Chapter 1172 - 388: Put Away Your Arrogance and Prejudice

"Furthermore, after they joined forces, they could slay Rank Six alien prodigies, something Jin Guoqian is completely incapable of. As for me... I’m even more of a joke.

"You should all repent for your ignorance."

Bai Ziqing’s eyes continued to stare at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The moment he turned around, the video feed from Nanwu showed that Su Yue had set a record for the nineteenth tide. He had succeeded.

"Jin Guoqian, you carry the hope of the Divine Land’s rise. You must not let me down," Bai Ziqing murmured to himself shortly after.

Su Yue, Bai Xiaolong, and Meng Yang were the same kind of people. They had grown up along the way without the Divine Land sparing no effort to cultivate them. All the opportunities they obtained were exchanged for military merits; essentially, they were free. Therefore, Su Yue could refuse the mission to infiltrate the Eight Races Sacred Land, but Jin Guoqian could not. He was a professional soldier; even if the Military Department ordered him to die, he would have to go to his death resolutely. This was responsibility. At the same time, the same applied to him, Bai Ziqing. Whatever one gained, they had to pay a corresponding price.

Inside the tidal broken bridge.

Su Yue successfully endured the nineteenth tide. It went very smoothly and flawlessly.

Available Reward Points: 91,101

1. Sleep Pardon

2. Price of Love (Next use costs 5,500 Reward Points)

3. Save Your Dog Life

4. Humans and Ghosts Are Different

5. Wretched Invisibility

6. Deaf and Blind

Qi Blood value: 3,922 cals.

He was only 78 cals of Qi Blood away from Rank Five. Moreover, Su Yue knew very well that hoping to gain any more benefits from the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge was already a fool’s dream. This was the shackle of aptitude; even if he desperately held on for the twentieth tide, it wouldn’t mean anything. In fact, the effect of the nineteenth tide on Su Yue was already so minuscule that it could be ignored.

He didn’t have a single speck of impurities left in his body now. After returning to West Martial, he could recklessly consume a batch of Qi Blood Pills. Su Yue was confident that he could reach the 4,000-cal Great Perfection within two months. As for when he could break through to Rank Five, that would depend on luck and timing. Breaking through too quickly came with this tiny flaw.

It was time to leave.

Su Yue gazed into the endless horizon of the sea. It was sparkling and indescribably spectacular.

"I wonder what’s in the depths of the sea!" Su Yue murmured to himself as he waited to leave.

Because his feet were trapped on the reef, Su Yue’s body couldn’t move a single step. Theoretically, by wrapping Qi Blood around his feet, Su Yue could run on the sea for a certain distance. What a pity.

RUMBLE!

The twentieth tide was already brewing, and the rule for Su Yue to leave the broken bridge was about to take effect. Right in the nick of time, a light bulb went off in Su Yue’s head.

"I can still switch to my Yangxiang Race identity. Should I give it a try?" he thought.

The Yangxiang Race body also had a lot of impurities accumulated inside, which Su Yue usually couldn’t be bothered to deal with. Although there were no pills and its Qi Blood couldn’t be boosted, he could try to clear out its impurities. Anyway, the Grandmasters outside the broken bridge couldn’t sense his situation at all, so it was impossible to be exposed. Taking a step back, even if it had no effect on the Yangxiang Race body, there was no harm in it. Trying it wouldn’t kill him.

"Switch," he decided. With a single thought, the system instantly turned him into the handsome Yangxiang Race youth, Hong Guo. Having stayed on Earth for so long, Su Yue subconsciously forgot about his Yangxiang Race identity. Not to mention, he was completely exhausted from dealing with the tides just now, his energy completely drained, so he had almost forgotten about it.

At the same time, the unprecedented twentieth tide rushed toward him. Su Yue, having switched bodies, was not forcibly evicted. The familiar excruciating pain descended, viciously tearing at his body. However, a smile curled on the corners of Su Yue’s mouth. He had succeeded. Using the Yangxiang Race body, he withstood another tide.

This time, the tide directly cleared out seventy percent of the impurities in Su Yue’s body. The effect was immensely better than when he was in his human state. Unfortunately, Su Yue’s Qi Blood did not skyrocket. It only increased by 1 cal, likely because the impurities had been cleared.

"If it can’t boost my Qi Blood, I’ll endure one more tide to completely remove the impurities from the Yangxiang Race body and then get out. There’s no point in staying here," Su Yue muttered to himself.

He briefly analyzed it. The reason it was easier to remove impurities from the Yangxiang Race body might be because the Evil Spirit Broken Bridge was originally a treasure of the Yangxiang Race, so its affinity was higher. But there were no additional effects. Furthermore, the twentieth tide wasn’t as painful as before. He didn’t know if he had just gotten used to it or if it was because of the Yangxiang Race body.

Su Yue didn’t want to trigger too many tides, either. If the numbers were too outrageous, it would easily arouse suspicion and add unnecessary trouble. Besides, there was no extra bounty for breaking records.

"One more time. Make it twenty-one times," Su Yue made up his mind as the twentieth tide was about to end.

Nanwu Square.

Su Yue had no idea how much of a sensation he had caused. The twentieth tide! This had surpassed Bai Ziqing by three times. It was practically a miracle.

Principal Nanwu and the others were completely baffled. They knew Su Yue had a solid foundation, but they hadn’t expected him to be so unreasonably strong. Even Mu Jingliang was starting to doubt the world. He could have sworn earlier that Su Yue was definitely coming out; he had even sensed Su Yue’s aura. But in a sudden instant, Su Yue’s aura disappeared again. It was as if he had stepped onto the broken bridge once more. It was very bizarre.

"Everyone, don’t make a fuss over nothing. Perhaps Su Yue has some treasure on him. Mu Cheng also benefited from the Creation Sword," Mu Jingliang analyzed. This was the only way he could make sense of it for now.

"If it’s because of a treasure, then it makes sense," Principal Nanwu nodded thoughtfully. It had to be a treasure; otherwise, there was no way to explain it.

Mu Cheng suppressed her ecstasy. If she weren’t afraid of embarrassing herself, she would have jumped up and cheered. She was too excited. Su Yue had actually set a record of twenty tides. It was unprecedented! For the next ten years, probably no one in any Wuda would be able to break this record.

Bai Xiaolong and Meng Yang kept straight faces. They were used to it. They were shocked at first, but then their faces went numb. Let alone twenty tides, even if it were two hundred, the two of them could just treat it as a dream. Anyway, this monster Su Yue was a friend, not an enemy.

Right at this moment, a Warring States Military Academy jeep drove through the Nanwu Gate. The vehicle stopped, and Jin Guoqian stepped out of the driver’s seat, looking at the bustling square from afar.

"West Martial Su Yue is indeed a miracle. I feel a bit ashamed," Jin Guoqian, dressed in his Warring States Military Academy uniform, said with a bitter smile. He sported a buzz cut. Although he didn’t look particularly vicious, the faint, menacing gleam in his eyes was enough to prove his ferocity.

"The twenty-first tide is simply despair-inducing. My level is only fit to be compared with Bai Ziqing’s," Jin Guoqian sighed in frustration as another sound of a tide crashed down.

This was in stark contrast to Bai Ziqing’s ascetic indifference. In the Military Department, the competitive atmosphere was intense. Various martial arts competitions were endless, not to mention the constant comparisons of merits, battles for achievements, and fighting for honors. Therefore, Jin Guoqian had an extremely unyielding personality. But facing Su Yue, being unyielding was useless; he could only accept it.

Inside the broken bridge.

Su Yue endured the twenty-first tide. There was no point in him continuing any further. His Qi Blood value finally settled at 3,924 cals, and the impurities in his body were cleaner than his Martial Arts Network account. He shouldn’t push his luck anymore. Pushing it any further would be a pure waste of time.

"Huh, why can my feet move?" Su Yue suddenly discovered that his feet, which were originally anchored to the reef, could actually be lifted just as he was fully prepared to leave.

Yes. In his Yangxiang Race state, Su Yue’s feet could be lifted completely freely.
