Suxue rolled her eyes at what Long Chen called her, making her look more attractive. She then left gracefully, but after a few steps, she turned around and said, “Long Chen …”

“What is it?”

She bit her lip, but still pushed through and said, “Many things change with time. If one day, while you’re working very hard, you realize that many things are not as what you imagined, do not feel too dejected. Come back to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. There will still be many people waiting for you …”

Long Chen pursed his lips. After a long time, he finally nodded and said, “Alright.”

Then Suxue left, feeling assured. Her departure was quick.

“Tsk tsk! Did you break another heart? Brat, when you meet Ling Xi, I will tell her about each and every girl you flirted with! I can’t wait to see her make you kneel for ten days and ten nights! Haha …” said Little Cat, clutching his belly with laughter after he emerged from the Primordial Realm.

“Get out!” Long Chen glared at him, then he started cultivating.

Initially, he had felt lost.

But after Suxue gave him a choice to make, he reaffirmed his beliefs and decided that he would continue charging forward!

Even though he did not know what lay ahead. Even though there would be death and goodbyes. Even though he could lose everything, including his life. He would do it without regret or complaint.

Little Cat stared at the teenager in a daze. After a while, he nodded and said, “From what I can see, this teenager is pure to the bone. He is a prodigy of cultivation, and will surely become something great in the future …”

Far behind Little Cat, Suxue was also standing there, watching Long Chen focus on his cultivation in a daze. After a long time, she finally turned to leave. Not far away, two men were watching her.

“Xue’er is a good girl! That brat is blind,” said Lei Ji, slightly mad.

Bai Lan gave a small smile. “It was always going to be like this. As I said before, he is a traveler. Her attempt was good, but this is the result I expected.

“I don’t know what secrets that brat holds. I have never met someone who made me feel this nervous about their secrets.”

***

The night passed quickly while Long Chen was deeply immersed in cultivation.

Long Chen had picked the number one, so he was in the first duel, and he was up against Suxue. Her expression was slightly icy today. Perhaps she had been embarrassed by his response yesterday. Even when Long Chen tried to cheer her up, she was cold towards him.

A woman’s heart is like a needle in the ocean. I shouldn’t spend too much time trying to figure her out, or I’ll just end up nowhere. Long Chen smiled to himself.

On this day, the Five Elements Alliance was purely here to gain experience. The battles of the day were not very attractive to the audience.

The only duel whose result was slightly uncertain was the battle between Long Chen and Suxue. As for the duel between Wu Guangyu and the cultivator from the Five Elements Alliance, everyone already knew what the result would be. This was because his strength was very memorable to them.

“Let’s begin! You brat, don’t you dare hurt my beautiful girl, or I’ll rip you to pieces!” said the Long-Bearded Guest, trying to scare Long Chen.

Of course, he would not dare do anything to Long Chen. With the Long-Bearded Guest’s wisdom, he could see that Long Chen would surely become a fearsome master in the future if he was allowed to grow.

Long Chen ignored him, because Suxue’s ice-cold glare worried him.

What’s going on with her? Long Chen was speechless.

Had his teasing from yesterday made her angry?

After the Long-Bearded Guest announced the start of the duel, Suxue did not hold back at all. She immediately started the duel with her killer move – the Divine Demon Nine Spirals!

Among the younger generation, only Long Chen, Wu Guangyu, and Jin Ling were capable of using intermediate Emperor-tier attacks. Long Chen and Jin Ling had intermediate Emperor-tier body tempering techniques.

Long Chen could now combine three Emperor Seals, and the result was an attack as powerful as an intermediate Emperor-tier combat technique.

When Suxue unleashed the Divine Demon Lord’s body combat technique, she suddenly turned into a sophisticated, illusory silhouette and charged toward Long Chen. In the blink of an eye, the Divine Demon Nine Spins arrived right in front of him.

“First Spin, Moving the Heavens and Earth!

“Second Spin, Reverse the Rivers!”

The Divine Demon Nine Spins arrived one after another like a tidal wave, and they grew increasingly stronger. The second spin was twice the strength of the first, the third spin was thrice the strength of the first, and so on!

Long Chen did not let his guard down in the face of Suxue’s attacks. She was using an actual intermediate Emperor-tier combat technique after all, and that was probably one of Bai Lan’s strongest techniques too.

Long Chen took out the Three Thousand Star Clusters and injected his essence into it. When the first spin arrived in front of him, he unleashed the power of his essence, and the Three Thousand Star Clusters turned into a long whip that struck the first spin, therefore neutralizing its power!

I didn’t know this woman was that strong.

Long Chen could feel the might of the Divine Demon Nine Spins from the first spin alone. Suxue was personally raised by Bai Lan after all. Despite looking like a fragile girl, she was actually terrifying when she was furious!

He used the Three Thousand Star Clusters to shatter two consecutive spins. He was now very familiar with the usage of the Three Thousand Star Clusters, and once his cultivation improved, he would be able to discover the Seven Star Lord’s most powerful combat technique inside the Three Thousand Star Clusters!

Other than the Three Thousand Star Clusters itself, that combat technique was actually the most powerful part of the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance!

“Third Spin, Moving the Mountains!”

Suxue gave a loud cry. Her beautiful face was frosty and she released an immense amount of essence, which turned into an image of the Divine Demon that charged at Long Chen!

She’s so fierce! It looked like Suxue was fighting him for real. Long Chen knew that he had genuinely offended the woman now. He gritted his teeth, injected all of his strength into the Three Thousand Star Clusters, and swung it as hard as he could. It blocked Suxue’s third spin!

After the third spin failed, Suxue launched her fourth spin, which was even stronger. Long Chen squinted. He activated his Dragon Soul Transformation, increasing his capabilities to the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage. At this level, he was strong enough to duel Suxue directly.

Now that he was stronger, he effortlessly shattered her fourth spin with his Three Thousand Star Clusters.

Suxue did not let up. Very soon, the fifth spin arrived. The image of the Divine Demon spun in front of him, and it was much stronger than the previous attack.

Is she really fighting with all her strength? Women are scary. Having no other choice, Long Chen could only retaliate with an even stronger attack, subsequently destroying the fifth, sixth, and seventh spins. While the Divine Demon Nine Spins was indeed an impressive technique, Suxue still could not use it to its full extent at her current level!

“Long Chen!” Suxue cried with embarrassment and anger in her eyes. One by one, her attacks had been shattered, and her determination to teach him a lesson intensified. She launched her eighth spin, which flew at Long Chen!

You scary woman … Long Chen turned and swung the Three Thousand Star Clusters. The purple celestial Qi on it turned into a long dragon. Then it collided with the Divine Demon image!

“Haargh!” The powerful attack sent Suxue flying backwards. Long Chen had limited his strength so he would not bring her any harm. She was a good girl after all, and he could not bear to hurt her. After today, he started to know her on a deeper level. Although she usually seemed bold, she was actually just an inexperienced, innocent young woman.

Suxue did a flip mid-air, and her essence aggregated at her chest. Her clothes flapped loudly in the air. With her expression still icy, she descended from the sky and launched the final spin at Long Chen!

“Ninth Spin, Divine Demon Spin!”

The Divine Demon image suddenly split into nine, with each section turning into a tornado, each flying at Long Chen from a different direction.

“Why?” Long Chen was puzzled. Why was she still attacking him?

If Long Chen launched another attack, he could quickly destroy her Divine Demon Spin, but he was just showing mercy.

“You’re a jerk!”

Suxue’s insult came from above. When Long Chen looked up, he saw that the girl was already crying. His decision yesterday had indeed hurt her, and before that, he had even teased her a little bit …

Indeed, fooling around has a price …

The mighty Divine Demon Spin arrived in front of him immediately. This attack was very powerful, but the crowd was not really worried. If Long Chen used that terrifying technique he had used against Jin Ling, he could surely defeat it.

But to everyone’s shock, Long Chen put away the Three Thousand Star Clusters at the last moment. Then he opened his arms so the Divine Demon Spin slammed into his chest without obstruction!

Boom!

Everyone was stunned, including Bai Lan and Lei Ji. Neither of them had expected this!

“Oh no!” Bai Lan’s face changed.

He knew that Suxue was throwing a tantrum, but Long Chen was a mature person. Why was he now playing into her tantrum?

Long Chen was going to face Wu Guangyu tomorrow, so if he was hurt, how would he fight? Let Suxue fight Wu Guangyu?

That was definitely off the table.

Bai Lan could not figure it out. To him, Long Chen could have ignored Suxue’s tantrum because she would have recovered soon enough. Was it necessary to get beaten up?

And why did he have to wait until the ninth spin of the Divine Demon Nine Spins?

The one in most disbelief was Suxue. When she saw that Long Chen was hurt, tears fell from her eyes …
