Chapter 1757: Stay Steady
Qin Zhen was suspended above the misty lake. She was the only person visible in the Rubik's Cube screen, and she was surrounded by endless mist.
Everyone stared at the screen nervously, wondering in their hearts whether this woman with an amazing figure and unknown appearance could break through the fog, whether she could avoid the attack of the underwater monster, or how she could pass the level and pick the golden apple.
Waiting, everyone was waiting, but as time passed, Qin Zhen remained suspended there without moving, as if the picture was frozen.
"What's going on? Is the live broadcast stuck?"
"The level of technology is getting worse and worse. Even a simple live broadcast can get stuck."
"We strongly condemn the incompetent federal officials."
"What are you yelling about? What's stuck? Open your eyes and see clearly. The fog is still moving."
"It's really moving. So if there's no card, then why isn't she moving?"
"Did your brain suddenly go bad?"
Everyone looked at the live broadcast in confusion, wondering what the woman was waiting for.
When Zhou Wen saw Qin Zhen standing there motionless, he couldn't help but cover his forehead with one hand, his face full of depression.
He naturally knew what Qin Zhen was thinking, but he had just clearly told Qin Zhen to stay calm and not act recklessly. Now she was standing there waiting for the invisible monster in the lake to come out, wanting to kill the monster in the water. Is there anything more reckless than this?
Finally, Qin Zhen moved, condensing light into a sword and slashing at the calm lake surface.
Snap!
Although no one could see what Qin Zhen's sword hit, the sound of it breaking made people know that she must have hit something and cut it in half.
The purple light condensed into a sword and was held in Qin Zhen's hand. After one sword strike, the sword light intertwined and slashed towards the lake surface.
There was a constant sound of cracking, like the sound of steel being cut. Qin Zhen was like a queen, high above everyone else, mercilessly whipping the ants at the bottom.
"Oh my god, this woman is so fierce! She actually wants to kill the invisible monster in the lake! She won't leave until she kills it!"
"This is incredible, absolutely incredible, this is too crazy, they don't care about clearing the level, they just come here to kill monsters and gain experience."
"This woman is really...unsolvable..."
"There's really no solution. This figure and this swordsmanship are both too domineering."
"I just don't know what the face looks like."
The previous tension disappeared without a trace in an instant. Now no one was worried about whether Qin Zhen could pass the level, and the atmosphere became very joyful.
People are speculating whether the woman can kill the invisible monster in the lake, and some people have even started betting.
Qin Zhen didn't let them wait too long. After a series of breaking sounds, Qin Zhen suddenly became one with the sword, transforming into an extremely domineering purple sword rainbow and rushing into the lake in an instant.
This wave of actions stunned everyone. Everyone was thinking about how to pass the level, but this woman didn't leave until she killed the monsters. She actually rushed into the lake by herself. If it happened to an ordinary person, she would be a master at courting death.
Boom!
A purple sword light like a beam of light burst out from the lake and rushed directly into the sky. It seemed that something was shattered in the sword light, making a loud sound like broken glass.
With that loud noise, the thick fog covering the Misty Lake dissipated, revealing the clear lake water as clean as a mirror and the strange golden fruit tree in the distance.
There was also Qin Zhen who appeared in the sky along with the sword light, looking down at the golden fruit tree like a queen high above.
"This woman is so crazy and fierce. How will she ever get married?"
"They have the capital to be arrogant. If you have the ability, go and kill a monster on the Rubik's Cube."
"My Queen, please accept my knees and me as well. I am willing to die for you..."
"I told you, there are many strong people among humans. It's just that no one was willing to step forward before. Now so many have suddenly appeared..."
Amid people's discussions, Qin Zhen walked towards the golden fruit tree. The distance to the lake was not as far as he had imagined. The reason why it felt so far away was because of the fog.
Without a doubt, Qin Zhen cut down the golden apple with one sword, and the Rubik's Cube scene ended and turned into the Rubik's Cube ranking list.
Mingxiu took ninth place, Feng Qiuyan took seventh place, and Qin Zhen ranked higher than them because he killed the monster in the lake, and took fourth place.
There was no big problem with the ranking. After all, it was not the first, and the gap in ranking behind was not that big. But when people saw the names on the Rubik's Cube ranking list clearly, they were all stunned and stood there.
"Zhou's disciple Qin Zhen! Another one from the Zhou family!"
"This is going to be amazing! Three people from the Zhou family have made the list in a row."
"I suddenly thought of Mingxiu's title!"
"Haha, it seems I'm not the only one who thought of this. It's absolutely true that Zhou is the weakest disciple. Feng Qiuyan and Qin Zhen are indeed stronger than him. He deserves to be the weakest."
"That's ridiculous. The weakest student is already ninth on the list. Am I living in a dream?"
"Mingxiu is the weakest. I wonder how many other disciples are as capable as Mingxiu. I wonder if he will pick all the remaining golden apples today!"
"Oh my god, it won't be so explosive!"
"I think it's okay. The six major families have all been cowards, but now Zhou Wen's disciples have stood up and fought for us humans. They are true heroes of humanity."
"Love, love, who knows how to become a disciple of Zhou Wen? I am willing to be the weakest among Zhou's disciples."
Words like "Zhou's disciples" became popular instantly, and some people changed their online names to "Zhou's disciples so-and-so", and some even changed their online names to "Zhou's disciples' running dogs".
"What do you say now? She is not a spokesperson, right?" Zhou Wen asked the girl with a smile.
"She is not the spokesperson, but how do I know if she was taught by you personally? Maybe you begged her to impersonate her." The girl was still stubborn. If the Saint of the Temple of Tracks took a human as her teacher, she would lose face.
"Since you say so, let's end the bet here." Zhou Wen said lightly. He didn't really want the girl to perform the ceremony of becoming a disciple, nor did he want to really force her into a corner.
Zhou Wen had already recognized Xiao, who had changed her appearance, and could roughly guess the girl's origins.
The girl became excited after hearing what Zhou Wen said.
According to the girl's logic, if she was sure of victory, how could she let it go so easily?
Zhou Wen actually let it go like this. He must be feeling guilty. The guy named Qin Zhen is definitely not his apprentice. Zhou Wen is a big liar.
"No, I always keep my promises. As long as you can prove that she was taught by you, I will immediately serve tea and become your disciple." The girl thought she had caught Zhou Wen's flaw and said arrogantly.
"How do you want me to prove it?" Zhou Wen asked.
"It's simple. Since she is your student, her swordsmanship must have been taught by you. Just show her the swordsmanship she just showed me. If the teacher's swordsmanship is not as good as the student's, then our bet..." The girl didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear. If Zhou Wen's swordsmanship was not as good as Qin Zhen's, she would win the bet.
