Chapter 137 - The Crazy Animal
Blood-red lightning flashed on Long Chen’s body. Upon closer inspection, there were visible blood-red flames on his skin.
After merging with more Blazing Thunder Crystals, the power of lightning and fire had strengthened his body and merged with his Qi.
With the merging of his twenty-fifth crystal, Long Chen’s body had become extremely powerful, comparable to that of someone utilizing an intermediate Black-tier Body Tempering technique.
Relying on the formidable Blazing Thunder Combat Body, a terrifying battle between Long Chen and the bear commenced.
On Ma Tianyang’s side, he used a strange step technique to dodge the Giant Devil Bear, then he looked for opportunities to attack. Long Chen used a different strategy—he relied on his body’s toughness to attack the bear directly!
If an outsider were to hear that he had attacked a Giant Devil Bear directly, they would think that Long Chen had gone mad. However, Ma Tianyang and the others knew that Long Chen was not crazy, because not only did he not lose, but the brutal collisions even caused the bear to cry in pain, unleashing furious roars that constantly shook the surrounding trees.
The two bragging teenagers no longer dared to speak.
After all, the battle was terrifying. If any one of them were in Long Chen’s current position, they would’ve been flattened by now.
“You can do it!” muttered the group as their opinion of Long Chen rose steadily. Long Chen didn’t seem to be much weaker than Ma Tianyang. In fact, his fight looked more effortless.
Ma Tianyang’s eyes darted at Long Chen out of his peripheral vision, and he was shocked. Indeed, my luck was terrible to have encountered two Giant Devil Bears at the same time, but I also made a friend in Long Chen. In the end, the good luck exceeded the bad luck. All in all, I have ended up with a huge gain!
His tightened heartstrings finally relaxed, and he focused on his opponent. Fighting this animal is tiring! But I can’t lose to him.
After battling for a while, the bear was left covered in injuries, while Long Chen had lost his initial excitement.
He suddenly retreated. The bear thought he was going to run away and unleashed an even louder roar. What it didn’t expect was that after Long Chen took a few steps back, the Qi in him surged and he punched with a loud cry! “Burning Devil Sun Fist, Devil Sun Collision!”
The Fist Seal, which resembled a black sun, slammed into the bear, which shrieked in agony as it was launched into the air. It momentarily blocked out the sun with its size, then crashed in the direction of the teenagers!
Fresh blood flew in all directions!
The teenagers screamed and dispersed.
When the crowd glanced over fearfully, they saw that there was a large hole in its abdomen, its internal organs shattered by Long Chen’s attack.
The terrifying Giant Devil Bear was dead.
Long Chen rushed over and stored the bear’s carcass in his Universe Pouch in one swift move. He had done it so casually that the teenagers stared in a daze, not knowing what to do.
“What? Are you guys thinking of taking my war spoils?” Long Chen asked fiercely.
“We wouldn’t dare ...”
They quickly retreated a few steps, their legs shaking. Brother Bei and Brother Dong might have bragged loudly earlier, but after realizing that Long Chen was ten times stronger than them, they were extremely embarrassed.
“Good.”
Long Chen smiled, then he headed towards Ma Tianyang’s battle.
At this point, both Ma Tianyang and the bear had witnessed Long Chen’s victory. Ma Tianyang was filled with shock, while the bear, who had seen its lady die, raged even more.
“The animal has lost its wits.”
Ma Tianyang knew that this was his chance.
“Brother Ma, I’ve won our bet. Don’t you hide your good wine from me later!” said Long Chen while Ma Tianyang fought.
Ma Tianyang sulked bitterly. Previously, he treated Long Chen as his junior and naturally could decline any request from him. Now that they were close and it was clear that Long Chen’s strength was on the same level as his, Ma Tianyang knew that the precious wine he was hiding would probably need to be given to the teenager!
He vented his frustration on the Giant Devil Bear.
Ma Tianyang’s strengths were speed and ambush, so he was perfectly suited to defeat this beast. It was easy for him to fight one bear alone, especially when it had lost its motivation.
After fifteen minutes, only a carcass was left at his feet.
“Stupid bastard! I can’t believe you were hooking up with another bear at a time like this. You almost got me killed!” He kicked the bear hard, then prepared to put it away. He initially planned to store the whole carcass in his Universe Pouch like Long Chen had, but Long Chen asked him, “Brother Ma, other than the demonic core and its Beast Soul, do you need the rest?”
“Nope. The flesh and hide aren’t worth much money,” Ma Tianyang said straightforwardly.
“Give them to me, then. I need them.”
Ma Tianyang nodded. Although he didn’t know what Long Chen was going to use them for, he didn’t ask. He extracted the Beast Soul and demonic core, then Long Chen took the carcass. The Giant Devil Bear has a lot more blood than the Heart Eater. Two Category Four Black-tier beasts should be enough for me to improve my cultivation.
The higher his cultivation level, the more Qi he needed. Although he was only at the late Human Core Realm, Category Four Black-tier beasts were still not enough to break through to the Earthly Core Realm. These two Giant Devil Bears were barely a meal to him.
I wonder, how much more powerful will the beasts need to be when I reach the Heavenly Core Realm ...
Once they both killed their respective bears, the teenagers finally dared to walk up to them. They didn’t dare look at Long Chen directly, only glancing at him secretly and then immediately looking away awkwardly.
“We’ve all experienced danger together, so let’s all be friends. Come, come. This is your Brother Long. Let me hear you greet him.”
Ma Tianyang was not one to remain silent, for he knew the contempt they bore for Long Chen before this. And Long Chen’s performance was the equivalent of a hard slap to their faces, so it was the best time for Ma Tianyang to embarrass them even more.
These cowards! If I don’t teach them a lesson here, they will continue to be arrogant, thought Ma Tianyang.
Although they were unwilling, they all mumbled, “Brother Long Chen.”
Meanwhile, Long Chen suddenly felt like he was the boss, as this was his first time experiencing this feeling.
Now that the bears had been killed, their training session was over, and Ma Tianyang had to return. Long Chen nodded and suddenly looked in a direction not far away. “Why are you sneaking around? Are you going to show yourself?”
Ma Tianyang and the rest froze, not knowing what Long Chen was talking about. However, two people suddenly emerged from behind the boulders not far away. That was when they realized that two people had been watching them.
These two people were Liu Ling and Uncle Yan.
The battle between Long Chen and the Giant Devil Bear had caused a huge commotion. They hadn’t been far away, so when they hurried over, they coincidentally witnessed Long Chen killing the bear.
Liu Ling initially wanted Uncle Yan to teach Long Chen a lesson in the Heavenly Martial Realm, maybe even kill him in order to wash herself clean of the filth. However, Long Chen’s battle had hit her like a tsunami.
At the time, Uncle Yan said in exasperation, “Ling’er, Long Chen killed the Giant Devil Bear so easily. I don’t think I’m a match for him.”
His words made Liu Ling feel helpless, though when she thought of how Feng Wutian was at the Earthly Core Realm, and also in the inner family, she was filled with confidence again.
Uncle Yan can’t beat you, but Brother Feng Wutian will teach you a lesson! I’ll go look for him the moment I get out of the Heavenly Martial Realm today!
That was what Liu Ling was thinking when Long Chen called them out.
“You were watching us. Why? Want to steal our spoils?” asked Long Chen rudely.
“It’s only a Category Four Black-tier beast—I have no desire for it!”
Liu Ling was extremely uncomfortable under Long Chen’s fiery glare.
“What do you want, then? Unless ... is it Brother Ma? Brother Ma is a prodigy; he wouldn’t fall for an ugly person like you! You should just give up. Brother Ma, let’s go before this ugly person wastes your time!”
Long Chen mocked her, then he pulled Ma Tianyang along and left.
The Gold family teenagers looked at Liu Ling, who was seething with rage, then at each other, and finally decided to leave.
“Long Chen! You’re the ugly one! You bastard! You must die!”
Liu Ling was so angry that she started crying. This was the first time in her life that she was wronged like this. “Uncle Yan, I want to go meet Brother Wutian! I must!”
On Long Chen’s side, after walking for a while, Ma Tianyang slapped Long Chen’s head and jokingly scolded, “You brat! I don’t care if you’re trying to get girls, but you used me!”
“Pfft. I’m not trying to get her. Whatever, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained. Let’s go drink!”
“What are you talking about? I know more about girls than you. The more you bicker, the more you love someone. You guys fight so much; how can you say that isn’t love?”
Long Chen smiled, not knowing how to answer.
The person he bickered and joked around with most was Ling Xi.
