Chapter 471: Assessment

When Jiang Chen said the word mother, Shun Long saw the proud young man's previously cold expression slowly melting, as hints of pain and suffering appeared on his face, along with 2 translucent tears that rolled down from his cheeks.

It was obvious that Jiang Chen felt that he owed his mother too much, and couldn't accept her situation.

He was determined to do anything he could to save her, no matter what the consequences were for himself.

This was the reason why he decided to take this risk and approach Shun Long to ask for the help of the power behind him, even though he knew that it was possible for him to become a slave in the future. 

After all, no one would possibly satisfy Jiang Chen's request without asking him to pay an enormous price for it!

Thus, before Shun Long could give his answer, Jiang Chen decided to explain everything without holding back. In the end, only if Shun Long and the power behind him knew about his enemies would they be able to confidently tell him whether they could help him or not.

Otherwise, if they decided to go back on their word in the future after learning of the power of his enemies, Jiang Chen would be the one to suffer.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen then touched the finger-sized scar below his left eye with his forefinger as he then continued speaking in a self-mocking tone

''My mother comes from the Yu family of the Eternal Darkness world and this scar means that I have been rejected by the Elders of the Yu family! Although I carry their bloodline, I am not a part of their family, but just an outcast!''

As Jiang Chen finished his words, he stared intently at Shun Long's eyes, almost as if he was trying to see if there was any fear inside them after hearing the name of the Yu family.

Of course, although Shun Long didn't have the knowledge of his past life available at this moment but only a few fragments of them, and he didn't know how strong the Eternal Darkness world and the powers on it really were, he clearly understood that, to be situated in the Immortal Dimension and to possess the bloodline of a powerful magic beast, the Yu family definitely had more than just a few immortals backing them!

Most likely, they were a really powerful force, one that couldn't be taken lightly by most other powers in the Immortal Dimension.

Jiang Chen's dreams of getting revenge on that family wouldn't be easy even if he managed to somehow become an immortal in the future.

Shun Long had an extremely deep look in his eyes as he stared at the young man in front of him, before he said in a calm tone

''It's going to be nearly impossible for you to take revenge. Even if you train with the best resources and the best cultivation techniques and martial skills, even if you have the best sparring partners in this world and manage to become an immortal in the future, you will still be unable to shake a big family in the Immortal Dimension by yourself. Even if another huge power is backing you, they will still be unwilling to fight a war for your sake, regardless of what you have to offer.''

Shun Long's words were like a heavy hammer striking in Jiang Chen's heart. This was the answer he wanted to hear the least, and yet, at the same time, he also understood that Shun Long was right.

How many people would have to fight in a war between 2 powers in the Immortal Dimension?

And yet, Jiang Chen didn't show any despair on his face when he heard Shun Long's answer.

Instead, he nodded his head calmly with an uncaring look in his eyes, as he stood up from his seat and turned around to leave the room.

He had already been prepared to be rejected from the beginning.

He knew that the chances that someone would agree to his request were extremely low.

Even if Shun Long had enough authority inside the power that was backing him to decide something like that, who would easily choose to fight another strong power in the Immortal Dimension for the sake of one person?

And yet, there was still a determined look in his eyes as he started to walk towards the door of the room, completely ignoring the blue-robed young man who was still sitting on the white cushion and the 2 young women by his side.

Shaking his head, Shun Long stared at the figure of the black-robed young man that was walking towards the door before he said in a calm voice

''Although the purity of the bloodline of the Demonic Crow of Darkness in your body has already reached 40 percent, you won't be able to take on an entire family in the Immortal Dimension. You won't even be able to fight against their strongest geniuses! You will die before you know it.

What you don't know is, that in the Immortal Dimension, the stronger families are even able to increase the purity of the bloodlines of their descendants through special pills and rare techniques, making them even stronger. Someone who is born with a 40 percent purity of their bloodline can even reach 80 percent if they are groomed by their family. Do you think that you can fight against such a person?

What will you do if you have to fight against someone who is naturally born with 60, 70, or even 80 percent purity of the same bloodline as you? Can you even stand up to someone like that who has been born in the Immortal Dimension and has enjoyed the best resources from the very beginning of his birth?''

Jiang Chen's footsteps halted as he turned around and gazed at Shun Long who was speaking calmly at him with a shocked look on his face, almost as if Shun Long wasn't crushing his dreams with his words right now, and instead, was stating the most natural fact.

At the same time, Jiang Chen was extremely shocked in his heart that Shun Long had actually recognized the origin of his bloodline so easily! The Demonic Crow of Darkness was a rare magic beast even in the Immortal Dimension, one that not many people knew of. And yet Shun Long had managed to recognize it with a single glance!

However, despite wavering for a moment, the look in Jiang Chen's eyes still remained firm in the end as he said in a determined tone

''Even without your help, I can still take revenge!''

Shaking his head, Shun Long slowly stood up from his seat at that moment, and pointing his finger at Jiang Chen's chest, he stared at the young man in front of him with an extremely profound look in his eyes before he said calmly

''It's useless. Even your unique physique won't be enough to allow you to compete with the best geniuses of your mother's family in the Immortal Dimension by itself!''

Suddenly, Jiang Chen's movements turned rigid as he stood rooted on the spot.
