Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

“Senior apprentice-sister Wanyi, have you brought your... friend to take the test? We’ll let you go first!”

The disciple who was next in line immediately stepped aside and gestured for her to go ahead; following his lead, the others also gestured for Xie Wanyi and Long Chen to go on.

Xie Wanyi was rather embarrassed, and hastily said, “I’m bringing my big brother to take the test. But we’re in no rush!”

Xie Wanyi might tease Luo Dongcheng, that was because she actually liked him. She was very modest and reserved towards others.

Hearing Xie Wanyi call Long Chen his big brother, these disciples were all surprised. They assumed that she meant her biological brother. In that case, since Xie Wanyi was on the Golden Ranking, this big brother of hers had to be extraordinary as well!

“Senior apprentice-sister Wanyi, it’ll be my turn soon. I’ll give you my place and line up at the end!” said one female disciple.

“No, there’s really no need...” said Xie Wanyi hastily.

“You don’t need to line up again. We all want to see your big brother take the test! It’ll be a good experience for us!”

“Yes, please just go ahead. Let us see the style of a peerless heavenly genius.”

“Senior apprentice-sister Wanyi, I wonder what kind of constitution your big brother will have!”

Everyone grew excited and directly opened a path. They looked as if they were ready to give up their own test if Long Chen refused to go ahead.

“Big brother, I think you should go!” said Xie Wanyi with a smile.

“What is this constitution they speak of?” asked Long Chen.

“Big brother, you’ve been gone from the violet blood race for too long. After the new era came, our bloodline absorbed the new era’s laws and underwent a massive transformation. The power hidden in our bloodline began to awaken, and even our essence runes changed. Even our constitutions changed. Don’t tell me you haven’t noticed any change?”

Hearing Xie Wanyi’s explanation, Long Chen of how he had used the power of the earth to sense things incredibly far. Combined with the Star Cloud Steps, he had accurately moved an extreme distance. There was a long journey from the divine capital all the way to the Spirit Heart Sect, and yet he had done it in the blink of an eye.

At that time, he assumed that it was due to his Dao comprehension. But now it seemed it was due to advancing to the first Heavenstage and absorbing the new era’s laws, thus awakening a new ability.

Xie Wanyi said, “The violet blood race has multiple constitutions. Amongst the top heavenly geniuses, there are three in particular of the highest rank: the Violet Blood King Body, the Violet Blood Paragon Body, and the Violet Blood Saint Body. It’s actually very easy to distinguish between these three constitutions. For example, this is mine!”

Xie Wanyi formed hand seals, and a violet rune appeared on her forehead. This violet rune had three dragon-shaped chains around it. They were like three lively little dragons slithering around mischievously.

When they saw this rune, the surrounding disciples all cried out in shock.

“Heavens, the Violet Blood Saint Constitution’s essence rune!”

“One dragon for a King, two dragons for a Paragon, and three for a Saint! They’re as different as clouds from mud!”

“Damn... I’ve been lined up for a long time, and even after thousands of people went through the test, not a single King constitution appeared.”

Some people were envious, some were worshipful, and some wallowed in self-pity.

Just then, an icy woman’s voice rang out that made the entire testing area fall silent.

“How are you going to grow up when you’re always making such a fuss?”

Two women walked in. Both of them were slender and refined, but one was short and one was tall.

Well, rather than saying one was short, it should be said one was normal, while the other was extremely tall for a woman. In fact, she was a full head taller than even Long Chen. She definitely stood out in the crowd.

Seeing her, Long Chen was instantly reminded of the one he’d nicknamed “great beauty,” Feng You. They were both beautiful, and both tall as well, but Feng You had the wild charm of a warm-blooded warrior, while this woman was more of the icy princess type. She looked as if she had no idea what a smile even was. Moreover, even though her tone was not harsh, the lack of emotion in her speech gave her a kind of unquestionable dignity, the kind that suffered no insult.

Xie Wanyi was startled to see her. “Oh, it’s Shen Qingxue!”

“Ah, is that the name of the massive beauty?” asked Long Chen.

“Massive beauty?”

Xie Wanyi stared at him. This big brother of hers really did like to give people nicknames... Xie Wanyi was about to explain when Shen Qingxue looked over. Her gaze faltered slightly when she saw Xie Wanyi. She hadn’t been expecting to see her here.

She was about to nod towards Xie Wanyi when her gaze suddenly shifted to Long Chen. The moment her gaze met Long Chen’s, her eyes suddenly widened.

Her eyes became crystalline, and a sharp light radiated from them. It seemed to penetrate everything, and see through Long Chen.

“Violet Crystal Heavenly Pupils? How is that possible?”

Long Chen was startled. This woman actually possessed the incredible Violet Crystal Heavenly Pupils! To the best of his knowledge, this was an ability that belonged exclusively to the Heavenly Eye race. How did someone from the violet blood race awaken it?

Shen Qingxue was also startled. Her divine ability had automatically activated the instant their eyes met. This told her that all her other senses were ineffective against Long Chen.

There was no time for Long Chen to think. When these crystalline eyes appeared, black spots instantly appeared in Long Chen’s eyes. It was as if the Purgatory Eyes had been provoked, and they almost went out of control!

Long Chen almost jumped in fright and hastily closed his eyes. He wasn’t even fully recovered from the last time he had used the Purgatory Eyes. He didn’t want to end up blind for good.

Shen Qingxue also hastily stopped her Violet Crystal Heavenly Pupils as well. Her eyes returned to normal. Her expression was still flat, with no trace of emotion, but there were huge waves in her heart. Long Chen had closed his eyes quickly, but not quickly enough. With the Violet Crystal Heavenly Pupils, she had seen very clearly what was going on in his eyes. And even though it was just for an instant, it made her hair stand on end.

The Violet Crystal Heavenly Pupils saw mountains of corpses and seas of blood in those black spots. Nothing but death and destruction. At the same time, she felt like she had seen another blurry figure that seemed to be Long Chen, but that figure was wearing white robes. That figure seemed to sense her gaze and turned around slightly. At that moment, she felt a sharp pain in her eyes, as if needles were stabbing them.

Fortunately, Long Chen closed his eyes quickly, and the pain vanished.

Yet even though that person had not fully turned around, she felt as if she had just seen a devil from hell. Her heart was beating wildly, and her Blood Qi was surging. Even though she hadn’t even looked that person in the eyes, she felt a terrifying sensation of death. She had never experienced such a thing before.

Shen Qingxue walked up to Long Chen and bowed slightly. “I am Shen Qingxue. May I ask who you are?”

“You can call me big brother.”
