She is Jianxiu

More and more figures appeared in the sky. Yingtai Zhi Qiu looked around and realized that this commotion had really gotten out of hand. Everyone in the capital knew about it, and the clan leaders and elders had all come out in droves. It was far from something that could be dismissed as just a martial arts contest.

He sighed, then waved his hand, and many aristocratic patriarchs who had rushed here were teleported to the top of the mountain, standing in front of the three academy chief priests.

Yingtai Zhi Qiu smiled secretly, and without explaining further to them, he pointed to the scene on Benxing Platform and continued to chat and laugh with Zuo Zhouyun and Gong Huasu beside him.

Today, he felt he had finally gotten his revenge, completely showing off his power in front of these two. Regardless of whether Zhao Chun or Suo Tu Yi would win, both sides were among the best in their class. The Martial Imperial Academy had been declining for a long time, and now that another formidable person had joined them, it was a win-win situation for Yingtai Zhi Qiu.

Looking back, Zuo Zhouyun had not taken this visitor from outer space seriously. Although Gong Huasu sent people, it was only to snatch him from the hands of Wu Yuke. The three chief priests each had their own thoughts and never thought that Zhao Chun would be so powerful. Now that they saw it, the two of them were naturally disappointed, while only Yingtai Zhi Qiu was secretly delighted.

He focused his gaze again, shifting his attention from the celestial spectacle to the Benxing Platform. It was not difficult to see that Suotuyi's actions were all a smokescreen; the real key to victory lay between the two on the platform.

The second-rank scholar was highly accomplished, and Zuo Zhouyun and Gong Huasu had long been aware of Suo Tuyi's plan. "When the soul leaves the body, it becomes a unique entity. If Zhao Chun puts too much effort into dealing with the Golden Armor Guards, his own weaknesses will be exposed."

She said that Zhao Chun came from outer space and must not have a deep understanding of the martial arts of this school of mind. Therefore, she did not know that whether it was the Golden Body Armor Guard or the golden light filling the sky, it seemed to be manipulated by Suo Tu Yi and that the soul consciousness was inseparable from the body. However, in reality, these three strands of soul consciousness would not require much effort from Suo Tu Yi, nor would he need to take care of them all the time or spend his time and energy fighting and entangled with the sword shadows in the sky.

Once the soul leaves the body, it becomes a separate entity, like scattering beans to create soldiers, possessing its own intelligence. Suo Tu Yi only needs to issue a decree, and these three strands of soul can deal with the sword shadows on their own, thereby diverting Zhao Chun's attention elsewhere.

As the golden sword shadows grew increasingly fierce, Zhao Chun frowned slightly, as if she couldn't break free. Suo Tu Yi, sensing the opportune moment, immediately glared at his eyes, and two beams of divine light shot out, instantly freezing his opponent in place!
He thought to himself that this was a good opportunity, and then raised his hand, and a sword light suddenly appeared between the two of them, piercing straight towards Zhao Chun's brow!

But what he didn't know was that Zhao Chun's furrowed brows and puzzled expression weren't simply because she couldn't free her hands. She had intentionally engaged with this golden light to see what was so special about the soul consciousness of a scholar of the Mind School. Only after capturing a wisp of it and probing it closely did she realize something was amiss.

Logically speaking, her mastery of the primordial spirit path is no less than that of a soul cultivator who specializes in this path. It wouldn't be entirely impossible for her to use a wisp of soul consciousness to trace the clues and pinpoint the location of the other party's primordial spirit.

For some reason, this method failed to work on Suotuyi.

Zhao Chun acted decisively, crushing the soul consciousness in front of her with the Divine Killing Sword Intent. Looking at Suo Tu Yi's face, it seemed as if he was unaffected. He immediately shone with divine light, trying to intimidate her!
It is evident that the School of Mind is most proficient in this kind of technique, and there must be some subtle and ingenious tricks in the Path of the Primordial Soul that she does not know.

After a moment's thought, the faint yet sharp sword light between the two struck at their faces. Zhao Chun remained unmoved, simply releasing her inner essence. Instantly, a crimson radiance burst forth, shaking the Benxing Platform as if the end of the world was approaching.

Suo Tu Yi's expression changed. He didn't know why Zhao Chun had suddenly broken free from his consciousness. Before he could react, his eyes suddenly stung, as if thousands of long needles were piercing his pupils and twisting into his head!
He cried out and instinctively raised his hands to cover his eyes. Then, he was swept away by a gust of wind and fell heavily outside the Benxing Terrace!

This scene unfolded less than half a breath after Suotuyi unleashed his sword light, aiming straight for Zhao Chun's brow. It was truly a reversal of fortune, a complete reversal of victory and defeat. It wasn't until Suotuyi fell off the Benxing Platform, blood and tears streaming from his eyes, that Fan Ya, standing outside the arena, suddenly reacted, stammering, "Suotuyi has actually lost..." He then hurriedly ordered someone to check on Suotuyi's condition before leaping onto the Benxing Platform to meet Zhao Chun's gaze. "As previously agreed, now that Fellow Student Suotu has fallen off the Benxing Platform, this battle can be considered a victory for you."

Although Zhao Chun had shown her determination to win Suo Tu Yi's challenge before, Fan Ya found it hard to believe when she saw Zhao Chun's calm and composed demeanor. She couldn't quite describe the feeling.

A barbarian from outer space, uneducated by sages, has today brought down the arrogant Sotu Yi.

Fan Ya hesitated, thinking back to the final decisive moment when Zhao Chun used those methods, which even she herself seemed unable to see clearly.

Who exactly is this person, and what level of strength do they possess...?

A moment later, Suotuyi, who had been knocked to the ground, finally recovered and gradually felt the stinging pain in his eyes subside, and his mind was no longer as confused as before.

He glared hatefully at the stage, thinking to himself that with his brother's death preceding him and himself suffering this great humiliation, if he could not avenge this, every bottleneck in his cultivation from now on would likely be repeated in the same way!

What a remarkable Zhao Chun! What an extraordinary person from another world!
Suotuyi's eyes widened, still stained with crimson blood. Although he longed to leap onto the stage and fight the other party to the death, he dared not act rashly or openly break the rules in front of the Grand Master because of the presence of the other high priests.

"Master Zhao!" he sneered. "Even after this matter is settled, there is still an old score between us to settle. We'll see what happens next!"

After saying that, he turned and left, not caring what the people at Benxingtai thought after hearing his words.

However, old scores are old scores. In today's competition, the real winner is undoubtedly Zhao Chun's side. Looking at the thousands of students and their three teachers, they all showed genuine awe.

Sotu Yi has been defeated!
No matter how much prestige he had in the past, or how much favor he had received from the Grand Master of Ceremonies, he had now been defeated by Zhao Chun and was no longer the undefeated man who was unmatched in the martial arts!

Si Queyi stood below the stage, surrounded by her fellow students who could barely breathe. Looking up, she saw that even Si Que Deyin had lost his composure and couldn't help but urgently order, "Master Zhao has actually defeated Master Suotu! Such a major event must be reported to the clan!"

“Yi-mei, since you are familiar with Master Zhao, do you know what she likes or lacks? Such a powerful person has no family support behind her. Once the noble families in the capital realize what's going on, how will they allow my Si Que family to make connections? It's best to strike first.”

A commotion erupted below the Benxing Platform, but looking up at the platform itself, it was completely empty. (End of Chapter)
