BANG!
Lin Diao didn't try to hide anything anymore, he unleashed his true strength, Seventh Stage Dragon Warrior, only one level lower than Yu Ming's but emitting an aura that seemed more ferocious, giving the impression like he could kill Yu Ming.
"What?" This finally made shock reach all fronts. Even the older generation who were watching it looked at each other with unsuspecting expressions.
Yan Ru opened her mouth and covered it with her hand. Her eyes wide open, she spontaneously said, "how can you be this strong?"
Yesterday Lin Diao was only a Second Stage Dragon Warrior, which was inferior to her.
Today, he had already improved by five levels, which was of course impossible.
Yan Ru quickly realized that Lin Diao had concealed his true cultivation, instantly making her feelings become mixed.
If she knew that, how could she leave Lin Diao. She wouldn't mind living mediocre even for the next twenty years while waiting for Lin Diao to reveal his true self.
It's just that, the fact that Lin Diao hid that from her and only revealed it now made her somewhat upset.
Lin Diao didn't even look at her, he lunged at the startled Yu Ming, seemingly in no mood to do anything else but fight to the death.
In Jellal's previous life, Yu Ming had actually been killed despite having a higher cultivation level.
Yu Ming quickly responded, sending his fist towards Lin Diao.
The latter did the same. In an instant, their fists met, producing a slight vibration on the ground.
The result shocked people even more as Yu Ming was pushed a few steps back.
Despite having a lower cultivation, Lin Diao proved that he was stronger. If their cultivations were the same, Yu Ming would probably be instantly paralyzed.
Yan Ru's thoughts were even more chaotic because of that. She even said, "Lin Diao, stop that!"
She didn't want this fight to continue because this could cause more trouble.
However, Lin Diao just looked at her coldly, giving no response.
He took out a long sword, lunging towards Yu Ming once again while slashing the sword at his neck.
Of course, Yu Ming didn't stand still. He jumped back and succeeded.
"I am the True Dragon," he said.
BANG!
An aura filled with roars emanated from his body before the shadow of a giant dragon appeared behind him.
It opened its mouth, roaring loudly at Lin Diao until he was pushed backwards.
"What technique is this? Isn't the aura too strong?" said people, astonished by it.
They hadn't and hadn't heard of such a technique, how it appeared in this city, used by Yu Ming.
If the Yu Clan had such a technique, the Yu Clan might not only lead this city, but dominate it to other cities.
"Die..." Yu Ming leapt towards Lin Diao, like a tiger pouncing on its prey.
For the first time, Lin Diao showed a shocked expression.
He chose to take a step back in a quick motion.
However, upon careful observation, he didn't seem to be truly afraid.
His sword emitted a sharp light, making every eye close, even those looking from afar including the Dragon Masters.
Only Jellal was able to keep his eyes open, and he showed a strange look.
"Looks like Yu Ming is still going to lose. Yeah, how can the protagonist be defeated so easily," he said.
Whoosh!
Lin Diao finally lunged forward, facing Yu Ming with his dragon shadow.
The dragon shadow arrived first, but when it met Lin Diao's sword, it began to tear.
"What?" Yu Ming opened his mouth in too much surprise.
The damage to the dragon shadow instantly threw his strength into chaos. He had to retreat now, but that was impossible because Lin Diao's sword was heading for his neck.
"Damn it!" Yu Ming could only curse.
Fortunately, at the same time, a young male figure with indifferent eyes appeared beside him.
He casually sent his finger at Lin Diao's sword.
BANG!
The sword shattered instantly while Lin Diao's figure was thrown, hitting a house to the ground.
People were finally able to open their eyes, bewildered by the changes that had taken place.
They stared at Jellal who appeared beside Yu Ming, wondering who.
"Young Noble, thank you, you saved me!" Yu Ming quickly saluted Jellal.
"Is it him?" People whispered to each other.
Lately, there had been rumors that there was a mysterious guest in the Yu Clan.
They weren't sure who it was, some thought it was an old cultivator, but it turned out to be very young with a very impressive appearance.
There was no woman who wasn't mesmerized by him including Yan Ru who was in a bad mood.
"Who are you?" At this moment, Lin Diao stood up, staring intently at Jellal.
The protagonist had a strong heart, not easily intimidated, he was not afraid even though Jellal almost crushed him with just his finger.
"How about you submit to me, and follow me?" Jellal asked him in response.
He wanted to use this method first.
In his past lives, it had never worked because the protagonists had been strong enough. However, what about now, when the protagonist was still weak.
"Hmph, don't think about it. I won't bow down to anyone," Lin Diao replied directly, even snorting coldly.
The mentality of the protagonists tends to have a high belief that they are destined for great things, reaching the pinnacle of the achievable. Hence, protagonists usually regard submitting to others as a great humiliation and may hinder their path. Even if they do, it's just pretending, submitting to rise in the future.
And of course, fate always leads them to antagonize Jellal.
Jellal was worried that even now, when seeing him, Lin Diao immediately got a bad impression.
Since it was like that, Jellal could only shake his head.
He then pointed his hand at Lin Diao.
Whoosh!
A sharp sword-like light shot out from his fingertips, moving quickly towards Lin Diao.
Not to mention a Dragon Warrior, even a Dragon Emperor would die if hit by that light. Lin Diao had no chance to dodge.
However, something suddenly appeared in front of him, a shield of light.
Clang!
It easily deflected the laser attack from Jellal.
After which, the light shield enveloped Lin Diao's body, taking him flying into the sky.
He disappeared in just an instant.
Without a doubt, that light shield was the power of the formation hidden in this world.
Jellal instantly concluded that Lin Diao had obtained some inheritance from that True God. Perhaps he was still in the process of searching for another inheritance.
Jellal remembered another story after he killed Yu Ming and then fled.
'I think that's it for today,' Jellal thought.
He then looked at Yu Ming who had calmed down but furrowed his brow as Lin Diao managed to escape.
Right now, he somehow felt very uncomfortable, as if he had an enemy that was extremely terrifying and would cut his throat one day.
"Make sure you fuck that woman no matter how," Jellal said to Yu Ming in a low voice, only audible to Yu Ming alone, causing his mouth to open, not expecting such an order to come out of Jellal's mouth.
After that, Jellal disappeared, reappearing in his room.
Perhaps there was a slight problem with Yu Ming and Yan Ru's relationship because the latter was in a chaotic mood plus that it was a newly started relationship.
Yan Ru would probably miss Lin Diao so much that Yu Ming would have a little trouble getting close to her.
Therefore, Jellal required Yu Ming to succeed no matter what, even by force.
As the days passed, Yu Ming apparently spent his time flirting with Yan Ru.
She kept saying that being with him was the best choice, compared to Lin Diao who played with her heart by hiding his strength.
Yu Ming also continued to brag that Jellal actually came from a mysterious great world, and that one day, he would bring the entire Yu Clan to that world.
Yan Ru, who had always dreamed of an extraordinary life, couldn't help but be intrigued by Yu Ming's boasting.
She was quite confident in that because she saw for herself how amazing Jellal was.
After a few days, the woman finally made up her mind. She was willing to become Yu Ming's wife even though as far as Jellal was concerned she didn't really love Yu Ming.
Aside from wanting that extraordinary life, she also didn't want to be shamed into making the wrong decision.
Between her and Lin Diao it had already become impossible.
In these few days, she had been exchanging letters with Lin Diao through Lin Diao's trusted friend.
She wanted to apologize, and even said she hoped to be together again.
Unfortunately, the embittered Lin Diao responded to her letters coldly, continuing to say that he had no interest in living with a woman who could leave her lover for wealth.
That was Lin Diao's answer in her previous life, but at that time, she hadn't really been able to forget Yan Ru.
However, at that time, Yu Ming was already dead, so Yan Ru chose a solitary life.
Now, Yu Ming is still alive, and continues to tempt Yan Ru to be with him so the scenario changes.
