Little Dragon Girl's Terrifying Combat Power

With a beauty at his side, though the green umbrella canopy obscured Little Dragon Girl's profile, passersby could not help showing a trace of envy toward Jiang Lin beside her.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Lin and the other two arrived at the entrance of Notting Academy.

Because Jiang Lin had not dealt with the aftermath after making his move last night, they could smell a pungent stench of decay from afar.

"Jiang Lin, what happened over there?"

Little Dragon Girl frowned and asked softly.

"Nothing. Just two flies died. Come on, let's go in."

Jiang Lin cast a cold glance at the gatehouse. Without explaining anything to Little Dragon Girl, he took out the keys he had gotten from Suke, unlocked the gate, and walked into the academy.

Just as Jiang Lin was about to take the two women straight to the cafeteria, two middle-aged men and a young man of around twenty-five approached from ahead.

All three wore the academy's teacher uniforms, clearly marking them as instructors from Notting Academy.

However, their expressions were all exceedingly grim. They had evidently discovered Suke's death.

"Hm, who are those?"

Seeing Jiang Lin's group walking in from the academy entrance, the young man immediately furrowed his brow and stepped forward.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

Since Jiang Lin was not wearing a student uniform and none of the three had seen him before, they had not immediately recognized him.

Jiang Lin, however, had no intention of concealing anything. He directly pulled out the ring of keys and spun it around his finger.

"I unlocked the gate and came in. What, did you think I flew in?"

"Those are Suke's keys. You... you killed Suke?"

A fierce look immediately appeared in the young man's eyes, and his voice turned icy.

The other two also looked at Jiang Lin with hostility.

"That's right. I killed Suke. What are you going to do about it?"

With Little Dragon Girl and Tian Yan beside him, Jiang Lin naturally feared none of the three, and his words became far more arrogant.

Suddenly, the young man seemed to recall something, and his gaze settled on Jiang Lin's face.

"You must be Jiang Lin. Recently, the only person who had a grudge against Suke and acted so ruthlessly was you."

When the man called out his name directly, Jiang Lin showed a hint of surprise. But he quickly guessed the man's identity as well.

"So, you're Xiao Yan?"

"That's right, I'm Xiao Yan—"

"But I'm curious. Since you knew who I was, why did you still dare kill Suke?"

"Did you think that just because you possess a High-grade Martial Soul, a Soul Scholar like you could cross three major realms and fight me?"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes. With a thought, a hideous one-eyed giant wolf emerged behind him, its body covered in pitch-black scales. It stood three meters tall at the shoulder, with a spiraling spike growing from its head.

Not only that, but four Soul Rings lit up beneath his feet—two yellow and two purple, precisely two hundred-year Soul Rings and two thousand-year Soul Rings.

A terrifying aura of soul power spread from him. Before Jiang Lin could react, Xiao Yan directly placed a hand on Jiang Lin's shoulder.

For a moment, Jiang Lin felt as though heavy iron chains had bound him, leaving him completely unable to move!

Even so, there was not the slightest fear on Jiang Lin's face, and his heart remained utterly calm.

"Heh, is that all you've got? And you dared provoke me with this?"

Seeing Jiang Lin completely unable to resist, Xiao Yan wore a mocking expression. But just as he was about to say something more, a cold voice directly interrupted him.

"Let him go!"

Following the voice, Xiao Yan saw Little Dragon Girl staring at him with icy eyes.

"Heh? You say let go, so I let go? Little girl, aren't you looking down on me a bit too much?"

A sneer appeared on Xiao Yan's face as the strength in his hand steadily increased. A faint series of cracking sounds immediately came from Jiang Lin's shoulder.

Seeing this, Little Dragon Girl said no more. With a thought, the rain around her suddenly froze in the sky, all turning into ice crystals. An extremely cold aura then enveloped the entire area, and the phantom of an Ice Dragon appeared behind her!

"What is that?"

"Not good, my Martial Soul—"

Xiao Yan and the two teachers beside him immediately frowned. He could actually feel his Black-Horned Night Wolf Martial Soul trembling—a reaction only a lower-ranked being would have when facing a superior one.

"I said, let him go!"

The coldness in Little Dragon Girl's voice deepened. Seeing that Xiao Yan still had not moved, she raised her slender hand, and the Ice Dragon phantom transformed directly into a crystalline ice sword carved with dragon patterns before slashing diagonally down at Xiao Yan!

The next instant, a thirty-foot sword aura containing ultimate frost shot forth. Xiao Yan's face instantly filled with terror. He leaped backward and hurriedly had his Martial Soul possess him.

"Third Soul Skill, Myriad Phantom Images!"

In an instant, Xiao Yan's figure split into a hundred phantoms on the spot, all fleeing desperately in different directions.

Little Dragon Girl frowned slightly. Just as she thought the strike would hit empty air, Tian Yan's voice slowly sounded beside her ear.

"Little sister Long'er, his true body is at your nine o'clock."

"Sister Tian Yan?"

A trace of confusion appeared in Little Dragon Girl's eyes, but she still chose to follow Tian Yan's advice and swung the crystalline ice sword in that direction once more.

"Ah!"

"How is that possible? How could you identify my true body?!"

A scream rang out. The fleeing phantoms immediately dissipated, while Xiao Yan's sole true body fell from midair and slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Was that Autumn-Water Clear Eyes?"

Jiang Lin, who had already broken free, showed a thoughtful expression.

In The Qin Empire, Tian Yan's talent had allowed her to see the flow of qi through Wei Zhuang's and the others' meridians. Now that she had come to this world and been enhanced by the system, seeing through Xiao Yan's Soul Skill should have been effortless.

"Jiang Lin, are you all right?"

Little Dragon Girl came before Jiang Lin, concern visible in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Sister Long. I'm fine."

"But Xiao Yan is probably in serious trouble."

A mocking smile appeared on Jiang Lin's face. Did Xiao Yan really think Little Dragon Girl and Tian Yan at his side were just decorations?

The three then came before Xiao Yan. Even though he had been mentally prepared, Jiang Lin was still somewhat stunned when he saw the figure in the large crater.

A sword wound nearly twenty inches long had almost pierced straight through Xiao Yan's entire body. Moreover, ice crystals radiating bone-chilling cold were spreading through him. Within only a few minutes, nearly all the blood in Xiao Yan's body had frozen, and in that short time, his aura had already plummeted to its lowest point.

"Sister Long, your strength seems to have exceeded my expectations."

Seeing Xiao Yan in such a miserable state, Jiang Lin clicked his tongue, his eyes filled with shock.

He had originally thought that, even with the Frost Dragon Soul's enhancement, Little Dragon Girl would at most be able to contend with a Soul Ancestor like Xiao Yan without falling behind. Yet who could have expected Little Dragon Girl to crush Xiao Yan outright with a single strike!
