Chapter 814 - Belief

“Let me do it first.” Suxue smiled with her pretty, flower-like face. She extended her slender arm and took out a wooden ball from inside the box. A two-in-one chance, and luckily, she picked number four.

That meant the final ball inside the box was number one.

Everyone else knew how strong Long Chen was after he injured Feng Liu. All of them had accepted that Long Chen was now as strong as Jin Ling and Wu Guangyu. And now Long Chen was going to face Jin Ling. The two fighters with unlimited potential were going to fight each other! Everyone was looking forward to the match tomorrow.

“Long Chen?” Jin Ling was surprised, but he smiled devilishly. “I knew that we would get to fight each other one day. I never thought it would be so soon. Good, I can kill you and then focus on defeating Wu Guangyu on the final day.”

“Dream on. How about you try protecting your life tomorrow?” Long Chen scoffed before he returned to Bai Lan’s side with Suxue.

“We shall wait and see.” Jin Ling said nothing else and returned to the Five Element Alliance. Except for Jin Ling and Long Chen’s match, the results for two out of the three matches tomorrow were more or less set in stone. The battle between the Five Elements Alliance was going to be very boring.

“You’ve always been so lucky. Never thought you would be unlucky today.” Lei Ji patted Long Chen’s chest and chuckled.

“It’s not too bad. It will be easy enough for me to smack that bastard senseless until he calls for his parents tomorrow,” Long Chen said.

Ever since Ling Xi left him, Long Chen had become very silent and mature.

He was once a hooligan who prowled the streets, but the more he killed, the more icy his character became. It was only when Long Chen realized this fact recently that he gradually became more optimistic. His mood improved over time.

Long Chen turned and saw Mo Xiaolang still standing with the Divine and Wind clans. He revealed a faint smile as a sign of respect and encouragement for Long Chen.

Defeat them and we can set out towards our next goal, the Three Emperor Territory!

Mo Xiaolang was the only person who had accompanied Long Chen from the start!

They had met in Baiyang Town a long time ago.

For sworn brothers, a single look was more than enough to convey each other’s feelings.

“When did you learn to boast like that?” Suxue looked at Long Chen with confusion.

“I didn’t learn it, it’s a natural part of my personality. You’ve just been fooled by me this whole time,” Long Chen said with a chuckle.

Why was he in a good mood?

That was because Long Chen could finally head to the Three Emperor Territory soon after accomplishing the next few goals. He was certain that he could finally enter that legendary place. The day where he could meet Ling Xi was finally approaching.

He wanted to give her a massive surprise.

The more he thought about meeting her, the more excited he became.

His calm heart gradually started to beat faster due to the excitement. His arrogant and haughty personality gradually awakened at this point. It didn’t mean that he had become childish; it was just a personification of his ruthlessness.

It would be a mistake for the others to think that Long Chen was a rash and shortsighted man.

After experiencing so much, Long Chen’s personality was not something most people could comprehend.

“Return here at noon tomorrow. That’s when the official match will start. I know you are tired today, so let’s find a place to rest. We can rush here tomorrow so maybe it's good to head back to Heavenly Wood City to rest.”

Bai Lan was very satisfied with the results today, so he smiled happily.

The people from the Divine Wind Faction and the Five Element Alliance gradually left. No one wanted to stay at the dilapidated ruins.

Long Chen returned to the Heavenly Wood City with Bai Lan and the others. Thankfully, the Eternal Battlefield wasn’t large, so it didn’t take long to arrive. Bai Lan cleared out some space, and night soon fell.

Everyone raised a bonfire and got some beast meat to eat. It was nothing short of a party for them tonight.

“You guys can relax tonight. It’s up to you two to fight for the Yellow Emperor Key tomorrow,” Bai Lan instructed.

“Don’t worry, Father. I will work hard. I know that I can reach the top four,” Suxue said.

“Four? You are not very ambitious, then. Can you still consider yourself my daughter?” Bai Lan raised his eyebrow and feigned anger.

“Haha, I know. You are placing all of your hopes on me. It’s already good enough to enter the top four spots with Long Chen participating.”

“What a worrisome brat you are,” Bai Lan chided in a playful manner.

After talking for a brief moment, Long Chen went to the edge of the party to start cultivating. He never wasted time, and Suxue was embarrassed by how hard he was working. Cultivation was boring and not everyone could do it like Long Chen. Repeating something again and again without getting bored was something only Long Chen could achieve.

Even though Suxue was a young genius at the Ninth Earthly Martial Stage, she felt nauseous whenever she heard the word “cultivation.” But Long Chen had never faced that issue before.

A person’s beliefs were the largest motivators to become strong.

Long Chen had absorbed a lot of the Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon’s Inherited Blood Essence, so his potential was not something that could be replicated. But it was because of his belief that he could reach his current stage.

Because of his stubbornness, he had never felt tired.

If Ling Xi hadn’t left him and he hadn’t managed to get her the Nine Heaven Immortal Fruit, Long Chen wouldn’t even have reached the Earthly Martial Realm at this point. It was because of his belief that he had endured cultivation.

Long Chen was not afraid of Jin Ling or Wu Guangyu. He was confident, though not because he was stronger, but because his belief was stronger than theirs! Many fights ended in favor of the person who persevered even though both parties were equally matched.

“Xue’er, what are you going to do with Long Chen?” Both Bai Lan and Suxue were watching Long Chen cultivate.

“What else can I do? He’s a hard-working, monstrous genius. I’ve never seen anyone that could cultivate nonstop for days. It’s like he’s rushing to get into his next life.”

“No. Not reincarnate into his next life, but to prove himself.” Bai Lan nodded with a knowing look.

“Huh?” Suxue didn’t understand.

Bai Lan gently stroked Suxue’s soft, long hair. His eyes were filled with love as he explained, “I announced to the world that he is your fiance, but that was just to protect him. Even though I wanted to pair you together, it appears that he already has someone in his heart. Those who fall in love always suffer the most. The boy is a wanderer and will one day disappear, so it’s best that you just be yourself and stay as my beloved daughter, alright?”

“Father...” Bai Lan's words were indeed a bit deep, but Suxue understood. She nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I don’t have any feelings for that bastard. It’s just that my little sister seems to like him, so I had to get close too.”

“That’s good.” Bai Lan smiled and went off to do something else.

The bonfire was still burning, but the lady’s heart cooled down.

“He’s a wanderer?” She looked at Long Chen’s silhouette, mesmerized.

Long Chen had reached the Eighth Earthly Martial Stage very recently, so he needed time to solidify his base. He had used a lot of essence today and needed to replenish it before the fight tomorrow.

He was going to fight Jin Ling at noon.

But there was one more issue that Long Chen was worried about.

“Little Cat.”

“What did you call me for?” Little Cat sprung out of the Primordial Realm and rolled around with his furry body. He didn’t look very athletic at all.

“When I was facing off against Wu Guangyu, I saw a Five-Colored Altar. Did you see that too?” Long Chen whispered.

“I did. It was quite a strange thing. I think it's an invisible seal. I suppose you need to use a special item at a specific time frame to open it. Maybe there’s treasure inside, or maybe there’s a hidden space.”

“Is that so? Five-Colored Altar... It must be related to the Five Emperors. I need to go there and check it out. Wouldn’t it be a waste if we didn’t inspect it? But it’s strange that only I was able to see it.”

Little Cat chuckled. “You think you can go? Bai Lan and Lei Ji are afraid that you will get assassinated, so they are quite literally staring at you right now. If you go there and encounter anyone from the Wind clan, Divine clan, or the Five Element Alliance, you will be wiped out instantly.”

“How about you go, then?” Long Chen chuckled.

That was his goal.

“What do I get in return? I don’t do things without a reward,” Little Cat said seriously.

“Don’t worry. Once you can use your ‘Divine Weapon,’ I will catch a harem of cats. They won’t be strong, but they will definitely be beautiful.” Long Chen smiled deviously.
