Supreme Dragon Martial Soul-Chapter 337 - 13: Luo Hong’s Shock, Aiming for Number One!

Chapter 337: Chapter 13: Luo Hong’s Shock, Aiming for Number One!

Agreeing to join his grandfather for the family reunion dinner that evening, Luo Cheng bid farewell and wandered leisurely through the residence alone.

Since the Luo Family had won the Hunting Festival and annexed the Lin Family’s South City Market, their development had progressed rapidly.

In the past six months, the Luo Residence had undergone an expansion, now boasting pavilions, towers, flowing bridges, and scenic streams—a sight of complete splendor.

Luo Cheng followed his memories, traversing several corridors before arriving at the Luo Family Practice Field.

The expansive Practice Field was filled with bustling figures, a lively and energetic scene.

Just a few days prior, the decisive battle that had determined the survival of the family, coupled with Luo Cheng’s display of formidable strength, had profoundly inspired every member of the Luo Family!

Many younger members of the Luo Family were diligently training at the Practice Field.

Some were honing their martial arts alone, while others engaged in duels—a picture of fervent dedication.

"Brother Luo Cheng is here!"

Someone unknown had shouted.

Immediately, the younger Luo Family members gathered around, greeting Luo Cheng with a mix of reverence and curiosity.

"Luo Cheng!"

Two figures approached.

It was Luo Qingwan and Luo Zhixing!

The duo had once joined Luo Cheng in participating in the Hunting Festival.

Now, one had entered the Purple Cloud Sect, and the other had joined the Golden Ring Sect, both of them having broken through to the Transcendence Realm in cultivation.

"Long time no see!"

Luo Cheng nodded slightly, his gaze settling on a figure behind the two.

It was Luo Qi, his cousin!

Luo Qi kept his head lowered, looking somewhat dazed, entirely avoiding eye contact with Luo Cheng.

Recalling how he had once mocked Luo Cheng for awakening a Wasted Martial Soul, Luo Qi was unsure how to face him now.

He felt all of his past actions had been embarrassingly laughable.

Luo Qingwan noticed this and pulled Luo Qi forward with a smile:

"If you want to apologize, just do so. Stop being so hesitant and awkward!"

Taking a deep breath, Luo Qi finally raised his head. "Brother Luo Cheng..."

Luo Cheng waved his hand and said, "Enough. We’re family, and there’s no need for formality. What’s past is past. Only by remaining united can our family grow strong."

"Understood!"

Luo Qi nodded heavily.

Luo Cheng brushed his fingers and retrieved over a dozen bottles of elixir pills.

"These are Body Tempering Spirit Pills. They should be helpful for your breakthroughs—take them and focus on your cultivation."

These One-star Spirit Pills and Two-star Spirit Pills were of little use to Luo Cheng now.

However, for martial artists in the Body Tempering Realm or Transcendence Realm, they were immensely valuable treasures.

Luo Cheng had initially planned to gift each of them a Storage Ring.

Unfortunately, Storage Rings required a warrior in the Tongxuan Realm to activate, rendering them currently useless.

Having great treasures while lacking sufficient strength could bring about fatal consequences instead.

"Many thanks, Brother Luo Cheng!"

Everyone accepted the pills with burning excitement in their eyes.

Body Tempering Spirit Pills! Just one of them was worth tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of taels!

Few people in all of Qishan City could afford to use such pills!

"Alright, focus on cultivating well now."

Evening fell.

The reunion dinner was exceptionally lavish, serving delicacies that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the water—truly an abundance of everything.

Luo Mingshan, who hadn’t been this joyful in a long time, drank until his face turned red before finally surrendering to his drunken stupor.

Late into the night.

The room was left with only Luo Cheng and Luo Hong.

Luo Cheng took out over a dozen Storage Rings and handed them to Luo Hong.

"Father, take these as resources to develop our family."

Luo Hong casually picked up one Storage Ring and gave it a glance.

That single glance left him utterly stunned.

Inside the Storage Ring lay heaps of precious artifacts, various spirit pills and medicinal herbs, and even martial arts secret books.

Luo Hong retrieved a secret book and opened it.

"Four-star Palm Technique, Wind Sound Palm!"

Startled, Luo Hong proceeded to inspect another Storage Ring.

It was filled with Essence Energy Pills, numbering over a thousand, valued at over a hundred million taels!

After checking all of the dozen Storage Rings, Luo Hong looked at Luo Cheng in disbelief.

The wealth stored in these rings combined amounted to at least four or five hundred million taels!

For a modest family like the Luo Family, this was an unimaginable fortune—even some mid-tier clans could scarcely produce such wealth!

After steadying his emotions, Luo Hong asked, "Cheng’er, are these treasures all yours?"

Luo Cheng nodded. "In the last six months, I’ve had some fortuitous encounters and defeated several powerful masters, acquiring these riches from them."

Luo Hong pushed the Storage Rings back toward him.

"Cheng’er, you’ve just broken through to the Third Layer Peak of the Tongxuan Realm. You need a vast quantity of resources to stabilize your foundation and strengthen your core! Only then can your Essence Energy Spiritual Light break through the Sea of Consciousness, transforming into the Divine Bridge—taking that crucial step!"

"Only by crossing that threshold can you truly embark on the path of cultivation—not as a mundane mortal, but as a Spiritual Practitioner in the eyes of the Immortals themselves! Keep these treasures for yourself."

Luo Cheng smiled and shook his head. "Father, I took first place in the Outer Sect Tournament and was rewarded with five thousand Essence Energy Pills by the sect, more than enough for my current needs."

"These secret books and elixirs can be utilized to strengthen the family. Only with a powerful family can I focus entirely on my cultivation."

These were merely a portion of Luo Cheng’s wealth.

Additionally, he still possessed the sect’s rewards from the Outer Sect Tournament: five thousand Essence Energy Pills and over a hundred Soul Crystals—more than sufficient for his upcoming cultivation.

Seeing Luo Cheng’s resolve, Luo Hong no longer declined and smiled warmly.

"Very well! With such abundant resources, the Luo Family is destined to rise!"

Luo Cheng then retrieved several bottles of elixirs from the Storage Rings.

They were all Healing Elixirs, including even Four-star Healing Elixirs, each worth millions of taels—every single one meticulously collected by Luo Cheng.

"Father, try using these Healing Elixirs. See if they can help alleviate your injuries."

"Alright!"

Luo Hong briefly hesitated before eagerly accepting them.

He was well aware of his injuries—damage to his core compounded by chronic ailments that ordinary medicinal herbs could not cure.

Yet, the sentiment behind Luo Cheng’s action fulfilled him more than anything as a father!

"Father, I’ll be preparing for the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, so I may not be home often for the time being."

To avoid disrupting the home with his cultivation breakthroughs, Luo Cheng decided to train externally for the upcoming period.

"Don’t worry about the household affairs—I’ll take care of everything," Luo Hong assured with a nod, then asked with a grin, "Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, where the top disciples of the Three Great Sects gather for a peak confrontation. What ranking are you aiming for?"

Luo Cheng confidently replied, "First place, of course."

"You’re so sure of yourself?"

Luo Hong looked surprised. In his view, Luo Cheng’s strength gave him a strong chance to break into the top five or even top three, but claiming first place seemed a stretch.

The Three Great Sects were brimming with talents, and there had already been rumors a month ago of Hua Jingyang, the Outer Sect Chief Disciple of the Fierce Cloud Sect, defeating a one-layer Awakening Vein Realm expert!

Suddenly recalling something, Luo Hong’s expression turned grave. "Cheng’er, you must remember—Sun Chuanwu is one of the top ten disciples of the Fierce Cloud Sect’s Outer Sect. If you run into him during the competition, do not act impulsively. Your life is far more important than anything else!"

He was worried that Luo Cheng might provoke Sun Chuanwu, knowing full well that Sun Yingyang, a man of vengeful and unforgiving nature, would never let such actions slide!

Luo Cheng’s gaze flickered, and he replied, "Rest assured, Father—I will know my limits."

The father and son chatted idly for a while longer, and Luo Cheng finally bade farewell.

Leaving the room, Luo Cheng exhaled deeply.

The family matters had largely been resolved.

Next, he could set aside everything and devote himself fully to preparing for the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition!

However, before that, there was one matter he needed to attend to.

Whoosh!

With a swift step, Luo Cheng’s figure leapt like a soaring bird, departing the Luo Residence and disappearing into the vast darkness of the night.
