Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

To be honest, Yuan'er really couldn't tell.

Lin Yuan smiled happily, squinted her eyes, and parted her pink lips slightly.

"Speaking of which, so you're someone I know. No wonder you're looking at me like that. But I'm sorry, I don't have a very good memory. I have a hard time remembering anything except sheet music."

"So... what's your name again?"

"Li Junpeng..."

"Oh!" Yuan'er's eyes widened in surprise, and after a moment she blurted out, "It's a name I've never heard of before!"

What are you so surprised about if you've never heard of it!

For some reason, Li Junpeng suddenly regretted choosing such a young girl.

Although he really wanted to win, this girl seemed like an inexperienced fool, and winning wouldn't actually be very glorious.

The reason he secretly sabotaged things was simply to use this opportunity to strike a blow at Yun Ping and the others. In addition, he also wanted to climb the social ladder by marrying into the Jiang family, and attacking Yun Tian Academy would undoubtedly win the favor of a girl who had been beaten up by Jiang Yuetian.

In conclusion, Li Junpeng then arranged for Lin Yuan to sit opposite him.

But I just can't muster any enthusiasm right now... facing this guy who has absolutely no will to fight.

Li Junpeng weakly drew his sword, his spiritual energy, comparable to that of a minor mastery stage of the Divine Transformation realm, surging through his meridians.

He stared at Lin Yuan, who showed absolutely no desire to fight, his sword pointing directly at the girl's nose.

"Enough talk. Whether it's a coincidence or not, this is a battleground for all factions. Let's fight!"

The implication was that he should start fighting quickly, deal with this girl, and then he would have to consider the next target.

In fact, Li Junpeng had already planned it out. After defeating Lin Yuan, he would arrange for Fan Luokui to be his opponent, because Jiang Yuetian seemed to be stronger than he had imagined, and whether he could win was a question.

Fan Luokui seems to have won the first round because his opponent forfeited, so he's probably an easy target who can be easily manipulated.

"Well, in the end, we still have to fight."

Lin Yuan sighed with some melancholy. The little girl casually waved her right hand in front of her, and in an instant, a slightly worn-out guqin appeared before her.

琴？

Li Junpeng stared at Lin Yuan, who had suddenly sat down and placed the zither on her cross-legged legs, with a puzzled expression on his face.

He hadn't paid much attention to Lin Yuan's competition before. In his opinion, bringing such a little girl along was just to broaden her horizons. The fact that she survived the first round was probably just good luck.

But what on earth is this zither? Is it meant to be a prelude to a battle?

Little Kite casually plucked the strings a couple of times, and the clear and melodious sound immediately stirred up ripples.

She looked helplessly at Li Junpeng, who stood with his sword, gently lowered her soft hands, and pouted her lips.

“Yuan’er doesn’t actually like fighting, but the teacher will come to see Yuan’er, so Yuan’er has to win and can’t let the teacher down.”

After speaking, she seemed to remember something and said to Li Junpeng with great regret—

"Well, why don't you admit defeat? I'm afraid I might hurt you later. Although I don't remember who you are, you look familiar, so you must be someone I know. I don't want to hurt you."

I don't want to hurt you.

Five words, just five words, were enough to leave Li Junpeng speechless.

These extremely humiliating words kept replaying in his mind, causing the restless flames within him to erupt endlessly.

On the sword, verdant spiritual energy surged wildly. He glared fiercely at Lin Yuan and shouted sharply.

"Are all the people from Yuntian Academy so arrogant and disrespectful?!"

"what?"

Yuan'er had no idea why he suddenly became furious.

He was telling the truth. Li Junpeng was at the beginner level of the Transcendent God stage. If he didn't control his strength well, it could be fatal.

Even though I gave him such a kind reminder, why does he want to fight me even more?

Yuan'er didn't understand. She scratched her head blankly and looked at the furious Li Junpeng.

She was about to say a few more words to dissuade him from fighting, but Li Junpeng was already consumed by rage. He transformed into an arc of lightning and flew towards Lin Yuan in the distance.

With a sharp sword and feet treading on stars, Li Junpeng, as a member of the royal family, is already quite powerful. His swordsmanship and movement are among the best in the royal family.

Dealing with a mere little girl is no problem!

That would be strange.

hum!

The sound of the zither echoed.

Lin Yuan reluctantly plucked the strings, her delicate face filled with regret, as if from that moment on, she had pronounced Li Junpeng's defeat.

The joyful drums beat out the festive spirit year after year.

Accompanied by the rapid melody of the zither, Li Junpeng suddenly felt as if his soul was trembling. His steps froze, and the sense of crisis that had accumulated over the years forced him to slash at the void in front of him with his sword.

Ding!

The sound of the zither cut through the blade and collided violently with the sword, sparks of spiritual energy flying everywhere!

Even more terrifying, Li Junpeng was shocked to find that the sonic blade was even more powerful than he had imagined, and even with his cultivation level, he found it difficult to resist!

What is this?! Musical skill?!

Before Li Junpeng could recover, an extremely cheerful melody began to echo in his ears.

Lin Yuan's hands moved like wild bees, she didn't need to look at the instrument or the score, the instrument was naturally formed in her mind, every time she plucked the strings it was like she was waving her arms, every time she played a musical note it was like she was moving her legs, flowing smoothly and naturally.

Today is a good day; all your wishes will come true.

Today is a good day; I opened my door to welcome the spring breeze.

One sonic blade after another surged forth, accompanied by a lively melody and relentless, storm-like attacks that left no one able to stop.

Li Junpeng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. At that moment, he finally understood why Lin Yuan had advised him to surrender.

—This is impossible to fight!

Three sonic blades swept in from all directions from the ground. Li Junpeng had no time to pay attention to anything. After using his movement technique to avoid two extremely sharp sonic blades, he simply unleashed a sword aura, tearing through the void and knocking down the sonic blades at the same time.

But that wasn't the end of it. Lin Yuan plucked the strings again and unleashed several more musical techniques, sending dozens of sonic blades rushing forward like waves.

Li Junpeng was dumbfounded as he stared at the overwhelming sonic blades that obscured his view.

Flying everywhere, like the descent of ghosts and gods, he felt a scythe called death held across his neck, as if it could slice through his life at any moment like that sonic blade.

He could even picture himself being cut open by the countless sonic blades, his skin ripped open, leaving him covered in sores and looking pathetic.

Unstoppable.

Li Junpeng stared in horror at the endless sonic blades in the sky, his whole body trembling.

He knew he couldn't stop them at all!

……

Where's the silly girl I was promised?

What happened to the claim that they were the youngest, the weakest, and that getting through the first round was all down to luck?

Right now, what appeared before him was an unshakeable powerhouse. He had only ever seen such fear and intimidation in his own master, Chu Xin!

Good heavens, what the hell is this Cloud Heaven Academy?

With both the monster Jiang Yuetian and the master of the zither, is Yuntian Academy really a sect from some unknown small city?

This looks like a monster concentration camp!

Faced with the sonic blade that was enough to engulf him completely, Li Junpeng was so frightened that his face turned pale, his sword trembled and fell to the ground, and he collapsed backward.

We can't beat them, we really can't beat them!

If this continues, someone will really die!

"I give up! I give up!! I give up!"

He started shouting wildly. In the face of life and death, glory and dignity were nothing but bullshit to him!

All he wanted to do now was leave this godforsaken place immediately and never have any contact with anyone from Yuntian Academy again for the rest of his life!

That's terrifying! That's horrifying!

After the words of surrender were uttered, the sonic blades that filled the sky with debris and obscured the heavens suddenly stopped, and the kite finally stopped too. The cheerful and festive music also slowly faded away.

Li Junpeng was teleported out of the martial arts arena, but Yuan'er noticed that there was a puddle of liquid where he had been sitting.

……

Is this... because he peed his pants from fright?

A dignified cultivator in the Transcendent God stage was scared to death by a song called "Good Days"?

Meanwhile, Yun Ping, who was about to take Chu Xin and Chu Chenxi to check on the situation, suddenly stopped.

He turned around and smiled at the two imperial princesses.

"They're finished."

"It's over?" Chu Chenxi exclaimed in surprise. "So fast? Did Yuan'er win?!"

Xiao Chenxi's relationship with Yuan'er is second only to her relationship with Fan Luokui, after all, the two children can easily play together.

At this moment, she was also quite concerned about whether Yuan'er could win.

"We won, and it was pretty easy."

Old Yun nodded, which finally put Chu Chenxi at ease.

Chu Xin frowned.

"How did she win? I remember Li Junpeng had just advanced to the Transcendental Stage not long ago."

"Who knows why..."

Yunping spread his hands and smiled.

"Maybe it's because today is a good day."
