The situation had become tense. Lin Chong shielded the Ye sisters behind him and looked at Wang Xiong, who had a thuggish appearance, and said coldly, "Wang Xiong, how many times have I told you not to harass Ye Qingyi anymore? Didn't you listen?"

"Lin Chong, you just want to enjoy the beauty of two women, don't you? You have an older sister, yet you treat your younger sister as your own possession. How despicable!" Wang Xiong cursed.

Wang Xiong's two or three brothers also voiced their support.

The onlookers watched the increasingly intense situation with smiles. Among them was Bai Jusheng, who had once competed with Lin Chong and been defeated by him. Standing next to him was another contestant who was also among the top five on the Heavenly Ranking.

The group of friends were old acquaintances, and they were discussing amongst themselves. Bai Jusheng, however, remained silent for a while before suddenly interjecting, "Lin Chong can defeat that clown!"

This stunned the other friends, but upon closer inspection, Wang Xiong was ranked much lower than Bai Jusheng, and since Lin Chong could defeat Bai Jusheng, dealing with Wang Xiong would naturally be no problem for him.

Lin Chong faced the insults from the other side with a blank expression, waiting for them to finish. He remembered his father saying that those foul-mouthed guys should enjoy their insults for a while longer.

Because he might never be able to speak again, Lin Chong couldn't kill anyone here, nor did he need to. But if this guy was truly wicked, he would choose to take action inside the secret realm.

Lin Chong could endure it, but Ye Qingyi couldn't. Even though her sister kept pulling her back, Ye Wanxi could hold her sister's body, but she couldn't shut Ye Qingyi's mouth.

Ye Qingyi shouted at the top of her lungs, "Wang Xiong, just give up on that idea! My sister and I have already arranged to marry Brother Lin Chong together. Besides, we are both in love. What's it to you?"

"Wow!"

The onlookers were excited, they never expected such a big scoop. Ye Wanxi's face darkened, how could her stupid sister dare to say anything?

This angered Ye Wanxi, who sternly shouted, "Ye Qingyi, shut your mouth! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll punish you according to the Ye family rules when we get back!"

Ye Qingyi quickly shrank back. At that moment, she was determined, but facing her already angry sister, she naturally didn't dare to provoke her.

Lin Chong was also amused by Ye Qingyi's antics, and teased Wang Xiong across from him, "Wang Xiong, you've seen the situation, so don't come up and cause any more trouble!"

"No way! I'm going to fight you today to decide who Ye Qingyi belongs to!" Wang Xiong was still relentless and insisted on a fight.

Lin Chong was so angry he laughed. He drew his Qingling Sword, his expression turning stern and cold, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll beat you until you submit!"

"Something's wrong!"

Lin Ran looked at Wang Xiong, who kept provoking Lin Chong to accept the challenge. Was there something fishy going on?

Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, Dean Wenling smiled and said, "Vice Dean Lin, don't worry. With me here, anyone who dares to play tricks will be severely punished!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Dean Wenling!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

"It's nothing, just a small favor. If I were to sit idly by and do nothing, would I still be the dean? Hahaha!"

Soon, everyone made way for a larger area so that Lin Chong and Wang Xiong could play chess, while the few ranked players on the Heavenly Ranking quickly stepped forward to act as referees.

"Stop it, don't kill us. We're already noisy enough. If we attract the deans' attention, we'll all be in big trouble. Do you understand?" the acting referee said earnestly.

Some onlookers on the sidelines were already a bit confused when they heard this. Was it possible, I mean, possible... that the dean was already hiding in the crowd?

After they learned the rules, Lin Chong and Wang Xiong immediately started fighting. At first, it was indeed a very serious fight, and Lin Chong had already transformed after his battle with Bai Jusheng.

At this moment, he was also at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Even without using secret techniques, he could fight against a Heavenly Ranking expert like Wang Xiong and gradually suppress him, gaining the upper hand.

But just as Wang Xiong was being suppressed, Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi noticed something was wrong with him. Both of them possessed powerful soul forces, especially Wen Qianyi, who was already prepared to make a move.

Just as Lin Chong saw Wang Xiong weakened and wanted to press his advantage to win the victory, Wang Xiong suddenly turned ferocious, and a small, dark ball appeared in his right hand.

The small ball was thrown out by Wang Xiong as soon as it appeared, turning into a beam of light that shot towards Lin Chong. At that moment, Lin Chong was charging forward when he sensed the aura of death emanating from the ball. His pupils contracted sharply, but the distance between them was too close, and Lin Chong had no way to dodge the black beam of light.

"Go to hell, Lin Chong, hahaha!" Wang Xiong laughed loudly.

Things happened so fast that many people present didn't even have time to react. The acting referee only managed to rush to Lin Ran's aid when he saw the beam of light about to reach her.

Just then, a barrier of cyan flames suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chong, and Lin Chong crashed into the cyan barrier, and was then bounced away by a soft force.

The moment the cyan flame barrier made contact with the black beam of light, it emitted a "sizzling" sound, and the flame barrier quickly transformed into a ball of flame that enveloped the dark energy beam.

The dark beam of light was like a struggling insect, causing the flames to churn. But as the temperature of the flames gradually rose, the dark beam of light gradually vanished into nothingness and eventually disappeared into the air.

This scene unfolded somewhat suddenly. Lin Chong, sitting on the ground, was panting heavily as he watched. He knew that he had been saved by an elder, otherwise he would not have been able to dodge that attack.

The acting referees quickly reacted, stepping forward to restrain Wang Xiong and questioning him: "Wang Xiong, what are you doing? Don't you know the academy's rules forbid killing fellow disciples? How dare you do this!"

"Get out of here..." Wang Xiong tried to break free after failing, but he soon felt a powerful pressure that pressed him firmly to the ground, making it impossible for him to get up.

"You guys are really something!"

Wen Ling walked out with a dark face, and many people were shocked when they saw that it was actually the dean.

But Wen Ling was also terrified by these students. These guys were really something else, actually trying to kill someone right in front of him. And he, the dean, didn't save his students immediately; instead, it was the people from Linghua Academy who helped him.

Wenling felt a sharp pain in his face, having been slapped in the face time and time again by his own students. He was filled with rage that he couldn't vent. Was he about to go on a rampage? Or had he been too lenient with these guys? They were all going through their rebellious phase.

Lin Ran thought he had been careful enough, but Wen Qianyi was even faster than him, which made him feel lingering fear. He thanked Wen Qianyi, saying, "Qianyi, thank you so much, otherwise..."

Wen Qianyi smiled and shook her head, saying softly, "Senior, let's hurry and check if Lin...Lin Chong is alright."

"Yes!"

Lin Ran and Wen Qianyi quickly went to Lin Chong's side.

Lin Chong was still sitting on the ground. Ye Wanxi was about to rush over immediately, but she was surprised when she saw a figure moving faster than her.

When Ye Wanxi saw the person's face, she froze on the spot. The face seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recognize it at first. However, when she heard the other person's voice, she immediately realized who it was, covered her mouth, and opened her eyes wide.

Seeing her sister's expression, Ye Qingyi looked ahead. When she saw Lin Ran's face, she was stunned, but quickly grabbed her sister's arm, pointed at Lin Ran, and said angrily, "Sister, it's that guy, the one who said he wanted to be our father!"

Ye Wanxi: "......"

She really wanted to tell her silly younger sister that the other person could really be their father!

……

Chapter 124 The Commission from Tianli Academy (4K)

Lin Chong was still unable to fully calm himself down. He had just been so close to death. If it weren't for the timely rescue by an elder of the academy, he probably would have lost his life there. At that moment, he thought of his father, his lover, and the mother he had vowed to find.

If he dies, they will definitely be very sad and heartbroken.

"You brat, get up! How did you get so scared by that one move!"

A familiar voice rang in Lin Chong's ears. He couldn't help but look up. The sunlight was a little dazzling, causing Lin Chong to squint. But when he saw the familiar face in front of him, he felt a little dazed. He couldn't help but call out, "Is that Father? Am I...am I seeing things?"

"You didn't see wrong, get up, you brat!"

Lin Ran found it amusing and used a clever trick to lift Lin Chong up.

After Lin Chong regained his footing, he saw the person in front of him, whose face looked even younger than he remembered. He scratched his head sheepishly and said, "But my father... wasn't this young, was he?"

"Pfft!"

Wen Qianyi, who was standing to the side, was also amused by Lin Chong's words and secretly covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Lin Ran's face turned black with anger. She slapped Lin Chong on the head and said, "Your father is now in the Nirvana Realm. Isn't it normal for me to look a little younger?"

"Ah, Father, you've actually reached the Nirvana Realm?"

Lin Chong scratched his head, recognizing the familiar strength—it was definitely his father. But when he heard about his father's strength, his eyes widened in shock. How could he have reached the Nirvana Realm?

He felt he was getting closer and closer to his father's strength, and thought his father would be very surprised when he saw him, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who was dumbfounded.

"You little brat, you're still not careful enough, accepting a challenge like this. If it weren't for Qianyi here today, you'd be dead already. What I taught you..."

Lin Ran sternly lectured Lin Chong, who obediently lowered his head and listened to her lecture.

After all, what her father said was quite right; she could clearly see that the other side was using a provocation tactic.

The purpose was to get him to fight, but he foolishly stepped into the opponent's trap. Wasn't that underestimating the opponent?

Seeing that things had gone far enough, Lin Ran stopped lecturing Lin Chong. It was a rare opportunity to meet him, and it wasn't something Lin Ran wanted to see turn into a one-sided lecture.

He introduced Wen Qianyi, who was standing next to him: "This is the lady who saved you just now. You should thank your sister Wen properly!"

"elder sister?"

Lin Chong was stunned for a moment before turning his attention to the woman standing next to his father.

Although he didn't know why his father was always surrounded by beautiful women, like that woman named Li Yuhan, or the one in front of him now, even he, as her son, had to admire them. Every woman beside his father was unique and had one thing in common: they were all beautiful and liked their father.

Wen Qianyi was a little nervous, but she tried her best to maintain her composure, with a gentle smile on her face, and said softly, "Hello Lin Chong, my full name is Wen Qianyi, you can also call me Sister Wen!"

"Hello, Sister Wen. Thank you for saving me. That attack from Wang Xiong just now was..."

Although Lin Chong was inwardly complaining, he outwardly showed great respect to his savior and was also curious about why the other party's attack was so stealthy and swift, so that he could prepare for it in the future.

"That attack is called the Corrosive Poison Ball. It is made from various kinds of highly toxic materials. When combined with related secret techniques, it can attack the opponent with lightning speed."

Once hit by this attack, without any corresponding emergency measures, one will be instantly corroded and turned into a pool of blood; it is an extremely insidious and vicious attack method.

Wen Qianyi was quite willing to explain Lin Chong's situation, which could be seen as an attempt to gain the approval of the elder's son, perhaps for her future...

"Wang Xiong is so vicious, he's truly despicable..."

Lin Chong was terrified when he heard Wen Qianyi's words. He hadn't expected Wang Xiong to have such methods. It was clear that he wanted to kill him. What had he done to offend this guy?

Lin Ran patted Lin Chong on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. Let Dean Wenling handle these matters. I believe he will investigate and find out the truth."

"Ok?"

Lin Chong nodded, but then suddenly felt something was off and looked at his father, asking, "Father, do you still know our Inner Court Dean? When did you meet him?"

Lin Chong barely recognized his own father. Had his father become so powerful that he could recognize the head of their inner court? You must know that the head of the inner court was a Dragon Transformation Realm expert. Lin Chong was only fortunate enough to be received by the head of the inner court because of his outstanding performance in the Heavenly Ranking Competition.

If a Dragon Transformation Realm expert were placed in their Li Dynasty, they would be a super strong expert capable of destroying an entire dynasty.

Even if my father is at the Nirvana Realm, he is only at the Nirvana Realm in a small place like the Li Dynasty. How did he suddenly get to know their Inner Court Dean?

Wen Qianyi admitted that Lin Ran had previously mentioned that she had a low threshold for laughter. When she saw Lin Chong's silly appearance, Wen Qianyi couldn't help but laugh. If she didn't have to maintain a ladylike image, she probably would have burst into laughter.

Seeing that Lin Ran still wanted to tease Lin Chong, she couldn't help but explain, "Now your father is the vice president of Linghua Academy, one of the five great academies."

"what!"

Lin Chong's head was spinning from this explosive news, and he almost fainted. He wondered if he was dreaming or in reality.

Because Dean Wenling still had to deal with this terrible incident, he specially found some teachers from Tianli Academy to arrange for Lin Ran and the others to wait in good tents.

During this time, Lin Ran told Lin Chong about her experiences leaving home to explore and improve her strength, as well as the things that happened on her journey. Only then did Lin Chong and the Ye sisters learn about it.

It turns out that the scarred man they encountered in the Gobi Desert was Lin Ran, who had been protecting them all along. Moreover, Lin Ran had watched their academy selection competition and then decided to come and see for himself, which led him to Jiezhou.
