Meteor fist

Chapter 4 - Meteor Fist

Chen Liu took a few steps back and

laughed at Long Chen. "We are only

sparring. We won't go too far so you

don't have to worry about losing

too badly."

Long Chen glared at Chen Liu. He

could sense Chen Liu's contempt

towards him. If not for what

happened yesterday, Long Chen's

position in the Yang family might be

even lower than that of an outsider

like Chen Liu.

But novw, both his way of thinking

and his fighting strength had

undergone a dramatic change. He

had both the strength and his will

to fight was bursting forth from his

heart.

"Chen Liu, I know what kind of man

you are. No need to try and put on

a show. If you want to fight, come.

If not, don't hate me if l accidentally

kill you!"

Chen Liu was startled by Long

Chen's clear threat. He was just

about to say something when Long

Chen's body shifted. He gathered

his Qi and launched a punch at

Chen Liu!

"So you really have stepped into the

Draconic Realmn! But you are still no

match for me. Since you are so

misguided, don't blame me if I hurt

you a lot!"

Chen Liu had been stuck at the

Second Draconic Stage for two

years, but his Qi was still strong.

With a shout, he swung his fist too.

Boom!

Their fists collided and their Qi

exploded, forcing them to take a

step back.

Chen Liu was surprised to discover

that Long Chen was his equal in

strength. "Damn brat, to think that

you've been hiding your cultivation!

You are at the Second Draconic

Stage!"

Long Chen was also pushed back.

Chen Liu has the same amount of Qi

as I do but he has more experience.

I will lose if I get pulled into a battle

of attrition. This is my first fight as a

cultivator. If I ose now, it will affect

my cultivation in the future. I must

not lose!

Long Chen's eyes turned red as he

scanned the surroundings and found

a stone the size of his fist not too

far away.

He looked away and stared at Chen

Liu. "Chen Liu, you may be strong,

but I am stronger. Try to take my

fist again!"

He swung his fist once more. Chen

Liu fell for it and attacked.

Boom!

This time, Long Chen launched into

the air and fell to the ground with a

heavy thud.

"The son of a piece of trash is also a

piece of trash. You dare flaunt your

feeble strength to me? You deserve

a beating!"

When he saw Long Chen fly into the

air, Chen Liu knew that he was

stronger, and he laughed.

But Long Chen stood back up and

rushed toward Chen Liu. What Chen

Liu had failed to realize was that

Long Chen had kept his left hand

behind his back.

"Still haven't given up?"

Chen Liu laughed and confronted

Long Chen, who appeared to be

panicking. Chen Liu was just about

to defeat Long Chen once and for

all when Long Chen threw

something from his left hand. The

black object flew towards Chen Liu's

face with great speed.

"What the ...?"

Chen Liu raised his arms to protect

his face. From the pain he felt when

the object hit his arms hard, he

realized it was a piece of rock.

Chen Liu's Qi blocked the rock that

Long Chen had thrown with all his

might and didn't suffer a serious

injury.

Just then, Long Chen closed in on

Chen Liu and kicked his crotch.

There was a loud, frightening

scream. Chen Liu spat out a

mouthful of blood and crashed into

a willow tree before sliding down to

the ground. He had completely lost

his strength to fight and stared at

Long Chen in fear.

"You ...Yang Chen. How dare you

hurt me? My cousin will kill you!"

Long Chen stood tall and spat on

him.

"A Second Draconic Stage cultivator?

You still lost right away to my

superior skill!"

Long Chen hadn't been a cultivator

before, but he had experienced his

fair share of fights. He'd just used

one of his ultimate techniques.

In fights, he would throw something

heavy at his opponent's face. The

face had sensory organs like the

eyes and nose, which made it one

of the most important and fragile

parts of the human body. Chen Liu

hadn't seen the object that Long

Chen had thrown, so he instinctively

blocked it with his arms. As long as

Chen Liu couldn't block him with his

arms, Long Chen's real attack would

land.

Recalling how Chen Liu had spat on

him yesterday and how he was still

trying to threaten Long Chen even

though he had lost, Long Chen

stepped forward and pulled Chen

Liu's collar. "You once called me a

dog and spat on me. All of yOur sins

originate from your mouth. I will not

bother you too much today, but I

will have to seal your mouth."

Chen Liu was shocked and pleaded

for mercy to Long Chen. However,

before he could say anything, Long

Chen punched his mouth and broke

most of his teeth. Chen Liu rolled

around on the ground in pain,

regretting everything he had said.

After defeating Chen Liu, Long Chen

felt his back bristle. He turned

around and saw Yang Zhan and Yang

Zhan's father, the Yang family's

second head and Long Chen's

second uncle, Yang Yuntian. They

were only five meters away.

They had been passing by and seen

a good fight happening in front of

the Martial Scroll Palace. Chen Liu

was Yang Zhan's follower, and when

Yang Zhan saw his injuries, he was

furious and walked over to Long

Chen in anger.

"Yang Chen ... Do you have a death

wish?"

Without any warning, Yang Zhan

raised his palm and was about to

slap Long Chen.

The palm was filled with Qi. Long

Chen realized that he couldn't

dodge it, and if it reached him, his

teeth would fall off too! From the

strength behind the slap, Long Chen

knew how angry Yang Zhan was.

Unfortunately, he was weaker than

Yang Zhan. He could not do

anything.

Long Chen clenched his teeth and

the anger in his heart almost

drowned him. He hated when

people felt nothing but contempt

towards him and treated him like a

stray dog.

He swore he would seek revenge.

How could he slap me without any

reason? If I were stronger, would he

dare do this even with his father's

protection? If I were stronger, I

would be the one slapping him

instead!

The incoming slap triggered

something inside him as his hate

and conviction slowly grew from the

bottom of his heart.

But the slap didn't come. Someone

caught Yang Zhan's arm with a loud

snapping sound when his palm was

just an inch away from Long Chen's

face. Still, the wind from the slap

blew over Long Chen's face, causing

a slight, prickly pain.

None other than Yang Yuntian had

caught Yang Zhan's arm. Yang

Yuntian said seriously. "Zhan'er, have

you forgotten what I've taught you?

We are all brothers in this family.

How could you raise your hand

against him so easily? You need to

be punished when we return."

He then turned to Long Chen. "So,

you've attained the Second Draconic

Stage? You must be looking for a

martial technique. Go, but my father

is meditating inside. If you disturb

him, there will be heavy

Consequences."

He didn't spare another look at Long

Chen and walked away still holding

onto Yang Chen's arm.

After taking a few steps, Yang Zhan

asked impatiently. "Father, he hurt

Chen Liu. Why won't you let me

punish him? I can easily fight tens of

thousands of him."

Yang Yuntian said plainly, "You are

always bullying the weak. What's

there to brag about? Why not spar

with Lingyue or Yang Wu? Also, Yang

Chen is still your aunt's son. How

can you treat him like a servant?"

Yang Zhan muttered, "You're talking

about my aunt again. Isn't she only

at the Eighth Draconic Stage?

Father, given enough time, you

would be as strong as she is, right?"

As he watched them leave, Long

Chen suppressed the anger in his

heart. He carved into his memory

the past humiliation he'd received

from them and today's slap.

You'd better make sure I don't get

the chance to make you suffer SO

immensely that you would prefer to

die.

After so many years of fending for

himself in the streets, he already

learned how to control his

emotions.

Staring at the Martial Scroll Palace,

Long Chen shook off his negative

thoughts and pushed the stone

gate open before walking in.

Chen Liu remained on the ground,

and it took some time before Yang

Yuntian sent someone to treat him.

Long Chen approached the front of

the tower. He raised his head and

stared at the metal tower and

thought to himself, My first martial

technique is here!

He shifted his gaze to the side and

saw a wOoden hut. His grandfather,

the elder of the Yang family, was

silently meditating inside. No one

dared to disturb him. With his

grandfather guarding the Martial

Scroll Palace, there was no chance

of anything bad happening. Since

Long Chen had attained the

qualifications to read the Martial

Techniques, he was granted entry.

Why does this old geezer behave so

mysteriously? My father reached the

Eighth Draconic Stage at such a

young age. He was only slightly

weaker than you. If it weren't for

the Dragon Jade Pendant, he

might've actually become someone

you would have to look up to.

He silently chided his grandfather as

he walked into the Martial Scroll

Palace. Crossing a long corridor,

Long Chen arrived at the inner layer

of the metal tower. There were a

few bookcases with the martial

techniques of the Yang family neatly

arranged on the shelves.

"l am only at the Second Draconic

Stage. Looks like I can only learn an

elementary level martial technique

of the Yellow-tier."

The Yang family had thirty-two

beginner-level martial techniques at

the Yellow tier. Long Chen browsed

the books in the respective section

starting from the first row. He

picked up a book titled Tiger Fist.

Fifteen minutes hadn't even passed

when Long Chen placed the book

down.

"What's happening? Why is it so

simple?"

As he read the books, Long Chen

not only sensed his vision being

clearer, his memorization and

comprehension skills were unusually

strong too. He could comprehend

the technique described in the book

just by reading it once.

If not for the ban on practicing in

the Martial Scroll Palace, he felt

that he could use the technique

right there and then.

"It's either I'm a genius, or..."

He had tried reading these books

when he was younger but he'd

always felt they were too

complicated. He was certain that

the ease he felt nowN was due to the

Dragon Jade Pendant.

The Dragon Jade Pendant residing in

my sea of consciousness has

transformed my soul. Maybe that's

why I can memorize things so

quickly and accurately, and I can

also sense my surroundings much

better now.

Father, what is the Dragon Jade

Pendant? To think that it would

confer such talent. Not only did it

pass on the Qi it absorbed from

you, it also turned me into a martial

geniuS ...

He read more books at the

elementary Yellow-tier and found

none of them challenging at all.

Soon, he found the intermediate

level Yellow tier section and saw

only five books. He was immediately

attracted to a book titled Meteor

Fist.

"... Turn your body into the stars,

punch like a meteor, heavy as a

mountain, fast as lightning ..."

The Meteor Fist's strength is either

the strongest or second-strongest

intermediate Yellow-tier martial

technique. The Yang family's Meteor

Fist technique is also famous in the

outside world. But, it doesn't seem

too hard. Since I've already

remembered most of the

elementary level ones, l might as

well copy this book ...

None of the books could be taken

out of the Martial Scroll Palace, so

he could only choose one and copy

its content.

One hour later, Long Chen finished

copying the book and placed the

original back on its shelf.

I've already understood the theory

part. I just need to practice it. Still,

this is an intermediate Yellow-tier

martial technique and I'm not

confident thatI can learn it.

The Yellow-tier martial techniques

were divided into elementary,

intermediate, and advanced. Those

in the first three stages of the

Draconic Realm usually learned

elementary techniques. By choosing

the Meteor Fist technique, Long

Chen was skipping one level.

With the Dragon Jade Pendant's

help, I should be able to do this.

After making up his mind, Long

Chen walked out of the Martial

Scroll Palace. Just as he arrived at

the stone gate, an ancient-sounding

voice rang in his ears.

"The secret techniques of the Yang

family must not be leaked. Destroy

the copy after you finish practicing

it. Those that leak its content will

be killed!"

Long Chen turned around but didn't

see anyone behind him. He nodded

and said, "Yes, Grandfather. Please

allow me to exXCUse myself."

He had broken the rules by

choosing an intermediate Yellow-

tier martial technique. Afraid of his

grandfather finding out, Long Chen

ran off the moment he said

goodbye.

Back in the wooden hut, the old

man opened his eyes and sighed. "I

thought the child would be a

genius, but to think he would be

prideful enough to choose an

intermediate Yellow-tier technique

... What a waste. Back in the old

days, Long Qinglan had the chance

to attain the Divine Dan Realm

genius, but to think he would be

prideful enough to choose an

intermediate Yellow-tier technique

What a waste. Back in the old

days, Long Qinglan had the chance

to attain the Divine Dan Realm
