Supreme Dragon Lord-Chapter 82 - Half-step Warrior!

"Let’s go to the Spirit Stone Chamber." Long Chen’s face was expressionless. In ten days, I will kill Su Miaoyu! This time, I will give her absolutely no chance of survival!

A moment later, Long Chen spent 150,000,000 Human Martial Beads in the Spirit Stone Chamber in exchange for 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones. Then, led by Liu Bian, he entered the Training Room.

"Brother Liu, it seems Senior Brother Long isn’t willing to accept your kindness." The disciples of the First Division watched with varied expressions as the Training Room door slowly closed. Liu Bian had first tried to give Long Chen celestial weapons, and just now, he had wanted to gift him Spirit Stones, but everything was refused.

"Shut up! If any of you dare to gossip about Senior Brother Long behind his back again, I won’t show any mercy!" Liu Bian’s gaze was icy. After scolding them, he added with disdain, "What do you ignorant fools know? Senior Brother Long is a man of principle!"

"Brother Liu is right. We were wrong," the disciples quickly apologized.

Liu Bian ordered, "You stand guard here. I’m going back to the Human Institute to ask Second Senior Sister for help!"

"Rest assured, Brother Liu." The disciples cupped their fists in salute, all of them rolling their eyes the moment they lowered their heads. Everyone knows that whoever reports to Tuoba Jiao will get a reward, or at least become a familiar face. But Liu Bian not only prevents others from getting close to Long Chen, he plans to report in person. He really doesn’t give anyone else a chance.

「Meanwhile, inside the Training Room.」

A voice suddenly sounded. "Take out the Spirit Stones. The speed at which you refine them will determine how long you can cultivate in here."

Hearing this, Long Chen did as instructed. He took out his Storage Bag and poured his battle qi into it, causing the Spirit Stones to float out one after another.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

A continuous series of sounds echoed as all the Spirit Stones that flew out of the Storage Bag were drawn by a force and arranged neatly around him.

RUMBLE!

Immediately afterward, a crystalline, four-sided ice stone slowly rose from the ground. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"This is the Soul-Subduing Cold Yin Stone. It can calm the soul and quiet the mind, assist in Body Refining, and enhance Spiritual Energy, allowing your cultivation progress to advance with half the effort."

As the voice slowly faded, Long Chen sat on the ice stone. In an instant, a cold qi entered his body. He felt an unprecedented clarity, and his heart became as calm as still water. However, a pain soon began to arise in his body, and it gradually intensified.

HISS!

Long Chen’s brows tightened. The pain grew stronger, as if knives were cutting him from the inside.

Xia Duoduo suddenly spoke. "I didn’t expect this minor Martial Ancestor sect to possess such a marvel. Though it’s rather small and low-grade, it’s tremendously useful to the young master right now. It can help clear out most of the impurities in his body!"

This really is a good thing. Long Chen closed his eyes and activated the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula, refining the Spirit Stones arranged around him.

When he absorbed the Spiritual Energy from the Superior Spirit Stones, Long Chen was shocked by its purity and immensity. In both quantity and purity, the Spiritual Energy was far superior to that of Lower Grade Spirit Stones. He felt his combat power continuously rising, a result of the fresh Dragon Blood coalescing within him. Although the process wasn’t as rapid as using Elixir Pills, the quality of the resulting Dragon Blood was on a completely different level—the two were worlds apart.

「In the Human Institute, at the First Division where the First-class Disciples resided.」

After asking around, Liu Bian finally found Tuoba Jiao in the Medicine Hall. At that moment, Tuoba Jiao had already bandaged her right arm, while Qiu Ming sat cross-legged beside her, healing with his eyes closed.

"Liu Bian? What do you want with me?" Tuoba Jiao asked coldly, sounding very impatient.

Liu Bian glanced at Tuoba Jiao’s bandaged right arm, then at Qiu Ming, whose aura was in disarray as he healed. He was shocked to the core. Even if I wracked my brain, I couldn’t figure out who would have the audacity to injure Tuoba Jiao!

Liu Bian hurriedly said, "Second Senior Sister, Senior Brother Long has run into trouble at the Martial Institute! That Sun Bi’an from the Earth Institute is guarding the Ship Boarding Entrance..."

"Senior Brother Long? Which Senior Brother Long?" Tuoba Jiao’s eyes narrowed. At that moment, the mere mention of the word ’Long’ made her feel uncomfortable all over, filling her with a seething anger.

"It’s Senior Brother Long Chen," Liu Bian responded.

SWISH!

At these words, Tuoba Jiao shot to her feet, her pretty face frosty and menacing.

Nearby, Qiu Ming, who had been healing with his eyes closed, opened them and stared at Liu Bian in disbelief. He actually came to get reinforcements for Long Chen? And he’s trying to get Second Senior Sister Tuoba Jiao of all people? Qiu Ming looked at Liu Bian with newfound admiration, almost wanting to give him a thumbs-up.

"Are you and Long Chen very close?" Tuoba Jiao asked with a smile.

Still bowing his head, Liu Bian replied respectfully, "I have acknowledged Senior Brother Long as my master and am willing to go through fire and..."

SLAP!

In an instant, Tuoba Jiao sent a vicious slap across Liu Bian’s face, knocking him to the ground in a daze.

"That Long Chen is nothing but a mere Third-class Disciple, yet you acknowledge him as your master?" Tuoba Jiao ground her teeth in anger. "Why did you come to me for help? Did Long Chen send you?"

"This..." Liu Bian was dumbfounded, completely bewildered.

「Meanwhile, in the Martial Institute’s Training Room.」

In just one shichen, Long Chen had completely refined all 150,000 Superior Spirit Stones. His battle qi had now reached the level of a Half-step Warrior! He was only half a step away from breaking into the War Maniac Realm.

Long Chen opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

"Congratulations, young master!" Xia Duoduo cheered.

Stretching his body, Long Chen shook his head and sighed. It seems that breaking into the War Maniac Realm will require at least another 50,000 Superior Spirit Stones. The demands of the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Body are too vast. For now, my only option is to find a way to purge the remaining impurities from my body and use that to break through into the War Maniac Realm. I remember that in the Divine Demon Ancestral Dragon Formula, there is a Body Refinement Realm, named the True Dragon Combat Technique. That might be useful!
