It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

Chapter 995 Disciple!

At that moment, the cold air around Ling Lan suddenly froze, forming two ice dragons. Then, the ice dragons seemed to be infused with life force as it opened their maws and attempted to bite her.

Ling Lan frowned when she felt the cold air beside her freezing. In response, two ice spikes appeared behind her and pierced the ice dragons that were rushing towards her.

Suddenly, Ling Lan’s chest got pierced by an ice blade from her back.

An old and wrinkled face slowly appeared on the blade of the ice blade. Frost Monarch’s face slowly formed in front of Ling Lan. On the spot where he used to be standing, there was just a melted ice statue.

However, Ling Lan also turned into an ice statue the moment she got stabbed.

When Frost Monarch realized what he pierced wasn’t Ling Lan, his expression turned from one of satisfaction to one of seriousness and an ice shield was quickly formed behind him.

Bang! A sharp ice blade stabbed into the shield.

Ling Lan’s body appeared again. This time however, she was behind Frost Monarch. Then, countless afterimages was seen flying between the two.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged many blows.

“Cough!” Frost Monarch’s face turned slightly pale. The massive and continuous drain of his domain energy was a little too much for him to handle.

“I didn’t expect you to be able to change between states easily.” Frost Monarch was surprised.

Between the three kings, he was the only one of the three who had managed to get a full grasp of all of the states of his element. Hades and Ninja still had some problems when changing the states of their element, as they still couldn’t transition their states freely as him yet. The fact that they couldn’t transition between their states freely wouldn’t be noticeable to most people but for powerful people like him, it was an obvious loophole.

Many imperial stage domain experts who came to the Chaotic Lands proudly were killed by him because he made use of this loophole.

Thinking that this battle would just be a repeat of his previous battles against imperial stage domain expert, he used the same tactic he used against many of his past opponents at Ling Lan. However this time, he met a difficult opponent.

Frost Monarch started to become serious now. He finally took Ling Lan as a real opponent now.

“I’m just curious. How did you discover my force of presence?” Frost Monarch revealed his query. He had merged his force of presence with the cold air around him perfectly, leaving almost no traces behind. This was his domain technique. He was able to merge with his ice element seamlessly which had allowed him to kill innumerable people in the past.

“No matter how perfect a disguise is, it’s still a disguise. There will still be a difference.” Ling Lan couldn’t tell him that this was her innate talent that discovered him. She was able to ‘see’ the danger with her Profound Insight so she reacted accordingly.

It had to be said that Ling Lan’s Profound Insight allowed her to escape many dangers. It was her ultimate trump card during crucial moments.

Unfortunately, Profound Insight was a naughty innate talent. Ling Lan had tried to understand her innate talent many times so that she could use it better but Profound Insight never gave her a chance to understand it.

Ling Lan didn’t make herself clear but Frost Monarch knew that his technique must have loopholes in it.

“This battle with you allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the ice element. If you continue to exist, I might be able to enter the imperial stage sooner than I expected. Unfortunately, in the Chaotic Lands, we never allow anyone who threatens our position to exist.” Frost Monarch had a look of pity. Simultaneously, killing intent could be seen in his eyes.

The more outstanding Ling Lan was, the more he wanted to kill her. Frost Monarch knew that if he didn’t kill this young man today, he would become stronger than him in the future. He could learn a lot from this battle but this young man in front of him could do so too. Because of his young age, his opponent might even benefit more than him.

If Ling Lan was given more time, she would be able to catch up with Frost Monarch. Frost Monarch even suspected that his opponent had a higher chance of entering the imperial stage than him.

Such a threat must be removed as early as possible.

Frost Monarch became merciless in his attacks once he decided to kill Ling Lan.

Ling Lan felt the ice element around her getting out of control. Earlier in the fight, she already had this feeling. However, she managed to just resolve it. But, this feeling came back even stronger.

Ling Lan tried to control the ice elements, but the ice elements were rejecting her. She had lost control of the ice elements.

Frost Monarch’s wrinkled face turned hideous. An ice dragon quickly materialized around Ling Lan and moved to constrict her. Multiple ice needles also appeared in the air and shot towards Ling Lan who couldn’t move anymore.

Ling Lan turned serious, as her ability to change into ice particles was sealed by her opponent. It was now impossible for her to escape by just changing into ice particles. This was the most dangerous situation she was in since the assassination at the Scout Academy. Ling Lan felt that she was very close to the doors of hell. This feeling was even stronger than the assassination at the Scout Academy.

‘This is his goal from the start!’ Ling Lan finally understood how frightening Frost Monarch was.

Now, she needed to think of a way to survive.

Malicious intent quickly flashed past her eyes. Her spiritual power, which she had been restraining all these while, exploded.

“Heptashield!”

Although the ice element around her was controlled by her opponent, she was still able to retaliate back. The techniques from the Divine Command sect, which she had been hiding all these while, was finally revealed to the world.

The strong spiritual power exuding off her caused the ice dragon that was tying her up to disperse almost immediately. The ice needles that were flying towards her dropped to the ground after hitting the Heptashield.

Some of the needles even bounced back towards Frost Monarch.

In response, the Frost Monarch blew lightly in front of him. The needles that bounced back got blown to the ground.

Ling Lan used her Divine Command sect technique to counter Frost Monarch’s technique. She thought that her opponent would continue attacking her but he surprisingly didn’t. He was just looking at her strangely.

“I didn’t know you are his disciple.” Frost Monarch held his ice stick tightly. He seemed to be recalling some memories.

“How is Mu Shui-qing?” Frost Monarch asked.

Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. “You know my master?”

“You’re indeed his disciple.” Frost Monarch appeared enlightened. “Well, he is the only person who can groom such an outstanding disciple like you.”

“Are you close to my master?” Frost Monarch sounded as though he was close to Mu Shui-qing. However, the sense of danger in Ling Lan’s heart just grew stronger. She turned even more vigilant.

en

“Of course! We studied in the same Scout Academy and even sat next to each other!” Frost Monarch seemed to be immersed in his memories.

Frost Monarch was from the Federation too? But, why would a powerful person like him come to the Chaotic Lands and become a king here?

“That year, that block of wood (nickname for Mu Shui-qing) told me that I’ll stop at the imperial stage if I continue my method of practicing. I didn’t expect him to be right.” Frost Monarch appeared frustrated. They had the same amount of potential in the past but they chose different cultivation paths. In the end, Mu Shui-qing managed to enter god-realm and become one of the only two god-realm formidable warriors in the human universe. On the other hand, he got stuck as a titled domain realm formidable warrior for many years. Frost Monarch felt that he was a failure as he recalled his past.
