Dragon Blooded War God

“Lei Ji, would you dare let Long Chen test his strength on you?” Bai Lan asked with a grin, pointing at Long Chen.

Lei Ji quickly shook his head. “I’ve already tried that once. It’s your Divine Demon Body’s turn. That’s an intermediate Emperor-tier combat technique, so it’s appropriate for you guys to try it out.”

The two Bai sisters looked at each other and laughed when they saw how the two men were pushing each other to do it.

“Whatever. He’s going to fight Situ Yu in three days. We can just watch then, right? I don’t want to suffer for no reason,” said Bai Lan with a smile.

Then he looked at Long Chen and said, “I was only speaking casually at the time, but I can’t believe you actually succeeded in completing the Seven Star Body in one month. However, Situ Yu has reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, so it will not be easy to beat him. Use the remaining three days to prepare well.”

“Thank you for your protection during the past few days, Patriarchs,” said Long Chen, nodding.

“It was nothing. Protecting my son-in-law is something I should be doing,” said Bai Lan with a smirk.

This man had always been one to make immature jokes, and Suxue was becoming embarrassed. She initially thought her sister would be upset, but to her surprise, Suyan was still looking at Long Chen sweetly.

Why is this girl in such a good mood now? What did Long Chen say to her? Suxue wondered with puzzlement.

After Long Chen completed the Seven Star Body, Bai Lan and Lei Ji left after giving him a few reminders. Long Chen and the sisters returned to their quarters. He did not want to waste the remaining three days, so he immediately immersed himself in studying the Martial God Tombstone.

He was going to fight the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage Situ Yu in three days, so the sisters did not dare disturb him.

“Elder Sister, do you think Big Brother stands a chance?” muttered Suyan, standing at the pavilion at the entrance of Long Chen’s quarters.

Not wanting her younger sister to worry, Suxue said, “Don’t worry. That guy is stubborn and resilient. No matter what happens, he will not die. Oh, wait, I should say that there’s no way he will lose.”

“Elder Sister, you’re lying. You think Big Brother will lose,” said Suyan, widening her bright eyes.

Suxue laughed dryly and said, “Don’t try to guess what I’m thinking. I don’t think that at all. Look at how hard he’s working. He won’t disappoint you.”

Indeed, Long Chen had not relaxed, not even for a moment.

Three days passed quickly. Long Chen called Suyan into his room, then no one heard anything from them. Once Suyan emerged, everyone asked, “Yan’er, why did Long Chen call you inside?”

“Today is the tenth day. Big Brother gave me pills to eat. He’s still cultivating, but I sensed that he still hasn’t reached the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage yet.”

Everyone was a little disappointed, but it was understandable. It was not that easy to reach the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage. The duel was set for noon, and it was still morning, so they were not in a hurry. However, the location of the duel was already filled with people.

Situ Yu and the eight Sect Elders who backed him were already there. It was a large platform. People used to live in the Heavenly Wood City during ancient times, and this platform was likely like a plaza. It was currently packed with people.

This platform was located in the outer city of Heavenly Wood City. This day could be considered an important day of sorts in Heavenly Wood City because every resident was present. News of Long Chen and Situ Yu’s duel had long spread across the whole city. This duel would not only determine whether Long Chen could become Bai Lan’s son-in-law, it would also likely decide who the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance would go to.

Although everyone knew that Long Chen had successfully cultivated the Big Dipper Step and the Seven Star Body, there was no way he could use the Three Thousand Star Clusters yet, which was the most important part of the inheritance.

That was why many people were greedy for the Three Thousand Star Clusters.

Human greed was endless. Even with a super-master like Bai Lan present, the fire of greed burned in the people’s hearts.

The Demon clan, the Thunder clan, and regular cultivators formed three main camps located on three sides of the platform. On the Demon clan’s side, Situ Yu was surrounded by the eight Sect Elders. The Sect Elders were all standing, but Situ Yu was sitting. This was a privilege for the duel’s participants, and it showed how much the Sect Elders prioritized this duel.

If he defeated Long Chen, then the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance would no longer belong to him. It could lead to a fight and end up in the eight Sect Elders’ hands.

The Sect Elders were speaking to Situ Yu, though most of it was praise. He had reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, meaning he was not very far off from them. Plus, he was still young and had not exhausted his potential yet.

In a few more years, he would be another Heavenly Martial Realm master in the Demon clan.

Suxue was also at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. Both were from the Demon clan. To the majority, Suxue and Situ Yu were the rightful couple.

After Situ Yu grew stronger, Situ Yao’s position among the eight Sect Elders had increased significantly too. Many Sect Elders were already starting to act in an ingratiating manner towards Situ Yao. Situ Yu was a good grandson, and he could become the Patriarch once Bai Lan was gone.

Of course, Bai Lan could still live for a very long time as he was at the Heavenly Martial Realm.

The crowd on the Demon clan’s side was noisy. Situ Yu was smug, as he was surrounded by countless people. He felt amazing with so many people supporting him. He even had minions behind him who kept showering him with praise.

“Brother Situ has reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. He will surely reach the Heavenly Martial Realm soon. He is the superstar of the Demon clan.”

“Long Chen, who is at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, is sullying the inheritance of the Seven Star Lord. If it was given to Brother Situ, he would surely be the number one master beneath the Patriarch. None of the other clans have a person like him, who is such a powerful young master!”

“That’s right. Once Brother Situ gets the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance and the Three Thousand Star Clusters, even the Divine clan’s Wu Guangyu will be no match for him.”

Situ Yu felt amazing when he heard the praise.

When he reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, he knew that he would win this duel for sure. Also, he had a powerful trump card, which was the Ever Changing Spear!

An elementary Emperor-tier divine weapon!

The Demon clan’s crowd was bustling, but the Thunder clan was quiet. The seven Thunder Elders stood together quietly. Behind them were the higher-ranked members of the clan, followed by regular disciples.

The regular cultivators were also noisy. They stood around in a disorderly manner, and when they met someone they knew, they would chat brazenly. They were even louder than the Demon clan’s group.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t it started yet? Didn’t they say it would start at noon? Noon is coming, but Long Chen isn’t here!”

“What does the guy who received the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance look like? He hasn’t given up because he saw how strong his opponent was, has he? How could a person like that be fit for the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance?”

“He only got it because he’s lucky! What right does anyone have to say that I don’t have the same luck too? I wonder if I’ll get lucky today?”

Only the common cultivators were complaining at first, but soon, the Demon clan joined in too. Only the people of the Thunder clan remained calm.

“What is he doing? Why isn't he here yet?” Situ Yu looked impatient and looked in the direction of Long Chen’s abode.

“Don’t get impatient. Face him with a calm mind. That kid’s determination is quite terrifying. He has finished cultivating the Seven Star Body, so his body’s toughness will be shocking. You must take this very seriously. That kid is unpredictable,” Situ Yao said into Situ Yu’s ear.

“I understand,” Situ Yu said impatiently.

Situ Yao had already warned him about the Seven Star Body several times, so Situ Yu was getting annoyed. If he had not reached the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, he would have minded. However, no combat technique could threaten him when he was so much more powerful than his opponent.

When Situ Yu’s patience was running out, Long Chen and his entourage arrived. Bai Lan and Lei Ji stood together, while Suxue and Suyan followed them.

Long Chen was behind the girls.

After studying for three days and three nights, he still had not reached the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage. He had managed to reach the last critical step, but due to the lack of time, he had no choice but to cut his cultivation short. Long Chen guessed that he would’ve surely reached the Seventh Earthly Martial Stage if he had ten more days.

If he had made a breakthrough, he would’ve been more relaxed.

Today’s duel was destined to be a difficult battle.

Those who thought Long Chen would not show up all turned to look at the legendary teenager, who made them feel both admiration and jealousy. They thought this teenager would be panicking, but instead, they saw a calm expression, as if he was not about to enter a fight.

“Are you guys sure this is Long Chen? He’s only at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, but he doesn’t look afraid at all.”

“He’s probably pretending. He’s probably terrified inside.”

“I hear that he was the one who agreed to Situ Yu’s challenge. He must not have expected Situ Yu to reach the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage in one month. He even made the promise of not marrying Princess Suxue if he lost. This kid is going to meet a tragic end if he loses. With all these powerful people around, he probably won’t be able to keep the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance.”

Suxue was upset when she heard them. She said with annoyance, “These people are terrible; they don’t know anything, yet they keep spouting nonsense.”

“Yeah, they’re bad people. Big Brother hasn’t offended them, but they say bad things about him,” said Suyan, also a little angrily.
