Outside the exam venue, Yun Suyi caught up with Phyllostachys Longipes, who had left when Han Sen started fighting.
"Brother Phyllostachys Longipes, please wait." Yun Suyi caught up with Phyllostachys Longipes.
Phyllostachys Longipes stopped and looked at Yun Suyi. He coldly said, "Sister Suyi, what is it?"
Yun Suyi knew Phyllostachys Longipes's personality, so she didn't want to beat around the bush. She asked him directly, "Brother Phyllostachys Longipes, who were you watching?"
"What does that have to do with you?" Phyllostachys Longipes frowned.
Yun Suyi quickly said, "Han Sen is my friend. Were you watching his fight?"
Phyllostachys Longipes nodded. He didn't try to hide anything, and he simply said, "It is because of him that I am participating in this exam. I am not interested in being first. I just want to fight him."
Yun Suyi had guessed that Phyllostachys Longipes might have been there to watch Han Sen, but she hadn't expected this answer. She was shocked.
"Why?" Yun Suyi looked at Phyllostachys Longipes with confusion.
Han Sen was very good, but Phyllostachys Longipes was very strong. After seeing Han Sen's power, Yun Suyi still believed Phyllostachys Longipes was invincible. That attitude was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Sky Palace students. It wasn't something Han Sen could change.
"Because he triggered the White Jade Jing's twelve buildings and five cities vision." Phyllostachys Longipes turned around and left.
"What?!"
Yun Suyi was shocked. In the history of Sky Palace, only a hundred people had been able to trigger a vision of the twelve buildings and five cities. Of all the Earls, only Phyllostachys Longipes could do that.
Even Thousand Feather Crane and Yun Sushang, who were very talented, only saw the twelfth floor. They did not see the fifth city.
After Han Sen defeated Cool Jade, there was no more match for him today. He had to wait for the second round tomorrow. However, he didn't leave immediately. He sat outside the arena and watched the matches.
The geno arts of the geno universe were different from those of the sanctuaries, but they seemed to be connected. Sky Palace's geno arts were superior, too. After watching them, Han Sen learned a lot. He was able to compare them to what he had learned before.
When the exam was over, Han Sen stood up and left the arena.
For the next few days, Han Sen did not encounter any strong opponents. Spell did show off, though. She used her pistols to destroy everything. She defeated five Earl students in a row.
But because no one was particularly famous, no one paid much attention to her.
Many people saw Spell, though, and they were very interested in her geno armament.
Phyllostachys Longipes only came to watch Han Sen's first fight. Perhaps it was because Han Sen's opponents were too weak. He knew he wouldn't be able to see anything, so he didn't come again.
Phyllostachys Longipes's fights were mostly fan meetings.
Not many students in Sky Palace were brave enough to fight Phyllostachys Longipes. When one finally did, Phyllostachys Longipes didn't even use his sword. He didn't even attack. All he did was change his footwork. And yet, that Earl student conceded.
Han Sen watched that fight, too. He was shocked. Phyllostachys Longipes was stronger than he had expected.
"After all, he is someone who has experienced the dream of a thousand lives," Han Sen thought to himself.
If he wanted to take first place and obtain Under the Sky, he would have to beat Phyllostachys Longipes. There was no other way.
The next day was Han Sen's fight against Phyllostachys Longipes. Han Sen returned to the Jade Island and continued practicing Jadeskin. He didn't pay much attention to the fight the next day.
At his level, he wasn't affected by his emotions. He just needed to do his best. Worrying about losing was pointless. It would only drain his energy.
"Brother Han, are you there?" Yu Jing's voice came from outside the island.
"What is it?" Han Sen walked out the door and saw Yu Jing sitting atop a Jade Night Crane, circling the island.
Seeing Han Sen come out, Yu Jing let the Jade Night Crane land on the island. He landed in front of Han Sen and asked, "Brother Han Sen, what are you preparing for tomorrow?"
"What preparation?" Han Sen looked at Yu Jing with confusion.
Yu Jing looked depressed. With a wry smile, he said, "You are going to fight Phyllostachys Longipes tomorrow. You must have heard of his power. You should be prepared."
"Like what?" Han Sen looked at Yu Jing and smiled.
"For example, you can prepare some pills that can temporarily increase your power. Or maybe you can find some rare treasures. Pills are not forbidden during the exam. If you don't have them, I have some that are quite good." Yu Jing pulled out a few jade bottles and handed them to Han Sen. He said, "I can sell them to you for the lowest price."
"I don't have money." Han Sen opened his hands.
"You can put them on credit," Yu Jing quickly said.
"I don't want to put them on credit," Han Sen said.
Yu Jing was angry, and he said, "Do you want to win or not?"
"Yes, I do." Han Sen nodded.
Yu Jing gritted his teeth and pulled out a bottle. He told Han Sen, "This bottle contains a Fenghou Pill. It was made by my grandfather, the Sixth Elder. After you use it, it can temporarily increase your power to Marquise for two hours. Then, you can fight Phyllostachys Longipes. I … I can lend it to you."
"Lend it?
How?
Won't it be gone after I eat it? "Han Sen asked Yu Jing.
"Take it. If you win, you can pay me back with a prize," Yu Jing said.
"What if I lose?" Han Sen smiled at Yu Jing.
"Then you can pay me back slowly. I'm not in a rush." Yu Jing's teeth were almost bleeding.
"I want it, but forget it. If I lose, I won't be able to pay you back." Han Sen smiled.
"You …" Yu Jing was furious. He had never done such a bad deal before. He had gone through so much trouble to get this Fenghou Elixir from his advisor. He had always regarded it as a treasure and could not bear to use it himself. He had always kept it as a trump card and would not sell it even if someone offered a high price to buy it.
Now, he was willing to lend it to Han Sen, and Han Sen didn't want it. How could he not be angry?
But if Han Sen lost, he'd be bankrupt. Thinking of this, Yu Jing suppressed his anger. He shoved the bottle into Han Sen's hands and said, "You don't need to pay me back. I'm giving this to you. Fight well. Do your best. Do your best to win tomorrow's fight."
When Yu Jing spoke, he felt as if his heart was bleeding. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the bottle in Han Sen's hands.
Although he knew Han Sen had little chance of winning, even if he used the Fenghou Pill, it was better than no chance at all. For the sake of his family's wealth, Yu Jing had to give it his all.
"If you really want to help me, why don't you lend me some Earl xenogeneic genes? I'll pay you back later," Han Sen said after a moment of thought.
"Sure. What kind of xenogeneic genes do you want?
How many? "
Yu Jing was very happy. If Han Sen had a chance of winning, he was willing to do anything. He was going to go bankrupt anyway, so he might as well give it a try.
"Any type is fine, but they have to be Earl. The more, the better," Han Sen said with a smile.
