Chapter 5738: Baptism in the Sacred Pool
The road wasn't wide, but it wasn't too narrow either. Two groups of people passed through simultaneously, making it quite easy. However, the people coming from the opposite direction had practically blocked the path, leaving only a very narrow passage.
Long Chen seemed to be still "immersed" in his joy and didn't notice the people ahead. He continued walking forward. Just as he was about to brush past the members of the Mo family, suddenly one of them leaned into him, bumping into his shoulder.
"Be careful!"
Yanfeng hadn't anticipated that these people would be so audacious as to initiate a physical confrontation here. He got angry instantly and hurriedly reached out to pull Long Chen.
"Hey, hey!"
However, due to Long Chen's imbalance and Yanfeng's pulling, Long Chen's body rotated rapidly. In the midst of his dance-like movements, his large hand fiercely slapped the face of the person who had bumped into him.
"Smack."
The sound wasn't particularly loud, but it was crisp and clear. Everyone in the vicinity could hear it distinctly. The person who had bumped into Long Chen didn't exert too much force, as they only intended to embarrass him. Moreover, they didn't dare to use too much force, knowing that causing harm within the clan could lead to severe punishment.
However, after bumping into Long Chen, before he could feel any satisfaction, Long Chen's hand came down hard on his face, delivering a resounding slap that left him seeing stars and feeling disoriented. If someone hadn't reached out to support him, he might have fallen to the ground.
At that moment, everyone was stunned. Long Chen's slap seemed somewhat peculiar, both accidental and intentional.
"You dare to lay hands on someone?"
The Mo family's strong individuals were immediately furious.
"It was clearly you who deliberately bumped into him. Long Chen lost his balance, and that's how he accidentally collided with your people. Why do you have to turn the tables?" Luoying directly counterattacked.
"Where did you see us deliberately bump into someone?" The other side was also unreasonable, yelling loudly.
"You're being utterly unreasonable, aren't you?"
"What's wrong with being unreasonable?"
For a moment, both sides were getting more and more fired up. The Mo family's members were deliberately provoking, acting arrogantly. The members of the Luo family were starting to lose their patience.
Long Chen hid within the crowd, "pretending to be pitiable." Observing this scene, Long Chen felt it was quite childish. These were just a bunch of children who hadn't experienced brutal education and were still in their rebellious phase.
Perhaps years of peaceful life had nurtured their immaturity and foolishness. Long Chen felt like he belonged to a completely different world from these children who grew up in a sheltered environment.
The disciples of the Luo family protected Long Chen, clearly viewing him as weak due to his failure to condense the Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi. They were worried he might get hurt.
"Now you think you're impressive with a ninth-grade bloodline? Your Luo family has completely declined. Isn't Luo Zichuan dead yet?" At this moment, a disciple from the Mo family sneered.
"What the...!"
Hearing his words, Long Chen's anger erupted. He charged forward, his movements lightning-fast. Long Chen seized the person by the chin before he could react.
"I'll teach you to watch your mouth..."
Long Chen roared, his powerful hand exerting force.
"Splurt."
Amidst the splatter of blood, Long Chen's grip caused the person's mouth to burst open.
"Bang."
Long Chen's foot moved like lightning, brutally kicking the person's groin. An explosive sound echoed, and the person's legs instantly split apart from the navel.
At this moment, Long Chen was gnashing his teeth, akin to a ferocious beast. This person had dared to insult his grandfather. Thinking of his grandfather's appearance, Long Chen almost lost control and considered killing this entire group.
Yanfeng and the others were also taken aback. Who would have thought that Long Chen, who seemed soft and weak, would unleash such ferocity?
Though the person hadn't died, his miserable state shocked everyone. The strong individuals of the Mo family were also taken aback.
"You bunch of ignorant brats who don't know their place! Dare to be mouthy again? Do you believe I'll make you regret ever stepping into this world?" Long Chen roared, exuding an aura like a roaring thunderstorm. His chilling intent frightened the group of strong individuals, leaving their faces pale.
At this moment, Long Chen seemed like a primordial beast. One should remember that over the years, Long Chen had battled far and wide, slaughtering countless beings, accumulating boundless killing intent.
Usually, Long Chen controlled his aura, striving to maintain a calm mentality to prevent the killing intent from affecting his rationality and nourishing the power of inner demons.
However, once he was engulfed in anger, his killing intent would erupt. Even battle-hardened experts would feel a chill from this kind of killing intent, let alone this group of sheltered children.
"You... you dare to hurt someone! Wait and see, we'll report this to the Court of Justice. Be prepared to face punishment!" Terrified, they left these harsh words and hurriedly carried the unconscious person away.
Seeing them flee, Long Chen was still gnashing his teeth. Luoying quickly comforted him, "Don't worry. We have people in the Court of Justice. Besides, they started the provocation and humiliation. Even if you harmed them, it can be justified. At most, you might need to apologize and pay a fine in Purple Crystal Stones."
Thinking Long Chen was trembling due to remorse, they stepped forward to console him. Unbeknownst to them, Long Chen was shivering because he was forcibly suppressing his killing intent. These ignorant fools were truly despicable.
Not even half a day into joining the Purple Blood Clan, Long Chen was already feeling impatient. However, for the sake of his grandfather and his mother, he had to endure.
"Long Chen, your strength is a bit frightening. Your kick almost blew that guy up," a disciple of the Luo family said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Long Chen's kick was incredibly powerful. The person on the receiving end was a Nine Veins Heaven Saint, and yet Long Chen's kick had broken through his defensive purple light.
Long Chen secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, that person's bloodline power automatically protected him. Otherwise, Long Chen's kick would have killed him on the spot.
"Let's go. We'll take you to collect the benefits of being a core disciple. Forget about those guys. Even if they do report, it takes ten days to go through the procedure. Don't let this bother you for now," Yanfeng said.
Guided by Yanfeng and the others, Long Chen obtained his identity medallion, clothing, and other items in an unassuming location. He declined the clothing, as he was accustomed to wearing his own black robe.
When asked about his choice of weapon, Long Chen followed the majority and chose a long sword.
As Long Chen received the weapon, he couldn't help but sigh at the depth of the Purple Blood Clan. The long sword was a Human Emperor Divine Weapon, engraved with runes specifically designed for the Purple Blood Clan. Only the power of Purple Blood could activate it. It was exceptionally sharp and astonishingly powerful.
After receiving the identity medallion, Yanfeng led Long Chen to a teleportation array. They arrived in front of a mountain gate, where Yanfeng pointed and said, "Brother, that's where the Holy Pool Baptism takes place. Those who have undergone the baptism are not allowed to approach it.
With your medallion, enter the Holy Pool and undergo the baptism. The Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi of our clan awakens automatically; you don't need to do anything. Just try to avoid conflicts inside because we won't be able to protect you in there."
"Thank you," Long Chen nodded and walked towards the gate, holding the medallion in his hand.
