Chapter 1043


“Where is the Earth Flame?”


Long Chen only saw Lei Long and Huo Long in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . The flame leopard was nowhere to be seen .


Huo Long let out a roar, and a foot-long flame dragon flew out and intimately coiled around Long Chen’s arm . It rubbed against him like a child sucking up .


“You… you ate it?!” Looking at Huo Long’s guilty actions, Long Chen became speechless .


He suddenly felt like he had done something foolish . If you had a cat watch over a fish, the results would be obvious to anyone .


“Fine, if you ate it, you ate it . I won’t blame you . ” Seeing the flame dragon continuously rubbing against his arm like it was afraid he would curse it, Long Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly .


Hearing that, Huo Long let out an excited roar . Its body suddenly lit up, and a powerful aura rose from it .


“What the f.u.c.k, you were conning me?!” shouted Long Chen .


Huo Long had really only swallowed the Earth Flame Beast into its stomach . It hadn’t killed it . But once Long Chen said that he didn’t blame it, it immediately devoured the Earth Flame .


Those fierce fluctuations coming from it were the result of it merging with the flame leopard . Long Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . This little fellow was too evil .


If he had instead become furious upon hearing that it had devoured it, it would have handed over the flame leopard . But since he didn’t blame it, it immediately devoured the flame leopard . He was speechless .


“Fine, fine, go ahead . But I don’t have time for you to descend into slumber . You’ll have to spend a longer amount of time digesting it this time . I need you to do work for me,” said Long Chen .


Since the flame leopard had already been devoured, the work he had been planning for it would have to be taken up by Huo Long . Eating things always came with a price .


However, there was still some time, so Long Chen had Huo Long first devour a bit of its new energy and get accustomed to its power . After all, Huo Long had now devoured two new Earth Flames .


The previous Earth Flame hadn’t been fully digested yet, and now Huo Long had devoured an even stronger Earth Flame . To completely digest all that energy would take a long time . And if it didn’t descend into slumber, it wouldn’t be able to focus one hundred percent on refining that energy, which would prolong the digestion time even more .


Right now, it was too late to complain, so there was no point in being petty . But Long Chen was comforted to see that the little fellow’s intelligence was so high . It actually knew how to play such a trick on him .


That was a good thing . The higher its intelligence, the more it could help him . Furthermore, Huo Long would only get stronger after refining the two Earth Flames’ essences .


After settling this matter, Long Chen checked the time and his expression drastically changed . He had almost messed up .


He said a hurried goodbye to Guo Ran and rushed off the mountain into a large palace at the front courtyard of the Xuantian Dao Sect .


The main hall was already completely full of sitting disciples . However, the teacher hadn’t arrived yet, which allowed Long Chen to relax .


This was his afternoon cla.s.s and an important one to Long Chen, as it was one discussing the principles of the Pill Dao .


With his Pill G.o.d memories, these principles were useless, nothing more than child’s play to him .


But his real goal was the Alchemy Pavilion . He needed the Alchemy Pavilion to provide him with resources . With that, he would be able to quickly strengthen the Dragonblood Legion .


Due to Huo Long’s matter, Long Chen was almost late . This was the final cla.s.s on the Pill Dao, and if he missed it, he wouldn’t have a chance to become a disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion .


Within the Xuantian Dao Sect, inner sect disciples had great authority and could freely join professions they enjoyed or were skilled in to do some side work .


“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, over here! There’s s.p.a.ce here . ” As soon as Long Chen arrived, a few women beckoned to him .


Long Chen’s battle with Que Xinyan had deeply shaken everyone . Amongst the new disciples, there was no one who didn’t recognize him . The fact that Long Chen had fought so bravely to get revenge for his fellow disciples had touched many people’s hearts . Long Chen’s wild and domineering aura felt especially fresh and dangerous to women in the springtime of their youth .


Long Chen awkwardly smiled and said, “Thank you, but I’m fine here . My brothers are already here . ”


Amongst these disciples, there were three disciples of the Dragonblood Legion . They were new members, and seeing Long Chen arrive, they quickly made s.p.a.ce for him .


Those women were a bit disappointed, but his polite refusal didn’t draw any anger . Instead, they felt even more admiration . A true hero should be gentle and refined normally, and should only become a devil G.o.d once they encountered powerful enemies .


His conduct was the complete opposite of certain people . Those people normally brandished their claws at others to appear domineering, but when the true life and death battle came, they would p.i.s.s themselves .


“Quiet!”


Just as a disturbance was caused by Long Chen’s arrival, a person walked into the room and shouted .


This was an elder wearing embroidered robes . His sleeves and collar had designs made of golden threads, which were round like b.u.t.tons, but they were actually the designs of medicinal ingredients .


The elder’s forehead was a bit narrow, while his mouth was a bit big . However, his lips were very thin . Seeing him, Long Chen grumbled inside .


Although he liked to spout nonsense that he could read faces, the truth was that he was very sensitive to a person’s nature through the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art . He could tell a person’s general character with practically just a glance .


This elder’s face embodied the words sharp, cold, harsh, and sour . This was the hardest kind of person to form relations with . Long Chen would rather have dealings with a Magical Beast than such a person .


“How many times have you been told that as soon as you enter the main hall, you are attending cla.s.s and are not here to make a ruckus?” reprimanded the elder . His gaze swept over everyone, but when he saw Long Chen, he paused slightly .


Long Chen’s heart dropped . He sensed extremely obvious hostility . What was going on? He had no enmity with him .


“Reporting to teacher, it was Long Chen’s late arrival that caused the disturbance . It has nothing to do with us . ” A disciple with a pockmarked face stood and reported .


The disciples beside Long Chen were all infuriated . This tattletale was intentionally framing Long Chen .


This teacher was famed for his strictness, and this person was intentionally trying to humiliate Long Chen . The pockmarked disciple glanced at Long Chen deliberately before sitting back down .


He came from the Flame Gate . In other words, he was one of Que Xinyan’s subordinates . The Dragonblood Legion and the Flame Gate were like water and fire now, so he naturally wouldn’t mind taking this opportunity to throw a stone at Long Chen .


“Is that true, Long Chen?” demanded the teacher .


“Reporting to teacher, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen wasn’t late . What happened was-” A woman stood up to Long Chen’s defense . Long Chen truly hadn’t been late . He had managed to get in at the last second .


“Shut up . Who let you randomly open your mouth in the cla.s.sroom? If it happens again, I’ll kick you out . My Alchemy Pavilion doesn’t need disciples that don’t understand the rules,” shouted the teacher .


The female disciple’s eyes reddened . She sat down, not daring to make another sound .


“I didn’t arrive late . The truth is-” Long Chen shook his head .


“Shameful! Did your family elders never teach you to stand when speaking to teachers?!” shouted the elder .


Long Chen was enraged . His greatest taboo was when people mentioned his family elders, as his only family elders were his father and mother .


He forcibly suppressed his rage and slowly stood . “I didn’t arrive late . I got here just in time . ”


“In my alchemy cla.s.ses, I stress that only arriving a quarter hour earlier counts as being on time . You arrived late, but you’re still quibbling . Your family’s upbringing really was lacking . For you to sneak your way into the Xuantian Dao Sect is regretful for the sect,” sneered the teacher .


“I was injured, so I wasn’t able to attend the previous cla.s.ses . And so-” Long Chen took a deep breath and once more suppressed his fury . The Alchemy Pavilion was important to him . He had to get in, or it would greatly affect the cultivation speed of the Dragonblood Legion .


“Don’t try and find excuses . I only care about the results . And right now, what I see is a coward trying to find excuses and trying to s.h.i.+rk his responsibility . It’s no wonder you were stripped of your core disciple spot just a few hours after obtaining it . The fact that a person with no sense of discipline or responsibility could become an inner sect disciple is a humiliation to the Xuantian Dao Sect . If you have any sense of shame, you’ll leave now . I will not permit such an undisciplined person to attend my cla.s.s,” said the teacher as he walked right in front of Long Chen .


Long Chen unconsciously clenched his fists so hard that they creaked . He was sure this teacher was intentionally making things hard on him .


He saw a pleased expression in the teacher’s eyes . This was clearly a trap . He was intentionally insulting him and kicking him out .


“Boss, let’s go . We’re not attending this garbage cla.s.s . ” The Dragonblood Legion’s new warriors stood up .


Even they could see that this teacher was intentionally insulting Long Chen . It was completely overboard .


For anyone to humiliate Long Chen, who was like a G.o.d to them, was completely unacceptable . Not even the Xuantian Dao Sect’s famed Alchemy Pavilion’s teacher was an exception .


Calling his cla.s.s garbage was already expressing their rage . Although the Alchemy Pavilion was a sacred place, compared to the position Long Chen had in their hearts, there was no comparison .


“Undisciplined brats, all of you can scram!” roared the teacher .


“f.u.c.k the h.e.l.l off!” Long Chen finally couldn’t bear it any longer, and in front of everyone’s stunned gazes, his fist landed right in the middle of that teacher’s cold face .
