Dragon-Blooded War God

When he tried to think of a performance, Long Chen’s mind went blank. Ever since he received the dragon jade, he had been focused on learning how to kill. He had forgotten about things like that a long time ago. That was why he felt like he was inferior to them when comparing his life of killing to their lives of freedom.

He had gotten on the right path for cultivation, but in terms of mindset, he had taken a more demented path; Blood Transmutation had led him into the abyss of killing and violence.

“I truly don’t know anything …” Long Chen waved his hand with a bitter smile.

“You don’t? Then I’ll have to do what I said! I’ll have to strip you naked!” Lan Ling’er tried to scare him.

“Ling’er, that’s enough. Don’t scare him. You’re a lady, why are you always talking about getting naked? If he let you strip him naked, would you even dare to do it?” Jiang Wuya laughed.

Lan Ling’er turned both embarrassed and angry.

“But, Long Chen, you can’t just watch us without performing. We will give you a task. If you complete it, we will not force you,” said Jiang Wuya.

“If you can get Yue’er out here, we will let you go,” he continued.

Long Chen was just wondering why Long Yue wasn’t here when the five of them were enjoying themselves.

“Big Sister has always been like that. She works too hard and usually ignores us when we play. That is why if you can get her out here, we will not bother you anymore,” Lan Ling’er added.

“Alright, I’ll try my best.” Seeing as everyone looked so insistent, Long Chen had no choice but to stand up and head towards Long Yue’s wooden house. Perhaps because she liked the quiet, her wooden house was far from the others.

He looked back and saw that they were partying once more. He was speechless at how they acted this way at their ages.

There was no sound coming from Long Yue’s wooden house. After he arrived at the door, he was about to knock when a voice came from inside. “Come in.”

It was Long Yue’s voice.

He pushed the door and entered, then he was stunned by what he saw. He saw a girl in loose-fitting silk clothing with her hair up in a ponytail while she practiced a punching routine. Her punches looked normal, but there was something philosophical about the way she performed. Long Chen’s gaze was immediately attracted to her, and he was completely immersed in her routine, quickly forgetting why he was there.

Her every move, including every punch and every time she retracted her fist, seemed to connect to the depths of his heart. The space in front of him seemed to be endlessly vast and Long Yue was standing at the center of it. Every time she punched, the earth shook and waves of energy crashed. Although her punches seemed simple, they were closely connected to the pulse of the land, as if she were the center of the world. Every moment made the ground shake around her.

As the strange punches flew in front of his eyes, an indescribable feeling arose in his mind. He was confident that no matter how much strength he used, he would not be able to recreate these punches. It was unrelated to their strength because Long Yue was punching so lightly that not a sound could be heard.

She is using only a tiny bit of strength, but it is enough to shake the ground. This is not related to strength, but to her mind and soul. When Long Chen comprehended this point, Long Yue finally slowed down her punches, and Long Chen woke up from his astonishment.

Long Yue was not wearing the helmet she had been wearing before. Her ponytail paired with her soft, white clothing made her look exceptionally graceful. Long Yue was as beautiful as Lan Ling’er, but while Lan Ling’er was coquettish, Long Yue radiated elegance. There was also magnificence in her eyes that made other people too intimidated to look into them. Her energy field even made him feel chills.

She looked at Long Chen and asked, “Did you feel anything from the punching routine just now?”

“I’m confused; I don’t really understand it.” Long Chen did not dare put on airs in front of her.

Long Yue changed the subject and said, “I heard your cultivation progressed very quickly in the Heavenly Passage Realm. You improved a lot in just one or two months, right?”

“Mhm.” Long Chen nodded, unsure of her intentions.

“I bet you won’t be able to achieve that speed when you reach the Three Martial Realms,” she said directly.

“Why?” He did not understand, because if he relied on Blood Transmutation, he would be able to achieve quick growth regardless of the cultivation level.

“It looks like you don’t know a thing about the Three Martial Realms. The Three Martial Realms are different from the Four Foundational Realms, as the Four Foundational Realms involve pure Qi growth and clearing the meridians of the body. The Three Martial Realms are different. You can say that you are only considered a true martial artist once you have entered the Martial Realms!”

“Why do you say so?” Long Yue’s explanation shook his understanding.

“As long as you have a tiny bit of talent and you can refine some spiritual herbs to gain more Qi, you can clear the Heavenly meridian and reach the Ninth Passage Stage when you’re at the Four Foundational Realms. However, why are there so many people stuck at the Ninth Passage Stage, unable to progress to the Three Martial Realms? It’s because they don’t understand what ‘martial’ means! They don’t know what ‘Martial Realm’ means!” Long Yue gazed at him wistfully. What she was implying was that if Long Chen did not understand this, it would be very hard for him to progress.

She was a cultivator at the Third Earthly Martial Realm, so she definitely had the right to teach him. He knew that since she had said this, then she intended to teach him the right way.

He asked hurriedly, “Could you please explain it to me in detail, Sister Long Yue?”

Long Yue privately approved when she saw that he was not stubborn in his ways and was humble enough to seek teaching. She said, “The most important thing for you now is to clear your hidden injuries, then use the Emperor Flame Pearl to ascend to the Ninth Passage Stage during the Day of the Nine Suns, which will be in eight days. After that, I will teach you what the Martial Realm means.”

Long Chen knew that being impatient would get him nowhere.

Therefore, he nodded and said, “Thank you!”

Long Yue was a woman filled with personality, and she was warm despite her icy exterior. He reckoned it would be beneficial to get to know her well.

“You don’t have to thank me. The blood flowing in your body is the same as mine. When you become strong, you’ll be able to extend our bloodline. That is my dream,” said Long Yue.

Even without her helmet, she spoke without any expression.

“I have prepared the spiritual medicine. Since you’re here, I’ll start treating your injuries now. You used a method that exhausts your body’s potential. While I have no way of helping you get back the potential you lost, I can return your body to brand new. But you must remember never to use that technique again.”

Though her words were cold, Long Chen could hear the concern hidden in them.

He knew that she was taking great care of him because of their bloodline.

“Are we starting now? They’re waiting for me outside …” he said awkwardly.

For some reason, he felt like a younger brother in front of Long Yue, afraid that his older sister would be displeased by his poor performance.

“Ignore those idiots,” Long Yue said directly.

She brought him into his own quarters.

“Your injuries require both internal and external treatment, so they will take at least three days and three nights to heal completely. I have prepared a few spiritual medicines that will be effective only when they are used together. The main ingredient is the elementary King-tier spiritual herb, the Snow Heart Lotus.”

Long Chen only nodded. He would let Long Yue take control of his treatment as she must have already made ample preparations. She took out a gigantic boulder from her Universe Pouch, which had a smooth indent large enough to fit Long Chen’s body.

“This indent …” Long Chen was shocked.

“You guessed it? Not bad. Yes, I hit it to create the indent.” She looked at him with praise in her eyes.

Long Chen was astonished. The smoothness of the indentation on this boulder made it look like it had been formed over a long, long time, yet Long Yue said she had created it with her fists.

Does the Martial Realm mean using power at this level? Long Chen was speechless.

Then, following her instructions, he entered the deep indentation in the boulder. With her control, the medicinal fluid she had prepared flowed into the indentation and immersed him. The essence within the medicine seeped into his body, bringing him great comfort.

Then Long Yue let him consume the Snow Heart Lotus.

This must be what she meant by internal and external treatment. With the King-tier Snow Heart Lotus inside and precious medicinal fluid outside, the damage sustained due to the third stage of Blood Sacrifice would heal in three days and three nights.

When everything was done, Long Yue gave him some reminders, then she left.

Bathing in the spiritual medicine, he felt his body slowly heal. He heaved a sigh of relief and finally started to think about his current situation.

I managed to survive and even received the Emperor Flame Pearl. Although the journey was filled with tribulations, the results were the same as what I previously expected. Now that I have left the Ancient Demon Domain, I’ll formulate a new plan after I have reached the Ninth Passage Stage in nine days’ time.

With a goal set, he felt his mind clear up.

It looks like I’ll still need to follow them for a while. It might be very difficult to reach the Martial Realm if I try to figure it out on my own, and Long Yue clearly plans to teach me. The Divine Martial Empire is the Martial Alliance’s turf, and I can tell that the Martial Alliance exerts strict control over their land. If I go out on my own, there will surely be informants and I might even die without knowing how it happened. It’s good to be with them anyway. At least I will stay alive, and they are indeed a bunch of interesting people …
