Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 6088 Forging Top Grade

Bai Sovereign City was one of the human race’s eight divine cities. Anything that happened here was naturally witnessed by the major factions.

News spread like wildfire: Long Chen had killed people in Bai Sovereign City and even forced the city lord to hand over three thousand catties of Nine Heaven Void Bright Silver. The Soaring Dragon Company and the Brahma Pill Valley didn’t even dare to let out a fart in response.

As this was an astonishing piece of news, it rapidly spread.

Of course, this lightning-fast dissemination was thanks to the Huayun Trading Company fanning the flames from behind the scenes. Upon discovering the Brahma Pill Valley’s latest scheme, Long Chen had immediately launched a counterattack.

With that, everyone came to understand that the Brahma Pill Valley was deliberately creating enemies for Long Chen, trying to manipulate others into doing their dirty work.

If any city allowed what happened in Bai Sovereign City to repeat, it would clearly signal that they were siding with Brahma Pill Valley.

Long Chen had extorted three thousand catties of Nine Heaven Void Bright Silver from the Bai Sovereign City. If it had been any other city, Long Chen would’ve left them without even a pair of pants.

Anyone with half a brain could see that Long Chen’s backers were formidable. Otherwise, Bai Sovereign City would never have accepted such a humiliating resolution.

Judging by Bai Tianhua’s expression, it seemed that some of the Void Bright Silver had come from his own pocket. His pained look said it all.

Whether or not he could recover that cost from Brahma Pill Valley was another story—one only the heavens knew.

Even an existence as powerful as the Brahma Pill Valley didn’t dare to confront Long Chen directly. Instead, they used underhanded tactics. Anyone who stepped up now to target Long Chen had to be either suicidal or incredibly stupid.

The Brahma Pill Valley’s scheme to elevate Long Chen with flattery until he became a universal target was completely exposed. That exposure was the most effective form of counterattack.

At the very least, some of the hotheads would now think twice. After all, being used as cannon fodder without even realizing it was a direct path to reincarnation.

Now that Long Chen had three thousand catties of Nine Heaven Void Bright Silver, he was grinning from ear to ear. It was exactly what he needed.

Originally, Long Chen had been worried whether the Huayun Trading Company even had that much stock on hand. Even if they did, they’d probably have to empty several treasuries to get it all.

The material was far too valuable. And while Long Chen might’ve been able to get it on credit due to his status, he wasn’t one to take advantage of people like that. Business was business, after all.

More importantly, gathering that amount would have taken far too long—time he didn’t have to spare.

If not for that mysterious voice giving him a mission this time, Long Chen would’ve ignored it altogether. He had only detoured to save the dying nine star heirs.

But first, Long Chen needed to unlock the full power of his eight gates. After all, even his father had been unable to resolve the crisis on his mother’s side. Without sufficient power, he’d just be marching to his death.

Activating the eight gates required that his physical body reach a level strong enough to endure the strain. That was his immediate goal.

Originally, he had planned to request the Void Bright Silver from the Huayun Trading Company, even if it meant waiting a few days. But now? He had saved himself a lot of trouble.

After leaving Bai Sovereign City, Long Chen went to a place called the Item Forging Sect. He wanted them to forge him a set of arm and leg bracers.

The name Item Forging Sect was actually just a title given to places that refined items for people. It was not one particular sect. There were hundreds of thousands of such places within the nine heavens.

When Long Chen arrived at this particular Item Forging Sect, their experts instantly recognized him and even summoned their patriarch to greet Long Chen.

This sect was one of those Long Chen had saved during his counterattack against the ten thousand races. Thus, they were all immensely grateful to him.

When they learned Long Chen wanted a set of arm and leg bracers, the patriarch immediately took on the task himself.

In truth, Long Chen’s requirements weren’t complicated. If they were, he’d have gone to Guo Ran instead.

All he needed was something that could bear weight runes, but he wasn’t planning to use them in combat. Engraving weight runes was basic work for any high-level forging master. Still, the patriarch insisted on personally overseeing the job.

When the patriarch saw the amount of Nine Heaven Void Bright Silver Long Chen had brought, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. And when he learned that Long Chen wanted all three thousand catties used just to increase the weight of his arm and leg bracers, he almost fainted.

However, he didn’t ask questions.

He personally designed them so that each arm and leg bracer would have eight silver rods, linked by formations. They could be activated one by one—or in combination—so that Long Chen could adjust the weight as needed.

Furthermore, to ensure the bracers were the best they could be, the patriarch added a bit of his own Sovereign-grade forging materials.

He thought he had hidden it well, but he couldn’t escape Long Chen’s keen senses. Long Chen noticed but said nothing, pretending not to see.

Half a day later, a sparkling set of silver arm and leg bracers appeared before Long Chen. They shimmered with tightly packed layers of weight runes—each rune barely larger than a grain of rice.

Long Chen picked up one arm bracer. Eight silver rods were bound together with golden threads, and when he slipped it on, it automatically molded perfectly to his arm.

He was full of praise—it was truly a masterpiece. The craftsmanship was flawless.

As the patriarch personally explained how to use them, he cautioned, “Dean Long Chen, you must be careful when activating the weight runes. Each silver rod contains countless runes, but you can activate only a portion at a time. If you unleash them all at once… even a mountain would be crushed. A body of flesh and blood can’t endure that.”

Long Chen nodded and put on the bracers. Hidden beneath his clothes, they were completely invisible.

Since they were purely for training and didn’t emit any Sovereign weapon aura, they were exactly what he wanted.

Long Chen thanked the patriarch again and swiftly departed.

Once he was gone, a disciple ran up and handed a spatial ring to the patriarch.

The disciple said, “Patriarch, while you were forging the braces, Senior Long Chen gave me this, saying to give it to you after he left.”

The patriarch hastily checked the spatial ring and saw a mountain of medicinal pills. Even the lowest tier among them was a top-grade spirit pill, so their combined value was astronomical.

The patriarch slapped the disciple in the face and scolded, “You fool, he saved our lives! How could you accept his payment?!”

He knew that Long Chen was a once-in-a-generation genius. For ordinary people like them, there was no way they could ever repay him in this lifetime.

Being able to forge something for him might’ve been their only chance to show even a sliver of gratitude, but this disciple had foolishly accepted payment.

Staring at the endless pills inside the ring, the patriarch sighed deeply.

“Long Chen… how are we ever supposed to repay your kindness?”
