Chapter 150: Chapter 149: Clash with Soul Wind!
The Next Day.
The first to leave the room after finishing her practice was Qing Lin, who immediately saw Zhu Kun sitting in the courtyard, with a look of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
When Qing Lin spotted Zhu Kun, he naturally noticed her as well. Seeing her appearance, Zhu Kun's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Living together with Jiang Yun and Zi Yan, it was clear the two sides knew each other, and he now had an uneasy feeling.
Could it be that this Jiang Yun lad is a scoundrel?
Out of respect for Jiang Yun's and his daughter's privacy, Zhu Kun hadn't scouted around last night, so he was unaware that there were three additional beauties with Jiang Yun!
"Who are you?" Out of caution, Qing Lin stared tightly at Zhu Kun while he was in a daze. Deep within her emerald green eyes, three tiny light spots slowly floated, as three green flowers prepared to bloom, ready to unleash a terrifying attack.
"Oh—" Noticing the peculiarity in Qing Lin's eyes, Zhu Kun was somewhat surprised and exclaimed, "Emerald Snake Three Flower Pupils!"
"I am Zhu Kun, Zi Yan's father!" After the initial surprise, Zhu Kun quickly regained his composure. To him, divine bloodlines, Emerald Snake Three Flower Pupils, and Woeful Poison Body were all just extraordinary variations, nothing more.
Just a bit special!
"Oh—so it's Uncle!" Upon hearing Zhu Kun's identity, Qing Lin blushed, her hostility fading away. She respectfully approached and began to entertain Zhu Kun.
"What is your name?" Seeing the well-mannered young girl before him, Zhu Kun's eyes showed a trace of a smile. Having left the Ancient Emperor Cave and finally found his daughter, he was in an excellent mood.
"Junior Qing Lin!" Qing Lin respectfully answered while preparing a cup of tea for Zhu Kun.
"Can you tell me about Zi Yan? I've been away for so many years and haven't fulfilled my duty as a father!" Zhu Kun calmly asked while looking at Qing Lin.
Casting a surprised glance at Zhu Kun, Qing Lin quickly understood and softly said, "Alright!"
"I met Sister Zi Yan back in the Jia Ma Empire..."
Listening to Qing Lin's gentle recount, Zhu Kun gained more insight into Zi Yan and Jiang Yun, as well as Xiao Yi Xian, Medusa, and others.
This made the old father feel a bit uneasy, but glancing at the softly narrating Qing Lin, Zhu Kun sighed inwardly.
They are all pitiable children!
It's all that brat Jiang Yun's fault!
Thinking about it, Zhu Kun's displeasure toward Jiang Yun stealing his daughter surged again.
As time passed, everyone gradually got up. Seeing Zhu Kun, Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian naturally grew curious. With Zi Yan bridging the gap, they all got to know each other.
As soon as Jiang Yun came out, he saw Medusa and others sitting together, chatting with Zhu Kun.
"Jiang Yun, you truly are lucky!" Before Jiang Yun could sit down, Zhu Kun's sarcastic tone reached his ears.
Zhu Kun had already identified Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian—a Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python and a resolved Woeful Poison Body, along with an Emerald Snake Three Flower Pupils.
Goodness, normally such rare physiques appear once in centuries, yet Jiang Yun has gathered them in the Jia Ma Empire.
Zhu Kun wondered if there was something special about the Jia Ma Empire that produced so many extraordinary talents.
"Uncle praises me too much!"
Seeing Jiang Yun's brazen face, Zhu Kun felt like punching a pillow, especially since Zi Yan didn't seem to mind at all, making him even more exasperated.
Daughter, Jiang Yun turned out this way mostly because you spoiled him!
At this moment, everyone looked up to see a figure approaching through the air, arriving in an instant.
"Jiang Yun, you're back!" Su Qian, looking at the emerged Jiang Yun and the unfamiliar Zhu Kun, guessed that this should be Zi Yan's father.
"Grand Elder!"
"This must be Grand Elder Su Qian!" After their greeting, Zhu Kun stood up and solemnly cupped his hands at Su Qian. "Thank you, Grand Elder Su Qian, for taking care of Zi Yan all these years. Zhu Kun is eternally grateful. If you need anything, the Ancient Dragon Clan will always be Canaan Academy's friend."
He had learned from Jiang Yun and others that Su Qian was the one who brought Zi Yan and Jiang Yun out of the Magical Beasts Forest to Canaan Academy, a debt of gratitude he had to repay.
"No need. I didn't do much to take care of Zi Yan; just provided her a place to stay. Zi Yan and the others deserve the credit for their achievements!" Su Qian replied modestly, aware that this was a mature Ancient Dragon. Although he didn't know Zhu Kun's exact status within the clan, it must be extraordinary, or he wouldn't represent the Ancient Dragon Clan.
Most likely, he is a legendary Dou Saint?!
"Old Su, no need to be polite. He has plenty of treasures; just ask!" Seeing Su Qian's modesty, Zi Yan loudly chimed in.
Hearing Zi Yan's words, everyone except Zhu Kun smiled lightly. True, she pits her father against her.
"Here, Grand Elder, if Canaan Academy faces any trouble, crush this. No matter where I am, I will come immediately!" Zhu Kun handed over a piece of purple-gold dragon scale to Su Qian.
With Zhu Kun's insistence, Su Qian eventually accepted the dragon scale. Seeing this, Zhu Kun smiled and added, "When I return to my clan, I can establish a spatial passage between Canaan Academy and the Dragon Island. Outstanding Academy students can come to train on my island!"
Su Qian was immediately tempted by this offer. This was far more valuable than any other reward!
Training on Dragon Island was a dream for many, something they could never achieve otherwise. Now it could be easily realized. Su Qian finally agreed.
Seeing the deal reached, Jiang Yun asked Su Qian, "Grand Elder, are the medicinal ingredients ready?"
"Ah, the ingredients for the Tribute Advancement Pill are prepared. When do you want to start refining?" Su Qian replied, handing a ring to Jiang Yun.
"There's no time to lose. Let's start now!" Jiang Yun said after scanning the six sets of medicinal ingredients and taking the ring.
"Then please, Uncle, guard me!" Jiang Yun smiled at Zhu Kun.
"Sure! Let me see your alchemy skills. Although I don't understand alchemy, I've seen several Heavenly Dan Masters refine pills. I should be of some help. Don't worry, not to mention an eighth-tier pill, even Nine Profound Golden Lightning wouldn't hurt you!" Zhu Kun said confidently. Even though his current form was just an Imperial Realm Soul, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning couldn't harm him.
Hearing Zhu Kun's bold words, Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa looked curiously at him, not knowing his strength but feeling increasingly intrigued.
"Then please guide me, Uncle." Jiang Yun laughed cheerfully. With a wave of his hand, Black Demon appeared, and a white Undying Holy Flame ignited within it, burning steadily.
"Boom—"
Inside a chamber, an overwhelming aura erupted from a white-robed figure.
Moments later, the aura retracted, and Yun Yi opened his eyes, feeling the power of a one-star Dou Zun, murmuring, "I should head back to the Soul Clan; then focus on Zhongzhou."
Soul Realm.
Yun Yi once again met his convenient master, Void Swallowing Flame.
Seeing Yun Yi below, Void Swallowing Flame's eyes burned with black flames. "Your strength has grown quickly, reaching Dou Zun!"
"Releasing you back then was the right choice. If you stayed in the Soul Realm, you might not have achieved this."
"Just average speed." Yun Yi replied indifferently.
"Stay in the Soul Realm for a few days. You severely 'bullied' the Gu Clan's young lady. The Gu Clan's elders almost exploded with rage!" Void Swallowing Flame laughed.
"She deserved it. Are we afraid of the Gu Clan?" Yun Yi coldly laughed.
"Heh! The Gu Clan can't make us submit!" Void Swallowing Flame sneered at the mention of the Gu Clan.
"Stay in the clan for a few days. A newly emerged person might pique your interest."
"Oh~~~, who?" Yun Yi asked with interest.
"Soul Wind has emerged. He is one of the three divine-blood members of this generation's Soul Clan and the most favored candidate for young clan leader. Knowing you returned, he might challenge you!" Void Swallowing Flame said, eyes gleaming as he looked at Yun Yi. The Soul Clan's challenges were deadly.
Honestly, Void Swallowing Flame wanted to see Yun Yi's expression showing fear.
"If he comes, I'll just beat him!" Yun Yi said with indifference, displaying extreme confidence. "In the same realm, I am invincible!"
Saying so, he turned to leave without hesitation.
"Interesting!" Watching Yun Yi leave, Void Swallowing Flame murmured, "Soul Wind has my flame seed. Let's see what your flame can do."
As the voice faded, the hall was once again enveloped in darkness.
Yun Yi was back!
The next day, explosive news spread rapidly through the Soul Realm.
Countless people were excited. Who was Yun Yi?
He was Void Swallowing Flame's only disciple, who gained fame by defeating a Dou Huang as a Dou Wang.
Since then, the divine-blooded Soul Wind once claimed he would fight Yun Yi fairly after he reached Dou Zun.
Now, with Soul Wind just emerged and Yun Yi back, a clash is inevitable.
On a mountaintop, Yun Yi stood quietly, watching the Soul Clan's vassals living ordinary lives. Despite being part of the Imperial Clan, their talents were usually mediocre, living as 'ordinary people,' contributing to the clan by producing high-bloodline offspring through sheer numbers.
In certain ways, the vassals were pitiable, being the foundation of the clan's strength while living at the bottom.
"Boom—"
At this moment, a sharp gaze fell on Yun Yi from a distant peak, carrying a strong oppressive aura, freezing the space around Yun Yi.
"Humph!"
Sensing the change in his surroundings, Yun Yi coldly snorted, his powerful soul mixed with fiery energy.
"Bang!"
A scorching flame suddenly exploded in the sky, spreading from Yun Yi in waves.
"What powerful flames!"
Seeing this, a black-robed figure revealed amazement, focusing on the fiery figure. Simultaneously, the black flames within him grew hotter.
"Hmm?" Momentarily absent-minded, he lost track of Yun Yi, who suddenly appeared behind him.
"Such exquisite space manipulation!" Soul Wind praised, noticing Yun Yi.
"Your cultivation is also impressive." Yun Yi observed Soul Wind— a young man of about twenty, emotionless, with fixed features and eyes like black pearls embedded forcefully, evoking coldness.
"Soul Wind!" Soul Wind turned, his voice calm and cold.
Nodding, Yun Yi replied, "Yun Yi!"
The two faced each other, an invisible energy starting to clash, thickening the atmosphere.
"Boom—"
With a loud explosion, the two vanished ghost-like.
"Bang!"
In an instant, they appeared mid-air, clashing a fist and a palm, releasing a terrifying ripple that cracked the ground below, shattering stones into dust.
"Hmm!"
At first contact, Soul Wind grunted, retreating quickly. Glancing at his reddened, bleeding hand, he revealed a blood-stained palm.
In their initial clash, Soul Wind suffered a minor loss!
"Indeed, your physical body is formidable!" Soul Wind coldly said, indifferent to his injury.
Yun Yi moved again, closing the distance to Soul Wind!
"Raging Tiger Wind Roar Palm!" Soul Wind smirked, changing his hand seal, sending a fierce palm strike toward Yun Yi.
Facing Soul Wind's attack, Yun Yi's feet glowed silver, suddenly reappearing behind Soul Wind.
"Black Extreme Collapse!"
