Chapter 117 - Black Tier Beast Soul



Chapter 117 - Black Tier Beast Soul

Long Chen shuddered when he heard the news. He stared at Liu Lan in disbelief, stuttering, “N-no way! It’s just a random Grand Priest of the Blood Saints, and his grandfather is Emperor Yuan?”

Liu Lan shook her head in exasperation, with great regret written on her face. “Such coincidences do happen in this world. That’s right, the Great Priest is the grandson of Emperor Yuan. Although Emperor Yuan has more than a hundred grandchildren and he doesn’t really pay much attention to them, due to the historical enmity between Lingwu City and Yuandi City, if we touch the Blood Saints to help you ...”

The beautiful lady looked at him. “Long Chen, I’m sure you know that Lingwu City and Yuandi City are enemies like fire and water. It took massive effort from both sides to reach the truce they’re in right now. Even a minor matter could trigger an all-out conflict.”

Liu Lan’s implication was very clear.

If the Lingwu family attacked the Blood Saints, it could trigger a retaliation from Yuandi City and lead to huge casualties. The inner families held true power in the Lingwu family, and Long Chen’s current position was nowhere near high enough for him to make the family take such a huge risk for him.

That was reality.

But at this point, Long Chen didn’t have high hopes for the Lingwu family either. He thought for a moment, smiling.

When she saw that he was nonchalant, she frowned. “Hey, are you thinking of fighting the Blood Saints yourself?”

“The Blood Saints and I are enemies. If I don’t kill them, they will kill me. Is there really a reason why I shouldn’t fight them?”

He looked up at her pale face with a burning gaze.

When she saw the determination and refusal to surrender in his eyes, the lady who was used to controlling others felt a hint of discomfort.

She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Long Chen, when the time comes, don’t say I didn’t warn you about this. You’ll be lucky if Emperor Yuan doesn’t investigate, but if he does, we will absolutely send you to him immediately.”

“I know. You didn’t have to tell me that,” he said nonchalantly, pursing his lips.

He had always acted fearlessly, that was his style. However, fearlessness didn’t equate to brainlessness. “Also, the Blood Saints have a thousand disciples, as well as eight Grand Protectors and Five Sect Elders who are at the late Human Core Realm. The Grand Priest is a master at the Earthly Core Realm. You may be peerless in the Human Core Realm right now, but you’ll die if you fight an opponent at the Earthly Core Realm!”

Liu Lan could only offer him advice, seeing as he remained so stubborn. In the past, she would’ve been too lazy to even say this, but he had displayed great potential. Fewer than ten people could get four stars as their potential value in the Turquoise family; even Liu Lan herself had four stars.

“Is the Earthly Core Realm really that powerful?” Long Chen was a little surprised. He had defeated Feng Wutian, who was infinitely close to attaining the Earthly Core Realm. By that logic, he should be able to deal with an Earthly Core Realm opponent.

“Do you know why the Divine Core Realm is divided into the Human Core, Earthly Core, and Heavenly Core Realms? It’s because the Divine Core Realm’s first three, middle three, and last three substages have huge gaps between them. There is a huge canyon between the Human Core Realm and the Earthly Core Realm. Similarly, there is a massive gap between the Earthly Core Realm and the Heavenly Core Realm. You are nowhere near powerful enough to defeat an Earthly Core Realm cultivator as you are now.”

Seeing as Liu Lan had given such a confident explanation, Long Chen lost his confidence.

However, this didn’t mean that he was afraid. He was just under even more pressure. This issue with the Blood Saints has dragged on for a long time. Now that the training exercise has ended, I must settle this matter quickly so it won’t cause future troubles.

Long Chen mulled over it while he followed Liu Lan on the path back to Turquoise Sun Hall.

When she saw the teenager fall silent but still remain fearless, she shook her head. He’s indeed a rare talent, but he’s too loud and vengeful. I’m afraid he’s going to attract problems for the family ...

The beautiful, seductive Liu Lan walking together with Long Chen attracted much attention.

Liu Lan was well-known amongst the outer families, while Long Chen’s name was slowly spreading. When others saw him walking with the beauty, they couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild.

Very soon, they returned to the Turquoise Sun Hall. The people in the hall were the same as before they left, though Long Chen was the only youth present.

Liu Yuan and the rest all looked at him with great emotion. None of them had taken notice of him when he had set out for the training exercise. At most, they were amused by the incident of Long Chen not showing up for the duel.

However, what had happened in the Heavenly Martial Realm had already spread across the Turquoise family, and they even knew about the tragic ending of the three late Human Core Realm prodigies of the Turquoise Vanguard Hall. “Come, come. Long Chen, right? Sit here.”

Although Long Chen had injured Feng Wutian, healing the latter was an easy task with the Turquoise Sun Hall’s wealth.

With talents like Long Chen and Feng Wutian spearheading their generation, they would be able to make a name for the Turquoise Sun Hall in a few years’ time like Liu Lan had. In turn, the Turquoise Sun Hall’s rank would rise greatly too.

Liu Yuan was looking at Long Chen. He thought the teenager held great potential.

Long Chen was three years younger than Feng Wutian, meaning he could be even more easily nurtured.

Long Chen smirked privately as he looked at the old man, though he was smart enough to be obedient when someone powerful wanted to protect him. He put on a happy face, displaying utmost reverence—just short of referring to the man as “father”—and greeted him. “Greetings, Sect Elder, Sir!”

Before this, Liu Yuan thought Long Chen was an arrogant person, but now he seemed to be quite humble. Liu Yuan smiled, squinting. “You’re not bad at all. To be honest, I underestimated you. Although you all didn’t get the Supreme Purity Sword in the end, you have given me a lot of face.”

“Uh, Sister Liu has been giving me guidance ever since I arrived in the Lingwu family. It’s only right that I show some results for it ...”

Long Chen spoke in the most natural tone, not even blushing.

Liu Lan’s face twitched when she heard him say “Sister Liu.” Long Chen had maintained a neutral expression on their walk back from the site of the battle, and she hadn’t expected him to change the moment he saw Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan had only laid eyes on Long Chen once before this, and the teenager hadn’t even said a word, so he thought he was just an introverted, timid disciple. Now, he discovered that he had truly underestimated Long Chen. The boy respected his elders, was bold, and was a good kid through and through.

He now favored Long Chen greatly, but Long Chen was not smug about this, because Liu Yuan had blocked the operation with the Blood Saints despite knowing about his talent. This meant Liu Yuan wasn’t that kind of person.

After discussing some regular administrative matters, Liu Yuan suddenly stroked his long beard and said smilingly, “Long Chen, I wanted you to come here because I wanted to reward you.”

“Thank you so much, Sect Elder!”

Of course, he would take whatever reward they gave him. Long Chen didn’t know what it was yet, but he was ready to receive it with open arms.

“Initially, I wanted to get you an intermediate Black-tier Combat Technique. But now, I have changed my mind.”

The five other administrators gasped. Long Chen’s reward had already been prepared before his arrival. This last-minute change of plans only meant that Long Chen’s kiss-ass behavior had appeased Liu Yuan.

“May I ask what the reward is, Sect Elder?” Long Chen asked expectantly.

Indeed, with the Burning Devil Sun Fist in his bag of tricks, Long Chen didn’t really need a Black-tier Combat Technique.

Liu Yuan eyed him for a while and said, “Your Dragon Realm Primary Beast Soul is a Category Five Yellow-tier Underground Blood Lizard. You haven’t found a Black-tier Primary Beast Soul after entering the Human Core Realm, have you? Coincidentally, I have a Beast Soul with me here, but it’s very precious and I can’t give it to you so casually. To get it, you must fulfill one condition.”

Long Chen froze, then he recalled that he was a Beast Warrior to these people.

In reality, he didn’t need a Beast Soul. He had retrieved Beast Souls during exercise to be sold for contribution points later.

But Liu Yuan’s next words stunned him. “It is a Category Six Black-tier demonic beast—the Beat Soul of a Violet Demonic Lizard. It’s a very powerful beast amongst Category Six Black-tier demonic beasts. One of these sells for a hundred thousand divine jades at the Dawn Trading Alliance!

Long Chen couldn’t breathe when he heard the price. He had gotten used to being poor, and the greatest number of divine jades he ever had was only about a hundred. One hundred thousand divine jades! Oh, the things he could buy ...

“Even Lingwu family members can’t purchase this Beast Soul without ten thousand contribution points. But you’ve performed well this time, and this Beast Soul belongs to me. So, I will let you buy it from me for just five hundred contribution points. Consider this a test for you!”

Liu Yuan looked at him solemnly. “You haven’t made any significant contributions to the Turquoise Sun Hall, so there would undoubtedly be chatter if I gave it to you directly. That is why you must work for it!”

Liu Yuan’s gaze swept across the other elders and administrators, clearly implying that these people were obviously the ones who would gossip. There were already many stiff looks when he talked about the Beast Soul.

Looking at Liu Yuan, Liu Lan thought to herself, Father is investing so much in him. I can’t believe he’s even offering a Category Six Black-tier Beast Soul! Even I find it difficult to defeat a Violet Demonic Lizard. But ...

She looked at Long Chen. A Violet Demonic Lizard indeed suits the brat. But he’s going on a suicide mission to the Blood Saints, would he even get the chance to collect five hundred contribution points? Also, that many contribution points is very difficult to earn!

On the other hand, Long Chen was thinking, How can I get my hands on this Beast Soul so I can sell it for a hundred thousand divine jades ...
