Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm-Chapter 430 - : 429
Chapter 430: 429
As a princess, Ji Kongkong couldn’t travel alone, there were guards dressed as ordinary people, hidden around her.
But with Jiang Li and two others present, even if a foreign Heavenly Demon showed up, it wouldn’t make waves. Their guards had no place to fight, so they just waited innocently under the tea house.
“Did you achieve anything on Four Seas?” Jiang Li asked with a smile.
Xiao Qing replied respectfully: “I did, I had very little knowledge about real dragon bloodlines before. There was a lot of hidden knowledge that I didn’t know about. After interacting with the Four Dragon Kings, I learned many things.”
“Especially about the techniques of using different body parts and their role in battle.”
“The Four Dragon Kings are old figures who have stayed in the Body Integration Realm for hundreds or thousands of years. Compared to them, I am far inferior in terms of battle awareness, techniques, and realm.”
“Keep trying, there are many valuable things to learn from them. Back when I wandered around Four Seas, I also learned quite a bit from the Four Dragon Kings.”
Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin looked at Jiang Li with weird expressions on their faces.
Are you referring to your experience of wandering the Four Seas, learning from the Dragon Kings, same as you challenging the strong ones, beating Dragon Princes and Dragon Grandsons to a pulp, and forcing the Four Dragon Kings to fight against you?
Xia Chao scratched his head embarrassedly: “My experiences are not worth mentioning. I just accompanied Xiao Qing around, observing how the different provinces in Jiuzhou deal with the relationship between humans and monsters.”
“Especially the White Marsh Emperor’s dynasty, I didn’t expect that the monsters’ way of life after gaining intelligence would be soooo different from the Lingxi World.”
“Back in the day, my battles were mostly against magical beasts, but now in Jiuzhou, it’s mostly humans, which I’m not used to. I’m still adapting.”
Originally, in order to speed up Xia Chao’s growth, Jiang Li only taught him how to fight magical beasts, and didn’t teach him how to fight against humans.
Human-to-human combat doesn’t just require cultivation, but also combat techniques and psychological tactics. There’s so much to learn.”
Jiang Li was naturally gifted in this aspect.
This was something that Jiang Li couldn’t easily teach, he could only let Xia Chao learn from battles. After being hit so many times, he would understand how to fight.
The problem for both Xia Chao and Xiao Qing was their lack of experience due to their rapid progression despite their young age, which needed to be supplemented by spending more time learning.
“How have you been recently, Kongkong?”
“Not so good, the Emperor assigns me tasks every day, hoping to cultivate me into the new Zhou Emperor so that he can retire and focus on cultivation.” Ji Kongkong explained, looking troubled. Recently, if she wasn’t studying state affairs, she was on her way to study more state affairs.
Her siblings envied her, but she didn’t feel the same way.
She didn’t want to be the Zhou Emperor, but she couldn’t resist Ji Zhi’s will.
What’s the point of being the Zhou Emperor? I want to be emperor of the humans, I want to be like Uncle Jiang.
“Recently, the Emperor saw that I have mastered the power of Zhong Tong and encouraged me to observe the past using it more.”
“Initially, I was very interested in matters regarding men and women, so I used Zhong Tong to observe. But now, after watching so much, I just feel that it’s more or less the same.”
Ji Kongkong looked at Xiao Qing and Xia Chao.
“Don’t worry, I’ve seen plenty of men and women spending the night together, you guys are not the first pair that I have looked into.”
“Moreover, your positions are too monotonous, there’s not much to watch. Among the people I have seen, you guys rank among the worst. I recommend that you go to the Union Sect to study for a while.”
Xiao Qing and Xia Chao lowered their heads in embarrassment.
“This probably won’t help you in finding a boyfriend.” Bai Hongtu said with a strange expression.
Ji Kongkong waved her hand dismissively: “What’s the use of having a boyfriend? Those of the same age as me are weak, incompetent, and immature.”
“Many of the ministers’ descendants within the court have shown interest in me. I rarely leave the palace, and they don’t really know me. They say they like me just after one meeting, simply attracted by my appearance and status.”
Among those who liked Ji Kongkong were many with handsome looks, outstanding cultivations, and good manners, but she had no interest in any of them.
A regular princess might have considered political issues, but the Great Zhou didn’t need her to, Ji Kongkong had enough freedom.
“I don’t like them, but they persistently come to me. Through my Zhong Tong, I have seen that the ministers are secretly instigating their behavior.”
“These people are very immature, always trying to create various ‘coincidences’ to encounter me. Or they pretend to be casual and unrestricted by worldly conventions, trying to behave unpredictably and showing different faces, hoping to gain my attention.”
“When I use Zhong Tong to see their past and future, I find it laughable.”
“They don’t even know that I have mastered Zhong Tong, I wonder what their reactions would be if they found out.”
“I’ve rejected so many that I felt tired, so I spread the word that anyone who likes me should first defeat me.”
Ji Kongkong was already a Nascent Soul cultivator, it was hard to find anyone of the same age who can match her. Even though the descendants of the ministers were said to have great cultivation talents and remarkable cultivation levels, that was just at the Golden Core Stage, which was considered very good at that age. However, compared to Ji Kongkong, they lagged too far behind. Their battles felt less like a martial contest and more like fighting against magical beasts.
Ji Kongkong’s cultivation talent was on par with Bai Hong, and more than sufficient for her to become the Dao Sect’s prodigy.
Furthermore, Ji Kongkong was proficient in the Way of Time, and the Zhong Tong was of great benefit in battles. Jiang Li was certain that she was the strongest among people of her age.
“People are perverse, many put on a front while their actions behind the scenes are completely different. They don’t practice what they preach.” Ji Kongkong displayed a maturity that didn’t match her age, she seemed to have seen through life and remained indifferent to everything.
Jiang Li suspected that Ji Kongkong might really see through life one day and join Red Dust Pure Land. Ji Zhi wouldn’t have time to shed tears.
Jiang Li remembered that he had first met Ji Zhi in a similar state, but after being beaten up by Jiang Li several times, he returned to normal.
In short, he just needed a good beating.
However, Ji Zhi returning to normal was because he was there. As for Ji Kongkong, Jiang Li really couldn’t think of anyone who could defeat her.
Among Jiang Li’s familiar juniors, Ji Kongkong was the youngest. Qin Luan, Luo Zhu, Luo Ying, Yu Feng were all much older than Ji Kongkong. And even if they fought, it was unclear if they could defeat Ji Kongkong.
Jiang Li felt that since Ji Zhi has gone through this phase, he wouldn’t let Ji Kongkong continue like this. He should have his own ways, and there was no need for Jiang Li to worry exaggeratedly.
Ji Kongkong had seen the past of many people and found that Jiang Li, Yu Yin, and Bai Hongtu were the purest. They didn’t have any hypocrisy and always meted out justice. Their actions made her feel at ease.
She liked to stay with Jiang Li and the other two.
Over the next few days, Jiang Li and the others wandered around the Gentleman’s Country, waiting for the birthday of the Saint of Confucianism.
Xiao Qing and Xia Chao followed close behind, continuing to heed Jiang Li’s teachings, cherishing every second spent with Jiang Li.
The birth of the Saint of Confucianism took place once every thousand years and it was a grand event held in the Gentleman’s Country. As the day approached, the atmosphere in the Gentleman’s Country became more and more lively.
A gigantic statue of the Confucian Saint stood in the center of the Gentleman’s Country, dressed in a scholar’s robe but with an indistinguishable face.
The looks of the Confucian Saint were unknown to his followers.
As the day of the Confucian Saint’s birthday grew nearer, the atmosphere in the Gentleman’s Country became more and more lively. It was a grand occasion, with various major forces sending representatives to participate.
Jiang Li, Bai Hongtu, Yu Yin, and Ji Kongkong took their seats one after another.
