Grand Star Ao County, Jing Kejing's villa's study.
The hologram projection on the wall was replaying the duel in a loop. Moreover, it was playing at a slow speed, frame by frame.
"As expected of Ling! I'm afraid that no one in the younger generation besides the young kings can beat him … "
Jing Kejing sighed in admiration as he edited the video.
Others might still be guessing if the mysterious cloaked man's true identity was "Ling".
Jing Kejing was very clear about it. He just didn't expect that Hayashi River would represent the Qiu family in this battle.
The alliance between the Qiu family and the Redbud Organization …
The alliance of these two great forces was a terrible news to their enemies.
Jing Kejing didn't care about this. "Ling"'s exclusive forum had not been updated for a long time. Now he finally had material.
As the administrator of the forum and "Ling"'s number one fan, Jing Kejing hated the haters on the forum.
In the past year, "Ling" had been on the forum every day. "Ling" haters said that "Ling" was dead and his corpse might have been made into a specimen.
There were also haters who ridiculed "Ling", saying that "Ling" was still alive. He was just the number one genius of the previous generation.
Compared to those young kings who had awakened their innate talents, "Ling" was nothing …
In the past year, even if "Ling" was still alive, he might still be far from becoming a young king …
Every time he faced these comments, Jing Kejing would grit his teeth. Especially when he met "Ling" in real life, he wanted to fiercely scold those haters.
Now, "Ling" finally stood up. His opponent for this battle, Dan Hong, was not bad.
Dan Hong's evaluation in all aspects was far from that of the young kings. However, he was definitely at the top of the first tier.
"Ling" won in a dominating manner and even helped him break through. This was a declaration to the world that his strength was not below that of the young kings.
The only thing that Jing Kejing regretted was that "Ling" did not announce his true identity, so he couldn't edit the video and post it on the exclusive forum.
He also couldn't start a thread to scold those haters and haters …
"These bastards! Sooner or later, they will know how shallow their vision is. "Ling's" strength is not limited to this … "
Jing Kejing shouted to himself.
At this moment, the housekeeper knocked on the door and informed him that Grandpa Jing had arrived.
The door to the study opened, and an old man walked in. He was dressed in luxurious clothes, and his aura was like an abyss.
This was Old Master Jing, the head of the Jing family and a cabinet minister of the Empire.
In the entire Sea-Ao Empire, if one were to list the ten most influential people, Old Master Jing would definitely be one of them.
Looking at the projection on the light screen, Grandpa Jing shook his head, but he didn't reprimand him.
In the past, whenever Old Master Jing saw his grandson worshiping "Ling", he would always reprimand him.
However, after today, there would be no need to reprimand him. This was a good thing.
"Grandpa. Why are you here? You shouldn't be here at this time … "
Jing Kejing stood up. Ever since he received the third-class merit in the secret forces, the elders rarely asked about his hobbies.
"Defeat the realm. Come and sit. "Grandpa Jing pointed at the sofa.
The grandfather and grandson sat down, and Grandfather Jing said, "I'm here to see my grandson. Why don't you accompany me? You are becoming more and more unfilial! "
Looking at the stern face of Grandpa Jing, Jing Kejing curled his lips and said, "Grandpa, I've already grown up. Don't fool me. The Qiu family's old patriarch has recovered his strength, but the cabinet hasn't done anything? You should be going to the cabinet meeting now … "
This little guy had really grown up …
Grandpa Jing nodded in satisfaction. Among the younger generation of the Jing family, he liked Jing Kejing the most. It wasn't because he was talented, but because he was likable.
Now, his favorite grandson had become successful again. He had a keen sense of the situation, and he had made contributions in the secret forces. Grandpa Jing was very pleased.
Not only that, but he also realized that Jing Kejing was very lucky. He had just received news that the young man representing the Qiu family was the representative of the Redbud Organization in the White Dwarf Kingdom.
His other identity was very likely to be "Ling", whom all the major forces had been trying to find in the past year.
Grandpa Jing came to confirm this because he knew that Jing Kejing had been in contact with this organization in the Mechanical Beehive, and they had expressed an intention to cooperate.
Originally, Grandpa Jing thought that the Redbud Organization had offered to cooperate because of the Jing family.
Now, it seemed that it was because of Jing Kejing himself. This was all the little guy's luck …
Grandpa Jing waved his hand and dismissed the housekeeper. He then turned on the anti-surveillance equipment in the study.
"Is the person from the Redbud Organization 'Ling'?" Grandpa Jing asked directly.
Jing Kejing nodded. He didn't hide anything from his grandfather. In fact, there was nothing to hide. The outside world probably had such a guess.
Previously, on the virtual platform of the academy, there were hundreds and thousands of people who had fought with "Ling". There would definitely be people who would recognize him.
Grandpa Jing nodded. "It seems that the Redbud Organization is stronger than I thought. I'm afraid it will be even stronger in the future …"
"Since you and 'Ling' have crossed paths in the real world, it couldn't be better. You should get closer in the future."
Many people's previous evaluation of "Ling" was still stuck on the virtual platform. After all, this genius had never fought in the real world.
This battle had undoubtedly proved that the various evaluations of 'Ling' before were not exaggerated in the slightest.
Grandpa Jing's intelligence network also knew that before Qiu Jinxuan, the Qiu family head hadn't found a suitable successor.
What did this mean?
It meant that "Ling" had cultivated the [Tidal Floating Image Sword] in the past month, after the Qiu family and the Redbud Organization agreed to cooperate.
This kind of talent was enough to make one's scalp tingle …
Jing Kejing chuckled. He was very proud of himself. Because of the fact that he was a fan of "Ling", he had been reprimanded by the elders in the family many times. Now, the situation was completely different.
Grandpa Jing said again, "Kejing, do you know? In your generation, the Jing family … "
"I won't listen!"
Jing Kejing covered his ears and frowned. "Grandpa, I'm already very busy. You don't have to arrange things for me. It's not easy for me to take a vacation this past year. "
Hearing this, Grandpa Jing's face darkened. He reprimanded him. "You don't have the heart to improve at all! You're the most outstanding person in your generation in the Jing family. You have to shoulder most of the burden. "
Jing Kejing shook his head. Shoulder what? Wasn't he busy enough? If he had to shoulder more, he would die of exhaustion.
Grandpa Jing was furious when he saw the kid's look of disdain. If it had been any other member of the Jing family, they would have been so happy that they would have trembled on the spot. They might even have fainted.
Grandpa Jing's face darkened. He suddenly sighed. "Kejing, I don't want to force you. But the family's situation isn't very good … "
Jing Kejing looked at his grandfather. The cabinet minister, who was known as the old fox of the Great Star Ao County, took out a document. It was the Jing family's evaluation report.
The report showed that the Jing family had improved in all aspects, be it in business or government. It was thriving with each passing day.
Grandpa Jing was speechless.
This grandson had really grown up. It was getting harder to fool him …
"Grandpa is telling you the truth."
Grandpa Jing's face was solemn. "There are some things I need to tell you. Do you know what Qiu San Jian's trump card was in the Qiu family's challenge? "
"Is he an ally of the Jing family?"
Jing Kejing's eyes widened. That excessively handsome face of his was flabbergasted.
Many forces had investigated the Qiu family's trump card. Some people had even predicted whether the Qiu family's Old Master had recovered his strength.
Admittedly, the probability of this prediction being correct was very small. However, someone had guessed it before.
However, no one had expected the Jing family to be an ally.
This was because the Qiu family and the Jing family had never had any close contact. Even eight hundred years ago, the two families had never had an alliance through marriage.
"This is a secret alliance between our two families after the Hundred Year Continental War …"
Grandpa Jing threw out another important secret.
It turned out that after the Hundred Year Continental War, the aristocratic families of the Sea-Ao Empire had secretly contacted each other and made an agreement to help each other in times of danger.
"Nine hundred years ago, the Jing family was in a precarious situation. We almost fell into decline. The Qiu family was the one who lent us a helping hand."
Grandpa Jing threw out a third piece of shocking news.
Jing Kejing gulped. He felt his throat go dry. He was not only shocked by these secrets, but also by the reason his grandfather told him these secrets.
"The Jing family's situation looks good. However, Grandpa didn't lie to you. It's not very optimistic …"
Grandpa Jing leaned closer and lowered his voice. "Since ten years ago, the person in the Imperial Palace has been thinking of weakening the aristocratic families. The Qiu family was the first target. Now that the person in the Imperial Palace has failed, it's hard to say what will happen next … "
Jing Kejing shuddered. The meaning behind his grandfather's words was something he did not like to come into contact with the most.
The grandfather and grandson huddled together and discussed in low voices for a long time …
Jing Kejing sighed. "Grandpa, don't worry. If something happens to the family, I will definitely shoulder it. "
"Good. That's my good grandson. "
Grandpa Jing nodded and looked up at the holographic screen. "You should learn from him. This young man is already the representative of the Redbud Organization. I'm afraid his strength is the best among the younger generation."
"The Qiu family's Old Master has sent a message. He is full of praise for this person."
"He's so young and he's about to take charge. I'm afraid not many of the young geniuses of your generation can stay calm …"
Jing Kejing shrugged. He just wanted to upload the edited video to the forum.
…
Just as the grandfather and grandson of the Jing family were discussing, the young geniuses who watched the battle felt a great impact, just as Grandpa Jing had said.
Whether it was the top geniuses of the first tier or the young kings, they all felt a wave of pressure.
This mysterious young man was "Ling"!
Those who had fought with "Ling" on the academy's virtual platform and had been oppressed many times recognized him immediately. This was the "Ling" who was rumored to be dead.
"Ling" had appeared in a year. In such a way, he made the young geniuses feel suffocated.
An hour after the battle ended, someone analyzed the video frame by frame. It showed how suffocating Dan Hong was during the battle …
This black-cloaked young man's battle strength was at least that of a young king?!
This was the unanimous conclusion that many people came to!
"It's only been a year and he's grown to this level …"
"I thought there would be a gap between him and the other young kings in reality …"
"No! It's fine if I'm suppressed by him on the academy's virtual platform, but how can I lose to him in reality! "
"My racial talent is about to awaken. 'Ling', I'll beat you up the next time we meet!"
Many young martial artists clenched their fists, an unprecedented fighting spirit rising in their chests …
On the other side.
While all kinds of news were flying around in the outside world, Hayashi River was in the laboratory, contacting the Qiu family's Old Master.
The Qiu family's plot had been broken. Next, it was time to join forces and clash with the Black Net …
