<h4>Chapter 68 - Burning Devil Sun Fist</h4>
The skies darkened and soon it was night. Everything ended without a fuss because Huang Xiang had left early.
Long Chen inspected a steel token inside one of the hotel’s rooms.
“It’s been days since I’ve obtained it, but I didn’t have the time to check it. Xiao Xi, what do you think we should do with it?”
Long Chen was slightly disgruntled from the fight today. Even though their strength was almost equal, Huang Xiang had just barelye out on top.
In the past, he had always been the one who surprised and dominated others, but to think the situation had been reversed this time. Huang Xiang was also the one who had insulted him first!
While he did not say it aloud, he felt like he had been wronged.
Ling Xi was also interested in the steel token, but she also hadn’t had the time to inspect it. She popped out of the Ling Xi Sword and circled the steel token with a minute body before sitting on the table. She then propped her chin up and she frowned.
“What’s wrong?”
“This is a key to an inheritance. Normally, you can only use it once you find the tomb or the site where the inheritance is located, but there seems to be a faint presence of a seal on it. I’m not sure ...”
Ling Xi racked her brain trying to figure it out while Long Chen kept quiet. After a few moments, she leaped up in joy. “I know! This must be an invisible seal!”
“An invisible seal?”
“It’s a type of seal designed to be as discreet as possible. For it to be as invisible and discreet as possible, as little Qi as possible is used to construct it. As such, there’s almost always some kind of limitation to the seal. Thankfully, I’m an expert in such seals as well!”
Ling Xi rolled her eyes at Long Chen expectantly.
Long Chen understood and pleaded with her. “Sister Xi Xi! Please ...”
“You want me to unlock the seal? Give me some herbs that nourish my Divine Soul, then.”
Long Chen agreed. “Alright, alright. Once we get to Yuanling City, I will buy whatever the Dawn Trading Alliance has in their inventory!”
Ling Xi scoffed happily and concentrated on the seal.
She became very serious, a stark contrast with her usual, mischievous look. Long Chen didn’t dare bother her and cultivated silently.
Fifteen minutester, a small light array appeared on the steel token.
Long Chen realized that it was almost done.
“Because it’s an invisible seal, they only used a minute amount of Qi. Hehe, this makes it super easy to unlock for someone as great as me!”
Ling Xi boasted even though she was still unlocking the seal.
She wanted to show how useful she was after what he had said to her during the wedding dinner of the Bai family and Yang family, as well as when they were fighting for the Ascension Fruits.
“If you say something stupid like that one more time, I will not help you!”
“Alright, I’m sorry. You are as great as the ...”
Ling Xi finished soon after. The moment she did, she immediately ran back into the Ling Xi Sword!
She had done the very same thing when she unlocked the seal on the Dragon Seal.
“Nobody knows what will happen when a seal is opened. If it exploded, it could’ve damaged my soul, so I had to retreat to safety.”
Long Chen focused on the steel token. Fire slowly spread out from it, burning a massive hole in the table. The fire continued to spread.
This caused him to panic. If the steel token exploded like it did back at the Burning Heaven Mountain Range, Yuanyang City would be done for!
Thankfully, the fire stopped when it was half a meter in diameter. The steel token was engulfed within an orb of fire and slowly floated upwards.
Long Chen was curious about what was happening when a blurry face appeared within the fire. A mysterious pressure focused on Long Chen, rendering him immobile.
The fiery face took one look at him and disappeared, but his words lingered within Long Chen’s ears.
“To think you even found out about the invisible seal. Not bad ... I hope you won’t sully my inheritance ...”
The ancient voice sent a shiver down Long Chen’s spine. Thankfully, it soon disappeared, leaving nothing but questions in his heart.
“Why did a face suddenly appear in the fire?”
“Maybe it’s the one who left the inheritance. He’s probably dead now, but he should have been very powerful when he was still alive, considering how he managed to leave a mark of his soul on a steel token like this.”
As soon as she said that, something happened to the steel token. After the face disappeared, the fire slowly retreated into the token. The raging fire slowly became threads of fire and branded themselves onto the steel token, leaving lines of sentences on its surface. Long Chen was surprised to see how small the words were.
Each character was as small as an ant, and there were thousands of words engraved neatly on such a tiny medium. He was also surprised by how well he could read it.
“This ... This is a martial technique!”
Ling Xi was surprised to see what the characters were! To think Long Chen’s biggest w could be remedied so soon.
The words on the steel token shimmered continuously while Long Chen memorized each single sentence.
“Intermediate ck-tier martial technique, Burning Devil Sun Fist.”
Long Chen was equally surprised and happy!
The fire soon dissipated, and the steel token reverted to its normal form. Long Chen threw it back into his Universe Pouch and let out augh.
“Burning Devil Sun Fist. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect ... Everything in this universe is separated into Yin and Yang, with Yang representing Fire and Yin representing water. The burning devil sun incinerates the heavens and engulfs the earth ... This technique is much stronger than the Dragon Seal. It’s stronger than the Wheel of Glory from Huang Xiang as well. If my guess is correct, the Wheel of Glory is a ck-tier martial technique, making it weaker than the Burning Devil Sun Fist.”
Long Chen slowly digested the meaning of the technique and asked, “Xiao Xi, who do you think the person who left the inheritance was? It seems the Burning Devil Sun Fist was his weakest technique, but this is already very strong in my opinion.”
Ling Xi pouted. “I have no idea. While this technique is indeed strong, you should be able to get something even better when you enter his tomb.”
“Is that so?”
Long Chen recalled how Huang Xiang had to resort to using the ck-tier martial technique just to win against him. He chuckled.
<i>Let’s see if you still dare to rob my horse after I’ve learned this technique!</i>
Long Chen was painfully clear of his current strength. He was still at the Eighth Draconic Stage, but once he entered the Ninth Draconic Stage, he could instantly enter the Divine Dan Realm with the Ascension Fruit. At that point, his strength would increase beyond a hundred-fold!
<i>My strength will grow greatly once I learn the Burning Devil Sun Fist ...</i>
Thinking about his objective of going to Yuanling City and how the Yang family was constantly living under the threat of the Blood Saints, he steeled his heart. The Blood Saints was an organization with an Earthly Core Realm cultivator. The entire Yang family could be wiped out if they were to find out what had happened!
Yang Xueqing, Yang Lingqing, and everyone else were people Long Chen wouldy his life down to protect!
<i>I am still weak! From today onwards, my mission is to be stronger! The Blood Saints are the type of people who would never forgive the Yang family when they found out the truth ...</i>
Long Chen felt like a mountain was ced on his heart when he thought about the Blood Saints. The pressure was so intense that he almost couldn’t breathe.
Every single part of his body was responding to his will to be stronger. And this will nted its seed deep into his heart.
<i>My most important objective right now is to participate in the Lingwu family’s qualifiers and pass it! I might only be an Eighth Draconic Stage cultivator, but as long as I show that I’m stronger than someone at the Ninth Draconic Stage, I should be able to enter the Lingwu family with ease. Huang Xiang is also trying his luck to enter the Lingwu family, so we should meet again.</i>
Long Chen saw that it was still quite some time before daybreak, so he closed his eyes and researched the Burning Devil Sun Fist technique.
The Dragon Jade Pendant in his sea of consciousness flowed, and Long Chen felt hisprehension skills skyrocketing. He could easilyprehend the difficult sentences of the martial technique.
<i>No martial technique will be too hard for me with the help of the Dragon Jade Pendant. </i>
The night soon passed and day came, but he did not stop. Long Chen researched the technique without rest until noon.
“So this is what the zing me looks like ...”
As much as he wanted to continue, Long Chen had to stop because it was time to go.
“It takes two days to reach Yuanling City, so you need to go now. Don’t forget the herbs you promised me! Hmph!”
Long Chen smiled at Ling Xi’s cute, pouting face. “Alright, alright. Long Chen, at your service!”
They went downstairs, and Ling Xi noticed that everyone was staring at them strangely. “Hm? Why are they staring at us?”
Long Chen only noticed it after she told him. Everyone was avoiding his gaze, especially the busboy, who tried to run away after seeing him.
Long Chen held him up and was about to ask him when the busboy cried, “Sir ... Sir, it’s not my fault! Your horse was killed by Young Master Huang. It’s not my fault!”
“What?!”
Long Chen was pissed!
