"The realm of true strength, huh?"
Zhang Yu scanned the advertisent bid rankings that he received, where he was listed third, with the highest bid for the next advertisent being 650 spirit coins.
Of course, Zhang Yu knew that it wouldn’t be possible for him to get the full 650 spirit coins, since he had to share with the school and also pay taxes.
Zhang Yu estimated in his mind, "I should be able to take ho around 200 spirit coins."
From the side, Tao Qiankun continued advising, "Nad moves, while powerful, are not without limitations."
"First, there are various conditions for use; you can’t just find any corner to keep using the move and expect to get profits."
"Secondly, the champion move aims for positive impact. If using it leads to defeat or poor performance, the pay will decrease. The more failures, the less money until ultimately the naming can be canceled."
"So although you earn with each use of the nad move, making you stronger with each battle, in the long term, don’t abuse it. At least have so confidence that it will be effective before using it."
"Especially with this ti’s nad move, the company might only want to buy a single match. If you want a long-term contract, you’ll need an outstanding performance in this one."
Zhang Yu listened earnestly to Tao Qiankun’s introduction, knowing the other had far more experience in this area than him.
And seeing Zhang Yu’s attentive deanor, Tao Qiankun felt increasingly satisfied with his humility and obedience.
Especially recalling that the other said in an interview that he wanted to send himself to the throne, and his efforts in the last team match to create opportunities for him, all of this made Zhang Yu more pleasing in Tao Qiankun’s eyes.
Tao Qiankun said, "Send the list of advertisents you can accept, and I’ll help you choose."
Zhang Yu readily agreed and directly forwarded the file sent by An Zhen True Monarch to Tao Qiankun.
Tao Qiankun projected the file, crossing out company nas while saying, "When accepting advertisents, you can’t just look at the money. You must also consider the style and symbolism."
"Just like a cultivation thod, you can’t be eager for quick success, only looking at which thod advances you presently. You must also consider the long-term potential of the thod and whether it suits you."
"Advertisents are the sa. Many companies might offer more, but accepting them could lower your style, harm personal brand value, and even reduce your potential on the Immortal Path..."
"But for school administrators, they only consider this season’s revenue and won’t think about your future."
While speaking, Tao Qiankun crossed off advertisents from Extre Tiger, Demon Dao Pavilion, and several other companies.
Among the remaining brands, Tao Qiankun circled Ten Thousand Dao Craftsman Sect, Ling Xiao Manufacturing, Yunxiu Academy, and others.
He continued, "For the companies I’ve circled, let them co up with an advertisent plan and a detailed naming sche. You can decide later."
"Naming moves not only affect company image but the specific naming sche also influences you when executing the move."
"There’s a week until the next match. It’s neither long nor short, so you must seize the ti to discuss with them..."
Hearing Tao Qiankun’s advice, Zhang Yu felt he benefited greatly. After so discussion with An Zhen True Monarch, he sent his opinions to the company, waiting for the next feedback.
...
anwhile.
Inside the flying boat belonging to Sky Sword University.
Bai Zhenzhen sat cross-legged in a quiet room, watching the crimson sword qi fluctuating before her.
Scenes from the last match replayed in her mind.
When Zhang Yu and Kuang Tianqing engaged in their final battle, Bai Zhenzhen also wanted to contribute stronger and more powerful support.
Even before the war began, Zhang Yu wanted Bai Zhenzhen to try injecting sword qi into him to ambush Kuang Tianqing, but at that ti, Bai Zhenzhen tried over and over, unable to unleash that destructive black sword qi.
Later on, watching Zhang Yu step by step towards death, although Bai Zhenzhen’s sword qi turned once more into that life-exterminating, severing black sword qi, even the Taixiao Sacred Law Sword Formation couldn’t transmit this kind of sword qi, and it even damaged the Taixiao Sacred Law Flying Sword instead.
After the match ended, Bai Zhenzhen didn’t dare approach Zhang Yu, fearing she might accidentally kill the already severely injured Zhang Yu if her emotions shifted.
"I’m really useless..."
Bai Zhenzhen clenched her fist, "I can’t even stop others from insulting Zhang Yu and can’t help Zhang Yu with dual cultivation."
"Neither the demonic path works nor the righteous path can continue."
"Whether in ancient or modern tis, I am so useless, not at all like a Divinity Transformation Disciple from Sky Sword University should be."
However, after this team match, Bai Zhenzhen did not co away entirely empty-handed.
In watching Zhang Yu’s progression towards death, relying on her aptitude and the adaptability of her divine spirit root, she gradually gained a bit of control over the changes in sword qi of the Extre Emotion Sword Dao, and could retain so level of rationality while wielding sword qi.
At this mont, Bai Zhenzhen had finally comprehended so of the mysteries of the Extre Emotion Sword Dao.
"Only by having intense emotions born in the heart, experiencing love, hate, passion, and sorrow, can one truly drive the extre moves of the Extre Emotion Sword Dao."
"For only one whose feelings are deep as the sea, with utmost passion and true nature, can cut out severed emotions and obliterated vitality."
"To wield emotion with heartlessness, that is the essence of the Extre Emotion Sword Dao..."
Bai Zhenzhen’s eye sockets began to replay a video, the very scene of her and Zhang Yu first encountering Kuang Tianqing, watching as Kuang Tianqing began to humiliate Zhang Yu.
Heartache...
Bai Zhenzhen watched with growing agitation, her chest tightening, and the more she watched, the more her anxiety grew. The originally crimson Sword Qi around her transford with this emotion, turning into an ominous black Sword Qi filled with an aura of annihilation.
"Indeed..."
Opening her palm, Bai Zhenzhen watched the swirling black Sword Qi within one eye and the video of Zhang Yu’s struggle with the other, feeling the Sword Qi grow more intense.
"This is emotion controlling the emotionless. Only because of my deep feelings for Zhang Yu can I, due to his ordeal, unleash this life-extinguishing sword."
Bai Zhenzhen took a deep breath, closed the video, and the black Sword Qi around her gradually reverted to red.
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhenzhen stored the video file titled "Kuang Tianqing battles Zhang Yu (Upper)" into a secret directory.
With resentnt in her heart, Bai Zhenzhen thought, "I will rember every person who insults Zhang Yu, you will be the fuel for my Extre Emotion Sword Dao."
While Bai Zhenzhen was contemplating this, the voice of Seven Emotions Divine Monarch reached her ears: "Are you ditating on Sword Dao again?"
"If you want to trigger Extre Emotion Sword Dao by watching videos and reminiscing over those deeply ingrained scenes... then you are on the wrong path."
Bai Zhenzhen’s gaze tightened, "Master, what do you an?"
Seven Emotions Divine Monarch spoke indifferently, "You have a senior brother who has used this thod before."
"At first, he succeeded greatly. Watching videos while fighting, he repeatedly propelled Sword Qi to defeat his opponents, gaining much fa among the top ten, winning many championships."
"But human hearts are constantly changing, so are emotions."
"The more videos you watch, the higher the threshold becos."
"Initially, it might just be a commonplace video insulting his wife that could drive him to wield Sword Qi."
"But after watching for long, you start to beco numb, needing stronger stimulation, more insulting videos, to trigger his Sword Qi."
"Later, he even included demon descendants and college students in videos to provoke his Sword Qi."
"Continuing down this path... eventually, he crossed his limits, surpassed what he could endure, leading to deviation."
Seven Emotions Divine Monarch’s tone was cold and ruthless: "That’s why I say, this is a wrong path, and the end of it is deviation, total madness."
Bai Zhenzhen was shocked upon hearing and then said, "At least... it won’t be an issue in the short term."
She gritted her teeth and said, "I’ll be careful with the frequency, won’t use this trump card easily."
Seven Emotions Divine Monarch sighed, "Handle it yourself."
Bai Zhenzhen pondered, "If my Divine Spirit Root helps adapt, can it assist smoothly along this path?"
Thinking of the Divine Spirit Root, Bai Zhenzhen recalled the last ti she and Zhang Yu exchanged their Divine Spirit Roots at the civil engineering competition.
Though brief, it gave Bai Zhenzhen an extraordinary experience, making her eagerly anticipate the next exchange.
She thought, "Alas, now our exchanges of Divine Spirit Roots cause too much commotion; if I activate Sword Qi, it will attract others’ attention."
"Especially since this place is observed by many Divinity Transformation Divine Monarchs; if a Divine Monarch spies and discovers Yu Zi’s Divine Spirit Root..."
Though wanting to exchange Divine Spirit Roots with Zhang Yu to boost both their powers, Bai Zhenzhen knew now wasn’t the ti, needing a safer and more concealed opportunity.
Suppressing the urge to exchange Spirit Roots, Bai Zhenzhen looked at the side at the Flying Sword.
This Flying Sword, selected from Seven Emotions Divine Monarch’s sword library, remained beyond Bai Zhenzhen’s full control, yet she felt its imnse power within.
"The trump card cannot be used easily, the Spirit Root exchange temporarily unavailable."
Bai Zhenzhen stared at the Flying Sword before her, thinking, "Currently, the fastest way to boost combat strength is to completely master this Flying Sword."
...
Deep in the Spirit Realm.
Master Xinghuo looked at the text broadcast sent by Li Xuelian and Zhang Yu’s post-match interview and couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Master Xinghuo: "Unexpectedly, my na has a chance to spread in the university soday."
"I wonder what my old friends will think upon hearing this."
Li Xuelian said, "Father, if in the future Zhang Yu progresses to Golden Core, even Nascent Soul, you might have a chance to go back."
Master Xinghuo shook his head, "Just afraid soone might transfer their hatred for to Zhang Yu."
"Maybe the child shouldn’t have ntioned my na."
Li Xuelian said, "Father, so hate you, others rember you. I think those who hate you might not trouble Zhang Yu, while those who rember you... might give Zhang Yu so advantage."
...
anwhile, when Zhang Yu returned to his Flying Boat, he found Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s avatar already waiting there.
"Master!" Zhang Yu rushed over respectfully, "Why have you co?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch said calmly, "If I don’t co, my disciple will be mistaken as a student of the Civil Engineering Departnt."
