336: That's all

“Only ten chances to challenge?”

Lin Chen calmly gazed at the tens of thousands of statues before him.

“The true combat power of these trial-takers might vary greatly…”

“In each session, only a few trial-takers truly have the threshold to challenge. Ten chances are too few. Some Supreme Ranking Prodigies in the middle ranks might rarely be challenged.”

“As a result, the Supreme Ranking Prodigies ranked lower might not necessarily be weaker than those ranked higher!”

“Because there are only ten chances to challenge, the opportunity for trial and error is too small. The gap between prodigies at this level is generally very small.”

“Often, it’s just a difference of a move or two, and it might take a long time to determine a winner…”

Lin Chen instantly understood some of the rules of the supreme ranking list.

Then, with a thought, his consciousness communicated with the intelligent assistant of the Black Tower.

Soon, he learned the method to challenge the supreme ranking list.

In fact, each of these tens of thousands of statues contains its own space.

The statues were refined by the Lord of the Black Tower and can perfectly replicate the true combat power of the Supreme Ranking Prodigies they represent.

Of course, this does not include weapons!

Challenges on the supreme ranking list only allow the use of weapons of the same Realm as oneself.

Like Lin Chen, he can use weapons of the Half-step Eternal Realm level.

Weapons of this grade are called pseudo-eternal treasure artifacts!

If there are no corresponding weapons, the Black Tower will provide them… In addition, these statues only allow one trial-taker to challenge at a time.

The flow of time inside the Statue Space is very fast, just like in the Origin Chamber, both have a million-fold time acceleration.

So, even if so many trial-takers queue up to challenge a statue, it won't take much time.

“Lin Chen, which ranked prodigy on the supreme ranking list are you preparing to challenge?”

At this moment, Ji Changkong walked up to Lin Chen and asked.

He had also been studying these tens of thousands of statues earlier, but he found that with his current Great Emperor Ninth Level cultivation, he had no chance of winning against any of the statues… “No rush, there’s no time limit for this assessment anyway.”

“Let them test the waters first.”

“Look, isn’t someone going up?”

Lin Chen looked in one direction, towards the statue ranked ten thousandth.

The one challenging this statue was a human youth in black battle armor, and his Realm was Mid-stage Half-step Eternal Realm!

The youth walked with a relaxed stride, full of confidence.

He glanced indifferently at the many trial-takers, a hint of arrogance in his expression.

Ji Changkong couldn't help but look over, and after sensing the powerful aura of the youth, he looked shocked.

“Lin Chen, this person’s aura is so strong, I see he’s at least Mid-stage Half-step Eternal Realm.”

“How terrifying! I estimate he has a very high chance of succeeding in his challenge.”

Lin Chen shook his head slightly at the words, saying:

“It’s difficult… and this ten thousandth rank is not that simple…”

Ji Changkong nodded thoughtfully.

Currently, this youth in black battle armor was the first to challenge the supreme ranking list, and all the trial-takers silently waited, understanding each other.

Buzz—

A ripple swept through, and the youth instantly disappeared, while the ten thousandth statue turned gray.

In just a few seconds, the gray statue flickered and returned to its original state.

The youth in black battle armor reappeared in his previous position.

At this moment, the youth’s face was pale, and his body trembled slightly, as if he had experienced something terrifying.

All the trial-takers who saw this scene showed looks of horror, their eyes filled with disbelief.

“So fast? Was he instantly killed?”

“This person’s Realm has reached Mid-stage Half-step Eternal Realm, so he shouldn’t have been instantly killed. The time flow in the Statue Space is very fast, perhaps he has already been fighting for a long time inside…”

“Even a monstrous talent like him failed the challenge… How can anyone else live…”

Lin Chen slowly withdrew his gaze; in fact, he had long anticipated this scene.

A fighting intent slowly rose from his heart, and then he flashed to the ten thousandth statue.

“This fiend is about to make his move. Do you think he can succeed in the challenge?”

“That monstrous talent at Mid-stage Half-step Eternal Realm just failed the challenge, I think he’s just going to humiliate himself by going now…”

The trial-takers from District 86 all had schadenfreude expressions at this moment.

They were already displeased that Lin Chen had snatched an eternal treasure artifact from them, so they certainly didn't want Lin Chen to succeed in his challenge.

“Look, someone else is challenging this statue, but looking at his Realm, it seems even lower than the person just now…”

“Is he here to make a fool of himself…”

“He’s probably trying to show off in front of everyone…”

“The real big shots haven’t even made their move yet, and he’s already impatient… It’ll be interesting when he makes a big mess.”

Some nearby trial-takers laughed mockingly; they had no hope of challenging themselves, so they were happy to see others fail as well.

This is human nature… Lin Chen's gaze coldly swept over the group of people, and a terrifying killing intent permeated the air.

Immediately, the faces of those trial-takers stiffened, as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they dared not speak again.

The youth who had failed the challenge earlier had also not left; he glanced at Lin Chen in surprise but said nothing more.

Lin Chen looked at the statue before him; it was a young Man in Green Robe holding a long spear, with an invincible confidence revealed between his brows.

Those with weak willpower even dared not look directly at this statue.

“Indeed, there’s something to it…”

Lin Chen chuckled softly, and a wisp of true spirit extended out, touching the statue.

The next moment, a ripple swept over him, and his figure was instantly drawn into the Statue Space.

Upon arriving in the Statue Space, Lin Chen immediately released his true spirit.

He discovered that this was a suspended arena in the void, and in the distance, a Man in Green Robe sat cross-legged, a long spear standing beside him.

Just then, a light screen appeared, displaying various weapons.

Lin Chen’s expression stirred, and he selected a long saber; this long saber was of the pseudo-eternal treasure artifact level.

Buzz—

The light screen disappeared, and the distant figure slowly opened his eyes. He indifferently swept his gaze over Lin Chen and shook his head slightly.

“How boring, even weaker than the last one. A Half-step Eternal Realm at the initial stage also comes to challenge me?”

Hmm?

Lin Chen’s pupils constricted; did these prodigies in the Statue Space have independent consciousness?

This makes it interesting.

He thought the Statue Space merely replicated the combat power of these prodigies, but he didn't expect even their consciousness to be replicated.

Opponents with consciousness can truly unleash their full combat power!

The next moment, Lin Chen no longer hesitated; he knew that the person before him was not easy to deal with.

The opponent might have also comprehended a Supreme Level Great Dao!

Boom—

A purple-gold light soared from Lin Chen’s body, and then a terrifying phantom of an ancient fierce beast reappeared behind him.

His Physical Strength began to surge rapidly!

This wasn’t over; his 71 clones appeared, directly forming a battle formation.

Lin Chen, holding a long saber, came to the center of the battle formation.

The Man in Green Robe in the distance’s eyelids twitched wildly; he looked at Lin Chen with an expression of disbelief.

“This is… the purple-gold bloodline!”

“And what is that phantom, a body technique?”

He knew that this time, he had encountered a true opponent.

Immediately, he burst into laughter and soared into the sky.

“Good! Good! Good! I can’t remember how many years it’s been, I’ve finally met an opponent with some strength!”

Then, a golden bloodline power erupted within him, and his physical aura also began to surge rapidly.

Lin Chen watched this scene with a calm expression; he found that this person’s Golden Body Realm was also Yuan Grade Twelve Forging.

Even when his bloodline aura erupted, it was only 30 million Yuan power.

Just then, Lin Chen noticed a dazzling blue electric light erupting around the person, and his Physical Strength began to soar again.

Creation Level initial stage body technique?

Lin Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted; this was the first time he had seen someone display such a high-level body technique!

If a Creation Level initial stage body technique was added, the opponent’s physical combat power would increase by 40 times, which is 90 million Yuan power.

However, there was still a significant gap with him; his Physical Strength was currently 135 million Yuan power!

Looking at the blue lightning erupting from the opponent’s body, Lin Chen couldn’t help but wonder if this body technique was created by the opponent himself or by his backing force… “Kid, your bloodline power is good, but that’s all it is…”

The next moment, Lin Chen saw a long spear thrusting towards him. Instantly, his aura was locked, and the entire sky darkened.

A deathly aura lingered in Lin Chen’s heart.

Lin Chen was once again shocked; if he hadn’t misperceived it, this was a Creation-Level Battle Technique!

However, the Great Dao the opponent displayed did not seem to be a Supreme Level Great Dao… Although it wasn’t a Supreme Level Great Dao, it was a Great Dao that had comprehended a trace of Eternal profoundness, equally terrifying!

No, this spear strike was incredibly powerful. Lin Chen suspected that the opponent might also possess an ability similar to the Unity Secret Art, capable of amplifying the power of both body and weapon into the battle technique!

These thoughts flashed quickly through Lin Chen’s mind, and then he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Boom—

A terrifying saber domain instantly descended, and the power of the entire saber domain quickly condensed onto the long saber in his hand.

A saber light slashed out, splitting heaven and earth.

A spear and a saber collided!

At this moment, the void shattered inch by inch, and the two directly fell into a turbulent flow of time and space. A terrifying shockwave swept across the entire void arena.

After a long while, when everything returned to calm, Lin Chen looked up.

The distant Man in Green Robe was still there, but at this moment, he was extremely disheveled.

His body was cut in half by a single saber strike, and he continuously coughed up blood.

The Man in Green Robe stared at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“How… how is this possible!”

“You have comprehended a Supreme Level Great Dao!”

Lin Chen smiled slightly at the sight, saying:

“I admit you are very strong, Martial and Body Dual Cultivation, your body technique and battle technique are both heaven-defying.”

“Unfortunately, that’s all it is…”
