Chapter 104 The slap in the face comes quickly enough
"Arrogant boy!"
Yan Dao gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Shen on the stage, with veins popping out on his forehead.
He never expected that Lin Shen would not only challenge a prefecture-level disciple, but also challenge him by name!
This is completely ignoring him!
"You really thought I was easy to bully!"
Yan Dao snorted heavily and strode towards the high platform.
Behind them, Bai Xiaotong and Zheng Weirong looked at each other.
"Why would Lin Shen challenge Senior Brother Yan by name?"
"Why don't you think about it? Let's not mention the meeting at Huo Heshan. Let's just say that Lin Shen had a lot of trouble with the Yan family. Yan Xing is still fainting now!"
"makes sense."
The two of them murmured in low voices.
Ai Jingting looked strange on the side, and Lin Shen's operation also far exceeded her expectations.
At this time, as Yan Dao climbed onto the high platform, the atmosphere in the square suddenly reached a high point.
"Lin Shen is going to fight the Yan family to the end!"
"Yan Dao is from the Yan family? Who can tell me about the strength of Senior Brother Yan?"
"I happen to know that Senior Brother Yan is at the seventh level of long-breath cultivation!"
"Seventh level of long-breathing? Isn't that the lowest among earth-level disciples?"
The cultivation level of earth-level disciples is generally between the seventh level of Long Breathing and the ninth level of Long Breathing.
Among them, only a handful of people have reached the ninth level of long-breathing, and the number does not exceed twenty.
Those with eighth-level cultivation of long-breath accounted for the vast majority.
And those with the seventh level of Long Breath are only at the bottom.
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately shook his head and refuted.
"That's not what you are saying. Although Senior Brother Yan is at the seventh level of Long Breath, he is better than many Earth-level disciples in terms of martial arts attainments. It is said that Senior Brother Yan's Star Shift and Burning Cloud Sword have been cultivated to perfection!
"
As soon as these words came out, there was a small burst of exclamation in the crowd.
Star Moving Step and Burning Cloud Sword are both common martial arts in Jiuyang Taoist Academy, and many disciples have practiced these two martial arts.
However, only one or two out of ten people can reach the Dacheng state.
There are only a handful of people who reach the state of perfection!
Being able to practice two martial arts to perfection at the same time, Senior Brother Yan's martial arts attainments can indeed be called superb!
"In terms of martial arts attainments, Lin Shen is no worse than Senior Brother Yan, right?"
"I think Lin Shen is better than Senior Brother Yan in this aspect. Didn't you see that his horizontal martial arts skills can even block the Liuyang Talisman Sword?"
"Even so, Lin Shen is in trouble. After all, Senior Brother Yan's cultivation level will definitely crush him!"
The last sentence attracted the approval of many people.
Judging from Lin Shen's performance just now, it is very likely that he has broken through to the fourth level of Long Breathing, and even the fifth level of Long Breathing is not impossible!
This is absolutely horrifying!
After all, it had only been three months since Lin Shen entered the Taoist Academy!
At the same time, many Taoist disciples are still practicing hard to break through the Long Breath Realm!
However, even if he is on the fifth level of Long Breath, the possibility of defeating Yan Dao on the seventh level of Long Breath is very low.
The gap between the two realm levels cannot be bridged by martial arts - not to mention that Yan Dao's martial arts attainments are not weak either!
After some debate, the vast majority of people believed that Lin Shen had a low chance of winning.
Of course, more people think that Lin Shen has the courage to challenge a prefecture-level disciple - the key is that the chance of winning is low - which is an admirable move in itself!
Even if you lose, it doesn't hurt.
On the high platform, Yan Dao had calmed down by now.
Listening to the discussion coming from all around, he snorted coldly, and when he looked at Lin Shen, there was already a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"I really don't know where you got the courage to challenge me?"
The words with a cold tone failed to change Lin Shen's expression at all. Instead, he smiled faintly.
"The establishment of the level challenge system in Jiuyang Taoist Academy has the original intention of encouraging disciples to compete with each other and overcome difficulties, isn't it?"
After a pause, before Yan Dao could reply, Lin Shen added with a half-smile.
"Of course, if you are challenged, you are still not ready to rise to the challenge."
Yan Dao was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what this sentence meant, and he immediately became furious.
In a rage, Yan Dao said no more, drew his sword with a clang and killed Lin Shen brazenly.
As an earth-level disciple, Yan Dao's net worth is much richer than that of Huang-level and Xuan-level disciples. The weapon in his hand is a long sword that is not inferior to the Liuyang Talisman Sword, which is also a middle-grade magical weapon.
The blade split into the air and was swung out, and the blazing flames rolled out in an instant. Coupled with the burning cloud knife's unparalleled scorching energy, the sound was extremely powerful and astonishing!
However, when this sword was slashed out, Yan Dao was shocked to find that what was coming towards him was also a blazing and unparalleled rolling wave, which also contained the masculine and sharp sword energy!
boom!
The two powerful waves collided heavily in the center of the high platform, like a high-speed locomotive colliding hard. In an instant, the violent air waves suddenly exploded, turning into distortions visible to the naked eye and quickly swept away, and finally hit the edge of the high platform!
Buzz!
The stone pillars standing around the high platform suddenly lit up, and a circle of faint green light appeared out of thin air, enveloping the entire high platform like an upside-down jade bowl.
The violent air waves hit the green light, and instantly disappeared like a mud cow into the sea, without causing any waves.
However, the deafening and huge muffled thunder was heard, shaking many disciples who were closer to the high platform to the point where their chests felt tight and their brows furrowed.
But they no longer paid attention and stared at the situation on the high platform without blinking, fearing to miss any scene.
call!
The air waves dissipated, the dust fell to the ground, and the scene on the high platform was revealed again.
Lin Shen and Yan Dao were still facing each other more than ten meters apart. The ground between them was already cracked and slightly scorched, which showed how amazing the power of the confrontation just now was!
Looking at Lin Shen again, his expression was still calm and calm.
Yan Dao, on the other hand, looked horrified.
Yang Ji Sword Technique!
And it’s the Yang Pole Sword Technique of the Perfection Realm!
Yan Dao's pupils narrowed.
He had fought many times with a prefectural-level disciple who had mastered the Yangji Sword Art, and he knew the Yangji Sword Art quite well.
And Lin Shen's blow just now, both in terms of the sharpness of the sword and the fierceness of the sword energy, was superior to that earth-level disciple!
There is no doubt that Lin Shen's Yang Pole Sword Technique has reached perfection!
Yan Dao secretly gritted his teeth, raised his knife and charged at Lin Shen again.
Lin Shen did not flinch, and also raised his sword to face him.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were fighting fiercely in the center of the high platform. During the exchange of swords, the sound of gold and iron was heard!
In terms of cultivation, Yan Dao, who is at the seventh level of Long Breath, is one level higher than Lin Shen.
For other opponents, this level of cultivation gap is enough to determine the outcome!
Unfortunately, this common sense doesn't work for Lin Shen.
Yan Dao has the Perfection Realm Burning Cloud Sword, and Lin Shen also has the Perfection Realm Yangji Sword Technique.
Yan Dao's consummation star moved forward, and Lin Shen followed him like a shadow and also reached the consummation state.
What's more, Lin Shen also has the Forbidden Golden Armor of the Perfection Realm!
The Forbidden Golden Armor of the Perfect Realm and the powerful defense provided by Shuyang Robe prevented Lin Shen from having to devote too much energy to defense and could focus on launching a fierce offensive against the opponent.
On the other hand, Yan Dao, although he was also wearing Yang Shu robe, he did not dare to resist the Six Yang Talisman Sword like Lin Shen did, and he would be restrained in the fight.
Under this situation, he was actually quite embarrassed for a while.
Seeing this scene, the crowd watching couldn't help but fell into an eerie silence.
No one could have imagined that the battle situation would develop like this. Yan Dao, who had a higher level of cultivation, would actually be at a disadvantage?
If it hadn't happened right in front of their eyes, they wouldn't have believed such an outrageous thing!
Looking at the slightly embarrassed Yan Dao on the high platform, Bai Xiaotong and Zheng Weirong looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.
Just now, Yan Dao was still sneering and despising Heng Lian's martial arts, saying shamelessly that practicing Heng Lian's martial arts was a very thankless task. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Lin Shen would be beaten to the left by relying on Heng Lian's martial arts?
The slap in the face comes quickly enough!
As if aware of the surprised gazes around him, Yan Dao's face turned red and he felt extremely embarrassed.
He had just let go of the cruel words, but in the blink of an eye he was beaten into such an embarrassing state. For Yan Dao, who always thought highly of himself, it was no less than a great shame and humiliation.
In anger, he desperately used his true energy to inject the weapon in his hand, stirring up more turbulent and blazing waves of flames to hit Lin Shen!
Which person who can become a prefecture-level disciple is not someone with rich combat experience?
Despite the unfavorable situation, Yan Dao quickly figured out a way to win.
Since you can't compete with martial arts, then use your own cultivation advantages!
The higher the cultivation level, the higher the quality and quantity of Qi.
In a competition of true energy, this kid is no match for me, right?
The activation of the magic weapon consumes a lot of energy. As long as this kid's energy is exhausted and the power of the Six Yang Talisman Sword is lost, this kid will be a fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by him!
Lin Shen immediately noticed something strange from the change in his opponent's offensive. After thinking about it for a while, he understood it and couldn't help but smile.
"If we compete with each other, I really don't have much advantage. Unfortunately, I don't plan to play with you anymore."
A battle with Yan Dao gave Lin Shen a general understanding of his strength after his breakthrough.
Without any talent, he can defeat his opponents at the seventh level of Long Breath with his superhuman superb martial arts.
Even against the eighth level of Long Breath, he still has the power to fight!
And if you add talent,
A faint light flashed in Lin Shen's eyes, and he instantly switched to the pure Yang body talent.
The next second, Yan Dao suddenly felt that the power of Lin Shen's swordsmanship had suddenly increased significantly!
The blazing sword energy and billowing waves of flames that came towards me suddenly grew in size, almost giving people a feeling of suffocation.
"what happened?"
Yan Dao was shocked.
Why did Lin Shen's strength suddenly increase so much?
However, the fierce battle left him little time to doubt.
With the blessing of the talent effect of +100% of the power of Yang attribute martial arts of Pure Yang Body, the power of Lin Shen's Yang pole sword technique has reached a very frightening level.
The disciples watching the battle quickly discovered something was wrong.
On the high platform, the heat wave and the fire cloud were originally evenly matched, but the former suddenly grew stronger and overpowered the latter in the blink of an eye.
Just when everyone was in shock and doubt, they heard a scream full of pain, and a figure broke through the fire cloud and flew out heavily, hitting the ground with a bang.
Everyone quickly took a closer look and saw that the person who fell to the ground was Yan Dao.
He looked extremely embarrassed at this time, with sword wounds all over his body, but the wounds were burned and melted by the high temperature, so no blood flowed out.
Even so, it’s shocking to see!
laugh!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Lin Shen appeared in front of Yan Dao like a ghost, his arm slightly raised, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Yan Dao's throat.
Looking at the gleaming sword tip in front of him, Yan Dao's complexion suddenly turned extremely pale.
There was silence all around.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them, with their mouths wide open for a long time, unable to recover.
After a long while, an uproar suddenly broke out in the crowd.
"Lin Shen won!?"
“It’s unbelievable that the challenge was actually successful!”
"I'll go, this is too fierce!"
The exclamations kept coming and going.
Shock, disbelief, admiration, astonishment. All eyes focused on Lin Shen.
At this moment, Lin Shen undoubtedly became the center of the entire square.
"Senior Brother Yan was defeated"
Zheng Weirong's face was in a trance, and he still couldn't come back to his senses until this moment.
Although he had already vaguely felt that Yan Dao's situation was not good, when Yan Dao's defeat actually happened before his eyes, he still felt like he was in a dream.
After all, a disciple who had just entered the Taoist Academy for three months took the initiative to challenge a prefecture-level disciple and succeeded. This kind of thing sounds so mysterious!
Bai Xiaotong's eyes were shining brightly, and he stared at Lin Shen's back with admiration.
Even Ai Jingting was a little distracted, looking at Lin Shen blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the corner of the square, all the leaders also sighed one after another.
"This young man is extremely talented!"
"Who says otherwise? He became a prefecture-level disciple in three months. This is the first time I have seen him in so many years."
"Speaking of which, the head of the Siyuan is still very discerning. When the head of the Siyuan promoted Lin Shen to a Xuan-level disciple, I was actually opposed to it in my heart. I never thought that Lin Shen would not only hold the position of a Xuan-level disciple, but also go one step further!
"
Listening to the sighs of his colleagues, Ke Ya also looked complicated.
He never thought that Lin Shen could reach this point.
When Su Liuying was in the Taoist Academy, he was already recognized as a unique genius that was rare to see in a hundred years.
But even so, it took Su Liuying nearly a year to be promoted to a prefecture-level disciple.
In comparison, Lin Shen's performance is undoubtedly better than Su Liuying!
"Real Genius"
A strange light flashed in Ke Ya's eyes.
After the challenge ended, Lin Shen was successfully promoted to prefecture-level disciple.
Amid countless amazed eyes, he walked down the platform with a calm expression.
As expected, he was greeted by Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian's eyes as if they were looking at monsters.
"Although I had vaguely guessed it a long time ago, you still surprised me!" Yang Zhongyi sighed.
Su Nian asked directly: "Lin Shen, what level has your cultivation level reached now?"
Lin Shen didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "Long breath level six."
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian took a deep breath and looked shocked.
In three months, he was promoted from the first level of Long Breath to the sixth level of Long Breath. This speed of improvement in strength is simply unbelievable!
But soon, Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian regained their composure.
Ever since they met, Lin Shen had given them one shock after another, and by now, they were already a little numb.
Even if Lin Shen suddenly told them a few months later that he had broken through to the Mingqiao realm, they probably wouldn't be too surprised.
After Lin Shen, no one came up to challenge again, and the prefecture-level disciple level challenge ended immediately.
The subsequent Heaven Level Disciple Challenge was postponed to the next day.
Lin Shen did not go to watch the scene because the sixth clone had already been condensed.
