Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5538: Move Out, Heaven Vein Mystic Realm

the entire wind god sea pavilion quaked violently as one pillar of light after another pierced through the heavens from the countless islands around the pavilion. these pillars of light converged in the sky, forming the faint image of a colossal dragon. it then streaked through the air, flying toward the distance.

as this phenomenon unfolded, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth rapidly thinned. vegetation withered, their vitality seemingly drained by an invisible force. the life essence of the entire wind god sea pavilion appeared to be siphoned away.

“the heaven vein mystic realm has opened!” someone shouted.

the crowd tensed, their hearts pounding hard.

“i didn’t think it’d be this soon. senior, how are things in sovereign dragon valley? will they make it in time?” asked long chen.

“just now, gu yang opened the final gate. the ten thousand dragon nest is fully activated. don’t worry, i’ll guide them to you,” the dragon sovereign assured him.

hearing that they had opened the final gate, long chen was surprised. wasn’t that too fast? however, if the dragon sovereign had said so, there was no need for him to ask any further. he immediately gathered all the experts of the wind god sea pavilion.

through their trials in the seven treasure space, these individuals’ arrogance had been significantly tempered. the most self-confident ones had encountered the nether emperor and were obliterated with a single glance. they viewed long chen as a god now.

long chen divided these thirty million experts into six legions, each led by one of the top experts. these legions were further subdivided into smaller squads to foster some semblance of teamwork.

for them to achieve cohesion and discipline of the hidden dragon legion within such a short time was impossible. while they might outwardly resemble a formidable army, their true strength as a collective force could only emerge through accumulated experience.

based on long chen’s estimation, the experience would inevitably come at a cost: the lives of some of the weaker or less intelligent individuals. he did not shy away from this harsh reality. in fact, he was brutally honest with them, saying that their survival on the battlefield would depend entirely on their comrades.

when trouble came, they had to do everything in their power to save their comrades. because when they were the ones in danger, their comrades would be their lifeline.

long chen knew that it would be very difficult for these fellows to help others, given their history. however, he had to say it nonetheless. whether or not they understood his words was up to them.

after undergoing his training, they had undergone a near-complete transformation. their newfound confidence stemmed from their power rather than their status.

hearing that, long chen was surprised. did this mean they would encounter beings on the same level as feng xinyue before even entering the heaven vein mystic realm?

“yay!”

tang wan-er was happy to hear that her master would be accompanying them. she held her master’s hand, disregarding the serious atmosphere. feng xinyue initially considered chiding her for her casual behavior, but her expression softened when she saw her disciple’s happiness.

long chen broke the moment with a loud proclamation, “brothers and sisters of the wind god pavilion, do you see? we have the full support of a peerless expert. you know what that means, right?”

the experts exchanged puzzled glances.

“big brother long chen, what are we supposed to do?” one of them asked.

this individual was a straightforward and powerful genius from the head pavilion. long chen was actually quite fond of him and had even given him a few pointers. he could be said to be the closest to long chen amongst the head pavilion’s experts, so he was the one to ask.

long chen rolled his eyes. “you really are dumb. what happened to that arrogance when you first came to this branch pavilion? at that time, you didn’t have power or the support of anyone with actual power, yet you were still so fearless. now you have someone supporting you, so you have to act even more arrogant and domineering than you did back then. this time, if you see anyone you don’t like on the way, you had better curse them! if anyone dares to argue, beat them! if anyone dares to intentionally provoke us, then beat them up until you can’t even recognize them. if you fail to even do this, then don’t ever tell people that you know me.”

the crowd erupted in laughter. long chen’s words ignited their spirits, and his acknowledgment of them as brothers and sisters set their blood ablaze.

to call a peerless expert like long chen “brother”, just how glorious was that?

with just a few words, long chen galvanized their spirits and forged an unprecedented sense of unity. feng xinyue sighed inside; this fellow was a natural leader.

“move out!” feng xinyue shouted.

in response, the wind god sea pavilion’s heavenly geniuses cheered, and their squads charged forward. no one knew what kind of storm of bloodshed would follow as they marched under long chen’s lead.
