Chen Liu retreated a few steps backwards, laughed happily at Chen Long and said: “This is just sparring; we’ll stop once a hit lands, Young Master Chen do not have to worry about losing too badly!”

Long Chen gazed coldly at Chen Liu, and deeply felt the contempt behind that smiling mask. Indeed, if Long Chen did not undergo yesterday’s experience, in the Yang family ranks, perhaps he would not even beat an outsider like Chen Liu.

However, right now, regardless of whether it is combat ability or tactics, he had undergone a world changing experience. Having just gained combat strength, deep down he is also raring to have a fight!

“Chen Liu, I know your true colors, do not put up a front. If you want to fight then go ahead, however if I kill you accidentally, do not blame me!”

Hearing such a resolute tone from Long Chen, Chen Liu was stumped momentarily. At the same moment when he decided to retaliate verbally, he caught Long Chen’s figure moving with surging Qi, throwing a fist at him!

“Indeed you entered the Dragon Pulse Realm, but you are still not my match! Fine, if you do not know your place, don’t blame me, Chen Liu, for not holding back!

Chen Liu lingered in the second level of the Dragon Pulse Realm for two years and had accumulated a huge reserve of Qi, right now instead of retreating he went forward with a big shout and threw a punch, opposing Long Chen directly.

Bam!

The two opposing fists collided, causing an explosion of Qi, which pushed both parties backwards.

Feeling the strength of the opponent’s fist that was comparable to his strength, Chen Liu was startled: “Well done, you actually concealed your strength deeply, the second level of the Dragon Pulse Realm!”

Long Chen had also retreated.

Chen Liu’s Qi reserves are similar to mine, and he has more experience compared to me, if this fight is prolonged, I will definitely not be able to match him. Today is my first fight, if this ends with a loss; it will definitely hinder my progress in cultivation greatly, so even if I die I must not lose!”

Thinking of that, Long Chen’s eyes turned bloodshot, his eyes turning quickly he suddenly saw a rock the size of a fist lying nearby.

He immediately cast his gaze away, stared at Chen Liu and said: “Chen Liu, you definitely carry some weight, but I am stronger than you, try and take another fist of mine!”

Throwing out a punch, Chen Liu was not to be outdone, and drew an explosive burst of Qi directing it to Long Chen!

Boom!

This time, Long Chen was sent flying and fell violently towards the floor!

“The old cripple’s son is indeed a cripple as well, with this pathetic strength of yours, how dare you even flaunt your strength in front of me, you ought to be beaten up! “

Seeing Long Chen falling, Chen Liu knew that his strength was definitely stronger than his opponent and laughed loudly on the spot.

However Long Chen had already hopped back on his feet, his bloodshot eyes resting on Chen Liu. What Chen Liu did not see was Long Chen placing his left hand at his back.

“You have actually not given up yet?”

Chen Liu roared with laughter, and charged towards Long Chen again. Seeing how Long Chen desperately got cornered to the nearby wall, Chen Liu once again wanted to hit Long Chen with another fist and defeat him thoroughly. However at this point, Long Chen’s left hand jerked forward, gripping a black object and struck at Chen Liu’s face.

“What is this?!”

Chen Liu hurriedly used both hands to shield his face, and the black object struck his arm, from the pain felt on his arms, he could feel that it was a piece of rock.

Long Chen used all his strength to hit, but Chen Liu used his Qi to hit it away, thus not causing much damage to his arm.

Yet at this moment, Long Chen rushed towards Chen Liu, and landed a kick on his stomach. A loud bang sound was heard and Chen Liu gave a blood curdling screech, crashing into a willow tree and spurted blood on the floor, completely losing his combative state, only using a frightened gaze to look at Long Chen, with a face filled with disbelief.

“You……Yang Chen, you actually dared to hurt me, my elder cousin brother will definitely claim your wretched life!”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 pagoda within, raised his head and looked at the steel pagoda, 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 titled [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 assigned 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……”
