Chapter 5344 Ranking Battlefield

Tang Wan-er wasted no time. In just half a day, she selected an additional 3,600 female disciples to join the Hidden Dragon Legion.

Long Chen looked through them, noting how much Tang Wan-er had grown. All these women had clear and bright eyes, and Long Chen had no doubts about their sense of loyalty and pure nature.

Some of them weren’t even Heavenly Chosens, but that wasn’t an issue. Long Chen provided them with Heavenly Chosen Pills to help them advance.

Long Chen had asked Tang Wan-er about it. The Heavenly Chosen Pills existed in Heaven Essence World and were not considered overly rare. However, those who became Heavenly Chosens through these pills were significantly weaker than those who awakened naturally.

Although Long Chen used the name “Heavenly Chosen Pill” as a cover, the pills he gave them were actually refined from the essence of Heavenly Dao Fruits. As a result, these women would be no different from naturally awakened Heavenly Chosens once they advanced.

After helping them advance, Long Chen examined their foundations and crafted personalized foundation-building pills based on their talents and aptitudes, ensuring they had a rock-solid foundation.

Three days later, Long Chen summoned the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree and transported everyone into the Seven Treasure space, where he joined them this time. He personally instructed them on how to fight, work together, and maximize their killing power with minimal effort.

The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree was indeed a priceless treasure. Within it, their comprehension and senses were heightened to unimaginable levels. With every instruction Long Chen gave, these disciples grasped the tricks almost instantly, which allowed them to advance at a rapid pace.

In the first few days, Long Chen trained their wills and reactions. Once they met his standards, he started teaching them how to work together.

Even with the help of a cheat-like divine treasure like the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree, some skills couldn’t be mastered in just a few days, or even a few years. Experience had to be accumulated over time, along with continuous comprehension.

In any case, Long Chen was in no rush. Their opponents in the upcoming competition weren’t merciless devils or ferocious beasts, but mere fellow disciples—“flowers raised in a greenhouse,” as he called them. He was confident that with daily training, the Hidden Dragon Legion’s power would quickly surpass their peers.

Long Chen didn’t go too tough on them this time. He just wanted them to have at least an embryonic formation of the Dragonblood Legion before the competition began. Even if it was just the most basic and crude formation, it was enough.

What Long Chen admired most about these female warriors was their unyielding determination. Despite the painful training, they persevered with their full might. From their eyes, Long Chen could see just how strong their desire to get stronger was.

Their daily routine was rigorous. In the morning, they trained in the Seven Treasure space; in the afternoon, they focused on improving their comprehension skills. By evening, they absorbed wind spirit stones, and later at night, they took the medicinal pills Long Chen refined for them and rested.

In order to refine pills for everyone, Long Chen had Tang Wan-er bring out wind-attribute medicinal pills from the Wind God Sea Pavilion. He tasted each one, analyzed their properties, and made improvements to the pill formulas. Experimenting with his own pill concoctions, he refined top-grade golden pills that left the warriors stunned, as many had never seen or even heard of such high-quality pills.

With the Earth Cauldron and Huo Linger’s assistance, Long Chen only had to refine a pill once. Afterward, the Earth Cauldron could manifest ten thousand furnaces within its body, refining pills on a massive scale. So, let alone consuming them one at a time, the ladies could even eat them like snacks.

For these warriors, who had never experienced such luxury, it felt as if they had gone from beggars to princesses overnight. This blessing was beyond anything they had ever imagined.

Day by day, they advanced extremely rapidly within the Seven Treasure space. Their excitement for training bordered on obsession, as if afraid that this opportunity would slip away at any moment. All of them trained with their full might, not wasting a moment.

Although their progress was remarkable, their teamwork still had significant flaws. But there was no way around that. They would need to train more in the future.

They hadn’t yet reached the level where they could fight in perfect unison, understanding each other’s thoughts without a word. However, Long Chen had drilled them in a few simple formations, and they practiced switching between them during combat. He also made them memorize when and how to use each formation.

When they started practicing the formations, their confidence took a hit. Their transitions were slow, full of gaps, and sometimes chaotic. Sensing their frustration, Long Chen reassured them. He reminded them that even the Dragonblood Legion had started just like this—one step at a time. This phase of trial and error was necessary for growth.

Once Long Chen taught them the basic foundations, he left the Seven Treasure space. He noticed that his presence made them too eager to impress him, which led to impatience. Without him there, they were more composed and communicated better, making more effective progress.

With just half a day left before the competition, Tang Wan-er informed Long Chen that, unlike previous years where only sixteen groups participated, this time there were seventeen. Qian Renxue’s position hadn’t been fully revoked yet, so she still had a chance to join. Tang Wan-er also explained that she was under immense pressure because she was the only “foreigner” among the divine sons and daughters.

Every single divine son and divine daughter had a powerful faction behind them. These factions resented outsiders, and Tang Wan-er expected them to all gang up on her squad first before turning on each other.

In other words, what she would be facing during this competition was not just Qian Renxue’s squad, but all of them.

“One against sixteen? Hehe, what a challenge. I like it,” Long Chen said, feeling his blood stir at the thought of battling against the divine sons and daughters.

While everyone trained, Long Chen didn’t slack off either. He focused on adjusting to his new realm and attempting to commune with his Spirit Root.

At first, his clump of Root Qi didn’t react. But after patiently matching his aura, bloodline, and even his heartbeat to its rhythm, he felt it quiver. His body shook in surprise—his Spirit Root was finally reacting to him.

Just as Long Chen was trying to commune with it, the sound of a bell echoed across the island, and the ground quivered. Long Chen immediately put away the Seven Treasure space.

“Divine sons and divine daughters, prepare yourselves! We will go to the ranking battlefield in two hours!” an ancient voice boomed, reverberating through every corner of the Wind God Sea Pavilion.
