Chapter 535: God? What a load of bullshit!
Really, the Blade-Wielding Court faction is just too terrifying!
Before the crowd could recover from their shock, Elder Zhuang's voice sounded again.
"Before officially joining the Blade-Wielding Court, you still need to take a test!"
Everyone looked toward Elder Zhuang.
They were slightly puzzled.
In the meantime, Elder Zhuang fixed his gaze on the golden war blade.
"This test won't have any difficulty; you just need to obtain the Holy Blade's approval!"
'And the Holy Blade's approval also counts as one of the trials for a prospective Blade-Wielder to become a full Blade-Wielder!'
"The Holy Blade is the weapon of our Blade-Wielding Court's founder; he represents the aspirations of our entire Blade-Wielding Court, and the higher a person's Holy Blade approval, the more our Blade-Wielding Court will vigorously cultivate them!"
Elder Zhuang explained.
Put simply, the existence of the Holy Blade is just something similar to the level of Trust Sun.
As for talent...
Which of the geniuses recognized by the Blade-Wielding Court could be any good-for-nothing?
They are all top-notch monsters from all over the world.
So there is no such thing as a talent test.
The Blade-Wielding Court, within the Central Immortal Realm, is not a faction with any bias; rather, it is a neutral force.
And for a neutral force, the most important thing is the approval of its members.
So, regardless of talent, as long as one can become a prospective Blade-Wielder, if they can obtain high approval from the Holy Blade, the Blade-Wielding Court can directly classify those prospective Blade-Wielders as full Blade-Wielders.
"This is also your hope as prospective Blade-Wielders: if you can cause the Holy Light to surge above five hundred zhang, you can be immediately promoted to Blade-Wielders!"
Elder Zhuang said to Gan Tianlei and the other prospective Blade-Wielders.
Gan Tianlei and the others' eyes lit up, and they secretly felt excited.
Although the term 'reserve' sounds nice, being a future Blade-Wielder candidate, if one fails to pass the trial within three years, they will be expelled from the Blade-Wielding Court.
After all, the Blade-Wielding Court is not some charitable organization.
It won't keep idle people.
Moreover, the requirements for prospective Blade-Wielders and true Blade-Wielders differ greatly.
Assuming a Blade-Wielder can obtain ten Upper Grade Grand Dao Stones per year,
then a prospective Blade-Wielder would get only one per year.
A tenfold difference!
Of course, this is merely an assumption.
Nevertheless, the treatment of true Blade-Wielders is still quite good.
Elder Zhuang spoke, turned around, took out a jade slip, and placed it upon the Holy Blade.
The next moment, light surged.
The surrounding space suddenly twisted, as if some terrifying existence were about to descend here through the Holy Blade.
"Please, Holy Blade, grant your approval!"
Elder Zhuang proclaimed loudly.
The Blade-Wielders below also rose into the air, standing behind Elder Zhuang, solemnly gazing at the Holy Blade before them, and proclaimed loudly.
"Please, Holy Blade, grant your approval!"
Swish swish swish!!!
As the words fell, beams of light shot forth from the Holy Blade, directly enveloping Su Yu and the others.
Elder Zhuang looked at the ten people, his eyes filled with a hint of expectation.
"Since the Blade-Wielding Court's creation, the highest Holy Blade approval ever attained has been only twelve hundred zhang, and that person is now one of our Blade-Wielding Court's masters."
"I wonder how many of these little rascals can break through one thousand zhang!"
Elder Zhuang awaited.
Although the Holy Blade's approval is not reflected in talent, but rather in the recognition of the Blade-Wielding Court founder's belief.
"If the approval is high... perhaps in the future there may be a chance to obtain someone's inheritance, and that someone's inheritance... is something even the saints of the entire Central Immortal Realm fervently desire!"
Elder Zhuang sighed deeply in his heart.
At the same time.
Su Yu's entire body was enveloped in golden light.
It seemed as if a powerful force was pulling Su Yu's soul power out of his mortal flesh.
He arrived at an unfamiliar space.
In this space, there were endless mountain ranges lying upon the earth, like earth dragons coiled upon the land.
Above the firmament, pure moonlight gently poured down.
Silvery white frost blanketed the earth.
Just like pure white snow.
Su Yu curiously looked around, surveying this unfamiliar space.
This heaven and earth seemed like a primitive forest.
Suddenly, Su Yu's mind stirred slightly.
His gaze turned toward a certain space.
That space suddenly tore open, and a huge hand reached through the ferocious rift, entering this heaven and earth.
Su Yu's pupils constricted sharply.
That arm looked deathly pale, like the color of a corpse.
There was no trace of blood.
As the arm descended, that ferocious space was stretched even larger.
The whole heaven and earth seemed to tremble because of that snow‑white arm.
Boom—!!!
The arm kept pouring through the rift, descending upon this world.
It shook the entire world.
The earth shook, the firmament trembled.
Su Yu stared in shock at the pale arm above the firmament; he could hardly imagine that someone could shake the whole heaven and earth with just a single arm.
And whoever could do this....
I doubt even a Saint could manage that.
In that moment, Su Yu's gaze upon that deathly white arm changed.
It became filled with dread.
Roar!!!
Just then, dragon roars suddenly echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Su Yu looked.
In the distance, on the far horizon, wandering dragons swayed their massive bodies and surged forward.
Each giant dragon emanated an aura that shook heaven and earth.
Gold, azure, crimson, black—giant dragons of different colors gathered at once.
"Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons invade our Heaven beyond Heaven—everyone, kill!"
A rough voice rang out from among the dragon host.
Su Yu looked and saw an Azure Dragon instantly take human form.
That humanoid form was extremely familiar to Su Yu!
Isn't that the Azure Dragon!
Su Yu's pupils contracted sharply.
He hadn't expected that his own teacher would also join this battle.
Moreover, the Azure Dragon seemed to become the leader among the dragon host, second only to the golden giant dragon at its side.
Soon, the dragon host and that arm went to war.
In the Saint's Realm, powerful attacks burst forth, striking that pale arm, yet they left only shallow marks upon it.
They couldn't even break a single hair.
Only the Azure Dragon and the golden dragon beside it, working together, managed to break the arm's skin, causing green blood to flow.
The blood dripped onto the vast heavens and earth, its potent corrosion turning the land into a huge abyss.
The Azure Dragon's face shifted wildly, and he barked, "You hold it off—I'll deal with the blood problem, or else the whole Heaven beyond Heaven will be corrupted by its blood!"
The golden dragon nodded, bearing a look of resolve to die, and led many dragons in a charge against the arm.
Seeing this, Su Yu's heart and mind were shaken.
Yet even with countless giant dragons joining forces, they were no match for that arm.
They were forcibly suppressed.
At first, thanks to the Azure Dragon, they could barely hold their own, but when the Azure Dragon left to deal with its blood, losing a top combatant, they were forcibly overwhelmed.
And just then.
A soft voice rang out between heaven and earth.
"A breeze, a dream—awakened; I wield the blade for humanity!"
Boom—!!!
As the chant went on, endless roars accompanied it.
Su Yu lifted his gaze.
There stood a white‑clad middle‑aged man, barefoot on the firmament, holding a golden war blade.
That blade was extremely familiar to Su Yu—wasn't it the Holy Sword of the Sword‑holding Hall?
Could it be…
Su Yu stared in shock at that figure.
Is this the founder of the Sword‑holding Hall?
The white‑clad middle‑aged man swung his blade, unleashing endless sword qi that exploded across heaven and earth, rolling up wave after wave of sword‑qi storms like tides, crashing onto his arm.
Thud—!!!
Muffled thuds came one after another.
Under that blow, the pale arm was instantly sliced open with ferocious scars.
"Hahaha, Su Wu Ming! You've got this!"
The golden dragon laughed loudly.
Su Wu Ming gave a faint smile, his eyes falling on the pale arm.
The arm kept trembling; through the ferocious crack, one could faintly sense the owner's endless wrath.
"In the end, it still came."
"Everyone, attack!"
As Su Wu Ming's words faded, figures appeared one after another in heaven and earth.
But Su Yu's gaze fell upon that graceful figure among them.
Su Yu stubbornly faced that graceful figure, his body trembling uncontrollably.
"Mom!"
Su Yu trembled as he spoke.
That graceful figure was extremely familiar to Su Yu; it was exactly the gentle figure he had seen in his mind during the Heavenly Pride Stone Test.
As Su Yu's voice fell, among the crowd, that graceful figure seemed to sense something and turned its gaze toward where Su Yu stood.
But it saw nothing.
Shaking its head, that graceful figure embraced Su Wu Ming's arm and spoke gently.
"Everything is arranged, let's begin!"
Su Wu Ming affectionately ruffled the graceful figure's hair and said gently.
"That little brat shouldn't blame us."
Having said that, Su Wu Ming looked toward the void rift, and the war blade in his hand burst forth with endless power.
Boom—!!!
It seemed as if magma had become active upon the void, churning.
"Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger...."
Su Wu Ming glanced at the Azure Dragon still processing its blood, smiled slightly, and his gaze fell upon the Golden Dragon.
"Golden Dragon!"
The Golden Dragon's expression was solemn as it looked toward Su Wu Ming.
Su Wu Ming gave a faint smile: "Four Symbols Slay God Array!"
At the instant the last word left Su Wu Ming's mouth, his expression became extremely solemn.
Figures rose into the air one after another, each person's aura enough to shake the heavens and earth.
Indeed, they are all Saints, even outstanding among Saints!
Su Wu Ming stood before this group, holding the golden Holy Sword, his gaze icy.
"Everyone, kill!"
His words fell.
Boom—!!!
Endless roars completely drowned out Su Wu Ming's silhouette; lines of Saints, wrapped in powerful surges, instantly charged beyond the rift.
The powerful aura spread throughout the entire rift.
The space rift, already widened by the arm, was further expanded under wave after wave of mighty aura.
I don't know how long passed, that pale-rooted arm fell from the void and crashed harshly into the corroded abyss.
The Azure Dragon noticed the commotion, suddenly raised its head, and looked toward the rift.
That previous violent aura had already disappeared.
The rift slowly healed until everything returned to calm.
Upon seeing this, the Azure Dragon's eyes nearly burst with rage.
"No!!!"
The scene arrived here, mixed in.
Su Yu stared blankly at everything happening before him, his face filled entirely with bewilderment.
Just as Su Yu was dazed, the appearance of heaven and earth changed once again.
The previous heaven and earth had completely vanished.
What reappeared was an extremely gentle small house before him.
Su Yu gazed at the small house before him, inexplicably feeling somewhat familiar.
But he did not know where he had seen it before.
Su Yu slowly walked into the small house.
He pushed open the door; a white-clad middle-aged person sat quietly in meditation there.
It seemed to sense Su Yu's arrival; the middle-aged person slowly opened his eyes.
The middle-aged person gently looked at Su Yu, pointed to the mat before him, and softly said.
"Sit!"
Su Yu didn't know why, but hearing that voice he became extremely obedient, sitting docilely on the mat and gazing at the middle-aged person.
For some reason, looking at the middle-aged person, Su Yu felt extremely familiar.
And...
What surprised Su Yu most was that this middle-aged person's appearance was extremely similar to his own.
It was as if carved from the same mold; the only difference was that he was younger, while this middle-aged person bore an immense sense of vicissitude.
"Did you see the previous scene?"
The middle-aged person's gentle voice sounded.
Su Yu startled, staring straight at the middle-aged person.
However, the middle-aged person, like a machine, calmly spoke.
"That arm comes from beyond the Heaven Beyond Heaven; if he were to descend, the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven would suffer undeserved calamity."
"And we.... call it... God!"
God!
Su Yu's heart and mind shuddered violently, he stared in horror at the middle-aged person.
The middle-aged man seemed not to have seen Su Yu's gaze, merely looking at Su Yu warmly and peacefully.
Can you tell me what you feel about God?
After Su Yu took a careful look at the middle-aged man and found nothing happening, his heart suddenly felt a bit lost.
Just an image?
Su Yu murmured.
Su Yu lowered his head, pondering.
The middle-aged man also seemed not in a hurry, still sitting cross-legged on the futon, waiting for Su Yu's answer.
Time flowed slowly; not knowing how long had passed, Su Yu slowly raised his head and looked toward the middle-aged man.
Su Yu revealed a faint smile.
Although I don't know what our relationship is...
But the answer to this question... I already have it!
Su Yu paused, took a deep breath, and his gaze showed disdain.
God? Just a fart!
After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu suddenly jumped up from the bed. Please,
He took big gulps of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused and bewildered, various emotions surged in his heart.
Where is this?
Afterward, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, then became even more bewildered.
A single-person dormitory?
Even if he had successfully been rescued, he should now be in a hospital ward.
And his own body... how could he have not a single injury?
Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally landing on the mirror at the head of the bed.
The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, quite handsome.
But the problem is, this isn't him! Read the latest chapter content, no ads, free.
Before, he was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, having worked for a while.
But now, his appearance looks like that of a high school student no matter how you look at it...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Whatever you do, don't tell him the surgery was very successful...
His body and appearance have changed; this is fundamentally not a matter of whether or not he had surgery, but rather immortal arts.
He actually completely turned into another person!
Could it be... that he has time-traveled?
Besides the mirror placed at the head of the bed with obviously bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.
Shi Yu picked one up; the title instantly left him silent.
New Beast Keeper's Essential Manual
Pet Postnatal Care
Interracial Beast-Ear Girl Evaluation Guide
Shi Yu:???
The first two books have normal titles, but what's up with the last one?
"Cough."
Shi Yu's gaze tightened, he reached out, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged like a tide.
To provide you with the high martial arts of the god's puppet being pulled strings, I have a synthesis slot.
