Chapter 248: Desperate Situation

~14 min read 2,678 words

Who is he?

In the stands, many people were puzzled, not understanding why everyone suddenly cheered.

"You don't even know him? Are you still a Daliang martial artist?"

"No, must a Daliang martial artist know who he is?"

"He is Lin Chen, who defeated Ben Shanlang of the Sihe Martial Academy and Hu Bing of the Chaoshang Martial Academy two months ago."

There were many practitioners in the stands who had watched that battle, which is why they were so excited to see Lin Chen appear.

Two months ago, the scene of Lin Chen turning the tide was still replaying in their minds.

Lin Chen?

The eyes of others at the scene also fell on Lin Chen. After the battle two months ago, there was no one present who didn't know the name Lin Chen.

Even Ranked practitioners had heard of him.

In the stands, several youths stared intently at Lin Chen.

This person was the genius who had recently emerged in Daliang, known as an existence surpassing Pei Qingming.

"What do you think?"

"Some strength, but not enough to look at."

In the stands, two youths whispered to each other, their eyes filled with absolute confidence.

"You are all too happy too early. I admit Lin Chen's strength is very strong, as proven by his defeat of Hu Bing and Ben Shanlang, but don't forget, the Yu Beichen brothers are all about to reach the Ranked Tier, while Lin Chen has only just stepped into the Organ Cultivation Stage, and the strength gap is huge."

"That's right. If Lin Chen were given a year, perhaps he could defeat the Yu Beichen brothers, but now, I'm afraid it won't work."

The discussions in the stands didn't affect Lin Chen. At this moment, he was walking toward the Lord Lingxiao Martial Academy disciples.

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi!"

Meng Xing saw Lin Chen's figure, and his face was filled with excitement.

Senior Lin Lin Shidi had gone to the Lord Lingxiao Palace and hadn't come out for a long time. He didn't expect him to come out at this time.

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi!"

Fu Ze and the other new batch of Lord Lingxiao Martial Academy disciples were also very excited. The scene of Senior Lin Lin Shidi defeating Hu Bing was still unforgettable to them.

However, those senior brothers from the previous batch didn't look as excited and relaxed at this moment.

The Yu Beichen brothers were not Hu Bing and Ben Shanlang. The three Yu brothers had refined their five organs, while Lin Chen had only refined two organs two months ago. The gap of three organs was a chasm.

Even if Lin Chen's physical body was strong, those at the Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage had already started refining spiritual weapons and could use weapons.

No matter how strong the physical body is, how can it compare to a spiritual weapon?

Not to mention that during Lin Chen's battle with Hu Bing, although there were rumors that their physical strength was comparable to the Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage, there might be exaggeration in that.

Not far away, Cui Yunfan's gaze also fell on Lin Chen, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

He had heard the name Lin Chen mentioned many times by the elders in his family, and he hated the owner of this name to the bone.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's appearance, the Martial Administration Force would have changed its policy long ago.

It was precisely because of Lin Chen's sudden appearance that the clan's plan was disrupted. If it weren't for the clan cutting ties with some people quickly, they would have been liquidated back then.

"Hou Yuanzhang."

Lin Chen nodded at Meng Xing and looked at Hou Zhan Tian.

Hou Zhan Tian was also staring at Lin Chen. Although martial artists' Qi and blood are restrained after opening acupoints, and even more contained within the organs after reaching the Organ Cultivation Stage, making it invisible from the outside, with his eyesight, he could still detect Lin Chen's changes.

His momentum was much stronger than two months ago.

"Any gains in the Lord Lingxiao Palace?"

"Yes, big gains."

Lin Chen didn't hide it and nodded heavily: "I am confident in this battle."

He had just carefully observed the battle between the Yu Beichen brothers and the three senior brothers. As long as these three hadn't reached the Ranked Tier, he had nothing to fear.

"Good. In that case, you will fight this battle. I will arrange two other disciples for you."

Hou Zhan Tian looked at Lin Chen deeply and didn't hesitate, agreeing directly.

The policy dispute over the Martial Administration Force's cultivation of disciples had never stopped since the death of the founding emperor. But because of the founding emperor's prestige, the voices demanding change had always been a minority in the Imperial Court, until the death of the Marquis of Zhenbei, when the voices holding the opinion of change increased.

This battle was related to many things.

"Thank you, Dean."

Hou Zhan Tian looked at the two disciples behind him: "Cao Fan, Liu Yuanlang, you two go on stage with Lin Chen."

"Yes."

Seeing the two senior brothers the Dean chose for him, Lin Chen had no objections. After exchanging glances with the two senior brothers, the three walked toward the arena.

Passing by Cui Yunfan and the others, Cui Yunfan had a smile on his face: "Lin Lin Shidi, Lin Lin Shixiong will wait for the news of your victory below."

"I definitely won't let Lin Lin Shixiong down."

Both Lin Chen and Cui Yunfan had smiles on their faces, but these smiles never reached the depths of their eyes.

Those with different paths do not conspire.

For Lin Chen himself, he could choose to give up. Cui Yunfan and the others' demand for the Martial Administration Force to change its policy on young martial artists could no longer affect him, and to some extent, if it really changed, he could even benefit more from it.

Not just him, but his next generation as well.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get past the hurdle in his own heart.

Without the policy of the Martial Administration Force, there would be no Lin Chen today, even with the panel!

Lin Chen was not a dragon-slaying youth, but he wouldn't become an evil dragon.

Leaving a path for martial artists from humble backgrounds, as long as it didn't endanger his own life, Lin Chen would do his best to do so.

Especially seeing Cui Yunfan and the others appear at this time, Lin Chen saw that these so-called martial arts geniuses who had gone abroad since childhood had no sense of belonging to Daliang at all; they were more about pursuing their own interests.

If a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him.

But living a life, one should also have one's own pursuits.

"Very good, then I wish Lin Lin Shidi victory in advance."

Cui Yunfan smiled insincerely. It was fine for Lin Chen to jump out. After losing the battle, he would go on stage to defeat the Yu Beichen brothers. By then, all the Daliang martial artists would know that Daliang's future ultimately relied on geniuses from these martial arts families.

Lin Chen didn't bother with Cui Yunfan anymore and followed Cao Fan and the two senior brothers toward the field.

"Lin Lin Shidi, try to stay behind us for a while. We two will strike first, don't try to be brave."

Cao Fan whispered in Lin Chen's ear. He had seen Lin Chen's battle with Hu Bing. He was indeed very strong in the early stage of Organ Cultivation, enough to sweep everything, but now it was a battle of the Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage.

This battle mainly relied on himself and Lin Lin Shixiong Liu. As for Lin Lin Shidi... he was more to help them delay one of the opponents.

He and Lin Lin Shixiong Liu would defeat their opponents as quickly as possible.

"Good."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, but still agreed.

As Lin Chen and the three walked onto the field, the entire arena fell silent again. The Daliang martial artists had looks of anticipation, their eyes locked on the stage.

"Have you all noticed that even though we feel the possibility of Lin Chen winning against the Yu Beichen brothers is not high, seeing Lin Chen go on stage, I don't know why, but a sense of anticipation always arises in my heart."

In the stands, a Daliang youth rubbed his hands, and others around him showed agreement.

Reason told them that Lin Chen going on stage wouldn't change the outcome, but there was a trace of anticipation in their hearts.

"This is Lin Chen's charm, creating miracles time and time again. Leaving his name on Mount Wudao seven times, breaking Senior Pei's record, defeating Ben Shanlang with one move, suppressing Hu Bing with his physical body... which one was predicted by everyone before it happened?"

"That's right. As long as Lin Chen is on the field, it's enough to make people ignore his strength and feel anticipation."

"You Daliang people really know how to comfort yourselves. Do you really think martial arts is something that can create miracles time and time again? Martial arts ultimately relies on strength. That Lin Chen had only refined two organ acupoints two months ago. What does he have to create miracles?" On the side, a martial artist from another country looked disdainful.

Hearing this, a Daliang martial artist questioned: "What if Lin Chen wins?"

"If Lin Chen wins, I will walk out of the arena naked."

On the arena stage, the Yu Beichen brothers looked at the three Lin Chens who had come on stage, their eyes also falling on Lin Chen.

"Big brother, leave Lin Chen to me."

The second brother, Yu Dongming, spoke. To deal with the three Lin Chens, they didn't need to use the joint attack technique.

"Second brother, leave Lin Chen to me. You and big brother deal with the other two."

The third brother, Yu Xingye, chuckled. A genius surpassing Pei Qingming—if he were defeated by his own hands, that would be interesting.

In their eyes, the moment they saw Lin Chen shoot the golden arrow, Yu Beichen actually took the initiative to crash into the golden arrow. If Yu Beichen hadn't swayed his body slightly to dodge, the golden arrow wouldn't have hit him.

"Yu Beichen couldn't dodge this arrow."

In the stands, several middle-aged men whispered, their eyes on Lin Chen filled with disbelief and inquiry.

If they weren't mistaken, that golden arrow should be martial arts will.

But how was this possible? How long had Lin Chen been in the Organ Cultivation Stage, and he didn't have the unique aura of a Ranked martial artist.

"Big brother!" Yu Dongming and Yu Xingye saw this scene, their eyes splitting with rage, but when they looked at Lin Chen and saw Lin Chen drawing the bow again, cold fear arose in their hearts.

Lin Chen raised his eyes, his expression without any fluctuation.

From the moment he started drawing the bow, his expression only contained the figures of the three Yu Beichen brothers.

Yes, in his heart, the three Yu Beichen brothers were no different from the wild beasts he had shot before. All he had to do was judge the movement trajectory of the three.

Whoosh!

The second arrow was shot!

And before the second arrow landed, Lin Chen's third arrow followed closely.

Before and after, it was just a flash.

"This is impossible!"

The entire audience, many practitioners, stared at these two golden arrows at this moment, and many martial artists from other countries were praying in their hearts, hoping these two golden arrows would miss.

Bang bang!

In the air, two blood flowers appeared!

The brothers Yu Dongming and Yu Xingye, facing these two arrows, seemed sluggish, with no reaction at all.

The arms holding the spears of the two were pierced by the golden arrows, the long spears slipped from their hands and fell to the ground.

The scene was silent.

Clang!

Until the sound of the long spears hitting the ground rang out, many onlookers came back to their senses. The next moment, the scene erupted in unparalleled cheers.

For many Daliang martial artists, they didn't understand what was going on.

But they knew that Lin Chen had won this battle for sure.

A moment ago, when Cao Fan and Liu Yuanlang were tricked and injured, a shadow had been cast over the hearts of all Daliang martial artists, and they had no hope for this battle.

But in the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed!

"This is Lin Chen!"

"The Yu Beichen brothers were like prey; this is truly satisfying!"

"Three arrows defeat three Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage practitioners. After this battle, who would dare to say that Daliang's younger generation is inferior to other countries."

The Daliang martial artists in the stands roared, and off the stage, Yu Fei was also very excited: "I said Senior Lin Lin Shidi's archery is terrifying. The moment Senior Lin Lin Shidi nocked the arrow, it meant it would hit."

"I was a frog in a well. Lin Lin Shidi cannot be measured by common sense."

Di Qian also had a smile on his face. Although he had judged wrong and was slapped in the face, he hoped such slaps would happen more often.

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi's strength..."

Meng Xing, in addition to being shocked, whispered softly. He knew his strength was not as good as Senior Lin Lin Shidi's, and he feared it would be very difficult to catch up, but he didn't expect the gap to be so large.

How long had it been, and Senior Lin Lin Shidi was already able to fight with Organ Cultivation Perfection Stage martial artists.

No, not fighting, but a one-sided, complete crushing.

Hou Zhan Tian's old face also had a smile, his eyes looking in a certain direction, where an old man with a livid face stood—the Vice Island Master of the three islands of Nansha.

In the stands, several of the youths had their mouths slightly open, and even now, there was disbelief in their eyes.

Daliang, a country recognized as not cultivating geniuses enough, why could it produce such a genius?

"Referee, have I won?"

Lin Chen looked at the referee. At this moment, the referee was also a bit sluggish. Hearing Lin Chen's words, he came back to his senses, looked at the Yu Beichen brothers who had fallen to the ground holding their arms, his eyes complex.

"According to the rules, the competition should end when one side admits defeat or completely loses the ability to fight."

Although, according to the situation, the Yu Beichen brothers had no ability to fight again, the referee still followed the rules.

"Understood!"

Lin Chen nodded, and the bow and arrow in his hand were drawn again.

When this scene appeared, the people of the three islands of Nansha could no longer sit still.

"We lost this battle!"

The Vice Island Master of the three islands of Nansha couldn't help but speak. If Lin Chen shot another arrow, the Yu Beichen brothers would be completely crippled.

The three islands of Nansha admitted defeat. A man went on stage to carry the Yu Beichen brothers down. Lin Chen didn't stop them, slowly put away the Long Yinggong in his hand, and looked at Cui Yunfan and the others off the stage.

"Thank you, Lin Lin Shixiong, for your previous encouragement!"

Cui Yunfan, who was already gloomy, heard this, and his face became even uglier, but he still forced a smile: "Congratulations, Lin Lin Shidi, for raising the prestige of Daliang's martial arts."

Second time!

Cui Yunfan watched Lin Chen's back as he turned and left, his heart filled with monstrous hatred. This was the second time Lin Chen had ruined the clan's plan.

"Dean, this disciple has not failed the mission."
