CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 224: MUST WIN OVER THIS WEN ZHIXING

"One, two, three, four, five... six... seven!"

Seven divine beast statues lit up simultaneously. Everyone present was instantly shocked; the scene was, to say the least, rather stunning.

They had never witnessed such a sight before.

All eyes moved back and forth between the seven glowing statues and Wen Zhixing.

Wen Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly as streaks of light fell upon him one after another.

Energy surged, ruffling the wisps of hair that had fallen across his forehead.

His entire being seemed immersed in an ocean of brilliance.

Wen Zhixing, who had just been the subject of scorn and treated as a joke, suddenly displayed monstrous talent.

This was all too sudden.

These statues had been still just a moment ago; why had they suddenly reacted now?

It really... lit up...

Jiang Baiyu stared blankly as the events unfolded before her.

"You see, it’s lit up now, isn’t it?"

The words Wen Zhixing had just spoken still echoed in her ears.

Clearly, those words were uttered before the divine beast statues lit up.

This meant everything was actually within his control.

"Seven have lit up, huh..."

Just then, she seemed to hear Wen Zhixing’s voice again.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Baiyu quickly focused her gaze, only to see Wen Zhixing with his eyes tightly shut.

It was as if his entire person had sunk into an illusion.

Those few words she thought she’d heard felt like an auditory hallucination.

This Wen Zhixing... he truly isn’t ordinary...

A faint glimmer of light flickered in Jiang Baiyu’s eyes.

Then, a smile spread across her face.

It seems my move just now was indeed the right one.

Winning over Wen Zhixing had been an impromptu decision on her part.

But she hadn’t expected Wen Zhixing to give her such a significant surprise.

Many in the crowd also turned their gazes toward Jiang Baiyu.

Jiang Baiyu’s judgment, in contrast, was indeed extraordinary, while they appeared rather shortsighted.

"Mr. Yang!"

At this moment, Qin Tian was exceptionally agitated.

His usually cold and indifferent face turned crimson with surging emotion.

With Wen Zhixing’s talent, if he’s refined into a Genius Spirit Seed for me to absorb, I’ll never be weaker than anyone else in the future!

He even felt the urge to capture Wen Zhixing right then and there.

"Xiao Tian, stay calm."

Qin Yang’s expression, however, grew a bit more solemn.

His gaze remained fixed on Wen Zhixing.

The fact that a full seven statues had lit up signified Wen Zhixing’s extraordinary talent.

Even within the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land, aside from those few peerless prodigies, likely no one could completely overshadow Wen Zhixing.

Wen Zhixing’s talent being so outstanding, however, could become somewhat troublesome.

After all, this wasn’t the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.

Not everything here was under his control.

If this matter were mishandled, it might cause considerable trouble.

Such trouble would be difficult even for him to handle.

"Mr. Yang, is it very troublesome?"

Noting Qin Yang’s expression, Qin Tian also sensed that something was amiss.

"It is a bit troublesome, but it should be solvable," Qin Yang replied, shaking his head.

Fortunately, Wen Zhixing isn’t a disciple of the Hundred Tribulations Holy Land right now. My intervention might displease some, but by paying a certain price, I should be able to settle the matter.

"I shall secure this Genius Spirit Seed for you."

A trace of deeply concealed murderous intent flickered in the corner of Qin Yang’s eyes.

So what if his talent is monstrous? Without backing and strength, he can only become nourishment for others.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang!"

Qin Tian was overjoyed.

His gaze towards Wen Zhixing became even more fervent.

Meanwhile, Wen Zhixing was immersed in his own world.

As expected, by altering my origin with the Fortune Divine Devil Skill, I was able to trigger the test again.

His divine soul slowly surfaced from his Sea of Sense. Its appearance had changed to exactly resemble that of the deceased Mu Yunqing.

Yes, the origin I mimicked was Mu Yunqing’s. Previously, because I had already been tested once, these statues showed no further reaction. Therefore, building upon Mu Yunqing’s foundation, I added a trace of the essence of longevity. That created an entirely new change.

And so, these statues finally lit up once more.

Perhaps because I had entered the illusion once before, I didn’t fall into it like last time. I can clearly feel my origin power being drawn by the seven divine statues. At the same time, I feel another power nourishing me in return.

What is this...?

Wen Zhixing’s divine soul looked up and saw that power descending upon his Sea of Sense.

This time, the Nine Heavens Thunder Tree showed no reaction.

It seemed completely unaffected.

The next moment, this power fiercely expanded.

A radiant point of spirit light burst forth, transforming into a dazzling brilliance that instantly enveloped the entire Sea of Sense.

This wasn’t all.

After one light screen appeared, another followed.

Soon, a full seven layers of light screens were protecting the Sea of Sense from the outside.

Simultaneously, these light screens connected with the Sea of Sense, maintaining a continuous flow of energy.

Is it protecting my Sea of Sense?

Wen Zhixing was slightly surprised. These statues... they seem to be making a deal. A fair trade, no deception. They absorb my origin power, and in return, they grant me something else.

Now, there are no issues. The initial problem is solved. The cultivation token is definitely obtainable. The Law Enforcement Hall members will surely have no proper excuse to target me now. All that remains is to see how others will react to me.

Fairy Eyes!

Wen Zhixing kept his eyes closed, pretending to still be immersed in the illusion.
