126: The old dog returns!
"Ranran, let me ask you a question," Shen Xingyu asked Lin Qingran seriously.
Lin Qingran tilted her head at him upon hearing his words.
"Can someone have a very low sense of presence? For example, that person is right in front of you, but it might take you a moment to even notice them."
Lin Qingran pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded, "It seems there really is such a thing."
Shen Xingyu's question reminded her of a girl she had met in her previous life.
Then she said, "There is a type of person with a special Physique. Ancient texts record that such people are close to the Dao, and when quiet, they can easily merge with their surroundings, making their sense of presence very, very low."
Shen Xingyu's furrowed brow relaxed a bit upon hearing this. Could Lin Zhiyun be that kind of special Physique?
Seeing Shen Xingyu's expression, Lin Qingran couldn't help but ask him, "That friend you met...?"
Shen Xingyu nodded, "The friend I just greeted, I feel like she's a bit like what you described."
Lin Qingran's eyebrows raised upon hearing this. Could the person he was talking about be the girl she met in her previous life?
However, she couldn't remember her name.
"Find an opportunity to introduce me to her," Lin Qingran said.
Shen Xingyu nodded, "Okay, we can do it now."
With that, Shen Xingyu looked up towards Lin Zhiyun's original spot, but she had completely vanished.
Shen Xingyu grinned, "Alright, next time then."
...
At this moment, the match on the field had entered a white-hot stage.
Both sides had pulled back, facing each other from a distance.
"Little sister, fighting like this isn't going to work. We've exchanged hundreds of moves. How about we decide the winner with one move?"
Li Xuantong said to Lin Menglan, who was opposite him.
Lin Menglan adjusted her state and nodded at him.
In an instant, all the spectators held their breath, the main event was about to begin!
Shen Xingyu and Lin Qingran also looked towards the arena.
Li Xuantong let out a loud roar, and a powerful Aura emanated from him. The floor beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and thick spiritual energy fluctuations rose from his two Dragon Claws.
In the audience, someone couldn't help but exclaim, "It's Li Xuantong's signature combat technique, Eight Desolations Divine Break."
"Good heavens, Li Xuantong really doesn't know how to be gentle with women."
"I guess Lin Menglan is going to lose this time."
The audience was buzzing with discussions.
On the stage.
Lin Menglan smiled slightly at the sight. She had done a lot of preparation during this time to counter Li Xuantong's move.
Then, Lin Menglan soared into the air, and a clear Phoenix cry resounded through the sky.
In an instant, an extreme heat swept across the entire arena.
Lin Menglan transformed into a fiery red Phoenix and directly charged towards Li Xuantong below.
The two collided in an instant, and the spiritual energy fluctuations produced made everyone below the stage gasp.
As expected of the top two on the Prodigy List, such fluctuations were almost comparable to a fourth-tier battle, right?
Then, under everyone's gaze, the two slowly pulled apart.
Li Xuantong gave a wry smile, "You actually managed to master that move."
Lin Menglan showed a beautiful smile upon hearing this, "Of course, this was specially prepared for you. Do you like it?"
Li Xuantong slowly exited his transformation state and said helplessly, "I lost."
This result instantly caused a huge stir on the field.
What happened? What did they miss?
Li Xuantong just lost like that?
At this moment, Li Xuantong's hands trembled slightly; the opponent's Samadhi True Fire had completely scorched his hands.
There was no need to continue fighting.
Lin Menglan slowly let out a breath upon hearing this, her large eyes now curved into crescent moons.
...
Looking at the result on the stage, Shen Xingyu couldn't help but look at Lin Qingran.
She really guessed correctly?!
Then, the two of them were going to make a fortune!
They bet 1200, and according to Lin Menglan's odds, they would at least double their money!
At this moment, Zhou Mingbai had already arrived in front of them.
He transferred the points to Shen Xingyu and Lin Qingran with great frustration.
"Junior, you two are really too lucky. You actually bet correctly."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xingyu looked at the number "1293" on his student ID and couldn't help but give Lin Qingran a big kiss on the cheek.
Lin Qingran rolled her eyes.
Zhou Mingbai immediately slipped away at the sight.
This was too much bullying...
Slaughtering single dogs!!
...
The competition officially came to an end.
Shen Xingyu and Lin Qingran then left the training ground and walked towards the cafeteria.
They hadn't eaten for the sake of watching the match.
But they hadn't walked far when a black figure suddenly blocked their way.
The bald old dog appeared in front of them, holding the Xuanyuan Sword in its mouth and covered in blood.
"Celestial Empress!"
Upon seeing Lin Qingran, the old dog respectfully greeted her.
Lin Qingran nodded at him.
Shen Xingyu raised an eyebrow upon seeing the old dog's miserable state.
"Hey, you're not going to die, are you? You haven't done what you promised me yet."
The old dog opened its mouth and spat out the Xuanyuan Sword, baring its teeth and saying, "You little brat, you can't control your mouth, can you? You're the one who's going to die!"
"This is all someone else's blood!"
Then, the old dog stopped wasting words with him and said directly, "Aren't you going to undergo a Fusion of your talents? Let's go, I just found a good place, where I can use the Formation there to help you with the Fusion."
Shen Xingyu's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
"Now?"
"Yes, right now! If we miss tonight, who knows how long we'll have to wait to find that place again," the old dog said.
Shen Xingyu immediately nodded, "Okay!"
Then Shen Xingyu looked at Lin Qingran.
"Ranran, why don't you go back first?"
Lin Qingran shook her head, "I'll go with you guys."
The old dog's eyes gleamed when he heard Lin Qingran's words. Then, without further ado, the old dog directly pulled out the Vajra Bowl.
After the two people and one dog boarded the Vajra Bowl, they swiftly flew out of the China Lingwu territory and deeper into the Spirit Realm.
...
China Lingwu backyard.
Zhuge Qing slowly walked out of the small house in the courtyard, looking at the golden streak of light streaking across the distant sky.
He cursed under his breath, "That damned dog! Every time it causes trouble, I have to clean up its mess!"
He had just received news that this damned dog had actually dug up the tombs of successive Clan Chiefs of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan!
The people of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan had directly reported it to him.
It really didn't give anyone peace of mind.
If you're going to do it, just do it, why expose yourself! No, your dog paws!
Thinking this, Zhuge Qing lowered his head and formed a hand seal. Suddenly, his expression changed.
"No way! That damned dog really found that place?"
Zhuge Qing dared not hesitate and immediately disappeared from his original spot.
