I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

Zhang Yangqing nodded approvingly. This woman was indeed smart; after following him for this period of time, she had already been able to keep up with some of his thoughts.

After gathering his thoughts, Zhang Yangqing said, "I need to use a high-intensity battle to 'rationalize' my transformation, so that bystanders, especially those within the Hidden Clan, will attribute my 'progress' to the rebuilding after being severely injured, or the 'special gains' after fighting the strange entity, rather than questioning my identity."

Finally, Zhang Yangqing didn't mention this point because he needed to confirm some information about the power system of this world, especially the power characteristics approaching the 'Saint' realm.

According to the disciple's information, the Half-Saint Great Perfection has already made initial contact with the laws.

Zhang Yangqing then needed to experience firsthand what the 'law power' of this world was all about.

If one can understand this point, then Zhang Yangqing will be in a class of his own when he returns to Earth.

Since Earth's dimensionality is medium, if everyone is at the maximum level, their cultivation levels are actually similar, so the competition is all about realm.

The Celestial Realm's understanding of realms is basically at the domain level; the next level is the laws.

When Zhang Yangqing returns to Blue Star, his body will definitely recover to the Celestial Realm. The Celestial Realm, which comprehends the laws, will be vastly different from other Celestial Realm cultivators.

This is something that many of Earth's super-powerful beings have probably already thought of.

They all understood that the moment Zhang Yangqing returned, the entire landscape of Blue Star would change.

In fact, if it were anyone else, such as the Pope of Ramen Country or Joe Jack, the chairman of Tariff Industries, many top experts would be afraid of them if they obtained this kind of energy.

Because these two have certain ambitions: either to expand the number of followers and spread their doctrines, or to develop their companies and dominate a region.

Zhang Yangqing is relatively easygoing, at least he shows a non-competitive and non-aggressive personality. If you don't provoke him, he generally won't make a move.

In fact, the powerful figures on Blue Star didn't know that even if they fought, they would basically be no match for Zhang Yangqing.

After all, Zhang Yangqing's ability to defeat Yin Kui, who was of a higher level, was enough to show that he was invincible at the same level.

But that's how it is in the Celestial Realm. Without a formal fight, who would be willing to admit that they are inferior?
They won't admit it unless they've been beaten; there's nothing you can do about it.

As undercurrents surged on Blue Star, in the world of supernatural tales, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes listened with a heart full of emotion, once again deeply shocked by the profoundness of Zhang Yangqing's plans and the astonishing audacity.

It turns out that agreeing to this seemingly perilous challenge was the culmination of so many calculations and motives! This is not just a battle, but a meticulously planned move!
"I understand, big brother! So what preparations do we need to make?" The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes nodded emphatically, her worry lessening and replaced by an anticipation mixed with excitement and nervousness.

Zhang Yangqing sat back on the stone bed and closed his eyes: "No special preparations are needed. You continue with the original plan and find out the details of the transportation. As for this battle, I have my own plan."

At this moment, the beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes had no idea what Zhang Yangqing meant by "knowing one's limits".

Jin Wu spared no expense and made ample preparations to avenge his previous defeat.

He not only secluded himself to cultivate diligently and broke through to the Great Perfection of Half-Saint, but also meticulously planned this challenge.

He chose an ancient martial arts arena called "Hanlongtai" within the branch's headquarters as the competition venue.

This place has a wide open terrain, is composed of a single, incredibly hard "mysterious steel rock", and is reinforced by ancient formations, making it capable of withstanding fierce battles between semi-saint level experts.

More importantly, Jin Wu used his connections and influence to extend invitations to many people.

He not only invited all the prominent deacons and managers within the branch, but even managed to persuade several old monsters who had been in seclusion for years and were detached from worldly affairs. He also specially sent someone to the main clan to deliver a message, inviting several elders who were on good terms with him or who valued him highly to come and watch the battle.

His purpose was obvious: to completely defeat Yin Kui in front of everyone and all the high-ranking members of the Hidden Clan, to prove who the true leader of the younger generation of the Hidden Clan was and who deserved the title of "future"!
He wanted to ruin Yin Kui's reputation and bring back the resources and influence that had been bestowed upon him because of Yin Kui's awakened bloodline.

Zhang Yangqing was not fully aware of the behind-the-scenes games and calculations, nor was he interested in learning more about the specific grievances between Yin Kui and Jin Wu.

All he needs to know is that this battle is attracting a lot of attention and that the audience is very important; that's enough.

High visibility means a better performance; a large audience means he has the opportunity to connect with people at a higher level.

The appointed day for the competition arrived quickly.

Surrounded by his fellow disciples and accompanied by the white-haired elder, Zhang Yangqing arrived at the Dragon-Shaking Platform.

The beautiful woman with peach blossom eyes also followed closely behind as an attendant. She tried to appear calm, but her palms were already slightly sweaty.

Hundreds of people had already gathered around the Dragon Shaking Platform.

The number of participants wasn't particularly large, but the quality was extremely high!
Looking around, there are quite a few elderly people with white hair and youthful faces, exuding a profound aura. They are either standing or sitting, their gazes calm yet seemingly able to see through everything.

There were also some figures wearing hooded robes, their faces hidden in shadow. Their auras were obscure and unclear, but even the slightest hint of their presence was enough to send chills down one's spine.

These people are clearly powerful figures, elders, or even reclusive old monsters with considerable status and strength in the hidden clan branches or even the main clan!
They came today not only to watch a competition between young disciples, but also to assess the potential, temperament, and performance under pressure of these two prodigies, Yin Kui and Jin Wu.

This scene made the junior disciples accompanying Zhang Yangqing feel weak in the knees, and they unconsciously slowed their breathing.

The white-haired elder of the branch walked beside Zhang Yangqing and asked in a low voice, "Yin Kui, are you really confident?"

His gaze held a hint of scrutiny and concern.

Yin Kui was someone he had watched grow up. Although he was aloof, his talent and temperament were both excellent.

He both hoped that Yin Kui could win and uphold his reputation as a genius, but he was also worried that Yin Kui was still seriously injured and that forcing himself to fight would damage his foundation. He was also afraid that Yin Kui was young and impetuous and would lose his sense of proportion under Jin Wu's provocation.

Zhang Yangqing stopped and turned his head slightly to look at the white-haired elder.

His face showed no tension or unease, only the deep-seated arrogance and confidence that belonged to Yin Kui, even more so than before.

He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of those around him: "Elder, rest assured, a defeated opponent is still a defeated opponent."

His tone was calm, yet it contained an undeniable and powerful conviction, as if he were stating an established fact.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired elder's eyes flickered slightly, but he ultimately said nothing more, only nodding gently.

Yin Kui's confidence is exactly the same as before, or even sharper?
Perhaps after such a serious injury, there really is a transformation?

The group arrived at one side of the Dragon-Shaking Platform.

On the opposite side, Jin Wu had been waiting for a long time. (End of Chapter)
