Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  Although Luo Ba was very strong, the strength of the Luo Clan wasn’t considered top-tier within the Imperial Capital, so someone was naturally bold enough to argue with him.

  “I guess all of you still have no idea—this Ling Han, Senior Brother Ling, hehe, it was only but a few days ago that he flew up here from a small world!” Luo Ba unveiled a “big secret.”

  “What!?” everyone cried out in surprise. He was an insignificant ant from a small world?

  Suddenly, many people revealed expressions of disgust; how could they humble themselves to make the acquaintance of such a lowlife? Yet, there were also some people who expressed even more admiration—a person from a small world could actually be so amazing; it really wasn’t easy.

  The attitudes of the students had undergone extreme polarization. This was a deeply rooted notion. Some people were of the view that a small world was too primitive and too backward, and showed extreme disdain.

  “Ling Han!” Luo Ba couldn’t help but smile. He reached out, and said, “Did you forget what I said yesterday? Do you dare to spar with me?”

  “Spar? What right do you have to spar with me? Are you even qualified to spar with me?” Although Ling Han wasn’t a vain person, he absolutely didn’t have a good impression of Luo Ba, and so wouldn’t give any face to the other party.

  Luo Ba was so angry that he stomped his foot. He was one of the three great elites of the younger generation in the Imperial Capital. It couldn’t be that he wasn’t even qualified to spar with Ling Han, right? He forced down his boiling anger, and said, “I want to duel with you!”

  “Fine, pay me an appearance fee. Otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss!” Ling Han said. “It’s not much, just give 10 True Origin Stones, but if I win, then you would have to compensate me another 100.”

  Pfft! Many people laughed out loud.

  This Senior Brother Ling was a really shrewd person, even trying to make money out of a duel.

  Luo Ba had wanted to agree at once, but quickly restrained himself. Although he was the leader of the younger generation of Luo Clan, it was slightly difficult for him to take out 10 True Origin Stones in one go.

  The crucial point was, he might be able to take out 10 True Origin Stones, but what if he lost? 100 True Origin Stones was a very huge amount indeed—at least it was beyond his control.

  Ling Han’s performance was quite amazing, so he had to consider the possibility of losing.

  At first, it wasn’t a big deal. His ranking was below that of Ling Han, so no one would laugh at him even if he lost. But if he won, then he would be able to trample all over the glory surrounding Ling Han for getting first place. Yet now, with such a high stake, he dared not agree so easily.

  Unless he could be certain of defeating Ling Han.

  “Coward, do you intend to use this method to avoid a duel?” Luo Ba certainly wouldn’t lose on on his stand.

  Ling Han waved his hand dismissively, saying, “Stop talking about such trivial matters. If you want to fight, I can accept your challenge, but there’s nothing to discuss if you don’t have True Origin Stones. Do you think that my time isn’t valuable like yours? Poor people without True Origin Stones should refrain from whining.”

  Luo Ba was seething with so much anger that he almost agreed, but he still managed to forcibly restrain himself.

  He had to be one hundred percent sure of gaining victory!

  “Hahahaha!” Amidst the jingle-like laughter, two beautiful women were seen coming in from the door; one clothed in green robes, tender and charming, while the other appeared elegant like a fairy in flowing white robes.

  Both women had their respective strengths. While their temperaments were completely different, both were charming all the same, causing others to be intoxicated with their beauty.

  They were Li Weiwei and Ji Yun’er, two of the three great beauties of the Imperial Capital.

  “Well said, Ling Han!” Li Weiwei came over and showed her support for Ling Han. “He is my man— ah!” She immediately realized her own mistake, and quickly corrected herself, adding, “No, no, no, he is a man of the Left Minister’s Residence, and my follower. If any of you dare to bully him, then you will stand as my enemy. You had better consider the consequences!”

  Although there was no shortage of descendants of influential officials in the Scarlet Heaven Academy, was there anyone whose status was higher than that of the daughter of the Left Minister, at least in this batch?

  Those who had felt disdain for Ling Han earlier humphed. Although they didn’t dare to confront Li Weiwei, they also certainly wouldn’t take to heart Li Weiwei’s words. After all, Ling Han only flew up here from a small world about ten days ago. He would be categorized as one with neither foundation nor backing—so what if they were to trample on him?

  Ling Han looked at Li Weiwei and smiled. “How come you are suddenly so nice to me? I’m somewhat not used to it.”

  “Tsk! Of course, I still detest you very much, blockhead. But you are my follower, and only I can bully you. If other people can also do that, then wouldn’t they be on the same level as me? Of course, that cannot be allowed!” Li Weiwei raised her chin proudly, revealing her porcelain neck, beautifully white and tender as a swan’s; its beauty was beyond one’s imagination.

  Ling Han burst out laughing, not taking her words to heart, and said, “Drop by my place later, I have something to discuss with you.”

  “Damn blockhead, don’t tell me that you have designs on me?” Li Weiwei suddenly looked alarmed. “Don’t think that you can make me sleep with you! In your dreams!”

  Ling Han was dumbstruck. ‘This little girl is too open-minded. Also, what could she be thinking about all day?’

  Chapter 901 - Class Starts

  What Li Weiwei was thinking about all day was naturally what every young woman would be thinking about.

  When they met a Prince Charming who was handsome, dashing, and with abilities so strong no precedent or antecedent existed, they thought about him having a wonderful romance with themselves.

  Since her losing to Ling Han, this blockhead would occasionally appear in her dreams. He actually interfered in the love between herself and her Prince Charming, and actually wanted to snatch her away! Unfortunately, it was all in her dreamscape, and she had no ability to resist. Thus, she was always bullied by Ling Han.

  This made the Fourth Young Miss of the Li Clan very upset. Every time she woke up, she would be gritting her teeth in resentment. She had not yet given Ling Han a good thrashing, and this guy had already bullied her quite a few times in her dreams.

  There was nothing that could be done. Who asked the Fourth Young Miss’s status to be too noble? If she sparred with someone, the other would usually go easy on her, yet she was horribly defeated by Ling Han, and that was indeed an unforgettable experience.

  Hence, when she heard Ling Han invite her to his residence, Li Weiwei immediately exercised her abundant imagination, and thought that this blockhead had some evil designs on her, so she naturally blurted out her thoughts.

  ‘You aren’t satisfied with just bullying me in my dreams, and still want to force yourself on me?’

  “Weiwei!” Ji Yun’er hurriedly pulled Li Weiwei back, afraid that she would say something else that was incredibly shocking.

  Li Weiwei covered her mouth, realizing that she had blurted something unbelievable out. Then, she immediately glared at Ling Han. This was naturally Ling Han’s fault. ‘Who asked him to always embarrass me in my dreams?’

  The two girls found a spot to sit down. This immediately attracted a great many to approach them and attempt to strike up a conversation. They had their eyes either on the beauty of these two women, or Li Weiwei’s noble status—was the daughter of the Left Minister not awesome enough?

  “Ma Xing is here!” someone announced, and everyone turned to look at the door.

  They saw a sturdy young man walk in. Bot
h his arms were bare, and he exuded a wild air, practically strong enough to cause suffocation.

  Perhaps his King’s Qi had developed precisely from his long-term contact with wild beasts.

  Ma Xing looked as if he had not fully woken yet; he looked like he could barely keep his eyes open. However, when he entered the classroom and saw Ling Han, that hazy gaze immediately became bright and alert. He stared at Ling Han, and said, “Ling Han, I want a spar with you!”

  “All right!” Ling Han nodded, “If you want me to move, please pay ten True Origin Stones first. If you lose, you have to pay another hundred. I have to check the payment first as I cannot possibly fight for nothing.”

  Many laughed loudly; Ling Han’s money-grubbing tendencies were really too overwhelming.

  Li Weiwei grabbed her head, and murmured, “This shameful guy, fancy that I stood up for him just now. Now, he has caused even me to be embarrassed.”

  Yet Ji Yun’er smiled, and as her beautiful eyes swept over Ling Han, a hint of curiosity filled her gaze. What kind of man was this person?

  Abruptly, Ma Xing’s aura was stifled. He had come from the wilderness, so how could he possibly possess any True Origin Stones? After being dazed for a moment, he finally replied, “All right, when I have so many True Origin Stones, we shall fight.”

  He was much more decisive than Luo Ba, and many who saw this nodded in approval. He was really proving himself as one who had come from the wilderness; he had a very straightforward, decisive character.

  Ma Xing no longer stared at Ling Han. As his eyes swept over and he spotted Ji Yun’er, he immediately walked over, and said, “Beauty, I like you. Why don’t we eat some meat together later on?”

  ‘Damn!’

  A considerable number of people choked directly. They had seen people who were straightforward in their speech, but to be straightforward to this degree… This was really the first time they had seen such a person.

  It was nothing strange to like Ji Yun’er; she had enough admirers to line up in a queue that could encircle the whole capital city three times. Still, Ma Xing was definitely the first to be so straightforward about it. Additionally, how could you woo a girl like that? You actually bluntly expressed the desire to treat her to meat… Were you planning to use this to bribe Fairy Ji?

  It was really silly to an adorable degree.

  Ji Yun’er smiled reservedly, and replied, “I have something else on after class. If there is a chance in future, I will share a meal with Senior Brother Ma.”

  “Big Sister Yun, what do you have on?” Li Weiwei deliberately asked, her head tilted to one side as if in doubt. She was someone who wanted the whole world in chaos.

  Ji Yun’er directly used a finger to tap her small head, and after rolling her eyes, said, “Have you forgotten? I will be accompanying you later so that you won’t have to worry you will be falling into someone’s trap!”

  “Oh!” Li Weiwei nodded, and tugging on Ji Yun’er’s arm, said, “Right, right, right. You have to protect me. If there are two of us, that blockhead would definitely not dare to act rashly!”

  After being gently refused, Ma Xing could not help but scratch his head. Then, he sat down at one side; soon, he sprawled out on his table and began sleeping. His snoring was as loud as thunder.

  Indeed, he had not woken up fully.

  Li Weiwei immediately leaned towards Ji Yun’er’s ear, and said, “Big Sister Yun, you definitely can’t like this guy. He snores like a pig, and if you marry him, you would have to suffer every single day.”

  Ji Yun’er rolled her eyes again. Everything about this best friend of hers was great, except for the fact that she had an overactive imagination, which could make one not know whether to laugh or cry.

  As the time for class to begin arrived, more and more people came. When Lin You appeared, many immediately revolved around him. His popularity was definitely excellent, and even Li Weiwei, as the daughter of the Left Minister, could not compare to him.

  Da, da, da. Crisp sound of footsteps rang out; it had an indescribable rhythm to it. It was obvious no one had seen the person yet, but just the footsteps caused one to uncontrollably think that an extremely beautiful woman was coming, for it could be the only explanation why those footsteps had such an amazing rhythm to them.

  All at once, the noise in the classroom immediately quieted. At the instant these footsteps appeared at the entrance, the whole classroom was already dead silent.

  They saw an incredibly alluring figure appear at the entrance. Her figure was tall and slender, fine and delicate, and every inch of it was perfect. En, it was a bit too perfect. For example, her breasts were too big, her waist was too slim, and her hips were too rounded and erect, causing those who saw her feel like they were about to lose control of themselves.

  Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and the sunlight spread out through her raven black hair, exuding a hazy kind of beauty.

  When everyone’s eyes turned to her face, they experienced an instant of suffocation. How could there possibly be such an exquisitely beautiful person in this world?

  Li Weiwei and Ji Yun’er were both unprecedented beauties, but they obviously paled in comparison. It was not that they were not as beautiful as her, but rather her bearing and presence would intoxicate one with just a single look.

  There was a great many people in the Immortal Realm, and added with the generally long lifespan, there was naturally a shockingly great number of beautiful women. In a small world, a beauty would only appear once every million years, but here, it was possible that you could find a good few in a single city.

  When the quality of appearance had reached the extreme limit, then who the victor was would be judged by their bearing and status.

  For example, why was the empress of the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire named the greatest beauty in the world, and could cause the emperors of two Majestic Empires to be willing to deliver their whole empire into her hands? Admittedly, it was definitely because she was unbelievably beautiful, but there was also another important reason, and that was her ability.

  She was an elite that had perfected the Heavenly Body Tier 1 . Such ability and status would fill a man with endless desire to conquer her, and naturally added more credit to her beauty.

  Of course, rumors were that the empress was indeed graceful and elegant. Even when the Left Minister and the others went to inform her of major business matters, they did not dare to look directly at this empress at all, as they were afraid that they would do something offensive. That would really be seeking their own demise.

  Ling Han had never seen the empress of the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire before, but he had to admit that this beauty at the entrance was indeed extremely captivating, and had even surpassed Zhu Xuan Er as well as the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Maiden.

  Chapter 902 - A Beauty That is Already Taken

  In the classroom, a series of thumping heartbeats was heard, fast like the beats of a drum.

  Even Ling Han felt slightly dazed and a little out of control, what more the others.

  This woman walked into the classroom, yet did not find a place to sit down. Instead, she stood on the platform, and opened her mouth to say, “I am Shui Yanyu, and from today on, I am your lecturer.”

  “Wah!” A round of cheers rose up in the classroom, and everyone was excited.

  This extremely beautiful woman was actually their teacher. She was already extremely attractive in the first place, but the forbidden identity of her as their teacher would make their hearts flutter even further.

  “Yi, it’s actually Shui Yanyu!”

  “She entered into the Northern Institution about 20 years ago, right? At the time, she and Zhou Menghuai were collectively called the Twin Pearls of the Empire, and their fame was even greater than that of the present Three Beauties of the Imperial Capital.”

  “I really can’t imagine… Only 20 years passed, and she alr
eady advanced into the Mountain River Tier.”

  The level of the Shattering Void Tier was too low, and no elite would deliberately focus on studying it. Thus, the class commonly would be taken over by a student that had just advanced into the Mountain River Tier as they had experience they could share with their juniors.

  Of course, the person that could hold the position of a lecturer had to have obtained an extraordinary result in the Shattering Void Tier, and would at least have battle prowess worth nineteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier.

  “I heard that Senior Brother Zhao is currently pursuing Senior Sister Shui.”

  “Which Senior Brother Zhao?”

  “Zhao Lun, Senior Brother Zhao, of course!”

  “Hiss, a top genius from 500 years ago who reached battle prowess of twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier at the age of 26, broke through to the Mountain River Tier at 30, advanced into the middle levels at 90, and into the higher levels at 380 years old—Zhao Lun, that Senior Brother Zhao?”

  “Aside from him, who else would qualify to be addressed as Senior Brother Zhao in the whole Northern Institution?”

  “Ai, then we can only admire Senior Sister Shui from afar as she will be none of our business.”

  “Don’t admire her too much, either. I heard that Senior Brother Zhao is incredibly intimate with Senior Sister Shui, and would be displeased even if someone just looked too long at her. I advise everyone not to talk to Senior Sister Shui as much as possible, or else… hehe!”

  Everyone sighed in despair. They had so fortunately been assigned a teacher beautiful enough to ensnare and enrapture the senses, yet were unable to court her at all. They had to be careful even when talking to her so as to avoid attracting Zhao Lun’s attention, or they would definitely be done for!

  Zhao Lun had another identity, and that was the only son of the great General Zhao!

  One of the Seven Generals, General Zhao was an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier.

  He himself was extremely powerful, and his background was also extremely strong as well, so who would dare try to compete with him over a woman?
