Chapter 1135

(Unedited)

…

The trial War Games ended with the Ogden Academy and Skymouintain School losing against the Lightning Blade Academy. But it was not a total defeat. They manage to gain something from this battle and have discovered the tactics that the Lightning Blade Academy uses.

And it is all thanks to the crystal video recording device that the two schools have obtained from Xin Ja.

At this time, the Ogden Academy team is now on their way home.

Ogden town, Xin Manor

When Xin Jong watched the video recording, he was amazed at the clarity and usefulness of the recordings. Beside him, Xin Han is also showing an excited expression on his face.

How could he not feel excited about such a thing?

He could already tell in his mind the usefulness of such an artifact if the secret forces of the army could get their hands on such a thing.

"Cousin… this thing is truly a wonderful artifact. If my nephew can only give me more of these, then we can surely make our borderland safer…" he said with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

How could he not feel elated when he could tell the value of such an artifact?

As he walks around the room, his mind is already running wild as he imagines what the army could do with it.

"Here… Take two of them… Xin Ja has created a lot of extra of these things…" Xin Jong said as he handed his cousin two crystal recordings.

Xin Jong showed a faint smile on his face and accepted the crystals he has already received from Xin Ja before and now he got a total of three. When he was about to store them in his Mule he noticed it blinking.

The Mule he got from Xin Ja was different from other Mules. It has the same shared use function to some of his subordinates.

They use the Mule as a means of communicating within their secret troops.

He did not hesitate to open his Dark Blue Mule and then takes out a scroll. After reading, the expression of Xin Han turned serious.

"Cousin… I think I have to go now…" he said with a frown.

"Something is wrong?" Xin Jong asked.

"Umm… The neighboring kingdom of Glysko is making its move… I have to assemble the troops. I think my time of rest and enjoyment is done…" he said as he heaves a deep sigh.

"Be careful out there…" Xin Jong said while he patted his cousin's shoulder.

"Don't worry… I'll be back after I took care of the troops…" Xin Han said as he walks out of the manor.

Xin Jong could not help but look at the sky and heave a deep sigh.

"War… Is it going to start all over again?" he muttered as he remember those days when he was sent to war while his own son was still not in his right mind.

In that year, he would always worry for Xin Ja and could not help but write to Master Wang. Luckily, Master Wang treasures his son and has helped them a lot.

"That boy… He recorded the War Games and even became a capable medical apprentice… If Divine Doctor Ba and Master Wang would know this, then they would be proud of my son… Hehe…" Xin Jong could not help but mutter.

…

The way home was uneventful except for the increase of merchants on the road. Plus when they reached the lake where Xin Ja found the 3 treasures, they noticed that the community in that place seem to have increased.

It seems that the fish in the lake became less dangerous. They noticed that a few boats are already coursing through the lake and are not bothered by the large fish.

Everyone was baffled by this weird event.

But no one knew that the reason why this is so is that the 3 most important treasures in the lake were already taken and the fishes did not bother to be hostile as they seem to have no wish to protect the lake anymore.

It did not take long before the Ogden Academy students return to school.

When the news was that the Ogden Academy team actually fought against the Lightning Blade academy and did not totally lose the fight, the whole school became excited.

Then Coach An and the few elders who came with the team show the principal and the rest of the upper echelon of the school about the crystal and that they owe Xin Ja a few thousand of Ki stone just to obtain it. Everyone was immediately delighted.

On the side, Master Wang is grinning brightly as he feels a bit proud of the accomplishment of his disciple.

He could tell after inspecting the crystal that Xin Ja uses the array that he was asking from him from a month ago before they left the academy.

He was a bit confused why the young man would ask him about the audio array and light-catching arrays. It seems that this is the purpose…

He could not help but chuckle in his heart how the mind of that young lad works.

No one in this room knew how talented his disciple was when it comes to rune arrays.

"That brat keeps this from me… I should ask him one when he comes back…" Wang Chanling thought as he showed a faint smile on his face.

"Good… This is a good thing. Master Wang… This is a new artifact… Can you… can you decipher it?" one of the elders asked.

Wang Chanling sneered and shakes his head.

"I could, but… that would not something that I should do. This is the work of a student of our academy. We should get his permission before tinkering with it…" Wang Chanling said.

How could he not know what's going on in the minds of these elders… he knew that they are thinking of copying it and crafting one for themselves.

But then he too was a bit curious about how it works. However… as he checks it a while ago, he could already tell that the rune array and the artifact itself are actually sealed. If he tries to break it open, then it would only crumble.

At this time he is a bit astounded and applauded the ability of his disciple to protect his own works.

"Plus… I could tell you all that this object is protected… if you try to pry open it, and then it would automatically crumble into dust…" Wang Chanling warned.

Upon hearing this, the elders who have plans for the artifact showed a serious expression. They did not want to let go of such an artifact. If their family could get their hands on it, then they could usher the prosperity of their family to the next level.

Suddenly, their target shifted to the name Xin Ja and began to make plans secretly.

At this time, Xin Ja is already walking towards his own home with Xuanlong lying on his head.

Xuanlong has played too much while in Yanzhing town. In fact, Xin Ja could tell that Xuanlong has already reached the 2nd level. But because of his innate ability, Xuanlong could still look the same as a small black salamander.

When he arrives home, the first one to greet Xin Ja was Yao Xue. She was resting on the main courtyard along with her maid when she heard that Xin Ja has arrived.

These days, the maids in the manor have already treated Yao Xue as their mistress and considered her as the eldest daughter of Xin Jong. She is known in the mansion as Xin Xue.

Yao Xue ran towards Xin Ja and quickly held his shoulders.

"You've come back! I miss you so much little Ja…" Yao Xue said with a hint of tears in her eyes.

"Hehe… I'm back Big Sister Xue… And look! Xuanlong is with me!" Xin Ja said as he take Xuanlong from his head.

"Aiyah… I was thinking why I could not see this naughty thing in the house… It seems to have followed you…" Yao Xue said while caressing the head of Xuanlong.

They enter the manor and Xin Ja began to tell her about what happened in his travels. Yao Xue showed a flurry of emotions in her expression as she listened to Xin Ja. Although she feels a bit jealous, yet she did not desire to go out anymore.

She knew of the danger outside, plus the Yao family did not know that she has escaped. All they know is that she was taken by those bandits and would never be coming back ever again.

She would prefer to cultivate and increase her strength in the Xin Manor. As of this moment, she has already reached the 2nd level. Her increase in level is due to her long-suppressed strength and cultivation ability.

If she has not suppressed her true strength, then she might have already been considered as one of the geniuses in the town.

That night, when Xin Jong went back home, the three of them had a good dinner. Ever since the attack in the mansion, the remaining servants and maids could already be considered as the most loyal servants of the Xin mansion. And so they are confident that the identity of Yao Xue would not be exposed.

Unknown to them… their peaceful life would soon be interrupted.
