Chapter 14 - Complete Constellation Body

Four days after Long Chen’s injury, Ling Xi woke up. Long Chen counted the days and determined that it would soon be the day of the Family Meeting. “I haven’t succeeded in attaining the Complete Constellation Body, and I’m still at the Fourth Draconic Stage. There’s still a considerable gap between me and Yang Lingyue, who’s at the Sixth Draconic Stage ...”

With his brows tightly furrowed, Long Chen decided to leave as soon as Ling Xi woke up.

It took her four days to wake up.

When she saw that his cultivation had greatly improved, she suggested hurriedly, “Looks like you’ve used the demonic ginseng. You should be strong enough to fight the Constellation Wolf now. There’s not much time till the Family Meeting, we’ve got to head to its cave quickly.”

Long Chen froze. “We’re going back there? But we’ve raided the place.”

“You must not realize that the wolf’s body is the true treasure,” Ling Xi said in a low voice.

“What’s with the whispering? I don’t know what she’s talking about ...”

Despite his confusion, Long Chen chose to trust Ling Xi and they went to the cave. “Xiao Xi, what’s so amazing about the Constellation Wolf? You say it’s good for me?”

“The Constellation Wolf’s fur is special, it can absorb energy from the constellations and grow extremely durable, just like the way a martial artist trains his body. The hide of Constellation Wolves sell for high prices, and they are helpful for your Constellation Body!” Long Chen was stunned by her explanation. The world was full of surprises.

Now that he knew the Constellation Wolf’s hide was useful for his Constellation Body practice, Long Chen knew he had to fight once more. He had to win this time to fulfill Long Qinglan’s wishes.

Long Chen had believed that Ling Xi was only interested in the wolf for her own benefit, and he was surprised to discover that she was actually thinking of him.

Although the girl’s clueless sometimes and has a sharp tongue, she’s actually really kind.

He was willing to give it his all for Ling Xi’s and Long Qinglan’s sake. After advancing to the Fourth Draconic Stage, he had grown several times stronger so he had a better chance of defeating the Constellation Wolf. “Dragon Warrior ... A term I haven’t heard of. What does it mean? Father was a mystery himself, and he took it so seriously ...”

Very soon, they arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Ling Xi said worriedly, “The Constellation Wolf is powerful, it’s at least as strong as you are. If you can’t defeat it, you should definitely run. I was just trying to get one more thing to help you win during the Family Meeting; this isn’t worth dying for.”

Long Chen smiled. “Don’t worry. I know what you mean but I, Long Chen, will not be defeated that easily.”

Long Chen placed the Ling Xi Sword on the ground and said, “Just watch me squash this little beast.” The confidence behind his smile made Ling Xi swoon a little.

Asshole.

She huffed to herself.

Long Chen stood prominently at the mouth of the cave. Two bursts of energy erupted from his body, one from his Incomplete Constellation Body, one from his cultivation at the Fourth Draconic Stage.

The Constellation Wolf inside the cave immediately sensed his presence.

Demonic beasts were extremely territorial. Long Chen deserved to die for trespassing its territory.

The wolf emerged and realized that it was the thief from before. It roared and pounced.

The bloodstains on its chest made Long Chen realize that Ling Xi had hurt it. Perhaps this was why she was willing to let him fight.

However, its speed and power still shocked him. His pupils contracted.

Ling Xi panicked when she saw the powerful wolf. She was deeply worried that her act of kindness would cause more trouble.

“Don’t move! I won’t lose!” Long Chen’s voice rang in her ear. She watched the talented young man battle it out with the wolf and didn’t move a muscle.

“Alright, I believe you.”

She silently cheered Long Chen on.

Long Chen unleashed all the strength he had through his Incomplete Constellation Body. Not only did his defenses increase, but the mysteriously flickering energy of constellations also encircled Long Chen like countless blades. The sharp blades of air would cut any ordinary person who approached him!

Long Chen’s strength increased once more when the newly gained Qi fortified his physical body. Previously, he had been completely defenseless against the Constellation Wolf but now he was strong enough to fight it directly.

Long Chen’s powerful Tiger Fist collided with the Constellation Wolf. Although the wolf was much larger than Long Chen, they were both equal in strength, and the impact of the collision threw them both back. The Constellation Wolf’s attack was so powerful that Long Chen’s arm trembled from the impact, while Long Chen’s Constellation Body made the wolf look like he’d been injured by multiple blades.

Long Chen’s Constellation Body had made tiny cuts to its limbs, which only angered the wolf more. The wolf howled in rage, then readied its limbs. It charged towards Long Chen as demonic power radiated from its skin. It swiped at Long Chen with its paws! “This is an animal’s fighting style. Although it’s intimidating and extremely scary, I’m smarter than you! You can’t beat me with it!”

The Constellation Wolf’s attacks were vicious, every strike potentially fatal. However, Long Chen was not weak either. He was also a vicious person, and he’d only hidden this trait well all his life. This viciousness only surfaced in this battle. Although the wolf was strong, it was retreating with every strike!

The Constellation Body heightened Long Chen’s reactivity in battle. Since the wolf was attacking like a wild beast, he fought back like an animal too.

With the power of a whirlwind, Long Chen kicked the wolf back several inches. Long Chen roared, then launched himself at the Constellation Wolf like a human meteor. “I can finally unleash the true potential of the Meteor Fist now that I’m at the Fourth Draconic Stage. This attack didn’t hurt you previously, but you’ll feel it now!”

“Meteor Fist, destroyer of worlds!”

Boom!

The mighty punch threw the Constellation Wolf against the mountain. Long Chen’s Meteor Fist left a bloody mark on the wolf’s flesh, and a web of cracks appeared on the mountain from the impact!

He threw another punch at the Constellation Wolf, then grabbed its head.

The wolf’s eyes were filled with a bestial rage, but it was already severely injured and no longer had any strength to fight back. Long Chen struck its jaw hard with the Meteor Fist once again and shattered its bones. Shards of bone penetrated into the wolf’s brain, killing it. Its corpse fell to the ground.

When she saw the wolf die, Ling Xi heaved a sigh of relief.

When she noticed that the Constellation Wolf had gotten stronger, she had grown wildly anxious. She knew Long Chen’s abilities well, after all. He had only won because he was more vicious and bestial than his opponent.

“That bastard ... He’s a psycho. He’s so scary when he fights, and he’s always so mean. But he does look good when he smiles ...”

Ling Xi suddenly felt a surge of warmth.

Long Chen had already dragged the gigantic wolf carcass over to Ling Xi’s side. Delighted with himself, he asked, “What’s the matter, girl? Are you swooning from watching my heroic battle?”

Ling Xi’s good impression of Long Chen’s looks turned into instant disgust. “In your dreams! I would never like a toad like you!”

Long Chen snickered, then changed the topic. He looked back at the wolf, frowning worriedly. “Hey, why aren’t you talking? Quick, tell me how to use its hide.”

Ling Xi was excited by the topic. “What else is there to do? Get its fur off, then swallow it and cultivate. That’s all!”

Long Chen froze. He eyed the wolf bitterly and stuttered, “You... you want me to eat the beast’s fur? I need to eat its fur?”

“That’s right, eat the fur ...”

Long Chen groaned and collapsed to the ground.

One hour later.

Long Chen was sitting on the ground. Faint starlight danced on the surface of his skin, growing brighter with each second. His eyes were wide open, shining as if they were stars.

Behind him was the butchered carcass of the Constellation Wolf.

It looked like the victim of a rape and murder.

Ling Xi watched Long Chen in deep cultivation, swooning. She smiled idiotically for a long time until she froze.

What am I thinking? He’s just a weak martial artist from some obscure place. He and I ... can never deepen our relationship. I’ll just repay the favor if he finds a way for me to get my body back.

Long Chen was at an important crossroads in his cultivation. “The damn wolf’s fur is so soft but they feel like blades. I can sense destructive energy surging through me, damaging my body. This energy must be the energy of constellations!”

Forcing himself to work through the pain, he mobilized the secret techniques of the Constellation Body to cultivate past the chaotic energies. After the grueling combination of these two, he came out the other end with a body that was slowly growing stronger.

Long Chen’s stomach churned whenever he thought about his pathetic state just an hour ago. Ling Xi had persuaded him to swallow the disgusting wolf fur, and despite the wretchedness of the situation, he was willing to risk it all just to become stronger.

Forged with the might of constellations, his physical body grew stronger and stronger. Finally, it hit a breakthrough point.

Boom!

A spiral of stars exploded from Long Chen’s body, accompanied by a powerful blast.

Long Chen shot up, feeling the power surging through his body. He could see faint starlight on his skin glinting like blades. A bright light shone from his eyes like stars in the night sky. “So this is the power of the Complete Constellation Body.”

He looked in the direction of Baiyang Town. “Yang family, I’m coming for you ...”
