Chapter 29: Long Chen in Debt
At this moment, a sudden overwhelming aura exploded from within him, spreading throughout all four corners of his hut, and rapidly overflowing out.
In a secluded location within the Sect, the Sect Leader, Yun Che Liang opened his eyes. He was able to sense everything that was happening within the Sect, and naturally could feel that wave of powerful energy.
It belonged to someone breaking through in the new disciple's huts?
He rose from his position, and quickly made his way there. Within seconds, he saw that the energy originated from the number 1 hut.
His eyes narrowed in realization, and he hurriedly built up a defensive formation blocking and isolating the overflowing waves of energy.
The Hut, under the overwhelming energy, totally destructed into pieces. And as the dust and debris slowly fell, a youth raising his head and roaring out in delightful laugher was revealed.
Yun Che Liang was about to instantly praise Long Chen for such a momentous breakthrough, when he saw the smug look on his face that was dying for a compliment.
His eyebrows twitched, then threw the idea of praising Long Chen to the Heavens.
He cannot let him become arrogant and haughty. If not, his future achievements will be limited.
Thinking of this, he coughed a few times, before he slowly strode towards his sight, his hands behind his back,
Then he lightly smiled as he immediately adopted a disposition of the Sect Leader talking down to the Disciples, and lightly complimented in a seemingly calm and careless manner, "The Elementary Realm. Not bad for your age. Keep up the good work."
Secretly within his heart, however, he was almost bursting with shock and astonishment. A 13 year old Qi Refinement Realm turned Elementary Realm in around a week of time
He vaguely reminded that he himself, who had been labelled as one of the greatest geniuses of his time, took at least a few months to make it to that stage.
However, he kept his surprise hidden within his heart, as he began to chide, "Look around you. What happened to the hut? Couldn't you choose a better place to breakthrough at in the first place? If I wasn't here to isolate the uncontrolled energy, how many other huts would you destroy? How many people would you have injured? "
"Whatever. People makes mistakes sometimes. I won't trouble you over such a foolish mistake this time. However, you still have to pay for the extensive damages you caused." Yun Che Liang glared at Long Chen, his eyes emanating a dominant presence, as though his words could only meant to be followed, never defied.
Long Chen was rendered speechless by this sudden outburst. It didn't seem to conform to the script in his mind. Wasn't the Sect Leader supposed to congratulate him and reward him for his breakthrough?
How did he abruptly turn out to be the one in the wrong, and had to pay back to the Sect instead?
"How…much?" Long Chen carefully asked. He had just used up all his Crystals, and was currently totally broke.
"100 Crystals!" Yun Che Liang declared in an authoritative tone.
Damn! This was absolutely ridiculous!
"No way!" Long Chen instantly yelled out. 100 Crystals? He couldn't even afford a single Crystal now, let alone 100.
Yun Che Liang released his oppressive aura in return, his eyes directly peering into the depths of Long Chen's eyes, his face clearly reading 'Either you die, or you pay.'
"Seeing this, Long Chen retracted his anger, and he lightly smiled, trying to give himself a warm and approachable presence
"Could you give me a discount?"
"No!" Yun Che Liang directly said without any place for negotiations.
"When did the Hut become so expensive? It just looks like a piece of wood sloppily put together!" Long Chen exclaimed in indignation.
"Hmph! How ignorant. Did you know that the red carpet inside the Hut is a Spiritual Tool that I chanced upon after climbing the mountains and braving the seas? That is an extremely rare Spiritual Tool that many other cultivators will die to have!" Yun Che Liang said in a low voice.
"The other 200 Huts seemed to have the same carpet." Long Chen softly mumbled to himself.
Yun Che Liang pretended not to hear him, as he continued on, "Not to mention, the type of wood that the hut was built from. It is a priceless treasure, called the Brown Strike Wood. It could not only calm a cultivator's state of mind, it could also help you recover your Qi Energy must faster!"
"Tsk. Still got destroyed by my breakthrough."
"It's okay if you can't pay for it now. You can stay in the Sect and work till you are able to repay your debts. Don't give up, the Sect is always here for you." Yun Che Liang patted Long Chen's shoulders, as he encouraged.
Yun Che Liang turned around his body to leave, when Long Chen called out to him.
"Wait! Sect Leader, do you have any treasures to reward me for such a breakthrough?"
Long Chen eyes stared at Yun Che Liang with glittering stars within.
Hehe since he had made it to Elementary Realm at only 13, he should receive his due rewards, right?
"Treasures? Treasures are meant to be for the fated. How treasures could be called treasures if they are simply given away so easily." Yun Che Liang raised his head to the sky, as he slowly said in a deep voice.
Just when Long Chen was about to interrupt, Yun Che Liang continued talking.
"And if my cultivation, I can sense that you are currently not fated for any treasures. What is not yours, will truly not be yours."
"And remember to pay attention to where you breakthrough in the future." Yun Che Liang reminded, before he slowly strode away and left with a huge grin on his face, evidently delighted by his gains.
"Tsk. Cheapskate." Long Chen coldly snorted in dissatisfaction
"He didn't tell me when to pay back the money anyways." Long Chen swept his gaze towards the broken hut, as he sighed.
It was time for him to start his monster hunting.
He check his status panel for a while

He manipulated the Elemental Qi within him, as he circulated around his body, bursting out in overwhelming power that normal Qi was unable to compare with.
The Elemental Qi was coursing and rumbling within him, filling him with strength, and a false impression rose within him, as if he was able to move the mountains and destroy the seas.
But of course, he definitely was not able to perform such a feat. He wasn't even able to fly yet, what was he talking about moving the mountains for.
He immersed himself in the newfound strength for a while, experimenting with the energy in various different ways, when a slip rose from the air into his hands.
He lowered his gaze to read it for a while, before a strange look appeared on his face.
The number one on the Heaven's Pride Ranking, Chen Yu Liang had returned to the Sect, and it was time for the challenge to begin.
If it was before, he would be anticipating this fight.
But after breaking through to the Elementary Realm, he felt it was rather bad to fight against him. Because this was simply bullying.
How could Chen Yu Liang possibly put up a fight against him?
Never mind, since Xiao Wan Wan had told him to pay special attention to him, then he shall just go then.
