Chapter 414

Daliang, Lingxiao City, Canglan Martial Academy...

All the watching disciples were boiling with excitement. Several outer sect disciples from the Donghai Divine Palace who were responsible for the broadcast were also extremely excited.

With only one last battle remaining, Lin Chen was about to set a brand-new record of one hundred thousand consecutive wins to reach the summit of Martial Way Mountain.

Although they were not martial artists of Daliang, nor were they disciples of the Canglan Sect, they had stayed in Daliang for a few days after all, so naturally, their hearts were with Lin Chen.

……

Linhu Village.

All the villagers were also incomparably excited. Perhaps they did not know what reaching the summit of Martial Way Mountain meant, because it was too far away from them.

Even if these villagers had heard about it from the mouths of martial artist lords, they could not understand it; they were simply incomparably excited for Lin Chen's victory.

Lin Fu and Lin Mu held their hands tightly. Their son had won, but what made them even happier was that their son had not been injured.

"Zhao'er, did you see? Your uncle won."

Chen Ting shook her daughter's arms. The little girl had been frightened by the cheers of the crowd, and her little face looked somewhat dazed, but after hearing her mother's words, she also began to giggle.

"Un... Un-cle won..."

……

……

Canglan Sect.

Lin Chen came down from Martial Way Mountain and saw the courtyard in silence. He smiled and then looked toward his master: "Master, your disciple didn't lose face for you, did he?"

"Hahaha!"

Du Xiaofeng burst into hearty laughter: "You have given me a great surprise."

Du Xiaofeng had thought his disciple would win, but he hadn't thought he would win so easily. This was a complete crushing of Ceng Xi in terms of spiritual sense attacks.

A disciple of the Canglan Sect crushing the Qianji Sect in spiritual sense attacks—he could imagine how depressed the elders of the Qianji Sect would be after learning of this.

"Junior Shidi, you truly shock me, Senior Shixiong."

Chai Daoqi stepped forward and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder. What kind of disciple had his master taken in? This was simply too fierce.

"You have just stepped into the Innate Realm, yet you have such strength; you are not a bit inferior to those who have stayed in the first stage of the Innate Realm for several years."

Chai Daoqi was not exaggerating. He knew the situation of those first-stage Innate disciples in the sect. As of now, except for a few disciples who had already reached the peak of the Qi-Transformation Realm, the others might not necessarily have a chance of winning against Junior Shidi.

It was not about how strong Junior Shidi's Wujin Divine Phase Art and Canglan Finger were; it was mainly about spiritual sense.

It is easy to raise one's stage, but difficult to increase spiritual sense.

Do the Innate disciples of the Canglan Sect lack martial way cultivation resources?

If they want to quickly improve their strength in a short time, then naturally they lack them. The sect cannot supply them without limit; to get more resources, they can only rely on completing sect missions or going out to travel and obtain them themselves.

If they take it slowly, relying on the resources given by the sect and searching for them themselves, at least before the third stage of the Innate Realm, there will be no shortage of resources. Like them, those who travel out are just wanting to break through faster.

But after reaching the Innate Realm, the most difficult thing is the growth of spiritual sense. Any resource in the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao that can improve spiritual sense is an extremely precious treasure. Even for direct disciples of elders like them, it is impossible to be satisfied by relying on resources given by the sect or their masters.

This is also the reason why he and the second senior brother chose to travel out—to find methods and treasures to improve spiritual sense.

Junior Shidi's spiritual sense is comparable to the late stage of the Qi-Transformation Realm; now he only needs to practice step by step, and there will be no problem breaking through to the second stage of the Innate Realm.

……

"Junior Shidi, you defeated Ceng Xi. Now there is only the last battle left, and this battle will also be the most difficult. The opponent you have to face has been the number one on Martial Way Mountain for a full ten months."

Liang Hanyang began to introduce the last opponent to Lin Chen, and Seeing Qiao Yuan, who was on the side, also took over the conversation: "Sima Kong is very strong. He reached the number one spot two months earlier than Ceng Xi. Ceng Xi must have challenged Sima Kong."

Seeing Qiao Yuan had originally thought about conducting a ranking challenge on Martial Way Mountain after stepping into the Innate Realm, so he had specifically paid attention to the situation of the top thirty.

Sima Kong!

This name was also extremely profound to Lin Chen, because this name looked like the kind of name exclusive to a heaven-gifted genius.

If one were not a heaven-gifted genius, one could not suppress such a name.

"Master, why can't this disciple see Sima Kong's sect?"

After defeating Ceng Xi, Lin Chen saw Sima Kong's information, but only Sima Kong's name was displayed on Martial Way Mountain; no sect appeared.

"Sima Kong comes from the Sima family. The Sima family has existed in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao for nearly ten thousand years. Their family only has some gaps in overall strength compared to us sects. In terms of top-tier combat power, the Sima family also has Myriad Phenomenon powerhouses."

Du Xiaofeng spoke slowly. In the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, there are a few special families whose strength is only slightly inferior to these super sects.

"This Sima Kong has not joined a sect because he is waiting for a better price. Many sects want to accept Sima Kong as a disciple, but the Sima family is just not satisfied with the treatment and conditions offered."

"However, if Sima Kong defeats you this time, I'm afraid some sects will not be able to sit still and will definitely agree to the conditions put forward by the Sima family."

Hearing his master's words, Lin Chen's eyes flickered. He understood his master's meaning.

Sima Kong's talent is there, waiting for various sects to offer conditions. But facing the conditions offered by various sects, the Sima family is not satisfied. Now that he has started a one-hundred-thousand-win streak, it has already caused a sensation in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao. If he loses to Sima Kong, it will raise Sima Kong's value. "Your challenge to Sima Kong this time should be the last challenge Sima Kong experiences on Martial Way Mountain. After you, it is impossible for anyone to launch a challenge against Sima Kong in these few months. Sima Kong will sit firmly in the number one spot until he leaves Martial Way Mountain at the age of twenty, and this means he can obtain the special reward of Martial Way Mountain."

A special reward?

Lin Chen's pupils shrank. He thought of the destiny reward the Sect Master had mentioned to him before.

Reaching the summit and remaining number one until leaving Martial Way Mountain at the age of twenty allows one to obtain a destiny reward.

"So, it's not that the conditions offered by Sima Kong are too high, but that all the sects are watching and waiting, wanting to wait until Sima Kong holds this number one spot before coming to offer conditions."

"That's right. Holding the number one spot and holding the number one spot—that is completely different."

Du Xiaofeng nodded meaningfully: "You launched this one-hundred-thousand-win streak challenge this time. Everyone under the age of twenty in the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao who is confident in their own strength and hasn't been on Martial Way Mountain has come out to block you. This means there won't be anyone else afterward. Therefore, this battle between you and Sima Kong determines the ownership of the number one spot for this generation on Martial Way Mountain."

"Looking at it this way, this disciple's choice to start the win-streak challenge actually helped Sima Kong."

Lin Chen smiled. As long as Sima Kong defeats him, the major sects don't have to worry about Sima Kong being snatched of the number one spot by someone else in these last few months.

For Sima Kong, having a sect offer conditions that meet his requirements in advance can also accelerate his cultivation progress. It goes without saying that the conditions offered by Sima Kong—or rather, the Sima family—would make even super sects feel the pinch.

"This disciple will challenge Sima Kong in three days."

Lin Chen made his decision. He would use these three days to redeem more points from Martial Way Mountain to increase his strength.

Once the points are redeemed, he will launch a challenge against Sima Kong.

After several settlements of the panel, Lin Chen also grasped some patterns: the better the performance, the better the new title after settlement.

This is also why he challenged them all in one go.

……

……

Sima City.

A city named after the Sima surname.

Sixty percent of the entire city are people of the Sima clan, and the remaining forty percent also have inextricable relationships with the Sima family.

The Sima family has existed in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao for ten thousand years; their foundation is not weaker than those first-rate sects. The only flaw is that the number of clansmen cannot compare to those sects.

Sima ancestral residence backyard.

"Fourth Brother!"

Several young men pushed the door and walked into the courtyard. A young man walked out of the house in the courtyard. His face was as cold as carved cold jade, his nose bridge was high, and his jawline was as sharp as a blade.

"Fourth Brother, did you watch the battle between Lin Chen and Ceng Xi just now?"

Facing the inquiries of several older brothers, Sima Kong shook his head: "I have not watched it."

"You didn't watch it?"

Sima Kong smiled domineeringly: "That Ceng Xi challenged me twice, and both times he was defeated by me. If this Lin Chen can't even beat Ceng Xi, there's naturally no need to watch the battle. Even if he defeated Ceng Xi, I have no fear."

Hearing this, several young clansmen of the Sima family also showed smiles. As expected of Fourth Brother, his words are just this domineering, and he is worthy of being the most outstanding genius of our Sima family in the last five hundred years.

Defeated by Ceng Xi, no need to watch.

Defeated Ceng Xi, also no fear.

"Fourth Brother, this battle between Lin Chen and Ceng Xi was a pure contest of spiritual sense, and in the end, Ceng Xi lost."

One of them still couldn't help but offer a reminder. If Lin Chen had won a miserable victory, they naturally wouldn't need to worry, but Lin Chen's battle with Ceng Xi was won just by crushing Ceng Xi with spiritual sense.

Ceng Xi's strongest point is spiritual sense, yet Lin Chen defeated Ceng Xi with spiritual sense. This indicates that Lin Chen still has trump cards.

"Defeated Ceng Xi with spiritual sense?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Sima Kong's face: "In that case, this Lin Chen has actually aroused some of my interest. If he were too weak, it would truly be uninteresting."

As the number one on Martial Way Mountain, having held the spot for ten months, Sima Kong has sufficient confidence.

Ceng Xi challenged him twice, and he defeated Ceng Xi while still not using his full strength.

"Looking at it this way, Fourth Brother should instead thank this Lin Chen. With Lin Chen challenging like this, those sects no longer have worries and will definitely agree to the conditions put forward by the clan. Fourth Brother, just decide which sect you want to join by then."

"It's a pity that the Canglan Sect will no longer offer conditions to Fourth Brother; otherwise, if Fourth Brother were to join the Canglan Sect, I'm afraid the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao would be shocked."

Hearing the words of his older brothers, Sima Kong also laughed. Since he defeated that Lin Chen, the Canglan Sect certainly won't offer him conditions anymore. Even a super sect cannot afford to cultivate two super geniuses.

Unless the Canglan Sect abandons Lin Chen, but if the Canglan Sect really wants to do that, I'm afraid it will cause a riot among the disciples.
