Senior Brother Xu observed Lin Chen's departing figure with a raised brow.
He had seen many talented disciples, all of whom stood out from the rest. However, Lin Chen displayed his talent as if he was afraid others wouldn't notice it.
Someone who had been talented himself, he understood that a true genius should conceal their abilities and bide their time. Lin Chen's maturity was in line with the mindset of a true prodigy.
He had been a dazzling talent, but his reputation and talent had been ruined by cheating in the Wind Sword Sect's Spiritual Road Trial. Now, starting from scratch, he could never meet the high expectations he had once set for himself.
"What a pity," Senior Brother Xu sighed. If Lin Chen had maintained his previous talent, he could have entered the inner sect directly.
After leaving the back mountain, Lin Chen walked towards the outer door. Midway, he noticed an aura following him as he passed a bamboo forest.
He used his perception ability to observe and found that this person was also an outer disciple of the Hundred Treasures Society. He paid more attention to him because this disciple had not bought or sold anything at the Hundred Treasures Meeting but had been looking around.
It seemed that he was looking for someone to attack. In any sect, no matter how strict the rules were, there would always be darkness. There were several thousand outer disciples, and it was impossible to restrain them all.
The outer disciple followed closely behind Lin Chen. When he saw the bamboo forest, he quickened his pace. His movements were light, and his eyes flashed with evil intent.
He pulled out a short knife from his cuff which was extremely sharp and gleamed with a cold light. It was a spiritual weapon!
The appearance of a spiritual weapon indicated his malicious intent. Lin Chen sighed upon seeing this.
As he rounded a corner, Lin Chen's figure suddenly disappeared. The outer disciple let out a surprised gasp, not expecting to lose sight of his target.
He speeded up, wanting to catch up and take action, but he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
"Are you...following me?"
When did Lin Chen appear behind him? His eyes were cold, revealing endless murderous intent. Like a cold and ferocious beast, he only knew killing and was devoid of emotions.
At that moment, the outer disciple felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave! Chills ran down his spine!
Without thinking, the outer disciple swiftly stabbed Lin Chen with the short knife in his hand. The speed was so fast that it even caused an afterimage.
Lin Chen was slightly surprised. Judging from the speed and strength of the outer disciple's attack, he shouldn't be a beast master.
He was a warrior!
In the Jiutian Continent, everyone had a companion fantasy beast, but some people's fantasy beasts were not suitable for fighting. This group of people would work hard to strengthen their bodies to make their single combat power stronger.
Some powerful warriors were no weaker than beast masters!
Warriors covered a wide range of areas. In addition to warriors who focused on physical fitness, there were also some warriors who chose to practice spiritual weapons!
And sword cultivators were the strongest profession among warriors!
The man behind him was a warrior. His speed was extremely fast, and an ordinary beast master might not be able to react to the sudden close approach!
Lin Chen grabbed the outer disciple's wrist, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Are you so intent on killing me?"
The outer disciple's pupils suddenly shrank. He had expected his stab to be decisive, but it was blocked by the opponent. Wasn't Lin Chen a loser who didn't even dare to respond to provocation? How could he have such strength!
Rage flashed in the outer disciple's eyes. If it didn't work once, he would try again!
He twisted his wrist, trying to break away from Lin Chen's restriction, but Lin Chen's palm was extremely strong. He failed to break free the first time, and it was too late to use his strength again.
Lin Chen punched him with his backhand!
The outer disciple was punched away, breaking several bamboos in succession.
"This is impossible. Why are you stronger than me?" The outer disciple stood up, his face covered in blood, his voice hoarse.
"Idiot!"
Lin Chen didn't bother to say anything more. His figure moved like lightning, and his Dragon Coiling Hand struck the outer disciple's forehead!
In an instant, bones cracked!
The outer disciple collapsed without uttering a word.
"Don't waste it." Tun Tun raised his hand, and a tiny tree vine pierced into the outer disciple's body.
After absorbing the outer disciple's essence and blood, Tun Tun picked up the tree vine, rolled up the spiritual weapon short knife, threw it directly into his mouth, and chewed it.
"Hey, a third-grade spiritual weapon. It tastes pretty good," Tun Tun said after eating it.
Lin Chen didn't even look at the body and walked out of the bamboo forest with an expressionless face.
These people wanted to kill him. Don't blame him for being ruthless.
I, Lin Chen, am just an ordinary outer disciple. I want to stay in my sect and practice with peace of mind so that I can complete my revenge as soon as possible. Why do you want to mess with me?
I don't want to kill anyone.
Before returning to the yard, Lin Chen deliberately wiped his hands to cover up the smell of blood.
When he entered the door, he saw Su Yuwei walking out. The two of them looked at each other.
"Little Senior Sister," Lin Chen greeted politely.
Su Yuwei glanced at Lin Chen, her expression still beautiful and lazy. As she passed by, she said lightly, "The smell of blood is too strong. Girls usually have very good noses, you idiot!"
Lin Chen was stunned, and then he quickly found a pond to wash his hands before returning to the courtyard.
"Xiao Chen, you're back," Lin Ning'er said happily, holding a sharp spiritual weapon sword. "Did you gain anything from participating in the Hundred Treasures Meeting this time?"
Although Lin Chen was seventeen years old, Lin Ning'er always took care of him with a gentle attitude. To others, it might seem a little impatient.
But for Lin Chen, since he had lost his parents early, he enjoyed this feeling of being taken care of very much.
"Of course I did. I bought this guy Tun Tun the Beast Yuan Fruit he wanted," Lin Chen said with a smile. "By the way, Sister, what are you doing with this sword all the time? What if you scratch yourself?"
"Su Yuwei gave me this sword. I think she's quite nice, but she doesn't talk much," Lin Ning'er explained. "She said that after I recover from the cold poison, I can practice. I will definitely become a powerful sword cultivator in the future!"
