Dashing Student-Chapter 1225: The Operation Moves Up

Chen Nan originally planned to wait for a while, at least until his injuries healed somewhat, before dealing with Luo Tuo, who was after all a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm Fifth Level.

With just his physical strength left, Chen Nan could protect himself, but it would be bad if Zhong Ling got hurt.

Unfortunately, plans can’t keep up with changes. Zhong Ling’s identity was exposed, and they could no longer hide.

"There are very few people left on this island now, even if I kill Luo Tuo, no one will know it was me, I can act without worry."

Chen Nan muttered to himself. In the past few days, he had left the mines to explore other parts of the island. Apart from Luo Tuo’s residence in the center of the island, there were very few people elsewhere.

Especially after the last beast tide, even those originally from the island dared not continue to stay and fled one after another.

These mortals were not even as good as ants in Luo Tuo’s eyes, and couldn’t even mine effectively, so he didn’t care about their stay.

On the entire Luoyue Island, apart from guards, overseers, and miners, there were hardly any other people.

"Who are you? Quick, report to Lord Luo Tuo, and say someone is causing chaos in the mines!" shouted an overseer hastily.

Several mine guards heard and quickly ran outside, looking more like they were fleeing for their lives than reporting.

Chen Nan sneered. Even if he couldn’t use mana, his speed was not something a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators could compare to. With a sudden stomp on the ground, his body shot out.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of several guards, blocking their path.

The guards exchanged glances, then brandished their weapons and attacked Chen Nan.

With a clang, the guards’ weapons landed on Chen Nan, but only the sound of steel clashing was heard, causing no injury to Chen Nan.

Chen Nan smiled and snatched a weapon, discovering that it was not only a Ninth-grade Spiritual Artifact but also a poorly crafted product, far inferior to those on the Nine Provinces Continent.

With force, he folded the Ninth-grade Spiritual Artifact as if it was a lump of scrap iron, and threw it aside.

This scene elicited gasps from the miners; bending a Ninth-grade Spiritual Artifact barehanded, how strong must his physique be?

"Ling’er, do you know him?" Gao Xue stared fixedly at Chen Nan, yet to recover from the shock.

Zhong Ling smiled sweetly: "Yes, I know him. He is my master."

"Master?"

Gao Xue and others were even more surprised, then they became ecstatic, doesn’t that mean he’s on their side?

From afar, Chen Nan merely flicked his fingers, and several guards were sent flying and embedded into the mountain, then he walked back step by step.

The overseers were all terrified, knowing they were doomed, they turned to Zhong Ling and others, maliciousness brewing inside, rushing over intending to seize Zhong Ling.

But just then, a little monkey popped out from behind Zhong Ling and punched the overseer’s face, causing him to fly back faster, landing with no sound afterwards.

Apparently killed by Shi Zhongsheng with one punch.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak."

The little monkey leapt onto Zhong Ling’s shoulder, baring its teeth at the overseers, causing them to step back in unison.

Gao Xue and others were ecstatic, not expecting surprises besides Chen Nan?

"Master!"

Seeing Chen Nan return, Zhong Ling hurried over and pointed at Gao Xue’s group: "Master, do you have a way to save Auntie Xue and the others?"

The overseers and guards were sidelined, none daring to move, wishing Chen Nan would forget them.

Such a terrifying person, having bent a Ninth-grade Spiritual Artifact barehanded, whose fault was it that brought such a person?

The burly man who found Chen Nan was sneezing hard far away from Luoyue Island.

"Ahchoo! Is someone cursing me?"

He was also about to leave the vicinity of Luoyue Island.

Though he didn’t know why Chen Nan concealed his strength, he knew Luoyue Island would never be peaceful again, now was the best time to leave.

Underneath the mines, facing Zhong Ling’s request, Chen Nan smiled dotingly.

"No big deal, but our actions must be expedited."

Chen Nan couldn’t harden his heart against his little disciple, he had no choice but to pamper her.

He came to Gao Xue, under her unabashedly admiring gaze, grabbing the iron chains shackle.

"We still need the keys, these shackles are so hard, not even Seventh Grade Spiritual Artifacts can break them..."

Before she finished, Chen Nan’s hands exerted force, the shackles were deformed and then torn apart!

Gao Xue stood there dazed, then stared at Chen Nan with increasingly fervent eyes, making him uneasy.

"You... what do you want?" Chen Nan took a step back.

Gao Xue quickly said: "Don’t get me wrong, I just want to be your Dao companion. I love powerful men like you!"

Chen Nan almost spat old blood, looking at Gao Xue suspiciously, wondering if something was wrong with her head.

Zhong Ling swiftly walked over, smilingly explained: "Auntie Xue loves powerful cultivators, that’s why she’s been single all along, Master, why don’t you consider it?"

Chen Nan pointed at the badly injured Li Songnian, helplessly said: "Rather than think about this, why not check on him lest he dies here."

Only then did everyone remember the previously beaten Li Songnian and hurried over.

Chen Nan helped free them from their shackles, restoring them as cultivators, while sharing his healing pills to aid their recovery.

The freshly liberated individuals were so emotional they almost shed tears, kneeling on one knee before Chen Nan, except Gao Xue who didn’t kneel.

"Senior, you saved our lives, our lives are now yours, if you want us east, we will never go west!"

Having regained cultivation, Li Songnian was no longer moribund, looking somewhat resentful at Gao Xue: "Why didn’t you kneel?"

Gao Xue raised her head, confident: "Soon, I’ll be Senior’s Dao companion, it’s good I didn’t ask you to kneel for me."

"Shameless!" Li Songnian turned his head, murmuring quietly.

Gao Xue was unfazed, even a bit proud: "I do as I please! You seem jealous of me too, but too bad you’re not a girl; Senior is for me alone to enjoy!"

Chen Nan suddenly felt a chill, why did he feel like a dish?

"Ahem, I haven’t agreed to anything yet, you needn’t call me Senior thereafter, I have a name, you can call me Jue Mingzi."

Gao Xue was the first to respond, looking at Chen Nan with deep affection.

"Okay, Jue Mingzi! Our names really go together perfectly!"
