Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2090: Chapter 2094: What Is His True Identity?

”Yun Tao, it’s good that you understand. Losing a battle is not scary; what’s scary is losing heart!”

Hu Yiqiu reached out and patted Yun Tao on the shoulder.

Yun Tao grinned broadly and said carelessly, ”Lose heart? In my mind, I am the only one who reigns supreme, between heaven and earth!”

Smack!

With a crisp sound, Hu Yiqiu slapped the back of Yun Tao’s head, causing Yun Tao to stagger.

”The only one who reigns supreme? Where do you put me and Young Jiang? Can’t the three of us, master and disciples, reign supreme together?”

Hu Yiqiu said with feigned anger.

”Yes, yes, between heaven and earth, the three of us, master and disciples, reign supreme!”

Yun Tao quickly amended his words.

Jian Cangqiong and the others all chuckled; they had seen this master-and-apprentice duo clowning around more than once or twice!

”Oh! There’s one more thing.”

Jiang Chen suddenly remembered something: ”That Bo Liancheng... we might need to pay attention to him.”

”Pay attention to him?”

Jian Cangqiong was taken aback: ”His talent is indeed not bad, but although Elder Lu and Elder Wine-crazed don’t get along, Elder Lu does have his own insights when it comes to teaching disciples. We don’t need to worry.”

”Mr Jiang, you are indeed kind-hearted. Bo Liancheng was specifically brought in by Elder Lu to deal with you, yet you are still concerned about his future.”

Li Yukun said with a light laugh.

Jian Cangqiong and the others looked at Jiang Chen with gratification, while only Hu Yiqiu and Yun Tao showed a hint of surprise.

This kid is very caring towards his own people, but there’s no way he’d be this kind to an enemy!

He is no saint or bodhisattva!

”No, you misunderstood my meaning, seniors!”

Jiang Chen gently shook his head: ”When I said to pay attention, I meant look into why he came to our Changlin Academy.”

”Why come to our academy? Isn’t he here because that old bastard Lu Buping brought him in to deal with you?”

Hu Yiqiu looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.

”That might not be the case!”

Jiang Chen shook his head again and said: ”I acknowledged Master as my teacher at the Divine Wood Symbol, and have only been back at the academy for a few days. Could Elder Lu have found such an exceptional person in just a few days? If I’m not mistaken, he should have chosen Bo Liancheng after learning of my existence from among the new students.”

”This... even if that’s the case, what’s wrong with that?”

The crowd still didn’t quite understand.

”Master, seniors, do you know about the Twelve Archipelago Powers of the Origin Continent?”

Jiang Chen asked with a serious expression.

”Twelve Archipelago Powers?”

”This...”

”Never heard of them!”

”Is it a small force on the Origin Continent?”

Hu Yiqiu and others looked at each other in puzzlement, revealing confused expressions.

”I know!”

Ouyang Ruoxue spoke softly: ”I was once punished by my grandfather to read all the material I could in the Archive Hall, and saw them mentioned in a description of various powers across the continent.”

”A millennium ago, a group of people arrived on the Origin Continent from Life Origin Star, totalling more than twenty forces. Some are cultivators similar to us, while some are of a different kind, claiming to be gods intending to recruit believers and preach on the Origin Continent, with the intent to rule it.”

”But they didn’t know that the Pinnacle Realm on the Origin Continent was the Saint, who promptly drove them off the continent, forcing them into the archipelago in the western sea of the continent.”

”Later, each one of them occupied a larger island in the Origin West Sea, calling themselves the Twelve Great Regions, but the people of the Origin Continent refer to them as the Twelve Archipelago Powers.”

After Ouyang Ruoxue finished speaking, she turned to Jiang Chen: ”I found out all this from the Archive Hall at the academy, and even my grandfather only knew after I told him. How did you know?”

”Well...”

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, his expression turning slightly grim: ”They are my enemies. Many of my seniors and brothers died at their hands!”

The crowd blinked in surprise, a realization flashed in their eyes. Given Jiang Chen’s past actions, they thought of overseas forces.

Although the Interval Sea is just a divide between two continents, even the narrowest part between each continent spans over ten million kilometers. In essence, all the Interval Seas are one entity, surrounded by the vast ocean encompassing five continents and numerous inland archipelagos.

The ocean also harbors numerous forces, some of which have existed longer than the rulers of various continents like Canglan Great Emperor.

These forces in the ocean are referred to as overseas forces by inland powers. Each of these forces possesses immense strength!

In the understanding of Jian Cangqiong and others, Jiang Chen should be from the overseas forces in the Origin West Sea and is likely a very important figure within that power.

As for coming to Canglan Continent, everyone has their own explanations; after all, the Twelve Archipelago Powers occupied his home and destroyed the power he belonged to, forcing his elders to find a way to send him to Canglan Continent!

This also resolved the suspicions Jian Cangqiong and others had.

When they discovered Jiang Chen as the ’Son of Heavenly Dao,’ they had investigated his past, but what they found was just as if their investigation yielded nothing—as if he had appeared out of nowhere.

Yet now, everything made sense.

”Do you know what level the strongest among their Twelve Powers have reached?”

Jiang Chen seriously asked Ouyang Ruoxue.

Ouyang Ruoxue spoke softly: ”In each of their powers, the strongest have reached the late Integration Realm, and some have even reached the Integration Realm Peak.”

”What?”

”They’re this strong?!”

”No wonder it incited a Saint to take action!”

Hu Yiqiu and others were taken aback.

Jiang Chen lightly nodded, turning to Jian Cangqiong and the others: ”Bo Liancheng is from a sea clan, one of the Twelve Archipelago Powers!”

”What? He’s from the Origin Continent?”

”A member of the Twelve Archipelago Powers!?”

”Sea clan...”

Jian Cangqiong and others furrowed their brows.

”His talent is a bloodline talent, and his Martial Soul is also a Bloodline Martial Soul. Moreover, he hails from a family where seniors cultivate in this Great Dao. Do you think there is a need for him to travel all that way to Canglan Continent to study at our Changlin Academy?”

Jiang Chen spoke in a deep voice.

”This... could he be here to hunt you down?”

Hu Yiqiu looked slightly worried at Jiang Chen.

”Probably not! He doesn’t know me! The ones who recognize me now are likely only their strongest, and someone who broke off from their allegiance. All others who have seen me are dead! And if they did recognize me, the strongest in their power would personally come to hunt me down!”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

All dead!? Only the strongest know you?! If they recognize you, their strongest will personally come to hunt you down?

In other words, you could provoke twelve strong individuals at least at the late Integration Realm to want to personally hunt you down?!

The crowd looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, their hearts trembling violently.

Cultivators in the Semi Divine Infant Realm who can be remembered by late Integration Realm powerhouses are few indeed. Some of those powerhouses don’t even recognize their own descendants, yet twelve strong individuals at late Integration Realm and even the Pinnacle Realm want to hunt Jiang Chen down?

This is simply...

What exactly is his identity?! How many more secrets does he have?!

In just a few short days, the revelations from Jiang Chen have been more shocking than the centuries Jian Cangqiong and the others have lived!
