Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Celebration of Success (Seeking Recommendations)

"Remember, do not reveal our master-servant relationship in front of those from the Academic Palace. Otherwise, I will take your life, understand?"

Ling Chen spoke coldly.

"This servant understands!"

Ye Zhenzhen quickly responded.

"Good, you can crawl back now."

With that remark, Ling Chen returned to his room.

The reason for keeping Ye Zhenzhen was twofold: one was to slap the Tianluo Academy in the face, deliberately provoking Li Ze and others, and the other was to prepare for the upcoming Eight Palaces Martial Contest.

After all, compared to the other seven Academic Palaces, True Martial Academy only had him as a top student, a single tree cannot make a forest.

If Ye Zhenzhen made a move, with her Cloud Mist Spirit Body, she also had a great chance of winning one of the contests.

If that happened, as long as luck wasn’t too bad, Wan Er should also be able to win one.

The Eight Palaces Martial Contest is different from exchange battles; there are only five contests.

Therefore, winning three would mean victory.

Enough to avoid the embarrassment of being at the bottom!

"Yes."

Only when the sound of the door closing reached her did Ye Zhenzhen slightly raise her head, glanced over, saw that Ling Chen was not there, and then tremblingly got up and left.

...

Zhenwu Prefecture City.

In an inn not far from the entrance of True Martial Academy.

A middle-aged man with a beard looked towards the main entrance of True Martial Academy and said through gritted teeth, "Good boy, so patient. How come you still haven’t come out after all this time?"

This man was none other than Li Ze from the Tianluo Academy, disguised with a human skin mask.

On the day the exchange battle ended, he led He Mu and five other students to leave Zhenwu Prefecture City.

But one day later, he returned alone.

After changing his appearance, he sneaked into Zhenwu Prefecture City.

Ye Zhenzhen was the top talent cultivated by their Tianluo Academy, but she defected to the True Martial Academy, how could Tianluo Academy retain their dignity?

If the Palace Master found out, he would definitely not forgive him!

He believed that Ye Zhenzhen had her compelling reasons; otherwise, she would not have betrayed Tianluo Academy.

Now thinking about it, he felt more suspicious, as if Ye Zhenzhen had become a different person back then.

So, he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to capture Ling Chen.

Just capturing Ling Chen would allow him to swap Ye Zhenzhen back.

It was a pity that Ling Chen had not shown himself.

He was a Primordial Pill Realm third-layer Water Spirit Body owner, dealing with a kid who hasn’t advanced to the Primordial Pill Realm would be an easy capture, wouldn’t it?

But for a Primordial Pill Realm cultivator, what they least lack is patience.

...

Three days later, as night just fell.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of knocks on the door sounded, followed by a crisp and excited shout: "Young... Ling Chen, I’m back!"

"This girl!"

Ling Chen slightly frowned, got up, and opened the door.

"Young Master, I’ve missed you so much!"

Accompanied by a whiff of fragrance, a soft figure threw herself into Ling Chen’s arms.

"Alright, how old are you, still acting like a child?"

Ling Chen scolded affectionately, prying open the arms hugging him, then gently picked up Ling Wu and placed her a foot in front of him.

"Hehe!"

Ling Wu didn’t mind, spun around on the spot, looked at Ling Chen, and said with a smile: "Young Master, do you notice any difference in me than before?"

"Hm?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed, then he exclaimed in surprise: "Spirit Sea Realm seventh-layer late stage?"

Before the retreat, Ling Wu was only at the fourth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, yet in just one month, she had actually improved by three full layers!

"Young Master, such sharp observation! Hehe, how about it? Have I caught up with Young Master’s cultivation level now?"

Ling Wu smiled proudly.

She had always been weaker in cultivation than Ling Chen.

But this time, with her master’s help, she finally caught up.

"Hmm! Not bad!"

Ling Chen nodded: "Release your Spiritual Power for me to see?"

"Okay!"

Ling Wu nodded, stretched out her jade hand, and a cyan-blue Spiritual Power emerged.

Azure blue Spiritual Power, is indeed the Power of Fusion of the Ice and Fire Saint Body.

The reason why the Ice and Fire Saint Body is known as a Sacred Body is because the Ice Spiritual Power and Fire Spiritual Power can fuse, making its power increase by more than double compared to pure Spiritual Power!

If these two types of Spiritual Power cannot fuse, it can only become an Ice and Fire Spirit Body!

"Truly, it is the power of fusion of the Ice and Fire Spiritual Power, it should be comparable to the first level of the Primordial Pill Realm!"

Ling Chen was shocked in his heart.

He too possesses a Sacred Body, but his Spiritual Power is at most only two levels higher than a cultivator of the same rank.

However, Ling Wu’s Spiritual Power is close to three levels higher!

The main difference lies in the special traits of the Night Moon Sacred Body and the Ice and Fire Saint Body.

The Night Moon Sacred Body heavily emphasizes cultivation, focusing on the natural and inherent quality of the Spiritual Power, naturally pursuing stability.

Moreover, it is currently at a low level of cultivation, so there’s still room for growth in the Night Moon Spiritual Power.

Whereas the Ice and Fire Saint Body is formed by the fusion of the Ice Spirit Body and Fire Spirit Body.

Ice and fire are naturally opposing elements, when combined, they naturally have explosive potential!

Suddenly, an idea struck Ling Chen, as he recalled the description of the Ice and Fire Saint Body in his inherited memories, which should be three levels higher than an ordinary cultivator’s Spiritual Power.

Yet, Ling Wu’s Spiritual Power gave him a somewhat patchy feeling.

"How have you been cultivating during this period?"

Ling Chen’s face became serious as he asked sternly.

He did not want Ling Wu to stray on the wrong path during her cultivation.

Seeing Ling Chen so solemn, Ling Wu quickly said, "It was the Master who gave me a Primordial Spirit Stone."

"Oh."

Ling Chen nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

The Primordial Spirit Stone is also a type of Spirit Stone.

It contains copious amounts of Spiritual Energy.

Even more pure than the Spiritual Energy found in regular Spirit Stones.

Generally, it is used by mid to high-level cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm.

Since it is a Primordial Spirit Stone, there shouldn’t be any issues with Ling Wu’s cultivation.

Ling Chen looked at Ling Wu again and said, "When cultivating, do not overly pursue speed, and pay attention to condensing your Spiritual Power. Right now, your Spiritual Power is not condensed enough, spend the next few days focusing on condensing it!"

"Huh?"

Ling Wu, with a frustrated look, said, "Young Master, I’ve just finished my cultivation retreat!"

"Alright, don’t be frustrated. Let’s go to the Drunken Immortal Tavern to celebrate for you, and tomorrow I will guide your cultivation!"

Ling Chen, rubbing Ling Wu’s little head, spoke with a doting expression.

"Mhm!"

Ling Wu hastily nodded, her smile blooming like a lush array of flowers.

"Shall we go?"

Ling Wu took Ling Chen’s arm, heading towards the exit.

"What’s the hurry, girl?"

Ling Chen asked with a wry smile.

"Hurry up, we can’t let Sister Wan Er wait anxiously."

Ling Wu said with a beaming smile.

"You’ve made plans with Wan Er?"

Ling Chen’s smile momentarily stiffened.

He had repeatedly told Ling Wu not to get too close to Wan Er, but the girl had totally ignored his advice.

"No, Sister Wan Er had already arranged it with me before I went into seclusion! Since Young Master, you also want to celebrate for me, it’s better to do it together."

Ling Wu spoke while smiling.

Ling Chen was speechless.

Just as they exited the core students’ residence area, Ling Chen saw a slender figure standing not far away.

"Sister Wan Er!"

Ling Wu waved to Wan Er.

Wan Er turned around and walked towards them.

"Young Master Ling."

Wan Er slightly bowed towards Ling Chen.

"Senior doesn’t have to be so formal."

Ling Chen smiled slightly.

Watching their courteous interaction, Ling Wu’s expression changed all of a sudden. She glanced at Wan Er, then at Ling Chen, and spoke with an upset tone, "You two haven’t done anything behind my back that you shouldn’t have, have you?"

Before, the two were not so polite with each other.

Now that they were behaving so courteously, there definitely was something fishy.
