The Pharmacist turned and left. Lan Jue heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't the Pharmacist who'd undressed him, otherwise things would have been awkward.
Returning to the bed, he separated Zhou Qianlin from the bed and wrapped her in a blanket.
By the time Qianlin had finished changing, her face was flushed red as she walked into the living room. Lan Jue's body was already feeling much better. His insides were still throbbing with pain, but it was much better than before.
"I broke through," Zhou Qianlin whispered to Lan Jue.
"Hmm?" Lan Jue looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Qianlin raised two fingers. "Rank two, ninth level."
Lan Jue's expression suddenly became strange. It turned out that when she was under pressure in battle, it was also helpful to her. This was really a good thing!
If it wasn't for Zhou Qianlin constantly providing him with the Queen of Heaven energy to protect his body, he might not have been able to last until the end.
"What was the last ability you used to attack him?
It was so powerful.
It felt like it was close to a Paragon's level. "Qianlin's curiosity was piqued.
Lan Jue nodded slightly and said, "The situation at that time was actually very dangerous. The Titan's power was too strong, it was already infinitely close to the level of the laws. Although I used the [Tai Chi Divine Art] and the fusion of thunder and lightning to divert the power as much as possible, my body still had to bear a part of it. Under such circumstances, if I had persisted for too long, I would have lost without a doubt.
After all, I didn't even have the chance to break through his attack.
Even a Paragon would have to expend a great deal of effort to break through the defenses of the Golden Bell. "
"Fortunately, I suddenly realized that the [Tai Chi Divine Skill] had evolved to the realm of borrowing force to fight force.
An eye for an eye.
Using his power to counterattack his main body.
However …
After trying it once, I discovered that there was a limit to how much force I could borrow. If the force I received was too strong, my body would collapse first.
Therefore, in that situation, I had no other choice but to launch my strongest attack while I still had some energy left. "
"Come to think of it, being able to defeat Hercules in the end was a great achievement.
It had a lot to do with his own coordination.
He'd used all of his strength in that attack, and I'd borrowed it and sent it back to him. I'd also combined my lightning with Taiji, the strongest of the Nine Hammers of Taiji, the Hammer of Self-Immolation. With all of that power combined, I was able to temporarily reach Paragon level.
Only then was his Golden Bell Shield destroyed.
However, the reason why he could not get up in the end was not because he was injured, but because he was exhausted.
The defense of the Golden Bell Shield is too strong. At that time, I only broke his defense and didn't use too much power on him.
Otherwise, the power of lightning would at least be able to paralyze him.
It seemed that …
There are still hidden dangers in his sudden breakthrough. "
After listening to Lan Jue's narration, coupled with her own understanding of the situation, Zhou Qianlin finally understood how critical the situation was at that time.
However, both he and Lan Jue had gained a lot from this battle.
This was especially true for the comprehension of power.
This was, after all, the most thrilling fight Lan Jue had ever faced in the Tournament.
The Hercules had almost crushed him.
Just then, Lan Jue's communicator began to ring. Lan Jue lifted his hand to look at it, and saw that his communicator was flooded with missed calls and text messages.
He picked up the current call.
"Boss." From the other side of the communicator came a voice that was trying very hard to suppress but still could not hide its excitement.
"Yeah." Lan Jue answered.
"Are you alright?" The voice on the other end asked with concern.
"I'm fine, don't worry.
How's the situation? "Lan Jue asked.
"It's done.
We've made a total of 13.7 billion Northern Alliance dollars. That's over 27 billion Eastern Alliance dollars.
Boss, we're rich.
With so much money, they could even buy a Commander-class warship with enough to spare!
Wahaha, boss, we're rich. "
Lan Jue chuckled. "Be careful, don't let anyone hear you. I got it.
Don't bet anymore in the following matches. Quit while you're ahead. "
"Okay.
I don't want to bet anymore. Let's go shopping first.
I made a detailed list before I came. This time, we have money. We can buy the highest quality stuff. Hehe. "
"Okay!" Lan Jue answered and hung up.
Zhou Qianlin was also looking at her communicator, and her expression became strange.
"What's wrong?" Lan Jue asked.
Zhou Qianlin smiled bitterly. "What else?
Your identity has been exposed. Xiao Mi sent me more than 10 messages.
She's trying to confirm it. "
Lan Jue chuckled. "There's always a way out. It's not necessarily a bad thing to be exposed.
At least those who want to harass you in the future will have to think twice. "
Zhou Qianlin turned to look at him. "After we go back, do you still plan to continue teaching in the academy?"
Lan Jue sighed. "That was my original plan, but now it seems that the situation has changed.
I'm afraid I can't continue my etiquette classes anymore.
However, the instructors of the special training classes shouldn't be a problem. After all, it's only a small area.
It wasn't easy to teach them. I hope they can become stronger. "
Zhou Qianlin nodded slightly. "It's good that you're not leaving.
Anyway, you have to do what you promised me. "
Lan Jue smiled. "Yes!
I'm your bodyguard.
I'll protect you closely from now on, okay?
Besides, even if I don't want to protect you, there's nothing I can do!
If you summon me, I'll be by your side immediately, right? "
Hearing him say that, Zhou Qianlin couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't that right?
It wouldn't be so easy for him to escape now.
Until the two of them became Paragons, they were able to summon each other at all times.
"I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat." Zhou Qianlin pulled Lan Jue's hand with a smile.
"Alright.
Let's go get some food. "Lan Jue had already changed her clothes.
However, as soon as he and Zhou Qianlin reached the hotel lobby, they returned.
Lan Jue had finally experienced Huali's pain. The tournament had just ended, and he'd been exposed to the world.
He'd defeated Titan, and won. This wasn't something an ordinary person could do!
To the Northern Alliance, he was an enemy!
Rational people were few and far between.
As soon as Lan Jue reached the lobby, an old woman slapped him back with a bag of fruit.
Fortunately, he had Huali's experience. He led Zhou Qianlin out of the hotel, then left Zhou Qianlin to buy a hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask. Once they were fully equipped, they found a place to eat.
It was an unassuming western restaurant, a place that specialized in seafood.
Lan Jue ordered a bottle of white wine, then began to answer the calls on her communicator.
"Huali, come eat.
Let's talk when we meet. "
"A-Cheng, have you eaten?
Come, let's talk when we meet. "
