Chapter 411: As You Wish (Seeking Monthly Votes)

It's here!

When they saw the scene on the light screen change and another figure appear, the villagers of Linhu Village all held their breath and waited.

"The Xuanhuang Sect is also a super sect of the Yan Huang Dynasty. The Xuanhuang Hunyuan Technique cultivated by this sect is recognized as one of the strongest defensive martial arts techniques in the entire Yan Huang Dynasty. In this Mount Wudao leaderboard, there are two disciples from the Xuanhuang Sect in the top ten, and the one currently ranked second is also from the Xuanhuang Sect."

The outer disciple of the East Sea Divine Palace began to introduce the opponent's situation.

This was the task Hu Zhishi had entrusted to him.

However, this disciple didn't have an arrogant attitude just because most of the people present were just ordinary commoners. He already knew that Lin Chen's parents and family were here. Hu Zhishi wanted to sell Lin Chen a favor, and he also thought about having some intersection with the Lin family by taking this opportunity.

Regardless of whether Lin Chen could reach the top, the strength Lin Chen had displayed was enough for him to look up to.

"This battle is estimated to be a tough one."

Wei Chuzhi gave his judgment, and after hearing his words, the dozens of young figures sitting on the other side of the villagers showed looks of anticipation.

"It's been a long time since I saw Lin Lin Shixiong make a move. I vaguely remember when Lin Lin Shixiong and I fought on the ring, it was a big battle..."

"Junior Brother Fu, how many times have you said this? If you want to say that, I once suppressed Lin Lin Shixiong."

These young men were martial artists from Poyang County, and they were in the same batch as Lin Chen, but now they had left the martial arts hall.

Some had gone to other places to continue seeking a breakthrough in martial arts, and some had stayed in Poyang County.

"Stop talking nonsense and watch carefully. See if you can comprehend something from the battle between Lin Lin Shixiong and his opponent."

Gu Shan spoke. As soon as he said this, the others stared at the light screen seriously.

Jia Nanzhu on the side heard this and sighed slightly. Lin Chen was already an Innate expert, and the gap was too large. Such a battle couldn't bring too many insights to these little guys who hadn't even stepped into the Mid-Rank, and it might even hurt their martial arts hearts.

The gap was too large. If the mentality wasn't firm enough, what would be produced would be despair.

……

Three breaths later.

"Hiss, what kind of method is this!"

When they saw on the light screen that the Xuanhuang Sect martial artist transformed into a three-zhang giant, and the earth trembled with every step, and even the ground cracked, the villagers on the scene were all dumbfounded.

Could martial artists be this powerful?

In the eyes of these villagers, the martial artists they had seen were just a bit stronger in power and faster in speed... but they never imagined they could change their body size.

Was this still human?

"What kind of technique is this?"

Gu Shan and Fu Ang also had their mouths slightly open. They cultivated the Iron Bone Technique, which belonged to body-refining techniques. They could see that this person was also cultivating a body-refining technique, but compared to the two, the Iron Bone Technique wasn't worth mentioning.

"How could Chen'er's opponent be like this?"

Lin's mother was pale, with a look of worry on her face. She was just an ordinary woman, and her son wouldn't mention things about martial arts to her every time he came home. In her heart, the battle and sparring between martial artists should be the kind where you throw a punch and I throw a palm...

But the opponent turned into a giant. If this punch hit Chen'er...

"Don't worry. Since Lin Chen dared to challenge, he was prepared. The strength of a martial artist is not determined by body size."

Jia Nanzhu opened his mouth to comfort Lin's mother. The increase in body size would indeed bring about an increase in strength, but after reaching the Innate Realm, the strength of these Innate experts shouldn't have much to do with body size, right?

Yes.

Jia Nanzhu wasn't sure either, because Daliang had never had an Innate martial artist.

The few Innate elders of the Martial Alliance in the Nine Nations now wouldn't inform him about Innate martial artists either.

This was more of his own deduction.

"Did you hear what Jia said? Don't worry too much. Our Chen'er hasn't even fought yet."

Lin's father also held his wife's hand, but the sweat on his palms exposed the tension in his heart at this moment. Lin's mother could naturally feel the sweat on her husband's palms, but she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips, her eyes still full of worry.

"How will Lin Lin Shixiong respond?"

Zhao Jingchuan, Lu Yongfeng, and others stared tightly at the light screen, and the next moment, their mouths opened wide again, as if they had seen an incredible scene.

In the light screen, the two giants were fighting frantically.

Open and close!

One was covered in flames, and one was filled with rocks.

Although they couldn't hear the sound, everyone could clearly feel the terror of the battle between these two giants.

"We probably couldn't even withstand one punch."

Lu Yongfeng swallowed his saliva. Wei Chuzhi on the side heard this and smiled, saying: "Still want to withstand one punch? Below the Innate level, you can't even get close."

Although he hadn't stepped into the Innate level, he had seen the battles between the Innate-level senior brothers in the sect. The power and the aura released were such that they, these Mid-Rank martial artists, had to stay ten zhang away. Once both sides fought and the energy leaked out, they had to retreat to a hundred zhang away.

Lin's father and mother held their hands tightly. At this moment, their hearts were hanging. It turned out that the battle between martial artists was so intense, but Chen'er never told them anything before.

Thinking that Chen'er could reach where he was today, he didn't know how much suffering he had endured and how many injuries he had suffered along the way, but every time he came home, he always reported good news and not bad news.

Fortunately, this tension didn't last long.

Ten breaths later, everyone saw the figure of the Xuanhuang Sect martial artist disappear in the light screen.

"Won!"

Seeing the figure of the Xuanhuang Sect martial artist disappear, the people on the scene didn't dare to be sure until Wei Chuzhi said "Won", and then the scene erupted with sky-shaking cheers.

"Won, Lin Lin Shixiong actually won!"

"It's really an eye-opener. I didn't expect martial arts to be cultivated like this!"

Zhao Jingchuan and others sighed. Lin's father and mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jia Nanzhu's old face showed a smile, and the veins that had bulged on his withered arms also converged and disappeared.

"Village Chief, should we sacrifice to the ancestors?"

While the villagers were cheering, the second son of the Xu family whispered to the old village chief Zhao Canghu.

Zhao Canghu glared at the second son of the Xu family angrily. Can sacrificing to the ancestors be so frequent?

Didn't you hear Jia say that Lin Chen is challenging the summit?

This was only the first match, and there were many more. You can't sacrifice to the ancestors every time you win a match.

You also have to give the ancestors time to rest.

……

……

Mount Wudao steps. Having defeated the Xuanhuang Sect disciple, Lin Chen's expression was calm. He hadn't used his full strength in this battle.

After withdrawing from Mount Wudao, Du Xiaofeng gave Lin Chen an elixir and told him to take it.

Every battle that followed was crucial. Even if he hadn't used his full strength, Lin Chen wouldn't underestimate the enemy. He had to adjust his state to the best before challenging the next one.

And while Lin Chen was recovering the Innate Power in his body, the Innate martial artists ranked ahead of Lin Chen were also estimating Lin Chen's strength based on this battle.

A certain sect.

"Compared to two months ago, it seems there isn't much change."

"If that's the case, I have the strength to fight."

……

A certain sect.

"If it's still this strength, then he can only stop at fourth place."

A young man had a look of confidence in his eyes. He was ranked third. Based on the strength Lin Chen had displayed in this battle, he definitely wouldn't be his opponent.

……

……

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Chen stood up and looked at his Master: "Master, this disciple has already recovered."

"Hmm, go."……

On the steps of Mount Wudao, Lin Chen chose his next opponent.

On the battle plain.

Lin Chen looked at the opponent in front of him, his eyes calm.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, before the battle, I want to ask one thing, and I hope Lin Lin Shixiong can tell me truthfully."

Hearing these words, Lin Chen's brows furrowed, but he didn't agree.

"Rest assured, my question doesn't involve Lin Lin Shixiong's privacy, just want Lin Lin Shixiong to give me the truth. In the battle with Ban Yonghuai just now, did Lin Lin Shixiong reserve strength?"

"Hmm."

Hearing that it was this question, Lin Chen didn't hide it and nodded.

Xue Xing saw Lin Chen nod, and there was a look of helplessness in his eyes. He had already guessed this result, but he wouldn't give up without asking.

In terms of strength, he and Ban Yonghuai were about the same. The reason why his ranking was above Ban Yonghuai was just because he had challenged on Mount Wudao earlier than Ban Yonghuai.

Ban Yonghuai had challenged him twice, and in the end, it ended in a draw because the Innate Power in both their bodies was exhausted.

Ban Yonghuai was the challenging party, so a draw meant Ban Yonghuai's challenge failed.

He couldn't break Ban Yonghuai's defense, but Lin Chen could do it. And if Lin Chen still reserved strength, then he was definitely not Lin Chen's opponent.

Those who could step into the Innate Realm under twenty and were ranked in the top ten of Mount Wudao had their own pride. Xue Xing believed that Lin Chen wouldn't deliberately deceive him.

"Since that's the case, I forfeit."

Xue Xing chose to forfeit and looked at Lin Chen: "I hope Lin Lin Shixiong can succeed in the challenge."

Since he chose to forfeit, Xue Xing's mentality changed. Instead, he hoped that Lin Chen could really reach the top. If Lin Chen could reach the top, his choice to forfeit wouldn't be cowardice or fear of fighting, but rather self-knowledge.

And in this way, he wasn't the only one defeated by Lin Chen. Everyone was defeated by Lin Chen, so no one should mock anyone else.

His failure was painful, but others' success was even harder to accept.

Xue Xing forfeited, his figure disappeared on Mount Wudao, and Lin Chen followed closely behind.

"What's the situation? Xue Xing actually forfeited? Forfeiting in a top-ten battle?"

"What did Xue Xing say to Lin Chen before forfeiting?"

"What did that Lin Chen say to make Xue Xing actively forfeit?"

Those ranked ahead of Lin Chen were cursing in their hearts. They were counting on watching the battle between Xue Xing and Lin Chen to let Lin Chen expose more of his trump cards.

Coming to challenge again two months later, not even waiting for the Canglan Secret Realm, Lin Chen must have something to rely on.

These few people knew this clearly.

They hadn't expected this guy Xue Xing to forfeit directly. Wasn't he afraid of being mocked, or of losing face for the sect?

Mount Wudao steps.

This time, Lin Chen didn't withdraw from Mount Wudao, but chose to continue challenging.

Mount Wudao battle plain.

"Lin Chen, I don't know why Xue Xing forfeited."

The young man's eyes were sharp as an eagle, his body shrouded in a layer of protective aura, obviously prepared for battle, his voice firm:

"But you won't get past me without a fight! Unless I fall completely and lose all power to resist, this battle will never end hastily! Bring out all your strength!"

The man stamped his foot heavily, the ground under his feet cracked, and the energy around his body surged, obviously ready to go.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Xue Xing's active forfeiture had given him an idea.

Or, he could win without a fight.

The premise was that he showed enough strength to deter these people.

"Only forfeit after losing the power to fight?"

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, the golden wings behind him appeared, and his entire body began to expand.

"Please enlighten me!"

As the words fell!

A terrifying aura, unprecedented, suddenly erupted from Lin Chen's body!

Brilliant golden flames rose into the sky like the scorching sun, and the huge golden wings instantly "boomed" and unfolded behind him! Every feather was clearly visible, burning fiercely, emitting a terrifying high temperature that could boil the sea and burn the mountains.

What was even more shocking was that Lin Chen's body transformed into a ten-zhang giant at this moment, like the master of fire in this world.

"What?"

Xu Guanlan on the opposite side saw this scene, his pupils shrinking sharply. A hint of regret appeared in the bottom of his heart. The aura Lin Chen erupted with was too astonishing, far exceeding his expectations.

Outside the light screen, the several young people watching the battle also stared tightly at the light screen.

No probing, no reservation, Lin Chen wanted absolute crushing!

Bang!!

Lin Chen's giant body, pushed by the golden wings, moved so fast that it pulled out a shrill sonic boom! Only a flame afterimage remained in place, and the giant palm burning with monstrous flames had already torn through the air, carrying immense power and terrifying high temperature that could burn the soul, and struck down fiercely!

The speed was so fast that Xu Guanlan didn't even have time to think!

"Roar——! Hold it for me!"

Xu Guanlan's eyes were splitting, all his protective aura and defensive secret techniques were instantly pushed to the limit, turning into several solid energy barriers to protect his front.

Crack! Crack! Crack——!

However, in front of the golden flame giant palm, these protective aura barriers shattered one after another like fragile glazed glass!

The giant palm struck Xu Guanlan with an unstoppable posture!

Pfft!

Xu Guanlan flew backward, blood spraying from his mouth. He only felt an indescribable giant force, mixed with extreme power, terrifying high temperature, and even soul impact, crash into his body, which he couldn't resist at all.

However, Lin Chen's attack hadn't stopped yet. The wings behind him spread, and his figure whistled out again.

Slap!

Striking first, just as Xu Guanlan managed to stand firm, another palm struck.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

All the martial artists watching the battle felt their hearts jump. An Innate martial artist was being slapped by Lin Chen like a sandbag, without any power to fight back.

At this moment, Xu Guanlan's clothes had been completely burned by the flames, and every time he was slapped away, blood sprayed out.

Too miserable!

Just coming down from Mount Wudao, facing the strange looks of the senior and junior brothers around him, and wanting to explain, Xue Xing showed a smile at this moment.

No need to explain.

Xu Guanlan's end had already explained for him.

Forfeiting was the wise choice.

……

In a quiet place, a figure appeared hurriedly in front of the valley.

In the valley, all things were silent, as if there were no living creatures.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, Lin Chen just fought with Xu Guanlan, who is ranked seventh on Mount Wudao, and Xu Guanlan had no power to fight back."

A few breaths later, a cold voice came from the valley: "I know."

……

Mount Wudao plain.

Xu Guanlan lay on the scorched ground, motionless.

The flames on Lin Chen's body disappeared, and he returned to his original appearance. He satisfied Xu Guanlan's request, leaving him without the power to fight.

"As you wish."
