Chapters [279-280]

Chapter 279. Why Are You So Familiar With It?

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

Lu Ze, who just finished cultivating, naturally didn't know that the outside world was aware of their entry to the dao enlightenment room. When he saw how the four people were looking at him and Lin Ling with a stunned expression, he felt a bit embarrassed.

Why were these guys staring at him like this?

However, the dao enlightenment room can't be vacant. Nangong Jing said so previously when they first came in. The system even reminded him when the time was used up, so this matter should be quite important.

He then smiled at the strangers. "The next two can go in, don't leave the dao enlightenment room empty." Since he was not sure whether it was their first time and he had already spent an entire month in the room, Lu Ze felt like he had the obligation to teach these noobs.

Hearing this, the four came back to their senses. The two students smiled at Lu Ze and Lin Ling and walked in.

The remaining two elders waited for the next ones and glanced at Lu Ze and Lin Ling from time to time. At this moment, Lin Ling smiled at Lu Ze. "Ze, let's spar when we get back!"

Her tone was quite confident. Clearly, she was very happy with her progress.

Lu Ze raised a brow and joked. "You're not scared of losing?"

"Hmph! You might not win." Lin Ling rolled her eyes.

This guy was always this confident. With her progress, she should not lose to him, right?? Lin Ling held on to this belief.

After all, she had received the sage's origin power. She even progressed very fast. In a month, her spirit force cultivation level reached 100 Apertures. With the [God Art] she learned and the [Linxi Treasure Manual Divine Art], she improved even more.

More importantly, her [Spirit Eye God Art] was very useful in the dao enlightenment room. Perhaps, other people could only vaguely sense the laws in the dao enlightenment room, but she can see it clearly as her [God Art] grows. She even learned [Strength God Art] from the dao enlightenment room.

This was definitely a surprise for her!

Now, her combat power definitely wouldn't be lower than 300 Apertures!

She used her [Spirit Eye] to check on Lu Ze's progress. She had discovered that his spirit force cultivation level was far weaker than her. His body was stronger than hers, but with [God Art and Divine Art], she became confident!

Thinking about how Lu Ze beat her every time and having the opportunity to beat Lu Ze this time, she grinned. Finally, she would be able to get back at him.

Seeing her expression, Lu Ze became speechless. "Stop smiling like an idiot. If you want to fight, of course, I won't' mind. Just don't cry if you lose."

"You will be the one crying!" Lin Ling glared at him when she heard the words. She hadn't cried for so long, and she wouldn't cry in the future.

At this moment, two more doors opened. Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha walked out.

They seem very spirited and had a smile pasted on their faces. Clearly, they benefited hugely too.

Seeing Lu Ze and Lin Ling outside, they walked over.

Nangong Jing grinned. "How do you feel?"

Lu Ze nodded. "Not bad." On the other hand, Lin Ling also nodded. "I've benefitted a lot."

Qiuyue Hesha smiled. "Then, let's go out first. We'll go pick up Yingying. I haven't seen her for a month. I miss that little girl." The three looked strangely at Qiuyue Hesha.

They couldn't tell at all that she liked kids. But indeed, they haven't seen her for a month. They wondered how she was at old man Nangong's place.

The four started walking out.

They came to the city gates again.

The guard has changed. It wasn't Luo Bingqing anymore but a skinny brown-haired youth.

Seeing them, the youth's eyes lit up. "Nangong, I heard old Luo say that you guys actually got a month in the dao enlightenment room! What mission did you complete? This reward is too big. I'm so envious. How is it?"

Lu Ze's mouth twitched. This guy was probably a young duke, but he was very garrulous.

Nangong Jing smiled. "Not bad, next year at the Four-race social gathering, I'll protect you all!"

The youth said happily, "That's good, I can relax a little then."

He looked at Qiuyue Hesha, and his mouth twitched. He didn't say anything.

Then, he looked at Lu Ze and Lin Ling. Just when he was planning to speak, Qiuyue Hesha interrupted. "Derrick, focus on guarding the city gates. We won't' disturb you."

Then, she walked outside.

Seeing this, Nangong Jing smiled at the Derrick who felt awkward. "Then, we'll be going." Subsequently, she motioned to Lu Ze and Lin Ling to follow. The two quickly followed.

On the ship, Lu Ze asked curiously, "Is that Derrick a young duke too?"

Nangong Jing smiled. "Yes, he's not bad, but he is a little weaker than us."

Then, she said, "That Derrick is a suitor of the pink-haired fox."

Lu Ze and Lin Ling became dazed at her words. No wonder Qiuyue Hesha reacted that strangely.

So he liked Qiuyue Hesha?

Lu Ze glanced at the calm-faced Qiuyue Hesha. She was indeed pretty. Her temperament was very seductive. Probably, all men liked her type.

Qiuyue Hesha sat lazily on the couch and stretched. "I'm so pretty, isn't it normal for people to like me?" Lu Ze: "…"

Lin Ling: "…"

Nangong Jing: "…"

That was true, but saying it like that by yourself would make you seem narcissistic!

Lu Ze just remembered that her home was full of her posters.

Did she love herself?

The atmosphere became strange.

Luckily, going back to old man Nangong's shack only took a few minutes.

The four got off outside the shack.

Then, they saw the old man Nangong and Yingying sitting by the river. Old man Nangong had a big fishing rod while Yingying had a small fishing rod. Both their faces were exactly the same. They all looked hopefully at the line.

Lu Ze and the other three: "…"

Seeing their synchronized faces, the four felt it was funny.

However, they didn't expect Yingying would patiently fish.

Thinking about it, Yingying was indeed quiet and didn't have much expression.

She could patiently watch cartoons for an entire day.

Now, she seemed to have an extra hobby.

The four didn't disturb the two and just watched silently. Moments later, Yingying's eyes flashed and she lifted her rod. A huge splashed could be heard, and then, a four-meter long hideous looking fish flew out.

Yingying was only one meter tall and used a small rod to fish out such a huge fish. This made the four wear a stunned expression.

At this moment, Yingying looked at the fish and pulled old man Nangong. Her voice was slightly excited. "Grandpa, I caught a small fish!"

Small… fish?

The four were speechless.

The fish slowly landed from the air, and old man Nangong said joyfully, "Yingying is really amazing, grandpa will cook this fish for you." The old man didn't do anything, and the fish suddenly stopped moving and died. Following this, the fish landed in front of the old man, and then, he patted the fish. All the scales and tales were wiped away.

Lu Ze and Lin Ling's eyes widened. What was this?They didn't feel any power. It was just a casual pat, and it had such an effect?

Under Yingying's hopeful eyes, old man Nangong soon cleaned up the fish and took out a huge roasting rack and sets of spices. Seeing old man Nangong attentively roast the fish, their mouth twitched.

Why were you so familiar with it?

At this moment, old man Nangong said, "Your cultivation has finished? It seems your progress is quite good. Not bad."

The four smiled.

The old man continued, "If you want to eat roasted fish, go fish yourself. This one is for Yingying." Their smiles stiffened.

It had only been a month, and this old man spoiled Yingying so much.

At this moment, the old man said, "Oh yeah, get me a fish too."

\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//

Chapter 280 4328th Duel, Draw

//~~~~/~~~~/~~~~//\\~~~~\~~~~\~~~~\\

In the end, the four fished and roasted fish together.

Nangong Jing looked at old man Nangong and Yingying happily eating the fish.

"Old man, did you gain any benefit during this period with Yingying?"

If the old man's power could improve, his life should improve too. That would be very meaningful.

Everyone looked hopefully at the old man.

The old man shook his head. "No, I did not gain anything. Yingying seemed to have just been born. She hasn't accepted her race's heritage. She doesn't even know how to use her own power. I can't see it too."

Hearing this, the four people were a little disappointed.

They were hoping that Yingying could teach the old man. Now, this didn't seem so plausible.

Old man Nangong smiled. "Don't worry too much. Perhaps, Yingying would accept the heritage at some time in the future. There are still two thousand years remaining."

Lu Ze smiled. "That's right, there's still a long time."

After eating, the four planned to take Yingying back.

Old man Nangong had his own things to do.

Yingying waved at old man Nangong before she left. "Grandpa, I'll come back to play next time!"

Old man Nangong smiled. "If Yingying comes, grandpa will roast fish for you."

The four laughed. These two really did seem like a pair of grandpa and granddaughter. Yingying looked back at the river. She had fished a lot from there in the past month. She knows there are a lot of good things inside, and now, she was about to leave. "Old man, we'll be going first." Nangong Jing smiled.

Old man Nangong nodded. "Mhm, don't let your cultivation drop."

Everyone nodded and got on the ship that took off to the planet Venus.

…

On the flying ship, Nangong Jing carried Yingying and grinned. "Yingying is so good, this is the first time in six years that the old man didn't urge me to get married. I have made up my mind! Every time I see the old man now, I will bring Yingying!"

It was unbelievable that the old man didn't mention he wanted to carry her child.

Seeing this, Lu Ze and Lin Ling smiled. She was beyond hope. Qiuyue Hesha glanced contemptuously at Nangong Jing. "Looking at you, old man Nangong has a reason to worry."

Nangong Jing immediately burst up. "What did you say? My cultivation progressed hugely this time. I will smash your chest!"

"Pfft, just with you? We'll test how much you have improved later then." Qiuyue Hesha smiled.

Feeling their terrifying chi, Lu Ze and Lin Ling were quite eager for this.

They didn't get to see a young duke level of battle last time, but now, they could.

Lin Ling also looked at Lu Ze with an intent to fight. "We can spar too." Lu Ze smiled. "Up to you."

He didn't care. He was very strong. Lu Ze didn't feel that Lin Ling's progress was as big as his.

Meanwhile, Yingying glanced curiously at them.

Was this the world of adults?

Back at Nangong Jing's home, Qiuyue Hesha and Nangong Jing couldn't resist anymore. They immediately charged upstairs. Lu Ze sensed Lin Ling's fiery eyes and scratched his head speechlessly. Why were they all battle maniacs? Was there no one normal among the group?

He smiled at Yingying. "Yingying, brother and sisters are going to do something upstairs. You can watch cartoons here, okay?"

Yingying noded. "Okay!"

Lu Ze smiled. Yingying was the best.

Yingying started to play by herself on the couch. Lu Ze and Lin Ling went upstairs. In the virtual reality, Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha were already fighting.

Their powerful chi already created waves of air on the stage.

Lu Ze and Lin Ling consciously distanced themselves tens of kilometers away.

The size of the stage can be adjusted based on preference. Otherwise, they would have to go into spectator mode.

Spectator mode was like watching a movie. They wouldn't be able to sense the chi.

If they wanted to feel the power of the two, it was best not to use spectator mode. Nangong Jing burst with a golden color as her black hair turned golden. Her chi became very dominant.

Lu Ze and Lin Ling had seen this. It was Super Saiyan Jing. This was the [God Art] affecting one's appearance.

Quite some powerful [God Art] would affect the looks of someone. For example, Qiuyue Hesha had pink hair, Luo Bingqing had white hair.

But these were rather random.

Nangong Jing's chi was much stronger than last time. Clearly, she improved a lot.

Qiuyue Hesha smiled. Her body was covered with a faint pink veil. Her chi changed and became dreamlike.

Lu Ze looked at Qiuyue Hesha's figure. His mind could not help but fall into a bit of a trance. He seemed to have heard Qiuyue Hesha's seductive voice near his ear. His blood was rushing fast.

He quickly used his mental force to suppress this feeling. He turned around and saw that even Lin Ling was affected.

No wonder Nangong Jing called Qiuyue Hesha a fox demon.

Who could take this [God Art]?

Lu Ze even suspected that some opponents would fall in love with Qiuyue Hesha as they fought.

As her opponent, Nangong Jing was affected the most. Lu Ze could clearly feel Nangong Jing's chi drop a little.

Nangong Jing clearly expected this, and her face was normal.

Her golden eyes flashed, and her long legs stomped on the ground.

In an explosion, she appeared next to Qiuyue Hesha.

Roar!!

The golden fist carried this bestial roar and struck toward Qiuyue Hesha's blossoming chest.

The terrifying atmosphere scared Lu Ze. The fights between women were terrifying. Was she really going to punch Qiuyue Hesha's chest?

Qiuyue Hesha tapped the ground with her feet and flashed away while humming a certain melody.

Was this the [Divine Art] she spoke of last time?

He forced himself to calm down with his mental force. Luckily, his mental force was rather strong due to using the [Purple Orbs]. He looked at Lin Ling and found her face was red.

Lu Ze's mouth twitched. He then patted Lin Ling on the shoulder to wake her up.

She could not recover immediately. At a later moment, she blinked in a dazed manner.

Then, her face went red as she looked at Qiuyue Hesha in embarrassment. "Her [God Art]…"

She didn't know what to say anymore.

Lu Ze nodded. "Indeed, quite powerful."

Lin Ling rolled her eyes. It wasn't a matter of power! Nangong Jing flashed with a golden color, and a golden armor formed on her body. Her right fist flashed with golden light too.

Lu Ze didn't know what [Divine Art] the golden armor was, but he knew [Star Crippling Punch].

The chi on her fist was so powerful that even tens of kilometers away, Lu Ze and Lin Ling felt the air blowing on them.

"Hiyahh!!"

Nangong Jing roared, and the fist struck toward Qiuyue Hesha's chest.

Qiuyue Hesha waved her palm, and a pink veil surrounded Nangong Jing's fist.

When Nangong Jing's terrifying fist force touched that pink-colored veil, it weakened and became chaotic.

Then, the two hands clashed.

Rumble!!

The chi swept in all directions. Lu Ze and Lin Ling retreated back even more.

The golden and pink rays covered an area of tens of kilometers.

When the rays dissipated, Nangong Jing and Qiuyue Hesha stopped fighting and stood a few hundred meters apart.

Nangong Jing grunted. "Hmph. 4328th duel, draw."

Qiuyue Hesha grinned. "Up until now, one win and one loss, the other 4326 duels ended up with a draw."

Lu Ze and Lin Ling: "…"

They had fought that many duels?

Even if they fought one every day, it should take more than a decade?

Did they start fighting since they knew each other?

It was pretty much all draws too.

The difference was too little.

Their power was something the current Lu Ze couldn't compare with at all. Even from tens of kilometers away, he could feel a trace of threat. If he went closer, he wouldn't even be able to handle the aftershock.

But Lu Ze's eyes flashed. At most, he just needed two years, and he will be able to surpass them.

That way, he could go to the East Realm gathering.
