who were eating, drinking, and having fun on the deck, enjoying their vacation, were all startled and then gathered at the railing in the direction of the shout.

"That's it, that's it!"

A middle-aged man stood in front of the railing, pointing in one direction and shouting.

Everyone standing by the railing looked in that direction.

About a kilometer away, a small covered boat was drifting on the sea.

Many tourists took out their binoculars and adjusted the micro-screws towards the awning boat. Before long, some people could see the entire awning boat.

It was an old-looking boat, covered in parasitic shellfish, with several holes in its awning. An old man wearing sunglasses sat at the bow, with an erhu beside him. The sunlight shone on the old man, giving him a sacred golden glow.

A sailor came out and shouted at the old man through a megaphone.

"Sir, do you need any help?!"

This place isn't near the coast; such a small boat wouldn't withstand wind and rain, and the supplies inside probably wouldn't last more than a few days.

The old man didn't reply, but the awning boat he was in suddenly accelerated, as if it had been given an engine from Mount Akina, and sped forward at a speed that would be impossible for a normal boat.

Then something even stranger happened.

As the old man's boat moved forward, a small, pointed point emerged from the sky at the horizon.

Then something seemed to begin peeling away the completely transparent filter, and a huge island slowly emerged from the end of the sea of ​​clouds.

"A mirage!"

"Is it a mirage?!"

The tourists on the cruise ship got excited and took out their phones and cameras to point at the suddenly appearing huge island. But everyone who was filming realized that all they could see in their phones and cameras was a vast expanse of blue where the water met the sky, nothing else.

That island can only be seen, not captured by electronic devices.

The previously excited tourists fell silent instantly, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

……

the other side.

The covered boat sped toward the island. Zhongdou Xingjun, who was sitting at the bow, slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and stood there. The wind, water vapor, and flying fish that kept jumping out of the water swept past Zhongdou Xingjun, who remained as still as a mountain.

After a long while, the ship began to slow down, and the island beach, which could not be captured by electronic devices except by the naked eye, began to appear in the distance.

The boat stopped at the island's beach. Zhongdou Xingjun bent down, picked up his erhu, jumped off the boat, and silently walked towards the woods behind the beach.

Behind the beach lies a tropical rainforest, untouched by human activity, with sprawling mountains, lush vegetation, and a constant chorus of birdsong and insect chirps.

Zhongdou Xingjun cracked his knuckles, then turned and walked eastward. After going around a mountain on the way, he found a peach orchard on the mountainside that shouldn't exist in this climate zone. At this time, the peach orchard was in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers could be smelled for miles.

Zhongdou Xingjun sniffed and followed the scent all the way to the peach grove. He walked to the end of the peach grove, where there was a small canyon with a narrow opening and a wide end. Zhongdou Xingjun carefully held his erhu and walked in through the narrow entrance.

The road became wider and wider as we walked, until we reached the exit of the canyon.

Beyond the exit lies a flat area, where large tracts of developed farmland are arranged quietly and neatly. Surrounding the farmland is a rural village with over a hundred wooden houses clustered together.

Several children were playing with a dog in the back of the village, while dozens of farmers were preparing to go home for dinner after finishing their work.

Zhongdou Xingjun descended from the canyon and silently walked towards the village. When he reached the rice paddies outside the village, a child chasing butterflies ran over and stopped in front of the old man. The child first looked Zhongdou Xingjun up and down, and then asked curiously.

"You're not from our village?"

"The Star Lord of the Central Dipper said gently."

"Yes, I'm from out of town."

The child's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran towards his village, shouting wildly.

"Er Ya, San Gouzi, Fifth Uncle, Third Great-Uncle, outsiders have arrived! Outsiders have arrived!"

"Hahahaha, another outsider has arrived."

After a while, an old man was led over by the child who had just met Zhongdou Xingjun, and they arrived in front of Zhongdou Xingjun.

The old man clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhongdou Xingjun.

"May I ask your name, sir, and where you are from?"

Zhongdou Xingjun responded.

“Wei Yong, a native of Zhongzhou.”

The old man looked confused.

"Zhongzhou?"

After hesitating for a moment, the old man smiled wryly.

"Mr. Wei, my clan entered this small land during a time of war and has not left for thousands of years. May I ask what kind of place this Central Continent is?"

Zhongdou Xingjun shook his head.

“It’s nothing, sir. We’ve had a long journey and are quite hungry.”

The old man understood what Zhongdou Xingjun meant and reached out his hand to his village.

"Sir, please come to my house for a simple meal. It's just some rustic country food, but I hope you won't find it offensive."

"How could I possibly find it objectionable?"

Zhongdou Xingjun followed the old man to the leisurely countryside surrounded by farmland.

……

Outside the operating room of the school hospital at Zhuque College, Xinxiang City.

Bai Rusu waited outside the operating room for three hours before the electronic sign on the operating room door changed from "operation in progress" to "completed".

Five minutes after the surgery was completed, the operating room door opened, and doctors and nurses wheeled Zhou Yan, who had just finished the surgery, out.

Bai Rusu followed, and the doctors returned to their respective offices. The nurse pushed Zhou Yan into a private intensive care unit and then left.

Bai Rusu waited until all the nurses around her had left before walking from the ward door into the ward.

"how do you feel?"

Bai Rusu pulled up a chair and sat down next to Zhou Yan's bed.

Zhou Yan looked at his upper body, which was bound up like a mummy, and sighed.

"It's alright."

Zhou Yan looked up and met Bai Rusu's eyes, then sneered.

"Teacher Bai, did you sell me out?"

When Zhou Yan saw Lin Lei deliberately feigning weakness to lure him with his keen eyesight, he was certain that someone had revealed his ability to see others' weaknesses.

Bai Rusu said nonchalantly.

"Yes, I told Lin Lei that you can see through other people's weaknesses and that he should pay more attention to it."

Zhou Yan's face darkened.

Bai Rusu Ledao.

"You little fool, don't tell me that after you and Lin Lei made the demands of the competition, you didn't pay attention to Lin Lei, and you didn't hear what I said to Lin Lei?"

Zhou Yan's heart stirred.

Bai Rusu's words were a bit convoluted, but Zhou Yan understood her thoughts after thinking about it.

Bai Rusu meant that she did tell Lin Lei and Zhou Yan their weaknesses, but Zhou Yan, being the Six-Eared Macaque, could definitely have overheard it. Therefore, Zhou Yan knew that Lin Lei knew he could see through other people's weaknesses.

Lin Lei could arrange an ambush based on Bai Rusu's words, and Zhou Yan could also use Lin Lei's ambush to ambush Lin Lei in return.

Chapter Thirteen: Asking for Money

Bai Rusu asked in return.

"Wasn't your counterattack after being hit by Lin Lei because you knew Lin Lei knew you could see through other people's weaknesses and that you won by ambushing him?"

Zhou Yan chuckled.

"So I should actually thank you, Teacher Bai, for telling Lin Lei about my abilities?"

Bai Rusu acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Otherwise what? Didn't I contribute anything?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

Bai Rusu couldn't help but laugh.

"Young man, don't judge things by appearances. Some people may seem to be harming you, but they are actually helping you, and some people may seem to be helping you, but they are actually harming you."

Bai Rusu was afflicted with the madness and confusion of Chaos, but this buff did not rob her of her rationality every moment. As long as her emotions did not rise and overwhelm her reason, Bai Rusu could still think normally.

So when Lin Lei asked Bai Rusu to sell Zhou Yan, Bai Rusu thought for a long time and finally decided to help Lin Lei after finding a good excuse.

However, Lin Lei was disappointing and actually lost to Zhou Yan.

This troublemaker does have some skills, but it doesn't matter. Bai Rusu has seen too many people who are full of enthusiasm and hope to change society through their own efforts, only to fall into depravity in the end.

Zhou Yan is still young. Once he grows up and has been toughened up by society, Bai Rusu believes he will understand her good intentions.

and also.

Bai Rusu asked curiously.

"Zhou Yan, did you really encounter Di Ting in the Abyss Underworld?"

If it weren't for encountering Di Ting, a divine beast that was also a gossip king, Bai Rusu wouldn't understand why Zhou Yan had suddenly become so much stronger.

Lin Lei was no match for Zhou Yan.

"These are all minor matters."

Zhou Yan took his phone from his bedside table, dialed a number, and the phone started playing music.

Zhou Yan squinted at Bai Rusu.

"Teacher Bai, you've been secretly plotting against me, both with Lin Anru and now with Lin Lei. What, do you hate me that much? You won't let me go until you see me being beaten and crying?"

Bai Rusu remained silent.
