Chapter 2273: Chapter 2277: The Past

”Jiang Chen, you’re amazing! How is your spiritual power so solid?”

Lin Yuyan looked at Jiang Chen with excitement. Her excitement was so intense that anyone who didn’t know might think she had just instantly defeated five cultivators of the same realm.

”Yuyan, refining spiritual power is not without benefits. If you’re willing, you can start refining your spiritual power now. But remember, when refining, make sure to refine it all at once, refining all the spiritual power in your Dantian completely without giving up halfway, otherwise it will be useless!”

Jiang Chen turned to look at Lin Yuyan, speaking softly.

”Okay! I’ll try it tonight!”

Lin Yuyan nodded heavily.

Qin Chaolan frowned but said nothing.

Refining spiritual power at this realm has some benefits, but they are not very significant, far less tangible than breaking through the realm. However, Lin Yuyan had risen too quickly in her realm, elevating from the early Unification Realm to the Mid Divine Infant Realm in two years. She needs to settle down, and refining spiritual power at this time won’t interfere with her cultivation.

”Is refining spiritual power so useful now? I also want to try it.”

Chen Jingxuan, just recovering, spoke softly. He knew Jiang Chen was strong, but he didn’t expect Jiang Chen to be so powerful just with spiritual power alone. Hearing Jiang Chen tell Lin Yuyan to refine spiritual power, he also wanted to try it.

Jiang Chen looked at Chen Jingxuan carefully and reminded him softly, ”Yuyan needs to refine spiritual power to stabilize her foundation because she’s advancing too fast. Jingxuan, if you need it to enhance your combat skills, you can refine your spiritual power too. But if you don’t need to rely on solid spiritual power to enhance the attack power of your combat skills, then just continue with your normal cultivation.”

”Is it because of combat skills that you refined your spiritual power so solidly? What kind of combat skills are they? Heavenly-tier battle skills?”

Chen Jingxuan paused, then looked at Jiang Chen with amusement.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly. He did have a Heavenly-tier battle skill, but it wasn’t just because of that he refined his spiritual power.

”I refined my spiritual power because I don’t want to advance my realm, so as to earn more rewards for the academy in the Changling Main Court’s entrance competition.”

Jiang Chen explained softly.

”More rewards?”

Chen Jingxuan paused, then nodded lightly.

They had also heard about the entrance competition in the Changling Main Court. Rewards were distributed to the branch academies based on the rankings of students in each realm.

Qin Chaolan’s eyes slightly changed as she looked deeply at Jiang Chen, her dissatisfaction fading a little.

A student willing to suppress his own realm for the academy shouldn’t be someone who is arrogant and self-important. Elder Sang said he wouldn’t accept Yuyan...

”Jiang Chen, I heard from Elder Sang that you have a fiancée?”

Qin Chaolan suddenly spoke up.

Lin Yuyan’s face changed slightly, staring directly at Jiang Chen.

Hmm? Why is the teacher talking about this?

Jiang Chen glanced curiously at Sang Zhenye, then nodded lightly, ”Yes, I have three fiancées!”

”Three?!”

Qin Chaolan paused, then turned to look at Sang Zhenye.

Sang Zhenye also paused, looking puzzled, ”Jiang Chen, didn’t you say there was only one in the north?”

”The other two are not in this world.”

Jiang Chen’s expression darkened as he spoke softly, eyes filled with deep longing.

Images of Gong Lin and Yè Yùwǎn, far away in Yuan Star, flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind, and a trace of tenderness, a deep love that could melt ice and reshape the heavens and earth, appeared in his eyes!

Qin Chaolan stood stunned for a moment, an apologetic expression emerging in her gaze towards Jiang Chen.

So, he lost two fiancées!

Qin Chaolan misunderstood.

Sang Zhenye, however, was not sorrowful. Jiang Chen said they weren’t in this world, not dead. Knowing where Jiang Chen came from, Sang Zhenye understood the implication behind Jiang Chen’s words.

”Jiang Chen, you can’t live in memories. Take care!”

Qin Chaolan spoke softly.

”Brother Jiang, don’t be sad!”

Lin Yuyan looked at Jiang Chen with concern, her large, bright eyes sparkling with tears.

Jiang Chen’s suddenly darkened mood filled her with endless sadness. From Jiang Chen’s eyes, she saw the helplessness hidden within his longing and strong affection, causing her heart to clench painfully.

Jiang Chen paused, a faint smile appearing, as he nodded gently without explanation.

”What about your other fiancée?”

Qin Chaolan asked again.

”Separated!”

Jiang Chen’s mouth curved slightly, eyes filled with deeper affection as he turned his gaze northward.

”Jing Yi, wait for me. I will find you. You should be safe now, right?”

Jiang Chen murmured softly, ”I will train hard so that one day when I can protect you, when I can shield you from any harm in this Void Nether Realm, I will come for you. I will find you and never, ever leave you again!”

Seeing the deep feelings in Jiang Chen’s eyes, Qin Chaolan and Lin Yuyan both fell silent.

They were both women, and women are sensitive creatures. They could see that Jiang Chen’s love for his fiancée ran deeply through his very being, leaving no room in his heart for anyone else!

”Can you tell us about you and your fiancée?”

Qin Chaolan couldn’t help but ask, even though she saw the love in Jiang Chen’s eyes. She was still a bit unwilling to accept that her disciple, equally excellent, did not measure up somehow.

Jiang Chen showed a hint of surprise, looking strangely at Qin Chaolan.

Is Elder Qin really so nosy? Or are women naturally interested in other people’s romantic stories?

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen didn’t mind sharing the story of him and Ye Jingyi. Every time he recalled everything that happened between them, a feeling of pure happiness would rise from his heart.

”Back then, I came to the door as...”

Jiang Chen softly narrated their story, though he omitted some special things about Yuan Star. In his account, Ye Jingyi transformed into a girl from a small family in a remote area of the Void Nether Realm, while he was merely an ordinary mortal.

Listening to the twists and turns of love and hate, life and death, Qin Chaolan’s heart slowly sank.

Even Sang Zhenye couldn’t help but clutch his heart when he heard that Jiang Chen led the people of a village called Yuanxing Village in a desperate battle against invaders, eventually using Heavenly Momentum to kill the enemy before being swallowed by a spatial rift due to the enemy’s final strike.

Lin Yuyan exclaimed in surprise, tears already wetting her pretty face.

After hearing the story, Qin Chaolan understood that Lin Yuyan indeed stood no chance.

Too many touching stories had happened between Jiang Chen and his fiancée, which Lin Yuyan, who had just broken off from Jiang Chen, could not compare to.

Moreover, throughout the narrative, Jiang Chen’s eyes were filled with happiness and tenderness, with an involuntarily upturned mouth, which told Qin Chaolan how deeply Jiang Chen loved his fiancée.

This love had truly left no room in his heart for anyone else!
