Vol. 3 Chapter 88: Return of the King
“This Thunder Dragon Princess, why isn’t she satisfied after defeating one of us!”
“What did she just say? That Jiang Family Twin Physique is stronger than Ji Changge?” At the mont, the Thunder Dragon Princess’s comnt surprised even the academy teachers.
Though the Jiang siblings had perford decently at the academy, compared to Ji Changge, they still ca up short.
“Don’t forget, at the academy, they were in charge of the student group ‘Dragon Palace.’ They often carried out missions for the Demon-Slaying Bureau with the young master of the Demon-Slaying Gao Clan. You all should still rember who founded the Dragon Palace…” said the palace-robed elder.
“If they could earn Lin Jing’s trust, there’s no way they’re that simple. Maybe...” She was already beginning to suspect sothing.
“That Thunder Dragon Princess probably noticed sothing too.”
At this mont, the Jiang siblings stayed completely silent. They couldn’t understand how the Thunder Dragon Princess sensed the Ice Soul Lesser Gu inside them.
After all, Senior Pine had placed multiple seals on the Ice Soul Lesser Gu. As long as they didn’t reveal it on purpose, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Transformation cultivator wouldn’t notice.
In fact, back in the Ancient Kingdom, aside from Demon-Slaying Bureau missions, they had never publicly revealed their Ice Gu powers—so most people had no idea about their true strength.
Everything suggested that not even the academy’s Nascent Soul Elders or Nascent Soul teachers were aware of their Ice Gu abilities. But now this Peak Foundation Establishnt Thunder Dragon... had sensed it? Unbelievable.
“We can’t fight... even though we only have the Lesser Gu, once exposed, we could still be targeted by the Gu God Sect. Let’s just surrender.” Through their twin-body connection, Jiang Lin secretly transmitted to her brother.
They were both transported to Qingzhou, and like Lin Jing, they hadn’t dared to use the Ice Soul Gu since.
“You must’ve sensed wrong. My sister and I are nowhere near Senior Brother Ji’s level—we couldn’t possibly be your match,” Jiang Qi stepped forward, cupping his fists slightly, speaking with regret.
“It’s a sha we can’t give you the fight you want.”
“You’re lying!!!” The Thunder Dragon Princess was frustrated. She couldn’t really tell what made the siblings so strong, but if her hidden elder brother said they were, then it must be true.
“Co on, show your true strength. You’re twins, right? I’ll let you fight together. If you can beat , I’ll give you a drop of my scale blood.”
Thunder Dragon Scale Blood!
Upon hearing this, the observing academy powerhouses were shaken.
“Jiang Qi, Jiang Lin, if you’re confident, go ahead and fight. Thunder Dragon Scale Blood is one of the top ten body-refining treasures in the world. Even the lowest-grade scale blood would benefit you greatly…” the palace-robed elder transmitted to them.
Although she still didn’t believe the two could beat the Thunder Dragon Princess, the temptation of Thunder Dragon Scale Blood was just too great.
Even mbers of the royal family in the Ancient Kingdom probably didn’t get to temper their bodies with such blood. This princess probably assud no one could beat her, so she made that grand promise.
Hearing the elder’s voice, the Jiang siblings felt conflicted, unsure what to do.
“Apologies, your highness. The power you sensed was passed to us by a senior. Without his permission, we cannot use it,” Jiang Lin said, her heart stirred by the offer of scale blood, but she knew even if they used the Lesser Gu, even if the two of them fought together, they still wouldn’t be a match for the Thunder Dragon Princess.
Better to let it go.
“So annoying. What kind of power needs permission to use? Is the person you ntioned here? Let them give permission now,” the Thunder Dragon Princess was getting impatient. The more unwilling they were to fight, the more curious she beca.
She wasn’t letting today’s fight go.
“This senior of ours, he…” Jiang Qi just started to speak, when suddenly, a strange voice ca from the void, making him and Lin Jing widen their eyes.
“He’s not the one we spoke of. Thunder Dragon Princess, if we seven wish to fight him, that’s our own choice—he doesn’t need to beg.”
A spatial vortex condensed in the sky, and from it stepped a white-robed youth, staring straight at the Thunder Dragon Princess.
“You just said that if soone can defeat you, they’ll get a drop of your scale blood. Is that true? What if I fight you instead?”
His appearance stunned both Jiang Lin and Jiang Qi—and even many of the city’s experts couldn’t believe it.
L...Lin Jing?!
The academy students were all shocked when they saw the face of the newcor.
“Huh?” Even the Thunder Dragon Princess was confused. This so-called “senior” the siblings ntioned... was actually soone at the sa Peak Foundation Establishnt level as them?
“If you can beat , I’ll still give you the scale blood—” Before she finished her sentence, Lin Jing smiled.
Though the Thunder Dragon Clan had already promised him five bottles of different-quality Thunder Dragon Scale Blood, he wasn’t about to turn down more. Even if he didn’t need it himself, he could give it to others—or his pet beasts!
“Then I’ll show you the power you’re so curious about.”
Lin Jing raised his hand as if to casually grasp the Thunder Dragon Princess from afar. At first, she didn’t care. But in the next instant, a terrifying chill burst from Lin Jing’s palm.
In the sky above, the cold instantly ford a massive phantom towering into the clouds—a giant spider. Its body was hidden in icy clouds, its aura terrifying. In terms of bloodline, it was no weaker than the Thunder Dragon Princess.
In just a blink, the Thunder Dragon Princess’s pupils contracted. She felt a mortal threat. Even the lightning arcing around her body froze completely.
Though they were on the sa cultivation level, in this mont, the Thunder Dragon Princess felt an imnse gap in strength—as if they weren’t even in the sa dinsion.
“Who... are you...”
“Brother...”
Realizing this young man could “one-shot” her, her first instinct was to call her brother.
But even as her whole body was frozen, her elder brother—who’d been secretly guarding her—did not act.
Because at that mont, the Thunder Dragon Prince clearly sensed who had just transported Lin Jing here.
“Ancestor…”
“This person…” In the void, the Thunder Dragon Prince looked at Lin Jing. The power of the Gu insect… that was one of the Ten Rare Gu—Ice Soul Gu.
But beyond that, there was a terrifying illusionary pressure that made even his bloodline tremble.
This was the Longevity Body Lin Jing—the sa one who’d wreaked havoc on the Sky Lion Clan!
How was he transported here by their Ancestor?!
Right then, Lin Jing had used the Ice Soul Gu’s power to instantly freeze the Thunder Dragon Princess, leaving the gathered academy geniuses speechless.
Even Ji Changge, who had just been swatted away, stared at Lin Jing’s silhouette in the sky, suddenly understanding what it ant to be the “forr No. 1 on the Genius Rankings.”
“Never thought...” And at that mont, Lin Jing—appearing in person over the city and beating the Thunder Dragon Princess in a high-profile move—smiled at the Jiang siblings.
“Didn’t expect to see you two got sent to Qingzhou too…”
“Senior Lin, you... why are you…” The twins were stunned. How could Lin Jing dare show up like this? Didn’t he know he was still being hunted by every major faction?
Even with the academy’s Vice Dean in Qingzhou, Lin Jing’s situation was extrely dangerous!
Not even a Void Mystical cultivator could fully protect Lin Jing here!
“Why am I here?” Lin Jing rubbed his chin and made sothing up, “Well, isn’t the Tongtian Tower’s Alchemy Conference starting? I just happened to refine a pretty good pill lately, so I wanted to join.
“I heard that during the conference, Tongtian Tower guarantees the safety of participating alchemists, right? Causing trouble during the conference would be disrespecting them...”
