Chapter 471 - 469: I Don’t Know

Chapter 471: Chapter 469: I Don’t Know

Su Qing looked completely unconcerned.

But his presence was immense.

His gaze was supremely confident, calm, and composed.

"I didn’t expect you to be from the Human Race."

"Aren’t you?" Su Qing retorted to the red-eyed, black-haired man before him.

The black-haired, red-eyed man smiled. "Not exactly. I’m half-blooded from the Sunflower Moon Race."

"Although the bloodline of the Sunflower Moon Race isn’t anything special in the Star Sea."

"It’s been a part of me for quite some time."

"Come on, then. But there’s one thing I should make clear."

"I might not be in the Tenth Realm. I might be in the Eleventh Realm," Su Qing said softly.

He looked at the other man with an incredibly placid gaze.

But among the surrounding disciples of the Taichu Daoist Palace, an uproar erupted.

"No way! I remember this Su Qing hasn’t even been at the Taichu Daoist Palace for a full Star Sea Era. Are you telling me he’s already reached the Eleventh Realm?"

"Could it be that he was already at the Perfection stage of the Tenth Realm before?"

"How is that possible? I remember he couldn’t even beat Zhu Yuan before."

"But either way, he’s far above us."

"I heard he was the one who killed that worm from the Greed Realm."

...

The black-haired, red-eyed man was taken aback.

Then he burst out laughing happily. "Hahaha! If you really are in the Eleventh Realm, I hope you’ll use your full power. I want to see just how big the gap is between the Eleventh Realm and the Sixth Step of the Path of Cultivation."

"No problem."

Su Qing nodded and smiled slightly. ’Another battle maniac,’ he thought.

Too bad. This challenge wouldn’t yield him any rewards whatsoever.

For Su Qing, it was hardly worth the effort.

The main issue was still the problem with Jianmu.

Su Qing didn’t actually want to tie himself to Jianmu.

But he couldn’t just stand by and watch Jianmu wither away.

After all, Su Qing had developed some attachment to Jianmu.

"I am Yu Tianxiao of Lin Teng Academy, Tenth Realm."

"Su Qing. Enough talk."

"Get up on the Taichu Dao Platform."

Su Qing said with a sigh of resignation.

He then teleported onto the Taichu Dao Platform.

Yu Tianxiao nodded.

And followed him onto the Taichu Dao Platform.

The sparring challenge began.

After they entered.

Not even four seconds passed.

The two of them reappeared on the Taichu Dao Platform.

The audience was dumbfounded.

The match was over before they even saw a single moment of fighting.

It wasn’t just the audience who was stunned; even the participant himself was baffled.

Yu Tianxiao was utterly confused. ’How was I declared the loser before we even started?’

Neither of them had even made a move.

Just as he was about to speak...

Su Qing stated coolly, "If you want to go again, you can."

"However, you can’t break free from the shackles of Time. No matter how many times you try, you’ll never even know how you lost."

Yu Tianxiao froze, his pupils suddenly widening.

He suddenly muttered, "It’s the Power of Time!"

"How can that be? Dao Paths related to Time are unimaginably rare."

Yu Tianxiao was devastated. The Time Power of an Eleventh Realm expert was something his full strength at the Tenth Realm couldn’t possibly contend with.

The most crucial part was that he had been defeated without even a chance to fight back.

The feeling was one of utter powerlessness.

"Yu Tianxiao, although your Dao Path is ordinary, your understanding of it might already be quite profound."

Su Qing offered this single word of praise.

He then left the Taichu Dao Platform.

Su Qing had come here with a purpose.

Now that it was resolved...

...it was naturally time to leave.

After exiting the Taichu Dao Platform area...

Su Qing walked to the entrance of Yu Hu’s world.

Unfortunately...

...there was no response.

’They’re probably not in the Taichu Daoist Palace, or perhaps they’ve gone into seclusion.’

Next, he went to the entrance of Bai Di’s world.

And Bai Di actually let him into the world.

"Su Qing!"

"I was just about to head out." Bai Di grinned happily upon seeing Su Qing.

He then pulled Su Qing out the door.

"Let’s go check out the Taichu Dao Platform. A friend just contacted me. Some students from Lin Teng Academy arrived recently, so there are sure to be plenty of sparring challenges."

"It’s a perfect chance for me to go and learn a thing or two."

"You can come with me."

"..." Su Qing gave a helpless smile and nodded.

"Alright."

Su Qing had just come from the Taichu Dao Platform.

He never thought he’d be heading right back.

This time...

...Su Qing accompanied Bai Di to a Taichu Dao Platform.

This was a different Taichu Dao Platform.

Su Qing and Bai Di walked in.

They were still spotted by a few observant people. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

But Su Qing didn’t care.

Bai Di, however, eagerly ran over to the group from Lin Teng Academy.

And started chatting with them.

Su Qing found a corner to stand in, watching the show while casually eating some leaves of Standardization.

’Can’t slack off, even for a moment.’

Every leaf he ate increased his power just a little.

All he had to do now was enjoy the show.

From the subtle expressions he could see...

...it seemed a few of the girls from Lin Teng Academy had taken a liking to Bai Di.

Who could blame them? With his head of white hair and bright, piercing eyes, his charm was certainly not lacking.

After chatting with him for a while...

...it was only normal that a few girls would be interested.

Su Qing had no intention of getting involved.

He didn’t dare get close to the opposite sex right now, nor did he have the inclination.

A crazy woman like Black Abyss had already been more than enough for Su Qing to handle.

How could Su Qing possibly dare to get involved with other women?

’Protect myself, stay away from women.’

However.

Very unfortunately.

Just as Su Qing was thinking this...

...an intense gaze landed on him from the side.

She had the exact same Flame Mark on her forehead as Su Qing, and a small, doll-like face.

She didn’t look like Black Abyss.

’Don’t tell me Black Abyss goes for both men and women.’

’And what’s the deal with this woman?’

Their eyes met.

The girl took a single step and appeared before Su Qing.

She looked curiously at the mark on Su Qing’s forehead.

"Our marks are the same."

"Do you know where this mark comes from?"

Not wanting any trouble, Su Qing answered bluntly, "I don’t."

But then...

...the Flame Mark on the girl’s forehead suddenly flashed.

’Crap.’

Seeing the mark flash, Su Qing had a bad feeling.

Sure enough.

The girl looked at Su Qing with a complicated expression, one that seemed to say she wanted to ask something but didn’t dare.

She muttered under her breath, "My mark can tell when someone is lying... even through voice transmissions."

"..."

’I knew it!’

Su Qing was displeased, looking strangely at the girl before him.

He adopted a defeated attitude. "What’s the use in telling you?"

"What good would it do you to know?"

"You’d be better off just focusing on your Cultivation."

Su Qing said nonchalantly.

In any case, Su Qing simply didn’t want to tell her.

Seeing Su Qing’s indifferent expression, the girl returned, dejected, to her friends from Lin Teng Academy.

Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

’At least she doesn’t pester endlessly.’

Su Qing didn’t know what relationship Black Abyss had with this woman.

And he didn’t want to know.

For Su Qing...

...it wouldn’t solve any of his actual problems.

Thankfully.

Su Qing was left in peace.

That guy Bai Di was already fighting on the Taichu Dao Platform.

To be honest...

...with his Boundless Body, Bai Di was practically invincible to begin with.

He basically couldn’t lose.

After watching for what felt like several days...

...a satisfied Bai Di finally came over to Su Qing.

Su Qing was leaning against the corner with his eyes closed, occasionally eating a leaf.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Di standing in front of him, holding a vibrant Other Shore Flower.

It gave Su Qing a fright.

"What are you doing?" Su Qing yelled.

Bai Di seemed to realize there was a misunderstanding and said sheepishly, "A girl just asked me to give this flower to you. When I turned around, she was gone."

"The flower was already in my hand, so I had no choice but to bring it to you."

"When did you get a Dao Companion? And you didn’t even tell us!" Bai Di leaned in and asked, his face full of curiosity.

Only then did Su Qing let out a sigh of relief.

"Get out of here. What Dao Companion? That flower of yours is freaking me out."

...
