Slayer of Gods: I lied; I became the agent of the Nine Gods.

Several boys nearby heard this and immediately tried to look up.

As Lin Qiye looked up, he quickly raised his hand to hold the water glass above his head. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard two sounds of glass shattering beside him.

Fatty looked innocently at the water glass on the ground, a few drops of water still clinging to his face, then looked at Lin Qiye with a tearful expression: "I... I just couldn't help it..."

Cao Yuan stood up with some annoyance, picked up the broken glass from the ground, and then shook the book that was soaked through his hands.

Only An Qingyu and Jialan remained present, maintaining their composure and suppressing their curiosity, refraining from making any rash moves.

After Zhou Ping watched Lu Yu stand up, he walked over to the two people who had dropped their cups, picked up the water cups he had prepared earlier from the ground, and handed them to them.

"Next, squat down and read the book."

Hearing the Sword Saint's attitude, which was different from his gentle demeanor in front of Lu Yu, and even sounded somewhat serious, the two boys didn't say much. They squatted down, picked up their water cups, carefully placed them on their heads, and continued reading.

Lu Yu had just sympathized with them for three seconds, but when she saw Zhou Ping take out a long sword from a sword box and walk over, tears began to stream down her face.

She still has the leisure to sympathize with them?

If only I hadn't courted death... *sobs*

Resigned to their fate, Lu Yu and Zhou Ping took out the newborn creature that she had just put into her Qiankun bag, and began their competition in the open space in front of the group.

"What state are you in now?"

Zhou Ping wasn't sure of the girl's exact rank, so he could only ask.

"I will suppress my strength to a level similar to yours, and then you can attack me with all your might."

Lu Yu turned sideways, drew his sword from its sheath with a backhand motion, looked at Zhou Ping, and suddenly laughed. His hand trembled, and then, the sound of rushing water was heard—

The silver-white knife transformed into a cold, sharp sword right before my eyes.

The blade has light gold openwork near the hilt, and wisps of dark red mist with a ghostly blue light emanate from the girl's hand, spreading into the concave string patterns on the blade, forming a strange and malevolent sword face.

"At the pinnacle of the Sea Realm, Lu Yu..."

The girl slightly twirled her sword in mid-air, creating a casual yet natural sword flourish.

"Teacher Zhou, please give me your guidance."

Zhou Ping's eyes were slightly gleaming, and he could naturally see that Lu Yu's hand gesture at that moment was by no means that of a novice.

"You know swordsmanship?"

Zhou Ping asked the same question that was on the minds of his teammates sitting to the side.

Lin Qiye: No, we haven't been apart for very long, have we?

How come you can use a sword as soon as you come back?

I should have given Qi Yuan to you!

"I only know a little bit..."

The girl pursed her lips shyly, and then unexpectedly raised her sword and charged at Zhou Ping the next second.

A faint smile appeared on Zhou Ping's face at some point.

He lightly parried the attack from Lu Yu with his sword.

There's some effort, but it's too little...

The young man thought about it for a moment and silently made a mental note of it.

The girl vanished in the blink of an eye, only to attack him from behind again the next moment.

Zhou Ping blocked again with his backhand—

Each time after that, Lu Yu created chaos for Zhou Ping from various tricky angles. Instead of eliminating her with a single blow, Zhou Ping patiently increased the intensity of his defenses against Lu Yu's attacks time and time again.

Subtly, the girl also began to try her best to squeeze out her potential, gradually increasing her strength.

"Old Fish... why don't you tell me why Little Deer doesn't use her forbidden realm and those special abilities?"

Baili Pangpang, holding the water glass on his head, asked An Qingyu without moving his head.

An Qingyu kept her eyes glued to the book, only sighing, "Fatty, just say so if you think we have nowhere to stay tonight."

"??? Why?"

"Are those divine ruins of hers something to be used casually? They either have no offensive power at all, or they're deadly if used. What's more, if she were to use that ability that utilizes the interaction of gravity and repulsion here, our warehouse would definitely blow up."

Lin Qiye explained a few times in an annoyed manner, then, with the water cup still balanced on his head, he carefully shifted his body to find an angle from which he could observe the battle ahead, and stopped.

"I never expected that she would wake up from a nap and find herself at the peak of the Sea Realm..."

"yes……"

Aside from Fatty's breakthrough, the other teenagers who hadn't yet reached the Sea Realm all sighed at the same time.

Jialan calmly replied, "Little Deer, impressive!"

…………

No matter how Lu Yu attacked, he couldn't land a hit on Zhou Ping. In addition, he was already a bit tired from constantly using teleportation.

"...There's no need to hold back..."

Zhou Ping took a step back, his tone still calm, as if he were not tired at all.

"You've learned more than just this."

Judging from the countless attacks, Lu Yu's moves are consistent, indicating that he must have learned them, but it's unclear from whom he learned them.

But Zhou Ping was certain that Lu Yu hadn't used many of his abilities yet; he was just attacking with a lot of basic skills.

"...No, let's not..."

The girl was stopped again, and hesitated as she retreated helplessly.

"What if I don't stop...?"

Zhou Ping calmly shook his head: "I will stop it."

The key isn't whether you can stop them or not...

The girl sighed, forced to halt her attack, and looked down at the sword in her hand, her mind replaying the sword strike she had landed against the Divine Cult—

"Over millions of years, all things have vanished, leaving only time, the most ruthless thing, but you should also remember... no matter how the world changes..."

That sword pierced the sky, broke through the clouds, fell before the sun, and then never faded away.

"The sun...is eternally unchanging."

The girl looked up at the sword saint before her, finally making up her mind, and raised her longsword—

"My swordsmanship teacher was a god, whose name was Donghuang Taiyi."

"This sword technique was taught to me by my teacher. Although I have only learned the basics, I would like to ask the Sword Saint for further instruction."

Having said that, he held the long sword in his hand upright in front of his forehead. The next second, a golden halo flashed, and intangible feathers scattered. The sword pierced out, leaving scorched marks in its path, and reached the Zhouping Gate.

Zhou Ping looked at the attack rushing towards him and smiled—a genuine, heartfelt joy.

"it is good!"

Holding the sword, he assessed the strike taught by the god, only to be shocked to discover that even with his strength suppressed to the Sea Realm, he still had to use nearly 80% of his power to barely block it.

Thinking of this, he secretly rejoiced as he unleashed his sword energy towards Lu Yu:

The fawn has grown up... That's wonderful...

That way, at least I won't suffer any injustices when I'm out...
