It must be said, Tang Wan'er's actions were incredibly swift. In just half a day, she selected another 3,600 female warriors to join the Hidden Dragon Legion.
Long Chen looked at this group of people and had to admit, Tang Wan'er had indeed grown up. These women's eyes were clear and clear, clearly kind-hearted and loyal to the heart.
Some female disciples weren't even Destined Children, but it didn't matter—Long Chen gave them Destiny Pills, allowing them to advance directly to Destined Children.
Long Chen had already inquired with Tang Wan'er. In the Tianyuan World, the Destiny Pill wasn't a rare treasure, but the strength of a Destiny Child forged from the Destiny Pill was hugely different from naturally awakened Destiny Child.
Long Chen, under the guise of the Destiny Pill, was actually infusing the essence of the Heavenly Dao Fruit into it. After these female disciples advanced to the Destiny Children, they were no different from other naturally awakened Destiny Children.
These female disciples first advanced to Destiny Child with Long Chen's help. Then Long Chen examined their foundations and, based on their different talents and aptitudes, refined different Foundation Stabilization Pills, making their foundations extremely solid.
After completing all this, three days had passed. Three days later, Long Chen summoned the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree again, bringing everyone into the Seven Treasures Space for cultivation.
This time, Long Chen also entered the Seven Treasures Space. He began personally directing the women on how to fight the enemy, how to coordinate, and how to achieve the greatest lethality within limited strength.
It must be said, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree is truly a supreme treasure. Within the Seven Treasures Space, everyone's perception and comprehension are infinitely amplified. With just a reminder from Long Chen, they immediately understood the key and made rapid progress.
In the first few days, Long Chen trained their willpower and reactions. Once they had initially met his requirements, he began teaching them how to cooperate with each other.
Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tree is a heaven-defying cheating artifact, some things cannot be mastered in a day, or even a year or two. They require years of diligent cultivation and continuous insight to achieve results.
However, Long Chen was not in a hurry, because the Hidden Dragon Legion's opponents were not those terrifying monsters or ferocious beasts, but rather peers from the same generation among greenhouse flowers.
With every day they cultivate, their strength increases significantly, and the gap widens rapidly. Long Chen's requirements aren't high—he only needs to cultivate the Hidden Dragon Legion into a prototype of the Dragonblood Legion before the ranking tournament begins—even the most basic prototype—and that's considered a win.
What Long Chen admired most about these female warriors was their indomitable resilience. No matter how hard or fearful, they persevered desperately. From their eyes, Long Chen saw their strong desire to become stronger.
Long Chen had these female disciples enter the Seven Treasures Space in the morning to cultivate, spend the afternoon comprehending them, absorb the energy from the Wind Spirit Stone in the first half of the night, and rest after eating the pills Long Chen refined for them in the second half of the night.
To refine pills for everyone, Long Chen specially asked Tang Wan'er to collect all the wind-type pills from the Wind God Sea Pavilion. After returning, Long Chen tasted each one, tasted them, identified their properties, and wrote down the recipes from memory. He found many areas for improvement, so he began to try refining pills himself.
When the top-grade Golden Pills were presented to these female disciples, they were completely stunned. After all, the pills they usually consumed were just ordinary high-grade pills—supreme pills, and golden pills at that. They had never even heard of them, let alone seen them.
Long Chen had the Qiankun Cauldron and Huo Ling'er assisting. He only needed to cooperate with the Cauldron the first time, perfecting the formula and heat control. After that, Long Chen wouldn't need to get involved at all.
For pills like this, which are not difficult, the Qiankun Cauldron can conjure up thousands of Dharma Bodies, and at once, it can refine tens of thousands of pills. Not only can they eat just one pill at a time, it could even be used as food for them.
These female warriors had never been treated like this before; they were like beggars transformed into princesses. Happiness came so suddenly and fiercely.
Day by day, time passed. In the Seven Treasures Space, everyone's progress was astonishing. Their aura changed daily, and the female warriors were practically going crazy.
They feared this opportunity would slip away; everyone was desperately cultivating, wasting no time. After all, with Long Chen's pills, they would never feel tired.
The progress of the female warriors was astonishing, but their coordination had major flaws. There was no other way—they needed constant adjustment.
However, flaws in coordination didn't matter; even without chemistry, it didn't matter. Long Chen had them memorize several formations and how to switch between them, as well as remember which formation suits them in different situations.
When the formation rehearsal began, everyone's rapidly expanding confidence was severely shaken. The speed of formation switching was too slow, there were too many loopholes, and sometimes they even lost their composure. Some impatient ones were even in tears.
Long Chen comforted them kindly, telling them that the Dragonblood Legion had grown out step by step from this path, and that this process was inevitable.
After teaching them the basic formation, Long Chen exited the Seven Treasures Space and let them practice on their own. Long Chen noticed that with him around, everyone's emotions easily got agitated.
Perhaps they were too eager to show off in front of him, or perhaps wanted to prove themselves, which made their mindset somewhat restless and stressful.
Without Long Chen, they would calm down and communicate with each other slowly, which would be more effective.
Calculating the time, there was only half a month left, and the Divine Rank Ranking Tournament was about to begin. In the past, the Divine Rank Ranking Tournament was usually played by sixteen teams.
But this time was different—there were seventeen branches. Since Qian Renxue's position as goddess hadn't been stripped away, she was also qualified to participate.
Tang Wan'er told Long Chen that the reason she felt such great pressure was because she was an outsider among all the divine sons and goddesses, and behind each one was a powerful force supporting her.
And these powerful forces are also rejecting outsiders like them. Tang Wan'er estimates that when the ranking matches begin, all teams might attack them simultaneously, eliminating her first, and then they will compete for the rankings.
So, when the ranking matches begin, what they face may not be Qian Renxue alone, but the suppression of all teams.
"One against sixteen?" Hehe, it's challenging, I love it. Just
thinking about facing sixteen divine sons and daughters on the battlefield made Long Chen's blood heat up.
While the women cultivated on the battlefield, Long Chen himself was not idle. He entered seclusion and began adapting to the new realm. Long Chen started communicating with the spiritual root in his dantian through his mind.
At first, that fiery core didn't react at all. However, as Long Chen quietly sensed its fluctuations, trying his best to keep his aura, bloodline, and even heartbeat in sync with it.
"Buzz!"
His innate strength trembled slightly, and Long Chen's whole body trembled. At that moment, he was delighted to discover that this innate energy was actually beginning to accept him.
"Dang"
Just as Long Chen was about to communicate with this bundle of roots, a bell rang out of his woke. The entire island trembled violently, and Long Chen immediately put away the Seven Treasures Space, and everyone withdrew.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. In one hour, enter the ranked battlefield." At that moment, an aged voice echoed through every corner of the Wind God Sea Pavilion.
