Long Jian's smile remained unchanged.
He also scrutinized the white-armored youth before him, and the smile on his lips actually widened.
"It's me, what's wrong?"
The white-armored youth sneered.
He took two steps forward and circled the dragon halberd once.
"I am Long Sheng, your only opponent in this martial arts competition!"
He stopped in front of Long Jian, his gaze moving up and down, his contempt almost overflowing.
"But looking at you like this now..."
Long Sheng shook his head dramatically.
"Tsk tsk tsk, is this our great genius Long Jian? He's gotten so weak after just a few days?"
"You've even managed to get a position as a guide boy?"
Long Jian raised an eyebrow and suddenly smiled.
"This is a senior who has come all the way from the first parallel universe, Long Sheng. How can you speak to a senior like this?"
He emphasized the word "senior" very heavily.
The teasing expression on Long Sheng's face instantly froze.
He suddenly turned to Lin Ci.
The contempt and arrogance in his eyes vanished without a trace, replaced by a hint of surprise and doubt.
He immediately bowed to Lin Ci, his attitude completely changing.
"I'm sorry, senior. I didn't mean to offend you. I was just joking with Long Jian."
He apologized, but his eyes were still glancing at Long Jian.
His tone became somewhat hostile.
"I just can't stand his hypocritical attitude, like everyone owes him something."
Long Jian, not to be outdone, retorted sharply.
"It's better than some people who try to gain the upper hand verbally before the fight even starts."
"Anyone who didn't know better would think that the White Dragon Clan wins games just by talking."
Long Sheng's temper flared up immediately.
"What did you say!"
"If you're so capable, then practice right now!"
Lin Ci watched quietly from the side.
He originally thought that after 100,000 years, the dragon race had truly become like one family.
But now it seems that there is a conflict between the two groups.
It seems that it's just a facade of harmony, but underneath, undercurrents are still surging.
Chapter 56 Long Ying 100,000 Years Later
Just when he thought the two were about to start fighting in the street,
Long Jian and Long Sheng exchanged a glance.
The tense atmosphere vanished instantly.
"Hahahaha!"
The two of them burst into laughter simultaneously.
Long Sheng punched Long Jian on the shoulder and laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up.
"You rascal, it's been a long time, and your silver tongue has certainly improved quite a bit!"
Long Jian smiled and returned the punch.
"Be with each other."
A hint of amusement flashed in Lin Ci's eyes.
"What are you two doing?"
Long Jian then stopped smiling, cupped his hands in a gesture of apology to Lin Ci.
"Please excuse my poor senior, this is my good friend, Long Sheng."
"We are both contestants in this martial arts competition."
Long Sheng quickly cupped his hands in greeting and scratched his head sheepishly.
"Yes, senior, this is our first official meeting, so I was a little excited and that's why we messed around."
Lin Ci chuckled softly.
It turned out to be the case.
It seems that 100,000 years has indeed changed a lot.
At least, this Long Jian in front of me can joke and make friends.
She's so much more vibrant than that taciturn guy who keeps everything bottled up inside.
Lin Ci's thoughts suddenly stopped.
They are good friends, but this is the first time they have met.
Lin Ci's gaze swept between the two of them, and he asked in confusion.
"You two are good friends? Then how come this is the first time you've met?"
Long Jian and Long Sheng exchanged a glance, both seeing a smile in each other's eyes.
Long Jian explained.
"That's the kind of senior you are."
"Because there is a period of 100,000 years between the seven parallel universes."
"Only then, due to their own strong gravitational pull, can they be briefly connected, resulting in a seven-day period of convergence."
"Now, it's right within these seven days."
"Our Azure Dragon Clan and White Dragon Clan made an agreement to take advantage of this rare opportunity."
"Hold a grand martial arts competition to foster friendship between the two races and exchange skills."
"So this is indeed the first time we've met in real life."
The doubt in Lin Ci's eyes deepened.
"How did you become good friends when you first met?"
This time, it was Longsheng who rushed to answer.
His face radiated an irrepressible pride.
"Our clan leader and our clan's holy maiden, Long Ying, jointly developed a virtual universe consciousness connection space."
"All members of the dragon race can use alien energy to transmit their consciousness to that virtual universe."
"In that virtual universe, our White Dragon Clan and Azure Dragon Clan exchanged ideas, learned from each other, and made progress together."
"That's where I met Long Jian, and we became friends after a fight."
Lin Ci's expression froze.
His heart skipped a beat.
Consciousness connects to space?
Isn't this the virtual reality technology that we've been striving for in science fiction movies from our past lives on Earth?
Long Fei and Long Ying actually managed to make this thing?
This is no longer a deviation from the original plot.
This is fucking amazing technology!
Seeing Lin Ci's stunned expression, Long Sheng thought he hadn't explained it clearly and asked uncertainly.
"I wonder if you can understand me, senior?"
Lin Ci snapped out of her daze.
He composed himself and put on that calm and collected smile again.
"Clan Chief Long Fei and Saintess Long Ying are truly... intelligent and great people."
When Long Sheng heard Lin Ci praise his clan leader and holy maiden, his pride grew even stronger.
"Of course!"
"Our White Dragon Clan and Azure Dragon Clan are able to achieve the prosperity we have today."
"Thanks to the foresight and wisdom of Clan Chief Long Fei and Saintess Long Ying!"
Lin Ci nodded.
But a storm raged in my heart.
This is incredible.
But upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.
My own appearance, like a butterfly, has completely disrupted the timeline of 100,000 years ago.
Long Fei did not die, and the White Dragon Clan was not completely slaughtered.
Instead, they went to the underworld and gained the opportunity to grow and expand.
And Long Ying, that poor girl who should have grown up amidst hatred and eventually become the Scorpion King.
