Chapter 91 Chapter 91 “It’s like leaving some last words…
"Follow me." Ji Changsu was interrupted by Jiang Qing's words and glared at her fiercely.
Jiang Qing didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. He held the jade box obediently and brought the restless Zhu Tianba and followed Ji Changsu to her office.
After closing the door, Ji Changsu seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and leaned back on the desk somewhat weakly.
She looked at Jiang Qing with a complicated expression and said slowly, "You... and Zhu Tianba, are you ready to go home?"
Jiang Qing's heart skipped a beat. Although she had guessed it long ago, hearing it confirmed by Ji Changsu herself still made her breath catch.
She clutched the jade box tightly in her hand, her fingertips turning slightly white from the force, and nodded: "Can I still go home?"
Ji Changsu was silent for a long time before he said, "I don't know."
"You have a choice." Ji Changsu's voice was low and hoarse. "Zhenxingtai is one of the weakest spots in Qiuluyuan, and even in the entire Yuncang Continent. By leveraging the power of the [Zhenyu] origin that Zhu Tianba unleashed upon his full awakening, and using my own source power as a guide, I can forcibly create a temporary space-time rift there."
She paused, then looked at Jiang Qing sharply. "The rift won't last long. As for the coordinates... I can't pinpoint where you came from. I can only roughly point to the source of your spiritual energy. Whether you can return accurately depends on your luck."
"Once you step in, there's no turning back. Everything here will have nothing to do with you."
She paused and looked at Zhu Tianba with a complicated look: "Including it..."
Jiang Qing listened silently, his heart beating heavily in his chest.
Her lips trembled, wanting to ask but not daring to speak, and finally she opened her mouth: "After the space-time gate opens, where will Zhu Tianba go?"
Ji Changsu didn't want to lie to her and said honestly: "Maybe I can go to your world with you, or I might be sent to its original world."
Jiang Qing lowered his head in thought.
Being sent to her world means that Zhu Tianba can only be an ordinary pig, cannot arouse the suspicion of her world, and cannot talk to her without scruples.
Otherwise she might be mistaken for a lunatic.
There is also the most crucial issue. The spiritual beasts in this world generally have a long lifespan. Zhu Tianba is a divine beast, so its lifespan will be even longer. After a hundred years, when she sleeps underground, no one knows whether Zhu Tianba will be discovered, captured, and locked up in a laboratory for research.
Going home, this has always been her dream and desire.
But when this moment was really before her, she realized that in addition to the faint excitement in her heart, there was also so much reluctance and regret.
The Fifth Academy, Li Xiu, Zhao Peng, Meng Yanlang, Huoqiu Mountain... as well as the parents in this world, and Teacher Chen Ming and others.
Of course, the most important thing is Zhu Tianba who has been with her for such a long time.
"You have thirty-two hours left to think." Ji Changsu reminded.
"I understand." Jiang Qing's voice was a little dry. She raised her head, her eyes had returned to calm. "Thank you, Principal Ji."
Ji Changsu waved his hand, his face showing an expression of exhaustion. "No need to thank me, we each get what we need. Hurry up and let Zhu Tianba absorb the source power. I'll be waiting for you at the Zhenxingtai after the finals begin."
"Don't reveal your intentions before you reach Zhenxingtai. You still have to put on a show to compete." Ji Changsu added before the two of them started.
…
After returning to his residence, Jiang Qing opened the jade box.
The pure fragments of beast core source power seemed to have life and were flowing with a warm luster.
Zhu Tianba, who is usually very sharp, behaved out of character at this moment.
Even without saying anything, Jiang Qing could see the impatience in its eyes. After getting Jiang Qing's permission, it carefully touched the fragments with its nose.
In an instant, a dazzling black-gold light burst out, illuminating the entire room like daylight.
Zhu Tianba's body was lifted up by the light and suspended in mid-air. The small vest on his body moved without wind, and his black mane stood up, greedily absorbing the pure original energy.
Jiang Qing could clearly feel that what was transmitted through the seal of the contract was the rapid leap of Zhu Tianba's life level, as well as the increasingly heavy power that seemed to be able to carry the earth.
Before this beast core was used, it was a beast core that carried earth attribute source power.
When the last ray of light was completely absorbed by Zhu Tianba, it slowly fell to the ground. Its size seemed to have not changed much, but there was something more in the depths of its amber eyes. Its golden pupils were like the entire starry sky and the earth, extremely deep.
The aura it exudes has reached a whole new level.
"Jiang Qing." Zhu Tianba called softly and rubbed against Jiang Qing affectionately. His voice was gentle, like the sound of a clear spring in a mountain stream.
Jiang Qing opened his mouth and was about to ask Zhu Tianba about his opinion on going home, but the next second, he felt a slightly warm touch on his wrist.
I saw that on the seal of the contract, a pattern of beast taming talent had appeared at some point.
Jiang Qing stared blankly at the new pattern that appeared on his wrist.
That's the shape of an anchor point.
"This is..." She lightly touched the pattern with her fingertips, and a strange feeling flowed into her heart along the seal of the contract. In an instant, she felt a stable connection that transcended time and space.
Zhu Tianba raised his head, a light of insight flowing in his amber eyes. He explained in a voice that had become as sweet as a spring: "Anchor binding, Jiang Qing."
"This is a derivative of my understanding of the laws of time and space after the full awakening of the [Town Domain]. It connects our souls to the essence of existence and serves as an anchor."
It paused, and spoke each word with unparalleled clarity: "From now on, no matter how far apart we are, even if separated by time and space, as long as the anchor point remains, I can sense you and find you. Wherever you go, I will go."
"We will not separate."
These few short sentences, like warm sunshine, dispelled the last trace of haze and hesitation.
Jiang Qing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, seemed to have found its place of rest in an instant.
It turns out that Zhu Tianba’s silence during this period was not because he had no conscience, but because he had already thought of anchor binding.
She squatted down, hugged Zhu Tianba's thick neck tightly, buried her face in his hard bristles that smelled of soil and sunshine, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, then let's... go home together."
Zhu Tianba nuzzled her contentedly: "Kang!"
......
In a blink of an eye, the final day arrived.
The home of the Fifth Academy, Qiuluyuan Broken Star Valley.
There was a lot of noise outside the stadium and the atmosphere was extremely heated.
The flags of various colleges were flying, and everyone was looking forward to this ultimate showdown, especially the students of the Fifth Beastmaster College.
Since all the results of the fourth game were invalidated, the score gap between their Fifth Academy and the First Academy narrowed again. Only by winning this game can they have a chance to win the final championship.
The atmosphere within the Fifth Academy team was somewhat subtle.
The team members are making final preparations and warm-ups, and their morale is high.
There was Jiang Qing, who had changed from his usual calmness and seemed a little silent.
She carefully examined every pattern on Zhu Tianba's vest. Her movements were gentle, but her eyes were a little vague, as if she was looking at something else through the things in front of her.
"Jiang Qing, what's wrong? Are you nervous?" Zhao Peng walked over, patted her shoulder, and said with a hearty smile, "This is not like you. Don't worry, in our territory, no one can take away the championship position!"
Jiang Qing shook his head and sighed: "You are still so reckless."
Zhao Peng: “???” Just say what you want to say, why are you attacking me personally?
Jiang Qing didn't wait for him to respond and said to himself, "Zhao Peng, don't be so proud in the future. No one will look down on you."
Zhao Peng was stunned for a moment, then grinned. "Why are you being so fussy today? It's like you're leaving some last words. If we win the game, you have to treat us!"
Jiang Qing looked at his heartless smile, her throat tightened a little, and in the end she just said "hmm" softly.
She sighed to herself for a while and recalled that when she first met Zhao Peng, he fainted from the pain while trying to catch up with her.
Zhao Peng's face flushed red. "You're crazy! Why are you exposing my secrets for no reason?"
Then he gave her a strange look and left Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing was sad for a while and decided to say goodbye quietly to everyone he knew.
Therefore, everyone in the Fifth Beast Taming Academy team knew that Jiang Qing's behavior today was strange, and it was probably because the joy of victory was overwhelming him.
For this reason, everyone even petitioned for Team Lei to go and subtly "remind" the players that popping champagne at halftime is unacceptable! !
She took a deep breath and was immersed in the emotions she had created when she saw Renata walking towards her.
"Jiang Qing, we are still in the competition, please correct your attitude." She criticized her seriously for a while.
Jiang Qing suppressed the emotion that was about to burst out. When he heard the captain's serious attitude, his eyes suddenly became sore: "Captain Lei is still so ruthless..."
The sudden burst of tears made Renata pause and she began to seriously consider whether her tone was really too harsh.
Although Jiang Qing's attitude today was a little improper, she had seen her performance in the arena for so many days.
We cannot criticize harshly just because of a momentary misconduct.
Renata reflected seriously, slowed down her tone, and was about to speak.
Jiang Qing on the side suddenly adjusted himself.
"Captain Lei is right to criticize me! What else does the organization need me to do?" Jiang Qingzhong was full of energy, with a positive attitude and overflowing passion.
Renata: “…???”
Fortunately, Renata was well-informed and quickly recovered her composure. She coughed twice and remained as calm as ever. "...Okay! According to the plan, you and Zhu Tianba will still be our spearheads. From the start, you will directly seize the commanding heights of the Zhenxingtai."
Jiang Qing blinked, and then realized that the "Star-Suppressing Tower" that she and the principal had planned to obtain was the lighthouse with the highest point prize pool in this competition. Whoever obtained it first would be able to turn the tide.
"Yes!" Jiang Qing nodded, his voice steady and without any abnormality.
"Okay," Renata patted her shoulder, neither too hard nor too soft, with a touch of trust and entrustment, "It's up to you."
