Chapter 578 - Warlord Spear Technique

She was finally reunited with Long Chen, so she wouldn’t let him go. She kept grabbing his face with her pudgy hands. “Big Brother! Why didn’t you visit earlier? I was so bored in this house. That old bastard won't let me go out anymore.”

Huangfu Qi glared at Huangfu Fengchen.

Old bastard ...

Long Chen was speechless to see her scolding her father at such a young age.

Huangfu Fengchen ignored her and laughed dryly. He then dedicated a toast to Long Chen.

Long Chen talked with Huangfu Fengchen while he endured Huangfu Qi’s assault on his face. It took some time until she stopped and asked, “Big Brother, where is the dog?”

Huangfu Qi wanted to see Xiaolang badly.

She actually wanted Long Chen to come to her house so that he could show her Xiaolang.

“My dear daughter, haven’t I bought you several thousand dogs? There’s one of every breed. Why do you still want to see another person’s dog?” Huangfu Fengchen was speechless.

“I don’t care. I want Big Brother’s dog,” Huangfu Qi snarled.

Long Chen and Huangfu Fengchen smiled bitterly.

Huangfu Qi was indeed a courageous young girl.

Huangfu Fengchen waved his hands and called for Huangfu Song. “Go and prepare some entertainment. I will be drinking with Long Chen.”

Huangfu Song left quickly. After some time, as Long Chen and Huangfu Fenghcen were conversing, a group of dancers wearing beautiful clothes waltzed in and danced in front of them. There were musicians at the side too.

Huangfu Fengchen’s life was nothing short of entertaining.

One of the dancers was especially good. As she danced, she swept her long sleeves across Long Chen’s face and flashed a devilishly seductive smile.

“Long Chen, what do you think about the dancer?” Huangfu Fengchen chuckled mischievously.

“Beautiful.”

“Hehe. She is actually my brother’s step sister. She will be getting married to my nephew soon.” Huangfu Fengchen laughed.

That was a random fact that didn’t concern Long Chen.

Long Chen took a look at Huangfu Qi and asked, “Qiqi, let me return the fifty thousand Heavenly Passage Pills.” He was getting ready to leave.

“No!” Huangfu Qi refused.

“Why not?”

“I don’t want them! If I take them, you won’t come back. You can’t leave tonight!” Huangfu Qi was adamant.

She grabbed Long Chen’s hands tightly, and there was nothing he could do.

Huangfu Fengchen chimed in. “Long Chen, you took quite some time to get here, so I don’t think staying the night will make much of a difference. Take some time to at least rest up.”

Long Chen considered how well they had treated him and how Huangfu Qi refused to let him go before he agreed. “Very well. I shall heed your words.”

The dancers finished their performance and were preparing to leave when two people entered through the front door. The main dancer, who was the fiancee of Huangfu Fengchen’s nephew, acknowledged the two people, bowed, and left.

Long Chen took a look at them as well.

One of them looked similar to Huangfu Fengchen but was slightly older. There were already wisps of white hair on his head. Following him was a youth roughly the same age as Long Chen. He was also handsome since he was part of a wealthy family. He wore a light-yellow silk brocade and his chin was high. It was clear that he was arrogant.

Even though Long Chen couldn’t see through the other party’s strength, he had a feeling that Huangfu Fengchen’s older brother was at the Second Earthly Martial Stage, while the youth was most likely at the First Earthly Martial Stage.

The youth was as strong as Jiang Wuchang.

Even though he was weak compared to Zhao Danchen, being on par with Jiang Wuchang wasn’t bad at all.

When they approached, Huangfu Fengchen immediately introduced them to Long Chen. “This is my older brother, Huangfu Fengyun. And that is my brother’s son, and also the famous youth in my family, Huangfu Yu.”

Hearing that Huangfu Fengchen was introducing them to a youth, both Huangfu Fengyun and Huangfu Yu looked at Long Chen. They noticed that Long Chen was an expert at the Earthly Martial Realm, and Huangfu Yu squinted with suspicion.

“Patriarch, who is this esteemed man?” Huangfu Fengyun asked.

“This is Long Chen. The very same man that killed the Void Sword Saint and revealed his talent in the Cloud Dream Swamp,” Huangfu Fengchen said with pride as if he was the one who had trained Long Chen.

“Killed the Void Sword Saint?” They had heard the rumor before, but they thought it was just a joke. Many people thought that Jian Chen was the one who had done the most in that battle.

“Esteemed? More like just fishing for fame,” Huangfu Yu whispered, smiling in disdain.

Except for Huangfu Qi, everyone in the room heard that remark. Long Chen paid no mind since he had met a lot of people like Huangfu Yu. The strongest youths were always placed first in the family, so it was natural that they did not think highly of others.

After the introductions, Huangfu Fengyun started to talk about official matters.

“Big Brother, just tell me what’s on your mind.” Huangfu Fengchen was direct.

“It’s like this.” Huangfu Fengyun pushed Huangfu Yu towards the front. “Little Yu has almost finished cultivating the Warlord Spear Technique. He’s very talented, so I think it’s time for him to learn the Willow Step.”

The Warlord Spear Technique and the Willow Step were the two ultimate techniques of the Huangfu family. An attacking technique and a body combat technique. They were the perfect pair that could take advantage of each other’s strong points.

The Warlord Spear Technique is an intermediate King-tier martial technique, and Huangfu Yu is almost done cultivating it.

Long Chen was surprised by how strong Huangfu Yu was.

He looked at Huangfu Fengchen to see what kind of decision would be made.

He knew a bit about the Huangfu family. The position of patriarch should have been inherited by Huangfu Fengyun, but Huangfu Fengchen had grown strong too fast. In the end, he was conferred the position of patriarch. Even though the two of them didn’t show it outright, there was some resentment between them.

Huangfu Fengyun sired a lot of children, but Huangfu Fengchen only had a daughter. Huangfu Qi was only ten years old and was a girl, so the next patriarch would definitely be Huangfu Yu.

But with Huangfu Fengchen’s attitude, it was clear that he didn’t care about being the patriarch.

Huangfu Fengchen listened to his brother and looked at Huangfu Yu. “Little Yu, there are three stages to the Warlord Spear Technique. Which stage are you on now?”

Huangfu Yu said with pride, “Patriarch, I’ve completed the first stage and will be finished with the second stage soon.”

Huangfu Fengchen frowned. “Your cultivation is not complete. It’s still too early to learn the Willow Step. You should talk to me again once you finish the third stage or reach the Second Earthly Martial Stage.”

Huangfu Fengyun did not comply when he heard that. “Patriarch, it’s not that simple to cultivate the third stage of the Warlord Spear Technique or even reach the Second Earthly Martial Stage. Doesn’t that mean that Little Yu might not even get to start cultivating the Willow Step in ten years?”

“If that’s the case, then his talent is too weak. You should know that cultivating the Willow Step will only impede his progress if he has too many things on his plate to cultivate,” Huangfu Fengchen explained sincerely.

“Are you afraid that Qiqi will never catch up to me?” Huangfu Yu asked in a weirdly provocative tone.

Huangfu Fengchen smiled. “Little Yu, even though your cultivation is lagging behind, you are getting more and more prideful. You are confined in the safety of the Huangfu family and don’t know how strong the people outside are. There are many people who are stronger than you.”

“Many? You mean like Long Chen, who killed the Void Sword Saint?” Huangfu Yu pointed at Long Chen and looked at him with disdain.

Huangfu Yu had been pampered since young. Even though he was as strong as Jiang Wushang, his mind was weak.

Huangfu Fengchen smiled when he saw that Huangfu Yu was trying to provoke Long Chen. “Fine. I have to make you understand your folly today. If you defeat Long Chen, I will give you the Willow Step.”

Without waiting for Huangfu Yu to agree, Huangfu Fengchen looked at Long Chen and said, “I helped you advance into the Earthly Martial Realm, so could you consider doing this for me?”

Long Chen understood that if he didn’t show them how strong he was, Huangfu Fengyun and Huangfu Yu would not stop. Long Chen owed Huangfu Fengchen a favor, and it was also a good chance to test his strength at the Earthly Martial Realm. “Of course. But I don’t know if Young Master Huangfu Yu would want me to be his opponent.”

Huangfu Yu looked at Long Chen and rolled his eyes. “Patriarch, you want me to fight him? Just say it and don’t waste any more time.”

Huangfu Yu was arrogant beyond measure.

Long Chen stood up and decided to not transform to fight against Huangfu Yu. He wanted to test his strength after all.

Seeing that they were ready, Huangfu Fengyun stood to the side.

“Son, show them your Warlord Spear Technique. Don’t be careless.”

“I know, I know. Don’t start nagging again. You are also annoying even though you are so old,” Huangfu Yu said lazily. Then he pulled a glimmering gold spear from his Universe Pouch and focused on Long Chen.

The spear appeared to have been forged from gold, but its strength was far beyond that. The spear was engraved beautifully, and the tip was dangerously sharp.

“Elementary King-tier Divine Arm, Golden Warlord Spear.”
