Chapter 36: Dumbfounded And Astonished

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘King?’

‘What King?’

Zhao Yuling, who was descending from the sky, was dumbfounded when she heard the Mei clan elder’s astonishing accusation.

‘The King he’s talking about, is he referring to me?’

She had just broken through into the Demi-King realm from Precelestial Grandmaster.’

It should be Demi-King after Precelestial. That was common sense.

It was a cultivation realm that all families throughout the earth had acknowledged.

‘But that doesn’t make sense!’

‘If I am not a King, then how can I manage to finish off an Ultimate Demi-King instantly?’

Zhao Yuling was confused as she felt her mind jumbling up!

Common sense told her that she should be a Demi-King currently.

However, the reality was that she had finished off an Ultimate Demi-King instantly. It was likely that she really had broken into the King’s realm from being a Precelestial Grandmaster.

Zhao Yuling’s perspective was destroyed!

Since young, she had known of the difference in realms. Now, a problem had arisen!

Did the problem lay within other people or was she the one who was having the problem?’

Zhao Yuling was utterly dumbfounded!

It seemed that only one person could answer her question.

A silhouette appeared within Zhao Yuling’s mind.

Not far away, the group of fighters of the Xia clan was stunned as they gazed at the Mei clan elder who had been smashed to the ground, and Zhao Yuling, who was standing proudly in mid-air.

‘No, this... what’s happening right now?’

A new Demi-King was able to finish off a veteran Ultimate Demi-King in a split second?

‘Didn’t this make them both seem to have changed their status?’

‘Our eyes are not pulling a trick on us, right? Or did we just see an illusion?’

‘This is obviously not complying with common sense.’

It was as if someone was telling them that a Postcelestial fighter was facing a Precelestial Grandmaster who was well prepared and managed to finish him off with just a strike!

No one would believe in such a thing!

Both parties had such a huge difference and it was not something that talent could make up for!

Postcelestials and Precelestials had a vast difference between them.

The same applied to a Demi-King and an Ultimate Demi-King.

If this incident were to be spread out, everyone would only think of it as a joke. Any serious martial arts novelist would not have the courage to write that down!

If someone did dare to write it, perhaps a Precelestial Grandmaster who had a bad temper would come looking for the author and chop him up.

It would be a humiliation to Precelestial Grandmasters!

However, despite it being unbelievable, the truth was indeed displayed before them.

That was an incident that left everyone stunned.

However, the questions blurted by the Mei clan elder made them even more shocked.

‘King?’

‘The White Shirt Angel is a King?’

‘The Xia clan has a King guarding there?’

That news was even more hyped up.

“No, legend has it that when White Shirt Angel was locked up by the foreign clan in the Zhang household, she managed to break through into the Demi-King realm after she was reincarnated from death. How did she end up being a King right now?”

“This is unbelievable. No one will believe it!”

“Fools. The White Shirt Angel must have been in the King’s realm a long time ago. She’s the hidden King elder of our Xia clan. It’s because she’s bored and when she was in the society, she was captured by the Mei clan, who must have had a death wish, incidentally. She got mad and massacred all of them. She personally went and killed the Mei clan because they had offended and angered her!”

“But White Shirt Angel looks quite young though?”

“You fool, in the realm of a King, they could discard their appearance and put on their original look. It’s not something that you and I are able to see through!”

“Not bad.”

“You got a point there.”

A group of fighters could not help but softly analyze and finally came to a conclusion.

They all thought that that was the most reasonable explanation.

Or else, they could not accept the fact that a Demi-King would be able to finish off an Ultimate Demi-King in an instance.

Zhao Yuling did not provide them with an answer.

She took out her sword and made another attack and ended the Mei clan elder’s life, under his roars of dismay.

Then, after bidding a brief farewell to the other fighters, she flew away!

She could not wait to head back to Lin City.

After Zhao Yuling left!

The shocking news was spread from that area and at lightning speed, it spread throughout the entire Xia clan.

The Ultimate Demi-King of the Mei clan was murdered in the lands of the Xia kingdom.

The person who did it was White Shirt Angel of the Lin commandery who was quite famous lately.

Yet, she was not as young as rumored.

In fact, she had lived for 500 to 600 years!

She was the King elder that survived since the big revolution of the Xia Kingdom.

She had suffered from heavy injury and was hiding in the shadows and received treatment.

Yet, currently, she was able to kill off a powerhouse of someone within the realm of an Ultimate Demi-King.

It meant that her injury had fully recovered. The King was returning and would lead the Xia kingdom to a bright future once again.

A group of admirers who had never seen Zhao Yuling before joined forces to create a military flag with her name on it.

‘Supporting the White Shirt Empress to guard the palace!’

It was a domineering stance with no precedence.

...

In the lands of Annan.

At Hei Yanshi City, an important city at the borders of Annan where the forces defend against the foreign clans.

Lin Xueling stood at the top of the city.

Her hand was holding onto a report from the Xia kingdom. She was deep in her thoughts when she read the news on it.

She was guarding the lands of Annan. They would change shifts every six years. For the past tens or so years, she had only returned once.

Naturally, she was aware of her niece, Zhao Yuling, who was tagging along Chu He’s side and cultivating.

Both of them even kept in touch with each other by sending letters.

She had known about Zhao Yuling being known as the White Shirt Angel!

However, currently, the news had stated that the White Shirt Angel was an elder who had lived up to 500 to 600 years?

“This is utter nonsense!”

She could just skip that part.

“Is she a King elder?”

“She has killed an Ultimate Demi-King from the Mei clan?”

Lin Xueling kept reading the contents over and over again and was thinking hard about it.

She knew of Zhao Yuling’s realm.

It had been a while since she was in the ultimate precelestial realm and was able to break through anytime.

“After breaking through, she immediately became a King? Indeed!”

No one was able to comprehend that point.

She made a bold guess. Zhao Yuling was the hidden King elder of the Xia kingdom who managed to survive through the great revolution that occurred hundreds of years ago.

She dared not believe that Zhao Yuling had broken through into the King’s realm straight from being a Precelestial.

Lin Xueling, who was also under the guidance of Chu He, had been suspecting all these years.

Her breakthrough was perhaps different from other people.

These few years, after she broke through, she was able to access all the secret information regarding the realms of Demi-King in the Xia kingdom.

From there, she noticed that what was being recorded on it greatly differed from her situation.

Apart from other aspects, the most crucial point was that when she referred to the basics of the offense and defense abilities, they were all way too weak when compared to her abilities.

‘Even if the records were referring to the weakest Demi-King, the discrepancy was still way too ridiculous.’

From the very beginning, Lin Xueling had even made a guess that it was Brother Lil Chu who had read through lots of books and was conscious of all the facts from ancient times to modern times, and with his ultimate guidance, he managed to train her into developing great battle skills.

After all, in the Xia kingdom, there were lots of famous tutors who were able to train prodigies of the same ultimate realm.

Even though those people only appeared to be extraordinary before the eyes of the Precelestials and Postcelestials.

However, with the same logic being applied, Brother Lil Chu was even greater. It was possible for her to become an ultimate when she was in the Demi-King realm!

However, in the later stage, when she went through the introduction of the combat effectiveness of the Ultimate Demi-King, it astonished her once again.

If it was exactly like what was being introduced, that would mean that her combat effectiveness had attained that level the moment she broke through, or perhaps even better in some aspects.

A few years had passed since then, and her abilities had long ago been solidified. Besides, she even improved as well.

Currently, if she were to compare herself with the information being recorded, Ultimate Demi-King was no longer her enemy.

Except for Brother Lil Chu.

She was considered the most powerful being in the Xia clan!!!

That discovery had left her astonished for quite some time at that moment. She thought that something must have gone wrong with her thoughts!

Right before the news of Zhao Yuling finishing off an Ultimate Demi-King in a split second had arrived, Lin Xueling was still doubtful about the guess on her abilities that she made.

After all, this issue was way too ridiculous!

Throughout the years, the situation in Annan had stabilized and there were no foreign clans invading the lands at a large scale.

As such, Lin Xueling never had the chance to test out the cultivation that she had been practicing by heart.

She would never dream of rushing over to seek trouble from a Demi-King of the foreign clan.

After all, in the lands of Annan, the strength of the Lin family had yet to recover since the Zhennan Military Troop had been defeated. It was currently the time where they were having weak defense.

If she caused a fight just to prove her hunch, things would still be just alright if things went on as she predicted.

However, if that was not the case, she might be deemed as a bad person!

On that day, however, after she had known about the result of Zhao Yuling’s battle, she had finally confirmed it!

“So, Yuling and I became Kings after breaking through from the realm of Precelestial.”

“The true Kings!”

Her gaze shifted to look far ahead. Her battle spirit was burning fiercely and she was emanating a murderous aura.

“Dog Fang clan! It’s time for you all to pay for what you’ve done!”
