Long Chen didn't know that there was actually a bored old guy who would bet on this kind of thing. At this time, in his world, the only thing left was this rotating astral energy that surrounded him. At this time, the leaves under Long Chen's feet had already been crushed by the astral energy, and everything that came close had already been crushed. So, Long Chen could only use his true essence to float in the air.
Here, there was Bai Lan's protection, so Long Chen didn't worry about anything happening.
Under the encirclement of this astral energy, Long Chen felt as if he was surrounded by countless blades, and those drifting astral energy cut Long Chen's skin painfully. A long time ago, Long Chen had fused with something called the Thunder Flame Bead and formed the Thunder Flame Battle Body. That feeling was also quite terrifying, but compared to the astral energy in the sky, the pain of fusing with the Thunder Flame Bead was really nothing.
For the past two hours, Long Chen had endured it with all his might.
However, his personality was like this. The more difficult something was, the more he wanted to challenge it. Although the pain from before was still vivid in his mind, Long Chen still used so much astral energy. His goal was to completely refine all the astral energy in his body.
Even in the next seven or eight days, Long Chen had decided to practice this Seven Glorious Star Body here. His kind of perseverance was unimaginable to anyone.
Facing difficulties, this was the most tenacious quality of Long Chen.
At this time, Long Chen completely closed his eyes, not caring about the influence of the astral energy on him.
After that, he controlled the astral energy and separated a strand from it. Without thinking, he directed it towards his arm. With his previous experience, although he knew that it would still hurt, Long Chen had gained a lot of experience.
Soon, the astral energy was attached to his body.
Pain,
Endless pain,
As if there were countless knives cutting his arm, Long Chen could only clench his teeth. At the same time, he also controlled more astral energy to flow into his arm, controlling the movement of the astral energy in his arm, strengthening his skin, flesh, bones, and blood vessels.
Under the forging of the astral energy, Long Chen's flesh and bones were constantly strengthened. This was enough for Long Chen, so Long Chen endured.
"Only by enduring, can I succeed …"
Sometimes, he was such a one-track minded person.
Time gradually passed, after clenching his teeth again and again, Long Chen's face was already pale, and his forehead was covered with sweat, but he did not stop his pace. At this time, his arm was full of entangled purple astral energy. These astral energy were like ferocious beasts, constantly roaring in his arm.
Every roar represented the destruction and reconstruction of Long Chen's body.
Time gradually passed, and Long Chen's arm was gradually strengthened. Two hours passed very quickly, and the astral astral qi had already disappeared by a tenth. At this moment, Lei Ji, who was in the distance, was dumbfounded. He said in astonishment, "This brat's tenacity is really beyond my expectations. The astral qi just now must have already caused him great pain. This time, not only did he draw in so much astral qi, he even refined another tenth of it. Don't tell me he really wants to finish all of it? If he does, I guess another night will come."
"Let's wait and see. This kid will give us a lot of surprises. If he didn't have this kind of temperament, how could he have obtained so many things with his weak strength? Most of the time, luck isn't the key factor. Instead, it's the person who can seize the opportunity."
Lei Ji also felt that this was reasonable. Before this, he had always felt that Long Chen was just lucky. But from today onwards, he had a whole new level of respect for Long Chen.
Time continued to pass, and under the astonished gazes of the two, the astral energy around Long Chen gradually decreased. By the time day arrived, only four-fifths of the astral energy was left. By noon, it was estimated that only one-half of it would be left.
At this moment, Bai Lan and Lei Ji's faces were filled with shock. Even Bai Lan was just casually talking about it. In his heart, he didn't think that Long Chen would be so monstrous.
However, Long Chen was just that monstrous.
Very quickly, under the numb gazes of Bai Lan and Lei Ji, noon arrived. At this moment, Lei Ji's expression was extremely conflicted. One could see that the astral energy around Long Chen's body was only one-half of what it originally was.
"Go on, little brother, don't be so polite with your elder brother." At this moment, the young-looking Bai Lan laughed.
"Just you wait. The humiliation today, I will return it to you one day," Lei Ji said in exasperation.
Lei Ji said in exasperation. As a man, he had to keep his word. Since he had lost the bet, Lei Ji would naturally be willing to accept his loss. Thus, his body quickly disappeared from Bai Lan's sight. Not long after, a rumbling sound could be heard from below.
"I, Lei Ji, am a big dumb donkey."
In Cyanwood Sky City, countless people raised their heads. They were incomparably shocked at first, thinking that someone was teasing Lei Ji and insulting him. But when they heard it clearly, it seemed that Lei Ji had said it himself.
Although they didn't understand the reason why Lei Ji would say such a thing, the crowd couldn't help but laugh.
Lei Ji had lost a lot of face this time. However, he was a person who could let go of things. Soon, he returned to Bai Lan's side. Bai Lan's sneering appearance made Lei Ji flustered and exasperated. However, when he looked at Long Chen, he saw that Long Chen was still absorbing the astral energy to refine himself.
"Doesn't this kid know what pain is?" Lei Ji said in a speechless manner.
"He knows pain, but he is tenacious. In this aspect, many young people can't compare to him. At least, I know that no matter if it's Situ Yu or Xue 'er, they won't be able to learn the Seven Glorious Star Physique without spending a year. Especially Xue' er, she definitely can't endure such inhuman torture. Girls are afraid of pain, so they are much weaker in this aspect."
Lei Ji laughed and said, "You still dare to say that? Xue 'er and Yan' er are not spoiled by you. Their talent is very good, but they are far weaker than other young experts in actual combat. This time, you want Xue 'er to participate in the' Nine Clans Youth Martial Competition '. I estimate that the chances of her winning are very small. Furthermore, the competition is extremely dangerous, so how can you be willing?"
Bai Lan suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Who said I want my daughter to participate in the competition? It's not worth it to send my daughter to her grave for a spot in the Five Emperor Keys. There is someone else who will participate in the competition."
"Who do you think it is? Old ghost, don't keep me in suspense." Lei Ji said, puzzled.
"Far away, but close at hand," said Bai Lan.
Lei Ji now knew that he was talking about Long Chen.
"There are still about three months left. That's just enough for this kid to save my precious Yan 'er. With his talent and temperament, as well as treasures like the Martial God Tablet and the inheritance of the Seven Glorious Star Monarchs, how much do you think he will grow in three months?" asked Bai Lan.
"Three months. If he can pass the test in a month, then he will be very strong. I think Situ Yu is also very talented. I think he will probably reach the ninth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm."
"Everything is unknown," said Bai Lan.
The two of them no longer spoke. Instead, they looked at Long Chen. As time passed, their expressions became more and more unnatural. By the time night fell, Long Chen had already completely consumed the Astral Qi from before.
At this moment, Long Chen slowly recovered from the intense pain. At this moment, his face was already deathly pale. The intense pain had not lessened at all from beginning to end. In fact, as time passed, it became more and more terrifying. However, Long Chen still endured it in the end.
Clenching his teeth and persevering over and over again, he had succeeded.
After a day, Long Chen had completely refined his right arm with Stellar Qi. It was obvious that his right arm was completely different from the other parts of his body. At least in terms of weight and density, it was dozens of times greater. Compared to his left arm, Long Chen felt that his right arm had no strength at all.
Although the skin and flesh of his left arm looked the same as before, it could be seen from the occasional purple aura that his arm had been strengthened to a great extent, whether it was the skin and flesh on the outside, or the tendons and blood vessels inside. Long Chen only needed to completely refine his entire body with astral aura, and then draw in a large amount of astral aura to soak himself in for seven days and seven nights. Only then would he be able to finally complete the Seven Glorious Star Body.
From these steps, it could be seen how difficult it was to cultivate the Seven Glorious Star Body.
Bai Lan was right. If it were Su Xue, she probably wouldn't be able to cultivate the Seven Glorious Star Body in less than two years. Even Bai Lan and the others didn't believe that they could compare to Long Chen in this aspect.
Bai Lan and Lei Ji were somewhat stunned as they looked at Long Chen's left arm from afar.
"What a powerful body. The Seven Glorious Star Body is indeed terrifying. If it's successfully cultivated, it'll probably be even more terrifying than your Demon God Emperor Body."
Bai Lan nodded. "The cultivation method of the Demon God Emperor Body isn't that complicated, so what you said is very likely. Although they're both mid Emperor level body tempering battle skills, there's probably still a difference. The strength of the Seven Lords isn't balanced either. The Seven Glorious Star Lord is one of the strongest amongst the Seven Lords, especially with the Three Thousand Star Domain. No one can match its sharpness."
"So powerful?" Lei Ji didn't really understand the exact strength of the Seven Lords.
"That's only natural. Ah, look at Long Chen … he, he's actually drawing in Stellar Qi again." Bai Lan was stunned by Long Chen's actions. This was too monstrous.
"What?" Lei Ji was also dumbfounded. He stared at Long Chen. That brat Long Chen was actually activating the astral qi in his body.
"Heavens, he just rested for a while. How can there be such a terrifying person? Is his flesh made of iron, or is his heart made of iron?"
