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

The group of top students walked up to Zhou Yan and Lin Anru.

Lin'an smiled.

"Seniors, you've finally arrived! Xiao Yan and I have been waiting for you for two days."

Leng Qing nodded without speaking, but a man named Xu Ziqi behind her asked in confusion.

"What exactly did Lord Suzaku and Lord Baihu discuss that led them to ask us to cooperate with the students of Baihu Academy to prepare for the four-school competition in five months?"

The other top students nodded in agreement.

A day earlier, the top students who were training at their own schools in preparation for the four-school competition five months later received calls from Zhuque, saying that they would be cooperating with students from Baihu Academy for a period of time, with both sides sending their top students to train each other.

None of the top students questioned whether Zhuque's actions would harm their interests; they were simply wondering what Zhuque's reasons were for being persuaded by Baihu.

"All right."

Leng Qing, who was standing at the very front, spoke.

"Since Lord Suzaku has sent us, we will obey Lord Suzaku's orders."

The other students fell silent. Lin Anru, who was standing nearby, ran to the side and drove up in a long luxury car. The top students got into the car one after another.

After everyone got on the bus, Lin Anru drove away.

The destination was not Daxing Hotel, because this time they were going to conduct simulated combat training with the top students of Baihu Academy. For this purpose, Zhuque and Baihu decided on a place called Wu Family Dojo as the training and daily residence of their students.

Zhou Yan had been to the Wu Family Martial Arts Academy before; it was owned by Wu Shanfu's family. As soon as Zhou Yan learned that the Wu Family Martial Arts Academy was to be used as a training ground, he understood that Wu Shanfu probably wanted to train with him again, which led to this joint training program between the Vermilion Bird Academy and the White Tiger Academy.

Of course, Wu Shanfu couldn't have done this on her own. Zhou Yan guessed that Baihu felt sorry for Wu Shanfu, his student, so he sold some benefits to Zhuque, which made Zhuque agree to the request for mutual training.

Lin Anru arrived at Wu Family Martial Arts Academy in ten minutes. When he arrived, there was another car parked in front of the academy, and eight students wearing White Tiger Academy uniforms were standing in front of the academy, chatting with Xie Xin, an old acquaintance of Zhou Yan.

Lin Anru parked the car in the parking lot outside the gate, and soon the top students of Zhuque Academy, led by Leng Qing, got out of the extended luxury car one after another.

The White Tiger Academy students who were chatting happily with Xie Xin immediately stopped talking, turned their heads, and looked at Leng Qing and the others who got off the car with unfriendly eyes.

Leng Qing and the others got out of the car but didn't move. They just stood there staring at the students from White Tiger Academy, the heavy atmosphere lingering.

However, it wouldn't do for a bunch of people to just stand there, so the tallest student from White Tiger Academy walked out with a smile that couldn't be more fake.

"Junior Sister Leng, it's been a year. I didn't expect we'd meet again before the four-school competition."

Leng Qing then spoke.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, shall we go in and have a sparring match?"

The tallest boy came out and reached out his hand to the door.

"Okay, please."

Two groups of top students entered the entrance of the Wu Family Dojo.

Because she was afraid of getting involved in the inexplicable fighting among these top students, Lin'an, who hadn't gotten off the bus, nudged Zhou Yan, who was also still on the bus, with her elbow and said happily.

"Senior Leng Qing and that bastard on the other side are going to settle their score."

Zhou Yan hummed in agreement.

These two groups of students don't seem to have a good relationship, but they will be training together in the future, so one of them needs to take charge. The decision among the awakened ones is simple: whoever is stronger will be listened to. Leng Qing will probably have to fight a battle with the students from White Tiger Academy. Whoever wins will have their words carry weight for the next few months.

"Squeak..."

The car door next to Zhou Yan opened, and Xie Xin, who had opened the door, reached out.

"Master, my husband Lao Wu has been waiting for you for a long time. Can you go and train with him now?"

Zhou Yan glanced at Lin Anru beside him, and Lin Anru shrugged.

"I want to go watch Senior Leng and her classmates compete."

Zhou Yan and Lin Anru got out of the car together. The two accompanied Xie Xin into the Wu Family Dojo. However, when they arrived at the entrance, Lin Anru followed Leng Qing's direction, while Zhou Yan followed Xie Xin to the dojo where he had fought Wu Shanfu before.

The dojo's decor is slightly different from before, and there are more people there as well.

Previously, it was Xie Xin and Wu Shanfu present, but this time, in addition to Xie Xin and Wu Shanfu, there was also a mature woman in her thirties sitting in the corner drinking tea.

Zhou Yan glanced at the mature woman a few times and then pulled down the attribute bar.

Weight: 66 kg.

Wu Shanfu, who was sitting in front of Zhou Yan, noticed Zhou Yan's gaze and quickly explained.

"Master, this is my aunt. She has heard that your swordsmanship is very good and hopes to see how you are doing so that we can improve together."

Wu Caiwei, a mature and sophisticated woman, spoke calmly from the corner.

"Young man, just pretend I don't exist and naturally engage in sword fighting with Shan Fu."

Zhou Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at Wu Shanfu.

Wu Shanfu said respectfully.

“Master, if there’s nothing else, let’s get straight to the point and begin fencing.”

Zhou Yan waved his hand, and the young man took out two bracelets from his pocket, throwing one in front of Wu Shanfu. Wu Shanfu looked at the bracelet in confusion.

Zhou Yan explained.

"If we were to fight, and one of us were physically stronger than the other, it would be less fun. I had these two bracelets made so that our strength, agility, and reflexes can be fixed within a thousand. This way, our fights will be more... valuable for learning."

Wu Shanfu had no doubts and said happily.

“The master is right. Hmm, let Shanfu try it first.”

Wu Shanfu put on the bracelet Zhou Yan gave her, then drew her sword and brandished it a few times.

As a member of the Witch Clan and the granddaughter of Chi You, Wu Shanfu possessed extraordinary control over her body. In just ten minutes, she became familiar with her restricted body.

"Master, I'm all better now."

Wu Shanfu bowed to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan drew his sword and closed his eyes.

Chapter Thirty-One: Meeting

Wu Shanfu and Zhou Yan faced each other, their swords pointing at each other.

Wu Caiwei, who was in the corner, opened her eyes wide, and streaks of light emanated from her eyes.

Wu Caiwei was brought by Baihu. After Baihu guessed that Zhou Yan might have the sword technique of "72 Transformations of the Earthly Fiends", he specially found Wu Caiwei, a white-headed ape, to watch the battle between Zhou Yan and Wu Shanfu.

All this was to steal fragments of Zhou Yan's "Seventy-Two Transformations of the Earthly Fiends".

The white-headed ape is a naturally born spiritual beast, known for its photographic memory and exceptional skill in learning magic. It can grasp the essence of normal spells at a glance and learn them with a little thought. Although Zhou Yan's "Seventy-Two Transformations of Earthly Fiends" is a top-tier orthodox spell, Wu Caiwei believed that she should be able to understand its intricacies as it was a fragment.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as Wu Caiwei had imagined.

During the ensuing battle between Zhou Yan and Wu Shanfu, Wu Caiwei did not see any discernible fluctuations in their power.

Three seconds after Wu Shanfu and Zhou Yan faced off, Wu Shanfu took a step forward, her sword tip piercing straight at Zhou Yan.

Wu Caiwei and Xie Xin both thought to themselves that Wu Shanfu's footwork and rapier technique had been perfect from the beginning to the end, to the point that it could be included in textbooks.

However, Zhou Yan simply extended the sword horizontally, causing the Shengwu Sword and Youxian Sword to collide. Wu Shanfu began to walk, and the Youxian Sword in her hand moved like a living thing, approaching Zhou Yan from various angles and in various ways, but all of them were pushed away by Zhou Yan.

Wu Caiwei had witnessed Wu Shanfu's swordsmanship before and knew that her niece's swordsmanship was extremely skillful. The opening move just now also showed that Wu Shanfu's swordsmanship had improved again recently. However, Zhou Yan, the man with his eyes closed, was like an impenetrable wall of copper and iron, easily blocking Wu Shanfu's attacks one by one.

As Wu Shanfu circled around Zhou Yan, relentlessly attacking him, sweat gradually beaded on her forehead.

Wu Shanfu had sparred with countless sword masters throughout her life, experiencing both wins and losses, but she had never encountered someone like Zhou Yan, who only defended and never attacked, leaving Wu Shanfu feeling helpless.

At this moment, Zhou Yan seemed not to be a person, but a wall with no blind spots or weaknesses. With Wu Shanfu's current vision and skills, she could not find any flaws in Zhou Yan no matter what.

But it was this utter helplessness that caused Wu Shanfu's blood to start bubbling up little by little. The heat after bubbling was so intense that Wu Shanfu felt as if her breath was burning her upper lip.

It must be this kind of enemy, this kind of opponent who is so exquisitely skilled, that can be the goal that one seeks and surpasses.

Wu Shanfu is head over heels in love with Zhou Yan.

I absolutely love this towering, unfathomable mountain of kendo.

Therefore, filled with fervor and passion, Wu Shanfu continued to unleash her sword strikes at Zhou Yan.

This is Wu Shanfu's pure and sincere expression of respect for Zhou Yan.

……

Another martial arts arena.

Leng Qing, having taken off her mask, uttered a sentence.

"Your Majesty!"

As Leng Qing stood before him, Lu Zhi, a demigod of the Fei Niu clan from the White Tiger Academy, suddenly collapsed to his knees with a thud. The surrounding White Tiger Academy students rose to their feet, looking at their leader with unease.

Fei Niu came in fifth place in the last four-school competition, narrowly losing to Leng Qing. This time, when they face off again, there seems to be a chance for them to repeat the same mistake.

Leng Qing spoke again.

"roll!"

The Flying Bull was thrown off the arena as if it had been hit by a dump truck, flying backwards and rolling several times after landing on the ground.

After rolling around a few times, Fei Niu Lu stood up straight, his pair of green eyes glaring fiercely at Leng Qing, who was still on the arena.

Leng Qing walked to the edge of the arena and said calmly.

"Are you convinced now?"

Fei Niu Lu Zhi stood up, dusted himself off, and sneered.

"Okay, from now on, you'll be in charge of our training."

The students from White Tiger Academy looked rather pale, while the students from Vermilion Bird Academy cheered.

One of the top students behind Fei Niu Lu Zhi couldn't hold back any longer and mocked him.

"You can be happy now. Our Boss Lu did lose, but we White Tiger Academy are not the strongest. When our real boss arrives later, don't talk about Leng Qing or Re Qing. He'll wipe you all out in no time."

Leng Qing looked at the top student who had spoken.

"Who is your boss?"

Lu Zhi interrupted the student as he was about to say something.

"You'll find out when the time comes, Leng Qing."

As he spoke, Lu Zhi said with a look of disgust.
