Chapter 141: Overly Strong but Brittle

"Eighteen years old? Her overall strength is comparable to that of the Vajra Realm?"

Princ.i.p.al Qi was shocked. Jiang Bieli was known to be the no.1 prodigy that only appeared once in ten thousand years, but his overall strength when he was eighteen years old would probably be estimated to be barely comparable to that of the Soul Travel Realm. Such a heaven-defying talent and potential that had never been heard of. If such news would be broadcasted, an uproar would probably arise in the whole continent, right?

"That's correct…"

Zhuge Qingyun sighed and said, "But I have crossed paths with him before. There is only one kind of essence force in him. He looks like a normal human being; hence, Jiang Yi is unlikely to have a special astral body! No matter what it is… it would be worth to look forward to what this young man's future achievement will be. With adequate grooming, he would bring the college glory for hundreds of years."

"Hurhur!"

Princ.i.p.al Qi seemed to be a little angry at his words. Her face darkened, and she snorted coldly. "The college has been deliberately helping and grooming him, but this little rascal thought I was pettily trying to go against him. He should have thought of it since we are fully aware of his battle skills. Why did we deliberately try to change the rules again? Wasn't that because so that we could justify sending him the gifts? This little rascal—he will be the death of an old lady like me."

"Ke-Ke!"

Zhuge Qingyun laughed lightly. "Why are you acting so petty for a person of such age? You already know of Jiang Rentu's personality, and Jiang Bieli already sent a letter of apology. Let bygones be bygones!"

Zhuge Qingyun spoke, and Princ.i.p.al Qi could only remain silent while snorting. She seemed to recall something and said, "Yesterday, Jiang Yi went to seek for Master Liao. I heard that he was asking Master Liao to treat a servant girl? Do you want to do him a favor? You should know of Master Liao's temperament."

"There is no need!"

Zhuge Qingyun gestured with a wave. "This kid has a stubborn nature. If he knew that we intentionally helped him, the result would be worse. What's more, Jiang Bieli sent a letter stating that we need not pay him any attention. Let him suffer, and when he faces an unbreakable obstacle, he will naturally go back and acknowledge his father."

"I think it will be difficult…"

Princ.i.p.al Qi recalled the stubborn look on Jiang Yi's face before sighing lightly. "No matter what, our college has picked up a treasure. Hurhur! If Jiang Yi is to join the Kingdom War that begins next year, we will definitely be able to oppress the two other colleges. We still have the absolute prodigies from the Water Moon Observatory and Great Zen Monastery who will help our college achieve great feats. Our college has been oppressed for nearly a century!"

"Let's hope so!"

Zhuge Qingyun sighed while his opacified eyes shot out a radiant light. He looked into the distant skies and lamented, "Everything about Jiang Yi is great except for his overly steadfast nature. His body has these hidden tendencies for evil. When complemented by his realization of the Ma.s.sacre Intent, he is just like an artifact sword which has never been sheathed—overly strong but brittle! I am worried if he was to continue killing like this, his life would end prematurely. This continent isn't as peaceful as what it looks on the surface…"

Jiang Yi woke up in the noon. He didn't really suffer many injuries this time and was only frail from the usage of the Ma.s.sacre Intent.

When he got up, he immediately began to study the secret art of spirit beast taming that Su Ruoxue provided to him. In just merely two hours, he had exited from his seclusion!

This spirit beast taming art was too easy. However, even if this secret art was bestowed to anyone, it would be useless. The crucial point to the spirit beast taming was the spirit beast talisman that Su Ruoxue handed over to Jiang Yi.

The spirit beast talisman was a piece of a token that was extremely mystical. It could only be produced by the Mt. Spirit Beast College, and this method of production was only known to the current Princ.i.p.al. It was the root of the Mt. Spirit College.

After comprehending the secret art of spirit beast taming, Jiang Yi promptly decided to head towards the mountain the next day. He was now a Prodigy Cadet and could go temper himself in the mountains whenever he desired. Furthermore, the college was just within the boundary of the mountain range, and it wasn't so dangerous.

When Jiang Yi exited his room, Qian w.a.n.guan was already gone. Jiang Yi waited in the courtyard for a moment, and the fatty came in along with a breeze. He was holding out a piece of the token and smiling with narrow eyes from afar. "Boss. This is a top-notch spirit beast talisman. It can tame a spirit beast that is up to tier-three. You will help me get one in the mountains, right?"

"Get lost…"

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes and berated him, "A tier-three spirit beast is equivalent to a Soul Travel Realm expert. If you want to seek death, go by yourself. I will be satisfied to tame a tier-two peak-grade spirit beast. Oh right, how did you get this spirit beast talisman? Are the mentors in this college so gutsy to secretly steal and sell a spirit beast talisman? Are they afraid to incur the wrath of Princ.i.p.al Zhuge?"

"Hehe!"

Qian w.a.n.guan let out a wretch laugh. "If the water is too clean, fish cannot exist. It is the same for any other places. Even if Princ.i.p.al Zhuge knew about this, he would turn a blind eye."

"Is there any issues for the trip to the mountain tomorrow?"

Jiang Yi paused for a while before speaking about proper matters. With Qian w.a.n.guan along, he could save a lot of trouble. His clan's secret guards would also be tagging along, making their trip much safer.

"No problem. I will go make arrangements now!"

Qian w.a.n.guan spoke as though it was a trivial matter. Just as he prepared to leave, he suddenly recalled something: "That's right. Zhan Wushuang heard that you were going to hunt demonic beasts on the mountains and said he wanted to come along. He had yet to find a suitable spirit beast yet, and it was just the right timing for him to look for one…"

"Heard? Heard from you, I think! You big mouth!"

Jiang Yi let out a helpless sigh. Qian w.a.n.guan was obviously trying to pull his strings to get closer to Zhan Wushuang. If everyone was to go out and have fun, their relations.h.i.+p would naturally get better.

On the same night, Jiang Yi went to look for Su Ruoxue and returned the silver longsword. Since it was given to her as a gift back at the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, he naturally couldn't take it back. He also informed her that he was going for demonic beasts hunt tomorrow. Su Ruoxue didn't say much and just asked Jiang Yi to be careful.

On the next day, before the sun was even bright, Jiang Yi was already awake. Under the guidance of Qian w.a.n.guan, the two of them quietly exited the college. Zhan Wushuang was already waiting at the southern gate. But Zhan Wushuang actually didn't bring Zhan Lin'er along today, which made Jiang Yi felt odd.

Nodding to Zhan Wushuang, the three of them set off down the mountain under the dusky light of dawn. Once they were at the foot of the mountain, dozens of Qian clansmen promptly emerged from the forest. They bowed to Qian w.a.n.guan's trio. "Young Clan Head, Young Master Yi, Young Master Wushuang."

Jiang Yi disliked it when he was being addressed as a young master. But the men of Qian w.a.n.guan had no choice but to do it. They then asked Qian w.a.n.guan in a lowered voice, "Where are we headed to?"

Qian w.a.n.guan pointed to a mountain in the south and replied, "To the Mt. Black Clouds. There is a patrol team from the college at the north side of the Mt. Black Clouds. We will hunt within the mountains, and if we meet any overwhelming demonic beasts, we will descend the mountain immediately. Let the patrol team from the college take care of it!"

"Let's go!"

Jiang Yi waved his hand, and dozens of people swiftly sprinted towards the south in the dark. They soon vanished into the dusky wilderness.

After they left, two black-robed men appeared from the nearby shrubbery. They were obviously top-cla.s.s scouts. Even the Qian clansmen and the Soul Travel Realm secret guards didn't notice them!

Their faces were covered with black cloth, with only their cold eyes revealed. One of them scanned around and had a trace of doubt in his eyes. "Sixth Brother. Why did the Young Clan Head ask us to monitor Jiang Yi? Is he going to send someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate Jiang Yi? If this matter is let known and infuriated the Western Garrison Liege Lord, both of us are definitely dead."

"Fool!"

The other man cursed softly and explained, "Do you think the Young Clan Head isn't afraid? If Jiang Bieli is infuriated, even the Young Clan Head's position is at stake! Don't worry. The ones that are making the move aren't from our clan. Hehe! The demon girl from the Water Moon Observatory has recently killed all the way from the Northern Liang Kingdom to the Divine Martial Kingdom. She has been searching for prodigies to fight along the way, and I heard that she has already crippled several prodigies. What if… she got to know that the no.1 prodigy of the Mt. Spirit Beast College has left the college? Wouldn't she be looking for him once she got to know of this information?"
