She is Jianxiu
Chapter 1476, Section 36: Borrowing a Form
Moreover, judging from the body in front of him, Zhao Chun could feel a surge of blood and energy rushing towards him, which meant that the body that Mi Tian had manifested was not a Dharma form, but a real body of flesh and blood!
It is unknown whether his three heads and six arms were innate or acquired.
She glanced at them quickly and noticed that although the three heads looked identical, their expressions were all different. The head on the left drooped slightly, its eyes downcast and filled with sorrow. On its two arms, one held a bronze bell, and the other gripped a jade mallet. In contrast, the head on the right had a fierce and glaring expression, and the weapons it held in its hands had changed to gleaming silver swords.
When Zhao Chun stood in front of Mi Tian, neither of the two heads on the left or right looked at her. Only the head in the middle opened its eyes, changing its original closed and compassionate expression to look down with a peaceful and curious gaze.
In an instant, a strange feeling arose in Zhao Chun's heart, as if her entire background had been seen through, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
Is this what a second-rank scholar is like? He's probably no less powerful than a Void Realm expert.
As she pondered, she bowed and said in a deep voice, "This junior, Zhao Chun, has come to pay my respects after being summoned by the Grand Master of Ceremonies!"
When the person above saw her bow, he did not speak at first. After a moment, his voice came down and said, "No need for formalities, sit down and answer my questions."
Zhao Chun raised her head and looked around but couldn't find a seat. Suddenly, an idea struck her. She saw the character "席" (xi, meaning seat) break free from the ink marks on the wall and fly up, landing in front of her to become a seat.
She wasn't surprised, simply regarding this method as a kind of supernatural power, and without being bound by it, she took her seat directly.
After Zhao Chun was seated, Mi Tian, who was at the head of the table, remained silent for a moment before finally speaking: "I have summoned you here today to ask you about the Danqiu Forum."
Instead of asking about her background or the grudge between her and Suotuyi, Mi Tian suddenly spoke up and brought up the Danqiu Forum, which was of most concern to Zhao Chun. This made the latter's heart skip a beat, as he did not know whether a second-rank scholar had the ability to read minds and see through other people's thoughts.
“Logically speaking, your years of study at the academy are far too short, and you shouldn’t even be a part of the Danqiu Forum,” Mi Tian said, raising his head slightly, a thoughtful expression naturally appearing on his head. “However, the Suo Tu Yi I originally selected is not as good as you. If we judge by the rule of meritocracy, then you are indispensable for this forum.”
She lowered her eyes, then suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Zhao Chun, answer me truthfully. If it were you, how would you ask me to select you to attend the meeting?"
Without hesitation, Zhao Chun replied, "If I had to choose between the two, I would kill him!"
Mi Tian's expression remained unchanged as he asked again, "You know he holds a high position and is highly favored in the academy. Killing him will surely bring trouble upon yourself. So why must you kill him?"
Zhao Chun replied, "The reason why Suotu Yi has such prestige today is simply because no outstanding talents are available, which allows a mere upstart to gain fame. Now that I have defeated him, I know that his position is not necessarily secure. His so-called favor and appreciation are nothing but fleeting clouds."
At this point, she raised her head slightly and continued, "If the Grand Master still held Suotuyi in high regard, he would not have summoned me today."
On the day Suotuyi suffered a crushing defeat, the enmity between the two transformed from blood feud into a major obstacle on their path. Suotuyi had been riding high in the academy, encountering almost no setbacks along the way. Now that he had been defeated by Zhao Chun, the resentment in his heart could not be dispelled by a few words of mediation.
As Zhao Chun said, if Mi Tian truly valued this person to the point of being unable to part with her, he should have summoned Suo Tu Yi long ago to hone his skills so that he could use Zhao Chun as a stepping stone. Instead, he summoned her here, asking her questions that he already knew the answer to. How could Zhao Chun be so oblivious as not to notice?
Previously, when Si Queyi asked her, she only answered with the word "wait," but today she received Mi Tian's reply.
“Wu Yu is incompetent, and with Suo Tu Yi’s aptitude, he can be said to be barely passable,” the middle head chuckled. “Now that you’re here, it’s not impossible for you to take his place.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chun's heart stirred slightly, knowing that the other party was about to make demands. She lifted her eyelids, her pupils suddenly contracting, and saw that the naked arm was stretched out in mid-air. The Heaven and Earth Furnace that she had been searching for for so long actually appeared in that large palm.
Mi Tian's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he had already seen through the origin of this object. "The Danqiu lineage has four major academies. Every year when the conference is held, four people are selected from each of the four disciplines: literature, rites and music, and martial arts. Therefore, sixteen people from each discipline will participate in the conference."
"I swear an oath today, and if you come out on top among the sixteen, I will return this item to you untouched and answer three questions for you."
Zhao Chun narrowed her eyes, not expecting Mi Tian to make the first move and snatch the furnace directly from Suo Tu Yi's hands. But then she thought that since the other party knew the inside story, he would not let go of this handle in front of him. The Heaven and Earth Furnace was of great significance. Anyone with profound cultivation and excellent eyesight could see that this thing was very mysterious. Suo Tu Yi wanted to keep it for himself, but he had no chance of competing with the Grand Master Mi Tian.
So the only thing to be thankful for is that Mi Tian did not hide his desire to possess her, and was actually willing to make a vow with her in exchange for her winning the top martial arts title for the Gu She Academy.
Zhao Chun frowned, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. She thought that she was weak and alone, and with her mere Divine Realm cultivation, she was no match for a being like Mi Tian. If she wanted to forcibly take this item, she would probably have to wait until she broke through to the Void Realm.
Her expression hardened, and she gradually became more calculating. She then asked, "May I ask, Grand Master, are all the sixteen people attending this gathering at the third rank of cultivation?"
A third-rank scholar from the Qianming Realm can rival a divine being, but Si Que Danyun once said that there were not only people from this realm at the Danqiu Forum. Within the same realm, Zhao Chun could confidently say that he rarely encountered an opponent, but if it were a whole realm higher, the gap between them would not be something that talent alone could bridge.
Knowing her concerns, Mi Tian immediately explained, "The academy has its own methods for measuring cultivation levels, which will not violate fairness. You can rest assured."
Zhao Chun nodded in agreement, saying, "Then please keep this for me, Grand Master. I will come to retrieve it after the Danqiu Conference is over."
After saying this, he bowed and took his leave with a solemn vow, leaving Mi Tian in the hall deep in thought. Recalling his previous words, he couldn't help but reveal a very faint smile.
However, after a short while, the smile vanished, replaced by a look of confusion and bewilderment on his face.
A moment later, Mitian's eyes regained their divine light, but the Heaven and Earth Furnace in her palm suddenly became scalding hot. Her expression changed, and she murmured to herself, "I wonder which great sage has condescended to descend upon us. I didn't even notice."
He then looked at the small furnace in his palm, sighing inwardly in regret. He thought to himself that even he was astonished by its profound mysteries, and now he had to abandon his desire to possess it exclusively. (End of Chapter)
