149: Physical skills

At this moment, Lin Chen was filled with doubt. He was certain that Ao Jin, like him, possessed a Saint-tier Golden Body.

But the moment their fists clashed, the immense force emanating from Ao Jin's body directly suppressed him.

However, Lin Chen was mistaken this time; Ao Jin did not have a Saint-tier Golden Body.

Instead, he possessed a Nineteenth-Forged Golden Body!

He had cultivated a heaven-defying Body Art that could greatly amplify his Physical Strength.

Ao Jin had trained this Body Art to a profound level, and with its amplification, he could fight across one Physical Strength realm!

At this moment, Ao Jin was also inwardly shocked. He could tell at a glance that Lin Chen had not mastered any Body Art.

It was pure Physical Strength!

He had joined Ba Sect, one of Hong Country's two major Body Art sects, and learned Ba Sect's secret technique — the Celestial Tyrant Body Art.

Moreover, he had trained this Body Art to a very high level, capable of forcibly elevating his Physical Strength by one realm!

It was by relying on this Body Art, combined with his Nineteenth-Forged Golden Body, that he possessed battle prowess comparable to a Venerable Realm expert while still in the Source Beginning Realm.

But how could this human boy's Physical Strength be so powerful?

Ao Jin looked at Lin Chen, now shedding his condescending attitude. It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent in Body Arts.

"Good fellow, I didn't expect your Golden Body to have reached the Saint-tier. That's truly incredible."

"Are you interested in joining my Ba Sect?"

Ba Sect?

Lin Chen looked puzzled. Are we still fighting?

Then he shook his head slightly.

"Thank you for the invitation, but I have already joined Fire Mist Sect."

Ao Jin sighed slightly upon hearing this, then a mocking expression appeared on his face.

"What a waste of talent. Your Body Cultivation talent is so strong, yet you're going to that Fire Mist Sect. Fire Mist Sect doesn't have any Body Arts."

Body Art?

Lin Chen thought of the golden secret runes that had bloomed on Ao Jin's body just now, and he pondered. No wonder the other party could suppress him; it was because of Body Arts.

Lin Chen immediately became interested. He wondered if the system could deduce Body Arts after upgrading... At this moment, Ao Jin laughed provocatively.

"Come, let's have a good fight and see how powerful your Saint-tier Golden Body is."

Lin Chen's gaze instantly sharpened. He, too, wanted to compete.

Boom boom boom—

Then, their bodies continuously clashed, and the space of the entire void arena faintly trembled.

After exchanging hundreds of blows, Ao Jin still held a slight advantage.

Neither of them could injure the other; after all, their physical defenses were currently equal.

At this point, Lin Chen had also figured out Ao Jin's true strength, which made him sigh in admiration. There were indeed many geniuses in the Endless Realm.

Ao Jin, as a Half-step Venerable Realm expert, had also comprehended the Law of Hardness, a branch of the Dao of Earth.

He had created a Divine-tier Mid-grade Body Protection Battle Skill, further enhancing his Physical Strength to be on par with Lin Chen's battle prowess after he unleashed the Chaos Battle Skill!

Lin Chen frowned slightly. This Ao Jin, cultivating both martial arts and body arts, was indeed very powerful.

But unfortunately, he had encountered Lin Chen this time!

Om—

A powerful spiritual fluctuation swept across. Ao Jin's body stood frozen in place, the light in his pupils slowly faded, then turned into specks of light and disappeared... "I still had to use spiritual power."

Lin Chen collected his thoughts, and a surge of battle intent slowly rose from his heart. He wanted to see how strong a Source Beginning Realm expert even more powerful than Ao Jin could be!

After defeating Ao Jin, his ranking rose to tenth place.

[501 consecutive wins, matching opponent...]

As Lin Chen continued to matchmake, within the Ba Sect of the Ziwei Great World.

Ao Jin's cross-legged body suddenly trembled. He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of apprehension flashing in his pupils.

"Venerable Realm spiritual power!"

After a long while, he recovered and showed a helpless expression.

His spirit had already transformed, yet he was still lingering in the Source Beginning Realm without breaking through, bullying people... "Disciple, how was it? Was the ambush successful?"

At this moment, a wild voice came, and Ao Jin turned to look.

He saw an extremely burly middle-aged man slowly approaching, his body faintly exuding an aura that caused the void to twist.

This middle-aged strong man had a bear's head and a human body; he was from the Bearman Race, a branch of the Beastman Race!

His name was Xiong Lie, an Elder Emeritus of Ba Sect, and his strength was extremely terrifying.

"Master, that Lin Chen not only has a Saint-tier Physical Strength, but his spiritual power has also broken through to the Venerable Realm!"

As soon as Ao Jin said this, Xiong Lie's eyes immediately widened like bronze bells. He grabbed Ao Jin's arm and shouted.

"Quick, tell me, where is this human boy?"

The strength of Xiong Lie's grip directly deformed Ao Jin's arm.

"Ah... Master, what are you doing? It hurts... Go easy!"

Xiong Lie chuckled dryly at this, then released his hand.

"Disciple, according to what you said, this human boy is an unparalleled genius in Body Cultivation. To reach a Saint-tier Golden Body in the Source Beginning Realm, we must recruit him to our Ba Sect."

"We can't let Dragon Elephant Sect snatch him away!"

Ao Jin sighed, quite speechless, upon hearing this.

"Master, you old man, give it a rest. We don't have a chance anymore, because Lin Chen has already joined Fire Mist Sect..."

Xiong Lie's excited expression instantly froze.

"Nonsense! How can such good Body Cultivation talent go to Fire Mist Sect, that place for fire players? I'm going to Fire Mist Sect!"

Before Ao Jin could react, Xiong Lie instantly disappeared from his spot.

"..."

[Match successful!]

Opponent: Time-Space Clan, Yu Wanyue

Realm: Half-step Venerable Realm

Ranking: 1

A woman in green battle armor appeared in Lin Chen's field of vision.

This woman radiated endless light, and the space-time around her constantly twisted, making her true appearance unclear, as if she was in another dimension.

Hmm?

Ranked first!

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly constricted as he stared blankly at the battle information.

It was actually the Time-Space Clan! This Time-Space Clan was the imperial clan of Hong Country!

With the power of a single clan, they could rule a Great World and even suppress super-clans like the Asura Clan, establishing a glorious country.

The strength of this Time-Space Clan could be said to be extremely formidable.

As far as Lin Chen knew, the Time-Space Clan were born darlings of both Time and Space Dao.

Time as supreme, Space as king—this was not just a saying.

This clan had an inherently high affinity for the Great Dao of Time and Space; comprehending the Dao of Time and Space was as easy as eating and drinking for them.

Many Dao Realm experts were born from the Time-Space Clan, and on the Dao Realm Rankings, most of the strong individuals were from this clan.

Ao Jin, with the battle prowess of an early Venerable Realm expert, only ranked tenth. This Yu Wanyue, who could suppress a multitude of peerless prodigies, would definitely not be easy to deal with.

Yu Wanyue on the opposite side quietly waited for the invincibility period to end; she didn't even look at the battle information.

It was as if Lin Chen was just an ant that could be casually crushed in her eyes.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, adjusting his state to its peak.

He would fight with all his might to see what was different about this number one on the Source Origin Rankings!

Invincibility period ended.

Lin Chen directly joined his fingers into a palm, unleashing a Divine-tier High-grade Blade Art — the Grand Chaos Decimation Art!

No matter how strong Time and Space were, they were not as strong as Chaos!

Boom—

A terrifying blade light swept out. However, Yu Wanyue on the opposite side watched all this indifferently.

When the blade light reached her, it actually passed through her body, slashing towards the space behind her.

Lin Chen's expression instantly changed.

This Yu Wanyue was currently not in the same space-time as him; all his attacks had no effect on her!
