Fierce Might Rages

"I'll pick them myself!" The Peerless Princess knew the importance of the matter for the future of Great Yan and took it all upon herself.

"Mhm, don't forget Yun Niang, it's best if she follows for a long time!"

The Peerless Princess nodded solemnly, "I will consider it carefully!"

"No... no, what are you considering? Isn't it just a matter of a sentence?"

"You don't understand! Alright, this is for you!" As she spoke, Ji Wushuang thrust a token into Lu Chen's hand.

"This is a token to enter and exit the Imperial Guard camp. If possible, don't show your true face from now on. After all, you're a prominent figure now and easily attract unnecessary trouble."

"Got it. Go be busy. I'll come over when the time comes!"

With that, Lu Chen flashed and disappeared from his original spot.

He directly teleported away.

"He's really direct!" Lu Wushuang muttered, took a deep breath, left the Imperial Guard camp, and entered the imperial palace.

She needed to get an imperial decree from her father and discuss where to select people from.

Although she was the Young Marshal, there weren't many royal descendants in the army. She needed to select from the enfeoffed royalty across the country.

Once they grew, they would bring a huge impact to the Great Yan royal family. It had to be handled with extreme caution and absolute secrecy.

However, it was the end of the year, and there were celebrations everywhere. Inserting the selection process into these events wouldn't attract any trouble.

Soon, under the Peerless Princess's covert arrangements, many people sneaked out of the city and headed to various regions to select disciples.

They only knew they were forming a new unit and didn't even know about awakening bloodlines.

The mission was to bring the qualified candidates to the Imperial Guard camp within ten days.

Lu Chen, who had left, browsed through various shops on the street before returning.

"Junior, there's someone named Shao Mo from the Shao family who wants to invite you to a banquet to explain a misunderstanding. He also sent an invitation!"

Before he could even sit down, Fang Jiuding came in and handed Lu Chen an invitation.

Lu Chen glanced at it and burned it directly.

He could guess the thoughts of this young master from a small family: he wanted to use him to get close to the Peerless Princess.

Afterward, he spread out a piece of paper and began to write.

These were all subjects he had trained in his previous life, combined with the current world and supplemented.

In addition, it would be best to equip the fixed team members with contracted beasts and forge them into heavy cavalry, preferably combining land and air capabilities.

Equipment also needed to be standardized.

There were many things to prepare.

After half a day of preparation, he had a clear plan in mind and then went to the Will Statue group for tempering.

The news of the princess's banquet, Lu Chen's bold words, and the incident where the Little Wolf King was almost crippled spread like wildfire, causing a huge sensation.

Tianyu Academy, through Yang Sheng, obtained the most accurate situation, and Lu Ran fell silent.

Two great Spiritual Powers!

But why hadn't he awakened these two Spiritual Powers?

Had he only peeled off the fur?

Little did they know, these were not Lu Chen's Spiritual Powers at all, but the result of his martial arts and cultivation techniques.

He hadn't even used his own Spiritual Powers, otherwise, he could have beaten the Little Wolf King to death with one punch.

This was all prepared for Lu Ran.

On the other side, Qiu Mo, who had returned, had a very unpleasant expression.

Lu Ran had successfully overcome his tribulation, and Lu Chen had disappeared, indicating that he was inferior to Lu Ran, which was why he left.

But he hadn't expected that the strength he displayed upon his return was no weaker, with two great Spiritual Powers directly crushing the Little Wolf King.

If he didn't have special life-saving means, it was equivalent to him being finished.

Another uncontrollable freak.

And his own loose tongue had exposed him.

The main reason was that he didn't understand Lu Chen well enough and thought he would be crippled.

He decided to invite Lu Chen for a chat to ease things, subtly probe his relationship with the Peerless Princess, and ideally use him to infiltrate Ji Wushuang's unit.

Once the unit was infiltrated, how could Great Yan worry?

Unfortunately, Lu Chen directly crushed his thoughts and refused to see him!

He was almost driven to despair.

With five days left until the year-end martial arts competition, Lu Chen didn't go out and continued to temper himself in the Will Statue group.

The second level of the True Martial Realm was an advanced version of Will Manifestation and Blood Essence Shaping.

Once condensed, it carried a powerful will to deter, and the Blood Essence field would transform into a True Martial Domain. Within this domain, there was a certain suppressive effect on targets.

More powerful than the Qi and Blood Domain.

As the days passed and he tempered himself, Lu Chen's bloodline beast phantom grew increasingly majestic and terrifying.

From three meters initially, it later reached ten meters, then twenty.

Finally, it was level with the statues.

A terrifying will surged through the heavens and earth, causing the crowd of statues to tremble.

A mighty, savage, and fierce aura enveloped the area.

The three observing, including Old Ancestor Tianyan, were utterly shocked.

The majestic, mountain-like bloodline beast phantom made even Old Ancestor Tianyan feel a heavy sense of oppression.

"What bloodline is this? Does Old Ancestor know?" Fang Jiuding asked, his voice filled with doubt.

Old Ancestor Tianyan shook his head.

"It looks human, yet not. Its beastly intent pierces the heavens. Could it be that Junior Brother possesses some kind of beast bloodline?"

Slap!

"Ouch!" Xiong Yao clutched her head, half-amused and half-vexed. "Why did Old Ancestor hit me?"

"What do you mean 'beast bloodline'? The lowest would be a Beast King, but he's only in the True Martial Realm. With this aura, it's at least a Beast Emperor!"

Pfft!

Fang Jiuding and Xiong Yao both spat out their drinks.

A Beast Emperor bloodline.

How exciting.

Roar!

With a world-shattering roar, the bloodline beast phantom suddenly expanded by a circle, pushing the surrounding willpower statues back over ten meters.

The space itself rippled under the expansion of the bloodline beast phantom.

A terrifying aura of despair swept in all directions.

But before the three could recover from their shock, three more appeared.

These were also bloodline beast phantoms, weaker and smaller than the first, but still more than double the size of the bloodline projections of other monstrous Martial Dao Cultivators!

These were the bloodline beast phantoms of his clones.

The four beast phantoms exuded an imposing might, their ferocity vast.

True Martial Realm, Second Layer Grand Perfection.

Once his aura stabilized, he would break through to the Third Layer of the True Martial Realm.

His combat power had once again leaped significantly.

Lu Chen recalled his clones, feeling the explosive power surging through his body and a growing sense of the terror of his own bloodline.

And this was with only one head.

If all nine heads were present, would the Little Wolf King immediately kneel?

During dinner, Lu Chen asked Xiong Yao and Fang Jiuding if they were willing to go on a training expedition with him.

How could they refuse?

They deeply regretted not going with him to the Blood Fiend Battlefield last time. Although they had made great progress under the Old Ancestor's guidance, it still paled in comparison to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen flipped his hand and produced two tubes of Blood Marrow, handing them to Xiong Yao and Fang Jiuding. "Try awakening your bloodline!"

Both of them froze.

Old Ancestor Tianyan glanced at them, his heart trembling violently, and exclaimed, "Blood... Blood Marrow!"

Xiong Yao and Fang Jiuding both looked at him in confusion.

"It's a treasure for bloodline awakening! If an ancestor had awakened a certain bloodline, the probability of awakening it increases dramatically. If not, there's a high chance of awakening a new bloodline!"

"What?"

Even Lu Chen was somewhat stunned.

He hadn't expected Blood Marrow to be able to awaken new bloodlines.

This meant that anyone could awaken a bloodline, regardless of whether they already possessed one.

Strictly speaking, Blood Jade awakened existing bloodlines. Blood Marrow, on top of the effect of Blood Jade, had an additional function: allowing those without bloodlines to awaken new ones.

Lu Chen's heart stirred, and he asked curiously, "Old Ancestor, did those ancestors of Great Yan who awakened bloodlines leave behind any Corpse Bones?"
