Chapter 67 - Black-Tier Martial Technique
Huang Xiang turned serious when he saw Long Chen’s aura increasing in intensity and becoming dangerous.
He stopped and smiled at Long Chen. “I thought I’d be able to send you flying with ease, but I think you’ve just earned the right to become a test subject of my new martial technique.”
The people in the hotel didn’t know what kind of Black-tier martial technique it was, but they were sure Huang Xiang had a good grasp on Long Chen’s strength. That meant it was a trivial matter for Huang Xiang to get rid of Long Chen, even going so far as to experiment with a new technique.
The butler and his guards were delighted. “Young master, are you using the new technique? That’s incredible! You haven’t been able to test it on a living target yet, so this is a good chance. At the very least, you will have a higher chance of joining the Lingwu family.”
The guards nodded too.
Even though the butler had spoken in a hushed tone, Long Chen heard it loud and clear.
So he’s entering the Lingwu family too? Now is a good time to get rid of him! Who knows if I will have the opportunity later ...
But Long Chen was wary of what Huang Xiang had said just now.
He said he had learned a new martial technique. There’s no reason for him to announce it if it’s an advanced Yellow-tier martial technique, unless ...
There was no stopping now.
Huang Xiang chuckled when he saw Long Chen’s solemn expression. “You guessed right. This is a Black-tier martial technique. You are but a lowly beggar from the boonies, so you must’ve never seen a Black-tier technique before.”
His words were like hammers smacking Long Chen’s head. He finally realized how dangerous the situation was.
The children from influential families probably have access to innumerable martial techniques in their repositories! My strongest technique is the Dragon Seal. I don’t have a Black-tier martial technique!
Long Chen’s advantage was his physical resilience in his dragon form, but it was worthless in front of an advanced Yellow-tier Body Tempering method.
His Qi might’ve been ten times stronger than the regular Qi, but Huang Xiang had roughly ten times more Qi than him, making them almost equal. What Long Chen lacked was a Black-tier martial technique!
Long Chen frowned.
He finally understood how weak he was, but Huang Xiang naturally would not let him go just like that. The young master opposite him emanated a suffocating presence.
Huang Xiang circulated his Qi madly and then a faint wheel of light appeared in his hands, turning and spinning faster the longer he prepared it. Rays of light shot towards Long Chen.
Long Chen almost lost his footing!
But he did not give up. Even though his opponent had the advantage, a battle could not be decided based on techniques alone!
Long Chen did not take a step back even against the menacing wheel of light. He tensed up and pounced towards Huang Xiang in a blur of red!
His speed was comparable to Huang Xiang’s speed, causing the latter to be surprised.
Shit, he’s as fast as me! His Qi must be almost equal to mine. Beast Warriors are indeed unique. If it wasn’t for this Black-tier martial technique, he might’ve been on equal ground with me!
He changed his perspective on Long Chen. Even though the latter was wearing normal clothes and came from a humble background, it was irrational to think that a normal family would be able to produce a Beast Warrior.
I might be in trouble if I kill someone from an influential family, but I will not stop now! Since you’ve angered me, I will teach you a lesson. This is your fault!
Huang Xiang did not hold back, and the wheel of light soon completed in his hands. He approached Long Chen, the wheel of light overflowing with power, causing the bystanders to step back!
The busboy was shocked to see what was happening. Young Master Huang is crazy! If this attack landed on the hotel, the entire building would be destroyed! That young man is dead for sure!
He turned around and was even more surprised to see a blood-red glow on Long Chen’s body.
Long Chen quickly formed his seal while images of blood-red dragons quickly formed up his arms and towards his palm. Soon, nine dragons were formed, and they flew towards Huang Xiang!
He had used all of his strength in this single attack!
“Wheel of Glory!”
The wheel of light flew towards Long Chen as soon as he released his attack!
“Primordial Dragon Seal!”
The two massive energies collided and exploded, causing dust to fly everywhere. The horses in the stables cried out in fear. Even the butler and the personal guards of the Huang family paled from the shockwave and retreated a distance away.
The guests within the hotel were slightly closer and were blown away by the shockwave. The busboy’s clothes were ripped apart, exposing his hairy body. But he did not notice it and continued staring at the fight.
“What the fuck? What happened? Did that young man use an equally strong technique?”
He had thought the young man was dead as the Wheel of Glory was an attack capable of destroying the hotel in one blow, but to think Long Chen’s attack was on par with Huang Xiang’s attack!
This was a massive plot twist.
Even if he endured it, he should be dead soon. I refuse to accept that a bumpkin like him can come out unscathed!
He stared at the fight and saw that both fighters had been blown back by the attack. Long Chen and Huang Xiang took several steps back, leaving footprints on the stone path!
Long Chen had been sent back ten meters. He had to circulate his Qi feverishly to prevent his blood from boiling. Even then, his arm was numb from the impact.
But what surprised everyone was that Huang Xiang had been moved as well. He had retreated five meters and had to suppress his Qi from the impact. He was shocked to see Long Chen coming out unscathed!
The Wheel of Glory, a Black-tier martial technique, can’t even kill him? How can it be? Or is it because I can’t use its full strength?
Huang Xiang was in disbelief.
My father told me I had grasped eighty percent of the technique. The remaining twenty percent can only be learned when I arrive at the Human Core Realm. But even so, how could it not kill the brat? Maybe he is from a family with an equal standing to mine?
Huang Xiang felt conflicted when he saw Long Chen recovering.
Father told me to not cause any issues unnecessarily. Since even the Wheel of Glory can’t kill him, I have no choice but to use that technique. But using it will affect my chances of entering the Lingwu family ... Fine, I will let him go today. Though I’m going to kill him if I ever see him again! I would’ve killed him today if it wasn’t for the fact that using the other technique wouldn’t harm a large amount of my Qi ...
The busboy was shocked. He had thought that Long Chen would’ve been heavily injured if not dead after that attack, but to think he was still standing there unharmed. The busboy’s jaw was wide with shock, to the point that someone could stuff their fist in there.
His clothes were in tatters and his hairy body was out in plain view, but he didn’t notice.
To think I have been so blind. This young man most likely hails from a powerful family!
He was not the only one surprised by the outcome. The guests and bystanders were equally surprised to see Long Chen taking the Black-tier martial technique and coming out of it unscathed.
The butler was in denial. He rubbed his eyes and confirmed that Long Chen was indeed unharmed. Denial soon turned to shock.
“Impossible! Our young master is a Ninth Draconic Stage cultivator. Even the master said that the young master would be unmatched in a fight against cultivators at the Draconic Realm! How could he fail to kill an Eighth Draconic Stage cultivator?”
Long Chen’s performance made everyone rethink their evaluation of him.
Not only had he taken Huang Xiang’s attack from the front, he was even unharmed. All of them instantly placed him in the same position as Huang Xiang and no longer dared to ridicule him.
Huang Xiang stared at Long Chen spitefully. There was no reason to fight any longer since he couldn’t kill Long Chen. Naturally, he was no longer interested in the Black Scaled Dragon Horse.
Huang Xiang only wanted the horse on a whim.
He took one more glance at Long Chen before shrugging his shoulders and entering the hotel.
The butler and his guards naturally followed. All of them looked at Long Chen as if he was a dead man.
“The young master must be fuming since he’s not talking, but why isn't he doing anything?”
“I don’t know, but the young man is dead for sure!”
Long Chen had no idea what Huang Xiang was trying to do after seeing him entering the hotel without a single word.
“He probably felt too embarrassed to stay here any longer after you blocked his strongest attack,” Ling Xi said nonchalantly.
Long Chen, however, had a feeling that this was not the end of it.
“He’s probably afraid of harming his own Qi by fighting me here, which would hurt his chances of joining the Lingwu family later on. To think he would swallow his pride for that. But I don’t think I can stand the humiliation he gave me.”
“We don’t have a choice. You are not at all inferior to him except in terms of martial techniques. If you manage to obtain a Black-tier martial technique, you might be able to beat him quite easily.”
“A Black-tier martial technique ...”
Long Chen squinted in contemplation.
