Chapter 114 - Vermillion Bird Mark
Long Chen didn’t know Liu Lan was watching him.
His aura has become denser. He must be at the mid Human Core Realm at least ...
It took Long Chen less than a month to advance from the Eighth Draconic Stage to the mid Human Core Realm. No matter what the outcome of the battle was, Liu Lan would take extra special care of Long Chen going forward.
If I can raise him properly and let his inner talent blossom, he might be able to surpass Feng Wutian.
Liu Lan nodded in approval as she stared at Long Che.
At the same time, Long Chen and Feng Wutian clashed once more.
Everyone was shocked to see Long Chen used his raw physical strength to repel Feng Wutian’s attack and push him away. He was pushing Feng Wutian away from Liu Ling so she wouldn’t get hurt in the process.
Liu Ling naturally realized what he was doing. Her eyes started tearing up again. She thought about Long Chen and realized that he wasn’t too bad, it was just that she hated him due to Feng Wutian’s grudge against him.
“Peak Human Core Realm ...”
Long Chen roughly knew how strong Feng Wutian was after that clash.
The amount of Qi Feng Wutian had access to was very close to the Earthly Core Realm, granting him at least ten times more Qi than those one stage lower. Long Chen’s Qi, however, was ten times more powerful, and with the addition of the Blazing Thunder Crystals, his Qi was nowhere near as weak as it was before.
There was even a thin layer of red fire and lightning covering his body.
I have an intermediate Black-tier martial technique and the Blazing Thunder Combat Body. These are my strengths, but I wonder what technique Feng Wutian has yet to reveal? Even Chu Yunyao has an intermediate Black-tier sword technique ...
Long Chen prepared the Primordial Dragon Seal and clashed once more with Feng Wutian. The shockwave this time was even larger!
Feng Wutian finally recognized Long Chen’s strength and used the Fire Spirit Seal once more!
The two seal techniques collided in the air. Even though the Fire Spirit Seal was an elementary Black-tier martial technique and the Primordial Dragon Seal was a weaker advanced Yellow-tier technique, Long Chen’s body was much stronger! Both of them flew backwards from the explosion.
“How is this possible?”
When Chu Yunyao saw Long Chen use an advanced Yellow-tier technique to block Feng Wutian’s intermediate Black-tier technique, she was shocked and finally took Long Chen seriously. Even she herself would not dare to block Feng Wutian directly!
That man ... Has he been waiting at the sidelines for a chance to reap all the rewards when the time was right?
Chu Yunyao’s eyes turned hostile at this point.
Luckily, I was smart enough to make Feng Wutian get hit by the Heart Eater Magic. If I had fought him until both of us were exhausted, he might’ve been able to execute his plan.
It was only now that everyone realized that Long Chen was the third elite cultivator on the same level as Feng Wutian and Chu Yunyao.
But since Long Chen hasn't attained the peak Human Core Realm, some of them had underestimated him, including Liu Ling.
She had watched Long Chen run away hurriedly before, but now he was repelling Feng Wutian’s attacks. Still, the gap in cultivation levels was quite large.
“Senior Wutian ...”
Even now, Liu Ling was hoping Feng Wutian would wake up and become her prince charming once more.
As for Long Chen, he found out that he never hated Liu Ling that much, but he still didn’t like her.
Liu Lan, however, was extremely surprised to see Long Chen repel Feng Wutian’s Fire Spirit Seal with the Primordial Dragon Seal. She rubbed her eyes and confirmed that it was indeed the case, and her heart started beating faster.
How did he improve so much ...
The others were somewhat speechless too.
“The two youths from the Turquoise Sun Hall are too talented. Feng Wutian was given a four-star rating for his potential. Long Chen should naturally have the same rating too ...”
Unfortunately, Long Chen could not hear their conversation.
He was still wondering what was so special about Feng Wutian when the latter slowly stood up. Feng Wutian’s eyes were very cold.
At the same time, Long Chen suddenly noticed a faint, red mark on Feng Wutian’s forehead. The mark resembled a fire bird.
“That’s ... Is that the Vermillion Bird Mark?”
Long Chen heard the people at the edges of the clearing say that.
That mark should be what Liu Lan emphasized about Feng Wutian’s bloodline ...
He didn’t know anything about bloodlines, but he could feel Feng Wutian’s aura drastically increase in power ever since the mark appeared. Feng Wutian was getting stronger and stronger by the minute!
A blazing fire engulfed Feng Wutian and turned him into a human torch.
“Vermillion Bird Immolation. This is one of the powers from his bloodline. It doubles the output and triples the quality of his Qi. Feng Wutian is now infinitely close to the Earthly Core Realm ...”
Chu Yunyao frowned and shook her head. She was very wary of Vermillion Bird Immolation. If it wasn’t for that technique, how could a disciple from the Turquoise Sun Hall fight against someone from the Turquoise Imperial Hall?
Long Chen didn’t know the name of the technique nor the power of Feng Wutian’s bloodline. All he knew was that Feng Wutian’s Qi had increased both in quantity and quality, and that he was now weaker than his opponent!
Is the power of his bloodline this wondrous?
Long Chen then recalled that his Blood Transmutation and Dragon Soul Transformation were both obtained from the Inherited Blood Essence. Does this mean both the techniques are bloodline techniques? They are extremely powerful techniques ...
He had no time to ponder about it, since Feng Wutian had used Vermillion Bird Immolation. Everyone else was nervous too. If Long Chen failed to intercept Feng Wutian, they might die instead!
Chu Yunyao was surprised by Long Chen’s appearance, but she was also secretly very happy.
“If Long Chen can fight against Feng Wutian and get tired in the process, I will have an easier time later on. Long Chen appearing might turn out to be a good thing ...”
Long Chen dared not look down on Feng Wutian, who was currently engulfed in fire. Feng Wutian roared and ran towards him.
Feng Wutian’s aura was its strongest. The fire flowed around his body and became larger, emanating enough heat to affect everyone near the clearing.
Long Chen felt how much destructive force was contained within the fire.
Just then, all of the fire condensed in front of Feng Wutian and became a large fire bird. The bird's shrill cry made Long Chen’s ears hurt.
“True Vermillion Bird Technique, Fire Bird Transformation!”
Feng Wutian disappeared. The only thing left was a massive fire bird. It flapped its wings and flew towards Long Chen, burning everything in its path into charcoal, including the stones and dirt. The trees were burnt into ashes in an instant.
So even Feng Wutian has an intermediate Black-tier martial technique? No wonder Liu Lan cherishes him and his bloodline so much ...
Liu Ling was so shocked at Feng Wutian’s attack that she cried out. The others nearby thought they would die too. Even Chu Yunyao wasn’t confident that she could block that attack, so shook her head. It will all end soon ...
But Long Chen laughed at the powerful technique.
The Burning Devil Sun Fist, Blazing Flame might not be able to block this attack. Feng Wutian is most likely almost as strong as me at this point. I have one more attack up my sleeve that I haven’t used ever since I learned it ...
When Feng Wutian launched his technique, black light suddenly shot out of Long Chen’s eyes. Everyone saw that Long Chen’s pupils had transformed into two dark suns.
A massive black-and-red energy started swirling around Long Chen, as if he had become a black sun!
He radiated extreme heat, causing everyone to retreat further back and avoid gazing at him as it was too bright.
“What is he doing against the Fire Bird Transformation technique?”
No one knew what he was doing. Long Chen released his technique, and everyone was shocked to sense an equally strong aura coming from him. The aura exploded outwards, sending out waves of heat that filled the air with the smell of burnt wood.
Feng Wutian’s fire was hot, but Long Chen’s black sun was ten times hotter!
Long Chen ran towards Feng Wutian as well. He leapt up, cusped his fists together, and a sphere made of black Qi condensed in his hands. Finally, he fell like a meteorite and crashed towards Feng Wutian!
“Burning Devil Sun Fist, Devil Sun Collision!”
