It wasn't hard to guess why the dean of Wangjiang City's Dao Academy rang the bell to ask for help. Jiang Wang immediately understood.
He wasn't angry, and there was nothing to worry about.
There was no opponent in the entire Wangjiang City that could make him cower, and he had only obtained a mere high-grade B-grade Dao technique. It was impossible for the Zhuang Nation to mobilize experts from the capital to hunt him down for such a Dao technique.
The Rotten Wood Art was very important to the combat system he had constructed, but it might not be much to others.
Instead, the bell calmed his heart and temporarily left Jiang Yan's "noise".
Walking on the streets of Wangjiang City, there were no other pedestrians in the long night. However, Jiang Wang felt something he hadn't felt in a long time.
It had indeed been a long, long time since he had walked in the city of the Zhuang Nation.
Back then, that youth had resolutely left the country that had given birth to him and raised him … His feelings then and now. They intertwined and converged into a complicated feeling.
After walking through a long street, Jiang Wang suddenly looked up.
In the startled night sky of Wangjiang City, he saw an "acquaintance".
…
…
It was rare for Lin Zhengren to return to Wangjiang City. The entire Wangjiang City's Lin Family couldn't provide him with any help at all.
He had long said that the Wangjiang City's Lin Family's business was not worth mentioning to him. He wasn't bragging, but had a clear understanding of himself.
He had always known what his strength was and where he could go.
Now, the most glorious person in the entire Dao Academy was naturally Zhu Weiwo.
Below him were the so-called Six Heroes of the Dao Academy.
He, Lin Zhengren, was among them.
Zhu Weiwo was a unique genius.
He had long recognized Zhu Weiwo's strength, but he didn't expect him to be even more terrifying than he had imagined. In such a short time, he had already attained the Divine Power Inner Mansion. He was the number one among the younger generation of the Zhuang Nation.
Speaking of which, that damned place, Maplewood City, had indeed produced talents.
Li Jianqiu, who had learned the Dao Sword Technique from somewhere, had also become one of the Six Heroes of the Dao Academy. His ranking was only one place lower than his. During the Dao Discussion of the Three Cities, as the champion of the Dao discussion, he only had eyes for Zhu Weiwo. How could he know who Li Jianqiu was! Who would have thought that he would be on par with him now?
There was a teacher who once said that the entire Maplewood City region had died, and all the luck had gathered on the survivors. Bearing the luck of a city, bearing the life of a city. That was why Zhu Weiwo was able to soar into the sky.
He himself didn't believe it. Zhu Wei's strength was traceable. As soon as he entered the Soaring Dragon Realm, he dared to chase after the Heart Devouring Demon. He even dared to barge into the Unredeemable City with only one spear. Why would such an expert need luck? His body alone was enough to create momentum.
However, his disbelief did not prevent him from secretly encouraging the spread of such voices. It was much better to let more people think that Zhu Weiwo had risen from a pile of corpses in Maplewood City than to let people firmly believe that Zhu Weiwo was the peerless Tianjiao of the Zhuang State.
At least in the former category, Lin Zhengren still had a chance to compete.
No matter how strong or dazzling Zhu Weiwo was, he, Lin Zhengren, had never felt that he couldn't catch up to him.
The path of Dao was long and arduous. Without reaching the final step, who could say for sure who would be able to go further?
He needed resources. He needed more resources.
Currently, he was at the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm while Zhu Weiwo was at the Inner Palace of the Remarkable Arts. Both of them still had sufficient resources.
What about when they reached the Outer Palace of the Gods?
When resources were insufficient, there would definitely be a trade-off. He definitely wouldn't be the one to be 'trade-off'.
Currently, the Zhuang State had a large foundation and everything was flourishing. If he wanted to occupy a good position in the Zhuang State in the future, he couldn't just limit his vision to the so-called Six Heroes of the State Academy.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, his gaze had always been on Zhu Weiwo.
This time, he had returned to Wangjiang City because of Zhu Weiwo.
Because the Zhuang State was rapidly growing stronger, the division of benefits between them and the surrounding powers naturally had to be redistributed.
For example, some time ago, the Yong State, the Zhuang State, and the Luo State had been in the Unredeemable City together with the criminal Lord Huang Jinmo to conduct the Four Way Talks.
The representatives of each state were either state ministers or great generals. From this, one could see how high the standards were.
When important figures participated in the talks, they couldn't act rashly. Thus, the sparring between the younger generation became a matter of course.
Of course, no matter the level of confrontation, the Unredeemable City wouldn't participate.
What caused the entire Zhuang State to be in an uproar was that in this Four Way Talks, Zhu Weiwo suppressed the other two states. It was said that it wasn't even a one-on-one sparring. Instead, Zhu Weiwo directly fought against two geniuses of the Yong State and the Luo State!
Thus, Zhu Weiwo's return to the Dao Academy this time was especially grand. All the teachers and students of the academy welcomed him outside the academy.
Lin Zhengren really didn't want to feel that kind of atmosphere in the Dao Academy. He was afraid that his Dao heart would be suppressed. It would be even worse if he delayed the completion of the Soaring Dragon Realm. Thus, he casually found a reason to temporarily return to Wangjiang City to hide.
He didn't expect that not long after returning home, something would happen again. The bell of the Dao Academy in Wangjiang City rang nine times!
Lin Zhengren couldn't help but doubt his luck.
He had always cherished his body and wasn't willing to take risks. However, everyone knew that he was in Wangjiang City at this moment. Something had happened in the Dao Academy in the city, so he had to go.
He had walked out of the Dao Academy in Wangjiang City. At the crucial moment, he had to show his responsibility.
However, he had to go over. As for how to go, he could still consider it.
Lin Zhengren controlled his speed. After confirming that the City Lord and the Deacon had arrived and that the situation was stable, he sped up and rushed over.
When he rushed to the Dao Academy, Fu Baosong was sending the City Lord and the Deacon off. The Dean had already returned to the chamber and was not present.
"Junior Brother Fu, what happened?" Lin Zhengren flew over and asked with a concerned expression, "Is the Dean alright?"
He had indeed had a conflict with Fu Baosong. He had even stepped on Fu Baosong's face during the Dao Discussion of the Three Cities. However, this didn't stop him from showing kindness. This was because at that time, he was doing it for the "overall situation" of the entire Wangjiang City Dao Academy.
"Someone barged into the Dao Academy at night and forcefully took a mystic technique before leaving." Fu Baosong shook his head. "Teacher is fine."
He didn't like Lin Zhengren very much, but the Dean had used the excuse of being injured to recuperate in seclusion to reduce trouble. He had to stand up and represent the Dao Academy. He knew that Lin Zhengren had always held a grudge against the Dean for not teaching him the Rotten Wood Technique, so he vaguely mentioned the name of the mystic technique.
Lin Zhengren didn't mind. What impressive mystic technique could the Dao Academy have? The Rotten Wood Technique that he had once brooded over was no longer in his eyes. Only the mystic techniques in the Dao Academy were qualified to be called mystic techniques!
"What did the City Lord say?" he asked.
"Arrest the criminal and send more people to patrol. But it shouldn't be of much use. "
"This is a mature move." Lin Zhengren nodded.
He glanced at the Dao Academy again, but in the end, he didn't have the intention to go in and see the old Dean.
"It's good that he's fine. Send my regards to him. I'll chase after him and investigate. Perhaps I can find some traces. "
He casually said something perfunctory and turned to leave.
As for helping the old Dean and participating in the hunt for the criminal …
What a joke. He wouldn't even touch such a low-return and high-risk thing.
There was no danger. It was a wasted trip.
Lin Zhengren casually flew two rounds around Wangjiang City to put on an act before flying back to the Lin family's territory in the east of the city.
The current Lin family's patriarch was still his grandfather, and the future patriarch would be his younger brother, Lin Zhengli.
He had never taken this foundation seriously. After gaining a foothold in the Dao Academy, what he had to fight for were resources of another level.
Of course, in the Lin family, his status was even more aloof.
In the past, when Lin Zhengli was angry, he would occasionally dare to talk back to him. Now, he was already obedient and respected him.
Without alerting the clan soldiers on night watch, he directly flew back to his own courtyard.
What happened in the Dao Academy tonight didn't cause any ripples in his heart. He was just a little annoyed by these irrelevant matters.
Everything was annoying.
When would he be able to catch up to Zhu Weiwo?
Lin Zhengren stood in the courtyard for a while, then quickly adjusted his mood and walked into the house.
"Were you chasing after me just now?"
A voice sounded behind him, almost sticking to his back.
Lin Zhengren was shocked and his entire body went numb!
