Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2244: Chapter 2248: Zhang Yubo’s Ambition

”I... I am not as good as him!”

Yuan Chong looked at the Five-Colored Longsword above Jiang Chen’s head with shock on his face, a bitter taste in his mouth, and spoke dejectedly.

”You are already amazing!”

Princess Chang patted Yuan Chong’s shoulder, her gaze towards Jiang Chen full of brilliance: ”Don’t compare yourself to him, he...”

The words suddenly stopped, and Yuan Chong’s expression froze suddenly, his body trembled violently, then a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

Hu Yiqiu squinted his eyes slightly, casting a deep glance at Princess Chang.

He knew very well in his heart that others might not understand the ’Son of Heavenly Dao’, but Princess Chang certainly did; Si Huang’er, who grew up with her, was exactly the ’Son of Heavenly Dao’!

Jiang Chen’s various performances must have revealed some clues to Princess Chang!

However, Hu Yiqiu was not worried that Princess Chang would reveal this matter; if she were to speak, she wouldn’t have used telepathy with Yuan Chong just now.

As if noticing Hu Yiqiu’s gaze, Princess Chang turned to look at him and gave him a big roll of her eyes.

Hu Yiqiu was momentarily taken aback, then smiled helplessly, it seemed that his skeptical expression had annoyed her.

Buzz!

At this moment, a slightly violent aura emanated, and everyone’s expression changed simultaneously.

”Has he also integrated his spiritual power into the Great Dao Attack?!”

”The mastery of power by these two senior brothers has reached such a high level; I’m afraid some cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm can’t even achieve this level of mastery!”

”This aura... this attack already possesses the initial stage power of the Void Refinement Realm!”

”Unexpectedly, he truly unleashed an attack with the strength of the initial stage of the Void Refinement Realm just after breaking through to the Mid Divine Infant Realm!”

Exclamations of surprise erupted from the crowd.

Hu Yiqiu had a peculiar expression in his eyes, muttering to himself, this kid, why does he have to take this risk with such strength in the Power of the Great Dao and spiritual power? Couldn’t he use the Ice Void Needle to break this barrier?

Zhang Qingyuan’s face became completely gloomy, staring intently at Jiang Chen, a murderous intent almost seeping out of his eyes!

”Break it for me!”

A loud shout rang out, and Jiang Chen pointed at the wooden frame in front of him with one hand.

Swish!

The Five-Colored Light Sword instantly stabbed towards the defensive light barrier where ”Dragon Steps” was located.

Bang!

Buzz!

The same scene reappeared, the barrier shattered, and brilliance emerged from the wooden frame, dispersing the aftermath of the explosion.

Jiang Chen let out a long breath, picked up the Jade Slip, and turned to walk towards Hu Yiqiu and the others.

”Good kid! Well done!”

Hu Yiqiu beamed, giving Jiang Chen a heavy pat on the shoulder.

Jiang Chen smiled wryly and said helplessly, ”Master, be gentle, I’m about to collapse!”

Upon hearing this, Hu Yiqiu was momentarily stunned, only then noticing Jiang Chen’s pale complexion, and quickly took out an elixir, stuffing it into Jiang Chen’s mouth.

After taking the elixir, Jiang Chen’s complexion improved slightly. He turned to glance at Zhang Qingyuan, smirked, and cupped his hands: ”Thank you, Sect Master Zhang, for your guidance!”

”Hmph!”

Zhang Qingyuan snorted coldly, glaring at Jiang Chen angrily.

”Alright, since the selection is over, the Mingqian Banquet is concluded; everyone, you may return!”

Zhang Yubo swept a glance at everyone, his gaze pausing on Jiang Chen, and spoke loudly.

Jiang Chen felt a shiver in his heart, for Zhang Yubo’s look just now sent a piercing chill through him.

It seems that although it didn’t make him further suspect that I obtained Wu Ying’s legacy, I still managed to offend him!

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then secretly amused; this Mingqian Banquet made Zhang Yubo lose face greatly; if everyone stayed around, it would only add to his annoyance.

With Zhang Yubo issuing the order to leave, everyone didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave the grand hall one after another.

”Domain Lord, are you just going to let that kid go?”

After everyone had left, Zhang Yubo and Zhang Qingyuan put away the cultivation techniques, combat skills, and spiritual herbs and fruits, and Zhang Qingyuan, unwilling, came up to Zhang Yubo.

”What else can I do? With Princess Chang around, would you dare to make a move on him?”

Zhang Yubo shot a glance at Zhang Qingyuan, his expression dark.

”I’ve heard... Princess Chang is preparing to break through to the Saint Realm?”

Zhang Qingyuan’s eyes turned, speaking in a low voice.

”Yes, Princess Chang’s excursion this time is actually to adjust her mindset, preparing for a closed-door breakthrough.”

Zhang Yubo nodded lightly: ”I know what you’re thinking; before Princess Chang leaves, there must be no rash actions, or no one can save you. As for after Princess Chang leaves, I won’t stop whatever you want to do, but it must be done secretly, for the current Changlin Academy is not easy to deal with!”

”I understand.”

A cold, gloomy light flashed in Zhang Qingyuan’s eyes as he cupped his hands in farewell and strode out of the grand hall.

As Zhang Qingyuan left, Zhang Yubo stood quietly in the grand hall, as if waiting for something.

Swish!

Not long after, a figure completely shrouded in black mist appeared beside Zhang Yubo.

”Domain Lord, Zhang Daoling has returned to his quarters!”

A low voice emanated from within the black mist.

”As long as he doesn’t leave, there’s no need to bother with him. Inform Tang Lin to quickly gain Zhang Sanfeng’s trust and bring him over in secret. With these two cauldrons, my path to becoming a saint will be unhindered!”

A mad look flashed in Zhang Yubo’s eyes.

”Yes!”

The black mist responded respectfully.

”Closely monitor the movements of the party from Changlin Academy, especially that Jiang Chen, keep a close eye on him! As soon as he leaves Hu Yiqiu’s side, kill him immediately!”

A cold murderous intent flashed in Zhang Yubo’s eyes; he hated Jiang Chen to the core. If it weren’t for him, he wouldn’t have lost so much face today, a shame he could never swallow!

”Yes!”

”Also, do not pay attention to Princess Chang. She has a Semi-Saint protecting her, you won’t be able to hide from him!”

Zhang Yubo reminded once more, gently waving his hand: ”You may go, and once I become a saint, I will surely help you on your path to sainthood!”

”Thank you, Domain Lord, I shall take my leave!”

The black mist stirred for a moment, then vanished instantly from the grand hall.

”Become a saint? Haha! That day is finally coming!”

A glimmer of longing appeared in Zhang Yubo’s eyes, yet his expression suddenly turned ferocious.

”Wu Ying, back then you always surpassed me, but now? I’m about to become a saint, while you? Your tomb is destroyed, your bones nonexistent!” Zhang Yubo muttered venomously to himself.

Jealousy drives people mad!

Once, Zhang Yubo had been a dazzling genius, but after encountering the Shadowless Sword Emperor, he was overshadowed at every turn.

However, Zhang Yubo was deeply scheming, hiding his true intentions, becoming a close friend of the Shadowless Sword Emperor.

In the end, he even leveraged the power of the Shadowless Sword Emperor to rise to the position of Mingqian Realm’s Domain Lord, and later, when the Shadowless Sword Emperor showed potential to become a saint, he perished!

”Moreover, you don’t even have a successor; in a few years, who will even remember you as the once Number One of the Mingqian Realm?”

Zhang Yubo continued muttering to himself: ”No! Everyone will only remember me, the Mingqian Saint, Zhang Yubo! Hahahahaha...”

At the end, he was already laughing wildly!
