Jiang Chen stayed in his room that night . The next day would be his fight against Li Qin .

He had practiced a secret method to deal with Li Qin’s flying . He had also mastered the full spirit of the sword, so he didn’t have much to worry about .

However, he still wanted to put in more effort . After all, this would be a fight for life and death . He had to take extra precautions .

Li Qin was supposed to be expelled from the school and lose all of her achievements . I was the one who challenged her . The only way to satisfy myself is to win .

With this thought, Jiang Chen started to focus on Tai Ji Wan .

This was a secret method practiced only by people in the Mental Wander State . It had helped him a lot before .

But, Jiang Chen suddenly felt it wasn’t for him .

Or more precisely speaking, not for his sword method .

Spiral holy yuan was much more powerful, which was a dream for many people in the Mental Wander State . Jiang Chen didn’t think it bad, but there had to be an even better choice for his sword method .

Because Tai Ji Wan could be used on knife methods, fist methods, and even palm methods, it wasn’t specifically made for swords .

In comparison, a secret method specifically for swords would be better for him .

There were many such secret methods in Jiang Chen’s memory . At the moment, he was busy considering each of them .

Suddenly, he saw a candle light on the table distorted in an unnatural way . Just then, a figure showed up next to the table .

“Leader?” Jiang Chen was shocked .

The one who could appear from nowhere, of course, was Su Xiuyi .

He had changed into a black robe and looked less aggressive . He was smiling .

He seemed like a young master from some great family more than Leader the Venerable .

Su Xiuyi walked over to Jiang Chen silently and put his hand on the latter’s shoulder .

In the next second, everything in front of Jiang Chen disappeared, as if it had been washed away by water . He felt like he was floating .

When he came to himself, he found himself in the air over a mountainous region .

With the support of an unfamiliar force, he was standing steadily in the air .

Jiang Chen looked down by accident and was extremely shocked . There was a bottomless pit in the ground below him, like a big mouth that was going to devour everything .

Jiang Chen felt uneasy standing above it .

“This is the Black Dragon Pool,” Su Xiuyi’s voice came from behind him .

“The Black Dragon Pool?”

Jiang Chen’s unease disappeared . He stared down at the pit, as if he were trying to pierce the darkness with his look .

“Leader, didn’t you say we would come after the fight? Is something wrong?”

Jiang Chen thought of one possibility and cheered up, but he immediately shook his head . If the leader had really intended to do that, he wouldn’t have brought him to hinder the whole thing .

“Everyone in the school thinks you are doomed to die tomorrow, so I’ve taken you here to see your father for the last time,” Su Xiuyi said .

“Leader…”

Jiang Chen looked over, speechless . Was that something that a leader was supposed to say?

Even he doubted whether Su Xiuyi was the son of the real leader .

“I’m just kidding . Looks like you aren’t worried about tomorrow . “

Su Xiuyi grinned and said, “This is an unexpected move . The Black Dragon Pool is one of the top ten dangerous places in the Fire Field . I didn’t want to be ambushed by leaking the news that I’m visiting . “

“Top ten dangerous places?” Jiang Chen knew how powerful Su Xiuyi was . If even he regarded the Black Dragon Pool as a dangerous place, it must be very dangerous .

And his father was imprisoned down there!

Jiang Chen clenched his fists at this thought .

After clearing up Jiang Chen’s doubts, Su Xiuyi snapped his fingers and the two started to fall .

The speed of falling was normal, but Jiang Chen didn’t feel weightless . Instead, he felt steady .

About ten minutes later, when Jiang Chen looked up he only saw a small opening overhead in the night sky .

“Look how deep this Black Dragon Pool is!” Jiang Chen exclaimed .

“Watch out,” Su Xiuyi said . The two slowed down . A ray of twilight appeared around them and illuminated the stone walls nearby .

Not until then did Jiang Chen see what it looked like under the Black Dragon Pool .

“Damn!”

He saw something made him fly into rage . On a steep stone wall, someone had cut out a smooth slope less than thirty feet long .

A miserable-looking prisoner was shackled to the stone wall by a finger-width iron chain, as if he were a dog!

“Father!” Jiang Chen shouted loud and dashed over to hug the prisoner .

“Grrr!”

However, the guy growled in a hoarse voice . He jumped towards Jiang Chen . Fortunately, the chain wasn’t long enough . Jiang Chen felt threatened, yet there wasn’t any actual danger .

He saw the face under the messy hair . That guy wasn’t Jiang Qingyu . It wasn’t his father .

The disturbance aroused more reactions . The rattling of chains came from other directions .

Not until then did Jiang Chen notice that there were many people chained in the same manner along the stone wall . Some of the slopes were so steep that the prisoner kept sliding down even though their hands were shackled by the iron chains .

“Calm down,” Su Xiuyi said with pity, then he was too busy staring below to comfort Jiang Chen, as if he saw an enemy .

Two giant fireballs had been burning down there for as long as he had cared to notice . He identified a pair of eyes in the fire .

Yes, a pair of eyes, even bigger than Jiang Chen’s body .

They were dashing up towards them at a high speed . Jiang Chen almost cried out of surprise and fear when he saw its face .

A dragon!

The giant dragon’s body was whirling in the void, sometimes visible, sometimes not . Its black scales looked like steel .

It turned out that there was a dragon in the Black Dragon Pool!

A black dragon!

“Blackie, don’t get excited! We’re here to visit someone . This place is a prison . People are allowed to visit their families and friends, aren’t they?” Su Xiuyi said .

His words worked . The black dragon stopped moving up .

The black dragon opened its mouth .

“But you were supposed to be here the day after tomorrow . “

The voice of the dragon was very magnetic, and it knew how to use emphasis while speaking, although listeners wouldn’t be able to tell its gender .

“Plans always change,” Su Xiuyi said .

“Come on . “

The black dragon stopped speaking and retreated to the bottom of the Black Dragon Pool .

“This is a dragon spirit . The dragon was killed a thousand years ago by a powerful man from the Nings, second-to-none . He took its soul and kept it in the Black Dragon Pool to overpower the other forces . It’s a pity that the Nings are steadily declining . They’ve been relying on what their ancestors left them for a thousand years . “

Jiang Chen didn’t know how to answer him . Since the Dragons had closed the Dragon Realm 500 years ago, there were no more real dragons in this world anymore . He hadn’t expected to have seen a black dragon here that symbolized ferocious dragon .

Although it was only a dragon spirit, he felt suffocated .

The two kept travelling downward . A wind had started blowing at some point that sounded even worse than the wind of the Lost Soul of the Natural Law School .

It didn’t only sound terrible, but could also be lethal . It kept squeezing the rays of twilight coming from the outside .

“It’s called black wind . People imprisoned at this depth suffer from its torture days and nights .

“Here we are,” Su Xiuyi said again, before Jiang Chen had any time to comprehend his words .

He followed Su Xiuyi’s look and saw a familiar figure from his memory .

His hair was dishevelled and his clothes were ragged . Many of his wounds had gotten infected .

Unlike the others, he hadn’t lost his senses yet . He was sitting on a stone slope slanted more than 40 degrees, his eyes slightly closed .

When he sensed someone approaching, he opened his eyes slowly and saw Jiang Chen .

“Son!”
