Chapter 4996: Umpire
“bloodline power? you want me to turn the god slaying cross into a bloodline divine ability? is that even possible? isn’t the god slaying cross a top-tier divine ability of the nine star line?” asked long chen. he was shocked by this crazy idea.
“it’s a middle-tier divine ability. middle, not top[1],” corrected the earth cauldron.
long chen had thought that it was a top-tier divine ability, which was why the earth cauldron didn’t let him train in it just yet. however, it seemed that he had misheard.
“don’t misunderstand. the nine star line’s magical arts and divine abilities are not something you can imagine. in fact, not many experts of the nine star line could comprehend this technique,” consoled the earth cauldron.
“fine, then i’ll try it. do you have any instructions?” asked long chen.
“the god slaying cross contains the essence of heaven and earth. since all laws and daos are connected, using your bloodline power to execute this move will require precise control, but this shouldn’t be too difficult for you.
“the challenging part is the first step: condensing the cross star rune. however, we will be calling it the cross blood rune.
“before condensing the cross blood rune, you must use your essence blood to manifest the complete starry sea manifestation. this manifestation will allow you to control your essence blood and condense the cross blood rune. after that, you can follow the regular method of the nine star line.
“since you possess three kinds of essence blood, it’s best to start with your violet blood. it’s the gentlest and least likely to cause you injury,” advised the earth cauldron.
long chen nodded. with his great comprehension, he instantly grasped the crux of this problem.
as long as he grasped it, the rest was simple. after all, long chen had mastered many divine abilities. however, just as long chen was preparing to start training, the heaven overseer came, his expression grave.
“long chen, maybe you should leave. go back to the academy and ask for reinforcements,” said the heaven overseer.
“what is it?” long chen asked, sensing the urgency in the heaven overseer’s voice.
“no way. the long clan’s disciples are all participating. they want the status and the reward. i’ve heard that everyone who gets into the top thirty-two will get a heaven saint divine weapon specially crafted for them. is this why i can’t participate?” asked long chen irritably.
although he had no intention of participating in such a senseless competition, the fact that the other side excluded him was annoying. they were being petty, judging him by their low standards.
knowing long chen would react this way, the heaven overseer added, “i know you wouldn’t want to participate in this kind of competition, nor would you want to be an umpire. that’s why i’ve already discussed a reward with the clan leader.”
“what reward?” long chen asked suspiciously.
“you are still lacking thirteen medicinal ingredients from the mercenaries quest, correct?”
long chen was startled. those thirteen medicinal ingredients were exceptionally rare. the mercenaries had practically scoured the heavenly desolation domain without finding them.
long ziwei had mentioned that the long clan’s treasury held two of those ingredients, but they were locked down. no one was able to exchange for them.
long chen was pondering how to deal with this problem when the heaven overseer mentioned it. seeing the heaven overseer’s confident smile, long chen was overjoyed.
the heaven overseer said, “i’ve discussed it with them. our treasury only has two of them, but if you include the other divine clans’ treasuries, we can give you all of them. as long as you agree, seven days from now, the medicinal ingredients from the three clans will arrive and be yours. so, do you want to consider it?”
“there’s no need to consider it. i agree,” long chen laughed. thinking of how he was about to gather all the ingredients for the nirvanic charge pill, long chen could barely suppress his excitement.
“if there was nothing in it for you, i wouldn’t have even mentioned it. i wouldn’t even come here if they hadn’t already agreed to this condition!” said the heaven overseer. “well then, you should prepare yourself. the battles start tomorrow, and in half a month, the top thirty-two will be decided. then it will be your turn to appear. as for the opening ceremonies and such, to make up for what the idiot long zaiye did, you can invite the mercenaries to watch the battles.”
umpire? that sounds rather fun. doesn’t that mean i can just rule against those i dislike? a sinister smile appeared on long chen’s face.
1. the words for middle (中) tier and top (终) tier sound the same, thus the misunderstanding. ☜
