Chapter 581: Partnering with North Without Edge

Watching Bei Wufeng's twelve Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords pressed down layer by layer by the mountain, Anzhen Zhenjun understood that the outcome of this battle was already decided.

At the same time, he kept comparing the differences between Zhang Yu and Bei Wufeng in his mind.

"If we talk about overall strength, Bei Wufeng is definitely the stronger one."

"But Zhang Yu, by using his earth and wood skills to assist flying sword communication, can better play a supporting role and gain advantages for the entire team."

"Especially if there is enough time and space to set up a grand formation and build defensive fortifications, it becomes even more beneficial for the whole team."

Anzhen Zhenjun thought to himself: "In this Top Ten League, only one ranking truly matters—first place, the position of the strongest among the top ten."

Thinking that the first place could choose an immortal-level technique from the Dao Canon catalog, even this deputy director of the Dao Arts Department couldn't help but feel a little excited, his heart filled with boundless longing.

"A self-selected immortal-level technique is enough to change the future of an entire university, even affecting the situation among the top ten."

"Among the school team members who have the strength to compete for first place, there are only Dao Qiankun, Jiutian Liu, and Yan Qianji."

In Anzhen Zhenjun's view, Dao Qiankun was the most likely candidate to contend for first place.

"The greatest use of the other school team members should be to assist Dao Qiankun and the others in securing first place."

Thinking of his strategy for guiding the school team, Anzhen Zhenjun's gaze toward Zhang Yu involuntarily carried a hint of approval.

"From this perspective, Zhang Yu can better bring team advantages, preserving stamina for Dao Qiankun and the others during the team stage, laying the foundation, and increasing Dao Qiankun's chances of winning first place..."

Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, yet it did not affect Anzhen Zhenjun's quick response in the real world.

"Both students, you can stop now."

As his voice reached the ears of Zhang Yu and Bei Wufeng through the spirit realm, the two sides, who had been fiercely dueling with swords just moments ago, each withdrew their mana.

With a loud boom, the twelve flying swords, now unbound, broke through the layers of rock and rocketed into the sky.

Anzhen Zhenjun continued: "This match has been decided. Do either of you have any objections?"

Zhang Yu naturally had no objections.

On the other side, Bei Wufeng opened his mouth, but in the end let out a long sigh and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "Junior, congratulations."

Seeing the twelve Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords leap before him, Bei Wufeng extended his sword finger, gently brushed the blade, and sighed, "Generations produce their talents... I never expected to lose to you, junior, in a sword duel."

"Good. Twelve plus twelve makes a total of twenty-four Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords forming a sword formation—the power will naturally reach an even higher level."

"I only hope that these twelve Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords can help you in the Top Ten League and achieve better results for the school."

Zhang Yu said politely, "Senior, how about I pay you a rental fee for now..."

A sword hum interrupted Zhang Yu's words. Bei Wufeng shouted: "Junior, what kind of person do you take me for?"

"Although I didn't go all out in this match, a loss is a loss. A contract is a contract; once signed, it must be fulfilled."

"Am I, Bei Wufeng, the kind of person who would disrespect a contract?"

Bei Wufeng said proudly: "Moreover, it's all for the school's performance. As long as you can contribute more in the Top Ten League and help our Wanfa University take first place in this competition, what's the harm in lending you my flying swords?"

With that, Bei Wufeng lightly tapped his sword finger, and a sword light shot out along the spirit realm.

"This is the control method for my twelve Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords. Memorize it carefully, so you won't be at a loss when using them."

Receiving the operation document sent by Bei Wufeng, Zhang Yu nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, senior. I will study it seriously."

As their exchange ended, Anzhen Zhenjun nodded slightly, thinking that with Bei Wufeng's magnanimity, it saved him the trouble of additional persuasion.

Then Anzhen Zhenjun said: "Alright, in that case, from now on, Zhang Yu will take Bei Wufeng's place and participate in this Top Ten League."

After saying that, a friend request was already sent to Zhang Yu.

"I will arrange for you to join the school team next."

"In the remaining two months, the school will arrange special training for you. I will discuss the specific plan with you in a couple of days."

"These two days, you can first think about what you need most yourself."

Hearing these words from Anzhen Zhenjun, Zhang Yu felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.

"I've finally reached this point."

"Step by step, I've climbed over these four years, arriving at today... finally joining the school team."

"Looking back on the past, who would have believed that I could transfer to the Artifact Refining Department, and in my senior year join the school team, preparing to participate in the Top Ten Tournament?"
