28: Endless Sea

He checked the time; it was already 12:00 AM.

Lin Chen activated the random Dreamland Traversal and drifted into a deep sleep.

On an island in the Other World.

Lin Chen opened his eyes.

The sea breeze blew against his face.

A giant blood moon hung in the sky, reflecting a dark red hue across the surface of the sea.

He discovered that he was on a small island.

In the distant sea, the outlines of scattered islands could still be seen.

"A sea area?"

Lin Chen felt surprised and suspicious.

This Dreamland Traversal had not brought him to the Exotic Beast Mountain Range.

Lin Chen probed with his Mental Energy, covering a 5000-meter radius to observe the island.

The island was only about seven or eight kilometers in size.

Within the range of his Mental Energy, it was densely packed with nothing but Rank 1 exotic beasts!

Furthermore, all these Rank 1 exotic beasts belonged to a single species—the Green-Armored Turtle.

The Rank 1 Green-Armored Turtles were three to four meters long, and their thick shells had astonishing defensive power.

Lin Chen observed the island more carefully and discovered traces of human activity.

The exotic beasts here might have been intentionally farmed by someone!

Although he was puzzled, Lin Chen's eyes immediately lit up.

"Who cares? There are thousands of Green-Armored Turtles on this island!"

Lin Chen did not hesitate.

His body levitated into the air, and his Mental Energy covered the island below.

Six Flying Swords transformed into golden lightning and flew out!

Swish, swish, swish!

Although the Earth Rank Advanced sword formation was only at the entry level, its power was far superior to before.

It was like a hot knife through butter.

The Green-Armored Turtles' thick shells could not withstand the Flying Swords at all.

Lin Chen controlled the Flying Swords to reap them frantically while flickering his body to absorb and devour the exotic beast corpses.

Seven hours later, all the Green-Armored Turtles on the island had been slaughtered by Lin Chen!

Phew~

Lin Chen stopped on a reef to rest.

"Fortunately, my True Qi is profound."

"Even so, I had to rest and adjust twice in the middle."

Lin Chen briefly checked the haul in his spatial ring.

1123 Rank 1 life cores!

A single Rank 1 life core is worth at least 5 million; just these life cores are worth an estimated 100 billion federal currency!

"I'm rich!"

Lin Chen was very excited.

He didn't expect someone to be farming so many Rank 1 exotic beasts here.

He looked up at the islands in the distance.

"Those islands... wouldn't they also have farmed exotic beasts, right!"

Lin Chen was shocked, and then his eyes glowed.

Suddenly!

A loud noise erupted from the sea surface ahead.

A dozen or so exotic beings with human faces and fish bodies flew out from the seabed.

The leader had a terrifying Aura, and its strength had reached the Martial King Realm!

Lin Chen's expression changed drastically; he immediately turned and hid beneath the reef.

The Sea Demon Clan!

The overlord-level race of the Endless Sea in the Northern Region of the Other World.

The Sea Demon Clan has a natural affinity for the Dao of Water, and there are two Martial God level powerhouses within the clan!

"So, the exotic beasts on these islands are farmed by the Sea Demon Clan."

Lin Chen understood in his heart.

"My Cultivation Technique and Realm haven't improved much, so I probably can't contend with a Martial King powerhouse yet. I should go back and improve first."

Hum~

Space fluctuated, and Lin Chen disappeared without a sound.

At this moment.

A dozen Sea Demons descended onto the small island.

Upon discovering that all the exotic beasts on the island had disappeared, the lead Sea Demon powerhouse shrieked in anger!

...

Inside the No. 001 detached villa at Modu Martial University.

Lin Chen sat up from his bed.

He checked his panel.

[energy points] 128,000

After thinking for a moment, he immediately poured it all into upgrading the sword formation!

[Cultivation Technique] Nine Yang Divine Thunder Sword Formation: Minor Achievement (128,000 / 500,000)

He checked the time; there was still over half an hour until the 8:00 AM assembly.

Lin Chen ate a quick breakfast and strolled toward the training ground.

Every class at Modu Martial University has an exclusive training ground used for training and sparring with Martial Skills.

There were already many people there when Lin Chen arrived.

"Lin Chen, you're here."

Duan Peng spotted Lin Chen's arrival immediately.

"Eh, you've had a Breakthrough!"

Duan Peng looked at Lin Chen in surprise.

"I was lucky enough to have a Breakthrough last night."

Lin Chen laughed.

"Lin Chen, what grade of Purple Mansion did you condense to have a Breakthrough so quickly!"

Duan Peng asked with a serious expression.

"I got lucky, it's Grade Nine."

Lin Chen smiled.

"Nine... Grade Nine! That's truly monstrous."

"You really live up to being an SSS-rank Genius. I'm still struggling to open my acupoints; the further you go, the harder the acupoints are to open."

Duan Peng sighed and said.

At this time.

Several people from the crowd walked over.

One of them, a youth with long black hair, said in a contemptuous tone:

"So you're Lin Chen."

Lin Chen looked at this group; seeing they had ill intentions, he frowned slightly.

"That's me. Is there something you need?"

The long-haired youth continued arrogantly:

"Do you know Chen Mo? He's my younger brother, and you've ruined his plans."

"He asked me to take good care of you."

Lin Chen couldn't help but be speechless.

It was that weirdo Chen Mo again.

"I don't care who your brother is, leave me alone."

Lin Chen said quietly.

"Good kid, thinking you're superior just because you got into Class S."

One of them said mockingly.

"Class S is all about strength. Even if we beat you up, the main class teacher won't say anything."

"If you want to enjoy the resources in Class S, you'd better keep a low profile."

The long-haired youth also released the Aura of a Late Stage Martial Master.

"What do you want! Are you bullying us because our Realm is low!"

Duan Peng shouted from the side.

"You're from the Duan Family, right."

"For the sake of your Family, get lost now, or I'll deal with you too."

One of the group barked.

"You...!"

Seeing this, Duan Peng was furious; he suddenly pulled a large axe from his back, preparing to fight.

Lin Chen pressed down on Duan Peng's shoulder and said:

"I'll handle this myself; you step back."

Duan Peng hesitated upon hearing this, but still stepped back.

He knew Lin Chen's true strength.

"Yo, what's this? A Martial Master at the Early Stage wants to fight us?"

The long-haired youth laughed loudly.

Others in Class S in the distance noticed the scene, but they didn't say anything.

Chen Hai's Family is the most powerful Family in Modu; they couldn't afford to offend them.

"You talk too much!"

In the next second, Lin Chen directly unleashed his Purple Lightning Domain!

Boom!

The terrifying Domain instantly enveloped everyone present!

The others from Class S in the distance all had drastic changes in their expressions, looking at Lin Chen in shock.

"A Domain...!"

"How can you have mastered a Domain!"

"You're a Mentalist!"

Chen Hai and the others shouted in terror.

Lin Chen ignored their shouting.

Countless purple lightning bolts within the Domain pressed down on them.

"I was wrong, Young Master Lin, please spare me."

Someone was so scared they knelt on the ground.

"Useless trash!"

Chen Hai kicked the person beside him away.

Resisting the pressure of the Domain, he threw a punch at Lin Chen.

The force of the punch brought up a large expanse of flames.

Blazing Fist!

An Earth Rank Advanced fist technique.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

His figure flashed and vanished from where he stood.

Bam!

Chen Hai's punch missed, leaving a large crater in the ground, and the entire area was scorched black.

Suddenly, countless purple lightning bolts struck down toward Chen Hai.

Lin Chen had already arrived at Chen Hai's side and drew his blade to slash!

Boom!

Chen Hai's expression was filled with horror; he couldn't dodge in time.

He was first severely injured and knocked to the ground by the terrifying purple lightning, and then struck in the back by the blade.

Pfft!

Chen Hai spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted immediately.

Lin Chen glanced at the fallen Chen Hai and retracted his Domain.

At this moment.

The bearded Lu Hui suddenly appeared on the scene, as if teleporting.

He first checked Chen Hai's injuries, then said to the people who were with Chen Hai:

"Take him to the infirmary."

The group tremblingly carried Chen Hai away.

Lu Hui turned his head and nodded at Lin Chen:

"Not bad, not bad. You really did condense a Grade Nine Purple Mansion."

Seeing that Lu Hui didn't mention him injuring Chen Hai, Lin Chen smiled and said:

"Teacher Lu, it was just luck."

Lu Hui laughed happily:

"You kid, you have no idea how rare a Grade Nine Purple Mansion is."

Then Lu Hui said in a loud, resonant voice:

"Assemble."

Immediately, all the Class S students gathered around.
