Chapter 479 - Second Passage Stage

Chapter 479 - Second Passage Stage

Everyone had arrived and no one was late.

“Everyone, come at least fifteen minutes earlier next time. It’s rude to make me or Lord Demon General wait here for you. In fact, this is an act of insubordination!” said Huangfu Qi’s Sixth Senior Brother. His expression was cold and stern, and when he spoke, he did not hide his power.

“Yes!” everyone replied a little timidly. After their arrival in the Ancient Demon Domain, the Demon Kings and the Demon Generals had completely suppressed their tempers. If someone wanted to be successful here, the only way up was to become stronger.

Long Chen merely opened his mouth symbolically.

“My name is Qin Huanyu. You may call me ‘Senior Qin.’ During regular training sessions, I will be assisting Demon General Strongman, and I will be in charge of all nine of you newcomers. From today onwards, you must listen to me! Do everything I say! And if you do something I said you couldn’t do, you will be punished. As for the punishments doled out in the Ancient Demon Domain ... Go learn about them! I believe you will find them interesting ...” Qin Huanyu chuckled lightly.

“Senior Brother Six sounds a little annoying. He wasn’t like this just now,” Huangfu Qi whispered into Long Chen’s ear.

Of course he would be friendly towards Huangfu Qi. However, as the person in charge of the new disciples, he had to maintain his dignified demeanor and show that he meant business.

Long Chen and the rest did not speak.

“Do you all understand?” Qin Huanyu asked loudly.

“Understood.” Everyone nodded.

“What? Louder! I can’t hear you!”

“Understood!”

Their voices echoed in all four directions.

Long Chen was speechless. The guy was insufferable, and it looked like the coming days would be difficult. Thankfully, Long Chen already had a direction in mind. If he had to stay here and take Sixth Senior Brother’s hits every day, he would probably be tempted to beat him up one day.

Qin Huanyu’s gaze fell on Long Chen, and he said, “I heard that one of you ten was the three-time champion. I’m guessing that’s you?”

Long Chen nodded.

“Sigh ...” Qin Huanyu shook his head and said, “The standards of the qualifiers have declined over every generation. When I was the three-time champion years ago, the obstacles I faced far exceeded your imagination. But I still survived in the end.”

At this point, the other people had also sensed that the energy source had been cut off and only thought that it had ended. They had only just begun and were feeling like it was not enough. That short moment had granted them far more growth than cultivating under normal conditions.

When they opened their eyes, they saw Qin Huanyu hurrying quickly towards Long Chen in anger. Based on his stance, it looked like he wanted to kill Long Chen.

What was going on?

They were puzzled.

However, Huangfu Qi would not let Qin Huanyu do such a thing. She hurriedly stood in front of Long Chen and said, “Sixth Senior Brother, what are you trying to do?”

“Little Junior Sister, move. This brat swallowed all of the energy that should have been divided between the rest of you! I don’t know what diabolical method he has mastered, but I must kill him now!” Qin Huanyu said menacingly.

“No! No one can touch my Big Brother! Not even Sixth Senior Brother! If you don’t listen, I’ll tell Master that you bullied me! Sob sob ...” Not even Qin Huanyu could do anything when Huangfu Qi decided to kick up a fuss. He knew that Huangfu Qi was currently an important person to the Clear Shallows King, and her status even surpassed his. If he offended her, he would have to face consequences.

Of course, Long Chen only dared to swallow so much energy because he was banking on Huangfu Qi doing this. If she weren't here, Qin Huanyu would have killed Long Chen by now.

“Little Junior Sister, you don’t understand! Long Chen has broken the rules! The Demon Light should have been divided among the ten of you, but he swallowed it all by himself! Don’t you think he deserves to be killed?” Qin Huanyu said coldly.

Everyone looked at each other. If that was true, then Long Chen had taken something that belonged to them. It seemed only right that Qin Huanyu was standing up for them.

“I don’t believe you! Also, there’s a lot of energy in that crystal ball! Can’t you just take it out again and let us absorb more? Also, my Big Brother is making a breakthrough right now! No one can touch him!” Huangfu Qi was very stubborn and was determined to protect Long Chen, so even Qin Huanyu had no choice but to concede.

In truth, Long Chen was indeed on the edge of a breakthrough.

The first breakthrough had taken him three hundred Heavenly Passage Pills to clear the dan meridian point in his dantian. After the Demon Light Bath, Long Chen possessed enough Qi to attempt to clear his second meridian point, which was known as the central meridian point, located in his chest, right next to his heart. After the central meridian point was cleared, it would become the new core of his body!

Then Long Chen would possess even greater power!

Right now, Long Chen was aggregating all the power in his body to move toward the central meridian point from all directions. The central meridian point was unlike the dan meridian point. The dan meridian point contained a large space, while the central meridian point didn’t.

What he had to do now was force a space open within the central meridian point, so it required much more effort, and it was more difficult too!

Before this happened, he had to mix energy from Heavenly Passage Pills into his Qi, because the energy from the pills could protect the meridian point from the violent Qi. That way, it would be expanded gently.

This continued until Long Chen reached the Second Passage Stage.
