Chapter 657 Jiang Lingyun's Decision
Lin Qiye sheathed his spear, his effortless demeanor appearing to everyone as if a god had descended to earth.
She turned her head, her gaze calmly sweeping over the row of Valkyries in front of her, each with a different style, yet all equally stunningly beautiful.
"Time is up."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyun, who was in a state of extreme excitement and sublimation, suddenly trembled in her platinum eyes.
Her pretty face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, her breathing was disordered and rapid, and her hair, which was originally damp with sweat, clung to her slender neck.
His eyes were filled with lingering longing as he looked at Lin Qiye.
The feeling of being filled with super pure divine energy and tempered by terrifyingly powerful martial intent was simply addictive to her.
But when she met Lin Qiye's deep and indifferent gaze, she felt a chill and forcibly suppressed the urge to continue demanding.
As the face of the founding family, she knew exactly what to do.
Greed is a major taboo in everything you do.
Jiang Lingyun took a deep breath, calming the tremors caused by the surge of energy within her body.
Lin Qiye had already paid for the first four hours, and she only needed to pay for the remaining time.
The cost is a little over 100,000 points.
Even though this was a sum of points that would make a second-rate family wince, in her opinion, it was the most worthwhile deal she had ever made!
She could feel that her Thunderfire Martial Intent, which had been stuck at a bottleneck, had begun to loosen under Lin Qiye's almost brutal tempering and nourishment of life essence!
"Thank you, Lord... for the blessings of the seven gods."
Jiang Lingyun lowered her head deeply, her voice barely audible, yet carrying a deep-seated submissiveness.
For a fleeting moment, she almost uttered that shameful word along with Chen Lingxue.
Although she managed to hold back at the last moment, she knew that next time... she probably wouldn't be able to maintain that pride anymore.
She could sense that Lin Qiye's domineering energy was not only strengthening her physical body, but also gradually transforming her subconscious, leading every nerve in her body to submission.
But she did it willingly.
Seeing Jiang Lingyun's expression, as if she wanted to kneel down on the spot, Chi Yan and Bing Yu, who were standing to the side, were immediately filled with jealousy.
But seeing his master become so unfathomable, even able to completely tame someone like Jiang Lingyun, a deep sense of pride ultimately prevailed.
At this moment, the auras of the four women—Qing Luoli, Chen Lingxue, Qing Luoying, and Yu Mingyue—have undergone earth-shattering changes!
Especially Chen Lingxue, whose clear, cold eyes were gleaming with fire.
Under Lin Qiye's life essence, which spared no expense in its nourishment, she actually managed to push her previously incomplete Fire Martial Intent to the perfect state at the last moment!
Now, the martial intent of both wind and fire has been formed!
Lin Qiye looked around at the stunning beauties in the room.
He has left an indelible mark on the depths of everyone's soul.
The way they looked at him had transformed from simple awe into an almost obsessive fervor and adoration.
This is how his journey began in the main star region!
"Final preparations for the start of the Fireball Competition are complete."
Lin Qiye's voice echoed in the hall, carrying an undeniable air of dominance:
"Everyone, return to the present and adjust your mindset!"
"Martial God's Flame Competition... Do your best!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes! Seven Gods!"
A chorus of sweet shouts rang out.
Swish!
A white light flashed, and eight figures vanished instantly from the empty Time Chamber.
The outside world, the real world.
There are less than four hours left before the start of the world-renowned [Martial God Fire Seed Tournament].
……
The outside world is now completely engulfed in an unprecedented media storm.
"Who exactly is 777?"
This issue has become the biggest focus of discussion among major news media outlets, intelligence networks of powerful families, and even on the streets.
However, no matter what StarNet privileges those with ulterior motives used, the information they found was always blank.
They tried to find a breakthrough by targeting 777's teammates.
Qing Luoli, Chen Lingxue, and even those random teammates who had only played one game together, were all overwhelmed with all sorts of harassment and requests for information.
But the answers were surprisingly consistent: "I don't know."
Within the highest echelons of the circle, the patriarchs of the founding families had already secretly communicated.
The conclusion that was reached sent chills down everyone's spines: 777 was not a prince secretly being groomed by any family.
Of course, these ancestors didn't really trust each other.
How could a monster who doesn't belong to the founding family be able to run rampant on the StarNet and even instantly kill all the families?
They couldn't possibly be from a top-tier family, could they?
……
Golden Bull City.
Jiang Lingyun's residence.
Jiang Lingyun had just come out of the Time Chamber, and before she could even calm her disordered breathing, information was already bombarding her from the StarNet interface!
Jiang Lingyun rubbed her temples wearily.
She saw the Third Elder's message, full of authority and accusation: "Lingyun! Where are you? Reply immediately!"
She saw countless probing messages from Jiang family members with whom she had no prior relationship.
There were also the various faces of the older, younger, and even younger members of the family. Some inquired about his identity, while others mocked the Jiang family for "degrading themselves" to become henchmen for their enemies.
Even her four elite teammates from the Jiang family in the basic team competition were frantically tagging her: "Captain! Log on now! Our score has dropped out of the top three, when are we going to get back up?"
As Jiang Lingyun looked at this information, an unprecedented coldness flashed in her platinum eyes.
She didn't want to reply to anyone.
Now, all that echoes in her mind are Lin Qiye's parting words:
"Martial God's Flame Competition... Do your best!"
Do your best.
To Jiang Lingyun at this moment, these four words were no less than a divine decree.
She had promised her family that she would stay for another year to preserve the Jiang family's reputation.
But now...
If we follow the family's arrangements, we'll have to go against that man's plans...
If you want to follow him, you must never stop.
"It seems I'll have to go against the family's arrangements this time."
Since I have already chosen that domineering yet pure energy, and since my soul has already acknowledged the existence of that man... then I will stick with it to the end.
Just then, a teammate from the team competition sent another message, his tone tinged with impatience.
Jiang Lingyun thought for a moment, then her slender fingers flew across the keyboard, sending a very brief message to the Jiang family's group chat:
[Jiang Jia (Jiang Lingyun): I'm not playing anymore. You guys find a substitute.]
[Ding! Jiang Lingyun has left the group chat.]
The group chat fell silent instantly.
The other four prodigies of the Jiang family, who were powerful enough to dominate the star realm, stared at the message about leaving the group with their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
"ah?!"
"Jiang Lingyun...left the family team?!"
"Has she gone mad? Quitting now, who's going to protect the Jiang family's rankings?!"
Before these people could recover from their shock, the Jiang family's higher-ups reacted even faster.
Almost immediately after Jiang Lingyun left the group chat, the Third Elder made a video call.
The light screen lit up.
The Third Elder's once refined face, now so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, appeared before Jiang Lingyun.
"Lingyun! What are you doing?! Why did you leave the group?"
The Third Elder's voice boomed in the quiet room.
"Do you even know what you're doing? You're utterly disgracing the Jiang family! Get back to your unit immediately!"
Jiang Lingyun looked up, her platinum eyes revealing a coldness.
"Third Elder, I have made my decision."
"Whoever wants the rankings can keep them. I want to participate in the Martial God's Fire Seed Tournament!"
"Participating in the Martial God's Seed Competition?" The Third Elder was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and was furious. "It must be that 777! You're insane! You'd actually betray the family's training for a man who hasn't even shown his true face?!"
Jiang Lingyun shook her head:
"This is not betrayal, this is... evolution."
After saying that, under the stunned gaze of the Third Elder, she immediately hung up the call and turned on silent mode.
There are less than four hours until the start of the match.
Jiang Lingyun took a deep breath and began to adjust her aura.
She needs to prepare well for this year's Martial God Fire Seed Tournament, and be in her strongest condition!
