144: Chapter 174 Lu Shengnan's Heart

The commotion from the two fighting grew louder and louder until the palace was nearly leveled.

Jiang Ling's Divine Thunder was exceptionally destructive.

After cultivating the Yuqing Divine Thunder, Jiang Ling's World-Ending Divine Thunder Supernatural Ability truly achieved a qualitative leap.

The entire space was filled with powerful Divine Thunder.

The pink sword light from the Woman in White Clothes flew in from all directions, but it was all blocked by the Divine Thunder.

Coupled with the powerful vitality brought by the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique, Jiang Ling's strength had increased dozens of times over.

This Woman in White Clothes was a leader in terms of talent and martial arts, yet she was still unable to defeat Jiang Ling.

"The Great Xia truly is full of talented people!"

The Woman in White Clothes was shocked.

"If our Island Nation wants to compete with Great Xia, it will likely be very difficult!"

"We must unite with the God Worship Cult or other forces!"

Jiang Ling and the Woman in White Clothes fought for over an hour, yet there was still no clear winner.

"It's someone from the Island Nation!"

"That's the eldest Young Miss of the Island Nation's Ryūsei Family, Ryūsei Hyōsetsu!"

"I heard she's the strongest young person of this generation in the Island Nation!"

"She's only in her twenties and has already reached the Fifth Rank!"

"The Family's Legacy treasure saber, Senbonzakura, has perfectly fused with her. Combined with her SSS-rank talent, Cherry Blossom Dance, she is invincible!"

"I didn't expect her to actually be at a stalemate with this young man!"

...

Just then, a group of Martial Artists appeared nearby; it was the group from the Lu Family.

Looking at the battle between Jiang Ling and the Woman in White Clothes, Ryūsei Hyōsetsu, Lu Shengnan couldn't help but be incredibly shocked.

Had Jiang Ling's strength already reached this level?

How long had it been since they parted?

She had originally thought that after cultivating during this period, her strength had improved significantly and she could hold her own against Jiang Ling.

She hadn't expected Jiang Ling's cultivation speed to be so terrifying, having already left her so far behind.

She had also heard of this Ryūsei Hyōsetsu.

She believed that if she wanted to fight Ryūsei Hyōsetsu to a draw, it would take at least a few more years.

Yet the current Jiang Ling was already fighting Ryūsei Hyōsetsu to a standstill.

Truly a Prodigy!

"Shengnan, what is your relationship with this Jiang Ling like?"

A Martial Artist from the Lu Family asked Lu Shengnan at this moment.

"It's not bad!"

Lu Shengnan said, "What's wrong?"

"If it's not bad, then we can try to win over this Jiang Ling!" The Martial Artist said with a smile as he watched the battle between Jiang Ling and Ryūsei Hyōsetsu. "Hasn't he broken ties with his Family?"

"If we bring him into our Family, the benefits for us will be enormous!"

"That is indeed true!"

The other Martial Artists of the Lu Family nodded in agreement.

Jiang Ling's talent could be said to be rare in a hundred years. As long as he doesn't fall prematurely, he is certain to reach the Ninth-Rank Martial Saint Realm in the future.

Bringing such a super Genius into the Family would definitely make the Family's future much brighter.

"Then I can try!"

Lu Shengnan said thoughtfully, "He might not necessarily agree!"

"Why don't you just marry him and have him become a matrilocal son-in-law for our Lu Family?"

A Martial Artist spoke up.

"If we only give him the status of a Guest Elder in the Lu Family, he wouldn't really be considered one of our Lu Family's people!"

"Only through marriage can he be considered part of our Lu Family!"

...

Hearing this, Lu Shengnan was immediately embarrassed.

She didn't expect the Family's Martial Artists to say such a thing.

"This... how can this be?"

"Why not?" the Lu Family Martial Artists said one after another.

"As the heavens proud son of the Lu Family, you certainly won't be allowed to be married off in the future!"

"Since we need to recruit a son-in-law, isn't it better to bring in another heavens proud son?"

"Exactly!"

"Is there any matrilocal son-in-law in this world more suitable than Jiang Ling?"

"Shengnan, it's natural for men and women to marry when they come of age. There's no need to be shy!"

"This Jiang Ling's talent is rare in a hundred years, and he is so handsome; he is a perfect match for you!"

...

Lu Shengnan's face turned beet red. She stammered, wanting to refuse, but suddenly felt that what everyone said made sense.

She would have to get married sooner or later. If she didn't seize such a suitable person, she might regret it later.

"I'm stopping!"

At this moment, Ryūsei Hyōsetsu suddenly took a few steps back and looked at Jiang Ling, her eyes flickering. "We can't determine a winner; there's no point in continuing the fight!"

"We no longer want the things you obtained!"

Seeing Ryūsei Hyōsetsu sheathing her sword, Jiang Ling also stopped his attack.

However, he snorted coldly and said, "This is our Great Xia's territory. You won't get a single thing that belongs to our Great Xia!"

"Get lost immediately, or else I will keep hounding you!"

"Bakayaro! You brat, you've gone too far!" an Island Nation Martial Artist roared.

"Lu Shengnan!"

Jiang Ling turned to Lu Shengnan and said, "The things here belong to our Great Xia!"

"Among our own people, it doesn't matter who gets it, but we absolutely cannot let people from the Island Nation have it!"

"Let's drive them out together!"

Jiang Ling knew the opponents were not weak and he couldn't kill them all, so he could only speak of driving them out.

"Alright!"

Lu Shengnan nodded upon hearing Jiang Ling's words.

As one of the Four Great Families of Great Xia, the Lu Family also had a responsibility to protect Great Xia.

Ryūsei Hyōsetsu bringing the Ryūsei Family's Martial Artists to Great Xia was already a case of trespassing!

Seeing that the Lu Family intended to cooperate with Jiang Ling against them, Ryūsei Hyōsetsu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Her white samurai uniform fluttered in the wind like a blooming lily.

"The people of Great Xia truly are stingy!"

"It's just a Secret Realm; is there a need to be so petty?"

...

"In a while, we'll also go to your Island Nation's Secret Realms to plunder some resources. I hope you won't mind either!"

Jiang Ling said coldly.

"Forget it!"

Ryūsei Hyōsetsu waved her hand. "Although our Island Nation is not as vast and rich in resources as yours, we aren't that petty!"

"We will take our leave today!"

"We shall meet again in the future!"

...

After speaking, Ryūsei Hyōsetsu signaled to her subordinates, turned around, and walked toward the exit of the ancient city.

In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared.

"Even though they said they're leaving, they might still be hiding in the shadows waiting to ambush us!"

Jiang Ling approached Lu Shengnan and cautioned, "We still need to be careful in a bit."

"Mhm!" Lu Shengnan nodded and asked Jiang Ling, "Did you gain anything here?"

"A little!" Jiang Ling brandished the blood transformation divine saber in his hand. "This treasure saber is quite good; I got it from an Undead General!"

"It should be at least S-rank!"

"Oh?" Lu Shengnan also looked at Jiang Ling's treasure saber in surprise. "It is indeed good!"

"Congratulations!"

"Young friend Jiang Ling, our Shengnan has actually fallen for you at first sight but has been too shy to say it. We'll speak for her here—what do you think of her?"

A Martial Artist behind Lu Shengnan suddenly spoke up.
