Chapter 77: The protagonist turned into a turncoat serving three masters, while the villain had already taken the supreme fortune.

“Oh?”

Ning Bei’s lips curved into a smile;

He followed Qin Jiujiu’s gaze and asked, “You mean… that flickering aura of thunder?”

“You sensed it too?”

Qin Jiujiu widened her beautiful eyes.

“Let’s go!”

Ning Bei gave a gentle smile, said no more, and dashed deeper inside with her.

Before long.

A glaring ball of blue light entered their sight, accompanied by a harsh sizzle as though electricity were shrieking.

“What is that…?”

Qin Jiujiu was stunned by the scene before her.

Right now, a strange object the size of a sunflower seed hovered in front of them, its dusky blue body constantly releasing bouquets of lightning in every direction.

“It is Thunder-Dragon essence blood,” Ning Bei said with a smile.

“You recognize it?” Qin Jiujiu was surprised again, then delighted. “I never thought the blood of that creature would appear here. Husband, our luck is amazing!”

“Indeed!”

Ning Bei smiled and did not deny it.

A chance bestowed by the Heavenly Dao upon its favored son was no trifling matter.

“Quickly, husband,” Qin Jiujiu urged after her brief astonishment. “Refine this drop of essence; even if you fail to comprehend the law of lightning, it will still greatly aid your future cultivation of the Great Thousand Thunder Mantra.”

“Alright.”

Ning Bei did not stand on ceremony.

After glancing at the other items scattered on the ground, he walked toward the Thunder-Dragon essence blood.

He was determined to obtain it!

Boom…

Moments later, the mountain quivered as though shaken by an earthquake, catching everyone off guard.

“What happened inside?”

“Crap, could Ning Bei’s group be in danger?”

“……”

Wuyue narrowed his aged eyes and then relaxed his brow. “No need to panic, everyone. Ning Bei merely found a great opportunity.”

“A… great opportunity?”

The crowd looked at one another, their worry turning into curiosity.

“For such a commotion, what kind of opportunity did Ning Bei discover?”

“As expected of Senior Brother Ning; he truly possesses a destiny-blessed body.”

“To have Ning Bei as a disciple is heaven’s favor toward Heavenly Martial Academy.”

“…..”

Compared with the delighted crowd, Qin Yu now felt so angry he wanted to cry.

The map was in his hands, and he had left everyone behind to hurry alone to Shura Cliff, so why was he the last to arrive?

Could anyone tell him why?

This was no fun at all… it made zero sense.

“I don’t get it!”

The more Qin Yu thought about it, the more stifled he became.

He had been full of confidence, certain the chance would fall into his pocket, yet why had it become Ning Bei’s in the end?

Smack!

At that moment, Wang Teng slapped him. “What are you yelling for? You’re not supposed to understand. Senior Brother Ning has the bearing of a true god… how could trash like you comprehend him?”

“You actually hit me…”

Qin Yu grew furious out of humiliation.

They had already given him a beating earlier, and at least there had been a reason then, but what right did they have to hit him now?

Wasn’t he even allowed to be confused?

Before he could voice his displeasure, Zhao Ming kicked him. “How dare you curse Wang Teng? Don’t you know even Senior Brother Ning says he has the potential of a Great Emperor?”

“You guys…?”

Qin Yu felt numb when he heard that.

Given his current situation, he did not even have the courage to retort, for these people would truly beat him to death.

In the end, he could only slink away.

Looking across the entire Heavenly Martial Academy, he now could not find a single person to confide in.

He still had Lin Yueyao before…

At that thought, Qin Yu hurriedly looked around, trying to find the girl’s figure, since she used to stand close to him.

But now… Lin Yueyao avoided him as if he were a pesky plaster.

This time Qin Yu not only lost the opportunity, even the girl who had once seen him as her white moonlight abandoned him in public.

The more Qin Yu thought, the worse he felt.

There was nothing worth his attachment in Heavenly Martial Academy anymore; if Qitian Academy and the prince’s estate were not hunting him, he would have left the academy already.

“No, I have to stay here.”

Remembering his mother’s instructions sobered Qin Yu.

A moment later.

Thick-skinned, he pulled Li Shen aside. “Elder Li, my mother gave me these spirit items, but my meridians are ruined now; using them on me would be a waste.”

“Oh?”

Looking at the benefits Qin Yu handed over, Li Shen was surprised. “Your mother gave you these? She escaped from the prince’s estate?”

“Yes.”

“Then where is she now?”

“?”

Qin Yu froze.

“Cough!” Realizing he had lost composure, Li Shen lowered his voice. “Don’t misunderstand, Qin Yu. I have always treated you like my child; I’m simply worried about your family’s safety.”

“…..”

Qin Yu looked as if his worldview were shattered.

But under another’s roof, he had to bow his head.

“Thank you for your concern, Elder Li.” Qin Yu forced a smile and pushed the items over. “Consider this my filial respect, please do accept them.”

Li Shen no longer stood on courtesy and pocketed the goods without a trace. “Child, your own life is hard, yet you’re still so filial… sigh, you make me want to take you as a godson.”

“Really?”

“Of course. I have remained unmarried all my life,” Li Shen said solemnly. “If you are willing, I can take you as my adopted son right now, and we will call each other father and son from now on.”

“I…”

Qin Yu was moved and had yet to speak; suddenly, he caught the lewd, scheming look in Li Shen’s eyes.

Damn it!

Once he realized it, Qin Yu nearly cursed aloud.

Yet because of the man’s status and his own predicament, this seemed to be an opportunity he could ill afford to miss.

After struggling in his heart, Qin Yu finally forced himself to say, “Godfather above, please accept Yu’er’s bow.”

“Eh, good, good.”

Li Shen hurried to help him up and sighed. “I never thought I, Li Shen, would pick up a son in this lifetime. Yu’er, from now on you are no longer just a part-time disciple but my adopted son. I will personally guide you in cultivating the Golden Vajra Scripture.”

“Thank you, godfather.”

“We are father and son; there’s no need for thanks,” Li Shen waved his hand and laughed. “Since we are family, your family is mine as well. Find a chance to bring your mother to Heavenly Martial Academy; a lone woman wandering outside is worrisome.”

“…..”

Qin Yu’s mouth twitched at his words, yet he could only force a smile. “Thank you, godfather… you are truly kind!”

“Haha, then I’ll go report this to the Grand Preceptor first.”

Li Shen left in satisfaction.

Gazing at the man’s lewd departing back, Qin Yu gnashed his teeth. “This is the last time… Mother, this is the last time I exploit you.”

“I swear, once I turn things around this time, I will never let you suffer again.”

Qin Yu clenched his fist.

His fighting spirit ignited once more; after all, he held the complete Golden Vajra Scripture, which could not only temper his body but also repair meridians.

He could definitely stage a comeback!

At this moment, Ning Bei had already refined the Thunder-Dragon essence blood.

Under the influence of the Thunder-Dragon essence blood, the power within him was sublimated; arcs of lightning flickered visibly around him, accompanied by faint dragon roars.

Especially when he opened his eyes, dazzling electric light burst from his pupils, unleashing incomparable pressure.

Even though he had yet to master the Great Thousand Thunder Mantra, he already possessed unfathomable thunder power; if he later mastered that mantra… he would truly add wings to a tiger!

“Little Jiujiu.”

Ning Bei suddenly looked up at the girl, a curve at the corner of his mouth. “You might suffer a lot from now on~”
