Chapter 3 Emerging Edges
In the Fengming Empire, martial arts prevailed, and battles were inevitable, so outside the imperial capital, there was a stage of life and death, where personal grievances were resolved.
Here, as long as both parties agree and sign the life-and-death contract, once they enter the ring, even if they kill each other, they will not be sanctioned by the laws of the empire.
On weekdays, there are countless spectators here, and there are also many today, but after the decisive battles ended, when the two young men came to the stage, there was a commotion below.
"Isn't that person Long Chen? Why is he here again?"
"Yeah, I was almost beaten to death yesterday, why did it happen again today?"
"Hmph, I guess I don't want to live anymore, I want to be beaten to death here"
Long Tianxiao is honored as Marquis of Zhenyuan and is known as the military god of a generation, but the people who really call him the military god are those poor people who have suffered from the torment of war all year round.
In the imperial capital, these people who are either rich or noble live in a peaceful and prosperous age, and they don't think much of Long Tianxiao, who was born as a commoner, so for Long Chen, few people in the entire imperial capital think highly of him.
"Long Chen, you trash, why are you here again? Isn't this a waste of time? Who wants to watch you compete, hurry up and get out!"
"That is, if you want to commit suicide, find a place where no one is around. No one wants to look at a piece of trash. It's a waste of time."
For a moment, hundreds of spectators in the audience couldn't help cursing loudly, apparently extremely disgusted with Long Chen.
However, in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, two veiled girls were looking at the figure on the stage intently.
"Sister, that's your fiancé? Why does he look so bad, there is no fluctuation at all in his body?" A girl said with some disappointment.
"Hmph, Dad didn't make it up on his own. Back then, he married me with his fingertips. He was really mad at me," said another girl, extremely annoyed.
On the ring, Long Chen didn't know at all that there were two girls watching them, and he didn't respond to those shouts, but just looked at Li Hao indifferently.
Li Hao pointed at the commotion crowd, and sneered, "Have you seen that, you are an unwelcome trash, and the ones who know you better just hit your head on your own."
Long Chen just looked at him lightly, without saying a word.
"when"
A bell rang, which was the signal for the start of the duel. As soon as the bell rang, life and death were on the line.
The originally noisy crowd fell silent because of the ringing of the bell. After all, it was a battle of life and death, and someone might die at some point.
"Sister, that fiancé of yours has no cultivation base at all, and he is facing a guy who gathers energy at the third level, aren't you worried?" the woman asked.
"Hmph, what's there to worry about? If you die, don't care about me." The other girl snorted softly, but while she was talking, there was already a very weird silk screen in her hand.
"Hee hee, you said you don't care, even the weapons are ready, it seems that you still care about him, but don't say, although his cultivation base is too useless, but he is really good-looking, otherwise, sister, you don't want him , give it to me," the woman said with a smile.
"Nonsense, can this kind of thing be messed around? If you like him, you can wait until I divorce him and do whatever you want," another woman said angrily.
"whee"
On the ring, Long Chen was as calm as water, and he was almost the same as the man who was gnashing his teeth yesterday.
"Long Chen, did you calm down when you were about to die? Don't worry, because of your bet, I won't beat you to death today." Li Hao said proudly.
"There's so much nonsense, let's do it quickly, I have something to do later," Long Chen said impatiently.
Because the audience was very quiet, Long Chen's words came to everyone's ears word for word, and in an instant, the entire arena erupted in ridicule.
"Li Hao, what are you waiting for, beat this bastard to death quickly, it really disgusts us!"
Someone knew Li Hao and shouted on the spot.
A sneer appeared on Li Hao's face, he no longer hesitated, the strength belonging to the Qi Gathering Third Layer exploded, his feet were a little on the ring, and he had already rushed towards Long Chen, punching out.
As soon as Li Hao attacked, there was a burst of applause from the audience. Li Hao's posture was very beautiful and handsome.
"What a move, Linfeng Yushu Fist"
Someone recognized this trick, but the two women in the distance both snorted secretly, with a hint of sarcasm on the corners of their mouths.
There was also a sneer at the corner of Long Chen's mouth: Can such an idiot trick full of loopholes be used against the enemy?
Seeing a punch hit his face, the strong wind howled, but Long Chen ignored it and remained motionless.
"Haha, this trash can't even hide." Someone in the audience taunted.
But just after he finished his taunt, Li Hao's fist stopped three inches in front of Long Chen's face, motionless.
Those people who had indulged in ridicule suddenly fell silent. They found that Long Chen's leg was stretched out, and the sole of his foot was fiercely kicking between Li Hao's legs.
Li Hao, who was originally full of spring breeze without losing his true colors, now looked like a purple eggplant. It was obvious that Long Chen's kick made him uncomfortable. The severe pain made his face distorted and he couldn't move.
He couldn't move, but Long Chen could. At the moment he paused, Long Chen grabbed that Li Hao's hair with both hands, and pushed back hard, while his own strong knee knocked out.
"bang bang bang"
Long Chen's movements are very pleasing to the eye, the paragraphs are clear, and the movement and sound give people a very strong visual impact and a bright sense of rhythm.
There was the toothache-cracking sound, and Li Hao was hit hard three times in a row. The bridge of his nose collapsed and deformed, his face was covered with blood, and he passed out.
For a moment, the entire venue was completely silent. No one expected that a strong man in the third level of the Qi Gathering Realm would be defeated so quickly by a waste with no cultivation.
And it was defeated in the cleanest and most agile way. This result was like a severe slap in the face of those clamoring people.
Even the two girls who were secretly watching the battle from a distance had expressions of shock on their faces. That Li Hao was nothing in front of them, but he could kill him with a wave of his hand.
But Long Chen was different. From the beginning to the end, he didn't use any spiritual energy, and completely defeated Li Hao with the fighting style of a mortal.
"Dragon dust wins"
A voice came from below the stage, it was an old man who specially presided over the ring, and was in charge of registration and announcement.
Long Chen's chest rose and fell sharply. He used great perseverance to suppress the killing intent in his heart. Now is not a good time to kill.
It's just that it has been suppressed for too long, and it bursts out all of a sudden, and it is difficult to take it back. From the outside world, it is thought that Long Chen's hands and feet are exhausted from excitement, and he is panting wildly.
Long Chen stepped off the stage, walked to the old man, took back his bet long knife, and got a five thousand gold coin crystal card.
The rule here is that before the game, the bets must be handed over to the referee to show justice, which also eliminates the possibility of repentance.
After getting the treasured knife, Long Chen returned it to Shi Feng directly, and put the crystal card in his arms, feeling a little excited in his heart.
Although [-] gold coins are not much, it can solve some urgent needs. It has been a long time since the Long family's salary has been deducted from the above, and now the Long family really can't get rid of it.
Under the gaze of countless people, the two slowly left, and the two girls disappeared after seeing Long Chen leave.
The news that Long Chen defeated Li Hao spread throughout the entire imperial capital as if he had grown legs, making countless people puzzled. How could a waste who can't practice martial arts become powerful all of a sudden?
But there were countless people who witnessed it with their own eyes, and the news that Li Hao was carried back to the mansion spread, and many people couldn't accept it for a while.
After Long Chen and Shi Feng left, Long Chen originally wanted to share the spoils with Shi Feng, but Shi Feng refused to do so. In the end, he excused himself to have something to do and went back first, without even asking why Long Chen suddenly became stronger.
Keeping this favor in mind, Long Chen went straight to Baicao Hall, and after entering Baicao Hall, Long Chen asked for a catalog of medicinal materials here.
The names and prices of various medicinal materials are clearly recorded on it. Long Chen has seen most of the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan on it. Fortunately, the medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan are not particularly rare.
However, seeing the price above, Long Chen's heart was bleeding. Those gold coins he had were only enough to buy three materials.
But he can't buy all the ingredients, he still needs to buy an alchemy cauldron, and he also needs to buy some other spare medicinal materials. The gold coins in his hand are just a drop in the bucket.
But it was impossible not to buy it. Long Chen gritted his teeth and spent 1000 or [-] gold coins to buy the worst quality bronze cauldron.
I also bought a batch of medicinal materials for refining Fengfu Dan, and at the same time bought a large amount of medicinal materials for refining Huiqi Powder. When Long Chen came out of Baicao Hall, he only had [-] gold coins on his crystal card.
After returning home, Long Chen went straight to his room, locked the door tightly, and asked Bao'er to inform everyone not to disturb him.
He knew that his mother would know the news that he was going to the martial arts competition again, and he was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he deliberately asked Bao'er to block his mother. Anyway, he was fine, so his mother should not be too worried.
Now that he is racing against time, he must quickly improve his strength. The current predicament of the Long family is not as simple as it appears on the outside. Long Chen smells a sense of crisis.
"call"
The spiritual energy in Long Chen's body circulated, and a ball of flames appeared in the palm of his hand. This was the pill fire condensed by the alchemist, but seeing that ball of flames, Long Chen couldn't help crying and laughing. This ball of flames is probably too weak.
Pill fire is the spiritual fire condensed by the alchemist with his own spiritual energy through a unique operation method, but now the temperature of the pill fire condensed by Long Chen is very low, not much stronger than ordinary fire.
Moreover, Long Chen found that without the support of his dantian, his pill fire could not last for a quarter of an hour, which was far from enough time to refine the pill.
Long Chen smiled wryly, but luckily he had a backup. Long Chen didn't refine the medicine, he put the medicinal materials of Huiqi San into the cauldron, and refined them one by one. However, he didn't use the fire of the pill, but the fire of wood .
After refining all the medicinal materials, there was a whole jar of regenerating liquid around Long Chen. After a short rest, Long Chen took a deep breath:
It's time to officially start refining Fengfu Pill.
