If You Dare, Kill Me

Chapter 94 If You Dare, Kill Me

Hearing her praise, Lin Dong didn't dwell on the topic. Seeing Tang Ya still unconscious beside him, he asked with some confusion:

"Why hasn't she woken up yet? We met before. It's probably not safe to leave her here alone. Can you think of something?" (Snow Empress)

Upon hearing his words, Xue Di pondered for a moment, then activated her soul power. A faint icy blue light enveloped Tang Ya's body, causing her to shiver and wake up with a start: "Hiss, so cold!"

Looking at Lin Dong with some confusion, Tang Ya smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Sister Tang Ya."

Tang Ya exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, Lin Dong, what are you doing here? No, run! That evil spirit master is very powerful!"

Lin Dong did not answer her question after hearing it, but smiled faintly and asked in return:

"He's already gone, don't worry. Why are you here? Why did Beibei let you come here alone?"

Tang Ya was a little puzzled after hearing this. The evil spirit master seemed so attentive to her, so why did he suddenly leave? But she still replied with an "Oh."

"I ran away secretly without telling him, all for the Tang Clan!"

Lin Dong forced a smile and said, "I was worried you might have met with some misfortune, so I stayed here a little longer. Now that you're awake, I won't stay any longer. Perhaps we'll meet again someday."

"Hongchen, have you discussed the exchange student program with them?"

"Is it really necessary to go this far? Okay, where are we going?"

The figure in black robes slowly removed his hat, revealing a sinister smile on his handsome face:

Kong Deming nodded slightly, took a step back, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

After two hours of refining, Lin Dong's soul power level had increased to level thirty-four, but when converted into Yuan power cultivation, he was still some distance away from the late stage of the Earthly Yuan Realm.

Hyotei asked with some delight, "So, does that mean you can become very strong without absorbing spirit rings?"

I'm in a bit of a rush, I need to switch to cultivating my elemental power. Besides, the faster I grow, the more confident I'll be in your tribulation, you should be happy."

"This guy has been gone for almost half a month now. Logically speaking, with a flying soul tool, he should have been back by now."

"Saying you're used to training alone just means you want to act on your own."

Thinking of this, Tang Ya suddenly perked up: "Yes, I still have Bei Bei. I should go back to the academy first. Evil Soul Masters are too scary."

"Meng, you haven't been acting right these past few days. What are you thinking about?"

What are you thinking? Looking at Lin Dong's situation, he's clearly someone who won't get involved with anything. If Meng falls for that guy, she's destined to be heartbroken.

It is no exaggeration to say that, without using any soul skills, Lin Dong can now easily defeat a powerhouse who is close to the strength of a Soul Emperor.

"Sigh, it's really nothing. You know, Ziwen doesn't get along with you. He's too embarrassed to ask you, but he keeps bothering me by coming here every day, asking me to ask you when Lin Dong is coming back. He has too many questions to ask him."

While Xue Di was busy with her self-reflection, Lin Dong's breathing gradually calmed down, and his mental sea, filled with pure medicinal power, kept swirling in his mind.

Jing Hongchen bowed to the old emperor on the dragon throne and replied:

"What's going on? Why am I sneezing so frequently lately? Damn it, I've really been underestimated. Several Soul Kings actually dared to issue a warrant for my arrest. I wonder who sent them? They're so brainless."

Jing Hongchen nodded, bowed to Elder Kong, and said, "I understand. Please take care."

"Brothers, looks like we've been underestimated. This kid's so young, yet he's got guts. Let's finish him off quickly!"

Sitting in the small inn, Lin Dong, draped in a black robe, sneezed, wiped his nose, and muttered:

Feeling the tremendous changes within his body, Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle to himself:

Moon waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, do you think they'll stop then? You'd be better off using this time to cultivate. Didn't that mysterious evil spirit master from the other day make you feel threatened?"

Jing Hongchen was taken aback at first, then shook his head with a wry smile:

His words trailed off, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, as he muttered softly:

Yan Shaozhe looked at Mu En with a worried expression and reported to his superior:

"Sorry, let's go, it's time to leave."

"Hehe, Big Bug, Little Scorpion, your lives are really interesting."

Upon hearing the words "tribulation of lightning," a barely perceptible glint flashed in the Snow Empress's eyes. After a moment, she nodded slightly and smiled.

Although the Snow Emperor had nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, she was still inevitably a little shy when she saw a human like this for the first time. After looking away, she comforted herself that she was watching him cultivate and had no other intentions.

Unexpectedly, after overpowering a group of geniuses in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, he was still at the same level of strength as when he first showed his talent in Qingyang Town. What kind of remote dimension had he been exiled to? Damn spacetime turbulence!

Seeing Xiao Hongchen's curious gaze, Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes in annoyance: "What's it to you what I'm thinking? Go bother Lin Dong."

Feeling the pure medicinal power, Lin Dong no longer hesitated and poured it into his mouth. In an instant, as if all his senses had been opened, an indescribable sense of excitement filled his brain.

"Deming, there hasn't been any news or response from Shrek Academy?"

Back in the abandoned building, Lin Dong wasted no time and poured out all seven pills from his storage soul tool.

Lin Dong asked curiously, "What exactly is this inheritance you're talking about?"

Recalling the day they parted, and Lin Dong's hurried departure, Xue Di couldn't help but clench her fists.

Hearing this unconventional assessment, Kong Deming could only nod helplessly.

A glint of light flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes, and he replied solemnly:

"You damned little beast, what kind of monster are you?!"

After Lin Dong and the other person left, Xue Di, who was walking in the forest, couldn't help but ask:

A burst of light shot out from Lin Dong's body, and the immense medicinal power actually burst his clothes apart, revealing his flawless white skin and well-defined muscles.

Lin Dong then realized what was happening, coughed awkwardly twice, took out clothes from his storage soul tool and changed quickly, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Snow Empress:

I've never heard of military exercises going on for so long. Judging from their tone, those guys aren't planning to leave until they get compensation!

Lin Dong searched their corpses for a while, took out several money bags and threw them into his storage soul tool. After seeing the vermilion characters on the token on the leader's body, the smile on his face became even more ferocious...

"Kid, kill me if you dare..."

"Boss, this damn little bastard won't stay in the academy forever, will he? We've been in this godforsaken place for over ten days and haven't even seen a glimpse of him."

The shopkeeper squinted his cloudy old eyes and replied somewhat fearfully, "No...no."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di's face stiffened, and she said in disbelief:

Seeing that the old emperor had spoken, Jing Hongchen dared not raise any objections, and bowed his head, replying, "Yes!"

The man in black returned to his seat, picked up his glass, and downed a drink. A man opposite him couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath:

"I'm sorry, Elder Kong. I don't know when that little fellow will be back. Although he is young, he is very opinionated. How should I put it? He's like a stubborn mule. No one can persuade him. All we can do is wait."

The artillery shells used in the exercise are three generations behind our current technology. The shells will be emptied from the gun bays within three days, and the exercise will conclude in four days.

"Everyone else can leave now. Tianran, you and the Imperial Advisor stay behind. I have something to tell you."

"What incredible power! I can hardly believe it. This kind of power that transcends the rules is probably beyond even the legendary gods. You're such a powerful ally, it's incredibly tempting!"

He remembered that Meng Hongchen had told him that these pills not only had no side effects, but could also be taken at the same time.

"yes!"

"This guy, he asked for a favor and then ran away, that's really going too far..."

Moon seemed used to his complaints, calmly fanning himself with his palm-leaf fan: "Just let them fight. The more they fight now, the fewer battles there will be when the real war breaks out. Isn't that a good thing?"

Yan Shaozhe replied with a grim expression, "That's the logic, Elder Mu, but continuing like this is too exhausting."

Lin Dong smiled after hearing this: "There's no way around it, this soul power is too useless, plus the restriction that you can't improve your realm without hunting for soul rings, it's just too..."

Upon hearing this, Old Yi narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly and smiled kindly:

Lin Dong chuckled and replied, "Indeed, I haven't explained everything, but the benefits are significant. Some of the benefits related to mental strength are a bit complicated to explain in detail. In short, the current situation is that having a suitable soul beast is a bonus, but I can still cultivate normally without one."

Upon hearing Lin Dong's answer, Tian Meng couldn't help but sigh:

Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly jumped up, looking at the figure slowly emerging from the shadows, and said somewhat impatiently:

Lin Dong wasn't in a hurry. He simply replied, "Okay." Then he saw Elder Yi's figure step into the portal once more and slowly disappear...

Xue Di rolled her eyes at him, nodded, and silently followed.

The old emperor was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, not expecting that someone as proud as Shrek would actually take the initiative to back down. He then looked at Jing Hongchen and asked:

"Compared to soul power, what other advantages does your mysterious energy have besides being more condensed and more powerful?"

Xiao Hongchen suddenly shook his head violently and patted his forehead:

In a secluded alley, five Soul Kings sat huddled in a corner, seemingly resting with their eyes closed. The leader leaned against the wall, looking somewhat annoyed, and muttered complaints under his breath.

"Thank you, then we'll meet again someday."

The battle ended too quickly; he hadn't even had time to react. His companions, all of whom were Soul Kings, were almost all killed with a single punch from the boy's light and agile fist.

"Didn't I say that the Ancestral Symbol can be a Soul Ring or not? So theoretically, as long as I have enough Yuan Power, I can use its skills. However, it seems that its power is greatly reduced at present."

However, this doesn't mean I can't hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings. It just means that until I find a suitable soul ring, my cultivation level can still improve normally, and the Ancestral Symbol can still transform into a soul ring as before.

"I heard you've issued a warrant for my arrest!"

After listening, Lin Dong pondered for a moment and slowly said, "There are quite a few. First of all, in the future, my soul skills may not need soul rings to be released. For now, they should be called martial arts."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Who can I rely on now? I've avenged my parents, and I can't revive the Tang Clan all by myself. But besides Beibei, who else can I count on?"

The more she thought about it, the more agitated the Snow Empress became. She couldn't help but summon her Imperial Sword and angrily swung it a few times at a snowdrift…

"Let's go back. If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Ya should have already left."

"Get out of here, you idiot! Do you think wearing a black robe makes you a mysterious powerhouse? We're in a good mood today, so get out of here and we won't beat you up."

Looking at his fanatical cultivation demeanor, Xue Di sighed helplessly.

Seeing Jing Hongchen's curious gaze, Kong Deming coughed lightly:

Lin Dong looked at the group of men in black dressed in civilian clothes opposite him, a strange smile curving his lips beneath his black robe.

"It's been over half a month, Master Kong. Is there anything you need from him?"

The old emperor frowned and sighed after hearing this:

Sun and Moon Empire, Ming Capital.

"Hehe, naturally I was drawn here by your mysterious power, little guy. Your spiritual strength seems to have improved quite a bit. Perhaps it's time to give you the power to choose the inheritance I mentioned."

"Hey old man, have you seen this guy before?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Dong punched him in the chest, and bright red blood spurted from his mouth. It was so sudden that he didn't even have time to close his eyes before his life was completely cut off.

"Hongchen, how long do you plan to continue this military exercise?"

"The mortal world".

"Since you have already refused, I won't say anything more. However, Shrek Academy has a long-standing reputation on the mainland. They have been tolerant for a long time, so it's time for us to back down as well. Let's end the exercise after these few days."

"Hehe, you haven't settled down yet. Once you've completely calmed down and returned to that Sun and Moon Academy, I'll tell you in detail. By the way, the energy you created is quite impressive; I've already seen your terrifying potential."

"How about you protect me for a while longer? I'd like to cultivate a little longer."

The old emperor looked at the people below the stage with a worried expression and couldn't help but ask:

His physical strength has reached the level of a level 63 Soul Emperor, which should also be considered as the beginning of the Jade Thunder Body. As for his mental strength, he couldn't say the specific level, but it should not be weak.

But I only leveled up a little over ten times in a year. Tang Ya, her thoughts becoming increasingly chaotic, clutched her head, appearing extremely pained. After a long while, she murmured absentmindedly:

Ice Emperor asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean by 'the Ancestral Symbol has many skills'? Although your Ancestral Symbol is a growth-type Soul Ring and quite special, two Soul Skills are already the limit, right?"

A portal of light appeared out of thin air, and Elder Yi stepped out from it, smiling kindly at the three of them:

Lin Dong asked with some confusion, "Elder Yi, why are you out here?"

"Is this guy taking legitimate pills...?"

Seeing his hurried manner, Tang Ya wanted to ask many questions, but she knew their relationship was just a fleeting encounter, so she could only nod and smile.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong subconsciously touched the ring on his hand, only then remembering that he still hadn't taken the pills. He then smiled and said:

Within the sea of ​​spirit, Tianmeng's curious voice rang out:

"Lin Dong, what you just told Xue Di must not be all the benefits, right? It seems you are more familiar with this energy called Yuan Power than with Soul Power."

"Master Kong, what are your instructions?"

The Snow Emperor walked alone through the icy snow, a faint hint of anger on her face, muttering to herself:

With that, he ran straight out of the house and left.

Shrek Academy.

"That little guy named Lin Dong has been gone for quite a while now."

The far north.

Watching him retreat, a calm smile appeared on Moon's face. Sun and Moon's actions further demonstrated that they had no intention of starting a war. It seemed that this hard-won peace could be maintained for some time.

Lin Dong nodded and waved to Xue Di: "Let's go, Xue Di." The latter glanced at Tang Ya indifferently and quickly followed.

"How is this possible? This is beyond reason. If this gets out, you'll probably be captured and studied by everyone in the Soul Master world. Even I probably won't be able to protect you then."

The leader of the men in black stood up, tossed a portrait at the shopkeeper, pointed to it, and asked:

"Your Majesty, I have discussed this with the elders of Mingde Hall. Since we released the public opinion, the people's enthusiasm for paying national taxes has increased significantly."

The leader of the men in black revealed a sinister smile and raised his hand to the four people beside him:

"Okay, remember to send someone to inform Ziwen when he comes back. That kid bothers me every day, I'm so tired of hearing him call."

Upon hearing this, Hyotei couldn't help but stick out her forelegs and stab his spiritual body, scolding, "Get out! What a disgusting description."

Seeing his absent-minded expression, Xue Di couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "Hurry up and put your clothes on!"

"Elder Mu, the Sun and Moon military exercise has been going on for nearly twenty days. During these twenty days, forty level-seven soul-guided cannon shells, sixty level-six shells, and nearly one hundred level-five soul-guided cannon shells 'accidentally' fell into the academy."

What they found most unbelievable was that, despite the sudden burst of light emanating from his body, their attacks did not cause him the slightest harm.

A look of shame crossed Yan Shaozhe's face, and he nodded silently.

After a moment's thought, Lin Dong replied with a light laugh:

Seeing her dazed expression, Xiao Hongchen's eyelids twitched suddenly, but then he thought, if it were him, it might not be impossible.

Furthermore, when I advance my cultivation level in the future, I will not need to be restricted by the Soul Ring. I will only need to absorb Soul Power normally and use the Yuan Power Seed and the Ancestral Symbol to compress and condense it.

No, no, no, this won't do! How can my genius sister suffer the pain of unrequited love? Absolutely not!

As Jing Hongchen walked out of the main hall, she heard the call behind her, turned around, saw Kong Deming's thin face, and respectfully said:

Watching the two figures leave, a hint of loneliness flashed in Tang Ya's eyes. When I first met him, he was only level 10. In less than a year, he has already reached level 30.

"Theoretically, it is possible. Based on my experience, as long as the power of the Ancestral Symbol is not weakened, I don't need to use those other Soul Rings at all, since the Ancestral Symbol already has enough skills."

"The boss told us to split up, and we Soul Kings are being sent to fight a Grand Soul Master? Isn't that an insult to us?"

Two minutes later, looking at the haphazardly lying corpses of his companions beside him, the man in black, barely clinging to life, stared in horror at the grinning youth before him, and said in a venomous tone:

The five quickly dispersed, their spirit rings lighting up as they charged towards Lin Dong with murderous intent.

"At least you still have some conscience. What are your plans now?"

Even with Lin Dong's level of patience, he couldn't help but let out a few low groans. Hearing this, Xue Di's pretty face flushed slightly, and she muttered softly:

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, our relationship with Shrek Academy is now irreconcilable, and it is not appropriate for us to engage in this so-called exchange student program. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of declining this offer."

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Your Majesty, Shrek Academy has offered no substantial compensation beyond its public apology that day and the letter of intent to exchange students with the academy two days ago."
