My Pretty Campus Queen

The Soul of the Sword, Shi Potian, slowly opened his eyes and stood up, drinking wine as he walked towards Chen Tianlong. Chen Tianlong saw this and didn’t know what he intended, remaining vigilant.

"Brother, come drink with me, hahaha..."

The Soul of the Sword clearly didn’t recognize Chen Tianlong and suddenly handed over the wine flask.

This gesture stunned Chen Tianlong. What’s this about? He wondered what the Sword Soul was up to.

"Ah? I don’t like drinking." Chen Tianlong was caught off guard by the sudden gesture, unsure of how to react.

"If I ask you to drink, then drink. Don’t be so hesitant like a woman." The Soul of the Sword seemed a bit annoyed.

"Uh."

Chen Tianlong reluctantly took the wine flask, drank a mouthful, and handed it back to the Soul of the Sword.

"Haha, good."

The Soul of the Sword took the flask and drank another mouthful.

At this time, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered his purpose for coming—to unseal the Dragon Slayer Sword. Why was he drinking now? While feeling perplexed, the Soul of the Sword suddenly acted, snatching the Dragon Slayer Sword from Chen Tianlong’s hand in a flash.

"Definitely a good sword, but now it’s just an ordinary sword." The Soul of the Sword muttered to himself.

Chen Tianlong was startled by the sudden action but quickly realized his sword had been taken away.

"Give me back the sword."

Chen Tianlong shouted excitedly.

"Return it to you? Does it have your name written on it?" The Sword Soul suddenly asked shamelessly.

Chen Tianlong was speechless, knowing he was being unreasonable. Who would bother to engrave their name on a sword for no reason?

"You...you clearly snatched the sword from my hand earlier." Chen Tianlong was anxious and had no better words.

"I don’t care. The sword doesn’t recognize you anyway."

"Give me back the sword."

Chen Tianlong was now angry. He couldn’t tolerate having the Dragon Slayer Sword taken from him. "Sword in hand, person in life; sword gone, person deceased," the saying echoed in his mind.

Chen Tianlong struck out with a palm, but the Sword Soul swiftly dodged.

Seeing he missed, Chen Tianlong continued his assault. After dodging for a while, the Sword Soul saw Chen Tianlong’s relentless attack and decided to fight back. As their palms clashed, ripples surged along the room’s sides, scattering dust around.

"Hehe, not bad, you have some skills. Let’s go again." At this time, the Sword Soul actively provoked him.

Without waiting for him to finish, Chen Tianlong threw another punch, and the Sword Soul began Qi Cultivation. Chen Tianlong’s fist hit the Sword Soul’s chest, but in the next moment, the Sword Soul’s chest sunk backward briefly before he suddenly thrust forward. Chen Tianlong was bounced back, taking several steps before barely steadying himself.

Unable to land a punch, Chen Tianlong borrowed Wu Mengting’s sword, shouting, "Mengting, lend me your sword."

"Okay, here you go, Chen Tianlong."

Wu Mengting tossed the sword over.

After catching the sword, Chen Tianlong composed himself, then used the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. The sword rapidly circled and pierced around Chen Tianlong, then he powerfully swung it, sending the sword swiftly towards the target, while his body controlled the sword’s attack direction.

The Sword Soul was momentarily stupefied, somewhat incredulous. His lips curled slightly in a dismissive sneer, then he soared skyward to clash with the incoming sword. After dozens of exchanges, Chen Tianlong’s sword was kicked, flying toward him, and Chen Tianlong was startled, hurriedly evading.

However, just as Chen Tianlong dodged, the Sword Soul stabbed him with the Dragon Slayer Sword. Suspended in mid-air, Chen Tianlong couldn’t dodge, thus being pierced in the right chest by the sword.

"Chen Tianlong."

Wu Mengting saw it happen and ran over, shouting.

"Ah, I didn’t expect you to have such limited skills, unable to dodge even one strike." The Sword Soul shook his head, disappointed.

Chen Tianlong was already dazed, forcing his eyes open as blood dripped onto the Dragon Slayer Sword.

A miracle suddenly occurred; the Dragon Slayer Sword emitted a blazing light, causing the Sword Soul’s hand to tremble violently. He tried to free himself, but it was too late; his hand was tightly bound to the sword.

The next moment, the orange glow of the Dragon Slayer Sword intensified, reversing the flow of Chen Tianlong’s blood back into his body.

Chen Tianlong’s entire body was suspended in the air, and the Dragon Slayer Sword ascended as well, creating the wondrous sight of one sword aligning with two people.

In an instant, the Sword Soul transformed into a beam of light, absorbed into the Dragon Slayer Sword, while Chen Tianlong fell from the air. Wu Mengting quickly jumped to catch him as the sword landed beside them.

"Chen Tianlong, are you okay?" Wu Mengting asked worriedly.

"Cough cough cough..."

After coughing, Chen Tianlong regained consciousness, suddenly feeling his injuries gone, his body immensely relieved.

"Could it be the Dragon Slayer Sword has been unsealed?" Chen Tianlong exclaimed excitedly.

Picking up the Dragon Slayer Sword next to him, he swung it towards a stone column forcefully. Unexpectedly, the column crumbled loudly, losing a large chunk, almost startling Chen Tianlong. Fortunately, he hadn’t used much force, or the whole column might have collapsed, potentially crushing him.

Nonetheless, Chen Tianlong was extremely excited because the Dragon Slayer Sword had been activated.

Moreover, unbeknownst to him, since the sword pierced Chen Tianlong and was stained with his blood, the Dragon Slayer Sword could perceive the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique’s heritage, which led to the previous scene.

"Haha, Chen Tianlong, this is great; our mission is finally accomplished." Wu Mengting was exceedingly happy.

"Yes, let’s leave first; this place is filled with yin energy due to souls residing here," Chen Tianlong said.

"Alright."

Wu Mengting agreed it made sense.

Soon, the two exited the tower. Since they had cleared the path when entering, leaving was straightforward. Just as they exited, Daoist Taiyi sealed the Soul-locking Tower again, preventing other spirits inside from escaping.

As they moved forward, Sect Leader Chen Dong met them with a grin.

"Congratulations on achieving great accomplishments and helping our Xing Mountain sect avert a crisis." The Sect Leader expressed both congratulations and gratitude.

"Haha, it’s what we should do; everything is destiny." Chen Tianlong replied humbly.

"Brother Chen Tianlong has a noble and extraordinary spirit. At such a young age, having such skills amazes this old man." The Sect Leader remarked.

"You flatter me." Chen Tianlong remained modest.

As they spoke, they headed toward the main hall where Daoist Taiyi approached.

"This disaster is finally resolved; I sincerely thank Brother Chen Tianlong for relieving my burden." Daoist Taiyi was very grateful.

"No need to thank me; it’s all due to fate; we merely follow it." Chen Tianlong said.

"I didn’t expect someone so young to have such insight; it’s rare indeed." Daoist Taiyi sincerely praised.

"You’re too kind."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Tianlong said, "Sect Leader, we’ve been on the mountain for several days now; we don’t wish to trouble you any longer, so we’ll take our leave."

"Hmmm, that’s fine; if you wish to leave, we won’t keep you." Daoist Taiyi said with a smile.

A group escorted Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting to the foot of the mountain, where the Sect Leader remarked, "You two were chased up here before, so if you take this path now, there will be no danger."

The Sect Leader pointed to a nearby hidden passage, a secret route of Xing Mountain. After seeing it, Chen Tianlong expressed gratitude, acknowledging the Sect Leader’s thorough foresight.

Before departing, Daoist Taiyi earnestly advised, "Chen Tianlong, the sword you hold is an extraordinary blade; treat it well and use it wisely. Do not fall into the Demon Dao, or consequences will be unimaginable."

Daoist Taiyi had experienced the sword’s true power, hence cautioning Chen Tianlong in its use.

"Yes, understood. I’ll use it to vanquish demons and benefit the world!" Chen Tianlong vowed.

With a knowing nod from Daoist Taiyi, Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting set off.

.....

Xu Fei had stationed people at the mountain’s base for a long time but hadn’t spotted them, assuming Chen Tianlong intended to stay for a while. Hence, he withdrew shortly after. At the time, the Wolfman Race Celestial Family developed a Poison Skill, strictly speaking, a kind of Gu Poison. It quickly diminished one’s mental faculties, eroding the brain, completely controlling the individual like a murder tool.

This was similar to the Earth Fiend God series researched by the old madman Wu Conglin before, but since Wu Conglin died, Xu Fei found some remaining notes in his records and planned to continue the research.

"Haha, this Gu Poison is quite impressive. Protector Li, I’ll leave this to you to handle." Xu Fei laughed heartily.

"Yes, boss." Protector Li replied.
