Chapter 79 Nine Heavens Dragon Step

When Gan Lin saw the newcomer, his pupils constricted and he asked mildly, “Feng Wutian, are the identity jade tokens here?”

Long Chen also looked at the young man who had just appeared outside the door. He looked about twenty years old or perhaps even younger, at least much younger than Gan Lin, though he seemed to be more powerful than Gan Lin.

Everyone watched as the handsome man named Feng Wutian strode into the Martial Hall. He took out five identity jade tokens, then he turned and left without a word. When he left, he took a cold glance at Long Chen, which sent chills straight to Long Chen’s heart.

He drew a sharp breath.

Once Feng Wutian left, Gan Lin asked with concern, “Long Chen, are you alright?”

He nodded and asked, “Senior Gan, I’ve never met Feng Wutian in my life. Why did he seem hostile towards me?”

Gan Lin shook his head with a bitter smile. “Feng Wutian is Administrator Liu’s most talented subordinate. He turned nineteen this year and is already at the peak of the Human Core Realm. He will likely reach the Earthly Core Realm soon. It’s best not to offend a person like that. But let me tell you this: Huang Feiyang used to be one of his lackeys, so they’re close. And Administrator Liu punished Huang Feiyang because of you today, so Feng Wutian ...”

Long Chen’s face darkened.

He had already gained an enemy in Huang Xiang over the horse Lingqing had given him. And Huang Feiyang couldn’t wait to kill him because he had hurt Huang Xiang. Now, because Huang Feiyang was punished, he had subsequently provoked a prodigy so far out of his league ...

Long Chen fell into despair. I can’t even defeat Huang Feiyang, now Feng Wutian has appeared ...

He was very annoyed by Feng Wutian’s cold glare, but he knew he was too weak, and his life was as fragile as a piece of straw to Feng Wutian. That was why all he could do now was hold it in! Once I become stronger, I will take my revenge on every single person who has offended me ...

With this thought in mind, a fierce glint flashed in Long Chen’s eyes. Gan Lin shook his head when he saw his expression. “Don’t you be too brash. Forget about Feng Wutian—even Huang Feiyang is too strong for you. They are both subordinates of Administrator Liu, so it’s best you avoid conflict with them. Feng Wutian’s potential is greater than yours and Administrator Liu likes him very much. If it came down to it, she might even incapacitate you herself. I’d advise you to be humble and apologize, as that’s absolutely a possibility. A true man knows when to bow.”

Gan Lin’s words impacted Long Chen like a hammer to his head. He bit his lip, knowing that all he could do was bear with it because of the Yang family.

He didn’t dwell on the topic, seeing as Long Chen didn’t react. He gave everyone an identity jade token then said, “Try out these tokens according to what I taught you.”

Long Chen took the jade token, which was the size of his palm. The was a strange rune carved onto one side, while the other side had two protruding, carved characters: Long Chen. It was exquisite. Clutching the token, he extended his Qi to feel it, and a stream of information flowed into his brain.

“The data will change in real-time,” explained Gan Lin.

Long Chen put it in his Universe Pouch.

Now that he had this token, he was a true Lingwu family member.

Gan Lin had finished his briefing, smiling faintly at the ground. “You all will receive your first mission in five days. This mission is especially important to all of you, so you must do your best to complete it!”

“So soon?”

Long Chen thought they’d let them recuperate for a while since they had just completed the qualifiers and everyone was hurt.

He had completely lost his ability to fight after Huang Feiyang’s punch, and he had barely been able to sit through the briefing.

Gan Lin nodded. “This will be your first trial, and also the time to display your loyalty to the Lingwu family. I know you all are injured, so I came prepared ...”

He retrieved a few spiritual herbs from his Universe Pouch. “These are stalks of advanced Yellow-tier Huiling Grass. They can nourish your internal organs and help with the healing of external injuries. It’s enough for you guys to return to your peak strength in five days’ time. Consider this your first reward since entering the family!”

Long Chen’s concern dissipated when he received the Huiling Grass. Everyone took the herbs and put them in their Universe Pouches. Gan Lin then took a piece of lambskin parchment from his pouch with a grin. “Every person who enters the Lingwu family gets a reward: one elementary Black-tier combat technique and ten divine jades. I’ll distribute the divine jades in a moment, and you all may pick a combat technique from this list. You may also ask me for more information about these skills.”

As he spoke, he passed the parchment to one of the members and then took out fifty divine jades, distributing them to all five members.

Long Chen’s savings were now a mere eleven divine jades.

Cultivators who first entered the Human Core Realm usually owned fewer than a hundred divine jades. The Lingwu family is very generous! Advanced Yellow-tier Huiling Grass, ten divine jades, and most importantly, an elementary Black-tier combat technique!

He was privately shocked.

After Gan Lin answered their questions, the other four members found themselves a combat technique that suited them. The parchment finally arrived in Long Chen’s hands. He glanced through the list and noticed that all the techniques had cool names. There were fist techniques, finger techniques, seal techniques, claw techniques, footwork, and everything else. There were even sword techniques. I already have the intermediate Black-tier Burning Devil Sun Fist. If I get another elementary Black-tier attack technique, it probably wouldn’t be very effective ...

Long Chen skipped all the titles at the top and went straight to the bottom. He finally found a Body Combat Technique named Nine Heavens Dragon Step.

And so, he asked, “How is the Nine Heavens Dragon Step?”

Long Chen already possessed an intermediate Black-tier combat technique, so Gan Lin wasn’t surprised that he had picked a Body Combat Technique. He looked like he expected this choice. “The Nine Heavens Dragon Step is one of the most famous elementary Black-tier Body Combat Techniques. When utilized, it will be as if the user has turned into a water snake—fast and hard to pinpoint. It makes it difficult for your opponent to track your movements. If combined with a powerful attack, the effects are immense. Your body becomes very tough after your Beast Soul Transformation, so this skill suits you greatly!”

Since Gan Lin had spoken so highly of the Nine Heavens Dragon Step, Long Chen made a quick decision. “I’ll choose this, then.”

Gan Lin was happy that Long Chen could pick a skill that suited him. Now that he had briefed them about the essentials and distributed the necessities, Gan Lin stood up and stretched. “It’s been a long day. Go home and treat your wounds; take your time to familiarize yourselves with the new techniques. I live at the Level One disciple quarters of the Turquoise Willow Residence. Feel free to come to me if you’ve got any questions!”

Then he left.

Everyone was in a hurry to get back, so after a brief chat to get to know each other, they all returned to their rooms immediately. “The common person can’t get into another Lingwu disciple’s room. The door is opened by my identity jade token.”

Long Chen’s world expanded once he opened the door and saw the delicate and luxurious furnishings inside. The Lingwu family was indeed rich if even a Level Four disciple could live in such a luxurious room.

When he closed the door, Ling Xi immediately flew out of the Ling Xi sword. As she surveyed the quarters made of white jade, she broke into a wide grin. She circled the room for a while, then sank happily into the bed, mumbling to herself, “Finally, a place that somewhat satisfies me. This bed shall belong to me from today onwards!”

Long Chen teased, “Xiao Xi, shouldn’t that be mine? Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for two single people of the opposite sex to be sleeping on the same bed?”

Ling Xi leaped up immediately, glaring at him. She scolded, “You lecher! In your dreams! I don’t want to sleep with you! I’m taking the bed and you’re taking the floor!”

Long Chen chuckled, ignoring her. He took a few steps inside and discovered an underground room. Based on its furnishings, it was a cultivation room. He entered and sat on a cushion, then he announced to Ling Xi, who was enjoying herself up there, “Hey, you enjoy yourself up there. I’m treating my injuries.”

Admittedly, Huang Feiyang’s punch had moved his internal organs slightly. If it wasn’t for pure willpower, Long Chen wouldn’t be standing right now. Gan Lin had noticed his resilience, which had gained even more of his approval.

When he took out the Huiling Grass, Long Chen studied it and realized that its medicinal scent was much more pungent than the demonic ginseng. It’s no wonder this is considered an advanced Yellow-tier herb!

When he consumed the Huiling Grass, he felt a refreshing current flow through his body, gently nourishing and healing it. Long Chen subtly moved his Qi around to support the Huiling Grass’ medicinal power and heal his injuries.

In less than fifteen minutes, Long Chen discovered that his body had an extraordinarily high recovery rate. An injury that would take other people five days to heal took him only one day.

When he opened his eyes, they were filled with coldness. “Huang Feiyang! One day I shall return the punch you gave me!”

Although there was a gap between them, closing it wasn’t impossible. “Once I enter the Human Core Realm, I will use the Burning Devil Sun Fist and Dragon Soul Transformation ...”

Long Chen knew that Huang Feiyang hated him to the bone. Since they both lived in the Turquoise Willow Residence, if Long Chen didn’t kill him, he would one day kill Long Chen.

Night arrived quickly. There was a sudden knock on his door. Ling Xi looked disgusted when she said, “That damn woman’s here to see you!”

“Who?” Long Chen didn’t understand why Ling Xi looked so annoyed.

“It’s that woman from this morning, Liu something. How dare she come here in the middle of the night! Does she have no shame?!”
