119: Chapter 119 Find a truckload of bread-bread men to take him down!
"They're coming, they're coming! The good show is about to start!"
"Jiang Qingyao's knight in shining armor has appeared!!"
"I wonder how strong that smelly guy is..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Could he possibly beat Senior Sister Song?"
Song Xinghan held a supreme status at Shanghai Shenwu.
This was not just because she was Elder Song's granddaughter, but even more so because her own strength was formidable enough.
At just her sophomore year, she was already a fourth-tier, level-six martial artist. Even those who had just entered the fifth tier would find it hard to gain an advantage against her.
Jiang Qingyao looked at Song Xinghan with a bit of unease.
She really didn't know what the other party was planning, or why she would step in to teach the boys pursuing her a lesson.
If it really was... that kind of intention...
Jiang Qingyao felt embarrassed just thinking about it.
She looked up slightly at Shen Xingchen.
Shen Xingchen was surprisingly calm, showing no signs of facing a formidable enemy at all.
That's right...
Shen Xingchen didn't even know Song Xinghan, so naturally he wouldn't feel any pressure.
Jiang Qingyao took half a step forward and said to Song Xinghan, "Senior Sister Song, is there some misunderstanding between us?"
She didn't want Shen Xingchen to go up against a fourth-tier martial artist because of her.
Shen Xingchen greeted Song Xinghan with a familiar look on his face: "We meet again!"
Song Xinghan ignored him completely.
She had already begun mobilizing the spiritual energy throughout her body, and the power of fourth-tier, level-six gushed forth.
She looked ready to fight to the end.
The crowd of onlookers grew even more excited.
"As expected, Senior Sister Song is making her move!"
"Junior Sister Song, teach this handsy guy a good lesson for us!"
They seemed to already see Shen Xingchen being beaten black and blue.
Chen Suisui also broke into a cold sweat for Shen Xingchen.
She was thinking on Jiang Qingyao's behalf, so naturally she didn't want things to escalate to this point.
Just as Jiang Qingyao was about to say something.
Shen Xingchen took a step forward and also began mobilizing his surrounding spiritual power.
Lightning circled around his body, and the spirit of an azure dragon surrounded him as well, giving him an extraordinary aura.
"He's fourth-tier too?"
Someone among the fanatical crowd exclaimed.
After all, Shen Xingchen didn't look very old either.
Jiang Qingyao stared at Shen Xingchen with her beautiful eyes in disbelief.
How long had it been, and he was already fourth-tier?
What kind of monster was her boyfriend!?
At the same time, she felt that long-lost sense of security once again.
It was a sense of security that had been missing ever since her father left, but was now picked back up through Shen Xingchen.
He could always appear by her side when she needed him most, and then resolve all the difficulties she faced with an extremely relaxed attitude.
Sensing Shen Xingchen's aura, Song Xinghan was equally surprised, and then said, "We agreed you can't use that move!"
They had an agreement before.
In their next contest, Shen Xingchen couldn't use that abnormal martial technique Heaven-Extinguishing God-Slaying Slash.
Shen Xingchen smiled: "I'm famous for keeping my word!"
"Good then!"
Song Xinghan's figure moved rapidly, charging straight towards Shen Xingchen.
Her Talent Divine Ability seemed to be of the dark attribute, and her spiritual power halo glowed with a mysterious light.
Just as Song Xinghan charged right in front of Shen Xingchen.
Shen Xingchen simply raised his palm.
A burst of thunder erupted forth.
Boom—
The two exchanged a palm strike.
Each backed away a few steps.
Shen Xingchen was slightly surprised.
At the moment he touched her palm just now, he felt a portion of his thunder absorbed by her.
That dark spiritual power could actually devour other people's spiritual power upon contact!
It was fortunate that he had condensed a golden source crystal, giving him a deep foundation and more refined spiritual power.
Otherwise, with that hit just now, his thunder would have crumbled on its own.
Song Xinghan could be called a once-in-a-century genius by a Xiang Realm expert like Song Jinqiu, so she indeed possessed real strength.
"Devouring spiritual power, is it? Then let's compete in physical strength!"
Shen Xingchen's aura suddenly shifted.
Switching from primarily thunder to a blue-gold dragon phantom encircling his body.
This time, Shen Xingchen charged forward rapidly and threw a punch.
"Eight Desolations Dragon-Nurturing Fist!"
Shen Xingchen's body turned into a blue-gold beam of light, rushing out with the sound of a dragon's roar.
Under the empowerment of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, Tiancang Azure Dragon already possessed SS-grade power, not inferior to the Myriad Gods Thunder Department in the slightest.
Earth-grade martial techniques were similarly formidable in power.
Song Xinghan suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure crashing down, and hurriedly activated her strongest martial technique.
"Great Nether Seal!"
A palm seal emerged from her palm, instantly stacking three layers.
This was a Heaven-grade martial technique learned from her grandfather, Song Jinqiu. Although it was only at minor mastery, the power it unleashed far exceeded Earth-grade martial techniques.
Bang—
In just a few breaths of time.
The two exchanged several more punches.
This time, both threw their punches heartily, showing every sign of being evenly matched.
However!
Right at the instant Song Xinghan struck out with another palm seal.
Seven cyan sword lights appeared like ghosts around Shen Xingchen's body.
The sword lights tightly enveloped the two of them, forming a sword formation within a few meters around them.
The sword qi was formidable and cold light flickered sharply.
Swish—
Several sword lights merely brushed past Song Xinghan's body without causing any harm.
But the chill on the sword light made Song Xinghan's heart run cold.
"I surrender!"
Song Xinghan shouted.
She knew that if Shen Xingchen hadn't held back just now, she would have been pierced straight through.
"That guy actually managed to beat Senior Sister Song? But his aura just broke through to fourth-tier, right?"
"Senior Sister Song was actually defeated by someone at a lower rank!!!"
"An expert! Who is he? I've never heard of such a person in the academy!"
"Although the fight was brief, the martial techniques both used were so high-grade. I probably couldn't learn them in a lifetime..."
"Forget learning in a lifetime, we might not even come into contact with martial techniques like that!"
"..."
Shen Xingchen withdrew his sword qi, looking at Song Xinghan with a smile.
Song Xinghan held it in for a long time: "Freak!"
"A loss is a loss, why start name-calling?" Shen Xingchen said, still smiling, acting quite smug after getting the upper hand.
"I just want to curse!" Song Xinghan retorted unreasonably.
"You know Senior Sister Song?" Jiang Qingyao came over from the side and asked.
This surprised Jiang Qingyao very much. The two were half a China apart, so how could they know each other?
Song Xinghan chimed in first: "Of course! Otherwise why would I help you beat up those simps? It was all instructed by that guy!"
Jiang Qingyao tilted her head, her big eyes looking at Shen Xingchen innocently.
Great!
She had been worrying for so many days.
Fearing that Senior Sister Song was the legendary... lesbian.
The final mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be her boyfriend.
And he didn't even tell her!!
Shen Xingchen gave an awkward smile.
Initially, he just felt that a guy worrying every day about his girlfriend being taken, feeling insecure... wasn't cool enough.
Only then did the spectating fans realize.
So this grand 'simp cleanup' plan was actually initiated by her boyfriend...
Song Xinghan really couldn't stand the sight of the young couple exchanging romantic glances.
She waved her hand: "You two enjoy yourselves, I'm leaving."
...
In the end.
It was Shen Xingchen and Jiang Qingyao strolling around the campus alone.
Jiang Qingyao seemed to have a lot of things bottled up to tell Shen Xingchen, chattering all along the way.
"You don't even know, the cafeteria food is like an old woman's foot-binding cloth, smelly and tough..."
"Look at the big arena over there, that's where the College Student Exchange Tournament is held..."
"Do you want to eat ice cream? My treat..."
...
In the dark shade where the light couldn't reach.
Several boys with bruised faces gathered together.
They were all secretly sizing up Shen Xingchen with unfriendly expressions.
"Why didn't Song Xinghan beat him up, but only beat us up?"
"I heard she couldn't win..."
These four boys with various injuries were all suitors of Jiang Qingyao.
Originally rivals, they actually joined forces against a common enemy because of Song Xinghan and Shen Xingchen.
"No way, we have to do something!!" an idea guy said.
"Right! Song Xinghan is a girl, I can accept her getting close to Goddess Jiang, but I can't accept this guy!"
"What should we do?"
"Song Xinghan has connections in the school so we can't touch her, but this guy is clearly from another school. Let's find people to beat him up!"
"Right, get a van load of guys to beat him up!"
