Right when the group wanted to leave this place, a strong aura suddenly appeared and moved towards them. This aura instantly caused them to fall to their knees. The young man was in an even worse condition as he instantly fell forward with blood dripping out from his mouth.

They used all of the Qi-Jin in their bodies to desperately endure against this pressure. The fully unleashed auras of the two Domain experts were indeed forces that these individuals couldn’t withstand with their lower levels.

The young man tried his hardest to open both of his eyes and barely managed to look towards the fight in front of him. The young man saw the 9th Elder huff and a large tornado formed, making its way towards the silhouette...

“Bam!” A large ice shield suddenly appeared in front of the silhouette. The tornado hit the ice shield with great force. The power of the collision made the entire building tremble. The foundation and walls instantly had cracks and debris fell to the floor as though it was rain.

The young man knew that this was the result after the two people had tried their best to restrain the power of their domain. The 9th Elder and his opponent didn’t want to make a scene. After all, they were on Planet Kachi. If they alerted Planet Kachi’s government, things might become troublesome for both parties.

“That person is very strong!” The young man had a surprised and complicated look on his face, as though he was looking at an immovable mountain when he was looking at the silhouette. In his mind, he imagined how young the opponent was... suddenly he discovered that other than being young, he actually couldn’t piece together his features. The young man only felt a heart piercing coldness that made him not dare to look up at the opponent.

“If the opponent really did advance to domain level when he was very young...” After thinking up to this point, the young man’s heart trembled. Although he could see the disbelief in the 9th Elder’s expression, the young man didn’t know why he actually believed that this was the reality they were living in.

The powerful clashes between the 9th Elder and Ling Lan made the two of them become more vigilant. Ling Lan’s extremely strong ice element Domain was very sturdy. The 9th Elder’s mysterious element was also hard for Ling Lan to grasp.

Ling Lan looked at the flawless defense of the 9th Elder and had a thought. Suddenly, a bone-piercing cold fell upon the atrium.

Not long after, the atrium became engulfed in ice. Everything was frozen. Even the ceiling had many icicles hanging from above.

The people who were subjugated to their knees or on the ground also had a layer of frost form on their bodies. The young man was also shuddering profusely. He felt as though his blood was going to be frozen solid. He felt that he would become an ice sculpture in the next second.

The air was filled with a cold aura. Even breathing would make someone feel a heart-wrenching pain.

However, this didn’t affect the 9th Elder. A defensive barrier appeared outside of his body and blocked off the cold aura Ling Lan had produced. Compared to Demon Fire, the 9th Elder was much more careful since he had almost lived for a century. He valued his life and would not show any openings to his opponents.

“The attack the just now and the aura shield, his Domain should belong to a colorless and soundless element. Is it the wind or the air?” Ling Lan thought to herself.

“Then I’ll feel it out once again.” Ling Lan snapped her fingers with great force. Suddenly, the things that were frozen exploded and broke into countless ice particles scattered in the air. These particles silently gathered towards her opponent.

Seeing this, the 9th Elder laughed coldly. He closed his right hand and suddenly his aura shield became a black hole. It sucked in all of the ice particles into one place. Then it formed a ball of ice that was becoming bigger and bigger.

“You can have it back!” shouted the 9th Elder. The huge ice ball was sent flying towards Ling Lan in an instant. Right when the ice ball was about to hit Ling Lan, it suddenly dispersed and became particles again. Then these particles completely disappeared into thin air.

This move was within the 9th Elder’s calculations. He knew that tossing the ice ball back to Ling Lan wouldn’t pose any threat to him. However, what he wanted was the small window of time when his opponent gets rid of the ice ball.

As the ice ball disappeared, Ling Lan immediately felt a strong sense of crisis approaching. She immediately conjured up an ice shield in front of her.

“Bang!” The entire building shook once again. The originally battered building now had even larger cracks than before as though it was about to collapse.

Ling Lan’s block was too hurried. Her ice shield didn’t completely neutralize the unexpected attack. She couldn’t help but take three steps back and then managed to stop her body. Some blood uncontrollably dripped from the side of her mouth.

The opponent’s attack did not leave any traces. If it wasn’t for Ling Lan’s incredible spiritual power which felt the change in the energy in the air, perhaps this attack would have hit her directly.

“Looks like its not the wind element.” Ling Lan had battled with domain masters with the wind element before. The 23rd Division’s special forces main leader was a wind element Domain expert. Even if her opponent concealed his attack, she would still be able to feel the change in the wind. It wasn’t like now where the attack would come out of nowhere.

“If my guess is correct, it’s definitely the air element. He really is a troublesome opponent.” Ling Lan didn’t think that she would meet up with an opponent who was an expert in the most mysterious element, air.

“However, I’m lucky that he can’t control the elements within the air.” Ling Lan celebrated a bit.

The 9th Elder felt the coldness in the air decreasing. He then saw his opponent being hurt by his attack which made him quite overjoyed. The element of his domain was something unpredictable and hard to defend against. These factors gave him the upper hand against other domain experts and also helped him defeating all of his opponents which in turn made him into the Soul Society’s 9th Elder.

“You actually dare to challenge the Soul Society. Then prepare to pay the price with your life,” the 9th Elder laughed coldly. A force that was even stronger than the last one moved towards Ling Lan from all sides.

In reality, the reason he created a tornado using his element in the beginning was to confuse his opponent. It was to make his opponent think that his attacks created sound and movement. The real sure-kill techniques were the attacks afterwards which included the technique he had just performed. It was his strongest technique, Air Vacuum technique.

“Bam!” The area around Ling Lan all froze into ice. It was as though she was in an ice coffin and was able to block off the attack from all sides. action

The 9th Elder’s expression changed instantly, “How is that possible?” How could his opponent knew that he would attack from all sides? It was clear that for his previous attack, his opponent only created an ice shield in front of him.

“Air element is indeed very strong! Thank you for fighting with me for this long,” Ling Lan said coldly while being inside the coffin.

Number Five, who was watching in the learning space, showed a smile on his face, “Little Four, your Boss is going to use a strong technique... the battle is going to be over soon. Did you make your decision yet?”

Little Four instantly raised his head and saw Ling Lan’s right hand clenched into a fist, “Ice Age!”

The strongest technique created by Ling Lan’s domain. It was strong enough to put the world back into the ice age...

The 9th Elder felt a chill forming around his body like never before. He snorted coldly, “Insolence!” His domain formed as he shouted. The two forces were at odds with each other, both trying to get past the other’s defenses.

Ling Lan smirked and snapped her fingers once again. The 9th Elder suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill in the deep recesses of his body. His expression changed instantly and screamed, “That’s not possible!”

In the next second, he became an ice sculpture. The fear on his face was etched in detail onto the sculpture as though he was going to break the ice and jump out in the next second.

“Why isn’t it possible?” Ling Lan snapped her fingers once again and the ice sculpture instantly became countless of ice particles and dispersed into the air. No traces were left behind and it was as though the 9th Elder never existed in this world.

No, something was left behind. A communication bead fell out of the ice sculpture...

Little Four’s face was glowing. He shouted loudly, “My Boss is just that awesome. Little Blossom’s master should also be this awesome. However, I will definitely try my best to grow and hope that one day I will become as strong as Boss. Then, I will be Little Blossom’s Boss...”

Little Four kicked Number Five and freed himself from Number Five’s grasp. He immediately started jumping towards Ling Lan’s mindspace. “Wuwuwu, Boss, I was bullied by Instructor Number Five just now. You have to help me get back at him.”

Little Four had indeed hesitated before because he was afraid that Ling Lan would yell at him. However, he remembered the words Ling Lan had said to him many years ago. As long as he treated her sincerely, the Boss would treat him as her own little brother. She even let him have half of her father’s love without fussing (Little Four believed this himself. However, in reality, Ling Xiao didn’t know he had a son like him). How could he still hide Little Blossom like this?

“Also, even if the Boss did yell at me, what would happen? The Boss wouldn’t yell at me if she didn’t care about me. Did those instructors think that the Boss is interested in yelling at strangers? Idiot Number Five. Pffft...” Little Four suddenly turned around and stuck his tongue out at Number Five. He made a face towards Number Five, brushed off the dirt from his butt and jumped into Ling Lan’s mindspace.

Number Five stared blankly for a second then laughed. He then slowly disappeared into the lobby of the learning space.

Number Five appeared in Instructor Number One’s space.

“Now are you now rest assured?” said Number One as he opened his eyes and looked at Number Five calmly.

Number Five smiled and scratched his head. He said helplessly, “Looks like I worried too much.”

“Not really. It’s just that you didn’t believe in Majesty Four from the very beginning.” Number One said calmly.

“The root of the destruction of the Mandora star system was because of the last Intellect King. I’m just afraid that Little Four’s evolution would become the same as the Intellect King in the future, full of selfishness and destruction.” Number Five said plainly. It was the first time the smile on his face had faded in many years.

“The rift in the relationship between humans and us, intelligence entities, in the end it isn’t something that we can really say who’s fault it was right? Back then, the ten of us decided to put our spiritual power into this learning space to watch over Majesty Four’s evolution. We shouldn’t interfere with his growth too much. You went overboard this time.” Instructor Number One calmly warned Number Five.

“Majesty Four’s evolution had made him show selfishness. If we let him grow on his own, it may impact Ling Lan negatively. Number One, Ling Lan is the disciple the ten of us developed with great care. Are you not afraid that Majesty Four will harm her in the end?” Number Five’s suddenly became irritated.

Little Four wasn’t any average learning space intelligent entity. Once he gains his complete form, he would be a god-like existence. This god-like entity wouldn’t only have powers within the virtual world. As long as there were wires or signals, the complete form of Little Four could easily use all this to control the real world of the humans.

Back then, the instructors saw what the Intellect King had done. In the Mandora star system, faced with humans who would not bow to him, the Intellect King would even consider mutual destruction then to let the humans get their way. Now, whenever the instructors think about this, it would make them shudder in fear.
