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

A mighty black tide swept in, surging towards the Lantian Empire, which had long since been reduced to mere rice and fish.

11. Join the battlefield

"The situation is not good."

The silver-haired girl had a solemn and serious expression. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her expression turned cold. She lowered her head and stared intently, breathing rapidly as if facing a formidable enemy.

She knew that the current situation had reached a one-sided point; it was an absolute crushing, an irresistible oppression.

Ye Yuchan nervously bit her nails, her delicate body trembling slightly, her mind constantly searching for a way to break the deadlock.

How to do?

How to do?

How exactly can we break through this obvious deadlock?

The enemy general's abilities far surpass her own, and her own general has already been severely injured and is now on the verge of death. She will be cut down within a few rounds!

How exactly can I...?

Only then can you win this game of Dou Dizhu!

"Hurry up, I'm getting impatient."

Suddenly, Zhang Ruoxue's sarcastic laughter came from the side.

—This line was used by Ye Yuchan to mock Zhang Ruoxue in the previous game, and Ruoxue used it in this game.

Ye Yuchan held a 4 of spades in her hand and glared at Zhang Ruoxue with annoyance: "Why are you in such a hurry? Take your time... I... I haven't lost yet!"

"Anyway, it's definitely a bad hand~" Zhang Ruoxue chuckled.

Jiang Yuetian glanced at Zhang Ruoxue's full ten cards and thought to herself, "You haven't played a single card yet... and you still have the nerve to criticize her..."

But it makes sense. Ruoxue's brain is basically not good enough for this game. It's already difficult enough for her to remember the rules, let alone expect her to kill someone with ten cards.

In Fan Luokui's words, Zhang Ruoxue was already being generous by not throwing the cards directly at the landlord's face and having a real-life "fight" against the landlord.

"Have you thought it through, Senior Sister Ye?" Fan Luokui asked calmly, her tone carrying a hint of confidence.

Ye Yuchan glanced at Fan Luokui, stared at the 4 of spades in her hand, then looked at the gleaming 5 of hearts on the table, and said helplessly, "Fine, I can't play..."

"I see."

Fan Luokui smiled knowingly.

Then came two straight flushes plus a bomb, sending Ye Yuchan to her death on the spot.

After Fan Luokui got rid of his hand, Jiang Yuetian smiled and played all his cards, and it was a big hand that he could win even if he broke them up and played them one by one.

Finally, it was Ye Yuchan's turn to have a 1v1 duel with Zhang Ruoxue.

"Ah, it's me, right..."

Zhang Ruoxue scratched her head, stared at the ten cards in her hand, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

Seeing Zhang Ruoxue deep in thought, Ye Yuchan's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

Oh, and this silly girl too.

Maybe she'll have a brain fart and give away a 3, then I'll survive! Even winning by one is better than getting beaten up!

Ruoxue, I'm counting on you!

Ye Yuchan stared at Zhang Ruoxue expectantly, thinking to herself, "You're not going to beat me with ten cards, are you?"

The thought crossed my mind the instant it appeared.

Zhang Ruoxue seemed to have finally confirmed her strategy, and what followed was—

Snapped.

Zhang Ruoxue spread out her cards, then asked Jiang Yuetian and the other person uncertainly, "Does this count as a straight?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and, as expected, saw a sequence from 3 to Q.

And they're all the same color.

Jiang Yuetian's expression froze: "Ten straight flushes? Are you a god?"

Zhang Ruoxue blinked: "Does a saint count as a deity?"

Everyone: "..."

Ye Yuchan was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped, and the last spade 4 in her hand fell helplessly to the ground.

The first Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) tournament at Yuntian Academy ended in a complete defeat for Ye Yuchan.

"I'm not playing anymore, my head is going to explode..."

Ye Yuchan shook her head, glaring at Jiang Yuetian with annoyance, and asked, "Why is my luck even worse than my second senior brother's? This doesn't make sense..."

Jiang Yuetian scratched his face and laughed, "I think it's probably because Junior Sister Ruoxue is just too lucky."

“Agreed.” Fan Luokui nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ruoxue is incredibly lucky; she's always on fire. She can easily get ten straight flushes in a row, and sometimes she even gets a series of bombs. She hasn't lost a single game.

Ye Yuchan even suspected that the girl had cheated, but then she thought again that it was probably not that bad; Zhang Ruoxue's brain couldn't support her cheating.

In other words, she was completely defeated by pure luck.

"Wow, playing cards is really fun!"

Zhang Ruoxue, the "card-playing prodigy," smiled foolishly, seemingly deeply interested in the game.

Jiang Yuetian trembled slightly, and a hint of fear appeared in her eyes as she looked at Zhang Ruoxue.

It seems I won't be able to play cards with Ruoxue anymore.

That's the fate of being dumped.

"Speaking of which, why do we play cards at the sports meet?"

It was at this moment that Fan Luokui posed a profound question.

Faced with this problem, Ye Yuchan, the organizer of the sports meet, slumped her shoulders helplessly and said, "There's nothing I can do. We've already tried most of the events, and I can't think of any other activities."

"Besides, if the sports meet ends like this, there'll be nothing to do again, and that old scoundrel still hasn't come out..."

That concludes the discussion.

All eyes were drawn to the door that had been closed for so long.

These past few days, the old rogue has made no move whatsoever inside. He claims to be in seclusion, but there's no spiritual energy, no sound, as if he's vanished from the world. Ye Yuchan and the others suspect that the old rogue might be taking this opportunity to slip out and have some fun.

"Ugh."

Ye Yuchan sighed, then took out the snow-white scoreboard from her storage ring and added a few more strokes to Zhang Ruoxue's column using her spiritual energy.

"So, Ruoxue has 888 points, ranking first... Luo Kui has 666 points, ranking second..."

Jiang Yuetian smiled helplessly: "Our college seems to have a bit of an imbalance between women and men."

“A little.” Fan Luokui nodded, then turned her gaze to the scoreboard and murmured, “So, what follows is…”

Before he could finish speaking...

Suddenly, a cold wind swept over everyone's heads.

Everyone, including Ye Yuchan, paused for a moment, then simultaneously raised their heads to look at the sky, which had inexplicably become oppressive.

That was not demonic energy, but rather the darkness that contained boundless divine might when it connected with the heavens and the Dao...

Ye Yuchan slowly put down the scoreboard, her expression grave: "That is..."

Fan Luo Kui's pale golden eyes slowly condensed into a shape resembling a dragon's pupil, and she couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "There's a very strange aura in the Extreme Heaven Domain..."

"Towards that direction—"

Jiang Yuetian turned to the side and looked into the distance in a certain direction.

Ye Yuchan and Zhang Ruoxue clearly remembered that direction—

Three days at the academy.

Not only that.

The crowd even noticed that another part of the heavens was trembling.

Above your head, and below your feet.

It was as if the heavens themselves were afraid, filled with dread.

"The Immortal Capital and the Demon Dynasty... have made their move."

Still wearing his basketball jersey, the blond swordsman pushed open the back door and entered, his face extremely solemn: "It's faster than I expected."

Lin Yuan and Gu Xingzhuo also returned from outside the academy, and everyone from Yuntian Academy gathered here, their faces as gloomy as if shrouded in a dark cloud.

The group turned around simultaneously, their eyes all focused on the tightly closed door.

The Immortal Capital and the Demon Dynasty have now arrived, and the only person who can stop them is currently in seclusion.

How to do?

The group looked at each other, hesitating and undecided.

boom!

It was like a routine entrance.

The white robes fluttered in the strong wind as the door opened. The dean of Yuntian Academy kicked open the door, a faint smile on his face.

"I've kept you waiting, my beloved disciples~"

Yun Ping was surrounded by three items that seemed to have deliberately concealed their light; these were the three relics that Yun Ping had taken from the Imperial Treasury earlier!

At this moment, the broken sword is reforged, the painting gleams, and the ink brush is stained with mystery.

It was as if they had always been like this, only previously buried within the imperial treasury.

The old rogue curled his lips into his signature sly grin and licked them with interest.

"It's time for us to join the battle."
