Inside the dean's office at the Yunyao Branch Academy.
Ling Yi sat facing a graceful and elegant middle-aged woman.
This is Lin Xiaoxiao's mother, Lin Yun, the dean of the Xiyao Branch Academy, a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Spirit God Realm.
" Ling Yi, can you tell me about your background? I've checked your identity, but apart from your sudden appearance at Emerald Peak Mountain a few months ago, there's no other information."
"I only have one daughter, Xiaoxiao. I've investigated everyone around Xiaoxiao, not just you. I hope you can understand."
Having lived two lives, Ling Yi naturally wouldn't get angry over such a thing. As a mother, she could never be too protective of her daughter.
After hesitating for a moment, Ling Yi said, "I Ascension from the lower realm."
Lin Yun suddenly realized, "No wonder!"
However, Lin Yun didn't ask Ling Yi which small world Ascension from, since there were too many small worlds that had established Teleport channels with the Nine Palaces Realm.
"I can't see through your strength. Do you have some kind of Aura, or have you cultivated some kind of technique? Of course, you don't have to tell me; I'm just curious."
"It's a problem with my system." Ling Yi couldn't very well say it was because of the system, so he gave a random explanation.
Whether he believes it or not is none of his business.
"Can you tell me what your current strength is?" Lin Yun asked again.
Ling Yi sensed no malice from Lin Yun, so she was simply curious.
Moreover... Ling Yi glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was blushing and acting like a little girl next to Lin Yun, and immediately felt like a mother-in-law questioning her son-in-law.
"I don't have a concrete assessment of my strength, after all, I come from the lower realm, and many of my cultivation techniques differ greatly from those of the Nine Palaces Realm."
How should I put it? Does it mean I'm invincible in this world and have reached the Ascension Realm? Just give me a vague answer to fool me.
Like I said before, I'm just saying whatever comes to mind; whether you believe me or not is none of my business!
Lin Yun stared at Ling Yi for a long time. She could sense that Ling Yi was hiding something, which made Lin Yun even more curious about Ling Yi.
"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen a genius from the lower realm Ascension the Nine Palaces Realm."
Lin Yun stood up, and with a flick of her wrist, an array plate appeared in her hand.
Hmm, what does this mean? Looking at this incredibly familiar array plate, Ling Yi had a bad feeling.
The next moment, Lin Yun made a gesture in the air, and a Teleport Gate portal appeared out of thin air.
"Come with me!"
As Lin Yun spoke, she stepped into the Teleport Gate.
Ling Yi glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Xiaoxiao giggled and said, "It's been so long since I've seen Mom take action!"
Ling Yi: "..."
Lin Xiaoxiao came up behind Ling Yi and pushed him into the Teleport Gate together.
This is a Death Qi world.
The sky was dark and devoid of sunlight, the air was filled with a putrid smell, the earth was parched and cracked, and for thousands of miles around, there was no Aura of life.
Lin Yun, however, had somehow changed into a fiery red battle armor and was wielding a long, red spear that burned like Huoyan.
This Changes is too drastic!
If Lin Yun was a gentle older sister before, she is now a female God of War.
The visuals, the special effects, and the starkly contrasting scenes—wow, just one word: amazing!
" Ling Yi, fight me. If you satisfy me, I will no longer interfere in your relationship with Xiaoxiao."
"Dean Lin, have you misunderstood something?"
"What, you don't like my Xiaoxiao? Or do you think Xiaoxiao isn't good enough for you?"
How am I supposed to answer that? Ling Yi has absolutely no feelings for Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xiaoxiao stamped her foot, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Tch, you're my daughter, don't I know what you're thinking? I've never seen you blush when you're with other boys," Lin Yun said.
"Mom, don't make things difficult for Ling Yi, he..."
"Shut up!" Lin Yun snapped.
He brandished his spear, pointing the tip at Ling Yi, and said, " Ling Yi, make your move!"
Ling Yi felt like he was being set up, and he didn't like that feeling.
Since that's the case, then don't blame yourself.
"Then, Dean Lin, you'd better watch out." Ling Yi sneered.
" Thunder!" Ling Yi shouted in a low voice.
Instantly, Ling Yi was enveloped in Berserk Lightning, looking as if the Thor had descended.
"This kid has indeed mastered the Thunder Divine Ability, but why can't I still Perception the other party's cultivation level?"
Lin Yun became more serious; the Thunder power emanating from Ling Yi made her extremely wary.
" Dharma Body!" Ling Yi shouted again.
"Sizzle!"
A surge of Berserk Lightning energy coalesced behind Ling Yi, and after a moment, a giant of Thunder, over ten meters tall and with a face almost identical to Ling Yi's, gradually took shape.
Ling Yi waved his arms a few times, and Ling Yi Thunder giant followed suit, waving its arms a few times in return.
The enormous fist Air Breaking with a terrifying roar, seemingly Rend.
But this is still not over. You want to see my strength? Well, then I'll let you see it to your heart's content.
" Clone!" Ling Yi shouted again.
To the astonishment of Lin Yun and her daughter, one after another, Ling Yi Ling Yi's Clone appeared behind him.
Most importantly, even the Thunder Giant Clone into multiple copies.
Eighteen Clone, each with a Thunder Dharma Body behind Clone, plus Ling Yi himself, the entire world seemed to tremble due to the aura emanating from these nineteen Thunder Dharma Body.
"It can't be real!" Lin Yun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
But she couldn't tell which of these Clone was real and which was fake. Were they all real?
That's so fake!
It seems I might be outmatched, or is Ling Yi just bluffing?
"Fancy and frivolous!" Lin Yun gritted her teeth and charged straight at Ling Yi.
With a swing of his spear, surging Spiritual Power burst forth, instantly forming six fire dragons that hurtled towards Ling Yi's Clone.
" Thunder, break!" Several Clone stepped forward, and the Thunder Dharma Body behind them made the same move, then threw punches.
"Bang bang bang..."
The six fire dragons were instantly destroyed.
Lin Yun abruptly stopped, staring at Ling Yi in disbelief and asking, "Are all these Clone of yours real?"
"Yes, their strength is comparable to my own."
"How is that possible? If that were true, wouldn't your Clone Divine Ability be invincible?"
"Haha, Dean Lin, please forgive me."
Ling Yi's main body and eighteen Clone thunderously charged towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun was shocked. How could this guy's strength be so outrageous?
She quickly retreated, and at the same time, after a moment of preparation, she thrust out her spear.
" Huoyan Assault!"
"Boom!"
A massive, crimson beam of light erupted from the tip of the spear, striking one of the Thunder Clone directly.
" Thunder, Shield!"
The Thunder Clone raised its left arm, and a shield of Thunder instantly formed.
"Sizzle!"
The crimson light struck the Thunder Shield, producing an unpleasant scraping sound, and both the crimson light and the Thunder Shield disappeared almost simultaneously.
Lin Yun's attack was quite powerful.
" Thunder, Flash!" Ling Yi roared again, his Thunder Dharma Body accelerating rapidly, instantly surrounding Lin Yun.
Lin Yun stood amidst the giants, appearing pitiful, weak, and helpless.
She pouted. How could she possibly fight him? This kid was invincible.
"I..." Since there's no way to fight, I might as well say a few polite words and admit defeat.
" Thunder, Slash!"
But before she could finish speaking, all the Thunder Dharma Body made a grasping motion with their right hands, and a giant Thunder Greatsword appeared out of thin air. Then, with unparalleled force, it slashed down at Lin Yun.
"No!" Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been watching the commotion from a distance, exclaimed in alarm.
But the next moment, all the Thunder Dharma Body disappeared, and Ling Yi's Clone also vanished.
Lin Yun, on the other hand, stood perfectly unharmed in the same spot.
However, Lin Yun now needs to be prefixed with " Blood Shadow ".
"Stand by the rules!" Ling Yi reminded him Voice Transmission.
Lin Yun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart, and said, "Heroes emerge from among the young, Ling Yi, your current strength is enough to make you stand out among all the prodigies."
"You flatter me; I was merely taking a shortcut."
"Mom, are you alright?" Lin Xiaoxiao ran over and asked with concern.
"It's alright, I'm at the eighth level of the Spirit God Realm, how could anything happen to me?"
"Oh!" Lin Xiaoxiao felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
At this moment, Lin Yun's armor suddenly changed, and she reverted to her previous attire as a noblewoman.
That transformation effect is awesome! I'll get one for myself sometime, not for anything else, just to look cool.
"Since you are capable enough, then I shouldn't have hidden it from you," Lin Yun said with a sigh.
"You know that the Asgard Academy's secret treasure vault was completely looted, right?"
"I did it, of course I know, "Ling Yi nodded.
"This matter has alarmed several major Asgard, and each of them has dispatched high-ranking Asgard to White Moon City to investigate."
"The nearest Penglai Asgard, will arrive first in two days, and the leader of the team will be Xu Nuo, the son of the palace master of Penglai Asgard!"
"Could it be that Xu Nuo is Lin Xiaoxiao's suitor?"
"He's my fiancé!" Lin Yun emphasized.
"Hmph, what fiancé? I don't acknowledge him at all," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a look of disgust.
It really was a huge trap.
He glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao. Hmm, this girl probably doesn't have the brains to scheme against him. It seems that Lin Yun was the one who started this Digging in the first place.
" Xu Nuo is arrogant, domineering, and stupid. Xiaoxiao must not marry such trash!"
"But Xu Nuo's identity is special after all, so it wouldn't be good to refuse him outright. If a Li Qiang young man, as Xiaoxiao's boyfriend, were to defeat him, then Xu Nuo would naturally have nothing to say."
"So, you're planning to drag me into this mess?"
"Ahem, although he is the son of the Palace Master of Penglai Asgard, Yunyao Asgard is not weak either. Xu Nuo naturally wouldn't dare to use force. At that time, in the name of Yunyao Asgard, we can naturally protect you."
"Do you believe that?" Ling Yi rolled her eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to ruin Xiaoxiao's happiness."
Ling Yi Voice Transmission to Lin Yun: "Tell me Xu Nuo's current location, and I'll have him killed instantly."
"Is this... is this alright? If his father finds out, we'll be in big trouble," Lin Yun said worriedly Voice Transmission.
"Since those mysterious people dared to plunder the secret treasure vault of the Asgard Academy, it's only natural that they'd kill a cocky fool, right?"
Lin Yun's eyes lit up; this made perfect sense.
