Dragon God

Yang

Chapter 5 - Yang Lingqing

Three days later, Long Chen stood

before a two-meter-tall boulder.

To his left was a forest, and to his

right was a large river. Similar

boulders dotted the riverbank.

Long Chen took a deep breath. A

surge of Qi burst through his body,

and he charged towards the boulder

like a cannonball. He made a

powerful cry as his fist struck the

boulder like a meteor!

Boom!

The powerful blast pulverized the

boulder, sending shards of rock

flying back. More than half of the

pieces fell into the water, sending

splashes to the sky.

"A body like the stars, a fist like an

asteroid, as heavy as a mountain, as

quick as lightning ... The Meteor Fist

must be both quick and heavy to

unleash power at this scale. I'm only

at the Second Draconic Stage, so I

still can't unleash the true potential

of the Meteor Fist ... but ..." Long

Chen's gaze turned cold. "If | ever

meet Chen Liu again, I can kill him in

one strike!"

"I, Long Chen, mastered the Meteor

Fist in just three days. If word gets

out, I'm sure they'll all be shocked."

Long Chen walked to the riverbank

and washed his face. LOoking at his

reflection in the water, he mused,

"My body has gotten much fitter

after cultivating like a madman

these few days. I'm tanner too! But

I'm still as handsome as before, I'm

so going to get many girls with this

body."

He grinned as he thought about it.

A gust of wind blew suddenly

behind Long Chen, catching him off

guard. He quickly dropped face

down to the ground and bent one

knee backwards in a kick. To his

surprise, he felt something soft

when he kicked. There was a shout,

then what looked like a person flew

over his head, falling into the river.

Long Chen stood up and realized

that the person who'd snuck up on

him was a teenage girl. She didn't

look weak either; it was only due to

her carelessness that he kicked her

into the river.

Furious, she leapt from the river to

the bank, pouting as she glared at

Long Chen with her bright eyes. She

looked like she was about to

swallow Long Chen whole.

The girl looked like she was of

similar age. She was pretty, with

sparkling eyes and white teeth, her

skin as clear as jade. Clad in a long,

pale green dress, she was a beauty

through and through. Long Chen

froze for a second, for he had never

seen such a beautiful girl in his life.

The girl was drenched. All her

clothes stuck to her body, revealing

her fair skin and curves. Long Chen

could even see a small puppy

embroidered on her innermost

camisole. She noticed something

was wrong from his gaze, and

cursed furiously, "p*****t!"

Qi exploded from her body and a

blast of heat sent Long Chen a few

steps back. The drenched clothing

was dry in a second as the girl

seethed with hatred. She clenched

her teeth. "Were... were you looking

at something?"

Long Chen hurriedly denied, "No,

miss, I didn't see anything..."

The girl was about to forgive him

because he looked sincere, but

when she thought of the incident

again, she raged, "What the hell,

Yang Chen! I just wanted to scare

you. How dare you push your elder

sister into the river? You asshole!"

Elder sister?

But Long Chen didn't recognize her.

"Who are you?"

The girl was annoyed to hear such a

question and scolded, "You brat, you

don't even recognize nme? I'm Yang

Lingqing, your second uncle Yang

Yuntian's second daughter."

"Ah, it's you ..!"

Long Chen suddenly recalled who

she was. They were supposed to

have a karmic tie because they

were born on the exact same date.

Long Chen had been born at the

Chen hour, which was why his name

was Long Chen. [1]

Yang Lingqing usually hid at home

So Long Chen didn't see her much

and naturally had forgotten about

her. He thought of their birthtimes

and grinned. "Hey, you want me to

call you elder sister? Although we

were born on the same day, I was

born at the Chen hour, and you at

the You hour. 2] You should call me

'Elder Brother

lgnoring Yang Lingqing's rage, he

went straight into the forest to look

for a rock to sit on.

"You bastard, don't move!"

Yang Lingqing walked up to Long

Chen and said coldly, "Fine, let's

save this topic of being your elder

sister for another day. We were born

on the same day, let's just treat

each other as equals. When I was

passing by earlier, I saw you

wielding the Meteor Fist, and it

looked authentic, too. What's up

with that?"

Ah, so she saw that.

Long Chen thought for a moment,

but he didn't mind that she had

seen everything. Although Yang

Lingqing was a little arrogant, she

had never bullied him, nor had she

ever looked at him as if he were

beneath her like the others. He had

a good impression of her, so he was

willing to chat.

He grinned. "So what? Can't I

cultivate Meteor Fist? Are you

jealous? It's too bad that we're

blood-related. It's not appropriate

for me to touch you. If you were

another girl, I could probably teach

you."

Yang Lingqing's face reddened with

irritation, then she casually struck

an even larger boulder next to her,

pulverizing it. "Did you see that?I

know the Meteor Fist too, and I'm in

the Fifth Draconic Stage. I'm a lot

better than you!"

Long Chen was momentarily

speechless. She was the sanme age

as he was but stronger than his own

brother, Yang Zhan.

Long Chen snickered to himself

when he saw her fake intimidating

glare. He now knew her true

intentions. Since he couldn't expose

her outright, he said, "That's right,

you do know the Meteor Fist. But,

you haven't fully maximized its

potential yet. You haven't reached

the level of 'body like the stars, fist

like a meteor. If my Qi were like

yours, my Meteor Fist would be

twice as powerful. Alright, whatever.

I'm in a great mood today so I've

decided to be generous and share

my knowledge with you."

Yang Lingqing was shocked. The

brat's pretty capable. From a single

punch, he could tell I'm struggling

with cultivating my Meteor Fist.

"Alright, seeing as you're so sincere,

I have no choice but to accept. But

you're teaching me out of your own

will! Don't ask me for any payment

in return! I'm telling you now, I'm

actually so poor ..."

"You don't make any sense, woman.

As your elder brother, teaching you

is the most natural thing in the

world. Why would I need anything in

return2"

"What?"

Yang Lingqing was in a rage, for she

wasn't used to the condescending

tone. Laugh all you want now! After

you teach me, Im going to make

sure you're sorry!

She forced her anger down.

Of course, Long Chen couldn't hear

her thoughts. He was fine with

sharing since he didn't mind her

company, and he didn't have any

friends. He was in the mood to

teach anyway. He was confident in

his Meteor Fist and started to

demonstrate in detail.

The most important thing in the

Meteor Fist is your stance. If you

watch the shooting stars in the sky,

they fall without holding back.

Nothing can stop them ...

"There should be no hesitation in

the moment you punch. Put your

reservations about your own life and

death aside. All you should think

about is stopping the enemy, even

killing them. Strike without

hesitation. That is how you will

comprehend the true meaning of

the Meteor Fist ..."

After a long demonstration and

explanation, Yang Lingqing finally

understood, and her attitude

towards him eventually turned into

hero worship and admiration.

She couldn't imagine how a guy

who was at the Second Draconic

Stage could have such a deep

understanding of the Martial Dao.

When they separated, she said,

"Hey, thank you for today. Now that

I've fully comprehended the Meteor

Fist, I'l have a chance against Elder

Sister Lingyue during the Family

Meeting. I might even stand a

chance to win our family's top

secret scripture-the Dragon Seal."

Long Chen's eyes widened when he

heard "Dragon Seal." "Hey girl,

when's the Family Meeting?"

"About half a mnonth from today. But

don't get your hopes up. Lingyue

has attained the Sixth Draconic

Stage. Other than Yang Wu, no one

else from our generation can beat

her. And, Yang Wu has already

gotten the Dragon Seal so I'm afraid

it's destined for Lingyue this time

Alright, I've got to cultivate. I need

to work towards the sixth stage

myself"

The girl ran off. She looked cute

with her hair swaying behind her.

Long Chen gulped as he watched

her leave. "The girl has both great

looks and a kind heart. It's too bad

the heavens were blind and made

her my cousin. I can't touch her at

all! Sigh."

Sitting on the rock, he looked at the

direction of Yang Residence.

"The Sixth Draconic Stage ... The

meeting's going to be in half a

month's time, though it's probably

none of my business. But Father's

words were very insistent, so | have

to get the Dragon Seal. If she's

working that hard, I can't relax

either. Fine, sixth stage it is then! I'lIl

even risk my life to achieve it!

Perhaps there is a slight chance I

can attain it!"

"Cultivate! Work hard! Persevere!"

Sweat poured.

Long Chen only returned when it

was dark outside and the lanterns

at the Yang Residence's had already

been lit.

When he was about to step in, a

group of people walked out,

chatting happily. He looked up, for

he was directly in their way. The

group saw him immediately.

The beautiful lady leading them was

Yang Xueqing, Long Chen's mother.

Behind her was a pretty young lady,

Yang Lingyue, the cultivator who

had attained the Sixth Draconic

Stage according to Yang Lingqing.

She was eighteen this year, and she

was also the daughter of the Yang

family head, Yang Qingxuan.

Qingxuan was Yang Xueqing's eldest

brother.

Yang Qingxuan was the eldest son

of the patriarch and currently in

charge of all daily affairs in the Yang

family. The second son, Yang

Yuntian, was in charge of the family

businesses. Finally, the third child,

Yang Xueqing, was in charge of

training the Yang children in

cultivation.

The eldest children of the

patriarch's eldest son, Yang

Qingxuan, were a boy and a girl,

Yang Wu and Yang Lingyue. Yang Wu

was the eldest among the Yang

family's younger generation, while

Yang Lingyue was the girl standing

before Long Chen.

The eldest children of the

patriarch's second son, Yang

Yuntian, were also a boy and a girl.

One was Yang Zhan, Long Chen's

archnemesis, and the other was

Yang Lingqing, the girl Long Chen

had encountered earlier.

Yang Xueqing was the only master

cultivator among the women in the

older generation. As the person

responsible for training Lingyue, she

treated Lingyue as her own

daughter.

Walking next to the two females

were two males.

At the front of the group, a

handsome, middle-aged man with a

beard chatted happily avway with

Yang Xueqing. He was clad in snow-

white robes and had an aristocratic

appearance. Behind him was a

young man with a gaze as sharp as

lightning. He was muscular and

radiated power, and he somewhat

resembled the man in front.

They had to both be father and son.

When Yang Xueqing saw Long Chen

standing before her, she froze for a

second, then smiled at the middle-

aged mnan. "Brother Bai, I wanted to

bring you to our beautiful lotus

pond but it's late

"It's alright, Sister Qing. We're both

in Baiyang Town, so we're sure to

meet again. If I have time, I'll

definitely come again. The Yang

Residence's lotus pond is famed for

its beauty after all ."

Both of them chatted happily as

they walked past Long Chen,

accompanied by a few guards.

Only Yang Lingyue turned to look

coldly at Long Chen before speaking

to the young man next to her. She

giggled occasionally.

"That's great. They completely

ignored me as if I were just air"

Long Chen clenched his fist tightly.

"My father just died and you're

flirting around already? Forget about

my father's reputation. I'll never let

you marry someone like Bai

Zhanxiong, knowing what I know

about him! Even though you treat

me so unkindly, I am not without a

heart. My flesh came from you after

all"

"Bai Zhanxiong looks like a

gentleman, but he's bad to the

bone. He's the reason for the

deaths of a few girls at Jade Palace

Brothel last time..."

Long Chen recalled an incident

when he saw the middle-aged man

chatting happily with Yang Xueqing.

He was once great friends with a

few girls from the Jade Palace

Brothel who were only performers

and did not sleep with their clients.

However, Bai Zhanxiong had secretly

trafficked them. If Long Chen hadn't

seen it by accident, there would be

no witnesses.

From that day, he was certain that

Bai Zhongxiong was a monster.

"Since Bai Zhanxiong was with you,

you decided to completely ignore

my existence. But I refuse to accept

this. The more you want me to

disappear, the more I will dance

before your very eyes. I know you

think my father and I are equally

useless, but I will only become

stronger!

"There will come a day when l stand

before you, and you won't even dare

meet my eyes. You might even

repent on your knees! You're my

mother, yet you've never done

anything a mother should have! |

hate you! But I still cannot ignore

you like you ignore me!"

When the group walked past him,

Long Chen lowered his head. He

clenched his fists, digging his nails

into flesh. Blood flowed.

A tsunami surged through his body.

There was a beast in his heart, and

it roared at the skies.

Long Chen returned to his quarters,

washed up, and prepared to

cultivate.

He suddenly noticed a paper note

pressed under his tea tray on the table
