227: Chapter 227: Pretending is also an Art (Second Update) 227: Chapter 227: Pretending is also an Art (Second Update) “I didn’t mishear that, right?

That counts as a condition?”

At this moment, everyone couldn’t quite believe their own ears, thinking they had misheard.

This didn’t count as a condition at all.

“Something’s not right!”

Zhuge Qianzhong’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, unable to figure out what Long Yan was up to.

Based on his understanding of Long Yan, he should be making a lion-sized request right now.

“Hehe, Boss is up to something devious again.”

Although Fat Cat didn’t know what Long Yan was planning, he knew that there must be a trap and someone was going to suffer.

Wu Kuangyun, Gu Yunxiao, Feng Wanli, and Leng Qianqiu all had different expressions, their hearts sure that Long Yan’s conditions wouldn’t be that simple.

“If it’s just this, then we agree.

But you’d better not pull any tricks.”

Wu Kuangyun said, now being led by the nose by Long Yan, they had no choice.

“Of course.

Although I, Long Yan, am not a gentleman, I keep my word.”

Long Yan smiled sincerely.

However, his smile appeared insincere to everyone else.

“Let’s go to the Martial God Palace first!”

In no time, they went straight to the mountain peak occupied by the Martial God Palace.

“Long Yan, you’d better not try anything!”

Wu Kuangyun couldn’t help but warn Long Yan once more.

“How can you not trust me?

Do I look like a bad person?”

Long Yan sighed helplessly and said, “Even for Big Brother’s sake, I’ll give you the combat techniques.”

“Master, I trust Third Brother.”

Long Chen said to Wu Kuangyun, then said to Long Yan, “Third Brother, just go ahead and activate the Battle Soul Stele.”

No matter what, he would support Long Yan.

Wu Kuangyun nodded slightly and immediately gestured for the dozen or so Martial Kings guarding the Battle Soul Stele to step back.

Then, Long Yan stepped forward, sat cross-legged in front of the Battle Soul Stele, eyes slightly closed, just like an old monk entering meditation.

After that, there was no movement for a long time.

“What is this guy up to?”

Zhuge Qianzhong showed a puzzled expression, suddenly thought of something, and a glint flashed deep in his eyes.

At the same time, he secretly warned the people of Pill King Hall not to reveal any flaws.

Time passed slowly, and Long Yan still made no move.

However, sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breath became somewhat disordered as if he was enduring immense pain.

“What is he doing?”

At this moment, everyone from the four major forces had puzzled expressions, not knowing what Long Yan was up to.

“Do you think it’s easy to activate the Battle Soul Stele?

If it were that simple, wouldn’t you have opened it long ago?”

Zhuge Qianzhong timely said a sentence, fully cooperating with Long Yan.

“Exactly, it took the Junior Palace Master a lot of effort to open the Battle Soul Stele last time.”

“It’s not easy to obtain the things left behind by the Five Emperors.

The Junior Palace Master is burning his life to do so.”

“The Junior Palace Master is kindly opening the Battle Soul Stele for you, and you still doubt him.

People have really changed!”

“…”

Several elders of the Pill King Hall began to complain after receiving Zhuge Qianzhong’s transmission, one after another defending Long Yan.

“Is opening the Battle Soul Stele really that difficult?”

At this moment, the people from the four major forces were somewhat uncertain, but they seemed to believe it.

Time passed slowly.

Soon, four hours had passed, and Long Yan’s clothes were soaked in sweat.

“Break!”

Suddenly, Long Yan opened his eyes abruptly and slapped his palm on the Battle Soul Stele.

The power of the Five Elements surged from his palm and flowed into the Battle Soul Stele.

“Om!”

At this moment, the Battle Soul Stele suddenly burst into light, enveloping Long Yan within it.

“The Battle Soul Stele has been activated!”

Everyone’s eyes brightened, and their faces showed delight.

Especially the people from the Martial God Palace, Long Yan activating the Battle Soul Stele meant that they would obtain a set of Earth Order Battle Skills.

A moment later, the light of the Battle Soul Stele dissipated, and Long Yan appeared before everyone.

At this moment, his face was extremely pale, as if all his strength had been drained from his body.

“Third Brother, are you okay?”

Long Chen walked up to him, looking concerned.

“I’m fine.”

Long Yan smiled faintly.

“How about it, did you get the battle skills?”

Wu Kuangyun asked eagerly, as he cared only about the Earth Order Battle Skills.

“Fortunately, I have not disappointed.

I will pass on the battle skills to you now.”

Then, Long Yan shared the battle skills with Wu Kuangyun using a soul transmission method.

Yellow Emperor Heaven-Shaking Seal!

This was the battle skill that Long Yan had obtained from the Battle Soul Stele, a secret skill of the Yellow Emperor when he was alive.

“As expected, it’s an Earth Order Battle Skill!”

Wu Kuangyun’s face lit up with joy.

The Martial God Palace already had one set of Heavenly Grade Combat Techniques, the Eight Extremes Sword Mark, and now, they had obtained another set of Earth Order Battle Skills, enriching the Martial God Palace’s foundation even further.

“Long Yan, thank you.

Here is a Ten-thousand-year Ginseng for you to recover from your injuries.”

Then, Wu Kuangyun took out a jade box and handed it to Long Yan.

The Ten-thousand-year Ginseng was a King-grade Medicinal Ingredient.

However, it was not worth much compared to an Earth Order Battle Skill.

“Thank you!”

Long Yan took the jade box, expressed his gratitude, and immediately said to Leng Qianqiu, “Leng Family Master, I will activate the Battle Soul Stele for the Leng Family tomorrow.”

“Good, you rest up first.

Once you’ve activated the Battle Soul Stele, my Leng Family will definitely not treat you poorly!”

Leng Qianqiu immediately agreed, envy in his eyes as he saw Wu Kuangyun get the Earth Order Battle Skill.

Afterward, everyone began to disperse.

Long Yan bid farewell to Long Chen and flew towards the mountain occupied by Pill King Hall with Zhuge Qianzhong and the others.

“Alright, stop pretending!”

After returning to the mountain, Zhuge Qianzhong gave Long Yan a fierce look and said unhappily.

He was amazed that Long Yan could come up with such an idea.

“Senior Brother, did you see through it all along?”

Long Yan grinned, instantly recovering to his normal state, and said, “Pretending can also be considered an art.

So, how’s my acting?”

“Is your plan really that simple?”

Zhuge Qianzhong became curious, as he felt that Long Yan would definitely not just give the Earth Order Battle Skills to the four major forces that easily.

“What else?”

Long Yan smiled faintly and said, “Senior Brother, just sit back and enjoy the show!”

The next day, Long Yan arrived at the peak of the mountain occupied by the Leng family.

He repeated the same trick, taking half a day to activate the Battle Soul Stele.

He obtained yet another Earth Order Battle Skill from within the stele, the Xuan Emperor Heaven-Devouring Seal.

Long Yan passed on the Xuan Emperor Heaven-Devouring Seal to Leng Qianqiu as well.

Leng Qianqiu’s face lit up with joy, and he generously gave Long Yan a Black Blood Vermilion Fruit.

The Black Blood Vermilion Fruit was a rare spiritual fruit, its value no less than that of the Ten-thousand-year Ginseng.

Up until now, three out of the five Battle Soul Steles had been activated, and Long Yan had successfully obtained three sets of Earth-Rank Battle Techniques – the Red Emperor Burning’s Sky Seal, Yellow Emperor Heaven-Shaking Seal, and Xuan Emperor Heaven-Devouring Seal.

Only the Ancient Sword and Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect’s Battle Soul Steles hadn’t been activated yet.

Once he obtained those two sets of battle skills, the Five Sets of Earth-Rank Battle Techniques would be complete, allowing for the Five Elements Unification into a single Intermediate Earth-level Battle Technique.

Intermediate Earth-level Battle Techniques were considered treasures even in the Emperor Domain and were not easily obtainable.
