C18 Fencing(part I)
Loong Yun returned to his room alone and started to meditate.
In the fight with Lee Shadan just now, I actually didn't get the upper hand. Lee Shadan is a powerhouse at the eighth stage of Transcendence Stage who is two ranks higher than Zhao Cheng. After the fifth stage of Transcendence Stage, every step after that, the strength would multiply and become incomparable.
The Imperial City Challenge Tournament is near, I have yet to investigate the strength of the Lee Family, so Zhao Cheng's two elder brothers should be very troublesome to deal with. With my current strength, wanting to be the first in the arena, I do not have much time left.
The most important thing was still the Imperial Family. The Imperial Family's attitude was unclear, and Zhao Family was also a popular person beside the Emperor. Loong Family's situation was extremely worrisome. If I win the match, Loong Family will still be called a crime that no one will ever know of, which would be ironic to the extreme.
I was born with profound strength, and am connected to it by blood, so I naturally cannot abandon it. The only thing he could do now was to increase his strength as quickly as possible in a short period of time.
I have to master the first form of the Nine Dragons True Body transformation for the rest of the time, and it's also time to forge a handy weapon. Back then, I had the reputation of being a "sword immortal", but now I've been stumped by a third-rate saber art. One more thing, I must investigate the royal family to determine the uncontrollable factors.
"Is Brother Loongyun inside?" "Everyone's waiting for you in the training field. Some of us have been practicing for the entire afternoon, so why don't you come and give us some pointers?" Outside the courtyard, the voices of the disciples of a certain clan suddenly echoed out.
Loong Yun's thoughts were interrupted. He packed up and replied, "Didn't I say that I would give you pointers when I have time?"
"I say, Brother Loongyun, why don't you teach us a half move first. Our daily practice has been reprimanded by that old guy Loong Qi, and only if you go, can we calm down. Hehe." The person who spoke was Long Zhen.
"So it was you who led the team to cause trouble."
"Do you want to cultivate or do you want to be lazy? Long Zhen, you better be honest with me. " Loong Yun asked.
"Brother Loongyun, I was in the wrong before, but I really want to do something for my family. I want to be like you." Long Zhen explained.
At this moment, a melodious voice broke the deadlock.
"Big brother, you're back?" Why is it so quiet. " Wan ran out of the room and said happily.
"I just came back, so I didn't have the time to tell you that I'm going to the training field again. Stay at home and don't run around if you have nothing to do." Loong Yun said with concern.
"Since when did big brother become a busy man? Do you dislike me being a burden?" "This is so infuriating." Wan then made a face at Loong Yun and the others before turning around to return to her room.
"Little sister Wan is becoming more and more beautiful, and her strength is almost on the same level as your brother."
"Hmph, I don't want to be stronger than my brother, it would be good if I were to be thrown away as long as I'm weak. This way, not only will I not drag my brother down, I can also be protected by my brother. I like the feeling of being protected by my brother, but right now, I am only at the fourth level of Dust Realm." Wan pouted.
"Haha." The surrounding disciples laughed.
"Let's go, you want to fight, right?" Loong Yun urged on the side.
"Sister Wan, let's go." All the disciples bid farewell to Wan before leaving.
After everyone had left, Wan secretly took off her bracelet to conceal her aura, and started to cultivate seriously in the room.
Not long later, Loong Yun and his juniors arrived at the family training field.
Loong Yun heard Elder Loong Qi's catchphrase from afar, "rotten wood cannot be carved!" And the few "children are worth teaching!"
Elder Loong Qi seemed to have noticed Loong Yun and the others, "What are you guys still standing there for? Don't you need to train? The Imperial City Challenge Tournament is around the corner, are you all prepared to go make fun of me? "
"Hello, Elder Loong Qi." Loong Yun spoke first.
"Loong Yun? "Why are you here too? I don't have much to teach you in terms of your strength." Loong Qi waved his hand and said seriously.
Long Zhen and the others will have to trouble you more, Clan Elder. With our Loong Family weakened to this extent, among the young generation, there are only a handful of Transcendence Stage warriors. Long Zhen is the strongest amongst them, I hope that they can hold out for a day in the future.
"Also, the path of martial arts comes one step at a time. You must not be too hasty, or else the extreme will be reversed. I presume the elder knows this." Loong Yun reminded him.
"That's only natural. This old man personally witnessed his Loong Family reaching such a level today, which is why I'm disappointed!" Elder Loong Qi said in disappointment.
"Elder, we know we are at fault. We will definitely redouble our efforts in the future." Everyone replied.
"One more thing, I would like to ask if our Loong Family still has a supporting array for refining? I need it urgently. " Loong Yun asked seriously.
"Loong Yun, you might not know this, but this artifact forging auxiliary formation is quite famous in the history of our Loong Family. My grandfather had also helped patriarch Loong Chen before, but the family was so destitute that the artifact forging auxiliary formation no longer exists. I can't help but sigh at the thought of this. " Elder Loong Qi said in a deep voice.
"After all, the Imperial City Challenge Tournament every year has always been the best time for the clan to fight for resources. However, we're always the last in every year, so the resources we receive will be fewer and fewer. I still need to spend Loong Xiangyu's cultivation resources in the next few years. I'm afraid that she doesn't even have much silver from the treasury anymore. " Elder Loong Qi sighed again.
When the disciples heard this, all of them burst into tears.
"What about the rest of the family business?" Loong Yun asked.
"It's good that you didn't mention it because our Loong Family's influence is getting smaller and smaller. If not for that kid Aotian, we probably would have closed our doors and closed our businesses." Loong Qi answered truthfully.
"So that's how it is." Loong Yun answered thoughtfully.
Loong Yun seemed to have entered a mysterious state as he fell into deep thought. The spiritual energy fluctuations around his body seemed to be very gentle, or more accurately, they seemed to have formed a close relationship with Loong Yun. No one dared to disturb him, fearing that they would miss Loong Yun's rare opportunity. All of a sudden, Loong Yun's eyes emitted a sharp light. Everyone was shocked by the sudden momentum. Actually, Loong Yun's soul force had reached level 2.
In the mortal world, everyone's definition of soul force wasn't very strict because other than the alchemist and Formation Master, even True God Stage Expert wasn't that much higher than the others.
Apothecaries and Formation Master were used to classifying the strength of their soul force into five general stages, from sensing, entering the room, mastering it to reaching the Spirit Transformation, and then returning to the ground.
Loong Yun, on the other hand, was used to dividing his soul according to the level he defined.
Because whether it was in Heaven Realm or this mortal world, Loong Yun felt that his own soul's strength far surpassed that of others.
In other words, Loong Yun's soul strength was never-ending compared to others.
For example, another soul master with the main God Level could release their soul perception to cover half of the Longwu Continent. However, when Loong Yun was a Warlord, he felt that he could understand the situation of more than ten people with Longwu Continent. Not only that, Loong Yun could accurately lock onto the specific situation of each person's breathing, the flow of each stream.
When Loong Yun was at the Divine Palace, once, bored out of his mind, Loong Yun spread out his soul force and discovered a very strange but clear existence. It was as if there was a barrier at the edge of the Heaven Realm and on the other side, there seemed to be another world.
In his previous life, Loong Yun relied on his demonic soul force to detect the existence of a golden dragon. That was the first time he saw Dragon Race, and it was also the last time.
Loong Yun said after his breath calmed down.
"Everyone, listen to my orders. I will be responsible for everyone during the training this afternoon. However, if you guys dare to slack off, don't blame me for turning hostile."
Loong Yun exuded a strong soul pressure, causing everyone to tremble in fear. They replied in unison, "Loong Yun, don't worry."
"Alright." He was like a child now, with a face full of smiles that he had not seen for a long time. Looking at Loong Yun explaining to the Loong Family Disciples about his weaknesses and techniques in actual combat, he started dancing on the side.
Time slowly passed and everyone's training was nearing its end.
Loong Yun stood on the fighting stage and said in a low voice, "Today, everyone is very diligent. I believe that you all have seen the effect, in the coming days, just do as I ask. Our Loong Family does not have any cowards."
"Brother Loongyun, when are you coming back?" I still want to see you execute the Howling Tiger Fist. " At this moment, a childish voice sounded from the crowd.
"Loong Jiu, let's talk about it when you're as tall as Brother Loongyun. Haha." Hearing Long Zhen's words, the crowd burst into laughter again.
Loong Yun laughed in agreement. He finally remembered that this half-grown child appeared once during the lightning strike, and as for whose child he was, he didn't ask about it in detail, feeling that there was something special about him.
Loong Yun got rid of his distracting thoughts, turned to Elder Loong Qi and joked, "Elder Loong Qi, my guidance today is not too bad, right?"
Loong Qi looked embarrassed. He remembered the first time Loong Yun and the Dragon and Tiger brothers fought, so he shouted, "You stinking brat, you dare to scold me. See if I hit you or not."
Loong Yun laughed as he ran, "Haha. "This child is worth teaching."
Finally, Loong Yun returned to his residence and stood at the entrance of the courtyard. He continued to recount the recent events in his mind.
The mastery of the Holy Spirit Transformation is only missing these two days. The most important thing is that I don't have a proper weapon. Without a good weapon, it is really depressing. Lee Shadan's lame cut nearly caused me an accident.
If there was no other way to forge a weapon, it seemed like he would have to trouble Lei Qingping and his daughter again.
After making up his mind, Loong Yun did not go in again. He left the Loong Family and arrived at the Tian Store. He saw an old man sitting on the counter.
Loong Yun came forward to tease him, "Old Lei, I brought you a business here again."
