Chapter 150 Qualitative Change, Choice
In the dark night, the bright moonlight shines down, turning the ground below into a silver frost.

Under the bright moonlight, Shen Bai's waving fists were like huge mountains, causing the ground to tremble.

When Yang Feng heard what Ouyang Jian said, he turned his head suddenly with a look of horror in his eyes.

"Looking at this situation, Brother Ouyang seems to have a deep understanding of this."

He no longer wanted to look over there because Shen Bai's actions were too cruel.

The sight of a strange being in the state of unity being pressed to the ground and beaten alive is enough to make people shudder with fear.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jian nodded seriously and said, "Not only have I seen it, I've also experienced it myself."

Yang Feng said in surprise: "Brother Ouyang, please tell me in detail."

Ouyang Jian showed a bitter smile on his face: "How else can I explain it in detail? I was just beaten up by Brother Shen. I originally thought that the gap between me and Brother Shen was not that big."

"Until I saw Brother Shen fighting four opponents at the Unity Realm alone, I suddenly felt that there was no need to compete with Brother Shen. I think it would be enough for us to compete with other people."

"The strangeness of the four united realms?"

When Yang Feng heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face, his eyes widened, and his mouth seemed to be able to fit several eggs.

"Brother Ouyang, you are not kidding!"

He even thought that he must have heard it wrong, or he didn't sleep well last night and opened it in the wrong way.

However, Ouyang Jian nodded confidently and said, "You are right, and Brother Yang did not hear wrongly. Brother Shen indeed defeated four opponents at the Unified Realm by himself. Brother Yang also knows the evil forces in Fenglin State. They are probably the Wild Dao Sect and the Wild Buddhist Sect, as well as some other forces. But since Brother Shen went there, they have all been wiped out."

Clear?

The corner of Yang Feng's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "When Brother Ouyang said 'clear out', he meant leaving no one behind, right?"

Ouyang Jian nodded and said, "That's right, not a single one is left."

When Yang Feng heard this, his eyes looked at Shen Bai with a numb look.

When big news comes out, it may shock people.

But when other big news came pouring down like crazy, only the word "numb" could describe Yang Feng's mood at the moment.

But Shen Bai didn't know what these two people were talking about.

He was still excitedly hammering the weird thing in front of him.

It’s true, at the same level of strength, the weird ones are indeed stronger than humans.

When it comes to being hammered, you can also withstand it longer.

Shen Bai punched three times, and only a trace of breath remained of the monster in front of him.

This is a treasure.

What Shen Bai lacks now is evil spirit.

His Hunyuan Breaking Formation Technique has reached the point of qualitative change. If he doesn't seize the time to collect the evil energy, he will feel like he is being scratched by a cat in his heart.

Now this temporary mission has brought him a strange thing. It would be a lie if he didn't get excited.

Shen Bai continued to raise his fist and struck out excitedly.

With this punch, the blazing Buddha light from the Dharmakāvatā Fist finally wiped out the last trace of the strange aura.

As the strange aura faded away, the strangeness in front of him turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Eight strands of evil spirit emerged and were taken into Shen Bai's pocket.

"In other words, there are only eight strands of weirdness in the state of unity. That shouldn't be the case. Maybe there are more powerful weirdness in the state of unity." Shen Bai guessed in his heart.

Of course, this was just his guess, and he would put it into practice when he had the chance.

Eight strands of evil spirit, plus the two strands collected before, a total of ten strands of evil spirit, enough to bring about a second qualitative change in the Hunyuan Breaking Formation Technique.

But Shen Bai is not so anxious now. After all, when the second qualitative change occurs, he will see a familiar shadow, so Shen Bai temporarily suppresses his thoughts.

"Why do you two have such expressions?" Shen Bai turned his head and asked in confusion.

Whether it was Yang Feng or Ouyang Jian, including the members of the Tianjian Division, they all opened their mouths and eyes wide, staring at Shen Bai, which made Shen Bai feel uneasy.

When Ouyang Jian heard this, he closed his open mouth and gave Shen Bai a look that said "you understand it yourself".

Beside him, Yang Feng finally came to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said, "Master Shen's strength is truly exquisite. I have never seen it before. He can use the strength of the Tongmai realm to defeat the strangeness of the Heyi realm. It is really eye-opening."

Shen Bai showed a look of realization.

He thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this kind of thing.

Shen Bai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this is just basic operation."

Don't care?

Yang Feng felt that if he could beat Shen Bai, he would have to go to the ring and fight with Shen Bai.

You have reached the Heyi realm from the Tongmai realm, and now you turn around and calmly tell us not to worry.

Do you think this is appropriate?

If we don't even care about this, then what else is worth caring about?
Yang Feng was complaining madly in his heart.

He felt that being with Shen Bai made him feel numb and sometimes easily angry.

The key is that this anger has to be suppressed.

After all, you can't beat others, and you can't win over others in an argument, so you have to bear the consequences yourself.

Yang Feng thought about it and decided to change the subject, not letting himself get too melancholy. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for your help on this mission. If you have time to come to Xia Yunzhou in the future, I will definitely lead my brothers to give Lord Shen a good hospitality."

Shen Bai shook his head: "This is just a mission, there is no need to be so serious. Is there anything else to do now?"

Yang Feng shook his head and said, "We just need to take this orb back and have the soul master release the soul inside, then everything will come to an end."

Shen Bai nodded: "Okay, then I will follow Lord Yang back to Liangshui County. After things are settled, I will also set off to take the exam."

Yang Feng didn't say anything else. He turned around decisively and led the way.

Everyone remained silent, but from their eyes it could be seen that today's battle had left a deep impression on them.

On the way back to Liangshui County from the thatched hut, nothing unusual happened.

After Shen Bai returned, Yang Feng handed the bead filled with souls to the soul master.

The soul master took it, raised his index finger, and tapped the bead.

One after another, invisible souls were released from the beads and entered the bodies of every citizen.

The people who were walking on the street rolled their eyes and fell to the ground without making any movement.

Before anyone could say anything, the soul master hurriedly explained, "This is normal. You'll be able to recover after tomorrow. Don't be surprised."

After all, he was an expert in analyzing souls, so everyone felt relieved when the soul master said this.

Shen Bai saw that the time was almost up and it was time to set off for Yunxi Prefecture for the internal examination.

"Sir Yang, now that the matter here is over, it's time for me to leave. The internal examination is urgent and cannot be delayed." Shen Bai said.

Yang Feng replied, "Master Shen, take care. I'll see you off."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "Don't send me off. Our carriage is parked outside."

People of the world naturally don't care about any details.

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he and Ouyang Jian left Liangshui County and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

Yang Feng looked at Shen Bai's departing back, with a complicated look in his eyes.

At this time, a member of the Tianjian Division came up and spoke in a low voice.

"Master Yang, I'm afraid those young geniuses will be in dire straits in this internal examination."

After he said this, the other members of the Tianjian Division nodded, as if they deeply agreed with what he said.

Yang Feng nodded and said, "It's more than just tragic. I'm afraid that this time, the confidence of many young geniuses will be wiped out. It's embarrassing to say that I'm lucky I'm not from the same class as Lord Shen."

At the beginning, Yang Feng was also a genius who came out of the constable and had also participated in the internal examination.

Although my results in the internal examination were not very good, I had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

He thought that the group of people taking the internal examination would probably be beaten black and blue after meeting Shen Bai.

He will definitely look dejected.

The Tianjian Division member nodded and said, "Lord Shen seems to be on a leisurely trip this time. It's so relaxing."

Yang Feng waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop talking about Lord Shen behind his back. Today's battle has broadened everyone's horizons. Let's clean up the mess. After that, I'll treat everyone to a drink at the restaurant."

Upon hearing this, many members of the Tianjian Division immediately agreed loudly.

Soon, they began to clean up the mess.

The raging waves in Liangshui County turned into calm, and the people fell into a deep sleep as if no danger had ever occurred.

……

A drizzle began to fall on the official road, but the rain was much lighter than before.

The carriage would not appear so slippery when running on the official road.

Ouyang Jian acted as the coachman, sitting in front of the carriage and hitting the horse's butt with the whip in his hand.

The horse neighed and ran faster.

"Brother Shen, I think Brother Yang seems to be scared by you too."

The two of them were on their way and sometimes they were bored, so Ouyang Jian, the chatterbox, would often chat with Shen Bai.

However, there was no response from inside the carriage to what Ouyang Jian said.

Ouyang Jian had long been accustomed to this situation.

On this official road leading to the internal examination site, Shen Bai, apart from chatting with him about sword techniques every day, spent most of his time in the carriage practicing his martial arts.

Ouyang Jian didn't know why he practiced so hard.

Although there is an improvement, it is not a huge improvement.

In Ouyang Jian's opinion, a combination of work and rest is the best.

But Shen Bai insisted on doing so, and Ouyang Jian didn't say anything.

Seeing that Shen Bai did not agree, he stopped talking to disturb Shen Bai and continued driving the carriage on the road.

At this moment, Shen Bai in the carriage was looking at the proficiency panel in front of him, and something moved in his heart.

After killing the strange thing, I got eight strands of evil spirits, plus the original two strands, now there are ten strands of evil spirits.

Without hesitation, Shen Bai added all ten strands of evil energy to the Hunyuan Breaking Formation Technique.

Before his eyes, the Hunyuan Breaking Formation Technique changed for a while, and then a wisp of smoke appeared before his eyes and condensed into new words.

When the text appeared, Shen Bai touched his chin.

"This attribute is interesting."

【天地混元破阵诀lv.5（阵法+16，聚阵+16，混元+16，抵抗+16，天地+16）：0/15000】

After this thought came to mind, before Shen Bai could carefully feel it, changes occurred before his eyes.

He found that he was no longer in the carriage, but was floating in an unfamiliar space.

It was completely empty here, nothing but white.

In the middle of this whiteness, there was only a shadow sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he didn't care about anything around him.

Everything in front of him made Shen Bai feel a little curious.

In this special environment, he couldn't speak and could only observe carefully.

"I don't know what the phantom will do this time."

Shen Bai thought to himself.

As this thought came to his mind, a terrifying wave of air immediately appeared around him.

The invisible air waves swept in from the outside world, causing the pure white space to tremble slightly.

At this moment, the phantom finally changed its posture and stood up from the cross-legged position.

Then, the shadow took a step forward.

With the phantom as the center, a terrifying formation spread from under his feet, instantly covering the entire white space.

When Shen Bai saw this scene, his eyes widened.

"It's incredible that something without any formation can actually form a formation out of thin air. How did he do it?"

Shen Bai has the Heaven and Earth Hunyuan Breaking Formation Art, which has undergone a second qualitative change and is considered an expert in formation.

He understood that if one wanted to actually set up a formation, a lot of materials would be needed.

That is to say, his magical power is special, and he can use Qi as a formation and arrange the formation in his body.

If Shen Bai was setting up a formation outside, he would also have to find the things needed to set up the formation, otherwise he would have no other choice.

But now, the phantom can actually create a formation out of thin air in this space.

While Shen Bai felt it was mysterious, he also wanted to find out some clues.

Under Shen Bai's gaze, the shadow began to move.

The Qi in the body circulated over and over again, and Shen Bai could see it all.

After a moment, the terrifying formation disappeared.

Shen Bai also found the reason.

Everything in the world can become the material for the formation. As long as you are in the world and communicate with it through Qi, the world can set up the formation out of thin air.

Shen Bai was thinking in his heart.

Before my eyes, when the terrifying formation disappeared, the phantom also disappeared along with the formation.

When the shadow disappeared, Shen Bai found himself back in the carriage.

A flash of enlightenment appeared in my mind.

"The world is the formation, and I am the center of it."

Shen Bai opened his eyes and absorbed all the information. He thought to himself, "It seems that the surprise brought by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Breaking Formation Technique is even greater than I imagined."

After reaching level five, the Heaven and Earth Hunyuan Breaking Formation Art, in addition to doubling the previous attributes, also has an additional attribute of Heaven and Earth +16.

The attributes of heaven and earth are the scene of formations set up out of thin air that Shen Bai had seen in the mysterious space before.

Use the heaven and earth as the formation and arrange the formation.

Taking root from the feet, covering the surroundings, anyone within the formation, as long as it is within the attribute range of Heaven + 16, will be weakened.

After being weakened, Shen Bai himself will be strengthened.

This magical power is not only capable of group battles, but can even be used for long-range attacks.

Moreover, the formation set up is practical and can increase Shen Bai's combat power.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai felt the Qi in his body.

After the second qualitative change of the Tiandi Hunyuan Pozhen Jue, he found that most of the meridians in his body had been filled with Qi and turned golden.

There are a total of eight meridians in the Tongmai realm. As long as all eight meridians are covered by golden Qi, one can reach the state of unity.

"I am becoming more and more confident when I go to the internal examination this time." Shen Bai thought to himself.

Then, Shen Bai lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at Ouyang Jian who was driving the carriage, and asked.

"Brother Ouyang, we still have a few days to go to our destination."

Ouyang Jian turned around and said, "If we're in a hurry, it'll probably take about eight days. If we're not in a hurry, it'll be ten days. After all, we haven't been away from Fenglin Province for long."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Hurry up and arrive early so that we can relax earlier."

Ouyang Jian agreed: "No problem, leave it to me."

He waved the whip faster, and the horse pulled the carriage, gradually disappearing on the official road.

……

Yunxi Prefecture is the most prosperous and bustling of all the prefecture-level cities in the Great Chu State, and also the most powerful one.

If it weren't for the area issue, Yunxi Prefecture would be even more prosperous and bustling than the cities of the previous level.

It is precisely because of its bustling and prosperous nature that it has become an important place in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Every year, an internal examination is held, inviting young talents from all over the Jiantian Division to go to Yunxi Prefecture to compete for the top spot.

All the geniuses among the younger generation who participated in the Tianjian Division were also the strongest younger generation in each place.

Those who take the internal examination will be noticed by the higher-ups regardless of their ranking level.

Even if it returns to its original place, it can still be reused.

Therefore, for the members of the Tianjian Division who are taking the internal examination, this is an opportunity that no one will let go of.

At this moment, a lot of people have gathered in Yunxi Prefecture. Each of them is wearing the official uniform of the Tianshi Division and walking on the street.

There are about five days left until the deadline. Some people arrived early and learned about the customs and culture of Yunxi Prefecture, and also relieved the pressure of the internal examination here.

Although all those who came to take the internal examination were talented people from the Tianjiansi, everyone was under pressure.

After all, they are all the most powerful young generations in their respective states.

Because of this, the business of the Jiaofangsi in Yunxi Prefecture has been booming recently.

The inn also became overcrowded due to the arrival of the members of the Tianjiansi.

At this moment, several members of the Tianjiansi were guarding outside an inn, watching the excitement inside.

Inside the inn, several people wearing the official uniforms of the Tianshi Division were looking at each other.

A tense atmosphere was boiling over in the crowd. On the left were two men and one woman, and on the right were three men.

Both sides glared at each other, but no one took action.

In addition to the members of the Tianjiansi who were watching, there were also many ordinary people watching.

Discussions are rising one after another.

"What on earth is going on in there? Why is it so serious? It seems like a fight is about to break out."

"How would I know? I just got here too. Oh, and you got here before me. Do you know what's going on?"

"It seems to be because of a seat. As you know, a lot of officials have come here recently. The inn and the restaurant are all overcrowded, so this space is naturally not enough."

"I see. So they're going to fight just because of a position?"

"I don't know. I don't know if they can start a fight. They seem quite restrained."

The people were communicating with each other.

The momentum of the two groups of people confronting each other has reached its limit at this moment.

It seemed that both sides would draw their weapons and fight here just because of a single word.

The only female among the three people on the left came out and said.

"We were the first to get this position, why are you trying to snatch it from us?"

Among the three people opposite, a slightly fat man walked out slowly, holding a folding fan in his hand and waving it gently.

"Before joining the Heavenly Monitoring Bureau, everyone was a constable. You should understand that no matter what position you take, it belongs to those with virtue."

"We've taken a fancy to this location today. Please leave immediately. We don't want to eat here with you."

Although they are all members of the Tianshi Division, during the internal examination, they are actually enemies, but it is not necessary to be as serious as enemies of life and death.

Therefore, on a normal day, if you can suppress the opponent by a few points, then do so, so as to lower the opponent's arrogance. This can also bring unexpected benefits during the internal examination.

The woman gritted her teeth and slowly drew the weapon from her waist. "Although we are all from the Heavenly Supervisory Division, if you continue to bully us, we will not give you face. Today, either we will fight a life-or-death battle here, or you will give up your position."

The slightly chubby man sneered, "Alright, fighting here is boring. Let's go to the Jiantian Division Arena in Yunxi Province and see who is stronger."

"Who's afraid of who?" The woman snorted coldly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Everyone made way for them, and the onlookers stayed away from them for fear that these officials in official uniforms would bring bad luck to them.

But at this moment, a carriage happened to pass by this street.

Ouyang Jian looked at the lively atmosphere, turned around and said to the carriage: "Brother Shen, it seems that this inn is full. We have to find another place."

Shen Bai poked his head out of the carriage, took a look, and said, "It's okay if it's full. We can just go and rent a room."

To him, it doesn't matter whether he is satisfied or not.

Just find a vacant house and rent it out for a little money.

Ouyang Jian nodded and said, "Okay, then let's change places."

Having said that, Ouyang Jian prepared to leave.

Since they came in a carriage, they looked extremely strange.

Everyone looked over there. It was nothing special for a carriage to pass by, and since the carriage was about to leave, no one cared.

But when these members of the Tianjian Division saw the person sitting in the carriage, they were all stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, many members showed eagerness in their eyes and stared at Shen Bai without moving their gaze.

Shen Bai was about to leave, but when he saw everyone looking at him, he frowned.

"What's going on?" Shen Bai asked.

Ouyang Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Could it be that Brother Shen knows him?"

Shen Bai said: "I don't know him. Forget it. I don't want to cause trouble in Yunxi Province. Let's leave now."

Ouyang Jian agreed and didn't care about anything else. He prepared to drive the carriage towards the next place.

But at this moment, the two groups of people who had the conflict at the beginning ignored each other, but instead blocked Shen Bai's carriage.

Seeing this, Shen Bai frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

He came here just for the internal examination and didn't want anything to happen here.

It’s not that he’s afraid of trouble, it’s just that he doesn’t want trouble.

In recent days, Shen Bai has been working hard to improve his proficiency in the Water Control Technique. It only takes 5000 points to reach the fourth level from the third level of the Water Control Technique, so when he arrived in Yunxi Province, he had already reached the fourth level.

【控水诀lv.4（水性+8，水速+8，控水+8，水攻+8）:0/10000】

After reaching level four, the previous attributes of Shen Bai's magical power were all doubled, and an additional water attack attribute was added.

For Shen Bai, this attribute is a very auxiliary attribute, which can increase the attack power of water.

Of course, the +8 range also represents the strength of the attack.

For Shen Bai, this was already a huge improvement, so he thought about continuing to practice the Water Control Technique and raising it to the peak of level four.

As for the evil spirit, we will look for it later.

Since Shen Bai wants to improve his supernatural powers right now, he really doesn't want to cause trouble here.

But this group of guys actually blocked the carriage, which made Shen Bai very unhappy.

"I didn't come to provoke you, so you should just burn incense.

"Now you come to block my way, are you really not afraid of losing your life?" Shen Baidao
The two groups of members who stopped Shen Bai looked at each other, and the slightly fat man waved his folding fan and bowed.

"May I ask if you are Shen Bai from Maple Forest State?"

Shen Bai nodded and said, "Yes, it's me. What's the matter with you stopping me?"

The slightly plump man smiled faintly and slowly closed his folding fan: "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to borrow your name."

"My name, what is my name?" Shen Bai asked.

The slightly plump man sneered, "You, Shen Bai, have earned the title of Sixth Master in the martial arts world. I also heard that you are the most powerful master among the younger generation of the Tianjian Division. We are not convinced of this title, so we came to you to ask for it. If I defeat you, the title will naturally fall to me."

Shen Bai's face was indifferent and calm.

Seeing this, the slightly plump man frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shen Bai did not answer him, but patted Amber in his arms.

Amber fell to the ground, making a low growl, and then quickly spread out, turning into a tiger-sized beast, emitting a cold aura.

Amber's appearance made everyone present gasp.

The slightly fat man's eyes widened. "Strange beast, it's true. Rumor has it that you possess a strange beast, but this alone is not enough to make us retreat."

Shen Bai touched Amber's head and said to himself, "Forget it, you didn't use enough strength. These guys just had their heads hit by the door. It's not enough to kill them."

"What did you say?" The slightly fat man's face became even colder.

Not only him, but several others as well.

There were many members of the Tianjian Division around, but they were not so impulsive and were just watching the fun.

They felt that the two groups might start fighting now, and it would probably be an exciting battle.

But the next scene left them all stunned.

It is indeed wonderful, but the duration of this wonderful moment is too short.

Shen Bai pulled out the Hanyue from his waist and then shook it slightly.

Blood-red sword energy pierced through the limbs of several people with lightning speed.

The six men immediately fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

Shen Bai touched his chin: "Brother Ouyang?"

Ouyang Jian heard the sound and turned around to ask, "What's wrong?"

"With the strength of Tongmai realm, this kind of injury should recover quickly." Shen Bai said.

Ouyang Jian nodded confidently and said, "It will be back in a few days at most. This is the first time I've seen Brother Shen show mercy."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "You can't do it three times, but you can't do it a second time with me."

As he spoke, Shen Bai's eyes were filled with teasing.

"Or, if you hold on for a while and stand up with your injuries, and provoke me again, I promise to chop off your heads."

Although Shen Bai's tone was indifferent when he spoke, the murderous aura in his body was gradually rising.

All the members of the Tianjian Division who were watching frowned.

Fast, too fast.

They didn't even see how Shen Bai drew his sword, but they saw those provocative people falling to the ground.

Moreover, the power of this sword energy was extremely strong, and the opponent didn't even have the ability to defend himself.

Several members of the Tianjiansi frowned, and were secretly calculating in their hearts whether they could withstand Shen Bai's sword energy.

The people lying on the ground had blue faces and cold sweat on their foreheads, and did not answer Shen Bai's questions.

They all rose from the bottom as constables, so they could feel the murderous aura from Shen Bai and knew that Shen Bai was serious.

If they provoke Shen Bai again, Shen Bai will really kill them all.

"That's enough, it's really boring." Shen Bai sat back in the carriage and said, "Brother Ouyang, let's set off."

Ouyang Jian laughed heartily, and without paying any attention to the people on the ground, he tightened the reins of the carriage and drove it towards the end of the street.

This time, no one dared to stop him.

Because they were at the Tongmai realm, the injuries of those injured people recovered quickly.

Not long after, he stood up.

They looked at each other, snorted coldly, and left quietly. No one mentioned what had just happened, let alone escalated the conflict.

Because of Shen Bai's appearance, the conflict ended in a funny way.

There was no excitement to watch, so many members of the Tianjian Division looked at each other and left one after another.

The people watched the excitement and gradually dispersed while chatting.

The inn gradually returned to peace.

……

On the second floor of the inn, an ordinary-looking young man, holding a wine glass in his hand, watched the carriage gradually moving away and took a sip.

The man's appearance is so ordinary that you would probably not be able to find him if he were thrown into a crowd of people.

But those eyes, despite their calmness, held a hint of madness.

"Shen Bai, Shen Bai, you are still as decisive and ruthless as ever. I am really looking forward to meeting you next."

The young man poured himself another glass of wine, and after drinking it, he shook his head, attracting the attention of people around him.

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly walked to the second floor, came to the window seat, sat opposite the young man, and looked at the young man's face carefully.

The young man touched his face and said with a smile, "This is such a high-end disguise, even you can't see it, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said nonchalantly, "This time the organization asked me to cooperate with you, so I don't want to ask anything. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

The young man said cheerfully, "Our Lord Li actually obeys a bronze medal member like me. It's like the sun setting in the east."

Li Yun sneered, "Wang Tianxing, you no longer have a chance. If you cause any more trouble, you won't be demoted. You will only be expelled from the academy. You know the consequences of being expelled."

"Don't think that just because you're a genius valued by the academy, you can do whatever you want."

Wang Tianxing chuckled: "Geniuses can do whatever they want. Are you dissatisfied? If you don't accept it, you can disobey the academy's arrangements and refuse to cooperate with me."

Li Yun closed his eyes and ignored Wang Tianxing, indicating that everything was just a passing cloud.

Wang Tianxing curled his lips and said, "Everyone in the academy is very serious. In my opinion, when you are crazy, you seem more normal. When you are not crazy, you look old-fashioned. You are not as interesting as Shen Bai."

"Why do you have to provoke him?" Li Yun finally couldn't help but speak: "The academy wants us to stay out of the spotlight for a while. After all, he is too terrifying. Let's complete the plan first."

Wang Tianxing asked curiously, "You don't even know what the plan is, why are you talking nonsense here?"

Li Yun was choked, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he clenched his fists.

After Wang Tianxing poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, he looked at the direction where Shen Bai's carriage left and said with a smile: "I set up a few hurdles for him. The first one will be here soon. Let me see how he can pass it first."

"It's so funny. I've never met such a funny person."

Li Yun clenched his fists tighter, but thinking of the task assigned to him by the academy, he still did not lose his temper.

Wang Tianxing put down the wine glass in his hand: "You can't beat me, don't pretend to be gritting your teeth, I find it very annoying."

Li Yun let out a long sigh, took a few deep breaths, and then asked, "What level did you design for him? You can always tell me about it."

Wang Tianxing chuckled, "It's a very interesting level. He'll soon encounter the first one. I call it the choice of fate. It all depends on what he chooses. Come on, have a drink."

Wang Tianxing picked up the wine glass, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Li Yun: "Relax, don't be so serious, this is just a task."

Li Yun picked up the wine glass, thought for a moment, and drank it in one gulp.

But after taking a sip, he immediately spat it out.

"What is this?" Li Yun asked.

Wang Tianxing laughed heartily and said, "What else could it be? Horse urine. Many people call wine horse urine, so I want to see whether horse urine or wine tastes better."

Li Yunteng stood up immediately and said, "Are you fucking crazy? Do you drink horse urine too?"

Wang Tianxing gave Li Yun a strange look and said, "I like to do research, but I won't do it on myself. Of course, what I drink is wine, and what you drink is horse urine."

Li Yun's face was gloomy and uncertain.

Wang Tianxing said happily: "Yes, yes, I like your expression, it's so funny."

"Crazy!" Li Yun blurted out.

"Everyone is crazy." Wang Tianxing placed his hand on the window, supporting his chin with his palm. "Who from the academy isn't crazy?"

Li Yun said no more and sat in his seat with a gloomy face.

……

Ouyang Jian drove the carriage and searched around, but he really couldn't find a suitable place.

The inn was full, and they were not the type to force a stay, so in the end they had no choice but to follow Shen Bai's idea and find a chamber of commerce in Yunxi Prefecture.

This chamber of commerce deals with the leasing and sale of houses. When the shopkeeper saw that Shen Bai and Ouyang Jian were both wearing official uniforms, he immediately came up to them.

Then, after completing some simple procedures, the two rented a house.

The place they rented was simple, just two rooms and a dining area.

Since the room was simple, no one cleaned it. However, Ouyang Jian was diligent and started cleaning it immediately.

Shen Bai was also helping.

By the time the cleaning was finished, nearly half an hour had passed.

Only Amber looked left and right, as if she had never seen her master doing housework.

After the two finished cleaning, it was already 10 o'clock in the afternoon.

Shen Bai threw the rag on the table and said, "Brother Ouyang, let's go out for dinner and experience the customs and culture of Yunxi Prefecture."

Ouyang Jian nodded and said, "I'm just hungry. Let's go. I'll treat you."

Shen Bai picked up Amber and left the room with Ouyang Jian.

……

Outside this street is a street filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Yunxi Prefecture is the most prosperous and lively among the prefecture-level cities, so naturally, delicious food is everywhere.

Shen Bai and Ouyang Jian walked around for a while and ordered three dishes and a soup at a stall.

It wasn't long before the food was served.

Shen Bai picked up the bowl and chopsticks and was about to eat when he saw a little girl in a cotton jacket walking towards him with a letter in her hand.

Shen Bai touched his chin, put the bowl down, and asked after the little girl came closer.

"Little girl, are you here to see me?"

Just now, the little girl didn't care about anything else and just came straight to him. Shen Bai guessed that she must be looking for him.

The little girl was a little shy and lowered her head timidly, but she still mustered up the courage and put the letter in her hand on the table.

"Big brother, this letter was given to you by another big brother. He said there is something very important in it, so he wanted you to take a look."

Shen Bai picked up the envelope and looked at it carefully for a moment. There was no signature or words on it.

He asked, "What does the older brother who asked you to write to me look like?"

The little girl tried hard to recall and shook her head, "I don't know, but he asked me to tell big brother that his name is Wang Tianxing."

Shen Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"This bastard hasn't forgotten to cause trouble for me yet."

He casually took some copper coins and placed them in the little girl's palm. After letting the little girl leave first, he picked up the letter.

Under Ouyang Jian's curiosity, Shen Bai opened the letter.

There wasn't much content in it, but when Shen Bai finished reading it, a murderous aura emerged in his heart.

"It's interesting. He even gave me a multiple-choice question."
