Chapter 305

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Chen walked toward the Soul-Testing Stele with a calm expression.

Everyone at the scene had their eyes following Lin Chen's movement, and there was a look of doubt in their eyes.

What they were puzzled about was what Lin Chen was actually thinking.

Even if Lin Chen wanted to get points for the Canglan Martial Academy, there was no need to follow Bian Xinjie. Appearing at this time, isn't he just asking for humiliation?

Let others test first, and wait until dozens of people have failed before taking the stage, and by that time, everyone would have calmed down from the shock brought by Bian Xinjie.

"It seems that this genius of yours from Daliang is also a proud person."

Lu Qiguang spoke with a chuckle. The powerhouses of the other countries also looked toward Hou Zhan Tian. It was arrogance, but in reality, it was stupidity.

In the martial academy ranking competition, morale is sometimes very important. The strength of most martial artists present is not much different. Many times, victory or defeat depends on who performs better on the spot, and the side with strong morale will occupy the advantage.

"A person cannot stand without pride."

Hou Zhan Tian replied coldly. His old eyes looked toward Lin Chen. He didn't know why Lin Chen chose to stand out at this time, but thinking of Lin Chen's turning the tide at the Lingxiao Martial Academy...

Could it be that Lin Chen is confident he can surpass Bian Xinjie?

This thought appeared in his heart, and there was a hint of anticipation in Hou Zhan Tian's eyes. Although this possibility was extremely small, when facing the Sihe Martial Academy and the Chaosheng Martial Academy, didn't everyone also think that the possibility of Lin Chen winning was very small?

In front of the stele, Bian Xinjie looked at Lin Chen who was walking over, his face cold, and there was mockery in his eyes. He really thought that because he had turned the tide twice in Daliang, he could do it every time.

A person who doesn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth; he was just waiting to see a joke.

On a high tower pavilion to the left of the martial academy, Elder Murong Yan was clenching her hands tightly, murmuring: "There must be a miracle."

Elder Murong Xin on the side was a bit helpless: "Little sister, where do so many miracles come from? Lin Chen has only just entered the Ranked Tier. He was able to defeat Su Zhe by relying on the toughness of his physical body, directly breaking Su Zhe's sword energy. But the growth of spiritual sense follows the rank. Lin Chen is only a Ninth-Rank martial artist; being able to have a height of one zhang is already considered quite good."

"Fifth Sister, I believe in Lin Chen. Since Lin Chen dares to choose to stand out at this time, he must be confident."

Elder Murong Xin curled her lips; her little sister's infatuation with Lin Chen had reached the point of losing her mind.

"If Lin Chen can really surpass Bian Xinjie..." Elder Murong Shuang listened to the words of her two younger sisters and smiled: "There is no need to surpass him. As long as Lin Chen can make the light reach ten zhang, Father and Mother will absolutely not oppose the matter between you and Lin Chen."

The incident that happened in the Imperial Garden seemed to have no much impact, but Elder Murong Shuang knew that Father did not want the Sixth Sister to marry Lin Chen.

If it were in the past, based on the strength and talent Lin Chen had shown, and the Sixth Sister also favoring Lin Chen, Father would definitely agree to this marriage. But at the moment, Liang Guo and Han Guo are in the middle of a conflict. If the Sixth Sister and Lin Chen unite, it is easy to get Yan Guo involved.

But if Lin Chen can really reach ten zhang, I think Father will not care about Liang Guo and Han Guo going to war. With this kind of potential, there will be no problem entering the First Rank in the future.

The Soul-Testing Stele is an object of Yan Guo, so only their Imperial Family knows a secret of the Soul-Testing Stele.

A Ninth-Rank martial artist can impact the ten-zhang height. As long as they don't fall, they will definitely enter the First Rank in the future, and it is not the kind of First Rank that one barely enters when old. It is very likely to enter the First Rank before the age of fifty.

A fifty-year-old First Rank has thirty years of peak period!

Of the entire nine countries, except for Han Guo which currently has two, none of the other eight countries have anyone who entered the First Rank before the age of fifty.

His figure passed Bian Xinjie, and Lin Chen stood in front of the stele. Under the gaze of everyone, he raised his right hand and slowly placed it on the stele.

The moment his palm touched the stele, Lin Chen's eyes twitched. He felt a unique suction force coming from the palm, making the little person in his dantian move a bit.

This suction force was aimed at the little person.

Lin Chen's mind moved, the little person's figure trembled and returned to its original place, and this special suction force also dissipated.

Boom!

Just at the moment when this suction force dissipated, the black light pillar on the stele instantly surged, instantly reaching a height of three zhang. Seeing this scene, many martial artists at the scene had a look of shock on their faces.

Three zhang!

This is already close to the top-tier level, and one must know that Lin Chen is a freshman of the martial academy.

"What does he rely on to have three zhang!"

On the Zheng Guo Martial Academy side, Ben Shanlang had a look of resentment in his eyes. Lin Chen being able to reach three zhang meant that everyone would not think he was overestimating his own strength, and the mockery toward him would also decrease, which was something he did not want to see.

"No wonder Lin Lin Shidi dared to go up. Three zhang height... although defeated, it is still glorious."

Li Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief. Although compared to Bian Xinjie's fifteen zhang, Lin Lin Shidi's three-zhang height was nothing, but don't forget that Lin Lin Shidi is two years younger than Bian Xinjie. If it were Bian Xinjie two years ago, whether he could reach three zhang is still a question.

Seeing the three-zhang black light pillar on the stele, Bian Xinjie gave a light laugh. He was truly naive, thinking that this could win back face for Liang Guo?

On the high tower pavilion, Elder Murong Xin looked at the three-zhang-high black light pillar and sighed: "If it weren't for the results of Bian Xinjie and the others before, Lin Chen's result would be enough to shock everyone. It's just a pity..."

Before the words had finished, Elder Murong Xin's mouth opened slightly, looking at the sudden change of the stele in disbelief.

Boom!

On the Soul-Testing Stele, another light pillar shot into the sky at this moment. This light pillar did not merge with the previous light pillar; the two light pillars rose side by side. And this light pillar directly surged to a height of six zhang. At the same time, the first light pillar also rose to a height of six zhang with the appearance of the second light pillar.

At the scene, there was silence.

No one knew why the Soul-Testing Stele had such a change.

"Two light pillars at six zhang height, doesn't that mean Senior Lin Lin Shidi is equivalent to a height of twelve zhang?"

Meng Xing was extremely excited, and the others on the side were also looking at these two light pillars with shock. "This... this is the first time I have seen two light pillars appear on the Soul-Testing Stele."

The disciples of the Yan Guo Imperial Martial Academy were the most shocked at this moment. They were the ones who knew the Soul-Testing Stele best and had conducted spiritual sense trials many times over the years, but they had never seen anyone who could make the Soul-Testing Stele display two light pillars.

It was not just that they hadn't seen it; they hadn't heard the instructors and the dean in the academy mention it either.

Seeing the two black light pillars at six zhang height, Bian Xinjie just turned cold, but Lu Chuanning on the side had an exceptionally ugly expression at this moment. He only reached a height of over nine zhang. If Lin Chen's two light pillars could be calculated by adding them up, wouldn't that mean Lin Chen surpassed him?

He, a dignified powerhouse ranked seventh on the Heavenly Ranking, actually lost to Lin Chen, who was first on the Earth Ranking, in spiritual sense strength?

Impossible, there must be something wrong with this Soul-Testing Stele.

"Quiet!"

Facing the uproar at the scene, Elder Murong Song gave a light shout: "The appearance of double pillars is a normal thing; there is no problem with the Soul-Testing Stele."

After the words fell, Elder Murong Song's gaze stared tightly at Lin Chen. He knew very well in his heart why the Soul-Testing Stele would have double pillars; that was because this Lin Chen could separate his spiritual sense.

The technique of spiritual sense separation is a secret of their Yan Guo Imperial Family that is not passed on. Only after the Imperial Family disciples step into the Mid-Rank can they practice this secret technique.

It is not that they don't teach it to the young people in the clan, but that without reaching the Mid-Rank stage, the spiritual sense strength simply cannot do it. Even if taught, they won't be able to practice it, and there is a risk of exposing the secret technique.

Elder Murong Song's words made the suspicious voices at the scene disappear instantly, and the next moment someone exclaimed.

"Another one has appeared!"

A third black light pillar appeared. This time the light pillar rose directly to nine zhang, and the two light pillars in front also reached nine zhang.

"Brother Elder Murong, how should this be calculated for points?"

Lu Qiguang looked at the three black light pillars, and his expression was also a bit ugly. If it were to be calculated by adding them up, then Lin Chen would be equivalent to a height of twenty-seven zhang, far exceeding Bian Xinjie.

"No hurry."

Elder Murong Song did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Lin Chen with anticipation in his eyes.

Can there be more?

"I knew it, I knew it."

On the high tower pavilion, Elder Murong Yan's beautiful eyes were shining, and Elder Murong Xin behind her had her mouth open wide enough to fit a goose egg.

At this moment, Bian Xinjie no longer had a smile on his face. The only pride that could support him was that Lin Chen's height still hadn't caught up to him.

"I don't know what method you used, but the light pillar can only calculate the highest one."

Lin Chen, with his hand on the stele, listened to Bian Xinjie's somewhat exasperated words behind him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Fine... I will completely destroy your fluke mentality.

"There... there is a fourth one appearing too."

"It's not over yet, the fifth one..."

"The sixth one..."

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three more black light pillars appeared. Six black light pillars were now shooting straight into the clouds, each one eighteen zhang high.

"He surpassed him!"

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi surpassed Bian Xinjie. A single light pillar reached eighteen zhang, and there are six in total. If added together, that would be a height of one hundred and eight zhang."

Kong Qing's voice was trembling. Everyone at the scene had their expressions frozen at this moment, staring at the six extremely conspicuous black light pillars with disbelief. They really couldn't understand how Lin Chen did it.

Is the Soul-Testing Stele broken?

However, the dean of the Imperial Martial Academy had already said that the Soul-Testing Stele was not broken.

Slap!

The six light pillars were maintained for five breaths. Lin Chen withdrew his hand, the light pillars dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

However, the scene was still silent.

Three breaths later, Lu Chuanning's figure flashed and suddenly appeared on the stele, slapping the stele with one palm.

He didn't believe the stele wasn't broken!

Boom!

The light pillar on the stele rose again, steadily landing at a position just over nine zhang, not a bit different from the result of his previous test.

Lu Chuanning widened his eyes, his gaze revealing a look of confusion, and everyone at the scene who saw this scene was now convinced that there was no problem with Lin Chen's results.

Seeing Lu Chuanning with a confused look, and then seeing the figure standing there with a straight posture, at this moment everyone deeply imprinted this figure in their minds.

No matter how many years pass, I'm afraid they will find it hard to forget this scene before them.

PS: I know everyone has monthly tickets at the end of the month. Double monthly tickets on the 28th. Everyone, save them for two more days, don't waste them.
