Chapter 389 Never Let Heroes Grow Old

Fang Biao Zhi stepped forward to examine him.

He found that Ji Pingyang's injuries hadn't recovered at all. He didn't know what power the old president was relying on to sit up. It was truly unbelievable.

Was this the legendary "startled awake by illness when death is near"? Fang Biao Zhi felt that it was more bizarre than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

After Ji Pingyang sat up, he no longer resisted the life force flowing from Mo Qingchou.

As the life force slowly entered, the injuries on Ji Pingyang's body gradually improved.

At the same time, a wisp of black shadow stumbled into Kyoto.

A closer look would reveal that inside the black shadow was a black puppet!

"Damn it! This puppet is about to fall apart! I won't make it back to the Tang family!"

Despair filled Tang Wumou's eyes, and his heart was filled with frustration.

He was doing well with his possession when Bai Shiyan suddenly jumped out and shattered him with a single punch. He couldn't have been more unlucky.

Fortunately, he could now use the power of the Otherworld in the real world. Tang Wumou attached his memories and consciousness to a shadow puppet and escaped.

This was his last trump card to save his life. He had also left a backup candidate in the Tang family's underground chamber.

This old fox always did things meticulously, but now it seemed he wouldn't make it back to the Tang family.

This shadow puppet was about to dissipate, and once it did, his memories and consciousness would also dissipate into the world.

"No! I can't die! I don't want to die!" Panic filled Tang Wumou's heart.

The older one got, the more afraid of death one became. Although Tang Wumou's strength wasn't the strongest, he was probably the most afraid of death on Kaiji Star.

He had to find a way to save himself. Soon, Tang Wumou discovered a young man lying down.

The man was lying in bed, his eyes open, but without a trace of vitality.

Tang Wumou was instantly overjoyed!

Clearly, this man was in a vegetative state! Nothing was more suitable for possession than a person in a vegetative state, after all, their consciousness was already dead.

In this life-or-death moment, Tang Wumou didn't have time to identify the man's identity. He controlled the shadow puppet and crashed into the man.

Finally, an instant before the shadow puppet dissipated, he rushed into the man's body.

The next second, the man's eyes instantly lit up with brilliance, like two stars.

"Indeed, heaven never seals off all exits! At this critical moment, I actually stumbled upon a young master from a powerful family, and he's even in a vegetative state!"

"Hehe... Qiao Yu! Just wait, your body will be mine sooner or later!"



On the other side, Qiao Yu was also a little puzzled as he looked at the notification that had just popped up in the Otherworld.

[Ding! Detecting that your adoptive father has obtained a new body, the player can once again launch a fatal blow against your adoptive father.]

What did it mean that his adoptive father had obtained a new body? Could it be that the old bastard Tang Wumou wasn't dead yet?

Impossible, he had personally seen Tang Wumou blasted into dust by Bai Shiyan's punch. Even his ashes had been scattered. Could he still be alive?

Qiao Yu scratched his head, unable to figure out what had happened for a moment.

The group quickly returned to Kyoto University.

Shen Jianshu's face showed a look of surprise.

"Ji Pingyang is indeed lucky! His aura is still there!"

Then Shen Jianshu hurried in one direction, with Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi close behind.

But the more they walked, the more they felt that something was wrong, because this direction was toward their dormitory... Had Principal Ji run to their dormitory?

When they arrived, they discovered that Ji Pingyang hadn't gone to the dormitory building, but was staying in the dormitory management room.

Also in the dormitory management room was the unconscious dormitory aunt, Mo Qingchou.

The moment Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi saw Ji Pingyang, they were both shocked.

Although Ji Pingyang was nearly fifty years old, he didn't show much aging. At most, his temples were a little gray, and his body was as straight as a drawn sword.

But now, Ji Pingyang was slightly hunched, his hair was thinning, and it was silver-white.

Even more unacceptable was that Ji Pingyang's right sleeve was empty, and he no longer possessed the aura of a Saint-level powerhouse.

At this moment, Ji Pingyang looked even older than Shen Jianshu, who was more than a decade older than him. He was completely like a senile, one-armed old man.

"Principal Ji..." Qiao Yu's voice was a little choked up. He felt that he was a sinner.

Since ancient times, beauties lamented their fading looks, and heroes were not allowed to see their white hair.

The once high-spirited number one sword cultivator in the Otherworld had actually become like this.

"Silly child, what's there to be sad about?" Ji Pingyang shook his head with a smile. "I'm already very fortunate to be alive."

Ji Pingyang felt some lingering fear when he thought about it now. He was besieged by a full eleven Saint-level experts. He was able to survive entirely because of luck.

Even more terrifying was that such a terrifying organization like Bai Ze had quietly appeared within the borders of the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom, and they hadn't received any information about it beforehand.

This was enough to show how outstanding Bai Ze's intelligence and concealment abilities were.

Shen Jianshu also frowned and reached out a hand to press on Ji Pingyang's body. Then his frown deepened.

Because Ji Pingyang's body didn't have the aura of any power, just like an ordinary old man.

"Don't waste your energy, Lao Shen. The right hand that held the sword is gone, and the Kunwu Sword has also become a broken sword. I'm already a cripple."

Ji Pingyang smiled freely, as if he really didn't care at all.

"By the way, why didn't Ma Fei come back with you?"

Qiao Yu and Yang Xiangdi looked at each other. Then Qiao Yu took a deep breath and stepped forward to explain the whole story to Ji Pingyang again.

Ji Pingyang frowned, obviously not expecting such a change.

"Ma Fei is a good kid in every way, and he's not a bad person at heart, but he has too much self-esteem, which also leads to him easily getting hung up on things."

"I'll try to contact him and help you tell him the truth, but whether he can forgive you..."

Ji Pingyang didn't continue speaking. After all, Ma Benwei was really dead, and even the Eternal Balance couldn't bring Ma Benwei back to life.

The Eternal Balance's limitations on exchanging lives were actually many. It wasn't omnipotent. For example, besides both parties being willing, it also had to be done while the person was still "warm."

In other words, it had to be someone who had just died.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between Qiao Yu and Ma Fei could indeed be called the hatred of killing a father.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Then Shen Jianshu couldn't help but ask Ji Pingyang.

"Ma Fei's matter can't be resolved in a short time. Let's talk about you first. What are your plans for the future?"

"Me?" Ji Pingyang smiled.

"I've already told Old Song that I will resign from the position of president of Kyoto University and find a place to grow vegetables, raise flowers, and enjoy my retirement."

Ji Pingyang flicked his empty right sleeve.

"After all, I no longer have the ability to protect the children of Kyoto University. It's not appropriate to occupy a latrine without shitting. Lao Shen, I may have to rely on you for the future of Kyoto University."

Shen Jianshu sighed upon hearing this. He had expected this result.

But fortunately, Ji Pingyang was still alive. At least it wasn't the worst possible outcome.

Early the next morning, Ji Pingyang quietly disappeared from Kyoto University.

There was no grand farewell ceremony, nor was anyone informed.

This old president, who had dedicated most of his life to Kyoto University and the Great Xia Ancient Kingdom, left in obscurity. No one knew where he had gone.

The only trace of Ji Pingyang's departure was probably the notification issued by the Kyoto University official, announcing that Shen Jianshu would take over as the president of Kyoto University.

Apart from Qiao Yu and the others involved, everyone else at Kyoto University was dumbfounded, completely unaware of what had happened.

Wan Lihao even angrily smashed the door of the president's office with a punch, scaring the old Professor Shen, who was drinking tea, almost to death.

Wan Lihao's transformation from a battle-addicted war maniac into a teacher at Kyoto University was inextricably linked to Ji Pingyang. It could be said that Ji Pingyang was the person who changed Wan Lihao's life.

He naturally couldn't accept Ji Pingyang's departure. After learning the truth from Shen Jianshu and learning about the battle in Su City, Wan Lihao became a bit gloomy, like a pressure cooker about to explode on a bus.

"Hammer King, Sword King, Wood King, Bai Shiyan, Divine Mountain Elder... Saint-level, huh? It's not like Saint-level can't be killed!" Wan Lihao murmured, then punched a hole in the wall and walked out.

A terrifying fighting intent rose from Wan Lihao's body, announcing the return of the former war maniac.

Shen Jianshu, who was on the side, looked at the wall and door that had been smashed by Wan Lihao, wanting to cry but having no tears. Ji Pingyang had slipped away quickly, leaving a pile of messes for him to clean up.

Fortunately, Old Professor Shen also knew how to be a good capitalist. Soon, more than a dozen small skeletons crawled out from the ground to repair the broken wall and door.

But what Shen Jianshu didn't know was that the real trouble was still to come... There was someone at Kyoto University who cared about Ji Pingyang even more than Wan Lihao.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

The students of Kyoto University were all studying and working hard.

"Ah!!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar rang out from downstairs in the men's dormitory! This terrifying roar made the entire Kyoto University tremble.

Immediately afterward, an extremely terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire Kyoto University! Making everyone feel a bit breathless!

The people in the school looked at each other, their faces full of fear. What was going on? Were aliens invading the men's dormitory building?

Then they heard an angry scolding from a woman coming from the men's dormitory.

"Ji Pingyang, you old bastard! You scumbag! I risked my life to save you! You actually ran away while I was unconscious! Just you wait! I'll turn the entire Kaiji Star upside down to find you!"
