NOVEL WEB Chapter 895: Long Chen's Fighting Spirit
A silver metal token fell into Chen Yu's hand, the center of the token engraved with the word "Battle."
"Only those who have made great contributions to the Great Yu Alliance might be rewarded with a battle token. It is a symbol of honor."
"I've heard that, to date, throughout the entire Great Yu Realm, below the kings, there are no more than six people who possess a battle token."
Ye Luofeng also stared at the battle token in Chen Yu's hand.
The Burning Sword King had already left, leaving only the two of them here.
Chen Yu's hand, originally on Ye Luofeng's back, slid down to her slender willow waist, gently pulling her closer, as Ye Luofeng leaned against his shoulder.
The scenery was picturesque, the mist and clouds swirling, the radiance dazzling, as if they were in a fairyland.
In this dreamy fairyland, it seemed as if only the two of them existed, and even time seemed to be frozen in this moment.
However, this was only their fantasy.
This was the Great Yu Alliance, where few people could enter, but counting the entire Great Yu Realm and other smaller realms, it was quite numerous.
Not far away, several sounds of breaking through the air shattered the tranquility.
"Huh? Isn't that the Ice Lotus Fairy from the Eastern Domain Battlefield?"
"It really is!"
"But why is Ice Lotus Fairy Ye Luofeng leaning on another man's shoulder? Are they on a date?"
Those who witnessed this scene immediately felt heartbroken.
"No, I have to see who this person is, who could win the favor of the Ice Lotus Fairy."
A man clad in blue armor, mighty and imposing, said angrily.
The others followed, curious about who the man with Ye Luofeng was.
The armored man strode over, bearing hostility, his gaze focused on Chen Yu.
As he approached, he gradually saw the side of Chen Yu's face.
"This person... looks familiar..."
The armored man suddenly felt a sense of unease.
When he walked a few steps closer, his hair stood on end, and he suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard recently about the third place on the contribution ranking.
Whoosh!
Only the sound of the wind could be heard as the armored man quickly retreated, hiding far away.
This look of seeing a cat while being a mouse greatly shocked the others.
"He is Chen Yu..."
The armored man soundlessly communicated to the others.
Immediately, everyone felt heart-stirred and quickly left.
"Are you sure it's Chen Yu?"
"This is a formidable person, I've heard he exchanged over a million battle credits and charged into third place on the contribution ranking."
"And not just that, I've heard he even killed a Half-step Condensing Star Realm... In front of this person, even the two Saint Sons of the Nine Dragon Holy Hall are eclipsed."
Several people whispered.
Just then, two imposing demon race men strode forward, exuding an aura that made nearby living beings tremble involuntarily.
"Saint Son!"
"Long Ming, Long Yi!"
The few men seeing Long Ming and Long Yi suddenly appear were terrified.
Because just now, they were speaking ill of the two Saint Sons.
"Scram!"
Long Yi coldly snapped, and the people in front of him immediately dispersed.
"Damn it!"
Long Ming showed an unwilling expression.
As a Saint Son of the Nine Dragon Holy Hall, he had never been so humiliated.
Wherever he went, he was always praised, but today he heard people discussing his defeat.
He looked at Chen Yu again, who had stepped on him to make a name for himself and also won the beauty.
"Brother Long Ming, the Supreme Elder advised us not to offend him."
Long Yi sneered.
"Can you swallow this?" Long Ming hummed coldly.
"What if I can't? If this man's achievements are true, neither of us may be his match."
Long Yi showed a trace of unwillingness and hatred.
He didn't believe Chen Yu could truly kill a Half-step Condensing Star Realm, but what if it was true?
"Ha, ha, soon Long Chen Saint Son will come to the Great Yu Alliance, why not let him make a move?"
Long Ming recalled something and mentioned it.
"Long Chen?"
Long Yi's expression was complex.
In the past, the ranking of Long Chen among the nine Saint Sons of the Nine Dragon Holy Hall was similar to theirs.
But Long Chen had gotten the great opportunity at the Food God Banquet, defying fate, long surpassing them, becoming one of the most powerful of the nine Saint Sons of the Nine Dragon Holy Hall.
...
"The two Saint Sons of the Nine Dragon Holy Hall seem to harbor hostility towards you?"
Ye Luofeng expressed slight concern.
"It's nothing really, when I first came to the Great Yu Alliance, an amusing incident occurred..."
Chen Yu said, not paying much mind.
Afterward, Chen Yu recounted the previous events.
"Those two must hate you to death."
Ye Luofeng laughed with a "puchi," her laugh like heavenly music, astonishingly beautiful, making the surrounding scenery pale in comparison.
Then, Chen Yu roughly recounted the situation in the Blood Sea Realm.
Finally, Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng arrived at the Treasure Hall.
There were countless treasures here, and you could even exchange items for contributions.
"The first layer of the 'Heart Murdering Technique' has a prescription for refining the heart. I don't know if I need it..."
Chen Yu pondered.
The 'Heart Murdering Technique' is a highly difficult secret technique, dangerous to practice, prone to mistakes; thus, there is a corresponding prescription in the secret technique to strengthen the heart and reduce the chance of accidents.
However, Chen Yu's heart is extraordinary, penetrating neither by blades nor by poison.
Perhaps this prescription is redundant.
Chen Yu wasn't sure, so he decided to exchange all the prescription's ingredients and try it back home.
Next, Chen Yu must prepare to break through to the Peak of Late Stage Sky Sea Realm.
The cultivation environment in the Great Yu Alliance is excellent, and with Chen Yu's current Spiritual Body qualifications, he plans to meditate here for a period of time, aiming to elevate his cultivation to the Peak of Late Stage Sky Sea Realm.
"Give me two top-grade Sky Origin Pills..."
Sky Origin Pill, a Spirit Pill that advances cultivation within the Sky Sea Realm, each worth six thousand contribution points, but a top-grade Sky Origin Pill costs thirty thousand per pill.
In an instant, Chen Yu spent sixty thousand contributions.
"Three Purple Spirit Essence Blood Pills."
These Spirit Pills elevate the level of life and strengthen the physique, costing twenty-six thousand contributions each.
"Ten Fierce Sun Pills."
This pill contains the ultimate masculine Fire Dao power. Chen Yu plans to use this pill to cultivate the Shaoyang Sword Finger from the Six Flames Sword Finger.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Chen Yu took out the "Battle Token" and exchanged treasures worth hundreds of thousands of contributions at a discounted price.
Besides cultivation materials, Chen Yu currently has no other needs.
Later, Ye Luofeng also started exchanging.
She rarely returns to the Great Yu Alliance, often being on the battlefield.
This time, she plans to accompany Chen Yu for a while, ensuring her cultivation doesn't fall behind.
In terms of cultivation diligence, Ye Luofeng is no less than Chen Yu.
After returning to the cave dwelling, Chen Yu began his retreat.
Half a day later, he concocted the potion from the Heart-slaying Art and consumed it in one gulp.
"It seems... there's no feeling."
Chen Yu felt the potion gather towards his heart, yet it was like a stone sinking into the sea, causing no reaction.
This is completely different from what's recorded in the Heart-slaying Art.
"It seems my heart doesn't need any special formula to assist cultivation..."
After a while, Chen Yu concluded.
He then ignored this and began cultivating.
With his current Spiritual Body qualifications, his cultivation speed was far beyond the usual, occasionally burning qi and blood to activate the Blood Spirit Body's abilities, which suddenly accelerated his cultivation speed.
Three days later.
Chen Yu consumed his first Sky Origin Pill while in the state of the Blood Spirit Body.
The mysterious heart instantly emanated an absorbing force, swiftly absorbing all the medicinal effects of the pill.
The Blood Spirit Body also came into play, quickly devouring the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, causing the white light mist around Chen Yu to rapidly disperse.
Once the effects of the first top-grade Sky Origin Pill were exhausted, Chen Yu's cultivation improved significantly.
But there was still a way to go to reach the Peak of Late Stage Sky Sea Realm.
Chen Yu was not in a hurry; his Spiritual Body qualifications improved, and with the cultivation environment here, the Peak of Late Stage Sky Sea Realm was not far from him.
Of course, he wasn't solely focused on elevating his cultivation.
Body Refinement was never neglected, for in this aspect, he possessed an innate talent.
As expected by Chen Yu.
After consuming three Purple Spirit Essence Blood Pills, in less than a month, the Secret Pattern Demon Body broke through a small level, reaching the standards of the Peak of Late Stage Sky Sea Realm.
His defense and strength increased again!
Furthermore, the Secret Pattern Demon Body was about to reach the Great Perfection level.
In other words, this Cultivation Technique was almost reaching its limit.
"Which Body Refining Technique should I cultivate by then..."
Chen Yu pondered this question more than once.
He had paid attention to this type of Cultivation Technique but hadn't come across a suitable one so far.
...
Great Yu Alliance, Battle Hall.
"Long Chen is here!"
Someone exclaimed.
The crowd outside the Battle Hall turned to look, only to see a tall and imposing man striding in, his head adorned with white jade dragon horns, his body covered in white scale patterns, surrounded by radiance, dazzling to the eyes.
When Long Chen approached, the crowd around felt an inexplicable powerful pressure, causing the blood in their veins to coagulate.
"It seems the rumors are true, Long Chen, after receiving the opportunity at the Food God Feast, has further activated his ancestral bloodline."
"Now he is one of the strongest among the Nine Saint Heirs of the Nine Dragon Holy Hall."
The crowd stepped aside, making way for Long Chen.
Such was the overwhelming pressure emanating from Long Chen that ordinary people dared not stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Long Chen, slew... a Half-step Condensing Star Realm expert..."
As battle achievements were read out, everyone was astonished.
At the same time, on the contribution ranking, Long Chen's name surged upward rapidly.
Finally, the name Long Chen stopped at the fourteenth position.
"Congratulations to Long Chen."
"As expected of Long Chen, ranking fourteenth on the contribution list so quickly."
Long Yi and Long Ming rushed over.
But Long Chen's gaze was still fixed on the contribution list, landing on the third position, murmuring: "Chen Yu?"
Seeing Long Chen's interest in Chen Yu, Long Ming immediately said, "Long Chen, this Chen Yu is remarkable. When exchanging contributions with us, he surpassed both me and Long Yi, claiming that Demon Race talents are no better and Saint Heirs are merely famous in name..."
Long Ming's ability to fan the flames made Long Yi cautiously eye him a few times.
"You need not say more, he's still in the Great Yu Alliance, isn't he? I've long wanted to fight him."
Long Chen suddenly looked at Long Ming, white light bursting forth from his eyes, filled with terrifying dragon might, pushing Long Ming back at a glance.
During the Food God Feast, Long Chen had an impression of Chen Yu but didn't pay much attention.
Until before the end of the feast, the phenomena that occurred around Chen Yu shocked all directions, surpassing Long Chen, garnering his notice.
"This lad must have gained an opportunity at the Food God Feast and has reached this stage now."
"I'd like to see, after these years, whose progress has been greater, yours or mine..."
Long Chen murmured a few words and left the Battle Hall.
Long Ming and Long Yi, showing joy on their faces, followed behind Long Chen.
"Long Chen, Chen Yu's cave dwelling is this way," Long Yi said.
"No hurry, I want to first break through to the Half-step Condensing Star Realm, then compete against him!"
Long Chen left without looking back.
"He's still at the Peak of Late Stage Sky Sea Realm!"
"But given Long Chen's recent achievements, he's already defeated a Half-step Condensing Star Realm..."
After the two Saint Heirs took a deep breath, they instead smiled happily, confident that once Long Chen broke through to the Half-step Condensing Star Realm, he could definitely overshadow Chen Yu.
