Chapter 611: The Healed Bai Zhong

On the crystalline screen, Xing Tian’s body slowly faded before completely disappearing.

Only a handsome man in a white robe remained standing in the image.

All the students were caught in a daze, and they suddenly felt as if the figure on the screen was growing taller and mightier right before their eyes.

“An Lin really won? I’m not dreaming, am I?!”

“Hmm… he really did appear to have won, which means Xing Tian was defeated!”

“I knew God An was bad*ss, but he has completely renewed my impression of him.”

“My God! This is a new record! God An had created a new all-time record for the Immortal Spirit Tower!”

“We are witnessing the rise of a true legend!”

…

All the students became more and more animated as they discussed with one another, and even Tang Ximen couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

“Perhaps I should set a higher target for myself? Perhaps strive for level eighty-one next year?” Tang Ximen muttered all of a sudden.

Xuanyuan Cheng turned to Tang Ximen, and he couldn’t help but offer some advice, “Senior Student Tang, it’s actually best to set some more ambitious targets so that you have more motivation.”

“Is that the case? I’ve always felt like targets that are too high would be discouraging as I wouldn’t even want to work toward them, seeing as I won’t get there anyway.” Tang Ximen held an opposing view on this matter.

“Then at least set Su Qianyun as your target. She passed the trial on level eighty-four, so can’t you at least set a target to do the same?” Xuanyuan Cheng tried to lower the stakes a little.

“No, no, no, I can’t compare to her. Su Qianyun possesses the True Yin Physique, her talent is exceptional, and she’s at the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage on top of that. This target is a little too high…” Tang Ximen immediately shook his head.

Xuanyuan Cheng was speechless upon hearing this. He felt like he suddenly understood why Tang Ximen was a useless noob…

A thought then suddenly occurred to him. “Wait, hasn’t Su Qianyun already passed the eighty-fourth level trial? What is she still doing on the eighty-fourth level?”

Tang Ximen also turned to look at the image displaying the scene within the eighty-fourth level to find a gorgeous Celestial Maiden standing silently on the spot with a sulky expression on her face.

“Er, could it be that the guardian of the restricted area has forgotten about her? To be honest, if you didn’t mention it, I would’ve forgotten as well,” Tang Ximen speculated.

Xuanyuan Cheng: “Although I really don’t want to admit it, it is indeed most likely the case that Senior Bai Zhong has forgotten about her…”

Bai Zhong appeared on level ninety-eight before turning to An Lin with a complex expression.

He repressed the shock in his heart before announcing with a smile, “Congratulations, Student An Lin, on passing the trial on level ninety-eight, breaking the all-time record of The United University of Cultivation in the process. We’re going to be announcing the news of your feat to the entire school tomorrow.”

“I don’t really care about fame or stuff like that.” An Lin waved his hand with a nonchalant expression.

Bai Zhong: “…”

He cleared his throat before continuing, “As you have broken the record, the school will reward you with many valuable prizes. Some of those prizes are quite appealing even to someone like myself…”

An Lin waved his hands again. “That’s not important either. I just want to ask if I can go to level ninety-nine yet. After all, my goal is to conquer this entire Immortal Spirit Tower!”

Bai Zhong’s face convulsed upon hearing this. This student really had a way of pissing him off!

“Of course you can, but the ninety-ninth level is a bit special, so you can consume some pills and recover to your prime condition before taking on the challenge. I’ll be lifting the restriction on your storage ring now,” Bai Zhong informed.

An Lin nodded upon hearing this. He hadn’t really sustained any injuries during his battle with Xing Tian, but he had completely depleted all the energy within his body, so it was a good idea to recover first.

He swallowed a Blood Spirit Pill from his storage ring before sitting down to meditate.

Bai Zhong heaved a light sigh of relief, and a sense of inexplicable joy welled up in his heart as he looked at An Lin.

A top-tier prodigy had appeared in the Heavenly Court! As a member of the Heavenly Court himself, he was quite ecstatic to see such a brilliant student.

As this legendary battle drew to a conclusion, Bai Zhong’s heart also began to settle, and he suddenly remembered something.

Crap! There are still three other trial takers!

Cold sweat immediately began to pour down Bai Zhong’s forehead as this thought occurred to him.

As the guardian of the restricted area, it was a significant oversight on his part to have ignored the other trial takers for so long.

Bai Zhong released his divine sense before his expression shifted, and he immediately appeared on the eighty-fourth level.

“Why are you so late?” Su Qianyun looked at Bai Zhong with a sulky expression as she complained, “I thought that I had been abandoned.”

Bai Zhong offered words of consolation in a hurried voice, “My apologies, I had some urgent matters to take care of.”

“What urgent matters?” Su Qianyun was clearly a little angry as she looked at Bai Zhong.

“Well…” Bai Zhong was having a bit of difficulty as he tried to think of an answer. The footage of his conversation with Su Qianyun was going to be broadcasted to all the spectating students, so if he were to lie to Su Qianyun, his reputation would be swept to the ground…

Oh, wait… his reputation already appeared to have been swept to the ground…

To ignore the other trial takers just to spectate An Lin’s battle, this was already quite a significant issue!

Bai Zhong felt absolutely crushed. He was such a hard-working and conscientious guardian, but his reputation had been completely destroyed.

“Ahem… the urgent matter was… I was spectating the battle between An Lin and Xing Tian. As you can probably guess, their battle was extremely spectacular… No! Their battle was extremely dangerous, to the extent that it was threatening the structural integrity of the Immortal Spirit Tower, so I had to go to level ninety-eight to maintain order there!” Bai Zhong explained.

Su Qianyun: “…”

Su Qianyun’s dreamy blue eyes were fixed on Bai Zhong, and there was no hint of any expression on her porcelain-like features.

Bai Zhong suddenly felt a sense of asphyxiation from her expressionless stare.

Su Qianyun remained silent for a while longer before speaking again, “I thought you were a responsible old man, but it looks like I was wrong…”

Crack…

Bai Zhong felt like he could hear the sound of his heart shattering. What was it like to be looked down on by a student he appreciated? He wanted to vomit blood!

His body swayed slightly as if he was about to collapse.

All the pent-up negative emotions welled up at once.

“To think that you would drop everything to spectate An Lin’s battle, you sure are an interesting old man. You’re not some strict, dogmatic old man; you’re someone who also gets transfixed on something that strikes their fancy. I think you’re really cool!” A warm smile appeared on Su Qianyun’s face.

The rays of the sun fell on her perfect features, making her smile appear extremely vibrant and enchanting.

Bai Zhong was rooted to the spot. He felt like he had seen an angel!

Transfixed by something that struck his fancy? He was really cool?

This was the first time he had heard someone talk about a blatant mistake like this. And he could tell from her genuine expression that she was speaking directly from her heart without any hint of dishonesty.

Tears suddenly began to well up in Bai Zhong’s eyes.

His wounded heart was suddenly somehow healed.

“You’re such a kind child. Let me get you out of here…” Bai Zhong’s voice was trembling a little.

“Yes, please!” Su Qianyun nodded with a smile before posing a question, “So, An Lin won his battle, right?”

Bai Zhong faltered slightly upon hearing this. “How did you know?”

“Hehe, he’s so strong, so I knew he could do it. Could you please recount the battle for me?” Su Qianyun asked in a mellow voice.

What a lovely girl…

Bai Zhong’s heart was melting just from interacting with her.

He nodded with a benevolent, doting expression. “Of course! I’ll get you out of here first, then I’ll tell you about his battle…”
