Chapter 182 Everyone Advancing
This night was fated not to be an ordinary night . Explosions continuously rang out on the small mountain Long Chen was on, and powerful auras continued to surge out .
If they weren’t afraid to startled others, some of them would have shouted out in joy . With the assistance of the Magical Beast essence blood, they had all smoothly advanced .
Furthermore they found that once they had advanced, their physical strength had explosively grown at least ten times . Circulating their auras, they found there was not even the slightest bit of resistance, meaning they had reached the level of a faultless advancement .
Once in the Muscle Rebirth realm, once qi and blood superimposed, when your qi and physical power complimented each other, your strength would reach a hard to imagine level .
That was the terrifying expect of the Muscle Rebirth realm . There was also the saying in the cultivation world, ‘three levels a chasm’ . The meaning was that in cultivation, whenever you ran into ‘three’, there would be a large heavenly chasm separating levels .
In terms of the minor realms, the third Heavenstage represented a large dividing line . From the initial to mid stages was large gap that was difficult to leap across .
The sixth Heavenstage and ninth Heavenstage were multiples of three and also followed that reasoning . The difficulty at those levels jumped . But once you were past those levels, your combat strength would also increase greatly .
And so with multiples of three as the foundation, the early, mid and late stages were clear dividing marks that were difficult to cross .
And the Muscle Rebirth realm would be the major realm’s first third . First Qi Condensation, then Blood Condensation, and then finally third was Muscle Rebirth .
So the families of these genius disciples viewed this realm as incredibly important . They even sent their talented junior generation to the Xuantian Monastery despite the danger of dying, all for this faultless advancement .
They were all geniuses who possessed at least Bronze Spirit Roots . Adding on a faultless advancement, their foundations were now as steady as Mt Tai . Their combat strength would also be absolutely shocking .
That was also why these geniuses were able to easily kill the secular world’s Muscle Rebirth experts, but in front of their senior apprentice-brothers who were also Muscle Rebirth experts, were unable to even say a word .
The difference between the secular world and cultivation world’s Muscle Rebirth experts was so great that they were simply not on the same level . Now these geniuses had also broken through to Muscle Rebirth .
Although their auras had yet to stabilize since they had only just broken through, they were completely confident that even a hundred of the secular world’s Muscle Rebirth experts would be unable to harm them in the slightest . That was the confidence that came from a faultless advancement .
“A spring breeze suddenly blew by; thousands of trees burst into blossom[1] . ” Watching the rising sun, Long Chen was emotionally moved into muttering this line .
A light laugh came from behind Long Chen . Tang Wan-er was smiling, appearing like a goddess with the backdrop of the red sunrise .
She laughed, “Why does such a beautiful verse end up sounding so sorrowful from your mouth? Are you still bitter?”
Long Chen rolled his eyes . “Do you even have to ask? Everyone is blooming while I’m not advancing at all . ”
Tang Wan-er laughed even more when she saw how aggrieved he was . Gently patting his shoulder, she put on the likeness of a big sister and said, “Don’t worry, now that big sis has advanced to the Muscle Rebirth realm, and with a perfect advancement, I guarantee I won’t let you suffer any loss . ”
When she had advanced, the ancestral mark on her forehead had once more appeared, lighting up the entire cave and causing her aura to surge .
At that time Long Chen had been very amazed . Now with what she said, he immediately understood that that was perhaps a manifestation of a perfect advancement .
Seeing how pleased Tang Wan-er was, although he didn’t get jealous, he still didn’t exactly like this feeling . Did he really need to rely on a woman to protect him? Then would he even be Long Chen?
“What? You don’t believe I can protect you?” asked Tang Wan-er when she how sulky he was .
Long Chen shook his head . “I believe you can protect me, but I feel like a beautiful woman like you… has a temperament which changes like the fickle weather . I feel like if you really want to protect me, you should just give your heart to me, that way I’ll be relieved- aiya!”
Long Chen hadn’t even finished talking before Tang Wan-er gave him kick in the butt .
“You immoral girl, is this how you show interest in my butt?” raged Long Chen . Now that she had advanced to the Muscle Rebirth realm, her kicks were now capable of greatly hurting him .
Tang Wan-er ground her teeth . “Interested? Of course I’m interested . I’m interested in all of you! Did you forget how you bullied me at the beginning? But I remembered everything . Big sis can finally take some revenge today . ”
With a wave of her hand, heaven and earth shook as a wild gale that could be seen with the visible eye enveloped Long Chen . That was Tang Wan-er’s wind energy .
This time there really was not even the slightest omen of her making her move . After advancing to Muscle Rebirth, the wind energy in her body had become so powerful that she could move it at will without storing up any power .
Long Chen was completely shocked . Who knew how many times stronger her wind energy had become; he was completely unable to dodge .
“Aiiyaa!” Long Chen let out a sharp cry as he was picked up by the wild hurricane and spun around .
“Hehe, I really didn’t expect that you were this good of a dancer . You’re definitely most handsome like this,” Tang Wan-er laughed, clapping her hands excitedly .
Ever since meeting Long Chen, it seemed she had always been the one at the disadvantage, being teased and taken advantage of by Long Chen . Now she finally had a chance to play with Long Chen .
“Heeyyy, stop!!!” cried Long Chen .
“Nope, can’t stop won’t stop . Having bullied me for so long, big sis is going to get some revenge . ” How could Tang Wan-er release Long Chen so easily?
“Stop, I’m dizzy! I’m going to throw up!”
Tang Wan-er was startled, seeing that Long Chen’s face truly was green and it didn’t seem as if he was faking . She quickly released her wind energy and put on a pleased smile . “Fine, this time I’ll let you off . Let’s see if you dare again- ah!”
As soon as Long Chen was released, he dizzily stumbled around, crashing into Tang Wan-er head-on as she was lecturing him . The two of them tumbled to the ground .
This time Long Chen was not doing it on purpose . He really was incredibly dizzy . Back when he was a child and would play spin the circle, he would only be able to spin ten times before getting noxious .
As for just now, he had been spun by Tang Wan-er over a hundred times . It went without saying that even an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to bear it .
And it was even worse for Long Chen since he was so easily spun dizzy . If Tang Wan-er had continued, he really would have thrown up .
When she had released him, he had immediately felt the world spinning around him . Stars spun all around his head . Unable to stay standing, he had been looking for something to grab onto as support when he had fallen onto a goddess .
Tang Wan-er was scared witless for a moment after being hugged by Long Chen like this . Her heart pounded and her face was already completely red . For some reason she also an unknown feeling creeping into her heart .
That kind of feeling was extremely strange to her . Smelling the male scent coming from his body, she forgot to struggle .
“What are you guys doing??” Qing Yu had just broken through to Muscle Rebirth . Previously it had been Tang Wan-er guarding her . But now that she had finished and she walked out, she immediately saw Long Chen hugging Tang Wan-er with both of them on the ground .
Tang Wan-er let out a startled cry and pushed Long Chen away, her face red as an apple and unable to say anything .
“Wan-er, you’re bullying Long Chen again!” Qing Yu sighed dejectedly .
“What?! It’s clearly Long Chen bullying me!” Tang Wan-er felt a bit wronged .
“The facts are right in front of you . Look at Long Chen; his eyes are blue, his skin is green, his lips are purple…”
Qing Yu’s voice continuously rang out in Long Chen’s ears . As he felt heaven and earth spinning around him, he still could hear that voice completely clearly . When exactly had he become so multi-colored?
Two hours later, Long Chen Tang Wan-er walked out of their immortal cave with their heads down . The two of them had clearly been scolded by Qing Yu for that entire time .
Tang Wan-er apologetically said, “Sorry, I didn’t know you were weak to this . ”
That also couldn’t be blamed on Tang Wan-er . Who would have imagined someone as powerful as Long Chen was afraid of being spun?
“Ah, I only have that one weak point, but it’s been noticed by you . You’ll need to keep that secret for me,” bitterly said Long Chen .
Tang Wan-er nodded and made solemnly vowed, “I promise I’ll never tell anyone . ”
Looking at the apologetic Tang Wan-er, Long Chen put on an aggrieved expression . “Just now I was spun so dizzy that I wasn’t able to carefully feel the sensation of hugging a beautiful woman . Then sister Wan-er, can you have some pity on junior brother and let me feel it once more?”
“Long Chen, are you asking for a spanking?” Tang Wan-er raised her small fist at him .
“Ugh, fine . I find you’re really becoming more and more petty . ” Long Chen shook his head .
“Scoundrel, what does this have to do with being petty?!”
“Hey, oh beautiful woman, pay more attention to your words and expressions . You’re our Heaven Earth Faction’s old boss, the true representative of our faction . Remember not to embarrass us,” reminded Long Chen .
“Wasn’t this because you angered me?!” Tang Wan-er snorted . “And what do you mean old boss? It’s faction leader, thank you very much! Why does everything that comes out of your mouth end up sounding so vexatious?”
“Ah, I guess you can be called the head or perhaps boss . Right, boss, where are you bringing me?” asked Long Chen .
“We’re going to the Xuantian pavilion to get our personal rations as well as the faction rations . Didn’t you say you wanted to gather many ingredients? As long as you have enough points, you can obtain anything within the Xuantian pavilion . So this time I’m going to give you my points to use as well . Raising your strength is the most important,” explained Tang Wan-er .
Looking at Tang Wan-er, he was truly moved inside . Tang Wan-er truly was a good leader . “Sister Wan-er, I-”
“Don’t pretend to be moved . Tch, I really despise you . ” Tang Wan-er directly cut him off, turning her head and not facing him .
Long Chen was wooden for a moment . It seemed their pattern had changed now . Before he could even say anything, his intentions were completely seen through by her . That was quite the blow to his confidence .
On their way, the two of them ran into quite a few people . But the majority of those people were strangers . The only familiar faces they saw were from Ye Zhiqiu’s faction . Those people greeted them politely before walking away .
