Martial Way Mountain.

After seven days, Lin Chen looked at his ranking and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"10,000th place!"

He spent seven days, practicing day and night, and finally stepped into the top 10,000.

He had thought about whether he could directly reveal to these forces from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao that he was already a disciple of the Canglan Sect, making them wary of Liang Guo.

Pulling the tiger's skin to make a banner.

But in the end, he gave up this idea.

First: He didn't know how big the gap in strength between the Canglan Sect and these sects was.

Second: Even if these people were wary of the Canglan Sect and didn't make a move against him, it didn't mean they wouldn't make a move against Liang Guo.

Third: He obtained the inheritance of the Canglan Order and Canglan Finger, and was qualified to go to the Canglan Sect to participate in the sect entry assessment. Whether the Jiuque Sect and these Innate martial artists knew the rules of the Canglan Sect, if they knew, I'm afraid they wouldn't care too much about his identity as a fake Canglan Sect disciple. Pulling the tiger's skin might not necessarily work.

Third: Is he, this disciple, worth the Canglan Sect protecting the entire Liang Guo for him?

He is not a disciple cultivated by the Canglan Sect since childhood. Those powerhouses of the Canglan Sect have no feelings for him, and even if they have feelings, it is useless. This kind of sect only values the potential of disciples.

From the spiritual soul last words of that Canglan True Person senior, it can be seen that the Canglan Sect doesn't attach much importance to this kind of disciple holding the Canglan Order; it is more of a wide-net casting move.

He has challenged on Martial Way Mountain for so long, and he also knows something about some geniuses of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao.

Only the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain can truly enter the eyes of these sect powerhouses.

When the potential he reveals is stronger, the Canglan Sect will value him more.

Only in this situation, if he proposes that he wants to protect the entire Liang Guo, will the Canglan Sect be willing to offend other sects for his sake.

Of course, there is also the most important reason: exposing his identity as a disciple will likely bring him a devastating disaster.

【Those who hold the Canglan Order are geniuses selected by this sect. I hope other sects, regions, dynasties, and island martial artists will take care of them and not harm this person.】

【Those who hold the Canglan Order should rush to this sect within five years. If they don't rush to this sect within five years, this sect will have disciples come to investigate. If there is no suitable reason to delay, they will be killed!】

The Canglan Sect has means to sense the Canglan Order. If a disciple is killed, the Canglan Sect will investigate the Canglan Order to investigate the murderer.

But for some powerhouses, killing doesn't need to be done by themselves.

Borrowing a knife to kill, shifting the disaster……

Such means are everywhere. Lin Chen can't guarantee that after he exposes his identity as a Canglan Sect disciple, these powerhouses from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao won't target him openly, but will use other means to kill him secretly.

Therefore, for him, the safest way is to contact the Canglan Sect and inform the Canglan Sect of his current situation.

Winning 90,000 matches in a row on Martial Way Mountain and killing his way into the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain.

Such martial way talent should be enough to make the Canglan Sect value him.

"Continue to challenge!"

Lin Chen whispered, but this time he didn't enter the battle plain at the first moment.

In front of him, a panel appeared.

【9999th place: Chen Qiao of Meteor Valley】

【9998th place: Zhang Sheng of Xuanyuan Pavilion】

……

【9993rd place: Xing Youning of Canglan Sect】

On the panel, the names of ten opponents appeared, including the sect they belonged to.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he chose this Lin Lin Shixiong Xing from the Canglan Sect without hesitation.

……

Canglan Sect.

Xing Youning was practicing sword when his brows twitched suddenly. He returned the long sword to its sheath and took out the Martial Way Seal from his bosom.

"Lin Chen of Canglan Sect?"

"It's actually a junior brother of this sect, but why have I never heard of this name?"

Xing Youning saw the sect and name of the challenger displayed on the Martial Way Seal, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes. Those who could enter the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain were all genius disciples of their major sects.

In the entire Canglan Sect, there were less than a hundred disciples who entered the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain. He knew all the senior brothers who ranked in front of him. This Lin Lin Shidi challenging himself meant that he had just entered the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain not long ago.

But didn't this Lin Lin Shidi know the rules?

After entering the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain, one can see the names and sects of opponents with a difference of ten places. When choosing an opponent, one will not choose disciples of one's own sect.

Because after entering the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain, the challenge is no longer to postpone the ranking in turn, but the challenger and the challenged exchange rankings.

This Lin Lin Shidi is 10,000th place. If he wins against himself, the ranking will go to 9,993rd place, and he will fall directly to 10,000th place.

The change in the rules of Martial Way Mountain is actually to make the competition of various sects, especially their major sects, more intense. Clearly, his own strength is stronger than the few in front, but just because the challenger and the disciples of the few in front have a good relationship with the sect, they skipped them and challenged themselves. How can they be reconciled in their hearts?

These disciples, although their strength is not strong yet, they represent the future of the sect. The grievances formed with other sects on Martial Way Mountain will always accompany them as they become the backbone of the sect.

Withdrawing his thoughts, although Xing Youning was puzzled why his fellow sect junior brother would challenge him, he still chose to enter Martial Way Mountain.

……

Martial Way Mountain.

Lin Chen discovered that the place of this battle had changed. It was no longer a plain, but appeared in front of a square.

Directly in front of the square, there was a blue jade stele with the words 【Canglan】 engraved on it.

"Lin Lin Shidi, why do you want to challenge me?"

After Lin Chen finished looking around, a figure also appeared opposite him.

Xing Youning looked at Lin Chen opposite. His face was very strange. He could be sure that he hadn't seen him in the sect, so he asked in a deep voice.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, Lin Lin Shidi didn't intentionally want to challenge Lin Lin Shixiong, but had reasons that had to be done."

Lin Chen hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted. He still had to borrow this senior brother's mouth to pass the message to the sect, so naturally, he couldn't offend this Lin Lin Shixiong Xing.

"Oh, tell me and listen."

Hearing that the other party had reasons that had to be done, Xing Youning's face looked a little better.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, Lin Lin Shidi is not in the sect, but on an island in a desolate place. Lin Lin Shidi, I..."

"Wait!"

Xing Youning suddenly interrupted Lin Chen's words, and there was an unbelievable color in his eyes: "You said you came from those islands in the desolate place of the martial way, and you obtained the Canglan Order?"

"Hmm."

Xing Youning's expression was a bit excited. The sect would have dozens of disciples holding the Canglan Order come to the sect every year, but only half of these disciples were barely qualified to join the outer sect. As for those who could directly become inner sect disciples, only one or two would appear in ten years.

"Where are you now?" Xing Youning asked.

"I'm still on the island."

Hearing Lin Chen's answer, Xing Youning's mouth twitched: "That is to say, you haven't entered the territory of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao yet. Then how did you enter Martial Way Mountain?"

"Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, I once met a senior from the Qingtian Sect..."

Lin Chen concealed the matter of Liang Guo's Martial Way Mountain and only said that he obtained the Martial Way Mountain Seal from that senior of the Qingtian Sect. "Qingtian Sect, and also taught you the Qianji Evolution Jue?" Xing Youning thought for a moment, and his heart understood that this Qingtian Sect should be a small sect in the Qianji Region. The sects in the Qianji Region have the Martial Way Mountain Seal, which makes sense.

This Martial Way Mountain was built by the Qianji Gate of the Qianji Region.

Without coming to the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, yet being able to enter the top 10,000 of Martial Way Mountain, this Lin Lin Shidi's martial way talent...

"Lin Lin Shidi, with your talent, when you arrive at the sect, you can directly become an inner sect disciple. Maybe if you are lucky, you can also be favored by the elders and taken as a direct disciple."

"Direct disciple?"

Lin Chen smiled: "Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, Lin Lin Shidi once met other senior brothers of our sect. At that time, that senior brother told me a sentence that Du Zhanglao of the sect asked him to pass to me: if I can practice the Wujin Shenxiang Jue, he will take me as a direct disciple."

"Du Zhanglao? Wujin Shenxiang Jue?"

Xing Youning began to think about the information revealed in Lin Chen's words. He hadn't heard of this Wujin Shenxiang Jue, but he knew Du Zhanglao, which meant that Du Zhanglao had paid attention to Lin Chen very early and had the intention of taking him as a disciple.

Presumably, this Wujin Shenxiang Jue should be a technique that is extremely difficult to practice, and Du Zhanglao used this to test Lin Lin Shidi.

"Then has Lin Lin Shidi succeeded in practicing it?"

"Hmm, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my mission."

Seeing Lin Chen nod, a look of envy also emerged in Xing Youning's heart. Even he hadn't been guarded by an elder as a direct disciple until now. This Lin Lin Shidi hadn't even arrived at the sect, and he had already been taken fancy to by Du Zhanglao.

There is still a difference in treatment between inner sect disciples and direct disciples.

Thinking that this Lin Lin Shidi was a future inner sect disciple, the last dissatisfaction in Xing Youning's heart was gone, and he asked actively: "Lin Lin Shidi, you just said it was a last resort. What happened?"

Lin Chen could feel the change in the tone of this Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, and he also sighed in his heart. His decision was right.

Martial way, speak with strength.

The potential he revealed had already made this Lin Lin Shixiong Xing have no previous complaints about him, and even actively cared about his situation.

Senior brothers are like this, and sect powerhouses are also like this.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, Lin Lin Shidi, the place where I am now, has appeared many sects of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao. These sects entered, wantonly..."

"I understand what Lin Lin Shidi means."

Xing Youning didn't wait for Lin Chen to finish, and directly interrupted Lin Chen's words.

This Lin Lin Shidi is here to ask the sect for help.

With this Lin Lin Shidi's martial way potential, I am afraid that in his local area, he also belongs to a famous family, and it is very likely that he is the son of the royal family of a dynasty. Now that the martial artists of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao have entered, it will inevitably bring harm to the family of Lin Lin Shidi.

"Lin Lin Shidi, don't worry. The sects that will go to the desolate place don't count for anything. Lin Lin Shixiong can clearly tell you that as long as you reveal your identity as a disciple of the Canglan Sect... I'm afraid an ordinary disciple of the Canglan Sect won't work, but as long as you reveal that you have been taken as a direct disciple by an elder, none of these sects will dare to move you and your family dynasty."

Xing Youning directly gave Lin Chen a reassurance.

"Lin Lin Shidi, if you are not at ease, tell me the names of those sects."

"Jiuque Sect."

"Never heard of it."

"Xuanming Sect."

"Never heard of it."

"Galuo Sect."

"Never heard of it."

Xing Youning stopped Lin Chen from continuing: "Lin Lin Shidi, the sects that even I haven't heard of, I'm afraid they don't even count as second-rate in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao. Lin Lin Shidi, you should not understand the status of our Canglan Sect in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao. Lin Lin Shixiong will introduce it to you."

"Canglan Sect, founded for 60,000 years, one of the twenty-four super sects of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, the first sect of the Canglan Region, and the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, besides super sects, then it is first-rate sects, and then those second-rate sects, and then third-rate sects and unranked."

"However, these so-called second-rate, third-rate, and unranked are divided by many small sects. In the eyes of our Canglan Sect disciples, all below first-rate are unranked."

Lin Chen: "Uh..."

He understood what this senior brother meant.

In the eyes of the Canglan Sect, sects below first-rate don't count for anything. Even if there is a gap in strength between them, these gaps can be ignored in front of a behemoth like the Canglan Sect.

On the contrary, these small sects, in order to reflect that their sect is more powerful than other sects, subdivided the so-called second-rate, third-rate, and unranked.

Lin Chen's eyes were bright. The Canglan Sect was more powerful than he imagined.

"Thank you, Lin Lin Shixiong, for clearing up my confusion. I understand."

Lin Chen cupped his hands and saluted to express his gratitude, and then continued: "I am worried now that if I say I am a direct disciple of the Canglan Sect elder, those sects won't believe me, thinking I am pulling the tiger's skin to make a banner."

"That is indeed a problem."

Xing Youning put himself in the perspective of those Innate powerhouses of unranked sects, and I'm afraid he wouldn't believe that Lin Lin Shidi had been taken as a direct disciple by an elder.

As for the Canglan Order of the Canglan Sect, many people in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao know it, and they also know that many disciples holding the Canglan Order arrive at the Canglan Sect, and they can't even enter the outer sect.

"In this way, I will report this matter to the sect elders first. Lin Lin Shidi, you wait for my news."

"Trouble, Lin Lin Shixiong."

"You and I are fellow sect brothers; no need to be so polite."

Xing Youning laughed, but after laughing, the atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.

In Xing Youning's heart, this Lin Lin Shidi should have proposed to take the initiative to admit defeat.

It's impossible to really fight with himself.

Lin Chen also saw the puzzled eyes of this Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, but he couldn't admit defeat. Admitting defeat meant that the winning streak was broken.

At the moment, he had to cup his hands and say: "Lin Lin Shixiong Xing, sorry, Lin Lin Shidi doesn't want to take the initiative to admit defeat, but Lin Lin Shidi has won so many matches in a row on Martial Way Mountain. If I admit defeat like this, I'm afraid it's a bit of a pity."

Hearing Lin Chen's answer, the smile on Xing Youning's face faded a bit. This Lin Lin Shidi was really pushing his luck.

Those who can enter the top 10,000, who hasn't won a streak on Martial Way Mountain? He himself also killed his way from 16,000th to 10,000th in one breath.

Because of dissatisfaction, Xing Youning's tone was also a bit indifferent: "How many matches did Lin Lin Shidi win in a row?"

"90,000."

"Still... 90... 90,000 matches?"

A look of horror appeared on Xing Youning's face: "Lin Lin Shidi, you mean you haven't lost once since you stepped into Martial Way Mountain?"

"Hmm." Lin Chen scratched his head: "Lin Lin Shidi, I just feel that if the winning streak is just like this..."

"No need to say more."

Xing Youning directly interrupted Lin Chen's words: "Lin Lin Shidi, you did the right thing. Lin Lin Shixiong will admit defeat himself. Lin Lin Shidi, you wait for Lin Lin Shixiong's good news."

90,000 matches in a row!

What is that concept?

Where is this a super genius? This is simply a super heaven-defying genius.

You must know that this Lin Lin Shidi is in the desolate place of the martial way, not in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao. Being able to win 90,000 matches in a row in the desolate place of the martial way, how high is this martial way talent? Anyway, he doesn't dare to think about it.

Their Canglan Sect has really picked up a treasure this time.

If he let Lin Lin Shidi admit defeat, and the sect deacons and elders knew about this, he would have to bear the title of sect sinner the next day.
