Wang Xin, Li Yaotian.
To many people, they were the high and mighty Big Dipper academicians. They were revered and feared.
But to Xu Mai and Song Yuan, they were former classmates who had grown up together and stood at the peak of the academy. They were both Big Dipper academicians. They might not be good friends, but they were companions. This was undeniable, and had been for many years. Among the Big Dipper academicians, Guo Wushu could be considered their seniors. Ruan Qingzhu and Chen Jiu were their juniors. The four of them were the true symbols of this generation of Big Dipper Academy.
And now, Li Yaotian's fated star was flying towards Alioth Peak. Wang Xin's fated star had landed in the stone forest behind Lu Cuntang, right beside Xu Mai and Song Yuan.
This was the place they had guarded for their entire lives. Xu Mai and Song Yuan were silent. They knew that this meant the severity of the situation, but they did not move at this moment. They quietly watched as Wang Xin's fated star blossomed before their eyes for the last time, completing the last splendor of a Big Dipper Sect member's life.
The soul force scattered in the air was familiar. Many old memories came rushing back to their minds. But this was not the time to reminisce about old friends. The sadness had to stop here.
"I'm afraid the Seven Elements Relief won't do." Xu Mai looked at the sky.
Others might not have noticed, but when the star diagram recovered and the stars fell, he could already feel the Seven Elements Relief enveloping the entire Big Dipper Mountain Range dissipating at an unbelievable speed.
The Seven Elements Relief had been destroyed. What had happened on Alioth Peak?
The two walked out of the valley.
"Is that the only way?" Song Yuan said. He was referring to the preparations Xu Mai had mentioned.
Xu Mai nodded.
"But this will take a long time." Song Yuan said.
"I'm fighting for it." Xu Mai looked into the distance, in the direction of Dubhe Peak. At such a distance, it was impossible for him to sense what was happening there. But he seemed to know something with certainty.
Dubhe Peak, Dubhe Tower.
The stone steps in front of the tower were drenched in blood. It had collapsed everywhere, and there were many people lying on the ground.
Four academicians and dozens of elites from the three academies. Twenty minutes later, they reached the stone steps in front of the Tianshu Building. Twenty minutes later, they were still at the stone steps in front of the Tianshu Building.
They had seriously injured an academician, and one-third of their elites had been killed or injured. However, he was never able to reach the top of the stone steps.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They looked at Ruan Qingzhu, who had been blocking their way all along and had not received any reinforcements.
They actually couldn't break through.
He clearly needed an overwhelming advantage in strength, but he just couldn't defeat this opponent.
Once? Twice? How many times had he rushed to the top of the stone steps? He had been blocked by Ruan Qingzhu many times.
Cheng Luozhu's face was filled with shock and admiration. She was well aware of Ruan Qingzhu's strength, and the methods she had used had not exceeded her expectations. However, she was so tenacious that she did not fall even in the face of an enemy that could completely crush her.
Although they were now opponents, the two of them were still friends. Ruan Qingzhu had beaten them into a sorry state, but Cheng Luozhu felt a little proud.
Shang Ling from Queyue Academy. However, he was not in the mood to admire his opponent like Cheng Luozhu. He was unable to take down Ruan Qingzhu in single combat and group combat. During this process, he had been waiting for an opportunity, but it never came. After twenty minutes, he was a little annoyed.
"Clan Leader Cheng, is your Heaven Luo Mirror not done yet?" He said to Cheng Luozhu.
"No." Cheng Luozhu said.
"Please don't say that Clan Leader Cheng doesn't want to go all out." Shang Ling said.
Cheng Luozhu was too lazy to reply.
There was a problem with the Heaven Luo Mirror. This was one of the main reasons why they couldn't take it down after so long. After using it in the previous battle, they discovered that the Heaven Luo Mirror had entered an unstable state again. Previously, when they used it to block Lu Ping's attack, the damage to this transcendent divine weapon was much greater than Cheng Luozhu had imagined.
An unstable transcendent divine weapon was like a cultivator who was unable to accurately control their soul power. Under this kind of situation, they couldn't use their abilities. A transcendent divine weapon that couldn't use their abilities would be mediocre and useless.
Cheng Luozhu didn't go easy. On the contrary, she used her full strength. But in the end, it was a draw. In the end, two of her transcendent divine weapon's strings broke.
Ruan Qingzhu's situation was even worse. The battle with Cheng Luozhu was only a very small part of her twenty minute battle.
She was still standing at the top of the stone steps. Her body, and even her face, were stained with blood. Some of her enemies', and some of her own. Her transcendent divine weapon's green flag had stopped moving. The green flag at the tip of her spear was no longer as green and intact as before.
However, she was still standing there, and her aura was no different from before. No one could tell where her limit was, and no one knew how much she had to do to make her collapse.
Next time?
That was what they thought before.
In the end, after the next time, it happened again. After the next time, it happened again. They had lost count of how many times it happened in total.
This was the North Style Academy's Fellow Yao Guang, the guardian of the entire North Style Academy. Wanting to break through her was indeed very difficult.
Shang Ling couldn't come up with a solution no matter how he thought about it. He could only prepare to launch another attack. If it continued, she would eventually fall, right? Although Shang Ling thought this way, he didn't have the slightest confidence in his heart. He really couldn't see where Ruan Qingzhu's limit was.
At this moment, a group of people arrived behind them. Shang Ling was startled. Their spirit had been worn down by Ruan Qingzhu. If they were to be besieged again, it would be bad. However, when he turned his head to look, the shouts had already arrived. Shang Ling was overjoyed.
"Teacher." The newcomers were all wearing the South Sky Academy's uniform. They addressed Cheng Luozhu as teacher and gathered together.
With the addition of fresh troops, they should have a ninety percent chance of success. Shang Ling thought and raised his head to look at Ruan Qingzhu again.
"You guys are here." Cheng Luozhu looked at her students. He entered the North Style Academy early in the morning with the identity of a spectator. Previously, she was in a hurry to go to the Phecda Peak to find Yuan Fei, so she temporarily separated from them. After that, she went to the Phecda Peak and opened the transportation passage. After gathering these passersby, they came to the Dubhe Peak. Naturally, she also changed the instructions for her students, telling them to go to the Dubhe Peak as well. She had waited for a long time, and these students had finally arrived.
However, after a glance, she immediately noticed that one of them was missing.
"What about He En?" Cheng Luozhu asked.
The students hurriedly told him about how they encountered the heavily injured Li Yaotian and Sun Jianzhao at the foot of the Phecda Peak, how they were stopped by Huo Ying, and how He En stayed behind to deal with the three of them.
His voice was neither loud nor soft, and he didn't try to hide it. Everyone present could hear him, including Ruan Qingzhu who was at the top of the stone steps.
She didn't know much about the situation in other places, but even Li Yaotian and Sun Jianzhao, these top-notch figures in the academy, were heavily injured. One could imagine how difficult the situation was.
At this moment, there was a strange movement in the sky.
The fall of two Fated Stars brought about a wave of starfall.
Ruan Qingzhu looked at the two Fated Stars, and her mind wavered.
A chance!
Shang Ling's eyes were sharp. He saw through Ruan Qingzhu's wavering mind. A cold glint flashed in his sleeve, and he flew forward.
However, a green light flashed and swept towards him. The cold glint in his sleeve that had just flashed was immediately cut off.
Ruan Qingzhu looked at him. She looked at his right sleeve that was hanging at his side, as if she already knew what he was going to do.
Academician Yu Heng and Academician Tianji were no longer here, and she was not Academician Yao Guang anymore.
However, her duty wouldn't change, and her intention to protect the North Style Academy would never change.
"I've said it before." Ruan Qingzhu looked at the bottom of the stone steps. She wasn't moved by the addition of a new force.
"Who dares to step forward?" She was still standing guard here. At most, there would be one more Fated Star.
Shang Ling, who failed in his sneak attack, became angry out of humiliation. He wanted everyone to charge forward together, but Cheng Luozhu stood out at this moment. Behind her, a few students followed closely. One of them even handed over the Heaven Luo Mirror that he had just taken from Cheng Luozhu.
"Let me do it." Cheng Luozhu said.
"Is the Heaven Luo Mirror ready?" Shang Ling noticed the details of handing over the mirror.
"I can't say it's ready, but … …" Cheng Luozhu didn't continue, and looked at Ruan Qingzhu instead. The Heaven Luo Mirror was taken care of by the students, and it could be used for a while. However, she was going to use it to deal with her good friend soon.
"I must pass this place." She walked forward, and the Heaven Luo Mirror was already floating in midair.
