I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Young Master Zhu Xun certainly wouldn't take a loss, but now he felt that if he could fill up with Flood Dragon meat, well… he wouldn't be at a loss! Even if he turned into a toad, he wouldn't be at a loss!

Zhang Chen heard this and glanced at Zhu Xun, his words full of mockery: "What do I owe you? You couldn't resist the temptation and insisted on going, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhu Xun wasn't one to take a loss, but Zhang Chen was even less so.

"I don't care, I went because I heard the rumors you spread, you have to take responsibility for me! You have to take the blame."

Zhu Xun's voice was full of impatience.

The two argued all the way, attracting frequent attention from passersby, who wondered who was with Zhu Xun, as the two argued red-faced.

Only Zhang Chen was wearing a bamboo hat, and no one knew Zhang Chen's identity.

The two walked into the academy, where academy disciples were already waiting in the mountains to guide them to a plaza.

In the center of the plaza was a platform, about thirty square feet in size, with benches scattered around below.

At this time, many scholars were already sitting on the benches, whispering in small groups.

As Zhu Xun approached, the scholars in the field stopped whispering, and one by one stood up and saluted Zhu Xun.

"Looks like you still have some semblance of a human being, as if you're something! Where do we sit?" Zhang Chen glanced at the scholars who were greeting Zhu Xun, then looked at Zhu Xun.

"Sit anywhere." Zhu Xun's mouth twitched when he heard Zhang Chen's words, too lazy to argue with him to avoid losing face. He replied unhappily, then led Zhang Chen to find a seat in the front row.

"If Chen Sanliang loses, what will you do? Will you kill Chen Sanliang?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Break his Dao heart, making it impossible for him to recover for seven or eight years. With seven or eight years, someone will naturally thoroughly study his knowledge, even surpass him, and replace him." A hint of greed appeared in the Little Master's eyes: "This is the knowledge of becoming a sage. Throughout history, only Master Kong has been a sage. Who wouldn't be envious?"

As the two were talking, people continued to enter the arena one after another, especially from the Pingbian Prince's Mansion. A middle-aged scholar, dressed neatly and properly, looked about forty years old, but had feminine features, looking almost like a woman, even more beautiful than ordinary women.

This person greeted Little Master Zhu Xun from afar, and Little Master Zhu Xun had no choice but to stand up and go forward to chat.

Zhang Chen glanced over and saw Zhang Xiaohua of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion, as well as many scholars he didn't recognize. Zhang Xiaohua was disfigured, her face full of pitted scars, and one ear was gone, looking quite hideous. At this time, she went up to greet Zhu Xun, and Zhu Xun exchanged a few words with the middle-aged scholar before returning to Zhang Chen's side and saying, "Did you see that scholar?"

"Of course, who is this person? Why do you treat him like this?" Zhang Chen asked in surprise.

"One of the most famous scholars in the world: Fifth Master Liu. He is the top strategist of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion, knowing astronomy and geography, his foundation is unfathomable! I know you have some skills, but if you encounter him in the future, you need to run as far as you can. This person has obtained an ancient divine object, with mysterious and unpredictable power, even Yang God real people are afraid of him." The Little Master said.

Zhang Chen looked at Fifth Master Liu carefully again: "He is Zhang Xiaohua's teacher?"

His Dharma eyes opened, and sure enough, he saw a white light flashing around him. The white light flickered with sharpness, with a metallic luster, and even just looking at it, he couldn't help but feel a burst of pain.

"The Pingbian Prince's Mansion is really not simple, what is the cultivation level of this Fifth Master Liu?" Zhang Chen asked.

"His cultivation level is not much different from mine." Zhu Xun said.

"That is the Great Perfection of the Yin God, comprehending a trace of pure Yang true meaning? It's really not simple." Zhang Chen muttered.

At this time, Zhang Chen's eyes rolled: "What do you say if we absorb all the experts from the Pingbian Prince's Mansion into the tomb, what will happen?"

Zhu Xun was shocked when he heard this: "Boy, don't cause trouble! I still want to live a few more years!"

Zhang Chen saw Zhu Xun's frightened look, but didn't continue to speak. He made up his mind to make a big move later, to shock everyone.

Before long, he saw Chen Sanliang walking in from the outside. At this time, his clothes were neatly dressed, but his eyes were a little red and swollen, and his dark circles were very obvious, looking like he had stayed up for several nights.

Zhang Chen saw Chen Sanliang's disciple, Chai Chuanxin, who followed Chen Sanliang without changing his expression.

Beside him was his master, Han Suzhen, who was dressed in men's clothing today, looking clean, refreshing, and heroic.

Chen Sanliang ascended the high platform, standing on the platform expressionlessly, glancing over the crowd, and finally landing on the Little Master, a look of disdain in his eyes: "Just a rat!"

"You motherfucker…" Zhu Xun was scolded by Chen Sanliang in front of so many people, and immediately couldn't get off the stage, but he had schemed against Chen Sanliang first, so he couldn't get angry, and could only sullenly say: "See how long you can be proud, if you fail in the Dao discussion today, don't blame us for beating a drowning dog."

At this time, the field suddenly became silent, everyone was silent, all curiously looking at Chen Sanliang, who was wearing a meticulous dress on the ring, and Zhu Xun, who was exasperated.

"Since Chen Sanliang has come, why doesn't the Little Master ascend the ring to discuss the Dao?" Someone asked curiously.

"I heard that the academy temporarily changed the person to discuss the Dao, and Fifth Master Liu will replace the Little Master to discuss the Dao."

"So that's how it is." Someone suddenly realized: "Isn't this a feint by the academy? Deliberately misleading Chen Sanliang? Chen Sanliang has been working in vain these days, no wonder he is so angry, and starts scolding as soon as he comes up."

"No wonder the Little Master didn't speak when facing Chen Sanliang's opening spray, it turns out that he has a guilty conscience."

…

Everyone was not a fool, and at this time they were talking about it.

Zhang Chen looked at the Little Master, and saw the Little Master sitting there lightly, as if he didn't hear everyone's discussion, and couldn't help but curiously ask:

"Aren't you ashamed?"

"Ashamed of what? I didn't suffer a loss! This is a conspiracy, Chen Sanliang, he has the ability to change people! Besides, they are discussing their things, can they come up and bite me?" Zhu Xun said plausibly, his words justified.

Zhang Chen was speechless, this guy's skin is thicker than the city wall, he is really a top-quality product.

Just when everyone was talking about it, suddenly someone shouted:

"Fifth Master Liu is here!"

As the words rang out, everyone looked towards the gate, and saw several figures walking from the direction of the gate. The leader was an old man in his sixties, with white hair and beard. He was wearing luxurious clothes, with Confucian chapters imprinted on the clothes. The whole person was like a walking scripture, looking very eye-catching.

Behind the old man were eight young men in their thirties, looking like his disciples, serving him respectfully.

"Senior brother, you're finally here." Zhu Xun saw the old man, put away his carefree appearance and walked up.

"I was delayed by something on the way." Fifth Master Liu said.

"Hurry up and go up, defeat that mad student as soon as possible, let's go back and drink tea earlier." Zhu Xun said.

Fifth Master Liu nodded when he heard this, and slowly walked towards the high platform, but before he could step onto the high platform, a figure blocked his way.

It was Han Suzhen!

Han Suzhen, dressed in men's clothing, stood in front of Fifth Master Liu, and respectfully called out: "Fifth Master."

Fifth Master Liu looked at Han Suzhen, a trace of reminiscence in his eyes: "It's you, girl, we haven't seen each other for some years."

"I hope we never meet again in this lifetime." Han Suzhen said.

"It's good to never meet, but you also know that many things are not up to us." Fifth Master Liu said helplessly.

"But you can do one thing, and that is to leave the ring." Han Suzhen said.

"Impossible! This matter concerns the grand plan of my academy, even if your grandfather comes here in person, he can't make me leave." Fifth Master Liu shook his head: "You should step aside, the general trend is like this and cannot be avoided, it is definitely not something that individual strength can stop."

"Really can't go back?" Han Suzhen said.

Fifth Master Liu shook his head, bypassed Han Suzhen, and continued to walk towards the ring, but just as the two passed by, Han Suzhen made a move.

A sharp dagger appeared in Han Suzhen's hand at some point, and then the dagger cut through the void, stabbing towards Fifth Master Liu.

Master Wu's body surged with righteous energy, his soul force flowing, intending to defend. However, Han Suzhen's blood and Qi erupted, actually shattering Master Wu's protective soul force. Master Wu felt a dizzy spell, and a dagger was already at his neck.

Han Suzhen had actually cultivated blood and Qi!

"Han Suzhen, what are you doing? Do you want to become an enemy of my academy?" Seeing the sudden change, Little Master became anxious.

No one had expected that Han Suzhen had actually cultivated blood and Qi, and was also a martial arts grandmaster.

"Master Wu's strength should be at the peak of the Yin Spirit stage, yet to give birth to pure Yang Qi. His cultivation progress is even slightly behind Little Master," Zhang Chen judged in his heart as he watched the change in the arena.

"If the path of the Divine Soul doesn't prove the Yang Spirit, being suddenly approached by a martial artist who has cultivated blood and Qi is terrible! The current Master Wu is an example. A dignified Yin Spirit at its peak, facing a martial arts master who has just cultivated martial arts blood and Qi, can't even use his skills and has a knife held to his neck. This Divine Soul path is better left uncultivated; my magic power is better. As long as my Golden Talisman and Silver Talisman are unleashed, whether you are martial arts or Divine Soul, as long as your cultivation is not as good as mine, I will stick them on you to suppress you," Zhang Chen slandered inwardly.

Of course, if Master Wu could create distance, giving the Yin Spirit a chance to leave the body, Han Suzhen would be worn down and die. But the key now is that Han Suzhen has already closed in on Master Wu, and the Yin Spirit doesn't dare to leave the body at all. If the action of leaving the body provokes Han Suzhen, before he can complete the process, her knife will stab into his neck, and that would be a truly suffocating death.

Cultivators of the Divine Soul path, from leaving the body to controlling objects and possessing them, all require the soul to leave the body. Only upon reaching the Yin Spirit realm can they interfere with matter without the soul leaving the body, but the strength they can exert is only about one-tenth. This little bit of strength cannot shake Han Suzhen, who is protected by blood and Qi.

"Han Suzhen, what are you doing?" Little Master Zhu Xun was anxious at this moment. Han Suzhen was his cousin. If she were to cause a major incident, the Han family would definitely be implicated. The academy would never let it go! He was anxious at this time, also to pull Han Suzhen back and find a way to smooth things over.

"You are allowed to play tricks and schemes, but I'm not allowed to use my methods?" Han Suzhen smiled coldly, "I just want Chen Sanliang to have a chance for a fair debate. Please, Little Master, step onto the stage to debate."

Zhu Xun was exasperated and said, "I've never heard of anyone forcibly deciding who debates."

"You haven't heard of it before, that's because there wasn't me. Now that there is me, haven't you heard of it?" Han Suzhen argued plausibly.

"I'll go on stage to debate, you release Master Wu. Master Wu is your elder, don't joke with Master Wu," Zhu Xun glared at Han Suzhen.

"Just go on stage!" Han Suzhen coerced.

A helpless look appeared in Zhu Xun's eyes. He stood up slowly and walked towards the arena, but his movements were very slow. At this time, the guards of the Prince's Mansion, who were watching the venue, secretly gathered from a distance.

"Walk faster!" Han Suzhen said unhappily.

Hearing this, Zhu Xun walked to the foot of the high platform, then stopped and looked up at Chen Sanliang above: "Senior Brother Chen, what do you say?"

Chen Sanliang said expressionlessly: "You also know that I'm a henpecked husband. How can I control what my wife does? This woman is very fierce, you know."

Hearing this, Zhu Xun's teeth itched with anger: "Chen Sanliang, you are a ruthless person. For the victory of the debate, you even sacrificed your wife."

Zhu Xun wasn't stupid. Looking at Chen Sanliang's attitude on the stage and then at Han Suzhen, how could he not know the other party's plan?

After he used a blatant scheme, the other party simply became unreasonable.

"How did Han Suzhen cultivate her blood and Qi?" He was a little puzzled in his heart. His eyes swept across the crowd and looked at Chai Chuanxin. Chai Chuanxin was right under Han Suzhen's nose, yet he missed such important information and made such a mistake. Chai Chuanxin would definitely bear the blame.

Chai Chuanxin exchanged a bitter smile with Zhu Xun. Seeing this, Zhu Xun knew in his heart that there must have been a change.

But now was not the time to investigate the responsibility. The most important thing now was to rescue Master Wu.

Zhu Xun looked at the distance between himself and Han Suzhen, which was only about three steps. He considered himself to have decent martial arts cultivation, so he took a step like a nimble ape and came in front of Han Suzhen, his palm reaching towards Han Suzhen's acupoints.

Those who can be involved in the cultivation of Divine Soul power are all great masters of the Seeing God realm. Although he hadn't ignited his blood and Qi, he could still restrain Han Suzhen.

Faced with Zhu Xun's sneak attack, Han Suzhen couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart. Her blood and Qi surged, and a punch with a fierce wind, the air whistling, smashed towards Zhu Xun.

Since Han Suzhen mobilized her power to fight the enemy, the center of gravity on her body would inevitably change, becoming less stable.

"Attack!"

At this time, the guards of the Prince of Pingbian's Mansion attacked, and hooks and chains flew out from their hands, grabbing towards Han Suzhen's body.

"Do you not want Master Wu's life?" Seeing this, Han Suzhen revealed a fierce look. She pulled Master Wu's body, wanting to use Master Wu to resist, but Master Wu had already proven the Yin Spirit and how could he not understand martial arts? So at this time, he also counterattacked, grabbing towards Han Suzhen's throat with a claw. He didn't believe that Han Suzhen really had the courage to hurt him!

"I don't believe you dare to hurt Master Wu..." Zhu Xun looked at Han Suzhen with a firm look in his eyes: "I don't believe that you would implicate your family for a man..."

"Looking for death!"

Before Zhu Xun could finish speaking, he saw blood splatter, and one of Master Wu's arms was directly cut off and fell to the ground, the blood from the wound spraying out like a fountain.

The blood splattered on the faces of the onlookers nearby, and even Zhu Xun was covered in blood, looking at Han Suzhen in disbelief: "Are you crazy? That's Master Wu!"

"You forced me!" Han Suzhen's clothes were stained with blood, and her eyes were full of fierceness.

"How will the family behind you face the academy's anger? Where have you placed the family?" Little Master's voice was full of disbelief, and his whole body was trembling.

Everyone knew: A major event had occurred!

Master Wu of the academy had actually had an arm cut off. The sky was about to fall!

"I don't care so much. You people are too欺人太甚. We have all hidden in the Northern Lands, but you still refuse to let us go, chasing us all the way, and now you even want to seize my husband's path, taking away the foundation of my husband's holy path, and occupying that eternal fame. I will never allow you robbers to achieve your goals. Even if I die, I will never fulfill you lowly people!" Han Suzhen's voice was full of coldness.

Zhang Chen in the crowd was also stunned at this time, his eyes full of disbelief: "Han Suzhen actually did this for Chen Sanliang?"

Turning his head to look at Chen Sanliang, he saw Chen Sanliang on the high platform clenching his fists, his forehead veins bulging, but he didn't say a word.

Zhang Chen stood silently in the crowd.

"Don't hurt my Shiniang! Don't hurt my Shiniang!"

At this moment, Chai Chuanxin didn't know when he had emerged from the crowd and rushed to Han Suzhen's side: "Shiniang, I'll help you!"

"Chuanxin, don't get involved. You are your Shifu's hard work, bearing the destiny of the lineage. You must not get involved in this kind of thing," Han Suzhen hurriedly dissuaded when she saw Chai Chuanxin rushing over, but she couldn't help but be distracted when she spoke.

At this time, the Fifth and Sixth Masters seized the opportunity to attack. Their Divine Soul controlled objects, and a chain flew up, grabbing towards Han Suzhen.

Han Suzhen's blood and Qi could scatter the soul, but the chain was five or six meters long. The Fifth and Sixth Masters only used their souls to hold one end. Although Han Suzhen's blood and Qi were strong, the range of deterrence was only two meters around her.

Han Suzhen hurriedly raised her fist to face the chain like a spirit snake, leaving her back to Chai Chuanxin, but who knew that in the next moment, a sharp blade tip pierced through Han Suzhen's chest.

The blade tip was bright, and even though it pierced through her chest, it didn't stain a bit of blood.
