"Nine-level spiritual martial arts realm? There are not many warriors in today's assessment, right?"
"Yeah, doesn't this mean dashing our hopes?"
"Recognize the reality. Even if you can pass the test, you still can't compete with the elite disciples of various sects."
"That's different. As long as you can pass the peripheral assessment, you can go to the venue in person and observe the Hidden Dragon Festival. This is the most important thing!"
…
Everyone was talking about it, venting their dissatisfaction.
"Silence!" Jian Hai said loudly: "You may think it's unfair, but do you think that you can qualify to participate in the Hidden Dragon Festival by passing the first round of assessment? No! Among the one hundred places accepted,
Tomorrow we will have to undergo two more rigorous assessments, and in the end only twenty places will be selected to be eligible to participate in the Hidden Dragon Festival!"
"Twenty? Why are there fewer and fewer places?"
"Forget it, it has already been designated by each sect. We who have no sect, how can we be so lucky to participate in the Hidden Dragon Festival. Let's go back and study for a few more years. Maybe we will have a chance in the next session."
"This is too embarrassing. I have waited so hard for so long, but this is the result."
"This is not an expected result. After all, there are too many sect disciples participating in this Hidden Dragon Festival, and the limit on peripheral quotas will definitely be very strict."
"I think the Sword Sect looks down on us martial artists too much. There are so many martial artists in the world, but they are finally limited to twenty places. They are the elite among the elite."
"It's over, it's over, there's nothing left to do. It seems that I really need to find a good sect to practice hard in the future, otherwise I'll have to miss the next Hidden Dragon Festival again."
…
Everyone looked gloomy and dejected. Who would be Jian Hai’s opponent?
Jianhai was also forced to retreat due to pressure.
See!
No one accepted the challenge, and Jianhai also relaxed a lot. The arduous task of the peripheral examination was finally completed, and it would be much easier to deal with the one hundred examinees who passed the first round of examination.
Immediately, Jianhai was about to leave.
Sudden!
A clear voice resounded from the crowd: "Wait! I want to try it!"
"kindness!?"
"who is it?"
"are you crazy?"
…
Everyone was shocked, followed the sound, and their eyes fell on Lin Chen.
But see you!
Lin Chen has an ordinary appearance, simple clothes, nothing out of the ordinary, and he doesn't look like a hidden master.
"Is this the guy who made the noise?"
"It doesn't look like anything special."
"I think he's out of his mind, right? He knows he can't do anything, but he still has the courage to show off."
"I still have some strength. I guess I want to deliberately attract Lord Jianhai's attention so I can get lucky. This kind of sensationalism is too shameless."
…
Everyone despised him.
In fact, Lin Chen was also helpless. He wanted to keep a low profile, but fate was always against him. He would always try every means to make things difficult for him, so he could only bite the bullet and stand up.
"Huh?" Jian Hai raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect anyone to dare to challenge his authority, and he seemed to be a little-known boy.
"I'm offended." Lin Chen clasped his fists and said with a firm face: "But I have a last resort. No matter what, I have to catch up with this Hidden Dragon Festival. I hope you will understand."
"I can understand your aggressiveness, but I also hope you can carefully consider your own strength! After all, fists and feet have no eyesight, and accidental injuries are inevitable." Jianhai's words contained a hint of warning.
"I understand, but I still want to give it a try. Even if I fail, I will have no regrets." Lin Chen said.
"Okay, I'll help you!" Jianhai muttered: "Since you are young and courageous, I won't embarrass you. I will decide the outcome with one punch. As long as you can force me to take half a step back, you will pass the level!
"
"That simple?" Lin Chen was stunned.
"Simple?"
"Oh my God! Did I hear you correctly?"
"I knew this guy was arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant."
"Young and frivolous, you don't know your own abilities!"
…
Everyone said with disdain.
Jian Hai's expression darkened, and he was also upset by Lin Chen's unintentional words. He said calmly: "Of course, if you think it's easy, it proves that you are quite confident in your own strength."
Nine-turn spiritual martial realm?
To be honest, it was really easy for Lin Chen, so he reacted like this subconsciously, not intentionally to offend.
"No, it's just a kid who doesn't know his own abilities. I hope my seniors can give me more guidance." Lin Chen said modestly again.
"How hypocritical!"
"Just wait to be laughed at."
"Although I didn't get the opportunity to take the assessment, I felt a lot more balanced after seeing such an interesting scene."
…
Everyone was chattering, feeling that Lin Chen was like a ridiculed clown in their eyes.
Jian Hai lost his patience and said calmly: "Okay, I'm busy with work and don't have much time and patience. You can take action now!"
"I'm offended." Lin Chen bowed his hands.
Jianhai, with his hands behind his back, looked arrogant, and looked down upon Lin Chen condescendingly. In his eyes, Lin Chen was just a young and frivolous clown, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
There is no way, Lin Chen seems to be too ordinary now.
Involuntarily, Lin Chen set up his offensive and slightly gained some strength. In order to pass the level as quietly as possible, Lin Chen was already trying his best to restrain the power in his body.
Jianhai turned a blind eye and secretly snorted: "It's full of flaws, a waste of time!"
this moment!
The eyes of everyone in the audience were also focused on Lin Chen, and they even thought of Lin Chen's tragic defeat.
Whoosh!~
A straight punch came from across the air, and it seemed to be obviously lacking in strength.
Jian Hai secretly shook his head. He originally had some expectations, but when he saw Lin Chen actually take action, he was completely disappointed.
See!
The fist was about to arrive, and the sea of swords was as steady as a mountain, and he raised his palm lightly.
However!
When the fists and palms collided, Jian Hai's entire face immediately changed color.
Yes!
Lin Chen's punch did not seem to have enough power, but the power of the punch was incredibly strong. Jianhai's palm power could not penetrate Lin Chen's fist power at all.
What's even more unbelievable is that when Lin Chen's fist came into contact, it felt like a bomb was detonated, and a powerful and overbearing secret force came out with a strong shock.
Bang!~
The air flow vibrated, and Jianhai looked horrified.
Just in time, no more, no less, Jianhai was forced to take half a step back.
on the contrary!
Lin Chen looked indifferent, motionless, and did not suffer any backlash.
"this…"
"I'm sure I'm not hallucinating, right? Lord Jianhai was actually forced to retreat?"
"I feel that the power of that punch just now is really too ordinary. It doesn't have enough power to push back a strong person in the ninth-level spiritual realm. Is there something fishy about it?"
…
Everyone was horrified. Reality and imagination completely subverted their cognition.
Jian Hai had personal experience. He was the only one who understood the true meaning of Lin Chen's punch. He was shocked and said: "An Jin is so strong. He really underestimated this kid. It seems he is really a hidden master!"
"I agree!" Lin Chen smiled slightly.
"Won?"
"Fake! It's too fake!"
"This kid must have given Jianyuntang some benefit and intended to give him a quota!"
…
Everyone was very angry.
The corners of Jianhai's mouth twitched, he was extremely puzzled, and secretly gritted his teeth: "What do you know! A bunch of ignorant idiots!"
certainly!
Jian Hai didn't want to accidentally injure Lin Chen just now, and only used three levels of strength. However, Lin Chen was able to easily force back his three levels of strength. It seemed that his strength was reserved.
If Lin Chen were allowed to pass the level just like this, he would inevitably be gossiped about and it would be difficult to convince the public. Moreover, Jianhai also wanted to further test Lin Chen's strength.
Unable to help, Jianhai changed his face and smiled appreciatively: "My little brother is very strong, I did underestimate it, but I only used the third level of strength just now, so the test just now doesn't count."
"It was a false alarm. It turns out that Master Jianhai only used three levels of strength!"
"The problem is that with the strength of a strong person in the ninth-turn spiritual martial realm, even the third level of strength is not that easy to deal with."
"It seems we all made a mistake. This guy really has some background!"
…
Everyone was extremely surprised, their views on Lin Chen had changed a lot, and they were even more curious.
"It doesn't count?" Lin Chen was speechless, but it was Jianzong who made the rules, so he smiled and said: "That junior is indeed a little defeated, so I will be bold and try again."
"This time, I will go all out, but you must be mentally prepared!" Jianhai said in a deep voice.
"Well, I will do my best!" Lin Chen nodded slightly.
"Don't let me down!" Jian Hai said calmly, feeling even more pressure in his heart. Lin Chen was posing a difficult problem for him, which made him unable to dismount, so he could only shamelessly test it again.
Suddenly!
The sword sea transports enough spiritual energy, and the powerful momentum is released, and the surrounding airflow roars sharply, oppressing like a mountain, and the momentum is overwhelming.
"What a strong momentum!"
"A strong man in the ninth-level spiritual martial arts realm has half a foot in the golden elixir realm, and his combat power is extremely profound!"
"It seems that Master Jianhai is really serious about it. Although this kid is bound to lose no matter what, it is good to be able to force Master Jianhai to use all his strength."
…
Everyone was talking about it and looked at it more seriously this time.
Little did they know!
Lin Chen still didn't show any strength. He simply put on the offensive position as before, which looked unremarkable.
But this time, when Jianhai saw Lin Chen putting on the same posture, it became even more difficult to see through it, and he said: "Don't say that I bully the small with the big, I still let you take the first move!"
"Then you're offended!" Lin Chen jumped up fiercely, his strong fist rubbing against the airflow, and his strength obviously increased a bit.
Jian Hai had just suffered a small loss, so he was on guard this time and summoned all his spiritual power. Facing Lin Chen's fist, he raised another palm, but the power increased dozens of times, and the force was as heavy as a mountain.
Bang!~
The fists and palms collided, causing waves to vibrate, and the billowing air flow spread out in all directions.
powerful!
Looking around at the crowd, they retreated in fear.
Jian Hai was also dumbfounded. When he clashed with Lin Chen's fist strength, the powerful and strange dark strength penetrated his defense line in one fell swoop and shattered his palm.
This time, it made him feel like his blood was boiling.
What's even more frightening is that Lin Chen clearly hides such powerful combat power, but he can move it freely. As if he had deliberately calculated it, Jianhai was also forced to take half a step back.
"I gave in again!" Lin Chen looked indifferent.
"Well!?"
The whole place was stunned, and it was as quiet as death. It was like a monster staring at Lin Chen, and his heart was like a raging wave, and it was difficult to calm down.
