With a flash of white light, Linlong found himself back in the Cangyun Continent's School of Runes.
A group of people from the School of Runes immediately surrounded him when they saw his sudden appearance. Astonishment surfaced on every one of their faces. This place was not connected to any spatial cracks, so it was only natural that they were surprised to see Linlong.
"Who are they? Why would they appear here?" After recovering from the shock, someone immediately looked towards Lin Long and asked.
Linlong did not reply. Instead, he looked at someone standing outside the crowd. "Teacher Hao Fenglan, long time no see."
It was none other than Hao Fenglan.
The astonishment on Hao Fenglan's face grew even more pronounced.
As a teacher, he knew better than anyone that there were no spatial cracks here.
Of course, what surprised him even more was why Linlong would appear here.
Amidst his astonishment, he also heaved a sigh of relief. He finally had a chance to capture Linlong. Once he did, he would be able to complete his mission. The girl in black had been very close recently.
With this in mind, Hao Fenglan's expression suddenly darkened. She coldly said, "Linlong, this kid mysteriously disappeared before, and now suddenly appeared here. I'm afraid that he must have done something big in those small worlds … Everyone, hurry up and capture him!"
Before Hao Fenglan's voice faded, the people surrounding Linlong immediately took out their rune swords.
"Kid, we don't want to bully you with numbers. If you know what's good for you, hand over your weapons and kneel on the ground!" Someone hooted.
"Ignorant." Linlong shook his head slightly.
"Ignorant? I think you're courting death! "That person immediately flew into a rage when he heard Linlong's words.
He had originally wanted to show off in front of everyone, but now that he had been looked down upon by Linlong, he had lost face in front of everyone. Naturally, he was furious.
With a curse, he immediately stabbed his sword at Linlong.
The others did not make a move. They wanted to see exactly how strong Linlong was.
Of course, in their opinion, no matter how strong Linlong was, he would not be a match for them. Moreover, they had Hao Fenglan behind them.
While they harbored such thoughts, Linlong casually struck out with his palm. In an instant, a powerful wave of energy attacked the person in front of him.
The powerful energy shocked the person. He was not the only one. Everyone around him widened their eyes, not only because of the power, but also because Linlong did not use his rune sword.
"Ah …"
Under everyone's astonishment, that person let out a blood-curdling scream before being sent flying by Lin Long's attack.
"Boom!"
He smashed into a tall wall behind him, causing it to collapse.
"How dare Lin Li!"
The surrounding crowd could not help but roar in anger, before all of them brandished the runic swords in their hands and attacked Lin Long.
In their opinion, Linlong's attack was powerful, but it was impossible for him to be a match for so many of them.
Only one person felt an indescribable fear in his heart. That person was Hao Fenglan. Others could not see how powerful Linlong was, but he could. He could tell that he was definitely not a match for Linlong.
However, he quickly calmed down because many people had already rushed over, including the academy's elders. With these people around, no matter how strong Linlong was, he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Just as he was feeling terrified, more than 20 rune swords attacked Linlong at the same time.
Linlong was still incomparably calm. Just like before, he gently waved his hand. However, those who attacked him could sense a powerful force attacking them.
In that instant, they felt as if they were a small boat in a stormy sea.
"Boom …"
By the time they regained their senses, the powerful force had already sent them flying.
"Ow ow ow …"
They were either dead or injured. For a time, wails of pain filled the air.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people were momentarily stunned, especially the elders. They had never seen anyone in the Runes Academy who could unleash such a powerful force without using a rune sword.
Who exactly was this person? The same thought flashed through their minds.
Although they were shocked, they were not afraid. This was the Runes Academy. Even if they were not a match for Linlong, the Runic Magic Array of the Runes Academy could still control Linlong.
An elder coldly asked, "Who exactly is this person? What does he want?"
Hao Fenglan replied, "He can be considered a disciple of our academy. He snuck into our academy previously."
The elders frowned and looked at Hao Fenglan. "What's going on?"
Linlong looked at Hao Fenglan and said, "I can't be bothered to talk to you … Hao Fenglan, where is the girl in black, Wu Xuan? Ask her to come out."
"Do you think you can just call the young lady?" Hao Fenglan shouted.
"You're not coming out? Then I can only attack," Linlong said.
After saying that, he suddenly moved. Although he seemed to be moving slowly, his entire body appeared in front of Hao Fenglan in an instant.
Damn it, this speed is way too fast! Such a scene shocked the surrounding people, including the elders.
Seeing that Linlong had suddenly appeared in front of him, Hao Fenglan was suddenly filled with fear. He hurriedly pulled out his rune sword.
To his delight, his movements were incomparably fast. He was actually able to stab Linlong's throat the moment he stretched out his hand.
This kid looks powerful, but in fact, he is just average. Hao Fenglan was overjoyed.
However, in the next moment, he was immediately dumbfounded. This was because his sword had stopped in mid-air. The reason was very simple. Linlong had used two fingers to clamp his rune sword.
In the next moment, only a cracking sound could be heard. His rune sword had actually directly shattered into ashes.
That was way too f * cking strong! This scene caused the surrounding crowd to be shocked once again. Even those elders, because even they, even if they were outside of the School of Runes, would not be able to do this.
Run quickly! These three words flashed across Hao Fenglan's mind when he regained his senses.
However, he found that he could not move at all. He discovered that a powerful energy had enveloped his surroundings, making it difficult for him to move even an inch.
This … Who exactly is this person? Hao Fenglan was shocked once again. He could not understand how Linlong could undergo such an earth-shattering change after only disappearing for a short period of time.
Suddenly, an elder let out an angry roar, "Kid, you're courting death!"
This elder was Miao De. Hao Fenglan was one of his people. Now that he had fallen into such a predicament, he naturally felt uneasy.
However, because of the strength that Linlong had displayed, he simply did not dare to go up and fight him.
At this moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Linlong's face. He had seen the girl in black. At this moment, the girl in black was currently in the crowd nearby, staring at Linlong with wide eyes.
The girl in black was naturally incomparably shocked. No matter what, she did not expect that Linlong would actually become so powerful after not seeing him for a short period of time, to the point where he could look down on the rules of the Runes Academy.
Previously, she had been chased out of the Runes Academy by Miao De's ploy, but later on, she had forcibly entered the academy. Helpless, Miao De could only let her become a disciple needed by the Runes Academy.
Because of this, Linlong was able to see her here at this moment.
"Miss Wu Xuan, so you're here." Seeing that it was her, Linlong smiled indifferently and directly charged towards the girl in black.
The girl in black could not help but reveal a look of surprise. It must be said that she was hiding behind someone else and did not reveal her face.
How could she know how powerful Linlong's Divine Will was?
Given the girl in black's personality, she naturally would not run away.
She directly stepped forward and coldly said to Linlong, "I'm here!"
The moment she spoke, Linlong had already arrived in front of her and stopped.
Miao De's and Hao Fenglan's expressions naturally changed drastically.
"Miss, run!" Hao Fenglan could not help but shout.
"I'm not afraid of him!" The girl in black coldly snorted.
"Is that so? Today, I'll let you know what fear is." Linlong smiled indifferently. As he spoke, he suddenly reached out with his right hand and grabbed at the girl in black.
The girl in black furrowed her brows. In the next instant, she drew her rune sword and slashed at Linlong's right hand.
At the same time, Hao Fenglan and Miao De also charged towards Linlong. They both attacked his back. They knew that the girl in black was definitely no match for Linlong, so they could only resort to this method.
However, they discovered that their rune swords were unable to enter the area behind Linlong. A powerful wave of energy blocked in front of them like an iron wall.
This is too powerful! They exclaimed in their hearts.
Such power made them instinctively want to retreat, but it was already too late. Linlong only seemed to shake slightly, but a powerful wave of energy had already sent them flying.
As for the girl in black, she was already like a little chick caught in the hands of the eagle, Linlong.
'Too … too powerful, we're no match for him at all!' The other elders all exclaimed in their hearts.
"Let me go, if you dare to do anything to me, my father definitely won't let you off!" The girl in black struggled with all her might.
"King Wu of Rain Country, do you think he's a match for me now?" Linlong smiled indifferently.
King Wu of Rain Country? She's the daughter of King Wu of Rain Country?
Hearing Linlong's words, everyone present looked at the girl in black in shock. They did not think that the girl in black had such an identity.
"No, she's not King Wu's daughter."
"She's the Fifth Princess of Rain Country!"
Afraid that Linlong would do something to the girl in black, Hao Fenglan and Miao De hurriedly shouted at the same time.
"That's right, I remember now. She's really the Fifth Princess of Rain Country, the Fifth Princess of Rain Country!" Once they finished speaking, the surrounding people couldn't help but shout.
"Yes, yes, yes, she's the Fifth Princess of Rain Country, I was wondering why she looked so familiar!"
For a moment, there were many who agreed like this.
At this time, another elder stood out and said, "That's right, she's the Fifth Princess of Rain Country, so I hope you can be merciful!"
"Looks like I gave you a fake name earlier," Lin Long said with a faint smile.
"I was afraid that if I told you my real identity, you'd be scared shitless!" The girl in black humphed coldly, paused for a moment, and then said, "Now that you know my identity, hurry up and let me go. Seeing that you're so strong, I won't let my father pursue the matter!"
"Wrong. A mere Rain Country is nothing to me," Lin Long said, shaking his head.
"Lin Li, you're too arrogant. Rain Country is one of the big countries, and even has the existence of an eighth grade beast!" Hao Fenglan couldn't help but say.
"An eighth grade beast, huh? I'd like to see how strong he is." Linlong smiled indifferently, then shook his head. "Unfortunately, I don't have time to wait for him to come!"
As he finished speaking, he looked like he was about to teach the girl in black a lesson.
"Let her go!"
It was also at this time that an extremely hoarse voice sounded. Although this voice was hoarse, it had an endless magical power that enveloped everyone's hearts, making them feel suffocated.
In the next moment, everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, only to see a white-haired old man walking towards Linlong.
Around this old man, one on the left and one on the right, were actually the Dean and Vice Dean of the School of Runes.
Who was this person that actually made the Dean and Vice Dean follow him like this! For a moment, most of the people present were shocked like this.
Only a few people knew who it was, because this old man was the Old Dean of the School of Runes. It was said that his strength had already reached the eighth grade.
Seeing him come out, the elders who recognized him all revealed joyful expressions.
"Greetings, Old Dean!" They all said respectfully.
"Old Headmaster? The legendary Old Headmaster whose strength has already reached rank 8?" Hearing those words, everyone present immediately became overjoyed.
Seeing that they only cared about joy, an elder couldn't help but scold, "Quickly greet the Old Dean!"
"Greetings, Old Dean!" After returning to their senses, these people hurriedly respectfully greeted the old man.
Looking at the Old Dean, Linlong indifferently said, "Eighth grade beast, huh. I didn't expect such an expert to appear in front of me the moment I spoke."
The Old Dean looked towards Linlong and said, "Young man, I wonder what kind of conflict the fifth princess has with you … it's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. Can you resolve this conflict for this old man's sake?"
His tone carried a trace of respect.
This wasn't just because of Linlong's strength, but also because the Old Dean couldn't see where exactly Linlong's strength came from.
In this world, the prerequisite for a person to be strong was that they were a powerful Beast Practitioner. However, the Old Dean simply couldn't see what kind of powerful Beast Practitioner Linlong was.
Faced with this unknown, the Old Dean felt a kind of fear in his heart.
Linlong indifferently smiled as he said, "It's not a big conflict. It's just that we both want to kill each other."
"That's right!" The girl in black originally wanted to deny it, but immediately agreed angrily when she saw Linlong's expression.
The Old Dean couldn't help but frown when he heard their words.
He opened his mouth and said, "Young man, I'll say the same thing again. I hope that you can let the fifth princess off for this old man's sake."
"I'm sorry, I can't do that … Of course, the most important thing is that I want to exchange blows with you. I want to see how powerful an eighth grade beast is." Linlong indifferently smiled.
"How arrogant. You actually want to exchange blows with the Old Dean. See if the Old Dean doesn't beat you half to death!"
Hearing Linlong's words, many people in the surroundings couldn't help but curse.
The Old Dean was a god-like existence in their hearts. They were naturally furious that Linlong didn't take the Old Dean seriously.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to experience the young man's brilliant moves. However, I hope that you can release the fifth princess before we exchange blows," the Old Dean said.
"Release her? That's impossible, "Linlong said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly pulled the girl in black back. However, it was unknown what technique he used, but the girl in black was directly fixed on the spot, unable to escape.
"Very well. Looks like we must determine a victor!" The Old Dean's face darkened.
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory figure suddenly appeared behind him. When they saw the illusory figure, the surrounding people all revealed expressions of surprise and joy. This was because it was a black dragon.
The black dragon was very blurry at first, but as time passed, it became clearer and clearer. Not only was it clear, but it was also lifelike. It was as if a ferocious black dragon was circling behind the Old Dean.
The black dragon slowly grew larger, and in the end, it seemed to be occupying the entire sky above the academy.
Apart from that, everyone also felt a heavy pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests.
Because of this, all of them retreated as far as possible from the Old Dean.
The Old Dean was so powerful, but Linlong's performance made everyone feel that something was wrong. This was because Linlong seemed to be unable to feel the pressure from the black dragon and continued to casually stand near the Old Dean.
"Slash!"
The Old Dean's eyes narrowed. In the next moment, he suddenly shouted.
At the same time, he threw a punch at Linlong. At the same time, the black dragon behind him attacked Linlong as if it could devour its natural enemy.
In an instant, it was as if a black hole had formed between heaven and earth, and this black hole enveloped Linlong.
"As expected of a grade-8 beast!"
"The Old Dean is too powerful!"
"He's so powerful. I'm afraid he'll be able to tear that brat into pieces with a single move!"
Everyone in the surroundings was overjoyed to see the old Dean unleash such a devastating punch.
While they rejoiced, Linlong slightly clenched his right hand into a fist and punched out. He was still as casual as ever, as if he was high-fiving the Old Dean before him.
'This brat is still so arrogant. He probably won't even know how he dies later!' Seeing him like this, many people could not help but criticize in their hearts.
However, they were wrong. This was because Linlong's seemingly casual punch carried an extremely powerful energy.
Moreover, it was like an extremely sharp ray of light in the darkness, directly tearing the Old Dean's punch apart.
"Rumble …"
The energy collided with each other, emitting an explosive sound. Under such a formless impact, the weaker people were directly sent flying.
Fortunately, the Academy's runic array blocked it. Otherwise, these people would definitely have been killed.
When all the energy disappeared, everyone discovered that Linlong and the Old Dean were still standing in the same place.
"Is it a draw?" Someone could not help muttering.
However, in the next moment, everyone's expression changed. This was because the Old Dean suddenly knelt on the ground.
Crimson blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
"It can't be, right? The Old Dean actually lost. He's a grade-8 beast!"
For a moment, everyone was shocked. Only now did they realize how terrifying Lin Long was. Most importantly, they had no idea where Lin Long's energy came from. It was as if there was energy in the world for him to seize, and he could use it as he pleased.
If that was the case, then it was too terrifying!
"Young man, you're too powerful. I admit defeat," the Old Dean said helplessly.
For a moment, he seemed to have aged a lot, and wrinkles appeared on his originally ruddy and glossy face.
After exchanging blows with Linlong, the Old Dean was even more afraid of Linlong's strength, because he could see that Linlong was completely powerless.
The Old Dean faintly felt that Linlong did not even use ten percent of his strength.
"Even the Old Dean admitted defeat, then how can we be his match?!" For a moment, many people present were terrified.
"What's there to be afraid of? We still have the Academy's runic array. The runic array draws on the energy of a few small worlds, so dealing with him is as easy as turning over our hand!" an elder suddenly said.
"That's right, Old Dean, use the runic array to deal with him!" a few elders also agreed.
In their opinion, if they could use force against Linlong, they could not compromise with him. Otherwise, judging from Linlong's appearance, the Academy would probably be doomed.
The Old Dean raised his hand, indicating for everyone to be silent. Then, he looked at Linlong, and said, "Young man, I repeat what I said just now. Release the Fifth Princess, and we will not make things difficult for you. In the future, you will even be treated as an honored guest, and with Rain Country's strength, you will enjoy unprecedented glory in the Blue Cloud Continent."
"Is that so? I'm a little tempted, but there's something I want to do now." Linlong smiled slightly.
"What is it?" the Old Dean asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple, and that is to test the energy of our runic array," Linlong said.
Hearing Linlong's words, a few people could not help but scold, "Brat, you're too arrogant. You actually dare to test the energy of the runic array!"
"Alright, if that's the case, then let's activate the runic array!" The Old Dean's eyes narrowed. He could see that Linlong really did not care.
Since the other wanted to test it, he could only go along with his wishes.
"Activate the runic array!" the Old Dean said.
Ten elders stood up. They stood in a strange formation, with the old dean as the head of the formation.
"Alright, begin!"
With the Old Dean's order, the eleven of them simultaneously slammed their palms on the ground.
"Rumble …"
A heavy rumbling sound came from the ground, as if the underground world was about to collapse. Then, runes began to flash throughout the entire academy.
Next, the Old Dean muttered an incantation. In just a short moment, a huge light sword with countless runes flickering on it appeared above the Old Dean's head.
This light sword contained boundless energy, and it was many times more powerful than the Old Dean's black dragon.
"Once this light sword appears, that brat is dead meat!"
The power of the light sword caused the surrounding crowd to cheer excitedly. It could be said that ninety-nine percent of them had never seen such a light sword before.
However, the Old Dean's expression was extremely grave. This was because even though the light sword was so powerful, Linlong still looked as if nothing had happened. It was as if the light sword was just a runic sword without any energy in front of him.
If even this light sword couldn't do anything to him, then no one in the entire Cangyun Continent would be a match for him. The Old Dean sighed inwardly.
As he thought of this, he was worried that if the person before him wasn't from the Cangyun Continent, then the Cangyun Continent wouldn't be able to stop him if he wanted to destroy the Cangyun Continent.
Now, let's see if this light sword can deal a destructive blow to him! The Old Dean thought inwardly.
"Go!"
In the next moment, he roared angrily. Following his voice, the light sword struck towards Linlong like a bolt of lightning.
The light sword was incomparably huge. The moment it struck out, it was like a giant sword that could tear apart the heavens and earth. In the face of such a giant sword, the entire Runes Academy seemed incomparably small, let alone Linlong who was standing within it.
However, Linlong was calm and composed. Like before, he still struck out with a light punch.
This punch, however, caused the Old Dean's expression to turn even more solemn. This light punch brought with it an incomparably powerful energy.
This energy seemed to appear from the heavens and earth, then converged on Linlong's fist.
"Rumble …"
The energy struck, and an endless impact spread out in all directions. Fortunately, the Runic Formation managed to withstand it, or else the people in the academy would have died. However, the academy's buildings were in a miserable state, as most of them were destroyed.
During this process, the light sword disappeared without a trace, causing the runes on the entire Runic Array to start to dim.
As time passed, they seemed to be on the verge of disappearing. It was obvious that the entire Runic Formation couldn't withstand Linlong's punch.
Indeed, after a while, the entire Runic Formation actually disappeared.
What the hell, isn't he too powerful? Who exactly is he?
Finally, everyone looked at Linlong with fear in their eyes, especially those who had scolded Linlong earlier. They were worried that Linlong would suddenly attack them with a palm.
Given Linlong's strength, they would probably die before they could even make a sound. Fortunately, Linlong didn't seem to remember such a thing, which made them all heave a sigh of relief.
"Young man, you're too powerful. We're no match for you," the Old Dean said helplessly as he looked at Linlong.
At this time, the Fifth Princess, who was behind Linlong, also had a shocked expression on her face. She never imagined that Linlong would be so terrifying.
At this time, she no longer had the pride of a princess. She knew that if Linlong wanted to attack Rain Country, Rain Country wouldn't be his match at all.
So, as willful as she was, she didn't dare to act like she did before.
She even thought of apologizing, and quickly put it into action.
She opened her mouth and said to Linlong, "Young Master Lin, I'm sorry. Previously, it was my fault. I hope you can forgive me this once for the sake of the Old Dean and Rain Country."
"Xuan 'er, you can't apologize like this. Be more sincere!" At this time, such a voice rang out in the academy.
Immediately after, a figure appeared in everyone's line of sight.
It was a middle-aged man with a crown on his head. He looked extremely heroic.
After he appeared, another three people appeared behind him. They were dressed like generals.
After a moment of shock, everyone immediately recognized who the person was. He was the Emperor of Rain Country.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" everyone said respectfully.
"At ease," the Emperor of Rain Country said as he walked towards Linlong.
When he arrived in front of Linlong, he did something unexpected — he took off his crown and knelt on one knee in front of Linlong.
"Your Majesty!" The generals behind him were a little anxious. This was the Emperor of Rain Country.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and kneel!" The Emperor of Rain Country said with a serious expression. Then, he looked at the Fifth Princess and said, "Xuan 'er, hurry up and kneel!"
The Fifth Princess immediately knelt down and said, "Young Master Lin, I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Seeing her like this, Linlong didn't bother and said, "Fine, I'll forgive you."
"Thank you, Young Master Lin. In the future, you will definitely be an honored guest of our Rain Country. No matter what Young Master Lin wants, we will try our best to satisfy you … En, Young Master Lin, although my daughter offended you, she is a good person. If you want, you can take her as a concubine," the Emperor of Rain Country said.
"Father!" The Fifth Princess couldn't help but pout coquettishly.
Although she had such a conflict with Linlong, she was strangely looking forward to it now.
However, Linlong's answer disappointed her.
"How about this, if you can give me a portion of Phoenix True Blood, then I won't pursue what happened before," Linlong said.
The reason why he said this was naturally because Linlong had never forgotten about the Phoenix True Blood.
It wasn't that he was still afraid of the woman in the palace dress, but because he knew that only with the Phoenix True Blood could he return to the underground world.
With Linlong's current strength, he didn't need to ask these people for it. He could go find it himself. The reason why he didn't do that was naturally because if he could get it from these people, he wouldn't need to go find it himself.
"Phoenix True Blood? That's a small matter. I just happen to have a portion here," the old headmaster said hurriedly.
As he spoke, he directly took out a tube of Phoenix True Blood.
"Old headmaster, this will cost you," the Emperor said at the side.
Although Rain Country didn't have the Phoenix True Blood now, they could still obtain it by sending the strongest beast.
"Your Majesty, it's just a small matter," the old headmaster said with a smile.
As he spoke, he handed the tube of Phoenix True Blood to Linlong.
After receiving it, Linlong directly swallowed it. Normal people wouldn't dare to drink it like that. Only Linlong, who had an immeasurably strong body, dared to do so.
Then, in just a few breaths' time, a life-like phoenix suddenly appeared behind Linlong.
Motherf * * *, this was too fast! Such a scene caused the surrounding people to stare dumbfounded.
At the same time that they were shocked, they were all very envious. Who among them didn't want to possess such Phoenix True Blood?
Even the Fifth Princess, a proud daughter of heaven, had an envious expression.
"Alright, the matter here ends here … En, I still have some friends, I hope you can take care of them …" Linlong said.
"Young Master Lin, please speak," the Emperor of Rain Country said hurriedly.
After giving some instructions, Linlong directly flew away from this place. The direction he flew in was the place where he had fallen.
With his current strength, it only took a moment for him to arrive at the place where he had fallen.
"It should be that direction." After determining the direction, Linlong directly flew upwards.
