Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 60 - The Mysterious Origin of Tang Le
"Brother Long, please wait for me," Tang Le said, catching up to Long Chen.
Long Chen glanced sideways at him. "Do you have some instructions for me, Brother Tang?"
Tang Le said seriously, "I decided to go to Brawl Forest today because of you, Brother Long, but I have no intention of harming you. It was merely out of curiosity."
"Oh? Curiosity?" Long Chen replied with a surprised smile.
"Brother Long, you’ve cultivated an Earthly Body at such a young age. Even in Martial Ancestor, only three others have achieved this, yet you are from Dragon City." Tang Le’s eyes narrowed into slits as he continued, "The cultivation resources of Martial Ancestor and Dragon City are worlds apart. Yet, you managed to cultivate an Earthly Body in Dragon City. This proves that your innate talent is extremely strong—even stronger than those three."
Upon hearing this, Long Chen shook his head and chuckled. "By your logic, others will probably have the same idea."
"Of course! After all, Dragon City has no Body Refinement Techniques. And although the World Business Association sells them, only Martial Ancestor and Sword Ancestor can afford them." Tang Le said with a grin, "There’s no scent of body-refining Spiritual Medicine on you, which shows you’ve never used them for Body Refining. You should know that using Spiritual Medicine for Body Refining is standard practice everywhere. Yet, you achieved it without this method and still cultivated an Earthly Body."
At this point, Tang Le paused and switched to the Sound Transmission Technique. "Last night, despite knowing I have a Poison Physique, you still chose to pick up the ring I threw. You even formed a blood contract with it afterward. Space Rings don’t exist within a ten-thousand-mile radius of here. No matter how much of a coincidence it might seem, there’s no way you could have ’accidentally’ dripped blood on it. This can only mean you knew what it was. Combining these points, I’m certain you either have guidance from a master or you’re the reincarnation of a powerful expert who knows a more advanced Body Refinement Technique!"
The reincarnation of a powerful expert? Guided by a master? A more advanced Body Refinement Technique? Long Chen’s eyes flickered. He was now even more convinced that Tang Le’s background was not simple.
"What do you want from me?" Long Chen asked.
"You know what my Constitution is, and you’re confident your Realm Combat Power is stronger than mine, believing my Constitution can’t harm you. Correct?" Tang Le’s tone suddenly turned cold. "Whether you’re a reincarnated expert or have a master guiding you, I expect you to remain silent and not interfere with anything related to me. Of course, I won’t cause you any trouble either. Consider the Space Ring a gift."
As his words fell, Tang Le seemed to feel his warning wasn’t enough and added with greater emphasis, "First, if you’re a reincarnated expert, with your current Realm Combat Power, you are as weak as an ant. I could kill you with ease! Second, if you have a master guiding you, then that master’s insight isn’t great enough to make me wary. While I might not be that master’s opponent, provoke me, and I still have ways to kill your master! I am not bluffing. You should consider this carefully, Brother Long!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Upon hearing this, Long Chen’s pupils constricted abruptly as he stared at Tang Le in astonishment.
Tang Le is actually this confident! Where does his confidence come from?
"That fatty is truly audacious!" Xia Duoduo’s voice was filled with fury. "If my true body weren’t trapped on Nine Demons Mountain, I would definitely make him pay!"
"When he mentioned a master guiding me, he talked about their insight. You saw that he has a Swallowing Body and you know about the Space Ring, yet he still says your insight isn’t enough to make him wary. This can only mean he has another secret you haven’t seen through," Long Chen’s eyes flickered as he secretly communicated with Xia Duoduo. "And this hidden secret is likely related to his Realm Combat Power. Otherwise, he wouldn’t boast about being able to easily kill me, or even you, the one who saw through his Constitution. That must be the source of his confidence."
Hearing this, Xia Duoduo fell silent. After calming down and thinking it over, she realized it was indeed the case.
"How do you intend to deal with him, Young Master?" Xia Duoduo asked.
"Since he’s already laid his cards on the table and even threatened me, I can’t lose face or show weakness," Long Chen said before turning to face Tang Le. "You shouldn’t have thrown out the Space Ring last night. If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t know your background was so mysterious. In turn, you wouldn’t have grown suspicious of me just for forming a blood contract with the ring. You would have simply dismissed me as an overconfident fool for daring to pick it up, despite knowing you have a Poison Physique. But alas, what’s done is done. It was all just a bizarre twist of fate. Even if you have the power to kill me, I doubt you’d do it so easily. The fact that you chose to warn me proves you don’t want to expose your background. While I won’t interfere in your affairs, you’d better not interfere in mine! You may have the ability to kill me, but I have the ability to make the two years you’ve spent hiding in Martial Ancestor a complete waste and ruin all your plans!"
The moment his words fell, Tang Le’s breath hitched, and he froze on the spot. He never imagined that Long Chen would dare to threaten him back—and with a threat he couldn’t counter!
To think that this tiny place has produced not only an empress’s reincarnation like Chu Lingjun but also a Long Chen with an unknown background! A cold light flashed in Tang Le’s eyes before he suddenly put on a smile and slung an arm around Long Chen’s shoulder. "We’re brothers. It’s fine as long as we don’t interfere with each other. Besides, I have to protect you in Brawl Forest this time. That was Chen Yao’s wish, although I’m also worried about Huang Xu trying to scheme against me."
He’s not using his Swallowing Body. Long Chen raised an eyebrow. Though Tang Le showed no hostile intent, he still repelled him.
In that instant, Tang Le’s eyes widened in shock. "Brother Long, you possess such combat power! If we were to fight in the same Realm, I’m afraid I’d have a very hard time defeating you."
"As long as you don’t turn on me while I’m being besieged, no one in the Bing Institute can threaten me." With that, Long Chen strode forward. This trip to Brawl Forest might just be the opportunity he needed to break through to the next Realm.
