Chapter 128
Jiang Chen stayed in his room that night. The next day would be his fight against Li Qin.
He had practiced a secret method to deal with Li Qin’s flying. He had also mastered the full spirit of the sword, so he didn’t have much to worry about.
However, he still wanted to put in more effort. After all, this would be a fight for life and death. He had to take extra precautions.
Li Qin was supposed to be expelled from the school and lose all of her achievements. I was the one who challenged her. The only way to satisfy myself is to win.
With this thought, Jiang Chen started to focus on Tai Ji Wan.
This was a secret method practiced only by people in the Mental Wander State. It had helped him a lot before.
But, Jiang Chen suddenly felt it wasn’t for him.
He saw the face under the messy hair. That guy wasn’t Jiang Qingyu. It wasn’t his father.
The disturbance aroused more reactions. The rattling of chains came from other directions.
Not until then did Jiang Chen notice that there were many people chained in the same manner along the stone wall. Some of the slopes were so steep that the prisoner kept sliding down even though their hands were shackled by the iron chains.
“Calm down,” Su Xiuyi said with pity, then he was too busy staring below to comfort Jiang Chen, as if he saw an enemy.
Two giant fireballs had been burning down there for as long as he had cared to notice. He identified a pair of eyes in the fire.
Yes, a pair of eyes, even bigger than Jiang Chen’s body.
They were dashing up towards them at a high speed. Jiang Chen almost cried out of surprise and fear when he saw its face.
A dragon!
The giant dragon’s body was whirling in the void, sometimes visible, sometimes not. Its black scales looked like steel.
It turned out that there was a dragon in the Black Dragon Pool!
A black dragon!
“Blackie, don’t get excited! We’re here to visit someone. This place is a prison. People are allowed to visit their families and friends, aren’t they?” Su Xiuyi said.
His words worked. The black dragon stopped moving up.
The black dragon opened its mouth.
“But you were supposed to be here the day after tomorrow.”
The voice of the dragon was very magnetic, and it knew how to use emphasis while speaking, although listeners wouldn’t be able to tell its gender.
“Plans always change,” Su Xiuyi said.
“Come on.”
The black dragon stopped speaking and retreated to the bottom of the Black Dragon Pool.
“This is a dragon spirit. The dragon was killed a thousand years ago by a powerful man from the Nings, second-to-none. He took its soul and kept it in the Black Dragon Pool to overpower the other forces. It’s a pity that the Nings are steadily declining. They’ve been relying on what their ancestors left them for a thousand years.”
Jiang Chen didn’t know how to answer him. Since the Dragons had closed the Dragon Realm 500 years ago, there were no more real dragons in this world anymore. He hadn’t expected to have seen a black dragon here that symbolized ferocious dragon.
Although it was only a dragon spirit, he felt suffocated.
The two kept travelling downward. A wind had started blowing at some point that sounded even worse than the wind of the Lost Soul of the Natural Law School.
It didn’t only sound terrible, but could also be lethal. It kept squeezing the rays of twilight coming from the outside.
“It’s called black wind. People imprisoned at this depth suffer from its torture days and nights.
“Here we are,” Su Xiuyi said again, before Jiang Chen had any time to comprehend his words.
He followed Su Xiuyi’s look and saw a familiar figure from his memory.
His hair was dishevelled and his clothes were ragged. Many of his wounds had gotten infected.
Unlike the others, he hadn’t lost his senses yet. He was sitting on a stone slope slanted more than 40 degrees, his eyes slightly closed.
When he sensed someone approaching, he opened his eyes slowly and saw Jiang Chen.
“Son!”
