73: Chapter 73 This fortune is too enviable.

"You're not dead!" Jiang Ling was bewildered. "I was just walking the Sky Ladder inside for a few days!"

"Holy crap!"

"Everyone thought you were dead!"

"Your teacher, Zhao Kailai, even wiped out the Tianqi Guild for your sake!"

"And you actually came out alive!"

"Wait here, I'll go find you some clothes!"

...

Wearing new clothes and sporting a shiny bald head, Jiang Ling returned to the front of his villa.

"Holy crap!"

"My villa has been split in two!"

"It seems Teacher was truly very sad and angry at the time!"

"I should go find the old man and report to him!"

...

Walking down the street, Jiang Ling's big bald head was exceptionally eye-catching.

Especially after undergoing Divine Thunder Body Tempering, his entire body had been transformed; his skin was crystal clear like jade, and he was extraordinarily handsome, making people all the more curious.

"Where did such a handsome monk come from?"

"So handsome!"

"I wonder if this little master will ever return to secular life!"

"If he does, I'll definitely pursue him!"

"Why does this little monk look so familiar? It feels like I've seen him somewhere before?"

"I remember now, holy crap, isn't this Jiang Ling?"

"How is he alive again?"

"Jiang Ling? You've got to be kidding, right?"

"Is this really Jiang Ling?"

"Jiang Ling had hair, and he wasn't this good-looking either!"

...

Jiang Ling made his way to the front of Zhao Kailai's villa and rang the doorbell.

After a long while, the door finally opened.

It was Ye Honglian who opened the door!

During this time, Zhao Kailai's mood had been very low, and Ye Honglian had been staying with him.

When she opened the door and saw Jiang Ling, Ye Honglian froze instantly.

What was going on?

How did a bald guy who looked exactly like Jiang Ling show up?

"Senior Sister!"

Jiang Ling called out shyly.

"Hmm!"

"Ah?"

"Ghost!"

Ye Honglian screamed, retreating repeatedly, her eyes wide with terror.

"Hey! Senior Sister, it's me, not a ghost!"

"I'm not dead!"

Jiang Ling shouted helplessly.

"You… you're not dead?"

Ye Honglian stared at Jiang Ling for a long time before she finally reacted, bursting into tears of joy and rushing over to him.

"You're not dead, you're really not dead, that's wonderful!"

Being embraced by Ye Honglian's voluptuous body, Jiang Ling felt a wave of awkwardness and a flicker of desire.

After all, he was still a hot-blooded young man!

"Red Lotus, what's going on?"

"Why all the commotion?"

At this moment, Zhao Kailai also walked out from inside.

When he saw Jiang Ling, Zhao Kailai froze instantly.

"Teacher, I'm not dead, I've returned!"

Jiang Ling walked into the house, rubbing his bald head, and said embarrassedly.

"Returned… it's good that you returned… it's good that you returned…"

Zhao Kailai just nodded, not showing much emotion.

However, Ye Honglian clearly saw Zhao Kailai turn his head to wipe away tears.

The three of them sat down, and it took a long time for Zhao Kailai and Ye Honglian to calm down.

"Jiang Ling, what exactly happened inside?"

"Why are you only coming out now?"

After drinking some tea for a while, Zhao Kailai finally asked about what had happened inside.

"There wasn't anything special!"

Jiang Ling said with an innocent look, "I was just climbing the Sky Ladder inside!"

"Climbing the Sky Ladder? You've been climbing the Sky Ladder for these past few days?" Ye Honglian widened her eyes.

"Then how many levels did you climb?"

"I climbed to the top!" Jiang Ling said as if it were natural.

Pfft!

Pfft!

The tea in Zhao Kailai and Ye Honglian's mouths sprayed out at the same time.

"You… what did you say?"

"You climbed to the top of the Sky Ladder in that Creation Secret Realm?"

Both of them had disbelief in their eyes.

In the past, countless geniuses had climbed this Sky Ladder, but the record for this Sky Ladder was only forty-nine levels!

Jiang Ling had actually climbed to the top?

This was simply superhuman!

"Yeah!"

Jiang Ling nodded, rubbing his nose.

"Hiss!"

Zhao Kailai took a long, sharp breath. "Then… what Opportunity did you obtain after climbing to the top?"

The Sky Ladder inside the Creation Secret Realm was originally a massive Opportunity.

Climbing to a few dozen levels had allowed their bodies to undergo earth-shattering improvements; since Jiang Ling climbed to the top, the benefits he obtained must be even greater.

"Divine Thunder Body Tempering!"

Jiang Ling recounted the process of the Divine Thunder tempering his body at the top.

"It was actually Divine Thunder Body Tempering!"

"This benefit is a once-in-a-millennium Opportunity!"

"This Creation Secret Realm is truly extraordinary!"

"It's just a pity that we didn't have the fate for it!"

Zhao Kailai looked at Jiang Ling, his eyes full of envy.

His own Disciple was too much of a Prodigy!

"No wonder you turned out like this!"

Ye Honglian said with a giggle, rubbing Jiang Ling's bald head.

"Jiang Ling, you said you relied on the Black Tortoise Breathing Technique to reach the top of the Sky Ladder inside, so what level is your Black Tortoise Breathing Technique at now?"

Zhao Kailai asked again.

"Level 81!"

Jiang Ling said.

"Cough, cough…"

Zhao Kailai was nearly choked by his tea.

Jiang Ling climbed the Sky Ladder once, and his Black Tortoise Breathing Technique directly reached Level 81?

He himself had only just Cultivated to Level 72!

Ye Honglian felt even more inferior!

She had only Cultivated to Level 31!

Jiang Ling was truly too discouraging to others!

"Then… what about your Realm?"

Zhao Kailai asked again.

"I'm Level 22 now!"

Jiang Ling said.

"Cough, cough…"

Zhao Kailai coughed again.

How much time had passed?

When he first met Jiang Ling, Jiang Ling was only Level 14!

Yet in just these few months, he was already Level 22!

This rate of improvement was simply too frightening!

Ye Honglian looked even more aggrieved; this Junior Martial Brother wouldn't catch up to her soon, would he?

The pressure on her as a Senior Sister was simply too great!

"Follow me to the training room, let me see how much you've improved!"

Zhao Kailai had Jiang Ling follow him to the training room.

"Now, attack me with your strongest strength!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Ling nodded.

He took out his horizontal saber and slashed at Zhao Kailai with one blow.

He didn't hold back with this strike, directly executing the Wind Thunder Slash!

Zhao Kailai was now a Martial Saint; even if he used his full strength, it was impossible for him to cause any damage to Zhao Kailai.

Crackle, crackle…

Jiang Ling's Divine Thunder had already turned purple, and as it erupted, it was filled with world-destroying power.

His physical attributes had increased dozens of times, and the power of his Blade Technique was even more formidable.

With this slash, the air itself seemed to ignite!

Watching from the side, Ye Honglian couldn't help but take a few steps back.

She felt that she might not even be able to block this strike from Jiang Ling!

Zhao Kailai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, revealing a look of delight.

Jiang Ling's strength was truly terrifying now!

Zhao Kailai casually waved a strand of Saber Qi to block Jiang Ling's strike.

Boom!

The forces of both sides collided, erupting into a heaven-shaking explosion.

The shockwave of the explosion pushed Jiang Ling back seven or eight steps, while Zhao Kailai remained motionless.

However, a strand of Saber Qi still struck Zhao Kailai, cutting a shallow tear in his pajamas.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Kailai was slightly startled.

Jiang Ling's Saber Intent from this strike was actually able to break through my defense and cause me damage.
