At that moment, a voice trembled through the air, whispering into Qian Wangsun’s ear.
"Qian Wangsun, it is I, Zhao Shouyi."
Qian Wangsun’s gaze sharpened as he heard the other party continue, "I will arrange the limb regeneration for you. You must cultivate diligently and cherish this opportunity. For your hope represents another’s despair."
Qian Wangsun clenched his teeth hard, tears involuntarily flowing down his cheeks as he choked out, "Yes."
Lv Chongyang turned to his side and asked, "Teacher, do you plan to secure a spot for Qian Wangsun?"
Zhao Shouyi nodded, "To achieve such results in just one month of cultivation, this kind of talent shouldn’t be buried."
Lv Chongyang’s gaze hardened as he looked at Zhao Shouyi and asked, "Principal, where do you plan to squeeze out the spot?" Seeing the other’s silent demeanor, Lv Chongyang took a deep breath, "Pei?"
Pei was Zhao Shouyi’s granddaughter, who had lost both her feet to the Heavenly Demon during an external battle.
Hearing this, Zhao Shouyi’s gaze turned profound as he said, "Compared to Pei, humanity needs Qian Wangsun more."
Lv Chongyang recalled the girl who, since her severe injury, had become increasingly cold and silent, and finally he sighed.
"Let’s continue watching the competition," Zhao Shouyi quietly said, "This year’s top four are all quite interesting."
Meanwhile, after over half an hour of rest, the semifinals began.
The first match was Zuo Dao against Kong Zheng.
On the stage, Kong Zheng looked at the indifferent Zuo Dao in front of him, excitement reaching an extreme in his eyes.
His muscles twitched and quivered relentlessly, and hairs uncontrollably sprouted from his skin.
Two long fangs burst forth from the sides of his mouth.
His hands dropped to the ground, claws piercing through his fingernails, growing with traces of blood.
Kong Zheng’s appearance gradually became less and less human, his beastly eyes bloodshot as he stared at Zuo Dao and slowly said, "Zuo Dao, as long as I defeat you, I will be the strongest in this competition. I have been looking forward to this battle for too long."
"Defeat me?" Zuo Dao’s gaze sharpened as he stared straight at Kong Zheng, "Do you think you are any different from the others?"
Kong Zheng licked his blood-red tongue, his face becoming increasingly ferocious, looking more like a mutant than a human, "Whether there is a difference, you’ll know soon enough."
Sun Yuzhen declared, "The match begins."
Roar!
With a fierce roar, Kong Zheng’s body seemed to swell even more, like a flesh tank, he charged towards Zuo Dao with a howling gale.
Facing Kong Zheng’s charge, Zuo Dao merely waved his hand, and dozens of points of light lit up behind him, swords of law transformed into streaks of flowing light aimed at Kong Zheng.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Amidst the intense explosions, blood splattered from Kong Zheng’s body, his charge forcefully stopped; he tried to dodge around Zuo Dao’s attacks.
But he saw even more streaks of light bombard him, Zuo Dao in front appeared like a cannon of the gods, each second a hundred streaks of light shot out, causing Kong Zheng to constantly roar in anger and dodge, unable to get close to Zuo Dao after several attempts.

Roar! Kong Zheng roared fiercely, beastly shadows emerged behind him, his beastly Primordial Spirit fully erupted, causing the air around him to explode and the ground beneath to shatter into pieces as he charged head-on against Zuo Dao’s attacks.
"Zuo Dao! Let me be the one to defeat you!"
Facing Kong Zheng’s sudden burst, a faint trace of expectation flashed in Zuo Dao’s eyes, "Oh?"
He then snapped his fingers, and the next moment, a column of light twice as bright burst from behind him, ramming hard into Kong Zheng who was charging at him.
The beam of light directly countered Kong Zheng’s explosion, thoroughly grinding him from the front and leaving a long trail of shattered marks on the ground.
Kong Zheng was blasted from the center of the arena to its edge, and no matter how much he struggled or erupted, it was completely ignored, until he was ultimately blasted off the platform.
Kong Zheng fell off the platform, his body covered in blood, a large amount of his fur releasing waves of hot and steaming white mist, as if he was about to be cooked.
He gasped violently while staring at Zuo Dao, seeing the opponent’s calm demeanor, still having spare strength; disbelief washed over his eyes.
"Still not using full strength? Is this... the strongest power of this year? It’s like a mountain, like the sea—I simply can’t defeat him, the gap is too big."
Watching Kong Zheng down below, Zuo Dao turned and walked away, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, "This year, there is still no one who can match me?"
"Too... too strong. Far stronger than when he fought Yun Shi!!" Xia Li exclaimed in shock at the scene on the stage, "The attack covered almost half of the platform. And the power of this stream of light..."
Xia Li had recently fought Kong Zheng and was very aware of how strong Kong Zheng’s physical body combined with the power of the Primordial Spirit was.
Xia Li: "Kong Zheng’s 0th layer Divine Diagram has been fully cultivated. After transforming, his physical body infused with the power of the Primordial Spirit, his resistance might be the strongest among us this year, yet he couldn’t even withstand Zuo Dao’s attack?"
"It’s good I didn’t fight Zuo Dao just now. If I had, I probably wouldn’t even have had the chance to set up my Array before getting instantly killed. That would have hurt my score a lot."
Not only was Xia Li shocked, all the students present were stunned by Zuo Dao’s mode of attack, which seemed to be several levels above theirs.
Zhao Shouyi looked at Zuo Dao’s performance, his eyes also showing a hint of admiration: "Not bad, Zuo Dao’s Hundred Refinements of the Ghost God seems to have reached the limit of the 0th Realm. His talent in Artifact Refining might even surpass his father’s."
Zhou Shan suggested, "After he takes first place, we should tilt more resources his way. Such a talent is worth our substantial investment. Why not pull him into the special remediation class?"
Zhao Shouyi and the nearby teachers all nodded their heads.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bai and Liu Xian also stepped onto the arena.
But students, teachers, and even the audience were still discussing Zuo Dao’s recent competition.
On the platform, Liu Xian was also thinking about Zuo Dao: "Zuo Dao’s destructive power is too strong; there’s no chance to win through direct confrontation. I’ve got to think of something..."
However, Zhou Bai found a spot to sit down, looked at Liu Xian in front of him and said, "Ah, so weak. You go first."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xian’s eyebrows furrowed, interrupting his thoughts as he looked at Zhou Bai with a teasing gaze, "Zhou Bai, do you think that because you used the power of the Primordial Spirit to block the attacks from Yun Kong and Qian Wangsun, you can also block mine?"
But Liu Xian saw Zhou Bai seemingly unconcerned about what he said. Zhou Bai then took out a tissue from somewhere, vigorously wiped the ground, and lay down.
Christina: "Fancy!"
Liu Xian flashed a sign of anger in his eyes: "Do you want to fight me lying down like you did with Yun Kong?"
Zhou Bai still didn’t speak, merely wiggled his limbs, then his body lying on the ground suddenly propped up into a bridge, maintained the bridge position walking back and forth a few steps, then lay back down.
’Tina, do you think I move fast like this?’
’Disgusting.’
Liu Xian was completely infuriated by Zhou Bai’s disregard, stretching out his hand, and more than ten soldiers equipped with long spears and armor appeared around him.
Followed by Sun Yuzhen’s signal to start, the soldiers charged towards Zhou Bai lying on the ground.
