358: Thousand Illusionary Eye Fragments

After Gong Wushang finished speaking, he laughed heartily, his body flickered, and he returned directly to the ground!

Nie Mingfei's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at his tattered clothes, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

"Everyone, if you have no objections, then I'll be heading up!"

Gong Wushang spoke to the remaining deans; their mouths all twitched slightly, but in the end, no one said a word!

They couldn't win, so there was nothing more to say!

As Gong Wushang and Nie Mingfei each occupied a Prayer Mat, only two remained. At this moment, everyone grew tense!

Four deans at the sixth layer of the Dao Severing Realm stood out, and then, without much to be said, a great battle ensued.

This battle was far less stunning than Gong Wushang's previous strike, but Ji Wuchang still watched with great interest, learning quite a lot!

But it wasn't over yet; three deans at the fifth layer of the Dao Severing Realm stepped forward to issue challenges.

After those two were defeated once more, the final two Prayer Mats were finally determined: Huayuan Academy and Changdao Academy!

The Academy Dao Discussion used a scoring System with a total of ten points, and the deans' competition only accounted for three points.

First place received three points, second and third place received 2.5 points, and fourth and fifth place received two points!

This meant that although the five academies on stage had won the deans' discussion, the final amount of resources they could obtain did not depend on them, but on the Disciples' competition!

The Disciples' competition accounted for seven points, consisting of seven rounds, with each round worth one point.

This kind of competition was naturally unfair, but there can never be absolute fairness in the world of Cultivation!

Gu Sheng returned and called Ji Wuchang and Jiang Yuanxiong to his side, saying, "Wuchang, Yuanxiong, the deans' competition has determined the arena defenders!"

"This means that in the upcoming competition, you will have to defend the arena and wait for challenges from others. There are seven rounds in total, one point per round!"

"The two of you can discuss who goes first and who goes second."

"Once both of you have failed, you will automatically lose the qualification to continue the competition!"

Gu Sheng looked serious; Yunchuan Academy had not obtained resources from Jiangshan Academy for a long time, and these resources were very important to the academy.

He had now obtained two points, which was a good start, but whether they could ultimately get any, and how much, would depend on the performance of the two of them.

Ji Wuchang glanced at Jiang Yuanxiong and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Jiang, I'll defend first. If I fail, you take over!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanxiong nodded hastily; he wouldn't dare object.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that he was no match for Ji Wuchang at all!

Gu Sheng actually wanted Ji Wuchang to defend first as well! He had a good grasp of Ji Wuchang's combat strength.

To put it bluntly, none of the Disciples from the academies present could defeat Ji Wuchang!

After settling this matter, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and took out a scroll, presenting it to Ji Wuchang.

"Wuchang, I'm giving this scroll to you. Check it when you have time; it should be useful to you!"

A trace of reluctance appeared in Gu Sheng's eyes. This was something he had obtained years ago by risking his life, but unfortunately, he had no fate with it.

He had meditated on it for a hundred years without any gain, so Gu Sheng had given up!

He had a premonition that this item might have a fated connection with Ji Wuchang!

Ji Wuchang was slightly stunned, quickly took it, and cupped his fists to Gu Sheng, saying, "Thank you, Dean!"

Gu Sheng patted Ji Wuchang's shoulder and then said, "I cannot see through your future. Remember to come back and visit the academy when you have time!"

Gu Sheng knew very well that Ji Wuchang would be leaving after the competition ended, so he said what needed to be said in advance.

"Dean, take this. It should be helpful to you!"

Ji Wuchang took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in the dean's hand. This was a drop of Essence Blood he had obtained in the blood pool back then.

There were eight drops in total originally; he had given Senior Sister Yu Ling three, refined one himself, and had four left.

Ji Yaoyao said two drops were enough for her, so Ji Wuchang would have two drops left over.

He gave one to Gu Sheng and prepared to refine the remaining one himself after some time.

Although the last refinement hadn't activated his Bloodline, he still felt as if he had gained some benefits, so he planned to refine another drop.

Gu Sheng was slightly stunned and deployed a spiritual energy Barrier to block outside views and prevent the aura from leaking.

He opened the porcelain bottle and closed it instantly, a look of wild joy appearing in his eyes.

Gu Sheng quickly put away the porcelain bottle, his gaze toward Ji Wuchang becoming increasingly gentle.

He could see that Ji Wuchang was someone who knew how to repay kindness!

Ji Wuchang didn't look at the scroll, putting it directly into his System space!

He could feel that many gazes on the scene were constantly fixed on him.

"System, Check-in!"

[Ding! Check-in at the Xinglong Academy Great Plaza successful. Reward: Eight years of cultivation, luck points +8!]

Hearing the System's voice, his eyes brightened slightly.

"System, draw!"

He had two more drawing chances and wanted to see what he could get this time!

[Ding! Draw successful. Obtained Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils Fragment *1.]

[Friendly reminder: Ten Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils fragments can be synthesized into the Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils!]

[The Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils are extremely powerful, capable of seeing through all illusions, and can also condense the Light of a Thousand Illusions to obliterate the Divine Soul!]

Ji Wuchang was stunned on the spot when he heard the System's voice. He hadn't expected the draw to be this.

His heart burned with excitement. The Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils were a type of Double Pupils; though not the most offensive type, they were definitely one of the most terrifying.

They could see through various Formations and point directly to the Origin, which also had a huge effect on cultivation.

[Ding! Draw successful. Congratulations Master on obtaining luck points +60.]

The System's voice sounded again. Ji Wuchang didn't feel too disappointed; after all, he couldn't expect the System to produce another Thousand Illusions Spirit Pupils fragment!

He checked the System panel:

[Host: Ji Wuchang]

[Cultivation: Soul Splitting Realm Fourth Layer]

[root bone: Heaven Rank Low Grade]

[luck points: 4469]

[Special Abilities: Divine Soul Devouring, Puppet Clone Technique]

[System Mission: None]

[Note: Eight years of unused cultivation, can be used at any time.]

He didn't plan to use these eight years of cultivation for now; he wanted to accumulate more and use them to Cultivate the Void Phantom Technique and Mountain Fist!

These were both favorites of his; one came from the Ancient Pavilion, and the other from Senior Sister Yu Ling.

Just then, Ji Wuchang suddenly felt a flicker of killing intent. He frowned and looked into the distance.

He saw a man looking at him from afar with an expressionless face.

Ji Wuchang frowned; he didn't know this man!

Seemingly sensing Ji Wuchang's gaze, the man looked away, still expressionless!

"Will the Disciples of the five academies who just occupied the Prayer Mats please come on stage to defend the arena!"

Just then, Qi Heping stood up and spoke calmly!

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang immediately withdrew his gaze!

No matter who it was, if they dared to cause him trouble, he would just kill them!
