Damn, the Warcraft server’s probably dead, maybe even without a buyer—too bad about my Tashalak and the half-finished Wind Sword…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main text:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Universe Academy has countless fighting platforms for students to duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Xingwei said, combat is the best teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you hit a cultivation bottleneck, go fight on the platform; when you gain new insights, go fight on the platform; when you break through and need to adapt to new power, go fight on the platform; even if you’re in a bad mood, go fight on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, any improvement requires combat—you can never become a master by shuttling yourself away in isolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan is actually a very gentle and kind person, and under normal circumstances she avoids resorting to violence, preferring to win with virtue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in truth, her most glorious moments in the world stem largely from her ferocious combat prowess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in the New York courtroom, the Tokyo Olympics, or the most talked-about Europa Warriors Competition, her performances have only grown more astonishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people probably can’t understand how a girl could have such overwhelming combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A genius with talent and intelligence is understandable—smart mind, that’s normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when that same mind also crushes most athletes physically, only “superhuman” can describe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the new era has arrived, and humanity is evolving—and Luo Quan is the one with the most extreme evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bearing the title of genius, she enjoyed years of flowers and applause; defeat was a distant word to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time she suffered defeat was when she released her first Mandarin album, due to rampant piracy causing dismal sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But back then she wasn’t famous yet, and the number of fans willing to pay for her was small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, nothing like that has ever happened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for hand-to-hand combat, she’s never once been defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on the Universe Star, facing enemies from countless planets, her performance remained dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when she stood on the fighting platform, years of victory had filled her with unshakable confidence—she felt she simply couldn’t lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only pity was that there were too many platforms nearby; classmates were all focused on their own battles, and no spectators gathered to cheer or chant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan didn’t know that around the platform, live-streaming cameras were present—not just within the school, but also accessible via external networks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, students on the platform could choose whether to broadcast their matches publicly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei didn’t need popularity, but she knew Luo Quan, as the representative of the Wu Shen Temple, would highly value visibility, so she thoughtfully set the audience mode to open to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This match would be broadcast on the Universe Live platform’s Combat Zone—anyone could click in and watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it wasn’t Luo Quan’s own livestream room, there were currently zero viewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Fledo, who had signed Luo Quan, was currently watching beautiful girls dance, completely unaware that Luo Quan had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he knew, he’d rush over to livestream immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This platform has a Sacred Salvation Barrier installed by the Divine Protection Church; it instantly intercepts and terminates any lethal attack, so don’t hold back—go all out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Bai Xingwei finished speaking, a transparent protective dome rose over the square platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Quan still scanning the surroundings, Bai Xingwei smiled lightly: “Want me to let you have three moves? Otherwise I’ll kill you instantly and you won’t even get to experience anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.” Luo Quan looked offended. “Do you think I’m the type who can’t handle losing? If I lose, it’s because I’m not good enough—but don’t you dare hold back, or you’ll lose both the fight and your dignity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, that’s what you said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei flicked her wrist and pulled a rectangular box, four inches on each side, from her storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood the box upright and tapped its top lightly; it unfolded like a peacock’s tail, revealing nine long swords inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight were slender, one thick—each exquisitely crafted, gleaming with icy light; more like works of art than weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most intense match I’ve ever had here used eight swords—I wonder how many you’ll make me use?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei said, drawing the leftmost slender sword and smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Try it and see.” Luo Quan stepped half a pace back with her left foot, assuming a defensive stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she finished speaking, Bai Xingwei blurred into a streak of white light, her icy blade aimed straight at Luo Quan’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the Sacred Salvation Barrier, Bai Xingwei struck with lethal intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that suited Luo Quan perfectly—she’d long wanted to test just how tough her Pure Luminous Body really was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the barrier stopped it, that meant this blade would pierce her defenses effortlessly and kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it didn’t stop, she could fight even more freely later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought flashed through her mind in an instant—and Bai Xingwei’s blade arrived before her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the blade moved faster than chasing stars and moon, it wasn’t entirely undodgeable—she’d already tracked its path clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was still in her normal state; her body couldn’t react yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a sound, the blade struck Luo Quan’s neck—and instantly bounced off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei frowned, feeling as if she’d slashed through cotton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most body-cultivation techniques follow a hard, forceful path, emphasizing invulnerability—metal striking the body rings out with clanging sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan’s technique is strange: equally unbreakable, yet producing no impact noise at all, as if neutralizing all force entirely—truly remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could marvel further, Luo Quan’s fist swung toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple, unadorned punch—but incredibly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei also wanted to probe Luo Quan’s limits, so she didn’t dodge—instead, she thrust her sword forward to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!” The blade bent under Luo Quan’s punch; Bai Xingwei frowned, channeling her internal energy to wrestle with Luo Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve got serious strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Bai Xingwei had already overestimated Luo Quan’s power, she was still stunned by the force of that punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d trained for years with the Ten-Thousand-Tael Sword; though a sword cultivator, her body was stronger than many body cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless body cultivators who thought themselves immensely strong had been knocked flat by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, she finally understood what a true body cultivator was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is what ‘invulnerable and immensely strong’ body cultivators are like?” Bai Xingwei said, still locked in struggle with Luo Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immense strength?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan paused, then laughed: “I haven’t even used one-tenth of my power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Less than one-tenth?” This time Bai Xingwei was stunned. “Then I really want to see what you can do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then hold on tight—Open the Gate of Shock!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan whispered sharply—and a white energy wave erupted from her body, whipping their hair wildly in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden change sent alarm bells ringing in Bai Xingwei’s mind; she forgot all about wanting to “see” anything and instantly leapt back dozens of meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Luo Quan vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where she’d stood, the floor cracked into fragments, forming a ring-shaped shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So fast!” Bai Xingwei didn’t panic—she closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Sword Immortal, her sword art was extraordinary, but her spiritual perception was even stronger—she could locate movement even if her eyes couldn’t track it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the right!” Bai Xingwei shouted, slashing a brilliant silver sword qi across the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword qi began as only three inches long—unremarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in an instant, it exploded into dozens of times its size, becoming a towering blade of qi racing toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Day Tiger!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan thrust both hands forward—a ferocious white tiger roared out, charging straight into the sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei knew how powerful this technique was; even with a Blood-Refining body, resisting its shockwave would be extremely taxing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So after releasing the sword qi, she swiftly retreated, preparing to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the expected explosion—the tiger being split in two—never came. Instead, something stranger happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiger, seemingly made of spiritual energy, opened its mouth and swallowed Bai Xingwei’s sword qi whole—then roared and charged straight at her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this even possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei laughed, then hooked her left index finger—immediately, the second slender sword in her sheath flew out and landed neatly in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With dual swords in hand, Bai Xingwei swung rapidly—within seconds, she unleashed over a dozen sword qis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the tiger could still open its mouth to devour them—but as more sword qis arrived, it was instantly shredded into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This ‘Day Tiger’ technique is indeed remarkable—it can absorb spiritual energy—but it still has limits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xingwei smiled at Luo Quan: “I recall ‘Day Tiger’ is followed by ‘Evening Elephant’ and ‘Night Kai’—show me them all. Let me see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry.” Luo Quan sighed helplessly. “I haven’t mastered the other two yet—so you won’t see them today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s too bad.” Bai Xingwei crossed her two swords before her chest, drawing an X-shaped sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’ve got plenty of new tricks. I’ll make sure you’re thoroughly entertained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan knew what Bai Xingwei was lamenting, so she immediately activated the new skill she’d just acquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three Pure Flames!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!” Her body erupted in brilliant crimson flames, which, fueled by the white energy wave, instantly soared dozens of zhang high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Luo Quan felt as if she’d unleashed Susano-o.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she still couldn’t harden the Three Pure Flames to that degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the flames could only cling to her skin—and offered no defensive capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don’t underestimate their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system called them ordinary—only compared to true immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To low-level martial cultivators, Three Pure Flames remain deadly; once touched, those of weaker cultivation would instantly melt into candle stubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the roaring flames engulfing Luo Quan, Bai Xingwei felt real pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her prime, she could easily handle this flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was currently suppressing her cultivation, so she needed to handle this with utmost care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the arena was large enough, so she still retreated first to create distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The X-shaped sword qi she had just slashed was blocked by Luo Quan’s punch; the threefold true fire clinging to her fist immediately scattered across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The threefold true fire, said to ignite upon contact with water, wood, or earth, did not spread across the arena floor upon contact—instead, it took root beneath her feet and grew taller as it dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight made Bai Xingwei’s expression grow even more grave; if she slashed a few more times, the entire arena might be engulfed by this cluster of flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This threefold true fire is indeed formidable. I’ll have to use my technique now,” Bai Xingwei said softly to Luo Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t those sword qis you just used already techniques?” Luo Quan asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not. Those were just my basic attacks. What I’m about to unleash is my true sword art.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Bai Xingwei thrust her left hand sharply forward: “Vastness Sword!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jet of ink-black light erupted forth; Luo Quan’s body hairs stood on end as it passed her, and she leapt sideways to dodge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t expected that before she even landed, an inexplicable force tugged at her body, dragging her uncontrollably toward the direction of the beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only her body, but all the threefold true fire clinging to the floor—and even the floor itself—broke free and were sucked into the black beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beam, having absorbed these materials, grew like a black hole, its gravitational pull becoming increasingly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of Vastness Sword is this? Just call it Black Hole Sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan didn’t know much physics, but she understood what was happening—when faced with this, you just ran away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space was so limited; if this black hole could pull her in, it could pull Bai Xingwei in too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a full-bodied cultivator—how could she possibly struggle more than a mere sword cultivator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, even though Bai Xingwei had plunged both slender swords deep into the floor, the suction from her technique was so immense that she couldn’t hold her ground and was being pulled in anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the two swords carved long grooves into the floor, their blades sinking ever shallower, clearly about to be ripped free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, Luo Quan’s situation was far easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was like a pedestrian walking through a storm with an umbrella—difficult, yes, but she still reached the arena’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the barrier, she watched Bai Xingwei calmly, as if to say, “Now see what you’ll do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miscalculation,” Bai Xingwei sighed helplessly. “Using this technique in a confined space is utterly ineffective—it’s just making things worse for myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At least you’ve sucked up all the flames on the floor,” Luo Quan tried to cheer her up. “Actually, this technique is quite impressive—Vastness contains the minutest speck, touching on spatial domains. I never expected it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it doesn’t work, no matter how impressive it is, it’s useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Bai Xingwei finished speaking, the black beam vanished, leaving only a devastated floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My next technique won’t disappoint you… Ten-Thousand-Tael Sword!” Bai Xingwei released her two slender swords and raised both hands high.\u003C\u002Fp>",2180,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ba499fc71c983fe74937d965d0b5e80324361e74889f41094a24b2886afc0afc","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-954","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-952",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
