Chapter 158 (2/2)

Long Chen shook his head . That flame blade immediately turned to become a fist-sized ball . That flame ball quickly grew larger, becoming a meter in diameter . Terrifying heat waves constantly roasted the air .

This large flame ball then began to quickly circulate within Long Chen’s hand, the terrifying energy within it simply bouncing around .

“What powerful Spiritual Strength!” Tang Wan-er was shocked . She hadn’t thought Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was so great that it was like a boundless ocean . If it hadn’t been powerful enough, compressing his flame into such a ball would have definitely caused an explosion .

The ball of flame then faded away . Long Chen dejectedly shook his head .

He wanted to see if he could condense a glyph like Tang Wan-er, but he had failed . Although he had copied her circulation method, he was unable to condense those lines .

“Long Chen, there’s nothing you can do about this . First of all, your flame’s level isn’t high . Second of all, that isn’t your Core Flame . It is impossible for it to condense a glyph .

“That glyph is deeply imprinted into my bloodline . Even if outsiders copy the technique, it’s completely useless . It’s as if you copied how to cook a recipe but then realized you didn’t even have a pan to cook with . It’s futile,” consoled Tang Wan-er .

She had seen through Long Chen’s thinking . He had wanted to copy her technique and imitate it with his flame, but Long Chen wasn’t the same as her .

She had immediately seen that his flame was a beast flame and not his original flame . So to summon a glyph was impossible .

Her family’s inheritance stretched back countless years . Powerful experts had come from her ancestors who had somehow added in wind energy into their bloodline . That was how her bloodline inheritance came to possess such power .

“I’ll although I’m still a bit unconvinced, you’re completely correct . Ah, this is just my fate . ” Long Chen smiled bitterly . For an idea to be crushed just like that really was irritating .

Furthermore, he cultivated in the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . The most powerful part of him was his physical body . There was no way he could put his focus on becoming a Pill Cultivator . And so he could only drop this subject .

“Don’t get dejected . There are many techniques within the monastery . As long as you work hard, you’ll definitely be able to find a way to control your flame better,” consoled Tang Wan-er .

“Thank you sister Wan-er for your consolation . But if you give me a hug, I’m sure the wound on my heart will completely disappear,” Long Chen said expectantly .

“Ugh, scram!” Tang Wan-er immediately scolded Long Chen .

She even scolded herself for being stupid enough to worry about a shameless fool like Long Chen .

Long Chen laughed . Teasing a beauty allieved a great deal of his dejection .

Although it was impossible for him to condense a glyph, by following Tang Wan-er’s controlling method, he could still increase his Pill Flame’s power by a bit . That was at least something .

Furthermore, Long Chen wasn’t really discouraged . His current beast flame was from a Flame Leopard . That was just a second rank Magical Beast and wasn’t that powerful .

Once he refined the Flame Salamander’s Neidan, his beast flame would be completely upgraded . At that time if he tried again, it wasn’t sure that he would still fail .

Collecting his thoughts, he asked them why they had suddenly formed an alliance .

Tang Wan-er told Long Chen that once they entered the monastery, the resources they would offer them were limited . If they wanted to obtain more resources, that would require them to win struggles against others .

This struggle relied on power . In accordance to the monastery’s rules, the monastery would not care how you struggled for your resources .

So once you entered the monastery, the struggle and compet.i.tion became exceptionally intense . Cultivation was a cruel world . If you didn’t step over others, you would end up stepped on by others . That was a reality that was unavoidable .

Tang Wan-er had been the first to arrive at the Profound Spirit Fruit . But at that time it hadn’t ripened yet and so she could only wait . The second to arrive had been Lei Qianshang .

The two of them had directly begun to fight . With Lei Qianshang’s temperament, having suffered a previous loss to her, he had wanted to get revenge . At the same time he wanted to prove his strength to Tang Wan-er .

As they fought, everyone else had gathered . Tang Wan-er had been the one to propose an alliance with Ye Zhiqiu . Their alliance would be one in which they would help each other attack and defend during battles . And Ye Zhiqiu had a.s.sented .

After all, the compet.i.tion would only become more intense in the future . As an icy person, it was difficult for Ye Zhiqiu to get close to others . She was only slightly closer to Tang Wan-er . Naturally she wouldn’t refuse . That was how the two of them had joined hands against the other three .

At that time, Yue Zifeng had been the last to arrive . By the time he had, Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin had already begun working hand in hand .

As for Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu, they didn’t really want to form an alliance with Yue Zifeng . Thus Yue Zifeng was pulled into Lei Qianshang’s group .

But Tang Wan-er also said that Yue Zifeng was an extremely proud person . Although he had temporarily joined their group, he hadn’t used his full strength when fighting . Otherwise they would have found it extremely difficult to endure .

Long Chen recalled how Yue Zifeng had left completely calmly and freely . That truly was the manner of an expert . That was a great difference from Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin .

Only those with broader hearts who could accept both wins and losses could walk further on the martial path .

At the same time, Tang Wan-er and Ye Zhiqiu solemnly warned him that he had to be careful of Lei Qianshang and Qi Xin . The both of them were already completely filled with hate towards Long Chen .

Although they probably wouldn’t dare to kill him, if they had the chance they would definitely heavily injure him, maybe even crippling him . That was because the monastery’s rules were not completely perfect and there were still loopholes .

Otherwise Long Chen also wouldn’t have been able to get away with killing Zhao Wu as if nothing had happened .

The monastery’s rules were mostly favorable for the stronger side . Losers would only be able to go off and cry by themselves about their own lack of power . That was the cruelty within the monastery .

After they had pretty much eaten their fill, Tang Wan-er said, “Let’s go to the final trial location . Since there’s not that much time left, let’s just stay together . ”

Long Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse such an alluring proposal . With two beauties beside him, who knew just how many people would die of envy along their journey .
