Chapter 78: Li Xue’er

Jiang Chen went to the the Transdragon Pool the next day.

He hadn’t expected the Natural Law School to be so generous as to give him one free entry to the Transdragon Pool. Certainly, he wouldn’t waste this precious chance.

The Transdragon Pool was located on the Transdragon Peak, where it was shrouded in mist all year long. Jiang Chen travelled there by air ship.

A powerful spirit was leading him while he was looking for the location of the pool.

At that moment, everything was hidden in the mist and could only be vaguely seen. He could crash on a cliff if he wasn’t cautious enough.

He saw an elder when he finally located where the spirit came from.

“Token.” He was sitting on a rock, eyes half closed.

Jiang Chen gave him his disciple token. Not until this moment had he realized the importance of the disciple token. If he lost it, he would be practically unable to go anywhere in the school.

“Go ahead.” The elder let him pass when he confirmed Jiang Chen was qualified for entry to the Transdragon Pool.

“Elder, is there any time limit?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Heh, no. Stay there however long you want to, as long as you can,” the elder smiled in a strange manner.

Jiang Chen realized he was implying something, but he stopped asking when he saw the impatient expression on the elder’s face.

He passed by the elder and soon heard the sound of water, then saw the Transdragon Pool by walking towards the sound.

The pool was steaming like a hot spring, much bigger than Jiang Chen had imagined. There were many rocks in the pool, so that it was divided into a few zones. The mist here was even thicker than outside. Added to the hot air, he felt like he was in a fairyland.

Jiang Chen jumped onto a rock, about to take his clothes off.

“What are you doing?!”

A female disciple with wet hair suddenly appeared. She walked towards him unkindly. She said, “Don’t you know men and women bathe in different areas here? The male disciples can only go to the west side of the Transdragon Pool.”

She was looking at him as if he were a playboy while talking.

Jiang Chen realized he had come to the female baths. No matter how mentally strong he was, he felt lost and embarrassed immediately.

“Apprentice sister, I’m very sorry. I apologize. It’s my first time here,” Jiang Chen said awkwardly.

“Fortunately, I’ve finished. Otherwise you would have seen me naked,” the female disciple said coldly while combing her wet long hair.

Jiang Chen was surprised to find this apprentice sister was in the Mental Wander State.

“Fine. Just go away.” The female disciple waved her hand and stopped blaming him.

Jiang Chen hurried to head for the west side.

While the female disciple was watching him leaving in that direction, her angry face suddenly beamed. Nevertheless, Jiang Chen would never know that.

Li Xue’er, how pure and noble you are! But this time you’ll be stark naked in front of this guy.

In fact, the west side was the female disciples’ zone. Where Jiang Chen had been going to bathe was a public zone.

The female disciple who misled Jiang Chen knew he was a newcomer here, so she tricked him intentionally.

The reason was simple. At that time, Li Xue’er, the owner of the Peak of Ingénue, was in the west side.

A beauty on the beauty list!

Of course the other women would be jealous of her.

The beauty list didn’t only have rankings, but also had comments for each beauty on the list.

Li Xue’er: pure and noble, like Helen of Troy.

That female disciple had just seen Li Xue’er in the Transdragon Pool. She knew she wasn’t a match for her in terms of beauty, so she was extremely jealous.

She tricked Jiang Chen in order to offend her. Li Xue’er was bathing with some male disciple. If such scandals could be spread, it would satisfy her the most.

But from what she knew about Li Xue’er, she would definitely kill Jiang Chen.

However, thst wasn’t her business. She didn’t care about Jiang Chen’s life or death at all.

Jiang Chen was ignorant of the female disciple’s malicious intentions. He couldn’t imagine someone would frame him the first minute they met. When he arrived at the west part, he saw it was isolated into an independent zone by rocks.

He took his clothes off and jumped into the water.

Then he noticed a figure sitting not far away. He couldn’t see it clearly due to the mist, but he didn’t care. After all, they were both men.

Soon he felt the rising temperature of the water and the change of his genuine yuan.

As experienced and knowledgeable as he was, he immediately analyzed the effect of the Transdragon Pool.

“People have to resist the high temperature here. The longer one can stay here, the better effects they will feel. No wonder that elder said I could stay here however long I wanted, since it’s really difficult to endure.”

Then he sat in the water cross-legged and started to exert his martial arts technique method.

The water surface around him first changed to a surface as plain as a mirror. Then it started to ripple, stronger and stronger.

His breath became harder and deeper. He felt like he was in a sea of fire.

Besides, he was in the water, so he couldn’t sweat. The heat suffocated him.

Then, he vaguely heard someone groan.

It sounded like this guy was struggling with pains.

“This apprentice brother sounds like a woman,” Jiang Chen thought to himself.

He felt like there was something wrong, but didn’t bother to dwell on it, maybe because he wasn’t feeling good, either. He tried to concentrate.

He felt the heat gradually reaching his skin, meridians, blood, muscles, bones, and viscera, and his whole body felt like it was about to evaporate.

Jiang Chen surely knew the feeling of evaporation was only an illusion generated in pain. As long as he persisted, he would see a huge change in his body.

That being said, moderation in all things. If I force myself to persist, my body will be overburdened. I only need to try my best to reach my limit!

Bearing this idea in mind, Jiang Chen kept his chin up.

But after a short while, he felt a different heat in his body, as if the heat were expanding his flesh and wouldn’t stop until it burst. He felt like he was going to explode.

He wanted to leave the Transdragon Pool as soon as possible, but he knew the critical moment had just arrived.

His third holy pulse was recovering. He would greatly benefit from the help of the Transdragon Pool.

He wouldn’t have to persist for a long time. Only one minute. But this minute felt like a year.

In the end, all his pains suddenly disappeared, as if his body were released from a chokehold.

Jiang Chen took a long breath. He knew he had taken advantage of the Transdragon Pool to the fullest.

And the result was great. He had achieved the completeness of the middle stage and recovered his third holy pulse.

However, Jiang Chen’s pupil dilated as soon as he opened his eyes.

A stunning beauty was drifting towards him.

Her fair skin and naked curvy body all showed up before Jiang Chen.

Most importantly, she had lost consciousness.

Although the Transdragon Pool wasn’t deep, she could have drowned due to her weakened physical condition.

Jiang Chen immediately knew she had fainted because she didn’t leave the pool after having reached her limit.

This place is isolated. It’s impossible for this woman to have drifted here from the women’s baths. Isn’t this the zone for male disciples?

Jiang Chen didn’t see anyone else that could come to help her, so he picked her up without thinking about it too much.

Both of them were stark naked. If others saw this scene, it would be impossible for them to explain it away.

Jiang Chen put her onto a rock and covered her with his clothes.

Then he realized he was still naked.

The woman woke up when he was about to pick up some more clothes.

At first, she was puzzled. Then she came around immediately when she saw Jiang Chen. Her pretty eyes had a chilly glint.

Jiang Chen felt the situation was unfavorable for him, so he hurried to step back.

But it was too late. The woman had already started her kick. This attack came from a woman in the Mental Wander State. It was powerful enough to break metal and stone.

Fortunately, the clothes on her slipped off when she moved. Her long legs were totally exposed.

She shouted out in surprise and drew back her leg immediately.

Jiang Chen took advantage of the timing to jump onto his airship, and left, still naked.

Li Xue’er pulled a long face, looking for her clothes at the shore.

Jiang Chen had disappeared by then, but his coat was still in her hand. She was grasping it tightly.
