Chapter 1473: The End of the Domain Traversal Battles

Jiang Qing'e's beautiful face began to emit an icy frostiness, then her cold gaze shot towards the Mythical Spirit Ancient College. Zhou Jun had just appeared on the platform. "Zhou Jun!"

Jiang Qing'e formed a seal with her fingers and condensed immense amounts of light resonant power in her hand. It very quickly transformed into a glorious, gigantic sword made of light that scintillated with all sorts of colors.

A sacred aura filled the air.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Sword of Light! The gigantic sword directly hacked through the skies and ferociously chopped towards Zhou Jun.

Jiang Qing'e's sudden action left everyone startled as no one had expected her to take action outside of the battlefield.

Zhou Jun's expression remained indifferent, as though he had already expected all of this. He formed a hand seal, and boundless thunder boomed before transforming into a giant palm made of thunder energy.

The lightning palm flowed with mysterious purple light that amplified the energy within.

Extreme Violet Thunder Tribulation Palm!

When the palm made of thunder struck the sword of light, the massive sword immediately shattered and the thunder and light resonant power started to erode each other away.

"Jiang Qing'e, you're not supposed to fight outside of the battlefield," Zhou Jun said with a smirk.

At this point, Yue Zhiyu frowned and responded, "Zhou Jun, you truly don't want any face either. Did an eighth-grade Duke actually launch a sneak attack on Qing'e after she resigned?"

They had chosen to resign, and it was at that moment that Zhou Jun took action.

The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's other squads naturally expressed their support and began to point at and lecture Zhou Jun as well.

The Mythical Spirit Ancient College's squads were all a little taken aback when they heard what had happened. However, Zhou Jun was their representative and they had to do their best to protect him. Even so, wasn't Jiang Qing'e overreacting? Did she have to take such actions? As a result, the Mythical Spirit Ancient College's students launched their own counterattack of angry words, and the entire situation turned chaotic.

Meanwhile, the squads from the Heavenly Origin Ancient College and the Divine Sun Ancient College watched with amused expressions.

At this point, Sheng Qiao'er joined the fray. After getting an understanding of the situation, she had chosen to support Jiang Qing'e and her voice boomed. "Zhou Jun, you truly are a despicable and dirty person. You're clearly afraid of her potential and wanted to take the opportunity to sneakily weaken her combat power, didn't you?"

Zhou Jun indifferently replied, "Sheng Qiao'er, there's no need to shout. Jiang Qing'e is an opponent that's worthy of fear. Thus, I could not relax and slipped up in the end. I didn't break any rules; its natural for me to remain on high alert until my opponent has completely left the field."

Sheng Qiao'er snorted coldly. Zhou Jun was sly and his words left no room for doubt. However, not every rule was blatantly written out and there were many such unspoken rules for the Celestial Mirror Pagoda's trials. Jiang Qing'e had expressed her intention to resign, yet Zhou Jun had attacked her. That was not sportsmanlike at all.

Even so, as Zhou Jun had said, he had done nothing wrong. Thus, they could only scold him and nothing else could be done.

Sheng Qiao'er turned towards Jiang Qing'e. "Qing'e, when I meet that fool, I'll be sure to give him a beating on your behalf."

Jiang Qing'e's eyes were focused on the Sacred Crown of Thorns in her hand. Although it was only a middle-grade Mythic Armament, it held great significance for her as it was a gift from Li Luo and forged by Li Jingzhe himself. She had been wearing it ever since she received it, and it was clear that she adored it from the depths of her heart.

However, the blemishes left behind by Zhou Jun were quite eye-catching. Jiang Qing'e placed the Sacred Crown of Thorns back on her head and calmly replied, "There's no need to do that, Mentor Qiao'er. I'll take revenge myself during the Celestial Mirror Martial Exchange."

Her voice was incredibly flat, but Sheng Qiao'er could sense the frighteningly cold intent hidden beneath her words, which caused even her to feel a sense of fear. This was the first time she had seen Jiang Qing'e this mad.

The fact that Zhou Jun had provoked Jiang Qing'e to this point was impressive.

Ning Meng suddenly piped up. "The Sacred Crown of Thorns was a gift from Li Luo."

Sheng Qiao'er's expression turned complicated, as though she had accidentally eaten a pile of crap.

Jiang Qing'e retracted her light resonant power and her gaze turned towards the outermost region, where she saw Li Luo's worried eyes. She nodded to indicate that she was unharmed.

When Jiang Qing'e's gaze met Li Luo’s, it was only then that he heaved a sigh of relief. After which, he frowned and glared at Zhou Jun.

He had been watching Jiang Qing'e's battle the whole time and thus, he had witnessed that despicable attack.

"What is that damn guy trying to do?" Li Luo was a little puzzled by Zhou Jun's final action. Other than infuriating Jiang Qing'e, that streak of black thunder hadn't caused any substantial harm to her. Was he dissatisfied after winning? Was infuriating Jiang Qing'e that fun? Zhou Jun was an eighth-grade Duke, but Jiang Qing'e was a third-grade Transcendent and not worth provoking. Li Luo was capable of overcoming an opponent five grades above himself, and considering Jiang Qing'e's foundation and trump cards, he didn't believe that she was unable to deal with an eighth-grade Duke.

Her team had lost because the difference in strengths between the squads was large. If it was just one-on-one, with Jiang Qing'e's personality, she would have fought to the bitter end.

So what was Zhou Jun doing? He didn't have any enmity with her prior to this.

However, he had sown the seeds today. Li Luo retracted his gloomy gaze. Zhou Jun had used his right index finger to send out that black thunder attack. Thus, if the opportunity arose, it would be fitting to cut his right arm off, right?

After this event passed, the battles continued.

More and more squads were eliminated and the remaining battles became more and more intense. Jiang Qing'e's squad attained eighteen victories before losing their second battle in the hands of the Heavenly Origin Ancient College's eighth-grade Duke, Lin Ju.

Thus, she was finally eliminated.

That said, her results were exceptional. She ended up only below the reaper squads from the ancient colleges. Of course, this result was not unique to them.

The team led by the Divine Sun Ancient College's Diwu Mingxuan, the Duke of Light, had also obtained a similar result.

In the end, it was time for the four reaper squads to face off against each other.

The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's Sheng Qiao'er was pitted against the Divine Sun Ancient College's Song Jing.

The Heavenly Origin Ancient College's Lin Ju then faced off against the Mythical Spirit Ancient College's Zhou Jun.

When their squads clashed, it formed the greatest spectacle thus far. In the end, Song Jing narrowly defeated Sheng Qiao'er, allowing the Divine Sun Ancient College to take first place amongst the four ancient colleges. The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College was second, the Mythical Spirit Ancient College was third, and the Heavenly Origin Ancient College was last.

Thus, the first part of the Celestial Mirror Pagoda's trials, the Domain Traversal Battles, came to an end.
