“it’s the aura of monster-class experts!”
long chen was startled. those auras were incomparably powerful, soaring straight into the clouds. only monster-class experts had such powerful auras.
furthermore, this time the auras were incredibly intense, much more intense than when lei qianshang and tang wan-er had fought.
“i’ve gotta go check it out!” long chen quickled his footsteps, rushing over as quickly as possible. but that place was extremely far, and long chen had to rush for two full hours before getting close.
“no way, it’s this intense?” when he saw the scene before him, he was completely stunned. lei qianshang, qi xin, yue zifeng, tang wan-er, and ye zhiqiu were all present.
and most inconceivable of all, they had actually formed two teams that were crazily fighting the other. their terrifying battle shook the heavens and caused the land to shudder.
they were fighting three against two, as at some unknown point, tang wan-er and ye zhiqiu had formed an alliance to face off against the other three.
lei qianshang, qi xin, and yue zifeng were all fighting with their full strength. thunder and lightning rolled, qi waves surged, and sword qi slashed as they fought against the two women.
this was the first time long chen saw yue zifeng fighting. that longsword in his hand shot out a ray of light that was thirty meters long, cutting apart the sky, whistling through the air, and possessing a terrifying destructive strength.
tang wan-er was surrounded by hundreds of revolving wind blades that were like hundreds of flowers in full bloom, wildly resisting their attacks.
beside tang wan-er was ye zhiqiu. a layer of ice frost covered her palm, and with each wave of her hand, illusory figures would fill the sky.
those illusory figures were all formed from terrifying ice qi. the ice qi released by each of her palms was enough to chill their hearts. even though they were three against two, the three of them were extremely apprehensive about the ice qi and kept their distance.
“five monsters stealthily gathered here to fight. are they fighting for the position of number one?” but he didn’t feel that was likely. examining the surroundings, his gaze suddenly fell towards a distant cave.
“so that’s why...” that cave was a couple dozen meters large. within it was a one meter tall sapling. the sapling had given birth to a fist-sized fruit.
that was the profound spirit fruit[1]. it was no wonder they would be fighting. long chen finally realized the cause of their battle.
the profound spirit fruit was an extraordinarily rare and miraculous treasure. its tree could only bear one fruit once every three years. if the fruit blossom ever withered, the entire tree would immediately die along with it.
but if it bore fruit, then once the fruit matured, the fruit had to be picked within two hour’s time or it would rot away.
this fruit had a heaven-defying effect. that was to allow blood condensation experts to have a high chance to perfectly advance to the tendon transformation realm.
a perfect advancement was the dream of countless martial artists. cultivating was just like building a skyscraper. only if the foundation was sturdy could it be built higher.
normally, only once a spirit root reached the silver grade could there be a chance of a perfect advancement. but that probability was only around thirty percent. seventy percent of those who possessed even silver grade spirit roots were unable to achieve a perfect advancement to tendon transformation.
it was no wonder these monster-class geniuses were fighting so hard. was the reason they had suppressed their cultivation bases also because of this profound spirit fruit?
he then realized the five of them were surprisingly far from the cave. searching for why, he saw a line of words over the cave:
those who damage this tree will die.
that line of words was extremely clear. they were written boldly as a warning.
that one exchange gave everyone a fright. they finally realized a certain fact: long chen had definitely been hiding his true strength.
during that previous attack, qi xin hadn’t been holding back anything. but after receiving it, long chen wasn’t the slightest bit injured.
“this scoundrel! he was actually so strong?!” tang wan-er was also shocked, her heart pounding wildly. he looked possessed by a god of war, disdainfully looking down on all. was he the same long chen as she knew?
shock and fury alternated on qi xin’s face. but hearing his taunt, it was immediately his fury that won over his common sense. the huge blade in his hand once more slashed at long chen.
“wow, i tell you to come and you come. what a good dog!” brandishing his spear, his entire power exploded out. this was the first time long chen had used his full force since arriving here.
after reaching the blood condensation realm, with each advancement he had felt his power rapidly growing. but as for what level he had exactly reached, even he didn’t know.
now facing off against an opponent as strong as qi xin, his entire body’s energy surged out.
boom, boom, boom...!
the two of them fought brutally and directly. in qi xin’s anger, all he wanted was to completely crush long chen into mincemeat and so his attacks had no skill in them whatsoever.
long chen was also like that. holding the spear with both hands, he used it as a club, viciously smashing it around like some barbarian.
while this battle began to intensify, the other battle slowed down. most of the four other monsters’ focus was on this side.
the most shocked would have to be lei qianshang. he knew he had planted a thunderseed in long chen’s body. even if long chen had had tang wan-er’s help, he had thought it would require at least a month’s time to completely expel.
and even if he expelled the thunderseed, his body would still have been ravaged by his thunderforce. that would require an extremely long time to recover from. but seeing how lively long chen was now, he didn’t seem injured at all!
bang!
the two of them fought for a full hour like a wild tempest, not stopping at all.
that was until this final collision. both of them retreated slightly, staring back at the other. both of them were gasping slightly. that fight had truly been too intense.
how delightful! long chen exclaimed inside. he truly was worthy of being a monster-class genius. qi xin’s power went without saying.
“hmph, you’re out of strength now, aren’t you?!” qi xin snorted icily, pointing his water blade at long chen.
“tch, such a relaxing and easy fight, i could easily keep it up for three days and nights. just this much is nothing!” long chen disdainfully boasted.
“hmph, then what are you gasping for?” qi xin of course didn’t believe him.
“idiot, what gasping? this is called a breathing pattern! by quickly breathing, it’s possible to increase the cultivation speed. i wouldn’t expect an idiot like you to understand such a profound cultivation method. even explaining it to you now is useless.” long chen spouted nonsense in a retort.
he had no choice but to admit inside that he was unbearably exhausted. monster-class experts were too powerful, easily capable of killing the secular world’s tendon transformation experts.
“give your bullsheet to someone else! even if i decide not to kill you, i’ll definitely cripple you today!” qi xin roared and charged at long chen.
“your dreams are grand, but unfortunately you’ll never be able to achieve them!” long chen smashed his spear at qi xin. their wild fight once more resumed.
but suddenly an exceptionally sweet scent drifted over. long chen paused; the profound spirit fruit had fully ripened!
