Zhang Yang had just come out from studying formation techniques at Biyun Peak when he ran into Situ Mingyue.

"Senior Brother, I've reached the Nascent Soul Stage," Situ Mingyue announced her cultivation level before saying, "I want to go to the Tianjiao Battlefield to help you!"

"Help me?!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but raise his voice, eyeing Situ Mingyue up and down. "What can you help me with? How do you think you can help me? A mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, just entering the stage, is simply a burden!

Without a spirit-grade tool, you're just a plain Nascent Soul with no combat experience. Any Nascent Soul cultivator could take you down, and then I'd have to go out of my way to save you.
