Chapter 183 - The Daughter of the Thunder Emperor
Eventually, the woman dressed in purple robes let out a sigh. She abandoned her search for the energy essence and approached Loong Chen.
“I'm grateful for your help, twice. My name is Lei Yun. And you?”
Lei Yun's face showed gratitude.
This young man not only saved her but also shielded her from harm at a crucial moment.
Apart from her father, he was the person who had treated her the best.
“It's no trouble. Just doing what I can. I'm Loong Chen.”
Loong Chen remained composed. He didn't regard a mere Beginner Level Beast King mutated beast as a significant threat.
“You're Loong Chen? Loong Chen from the Dragon God Temple?”
Lei Yun's expression betrayed her surprise upon hearing this.
“You know me?”
Long Chen found himself somewhat taken aback; he didn't recognize this individual.
“You forcibly infiltrated the Green Cloud Temple, resulting in the demise of Chen Jingtian, the direct heir of the Chen family. Subsequently, you even provoked Invincible Dragon God into combat. In such circumstances, few remain unaware of your deeds.”
Lei Yun's lips curled into an enigmatic smile.
A glint of combativeness flickered in her gaze as she regarded Loong Chen, but it quickly faded.
“Yet, you surpass the legends. I had contemplated challenging you, but it appears unnecessary now.”
Loong Chen rubbed his head sheepishly; being praised by an attractive girl left him feeling a bit awkward.
The pair engaged in lengthy conversation, during which Loong Chen gleaned much from Lei Yun.
His assumption proved correct; Lei Yun indeed hailed from the Lightning Sect. However, her background exceeded his expectations.
She was none other than the biological offspring of the Lightning Sect's Master, the Emperor of Thunder.
“You are the Emperor of Thunder's daughter. May I inquire about your age this year?”
Lei Yun rolled her eyes at Loong Chen's question.
Did he not realize that a woman's age was her most guarded secret?
“Twenty-one years old.”
Lei Yun promptly disclosed her age, yet Loong Chen remained skeptical.
The Emperor of Thunder had been around for three hundred years. Lei Yun, being his biological daughter, couldn't possibly be merely 21 years old.
However, upon deeper reflection, Loong Chen realized that his own father had lived for over three centuries and yet appeared younger than Lei Yun.
This realization eased Loong Chen's mind.
Observing Loong Chen's shifting expressions, Lei Yun seemed to grasp something and hastened to explain.
“My father fathered me twenty years ago.”
“Your father is truly remarkable.”
Lei Yun suddenly recognized the challenge in conversing with Loong Chen.
“You've attained King Level status at 21, yet why aren't you listed among the young generation rankings in the eastern continent?”
Swiftly diverting the conversation, Loong Chen sought to avoid discomfort.
“Though my age aligns with theirs, my seniority far surpasses theirs. I have no desire to vie with them.”
Lei Yun's countenance revealed a sense of pride.
Chen Jingtian, Xiahou Ba, and Yeh Qianxing, the leading figures in the young generation rankings, had only reached Level 5 Peak in strength.
In contrast, Lei Yun had ascended to King Level, standing two tiers above them.
Yet, such a discrepancy was to be expected. Despite the lofty status of those young prodigies within their families, they paled in comparison to Lei Yun.
Being the biological daughter of the Thunder Emperor, Lei Yun naturally received preferential treatment, resulting in her strength surpassing that of Chen Jingtian and others.
Just as their acquaintance deepened, several beams of light flashed nearby.
In an instant, a few figures materialized behind them.
These figures were clad in purple armor adorned with lightning motifs on their chests.
Clearly hailing from the Thunder Legion, stationed at the border, these individuals belonged to the Lightning Sect's military force.
“Why have you ventured into the heart of the battlefield? It's exceedingly perilous here. If anything were to happen to you, how could I face the Thunder Emperor?”
The leader, a middle-aged man with a square countenance, bore a solemn expression as he addressed Lei Yun.
Despite his typically dignified appearance, he now wore a troubled look in Lei Yun's presence.
Upon spotting the nearby corpse of the Purple Electric Tyrannosaurus, cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's brow.
Thankfully, Lei Yun remained unharmed; otherwise, the Thunder Emperor would have held him accountable.
Lei Yun was the sole daughter of the Thunder Emperor, who showered her with affection.
Upon expressing her desire to undergo training at the border battlefield, the Thunder Emperor repeatedly emphasized the importance of safeguarding her.
“I'm unscathed. It's all thanks to Loong Chen. Otherwise, I might have perished here.”
Lei Yun spoke casually, seemingly unfazed by the notion of death.
The middle-aged man with the square face perspired profusely as he bowed repeatedly to Loong Chen.
“Loong Chen, thank you for protecting my mistress. I am Lei Zhen. Your assistance is deeply appreciated. Henceforth, both I and the entire Thunder Legion count you as a friend.”
Lei Zhen said with a grateful expression.
If Lei Zhen possessed the authority to act on behalf of the Thunder Legion, he might hold a significant position within it.
Moreover, the aura emanating from him suggested he was at least a King Level Late Period expert, possibly surpassing that level.
It was always preferable to gain a new friend than to acquire another enemy.
Hence, Loong Chen maintained a modest demeanor, offering Lei Zhen a smile and a nod.
Subsequently, yielding to Lei Zhen and the others' persistent requests, Lei Yun eventually relented and departed with them.
Loong Chen proceeded with his journey of accumulating experience.
In this conflict, the Dark Parliament deployed millions of zombies and mutated beasts.
With such vast numbers, it would require Loong Chen several days and nights to eliminate them all.
Thus, victory in the war hinged on the quantity of troops deployed.
While individual strength could have some impact on the outcome, it was not the determining factor.
Amidst the carnage, the day passed unnoticed, until finally, the tide of corpses and beasts began to recede.
Glancing at the empirical value displayed on the attribute table, Loong Chen noted it had surpassed ten million.
“I possess over ten million empirical values. How should I utilize them?”
Loong Chen was pleasantly astonished. More than 10 million empirical values. In the past, such a notion would have been unimaginable to him.
He could only do it in the battlefield.
“How should I allocate these empirical values? I'll prioritize enhancing my Law of Life,” pondered Loong Chen.
After deliberation, Loong Chen decided to prioritize the enhancement of his Law of Life.
Despite its limited impact on his combat prowess, the Law of Life held significant importance.
Dugu Lengyue's past ordeal had left a lasting impression on Loong Chen, prompting him to elevate the Law of Life to a level capable of resurrection to avert similar tragedies.
“It'll require 10 million empirical values to elevate the Law of Life to level 2,” calculated Loong Chen.
Surveying the restored experience pool, Loong Chen couldn't help but inhale sharply.
Initially deeming 10 million empirical values a substantial sum, he was surprised to find it insufficient.
However, upon reading the description of the Second Grade Law of Life, Loong Chen's pulse quickened.
