Second Round.
"I concede."
Another outer disciple smiled wryly.
Just like that, Lin Chen entered the finals in a daze.
In the final, he faced Jiang Chengkun.
"I know you are strong, and I am no match for you, but I still want to compete!"
Jiang Chengkun's eyes were sharp, and he clenched his fists.
After the match, Yan Lin gave everyone a healing elixir.
Jiang Chengkun quickly recovered to his peak.
"Please!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and extended a hand.
Jiang Chengkun narrowed his eyes. He had thought that the other party would be arrogant—after all, geniuses were always like this!
But Lin Chen was gentle in his voice and smile.
It was like a refreshing breeze!
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Chengkun cast all his thoughts aside and looked calmly.
He wanted to understand the gap between him and the genius through this battle.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Chengkun shouted, the spiritual energy around his body surging.
He and the Scorpion-tailed Tiger attacked Lin Chen from both sides.
Lin Chen's childish face suddenly became sharp. The moment Jiang Chengkun's spiritual energy was about to hit him, he clenched his fingers and raised his hand to punch Jiang Chengkun!
"Bang!"
All the spiritual energy that Jiang Chengkun had gathered was instantly defeated.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and was knocked away.
On the other side, the Scorpion-tailed Tiger leaped into the air. As he turned his head to look for Lin Chen, a slender hand pressed down on his head.
There was no force at all, but the Scorpion-tailed Tiger suddenly became tense.
If Lin Chen imbued the slightest bit of energy into this palm, the Scorpion-tailed Tiger's head would probably be shattered in a flash.
At this point, the battle was over!
Lin Chen showed mercy.
Jiang Chengkun on the ground wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a wry smile.
The gap was indeed too large.
"Brother Lin, I submit."
Jiang Chengkun stood up, bowed to Lin Chen, and clasped his fists.
From start to finish, he had never summoned his Void Beast to help him fight!
When Lin Chen had fought against Zhao Peng in the inner sect that day, his Void Beast Tuntun had also shown great strength.
If he used his Void Beast, his combat strength would probably be even greater.
"This concludes the sect competition."
Yan Lin sighed, an expression of "as expected" on his face.
Other than Lin Chen, who else could be first?
The final result was that the top three would enter the inner sect.
And Lin Chen took all the rewards.
"Congratulations, Lin Chen!"
Xu Kun smiled and said, "From now on, you are an inner sect disciple... No, although you live in the outer sect, your treatment and cultivation resources will be the same as an inner sect disciple. Now that it's official, you can finally relax."
Lin Chen nodded slightly.
He glanced around at the audience, and many disciples showed awe when they looked at him.
It seemed like... his reputation was getting worse and worse?
Well, he didn't care.
Just don't bother him.
"It's a pity my sister didn't come."
Lin Chen sighed, as if he had just remembered something.
Originally, Lin Ning'er had planned to come today.
But Su Yuwei said that it was the most critical day for her to get rid of the cold poison, and that she should not be exposed to the wind.
In desperation, Lin Ning'er stayed in her room and prayed for Lin Chen.
"This is the Earth Spirit Pill..."
"These are the two fourth-level spirit patterns that the young lady gave you."
Yan Lin handed the rewards to Lin Chen, "These are the first and second spirit patterns that she carved after she became a fourth-level spirit pattern master. One is the Iron Skin Pattern, and the other is the Fireproof Pattern. Congratulations!"
"Thank you."
Lin Chen put them into his ring.
Yan Lin saw this and said nothing for a long time.
He had given the gift with great meaning, but...
Lin Chen had just put them away without a second glance?
These young people nowadays...
After the awards ceremony, Yan Lin looked at Jiang Chengkun and said, "After you enter the inner sect, you will become my disciple!"
Jiang Chengkun was overjoyed, and nodded repeatedly, "This disciple greets master!"
Yan Lin had a great reputation in the inner sect.
And his combat strength was even higher than Elder Zhao's!
It was Jiang Chengkun's fortune to be able to become his disciple.
Originally, Yan Lin had wanted to take in the third-place disciple, but he had been taken by an inner sect elder earlier, so he could only give up.
As for Lin Chen, Yan Lin knew that it was useless to even ask.
In the entire sect, who didn't know that he belonged to the young lady?
…
…
"Big sis, I won first place, and we can move to the inner sect!"
Lin Chen happily returned to the courtyard. But as soon as he stepped inside, a violent aura suddenly erupted.
He frowned and released his aura, dispelling it.
"Sis?"
Lin Chen quickened his pace, nervousness flashing in his eyes.
"Why are you so nervous? This is a sign that your sister's Sword Bones are about to awaken."
In the pavilion, Su Yuwei sat lazily, raising the wine bottle in her hand, "Come, have a drink with me."
"I don't know how to drink."
Lin Chen shook his head.
His straightforward rejection almost made Su Yuwei choke on her drink.
"The Sword Bones, once awakened, are extremely powerful."
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed and he looked firmly into the room.
He was nervous.
If the awakening failed, would his sister be injured?
"The person who poisoned her Sword Bones clearly valued them very much. While invading your sister's body with cold poison to prevent her from awakening the Sword Bones, they also used another force to nurture them. After years of nourishment, these Sword Bones have become... extremely powerful!"
Su Yuwei put down the wine bottle, her beautiful eyes calm as she said, "Today, your sister is fusing her Sword Bones. With the power of the Sword Bones themselves, she will be able to advance directly to the Earth Spirit Realm!"
"She will enter the Earth Spirit Realm directly?"
Lin Chen couldn't help being surprised.
This speed was terrifying!
"What's the fuss? If your sister hadn't been plotted against, and had simply cultivated with her Sword Bones over the years, she would have entered the Heavenly Spirit Realm long ago. She wouldn't have been forced to pass on the title of the Five Nations' number one genius to me."
Su Yuwei's expression remained the same.
"The Sword Bones are truly powerful!"
Lin Chen sighed.
"Of course they are powerful! A genius among geniuses! If they weren't strong, how could they attract the attention of those powerful people?"
Su Yuwei rolled her eyes.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a sword-like wind burst out of the house!
It was extremely cold!
The entire house was instantly shattered, and dust flew into the sky.
Countless Sword Intents erupted and surged in all directions.
Boom!
Lin Chen was forced back several steps by the fierce sword energy that came at him.
"So strong, so strong!"
Tuntun was also stunned, "Fusion of the Sword Bones, comprehension of Sword Intent, entry into the Earth Spirit Realm, and becoming a Sword Cultivator... You finally call this genius! Boy, your talent is really nothing compared to your sister's. If you hadn't had the fortune of having me as your Void Beast, you would have been too weak for words!"
For once, Lin Chen didn't argue.
At this moment, he was filled with warmth, and was simply happy for his sister!
