Chapter 115 - Devil Sun Collision

“What? An intermediate Black-tier Combat Technique!”

Chu Yunyao covered her mouth in astonishment, while Liu Ling was left stunned.

She knew how powerful Feng Wutian was, but when had Long Chen become this powerful?

As a whole, everything that had happened today felt like a dream to her.

Before everyone’s shocked gazes, Long Chen unleashed the Devil Sun Collision, which was the more powerful technique of the Burning Devil Sun Fist. It fought valiantly against Feng Wutian’s Fire Bird Transformation. These two were both parties’ most powerful techniques, which were unleashed while both of them were in their most powerful forms. The onlookers were shocked.

The Burning Devil Sun Fist consisted of two techniques, which were the Blazing Flame and the Devil Sun Collision, and the latter was much stronger. In fact, it was stronger than the intermediate Black-tier Fire Bird Transformation Feng Wutian had used during his Vermillion Bird Immolation!

Long Chen did not hold back this time—he fully unleashed his most powerful technique. He had just acquired the Blazing Thunder Combat Body and had Dragon Soul Qi hidden within his Blazing Thunder Power. Even the Nine Heavens Dragon Step boosted the power of the Devil Sun Collision. In the beginning, the Devil Sun Collision looked like it could barely force a draw against the Fire Bird Transformation, but when they both collided, its resilience and strength were suddenly unleashed!

It was as if the sun in the sky had crashed into the ground. The Fire Bird Transformation had just lifted its head when it was shattered into pieces by the Devil Sun Collision!

A deafening explosion echoed across the grounds, and some onlookers couldn’t even keep their eyes open in the face of such piercing light. However, what they did see was that the Devil Sun Collision had defeated the Fire Bird Transformation.

After the defeat, the fierce shockwaves crashed into Feng Wutian’s body. The forceful impact made blood spray out of his mouth, and he was thrown back in the air. When he crashed, his body was burned black and he was barely conscious!

Long Chen, on the other hand, landed firmly and steadily.

The battle had ended. The crowd stared at the teenager in a daze, leaving the clearing in complete silence.

Chu Yunyao didn’t know how to react. She had initially thought to let Long Chen wear Feng Wutian out for a while, but he had come out on top. Feng Wutian had unleashed his most powerful attack, yet Long Chen had claimed an easy victory ...

“Is this a joke ...”

Chu Yunyao stared woodenly at Long Chen.

Liu Lan was in even more shock.

She had always maintained a goddess-like presence in front of others. Every move, every smile from Liu Lan was always filled with femininity. But right now, she was in a daze, her mouth was agape, and her eyes were filled with shock.

Long Chen’s face grew clearer and clearer in her mind’s eye.

She had always felt like he was an interesting person, though that notion eventually turned into contempt. Now, his performance was like a punch to her gut! “Who is he ...”

Liu Lan took a deep breath, heaving greatly, then she shook her head and couldn’t hold back a bitter smile.

She had embarrassed herself big time because before this training exercise started, she had personally said that Long Chen had a ninety percent chance to die in the Heavenly Martial Realm. She had never expected for him to defeat Feng Wutian, the disciple whom she had trained for several years, one that she was very proud of.

No one would believe what had just happened if they didn’t witness it personally.

“Brother Wutian ...”

Liu Ling came to her senses after recovering from the infinite shock. Her heart broke when she saw that Feng Wutian was injured, not even sure if he was alive. She took a step forward and then sprinted hysterically towards him.

The rest of the Turquoise Sun Hall disciples slowly recovered from their shock and ran after her.

At this point, Feng Wutian was completely unconscious. Liu Ling held him in her arms frantically, then someone took out some spiritual medicine to be fed to him.

But at this point, his clothes were tattered and his face was burnt black. Even his hair had been singed, leaving behind nothing but ugly patches. He was far from the handsome man he once was.

This was Liu Ling’s first time seeing Feng Wutian in such a tragic state, and all of this was Long Chen’s fault. However, she found that she didn’t have it in her to hate Long Chen.

Today was the day that Long Chen’s name truly spread across the Turquoise family.

Once news of what happened spread, Long Chen would instantly become famous, and his name would even spread to other families!

“Administrator Liu, do your best to nurture the potential in Long Chen. He might be able to participate in the qualifiers for the inner family ...” someone whispered in Liu Lan’s ear. She seemed to agree, though after some thought, she shook her head with a bitter smile.

“The conditions for participating in the inner family’s qualifiers are very strict. Long Chen still can’t meet them.”

“That’s true. But Yunyao’s older brother, Yunxi, should be going to the next inner family qualifiers. It’s the Eastern Azure Dragon family’s turn this time, right?”

Liu Lan nodded. That name gave her a headache.

Chu Yunxi was Chu Yunyao’s older brother. He was only eighteen this year, but he had already been at the Earthly Core Realm for more than a year. He had recently attained the mid Earthly Core Realm.

When he first reached the Earthly Core Realm a year ago, he was called the number one prodigy in the Turquoise family. It was best to maintain a good relationship with a person like that, but what gave Liu Lan a headache was that the brat was interested in her romantically. He had even made a declaration that she was the only woman he would ever marry.

Father has already made the preparations to agree to the marriage proposal sent by the Turquoise Imperial Hall. Will I really have to marry that brat? Will I soon become someone’s wife?

Liu Lan was averse to the idea. She’d been handling matters in Turquoise Sun Hall since young, and it had shaped her personality to handle everything with flair and power. She was very unwilling to give up everything she had now. But she knew that she wasn’t young anymore, and at this point, she was almost ready to accept fate.

The events that unfolded next woke Liu Lan from her worries.

Long Chen had defeated Feng Wutian but stopped at the very end and didn’t kill him. Thanks to the care of other Turquoise Sun Hall members, he would live, but he wouldn’t regain consciousness for the moment.

The Feng Wutian incident had come to a close, and now the most important matter was the ownership of the Supreme Purity Sword. After that terrifying display of strength from Long Chen, the other late Human Core Realm cultivators looked at each other, not daring to attack.

Except for Chu Yunyao.

She had to take the Supreme Purity Sword home today at any cost, and she would never give up just because of a dark horse like Long Chen.

That attack he used must’ve exhausted a lot of his strength. I’m stronger than Feng Wutian, so the Supreme Purity Sword will belong to me ...

With that thought, Chu Yuan walked up to Long Chen without a word, gazing at him coolly.

The Heart Eater, which was struggling at the brink of death, remained between both of them.

Now that there was going to be another exciting show, all eyes were glued to them.

Looking at Long Chen, she said, “You defeated Feng Wutian—an admirable feat. However, I’m now asking you to let me take the Supreme Purity Sword. I see that you don’t use a sword, so I think the Supreme Purity Sword will be useless to you anyway.”

Long Chen smiled. “What a strange thing to say! Do you mean that I can’t take the sword just because I don’t use a sword? I can get a lot of money if I sell it.”

When Chu Yunyao saw that Long Chen had no intention of backing down even after such a direct request, she was slightly irritated.

However, she had witnessed his might and didn’t want to attack unless absolutely necessary.

She glared at him darkly, her mind racing for a way to beat Long Chen without using a weapon. Very soon, a person appeared in her mind. She smiled sweetly and said, “Say, do you know of Dongfang Tianyu? We’re very close. If you let me have the Supreme Clarity Sword, he might be able to offer you some advice in the future.”

“Dongfang Tianyu? Haven’t heard of him. Hey, you don’t have to convince me. Aren’t we supposed to compete for the sword through battle? If you want it ... a duel will reveal the true winner. Don’t worry, I don’t hurt girls ...”

Although that was what Long Chen had said, he was actually worried.

The Lingwu family consisted of nine outer families and four inner families. The outer families were Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Blue, Violet, Silver, and Gold while the four inner families were the Eastern Azure Dragon, Southern Vermillion Bird, Western White Tiger, and Northern Black Tortoise families.[1]

The Azure Dragon family members took on the Dongfang surname, so this Dongfang Tianyu person she had mentioned was obviously part of the Azure Dragon family.

When Chu Yunyao saw that Long Chen still hadn’t made the smart decision to back off, she didn’t get angry. Instead, she smiled. “I don’t want to resort to fighting, as that will just sour our relationship. Yet you think I’m afraid of you ... Fine, seeing as you’re not giving up, I’ll show you how big the gap between the Turquoise Imperial Hall and the Turquoise Sun Hall is!

“Oh?”

Long Chen made a show of surprise, even with a hint of confusion, then he laughed heartily. “Hey, girl, you’re very good with words! I’m sure you’re very good with your mouth ... Why don’t you let me try it out someday?”

When he first said that, Chu Yunyao didn’t understand its underlying implication at all, so she was first confused, then that sentiment turned into killing intent.

But the ones who understood all turned dark red. They were completely floored by Long Chen’s boldness.

Even Liu Lan was gritting her teeth, blushing.

I can’t believe this brat has the guts to tease the girl that Dongfang Tianyu likes so casually!

He won’t live very long with a personality like that!

There was a sudden gust of wind. A young man clad in white brocade robes embroidered with an azure dragon appeared next to Chu Yunyao.

The man’s face was strangely clean and fair, and he exuded an air of elegance. He was a rare, gorgeous specimen.

He smiled while looking at Chu Yunyao, then he said, “Yao’er, why do you look so glum? Did someone bully you? Tell me who upset you. I, your brother Tianyu, will settle it for you ...”

[南宫]朱雀 (南宫Nangong – Southern; 朱雀Vermillion Bird);

[西门]白虎 (西门Ximen – Western; 白虎White Tiger)
