Chapter 931 - 704 Handsome Young Man

At this moment, the golden light around Soro had completely disappeared. He collapsed onto the ground, weak and limp, unable to move even an inch!

"You wanted to crush me, didn’t you?" Long Yi lifted his foot high.

"No!" Landers screamed, but it was already too late. The foot stomped down heavily, leaving an extremely deep footprint in the ground.

Saint Danze closed his eyes.

He had suspected early on that Long Yi might very well be victorious, but he had not anticipated such a dominant victory. Long Yi had defeated his opponent in such a manner that if word got out, Adaman would be furious, wouldn’t it? However, he had foreseen this outcome before making his decision. Since Long Yi was so dominant now, could it mean that Long Yi’s teacher was also incredibly strong? By extension, even if Adaman himself came here, he might not fare well.

Long Yi gradually returned to normal, then flew up and landed in front of Landers.

"Go tell that Adaman to send me more students for my amusement when I am bored. Of course, it would be even better if he isn’t afraid to come in person. But even if he doesn’t come, after I finish up my business at hand, I will go find him myself. I think he wouldn’t dare to hide from me where he lives."

Long Yi looked at Landers with a smile, while Landers, though furious, didn’t dare to make any rash moves. This Long Yi was even stronger than he had imagined—he could learn the enemy’s proud abilities! And what was most sinister was that he could even learn such magic that required the strength of a Giant!

"I will bring your message to my teacher," Landers said coldly.

"Thank you very much!" Long Yi said, then turned and left.

Landers looked at the red footprint where Long Yi had been standing. Not long ago, Soro was boasting about how he would defeat Long Yi, but now he had become nothing more than a footprint of another. A gloom settled over Landers’ heart. Although Soro was young, he had been a classmate, and to be so dominantly killed by Long Yi soon after arriving in the Empire of the Sanctuary... It wasn’t just about how much anger Adaman would have towards Long Yi, Landers himself might not escape unscathed.

But no matter what, he had to report to his teacher. Whatever the final outcome, it had to be decided by his teacher.

During this time, not only the Empire of the Sanctuary but also The Divine Auffa Empire welcomed a student of an Ancient Powerhouse.

As a famous student of the Ancient Powerhouse, Lou Aran, Oran received a warm welcome upon joining The Divine Auffa Empire. Saint Jialin personally held a grand welcome banquet for Oran. However, Oran was somewhat distracted at the banquet, since he had another purpose.

"Excuse me, where is Miss Ailin?" Finally unable to hold back, Oran asked Gridis beside him.

"Miss Ailin generally doesn’t take part in such activities," Gridis replied.

"Ah? You should have said so earlier. If I had known she wouldn’t be here, why would I have come?" Oran gave Gridis a dissatisfied glance, completely ignoring the astonished look on Emperor Saint Jialin’s face and brazenly left the banquet.

"That bastard probably really thinks that just because he’s handsome, he can be invincible in this world," remarked Saint Cassio.

"Humph, clearly, he’s been studying with an Ancient Powerhouse since he was young and thinks he’s one of them. Yet he’s forgotten that he’s still wearing a student’s title on his head," Saint Antonio said with a disdainful sneer.

Saint Julio just watched but didn’t speak. Ever since he acquired new power, Saint Julio had changed his usual ways. It was as if he had become a different person, beginning to study magic fervently while losing interest in such affairs. Following Oran’s departure, he also left.

"Looks like he’s here specifically for Miss Ailin," August noted.

"Whoever he’s here for, at least we’ve done our part. As long as Lou Aran can’t find fault with us, that’s enough. However, the question is whether Miss Ailin will take a fancy to this handsome young man."

"Brother, where can I find Miss Ailin?" Oran asked Gridis impatiently.

"At this time, Miss Ailin should still be researching the Teleportation Gate, right?" Gridis suggested.

"That’s great! Let’s go find her!" Oran grabbed Gridis, urging him to lead the way.

"Ah, Oran, rushing over like this doesn’t seem quite right, does it? Shouldn’t we prepare a bit before our first visit to Miss Ailin?" Gridis didn’t feel it was appropriate.

"No need! I’m no inexperienced novice! My teacher often had me venture out on my own. The girls, one after another, would look as if they’d been spellbound, obediently following my every word, and then... hahaha! You know what I mean!" Oran said with a reminiscent look on his face.

"That’s a spell, isn’t it?" Gridis inquired.

"A permanent Charm spell, it works wonders on any girl!" Oran boasted.

"That might not work on Miss Ailin, to tell you the truth. Her mastery of magic is far above mine. Let’s go back and prepare a bit first," Gridis still felt uneasy.

"Gridis!" Oran finally grew angry, his handsome face twisting sinisterly, "Are you so insistent on preventing me from seeing Miss Ailin because you have feelings for her?"

Gridis was stunned, then violently shook his head, "How could that be! I’m an old man already!"

But Oran let out a cold laugh, "You’re not an old man! Look at yourself now, quite young indeed!"

Only then did Gridis remember that he had become young again because of the Rejuvenation spell.

"Even so, this is impossible, the age gap is too large, and you should not spout nonsense!" Gridis had always been a very upright person and he couldn’t accept such an accusation.

"Since that’s the case, just stand there quietly and watch, no need for so much idle talk!" Oran said with a fierce look in his eyes.

Gridis sighed helplessly and could only follow Oran all the way to the massive underground space where the Teleportation Gate was located.

As expected, Ai Lin was still there, her back to them, continuing to write something in her little notebook.

When Oran caught sight of Ai Lin from a distance, his eyes almost immediately lit up. Even though he couldn’t see Ai Lin’s face, just her silhouette was enough to make Oran’s heart race. Her form-fitting silver armament outlined the girl’s fine curves, and the continually changing runes on it proved that Ai Lin’s strength was definitely not weak.

Hearing someone behind her, Ai Lin turned around, and when Oran saw her face, he felt his heartbeat slow for a moment.

Although he had some experience, he had never met a girl as beautiful as Ai Lin. Thus, Oran, as he always did, puffed up his chest and walked forward, seizing Ai Lin’s hand, "Dear Miss Ai Lin, your beauty has left me completely enamored. May I have the honor of making you my woman?"

As he spoke, Oran lifted Ai Lin’s hand to his lips.

With a weighty kiss, Oran kissed his own hand, as Ai Lin, who had already pulled her hand back, looked at Oran as if he were a lunatic.

"Have you lost your mind?" Ai Lin shook off her hand as though something unclean had just been transferred from Oran’s hand.

Oran was shocked, since this move had always been very effective. All girls were turned head over heels the moment they saw him, unable to extricate themselves. If he successfully kissed the back of a girl’s hand, the effects of the charm would greatly increase. The girl would completely become Oran’s plaything, and she would never resist whatever Oran asked of her. Even if she came to her senses later, the girl would just think she had been blinded by a sudden rush of love, rather than being enchanted.

It could be said that Oran had never failed before. But now, in front of Ai Lin, he had.

Oran was still in a daze, when Gridis hurriedly walked over.

"Miss Ai Lin, this gentleman named Oran, like me, is a student of Lou Aran. We have joined The Divine Auffa Empire following our teacher’s command," said Gridis.

Ai Lin looked at Oran, then nodded her head, "Oran, right? Pleased to meet you. You should go report to the Emperor; it’s not my responsibility to receive newcomers."

Ai Lin waved her hand as she spoke, clearly signaling them to leave.

"Miss Ai Lin, I actually came here especially for you!"

Oran rallied his spirits and continued, with his charm enhanced.

"For me?" Ai Lin was puzzled, "Why are you looking for me? I don’t know you or your teacher."

"It’s because I’ve heard of Miss Ai Lin’s beauty that the moment I came to The Divine Auffa Empire, I came to find you!" Oran continued politely.

"Well then, I appreciate that. Now that you’ve seen me, is there anything else?" Ai Lin was completely unmoved.

"Uh, this..." Oran suddenly felt at a loss. In reality, he had very little experience with girls because wherever he went, nearly every girl would throw herself at him due to his charm spell. The moment the charm failed, he genuinely didn’t know what to do.

"Shall we go?" Gridis whispered from the side.

"No!" Oran’s eyes flashed with a strange light. "I still have some questions that I’d like to ask Miss Ai Lin privately!"

As he spoke, Oran took a step forward.

But Ai Lin laughed, "You can ask me questions, but you’d better back off a little. And tone down that charming glare in your eyes, it’s too glaring with all that shimmering."

Oran’s white face immediately flushed red. His charming abilities were nearly always foolproof, never failing, and no girl could ever resist his allure. Even if a girl naturally resisted charm, no one could break free from the charming glow. Yet Ai Lin was not only unmoved but even pointed out his charming glare!

Even Gridis felt his face burning with embarrassment, being called out for using charm on a girl was utterly humiliating!(To be continued.
