Chapter 81
One day, Jiang Chen was practicing on the Redcloud Peak. He had enhanced his state again by achieving the beginning of the late stage of the Gathering Yuan State.
The whole process was easy and smooth for him. It had been less than one month since he came back from the Transdragon Pool and he had been advancing by leaps and bounds.
“I’ve taken full advantage of the Transdragon Pool. I won’t be able to advance so fast from the late stage to the Mental Wander State,” Jiang Chen thought with some pity.
With his age, state, and martial arts technique level, Jiang Chen was the best of the best, even among senior disciples.
However, as a disciple of the Natural Law School, as long as he hadn’t achieved the Mental Wander State, he wouldn’t be regarded as fully developed.
I should leave this place to experience some adventures and fulfill some tasks before attempting another breakthrough.
Jiang Chen was about to prepare for a trip after making up his mind, but suddenly he heard some shouts from outside.
The air ships flew towards Jiang Chen and Li Song on the latter’s order. Each pair of the ships had ten yards of space between them and the ship below them so that a staircase leading to the upper sky was formed.
“Here is your controlling flag.”
Li Song gave Jiang Chen a small flag and jumped onto the airships one by one. It didn’t take him long to get very high.
When he arrived at the highest ship, the ships below flew up so that the stair could continue.
Li Song kept on climbing without hesitation. Soon his figure became vague. The height looked scary. Anyone who fell down from that height would be smashed into pieces.
After confirming the controlling flag was working fine, Jiang Chen jumped onto the airships as well to catch up with Li Song.
“Watch out!” Wen Xin said. Her voice was so low that she doubted whether Jiang Chen had heard her.
Suddenly, a girl jumped onto her airship and stopped before Wen Xin, sizing her up with an unreadable expression.
That was the girl who had made eye contact with Wen Xin.
She was a very pretty girl, about the same age as Wen Xin. She was wearing the junior disciples’ uniform.
Her features weren’t as delicate as Wen Xin’s and she was less glamorous, but she had a nice figure, busty and well-shaped.
“My younger sister, you really have a poor taste,” although she was beaming, her tone was full of sarcasm.
“And you are stupid. That’s even worse. Ning Haotian’s fiancée is the king’s daughter. We’re only the duke’s daughters. You’ll endanger yourself,” Wen Xin said coldly.
“The mission was assigned by the dynasty. Why should I worry about it? Besides, men are all the same. Although Ning Haotian has a fiancée, he tried to pursue Li Xue’er, but she ignored him.” The girl smiled disapprovingly. She was young and attractive. Her every smile was eye-catching.
The Natural Law School was located in the territory of the Xia Dynasty, but the dynasty felt threatened by its power.
They both knew they couldn’t fight against each other due to the current situation of the Fire Field.
However, the dynasty was unwilling to see the school getting stronger and stronger.
Besides, most of the disciples of the school were from the Chu State, which made the Natural Law School even more threatening, so the dynasty had sent many spies to the school.
Even so, the dynasty still didn’t feel secure enough, so they sent princesses from all regions to get into the school and stay close to its promising disciples who could become key disciples one day, or even leaders.
Once they succeeded, the dynasty would be able to keep informed of the secret information of the school.
This girl was Princess Tian Lan. She had targeted Ning Haotian as a potential disciple. It was a smart choice, but it was also difficult, since Ning Haotian was a tough guy.
Princess Tian Lan thought Wen Xin was staying with Jiang Chen because she had also targeted him as a dark horse.
Wen Xin and Tian Lan had chosen two opposite paths.
Ning Haotian had the potential to become a key member of the Natural Law School, but it would be extremely difficult to get close to him.
Jiang Chen was isolated in the school. It was easy for Wen Xin to gain his trust, but what were the chances for him to become a key member?
Therefore, Tian Lan turned up her nose at Wen Xin’s choice.
