Lin Chen defeated Yu Chuan, and has now taken his place among the Ten Great True Disciples.
This means that Lin Chen is now ranked fifth among the Ten Great True Disciples.
Xiang Hao looked at Lin Chen, his eyes twitching slightly. Although he ranked second among the Ten Great True Disciples, higher than Yu Chuan, he was not completely confident in winning against Lin Chen.
After all, no one knew if Lin Chen still had other tricks up his sleeve.
It is worth noting that Lin Chen’s cultivation is only at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
If Lin Chen had the same level of cultivation as him...
Xiang Hao dared not imagine, because in that case, he would probably be easily crushed by Lin Chen, maybe even killed instantly.
"This guy, he has grown to such a terrifying realm."
"It’s been only five or six years since we last met at the Black Cloud Mountain Range!"
Yan Ruyu looked at Lin Chen in shock.
Yan Ruyu also had a deep understanding of swordsmanship.
When she met Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division in Black Cloud Mountain, he gained a lot of insights into her swordsmanship.
However, now, Lin Chen’s swordsmanship has far surpassed Yan Ruyu.
During the fierce battle between Lin Chen and Yu Chuan, Yan Ruyu had never thought that Lin Chen would win against Yu Chuan.
She only hoped that Lin Chen wouldn’t lose too miserably or get injured.
But now she realized that her concerns were completely unnecessary.
Yan Ruyu suddenly thought of Lin Chen’s previous conversation with Gong Siyuan; his arrogant words might actually be true!
Lin Chen might indeed have the strength, and even if he couldn’t kill his opponent, he at least had the power to protect himself.
At this moment, after defeating Yu Chuan, Lin Chen sheathed his Flying Sword and slowly walked to the seat of the Ten Great True Disciples, sitting down in the fifth chair.
To Lin Chen’s left, Qing Wanrong, Jiang Jiayun, and Lu Min looked at him with mixed feelings.
Especially Qing Wanrong, although she had seen Lin Chen use the Sky-Splitting Bow and Cloud-Piercing Arrow to injure Xue Yuanqing in the Endless Sky Mountain Range, that was with the assistance of a large army’s Killing Formation.
But now, Lin Chen, on his own strength, had defeated Yu Chuan, who was ranked higher than her, and had completely overwhelmed him enough to kill him.
Qing Wanrong recalled how she had once troubled Lin Chen over her brother Qing Qizheng’s affair, but fortunately, she was stopped by Mu Qianqiu. If she had not been stopped then, given her temper, she might have fought Lin Chen to the death, and given his current prowess, she might have truly lost her life.
Qing Wanrong resolved to strictly teach Qing Qizheng a lesson when she returned home, to ensure he did not cause any more trouble.
As for Jiang Jiayun, she now regretted not recognizing Lin Chen’s abilities sooner. With her beauty, perhaps she could have attracted Lin Chen, having such an outstanding man as a partner would have been extremely satisfying.
And Lu Min, he felt relieved at this moment. Fortunately, he did not make a big issue out of Qing Qizheng’s affair or attack Lin Chen, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable, and he might have already been dead.
Following Lin Chen’s challenge and victory over Yu Chuan, the subsequent competitions seemed mundane with no successful challenges.
It wasn’t until Chang Bai took the stage that all the Martial Artists paid attention.
People of the Formation Sect knew that Chang Bai and Lin Chen entered the sect in the same cohort, and their competition has never ceased, always measuring who was superior.
In previous competitions, Lin Chen had always had the upper hand.
Now, with Lin Chen defeating Yu Chuan, Chang Bai’s entrance naturally attracted great anticipation from all the disciples, everyone looking forward to their duel.
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Chang Bai did not choose to challenge Lin Chen but instead chose the fourth-ranked Lu Min, who was stronger than Yu Chuan.
While this choice disappointed the spectators, challenging the fourth-ranked among the Ten Great True Transmissions was still an exciting fight.
Some speculated that Chang Bai did not challenge Lin Chen because he was afraid.
But in fact, by choosing to challenge Lu Min, Chang Bai was proving he was not inferior to Lin Chen. If he could defeat Lu Min, in a way, it would also mean he was stronger than Lin Chen, as his opponent was ranked higher.
However, people did not know that Chang Bai did not directly challenge Lin Chen because the competition had just begun. In the Formation Sect, only the top ten were determined, and Chang Bai did not want to reveal too much of his strength yet.
For Chang Bai, Lin Chen has always been a target that he must defeat or even surpass, but not just yet. Googlᴇ search novelꞁire.net
Chang Bai and Lu Min’s battle was as thrilling as the duel between Lin Chen and Yu Chuan, leaving the surrounding audience in shock.
In the end, Chang Bai won against Lu Min by a slight advantage. Only a few experts could tell that Chang Bai did not use his full strength.
It is to be noted that Lu Min’s cultivation was close to the edge of the Nirvana Realm, much stronger than Yu Chuan at the First Level of the Nirvana Realm. However, Chang Bai defeated him with only the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm cultivation.
Although it was difficult to judge if Chang Bai and Lin Chen were equally matched in cultivation or to assess their talents, just from the current battle strengths, people believed that Lin Chen might not be a match for Chang Bai.
Because the power demonstrated in the battle between Chang Bai and Lu Min was enough to rival a Peak of Nirvana Realm expert.
Lin Chen watched Chang Bai, who won and sat next to him, but felt no disturbance inside. He knew Chang Bai also had incredible opportunities in the Void Continent, but Lin Chen simply regarded Chang Bai as a notable opponent without feeling intimidated.
Perhaps it was because Lin Chen had once killed true Peak of the Nirvana Realm experts, and after confronting true powerhouses like Demon General Hui, First-Rank Demon General Xiu Yi, and Elder Wuse from the Dark Demon Race, he did not feel afraid of a talent not yet fully matured like Chang Bai.
Lin Chen believed that he too would keep getting stronger, not just Chang Bai making progress.
And those spectators who looked forward to continued battles between Chang Bai and Lin Chen ultimately felt disappointed. Neither of them participated in the rest of the competition again.
