Chapter 647: Immortal Descendants

From the slums of Songyang City on the first level, he climbed all the way to the second level, to the top ten, and now to the highest stage for university students.

The thoughts in Zhang Yu’s heart gradually began to change as well.

From the initial goal of eating his fill, surviving, and living longer… after his power grew and he became wealthy, he started to want more.

He wanted to protect Bai Zhenzhen, wanted to save his classmate Zhao Tianxing, wanted to shelter Yu Xinghan, wanted to lead Che Yufei to make money, wanted to start a company, wanted to hire fellow villagers, wanted to take in classmates…

He grew stronger and stronger, and his desires also multiplied.

“I… have long since stopped merely wanting to survive.”

“Surviving is not enough for me—far from enough.”

“Because I simply refuse to accept it.”

“Because I simply resent this world.”

“I want to enter a sect, climb higher, become even richer…”

“And I also want to fucking change the world—even if it’s just a few people, a few things.”

Watching Kuang Tianqing charge in again, Zhang Yu poured all his focus, all his thoughts, all his intentions… completely into this battle.

Sky-piercing sword energy met Kuang Tianqing head-on.

The earth shattered, and the impact sent both of them flying into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu and Kuang Tianqing had gone from fighting on the ground to fighting in the air.

“Zhang Yu.” Kuang Tianqing sneered. “Your aura has changed.”

“Has your ambition also swelled along with your power?”

“You immortal scum… now you want to change the world too?”

As they fiercely clashed, the sky seemed to explode with sun after sun, each one bursting and dissipating.

Watching Zhang Yu’s blazing fighting spirit, Kuang Tianqing thought to himself: “In this world, the stronger one’s strength, the greater the impact they have on the world.”

He sighed inwardly: “The greater the impact, the more money you make; the more money you make, the stronger you become.”

“And as cultivators climb step by step, as their power grows, they increasingly want to influence the world, to change it.”

“But when it comes to the direction of that change, who is right and who is wrong?”

Kuang Tianqing thought: “Who knows? Whether it’s an immortal or a Foundation Establishment cultivator, whether the influence is big or small, the change much or little—all of it is just about suppressing the environment, about raping the world.”

“Then reshaping it into the form they need, the form they want, letting the world satisfy their ambition, satisfy their desire.”

Zhang Yu also felt Kuang Tianqing’s combat spirit, sensing his opponent’s ever-intensifying battle intent.

“What lifespan extension, what dharma realm, what sentient heaven and earth… none of it is anything more than a strong person’s selfish desire—to force the world with their sword, to make the world operate according to their own will.”

“But so what?”

“Aren’t I the same?”

Zhang Yu sighed in his heart: “Is my way of thinking necessarily more correct than everyone else in Kunxu? Is it more suitable for this place? No. In the end, changing the world is just about carrying out my own ideas, about satisfying my own interests.”

“At this moment, in this battle, the confrontation between me and Kuang Tianqing is the clash of the two students in the top ten with the strongest ambition and desire—fighting and killing to realize their own ambitions, to satisfy their own interests…”

From the ground they fought to the sky, from the sky back down into the earth.

Mana was squandered without restraint, magic tools used without thought for repair costs, and the dharma-bodies were crazily worn down with each shattering of the golden cores.

The two, giving their all, fought on and on! Fight! Fight!

One minute, ten minutes, one hour… When the two finally stopped again, a full ten hours had passed.

The sun in the sky had gradually sunk; the afterglow of the setting sun shone upon both of them, as if heralding that one of them would soon reach the end of their strength, the end of their life.

After a full ten hours of combat, every technique had been exhausted, every power pushed to the limit. Both sides had come to know their opponent perfectly, understood them completely.

At the same time, they could feel that during this prolonged fierce battle, their opponent’s power had been steadily declining, their state constantly falling, growing increasingly “weak,” no longer strong enough.

And when this decline in strength reached a certain limit, both of them stopped at the same time.

“All moves have been exhausted, power has reached its limit.” Zhang Yu said calmly. “Kuang Tianqing, it’s time to decide the outcome.”

Kuang Tianqing nodded: "Even with our foundations, our current state has dropped to the limit. Zhang Yu, are you ready to lose?"

Looking at the Zhang Yu before him, Kuang Tianqing couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise.

With the power infusion from the many top students of the four Heavenly Demon schools, Kuang Tianqing had thought that not only would his power be the greatest among all students from the ten schools, but his endurance and stamina would also absolutely surpass all university students.

Yet, unexpectedly, after ten hours of fierce fighting and ten hours of relentless combat, the Zhang Yu before him showed no sign of falling behind, as if an endless reserve of strength and potential kept erupting from deep within his body.

Zhang Yu also looked at Kuang Tianqing with equal surprise, never imagining that even after he had unleashed all his various ultimate techniques, the other party could still hold on until now.

His Earthwood Sacred Body gave his physical injuries a stronger defensive capability.

By occasionally switching to the Qi Meridian Continuous Flow, combined with the linked effect of his dual spiritual roots, his magical power could also recover rapidly.

Coupled with the enhancement from his dual spiritual roots, Zhang Yu grew stronger and braver with every battle.

"It seems... in the end, I'll have to use that move."
