Chapter 519: Du Du Xiaofeng, You Are Being Petty

~10 min read 1,984 words

Some people take in disciples, cultivating them with painstaking effort, yet the disciples fail to become talented.

Some people take in disciples, letting them grow freely, yet the disciples' strength soars.

When the Martial Way Seal announced that Lin Chen was breaking into the Heaven-Reaching Tower at the third stage of the Innate Realm, the entire Canglan Sect was invigorated.

A super sect must have factions; this is unavoidable.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are conflicts of interest, unless everyone is a sage.

But the current Canglan Sect, including the Canglan Domain, was incomparably united because everyone had a common external enemy: the Bahuang Sect and the martial artists of the Bahuang Domain.

Under normal circumstances, a martial artist at the third stage of the Innate Realm wouldn't count for much in the Canglan Sect, but at this moment, the two sects were at war, and Lin Chen was the sect's super heaven-gifted genius, not to mention defeating Sima Kong of the Bahuang Sect twice, and now breaking through to the third stage of the Innate Realm so quickly.

This news was a huge boost to the morale of all martial artists in the Canglan Domain.

Canglan Sect Main Hall.

All the elders still in the sect were present, with Ji Ji Cangtian sitting at the head.

"Sect Master, Lin Chen breaking through to the third stage of the Innate Realm is indeed worth being happy about, but he is too anxious to break into the Heaven-Reaching Tower. I'm afraid there will be quite a few people who will take the opportunity to challenge him."

Du Du Xiaofeng expressed the worry in his heart. Although the other elders in the hall also heard the pride in Du Du Xiaofeng's words, looks of worry also appeared on their faces.

Du Du Xiaofeng's words were not without reason.

The fear was that Lin Chen felt that with his identity as a heaven-gifted disciple of the Canglan Sect, others wouldn't challenge him. If Lin Chen chose to break into the Heaven-Reaching Tower because he relied on his identity, then there would really be danger.

"What about our sect's disciples at the third stage of the Innate Realm? Let them all head to the Heaven-Reaching Tower to protect Lin Chen."

"It's useless. As long as someone wants to challenge in the Heaven-Reaching Tower, no one can stop it."

"Then tell others through the disciples that if anyone dares to challenge Lin Chen, they will be enemies with our Canglan Sect."

An elder said sternly, but as soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent instantly. Even Du Du Xiaofeng's mouth twitched. He had originally thought about whether this kind of deterrence was feasible, but finally gave up because he felt the feasibility was not high.

Those who could enter the Heaven-Reaching Tower and were qualified to challenge Lin Chen were mostly disciples of major super sects.

The Imperial Court launched the Heaven-Reaching Tower and allowed others to challenge, which was to open up fair competition among various sects, just like Martial Way Mountain, without any background to speak of. Whoever had strong strength would have a higher ranking.

If their Canglan Sect threatened like this today, then other sects could do the same tomorrow, and this challenge would exist in name only. The most critical point was that the Canglan Sect was not in the right in this matter, and other sects wouldn't necessarily give this face.

The Canglan Sect was currently at war with the Bahuang Sect and the Yanluo Hall, so it was not appropriate to provoke strong enemies again.

"Forget it. Let the disciples see the situation at the Heaven-Reaching Tower first."

The elder who proposed the suggestion also realized that his suggestion couldn't be implemented, and finally had to take a step back.

Heaven-Reaching Tower.

When Lin Chen's figure appeared on the circular altar, exclamations of surprise rose one after another on the square.

Those who came in this time were all martial artists at the third stage of the Innate Realm, who were the main force walking in the Yan Imperial Dynasty. These people were all paying attention to the battle for the top of Martial Way Mountain back then, as well as the battle between Lin Chen and Sima Kong not long ago. Now, seeing this figure that had appeared on Martial Way Mountain several times standing in front of them again, even though they had been informed in advance, they still had unbelievable shock.

"Lin Lin Shidi!"

"It really is Lin Lin Shidi!"

On the square, quite a few people shouted soon, which also attracted the attention of other martial artists on the scene.

Lin Chen looked at these martial artists calling him and also showed a smile on his face. These were all senior brothers of the sect. Although he wasn't familiar with them, he had met them in the sect.

"Junior brother greets all senior brothers."

The senior brothers of the Canglan Sect stood at the bottom of the circular altar with great tacit understanding, patrolling other martial artists on the square. This was a way to tell all martial artists on the scene that challenging Lin Chen meant being enemies with the Canglan Sect, at least this grudge was settled.

Quite a few martial artists on the scene who originally had ideas were indeed intimidated when they saw these Canglan Sect disciples standing in front of the circular altar.

They were mainly worried that even if they defeated Lin Chen, they would have to face challenges from others. If they lost at that time, they would have offended Lin Chen and the Canglan Sect on one side, and not obtained the qualification to challenge the Heaven-Reaching Tower on the other, which would be losing both the wife and the army.

Looking at the senior brothers of the sect protecting him, Lin Chen was also deeply moved.

It's a pity that not everyone would be intimidated like this.

"I want to challenge Lin Chen!"

On the square, a middle-aged man shouted, not caring at all about the sharp eyes of the Canglan Sect martial artists.

"Hmph, this Heaven-Reaching Tower is the same as Martial Way Mountain, relying on strength rather than background. Furthermore, in terms of background, who among those present is worse than your Canglan Sect? If you don't have this strength, just obediently hand over the qualification."

The middle-aged man's words were full of sarcasm. A senior brother of the Canglan Sect below the circular altar transmitted his voice to Lin Chen: "Lin Lin Shidi, this person is Xia Xia Anbo of the Bahuang Sect."

So it was a martial artist from the Bahuang Sect, then it was no wonder.

Lin Chen had a cold sneer on the corner of his mouth. His biggest obstacle to breaking into the Heaven-Reaching Tower was the Bahuang Sect. He had mental preparation for this before choosing to break into the tower.

Under the gaze of everyone on the scene, the light pillar of the circular altar shone brightly, and Xia Xia Anbo's figure had already leaped to the top of the altar, his aura at the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm pressing directly toward Lin Chen.

Without any pleasantries, Xia Xia Anbo slapped out, and there was a sound of thunder in the palm wind.

"Lin Lin Shidi, this is the Bahuang Sect's Thunder Prison Suppressing Demon Art, extremely fierce. Junior brother, do not take it head-on."

With the reminder from the senior brother of the Canglan Sect in his ear, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. The area of the circular altar was not large, which was relatively disadvantageous for some martial artists who were good at movement techniques, and this Xia Xia Anbo used this art because he saw this point, not giving him a chance to dodge.

However, Lin Chen didn't think about dodging at all. As his sleeves flicked, his right hand pointed out.

Canglan Finger!

The huge Canglan Finger descended from the sky, covering the entire circular altar in shadow. As for the original roaring thunder, it vanished the moment the giant finger appeared.

The Canglan Finger didn't just have damage at the moment it fell; the moment it formed, it had terrifying pressure. Those with slightly weaker strength would feel palpitations and fear before the giant finger even fell, having no intention of fighting.

"Break for me!"

Xia Xia Anbo felt the giant finger above, roared, and thunder flashed between his palms. As his palms danced, thunder circled around his body, like a thunder prison descending, from which several bolts of thunder whistled toward the giant finger above.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating one's capabilities."

Lin Chen's right hand, which had just fallen, pressed down fiercely. The giant finger fell suddenly, and endless Canglan energy erupted, like a waterfall pouring down from high altitude. Those few bolts of thunder were instantly annihilated and dissipated.

Boom!

The giant finger fell, and the entire circular altar was shrouded in Canglan energy.

On the scene, all martial artists were also staring closely at the circular altar, and soon they knew the result.

When the Canglan energy dissipated, Xia Xia Anbo flew backward from the circular altar, smashed into the stone pillar of the square, his body charred and twitching in the smoke and dust, and finally his figure dissipated directly in the square.

Hiss!

Many martial artists at the third stage of the Innate Realm on the scene looked at Lin Chen, who stood on the circular altar with his clothes unstained by dust, and had thick shock in their eyes.

Xia Xia Anbo was not just entering the third stage of the Innate Realm. The strength just erupted was at least the late stage of the third stage of the Innate Realm, but he couldn't even take one move in Lin Chen's hands.

Lin Chen's strength had actually reached the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm!

Since the Imperial Court launched the Heaven-Reaching Tower, everyone knew that those who dared to break into the tower were at the peak of their own realm. Only by being at the peak of their own realm could they hold onto the qualification to break into the tower.

It was just because Lin Chen's realm was clear to everyone before this, that he had just stepped into the second stage of the Innate Realm. Only less than a year had passed. If they said that Lin Chen had reached the peak of the third stage of the Innate Realm, they really found it hard to accept.

Self-esteem made them unwilling to think in this direction. Therefore, many people in their hearts were more willing to believe that Lin Chen dared to come to break into the tower because he wanted to use the prestige of the Canglan Sect and his own martial arts potential to make others intimidated and not challenge him.

But now, Xia Xia Anbo's miserable defeat confirmed the guess they were least willing to believe.

Below the circular altar, the martial artists of the Canglan Sect were also stunned. After one of them reacted, his figure flashed and disappeared into the square. He wanted to inform other people in the sect of this news.

"Lin Lin Shidi won!"

Canglan Sect, Xu Xia retreated from Martial Way Mountain, looked at the other senior and junior brothers waiting for the news in front of him, and roared out without any hesitation.

These senior and junior brothers, because they were not at the third stage of the Innate Realm and hadn't won first place on Martial Way Mountain, couldn't enter the Heaven-Reaching Tower square to watch.

"Won, what won?"

"Could it be that someone challenged Lin Lin Shidi? Lin Lin Shidi Xu, speak clearly?"

"Who challenged Lin Lin Shidi?" ===== CHAPTER 520 =====
