141: Chapter 141 Zhou Tian Star Sword Formation

When someone mentioned that final pure white sword qi,

it immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.

"Such pure sword qi... even my ninth-rank dad might not be able to unleash it."

"Alright, we all know your dad is ninth-rank. So what power was that?"

"I don't know..."

"Do you think Shen Xingchen can unleash that kind of sword qi again?"

"Probably not..." someone said uncertainly.

...

Sister Youyou from Fengyun University came to the tournament venue as usual today.

Although Fengyun University had been eliminated, she just wanted to see how far that young man could go.

But...

It was completely beyond her expectations.

As a freshman, he actually "led the team" to win the championship.

Shen Xingchen was the one who took care of Yeqiao, so there was no question that this victory was brought by Shen Xingchen.

...

Simp Number One, Song Wenrui, looked at Shen Xingchen from among the crowd, his eyes dazed.

Even Yeqiao was defeated!

Only now did he realize just how truly extraordinary the boy who won Jiang Qingyao's affection was.

This time, he was truly convinced.

...

All the team members from Shangjing University were actually a bit stunned.

They were originally waiting for the upcoming team matches, but they won the championship directly because of a clean sweep in the individual matches.

"Student Shen, you..." Liu Yuming opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He was supposed to be the pillar of the team, but Shen Xingchen had dealt with the opponent that troubled him the most.

Everyone looked at Shen Xingchen as if looking at a monster.

Wei Hao casually wrapped an arm around Shen Xingchen's shoulders. "Brother Shen, you're freaking amazing!"

Song Yuemei asked worriedly, "Student Shen, is the injury on your arm alright?"

She had seen with her own eyes Yeqiao's spear pierce into Shen Xingchen's flesh.

The opponent's spear art was clearly remarkable; could it have left any hidden injuries?

Shen Xingchen tore off a scrap of cloth, revealing the wound underneath. "It's no big deal."

Everyone looked over.

They saw that the wound on Shen Xingchen's arm was healing at a visible speed, almost restored to how it was before.

"Ah?"

Was this even normal?

Everyone was speechlessly shocked.

At this moment, Liu Fei suddenly spoke up, "We need to get to the hospital right away."

"Huh?" The others turned to look at Liu Fei.

Liu Fei said with a strange expression, "We need to hurry to the hospital, otherwise... the wound will be completely healed."

"Tch~" Everyone uttered a long collective scoff.

Deep down, they were still shocked by Shen Xingchen's recovery speed—he was simply inhuman!

Right at that moment...

"Will the winning academies please step onto the stage to receive their awards." A teacher from Shanghai Shenwu walked onto the main stage.

At the seating areas of each academy, the team members' eyes were drawn over.

"I heard that Shanghai Shenwu's prize pool includes Heaven-rank martial arts techniques this time."

"Every College Student Exchange Tournament hosted by the top three academies has them, alright?"

"There are also high-tier weapons, spiritual items, and forbidden items..."

Everyone cast envious looks.

"Third place, Shanghai Shenwu Team!"

The first to take the stage were the members of Shanghai Shenwu; they were the third-place winners of this competition.

For other academies, this was an honor, but for them, it was a disgrace.

Especially since they were competing on their home turf for this tournament.

In the center of the award podium, an eye-catching, giant screen projected a prize wheel.

The prizes on the wheel were a dazzling array that made everyone drool with envy.

After receiving their medals, the members of Shanghai Shenwu began drawing their prizes.

The probability of third-place winners getting top prizes wasn't very high; it was mostly Earth-rank martial arts techniques, fifth-grade weapons, and the like.

Surprisingly, a girl drew a Heaven-rank martial technique and jumped for joy.

The third-place award presentation concluded.

"Second place, Xinghai Martial Arts Team!"

The members of Xinghai Martial Arts looked somewhat dejected.

The death of their captain was too huge a blow for them, and many team members glared at Shen Xingchen with hostility.

The staff handed out medals to them one by one, followed by the routine prize draw.

Their luck didn't seem too good today.

The luckiest person only drew an Earth-rank cultivation technique, which was practically useless.

Finally...

"First place, Shangjing University!"

When the host read out this name, the entire arena erupted.

Reality proved that people usually only remember the champion of a tournament.

As for the runner-up, they were the biggest losers.

The team members of Shangjing University stepped onto the stage from the side.

This time, there was a subtle change in the order of the team: Shen Xingchen walked right at the front.

This was the Shangjing University members' respect for the strong.

As Shen Xingchen reached the center of the podium, the host greeted him with a smile, "Student Shen is truly an outstanding young hero."

This was genuine, heartfelt praise.

After all, Shen Xingchen was only a freshman, yet he was able to defeat Yeqiao and win the championship.

If he wanted to, no one would be able to stop him in the next three College Student Exchange Tournaments.

As the glittering gold medal was hung around Shen Xingchen's neck,

thunderous applause erupted throughout the entire arena.

"So freakin' awesome. I wish I could be in his shoes."

"The championship moment was broadcast live to the whole audience. I wonder how many fans Shen Xingchen will gain from this."

"Mainly, he's also so handsome..."

The Shangjing University team members took turns drawing their prizes.

Liu Fei had crazy dumb luck and actually drew a valuable spiritual herb.

Of course, the luckiest was Song Yuemei, who drew a Heaven-rank martial technique—Fire Dance Flowing Flame Style!

Shen Xingchen walked up to the bottom of the wheel and browsed through the various prizes.

[Cold Star Chasing Moon Spear]: Sixth-grade spear weapon, forged from Cold Star Stones, infuses attacks with stellar power...

[Longyuan Sword]: A treasure sword condensed from dragon fortune, assisting those with dragon-type Talent Divine Abilities in their cultivation...

[Xuanyin Jade Marrow]: Martial artists cultivating ice-attribute techniques can absorb it to greatly increase cultivation speed and ice-attribute density...

[Ancient Yuan Sword Art]: Heaven-rank sword technique martial art. When cultivated to mastery, it can release sword qi as heavy as mountains...

[...]

The people from Shanghai Shenwu were indeed generous; the champion's prize pool contained top-tier treasures.

Shen Xingchen was quite fond of that Ancient Yuan Sword Art. After all, what transmigrator didn't harbor a dream of roaming the world with a sword?

How awesome would that be!

Shen Xingchen pressed the center of the screen.

The needle began to spin rapidly, gliding past precious treasures one by one. As time passed, the needle slowed down.

[Ame-no-Murakumo Sword]

[Taihui North Pole Manual]

...

[Thank You for Participating]

When the needle pointed at [Thank You for Participating], Shen Xingchen's heart leaped into his throat.

Thankfully!

In the end, the needle barely shifted past, stopping at a scroll.

[Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Array]: Based on the stars in the sky, nineteen flying swords are arranged according to stellar orbits, channeling the power of the stars in the heavens to construct a sky-propping grand array...

Shen Xingchen was stunned at first. The cultivation conditions were far too harsh.

But then his eyes lit up.

Good stuff!

The power of this array was closely tied to the quality of the flying swords. Although his current fourteen dragon-patterned cyan jade swords could form an array, it was clearly not "proper" enough.

Now, he finally had a proper direction for his cultivation.
