Martial Research Master-Chapter 359

359 THE RETURN TO THUNDER ACADEMY-Li Meng slowly took a plaque out of his ring and broke it. It was the one that was presented to him by Ren Wang. It was to be broken once he managed to complete the task. To his surprise, Ren Wang arrived minutes later as if he was lurking around the corner.

“You managed to complete the task. Have you gathered all the herbs?”

“I have managed to do so. You can check them out.” Li Meng handed a ring to Ren Wang who began to examine it. He was shocked to see the sheer quantity of all the desired herbs. Li Meng managed to outdo himself.

“The task is a success. Well done. You have the directions to reach Thunder Academy and meet with the master to report the completion of your tasks. Also, we have managed to eliminate all the enemies who have been following you until now, but no more. Whatever happens to you on the way is your responsibility.”

“Also, by the very moment that you step into the Thunder Academy, Thunder Child will be made aware of your return and he will be out to attack you. Beware of him.” Ren Wang suggested Li Meng start preparing for the actual battle even within the academy.

“The yearly competition is drawing near. I initially expected you to take the whole time allotted but you finished way earlier than I thought. What do you want to do now?”

“I would like to go on a special voyage and explore the central plains. I request you to permit me since I have already completed the task.”

“Well, it’s your wish. But I do hope that you could return to the academy before stepping into the peak of the Qi King realm. The gift which I have prepared for you is quite useful. But it can only be used before the Qi Emperor realm.”

“I will try my best to return before that.” Li Meng said and went another way.

.....

“I didn’t I tell you that we are underestimating our younger brother. He is way talented than you think. If I am not wrong, he is already at the peak of 8th stage Qi King. He should be at the last stage the next time we meet. I have never heard of a Qi general breaking into the Qi Emperor realm within a single year. He might have been the first one to do that.” Ren Wang spoke.

“Why didn’t you tell him the whole story? There are a lot of practitioners lying in wait within the nearby regions of the academy. They will start challenging him the very moment he steps within the borders of the academy. They will most probably try to either capture him or kill him.”

“Well, we will still be present to not let any Qi Emperor attack him. He could easily take care of the Qi Kings himself.”

“You sound too confident in him.”

“Do you know what I felt when I sensed his energy today?”

“What?” Ren Dao seemed uninterested.

“I felt intimidated. I felt threatening energy being emitted out of his body that simply felt like the Heaven itself.”

“You are overstating things now.” Ren Dao commented.

‘I am not. That is the best representation of what I felt. Our junior brother is not only mysterious, but he is also crazy powerful. I don’t think there exists a QI King who could confront him anymore.”

The two men stood there with skepticism all over their faces.

.......................

Li Meng had perfectly planned the whole trip. He was going to be busy practicing the newly acquired art from Huang and also start practicing Body cultivation once again. There was another breakthrough to formulate a Chaos law base. Only after he breaks through the barriers of Chaos law will he be returning to the academy.

In the meantime, he would be busy with training and finding more resources. His first destination was the Taiwan mountains. He needed to collect a lot of herbs from there and also check on the force he had left behind. It had been three months since he had left and wanted to see if there had been any improvements in the power of the group.

The next objective was to continue his experiments on the herb potions and try to open up a portal to Hell and experience the power. There were too many things to do and too little time to do them.

Thunder Academy-

“So all our men were killed by the two people I hate most in the world.” Google search ƒ𝐫𝒆e𝓌𝒆𝚋𝗻૦𝘷𝑒𝙡. 𝑐𝘰𝐦

“Yes, master. They mercilessly killed all my brothers. They didn’t even take one of them as a hostage. All of them were ripped apart.” The leader of the squad said in a painful voice. He had battled together with his men for a long time. He didn’t expect to see all of them die.”

Thunder Child had a grave expression on his face. This was a huge deal. He didn’t expect the third and fourth disciples of his enemy to have accompanied his new disciple. Much less, they directly interfered and killed all his men. This was a huge tarnish to his reputation and ego, but he couldn’t speak out since it would seem like he was the one at fault for trying to assassinate a new disciple.

“Have any of them managed to establish a communication with Li Meng?”

“No sir. They never reached Li Meng to convey your message.”

“Call all your men back to the academy and have them placed in the nearby areas. I will be ending my seclusion any time now, I will come out to assist you people with my brothers. Also, there is no reason to actively seek him out. Let him walk into the trap himself.” The leader nodded and left.

“This is out of my expectations, master.” Thunder Child spoke up

“I too never expected this. The old man had two of his disciples guard Li Meng. I guess he is grooming him to be your contender.”

“The future course of action depends on Li Meng’s response. I will be entering deep seclusion for the next two weeks. I hope to breakthrough in the meantime.”
