Chapter 307: Wu Changsheng, the Supreme Saint of Martial Arts!

~17 min read 3,212 words

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai understood why the young girl had once been called "the one who walks the path of the Succubus, leaving the Succubus with no path to walk."

So, she was a real Succubus!

It was even because her bloodline was too high-level.

Even when practicing Martial Dao, and later when all the students had their Martial Arts Talent awakened, they were all disguised by the unconscious activation of Zhou Yao's bloodline ability!

Where had she ever been using a Charm talent?

It was clearly a pure racial ability...

But as mentioned, Zhou Yao was only disguising herself unconsciously.

In reality, because of her experiences from childhood to adulthood, she had always firmly believed that she was a human!

This was the reason why Zhou Yao, despite possessing the purest Succubus bloodline, had such slow growth in strength before.

"Then, when did you discover that you were a Succubus?" Ye Bai asked, his eyes complex.

"After the fall of Jiangcheng..." Zhou Yao's next words let Ye Bai know everything Zhou Yao had experienced after the Ladder Tournament ended and everyone had headed off to their respective Martial University.

She had gone to Haicheng Martial Arts University.

And as it turned out, after Jiangcheng fell, it wasn't Li Qingqing and the others who returned to Jiangcheng first.

It was Zhou Yao!

Because her foster parents were still in Jiangcheng! She was still worried about the instructors of the Genius Camp!

She remembered even more that Qin Churan, who was very important to Ye Bai, was still in Jiangcheng!

As a result, the moment she arrived at the ruins of Jiangcheng, she was teleported away...

Those two Seventh-Grade Succubi that had destroyed Jiangcheng!

They hadn't left, because when they destroyed the city, they were pleasantly surprised to discover the aura of their race's Saintess, and thus took a huge risk to hide outside the ruins!

Not only that, Zhou Yao's foster parents were even still alive.

Because the two of them had a very dense aura of Zhou Yao on them, the two Succubus Kings had spared their lives!

"Then, I followed them, left Great Xia through the Dimensional Gate, and returned to the Succubus Race!"

Zhou Yao stopped there.

After hearing Zhou Yao's description, although the latter's tone had been calm throughout, as if she were talking about someone else's experience, Ye Bai listened.

Moreover, in such a short time, the extent of Zhou Yao's strength increase was not insignificant; she was already Seventh Grade now.

One must know, Zhou Yao was a student of the same cohort as him.

And apart from him, who had always persisted and worked hard, and Li Qingqing, who had opened a massive cheat, even Zhu Huang, who had obtained multiple opportunities within the Yiji, was still at the Sixth-rank Realm now!

"Is it painful?" He still couldn't help but let out a long sigh!

"In the Succubus Race, all the Succubi are very good to me, and I can have priority access to any resources.

The Elder grandfather even treats me like his own granddaughter."

"Not only that, although my parents are human, they are living very well in the Succubus Race now. They, who originally had mediocre talent and were only Third-Grade Martial Artists, are already close to the Five-Rank Realm. The Elder grandfather's intention is to raise them all the way to the Seventh Grade, so they have a long enough lifespan to stay with me."

Zhou Yao said.

"I am asking you, during this time, in your heart, are you doing well?" The strange look in Ye Bai's eyes grew even more intense.

Because he could guess how painful it was for Zhou Yao when she first learned she wasn't human.

Her willingness to follow the two Succubus Kings back to the Succubus Race was clearly not because she had accepted the facts, but only because her parents were alive and had been sent back to the Succubus Race a step ahead.

The reason Zhou Yao wanted to chat with him wasn't just because of their previous relationship.

During this time, there was no one who could listen to her pour out her heart!

"I'm, I'm doing well..." Zhou Yao's gaze flickered.

"Alright, stop lying to me."

"I am giving you a chance to choose now."

Ye Bai estimated the time, and his gaze toward Zhou Yao was very serious.

"As long as you nod, I can take you back to Great Xia!

At the same time, I guarantee that your parents will be fine and can safely return to Great Xia!"

Zhou Yao was stunned, "Ye Bai..."

The other two Alien Races sensed something was wrong. Damn it, it was agreed that Zhou Yao was just chatting with Ye Bai to save them from having to fight Ye Bai to the death, so why was Ye Bai poaching a Succubus without a word?

Crucially, looking at Zhou Yao's appearance, she was actually a bit tempted?!

"Ye Bai, you..." They spoke up immediately, wanting to interrupt Ye Bai.

"Shut up!"

Before they could finish, Ye Bai turned his head abruptly and stared at them intensely!

His Domain was fully opened!

Blood Armor Attachment!

The God-Slaying Spear had already appeared!

The Immortal Qi was also ready to go, waiting to be activated at any time!

A terrifying shock!

The two Alien Races only then suddenly realized.

No matter how much they had overestimated Ye Bai, they had actually still underestimated him!

Both being Seventh Grade, no matter how pure their bloodlines were, they were not the same grade of Seventh Grade as Ye Bai!

With such long-term persistence and effort, Ye Bai could already be called invincible among his peers. After Ye Bai forged his unprecedented Immortal Golden Body and mastered the various abilities exchanged from the system, he was now, even with his Golden Body forging progress at 1%, truly no worse than a real Eighth Grade!

However, Ye Bai had no intention of doing anything to the two Alien Races; he just felt they were a bit noisy.

And he also knew that even if his Seventh Grade was comparable to Eighth Grade, he certainly couldn't make the Zhou Yao in front of him believe he had the ability to fulfill his promise.

"Wu Zhangsheng, come out!"

"I know that you, as you are now, can reveal yourself!"

Ye Bai continued!

Jiansheng had said that after he entered the Different Space, he only needed to stall for a few minutes; the time was almost up.

"Hehe, Master, how did you know I was Jiansheng's backup plan?"

That Guogaitou appeared beside Ye Bai and scratched his head as he spoke.

"What time is it, and you're still putting on an act?"

Ye Bai rolled his eyes.

"Zhou Yao, let me introduce you; this is my disciple, the kind who listens to everything I say.

At the same time, he is also the Martial Saint."

He continued, speaking to Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao was initially confused.

Because she felt that even if Ye Bai was comparable to a Martial Saint, and there was also this Wu Zhangsheng—a Martial Saint who had not participated in the battle outside and could enter the Different Space opened by the Shoushen Zhizi without anyone noticing—

he still couldn't even settle the battle outside.

Let alone rescue her foster parents and bring them back to Great Xia together!

"The Martial Saint I'm talking about doesn't refer to the realm."

Ye Bai added another sentence.

"Swish!" Zhou Yao's pupils shrank violently!

Great Xia had four pillars, known as the Four Saints.

Sometimes they were also called the Four Supreme Saints.

Among the Four Saints, there was one Martial Saint, the Supreme Saint of Martial Arts!

It is said that when the Martial Saint first stepped into the Martial King Realm, many people who were unaware still felt that the Martial Saint—who was a Martial King at the time—should change his title.

After all, it overlapped with the Seventh Grade and even the later Eighth Grade Realm titles that were established just as the High Martial Era began.

However, facts told everyone that the reason the Martial Saint's title was "Martial" was because, apart from the word "Martial," no other title was worthy of him!

This was the unanimous view of the Human Race's top brass at the time!

Because he was not only the most extreme existence in terms of pure martial power, even among the Four Saints.

At that time, ninety-nine percent of the Martial Techniques in the Great Xia Martial Arts Technique Library were contributed by the Martial Saint! Even until the Martial Saint reached the Eighth Grade Peak and Great Xia had many powerhouses above the Grandmaster level, the Martial Techniques contributed by the Martial Saint still accounted for over seventy percent!

In other words, if the Martial Saint had been willing, then and even now, all Martial Artists in Great Xia would have to call the Martial Saint "Master"...

He was the towering mountain at the end of the Human Race's Martial Dao!

One "Martial" suppressed Great Xia!

And since his title was "Martial," even if it were to be changed, it would be the titles of the Human Race's Seventh Grade and Eighth Grade that would be changed!

And yet, it wasn't changed; it is said that it was because the top brass in Great Xia who had the most hope of becoming Seventh Grade at the time felt that it was good if they were the same!

Under the same circumstances, by the time they reached the Seventh Grade, Wu Zhangsheng's reputation would have already spread, and they could just use this title to intimidate the Alien Race!

They were equivalent to Wu Zhangsheng; it was simply exhilarating!

It is said that the reason the Human Race was able to hold on and not collapse in the early stages was also because quite a few Alien Races were indeed miserably tricked by the top brass at the time...

Back to the main point.

"Martial, Martial Saint?!"

Looking at the plain-looking Wu Zhangsheng, Zhou Yao completely lost her composure; she felt it was unbelievable!

"Master, how did you guess I was the Martial Saint?" Wu Zhangsheng scratched his head again.

"I guessed it long ago, but I wasn't sure before. It wasn't until inside the Yiji, after I came out of the Palace, that I learned from Zhang Wei that you had wanted to make a move more than once."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Yiji is an Alien Race conspiracy. You—no, I should say the other three Saints—had already guessed it, right? I am the backup plan of the Radical Faction, and you are the backup plan of Great Xia. Even if I couldn't kill the Six Alien Races, not a single Great Xia prodigy would die inside, right?"

"And the one who came wasn't a clone, but the real body, just like Jiansheng?"

Ye Bai said indifferently.

Yes, the one outside was Jiansheng's real body.

And he had originally thought that after encountering the Alien Race army, Wu Zhangsheng didn't make a move because he wasn't the real body, until a sound transmission from Jiansheng made him realize that the one Wu Zhangsheng sent was also his real body.

"Hehe, that is indeed the case."

"But Master, don't worry, my becoming your disciple is sincere!" While scratching his head again, Wu Zhangsheng remembered something and hurriedly tried to prove it.

This conversation made Zhou Yao completely certain of Wu Zhangsheng's identity!

At the same time, she also felt that Great Xia was crazy, too crazy!

So the Jiansheng outside wasn't a clone, but the real body!

So of the four Supreme Saints, only two real bodies were actually left at the Defense Great Wall, and the other two were just clones!

Was Great Xia not afraid of causing a major problem?!

"Now, you should be able to believe that I can not only bring you back to Great Xia, but also bring your foster parents back to Great Xia, right?"

Ye Bai asked Zhou Yao again.

"I believe!" Zhou Yao looked at Wu Zhangsheng to the side and, discovering that the Guogaitou youth indeed had the idea of abducting a Succubus Saintess back to Great Xia, finally nodded!

"That's good, tell me, what is your choice!" Ye Bai asked again.

"I choose...

to stay with the Succubus Race!"

Although Zhou Yao was clearly unhappy in her heart, her eyes dimmed at this moment.

"Why?" Even Ye Bai was surprised.

"Because, in the end, I am a Succubus..." Zhou Yao's single sentence made Ye Bai understand.

Those not of our race must have a different heart...

Ye Bai understood because Zhou Yao had lived as a human for eighteen years; he saw her struggle and believed she was willing to be an ordinary human.

Wu Zhangsheng was also willing to give Zhou Yao this chance.

However, the others in Great Xia might not necessarily believe Zhou Yao!

Covering up Zhou Yao's true identity was also difficult, because she had been missing for so long, and after she returned to Great Xia, the Succubus Race would certainly act out of desperation...

"Won't you try..." Of course, it was impossible to let Ye Bai just give up like this.

However, Zhou Yao did not speak again.

"Master, forget it."

"Actually, it might be a good thing for Zhou Yao to stay with her foster parents in the Succubus Race."

Wu Zhangsheng thought for a moment at this point and added.

"How so?" Ye Bai knew that what Wu Zhangsheng was about to say must be related to the Jiansheng—no, the Four Saints—going to great lengths to lure out the three, including Zhou Yao.

"Master, let me explain while I act; there isn't much time left..."

As Wu Zhangsheng spoke, he clapped his small hands.

The entire Different Space began to experience an anomaly!

"Swish, swish!" Chains suddenly appeared all around the Different Space, locking the entire space tight!

This was an array; the reason Jiansheng wanted Ye Bai to buy a few minutes for the Martial Saint, Wu Zhangsheng, was precisely to set up this array!

The moment the array appeared, Wu Zhangsheng's fingers pointed out sharply, striking the foreheads of Zhou Yao and the other two members of the Alien Race in succession!

It could be seen that their eyes became dull at the same time.

Then, three phantom shadows suddenly emerged from behind them, trying to take Zhou Yao and the others away, only to be blocked by the array.

Three angry shouts rang out from the phantom shadows that had suddenly appeared behind Zhou Yao and the others!

"Martial Saint!?"

"Damn it, what do you want to do to our race's Saintess (Saint Son/Shoushen Zhizi)?!"

"A Seal-Suppressing Great Array capable of sealing an Eighth Grade Peak—do you want to fight to the death with our Three Great Alien Races today!"

Wu Zhangsheng paid no heed to their roars; his gaze simply turned cold as he waved his hands.

"Martial Technique Sword Technique!"

"Gale Slash!"

One by one, Martial Techniques with power so great it made Ye Bai's heart tremble—techniques that could be called world-destroying—were casually unleashed by Wu Zhangsheng, striking at the three phantom shadows!

Yet the three phantom shadows were also extremely powerful, and they actually received Wu Zhangsheng's attacks with ease!

"Master, let me introduce the owners of these three phantom shadows to you; they are the true leaders of the Three Great Alien Races, three old monsters who have reached the absolute peak of the Eighth Grade Realm."

However, Wu Zhangsheng clearly had strength in reserve; he still had the energy to talk to Ye Bai while fighting.

"And then, there is the reason why the four of us, knowing the Yiji might be a trap, decided to play along with their scheme.

Just one year ago, that Dansheng who spends all day tinkering with all sorts of strange gadgets..."

Then, Wu Zhangsheng told Ye Bai everything in detail.

It turned out that the Dansheng had inadvertently learned that the Three Great Alien Races were about to welcome the arrival of an even more powerful Alien Race!

The Four Saints immediately attached immense importance to this!

Even though this news only came from a sound suddenly emitted by one of the Dansheng's creations, they could neither confirm the truth of the news nor even know who the owner of the voice was!

Just like back then, when they only vaguely probed the birth of the three, including Zhou Yao, and unhesitatingly hoped to wipe out the Three Great Alien Races, they could not tolerate the hard-won situation collapsing!

However, after so much time had passed, even though the Four Saints had secretly captured Alien Emperors, they had never been able to extract any news about a more powerful Alien Race...

"But the less we could find a trace of evidence, the more we felt the problem was greater.

In the end, we set our sights on the Saint Son and the Shoushen Zhizi, in addition to Zhou Yao."

"Yes, although the fact that they didn't die back then was hidden very well, and they hadn't appeared for so many years, we still found out.

And because of their special nature, the three old immortals of the three races were even willing to pay a great price to divide part of their origin to protect them, under the condition that they would never leave the Alien Race territory.

The three old immortals might hide things from other members of the Alien Race, even Emperors, but they would absolutely tell them everything about the Three Great Alien Races..."

Wu Zhangsheng continued.

The matter was simple and clear up to this point.

It was impossible to lure out the three Alien Races, who basically stayed in the depths of the Alien Race territory, using ordinary means.

Only when Great Xia fell into an absolute disadvantage, and the Three Great Alien Races felt that Great Xia could no longer turn the tables but could not spare more living forces, would they use the three, including Zhou Yao!

The Yiji happened to appear...

Thus, there was the trip to the Yiji by the various geniuses, and Wu Zhangsheng, following the Wensheng's intentions, guided Ye Bai into the Yiji openly and secretly, while he himself accompanied him in his true form...

Thus, there were the crises Great Xia faced one after another, including the current one, which at first glance looked like an absolute disadvantage for Great Xia...

Plus the fact that the Alien Race was unwilling to kill Ye Bai!

The risks during this period were undeniably high.

Because whether it was Wu Zhangsheng being forced to act inside the Yiji, or the defensive line failing before Ye Bai successfully lured the three, including Zhou Yao, Great Xia would face a massive loss of strength!

However, Great Xia had been able to come this far precisely because it had been exchanged for time and again of risking their lives, fearless of death.

Moreover, from the moment Ye Bai was forcibly pulled into the Different Space.

It already meant that this grand game of the Four Saints had been played to the end!
