Chapter 2345: Chapter 2349: Mu Ling’er
"Did Jiang Chen actually accept someone from Fengchen Academy?"
"It seems he knows that his mission is extremely difficult, and he wants to find some strong allies to help!"
"Humph! Could it be he’s thinking that even if he gets eliminated, he should eliminate the people from Fengchen Academy along with him?"
Upon seeing Jiang Chen accept Feng Qingyang, the crowd began to whisper quietly.
The students from Changlin Academy didn’t think much of it; they would absolutely support any decision Jiang Chen made. Jiang Chen had already become the spiritual leader for this group of students!
Noticing the commotion around Jiang Chen, the Zhang Tian brothers from Qinghai Academy exchanged a glance and then leapt in front of Yun Tao.
"Yun Tao, let us join your team!"
Zhang Tian spoke softly, and he and Zhang Lin both simultaneously unleashed the aura of the Great Dao.
Buzz buzz!
Blackish Great Dao Divine Light blossomed on both of them, unleashing a majestic pressure.
Sang Zhirou’s face slightly changed; she sidestepped and moved behind Jiang Chen, who exuded an aura to ward off the indiscriminate oppressive force of the Great Dao pressure, coldly staring at the Zhang Tian brothers. The aura emanating from them once again stirred a sense of murderous intent in his heart.
"This aura... it’s the bloodline aura?!"
"They actually awakened their Bloodline Power!"
"What family are they from? With such strong Bloodline Power, why would they go to Qinghai Academy for training?"
"It seems their target is Changling Academy. The six main academies do not recruit externally; they only admit students from junior academies. They probably had no other choice!"
Everyone’s expressions turned serious as they stared at Zhang Tian and Zhang Lin in amazement.
Yun Tao did not immediately respond. Instead, he turned to look at Jiang Chen, who moments ago had shown an intention to kill that even startled him. Although these two had power at the top tier within the same realm, if Jiang Chen was unwilling, Yun Tao would not team up with them.
"Get lost!"
Jiang Chen didn’t waste any words, coldly uttering, his eyes flashing with a sudden murderous intent.
"You..."
The faces of Zhang Tian and Zhang Lin darkened, glaring at Jiang Chen before turning to Yun Tao.
"Yun Tao, you know the difficulty of your mission. Without our help, do you think you can complete it? If you don’t let us join your team, we’ll join the opposing task against you!"
Zhang Lin spoke coldly.
Yun Tao’s mission was an escort task, and there was a rival task opposing it—a team mission. Only one team could successfully pass the assessment.
"You can try."
Without fear, Yun Tao fully supported Jiang Chen’s choice.
"You..."
The faces of Zhang Tian and Zhang Lin turned thoroughly grim as they stared fiercely at Yun Tao.
Though there was an opposing task, the points for the opposition were almost one-third less; after all, destruction is easier than protection.
"Let’s go!"
Zhang Tian coldly glanced aside at Jiang Chen, pulled Zhang Lin, and turned towards another person, the leader of the team mission opposing Yun Tao’s task.
"Senior Brother, if possible, eliminate those two during the mission!"
Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a glimmer of cold light flashing as he spoke in a low voice.
Nearby, Sang Zhirou and others were startled, while Feng Qingyang behind Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted, showing a hint of regret, seemingly regretting joining Jiang Chen’s team.
Ouyang Song, behind the crowd, flinched, quickly looking at Jiang Chen.
"This kid... has such a strong killing intent!"
Elder Zhu glanced at Jiang Chen indifferently, showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Something’s not right, this kid is usually mild-mannered, not one to enjoy bloodshed."
Ouyang Song replied softly, looking at Jiang Chen suspiciously.
Hu Yiqiu and others, who had been watching Jiang Chen, looked over. Although Jiang Chen spoke quietly, he couldn’t hide it from these Unity Realm Stage experts.
"Junior Brother, they are..."
Yun Tao’s heart trembled as he whispered to inquire.
"Dark Church! They were among the culprits responsible for nearly annihilating my hometown. Tens of thousands of siblings from my hometown died at their hands!"
Jiang Chen squeezed out his words through clenched teeth, the fierce glare in his eyes practically palpable.
Detecting Jiang Chen’s gaze, Zhang Tian and Zhang Lin turned to glance at him, coldly sneering before making a throat-slitting gesture.
Buzz!
An obscure murderous intent surfaced from Jiang Chen’s body, which he forcibly suppressed.
Upon hearing this, Yun Tao’s eyes flashed with severity, nodding heavily.
Ouyang Song, Hu Yiqiu, and others had a flash of realization in their eyes.
Feng Qingyang quietly let out a sigh, glanced at Zhang Tian, then Jiang Chen, and slightly shook his head.
"Brother Jiang Chen!"
A slightly innocent voice rang out.
Jiang Chen turned to see Ling’er, and his fierce expression promptly softened, becoming gentle: "Ling’er."
Greeting Mu Ling’er, Jiang Chen turned to look at the girl beside her.
"This is my sister, Brother Jiang Chen, can we join Brother Xue’s team?"
Mu Ling’er’s big, bright eyes watched Jiang Chen expectantly.
She had seen Jiang Chen driving away Zhang Tian and knew he had significant influence over Yun Tao’s side.
"Of course you can!"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
"Welcome! Changlin Academy Yun Tao!"
Upon receiving Jiang Chen’s approval, Yun Tao lightly laughed, introducing himself to the two.
"Changhe Academy Mu Qianrou."
"Brother Yun Tao, I’m Mu Ling’er, you can call me Ling’er!"
The girl and Ling’er introduced themselves.
"Hello Ling’er."
Yun Tao chuckled, greeting Mu Ling’er, then turned with a hint of doubt to Jiang Chen.
"When I first met Ling’er, she was being chased by a pack of Forest Wolves—the same pack I killed. To escape from over a hundred Forest Wolves and earn over 500 points is equivalent to five peak fifth-grade magical beasts. If you underestimate her because of her appearance, you’ll be gravely mistaken!"
Jiang Chen patted Mu Linger’s head, speaking with a light smile.
Yun Tao’s eyes revealed a look of astonishment, staring at Mu Ling’er in disbelief.
In three days, killing five peak fifth-grade magical beasts—a feat even he couldn’t achieve!
"No, Brother Jiang Chen is much more impressive than me!"
Mu Linger’s cheeks flushed, speaking shyly, but there was undeniably a hint of pride in her watery eyes.
A little girl is just a little girl; hearing compliments naturally brings some delight.
Beside her, Mu Qianrou revealed a look of surprise, glancing at Jiang Chen’s hand on Mu Linger’s head and the blissful Mu Ling’er, murmuring inwardly, wondering why this little ancestor was so close to Jiang Chen. She was...
Recalling Mu Linger’s true identity, Mu Qianrou’s pupils shrank involuntarily, fear emerging from the depths of her eyes.
