Chapter 149: Chapter 149

The short-haired girl reproached Jiang Chen while the others were still shocked by his identity as a disciple of the Natural Law School. She didn’t care whether he was from a top ten sect or school at all.

When she had told Jiang Chen to claw out his eyes, she wasn’t joking. She said it seriously, very seriously.

“What if I say no?”

Jiang Chen had met many unreasonable people. This girl was surely at the top of the list.

“If you won’t do it, I will,” she said coldly.

She was in the late stage of the Mental Wander State. Most of the people present were in the Mental Wander State. This was a strong team.

“What if I say no?”

Li Xue’er stepped forward slowly to stand in front of Jiang Chen. She repeated his question in an ice cold and aggressive tone.

The short-haired girl’s expression changed a little bit, but she didn’t give in.

They were both women and were in the same state. She was unwilling to submit to Li Xue’er and intended to take advantage of the opportunity to challenge her, but as soon as she raised her head and made eye contact with Li Xue’er, she was intimidated and lost her courage to fight against her.

It was only a look. She was defeated by a single look.

The air seemed frozen because of Li Xue’er. It was so silent that they could hear each other breathing. No one tried to speak.

“Sister Yi Ning, it’s fine.”

The girl squatting and crying suddenly stood up and walked over. She tried to talk the short-haired out of the idea of punishing Jiang Chen.

“Since this disciple of the Natural Law School intruded by accident, this is only a misunderstanding. Don’t worry about it,” she said gently.

She was tall and slim, good-looking and gentle. The way she talked and behaved was nimble and pure. In her blue dress, she looked like a fairy walking right out of a story.

“Meng Qian!”

Yi Ning was quite reluctant to give up like this.

Yet Meng Qian didn’t argue with her, instead turning to Li Xue’er and saying to her, “Apprentice sister Xue’er, Yi Ning has a hot temper. I hope you don’t mind.”

She was elegant and sincere; no one could be angry with her.

Li Xue’er nodded slightly and didn’t speak.

“So that’s it. It’s over,” Meng Qian said.

The awkward atmosphere finally relaxed. The people started to talk with each other in low voices.

“You, I’ll keep in mind how you slandered my brother,” the youngster trash-talked Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen ignored him. He was staring at Meng Qian.

If he remembered correctly, this woman’s wild image in the water was totally different from the weakness and gentleness she had shown at that moment.

Besides, she had been squatting there without saying a word, and hadn’t settled the quarrel until Li Xue’er came forward to protect him.

This woman wasn’t simple.

He couldn’t help but worry about Li Xue’er. He said, “Apprentice sister, are you by yourself in this group?”

“You want to stay?” she asked him directly.

“No. I mean, why don’t you come with me?” Jiang Chen said in a joking manner.

Li Xue’er shook her head slightly, but rather resolutely.

“What are you going to do?” Jiang Chen asked.

“To look for the seeds,” she answered.

“What?”

“You don’t know?”

Jiang Chen had no idea what she was talking about. He shook his head. Li Xue’er didn’t know where to start to explain.

“If you don’t know, it only means you’re foolish and you don’t deserve to know.”

The youngster had been listening to their conversation and had finally found a chance to give Jiang Chen a blow.

Before Jiang Chen could respond, he went on, “It’s not easy to receive a spot in the Sacred Institute. Besides the competition among us, the Sacred Institute has also sent their own to supervise us. If the top three aren’t good enough, they won’t be accepted, either.

“That’s why the largest groups in the Fire Field are collaborating together. They’ve opened the Realm of Beasts to the public and are going to elect key candidates from among those who have come here.

“These key candidates will be given special attention and training in the next six months.

“Before the big groups sent their disciples in, they told their best disciples about the seeds and to look for them.

“If you don’t know anything about them, it means you weren’t chosen.”

This guy explained to him what the seeds were while delivering a blow.

“And I, He Renlong, am carrying the hope of my family.” He looked pretty proud of himself, but Jiang Chen burst into laughter.

“Why are you laughing?” He Renlong was irritated.

“They picked the best out of a mediocre bunch. Haven’t you heard about your reputation? How good are the Hes? Can you compete with the Natural Law School? Can you compete with Apprentice Sister Xue’er?” Jiang Chen said.

“Apprentice Sister Xue’er?”

Jiang Chen felt an icy stare on his back.

“Apprentice Sister Li!” he hurried to modify his previous remark.

“Hum!”

He Renlong realized what Jiang Chen meant and flew into a rage. He shouted, “I’m ranked ninety-ninth on the Eternal Flame List, among the top one hundred. Can you compete with me?”

“Ninety-ninth? As I remember, I’m ranked seventy something…” Jiang Chen smiled.

This He Renlong only had an ordinary level of martial arts techniques. He didn’t have any great secret methods, nor did he have many holy points.

He had worked very hard to achieve the beginning of the middle stage, but he wasn’t a match for Li Qin.

But the fact that Jiang Chen had defeated Li Qin didn’t mean he was able to deal with He Renlong.

“Maybe I can defeat him if I have four holy points,” Jiang Chen thought to himself.

However, He Renlong recalled what had happened to Li Qin and didn’t talk back.

“Enough. Are you done or not? You, we’ve settled it. Just get as far away as you can,” Yi Ning swore.

Jiang Chen squinted at her. This woman had intended to claw out his eyes and hadn’t shown any respect. Even Buddha would be angry.

But for the moment, he wasn’t a match for her, so he had to hold his temper.

“Apprentice sister, see you later. Take care. These people are not reliable. Someone’s brother is a Peeping Tom, while someone else likes to kill innocents.”

“You!” Both He Renlong and Yi Ning were irritated.

But Jiang Chen just fluttered his wings and flew into the air, leaving them only a receding figure.

After leaving, Jiang Chen thoughts kept coming back to Li Xue’er somehow.

Her unrivalled elegance and her ability to intimidate others with a simple look…

“I should try to enhance my state after finding the spiritual herbs,” Jiang Chen thought to himself. One had to be powerful enough to be respected. This time, Li Xue’er had helped him, but the next time he could be killed by a single palm from others and his eyes could be clawed out.

He was worried that He Renlong would play a dirty trick on him, so he kept flying low until he was far away. When he thought he was far enough, he decided to look for a place to land.

What?

Suddenly, he sensed something unusual ahead of him. He released his holy awareness and found there was a powerful energy being emitted from somewhere.

When he approached, he saw a crack on the ground. The primordial yuan emitting from it could even be seen by the human eye. It was surprisingly powerful.

“There must be a strain of yuan stones under the Realm of Beasts. That’s why the spirit of universe and the primordial yuan are mixed together.”

“Great! This is a perfect opportunity for me to form holy points!” Jiang Chen was overjoyed.

This was essence of primordial yuan. Like the source of the pure yang mineral crystals he had found in the Southwind Ridge, they could be absorbed by the human body.
