Chapter 3 (2/2)
He formerly presumed he would lead a normal mortal life, but now there is finally hope.
Looking at Poplar Town which was just ahead, Long Chen thought of Long Qinglan’s tasks for him.
“The gathering of the Yang family with all their outstanding disciples… all of them are experts and geniuses. I cannot compete even against Yang Zhan, let alone the rest. My old man wants me to emerge as the champion and obtain the [Seal of the Dragons], this is even harder than ascending to the heavens… All these Dragon Warriors, are they that important?”
Arriving at Poplar Town, it was already late night.
Long Chen did not live together with the Yang family, but bought a room in the East Pavilion, living alone. Since growing up he has picked on many bad people, but none with important ident.i.ty. Therefore even living alone, he has not met with any encounters.
Sticking to his usual routine once reaching home, Long Chen went to bathe and then finally stood before his bed. Suddenly, his cold eyes flashed.
“The bed has been messed up, could it be a thief?”
Long Chen maintained his suspicion and inspected for a while, but could not find anything amiss.
Long Chen laughed dryly and lay on the bed. Many events had occurred today, breaking through two Dragon Veins and entering the second level of Dragon Pulse Realm. Right now his energy is at its peak level, therefore finding it hard for him to fall asleep.
Right now it was after midnight, the time where people should sleep soundly. The newly made pract.i.tioner Long Chen had improved his senses, vaguely aware of someone approaching his room.
He quickly pressed the mechanism switch near his bed, and entered an underground cell. As for the bed, it maintained the same original shape.
Through the small crack of the floorboard, Long Chen peeked up and quietly observed.
Within breaths, two black suit masked men entered his room, and when they saw the bulging blanket that resembled his silhouette, they did not utter a word, and sent a knife slash towards his bed. A sound of bang could be heard as the bed split into two.
“Eh? This useless b.u.m is actually not here? Didn’t we see him entering earlier?”
“He must have discovered our traces and escaped!”
“Hng, even if he escaped today he won’t escape tomorrow. We’ll just come again tomorrow and with our abilities, handling this useless boy, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake?”
The two men hurriedly left.
Although he entered the second level of Dragon Pulse Realm, there were still many people who were much stronger than him. Long Chen did not dare to be careless. The two a.s.sa.s.sins earlier gave off a dangerous vibe, thinking about it the skills they had were not bad. If Long Chen faced them head on, there would not be a good ending.
“Fortunately I’m quick-witted, installing secret mechanisms on my bed. If not tonight my dead body would be lying here”
His gaze held an icy stare.
“In Poplar Town, there actually exist people who will dispatch a.s.sa.s.sins to kill me? Such a small fry like me, is it worth that kind of attention?”
Thinking about it, Long Chen frowned once again. Even going through the list of probable suspects, he was still unable to figure out the mastermind.
The Yang family, while they forsaked him, is still not at the stage to hire experts to kill him.”
“Within this, there should exist a conspiracy that I don’t know of. Oh well, I’ll move back into the Yang family residence tomorrow. Firstly, my safety can be guaranteed. Secondly, I am only at level two of the Dragon Pulse Realm, without any fighting techniques, even if I meet someone from the first level I wouldn’t be able to gain any advantages. Yang family has a Martial Techniques Hall, and right now I am still part of the Yang family, I should still be able to enter.“
“With a good technique, it is possible to increase my attack capabilities by several folds…..”
Back in the past he has seen Yang family members using fighting techniques, and their might was not to be messed with!
In the Yang family residence, Long Chen had a designated place to live in, just that he did not stay there for years. Once the sun had lit the sky, he carried numerous baggages back in the Yang family residence.
The Yang family mansion was extremely s.p.a.cious, so whether Long Chen went back or not, it would not arouse any interest.
When he had finished tidying up his room, Long Chen consolidated his cultivation. After a night, his Qi rose once again, thinking of the near future, he can progress and move towards the 3rd level of the Dragon Pulse Realm.
Of course, the present was important. He had better go to the martial arts hall and obtain a fighting technique.
Yang family’s rule was that as long as a member of the Yang family had entered the 1st level of Dragon Pulse Realm, they are qualified to enter the Martial Arts Hall and choose a fighting technique. And right now, Long Chen had satisfied that criteria.
Along the way, the maids and guards gazed at him coldly. Long Chen had long gotten used to it, these whispers behind his back, he could not care less. His memory aided him well, although he had only seen the Martial Arts Hall once, he was actually able to find the correct route towards it.
The Martial Arts Hall is a forbidden area of the Yang family. Only a member of the Yang family can enter, not to mention even the maids and guards could not go even close to it. Long Chen saw the stone door far ahead within the grove, and there was a tall paG.o.da behind those doors. It was the Martial Arts Hall.
Before he could step near the stone door, his path was already blocked by someone.
It was none other than Chen Liu who spit on Long Chen previously. Chen Liu’s age was similar towards Long Chen’s, and also had a cultivation in the second level of the Dragon Pulse Realm.
Seeing Long Chen had actually come to the Martial Arts Hall, Chen Liu was taken aback. Shortly after, he ridiculed him and said: “ Turns out it is Young Master Chen, why did you have time today to come to the Martial Arts Hall? I heard that a certain trash in the Yang family had gloriously kissed the floor yesterday, but why did Young Master Chen come here today instead of mourning? “
Long Chen naturally understood the sarcasm, but Chen Liu’s speech had brought humiliation to him. Listening to it today, Long Chen felt his rage again. However he was just right in front of the Martial Hall. Before obtaining any techniques, he did not want to create any trouble, so he endured once again and walked around Chen Liu towards the hall.
However Chen Liu continued his hara.s.sment and blocked his path once again. He coldly laughed and said: “ Could it be that Young Master Chen is deaf, and couldn’t hear a word I said? “
“I have already entered the Dragon Pulse Realm. Besides, to enter or not, what has it got to do with an outsider like you?”
Raising his head, he stared at Chen Liu coldly.
Even without any true strength, Long Chen was able to mix around in Poplar Town for years, so his might was definitely there. In addition he had already entered the second level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, so this gaze unexpectedly scared Chen Liu into retreating a step back.
“What? Did I hear wrongly? Entering the Dragon Pulse Realm is not to be entered by claiming you did. However I have time today, so I will witness Young Master Chen’s true strength!“
