Supreme Dragon Lord

Chapter 402: Success in Refinement!

Inside the room, Long Chen faced the collected herbs, having already refined them all. Looking down at the vial after vial of Elixir Pills, he finally let out a long, slow exhale. Alchemy required immense concentration, and refining Elixir Pills for so many days straight had been a significant drain on him.

"These Elixir Pills should be enough for now," Long Chen murmured with a smile. He slowly got to his feet, stretched his limbs, and felt remarkably refreshed. He then walked to the door and pushed it open.

The moment Long Chen appeared, the eyes of every freshman outside turned to him.

Qi Yuanchen strode toward Long Chen and asked anxiously, "Brother Long, are the Elixir Pills refined?"

"Sorry to have kept you all waiting," Long Chen said calmly. "Refining Elixir Pills does take some time. I—"

"HAHAHA—"

Before Long Chen could finish, he was interrupted by Zhang Cangsong’s wild laughter.

Long Chen looked toward the sound and saw Zhang Cangsong clutching his sides, roaring with laughter.

"Enough!" Zhang Cangsong sneered. "If you couldn’t refine them, you couldn’t refine them. Why make so many excuses? This was bound to happen! Who do you think you are? A savior? Not just anyone can play that part! For you to think you could refine Elixir Pills is the height of foolishness!"

With that, Zhang Cangsong’s gaze landed on Long Xin. "See? He failed to refine the Elixir Pills. According to our agreement, you’ll be with me from now on!"

Hearing this, Long Chen’s brow furrowed. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice low.

"I made a deal with her just now," Zhang Cangsong taunted. "If you successfully refined the Elixir Pills, I would kowtow and call you ’Father’!"

"But since you failed, she has to be with me! Long Chen, I really must thank you this time! Thank you for failing, and thank you even more for delivering such a beautiful girl to this young master! So I won’t be shy. I’ll just take her for myself, and I promise to take *very* good care of her!"

"Rascal!" Long Xin rebuked angrily. "Shameless!"

"You’re my woman now. Don’t be angry, or you’ll make my heart ache!" Zhang Cangsong smirked. "Don’t you worry. Stick with this young master, and I’ll be sure to dote on you! I’m nothing like him, unable to even protect his own woman. How pathetic..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a figure flashed before him.

Zhang Cangsong’s nerves instantly tensed. He hastily gathered his strength and threw a powerful punch forward. A piercing whistle tore through the air as his fist flew, but in the next second, a large hand clamped down on it, stopping it cold.

Alarm shot through Zhang Cangsong. He desperately channeled more power into his fist, but it wouldn’t budge an inch. A powerful force enveloped him, making his entire body feel heavy. His expression changed drastically as a sense of dread washed over him.

CRACK!

With a sharp twist, Long Chen snapped Zhang Cangsong’s wrist.

"AAAHHH!!" Zhang Cangsong’s face contorted in agony as he let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

With a flick of his arm, Long Chen sent him flying.

Zhang Cangsong crashed hard onto the ground. His insides churned, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood as spiderweb cracks exploded across the hard earth beneath him. The wave of agony was too much to bear, and Zhang Cangsong lost consciousness.

Long Chen’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint within them. He brought his foot down hard on Zhang Cangsong’s chest.

PUH!

The intense pain jolted the unconscious man awake, and another spray of blood erupted from his mouth.

"You dare insult Xin’er?" Long Chen’s eyes filled with killing intent. "You’re courting death!"

"No! Don’t..." Sensing the thick killing intent in Long Chen’s gaze, a chill shot down Zhang Cangsong’s spine. He trembled uncontrollably and began to beg for his life.

Deaf to his pleas, Long Chen moved to land the killing blow.

Just then, Qi Yuanchen rushed to his side and grabbed his arm. "Brother Long, you can’t kill him!"

"Are you telling me what to do?" Long Chen snapped his head around, shooting a cold glare at Qi Yuanchen.

Just one look sent a chill down Qi Yuanchen’s spine, and he was too terrified to say another word.

Seeing this, Long Xin also hurried to Long Chen’s side. "Brother, let it go. You’ve already stood up for me. Killing him would only dirty your hands."

When Long Chen still seemed unwilling to spare Zhang Cangsong, Long Xin, not wanting him to get into trouble over her, took his arm and pulled him away.

She shook his arm gently. "Come on, Brother, don’t be angry. We don’t need to waste our time on worthless people like him."

At her words, Long Chen finally withdrew his gaze. He turned to Long Xin and nodded. "Alright."

A radiant smile blossomed on Long Xin’s lovely face when she saw he had listened to her. Joy filled her heart, because everything he had just done was to avenge the insult to her.

The knot of terror in Zhang Cangsong’s chest finally loosened when he realized Long Chen wasn’t going to kill him. Forcing himself to ignore the excruciating pain, he scrambled to his feet and fled in a panic, not daring to linger for even a second longer, terrified that any delay would mean his death.

Who cared about so-called dignity at a time like this? Saving his own skin was all that mattered!

After dealing with that buffoon, the scene once again fell silent.

The eyes of every freshman present fell upon Long Chen. No one spoke; they were all quietly waiting for his answer.

Long Chen glanced at them and, with a wave of his hand, several Jade Vials appeared from his Storage Ring.

Seeing this, Qi Yuanchen and the others were stunned. He hurried forward and picked up one of the Jade Vials to examine it. The moment he opened it, a rich Pill Fragrance wafted out. The mere scent was invigorating.

Qi Yuanchen’s somber face was instantly replaced with a broad smile.

"Minor Rejuvenation Pill!"

"It’s actually a Minor Rejuvenation Pill!"

An expression of utter disbelief spread across Qi Yuanchen’s face. He had never imagined that Long Chen could refine Minor Rejuvenation Pills of such high quality! Once consumed, a Minor Rejuvenation Pill could rapidly restore one’s Battle qi, providing a huge advantage in combat.

The other freshmen’s faces filled with shock upon hearing the name.

Minor Rejuvenation Pills?! Had they heard him correctly? Some were too stunned to even react, freezing where they stood. They exchanged glances, seeing the same utter astonishment reflected in each other’s eyes.

Qi Yuanchen was ecstatic, his hands trembling with excitement. He proceeded to open the rest of the Jade Vials. Every single one was filled with Elixir Pills! Besides the Minor Rejuvenation Pills, there were other types mixed in as well.

Moreover, every single pill was of extremely high quality, simply incomparable to ordinary Elixir Pills. Everyone stared at Long Chen in amazement, their eyes filled with delighted surprise. Refining Elixir Pills was already difficult, but the purity of the pills Long Chen had produced was on another level. It was a difference like that of heaven and earth!

Seeing everyone’s joy, Long Chen smiled faintly and asked, "With these to use against the seniors, how confident are you now?"
