Dashing Student-Chapter 1362: I’ll Go With You

The cultivators from Golden Light Island were all killed in one encounter, making the young master Lü Yi’s heart race, causing him to fall straight out of the sky.

He had never seen someone so terrifying!

Chen Nan remained calm, as if what he had just done was a trivial matter, reaching a hand out to the sea below and pulling Lü Sheng up with a force of mana.

Lü Sheng now had a gruesome wound on his body, completely losing his earlier arrogance, soaked and looking utterly pathetic.

"Spare me, I didn’t know the senior’s strength was so great, please spare my life!"

Lü Sheng, just like his son, was a cowardly bully. Knowing he couldn’t win, he started begging for mercy, completely terrified.

Chen Nan looked at him disdainfully, "Was it you who said you wanted to marry my disciple?"

Lü Sheng’s face turned ghastly pale instantly, raising his hand he slapped himself hard, with a loud sound. After a few slaps, his face was swollen, showing he used full strength.

But Chen Nan was unimpressed, and snorted coldly, "Let me help you with that!"

With that, he slapped Lü Sheng so hard he almost smashed Lü Sheng’s head.

"I dare not anymore, spare me..."

Lü Sheng continued begging even with stars in his eyes from the beating, but Chen Nan ignored him, instead looking back at Zhong Ling, as if encouraging her.

Zhong Ling instantly understood her master’s intention, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and with a sharp sword directly sliced Lü Sheng in half.

Seeing her performance, Chen Nan was quite satisfied, even though she was under his protection, she needed to grow.

"Ling’er, today your master is teaching you a lesson; battles in the Golden Core Realm are entirely different from those in Foundation Establishment Realm, for killing cultivators in the Golden Core Realm requires more caution."

Zhong Ling did not yet understand Chen Nan’s meaning until she saw a Golden Core fly out from Lü Sheng’s body, releasing violent energy.

Evidently, Lü Sheng knew escape was impossible, and tried to self-detonate his Golden Core, but Chen Nan saw through all of it.

With a thought, the Void Breaking Sword appeared suddenly, its tip fiercely striking the Golden Core, resulting in a cracking sound as the core completely shattered.

Zhong Ling came to a realization, "Master, so this is what it means to truly kill a Golden Core cultivator, you must destroy the Golden Core too."

"Correct, you are smart, but there’s one more thing: do not miss the spoils of war, knowing that our sect is indeed poor!"

Chen Nan laughed, picked up Lü Sheng’s storage bag, and tossed it to Zhong Ling.

Gao Xue, standing nearby, rolled her eyes speechlessly, she did not believe Chen Nan was truly poor, after all, on the flying boat earlier, he casually took out a large number of top-grade spirit stones for Zhong Ling to cultivate.

How could ordinary cultivators have so many top-grade spirit stones, which could not be traded anywhere?

But Zhong Ling understood Chen Nan’s meaning. Their cultivation of the Myriad Phenomena Skill was invincible at the same realm, their mana was several times even up to ten times more than cultivators of the same realm.

However, the resources needed for their cultivation were also tens to hundreds of times more, sounding terrifying, hence they claim poverty.

"Master, I see!" Zhong Ling nodded obediently.

After killing all the cultivators from Golden Light Island who dared oppose, Chen Nan finally went to Golden Light Island with the nearly frightened-to-death Lü Yi.

Under Lü Yi’s guidance, they found the island’s treasury and took away all the items, leaving not a single spirit stone.

Chen Nan didn’t care for it, handed all the items to Zhong Ling, suitable for her cultivation resources.

"Tell me clearly about the ruins you discovered."

Now, he was quite sensitive to words like ruins and secret realms, as to refine the Breaking Infant Pill, some precious materials couldn’t be found ordinarily.

Only those ruins or secret realms with enough age might have them.

Lü Yi, having watched his father being killed, was filled with fear and didn’t dare hide anything, telling everything he knew.

"According to my father’s observations, the ruins are over hundreds of thousands of years old and seemed to have never been discovered."

"However, the ruins have many powerful demon beasts and only allow cultivators below the Third Layer of Golden Core Realm to enter, so we explored twice and suffered heavy losses."

Chen Nan raised an eyebrow, "Are there spiritual medicine growing within the ruins?"

"Certainly, explorations by our team found many spiritual medicines, all rarely seen outside," Lü Yi hurriedly replied.

Chen Nan nodded; earlier in the Golden Light Island treasury, he saw several fresh spiritual medicines indeed quite rare.

"In that case, we must take a trip inside."

Lü Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened, quickly exclaimed, "Senior, I can lead you, and now it has attracted many people, but our Golden Light Island discovered it first, so we have a map drawn."

Nearby, Zhong Ling hurriedly searched Lü Sheng’s storage bag and found a map, depicting routes within the ruins.

Although only partially, it was extremely detailed.

"Good, then there’s no problem, let’s take a trip to the ruins," Chen Nan stood up and walked outside.

Frenzied, Lü Yi knelt on the ground exclaiming, "Senior, take me with you, I’m still useful, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do anything!"

Yet Chen Nan did not respond, Gao Xue and Zhong Ling slowly walked towards him.

Soon Lü Yi was killed; Chen Nan would not leave remnants. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The trio headed straight for the ruins; this particular ruin was unique, hidden beneath the sea, with vast mana creating a space underwater.

For years, it went undiscovered, and the one who left the ruins must have been a formidable presence.

"Master, if the ruins allow only cultivators below the Third Layer of Golden Core Realm, does that mean I must enter alone?"

On the way, Zhong Ling asked worriedly.

Chen Nan smiled, with a bit of mystery, "Fear not, I will accompany you."

"But how will master enter?" Zhong Ling asked curiously.

"Like this."

Chen Nan pointed ahead, a black shadow slowly emerged from his fingertip.

As the shadow expanded, it eventually formed a human figure, cohering into Chen Nan’s likeness.

This was the Shadow Clone created using "Erosion Sun," with strength only one-tenth of the real body, yet enough for the Second-Layer Golden Core Realm.

This level of cultivation was ideal for entering the ruins.

After the initial shock passed, Zhong Ling was elated, "Wonderful, to enter the ruins with master."

Chen Nan helplessly chuckled, "Don’t think I’ll be protecting you, unless there’s life-threatening danger, I won’t intervene."
