Martial Research Master

Chapter 31: LONG MENGCHEN’S BACKGROUND

Long Tao, Di Tao, and Long Mengchen were the top three participants. The rest hooded figures who were in the top 8 only get to choose a technique of Qi master level in the royal treasury.

The top 3 gets to not only choose a technique but also get a personally tailored weapon for themselves, built by the Iron hall, along with a chance to train for one month in the forbidden place of the Jiao clan.

It was after all a place where the Qi general realm members and the king of the royal clan trained. It was said to have some particular types of energy.

The 1st rank holder also gets a chance to be under the tutelage of a Qi general ancestor of the royal family. If impressed by the performance, he/she might even be accepted as a disciple.

.........................................................................

The night soon came upon, and Long Tao was preparing to retire into the Crimson Lord world for training when suddenly the bar-keep of the inn, approached him and informed that some people have come to meet with him.

Long Tao could already decipher who they might be, and as his expectations were on point, two members of the Long Clan were standing outside the inn.

.....

Incidentally, it was Long Dangtian and his father coming to see Long Tao. They were waiting in the lounge. Long Tao approached them and seeing him coming towards them, Long Dangtian stood up and greeted

” Its good to see you again, brother”. His father nodded too. Long Tao cast towards them and said:

” I thought I made it clear that I do not belong to any clan or group and also didn’t have a family.”.

” Denying the obvious truth doesn’t change anything, boy” Long Ten spoke out loud.

“you are and will always be a member of my Long Clan. You like it or not, the more you prosper more will be the name of Long Clan do with you. So, it’s best if you return with us. Your father and mother love you, dearly. But after what you said out loud, he didn’t have the guts to face you. Hence he sends me.”.

Long Tao was calmly looking at Long Ten, with zero change of emotions. It made Long Ten even more apprehended of how deep the hatred between Long Tao and their clan has grown.

“I know this is our fault. Your father did everything in his limits to find you. Even till he finally arrived for the gathering, he still ordered down servants to search in the valley. All your mother do all day is crying out loud. It was the elder council that decided on not concentrating on his matter, because of obvious reasons.”

...................................................

” Because the grand Long Clan couldn’t be bothered because of a crippled child.”

Long Ten couldn’t find an objection to this. He had supported this motion. But if they knew of his talent, their actions would have been quite different from what it was now.

” Leave now, and I will spare you, next time this won’t go so peacefully”.

The 7-silhouette appeared at the same time, and for the first time Long Ten even after being at Qi master realm, was feeling the lingering sense of mortality and death.

Long Dangtian was thrown to his knees by the pressure exerted by the silhouette.

“Return to the Long Clan and tell this them, especially my father, don’t ever try to bother me again.”

“There will be some dire consequences otherwise.”,

Long Ten knew that he couldn’t face the assault of these eight at the same time. He knew each one of them held back during their fights, otherwise each of them will be as powerful as Long Tao now.

Both of them left, and so did the seven other silhouettes. Long Tao again ordered a meal and had his fill, before he retired for the night.

............................................................

In the crimson lord world, the two avatars in the training section had never moved from this place since the beginning and were continuing their cultivation. One was focusing on the Qi realm cultivation while the other was cultivating the body.

The sixth meridian was almost broken through after so long in training. He decided to open up all his primary meridians and before going for the acupoints.

In another section, all the avatars have returned now, and we’re continuing in their respective training sections. Long Tao had decided that he will try to break through the Qi master realm, with the help of the ancient forbidden land, and then proceeds towards training in the sects and location she had chosen.

................................................

His avatars will join star emperor academy, thunder god hall, firmament palace, and the Pill hall. One will join the military academy under the name of Di Tao, and his true self will enter the north-eastern army region.

Hence, seven will always be out of the realm from now on. Each of the avatars could access the domain individually and independently and come to recuse instantly given the other fell in a dire situation.

He first asked the keeper to accompany him and be alert when he is choosing a technique so that he could provide some advice.

The only thing that was putting an invisible hurdle was that Long Tao had yet not comprehended the formation. He was already a 1st-grade peak weapon grandmaster and alchemist. But he still couldn’t understand the array for Qi gathering that accompanied the Hellspawn art. He estimated that this was only possible when he knows the 2nd level of formations.

.....................................................

The keeper was watching the whole training session. He was also impressed by how far-thinking this inheritor was. The training would have continued when suddenly, the keeper said:

” You have some guests. From what I can see, these are the same people we felt while in the arena. These should be the ones who protect that little sister of yours.”.

“Can you confirm their cultivation level?”

“One is a Qi general peak cultivator, just a step away from the king realm. Surprisingly the other is already a Qi king realm level practitioner.”.

Long Tao was shocked. Mengchen had a Qi king cultivator protecting her in the dark. Was this her father or something?

..................................................

In the room, Long Tao slowly opened his eyes, reached out to the kettle and poured 3 cups of tea and sat on the table, and with an expressionless face.

” shouldn’t the two guests show themselves. Although this one is short on financial resources, I am capable enough to show basic hospitality.”

Two figures appeared in Long Tao’s view. They sat on the chair and grabbed the cup of tea served to them.

“May I know who the guests are?”

One of the figures retorted with aggressiveness: ” You are not eligible to know that yet brat. What you need to inform us about first is how did you manage to sense us and who are you?”

Long Tao showed an incredibly calm smile on his face and replied:

“Senior is already so accomplished in Qi cultivation, reaching Qi general Peak realm in such an age. Your aggressiveness scares this youngling, and I beg your pardon for all mistakes caused by me.”

The figure was surprised don Long Tao’s words but before he could say anything:

“But of course the real guest of honor is you, sir. A Qi King coming to visit me is a huge event. To what do I owe such grand luck. Honestly, my appetite is not that large. Also” turning his head towards the other Daoist.

” I am sorry for this offense, but as per the question you asked before, you too are not eligible to know the answers”. Then he again faced the Qi King, lifting his cup in honor of the man and drank it up.

..............................................................

“I would like you to apologize to our young miss. You have broken her heart,” The martial king didn’t waste time directly stating his aim.

Long Tao smiled again and said” What Daoist said is wrong. Mengchen was no doubt hurt in the process, but she has nobody to blame but herself. I honestly expected more given her talent. Also, this should provide her with the motivation to become stronger.”.

“How dare you?” the Qi General wanted to attack Long Tao but was stopped.

“Your words might be true. It could prove to be a good motivation for her. As her servant, I humbly thanks you for what you have done.” Long Tao was shocked. A Qi king was merely a servant of Mengchen, just how big was her background.

.................................................

The two then stood up and vanished from sight. Long Tao sighed a breath of relief. It was a situation he hated the most. He was feeling helpless.

He needed to get back and increase hi straining speed. If it was real and Long Mengchen had such a background, then he couldn’t just waste his time in the real world and continued his training.

.....................................................

At a faraway place, two figures re-appeared, and the Qi general asked:

” Why did we let him go?”

The other guy sighed and said” Even with your cultivation realm so high you still are so impulsive. Did you see the guy, he was not even panicking after seeing us. And how do you think he knew our realms. He has a backer in the dark too, and I couldn’t sense him. Means his backer is more potent than either of us”.

The Qi king contemplated and nodded.

” Also, what he said did have a reason behind it. It is a good test for young miss. Only by gaining proper motivation can she reach the true height of power.”
