383 ETING THE THUNDER CHILD-“We have a very interesting opponent here. He didn’t even flinch when I berated him in front of his entire group. This kind of restraint is rare in people, and it scares . If he can restrain his thoughts to this level, his patience is comndable. That is a virtue which scares the most.” Li ng said.
“You shouldn’t judge soone from the get-go. What if he is a good person at heart?” The Keeper said.
“There are no eternal friendships in this world, only eternal profit. Do you know what this ans? It ans there is no real good guy in the world. The only difference in the character of the two people is what profits motivate their actions. In this case, I am pretty sure the guy will show his cards soon enough.”
“What if he can restrain himself even further?” The Keeper asked.
“Patience is the virtue of three kinds of people. The wise, the sinister, and the wimps. It would be fun if he is one of the first two categories. If the third persist in this case, I will eliminate this scourge even if it enlists the rage of his master and clan and I have to go into hiding.” Li ng said.
“What do you think about this guy?” Li ng asked the Keeper to give an initial impression of his opponent.
“The boy carries a defensive treasure of monarch grade. I think you understand the significance of his background.” The keeper said. Even Li ng didn’t have many Monarch-level artifacts with him. “The artifact is capable enough of masking a lot of things about him.”
“So you need a physical connection with him to verify?” Li ng asked.
” That would be the best ans to identify.” The Keeper said.
.....
“Wouldn’t the artifact notice it? All artifacts above the monarch grade have so sort of consciousness in them.” Li ng asked.
“Although I am currently at the peak of Monarch grade, the actual level of this artifact is not sothing you could imagine as of now. I go on to say that the consciousness of this artifact greatly surpasses a monarch-grade artifact. It is one of the reasons why you are still able to converse with even after being in the presence of Qi Monarchs. They are not qualified enough to even sense our presence when we are static.”
“Good. Because I think we will eventually make quite so contact in this conversation.”
.............
” What resulted in gaining the attention of the mighty Thunder Child?” Li ng asked in a sarcastic tone.
“No need to be on guard. We are still within the limits of the institute and hence I am incapable of doing anything for you, if I wanted to that is. This is just a courteous eting between two genius students of the sa academy. I would like to converse with my future opponent. It helps pry into their ability. I hope you don’t mind having a small talk with your senior brother.”
“I have to say, I am impressed with your attitude towards . There isn’t a single shred of hostility coming out of you that I can detect. That is quite an accomplishnt.” Li ng said.
“Why would I be hostile towards soone whom I have t for the first ti?” Thunder child said.
“Well, we all have our reasons and abilities. Yours is an unnatural ability to mask your true nature. It will be fun to confront an enemy who could almost match my level of intelligence and restrain.” Li ng said.
” I suppose the initial conversations led this whole eting into disarray. I hope we can restart from the beginning. I am ng Shi.” Thunder child lifted arms to hand over a small glass of wine to LI ng.
“I am Li ng.” Li ng followed his suit to carefully grab the glass while touching his hands and allowing the Keeper to scan the target. ng Shi felt sothing different about the situation but decided to ignore his paranoia.
.............
” The boy is quite perceptive. he could sense sothing different about the situation. You need to be careful around him.” The Keeper said.
“I assu you have so results for .” Li ng said.
“I do have sothing for you. The boy is extrely talented. I have to say that he is one of the best candidates I have co across since your little sister a while back. You would be impressed to know that he had managed to connect with Three heavenly laws.”
“So the news about him was fake.”
“Being able to deceive so many eyes is quite a feat. The Three Heavenly laws also seem to be quite versatile. His first heavenly law was thunder. The second one is Gold-barbarian law, a body type. The last one is sothing I didn’t expect to see. It is the law of life. It is a very powerful compound law, and even better than Yin-yang.”
“His law body is refined with extrely powerful treasures of all attributes, and he seems to be involved in body cultivation too. He has managed to open up all his ridians and is currently in the acupoint stage. He has also co across so sort of powerful inheritance. There is imnse power locked within his body. The lock is quite deceptive, and one might think it is so kind of faulty leeching formation, but it seems to be slowly providing his body with energy.”
“If it is completely absorbed, he should be able to promote himself to the interdiate stages of Qi Monarch.”
“His body is above King grade and is constantly being tempered by the hidden power. It seems they are of the sa bloodline. His bloodline is also being refined by energy and is way stronger than the other two.”
“What is his cultivation level?” Li ng asked.
“Advanced stage Qi Emperor. He might be able to reach the 8th level before the Royal Road competition.” The Keeper said.
“That is concerning. I guess I will have to tread lightly until I am officially a Qi Emperor.” Li ng decided to be cautious.
.......................
” I have invited my brother to ask for your assistance.” ng Shi spoke.
“Why would soone as powerful as you require my assistance?” Li ng said.
“I know of your mystery and have managed to dig up so information about your background. I know about Jiao country and your martial brothers. I am also aware of their potential and their current locations. I would like to beco friends with soone of your ans. To have six geniuses like you, the force you originated from must be a powerful one.”
“I don’t want us to be enemies. I would like your cooperation in making the next headmaster of this institute.” Thunder child spoke.
“You spoke with such confidence as if my senior brothers are not even worthy to be your competitions.”
“And I am correct. The only one I am worried about is you. You are soone with incredible talent who wouldn’t be bound by Thunder Academy in the future. Why not give the academy to .” ng Shi’sw words made Li ng smile.
“What is in it for ?” Li ng asked.
“A future where you would be alive.” ng Shi spoke in a clam tone.” And a portion of treasure from the academy in case you can live up to your talents.”
“Your ability to transition from smooth talk to threats is quite comndable. I expect you have learned from soone capable. Also, I am not the opponent you should be worried about. Worry about my older brothers for now.” Li ng said.
“Does that an you are out of my way?” ng Shi said.
“It ans I am not interested in you anymore. As long as you don’t stand in my path, I won’t hinder yours. ” Li ng said.
” What if our paths coincide in the future?” ng Shi asked.
“We will see at that point if your power can live up to your confidence.” Li ng Drained the entire cup in one gulp and got up to leave. To his surprise though, ng Shi didn’t stop him.
Li ng returned to his mansion.
................
“What is your impression of him?” A voice asked ng Shi.
“He is quite a dangerous character. He is sure to beco a threat on our side in the future.” ng Shi said.
“Why did we let him go?” The voice said.
“This is within the limits of Thunder Academy. His master is far more powerful than mine, and he was watching the entire conversation between us. Not to ntion there is an even stronger entity resting within these borders. How exactly do you expect to kill him?” ng Shi asked.
“Well, we have to do sothing. We can’t let this boy hinder our future plans. You do know what is expected of you right?” The voice said.
“I have already done it. We just need to wait for the right ti.” ng Shi said with a sinister smile. he had played his card well. It was only a matter of ti before the results would show themselves.
