Chapter 98 - Blazing Thunder Crystal

Gan Lin left after he led Ao Xue to Long Chen. The relationship between Long Chen and the Dawn Trading Alliance was a personal matter, so he couldn’t interfere.

It was obvious that Ao Xue was resentful that she was the one who had been sent here. Her rage worsened when she saw Long Chen grinning at her. “Supervisor Zhao says that the Dawn Trading Alliance has received a new Soul Nourishing Fruit. He asks if you want it,” she said flatly, glaring at him.

She was content to be sitting at the marketplace, but her boss had instructed her to come all the way here just to tell Long Chen this. This was utterly insufferable to her.

She didn’t understand why and thought that Supervisor Zhao was doing too much for Long Chen. “I do! Of course I do!”

Long Chen had always been a prodigal son since young. Now that he had about a hundred divine jades at hand, he didn’t intend to save them. When I get stronger, I’ll be able to get as many fruits as I want. I should buy more soul-nourishing herbs for my darling girl so she can live a little longer.

He saw the hostility in Ao Xue’s eyes. But, like how a dead pig wasn’t afraid of boiling water, he said shamelessly, “Uh. Miss Ao Xue, you may lead the way.”

Before she set off, Supervisor Zhao had reminded her with severity not to be rude to Long Chen. She didn’t dare disobey him, so it didn’t matter if Long Chen was unreasonable—she still had to clench her teeth and swallow her pride. You bastard! If I get a chance, I’ll skin you alive! You only had a few steel hearts; I can’t believe how Supervisor Zhao treated them like treasures! I’ll prove very soon that Long Chen is no match for me!

Harboring hatred in her heart, Ao Xue walked ahead without a word with a frighteningly dark expression.

“This girl isn’t ugly at all, but she’s sulking so bad that her face looks like cow dung. My Ling Xi is much prettier ...”

Walking behind Ao Xue, Long Chen mocked her in a low voice. This delighted Ling Xi, who was giggling at his jokes.

If Ao Xue had heard him, she would’ve fought him to death on the spot.

However, Long Chen was still cautious with her dark glare. I wonder what Supervisor Zhao is up to. If he only had a Soul Nourishing Fruit, he could’ve just asked Ao Xue to bring it to me. Why is he making me go to him? Is he still trying to recruit me?

Long Chen admired Ao Xue’s curvy figure as he walked behind her, mulling over how he should deal with Supervisor Zhao later.

It was afternoon, so there were fewer customers in the Dawn Trading Alliance marketplace. When Long Chen arrived, Supervisor Zhao welcomed him with open arms. He gave Long Chen a hug, then patted his shoulder and said, “Brother Long Chen, you’re finally here!”

“A person who is overly friendly for no reason is either a crook or a robber.” Ling Xi pursed her lips inside the Ling Xi Sword when she saw Supervisor Zhao’s behavior.

Long Chen greeted him with the same friendliness. He brought Long Chen into the same guest room as the previous time and invited him to take a seat. He then instructed the green-faced, unwilling Ao Xue to serve them tea and grinned at Long Chen. “I heard that you killed a mid Human Core Realm expert on a mission. Does that mean you’ve reached the Human Core Realm?”

Ao Xue was pouring tea when she heard Supervisor Zhao open the conversation so directly. Such shocking news would startle anyone. She had accidentally poured tea outside of the cup! “I’m sorry, Supervisor! I wasn’t careful ...”

It wasn’t appropriate for Supervisor Zhao to rage in front of Long Chen, so he wanted to shoo her out, but Long Chen waved and looked at her arrogantly. “Don’t go yet. You’ve made a mess, so you should be cleaning it up, don’t you think?”

You!

Ao Xue was about to leave in a fit of rage when Supervisor Zhao said hurriedly, “Ao Xue, clean it up.”

When she heard his flat tone, Ao Xue didn’t dare disobey. She glared at Long Chen, gritted her teeth, and started to clean up.

Long Chen was smug when he saw her unwillingness.

He’d been extremely annoyed by her arrogance from the last time he came to the Dawn Trading Alliance. Now, it was her turn.

He finally started getting into the main topic. “Supervisor Zhao, it’s true that I have reached the Human Core Realm, but the thing about killing Senior Huang Feiyang—that’s just a rumor spread by someone who wants to frame me. If I had really killed Senior Huang, I wouldn’t be chatting with you here, unscathed.”

Supervisor Zhao was initially doubtful that Long Chen could kill Huang Feiyang, seeing as he was only at the initial Human Core Realm.

However, whether or not he had killed Huang Feiyang didn’t affect how seriously he took Long Chen. He took out a large, wooden box containing two bundles of red cloth. Wrapped within were two Soul Nourishing Fruits.

Ling Xi’s eyes brightened when she saw the two fruits, but Long Chen frowned.

“Brother Long Chen, these are the Soul Nourishing Fruits you wanted.”

But he didn’t have enough divine jades to buy two fruits, so he said with great pity, “Supervisor Zhao, I don’t need two. The money I have right now is only enough for one.”

Ao Xue looked at him with contempt, seeing how poor Long Chen was. She was initially a little frightened when she thought Long Chen had really killed a mid Human Core Realm expert. Too bad it was only a rumor. This bastard. He’s only at the Human Core Realm, why is he so smug? In a few days, I’ll reach the Human Core Realm myself! When that happens, let’s see who’s stronger!

Ao Xue was also extremely envious that Supervisor Zhao placed so much importance on Long Chen.

When Supervisor Zhao saw Long Chen’s frown, he laughed heartily. “Didn’t I mention this last time? We’ve met twice now, so I consider us friends. Look, you can buy one and I’ll give you the other one for free. What do you think?”

Such gifts were too generous for a man who only admired him.

Long Chen knew that it was impossible for him to leave the Lingwu family at this moment, so he was unwilling to take the gift.

Supervisor Zhao’s eyes twinkled when he saw that Long Chen was still hesitant. With his eyes still fixed on him, he said, “Let’s do it this way, Brother. You help me do something and I’ll give this fruit to you. That way, we won’t owe each other anything. What do you think?”

“May I ask what I can do for you, Supervisor Zhao?”

Zhao Tianfang had spoken with a somber tone, so Long Chen guessed that this was the main reason why he had been invited here. If it wasn’t for this, he wouldn’t have asked Ao Xue to go through the hassle of bringing Long Chen here.

Zhao Tianfang gave a small smile, sent Ao Xue out, and then took out a Universe Pouch. After a moment, he pulled out a crystal the size of a baby’s fist.

Long Chen squinted to see that the crystal was completely blue and rhombus-shaped. The top and bottom were extremely sharp, and there seemed to be sparks of electricity flickering inside the crystal. At the same time, blue sparks flew outwards.

Ling Xi’s surprised voice came from within the Ling Xi Sword. “A Blazing Thunder Crystal?”

But Long Chen was too close to Supervisor Zhao, so she didn’t dare speak anymore after she cried out its name. However, he now knew that the Blazing Thunder Crystal was valuable.

“Do you know what this is?” asked Supervisor Zhao solemnly.

Long Chen shook his head. “No.”

“This is called ... a Blazing Thunder Crystal.”

Supervisor Zhao stared as the crystal spun in his palm, then he explained passionately, “The Blazing Thunder Crystal is an extraordinary treasure that doesn’t belong to a tier. If one absorbs it into their body, they’ll possess the power of lightning and fire. This item is very effective for Body Tempering techniques. Once you merge with more than ten Blazing Thunder Crystals, you will successfully obtain the Blazing Thunder Combat Body!”

Long Chen looked at it in amazement. “One only has to merge with it? And that’s possible without cultivating?”

Wasn’t that even more convenient than the Recovery technique that he’d just received?

It was important to note that Long Chen had only taken one day and one night to successfully cultivate his Life Combat Technique.

“Of course, it’s not that easy ...” Supervisor Zhao shook his head. “The number of Blazing Thunder Crystals that one can merge with depends on one’s talent and bodily properties. As long as one can merge with more than ten crystals, they’ll be able to form the Blazing Thunder Combat Body. When one masters the power of lightning and fire this way, they’ll be called a Blazing Thunder Warrior!”

Blazing Thunder Warrior?

That didn’t sound bad at all.

Long Chen realized that he knew too little about this world. He’d just gotten the Recovery Fruit, and now he had learned about the Blazing Thunder Crystal, both very impressive treasures.

But why had Zhao Tianfang asked for help and then pulled out the crystal?

Long Chen asked suspiciously, “Supervisor Zhao, may I ask what your Blazing Thunder Crystal has to do with me?”

He gave a small smile, eyeing Long Chen up and down. “To be honest, I am very impressed by you. The thing I want you to do is ... I want to see how many Blazing Thunder Crystals your body can merge with!”

It was as if a loaf of bread had fallen from the sky and hit his head. Long Chen was in disbelief.

He was initially wondering how difficult his task would be. He never expected such an awesome task!

Supervisor Zhao not only wanted to recruit Long Chen into the Dawn Trading Alliance, he had also repeatedly given him gifts. Long Chen hesitated, wondering what strings would be attached to them in the future.

When Supervisor Zhao saw that he was hesitating, he said solemnly, “Long Chen, don’t think that it’ll be easy to absorb a Blazing Thunder Crystal. The crystal contains a manic, violent energy. If you cannot withstand it, your body will explode and you will die. I want you to try merging with this crystal, but if your body isn’t capable of absorbing even one, you’ll likely be in mortal danger. That’s why it’s not going to be a simple task to get these two Soul Nourishing Fruits. Take some time to think about it ...”

While he hesitated, Ling Xi suddenly said, “Quick, say yes.”

Ling Xi was more knowledgeable and was intimately familiar with Long Chen’s situation, so when she said that, Long Chen nodded hard without a hint of hesitation. “I can’t believe you have such great expectations of me, Supervisor Zhao! Therefore, I shall merge with the Blazing Thunder Crystal, no matter what!”
