Chapter 537

In the square.

The atmosphere was strangely tense.

The young members of the Entropy Clan all glared at Lin Chen; over the years, other external geniuses had come, but none had ever dared to be as arrogant as Lin Chen.

“Arrogant!”

“A foreigner dares to act so boldly on Entropy Clan land!”

Qian Shan’s face flushed crimson with fury and shame, nearly dripping blood.

As one of the clan’s recognized peak Peak of the First Realm, Lin Chen’s words were not only a personal insult to him but a blatant contempt toward the entire younger generation of the Entropy Clan.

“Today, I, Qian Shan, will test your abilities—if you can defeat me, then you may speak freely!”

Qian Shan let out a low roar, clouds of qi surging around him, his powerful First Realm fluid racing through his meridians and coalescing into intricate cloud patterns on his skin, his aura skyrocketing.

He stepped forward, the ground rumbling with a dull thud, his body shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow, tearing through the air with a piercing whistle, straight toward Lin Chen.

This strike carried his full force fueled by rage—his palm wind sharp and fierce, infused with the Entropy Clan’s unique spatial compression, enough to instantly cripple an ordinary warrior of the same realm.

Facing this devastating, mountain-splitting blow, Lin Chen merely stood calmly in place, not even adopting a special stance—until Qian Shan’s palm was only three feet away…

Lin Chen lifted his gaze.

In his eyes, a single point of deep blue light, like frozen ice in a dark abyss, flared suddenly!

“Shhh—!”

A thread-thin, blindingly fast, exquisitely condensed beam of deep blue light shot from Lin Chen’s third eye!

Canglan Eye!

Before the stunned, horrified gaze of the Entropy Clan youths, the blue beam pierced through every cloud pattern and massive palm force gathered in Qian Shan’s palm, slicing through like a hot knife through butter, striking precisely at Qian Shan’s right shoulder.

Time seemed to freeze.

Qian Shan’s furious forward momentum did not stop, but his right hand hung limp, the palm wind halting a foot away from Lin Chen, merely rustling Lin Chen’s sleeves.

Qian Shan’s eyes lost all luster, filled only with disbelief and despair.

Lin Chen’s strike had pierced through his right shoulder—it could just as easily have pierced his chest, his forehead.

For a First Realm warrior, bodily injury still allowed combat readiness, but not the forehead or chest—if this had been a true life-or-death battle, he would already be dead.

Though unwilling to accept it, as an Entropy Clan genius, Qian Shan had his pride; though he still had strength left, even stronger techniques unspent, defeat was defeat.

“I’ve lost.”

Qian Shan’s low words made every Entropy Clan youth widen their eyes.

One strike—only one strike—and Qian Shan had been defeated.

Now, looking again at Lin Chen, still standing with hands behind his back, unnervingly calm, the Entropy Clan youths’ earlier shouts of anger and doubt were replaced by a chilling dread.

Too strong!

“I said—let you all attack together.”

Lin Chen spoke calmly; the Entropy Clan youths, who had just been stunned, felt their smoldering rage ignite anew.

Just because we can’t beat you one-on-one doesn’t mean we can’t beat you together!

In other clans, teamwork might not enhance combat power, but they were the Entropy Clan—the most skilled in arrays—and they possessed their own unique combined technique.

“Attack together!”

“Make him pay for insulting our clan!”

The Entropy Clan’s First Realm youths exchanged glances, then all stepped forward—including Qian Lang—surrounding Lin Chen, each standing at precise positions that aligned with the array’s formation.

The aura of over a dozen warriors swelled, locking their spiritual senses onto Lin Chen; any ordinary person would have their spirit and movement crippled under such a barrage of First Realm spiritual pressure.

Yet Lin Chen still stood with hands behind his back, expression unchanged.

“Attack!”

One Entropy Clan First Realm warrior shouted, and instantly, the youths surrounding Lin Chen struck—fists, palm strikes, finger thrusts, faint array patterns—all erupted like a storm from every direction, slamming into the lone figure at the square’s center.

“This Lin Chen is too arrogant—even a First Realm Fourth Stage master would have to dodge our combined assault.”

Other Entropy Clan youths nearby spoke, smiling, waiting to see Lin Chen fall.

Since this was only a sparring match, no weapons were used—but against Lin Chen alone, it was more than enough.

In the midst of the assault, with the array’s energy waves forming, Lin Chen was slightly surprised; no wonder the Entropy Clan was famed as the most skilled in arrays—these dozen warriors’ combined attack didn’t waste energy between them but amplified it into true array synergy.

This time, Lin Chen didn’t wait for all attacks to land—he activated the Immortal Scripture the moment they struck, surging forward toward one Entropy Clan youth directly ahead.

No evasion—pure, unyielding collision!

Seeing Lin Chen choose direct confrontation, the onlookers smiled; Lin Chen was surely doomed now.

But their smiles froze instantly—flames had appeared around Lin Chen, engulfing him and devouring the attacks of the others.

The Entropy Clan youth directly in front felt searing heat blast toward him; the unique power of the First Realm fire turned his face pale, and he instinctively stepped back.

That single step back shattered the entire combined array—everyone heard a dragon’s roar erupt from Lin Chen’s body.

Boom!

Four fire dragons surged skyward, terrifying waves of flame flipping every attacking Entropy Clan youth off their feet.

One after another, they staggered backward… eyes wide with confusion and terror.

Their combined array—just like that—broken!

All movement froze. Should they keep attacking?

Their proud cloud-pattern combined array had crumbled before Lin Chen like paper!

Now, Lin Chen stood calmly at the square’s center, robes fluttering, aura steady.
