Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Final assessment.

The assessment included Chen Nian receiving a punch from the hospital director.

Ahead, an old man dressed in a neat suit and wearing glasses slowly brought his five fingers together.

Chen Nian took a deep breath.

This time, he didn't even attempt to achieve physical sainthood.

Seven days have passed, and things are completely different now. He can now truly feel that "qi" is gathering.

This energy originates from the various worlds of the World Tree. It enters the body, is tempered by the "Nine Heavens Azure Sky," and is eventually transformed into power.

"Catch him, kid!"

The dean threw a punch.

Those invisible "qi" are like thousands of surging torrents.

The energy contained within is not a single type, but a fusion of multiple elements that complement each other.

This is what makes "Nine Heavens Azure Sky" so powerful; it can fuse various different forces to elevate the level of power to a higher level.

This time, Chen Nian did not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

He adopted an offensive strategy and threw a punch as well.

Nine Revolutions Mystic Technique, Dragons Battle in the Wilderness!

A golden dragon... no, this time it's no ordinary golden dragon!

The golden dragon was covered by a faint aura, as if it were wearing a layer of white scale armor, which turned it golden white.

boom----

The two collided and disappeared.

The terrifying "qi" tore countless cracks into the arena floor.

But this time, Chen Nian was completely unharmed.

He incorporated the Nine Heavens Azure Sky into Dragon Battle in the Wild, unleashing an unprecedentedly terrifying golden dragon that forcefully withstood the Dean's attack.

This means that he has already stepped into the threshold of this supreme skill.

In the future, whether it is a physical attack or a verbal attack, as long as the "qi" of the Nine Heavens and Azure Sky is added, the power will be greatly increased!

The dean remained silent for a while, then pushed up his glasses and chuckled.

"Good lad..."

In fact, the dean never underestimated Chen Nian; in his mind, Chen Nian was already a top genius.

Even a top genius can't achieve mastery in seven days; it would take at least one or two months, right? After all, it took me a full three years to even get started.

But he... actually managed to get the hang of it within seven days.

Long ago, the abbot did try to teach this method to other talented students, but one student practiced it for six months without making any progress and gave up. He never taught it to anyone else after that.

"Congratulations, you passed the test. You've made good progress."

"Thank you so much, Dean, for your meticulous guidance over the past seven days!"

.......

After the dean left, we went to the main archive.

"Miss, that boy Chen Nian only took seven days to master the Nine Heavens Azure Heaven Technique! It's simply unbelievable!"

"He...as expected..."

Mo Ning raised her head slightly, her eyes glazed over.

"Logically speaking, the Nine Heavens Azure Sky technique is the most difficult cultivation method in the world. It requires a deep understanding of the power of multiple worlds and the ability to integrate them. How could he possibly have progressed so quickly?"

You'll find out later.

Mo Ning did not tell the dean his guess.

She's currently brewing a plan in her mind that no one knows about... a plan that would seem unbelievable to anyone who hears about it.

This plan will be executed at the most critical and desperate moment.

Therefore, she also needs to constantly gather intelligence and information, and make plans and preparations.

As the player, she cannot afford to make a single mistake.

........

As for Chen Nian, he has completed his studies and it's time for him to take revenge.

He found Pear Blossom and launched another challenge.

Now, after initially mastering the "Nine Heavens Azure Sky" technique, Chen Nian's strength has reached the peak of the seventh rank. However, fighting the eighth-rank Pear Blossom is still considered a challenge beyond his rank.

"It's only been a few days, and you're here again? Didn't you suffer enough last time?"

"Come on, let's raise the stakes this time," Chen Nian said with a smile.

"Tell me, how big is it?"

Chen Nian smiled and said, "If I win, you'll kiss me in front of Senior An."

"...Why in front of her? Why can't we do it in private?" Rika stammered.

"That's more exciting."

Rika: "What if you lose?"

"You name it, any conditions are fine."

After a moment's thought, Pear Blossom blushed slightly and said, "Then let's reverse your conditions."

"The opposite?" Chen Nian thought for a moment. "You mean, I'll kiss Senior An in front of you?"

"Pah! You're shameless."

"Didn't you say the opposite of what you said?" Chen Nian asked, puzzled.

"The opposite is...you kiss...kiss me in front of her." Pear Blossom's voice lowered with embarrassment as she spoke.

"Then it's settled."

Without a doubt, this is a high-stakes match, and both sides will give it their all.

Upon arriving at the arena, the battle officially begins.

"How about we settle this with one move? Like the one we used before?" Chen Nian suggested.

"what ever!"

Pear Blossom didn't believe it either. Chen Nian had suffered a crushing defeat last time. What changes could he have made in just seven days?

Chen Nian used the Fingertip Star again.

Countless rays of starlight converged at his fingertips, and a tiny, radiant star stood on his index finger.

However, this time is different from the last time, because it also incorporates the refined energy of "Nine Heavens Azure Sky"!

There is actually a word that can express the energy contained in "qi".

Awe-inspiring!

There is another line of poetry that can also describe the mystery of Qi.

A touch of noble spirit, a thousand miles of exhilarating wind!

The righteous energy is also a kind of energy in the universe, and the mystery of "Nine Heavens Azure Sky" lies in the fact that it can transform all these energies into energy.

Although Chen Nian is only a beginner and cannot possess a grand "qi" (energy/spirit), it is enough to make up for the gap between him and Li Hua.

"The Finger of the Celestial Cave!"

"Stars at your fingertips".

Thus, the scene of exchanging powerful attacks appeared once again.

The arena maintenance staff are really working themselves to the bone. Normally, this place rarely gets damaged, but these days it happens frequently, forcing them to work overtime to maintain and repair it.

Here we go again.

boom!!

A terrifying clash of energy.

Final result.

Chen Nian remained standing in the same spot, unharmed as he had been last time.

And pear blossoms....

The passively activated "Zero Boundary" helped her withstand the aftershocks of the energy; otherwise, she would have been injured.

This means that in the clash of their ultimate moves, Chen Nian, who is of a higher level, actually has a slight advantage!

"How is this possible...? You've become so much stronger in just seven days?!"

"Haha, we underwent seven days of secret special training."

Chen Nian was very satisfied with the power of the Nine Heavens Azure Sky, which was indeed worthy of being created by the legendary figure who fought his way up from the ninth level to the first level.

"Don't leave later, let's go have dinner with Senior An."

"..."

"What, you're betting, you can't go back on your word."

"Fine, I'll go!"

Pear Blossom glared at Chen Nian with her beautiful eyes, then covered her face and quickly left the arena.

Although she lost, she didn't feel any resentment; she was just shy.

In a little while, I'm going to kiss this guy in front of Senior An...

.....

The third floor of the cafeteria.

Chen Nian, Li Hua, and An Qingluo sat at a table.

"Chen Nian, what's wrong with you?"

An Qingluo said with a half-smile, "Lately, instead of your cute little girlfriend, you've been spending all your time with Lihua. Aren't you afraid?"

"How could I be hanging out with him every day?" Pear Blossom retorted first.

Chen Nian shrugged: "Xiao Yu has just awakened some kind of power and has been intensifying her seclusion to cultivate recently, since it's us fifth-tier beings who will soon suffer."

"Oh, so you dared to secretly play with us because everyone else was busy."

"Senior, you can't say that, it's too formal. You like sweets, so this strawberry cake is for you."

"Look at your shamelessness, I can't even distance myself from you."

An Qinglu smiled and began eating the strawberry cake.

However, she immediately noticed that Pear Blossom beside her looked very unnatural, and she wasn't eating. She was hanging her head and seemed to be struggling with something.

"Pear Blossom, what's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing."

What Pear Blossom was thinking about now was how to openly and legitimately kiss Chen Nian.

Although she didn't object to kissing Chen Nian, it would be too embarrassing to do it in front of An Qingluo. If she were seen doing it, she would probably want to find a hole to crawl into on the spot.

Suddenly, she had an idea.

"Qingluo, can you close your eyes?"

"What's wrong...?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to give you a surprise."

"oh...."

An Qingluo obediently closed her eyes.

Just now.

The boundless realm of Yin and Yang, open!

In an instant, the entire cafeteria turned black and white, and time slowed down to an extreme.

The waiter carrying the dishes stopped in his tracks, the others continued talking, and An Qingluo remained motionless with her eyes closed.

Pear Blossom quickly stood up, leaned close to Chen Nian, and kissed him.

This way, even if the bet is fulfilled, An Qingluo won't find out, achieving the best of both worlds.

Pear Blossom sat back in her seat, dispelling the boundless boundary of Yin and Yang.

Time flowed back to normal, and the surrounding colors returned.

An Qingluo asked blankly, "Pear Blossom, can I open my eyes now?"

"That's fine."

"So what surprise are you going to give me?"

"Um... well... I just stole one of your strawberries, hehe."

"You're usually so well-behaved, I didn't expect you to be so mischievous!"

At that moment, Chen Nian exposed Li Hua's lie without hesitation.

"She used her domain while you had your eyes closed just now, actually to kiss me," Chen Nian said.

"Nonsense!"

Pear Blossom slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Chen Nian, you're spreading rumors!"

"Look how red her ears are, she's obviously not good at lying."

An Qingluo crossed her legs, glanced at the two of them, and smiled kindly.

"So, I've become part of your play?"

.......

The next day.

The college held a mobilization meeting.

From the junior level to the senior level, all students and all instructors were present without exception.

"Have you noticed...? Recently, many students who were on leave have been recalled."

"Yeah...maybe the academy is planning something big!"

Chen Nian also saw familiar faces, such as Mu Yun, the king of pretentiousness, and Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai's senior brother, all of whom had returned to the academy.

The speaker on stage was still the dean.

However, Chen Nian now knows that all the planning and deployments were actually decided by Sister Mo. The dean was just the executor; she was the academy's strategist.

The dean's loud voice resonated throughout the auditorium.

"Gentlemen, the Fifth Tier is in grave danger; this will be our most crucial battle."

"If the fifth level falls and the territory of the Tree of Calamity continues to expand, it will offset the suppression of the World Tree's rules."

"And the consequence of this is... those three are no longer restricted and can take action themselves!"

The so-called three are, of course, the seventh, the eighth, and the eldest, the three guardians of the hierarchy.

"If they take action themselves, the fourth, third, second, and first tiers will be unable to stop them, and the entire World Tree will be invaded! We must not allow this to happen."

The trainees suddenly realized how crucial this battle was!

Wouldn't it be like a dam breaking, causing a complete collapse, if the fifth tier were to disappear...?

No wonder so many people have been recalled.

"Of course, some trainees will not be able to return. They are doing their best to destroy the saplings of the Calamity Tree in the lower levels, weakening the power of the Calamity Tree."

"And your mission is to defend the fifth level!"

"Not only the core world, but every single world in the fifth tier must not be allowed to leave!"

"For every bit of territory ceded, the Tree of Calamity is planted, and the opponent's power increases by one bit."

"Similarly, this mission is based on the principle of voluntariness. If any of you wish to leave, you may do so now; the academy will never force anyone."

After a brief silence.

People gradually left the auditorium.

Not everyone is willing to risk their life for someone else's world until the fire reaches them.

Ultimately, about 40% of the trainees remained.

Fortunately, the Academy's World Tree Train has established anchor points in many worlds, allowing it to carry many students across.

As for worlds without anchor points, you need to use "Boundary Breaking Vehicles" and "Teleporters" to travel to them.

The trainees were divided into small teams and prepared to travel to various worlds.

Of course, the academy did not know exactly where the core world of the fifth level was located, only a general guess, so the personnel sent out were relatively evenly distributed.

As for Chen Nian, Li Hua, Su Jinyu, and others, since they originally belonged to Blue Star, they were naturally sent to Blue Star to guard it.

Tang Rou was also dispatched there as part of the accompanying medical team.

They are protecting not only the fifth class, but also their own homeland.

Once all the trainees were ready, the World Tree Train, carrying a large number of trainees, officially departed.

One group of trainees after another disembarked in the world of the fifth level.

"good luck!"

"Take care of yourself."

May your military prowess be abundant!

The atmosphere was heavy as everyone left, because everyone knew this battle was extremely dangerous.

Soon, we arrived at Blue Star.

Chen Nian, Su Jinyu, Tang Rou, Li Hua, and the others also got off the bus.

The familiar sky, the familiar air.

"Finally back..."

"It's been so long since I've seen my sister. I'm going home to visit her first," Pear Blossom said.

Chen Nian nodded: "I will also inform our friends in this world that a great war is coming, and they should also be mentally prepared."

"They must be your female confidantes!" Su Jinyu snorted.

Chen Nian certainly couldn't let them go.

The college anticipates the event will take place in three days.

Three days later, the army of calamity will complete its migration and arrive in various worlds of the fifth level, launching a full-scale invasion.
