NOVPUB"Here are the profiles of the noble offspring, take a look."
Wu Bin didn’t respond immediately when he saw Han Chun handing over the tablet.
"Why should we look at their information? It’s of no use to us."
Nightingale said indifferently, "Later on, we will be entering the Dragon Palace of the East Sea together. If you don’t understand the others, what will you do if they turn on us?"
"Moreover, they are probably looking at our information right now. These noble offspring are just used to living in comfort, not really stupid."
Hearing this, Wu Bin thought it made sense.
After all, the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is fraught with danger at every turn, so it does make sense to look at the profiles of fellow travelers beforehand.
After glancing at the tablet, Wu Bin immediately had an idea about the other individuals.
They were two men and two women, each hailing from one of four noble families.
Liu Maiqiang from the Liu Family, Cai Bingyan from the Cai Family, Yang Huan’e from the Yang Family, and Huang Jianbing from the Huang Family.
All four of them were not Supernatural Beings, but rather Qi Refiners.
Which means they were not like Nightingale, who obtained some extraordinary powers due to certain reasons, but through relentless cultivation, accumulating Spiritual Energy, converting it into Spiritual Power, and then using that Spiritual Power to deploy various things.
It could be said that in terms of direction of development and higher potential, these noble offspring were definitely more formidable.
After all, they had a clear idea of what path they should take as Qi Refiners.
But for Supernatural Beings like Nightingale, how to enhance their abilities was unknown.
This was also why these noble offspring looked down on the Supernatural Beings from the Ninth School.
In their eyes, so-called Supernatural Beings were just individuals who had happened upon certain powers by chance, which was a far cry from their own orthodox cultivation.
"This guy named Liu Maiqiang can even fly on a sword? How outrageous is that?"
Although Wu Bin had mentally prepared himself, he was still somewhat shocked after he clearly understood what the others excelled at.
Did these people actually practice what Qi Refiners in legends were supposed to know?
No wonder the hidden noble families were all so arrogant, their caliber was indeed not on the same level as that of the Supernatural Beings, so a bit of arrogance was quite normal.
"Even though they know more, their combat experience is too limited. They can’t beat me right now, so there’s nothing to worry about."
Nightingale spoke with great confidence and composure, and Wu Bin too believed that the noble offspring were no match for Nightingale.
After all, Nightingale had spent years on the frontline fighting for life, and such combat experience was unparalleled by the ordinary person.
Clang.
With a slight vibration of the submarine, Wu Bin and the others looked outside the window and realized they had already arrived at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
Due to previous surprise attacks, the surroundings of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea were heavily guarded with submarines and patrol teams from the Ninth School.
"We’ve arrived, let’s go out now."
Han Chun put on his helmet, then led Wu Bin and the rest out of the submarine.
To Wu Bin’s surprise, Liu Maiqiang and the other three were not wearing deep-sea suits; they simply walked out from the submarine without even carrying oxygen tanks.
When they saw Wu Bin and his fully equipped group, their eyes immediately filled with mockery and scorn.
Wu Bin couldn’t help but gain new respect for Qi Refiners.
It appeared that these Qi Refiners did indeed have some capability; otherwise, how could they move so freely in such deep waters with such high pressure?
Zhu Ling on the side was utterly disdainful.
"A bunch of rookies just getting started, acting all that. They’re happy even though their clothes are soaked, but if I went into the water, the water wouldn’t even be able to come near me,"
As Zhu Ling spoke, she was about to take off her deep dive suit to show those four what a real master was like.
Wu Bin hurriedly stopped her.
"Don’t get excited, there’s no need. You’re thousands of years old, why bother proving anything to them?"
With Wu Bin’s calming words, Zhu Ling gradually settled down.
Wu Bin hadn’t had the chance to take a close look around before due to the An Ya disruption.
Now, standing in the plaza, Wu Bin looked around at the surrounding palaces and felt a deeply shocking sensation.
He felt that the palace was constructed as an exact replica of Xianyang Palace, not just with long staircases and majestic stone dragons, but the meticulous architecture of the eaves and rooftops also gave off an incredible feeling, as if one were really submerged in the vast universe, and the floating marine creatures were like stars moving across the sky.
"You know, this palace is quite aesthetically pleasing. This design must have been conceived by the ancients, right? The Dragon Clan probably doesn’t understand architectural design, do they?"
Zhu Ling curled her lip and said, "Architecture is something useful to you humans but useless for us in the Dragon Clan."
Wu Bin was startled at first, then upon further thought, it seemed to make sense.
Humans need architecture because they hope to change their environments through buildings, for convenience.
Most structures are meant to provide shelter from the wind and the rain.
But the Dragon Clan is different.
They are mystical creatures between heaven and earth, and the wind and rain can be transformed into Spiritual Power for them.
Otherwise, nobody would write poetry about the fresh air and abundant Spiritual Energy after a mountain rain, which even humans can sense.
So, dragons have no need for buildings, only humans do.
The group thoroughly explored the surroundings first to make sure they hadn’t missed anything before they headed back.
Han Chun looked at Zhu Ling and asked, "If we find the real entrance to the Dragon Tomb, will the Dragon Slaves awaken?"
Zhu Ling said indifferently, "Of course, they will. After all, the role of Dragon Slaves is to guard the tomb. If someone intrudes into the Dragon Tomb, those Dragon Slaves would certainly burst out like mad, so you should prepare yourselves mentally in advance."
Upon hearing Zhu Ling’s words, Han Chun immediately frowned.
"Will that destroy these surrounding buildings of the Dragon Palace? These structures still have research value to us, and we want to preserve them as much as possible."
Zhu Ling replied somewhat impatiently, "Why are you making things so complicated? Opening the entrance won’t cause any damage to the buildings, but whether you’ll cause any damage when you confront the Dragon Slaves later, I have no idea."
"Are you prepared? As soon as you’re ready, I’ll get started."
Han Chun confirmed with Headquarters IX once more and, upon receiving approval, finally allowed Zhu Ling to proceed and open the entrance to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
The offspring of the noble families had already been waiting impatiently.
Seeing that it was Zhu Ling, this young girl, who would open the entrance, their interest was piqued as they all speculated whether Zhu Ling might be the offspring of a noble family themselves.
Zhu Ling walked to the center of the great hall plaza, then she began to form hand seals and muttered incantations.
The next second, the entire Dragon Palace of the East Sea started to shake violently!
