Chapter 273 (2/2)

Long Chen had thought that maybe Chu Yao had rubbed off on Tang Wan-er, mellowing out her fierce temperament .

But now he remembered a certain phrase: you could change a world, but you couldn’t change a woman’s nature .

However, to tell the truth, Long Chen preferred this Tang Wan-er . This fiery Tang Wan-er was the real Tang Wan-er .

“What are you smiling about?!” raged Tang Wan-er .

But after she said that, she realized that the two of them were intimately close together now . In fact, she was practically pressing her body into him . She could feel Long Chen’s pulse, and she could smell that particular male scent from his body .

Tang Wan-er blushed, but she still tightly clenched his collar . “Speak . Do you admit your wrongs?”

“I was wrong . ”

“How were you wrong?”

“I was wrong in everything . ”

“Give me some specifics . ”

“I have made many mistakes . But I know my greatest mistake was that I misunderstood the beautiful sister Wan-er . Sister Wan-er is a kind, warm, gentle, virtuous, smart, refined and elegant woman . ” As he spoke, Long Chen also took out a short rod from his spatial ring and placed it on his head, pointing it straight up at the sky .

Tang Wan-er was almost laughing at what he was saying, but then seeing his odd movements, she curiously asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’m just being a lightning rod . ” Long Chen looked up at the sky gravely .

Tang Wan-er didn’t immediately understand what he meant, but then looking up at cloudless sky, she frowned .

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“According to my elders, if I lie, I’ll be struck by lightning,” said Long Chen solemnly .

Tang Wan-er quickly understood what he was talking about, and she raged, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you were playing me!”

Long Chen laughed, twisted out of her grasp, and quickly fled .

“Stop right there!”

Tang Wan-er shot off in hot pursuit . Wilde and Little Snow looked at each other expressionlessly, and simply silently followed behind them .

…

When Long Chen and Tang Wan-er returned to the monastery, a huge commotion erupted . Whether it was the new disciples or the old disciples, they all gathered to greet them .

In this battle between the Righteous and Corrupt paths, the Xuantian Monastery’s fame had soared . Long Chen had led the Righteous disciples to slaughter Corrupt disciples that had been several times their number, practically creating a legend .

By himself, he had managed to kill a Favored, an eight-tempered Bone Forging Elder, and cut off the leg of a once-in-a-thousand-year genius .

Long Chen had practically become a legendary person to them . And that legendary person had been amongst them, leading them to fight a real battle .

That battle had let all the disciples understand just what was true strength and just what was a true battle .

On the battlefield, Long Chen had led these disciples to be able to face death without fear and kill those Corrupt disciples . That scene of him leading them was forever imprinted in their hearts .

Ye Zhiqiu, Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, and the other core disciples also came . Senior apprentice-brother Wan also brought the law enforcers to greet Long Chen .

Looking at senior apprentice-brother Wan, Long Chen couldn’t help exclaming, “Bone Forging realm!”

Senior apprentice-brother Wan’s aura was surging out with a powerful pressure . That kind of pressure was something only achievable after reaching the Bone Forging realm .

“Hahaha, it’s all just luck . ” Senior apprentice-brother Wan smiled .

He had originally been at the peak of Tendon Transformation . With his talent, he would have needed at least three to five years to break through to Bone Forging .

But in truth, it would have been normal for him to still be unable to break through even after ten years . That was because as your realm increased, the stronger the bottlenecks would become, making it increasingly difficult to break through .

However, after experiencing that huge battle, after forgetting about the fear of death to go all-out killing his enemies, by discarding all his fear and misgivings, his bottleneck had loosened a great deal .

Just the second day after he returned to the monastery, he had succeeded in advancing to the Bone Forging realm . Of the senior apprentice-brothers left behind in the monastery, he was the first to advance to Bone Forging .

“Hehe, congratulations senior apprentice-brother Wan . Wait, no, it should be congratulations Elder Wan!” Long Chen laughed .

According to the monastery’s rules, when a law enforcer advanced to Bone Forging, they would automatically be promoted to Elder and receive the corresponding benefits .

“Long Chen, don’t make fun of me . Aren’t you afraid of me making life hard for you?” joked senior apprentice-brother Wan .

As everyone greeted Long Chen excitedly, he saw that almost everyone’s auras had climbed a great deal now . Quite a few people had advanced .

And those who hadn’t advanced yet all had unstable auras . That was a sign they might advance at any moment .

“Long Chen, when are you going to bring us out like that again? f.u.c.k, last time really was satisfying,” said Gu Yang excitedly .

Long Chen laughed . He was about to reply when an Elder suddenly walked over and told Long Chen:

“The sect leader is looking for you . ”
