Old Jack's Mortal Enemy!

About half an hour passed. Feeling her soul power fully replenished, Little Dragon Girl stopped circulating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and rose to her feet.

"Jiang Lin, I've recovered. Where are we going next?"

"Mm, Sister Long, I plan to return to Holy Soul Village first. Before leaving, I want to see Grandpa Jack one more time."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't be returning to the village for a very long time."

Xiao Wu asked, "Holy Soul Village? What kind of place is that? Is it your hometown, Jiang Lin?"

"Mm, yes. Although my past experiences there weren't exactly pleasant, Holy Soul Village is indeed where I grew up."

Little Dragon Girl asked, "Jiang Lin, shall we set out now?"

"Mm, let's go. But before we head back, we still need to buy some things..."

--

As the sun set, the outline of Holy Soul Village appeared in Jiang Lin's distant view.

Since he had returned this time only for Old Jack, Jiang Lin led the group down a small path directly to Old Jack's house.

Sensing the familiar auras of several Shadow Ninjas nearby, Jiang Lin relaxed slightly. It seemed the turmoil in Notting City had not reached this place yet.

Jiang Lin then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Grandpa Jack, are you home? It's Jiang Lin—"

"Little Lin?"

Inside the room, Old Jack suddenly heard Jiang Lin's voice. For a moment, he thought he was hearing things, his face filled with disbelief.

After all, as far as he knew, Jiang Lin should still have been attending Notting Academy properly with Tang San.

After hesitating for a while, Old Jack ultimately could not suppress his curiosity. He went forward and opened the door, whereupon the figures of Jiang Lin and the other three appeared before him.

"Little Lin, why are you back so soon? Didn't you enter the academy just yesterday? Did something happen? Did the academy teachers expel you?"

"And besides Miss Long, who are these two?"

Seeing that Jiang Lin had truly appeared before him, Old Jack was flooded with questions and blurted them all out at once.

Jiang Lin was not bothered by this. The truth was destined to remain untold, so he immediately put his past-life talent for making up stories to use.

"Grandpa Jack, this is what happened—"

"Last night, this Sister Tian Yan found me through the bloodline aura on my body. She said I was a descendant of the reclusive Jiang Clan who had been left outside."

"She came out this time specifically to bring me back to the clan and acknowledge my ancestry."

"Moreover, this sister is extremely powerful. Even the headmaster of Notting Academy is no match for her. So I wanted to take her as my master and follow her to the Jiang Clan's territory to study properly..."

"So I came back this time to say farewell to you, Grandpa Jack. Once I leave, I probably won't return here for a very long time."

Upon hearing this, the people beside Jiang Lin all showed slight surprise. Yet without prior discussion, none of them chose to expose his lie.

"Little Lin, I never expected you to have such a background!"

Old Jack's face was filled with shock. Though he still had some doubts, as long as Jiang Lin's future continued to improve, he no longer intended to pry.

"Oh, right, Grandpa Jack. Besides wanting to say goodbye, I have another question for you this time."

"Oh?"

"What question? Go ahead and ask, Little Lin."

A trace of surprise appeared on Old Jack's face.

Hearing this, Jiang Lin no longer hesitated and directly asked the question from before.

"Grandpa Jack, which faction did that young master who stole your soul beast and seriously injured you come from?"

"My identity is no longer what it once was, Grandpa Jack. I think I should be qualified to know their specific information now."

"This... sigh, Little Lin, knowing too much won't do you any good. As long as you can live well, Grandpa would rather you never come into contact with that faction."

"So please forgive Grandpa for not being able to answer this question."

Old Jack shook his head. Even though he believed Tian Yan's strength far surpassed that of Notting Academy's headmaster, he had no intention of revealing anything.

Clearly, in his heart, Tian Yan's strength alone was still nowhere near sufficient to come into contact with that faction.

Seeing this, Jiang Lin immediately frowned.

It seemed the mysterious faction that had rendered Old Jack so tight-lipped was truly no simple matter.

However, Jiang Lin had no intention of giving up so easily. He directly revealed his other Martial Soul.

The next moment, a pale golden flame blazed fiercely in Jiang Lin's palm. It was the Pure Yang Flame that Jiang Lin had only used a few times.

"Little Lin, this is...!"

Feeling the terrifying power contained within the Pure Yang Flame, Old Jack's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Grandpa Jack, I deliberately concealed something during my Martial Soul Awakening. I didn't awaken just one High-grade Martial Soul, but Twin High-grade Martial Souls. Not only that, I also possess Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Grandpa Jack, you should understand what this means. As long as I don't die, I will definitely become an unparalleled powerhouse such as a Soul Douluo or even a Titled Douluo in the future!"

"So you really don't need to worry about me, Grandpa Jack. And the reason I want to know about that faction now is merely so I can be prepared."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Jack. After learning their specific information, I definitely won't rush over recklessly. I'll only seek revenge for you once my strength is completely sufficient!"

"So, Grandpa Jack, please tell me. If you still have any concerns, please say them."

"Phew—"

Seeing how sincere Jiang Lin was, Old Jack's eyes grew slightly moist. He could not help but sigh and no longer objected.

"Since you have such intentions, Little Lin, then Grandpa will tell you."

"Everyone knows that Douluo Continent has seven great top sects, divided into the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects."

"The faction that injured me was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, known as the continent's number one beast Martial Soul!"

"There are countless Soul Saint experts within the sect, and even several powerhouses at the Soul Douluo realm."

"Not only that, the current sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, Yu Yuanzhen, is an unparalleled powerhouse at Rank 95, known as the Thunderclap Douluo!"

"And the one who injured me decades ago was Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, Yu Yuanpo!"

"With that man's talent, he probably entered the Soul Douluo realm years ago."

"Yu Yuanpo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect?"

This person had never appeared in the original story. Could he also be one of the changes caused by my transmigration?

A trace of solemnity appeared on Jiang Lin's face. It seemed that even if he did not actively change those plotlines, some would still shift on their own because of his arrival!

After a brief silence, Jiang Lin raised his head and spoke seriously to Old Jack.

"Grandpa Jack, I understand. Don't worry. Once I grow strong enough, I will definitely make Yu Yuanpo kneel and apologize to you!"

Jiang Lin's voice was firm and resolute. Ever since Jiang Lin was one or two years old, Old Jack had often brought him food, helping and caring for him.

Now that he knew who Old Jack's enemy was, Jiang Lin could never stand by and do nothing after all the kindness Old Jack had shown him over the years!
