Chapter 94 - Training Within the Heavenly Martial Realm
Long Chen was once again overcome with a feeling of uncertainty when he was riding the Divine Gale Peng.
He was previously worried that his strength was insufficient to face Huang Feiyang, and now he was worried that his strength was insufficient to face the crazy Liu Lan.
Wen Ya didn’t know what to do at this point. Huang Feiyang was missing, and it was not something he could settle on his own. Everything would fall onto the administrator.
The Divine Gale Peng soon arrived back in Yuanling City and landed in the courtyard of the Turquoise Willow Residence. Gan Lin was waiting for them.
Everything that happened in Yanluo Town had long been reported back to the Turquoise Willow Residence, which was why Gan Lin knew Long Chen would return safely and Huang Feiyang would not.
Staring at the relaxed youth, Gan Lin secretly was impressed, but the danger wasn’t over yet. “You must be tired after the mission. Head back to your room to rest. I will let you know if there’s anything else you need to do.”
Long Chen nodded and thanked Gan Lin before leaving. He knew Wen Ya was most likely going to be brought back to Administrator Liu to be questioned.
In the end, they were still Long Chen’s examiners.
“He’s probably going to give me the lowest marks.”
It didn\'t matter to Long Chen. He would not let the performance review hinder him. His talent would surely shine in the upcoming battles.
Back in his room, Long Chen organized his items and came across his identity jade token. He checked it and was surprised to see that he had thirty contribution points.
“I completed such a crazy mission and went through so much, yet all I got was thirty points? I wonder what I can buy with this much. I hope it will be better than divine jades ...”
Time passed by quickly while he was chatting with Ling Xi. Long Chen was about to start his cultivation for the night when Ling Xi pouted. “That old hag is making her way here now.”
“Liu Lan?”
Long Chen stood up. He could finally confront Liu Lan again. Their battle would start now.
Ling Xi returned to the Ling Xi Sword, and Long Chen opened the door. But he had not expected the life-threatening aura aimed at his throat!
He knew he would die if he did not react now!
As expected, that fucking bitch is trying to probe my strength, but to think she’s trying to kill me! I would’ve died for sure if I had remained at the Eighth Draconic Stage!
Long Chen released his strength as a Human Core Realm cultivator and barely blocked Liu Lan’s attack. Even then, he took a few steps back, his blood boiling from the impact.
When he was retreating, Liu Lan entered the room as if nothing had happened. She smiled at Long Chen and closed the door gently.
“So you are at the Human Core Realm now ...”
She acted as if nothing had happened. Her face was ruddy while she showed off her enticing body, emanating a bewitching scent.
She licked her lips as if taunting Long Chen to make a move on her.
But Long Chen was not charmed by her at all. He knew Liu Lan was dangerous. If he had fallen for her charm, he would’ve died without even knowing what happened.
Long Chen took a few steps back and stared at her coldly.
“May I know the reason why you’re looking for me this late at night, Administrator Liu?”
Liu Lan chuckled and said alluringly, “Why am I looking for you? It’s late at night and we are locked in a room together. I wonder what would happen ...”
Long Chen was indeed tempted by her alluring body, but he knew Liu Lan was not that kind of person.
“Administrator Liu, behave yourself.”
Long Chen shut her down.
Liu Lan chuckled upon seeing how flustered Long Chen was. Her chest jiggled in front of him, tempting him even further, but then she suddenly stopped. “You are really good, being able to get rid of Huang Feiyang.”
Long Chen was shocked to hear it from her, but it didn’t seem like she was angry. Long Chen calmed himself down after realizing that nothing would happen to him.
“No need to defend yourself. I know Huang Feiyang died by your hand, but don’t worry, I won’t punish you. In fact, I’m here to encourage you ...”
The woman was indeed crazy. Long Chen didn’t know what to expect, so he remained silent.
“Alright, I will stop teasing you.”
Liu Lan adjusted her clothing and explained. “In a few days, the youths of the Turquoise family will be holding a special training session in the Divine Martial Realm. Only those at the Human Core Realm with a potential rating of three stars and above can join. You’ve just entered the Human Core Realm, and your potential rating is exactly three stars, so you will have to join ...”
“Three stars?”
Long Chen was somewhat surprised by this. He knew that the outer family members all had a potential rating assigned to them. The rating was separated into five ranks. Having three stars meant that he was among the best candidates in the Turquoise family.
He also recalled what the Heavenly Martial Realm was. Gan Lin had told him about it when he had just joined the Lingwu family. The Heavenly Martial Realm was a Miniverse with a lot of demonic beasts. It was the training ground of the entire Lingwu family. To think he had to join the training just after completing the mission.
Thankfully, the Blood Saints weren’t yet aware of the Yang family, and their attention would be shifted to the deaths of Protector Qin and Protector Shi. Long Chen would not know what to do if he didn’t have that crucial bit of information.
I am nowhere near strong enough to face off against the Blood Saints. Since the Heavenly Martial Realm contains a horde of Black-tier demonic beasts, it will be a perfect opportunity to increase my strength!
Long Chen’s eyes became more resolute once he had a goal.
Liu Lan secretly chuckled when she saw how fearless Long Chen was, but she said in a cute tone, “Gan Lin will explain the details of the training, the rules, and the rewards. But ...”
Liu Lan acted as if it didn’t matter to her.
“When Feng Wutian asked me about Huang Feiyang just now, I accidentally told him that you killed him. For your information, Feng Wutian is the one with the highest chance to come out on top of this training exercise ...”
She chuckled at the end, but Long Chen was more or less staring daggers at her.
What the fuck is wrong with her? She paired me up with Huang Feiyang previously, and now she’s trying to pit me against Feng Wutian. He’s at the peak of the Human Core Realm. How could I defeat him? Why do I feel like she’s trying to squeeze out every last drop of potential from me?
Liu Lan stopped chuckling when she saw Long Chen’s cold eyes. “Feng Wutian is a genius that I’ve been training for the past few years. He’s only a few years older than you and has almost entered the Earthly Core Realm. He’s also one of the descendants of the Vermillion Bird family, one of the four inner families. He surpasses you in both potential and strength. You will most likely die inside the Heavenly Martial Realm. Brat, know your place. Don’t think you are invincible just because you defeated trash like Huang Feiyang ...”
Liu Lan was most likely joking earlier. Her tone was harsh now, as if this was her true self. Long Chen felt the scornful gaze and how she scoffed at him.
She’s been trying to praise me, but I fear this is her true self. She does not think highly of me ...
Liu Lan turned and left.
“Working hard is important on the path of cultivation, but bloodline dictates everything. Long Chen, you are but a normal Beast Warrior. You don’t even have a Black-tier Primary Beast Soul. How will you defeat someone from the Vermillion Bird bloodline? Maybe you don’t know this, but the prestige of your family dictates who is stronger. Long Chen, you will never be strong because you lack that!”
Long Chen thought about what Liu Lan said to him before she finally left.
He smiled coldly.
“My birth? My father is an existence all of you yearn to become. How could my prestige and bloodline be weak? Now that I’m a Dragon Warrior, how could I lose to someone in terms of potential and talent? Liu Lan, just you wait ...
“The Heavenly Martial Realm? I will show you who has the most potential in the Turquoise Sun Hall!”
Still, Long Chen didn’t know how to defeat Feng Wutian.
Liu Lan was sending him to his death. One wrong move and it would be all over.
“I think that old hag is just trying to kill you. One wrong move and Huang Feiyang would be the one returning unharmed instead of you. And now she’s even throwing in Feng Wutian! Hmph! Long Chen, go get me a Soul Nourishing Fruit and I will teach her a lesson!”
Ling Xi gritted her teeth in anger whenever she mentioned Liu Lan. On the one hand, Liu Lan was much sexier than her and kept teasing Long Chen. On the other hand, she kept throwing Long Chen into deadly situations!
“I don’t have any grudges against her, so why is she targeting me?”
Long Chen didn’t know why. All he knew was that she was trying to kill him by telling Feng Wutian that he had killed Huang Feiyang!
“Xiao Xi, don’t be rash. We will see what we can do once we enter the Heavenly Martial Realm. I haven’t entered a Miniverse before, so I’m quite excited. But first, let’s go to the Treasure Pavilion to see what we can buy with the contribution points. I feel like spending all of my thirty points today.”
“Hehe, let’s go! Buy me anything interesting you find!”
