Chapter 721

Long Chen ignored Shui Guanzhi . Although he had to admit that Shui Guanzhi was extremely powerful, he wasn’t afraid of him .

It was just that now, Long Chen was much more on guard toward the other rank two Celestials . Shui Guanzhi was a rather special case amongst the four of them .

His combat strength lay in his defense, not offense . Furthermore, with this fellow’s character, he definitely wouldn’t expose his true trump cards unless he had to .

Although he had heard that when the four of them had exchanged blows and they had been equally matched, that was simply because it hadn’t been a battle to the death . They had merely used probing blows .

Today, he had provoked Shui Guanzhi and found many abilities that he hadn’t used before . That meant the other rank two Celestials also had to be hiding terrifying trump cards .

Just Shui Guanzhi, who didn’t specialize in offense, was already able to push Long Chen to the point that he had no choice but to use all his trump cards . Then Zhao Wuji, who was widely known for his offense, would definitely be much more terrifying .

Long Chen’s gaze roamed around . As expected, he saw overflowing battle intent coming from Zhao Wuji . It seemed he had an urge to fight Long Chen right now .

As for Yue Qianshan, his gaze was like a sword . He also seemed interested .

Only Zhong Wuyan’s expression was indifferent, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking . That made Long Chen snort . It seemed things would be very lively .

This was Long Chen’s first time encountering such powerful opponents . He felt his own blood boiling with battle intent .

Long Chen might not have an arrogant air, but he had a lofty and unyielding character . His arrogance was concealed in the depths of his soul . Thus, he also thirsted to fight with experts .

Currently, Zhao Wuji, Zhong Wuyan, Yue Qianshan, Shui Guanzhi, and Long Chen were going deeper into the storm zone from five different directions . They moved slowly, because the closer they got to the core of the storm zone, the stronger the current grew .

But Long Chen didn’t continue forward . Although the tide contained all the energies of heaven and earth, and any cultivator would gain huge benefits from it, he was different . He was not an elemental cultivator . He controlled flame energy and thunderforce, but he didn’t need to do anything to absorb those energies . Lei Long and Huo Long had already reached the core of the storm zone and were absorbing energy .

Although they had separated from him, he could sense their emotions . Those two were crazily devouring energy there with extreme joy .

Furthermore, the two of them listened to what he had said . They kept themselves small . They were only a few inches long, and outsiders were unable to sense their existence .

Of course, compressing their bodies meant they couldn’t absorb energy as easily . It was fortunate that the energy at the core had practically reached a solid state, and so it was compressed enough for them to devour their fill .

Shui Guanzhi and the others were doing their best, but they finally reached their limit a few miles from the core . They were unable to advance another inch .

But this place was already enough to give them endless benefits, benefits that surpassed their imaginations . They were doing their best to absorb their own specific energies from the current .

If Long Chen continued forward, the current’s energy could rapidly strengthen his body, and he would be able to release even greater strength in the future . But he decided not to do that . That was because he felt that doing that wouldn’t have any meaning . The body-strengthening aspect from the storm zone couldn’t compare to Enlightenment Palace Pills . There was no need to waste that time .

His energy was rapidly recovering in the current, and he was fully recovered in just two hours . That was too miraculous, as he would have required several days to do the same outside this sea .

Once he was recovered, in front of everyone’s uncomprehending gazes, he left the storm zone . He walked over to Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er .

“Long Chen…”

“Meng Qi, I’ll bring Wan-er into the storm zone . She’ll be able to gain even greater benefits there . But you…” said Long Chen apologetically .

“It’s fine . In truth, the Xuantian Sea isn’t too useful to me . A Beast Tamer’s body is just too weak . Even if it’s strengthened, there’s a limit . You should bring Wan-er along!” said Meng Qi .

“Meng Qi, can you endure it?” asked Long Chen worriedly .

“I’ll be fine . I’ve already grown accustomed to it . I told Wan-er to go ahead on her own before, but she refused . This opportunity is rare, so don’t waste time worrying about me . ” Meng Qi smiled toward Tang Wan-er .

Long Chen nodded . He brought Tang Wan-er over to the storm zone . When they approached the border, Tang Wan-er was clearly under extremely great pressure . She was slightly pale .

Long Chen directly activated his divine ring, blocking the pressure for Tang Wan-er . She gratefully smiled toward Long Chen .

“Let’s go . ”

He directly charged into the storm zone with her . With his assistance, Tang Wan-er easily entered . The majority of the pressure had been blocked by him .

“I’ll slowly withdraw my strength, so the pressure on you will gradually increase,” said Long Chen . Seeing Tang Wan-er nod, he began to pull back his strength .

Although she had been prepared, Tang Wan-er still jumped . The instant Long Chen began to withdraw his power, she felt like countless mountains had begun collapsing on her .

But Long Chen went slowly, giving her a great deal of time to accustom herself . Even so, it took Tang Wan-er two hours before she could just barely endure it .

“Alright, you can absorb the wind energy here . It will increase your comprehension as well as adaptability . I’ll come to find you later . ” After setting up Tang Wan-er, Long Chen returned to the red zone .

Seeing Long Chen actually use his precious time to pull Tang Wan-er into the storm zone, countless Celestials were incredibly envious . As for the monastery heads, they were lost in thought . Long Chen was sacrificing much to do this . He was giving up his cultivation time . Was he not afraid of being surpassed by others?

It had to be known that the cultivation path was filled with struggles . No one would give up opportunities like this, not even if they were giving them up for a wife or a brother . In fact, to obtain such an opportunity, it was all too common for them to turn hostile against their own kin .

“Why did he go out again?”

No one understood . Because she was a member of the Three Peerless Beauties, practically everyone in the Xuantian Dao Sect knew that Meng Qi was a Beast Tamer . She couldn’t possibly enter the storm zone .

“He wouldn’t… Is he really…?” People were stunned to see that Long Chen was going toward Gu Yang and the others .

“Brothers, are you prepared?” Long Chen smiled .

“Boss, are you serious?” Gu Yang was startled and delighted .

“Yes . I’ll also drag you guys in . That place will multiply the benefits for you . I just don’t know if you dare to or not,” laughed Long Chen .

“Of course we dare! Boss, quickly bring us in!” cried Gu Yang and the others excitedly .

Even here, they felt themselves strengthening with every passing moment . But the storm zone was something only second rank Celestials could enter . Rank one Celestials didn’t even have the qualifications to get close . The benefits there could make a person drool .

“Alright, then the captains can follow me . As for the squad leaders and below, you won’t be able to enter,” said Long Chen .

The legion’s captains were Gu Yang, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and Yue Zifeng . The Dragonblood Legion was composed of three hundred and sixty members . They were split into thirty-six squads, each with a squad leader . The four captains were each in charge of nine squads .

The squad leaders were the strongest of the squads . But compared to Gu Yang and the other captains, the difference was extremely great .

“Brothers, I’m cheering for you . Have a good trip, hahaha…” Seeing that Long Chen didn’t mention him, Guo Ran was extremely relieved .

But a single sentence from Long Chen made him turn green . “Guo Ran, you’re also coming . ”

“Boss, my body’s too weak! It’s even weaker than one of our ordinary brothers! I should stay here and just cheer for you… Aiya! Boss, please, I don’t want to go… I’ll die if I go . . . Please boss, release me! I have a mother, and I want to have babies one day…” begged Guo Ran .

But Long Chen ignored him . He simply dragged him over . No matter how he begged, Guo Ran was unable to stop Long Chen’s footsteps .

“All four captains of the legion have come . As the head general, you can’t be excused . Even if you die, you have to die inside the storm zone,” said Long Chen as he dragged a wailing Guo Ran .

BOOM!

As Long Chen pushed his divine ring to its peak, the five of them forced their way through the current .

However, this time, Long Chen was under extremely great pressure . The tide’s strength would adjust itself according to a person’s power . Now that he was enduring the pressure for the five of them, he felt a powerful resistance . They weren’t Celestials, and so they couldn’t compare to Tang Wan-er . If he didn’t do this, they would be instantly crushed .

Seeing Long Chen bringing five people to the storm zone, countless jaws dropped . This was truly ruthless .

“What a fool . He’s wasting such a good opportunity . Pulling in Tang Wan-er was one thing . After all, she’s a Celestial and has plenty of room to grow . But to drag in five ordinary disciples is just a waste of time . Especially that crying fellow . He’s clearly just trash . No matter how good Long Chen’s talent is, if he just wastes his time like this, he’ll quickly be thrown into the distance!” said Shui Yuncong .

The other experts also nodded . Tang Wan-er was a wind cultivator, and pulling her into the storm zone gave her limitless prospects . Doing such a thing had been worthy of praise .

But pulling in five ordinary disciples made people speechless . Was he really so bored? Furthermore, wouldn’t those five people be crushed to death as soon as they entered?
