Sternritter Calendar

The sun had already begun to set, and thus, the curtains closed for the matches on the first day. More than two thousand matches had undergone on thirty arenas.

Within these many matches, there would definitely be some there were spectacular and thrilling, but, after the first day of the tournament ended, the hottest topic brought up was not about any of those matches, but about the unexpected monster, Dennell Jean.

No one knew about his combat prowess except for fellow Sky Profound Cultivators, who tried to make guesses when Jean threw his heavy sword with easiness.

Qin Wushang: I have looked at the information of the participants in the fifteenth group. There's basically no strong practitioners inside; at the very least, there's not a single disciple from the four great sects. So you can even relax, nothing would happen even if they came all together.

Jean: *Sigh* And I was hoping for some fun…

Jean looked around, seeing many people looking at him while they walked, but his gaze temporarily rested on one thing… Xia Qingyue's eyes that were also looking back at him.

Both of them were far away, and they looked at each other for 3 seconds, before their gazes split apart, neither of the two wanted to do anything with the other for now, especially in public.

Jean: Heh… I wonder what would happen if she wasn't a disciple of the Frozen Cloud Asgard…

[2 days later]

The first round of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament continued, Dennell Jean would either swing his right arm around or wait that the opponent would give up, but there was something that happened yesterday, and it shocked a bit Jean too…

[Flashback]

Referee: Match start!!

This round was between Jean and someone who also thought he was faking his power, everyone was cheering for Jean, there were more than 100'000 people cheering for Jean, and this caused a certain something to happen…

...The schrift Superstar activated…

The Superstar would increase one's power exponentially to the people that cheer for that person, even if there was a single person, Jean would increase his power from the 1st Sky Profound Realm to the 4th Sky Profound Realm, and now that there were 100'000…

Current profound strength: 1st Sovereign Profound Realm

Current combat prowess: Profound God.

Jean could feel his power overflowing from his body, no one was able to sense it, but Jean held the power to be the absolute ruler of the Blue Pole Star, even Jasmine almost spit blood when she sensed Jean's power, and after some calculations, she knew where Jean's combat prowess reached to.

Obviously, it didn't ended well for the opponent...

[Back]

After the first round of group stages ended, Fen Juechen pumped his fist and cheered, Cang Yue was beaming, and Qin Wushang could not contain his smiles any longer.

Even though he knew that Jean could make it into the second round of group stages, when it finally happened, he was still unable to control his emotions…

Because this was the first time ever that the disciples representing the Blue Wind Imperial Family made into the second round of group stages! The first time a disciple entered into the top three hundred rankings!

Qin Wushang: I will immediately send news to the Emperor. He will be very happy upon receiving this news.

Cang Yue: This is too wonderful Junior Brother Jean. You have established a new ranking record for disciples representing the Imperial Family. After Father receives news of this, he will certainly be very happy. Junior Brother Jean, I sincerely thank you.

Jean: Then why not thanking me with a kiss?

Cang Yue: Ah? Right here?

Cang Yue looked around in all four directions and a shade of pink spread across her absolutely beautiful face. Her lips puckered slightly. She suddenly moved forward, left a quick kiss on Jean's face, and then immediately lowered her head with her heart pounding fiercely.

*Bang*

A certain someone's armrest of his chair broke in that moment due to jealousy, little hint, it's Fen Juechen's brother.

[22/3/1996]

[U: "Underbelly"]

On the 4th day of the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament, the second round officially started. Right now, from the 1545 disciples, only 300 remained.

Referee: Sword Discourse Arena Number Seven, first match. Blue Wind Imperial Family's Dennell Jean, versus, Thunderbolt Lightning Pavilion's Lei Zhentian!

Both of them were in the arena, Lei Zhentian's eyebrows twitched and sighed, then he bowed down and said in a respectful manner.

Lei Zhentian: Senior, I hope if you want to exchange pointers with this little one!

Jean: Just go, we aren't here to spar.

Jean was disinterested on the fight, so he answered with a bored tone. This obviously made Lei Zhentian a bit angry, but he could only swallow his rage back and hope to not come out too injured.

Referee: Match start!!

Without saying anything more, he swung his twin hammers, creating two fierce and abnormal waves of wind which struck directly towards Jean's c.h.e.s.t.

*Bang* *Bang*

This wasn't the sound of weapon clashing with body, but it was the sound of the hammers breaking and fly away from their handles…

Lei Zhentian: (・.・;)

Jean: (=_=)

Lei Zhentian: ...Please don't kill me, almighty one…

*Bang*

Lei Zhentian was flung away against the barrier with a flick on the forehead…

Referee: ...Blue Wind Profound Palace's Dennell Jean wins…

In the second match, his opponent was a spear-using practitioner with strength at the 5th Spirit Profound Realm. This time, he surrendered immediately and left the arena, leaving Jean there…

Referee: ...Blue Wind Imperial Family's Jean wins!

Third match...

Referee: ...Blue Wind Imperial Family's Jean wins!

Fourth match…

Referee: ...Blue Wind Imperial Family's Jean wins!

Fifth match...

Sixth match…

Seventh match…

Eighth match…

Jean: Boooooring…

Fen Juechen: Junior Brother Jean, this isn't the behavior one should have… *Sigh*

Jean: It's easy for you to say it, at least you have exciting fights! ...Nevermind, I will go to rest, the faster this day passes the better it is… If there is something important then wake me up.

Jean turned to his room and got to the bed.

[Night]

Jean: Zzzzz…

*Knock* *Knock*

Jean: Uh? Wha...t… Who is the bloody whore who knocks at the door at the… 0:23?! Are you retarded or wha- Oh, it's you.

Jean opened the door and found Fen Juechen holding something.

Fen Juechen: I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep, but the disciple Xia Qingyue from Frozen Cloud Asgard asked me to bring you certain items that she wanted to give to you, but it was useless now.

Jean: She?

Fen Juechen nodded and gave him a spatial ring, he checked it and his eyes widened.

A profound core. Its aura was thick and rich; it was clearly an Earth Profound Beast's profound core.

A chunk of fist sized crystal that looked like purple-colored ice crystals… it was shockingly a Purple Veined Heavenly Crystal.

And planted within a transparent jade bottle, was an eccentric grass with a twisted stem, seven sharp and long leaves, as well as a seven-colored brilliance flowing through its entire body… Seven Profound Gem Grass.

Those were the items that he asked to Xia Qingyue when he was still crippled!!

Jean: How long has it been since she left?

Fen Juechen: Just a while ago, don't tell me-

Jean's current schrift is Vanishing Point, so he used the 3rd Version to disappear from the existence, Fen Juechen's eyes widened when he tried to remember why he was there, he slowly rubbed the back of his head, trying to remember, before he left.

After exiting the courtyard, Jean stopped for an instant, and perceived the remaining threads of ice-cold aura with his incomparably sharp sense.

Following the direction that the ice-cold aura had lead to, Jean went full throttle, and madly chased. Not long after, under the pitch-black curtain of night, a graceful figure in fluttering snow-colored attire appeared in his vision. He slowed down his footsteps, he turned back visible and quickly called.

Jean: Qingyue!

The voice that came from behind made Xia Qingyue stop her feet. She quietly turned around, and her eyes met with Jean, who had chased here. In regards to Jean's pursuit, she did not seem to be very surprised, except for the fact that she was unable to sense him until now.

Her charming eyes did not waver, and her voice was soft and calm.

Xia Qingyue: What matter does Sir Dennell seek from this Qingyue?

Jean's corner of his mouth cramped when he heard his wife calling him "Sir Dennell", but he just spoke.

Jean: Qingyue, I want to ask you a question… Our marriage certificate that I passed over to you that day… is it still there?

Xia Qingyue lifted her snow-white hand, and lightly stroked her ring. A sheet of flat and undamaged marriage certificate that was meticulously protected within a colorless crystal was taken out by her.

With a lifting motion of her hand, the marriage certificate flew toward Jean, and landed in his hands… And surprisingly, this sheet of paper, was precisely the marriage certificate between him and Qingyue that was perfectly flawless and undamaged!

Jean's heart was slightly moved, ever since the moment he gave it to her, she didn't damaged it to the slightest…

Xia Qingyue: That time, you didn't have the power to protect this marriage certificate, so you passed it on to me. Now, you already have more than enough strength to protect it, so it should be returned to you anyway.

Jean: "...If you want to be my wife, then good, protect this marriage certificate. But if you want to be free again, then destroy it right now and we will not have any connection between us…" Those were the words I spoke back then… You did not just not destroy it, but you also cured it the entire time…

Before, I stated that I saw you only as a friend, I admit that my feelings for you changed a bit with time, but you seem literally dead inside now… Can I at least know the reason why you protected the certificate until now?

Jean could clearly feel that from being cold as ice, she turned apathetic… Her eyes were completely empty, as if he was speaking to a golem instead of a human…

Xia Qingyue: ...Congratulations! You've reached the right person! It's Xia Qingyue. Unfortunately, you've called at the wrong time. Please leave a message with all your contact information, and I'll call you back within 5 years.
