Chapter 203 - Azure Dragon Patriarch
After returning to the Eastern Azure Dragon compound, Long Chen didn’t leave again. The Azure Dragon Halberd tournament would take place tomorrow, and he had achieved breakthroughs in many aspects. This one day was a rare chance for him to rest, spending his time chatting with Ling Xi and Yin Mengyao.
“I can’t believe you made a breakthrough right before the tournament. Long Chen, you’re doing much better than I am. So far, I’ve only been able to cultivate the rudimentary form of the Flowing Water Body.” There was a hint of resignation in Yin Mengyao’s tone. She felt pressured spending time with him.
Long Chen smiled. Looking at her, he suddenly thought of Yang Lingqing and asked, “Sister Mengyao, did that Dongfang Tianxing guy pester you again?”
“That bastard ...” She furrowed her eyebrows thinking about him and complained angrily, “He has teased me many times, just because he is stronger than I am. If I hadn’t used Stepfather’s name like you did, it would have been ...”
“Is that so?” His eyes glinted coldly. Dongfang Tianyu, Dongfang Tianxing, and Beitang Mo were all his enemies. “Whatever, I’ll deal with them one by one. Tomorrow, it’ll be Dongfang Tianyu’s turn!”
At dawn the next day, Long Chen followed Dongfang Xuanxiao and Yin Mengyao to the Xuanfeng Pavilion. It was already filled with people.
Everyone present was powerful, many being above the Heavenly Core Realm. The most attention-grabbing individual was an old man with white hair but a youthful face and a thin figure. His gaze was hawk-like, and his aura felt like a sharp, unsheathed sword. His white hair shone like silver needles and evoked fear any the onlooker.
Looking at this man, Long Chen felt like a large mountain was standing in front of him, making him feel suffocated.
He knew that this was the Eastern Azure Dragon family’s Patriarch, the legendary Heavenly River Realm master who had surpassed the Divine Core Realm. He was the Azure Dragon Patriarch! There was a flying, coiled Azure Dragon embroidered on his clothes. “Patriarch!” Even Dongfang Xuanxiao bowed slightly to the old man upon arriving.
“Since everyone is here, let’s go to the ancestral mausoleum.” The Patriarch’s voice was much hoarser than Long Chen expected. His expression was cold, obviously a person who should not be angered.
The Azure Dragon tournament was going to be held in the ancestral mausoleum. Dongfang Xuanxiao had told Long Chen this yesterday, and the rules were simple: all of the youths of the younger generation would participate, other than Dongfang Tianchen, Dongfang Tianxuan, and Dongfang Tianxing, who had already received the right to the Azure Dragon Halberd. Of course, the strongest participant was Dongfang Tianyu!
The mausoleum was where the ultimate divine weapon, the Earth-tier Azure Dragon Halberd, was located. Along the way to it, there was a large, underground space where the clan had placed more than a thousand molten gold puppets. As long as the participants collected a hundred molten gold cores, they could rush towards the Azure Dragon Halberd. Of course, they could also fight each other during the process!
The molten gold puppets were the newest, strongest puppets within the Lingwu family, much stronger than the wooden and steel ones. When Long Chen heard the name, it reminded him of Jin Sheng’en’s Molten Gold Combat Body. Since they had the same name, he surmised that they wouldn’t be too far from the advanced Black-tier Body Tempering technique in terms of hardiness.
“It looks like the pinnacle of the Lingwu youths is the mid Heavenly Core Realm. Mo Xiaolang must have also been at this level at the time, though with the Heavenly Wolf Dagger, perhaps he was stronger!” Long Chen only now understood that Mo Xiaolang, whom he had first met in Baiyang Town, was much more non-humanly talented than himself. But today, Long Chen was very close to that level too.
“Hey, isn’t that Long Chen? The guy who was crippled? I can’t believe you’re here to participate in the tournament. I’m impressed,” said an amused voice. Long Chen turned around and saw Dongfang Tianyu leading his group of younger siblings and cousins, looking at him in contempt.
Dongfang Tianyu wasn’t the oldest among them, but he was the strongest. Quite a few of them were at the mid Earthly Core Realm, and more than ten at the initial Earthly Core Realm. These were all the people who would participate in the tournament.
“There’ll be many more things that will impress you,” said Long Chen mildly before proceeding to ignore him.
“Then I shall look forward to your performance! Don’t you dare pee yourself and start crying for mommy because of the puppets! At least wait until I get to you!” Dongfang Tianyu laughed, and the teenagers behind him laughed as well.
“Silence!” The prayer had just ended, and the second child, Dongfang Xuanyu, walked over and gently reprimanded them. Dongfang Tianyu and the rest quickly stopped laughing and greeted her obediently. “Aunt Xuanyu!”
Dongfang Xuanyu nodded, then she walked up to Dongfang Tianyu and looked at him lovingly. “Yu’er, you’ve grown so quickly! You’re a man now. Perform well for your Second Aunt today; make me proud after caring for you all these years.”
“Thank you, Second Aunt. I will never forget all that you’ve done for me. Today, I will perform well and get the Azure Dragon Halberd, then I will learn the Azure Dragon martial technique and beat someone out of the Eastern Azure Dragon family!”
“How could you say that?” Dongfang Xuanyu merely glared at him reproachfully after he said such rude things, but she did not reprimand him. Though her expression seemed to indicate that she agreed strongly with him. Then she looked at Long Chen, eyeing him up and down, and said mildly, “You’re healed already?”
“I can’t die as long as you’re still here.” Long Chen didn’t care to be polite to her.
“You!” Dongfang Xuanyu was furious that Long Chen was still being so rude, even at the brink of death. The more she looked at the brat, the more she hated him. “I really don’t know what’s so special about you. You’re still at the initial Earthly Core Realm at this age; there are already so many like you in the Lingwu family. Today, Xuanxiao will see how laughable his choice was. I can’t believe he went up to the Northern Black Tortoise family to cause trouble just for you, even arguing with my father when he came back. And it became physical too! If it wasn’t for him being a capable person himself, do you think he’d be standing here today?”
What? Xuanxiao got into a fight with him? Long Chen didn’t know about this at all. He was just wondering why Dongfang Xuanxiao seemed so fatigued recently. Now he knew that it was because he had fought the Azure Dragon Patriarch because of him.
Long Chen thought about it and felt like it wasn’t too unbelievable. It was already very difficult for the four inner families to maintain a united and peaceful front, and Dongfang Xuanxiao had broken the rules to threaten Beitang Ming in his compound. Wasn’t this overstepping the Azure Dragon Patriarch’s power?
I, Long Chen, must repay him for his kindness no matter what. Long Chen committed this to memory.
The Azure Dragon patriarch turned around and said coldly, “The tournament shall begin soon. Are you all ready?”
