Dragon Blooded War God

Bai Lan and Lei Ji looked at Long Chen with amazement when the teenager called down a larger amount of celestial Qi than before. Long Chen used it to temper his left arm one more time before moving on to his right arm.

Bai Lan and Lei Ji were impressed by Long Chen’s dedication.

“If he doesn’t sleep and rest, he might actually finish cultivating the Seven Star Body before the month ends. I’m certain that he will find time to study the Martial God Tombstone too…”

“Let’s just see what kind of surprise he would give us in one more month.”

Bai Lan was grinning.

Days passed, and Long Chen’s progress far exceeded their expectations. To them, Long Chen was a monster in the making. They knew how painful it was to even touch the celestial Qi, but Long Chen made it seem like the pain didn’t exist.

But that was false. The pain was still there, but Long Chen had gotten used to it. Even though the pain bore down all the way to his bone marrow, he had grown accustomed to it after cultivating for almost ten days straight. His body was not only growing stronger by the day, his willpower was growing stronger too. At the very least, the pain did not deter Long Chen from continuing his cultivation.

After ten days, Long Chen had successfully tempered his limbs and part of his torso. The limbs had been easy to do, but his torso, especially his organs, were much more delicate. He kept his focus razor-sharp as he tempered them over the next several days. He finally felt like he was alive again when he stopped.

Long Chen knew that the tenth day was approaching. He needed to feed Suyan his blood again, so he prepared in advance. When he was done he quickly returned to the top of the tree. Since he had consumed all the celestial Qi from the previous night and it was still daytime, he chose to spend the day studying the Martial God Tombstone. Advancing from the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage to the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage was not going to be easy since the gap became larger every three stages. Advancing to the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage meant he was jumping from the intermediate stage to the advanced stage.

But with the Martial God Tombstone, combined with his unnatural placement of the Heavenly Meridian and his dragon-shaped Martial Soul, Long Chen’s understanding of the Seventh Earthly Martial Fist expanded rapidly. He still had twenty days or so before the fight. He was certain that he would be able to reach the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage if he continued to study the Martial God Tombstone, but he prioritized cultivating the Seven Star Body.

He had long grown numb to the pain, so he wanted to use the momentum to complete the Seven Star Body’s cultivation in one go. He had a feeling that he would cry if he cultivated it in the future when he forgot how much it hurt.

Night came, and Long Chen once again called down the celestial Qi. After doing it so many times, his cultivation speed had increased rapidly. This time, he called down more than ever before. The massive cloud of celestial Qi fell down like a massive beast and pounced towards him.

“Change!” Under Long Chen’s control, the celestial Qi changed and turned into a rotating purple ball that enveloped him. The celestial Qi turned the surrounding wood and leaves into dust as it cut them apart like razor-blades.

Bai Lan and Lei Ji were already numb to the scene.

“The tree is going to become bald if he continues cultivating,” Lei Ji said.

“The celestial Qi is so sharp that even we do not dare to approach it. Long Chen called down so much of it this time. I suppose he will be able to temper his entire body at least once within the next few days,” said Bai Lan.

Neither of them had anything to do. Since Long Chen’s inheritance was very important, and because everyone knew that he had it, the two patriarchs only felt relaxed when they were personally guarding him.

There was always the risk of Long Chen being killed while he was cultivating if they weren’t guarding him.

Such as how Chen Yang had tried assassinating Long Chen in the past.

Long Chen continued to endure the unending pain. In just three days, Long Chen had tempered his entire body except for his head. It was the most fragile part of the body and the most complicated, so he would have to be very careful with it. One false move and he would die. Long Chen could not rush it.

His cultivation of the Seven Star Body would be half-completed when he finished tempering his head. He would then need to call down a massive amount of celestial Qi to bathe his body in for a week straight to fully complete his cultivation.

Long Chen was now aiming for the half-complete state.

Bai Lan and Lei Ji were both prepared to save Long Chen at a moment’s notice in case anything happened.

Long Chen slowed down at the most critical stage. When the celestial Qi entered his head, he almost passed out from the pain, but thankfully, he managed to endure it and remained awake. Time passed slowly as he endured it. His cultivation was nearing its completion one step at a time.

The intense pain slowly died down and he slowly got used to it. It took him almost ten days to get used to the pain. He only managed to complete his cultivation on the tenth day. By then, he only had half a day to feed Suyan his blood.

Long Chen had a firm grasp on time, so he wasn’t in a rush. He observed his half-completed Seven Star Body as he ran towards Suyan’s room. At the moment, he felt like his body was a star and the core was his heart. His entire body had been tempered by the celestial Qi and was now as tough as a star.

It wasn’t just his toughness that had grown; the Seven Star Body was also strong in the other departments. Long Chen’s entire body was emitting purple celestial Qi. It was as if he was cloaked in sharp razors! From afar, Long Chen was like a purple star that terrified everyone. There was indeed an untold amount of power radiating from him.

Thankfully, he could control the celestial Qi and hide it in his body. It was technically a sort of camouflage, though on closer inspection, others could tell that his skin was emitting a faint, purple light.

Bai Lan and Lei Ji approached Long Chen after seeing that he had completed half of the Seven Star Body’s cultivation.

Long Chen had actually noticed them since the first night thanks to Sight. No living being within a Li could escape his gaze. He knew that they were there to protect him, so he never bothered talking with them until now.

“Brat, try punching me with your Seven Star Body. I want to see whether it's stronger than the Thunder clan’s elementary Emperor-tier Body Tempering Technique, the Heavenly Thunder Combat Body.”

“Alright!” Long Chen liked how straightforward Lei Ji was. Long Chen instantly charged towards Lei Ji. Lei Ji tensed up his muscles and blue lightning flashed across his body.

The lightning was a sign that Lei Ji was tensing up only his muscles. He did not utilize his full power because he wanted to endure Long Chen’s punch strictly with his Body Tempering Technique.

Long Chen shouted and punched. The purple celestial Qi burst forth from his fist and took the form of a massive purple beast that crashed into Lei Ji!

Crack!

Lei Ji fell backwards.

Long Chen was also sent reeling from the impact. He felt like he had punched a metal wall and his fist was swollen and red. Even his arm felt numb from the impact.

He looked at Lei Ji and saw that the latter had crashed into a massive branch. He left a deep hole in the branch, and the lightning scorched the wood black.

Long Chen clearly saw where he had punched Lei Ji, as the latter’s chest was smoking. Lei Ji grimaced in pain.

Long Chen felt even more confident in the Seven Star Body. It was already stronger than the Heavenly Thunder Combat Body even though it was incomplete. This was also the result of Long Chen surprising Lei Ji by attacking so abruptly.

Long Chen was worried that his fist would be bleeding while Lei Ji would be unharmed, but thankfully, that did not happen. The Seven Star Body’s strength had far exceeded their expectations.
