The City Lord's Request, Wang Lingxi Has Something to Say

After all, the Heavenly Dragon Body Tempering Art had been derived from an epiphany about the Twelve Body Tempering Forms.

The Twelve Body Tempering Forms had originally been far too low in level.

That was true not just for the Heavenly Dragon Body Tempering Art.

Even the Mighty Bull Demon Fist and Flowing Light Shadow Steps were somewhat inadequate.

Perhaps, if he used them repeatedly, God-Level Comprehension might produce even better combat techniques through epiphanies.

In Dragon Country, body tempering arts and combat techniques were naturally divided into grades.

Elementary, intermediate, advanced, super, general, king, saint, and so on.

The Twelve Body Tempering Forms was an elementary body tempering art.

It was perfectly normal for students to cultivate an elementary body tempering art.

Higher-grade body tempering arts were difficult to comprehend, and cultivating them might only have the opposite effect.

After the Twelve Body Tempering Forms had undergone an epiphany through God-Level Comprehension, it had no specific grade.

But Ye Nan knew that if it had been a higher-grade body tempering art, the result of an epiphany through God-Level Comprehension would surely have been better.

"City Lord, let's find somewhere to talk, then."

Ye Nan spoke to City Lord Sun Wu.

Hearing Ye Nan's words, City Lord Sun Wu knew that he had agreed.

"All right."

After answering, City Lord Sun Wu went over to Principal Wang Mingguo.

"Principal Wang, Ye Nan and I have something to discuss. Find us a place, please."

"Certainly, City Lord."

After hearing the city lord, Wang Mingguo immediately led Ye Nan and the city lord away.

When they reached a meeting room, Wang Mingguo asked City Lord Sun Wu:

"City Lord, will this place do?"

"It's fine. You can leave us now."

City Lord Sun Wu spoke to Wang Mingguo.

Wang Mingguo was inwardly surprised by the city lord's words.

As he saw it, he should have been able to listen to the conversation between the city lord and Ye Nan.

But the city lord had told him to leave, so one could imagine how important the conversation was.

Wang Mingguo promptly left the meeting room.

After Wang Mingguo had left, City Lord Sun Wu said to Ye Nan:

"Ye Nan, I assume you know about Hailin City."

"Hailin City?"

Ye Nan was somewhat puzzled by the city lord's words.

He certainly knew Hailin City. It was the city next to Jiangcheng.

Compared with Jiangcheng, Hailin City was somewhat superior in both scale and other respects.

"City Lord, I know Hailin City, but Jiangcheng doesn't seem to have much to do with it, does it?"

Ye Nan looked at the city lord in confusion.

"Originally, it didn't, but a starstone mine was recently discovered at the border between our Jiangcheng and Hailin City."

"Hailin City proposed that each side find a student who had just taken the college entrance exam to fight."

"Whoever wins will gain control of the starstone mine."

Hearing the city lord's words, Ye Nan understood.

So that was why the city lord had come to him.

Logically speaking, for Hailin City to propose such a condition...

It had to be certain of victory. In previous years, the quality of Jiangcheng's college entrance examinees had been no match for Hailin City's.

"City Lord, if I defeat the genius Hailin City sends out, will I receive a reward?"

Ye Nan asked the city lord.

He knew that, with his current combat power, defeating a genius from Hailin City would be all too easy.

This was a practical age. He would see what reward was on offer first.

"Ye Nan, why don't you tell me what you need?"

Seeing how blunt Ye Nan was, City Lord Sun Wu asked him in turn.

"A body tempering art, I suppose."

Ye Nan spoke.

"We have a general-grade body tempering art in the city lord's manor, though I don't know whether it will suit you."

Seeing that Ye Nan only wanted a body tempering art, City Lord Sun Wu smiled inwardly.

In his view, a body tempering art was no trouble at all.

A general-grade body tempering art?

Ye Nan's eyes lit up.

He thought that if he had a general-grade body tempering art, combined with an epiphany through God-Level Comprehension,

the result would surely be much better than the Heavenly Dragon Body Tempering Art.

"City Lord, just send someone to fetch me when the time comes."

Ye Nan smiled calmly.

"All right."

Hearing Ye Nan's answer, City Lord Sun Wu nodded in agreement.

He knew that as long as Ye Nan was willing to help, the nebulite mine they were contesting with Hailin City would surely be theirs.

Ye Nan and City Lord Sun Wu then left the meeting room.

Principal Wang Mingguo was waiting not far outside the meeting room.

When Wang Mingguo saw Ye Nan and the city lord come out, he immediately went over to them.

"City Lord, have you finished your discussion?"

"Yes."

City Lord Sun Wu nodded at Wang Mingguo.

"City Lord, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

Sun Wu looked at Wang Mingguo in puzzlement, wondering what he wanted to tell him.

"Ye Nan and Wang Lingxi's combat power is too high, so the school hasn't prepared any suitable ferocious beasts. As for the practical combat assessment..."

Wang Mingguo did not continue.

Hearing Wang Mingguo's words, Sun Wu understood.

"How about this? I'll take them into the wilderness outside Jiangcheng for the practical combat assessment."

"Thank you, City Lord."

Hearing the city lord's offer, Wang Mingguo immediately broke into a smile.

"Ye Nan, let's go into the wilderness for the practical combat assessment tomorrow."

City Lord Sun Wu spoke to Ye Nan.

"All right."

Ye Nan nodded.

"Go and tell Wang Lingxi."

After giving Ye Nan that instruction, Sun Wu left.

Sun Wu's words made Ye Nan think of Wang Lingxi.

As things stood, the person Wang Lingxi had come to Jiangcheng to find was most likely him.

And he had displayed a staggering combat power of 80,000 during the college entrance exam.

She wasn't really going to treat me as her husband and throw herself at me, was she?

He really didn't want any damn romance right now. All he wanted was to cultivate.

Please don't let it be like that.

After Ye Nan left, it did not take him long to find Wang Lingxi.

He felt it was better to clear some things up.

Wang Lingxi had not expected Ye Nan to seek her out on his own.

"Ye Nan, I..."

"The city lord said he'd take us into the wilderness for the practical combat assessment tomorrow. Get ready."

"Okay."

Hearing what Ye Nan had come to say, Wang Lingxi immediately agreed.

"You must have something you want to say to me, right? Go ahead, then."

After saying that, Ye Nan spoke to Wang Lingxi again.

He thought to himself that Wang Lingxi had come to Jiangcheng from a major city to find someone.

He didn't believe Wang Lingxi had nothing to say to him.

"Ye Nan, I do have something to tell you..."

Seeing how direct Ye Nan was, Wang Lingxi bit her pearly teeth and said to him:

"Ye Nan, what I told you before about why I came to Jiangcheng was true."

"But..."

Seeing Wang Lingxi hesitate, Ye Nan said nothing and waited for her to continue.
