22: crisis

High up in the sky, several thousand meters above, Old Li silently watched Lin Chen.

"His Heart-Nature is decent, and he is decisive in killing. Not bad, not bad."

Suddenly, his expression changed.

He looked towards the distant Exotic Beast Mountain Range.

"Spirit Race, you have crossed the line."

The old man's eyes revealed boundless killing intent.

A terrifying Aura flashed across his body and vanished in an instant.

He glanced down at Lin Chen below.

Then, his figure instantly disappeared.

Below, Lin Chen was moving at high speed.

Each flash of his figure covered over a hundred meters.

He kept his Mental Energy extended to a thousand meters.

As he approached the edge, he discovered a group of white-robed Heretics besieging Duan Peng.

However, Duan Peng was doing a bit better than Jiang Yueru.

Because the Martial Artist Realm white-robed Heretics could not deal fatal damage to him.

His exaggerated muscles bulged, and his defense was astonishing.

Only the team leader at the Martial Master Realm could pose a threat to him.

Every time the Martial Master Realm team leader swung his blade, he left a deep wound on him.

"Is this a Perfection Realm body-protection Cultivation Technique, combined with his own special Physique?"

Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel as he watched Duan Peng.

He would need to practice a body-protection Cultivation Technique later on as well.

However, Duan Peng's situation was not optimistic.

The Martial Master Late Stage Realm had already condensed a Martial Dao Purple Mansion in the Dantian, and the True Qi had been compressed into liquid!

Every move and style had astonishing power.

Boom!

After taking a hit head-on, Duan Peng vomited blood and flew backward.

Seeing this, Lin Chen did not hesitate.

He had already approached within a hundred meters of this group.

His terrifying Domain descended instantly, suppressing all the Heretics!

Bolts of purple lightning struck rapidly.

It was like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

The Martial Artist Realm Heretics had their bodies shattered instantly by the strikes.

Lin Chen took a step forward.

His footwork was ethereal and strange, bringing him directly to the side of the Martial Master Realm Heretic.

He slashed out several times in succession.

The Purple Lightning Thunder Blade empowered by his Domain!

His Mental Energy flying knives also assisted in the attack.

At this moment, Lin Chen was bursting with full power.

The team leader witnessed the reversal of the situation in an instant, his heart filled with extreme terror.

He looked at Lin Chen with a fearful expression and hurriedly swung his blade to parry.

Lin Chen's movement technique was strange, and the team leader couldn't attack him at all.

After a few rounds.

Slash!

He slashed off the opponent's head with one strike!

Huff~

Lin Chen panted slightly.

After several consecutive bursts, there wasn't much True Qi left in his body.

Lin Chen scanned these Heretics with his Mental Energy and couldn't help but be speechless.

He had checked the previous two waves as well and found nothing valuable on them.

"Are they determined to go on a one-way trip? They didn't bring anything, not even combat uniforms."

"However, these corpses seem to be convertible into energy points, just like Exotic Beasts."

After thinking about it, Lin Chen decided to hold back.

There would be plenty of opportunities to obtain energy points.

This was the trial base of Modu Martial University.

If some super powerhouse happened to be watching, his secret would be exposed!

To be cautious, Lin Chen planned to go back, exchange the resources on him for federal currency, and then purchase aperture opening pills to absorb.

Maximize resources!

"Um... brother, th... thank you."

Duan Peng's voice came from behind.

Lin Chen turned around to look.

He saw Duan Peng looking at him with a shocked expression.

His whole body was covered in dense, small wounds, and a few large wounds were shocking to the eye.

The small wounds were slowly healing, and the large wounds had already stopped bleeding.

Freak!

Lin Chen felt envious in his heart.

"You're welcome. You should leave this area quickly too; Jiang Yueru has already left."

Duan Peng nodded with a serious expression and said:

"Alright, I'll head out first."

After speaking, Duan Peng turned and left.

Lin Chen was not planning to leave yet; he possessed a Perfection movement technique and could still manage to save his own life.

"For these three waves of Heretic assassinations, no teacher from Modu Martial University has appeared."

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel vigilant.

The point bracelets could only have been tampered with by someone inside Modu Martial University.

At this moment.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"I have been here the whole time."

A middle-aged man instantly appeared behind Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's heart tightened involuntarily, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

He hadn't noticed this middle-aged man at all!

"Don't be surprised. People with higher Mental Energy than you can block your perception."

"Or by learning some Cultivation Techniques for holding breath and concealing Qi, one can also evade your perception."

Lin Chen turned his head to look at the middle-aged man.

He saw that the other person had a crew cut.

He was wearing casual sportswear and looking at him with a smile.

Lin Chen's brow twitched for no reason, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

The person's strength was unfathomable.

But the faint sense of pressure made Lin Chen tremble.

His muscles were tense all over.

If anything went wrong, he would immediately use his movement technique to run away.

"Don't be nervous. I am the teacher in charge of this area. I discovered that group of Heretics long ago."

"Just when I was about to act, the Principal sent a voice transmission telling me to wait; he wanted to add some difficulty to the trial for you few."

"Heretics have appeared in other areas too, but they were suppressed very quickly."

The Principal?

Lin Chen was suspicious in his heart.

On the surface, he still didn't lower his guard.

Looking at this calm and collected teacher, he asked:

"Teacher, it seems our point bracelets have been tampered with. I discovered that those Heretics could lock onto our location."

The crew-cut middle-aged man's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Let me see your point bracelet."

Lin Chen hesitated slightly, then took off the bracelet and threw it to the middle-aged man.

The crew-cut middle-aged man took the bracelet and studied it over and over.

"It has indeed been tampered with."

After speaking, he squeezed it hard with his hand.

Bang!

The point bracelet was directly destroyed.

Then, the crew-cut middle-aged man looked at Lin Chen and smiled:

"You head out first; I will report the matter of the point bracelet to the Principal."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Suppressing the fear in his heart, he said:

"Alright, Teacher, then I will head out first."

Immediately, Lin Chen used his movement technique, turned around, and hurried towards the exit.

Behind him, the crew-cut middle-aged man watched Lin Chen's back.

A trace of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Lin Chen pushed his movement technique to the limit, feeling a faint chill down his back.

He always felt that this crew-cut middle-aged man had issues.

Considering the situation with Duan Peng and Jiang Yueru earlier.

If he had arrived even a moment later, he might have been in mortal danger.

And that point bracelet, he just squeezed it until it exploded.

It seemed like he was—destroying evidence!

This teacher must have problems.

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more alarmed he became.

A few minutes later.

Lin Chen saw the exit ahead.

His hanging heart finally settled down.

He subconsciously turned his head to look back.

Bang~

Lin Chen's heart jumped violently, and he stared at the rear with a terrified expression.

He saw the crew-cut middle-aged man hovering in mid-air seven or eight meters behind him.

He hadn't noticed it at all!

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Chen with evil eyes and said eerily:

"What are you afraid of?"

Lin Chen's breath hitched.

He felt the breath of death.

This middle-aged man was very strong; he was definitely not someone he could contend with right now!

"Teacher, I'm just afraid of encountering Heretics again and want to leave here quickly."

Lin Chen said, feigning calmness.

The crew-cut middle-aged man opposite him suddenly laughed strangely.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"You are very smart; you should have already become suspicious of me, right?"

"It's a pity. I have worked hard to lurk in Modu Martial University for 50 years, all for you."

"It's worth it even if I get exposed!"

"I absolutely cannot allow a Genius like you to grow up!"

The more the crew-cut middle-aged man spoke, the more fanatical his expression became.

Suddenly!

A bloody Domain that enveloped the entire Tier 2 Exotic Beast area descended!

The air turned completely scarlet.

Lin Chen felt his five senses becoming dull.

He couldn't muster even a shred of True Qi in his body.

"Such strong suppression ability!"

Lin Chen didn't have time to think.

He hurriedly summoned his own Domain.

Bang!

The moment his Domain emerged, it shattered.

Lin Chen immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"It's useless. Don't resist; the Principal has already been lured away by us."

"From the moment you revealed your Domain, I had already decided to expose myself."

The crew-cut middle-aged man's fanatical voice came, but Lin Chen couldn't see him at all!

The sense of oppression grew stronger and stronger.

Lin Chen's whole body was pressed to the ground, his hands supporting his upper body.

He felt the bones all over his body creaking.

His skin was slowly oozing blood, and his eyeballs were swelling as if they were about to burst.

"No! I cannot die like this."

Lin Chen roared in a hoarse voice.

"That's right! energy points."

At the moment of life-and-death crisis.

Lin Chen prepared to use energy points to Breakthrough his Realm!

Just at this moment.

Boom!

A loud noise.

Lin Chen suddenly felt his body lighten.

The Domain covering him disappeared.

A strong arm helped him stand up.

Lin Chen turned his head to look.

He saw a burly man with a full beard looking at him with a smile.

"Can you still walk?"

Lu Hui!

The chief invigilator for this martial arts exam trial!
