Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 35-

Chu Lingjun added, "What I just said about annihilating the Su Family includes killing Su Miaoyu."

In an instant, everyone’s expression changed drastically, shocked once again by Chu Lingjun’s words.

To win over Long Chen, is Chu Lingjun really willing to kill Su Miaoyu, the carrier of the Emperor Meridians?

"Big Brother Shangguan..." Su Miaoyu’s face turned pale, and she began to panic.

Shangguan Ming laughed dryly. "Junior Sister Chu, you must be joking. Although Miaoyu has not yet perfectly fused with the Emperor Meridians, it’s only a matter of time..."

Before Shangguan Ming could finish, Chu Lingjun cut him off. "My mind is made up. You need not say more." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Chu Lingjun looked at Long Chen and continued, "I can also help you kill Shangguan Ming. The promises I am making to you are things the Human Institute cannot possibly offer."

Everyone gasped, and the way they looked at Long Chen noticeably changed.

"What kind of constitution does Long Chen have to make Chu Lingjun try so hard to recruit him?"

"Chu Lingjun is truly formidable! As expected of the strongest disciple of the Martial Ancestor Sect, she was able to see through Long Chen’s constitution!"

"Indeed. Even now, I still have no idea what his constitution is."

The crowd’s chatter caused Long Chen’s brow to furrow. He couldn’t help but use his spiritual sense to ask Xia Duoduo, Has she seen through my constitution? The Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body is stronger than the Emperor Meridians; it’s the strongest constitution of all time. Did Chu Lingjun really see through it with a single glance?

Xia Duoduo sent back a mental denial. "That’s impossible! Young Master, you haven’t revealed your Divine Demon Battle Qi, nor have you had any physical contact with Chu Lingjun. To discern your constitution simply by looking at you? Even the old monsters of the God-Devil Domain couldn’t do that!"

The so-called Divine Demon Battle Qi only manifested when its user unleashed the Secret Technique of Gods and Demons—Dragon Blood Boiling—at full combat power. However, Long Chen had merely lifted the cauldron. He hadn’t used Dragon Blood Boiling at all. Besides, even if Long Chen had used Dragon Blood Boiling, Chu Lingjun would have needed to know the specific characteristics of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body to recognize it.

If she doesn’t know what my constitution is, then why is she trying so desperately to recruit me? Long Chen was baffled. Was it merely because I utterly defeated Su Miaoyu in the cauldron-lifting contest? Su Miaoyu possesses the Emperor Meridians, which is openly acknowledged as the strongest aptitude. It’s indeed only a matter of time before she perfectly fuses with it! Even if Su Miaoyu had no intention of entering the Heaven Institute, surely Chu Lingjun wouldn’t go so far as to harm the interests of the Martial Ancestor Sect by killing her, right?

"Junior Sister Chu! You’re blatantly using Long Chen as an excuse to seize the opportunity to kill Su Miaoyu, the carrier of the Emperor Meridians!" Shangguan Ming suddenly roared, his face livid. "Are you afraid that one day, when she perfectly fuses with the Emperor Meridians, she will surpass you?"

His words sparked a sudden realization in everyone. Perhaps that was Chu Lingjun’s true motive! After all, the Emperor Meridians were the strongest aptitude. Once Su Miaoyu perfectly fused with them, she was destined to become a peerless powerhouse. If Chu Lingjun wanted to defeat the Su Miaoyu of the future, she would need to possess the Emperor Meridians herself, or an aptitude that was in no way inferior.

"Big Brother Shangguan is right! You’re just jealous of me!" Su Miaoyu’s face turned frosty with malice as she pointed at Chu Lingjun and shouted coldly, "You’re afraid I’ll surpass you and steal your title as the greatest genius!"

Chu Lingjun suddenly chuckled softly. She offered no other words, neither confirming nor denying the accusation.

But Long Chen could see the disdain in Chu Lingjun’s eyes.

Clearly, Chu Lingjun has no intention of using this as an opportunity to eliminate Su Miaoyu; she isn’t afraid of being surpassed at all! This disdain also represents her absolute confidence!

"Long Chen, you should give me your answer now," Chu Lingjun asked coolly.

Long Chen composed himself and cupped his fists. "I am grateful for your kind offer, Miss Chu. However, my mind is already made up..."

"Very well. You need not say more. Since you’re so determined to seek death, I won’t stop you any longer." Chu Lingjun interrupted coldly, shaking her head with a scornful smile. "To think a mere War Master would fantasize about defeating a War Maniac—especially one who possesses the Emperor Meridians. You even rejected the incredible promises I made to you. Your loyalty is admirable, but utterly pitiful."

Clearly, Chu Lingjun thought the same as everyone else: Long Chen stood no chance against Su Miaoyu.

Although ’War Master’ and ’War Maniac’ differ by only a single word, the gap in their combat power was worlds apart. Moreover, a War Maniac who possessed the Emperor Meridians would be even stronger.

"Long Chen is a true fool! No wonder Su Miaoyu was able to steal his Emperor Meridians!"

"Exactly! He threw away the chance to become the Junior Institute Master of the Martial Ancestor’s Heaven Institute, choosing instead to be a lowly disciple in the Human Institute!"

"Isn’t that the truth? He could have had Chu Lingjun kill Su Miaoyu, eradicate the Su Family, and even kill Shangguan Ming."

For a moment, the crowd was abuzz with disdainful chatter.

However, no one was happier than Shangguan Ming, Su Miaoyu, and the entire Su Family. From the bottom of their hearts, they all thanked Long Chen for being such a fool.

Long Chen ignored them, turning to look at Long Xin. "Sister Xin, it’s your turn to lift the cauldron."
