Chapter 515: Receiving My Ultimate Passion Swordsmanship (Thanks to ‘500 Jin the Expansion King’ for Rewarding the Alliance Leader)

With the emergence of multi-colored light, a blurry figure slowly appeared within Zhang Yu's eye sockets.

Then, a female voice entered Zhang Yu's ears: "Zhang Yu, we meet again."

Gazing at the indistinct figure, Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "You are... the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions!"

He inwardly cursed, "This is bad. It seems Wen Wuya's actions have been discovered. It will probably be much harder to contact Ah Zhen from now on."

"Is the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions here to settle a score with me today? But this is the City of Ten Thousand Laws University, after all!"

Zhang Yu quickly reconsidered, recalling the previous scene where the Divine Monarch of Qiongjiang descended across the Spirit Realm and fiercely battled the Divine Monarch of Myriad Transformations. "Even if the Divine Monarch of Transformation isn't here in person, the aftermath of their fight would be enough to bankrupt me!" He wondered, "Should I quickly call True Monarch Magnet for help, or the three Divine Monarchs in the school? But that would completely sour my relationship with the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions. Perhaps I should first hear what she's here for?"

Just as Zhang Yu's thoughts were swirling chaotically, the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions calmly said, "Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen often talks about you! You've wanted to join Hehuan University since high school, haven't you?"

Zhang Yu was momentarily at a loss for how to answer. He finally managed an awkward laugh, "In high school, how could I know what major was good? Now, I just want to work hard in the Artifact Forging Department and deeply cultivate the Grand Dao of Artifact Forging!"

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions neither confirmed nor denied Zhang Yu's answer, merely stating, "The Artifact Forging Department is indeed more reliable than Civil Engineering! If you hadn't transferred to the Artifact Forging Department, I wouldn't have bothered coming to see you today."

Just as Zhang Yu was secretly feeling proud of his identity as an Artifact Forging student, he heard the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions continue, "Given your identity in the Artifact Forging Department, the terms I'm offering you today will be a little better! 1000 spirit coins. I'll give you 1000 coins..."

Zhang Yu's heart first flinched, then sank. "Is she offering me 1000 spirit coins to leave Bai Zhenzhen? Hmph, she underestimates me too much. Even 1000 spirit coins wouldn't make me agree..."

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions' voice continued, "Within three days, you must travel to Heavenly Sword University and live and eat with Bai Zhenzhen. You must practice sword arts together daily, and no matter what she does to you, you cannot resist. You must maintain this for three months!" As she finished speaking, the number "1000 spirit coins" appeared in Zhang Yu's eye sockets, as if with a single nod from him, the money would be transferred directly into his account.

Zhang Yu's heart sank, and he felt his resolve quickly waver. "1000 spirit coins, and three months with Ah Zhen... Isn't this just free money?" Voices in his mind repeatedly urged him to agree to the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions, which he barely managed to suppress with his reason.

"No, this is too strange!" he thought. "Not to mention whether Ten Thousand Laws University would approve my sudden three-month absence, or if my teachers would agree, who knows what the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions will do once I'm at Heavenly Sword? I cannot entrust my fate to her!" Especially as he recalled old stories about the Sword of Extreme Emotion that True Monarch Magnet had told him, and reports Director Gao had sent him about the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions' disciples, Zhang Yu gradually calmed down, using rational thought to suppress the impulse in his heart.

As if seeing through Zhang Yu's internal struggle and subsequent calm, the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions calmly remarked, "It seems you're reluctant to give up your achievements at Ten Thousand Laws!" She added, "Alright then, I can offer a different condition!"

As she spoke, streaks of light and shadow changed again within Zhang Yu's eye sockets, and a secret manual suddenly appeared! On the cover of the manual, four large characters were clearly written: "Sword of Extreme Emotion."

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions then said, "As long as you are willing to cultivate the Sword of Extreme Emotion and advance it to level 10 within three years, then even if you open a dual cultivation department at Ten Thousand Laws University, even if you invite the Divine Monarch of Qiongjiang to dual cultivate, or even if you include Bai Zhenzhen for a triple cultivation, I will not interfere with any of you!"

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned. Looking at the four characters "Sword of Extreme Emotion" on the manual's cover, his mind was flooded with information from reports about killing wives, dogs, parents, and entire families.

He thought to himself, "If I practice this manual, won't I become a psychopath too? Wouldn't that lead to ruin?" He corrected himself, "No, this isn't just ruin; it's about killing my own people!" Zhang Yu pondered, "With my abilities, if I really started killing indiscriminately... how many of the people I know could stop me?"

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions asked, "What's wrong? Are you unwilling?"

Zhang Yu slowly replied, "I don't have a license!" He continued, "I only have a Military Civil Engineering license right now. This license can't register the Sword of Extreme Emotion, can it?"

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions calmly said, "If you secretly cultivate my Sword of Extreme Emotion and no one reports you, what does it matter if you don't have a license? If you can cultivate it to level 10, I'll find a way to arrange a make-up exam for you to get one!"

Zhang Yu became even more reluctant. After all, the crime of unlicensed cultivation was too great for him to bear, and the Sword of Extreme Emotion seemed to carry a risk of losing control, with a significant chance of exposure during cultivation.

Just then, the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions snorted coldly, "You don't want this, you don't want that, always making excuses. You have no choice!" She commanded, "Receive the sword."

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned. The next moment, he saw the manual that had appeared in his eye sockets suddenly open. A page detailing the cultivation method for the Sword of Extreme Emotion rapidly flashed before him, instantly imprinting itself deep within his mind!

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions smiled, "I have already taught you the Sword of Extreme Emotion. With your martial arts aptitude, you will quickly learn its techniques. There's no escaping it; you are destined to walk this path! Just like human emotions, it will naturally take root and sprout in your heart, impossible to kill or extinguish! The Sword of Extreme Emotion is like these emotions; it will gradually grow and spread within you, and you cannot control it."

Zhang Yu checked his Quill Book, carefully examining the pages that recorded cultivation methods, but searched everywhere and found no record of the Sword of Extreme Emotion!

He wondered, "If what the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions said is true, and that was the secret manual for the Sword of Extreme Emotion, then I've already read it completely. Why isn't there a record of it? Could it be that..."

At the same time, the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions continued with a smile, "Zhang Yu, the world says my Sword of Extreme Emotion is an evil sword art, contrary to worldly ethics and intolerable to all! But only I know that my Sword of Extreme Emotion is the true righteous sword art; it's merely that Kunxu is obsessed!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Putting aside whether this Sword of Extreme Emotion is righteous or evil, judging by my Quill Book, this Sword of Extreme Emotion isn't complete, is it?" This wasn't the first time Zhang Yu had encountered a cultivation method not being recorded in his Quill Book after viewing it. Based on his years of using the Quill Book, the biggest reason this usually happened was that the cultivation method he saw was incomplete. "Is the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions' Sword of Extreme Emotion incomplete? Or did she deliberately pass on an incomplete version to me?"

Zhang Yu dared not voice his doubts. After all, he had no evidence to prove his point, and besides, if the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions had deliberately withheld the complete sword art, wouldn't exposing her just bring trouble upon himself?

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions continued, "Now that you have learned the Sword of Extreme Emotion, I will no longer sever Bai Zhenzhen's connection with you!" She added, "No, not only will I not sever it, but you must also speak with Bai Zhenzhen for at least half an hour every day, understood?"

Zhang Yu: "Huh?"

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions said, "If you fail to do it for one day, you'll get a warning. If you fail for three days in a month, I will expose your cultivation of the Sword of Extreme Emotion!" She continued, "Believe me, having 'cultivated the Sword of Extreme Emotion' on your resume is definitely not a good thing for many people, especially in the artifact forging world!" She added, "You wouldn't want your teacher, True Monarch Magnet, to know you're secretly cultivating the Sword of Extreme Emotion, would you?"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but inwardly grumble, "Damn it... you're using this to threaten me, and you still have the nerve to say the Sword of Extreme Emotion is a righteous path?"

The next moment, light and shadow flickered, and a scene featuring Bai Zhenzhen appeared! This time, it wasn't a recording, but a real-time image projected across the Spirit Realm!

Bai Zhenzhen, seeing Zhang Yu on the other side of the image, urgently asked, "Yu Zi, have you cultivated the Sword of Extreme Emotion?"

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions' light chuckle sounded, "He has finished learning. I have already passed the Sword of Extreme Emotion on to him!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Zhang Yu with a worried expression: "Yu Zi, is it true? You really learned it?"

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions chuckled, "I've reviewed Zhang Yu's information. With his martial arts talent, he has probably already mastered Level 1 of the Sword of Extreme Emotion by now!" She then asked, "Zhang Yu, how do you feel now? Is something gushing forth in your heart? Do you feel an impulse to rush to Heavenly Sword University? Are there some sword energies stirring within your body?"

Feeling Bai Zhenzhen's concerned gaze and hearing the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions' alluring words, Zhang Yu felt a bit embarrassed to admit that he hadn't actually cultivated the Sword of Extreme Emotion! Although various sword moves and forms had been flashing before him since earlier, Zhang Yu hadn't comprehended anything from them. After all, Zhang Yu had three rules for not cultivating: he wouldn't cultivate incomplete techniques, techniques that couldn't be viewed by his Quill Book, or techniques that couldn't switch his Quill Book's specialization. Cultivation methods like the Sword of Extreme Emotion were beneath him.

Bai Zhenzhen bit her cherry lips, unwilling to accept it, "Yu Zi, I've harmed you, leading you onto this evil path of Extreme Emotion!"

She then unleashed streaks of crimson sword energy around her, and sword light swirled in her eyes. "Don't worry, I will accelerate my cultivation of the Sword of Extreme Emotion, and then I will personally help you abolish your cultivation of it!" Remembering how Zhang Yu had previously risked great danger just to exchange Spirit Roots with her, Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and said, "From now on, let's not contact each other for a while. I'm afraid if you see me too often, your cultivation of the Sword of Extreme Emotion will advance too quickly..."

"No!" the Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions said coldly, "Not only must you not stop communicating, but you must also meet in the Spirit Realm every day!"

The Divine Monarch of Seven Emotions' wicked laughter echoed towards them. "Yes, not only must you meet, but I will also open a private space for both of you in the Spirit Realm so you can be intertwined every day, spending intimate moments together, becoming inseparable. I'll make sure you stick together like glue. Hahahaha..."
