Chapter 780: Shell
“Not bad, not bad!” When Bai Lan saw how sorry his good friend looked, he laughed heartily. Lei Ji walked up to him dejectedly and sighed. “He’s halfway through the cultivation process, yet it’s already better than my Heavenly Thunder Combat Body. When he reaches the late stage, then you wouldn’t dare test him even with your Divine Demon Body either, right, Brother Bai?”
“Don’t try provoking me. I won’t fall for it.” Bai Lan chuckled. He knew that Lei Ji was trying to ask him to try taking a punch from Long Chen too. How could he fall for that?
They were utterly impressed by the toughness of Long Chen’s Seven Star Body. It could be considered a top-tier body tempering technique across the whole Ancient Graveyard.
“In that case, I shall excuse myself. There’s only half a day left, and Yan’er needs me.” Long Chen bade them farewell and returned to Suyan’s courtyard. Her body had healed significantly, so she spent most of her time cultivating.
When she saw Long Chen arrive, the girl was overjoyed. However, she knew that there was no chance they would get together, so she chose to wish him well. That was why she always maintained a small distance between them.
Girls matured earlier than boys, and Suyan was fourteen. She was not a child anymore and was at an age equivalent to a budding flower.
Long Chen and Suyan chatted for a while in the elegant courtyard. When it was almost time, Long Chen let her consume dragon blood once more, thus prolonging her life by another ten days. She would completely heal after about a hundred days total.
When it was done, Suyan asked, “Big Brother, I hear that you have been cultivating the Seven Star Body these days. Have you succeeded?”
“I have reached the midpoint. In about ten days, I should be able to reach the late stage.” There were also only ten days left until the promised duel against Situ Yu.
