Chapter 928: Chapter 701: Top Expert?
If we could use Reverse Summoning, wouldn’t Long Yi and Ai Lin also quickly enter the Middle Plane? You must know that Ruosha and Isrile are already on the Middle Plane; wouldn’t it work if we just had them perform a Reverse Summoning?
But the current problem is, we can’t get in touch with them at all!
Ai Lin immediately sent this discovery as a secret communication to Long Yi.
In The Divine Auffa Empire, Little Zi had once disguised herself as an ordinary person and purchased a piece of property. Ai Lin would use a series of intricate methods to send a crystal containing information over to this place, and Little Zi would send an Avatar to check on it every day.
Then, this crystal fell into Long Yi’s hands.
Reverse Summoning!
Why didn’t I think of it!
Long Yi immediately felt the urge to bang his head against the wall.
When the term Reverse Summoning first appeared with Landers, Long Yi only found it amusing, but he hadn’t realized the tremendous significance hidden within it!
And that’s where the problem was, now Long Yi’s relationship with Landers was terrible. It seemed impossible to obtain Landers’s Reverse Summoning spell through normal means. And Gridis didn’t know this spell either; in short, if one wanted to obtain the Reverse Summoning spell, they still had to rely on themselves.
What to do? Go and grovel before Landers, begging him in a low voice?
Long Yi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth at the thought.
No, it’s better to capture him and subject him to severe torture!
Or have Little Zi directly interrogate his soul!
These methods don’t seem reliable though! After all, Landers is a renowned figure, if any mishap occurs, this lead would be lost.
Reconciling and groveling is not in Long Yi’s nature, so it seems the only option left is to fight.
However, Landers hasn’t appeared in front of Long Yi recently, and it’s unknown where he has gone.
Where did Landers go?
He went to an unknown planet, a place he left fifty years ago and never returned to since. There, resides Landers’s mentor, Adaman.
Adaman, well over three hundred years old, sequestered himself on this planet eighty years ago and had not left since. Landers studied under Adaman for thirty years on this planet before he was sent away. Adaman also told him to never return unless he faced an enemy he absolutely couldn’t deal with.
And now, Landers had returned.
On the vast plains, beneath a giant tree stood Landers’s small stone cottage. And in front of the cottage, a dark golden warhammer was glowing gently. An old man was sitting next to the warhammer, absorbing its light and transforming it into his own strength.
Landers could feel this extraordinary power; gentle and restrained but capable of unleashing terrifying force once provoked.
Before Landers could step forward, the old man had already opened his eyes.
"Landers, you’ve come back," said the old man, who was Landers’s mentor, Adaman.
"Yes, Master, I have returned, and I seek your assistance," Landers said respectfully, kneeling before Adaman. He had no idea how powerful Adaman was; only that when he was naive, he had felt his mentor’s Mana to be as vast as the ocean. And now, even though he himself was strong enough to hold his own, his mentor still seemed as immeasurable as the sea.
"I know you’re a proud child, and you wouldn’t be back if you could handle the situation yourself. So tell me, what has happened?" asked Adaman with a smile on his lips.
"Yes, Master, actually, it’s like this."
Landers then recounted the whole situation to Adaman as it unfolded. After listening, Adaman laughed.
"Heh, I think that Long Yi must be the disciple of some old ghost!"
"I think so too," Landers nodded in agreement.
"Well, it seems some old ghost can’t stay idle and wants to let their disciples out for some fun. That’s fine, let’s all have some fun then!"
As he spoke, another person came out of the small stone cottage.
It was a young man, tall and slender, his skin emanating a dark golden color.
"He is Soro, my most outstanding student besides you. I used the Giant’s strength within this warhammer to modify his body, granting him immense resistance and the ability to grow to a giant size,"
Adaman nodded at Soro, who took a few steps forward. Amid the flickering golden light that enveloped him, he transformed into a five-meter-tall hulk! His muscles were like metal! What was even more incredible was that Landers could sense the mana around them being continuously absorbed by Soro! Magic absorption, this meant he had tremendous resistance to various spells!
"I can make all battles turn into close combat!"
Soro’s voice boomed like thunder.
"Thank you, Master. I think this time, Long Yi is finished!"
Meanwhile, Gridis was in a cave on another planet. An old man held a dark gold disc in his hand from which runes occasionally flew out, landing in the old man’s eyes. Each time, the man would fall into a daze, waking with ecstatic joy.
However, this did not prevent Gridis from narrating his own affairs, because when he was a young man, he knew his mentor, Lou Aran, was just such a person.
"Oh? Long Yi? Ai Lin? Two young powerhouses? Haha, which old ghosts got bored again? Well, good, Oran, you too go out and have some fun. See if your charm can win over Ai Lin! If any old ghost learns that his precious student was snagged by my student, won’t he be infuriated to death? Hahaha! Oh... runes... more runes..."
"Master, I think charm alone might not be enough, I’ve heard that Ai Lin’s favorite are powerhouses," Gridis said.
"Strong! Oran is strong, stronger than you!" Lou Aran said.
Gridis was left speechless.
Oran was an extremely handsome young man, so much so that even Gridis thought he was exceedingly attractive. However, Gridis suspected that this was likely the result of some magical enhancement.
Thus, on different planets, many young people left their secluded worlds and entered into what had been a relatively peaceful world. Overnight, some countries excitedly discovered that those old monsters, long silent, had once again sent out their students. And these students were bound to become targets of contention among many nations.
This was no exception for The Divine Auffa Empire and the Sanctuary Empire.
At that time, within The Divine Auffa Empire, Emperor Saint Danze and August were in the study.
"I bet that those old folks, who have been quiet all this time, are sending out their students now for one reason alone," Saint Danze said.
"Long Yi and Ai Lin," August continued.
"This confirms our guess, Long Yi and Ai Lin must both be students of some ancient powerhouses. Otherwise, it’s absolutely impossible for them to possess such terrifying strength and knowledge at such a young age. And the rest of those ancient figures, not to be outdone, have also sent out their students. If we consider the timing, it’s indeed about right," Saint Danze sighed.
"What worries me is that this plane will be turned upside down by these youngsters again," August shook his head.
"No, I think what we should worry about first, should be Saint Danze," Saint Danze said with a smile.
"Saint Danze?" August was puzzled.
"Yes. Have you forgotten that Landers is also a student of an ancient powerhouse? This time, one of Landers’ students was killed by Long Yi, and he himself didn’t gain any advantage from Long Yi. Do you think his master, if he really sends a new student, wouldn’t make them seek out Long Yi first for trouble?" Saint Danze said.
"You’re right! Landers’ mentor Adaman has never been a broad-minded person. Even before he became a top powerhouse, he was very narrow-minded. And after he obtained the Giant’s inheritance, he became even worse, unable to let go of even those elders who had merely criticized him in his youth. With such a person existing, Long Yi is really in trouble this time!" August laughed heartily.
"It’s just that I don’t know who will come to our Divine Auffa Empire this time," Saint Danze said, worrying again.
"I think with Gridis here, at least it won’t be too bad," August guessed, but he was not very confident in his heart.
After repelling Landers, Long Yi had not seen him again. Of course, Long Yi wouldn’t go looking for him, even though the Reverse Summoning spell was very tempting to him, he wasn’t at the point where he needed to seek it out proactively. Long Yi still spent most of his time researching various magical equipment, busy every day, and no one knew what exactly he was working on.
In fact, at that moment, Long Yi was trying to develop a new type of armor for the Sanctuary Empire. Based on the prototype of the Battle Armor in the White Dragon Empire, it incorporated elements of magic. Knowing that the Sanctuary Empire and The Divine Auffa Empire would inevitably demand such armor if war broke out, the only way to maintain his position in the nation was to develop stronger equipment. Correspondingly, Ai Lin was also preparing new spells in The Divine Auffa Empire, ready to upgrade the combat prowess of their soldiers at any moment.
While Long Yi was busy, Saint Linde once again rushed over in a flurry.
"Mr. Long Yi! There’s big trouble!" Saint Linde yelled from a distance.
"Has the war started?" Long Yi’s eyes sparkled with excitement!
"No! It hasn’t!" Saint Linde pulled Long Yi into a secluded corner, "Master Landers is back, and he has brought a young man named Soro with him!"
Long Yi looked bewildered, "Okay, what does that have to do with me?"
Saint Linde became agitated, "Of course, it matters! Master Landers is a student of Adaman, and this Soro is also Adaman’s student! Moreover, he’s much, much more powerful than Landers! My father specially arranged a contest, and Soro defeated a whole thousand Divine Armor Mages! He’s simply like an unbeatable God of War!"
"Wait, the Adaman you mentioned, isn’t he the one from the legends who became as rich as a nouveau riche after obtaining the Giant’s inheritance!" Long Yi asked with a face full of surprise.
