Chapter 538 - Xiaolang\'s Wish

“Big Brother, Fat Cat told me some great news!” Xiaolang cried excitedly from within the Primordial Realm while Long Chen was treating his injuries.

“What good news?” Long Chen asked hurriedly.

“Have you seen a King-tier beast?” asked Xiaolang.

“Of course not.” There were no King-tier beasts in the Ancient Demon Domain.

“Fat Cat says that demonic beasts at the King-tier and above can take human form. The more powerful they are, the more powerful their human form. However, A King-tier beast’s human form is far weaker than their beast form. And when the beast reaches the Emperor-tier or Divine-tier, their human form will be extremely powerful too! This means I will have a chance to be human again ...”

“What?” Long Chen almost leaped from the boulder with excitement. He had always regretted allowing Xiaolang to lose his body and turn into a Sun Devouring Wolf. So there was a chance for him to turn into a human again? Even though he wouldn’t be strong in human form, that was not really important! The most important thing was to recover his human form. He was a perfectly normal person, but he had been forced to live as a beast—no one would enjoy that fate!

“Every martial artist in the Divine Martial Empire knows that King-tier beasts can assume human form. What is so surprising about that? It’s embarrassing for a god like me to be with you two ignorant hillbillies!” Little Cat sighed.

“Shut your mouth,” Long Chen said jokingly. Then he said to Xiaolang, “This is great news! After the Day of the Nine Suns, I will do my best to find fire-type treasures for you to help you break through to the King-tier! I wonder what changes will come when the Sun Devouring Wolf becomes a King-tier beast! I’m looking forward to seeing it!”

“Thank you, Big Brother!” Xiaolang was emotional too.

“We’re brothers! You don’t have to thank me!” Long Chen hadn’t learned much about King-tier beasts in the Ancient Demon Domain, so this new piece of information was a pleasant surprise.

This was the happiest piece of news he had received since leaving the Ancient Demon Domain.

Xiaolang had left his hometown with him, and they were brothers for life. Long Chen knew that losing his human form to become a beast was Xiaolang’s biggest regret. Even though he would fundamentally be a beast despite taking human form, at least he would be able to live as a human again.

The Sun Devouring Wolf was initially only a Category One Earth-tier beast, but it possessed extraordinary absorption abilities. Long Chen knew just how terrifying Xiaolang could be with time!

The ancient dragons ruled over all the species on the Dragon Continent. They were super strong from birth, and Long Chen did not know much about other beings. However, unlike humans, a beast’s strength was mostly determined at birth. The Sun Devouring Wolf was a special exception, and it was similar to humans in that it could increase its strength.

Humans were naturally the weakest beings, but they had great plasticity and were highly intelligent. They had invented cultivation techniques to increase their strength. If it were not for the fact that humans could cultivate, the Dragon Continent would belong to the beasts. Without cultivation, how could humans rule the continent?

Long Chen privately decided that he would help Xiaolang get stronger as soon as possible.

He was a human being first and foremost, so even though he had become a beast, he had to live as a human.

Three days and three nights passed quickly. Long Chen exited the wooden house after he completely absorbed all the medicine that Long Yue had prepared for him. Her work was as reliable as expected, and Long Chen had completely recovered from the damages caused by Blood Sacrifice.

As for the foundational damage he had sustained, his foundation had always been more powerful than that of other people, resulting in extraordinary comprehension and cultivation speed. He had already absorbed a hundredth of the Inherited Blood Essence, and the next time he absorbed the Inherited Blood Essence, this tiny bit of damage would be completely fixed.

Long Chen remembered that he would turn into a true Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon after absorbing all of the Inherited Blood Essence. Of course, he would first take a juvenile form and it would take a very long time to grow, but he knew it would be enough for him to marry Ling Xi proudly in broad daylight.

His future, which had been dark just recently, was filled with color once more. Battle spirit filled his gaze!

His body was filled with power once more!

The ordeal at the Ancient Demon Domain had not defeated him!

“All we have left to do is wait for the Day of the Nine Suns, which will be in five days!”

There would be nine suns in the sky, and they were all remnants of the Golden Crow’s soul! What would happen then?

When his body was filled with the Golden Crow’s powers, despite being at the Ninth Passage Stage, he would be able to unleash powers beyond that level, right?

Little Cat once said that the suns were actually remnants of the Golden Crow’s soul and that he could only retrieve a small portion of it. However, Little Cat had bragged about how powerful the legendary Golden Crow was, so it was surely an excellent beast!

Long Chen had a feeling that this would bring a powerful boost to his future battles!

He couldn’t wait for the Day of the Nine Suns.

Long Chen looked around and found that there was no one around. When he used the Soul Swallowing Gaze, he realized that the rest were in their houses, so they were probably cultivating. Only Lan Ling’er’s house was empty. He was just wondering where she was when a powerful force ambushed him and pushed him into the tranquil lake.

He climbed out in exasperation while Lan Ling’er was bent over in squeals of laughter.

“You’ve been soaking for three days; you didn’t expect to be soaked again right after you came out, right?” said Lan Ling’er, laughing.

He could not stand her. She was already in her twenties, yet she was still so childish. He climbed out without a word and dried his clothes.

“Long Chen, while you were healing, the rest have been cultivating. I’ve been so bored. You must go out with me.” Her clear eyes sparkled.

“Will Sister Long Yue let you go out without permission?” Long Chen asked.

“Of course! I’m not a three-year-old, and my disguises are ten thousand times better than what you can do. I’m going to take that as a yes. Wait for me ...” Then she turned into a blue gust of wind and disappeared. When she reappeared, Long Chen was stunned.

A handsome, elegant young man appeared in front of him. He spun a few times and said, “What do you think? Brother Long, can you still recognize me?”

Her voice was still high-pitched, but it was very different from its previous feminine tone. Regular teenage males also sounded like that. She was indeed the Ever-Changing Demon Girl, and only a shadow of her previous self could be seen in her current looks. Even her height had changed; she was about ten centimeters taller than before. She was a completely different person.

“Sister Lan, I’m impressed! Very impressed!” Long Chen could not help but give her a thumbs up.

“Wrong, you need to call me ‘Brother Lan!’” corrected Lan Ling’er. Then she grabbed his hand and dragged him into flight. He felt the wind blowing on his face and could faintly tell that she was leading him through the trees.

I must admit that the Earthly Martial Realm is terrifying. I was only able to kill the Red Ghost King due to luck.

Although he was very powerful then, a large contributing factor to the Red Ghost King’s death was the fact that he had underestimated Long Chen. If the Red Ghost King had used all his strength to defend himself, Long Chen would’ve been no match for him.

Judging by how Lan Ling’er slowed down a lot once she had left the Phantom Ravine, she was definitely sneaking out.

Long Chen finally could see his surroundings clearly, and when they were close to the edge of the forest, she basically let him travel on his own.

She grabbed his sleeve and said demurely when she saw how serious his expression was, “My good brother, why are you so nervous? I was bored in the Phantom Ravine! I’m just bringing you out to play!”

Long Chen could not stand her.

“Alright, alright. We’ll play. I’m not afraid.”

“That’s how a man should be.” She chuckled when she won.

Long Chen sensed the auras of many people around, and they were all at least at the Seventh Passage Stage.

“These people are all Fifth Brother’s subordinates, also the assassins of the Red Souls. Due to suppression of the Martial Alliance, the Red Souls don’t take assignments anymore, but their information network is powerful. They’re the reason we learn about what happens in the Divine Martial Empire very quickly,” said Lan Ling’er with pride.

This was yet another impressive part about the Dragon clan.

“You must work hard to gain their approval and become our Seventh Brother. You’ll be sworn in, and maybe Fifth Brother will give you a few subordinates so you can have fun being a leader,” said Lan Ling’er.

Swear in?

Long Chen thought for a moment. Perhaps it was not a bad choice at all.

“I will work hard,” Long Chen said with a smile.

Lan Ling’er nodded and continued to lead the way. After they exited the forest, a city as large as Yellow Martial City appeared ahead.

Turning around to look at the vast forest, Lan Ling’er said, “Little Brother, many Red Souls assassins are hiding in that forest. If someone tries to kill you, we will come out to save you as soon as you enter this forest! Of course, it’ll be better if you stay with us the whole time.”

“I understand.” He privately made a mental note. What she had implied was that the Red Souls had taken over this patch of forest.

“Let’s go to Liang Martial City!”

There was a hilly area ahead, and on its other side was Liang Martial City.
