Ye Chen has already been chosen by He Lian as a sword attendant; though his external sword isn’t fully refined yet, he already shows the bearing of a true swordsman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo’s Thunder Spell is only mid-tier—even at perfect grade, its killing power has limits. Ye Chen may still have a chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng chuckled awkwardly: “Hmm… that does make sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Weiwang shook his head: “Ye Chen is only Qi Refining seventh-layer. Even if he can fight above his level, it’s limited—how can he compare to Lin Mo, a top contender in his own rank?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng chuckled: “Yeah, yeah, that’s true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Fei glanced at her, speaking with arrogance: “Sword cultivators are fundamentally different from other cultivators!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng: “There’s a saying…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute—what do your Qingshan Sect matters have to do with me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt caught in the middle, like he was wrong on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, a nearby team leader spoke up in time:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s better? Just watch—Lin Mo hasn’t left the arena yet, he’s still choosing his next opponent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked up and saw Lin Mo, after defeating Tang Lei, did not immediately leave the arena, but raised his head toward the waiting seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Ye Chen had learned his lesson—he didn’t stand up right away, instead sat calmly with arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re just unsure of yourself, so you’re saving me for last, huh? Heh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s face wore a sneer, clearly signaling he knew exactly what Lin Mo intended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, Lin Mo chuckled and teased:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Is our young master Ye about to get married? Do you need a sedan chair to carry you down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen frowned: “Are you challenging me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo looked utterly baffled: “Are you awake? You’re the one who challenged me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words instantly triggered a burst of laughter from the audience in the tavern hall beyond the Mirror Flower, Water Moon arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, is this guy out of his mind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s already on the arena and still distracted? What a big heart!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy Ye Chen? His strength’s decent, but why does he seem mentally slow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, yeah, a bit. Seems Lin Mo’s strength is stronger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo’s thunder spell was damn cool—I didn’t even notice it hit, and his close-range combo afterward was smooth as silk; clearly his swordplay is top-notch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng, hearing these remarks, snapped back angrily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit! Brother Chen is one of our Nanshan prodigies—what the hell is Lin Mo? Just a waste who climbed up by clinging to Chu Wange—how dare he compare himself to our Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sneered: “To be honest, even his top-ten spot on the Immortal List was gained through cheating…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Feng! Shut up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Zhu Hongyuan cut him off sharply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t even understand the Heavenly Dao Immortal Exam—what right do you have to judge Lin Mo? And you have no right spreading unverified, baseless rumors here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lao Hu, who had long resented Li Feng, slammed his table and cheered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well said! Lin Mo defeated nine Dao Academy’s top candidates with his own strength—what have you done? Just talk nonsense to slander others?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>San Zi immediately joined in:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! You’re his classmate—can’t you stand seeing someone else succeed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You accuse him of clinging to others and cheating—where’s your proof?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng’s face flushed red and pale by turns, but aside from unverified internet rumors, where could he possibly produce real evidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Heavenly Dao Immortal Exam, he’d only heard what the Immortal Platform looked like—he’d never seen it with his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he could only say, face flushed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can believe it or not—Lin Mo’s just a pretty face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen, with Qi Refining seventh-layer, defeated an eighth-layer opponent—he’s the real genius!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Hongyuan heard this and sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone whose butt is crooked won’t listen to reason—no matter what you say, it’s useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that works is smashing his face with facts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lao Hu snorted: “Ye Chen stronger than Lin Mo? Not necessarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng sneered back: “We’ll see then!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding spectators glanced around, feeling thoroughly satisfied by today’s drama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the rumored pretty boy, the other the fate-favored prodigy who defeated higher-level opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And crucially, they were classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, all sorts of tangled grudges and romances played out in the audience’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upcoming battle in the Mirror Flower, Water Moon seemed far more interesting than they’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dong! Dong! Dong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen swiftly crossed the spectator seats and landed on the arena, his gaze calm as he faced Lin Mo:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Challenging me first will be your greatest mistake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo waved his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You misunderstand—I just thought you sitting in the waiting area was too annoying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s face darkened; he opened his mouth to speak, but Lin Mo cut him off:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk—will you fight or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he silently drew his longsword from his back, his expression turning serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he’d spoken boldly earlier, Lin Mo’s defeat of Tang Lei had been utterly legitimate—his strength was no longer the same as the “cultivation waste” from Nanshan High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Lin Mo’s cultivation was solidly Qi Refining eighth-layer, while Ye Chen was only seventh-layer—he couldn’t afford to be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that didn’t mean he had no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, with the external sword named [Frost and Snow], his combat power had surged dramatically—far beyond what any same-rank cultivator could match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in refining external swords, he even held an advantage over pure sword cultivators like Chu Wange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Wange still needed to grow her own life-sword; Ye Chen’s external sword was a superior sword core, pre-refined with the life-sword intent of a Qingshan Sect sword elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he had to do was follow the method, refine it into his own life-object, and become the strongest killer in his rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, while still partially unrefined, [Frost and Snow] possessed formidable killing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this external sword that he had dominated the arena brawl earlier and secured his promotion slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen reached out and grasped the [Frost and Snow] sword before him; cold energy slowly spread across the arena as he gazed at Lin Mo with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo, you only control a mid-tier spell—what makes you think you can match me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you relying on that broken sword in your hand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment this thought arose in his mind, he saw Lin Mo sheath his standard Daoist sword behind his back, then smile gently at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need no weapon. Draw your sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Ye Chen frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did this sound so familiar? Where had he heard it before?\u003C\u002Fp>",1287,"2026-06-21T02:07:02.078Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","453867c7281691ca3ef294a0e7b0b7639a2bec57d28c4d0d73f3471618154841","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-88","comment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-chapter-86",479,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcomment-1-for-virtue-i-m-really-not-the-chosen-o-cover.jpg"]
