The next day.

Arrival at the higher vocational college.

Four people got off the bus and walked.

A cedar forest stands on both sides of the road, its canopy overlapping overhead to form an archway.

The afternoon light seeped through the cracks, cutting out fragments of light and shadow on the stone pavement.

Gojo Satoru walked at the very front.

Riko walked in the middle.

Tian Zechen was half a step behind her on her left, and Xia Youjie was on her right.

The stone-paved road stretches forward.

The tree canopy gradually thickened, while the patches of sunlight overhead became increasingly sparse.

Riko spoke up.

"From now on, I am Tengen, and Tengen is me."

She rediscovered her former optimistic and somewhat naive self, slightly raising her chin and turning around to proudly put her hands on her hips.

"From now on, all three of you will have to obey my orders."

Tian Zechen chuckled.

"Thank you so much, Lady Riko."

Riko's footsteps continued to echo on the stone path.

She stomped harder than before, the soles of her shoes making a rhythmic rubbing sound as they ground against the stone slabs.

The stone path turned into a denser cedar forest.

The tree canopy almost completely blocked out the sunlight, and the surroundings became quiet...

A broken leaf fell from a great height.

The leaf was freshly broken, with green sap at the break.

I looked up.

There was a shadow on the right side of the top of his head.

The speed increased to a point that was difficult to keep up with the naked eye in an instant.

The tip of Tengoku Hoko pierced through the tree canopy, its target aimed directly at Gojo Satoru's nape.

The sound of the blade tearing through the air was narrow and sharp, like cloth being ripped apart rapidly, piercing down from the depths of the tree canopy.

Tian Zechen twisted his right foot on the stone slab, the sole of his shoe grinding out a faint sound of sand and gravel rubbing together.

He turned his body to the side, his left arm crossed in front of Riko, his forearm forming a barrier in front of her shoulder, pulling her back a step.

At the same time, take a second step with your right foot.

He appeared to the right of Gojo Satoru.

Between the body and the point where the blade strikes.

Raise your right forearm, align the heel of your palm with the side of the blade, and grip the spine of the blade with your five fingers.

The trajectory of the Heavenly Reversal Blade was shifted laterally.

The tip of the knife slid past the outside of Gojo's right shoulder and missed.

clang!

Gojo Satoru suddenly turned around.

The eyes behind the sunglasses first saw Tian Zechen's hand gripping the spine of the knife, his five fingers firmly planted on the back of the blade. The gaze followed the blade upwards to the person holding it.

It is Tian Zechen.

When Fu Heishen'er's attack failed, he kicked Tian Zechen hard, forcing Tian Zechen to let go and immediately retreat.

Finally, its true form was revealed.

There's an old scar on the corner of his mouth. He smiles, and the old scar twitches slightly as it's moved. His eyes are squinting.

Slightly loosen your grip on the knife and readjust your hand position.

Tian Zechen dodged the straight kick without turning around, his voice turning cold.

"Natsuyu, take Riko to the Shrine of the Red Star."

Xia Youjie hesitated for a moment, then saw that Wu Tiaowu was also standing still and tacitly agreeing.

He took a step forward, put a hand on her shoulder and took the girl from Tennori, and their footsteps quickly faded into the distance.

"Keep an eye on things and cover for me."

Gojo Satoru hesitated for a moment, looking at Tensawa Chen, whose face was full of certainty.

"Anyway, with me here, Tianze, you can have some fun if you want."

He then retreated to the side of the cedar tree, crossed his arms in front of his chest, took off his sunglasses, and leaned against the tree trunk.

The six pale blue eyes lit up in the shade of the trees.

Tian Zechen turned around and faced Fu Heishen.

Fuheishener stood three steps away, with the Heavenly Reverse Blade hanging at his side.

The two people looked at each other across a distance of three stone slabs.

Fuheishen frowned slightly as he looked at Tianze Chen, whose appearance did not match the intelligence reports.

The fact that she just blocked the attack is something a support healer couldn't possibly do.

The cedar needles swayed gently overhead, and the dappled sunlight slowly moved across the muddy ground between the two of them.

"Oh well, he's just a brat, it doesn't matter..."

Fuhesh took a step forward, bending his knees to lower his center of gravity.

The Heavenly Reversal Blade is raised from below, its tip angled upwards from ground level, cutting from the abdomen toward the chest.

Tian Zechen took half a step back, his heel clicking sharply on the stone slab.

The knife tip grazed his chest.

After the upward strike misses, the blade flips over and slashes downwards.

Tian Zechen turned to the side, and the blade slashed down from the outside of his left shoulder, striking the stone slab.

A small piece of stone broke off from the edge of the stone slab, bounced up, and landed in the soil next to it.

As Tian Zechen turned to the side, he reached out with his right hand, fingers spread, and grabbed Fu Heishen's wrist that was holding the knife.

Fu Heishen'er flipped his wrist, turned the hilt of the knife at a different angle, and the blade swept horizontally toward Tian Zechen's fingers.

Tian Zechen stopped in time, the blade grazing just above his knuckles.

The two retreated simultaneously in perfect unison.

Two rounds.

The probing is over.

Fuheishen'er frowned, already considering whether or not to retreat.

Tian Zechen silently activated "Rejuvenation," and the positive energy that was originally used to slowly temper his body now filled his entire body.

"I need to get serious..."

Gojo Satoru's eyes widened. "What...is this...?"

next moment.

The Heavenly Reversal Blade let out a sharp whistle in the air and pierced straight towards Tian Zechen's throat. Its speed was much faster than the previous two strikes, and the tip of the blade appeared as a mere silver line in Tian Zechen's eyes.

Tian Zechen's body tilted to the left.

The knife tip pierced his neck, and at the same time, he raised his right hand and slapped the blade.

A tremendous force traveled along the blade, causing the Tian Ni Hao to veer to the right. Fu Hei Shen'er's hand holding the blade swayed, and he almost lost his grip.

The light around Tian Zechen was slightly distorted. Standing in the shadow of the cedar forest, the edges of his silhouette seemed to be enveloped by a heat wave, swaying slightly.

A powerful spiritual force emanated from his body, causing the needles of the surrounding cedar trees to move swiftly without wind.

"call……"

Tian Zechen moved his right shoulder, making a slight clicking sound.

The slight tremor of the tip of the Heavenly Reverse Blade in Fuheishen's hand, the rhythm of his chest rising and falling with his breath, the trajectory of sweat sliding from his temples to his jaw... all were crystal clear.

Fuheishen's lips were pressed into a straight line, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

He took half a step back.

Tian Zechen naturally saw it.

"Want to leave?"

Step out.

The soil at the edges was shaken up.

His right leg swept out along the ground, the grass blades in the path of his shin being flattened by the wind pressure and landing on Fuheshen's calf.

Bang!

Fuhesh'er's feet were swept off the ground, and he fell to the right.

His entire body was briefly suspended in the air, his knees were still floating upwards, and his upper body leaned back due to inertia. His hand holding the knife went out of control, and the tip of the knife drew a crooked arc in the air.

After Tian Zechen swept his right leg, he used the momentum to twist his waist.

A palm struck Shen'er squarely in the center of his chest.

A visible wave of air rose up, causing ripples on the skin and flesh, and the surrounding air was compressed into a low, muffled sound.

boom! !

Shen Er's body was slammed down from the air by a palm strike.

It crashed into the mud, landing face down.

The ground was smashed into a deep crater, and dirt and gravel splashed outwards from the edge of the crater.

"Wow……!"

In the center of the depression, Fu Heishen coughed up blood and instantly lost consciousness.

Lying on my back.

The Heavenly Blade slipped from his grasp, his arms outstretched to his sides, the fabric of his uniform at the location of the palm print dented in, his ribs already broken.

Tian Zechen stood beside the depression.

The positive energy slowly receded from the body's surface, and the distortion of the light around the body gradually returned to normal.

The cedar needles fell still.

He stretched his right shoulder and then turned around.

Gojo Satoru straightened up from the cedar tree trunk.

He took off his sunglasses, the lenses reflecting a few streaks of light that had fallen from above.

Six azure eyes shone in the shade of the trees, pupils slightly constricted, staring at Tian Zechen, Adam's apple bobbing.

"You've really kept that a secret..."

Tian Zechen brushed the mud off his trousers.

"He's in your hands now."

Gojo Satoru glanced at the dent in the sunken area.

"Not kill him?"

"Don't kill."

Gojo Satoru didn't ask why. He pushed his sunglasses up a bit, took out his communication device from his pocket, and tapped a few times on the screen.

"Assistant supervisor will be there in ten minutes. As for Ryousei-no-miya..."

He glanced into the depths of the stone-paved road.

The direction Xia Youjie and Lizi left in.

"I'll go first."
