While Long Chen was standing there dumbfounded, Qi that forcefully broke out from the mysterious jade emblem appeared in his dantian.

“Where did this Qi come from? Could it be that the Dragon Jade absorbed it from my father’s body?!”

Although Long Chen’s physical training was at the pinnacle stage, the huge amount of Qi had exceeded his ability to harness it. The abrupt energy flowed outwards from his limbs, sending the earth flying in all directions!

A scorching wave surged through his chest, causing Long Chen to cry out in agony. He gritted his teeth, already drenched in sweat!

The Qi in his dantian thrashed violently within, and seemed ready to explode at any moment. At this rate, it would result in death by combustion. Long Chen’s eyes turned red at the thought of dying without a complete corpse.

“I’m not someone who dies so easily! Dragon Pulse? Break through it!”

After training the body, at the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm, a practitioner’s dantian generates Qi. When a sufficient amount of Qi has been gathered, it will transform into the Legendary Dragon, and break through the first Dragon Vein. And the amount of Qi in Long Chen’s dantian at this time far surpassed the requirement!

“Break!”

Gritting his teeth, sweat dripping onto the ground, he let out a roar. Under his skillful manipulation, the Qi in his dantian transformed into a Dragon. Sucking in a deep breath, he resolutely pushed forward towards the Dragon Vein! With a bang, the Dragon Vein was burst open by his forceful Qi. A countless amount of Qi rushed in like a raging flood, thundering into the Dragon Vein. Formerly closed, the Dragon Vein expanded inch by inch under the assault of the Qi. Throughout this entire process, the Dragon Qi also expanded crazily!

[TL note: Here the author wrote the Qi condensed/transformed into the form of a Dragon, but because “Dragon-like Qi” sounds weird we decided to go with Dragon Qi, but the Qi is not really from a Dragon.]

Pop!

The first Dragon Vein, in a quarter of an hour, was suddenly pierced through. The Dragon Qi cycled through the Dragon Vein several times, then returning to the dantian. However, the Qi that had just returned to the dantian at this time ceaselessly rampaged around. The powerful Qi had bloated Long Chen, making his entire body feel extremely uncomfortable!

“After opening up one Dragon Vein, I actually managed to break through the first level of Dragon Pulse Realm! However, the Qi in my dantian is still growing at an extraordinary pace. This level two Dragon Pulse, I have to give it a try today!”

Inside, he knows that just then, it could be said that he broke through the first Dragon Vein almost effortlessly. With the momentum he had now, he cannot let this opport“Eh? This useless bum 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 assassins 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 assassins 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 spacious, 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 pagoda 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 harassment 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!“
