Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 5345 Clay Jar

“Sisters, we will definitely win this battle!” Tang Wan-er stood before the Hidden Dragon Legion, trying to rally the spirits of the excited yet nervous warriors.

Tang Wan-er had planned to say something motivational, but as the battle bell rang, she found herself at a loss for words. Frustrated, she turned to Long Chen for help. “Long Chen, you should do it instead!”

Smiling, Long Chen stepped forward and loudly announced, “Sisters, we’ve all dreamt of becoming heroes that everyone can only look up to. We’ve also dreamt of shining brighter than the sun and moon. In the face of bullying and ridicule, we’ve longed to rise and repay every humiliation tenfold, a hundredfold. We are carrying a great weight on our shoulders while enduring pain many people cannot even imagine...”

His words grew heavier with emotion, resonating with the warriors who had suffered through similar struggles. Long Chen’s own memories of hardship on the Martial Heaven Continent poured into his speech, connecting deeply with the women.

Tears welled up in their eyes, but they refused to let them fall. That was their last act of stubborness.

Long Chen continued, “We train bitterly to live with dignity, and we fight for every chance to get stronger to protect our loved ones. In the Seven Treasure space, you faced countless deaths and endless pain, but you didn’t retreat. You knew that the only thing you are lacking from so-called experts is a chance. Today’s battle isn’t just about rankings. It’s the first step in your blood-soaked rebirth, the first victory on the Hidden Dragon Legion’s path to greatness. We don’t fear death. We don’t fear even heavenly tribulations. So tell me, what in this world could possibly stop us?”

Long Chen’s voice thundered across the plaza, igniting a fire in their hearts. Standing by his side, Tang Wan-er was also affected even though she knew that Long Chen was doing this intentionally. Power seemed to flow through every inch of her body.

Truly a capable swindler! she thought, admiring how effortlessly Long Chen could lift the spirits of an entire army. In just a few words, he had their morale soaring.

There were 7,200 warriors now, but only 3,600 could participate in this battle—the first batch of Hidden Dragon warriors.

“Sisters, wait for our good news!” Tang Wan-er called out to the second group of warriors as they stepped onto the transportation formation.

The space around them twisted, and in an instant, they found themselves standing in a large plaza. It was simply an island that had been cut flat.

Sixteen large blocks were etched into the ground, each labeled with the name of a divine island. They stood on the block marked “Hidden Dragon,” and across the plaza stood the sixteen other squads, with Qian Renxue’s group occupying a blank block.

Qian Renxue’s gaze was murderous as she glared at Tang Wan-er, but Tang Wan-er met her gaze coldly, unafraid with Long Chen by her side.

“It’s been one month. Has your Hidden Dragon Legion become a blind legion?” sneered Qian Renxue.

Because the Hidden Dragon warriors wore black bands over their eyes, they became extremely conspicuous, and everyone looked at them scornfully.

“Ugly people sure act differently,” another divine daughter taunted.

She was short and pudgy, though her aura was strong. Tang Wan-er had mentioned her to Long Chen before, but he had forgotten her name. It seemed that he was the second rank of the eight divine daughters.

With her ugly appearance, she was exceptionally jealous of Tang Wan-er, who was blessed with both talent and looks. As a result, she often found trouble for Tang Wan-er.

Tang Wan-er was about to respond to her taunt when Long Chen suddenly said, “Is that Clay Jar speaking? Are you talking about yourself?”

Tang Wan-er burst into laughter. Looking at the fat woman, she couldn’t help feeling like the name Clay Jar really suited her form. This name was truly lethal, causing the Hidden Dragon Legion’s side to laugh.

The onlookers quickly covered up their laughter and turned away. But unfortunately, some were unable to react as quickly.

While they quickly muffled their laughter, many of them were red in the face from the effort. They rubbed their faces to cover up their smiles.

Giving Long Chen a thumbs-up, Tang Wan-er silently thanked him for improving her mood.

“Who are you calling a Clay Jar?” The fat divine daughter’s expression darkened. With her killing intent blazing in her eyes, she looked as if she would bite Long Chen to death.

“I’m not talking about you! I’m talking about... hm...” Long Chen looked around in a panic. Seemingly not being able to find another target to shift this nickname to, he shook his head. “Whatever... this is too hard. No one here looks like a Clay Jar as much as you, so I guess I am talking about you!”

Long Chen’s tongue was truly sharp. Was he not saying that she was the ugliest of all the women here? He couldn’t shift this title to someone else? How was that possible?

“You...!”

“Let’s not argue. Just look at yourself. Besides your butt, you’re all waist—like a perfect match for a clay jar, just with a head slapped on top. Aiya, what happened to your neck?” Long Chen exclaimed in shock.

Tang Wan-er burst into laughter once again, and the others joined her thanks to Long Chen’s observation. This fattie truly lacked a neck!

“I’ll kill you!” the woman roared in a fury, her killing intent locking onto Long Chen.

“How brazen! Who permitted you to cause trouble here?!” A booming voice suddenly interrupted. Space quivered as a group of powerful figures descended from the sky, their emperor-level pressure crashing down like a tidal wave.
