Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5202 Creating a Dragonblood Heavenly Chosen Legion

“Long Chen, there are people around!” exclaimed Yu Qingxuan.

Indeed, the palace master, Bai Letian, Lu Chengkong, the academy's elders, and the disciples of the junior generation were all watching. Yu Qingxuan instantly turned a deep shade of red when Long Chen suddenly hugged her. She wanted to push him away but then noticed his eyes were red, and her heart quivered.

“Long Chen, what happened?” Yu Qingxuan asked softly.

“I turned myself into a bridge and endured five hundred years of battering wind, five hundred years of rain, and five hundred years of scorching sun, all so that when you crossed over, I could tell you, ‘I love you!’” Long Chen hugged her tightly, the thought of Yu Qingxuan’s thousand painful reincarnations swirling in his mind. How could he possibly repay her?

Yu Qingxuan held him back tightly, no longer thinking about the countless people watching. At this moment, all that remained in this world were her and Long Chen.

“Boss really is the boss. If I had a fraction of his abilities, I wouldn’t be a single dog,” Guo Ran sighed.

“What’s wrong with being single? It’s better than meeting someone who hurts you. A single dog has a single dog’s joy!” remarked Xia Chen. Having been betrayed by his love, Xia Chen still had a wound in his heart that had never healed.

“It’s nice to be young!” the palace master commented before leaving.

Bai Letian and the others felt that this scene wasn’t suitable for old folks like them, so they all began to leave as well.

Bai Shishi stared at the two of them, feeling a trace of bitterness. Oblivious to his big sister’s emotions, Bai Xiaole said, “Big sis, as I recall, Boss has never hugged you like that. In my opinion, a woman should be kind and gentle just like big sister Qingxuan. Only such a person can make someone—aiyaaa!!!”

Before Bai Xiaole could finish, Bai Shishi grabbed his cheek and pulled, making him scream. He hastily used a magical art to escape her devil’s claw. The little fox on his shoulder raised its paw, about to form hand seals to help Bai Xiaole escape.

However, Bai Shishi suddenly shouted, “Little Nine, have you thought this through?!”

The little fox instantly had a stroke of enlightenment and jumped off Bai Xiaole’s shoulder. Clearly, it had decided to stay out of things.

“Little Nine! How could you?” Bai Xiaole shouted angrily. Without Little Nine’s help, he hastily fled.

“You reap what you sow. Even I understand this principle. You really are a fool,” said the little fox.

Everyone laughed as they watched Bai Xiaole flee. Only then did Bai Shishi return, huffing.

By then, Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan had also returned. Long Chen’s eyes were still red, and the Dragonblood Legion could sense that something was off with their boss.

“Boss, are you alright?” someone asked.

“I’m fine. Let’s go find a place to talk,” replied Long Chen.

“Shishi, come with me. I want to talk to you,” Yu Qingxuan said, grabbing Bai Shishi’s hand. The two of them then walked off together.

Long Chen led the Dragonblood Legion to a secluded place in the outer region of the academy. Xia Chen set up a formation to block any prying eyes.

“How many brothers have yet to become Heavenly Chosens?” asked Long Chen.

Guo Ran looked a bit embarrassed as he replied, “We don’t know why, but after the divine pool’s baptism, the proportion of Dragonblood warriors who managed to become Heavenly Chosens is much lower than that of the branch academy’s disciples. Over five thousand brothers did not manage to become Heavenly Chosens. Strangely enough, many of our captains and squad leaders are amongst them!”

Long Chen nodded. “It’s not strange. Everyone cultivates the Dragon Soul Body Forging Art. After you all merged with the dragon souls, your innate talent was also affected by them. Many of the dragon souls had slumbered for too long. While the divine pool replenished the energy that they lost over time, there wasn’t enough energy to let them fully recover. Hence, it was a challenge for you guys to awaken your Heavenly Fate Disks.”

Everyone suddenly understood. It wasn’t that they lacked talent or hadn’t worked hard enough—the issue lay with the dragon souls within them.

“Xia Chen, check again. Is this place fully screened off, even from the eyes of the heavens?” asked Long Chen.

Hearing how serious Long Chen sounded, Xia Chen set up another nine barriers before confidently saying, “Boss, this place is fully screened off.”

Long Chen nodded and sank his mind into the primal chaos space, where flowers had transformed into many new fruits.

These fruits were different from the previous ones. They bore Heavenly Fate Disks, emanating powerful Doyen fluctuations.

These were new Heavenly Dao Fruits at the level of Heavenly Chosens. They were not born directly but were formed after Long Chen had killed countless Heavenly Chosens. The Heavenly Dao Tree absorbed the energy of heaven and earth to transform the flowers into fruits.

When these Heavenly Dao Fruits matured, they automatically fell from the Heavenly Dao Tree, giving birth to new flowers, and the cycle continued.

Long Chen didn’t even know how many Heavenly Chosens he had killed in the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain, but there was now a small mountain of Heavenly Dao Fruits beneath the tree, numbering in the tens of thousands.

From this, it seemed that he had to kill at least a hundred Heavenly Chosens to condense a single Heavenly Chosen Heavenly Dao Fruit.

Each fruit contained incomparably pure Heavenly Dao energy. When Long Chen took them out, everyone was stunned—but they were already used to Long Chen’s surprises. Those who hadn’t awakened a Heavenly Fate Disk quickly picked a fruit to consume.

As soon as they did, a Heavenly Fate Disk appeared behind them, the effect many times greater than that of the divine pool. The Dragonblood warriors cried out in excitement.

Some people had to consume two to awaken their Heavenly Fate Disk, while others required five or six.

One person, in particular, needed over ten fruits to summon a Heavenly Fate Disk, but the resulting disk gave off terrifying fluctuations that shocked everyone.

“It seems that it won’t be long before we need to shuffle the positions in the Dragonblood Legion,” Long Chen said, staring excitedly at the newly empowered warriors.
