Dragon War God

Chapter 100 - Blazing Thunder Combat Body!

After Zhao Tianfang led Long Chen back to the Dawn Trading Alliance, he went off to deal with his own matters. When Ao Xue saw Zhao Tianfang’s cool expression, she smirked, as if she knew this would happen all along.

“Goodbye!” she said, as if shooing Long Chen away.

From the look on Zhao Tianfang’s face, she knew that Long Chen must have merged with one crystal at most. Ao Xue was the same—she too had only merged with one. If she worked harder, she might be able to merge with two!

This proved that Zhao Tianfang’s warm treatment of Long Chen was all for nought. “He’s trash! And yet he pretended to be a genius, how funny!” she snickered behind Long Chen.

“I wonder what kind of face she’d make if she knew that you could merge with much more than one,” Ling Xi said in his ear with a laugh.

“Xiao Xi, we’ll walk around outside for a while as it’s only evening now. Once night falls, it’ll be time for you to shine. It’ll be too suspicious if he loses something the moment after I’ve left.”

Long Chen only responded to Ao Xue’s behavior with a smirk.

But he had no time to dwell on people like that. Very soon, Long Chen walked out of the Dawn Trading Alliance under Ao Xue’s gaze of contempt. He turned through a few streets, found a quiet teahouse, and drank some tea, familiarizing himself with his current body.

“So I’ll be able to form the Blazing Thunder Combat Body and become a Blazing Thunder Warrior if I merge with ten Blazing Thunder Crystals?”

Long Chen felt the numb, prickling energy faintly flowing through him.

Lightning and fire were two of nature’s most violent energies.

“That’s right. Also, the Blazing Thunder Combat Body is divided into tiers. Once you’ve merged with ten crystals, you’ll gain the Level One Blazing Thunder Combat Body. What comes next is Level Two, and the highest is the Level Three Blazing Thunder Combat Body! I’m not sure how many crystals that takes, but it’s definitely more than ten!”

“Then how can I merge with more crystals?” he asked expectantly.

“The number of crystals depends on your body type. Your body type is one of a Dragon Warrior, and your Qi contains mostly the power of a dragon. Plus, your body is considered the embryonic form of a dragon. That is why in terms of bodily properties, you can easily conquer the crystals.

“On the other hand, it’s also related to the amount of Qi you possess. Your Qi contains a dragon’s aura, so let’s call it Dragon Soul Qi. The stronger your Dragon Soul Qi, the more Blazing Thunder Crystals it can suppress and control. The crystals contain Blazing Thunder Power, so as long as your Dragon Soul Qi is more powerful than the Blazing Thunder Power, it’ll be okay ...”

“We’ve talked so much about it, but we still don’t know if we’re going to get them for sure.” Long Chen smiled helplessly.

Blazing Thunder Crystals were great for Body Tempering and strengthening the Blazing Thunder Power in his Qi. Indeed, he was very tempted.

When he first received the Dragon Soul Transformation, his body had skyrocketed in strength and attained a level beyond that of an advanced Yellow-tier Combat Body.

And that was just a sliver of the Inherited Blood Essence. But as his enemies grew stronger and stronger, and also possessed more powerful combat techniques, he started feeling that he was lacking.

He didn’t know when the Inherited Blood Essence would be activated again, so he decided to first put his focus on the Blazing Thunder Crystal.

“You bastard! You still don’t trust me, do you? You just sit right here. I will personally get your matter settled and it will be perfect.”

Ling Xi was furious that he didn’t believe in her.

If it wasn’t for the fact that it wasn’t time yet, she would’ve rushed to the Dawn Trading Alliance immediately. “You wouldn’t even be able to fathom the tricks I use. No matter what you say, I will get you the Blazing Thunder Crystals!”

Ling Xi’s sudden burst of determination today didn’t seem like her past self at all. But Long Chen knew what the girl was thinking.

He had treated her extremely well and bought her soul nourishing herbs anytime he had some money. He had even entered the Desolate Mountains when his family was about to enter a war, risking it all to search for Dream Lingzhi Mushrooms. Ling Xi was extremely touched by his kindness.

That was why she wanted to do something for him. With a girl like her by my side, I’ve already won even if I don’t get to be a player for the rest of my life ...

Long Chen’s mind wandered into the gutter, but he quickly shook his head. His relationship with Ling Xi hadn’t reached that stage yet, and her background was mysterious. He could faintly feel that sometimes, they were like people from two different worlds. On the other hand ...

I am Young Master Long! I’ve always been a player who played the field without ever catching feelings. I play in the flower field but never get even a leaf on myself. So why would I hang myself on a tree? And this tree hasn’t even grown ...

Sometimes, reality could be so peculiar that it was out of anyone’s expectations, even if it made sense. But Ling Xi is so beautiful that she seems out of this world. When she becomes a woman in a few years, I’m sure I’ll be falling on my knees at the end of her dress. If I let any other animal touch a fairy like her, it would be a tragedy!

When Long Chen thought about how Ling Xi might be with other men in the future, he suddenly had the impulse to die. Unless this is the legendary ‘love’ they talk about? He smiled bitterly.

Both of them had indeed been through a lot during their time together. He felt like they were ride-or-die partners now, and the corners of his lips subconsciously curled up into a smile every time he recalled the way they joked and scolded each other. Sister Yu at the Jade Palace Brothel said that love at first sight is rubbish; true feelings develop when two people have walked on the same path together for some time, sharing tears and laughter along the way. That’s how love grows. If I continue spending time with Ling Xi like this, will it come to that?

Long Chen was oddly torn with that thought. Since young, he’d imagined himself with many wives and mistresses and definitely not like this!

“Hey, idiot! You’ve got a disgusting grin on your face! What the hell are you thinking about?!” asked Ling Xi, her brows furrowed, when she saw that he was suddenly in deep thought.

Long Chen gave a sheepish grin.

The sky had darkened by now. He looked in the direction of the Dawn Trading Alliance and suddenly smiled. “Xiao Xi, don’t you think there’s something ... strange about the name of the *Dawn Trading Alliance[1]?”

He grinned. “Chen Xi. I’m Chen and you’re Xi. Together, isn’t that Chenxi?”

When she felt Long Chen’s fiery gaze, her cheeks reddened. Growing mad, she bared her teeth and scolded, “How dare you take advantage of me! I’ll beat you up!”

Although she was scolding him, her voice was filled with gentle sweetness.

Ling Xi froze as she realized how she was acting, then she changed the topic. “It should be time, right? I want to go now.”

Long Chen didn’t want to stop her. If he didn’t let her show off her capabilities, she might cause him more trouble in the future.

This mission wasn’t very dangerous, so he agreed. “Listen. Safety is more important than anything.”

“Mhm.”

The tiny Ling Xi Sword slowly slid out of Long Chen’s ear, then it quickly disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Without the sword in his ear, Long Chen suddenly felt like his heart was empty, like it had nowhere to go.

He suddenly felt so lonely without Ling Xi by his side. Have I suddenly become afraid of loneliness?

He couldn’t imagine where he would be without Ling Xi, nor could he imagine how he would continue living on. Chenxi is the beginning of it all. We will forever be like the dawn—the symbol of rebirth that will never ever die out!

With that thought, Long Chen closed his eyes and placed both hands on the armrests of his chair. He leaned back, feeling his heartbeat.

When he listened closely, he realized it was beating quite loudly.

The beat continued to grow louder in his ear. He could faintly sense a blood-red dragon, majestic enough to cover the skies and the sun, roaring within. Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon ... Blood and massacre ... Are they my destiny?

Time passed slowly. After a little over fifteen minutes, Long Chen’s eyes sprang open, and a Universe Pouch was thrown into his hand. The feeling of contentment returned and the sword returned to his ear. “Hey, stupid, hurry up and get back to Lingwu City!”

Without another word, Long Chen started walking back to Lingwu City.

When he didn’t hear any signs of weakness in Ling Xi’s voice, he heaved a sigh of relief. He asked anxiously as they hurried on, “How was it? Are you hurt?”

“How’s that possible?” Ling Xi was pleased with herself. “That smelly bastard didn’t even notice me when I took the Universe Pouch. Also, I helped you teach Ao Xue a lesson! It’s her fault for being so annoying!”

When he heard that Ling Xi could do bad things, he was very interested. “What did you do to her?”

Ling Xi blushed in embarrassment. The feeling of being a naughty child was refreshing, but it wasn’t her style.

“ ... I ... I cut off her hair ...”

“Pfft!”

Long Chen was worried but felt like the girl was just so adorable.

“Right, one more thing. I did have to use a technique to take the Universe Pouch. I used a secret technique to turn invisible, which exhausted a lot of my power. That’s why I’ve spent approximately more than two Soul Nourishing Fruits out of the four I have ...”

Long Chen was speechless at this prodigal daughter’s behavior, but he waved his hand and said generously, “It’s fine. Just eat them all! When they’re finished, I’ll steal more!”

“Yay!”

“Let’s go! We’ll see how many Blazing Thunder Crystals you got!”
