Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 1167 – Selection

In the next few days, An Zheng led a extremely quiet life, as if An Caichen had specially instructed his junior brothers and sisters not to disturb him. Even Du Shoushou had been pestered to cultivate the [Soul Igniting Art] every day, so there were very few opportunities for him to meet An Zheng.

The eldest senior brother came to see him every day, but he never entered the house. He only stopped at the door for a minute before leaving. It was as if he had a precise clock in his body. He turned around in sixty seconds, not missing a second.

An Zheng knew what those 60 seconds of pause meant, it was to urge them on.

Water is a magical thing, not just a necessity for human existence. Many of the powerful warriors had observed and understood the nature of water. Water was also the source of all things. It was so small that it could cover everything. It was so small that it could not be detected.

An Zheng entered the path from Weiyang Lake and sensed that water was first an object outside the water. From Weiyang Lake to Bai Sheng Academy, from Bai Sheng Academy to Yancheng.

His perception was growing stronger and stronger, causing An Zheng’s experience to get deeper and deeper. Ning Xiaolou said that his perception had improved by leaps and bounds due to the pure power of the devil, but An Zheng knew that everything was still his own.

His eyes were closed, but he lifted his head as if he could see the firmament through his eyelids and through the thick roof.

If a cultivator were to be able to fuse with all things, it would be a natural Great Dao.

An Zheng sat in the room with his legs crossed, his spiritual sense reaching somewhere else. He only thought of trying his best to go tigher and more distant place, higher and more distant.

For some reason, An Zheng felt that he could see stars during the day. Moreover, the stars seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. He had always thought that the stars were small things that shone in the sky. However, everything he was feeling before told An Zheng that it was just a subjective misconception.

The stars were not small.

An Zheng felt himself flying through the thick layer of clouds, and then, it became even hotter. Then, he crashed into a layer of invisible, yet incomparably solid barrier. He tried to attack again and again, but no matter how hard he tried, the impact was meaningless. It was simply impossible to break through that barrier, and it was even a power that An Zheng couldn’t perceive.

This layer of barrier seemed to be extremely thick, even if An Zheng were to turn into a sharp arrow, he would still not be able to pass through. However, this barrier did not have the power of devouring, it only stopped An Zheng’s consciousness from moving further outwards.

The barrier was transparent, so even though An Zheng was blocked, he could still see things on the ground that he could not see. He saw an incomparably large sphere. The surface of the sphere was riddled with potholes, and there seemed to be no signs of life.

That place was extremely desolate, and it was emitting a weak white light.

What was this giant sphere?

All of a sudden, the power that came from the barrier pushed back An Zheng’s consciousness. An Zheng felt himself falling straight down from the sky; Falling from the sky, tens of thousands of meters high, and completely out of control.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

An Zheng was clearly sitting in the room, but the room he was in was instantly crushed into powder by an invisible force. An Zheng was still sitting there, with a stream of blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth.

In less than a second, Eldest Senior Brother An Caichen appeared in front of An Zheng. After looking at An Zheng’s incomparably pale white face, he frowned, and pulled An Zheng up, flashing for a moment before disappearing.

With a bang, An Zheng was thrown into the Weiyang Lake.

“Even though he hasn’t completely sensed the surroundings, he’s already coveting the heavens?”

An Caichen shook his head lightly, “It’s already a blessing in the midst of misfortune that I didn’t kill you.”

Three days later, An Zheng finally pulled An Zheng out of Weiyang Lake. As if An Zheng had died once, he was in an extremely weak state. He was completely oblivious, as if his soul had been sucked away.

Only after five days did An Zheng barely regain some vitality and began to eat and drink.

Only after seven more days could An Zheng slowly walk in the courtyard.

Spring Festival Glow Restaurant.

The Eldest Disciple, Tang Shuang, and the Second Disciple, Zhang Cuizhu, pulled An Caichen to drink. An Caichen was not a good drinker in the first place, so he did not like to socialize with others. On the way, Tang Shuang and Zhang Cui Zhu pulled him along, causing him to be unable to refuse.

After three rounds of drinking, the conversation inadvertently shifted towards An Zheng.

“Senior brother, why is that newcomer from the Eye Condensation Pavilion not seen recently? He is rumored to be an astonishingly talented junior brother.” I have always wanted to spar with him. As for the matter of talent, you should also know that none of the disciples of our Bai Sheng Academy s are convinced by the other. ”

An Caichen drank a few cups of wine, his face slightly flushed, and hurriedly waved his hand: “Youngest junior brother was a little impatient in cultivation a few days ago, as he injured his very core and is still recovering, and will only barely be able to recover after half a month. These days, his body had been extremely weak. He probably couldn’t even beat an ordinary person. You are the senior brother, and your strength is among the best of the first rank. It’s better not to bully him. ”

“Hahahaha, I’ve long heard that you have a warm and pure personality, you’re right.” Don’t worry, since our junior apprentice-brother is injured, how can we go find him? You take good care of him when you get back, and then go spar after he recovers. Moreover, I am a senior brother and I am also a disciple of the first rank.

Zhang Cui Zhu drank a mouthful of wine and asked: “Senior brother, is his injury really that serious?”

An Caichen was a gentleman who didn’t know how to lie so he replied with a straight face, “My junior brother’s injuries were indeed very serious. A few days ago, he couldn’t even drink the rice porridge and vomited. Yet, he forced himself to drink and eat. This injury must have hurt his very roots. ”

Zhang Cui Zhu looked at Tang Shuang without revealing her expression. Tang Shuang coughed and said: “Since that’s the case, then we won’t disturb you any longer.” When we go back, we will also beg Mister to bestow us some pellets as well. We will send them over to Senior Brother later to help us deliver it to Junior Brother An Zheng on our behalf. ”

An Caichen immediately stood up and cupped his fists: “Thank you.”

When he and Tang Shuang and Zhang Cui Zhu bid their farewells, the sky had already darkened slightly by the time they walked out of the bustling spring heat. Thinking back to when he had just brought back a medicinal pellet used to repair his Primordial Spirit, he felt a little anxious.

At this moment, he saw a very unusual girl.

She was wearing a long cotton dress and her style was a bit heavier, but it didn’t feel heavy on her at all. This young girl should have an excellent figure. Although her long skirt was loose and simple and was not embroidered, it gave people a feeling of returning to their original beauty. She worair of boots with a beast’s face embroidered with silver threads, but she couldn’t tell what kind of demon beast it was.

She was carrying a bow on her back and an arrow quiver hung from her waist. The bow was almost as long as she was, but the quiver was empty. As if she saw An Caichen looking at her, the young girl hesitated for a moment before walking towards An Caichen.

“Senior, I want to ask you abouerson.”

Hearing the two words “senior”, An Caichen was a little hurt in his heart.

“I …” Not old, I … I … I am not a senior either. ”

He didn’t know why, but his heart, which had been calm as water for the past thirty-three years, suddenly started to waver. An Caichen suddenly felt a little nervous, and even his fingers were trembling slightly.

“Who do you want to ask?”

His voice was also trembling slightly.

Actually, the young girl in front of him wasn’t that kind of breathtaking beauty, but she had touched upon a softness in An Caichen’s heart that he thought had never existed.

“A man named An Zheng.”

The young girl’s answer made An Caichen’s heart ache a little. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ Fɪre.net

“Oh …” Why are you looking for him? ”

“I owe him my life. I’ll pay it back.”

Hearing this answer, An Caichen relaxed for no reason. So it was just owing him a life, not owing him a favor. Then, An Caichen cursed himself in his heart … An Caichen, how can you be so dirty!

“An Zheng is currently a disciple of the Bai Sheng Academy and he is currently cultivating. The Bai Sheng Academy is rather strict so you … For the time being, I won’t be able to see him. ”

“Oh, I wish I knew where he is. I’ll find a place to stay nearby.”

The young girl was the princess of the spirit race, Du Ruo. She nodded slightly towards An Caichen in thanks and turned around, preparing to leave. I don’t have any money on me, so I can’t stay in an inn. May I ask where I can stay for free? Whether it’s a sect, a temple, oouse, it’s all good. ”

An Caichen made an extremely irrational decision at this moment.

“Come back with me.”

After he finished speaking, he felt awkward and quickly explained, “I’m saying come back to the academy with me, I …” They are also from the Bai Sheng Academy. ”

At the same time, at Bai Sheng Academy.

The instructor glanced at Tang Shuang and Zhang Cui Zhu who were rushing over: “Are you sure that An Zheng has been severely injured?”

“Sir, An Caichen is a fool, he would never lie.”

“Un …”

Qu Xiang Wen was silent for a while, then said: “In a few days time, it will be the day of the academy’s selection, and disciples will only be promoted once every two months. An Zheng is now a level three disciple, so if he wants to become a level one disciple, there is no way that he’ll miss the three times in the next half a year. If he missed the chance, he wouldn’t be able to complete his bet with Lord Your Majesty within half a year. Thus, even if he is severely injured, he will not give up on the battle for the second rank. ”

“Sir, do you have any instructions?”

“I don’t like this An Zheng.”

Qu Xiang He leaned back, looking a little depressed.

“It’s as if I’ve never liked Fang Tanzhi … That year, when you participated in the first rank disciple selection, you were defeated by An Caichen right? At that time, you also said that An Caichen was an idiot, and wasn’t anything to worry about, and that he was stupid, blunt, and not suited for cultivation. In the end, he was defeated and humiliated beyond recognition. Zhang Cuizhu, when you were participating in the first place disciple competition last year, did you lose to Qin Zhi? ”

Tang Shuang and Zhang Cui Zhu simultaneously lowered their heads, feeling somewhat ashamed.

“You have always been humiliated by Fang Tanzhi’s disciples, and I have always been humiliated by Fang Tanzhi … I won’t allow my disciple to be humiliated by Fang Tanzhi’s disciple the third time. In the selection battle a few days from now, if I can’t even beat the heavily injured An Zheng, then I won’t even have the face to continue being the Bai Sheng Academy’s instructor. ”

“Sir, be at ease. We will speak with the few junior brothers and definitely will not let that An Zheng succeed.”

“And the next time?” And when he recovers? ”

Qu Xiang Qing curled up her body, as if she was somewhat cold. “Could it be that there’s a next time?”

Tang Shuang and Zhang Cui Zhu looked at each other before lowering their heads at the same time: “Disciple understands.”

Qu Xiang Wen waved his hand, “Go, I am the teacher. There are some things I cannot say to the disciples, but you can. “My junior brothers, you two are too stupid. As senior brothers, you should give them a reminder.”
