Chapter 323: The True Meaning of the Laws! The Arrival of the Venerable!

~7 min read 1,236 words

In the evening, Bai Jing and Sister Zhuge Chaoyue strolled through the quiet depths of the campus.

"How about it? Are you confident for tomorrow?"

"To be honest, no!"

"Although we are tied, it cannot be denied that she is a bit stronger than me."

"One year means nothing to ordinary people, but for us, it is enough to widen the gap."

"I have the support of superpowers, and she has the assistance of Dragon-Controlling Power; in terms of special abilities, we are evenly matched!"

"Of course, there is a slight gap, but it is not enough for her to suppress me."

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue rarely revealed his true feelings.

"It's fine; if I don't meet you in the finals, then~ I'll avenge you!"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue couldn't help but smile. "Stop bragging. If I can't do it, you definitely can't!"

"Don't disbelieve me; you haven't seen my true strength yet!"

"I really don't know where this mysterious confidence comes from. Do you know how big the gap is between a Heavenly King and a Quasi-Heavenly King? Let alone Long Shaoyun, you might not even pass the hurdle of Lu Shuai."

"Do you mean he has already entered this level?"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue didn't answer, instead saying, "Everyone knows that to become a Heavenly King, a Quasi-Heavenly King must comprehend the Laws, but do you know how to comprehend them?"

"I really don't know that!"

Because I have the Legendary Stone Tablet, I comprehended them naturally; it was very simple, with none of the troubles others face.

So is lying flat my fault?

"Experience. Without sufficient experience, one simply cannot comprehend the true meaning of the Laws!"

"Students are students because they live in ivory towers; those who do not step out into society to temper themselves will never take this step."

"But I am different; I grew up in the army!"

"Do you know? I started executing missions at twelve; I have experienced many life-and-death crises. That is the origin of my Major's rank."

"I accumulated it merit by merit, without relying on my family's connections even a little."

"And Long Shaoyun is the same! You have seen her great halberd; that is not for playing around. It has felled no small number of people."

Good heavens, no wonder the two are called the Peerless Twin Beauties; they actually have such a wonderful growth process.

Indeed, success has no luck!

What was I doing at twelve?

Playing in the mud was unlikely, but I was also mischievous everywhere, teasing decent women.

Compared to them, I am truly ashamed!

"I never doubt your strength, but what does that have to do with a pretty boy?"

"He is not a pretty boy; his life resume is also wonderful."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Although Bai Jing loved to tease people with his words, in battle, he never underestimated any opponent.

This was his way of dealing with the world: facing everything with a playful smile!

Because he felt that since Heaven arranged for him to live two lives, wouldn't it be a disservice to himself if he didn't live happily?

"The moment he was born, his parents abandoned him at an orphanage..."

"Ah? That's so miserable?"

"Listen to me finish!"

"Okay, go on."

"At five, the orphanage that adopted him went bankrupt. From then on, he wandered the streets, fighting stray dogs for food. At seven, he was kidnapped by human traffickers and lived a hellish life for half a year. In the end, he not only escaped through his own alertness but also led the police to raid the traffickers' den."

"Only then did he receive proper placement, began studying elf knowledge, and walked step by step to where he is today!"

Bai Jing smacked his lips. "Is this guy a Star-Cursed Lone Star?"

"Is that the only thing you focus on?"

"I know what you want to say! Only after suffering hardships does one understand the beauty of what one possesses, learning to cherish and strive for it."

"He has talent and perseverance, and now he has joined a great power; his future is limitless. Is that what you want to say?"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, this person's future achievement will be at least a Heavenly King."

"Alright, I admit he is a powerful opponent; I won't let my guard down!"

Yet, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Lu Shuai's life experience is a typical tragic protagonist's. If he really ends up marrying Long Shaoyun and becoming the champion, wouldn't that be the most perfect underdog comeback, reaching the peak of life!

Forget it; whether he is a protagonist or not, in front of a transmigrator with a cheat, everything is trash!

"By the way, my grandmother is coming to watch the match tomorrow!"

"Ah?"

This news truly caught Bai Jing off guard!

"What are you 'ah'-ing about? Remember to perform well!"

"This... can we negotiate with your grandma?"

"Negotiate what?"

"About not moving into your family!"

"Go die!"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue turned away in embarrassment and anger!

"Don't go; let's negotiate some more!"

"Getting married is no problem, and living at your house is fine, but the children must take my surname!"

"Also, you must be filial to my parents; I am their only son, although there will be many daughters-in-law..."

"Get lost!"

Early the next morning, the entire main arena was packed to the rafters; students from this academy and from others could only be described as a sea of people.

"Students, before the match begins, I have one piece of earth-shattering news to announce!"

Feng Chengxiang popped out again, even more worked up and excited than last time.

The students couldn't help muttering—was some big shot coming again?

"Today we have two heavyweight guests in attendance. The fact that they could come watch today's match is the greatest honor for Longdu University and for every one of us!"

Sure enough!

Last time it was the top Breeder Zhen Xing; who could it be this time?

"They are two of the only three Sovereigns our Dragon Nation has—the Dragon Sovereign and the Super Sovereign!"

The students dug at their ears—who did he just say?

No way! Those two actually came!

They are the pinnacle of Dragon Nation… no, the pinnacle of all humanity, the highest point a Trainer can reach, existences everyone must look up to!

It's no exaggeration to say Sovereigns are legends, are myths!

But once they thought of the clash between Long Shaoyun and Sister Zhuge Chaoyue, everyone could understand why these two had shown up.

"Let us welcome the two Sovereigns with thunderous applause!"

For a moment applause rang to the skies; the students, while clapping wildly, all craned their necks toward the high platform.

Under everyone's anticipation, a middle-aged man of imposing, dignified bearing, and an elegant, regal beauty, accompanied respectively by Long Shaoyun and Sister Zhuge Chaoyue, walked out together!

The atmosphere instantly reached its peak; the students screamed madly, their frenzied manner even more exaggerated than seeing their own idols.

Bai Jing, who was hiding at the aisle entrance sneaking a look, wore a face of utter disbelief.

The looks and bearing of these two were naturally dragons and phoenixes among men; the key was they were far too young, looking to be only just over forty.

They're actually of the grandparents' generation? You've got to be kidding!
