At that moment, the two people standing at the door of the cultivation room were none other than Fang Xiaoya, who had been defeated by Lin Chen and humiliated in front of everyone a while ago.
The other man was Gong Ziting, Fang Xiaoya’s beau within the Inner Sect.
"It’s him, we’ve finally caught him. Don’t think you can hide from me just because you’ve retreated to a First-Class Cultivation Room."
"Brother Ting, it’s this guy who bullied me. You have to take revenge for me. This guy, he... he..."
Fang Xiaoya pointed at Lin Chen and suddenly burst into loud sobs.
Of course, the crying was fake, a deliberate act for Gong Ziting to see.
Fang Xiaoya had recently inquired within the Inner Sect and learned that after Lin Chen had "bullied" her in the Second-Class Cultivation Room, he had moved to a First-Class Cultivation Room.
In Fang Xiaoya’s view, Lin Chen would rather pay more Contribution Value for a First-Class Cultivation Room than dare to go to the Second-Class one, surely because he was scared of encountering her, fearful of her revenge.
However, Fang Xiaoya had no shortage of suitors within the Inner Sect, and after some inquiries about Lin Chen’s whereabouts, she had indeed found him.
But those suitors had not told her about Lin Chen’s current strength...
"Kid, for bullying my little sister Xiaoya, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, earning little sister Xiaoya’s forgiveness, I might consider sparing you from a beating. Otherwise, today I will make sure you leave this place carried out by others," Gong Ziting said, his gaze cold as it fell upon Lin Chen.
Gong Ziting had just returned from outside the Formation Sect, and in the meantime, Fang Xiaoya had been busy tracking down Lin Chen’s whereabouts, so neither of them had heard of Lin Chen’s other exploits.
They were both unaware of Lin Chen’s mighty record of battles in the Formation Sect.
Otherwise, Gong Ziting might not have been as confident as he was now.
"She was bullied by me?"
"Did you ever ask what she had done?" Lin Chen said, his gaze falling upon Gong Ziting, speaking nonchalantly and dismissively.
"Hmph, no matter the reason, if you dare to bully my little sister Xiaoya, you’re at fault."
"Today you must kneel and apologize, or else I’ll break your legs and feet, forcing you to kneel until you’ve apologized to my little sister Xiaoya," Gong Ziting said coldly as he looked at Lin Chen.
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s gaze towards Gong Ziting suddenly turned icy. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel_fіre.net
"Gong Ziting here must have a screw loose in his head to dare provoke Lin Chen ."
"That woman Fang Xiaoya is nothing but trouble. Maybe you don’t know, but in the Second-Class Cultivation Room, she actually tried to snatch Lin Chen’s room. Lin Chen taught her a lesson, and it seems like she’s brought her beau Gong Ziting for revenge."
"Revenge? Haha, I really don’t know what gave them the confidence to keep troubling Lin Chen again and again."
The surrounding Martial Artists all focused their attention on Gong Ziting, with everyone wearing a look of anticipation for the ensuing spectacle.
Gong Ziting naturally heard some of the surrounding conversations, and his face couldn’t help but take on an unpleasant expression.
Especially when Gong Ziting’s gaze fell upon Lin Chen, who appeared completely relaxed and nonchalant, as if he didn’t take Gong Ziting seriously at all.
Could it be that Lin Chen’s combat power was extremely strong? Or could it be that he was a relative of a grand elder from the Formation Sect, making everyone so fearful of him?
For a moment, Gong Ziting also started to hesitate as he looked at Lin Chen.
"Brother Ting, you have to stand up for me and teach him a lesson. Are you scared, letting him bully me ?"
Fang Xiaoya nestled in Gong Ziting’s embrace, softly sobbing.
Provoked by Fang Xiaoya’s act, a certain hormone inside Gong Ziting surged, and he could no longer repress his anger at Lin Chen.
"Kid, I’m giving you one last chance. Kneel down and apologize to little sister Xiaoya right now, or don’t blame me for being rude," Gong Ziting said, his eyes fixed on Fang Xiaoya.
Lin Chen remained silent, simply giving Gong Ziting a cold glance.
This guy may have cultivated to the Fifth Level of the Reverting Void Realm, but he really wasn’t too bright in the head, being so easily manipulated by a woman.
And upon hearing Gong Ziting’s words, the other Martial Artists around also looked at Gong Ziting with the same kind of expression one would have for a fool.
"Get lost, don’t get in the way," Lin Chen said to Gong Ziting with an icy tone.
"All show and no substance, I want to see what is so special about you."
"Since you won’t kneel and apologize on your own, let me break your legs and feet and force that apology out of you," Gong Ziting said, no longer able to stand Lin Chen’s demeanor and the way everyone around him was looking, he charged out towards Lin Chen.
"Babbling nonsense," Lin Chen said dismissively, swinging a palm at Gong Ziting as he rushed to attack.
Lin Chen’s seemingly casual palm landed on Gong Ziting’s face; the latter hadn’t expected Lin Chen to strike so swiftly. Before Gong Ziting could react, the world spun around him.
Gong Ziting’s body was sent flying by Lin Chen’s palm, crashing into a distant wall. Teeth scattered from Gong Ziting’s mouth, and half of his face was grotesquely misshaped.
