From the Late Mortal Core realm to the Earth Core realm, Long Chen's Dragon Soul Qi had become more than ten times stronger than before.
Previously, his Dragon Soul Qi could already suppress 30 Thunder Flame Crystals, and now, the amount would definitely increase. Long Chen didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to reach the second level of the Thunder Flame Combat Body after fusing with all 28 Thunder Flame Crystals!
In fact, he could vaguely feel that he was about to break through.
"Fusing with the Thunder Flame Crystals requires a lot of pain. If I didn't have the Dragon Body and the Energy Restoring skill, I wouldn't have been able to forcefully endure the extreme pain."
Long Chen knew that he was lucky right now. He had the Blood Refining Skill, and he also had many heaven-defying abilities, but he still felt that the path of cultivation was tough and difficult, let alone others.
"These Thunder Flame Crystals, if nothing goes wrong, will allow you to reach the second level of the Thunder Flame Combat Body. But Long Chen, you can't force yourself and take the risk."
Lingxi was still a little worried in her heart.
During this period of time, she had actually grown a lot.
"Number 31 …"
Circulating his True Qi, he was naturally able to fuse the Thunder Flame Crystal into his body. The blue flame and lightning energy entered Long Chen's body and triggered the energy of the other Thunder Flame Crystals, crazily destroying Long Chen's body. After the destruction, he was reborn.
Under the miraculous effect of the Energy Restoring skill, Long Chen's rebirth was much faster than others.
He realized that the Earth Core True Qi was much easier to fuse with the Thunder Flame Crystals. He didn't need to spend much effort on this Thunder Flame Crystal, and he was able to completely fuse with it.
Feeling that there was an obvious improvement in his body, Long Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief.
"Next one."
After fusing with more than 30 Thunder Flame Crystals, Long Chen's body had developed a certain level of resistance towards the Thunder Flame Crystals. In other words, the damage that the Thunder Flame Crystals could do to him was no longer as strong as before, but the body strengthening effect was still there.
"Fusing with the Thunder Flame Crystals is much easier than before …"
Long Chen was also a little surprised.
As time slowly passed, Thunder Flame Crystal after Thunder Flame Crystal was absorbed into Long Chen's body. The number of Thunder Flame Crystals on the ground in front of him gradually decreased. In the end, the time taken for Long Chen to absorb the Thunder Flame Crystals grew longer and longer. However, the longest time he could take was still not as long as before.
"The 49th Thunder Flame Crystal. It took me a day to assimilate it. Although a day isn't long, the scene just now was truly terrifying!"
Thinking of the previous fusion, Long Chen trembled with fear.
There were still nine Thunder Flame Crystals left.
"Fortunately, Liu Lan brought me those ten Thunderflame Crystals. Otherwise, I would still be unable to reach the Thunderflame Battle Body. However, now …"
Long Chen could feel that he was only a little bit away from reaching the second level of the Thunderflame Battle Physique.
"The 50th Thunder Flame Crystal should be the key."
At this time, Long Chen's heart was very calm.
The more important the situation, the more he needed his current state of mind.
"You seem to be in danger from that one. Long Chen, do you want to absorb another one?"
Lingxi stood in the middle of the remaining Thunder Flame Crystals. Her body was actually a little smaller than the Thunder Flame Crystals. Of course, she could grow bigger, but it would be very taxing on her Spirit power.
Taking a deep breath, Long Chen nodded and said, "Success or failure depends on the next one. How could I give up at this time?"
Hearing his calm tone, Lingxi felt a little pity in her heart. She knew that Long Chen had been shouldering a little too many things recently.
On one hand, it was her own matter. On the other hand, it was Ling Qing's matter. Mo Xiaolang's matter was also stuck in his heart. Many people would not let him have an easy time. It could be said that if he could not pass the inner tribe selection, Long Chen's life would be over.
Without any power or backing, Chu Yunxi or Jin Shengen could easily eliminate him.
"Little Xi, step aside."
Long Chen picked up the 50th Thunder Flame Crystal and put away the remaining eight.
In these three days, he had absorbed a total of 19 Thunder Flame Crystals. Compared to before, his efficiency this time was very high.
"Hopefully, I will be able to settle this Thunder Flame Crystal before the inner tribe selection. If even this one is useless, I will not be able to use the other things for the time being."
Long Chen silently said in his heart.
Lingxi obediently listened to Long Chen's words and hid at the edge of the basement. Lingxi frowned. Suddenly, she smiled and was secretly delighted. "That's right, how could I forget this move? This is a high Profound class battle technique. It seems that Long Chen can completely learn it!"
Of course, Long Chen could not hear what she said in her heart. He was preparing to absorb the last Thunder Flame Crystal.
He raised the Thunder Flame Crystal and used his true Qi to absorb it into his body.
One could see that the Thunder Flame Crystal, which was surrounded by flames and lightning, turned into a ball of liquid under the touch of his true Qi. It merged into Long Chen's body. Suddenly, Long Chen frowned!
"As expected, the attack this time is ten times more violent than the last time. Moreover, if I can endure it, it should be over very quickly!"
This time, when the fiftieth Thunder Flame Crystal entered Long Chen's body, it was like a thunderstorm that rapidly whistled through his body. It quickly swept up all the Thunder Flame Crystals that he had fused with in the past. It was like a tornado that rapidly rotated within Long Chen's body. Wherever it passed, whether it was his bones or muscles, they were all pulverized into powder!
It was only the beginning, but Long Chen was already enduring a pain that he had never experienced before. His face instantly twisted, and one could see just how much pain he was enduring.
"Long Chen!"
Seeing Long Chen in such a state, Lingxi immediately felt very worried. She was about to step forward when suddenly, a web of lightning intertwined and flames surged towards her.
Lingxi hurriedly dodged.
This lightning web of flames had exploded from Long Chen's body. At the same time, Long Chen's words also appeared.
"Don't come near!"
Long Chen was definitely suffering inhumane torture at this moment, but he stubbornly refused to let anyone come near. This made Lingxi want to cry.
On one hand, she was worried about Long Chen. On the other hand, she did not know if she would interrupt Long Chen's absorption.
"Long Chen, are you okay …"
Lingxi's small face was a little pale. It was obvious that Long Chen's situation was not good.
At this moment, the energy of thunder and lightning had already exploded on Long Chen's body!
Boom!
Blood-red flames suddenly ignited on his body. Blood-red lightning twirled around his body non-stop. Soon, the two powers had completely enveloped him in a blood-red fireball of lightning. Meanwhile, Lingxi had completely lost contact with Long Chen.
How could Lingxi not be anxious when she saw this?
She had completely lost her sense of propriety. She paced around the basement anxiously, wondering if she should make a move. If she didn't make a move, Long Chen might very well die. If she made a move, she did not know what to do. Furthermore, she was afraid that this would affect Long Chen.
"Trust me, it's fine."
Just then, Long Chen's calm voice rang in Lingxi's ears. If Lingxi had tears, they would have been brimming with hot tears when she heard this.
"Scoundrel, you only know how to make people worry. If you continue like this, I won't care whether you live or die!"
Lingxi felt a little lost as she watched the young man who was working hard.
Her life had undergone such a huge change. If it hadn't been for Long Chen's appearance, perhaps she would have died long ago and disappeared from this world.
At the end of the day, Long Chen was still her savior. After spending so much time with Long Chen, it was impossible for a man and a woman not to feel some strange emotions.
"What should I do?
Mother … Where exactly is my future … "
As she stared blankly in the direction of Long Chen, Lingxi suddenly felt her heart empty.
This feeling of being suspended in the air made her feel extremely terrified.
Just then, the fireball of lightning suddenly exploded and looked like it was about to completely blow up the basement!
"Long Chen!"
As Lingxi cried out in shock, the exploding fireball and lightning retreated and were finally swallowed by a figure. In Lingxi's eyes, Long Chen's appearance gradually appeared.
The current Long Chen had changed a lot compared to when he had just broken through to the Earth Core Realm. He was still in his Dragon Soul Transformation state, so his original appearance couldn't be seen.
However, just from the faint fireball and lightning flowing in his eyes, and the sharp aura on his body that was like a sharp sword, Lingxi knew that he had most likely succeeded this time!
The 50th Thunder Flame Crystal had only been fusing for a short while, but it had also almost taken Long Chen's life.
The fusion this time could basically be said to be extremely dangerous, but Long Chen had managed to persevere in the end.
Because he had faith in his heart.
In front of Long Chen, Lingxi was laughing and crying at the same time as she looked at him.
"Little girl, looking at this daddy's second level Thunder Flame Battle Physique, how many times does your heart beat in a quarter of an hour?"
Long Chen said with a laugh.
"Stinking scoundrel!"
Lingxi looked at him angrily and bumped into his body a few times. After hurting herself a few times, she complained and suddenly asked sneakily, "Hey, I have a high mystic rank combat skill, do you want to learn it?"
"Eh?
When did you have a high mystic rank combat skill? "
Lingxi was a little embarrassed and said, "This was when I was very young. At that time, it was my father who made me learn to play with it. I thought I had long forgotten about it, but just now, I accidentally remembered it …"
Did he accidentally recall it?
Long Chen rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense, quickly give it to big brother."
"What big brother?" Lingxi rolled her eyes and said proudly, "I'll only give it to you if you call me big sister, hmph!"
