Long Chen took one full day and one full night to successfully cultivate the steel-like core of the Recovery Fruit.

More and more cracks appeared on the core until it broke. At that moment, a thick surge of energy that resembled medicinal power flowed into Long Chen’s veins in a fixed route!

“Remember the pathway this energy flows in!”

Ling Xi’s reminder made Long Chen recall the time he received the Blood Transmutation and Dragon Soul Transformation techniques. He only learned them because he remembered the pathways his Qi flowed in at the time. Now, he did the same thing by memorizing the route that this energy, which seemed to have appeared spontaneously, flowed.

The energy disappeared soon after it appeared. Long Chen felt refreshed, perhaps because the Recovery Fruit also possessed medicinal power.

But the new combat technique ...

Ling Xi eyed him smugly, then she exclaimed with pride, “How will you ever thank me for this? This combat technique is called a Life Combat Technique. It’s very rare! I doubt a place like this has anything like it!”

“Life Combat Technique?”

Indeed, he hadn’t heard of it.

When she saw his stunned face, she burst into laughter. “Life Combat Techniques, also known as Healing Combat Techniques, are very rare. Only maybe one out of a thousand Combat Techniques is a Healing Combat Technique. That’s rare, don’t you think?”

Long Chen cried, “Xiao Xi, are you saying that a Healing Combat Technique can replace spiritual medicine? Can it heal my wounds? Even during battle?”

“Well, not exactly. It’s best you stay still while you’re using the technique. The healing effects are decent, you don’t need to spend money, and you can use it anywhere and anytime you want. Even low-tier Life Combat Techniques are very desirable!”

“I see ...”

Now that he had a Life Combat Technique, he had better insurance for his own life. Long Chen was grateful from the depths of his heart. “Xiao Xi, you’re so capable! Haha! Quick, tell me! What’s the name of this technique and what level is it?”

“The technique hidden in the Recovery Fruit’s core is naturally named ‘Recovery,’ and it should be an intermediate Black-tier. That also means that you’ll be able to use this Life Combat Technique throughout the time you’re at the Human Core Realm,” said Ling Xi in exasperation as she rolled her eyes.

“Twenty contribution points for an intermediate Black-tier Life Combat Technique! That’s such a good deal! Xiao Xi, you’re my darling girl ...”

“Don’t start. Just get stronger and give me the soul-nourishing herbs you promised me!” Ling Xi didn’t fall for his smooth talking, but knowing that she had helped him left her feeling overjoyed.

“You can try using this technique now since you’ve received quite a few injuries recently. You should take some time to heal to prevent them from leaving chronic problems in your body!”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Long Chen sat cross-legged in the underground room of his quarters, his eyes shut tightly. Then he activated his Life Combat Technique—Recovery.

A faint, white glow enveloped him, and white ripples swirled on his body. Waves of energy scanned Long Chen’s body and slowly healed his injuries ...

“The Recovery Fruit is actually not bad at all!”

He was pleasantly surprised by its effects. He tried activating it again, and the energy that disappeared reappeared once more. It flowed within him in a fixed path, quickly healing a few micro injuries ...

Now that I have Recovery, there’ll always be a chance for me to turn the tables as long as I don’t die in one strike!

With that thought, he was filled with confidence when he recalled the upcoming training exercise in the Heavenly Martial Realm! I’m not an idiot. Why would I go to the Mortal Arena at a time like this? A true duel should happen in a forest! That’s way more exciting!

Time passed slowly as he studied the technique and grew more familiar with it. After about half a day, he heard a knock on his door. He opened it and found that it was Gan Lin.

He followed Gan Lin into Martial Hall. The latter was staring at him with an odd look, though in the end, he sighed and said, “So you’ve really reached the Human Core Realm? You broke through two levels consecutively in such a short time. I don’t know how you did it, you mutant.”

Long Chen shook his head helplessly, smiling. “It was just luck. If something like that happens again, I might not be able to come back.”

Gan Lin knew what he was insinuating. He knew about Liu Lan’s instruction for Long Chen to enter the Heavenly Martial Realm and the fact that she had told Feng Wutian about Long Chen killing Huang Feiyang. “Right, Long Chen. I heard that you and Feng Wutian agreed to duel at the Mortal Arena, but you stood him up today?”

“What are you talking about? I never agreed.”

Long Chen froze.

Gan Lin grinned. “People are now saying that you agreed but didn't have the guts to show up. That’s why your reputation isn’t the best right now ... Madam Administrator’s younger sister is especially unhappy. She’s been telling everyone you’re a cowardly man ...” fr eeweb novel

Long Chen was exasperated, but he didn’t say anything.

“Don’t you want to go out there and defend your name?”

“Defend? What would be the purpose of that? I know my own capabilities. Why would I need to prove myself to people who don’t matter?” Long Chen shrugged.

There was a hint of admiration in Gan Lin’s eyes. He nodded and said, “I came here today mainly to talk to you about the training exercise at the Heavenly Martial Realm for the Turquoise family’s Human Core Realm elite youths happening in seven days.”

“It’s in seven days? And it’s only for Turquoise youths that are at the Human Core Realm?”

Gan Lin nodded and smiled bitterly. “It’s for the elite youths with a potential value of at least three stars and above. For example, I’m at the late Human Core Realm, but I’m old and don’t have much potential, so I don’t get a chance to participate ...”

There was some bitterness in his voice. His fate was more or less certain at this point. Even if he wanted to climb higher, he wouldn’t get the chance. “There are eight halls in the Turquoise family. You can consider it a competition between the eight halls. All the participating disciples of the Turquoise Sun Hall, which consists of ten people working under the five administrators, will form a team with Feng Wutian as the leader. There will be three people from Green Willow Residence, namely you, Feng Wutian, and Liu Ling.”

“He’s the team leader? Doesn’t that mean I’ll be under his command?”

Long Chen was uncomfortable when he thought of Feng Wutian. The guy was indeed strong, and they were enemies. It would be disastrous if he had to listen to his instructions.

Gan Lin smiled bitterly when he saw Long Chen’s icy glare. “For other people, it is imperative that they listen to Feng Wutian. As for you ... I came today because I wanted to give you a suggestion to ignore his instructions. When you enter the Heavenly Martial Realm, find a way to leave and hide. Feng Wutian will be too busy competing for the Supreme Purity Sword, so he won’t have time to disturb you.”

Long Chen was wondering if he could work alone. Based on what Gan Lin was saying, the answer was yes.

Since working alone was allowed, everything would be much easier. But first of all, would Feng Wutian even let him work alone?

Gan Lin’s suggestion made sense. Long Chen was no match for Feng Wutian, and there was a huge possibility that they would get into a fight in the Heavenly Martial Realm. If Long Chen truly had the potential, he had to wait until he caught up to Feng Wutian to fight him.

“Senior Gan, you mentioned the Supreme Purity Sword. Is that the reward for this training exercise?”

Gan Lin nodded with blazing eyes. “The Supreme Purity Sword is an intermediate Black-tier spirit sword. There’s also a Sword Combat Technique hiding within it, named the Supreme Purity Sword Dao. The sword and its technique are considered extraordinary among intermediate Black-tier treasures. It’s a precious treasure that even I’m interested in.”

Long Chen was privately impressed with the generosity of the Lingwu family. Not only were they giving away a spirit sword, it was a spirit sword with a Sword Combat Technique inside.

“How do I get the Supreme Purity Sword?”

Gan Lin replied weakly, “Before the training exercise begins, the Turquoise family’s Grand Elder will put the Supreme Purity Sword in a Universe Pouch. He will then hide it in the Heart Eater’s stomach. It’s a Category Four Black-tier demonic beast residing in the Human Core Area of the Heavenly Martial Realm. You need to find the beast and kill it, then you’ll be able to take the Supreme Purity Sword from its stomach. Whoever gets it first will be the winner.”

Long Chen nodded.

A Category Four Black-tier demonic beast was approximately the same as an initial Earthly Core Realm expert, but with elites from the eight halls fighting it together, it should be manageable.

Long Chen counted for a moment. He had killed Huang Feiyang, a person above his own cultivation level, and gotten only a potential value of three stars. Did that mean that there should be almost a hundred people as talented as he was in the Turquoise family?

His stress was unimaginable ...

“Long Chen, it’s best if you don’t go out for the next few days. Stay home and cultivate. Do your best to minimize all contact with other people during the training exercise too. You didn’t show up to the duel, so you’ll definitely be mocked if you go out now. Based on your personality, if you’re impulsive, you might ruin the rest of your life. If you trust me, please listen to me. Alright?

Long Chen liked Gan Lin as a person. He was down-to-earth, didn’t put on any airs, and answered all his questions clearly. Even now, he was concerned about Long Chen.

Long Chen was too lazy to head out now anyway, so he nodded. “Alright, I won’t go out.”

However, he still felt wronged when Gan Lin mentioned the duel again. He had never agreed to the duel in the first place, but now they were saying he was a coward. It must be that bitch’s doing! She’s so young but already so manipulative. I must be careful at the training exercise, because she has a powerful background!

Liu Lan and the number one person of the Turquoise Sun Hall, Sect Elder Liu Yuan, were not people he could fight.

After giving a few reminders, Gan Lin left. Long Chen had only just left when he saw Gan Lin leading another person over. It was the Dawn Trading Alliance’s Ao Xue. The Dawn Trading Alliance is looking for me? Do they have news about the Soul Nourishing Fruit?

Long Chen wanted as many fruits as he could get his hands on.
