Dragon Blooded War God

Long Chen wanted to help her as her disciple, but he was too weak. He could barely beat someone at the First Divine Martial Stage.

He had no idea how to solve City Lord Ye Xuan’s worries.

Indeed, Long Chen was like the frame of the tower, but he was working towards becoming as dazzling as the tower was during the night.

Damn. Even though I have the True Martial Overlord Soul to increase my cultivation speed, I’m still too slow! I’m too weak!

Underworld City had been taken over by experts. Only the strong got to enjoy the fruits of their labor, while the majority of the people would end up as corpses. Rules and laws were used to control the weak while being repeatedly broken by the strong. Only the truly strong ones could change their lives.

There are twenty more days. If I can reach the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage, I will stand a chance of advancing into the Divine Martial Realm.

Long Chen clenched his fists so hard that his veins popped.

City Lord Ye Xuan gave him a soft smile.

“I can sense that you want to help me and wish for greater power. You are indeed a genius, but you are too young. I’m certain that none of us will be able to defeat you a hundred years from now. You’ve only lost to time.”

Long Chen shook his head. “I don’t want to lose to time.”

City Lord Ye Xuan looked at Long Chen the same way she looked at her brother.

“At first, I was interested in you because you saved my brother twice. You are my brother’s savior. Then you worked hard to become my disciple, and I learned that you have great potential and wanted you to grow with my brother. But now I know that this place, Underworld City, isn’t where you want to stay. You have a great ambition within you.”

Long Chen nodded because Ye Xuan was right.

“We are but leaves meeting briefly in the water, but you’ve not only become my disciple, you also want to help me. In contrast, Su Mo has been with me for a long time, yet he betrayed me in the end. It seems that the world is playing a joke on me.”

City Lord Ye Xuan smiled without any regret. Instead, she seemed to have learned something new.

“We shouldn’t hold back those who intend to leave, and those who stood beside me during my largest crises should be who I must treasure the most. Long Chen, this is what you’ve taught me. Hehe… Say, isn’t it funny that you are the one teaching me when I’m your master?”

“Everyone has something to learn from everyone.”

That was all Long Chen could say. City Lord Ye Xuan was a bit different today, but at the very least, she had let the matter of Su Mo betraying her go.

City Lord Ye Xuan readied herself. “There’s still twenty days before the biggest test of my life. I must be ready.”

Her words gave him a reminder. She was his master, so Long Chen had the right to ask her to teach him.

He made his decision because Ye Xuan was his important friend. “There’s still twenty days. I need some help to reach the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage, and maybe you can push me to get there faster. I will be able to help you once I’ve reached the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage because I have this…”

Long Chen took out the Divine Martial Condensation Pill.

City Lord Ye Xuan's eyes lit up when she saw that. “Are you sure you can reach the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage within twenty days?”

Long Chen can’t tell her about the True Martial Overlord Soul, so he said it in a roundabout way. “I’m just a step away. I think I can break through if I spar against you. I need the threat of death to experience the sensation of breaking through. I think I will have a high chance of advancing within twenty days if you can give me that.” 𝐑ἈℕǑ𝔟Ёʂ

City Lord Ye Xuan nodded with excitement. “Long Chen, if you can reach the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage, then you can use the Divine Martial Soul Condensation Pill to advance into the Divine Martial Realm! I can help you afterwards too!”@@novelbin@@

She was astonished by Long Chen’s ability to kill those at the Divine Martial Realm even though he was only at the Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage. Based on Long Chen’s cultivation speed, City Lord Ye Xuan was certain that Long Chen was the most monstrously talented cultivator that she had ever seen.

Her words gave Long Chen a lot of hope.

His eyes lit up too. “Will you really help me?”

City Lord Ye Xuan pouted. “I’m your master. Would I ever trick you? You said you wanted to spar with me, right? Why don’t you spar against this instead?”

City Lord Ye Xuan extended her slender, white arm. A drop of blood seeped out from the tip of her finger. It splattered on the ground and grew larger until it formed a humanoid shape. A chilling bloodlust emanated from the strange doll of blood.

“This is the Ye family’s unique technique derived from the Seven Killings Blood. We can use our blood to create dolls. This one in particular is at the Second Divine Martial Stage. It can use all of the techniques that I learned at the Second Divine Martial Stage and below. While it’s not perfect since it's just a doll, it should be sufficient for you. I can also teach you more about the Heavenly Martial Stage.”

Long Chen looked at the doll with excitement.

Indeed, even though it was a doll, it was still at the Second Divine Martial Stage. It wouldn’t be an easy foe.

After an hour, Long Chen found himself in the private training room of City Lord Ye Xuan. It was located under the mansion, and only the City Lord could access it. No one could enter without her permission. Long Chen was standing in the middle while City Lord Ye Xuan observed him from the side.

The underground training room was massive and the walls were strong. Long Chen could unleash his techniques without any worries here.

He was currently fighting against the blood doll.

He was horrified to find that the blood doll’s vitality was extremely strong. Even if he cut it in half, the doll would mend itself back together.

City Lord Ye Xuan was controlling the doll using her unique body constitution, the Seven Killings Blood. She utilized all of her understanding of her own martial path and instilled it in the doll’s movements. That was why rather than fighting against a cumbersome doll, Long Chen had a feeling that he was fighting against an experienced cultivator.

“Fluttering Blood Stroke!”

A flash of blood-red light streaked past the doll and decapitated it, but even without its head, the doll’s attacks never stopped. The doll hit Long Chen and sent him flying even though he had transformed.

He was already injured before being hit.

If Ye Xuan wasn’t purposefully lowering the difficulty, the doll would’ve killed Long Chen a long time ago.

Ye Xuan was worried when she saw Long Chen’s injuries. “We should stop for today. Come, let me heal you.”

“No, it’s still too soon.”

Long Chen braced himself up as he staggered up, but he quickly stood strong. His will to fight never wavered and his eyes were resolute.

His heart was yearning for more!

City Lord Ye Xuan was surprised because she sensed that an ancient strength was welling up in Long Chen’s body. His current strength was but a small part of it.

What an unyielding boy.

She had long lost count of how many times the doll had beaten Long Chen down. In fact, there were several occasions where the doll almost killed him, but he managed to avoid a fatal blow altogether.

She thought Long Chen was learning during combat. This was a common phenomenon where many people couldn’t break through by cultivating in a safe space. They only obtained the revelation they needed during actual battle.

But she didn’t know that Long Chen was using the True Martial Overlord Soul to increase his cultivation speed.

The intense training lasted a week. Thanks to the doll, Long Chen’s Martial Soul finally underwent another transformation and turned completely blood-red. A large amount of essence fused with it, and Long Chen obtained even more essence. He was now at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage.

Both Ye Xuan and Long Chen were happy with this outcome.

Even though Long Chen could only use the True Martial Overlord Soul for four hours a day, he never stopped sparring even after the duration was over.

After pouring in so much effort, he finally obtained his reward and reached the stage of the experts.

So this is the strength of the six demons from before… It is indeed much more powerful than when I was only at the first few stages of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Long Chen was happy with his new strength, but it wasn’t enough! He wasn’t satisfied.

He sighed and saw Ye Xuan smiling at him. Long Chen was surprised to see that she was looking at him like a proud mother.

“Ye Xuan …” Long Chen was so excited that he had forgotten to call her “master.”

“Hm?”

“Help me reach the Divine Martial Realm!”

He wondered how strong he would become after he reached the Divine Martial Realm.

He was looking forward to it.

“We need to head to the top of the Seven-Colored Pagoda. It’s the spot closest to the Heavenly Path. We will proceed with the Heavenly Empowerment there.”

Long Chen nodded.

Finally, the moment they had been waiting for was here. Long Chen was trembling with excitement.
