Chapter 4 (2/2)
“Why is it that he could slap me without questioning the truth, if my strength was greater than his, even with his father protecting him, would he dare to slap me so easily? If only I was stronger than him, it would already have been my turn to slap him! “
This imminent slap was like a fuse, sending waves of pulsating vehemence.
A sound of pa was heard, and Yang Zhan’s arm was caught, only an inch away from Long Chen’s face. The wind pressure from the palm blasted at Long Chen’s face causing him pain.
The one who caught Yang Zhan’s arm was Yang Yuntian. Yang Yuntian sternly said: “Zhan-Er, have you forgotten my teachings. We all are one big family, how can you easily strike, see if I do not punish you when we get back. “
Shortly after he looked at Long Chen and said: “Oh, you finally entered the second level of the Dragon Pulse Realm? With that said, you should be here for the martials techniques, if you want it then go ahead, but my father is there cultivating quietly, if you bother him, you will be punished severely……”
After which, without another look at Long Chen, he grabbed Yang Zhan’s arm and walked away.
Walking several tens of steps away, Yang Zhan finally could not contain himself and asked: “Father, he injured Chen Liu, why did you not allow me to teach him a lesson? With that little ability of his, ten thousand of him would still be no match for me.“
Yang Yuntian indifferently said: “What do you want to show by constantly bullying a cripple, if you have any ability why don’t you challenge your sister, Ling Yue or Yang Wu? Besides he is your aunt’s son, how can you treat him like a slave!”
Yang Zhan gloomily muttered: “The reason is not because of aunt, but only her eighth level of Dragon Pulse Realm ability. Father, give me more time, won’t I be able to reach it as well? “
Looking at their leaving shadows, Long Chen forcefully suppressed his rage within. However the debts of this slap today, and even the beatings and scoldings from before, he had remembered all of them clearly.
“It is still the same line, do not give me a chance, if not you will rather wish to die than live.”
After enduring for so many years, he has long since learned to control his emotions.
Looking at the martial arts hall, Long Chen threw aside any lingering feelings he had, he pushed open the stone door and walked inside.
As for Chen Liu, who was still lying in the same spot, he was only carried away after a long while at the command of Yang Yuntian.
Long Chen walked towards the tall paG.o.da within, raised his head and looked at the steel paG.o.da, and muttered: “My very first martial technique is right here!”
Casting his gaze to the side, there was a wooden hut. The Yang family’s founder, his grandfather, was inside there cultivating. Outsiders usually did not dare to disturb him, and with the founder acting as a guardian, the martial arts hall was absolutely safe. Long Chen had fulfilled the conditions of looking at martial techniques, hence he was able to enter.
“This old man, why is he acting so mysterious, when my father was younger he had already been in the eighth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, only inferior to you by just a little, if he did not have the Dragon Jade, I’m afraid he would already be someone who you would pin your hopes on.“
With this slanderous thought, he stepped into the martial arts hall. After walking through several pathways, Long Chen had arrived at the internal section of the steel tower.
“With my ability at the second level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, it seems that I am only able to practice Huang level martial techniques.”
Yang family had a total of thirty three copies of basic Huang level martial techniques. Long Chen walked to this section of bookshelves, and from the first shelf, he chose a book called [Ferocious Tiger Punch].
Within a minute, Long Chen had placed the book down.
“How it could be, why is this martial technique so easy?“
After looking through these martial techniques, Long Chen felt that his five senses and comprehensive abilities were exceptionally great. He was able to understand completely the information written in the books.
If he could practice inside the martial arts hall, he felt that he could immediately cast these techniques out.
“I am either a martial cultivation genius, or……”
The previous him from before had also looked through some simple techniques, but he had felt that it was difficult to understand. However the situation right now was totally different, so it could only be the effects from the mysterious Dragon Jade.
“This mysterious Dragon Jade is inside my sea of consciousness, allowing my spirit to undergo changes, hence I am able to relax like a newborn baby, reading ten lines at a time, and even have a greater sense of my surroundings……”
“Father, what exactly is this mysterious Dragon Jade, it can actually have such heaven-defying effects, not only could it transfer your cultivation Qi to me, it can even allow me to be a martial cultivation genius.”
Looking through another several bookshelves containing basic Huang martial techniques, Long Chen felt that there wasn’t any challenge at all. Therefore he went towards the intermediate section of Huang martial techniques, and it only contained five techniques. At a glance Long Chen had his eyes on one of the books t.i.tled [Falling Star Fist].
“……Body like a starry night, fist like a meteorite, as heavy as Mt. Tai, as fast as lightning……”
“This [Falling Star Fist] attack capabilities are ranked near the top even among intermediate Huang martial techniques, Yang family’s [Falling Star Fist] also had its own reputation, however according to what I see, it does not have that much difficulty to comprehend. I have already remembered the basic Huang martial techniques, so I will just copy this [Falling Star Fist]……”
Yang family secret techniques obviously could not be brought out of the martial arts hall, so after choosing a technique, one could only copy it.
One hour later, Long Chen had finished copying, and returned the martial technique back to its original position.
“During the process of copying, I have already understood the contents inside, so now I will head out to practice. However, this intermediate Huang martial technique, I do not know if I am able to master it.“
Huang martial techniques, are separated into 3 levels: basic, intermediate and advanced. Every three levels in the Dragon Pulse Realm is usually a.s.signed like this. By choosing an intermediate rank, Long Chen had already crossed the level barriers in cultivation.
[TL Note: Basically this means that levels 1-3 are Basic Dragon Pulse Realm, levels 4-6 are Intermediate Dragon Pulse Realm, and levels 7-9 are Advanced Dragon Pulse Realm.]
“With the uniqueness of the Dragon Jade, I should be able to achieve it. “
Making up his mind, Long Chen walked out of the martial arts hall, and when he neared the stone door, a parched voice rang beside his ears.
“Yang family martial techniques should be destroyed immediately once finished practicing. If one is discovered to divulge the secrets, they will face immediate execution!”
Yang Chen looked back but did not see anyone behind him. He hurriedly replied: “Yes, grandfather, Yang Chen will take his leave.”
He chose the intermediate Huang martial technique, which can be considered as disregarding the rules. Afraid that the old man would discover something, he answered and quickly left.
Inside the hut, an old man opened his eyes, and helplessly exclaimed: “I originally thought that this boy could be a talent that can be groomed, but he seems to bite off more than he can chew, and actually chose an intermediate Huang martial technique……what a pity. Long Qinglan previously could be said to have the greatest potential to enter the Deity Dan Realm……”
