343: The new genius on the Supreme List!

After Lin Chen entered seclusion, all the trial-takers on the continent also began their challenges.

They didn't hold out hope of successfully challenging, only wanting to witness the demeanor of a Supreme Ranking Prodigy...

The time flow in the Statue Space was very slow; a few hours inside were only a few seconds outside.

When these trial-takers challenged, if they encountered a Supreme Ranking Prodigy with a better temper, he would even offer them some pointers.

For them, this was the best opportunity.

Ji Changkong and Fang Yong also took turns challenging the supreme ranking list.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Suddenly, a startling change occurred!

The statue ranked 7600 erupted with dazzling golden light, and after the light faded, a new face appeared.

The Supreme Ranking Prodigies ranked after 7600 all automatically shifted down one place.

In this generation, a new Supreme Ranking Prodigy was born!

Boom—

The entire continent was in an uproar!

All the trial-takers temporarily stopped their challenges.

They all released their true spirit and looked at that statue.

There, a young man wearing purple battle armor and carrying a greatsword on his back stood.

A terrifying aura emanated from his body.

The young man's Realm was the same as Lin Chen's, both at the Half-step Eternal Realm early stage.

"It's him! I know this person, his name is Meng Tianxing, he's from our District 36. I didn't expect him to be so terrifying, actually able to defeat a Supreme Ranking Prodigy!"

"This generation of ours is extraordinary. You know, the supreme ranking list hasn't been successfully challenged in a million years."

"You say, this Meng Tianxing and that bandit are both in the same Realm. Who is more powerful between the two?"

"Although I detest that bandit leader, I have to admit he's too strong, unless this Meng Tianxing can also defeat a Supreme Ranking Prodigy in the top hundred..."

"..."

At this moment, Meng Tianxing, who had just successfully challenged, had an arrogant expression. He used 8 challenge opportunities in a row before finally encountering an opponent who was slightly weaker than him.

He endured a fierce battle in the Statue Space and finally defeated his opponent.

Now he still had one chance left. He glanced at Lin Chen, ranked 50th, and sighed slightly.

Previously, he had also tried to challenge the Supreme Ranking Prodigies in the top hundred, but he was no match at all...

With one challenge opportunity remaining, he looked at Lin Chen's statue, a hint of fighting intent flashing in his eyes.

He clearly regarded Lin Chen as a very important opponent.

"The higher the ranking, the better the opportunity. For my last challenge opportunity, I'll try for the top five thousand!"

He then selected a statue and flew towards it rapidly.

Just as Meng Tianxing arrived at that statue, another statue suddenly erupted with dazzling light.

"Hahaha, I succeeded! I succeeded!"

A rough voice shook the heavens and earth. All the trial-takers were startled and looked over.

They saw a Human Strongman with a tiger head and human body, whose muscles bulged all over, excitedly shouting while holding a spiked club.

"It's a Beastman Race! Another non-human race has appeared on the supreme ranking list!"

"This is... ranked 4806! Much higher than Meng Tianxing's ranking!"

"What's wrong with this generation? Supreme Ranking Prodigies are appearing one after another."

"The Beastman Race are all proficient in body cultivation. This Human Strongman's vital energy and blood are terrifying. I guess his Golden Body Realm has already broken through to the pseudo-Eternal Realm!"

Hiss—

Many trial-takers were shocked upon hearing this, gasping in cold air.

"Pseudo-Eternal Realm Golden Body! How is that possible!"

"How many resources would that require!"

"I know this Beastman Race. His name is Hu Yan, and he's from our District 926!"

"This Hu Yan is extremely warlike, and comparable to that bandit Lin Chen. He robbed everyone in our District 926!"

"Last time his Golden Body Realm hadn't broken through. It must have just broken through during this seclusion!"

This trial-taker whispered, his eyes full of jealousy.

After he finished speaking, not only District 926, but also trial-takers from District 86 jumped out to complain, which immediately resonated.

The trial-takers in their district were equally miserable; first, they were robbed by Hu Yan, and after arriving here, they were robbed by Lin Chen again...

At this moment, Hu Yan was holding a giant spiked club. He seemed to sense that many trial-takers were talking about him behind his back.

Boom—

Hu Yan's gaze swept around, and he suddenly roared, a terrifying Physical Strength aura soaring into the sky.

Then, he grinned, revealing his white tiger fangs, and domineeringly shouted:

"I want to 'borrow' some equipment from you. Since we've met, this small request isn't too much, is it?"

"It's okay if you don't have any. Ten thousand Emperor-grade pieces of equipment can be exchanged for one eternal treasure artifact!"

"If you don't 'lend' it, you're looking down on me..."

Bang!

Hu Yan slammed his spiked club onto the ground, causing the entire continent to shake violently.

All the trial-takers glared angrily at this sight, but not one dared to resist.

At this time, Ji Changkong had just finished his challenge, and he happened to witness this scene.

"What's going on here..."

After he and Fang Yong understood what had happened, he was first shocked that another Supreme Ranking Prodigy had appeared, and then his face was full of black lines...

Meng Tianxing looked at the Human Strongman of the Beastman Race with apprehension, then he directly entered the Statue Space.

Subsequently, the entire continent echoed with waves of lamentations...

In the Martial Dao Space, Lin Chen was unaware that two more Supreme Ranking Prodigies had been born after he entered seclusion.

At this moment, he was at a critical juncture in his Grandmist Great Dao breakthrough.

Previously, he had swallowed all eternal treasure artifacts below the Saint-grade through the system.

This allowed him to directly gain 79.85 quadrillion Energy Points!

Lin Chen's current seclusion would last for about 2 epochs.

Such a vast amount of Energy Points was completely enough for him to splurge!

Previously, his Grandmist Great Dao had a comprehension of 99% at the Creation Level, and the last 1% was a huge bottleneck.

Lin Chen spent 10 quadrillion Energy Points just to break through this bottleneck with the help of the system!

During the breakthrough, he also initiated a system upgrade.

The system upgrade required 1000 quadrillion Energy Points, and he had more than enough!

Boom—

Just then, the Martial Dao Space suddenly shook, and Lin Chen's comprehension of the Creation Level Grandmist Great Dao finally reached perfection!

After reaching perfection, the basic Great Dao power of the Grandmist Great Dao directly skyrocketed several times over!

"Next is to comprehend a trace of the Eternal Level Great Dao."

Lin Chen thought about comprehending 0.1% of the Eternal Level Grandmist Great Dao.

The next moment, the system panel flashed, and 100 quadrillion Energy Points were consumed instantly.

Lin Chen stared blankly at the system panel.

Although he was prepared that the Energy Points consumed by an Eternal Level Great Dao would be terrifying, this was too terrifying!

This made Lin Chen, who had just received a huge amount of Energy Points, instantly lose his composure.

After a long time, Lin Chen regained his senses.

"Pay-to-win truly lives up to its name. To break through quickly, one must pay far more resources than normally required for a breakthrough..."

"In the future, I should collect more rare treasures that enhance comprehension..."

Lin Chen sighed, then immersed himself in the breakthrough...

One thousand years later.

Numerous strange phenomena suddenly arose in the Martial Dao Space. Lin Chen's body floated in mid-air, with wisps of grayish-white airflow coiling around him.

Lin Chen excitedly looked at the system panel.

Lin Chen found that this system upgrade only showed changes in the Great Dao Combat Skill Deduction column.

This meant that this time he could deduce Creation Level mid-stage battle skills!

"And those few secret techniques can also be upgraded again."

After those secret techniques were upgraded, Lin Chen's combat power would receive an all-round boost!

"Let's begin!"

Lin Chen first consumed 940 quadrillion Energy Points to upgrade his Golden Body Realm, and then began to upgrade his secret techniques and battle skills...
