After being stopped by Luo Bing's words, Luo Ning stuck out her tongue, a look of awe on her face. The Luo family was extremely strict, and she almost broke a taboo.
"Long Chen, I'm truly sorry. It's really inconvenient to disclose the Luo family's affairs to outsiders. Please forgive me." Luo Bing said apologetically.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. We're die-hard allies now. From now on, we'll just work together against the Chu family." Long Chen said with a smile.
Regarding his mother, he knew there was no need to rush. Luo Bing and Luo Ning couldn't fully trust him, so she told him everything.
If the mother really is the daughter of the family head, then her safety must be safe. However, the father's side is still a bit worrying, but nothing can be rushed; they can only figure out solutions step by step.
"Since we're allies now, I have to remind you, Brother Long, that Chu Kuang is not easy to deal with.
He wasn't alone; many parts of the academy had been infiltrated by the Chu family's forces, with Chu family members even in the upper ranks of the Divine Academy. When Chu Kuang was mentioned, Luo Bing's pretty face showed a serious expression.
"That strong?" Is Lingxiao Academy just going to let the Chu family extend their claws into the academy? Long Chen frowned and asked, "Could the head of Lingxiao Academy be a fool?"
"The waters of Lingxiao Academy are very deep. No one knows its true strength, and its dean has never shown himself for thousands of years, always a divine dragon who never appears before the end.
Moreover, Lingxiao Academy seemed completely ignored by the internal chaos; no one knew what the higher-ups were thinking.
In short, the Chu family's influence at Lingxiao Academy is immense. Even we don't know exactly how big it is. Luo Bing said.
"Since the Chu family has such great influence at Lingxiao Academy, if you still fight them here, won't you suffer a huge loss?" Long Chen asked.
"Our Luo family and the Chu family can be called mortal enemies. Wherever there are Chu family disciples, there will inevitably be Luo family members. They fight each other to the death.
In the academy, everything had to follow the rules. Even the Chu family wouldn't dare act recklessly; if caught red-handed, it would be a huge problem for them.
And not only do the rules of the Divine Academy protect us, but our Luo family also has some influence at Lingxiao Academy, so we are not without the strength to fight.
Our two sides played games within the rules; once we seized the opportunity, we would capture the opponent's pieces, and we were almost caught due to carelessness. Luo Bing sighed. This time was truly too dangerous, and they had been too careless.
They were blinded by Chu Kuang's appearance. His mindless arrogance was just a way to lull them. He was like a venomous snake, quietly waiting for the right moment, ready to bite them to death once he acted.
Long Chen nodded. The hatred between the Luo and Chu families had already extended into their bloodlines and souls. The two sides were locked in a fight to the death. If the Luo family withdrew from Lingxiao Academy, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat. Perhaps for this reason, the Luo family, despite being at an absolute disadvantage, was still seeking a chance to fight back.
"You've all been fooled by Chu Kuang. The gap in strength between you is too great. This Chu Kuang has been playing dumb to outsmart others." Long Chen said.
Luo Bing said with lingering fear, "Indeed, who would have thought that when Chu Kuang unleashed his full power, he would be so terrifying? Even if we sisters fought desperately, we probably wouldn't last ten moves." "
No, you're wrong. He hasn't exploded at full power yet today." Long Chen shook his head.
"What?"
Luo Bing and Luo Ning were shocked. Such a powerful Chu Kuang hadn't yet unleashed his full power?
"Today, Chu Kuang has only unleashed at most seventy percent of his combat power, or even less. Although I look down on this guy, I have to admit, he's very strong.
But he's very cunning. I deliberately drew the hatred of the Heavenly Fire Seed onto him. He's attacked from all sides, and you are watching from the shadows, yet he refuses to risk going all out. Long Chen said.
How rich is Long Chen's combat experience? Long Chen knew exactly how much Chu Kuang was retaining. This guy really could endure it, nothing like the foolish arrogance he gave off on the surface.
"If he really had so many reservations, then he only needed to unleash ninety percent of his combat power to completely suppress the seed of Heavenly Fire, even subdue it. Why would he run away?" Luo Ning asked in confusion.
Long Chen smiled without saying anything, thinking that if he dared to unleash ninety percent of his combat power, if he consumed too quickly, he might not be able to escape.
"This Chu Kuang is truly too strong. Should we report to the family and ask for support from the strong?" Luo Ning looked at Luo Bing and said.
Luo Bing shook his head and said, "Registration for this year has ended. The academy has its own rules, and before the next round of admissions, they won't accept disciples."
If other means were used to allow a genius from within the clan to arrive, the family head would absolutely not allow anything that would damage the family's reputation. Long
Chen curled his lips after hearing this. Clearly, the Luo family didn't want to use backdoors. Someone like Long Chen, who became a disciple as a servant, was absolutely not allowed by the Luo family. They would consider it shameful.
"Long Chen, don't misunderstand... Luo Bing saw Long Chen's expression and immediately realized that Long Chen had entered the academy through the menial path to save time, so she hurriedly apologized.
"It's fine. I've never taken my status seriously. There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation, nor is there any distinction between high and low. I never do those things that put on a brave face." Long Chen shook his head.
Clearly, Long Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with the Luo family patriarch's actions. Pride isn't shown in the situation, but in his bones. Any pretended arrogance is often seen as a way to cover up his inner inferiority.
"So what should we do? We simply can't beat him. Luo Ning said anxiously.
"We can only endure for now. After entering the inner sect and meeting up with the clan's strong members, we can make further plans." Luo Bing pondered for a moment and said.
"By the way, Long Chen, don't confront Chu Kuang head-on anymore. Don't give him a chance to kill you." Luo Bing suddenly reminded him.
"Kill me?"
Long Chen was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's fine, he can't kill me." Luo
Bing's expression turned serious as he said, "Long Chen, I know you're strong, but you might not know that the Chu family's strength is extremely formidable."
Chu Kuang is already this strong. Once he ignites the Divine Fire and enters the Divine Fire Realm, he will sweep through those of the same level, and even have the strength to fight beyond his level—he can't afford to be careless.
A genius like Chu Kuang must have accumulated countless resources in his possession and countless trump cards. Going head-to-head with him would be a huge loss. Luo
Bing knew how powerful Long Chen was, but when Chu Kuang was about to erupt, he didn't dare confront him head-on and could only dodge. Luo Bing felt Long Chen was probably a step worse than Chu Kuang, but unexpectedly, Long Chen died at Chu Kuang's hands for the sake of saving face.
"By the way, can you kill people in the Divine Path Championship?" Long Chen didn't answer, but instead asked.
"If the opponent calls for surrender, they must stop, but if the opponent doesn't shout and kills them, the punishment will be lighter. That's why I'm worried he might ...," Luo Bing said worriedly.
"I see. Then I can rest assured." Long Chen nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Long Chen's smile, it was clear they had misunderstood his meaning—they still didn't understand Master Long's temper.
