Chapter 22

"Two suns spanning the sky, it is a time of intense fiery yang energy, never did I think I would have such an opportunity today!"

Yuan Zhisshi let out a long whistle, his expression filled with extreme joy, clearly benefiting greatly within the short half-hour of the dual suns spanning the sky.

From Yuan Zhisshi's words, it could be heard that even in the Two Realms Battlefield, such a phenomenon as dual suns spanning the sky was extremely rare.

However, when Yuan Zhisshi said this, those students who could only watch the opportunity slip away, especially Tian Mengzi and Jin Guanchao, the two upper dormitory students, felt even worse.

Shang Xia's excitement was understandable, as he was still a junior in their eyes.

But you, Yuan Zhisshi, who hold a position akin to a college instructor, a senior figure, how could you also be so excited?

Do you have no sense of dignity as a teacher?

In fact, the ones who benefited the most from this rare celestial phenomenon were not Shang Xia and Yuan Zilu, but the two inner dormitory students of the College Guard.

One of them practiced the extremes of heat and cold, while the other practiced the paths of water and fire, both originally at the initial stage of the Martial Extreme Realm.

But within this short half-hour, the two had almost perfected their cultivation of fiery yang energy, and were about to advance to the second layer of the Martial Extreme Realm.

The other students who could cultivate under the dual suns also shared in the opportunity to varying degrees.

As for those outer dormitory students who had yet to step into the Extraordinary Martial Realm, they could not even perceive the fiery yang energy, let alone benefit from it.

The convoy set off again, and Shang Xia asked Tian Mengzi about the phenomenon of the dual suns.

Tian Mengzi's explanation did not surprise Shang Xia.

"Every place in the Two Realms Battlefield undergoes chaotic changes, so no one knows what will happen in a certain place at the next moment."

Tian Mengzi laid this foundation first, then guessed, "As for the dual suns spanning the sky, one is naturally from our world, and the other is from the outer domain, the Cangling Realm."

"Due to the barrier and distortion of the Two Realms Battlefield, there is rarely sunlight here, and even if it appears in one place, it might still be night in another. Or the sunlight in one place might come from the Cangling Realm, while in another place, it might be our world's sun hanging in the sky."

Shang Xia nodded in understanding and said, "So, the two suns from different realms appearing in the same area of the Two Realms Battlefield is indeed a rare occurrence!"

Tian Mengzi smiled and said, "That's why it's a rare opportunity!"

"According to my knowledge, in the nearly twenty years since the Two Realms Battlefield was formed, the number of times the dual suns spanning the sky has been witnessed does not exceed ten."

"Of course, the actual number is likely higher, at least we don't know how many times the Cangling Realm has recorded such an event."

Shang Xia took the opportunity to ask, "Senior Tian, since the Two Realms Battlefield can have such a celestial phenomenon of intense fiery yang energy, could there also be a phenomenon of dual moons hanging in the sky?"

"Of course there is!"

Tian Mengzi said matter-of-factly, then added with a sigh, "Unfortunately, I have only heard of it but never seen it. In fact, this is the first time I have encountered the dual suns spanning the sky."

Shang Xia thought for a moment and asked, "What about dual suns and dual moons in the sky?"

Tian Mengzi looked at him strangely and said irritably, "Do you think such a bizarre celestial phenomenon is possible? Even if it exists, how likely is it, and how many people have encountered it?"

Shang Xia smiled awkwardly, realizing he had been too presumptuous.

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly interjected, "Dual suns and dual moons are too fanciful, but the phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together does exist."

Shang Xia then realized that Jin Guanchao had been listening to their conversation all along.

Shang Xia, ignoring his surprise, quickly asked, "Sun and moon shining together? Does that mean the sun and moon appear in the sky at the same time, or..."

Jin Guanchao clearly understood Shang Xia's meaning and said, "Directly in the sky!"

Shang Xia let out a sigh of relief.

The phenomenon of "sun and moon shining together" is not rare, but in most cases, one is rising while the other is setting, or one is in the east while the other is in the west.

Though they are in the same sky, it is impossible for the sun and moon to be directly in the sky at the same time.

However, in the Two Realms Battlefield, a strange and distorted space, such a phenomenon that is impossible in the normal world might occur.

Shang Xia quickly asked, "Then, Senior Jin, are there any signs before such a celestial phenomenon occurs?"

Shang Xia himself understood that such a bizarre phenomenon is often unpredictable, and even Jin Guanchao might not know, but he had to ask.

Sure enough, Jin Guanchao shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

However, before Shang Xia could show disappointment, Jin Guanchao suddenly added, "But, it is accompanied by a small-scale surge of elemental tides."

This unexpected turn surprised not only Shang Xia but also Tian Mengzi, who clearly did not know that his close friend had such knowledge.

Although Jin Guanchao's words were not a sign before the phenomenon, even if the surge of elemental tides was discovered, it might not be in time to reach the location of the phenomenon, but it was better than Shang Xia's aimless search for opportunities.

Since being guided by Zhang Haogu, Shang Xia had been thinking about what "light and ethereal energy" and "turbid and yin energy" referred to.

If it were in the past, Shang Xia would have been completely baffled.

Even Zhang Haogu, known for his extensive knowledge at the College of the Netherworld, only had a partial understanding, and Shang Xia knew even less.

However, with the memories of two lifetimes, Shang Xia was different. After encountering the bizarre phenomenon of the dual suns spanning the sky and integrating his knowledge of traditional culture from his previous life, Shang Xia suddenly felt he had grasped something...

The convoy continued to move forward, and Shang Xia fell into deep thought until a noisy bird call woke him up.

"What's happening?"

Shang Xia looked at the mutated rain swallow in the cage, which was unusually agitated, and asked Huang Zihua.

Huang Zihua shook his head and said, "It was fine just now, but suddenly it became like this. Is it going to commit suicide?"

Shang Xia frowned and looked at the mutated rain swallow in the cage again, seeing it jumping around in the small space, flapping its wings, but being blocked by the cage walls, only able to emit agitated chirps.

"It wants to leave the cage..."

The commotion of the mutated rain swallow quickly drew the attention of others, and Tian Mengzi soon came over.

Shang Xia could sense that this upper dormitory senior had an unusual concern for the mutated rain swallow in the cage.

"Could it be that this living mutated rain swallow really has some extraordinary value?"

Shang Xia thought to himself, but he approached the cage to observe the sudden change of the mutated rain swallow up close.

Just then, a warning from Yuan Zhisshi came from the front of the convoy: "Be careful, something is coming!"

Before Shang Xia and the others could prepare, almost as soon as Yuan Zhisshi finished speaking, a silver light shot towards the convoy from the sky, entering the alert zone with lightning speed.

Even the leading Yuan Zhisshi did not have time to intercept it, and the silver light, like a bolt of lightning, flew over his head.

"What is it?"

Amidst the cries of alarm, palm winds, fist forces, blade lights, and whip shadows rose from the convoy, trying to intercept the reckless silver light.

However, the silver light was incredibly fast. By the time each Extraordinary student used their best techniques to strike where they saw the silver light, it had already flown far away.

Even at such high speed, the silver light managed to dodge skillfully, passing through half of the convoy unscathed.

"Bang—Crash..."

As the silver light passed a carriage, its body suddenly descended, darting out from the right side of the carriage, creating a spray of silver sparks.

The sturdy walls of the brocade cloud carriage, made by the artisans of the College of the Netherworld's Hundred Arts Pavilion, were instantly cut, and the spatial runes on it immediately collapsed. The entire brocade cloud carriage exploded, and the materials inside, eight times the volume of the carriage, were scattered on the ground, blocking the convoy's path.

Some of the fragile items were shattered, and it was unknown how many were completely destroyed.

However, at this moment, no one had time to care about the losses.

The silver light continued to fly, about to reach the tail of the convoy.

There, besides the two upper dormitory students and Shang Xia, the rest were students of the Bing House who had yet to become Extraordinary Martial Artists.

"It's coming for us, Old Jin..."

As Tian Mengzi's voice sounded, two figures moved in unison to intercept the silver light.

This time, Shang Xia finally had the chance to see the true abilities of the two upper dormitory seniors.

Tian Mengzi was the first to act, his left palm lightly pushing forward, appearing soft and weak; his right palm followed slowly, appearing heavy and laborious, giving a sense of weight.

However, the two completely opposite and extremely uncoordinated palm winds formed a twisted elemental vortex in front of Tian Mengzi.

One was light and ethereal, the other heavy and solid. Could Tian Mengzi's Martial Extreme Realm cultivation be based on the extremes of light and heavy?

As this thought flashed through Shang Xia's mind, he saw the incoming silver light, upon entering the vortex of Tian Mengzi's palm winds, waver for a moment, and its flight path was finally affected!

At this moment, Jin Guanchao punched into the air, his fist wind entering Tian Mengzi's elemental vortex, like pouring a pot of paste into clear water, making the originally twisted elemental vortex become sticky.

This not only affected the flight path of the silver light but also significantly slowed its speed.

However, before Shang Xia and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, a cold and high-pitched chirp sounded, and the silver light, which had been delayed in the elemental vortex, suddenly burst into a large flash of silver lightning, tearing through the restraining field formed by the two upper dormitory students, and broke free from between them.
