Chapter 834 - 644: Yes, I Am Playing You. _2

Ai Lin merely smiled, "Very well, Your Highness the Third Prince, you just let an assassin slip away."

St. Antonio, the Third Prince, first was taken aback, then his face flushed red. Just now, he had sensed a huge surge of Magic in Ai Lin’s bedroom, along with a confrontation of Mana, and he had also heard cursing inside. He immediately deduced that a battle must have taken place. In theory, Ai Lin was so powerful that there was no need to worry about any danger. But if he rushed in, he would certainly gain her favor, right?

So after some thought, Prince St. Antonio directly requested the guards to break down the door and rushed in. The moment the door was broken, the Magic Ai Lin had set up on it vanished, and Jenna—who had been prepared for a fight to the death—immediately lost her will to battle. Although her Neglecter’s talent was ineffective against Ai Lin, it worked on others, and all Prince St. Antonio felt was a gust of wind.

"Assassin? Who?" Prince St. Antonio still asked.

"Jenna," Ai Lin said.

"Jenna? Which Jenna?" St. Antonio did not catch on at first.

"Are there many Jennas then? The Sanctuary Mage, Jenna," Ai Lin continued.

"The perpetually youthful Neglecter! Jenna!" Prince St. Antonio immediately recognized her name. The former made her the savior of all dying old mages, and the latter made Jenna the world’s most formidable assassin. Jenna’s assassination methods were not particularly clever, but her Neglecter’s talent gave her countless time and opportunities.

Realizing he had actually let Jenna go, Prince St. Antonio appeared very dejected. Ai Lin briefly relayed what had just happened. Then Prince St. Antonio left, as he needed to report the incident to the Emperor himself immediately. While most people viewed Jenna as a free spirit making her living through Rejuvenation, only a few knew that Jenna had actually served the Sanctuary Empire for a long time.

In other words, Jenna’s assassination attempt was definitely linked to the Sanctuary Empire, and with this incident, Ai Lin’s identity as a Sanctuary Mage was naturally exposed.

However, Ai Lin didn’t care about that. In fact, if she wanted to kill Jenna, there were plenty of opportunities, but she refrained from doing so. Her aim was to let Jenna leave in anger, letting that anger gradually transfer from Ai Lin herself to the Divine Auffa Empire. There might be countless reasons for a war between two nations, but there could only be one catalyst. Although a war wouldn’t erupt immediately, Ai Lin was quite pleased to add another reason for a possible future conflict.

Thus, Jenna left the Divine Auffa Empire quickly with her aged body. The Magic Ai Lin had cast on her soon wore off, and she once again regained her youthful appearance. However, her resentment toward Ai Lin reached unprecedented levels. From being played with at the beginning, to being reverted to her true age, every action was the ultimate humiliation to her! It could be said that it was more unbearable than death itself!

But she didn’t choose to seek revenge, because she knew that Ai Lin nearly countered her in every aspect. Especially since Ai Lin’s strength was also above that of the Sanctuary, this was particularly daunting to her. And what was most astonishing was that her aging Magic had no effect on Ai Lin!

No, not ineffective. Jenna was certain that her Magic had indeed started to take effect, especially since Ai Lin temporarily seemed to mature. But the reason for the Magic’s failure was that Ai Lin’s lifespan was simply too long! Even aging her by three hundred years was not enough to make her old!

How did she manage that? There was no creature in this Plane with such an incredibly long life!

Could it be that she had found a way to extend life through Magic?

Yes! That had to be it! No, I must get that Magic! I must capture Ai Lin! Torment her, make her reveal the secrets of this Magic!

At this time, Long Yi was making a splash in the Arena, causing a frenzy with the grand tour of the four major Arenas. He swept through the four major Arenas with an undefeated momentum. Although the top Powerhouses from the Arenas had not directly faced Long Yi, the audiences felt he was no less than them!

And the tour matches truly showed everyone Long Yi’s strength as a future contender for the title of King of the Stellar Realm’s Arena.

After the tourney, Long Yi’s earnings increased significantly. And finally, his ladder matches restarted.

The first three matches were almost a foregone conclusion, the warriors were strong enough, but they were certainly not as powerful as Long Yi. The warrior who was originally ranked ninth because Long Yi killed the Sword of Destruction, who was in the eighth place, took over that rank. But when Long Yi appeared, he was relegated back to ninth. Such were the thrilling highs and lows of life.

After the third match, Long Yi returned to the backstage to rest only to find Brick, the Heavy Hammer, waiting in his dressing room.

Ever since Long Yi defeated him last time, he had been clinging to Long Yi. And what he wanted was simple: to know how Long Yi heated his armor out of thin air. Long Yi just refused to tell him. But this Brick really had patience. He always showed up in every corner around Long Yi, incessantly asking, never stopping. And Long Yi wasn’t annoyed; he simply wouldn’t say.

"Not saying."

Before Brick could even open his mouth, Long Yi had already spoken.

"Hehe, I haven’t even asked yet!"

Brick’s big face, covered in a beard, carried a smile that seemed to plead.

"Even if you ask, I won’t say," Long Yi replied.

"Don’t be hasty, today I’ve brought you some truly valuable information! It’s about your next opponent! I guarantee it’s worth your secret," Brick said with great mystery.

"Not very interested," Long Yi shook his head.

"Come on! It’s really dangerous this time! My most reliable informant told me about this—absolute truth! If you aren’t careful, there’s a good chance you’ll take a nasty fall," Brick urged urgently.

"Really? What could be so dangerous?"

Long Yi picked up his match schedule; his next opponent was a female mage. Mages weren’t uncommon in the arena. With their versatile magic combinations and powerful bursts, mages could also hold their ground here. For a fragile mage to make a mark in a place dominated by warriors, they would need more talent. Typically, the mages in the arena didn’t necessarily possess exceptional strength but were certainly the most mentally agile of the lot. In this plane, mages were highly valued because once combat reached cosmic dimensions, magic usually offered more flexibility and destructive power than Fighting Aura. The two famed powers in this plane, The Divine Auffa Empire and the Sanctuary Empire, both revered magic, and the status of mages far exceeded that of warriors.

So generally, the mages who came to the arena were those honing their combative skills. And these people were often tricky customers.

However, even so, Long Yi didn’t really think there was anything to worry about, after all, he was also a mage. Mage versus mage was just the same old drill.

"No! I heard that a big shot wants you dead, they secretly swapped that mage," Brick said.

"Swapped? Swapped with what? A dragon?" Long Yi laughed.

"A dragon? Those pitiful creatures waiting to die in their sleep? How could that be! According to my informant, they swapped that mage with a Sanctuary Mage!" Brick lowered his voice, speaking in a spine-chilling tone.

"A procreation mage? Is that some new line of research?" Long Yi was puzzled.

"Sanctuary Mage!" Brick could hardly believe that Long Yi had no idea what a Sanctuary Mage was!

It was then that Long Yi realized he had never taken an interest in how power levels were classified in this plane.

When Brick heard Long Yi ask this question, he burst into laughter: "You can’t be serious! Buddy, you really don’t know?"

Long Yi lips curled: "Yeah, not only do I not know about that, but I’ve also suddenly forgotten some knowledge..." (To be continued.
