Ma Chen's explanation was very detailed; Xiao Chen understood the moment he heard it. Now, he somewhat understood the meaning of the old man's words. The so-called "sink in and blend in" should be for him to participate in this competitive game.
Xiao Chen thought for a while, I can accept other people's challenges. However, I will not take the initiative to challenge myself; I do not have the time.
After all, I am no longer in the bottom 500. As long as I hold my ground, I will not have to worry about being kicked out of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion at the end of the year.
It was getting late; Xiao Chen was in a rush to return to Qingyun Peak. He did not continue chatting with Ma Chen. After he took his leave, he immediately left the Hall of Contributions.
The Heaven Viewing Platform was as bustling as when he arrived; it was bustling with activity; there was a huge flow of people.
Just as Xiao Chen stepped out of the Hall of Contributions, he felt a few killing Qi directed at him. He could not help but stop.
On the path leading to the Hall of Contributions, a group of people slowly walked over. They were wearing the uniform of Wanren Peak. Their faces were covered in frost, and their gazes were cold. When they were ten meters in front of Xiao Chen, they stopped.
Xiao Chen saw Yang Qi's figure in the crowd. He looked at Xiao Chen coldly and whispered something into the ear of a person beside him.
That person had a squarish face; he looked very ordinary. However, a bright light flashed in his eyes occasionally, causing people to tremble in fear. He was an Inferior Grade Martial Saint.
"There is indeed a good show to watch. That is Wanren Peak's Quick Saber Master, Lin Feng. He is ranked 106th on the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Strength Ranking List. He is the second ranked core disciple of Wanren Peak."
"He already said that he wanted to help Yang Qi get back at him. Looks like this Ye Chen will not be able to escape easily today."
"It is hard to say. Since Ye Chen could defeat Yang Qi that day, he might be able to defeat Lin Feng today. Furthermore, Ye Chen is now a Superior Grade Martial Grand Master. I think their top core disciple, Luo Kedi, will have to come."
"If what you said was two months ago, it might be possible. However, Lin Feng is now an Inferior Grade Martial Saint. Martial Saint and Martial Grand Master are two completely different realms; the difference is too great."
"Hehe, two months ago, Ye Chen might not have stood a chance. Lin Feng is known as the Number One Swift Saber of Wanren Peak, and his reputation is not undeserved. At most, he would have lost slightly more elegantly. Now, I reckon that Ye Chen would not be able to block even one move."
Lin Feng's appearance had immediately attracted the attention of all the elite disciples who were surrounding the Achievement Palace. They all wanted to see what was going on.
Xiao Chen's facial expression didn't change. His heart was as calm as still water, there wasn't a single ripple in his heart. He was looking at Lin Feng without the slightest fear.
Lin Feng took a few steps forwards and arrived in front of Xiao Chen. He then said in an ice-cold tone: "Two months ago, were you the one who injured many of my disciples?"
"That's right!" Xiao Chen said calmly.
Lin Feng slowly put his right hand on the hilt of his blade. His Qi was unceasingly condensing. He was fixedly staring at Xiao Chen and said: "I will give you a chance to explain yourself. If I am not satisfied with your explanation, I will make them suffer ten times over."
"There's no need to explain when your skills are inferior!" As Xiao Chen spoke, he took a step forward without anyone noticing.
"Kacha!"
When Xiao Chen finished speaking, Lin Feng unsheathed his long blade. A cold light appeared. The crowd could only see a blurry shadow of the blade. They couldn't even see the blade clearly.
"Bang!"
However, something unexpected happened. Originally, they thought that Xiao Chen would be struck by the lightning-fast blade and his blood would flow like a river. He would be defeated immediately.
But the reality was that Lin Feng vomited a mouthful of blood. A crisp sound could be heard from his chest and he fell to the ground. The long blade in his hand swayed and flew out of his hand.
Xiao Chen immediately stomped on Lin Feng, who was struggling to stand up. Then, he stomped heavily on Lin Feng, who was struggling to stand up. There was another crunching sound as a few more of Lin Feng's ribs broke.
Lin Feng groaned in pain. He pointed his finger at Xiao Chen and said unwillingly: "You … …."
The situation had suddenly changed. Lin Feng, who was originally aggressive, was knocked down by Xiao Chen with one punch. The crowd could not even react to what was going on. Everything was too unimaginable.
In their eyes, Lin Feng had obviously attacked first. Furthermore, his speed was so fast that the naked eye could not see it. But why was he the first to be hit?
"Xiao Chen, quickly let go of him. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!" When Yang Qi saw Lin Feng fall to the ground, he became very anxious. He quickly led the other core disciples of the Ten Thousand Fathoms Peak and surrounded Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled indifferently. He hooked his right foot and kicked Lin Feng's body away like a sandbag. Yang Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch Lin Feng. However, the strength behind Lin Feng's kick was far beyond his imagination.
After the people of the Ten Thousand Fathoms Peak caught Lin Feng, Xiao Chen had already used the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Technique and disappeared without a trace.
In a distant pavilion, two young disciples wearing the uniform of the Ten Thousand Fathoms Peak were quietly watching the scene in the Hall of Contributions.
One of them shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Lin lost too unjustly. If he did not give that person a chance to speak and went up, he would have executed the Startling Wind Saber Technique. With his current cultivation level, he would have defeated that person in ten moves."
The other person smiled indifferently, "A loss is a loss. There is nothing much to say. Lin Feng is a proud person. It is good for him to suffer some setbacks. Junior Brother Luo, what do you think of Ye Chen?"
So these two people were the true inheritor of the Ten Thousand Fathoms Peak, Wang Qinian, and the number one core disciple of the Ten Thousand Fathoms Peak, Luo Kedi.
Luo Kedi thought for a while and said, "Rational, calm, and good at grasping his opponent's weakness. The strength of his physical body is extremely terrifying. That punch earlier should have contained four thousand kilograms of force.
"However, the strength of his physical body is mediocre. The higher his cultivation level, the smaller the advantage he has. He is not a match for us, so there is no need to worry too much about it."
Wang Qinian smiled gently and said, "This person is much stronger than we imagined. If you fought with him, you would only have a fifty percent chance of winning if you did not use your best moves."
"Why do you say that?"
Wang Qinian said indifferently, "You only paid attention to the speed and strength of his punch. You did not see anything else. That is where he is brilliant.
"When he answered Lin Feng's question, he took two steps forward. This distance was the furthest the tip of Lin Feng's saber could reach after he drew it.
"Furthermore, he did not attack after he finished speaking. He used sound and speed to create an illusion. It gave people the impression that after he spoke, he and Lin Feng attacked at the same time.
"Actually, he had already attacked when he said the last two words. As for Lin Feng, he only attacked after he heard the sound. Therefore, it is not that Ye Chen is faster than Lin Feng but that he attacked first."
Luo Kedi felt that his mind was in a mess. After thinking carefully for a while, he revealed a doubtful expression and said, "That is impossible. How can the speed of sound be faster than what the naked eye can see?"
"No matter how fast he is, even if he surpasses the speed of sound, it is impossible for him to surpass the speed of light. What the naked eye can see is that he attacked first."
These words were very tongue-twisting and could easily make people dizzy. Actually, it was not difficult to explain. Within a short distance, when a person made a punching motion, the sound and movement would definitely be heard at the same time.
However, if this person's speed surpassed the speed of sound, people would see an extremely strange scene. The opponent would only be able to hear the sound slowly after he was sent flying far away.
The faster you were, the slower it would be for others to hear the sound. However, no matter what, your actions would be seen immediately.
Hence, Luo Kedi felt that Wang Qinian's words were contradictory. How could Xiao Chen go against common sense and let others hear the sound first before seeing the action?
Wang Qinian smiled faintly and said, "The sound you heard might not have come from his mouth?"
"You mean? His voice was transmitted into people's ears using other methods. "Luo Kedi seemed to have understood something as he looked at Wang Qinian in shock.
Wang Qinian nodded and said, "That's right. However, it was not transmitted into the ears but directly into the brain. This is because when he said the last two words, his lips did not move at all.
"This is a kind of use of Soul Energy. I once saw an expert using Soul Energy in the Ancient Desolate Land. That person was even more powerful than Ye Chen. Not only could he imitate sounds, he could even imprint images into the mind of others. "
Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Qingyun Peak:
Xiao Chen looked at the familiar peak and could not help but sigh in his heart. It had only been two months since he last came, but he actually started to miss it.
Looking into the distance, there was a group of people standing at the foot of the mountain, looking into the distance. Xiao Chen's vision was very good. He discovered Liu Ruyue, Shao Yang, and Xiao Meng standing there.
"Brother Ye, you are finally back." When Liu Suifeng saw Xiao Chen, he went forward and hammered Xiao Chen.
"Big Brother Ye! Are you alright?! "Shao Yang and Xiao Meng welcomed him with smiles.
Xiao Chen greeted them one by one. When he saw everyone's enthusiastic expressions, he felt a warmth in his heart.
Liu Ruyue revealed a faint smile on her charming face. She stood quietly at the side. After consuming the Beauty Nourishing Pill that Xiao Chen gave her, she looked even more beautiful than before. No one dared to look her in the eye.
Liu Ruyue's aura was withdrawn. Compared to the past, it was less sharp. However, it was even more unfathomable. After absorbing the essence of heaven and earth that Ao Jiao gave her, she was only a step away from Martial King.
"Elder Sister Ruyue, I made you worry." Xiao Chen walked over and said sincerely. Liu Ruyue had personally gone down to the mine for him. No matter what, he had to thank her.
Liu Ruyue carefully sized up Xiao Chen. After a while, a strange look flashed in her eyes. She asked, "Are you a Superior Grade Martial Grand Master?"
When Liu Suifeng heard this, he could not help but be startled. He carefully sized up Xiao Chen. He felt that his aura was flourishing, and he could not see through him.
Before Xiao Chen went to do the mission, he was only a peak Inferior Grade Martial Grand Master. In just two months, he had become a Superior Grade Martial Grand Master. This speed was not inferior to a cultivator with an inherited Heavenly Vein Martial Spirit.
When Liu Ruyue saw Xiao Chen nod his head in acknowledgment, she said, "That's great. In half a month, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion will be holding the core disciple exam. It looks like you will be able to make it in time."
"Rest for a while first. Tomorrow, I will officially teach you Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It," after Liu Ruyue spoke, she turned around and left. She did not ask much about what happened to Xiao Chen underground.
Xiao Chen also heaved a sigh of relief. It would be troublesome to explain his fortuitous encounter in the underground. If Liu Ruyue asked, he would not know how to answer.
