38: Behead!

In the ninth floor of the Martial Hall.

Before Lin Chen could even catch his breath.

A terrifying domain descended!

The heatwave just now was merely the natural aura emanating from a Tier 3 late-stage Fire Scale Finch.

The domain contained two fused fire powers.

Compared to a domain with only one Law Power, its might increased tenfold!

Moreover, it was a domain formed from perfected Laws!

Lin Chen felt as if his entire body was in an oven.

The Azure Wood Body Tempering Method’s effect was negligible.

But thankfully.

The perfected Law of Life prevented Lin Chen from being instantly incinerated.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Whoosh!

A Formless Thunder Needle, several times larger than before, shot out.

Soundlessly.

It instantly reached near the Fire Scale Finch’s head.

Just like last time.

A fire barrier appeared again on the Fire Scale Finch’s head.

However, this time, the Law Power and Mental Energy contained in the Formless Thunder Needle were more than ten times stronger than before!

Sizzle—

The fire barrier only held for a moment.

Chirp—

The Fire Scale Finch let out a pained cry.

Its mind suffered a heavy blow, and even its Fire Domain became unstable!

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

Now’s the chance.

Boom—

The enhanced Mental Storm Domain descended!

126 flying swords formed a sword array, transforming into streaks of light and heading towards the Fire Scale Finch.

And Lin Chen also wielded his long saber, striking repeatedly!

Boom boom boom—

The Fire Scale Finch’s mind was injured at this moment.

Coupled with the enhanced Mental Storm Domain continuing to wreak havoc in its mind.

It made no defensive moves against Lin Chen’s attacks.

Splat splat splat!

Instantly, blood splattered in sheets.

Chirp—

The Fire Scale Finch’s body was injured, and its consciousness recovered a sliver.

A sharp claw reached out towards Lin Chen.

The terrifying fire fluctuations made Lin Chen’s heart skip a beat.

If he took that claw, he would definitely be torn to shreds!

The next moment, Lin Chen took a step, instantly retreating several hundred meters away.

Bang!

Several deep furrows appeared on the ground.

Seeing the Fire Scale Finch gradually recover, and its Fire Domain stabilize.

Lin Chen, however, smiled slightly.

Whoosh!

Another Formless Thunder Needle shot out.

The Fire Scale Finch’s expression was terrified.

It immediately used a fire barrier to defend.

Unfortunately.

It was still the same as before.

Seeing this, Lin Chen continued to fight with full power, constantly attacking the Fire Scale Finch.

In this way, Lin Chen used the Formless Thunder Needle attack three times in a row.

Finally.

Bang!

The Fire Scale Finch fell to the ground, slowly transforming into specks of light and disappearing.

Hoo~

Lin Chen let out a long breath.

That was really difficult.

“My attack methods are still too weak; I need to quickly improve the other cultivation methods.”

At this moment, outside.

In the Martial Hall’s first-floor lobby, two leaderboards flashed and updated.

Those waiting in the lobby.

Stared at the leaderboards dumbfounded, each one like a clay sculpture.

“Hi… Historical leaderboard and real-time leaderboard, both boards show one second place, one first place!”

Only to see the two leaderboards display—

Historical Record Martial Master Realm Martial Hall Leaderboard:

First Place: Wang Feiyu of the Military Department, cleared the ninth floor in 5 minutes.

Second Place: Lin Chen of Modu Martial University, cleared the ninth floor in 15 minutes.

...Real-time Leaderboard:

First Place: Lin Chen of Modu Martial University, cleared the ninth floor in 15 minutes.

Second Place: Jiang Nianyi of the Military Department, cleared the eighth floor in 60 minutes.

Hiss————

“A freshman clearing the ninth floor, this is too terrifying.”

“I heard Jiang Nianyi from the Military Department has been in the Martial Master Realm for three years!”

“I wonder if Lin Chen has a girlfriend; he looks quite handsome.”

The Martial Hall lobby was already packed with people at this moment.

Hearing that Lin Chen was going to challenge the ninth floor of the Martial Hall.

Many people wanted to witness this moment and join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen actually succeeded in the challenge.

At this time.

A purple figure also arrived at the Martial Hall lobby.

The person who came was Li Zixuan.

Her figure was graceful, and her beauty was unparalleled, immediately attracting the attention of many people.

“Junior sister, here to challenge the Martial Hall? Do you need a senior to explain the rules to you?”

Immediately, many people gathered around.

Li Zixuan, however, looked at the leaderboard.

Her eyes trembled slightly, then she gradually showed a smile.

“No need, thank you.”

Chen Mo was also in the crowd.

He looked at Lin Chen’s name, hanging high above.

On the surface, his expression was emotionless.

But deep down, endless jealousy surged.

At this moment, he also saw Li Zixuan, whom he had always pursued, smiling at the leaderboard, and his eyes couldn’t help but turn sinister.

“Bitch, sooner or later I will thoroughly ravage you!”

“Lin Chen, what’s the use of you being a genius? Li Zixuan is still mine.”

Chen Mo adjusted his emotions.

With a fake smile on his face, he walked towards Li Zixuan.

“Sister Xuan’er is only in the late-stage Martial Artist Realm, are you also coming to challenge the Martial Hall?”

Li Zixuan saw Chen Mo approaching.

Her expression immediately showed disgust.

The last hunt in the Other World had made her thoroughly aware of Chen Mo’s character.

“It has nothing to do with you.”

After speaking, Li Zixuan took her number tag and went upstairs.

“You…”

Chen Mo watched Li Zixuan leave.

His expression gradually twisted, and a brutal look appeared in his eyes… After Lin Chen successfully challenged the ninth floor, he went to try the Martial King-level Martial Hall.

The first floor was a Tier 3 late-stage beast of the Fire Scale Finch level.

And there were 10 of them!

His Formless Thunder Needle was a single-target attack.

So he decisively chose to exit the virtual world.

Arriving in the lobby.

Lin Chen walked directly to the credit exchange counter.

“Teacher, I’d like to exchange credits.”

The teacher at this moment looked at Lin Chen with great respect.

Anyone who could clear the ninth floor of the Martial Hall.

Their future achievements would at least be that of a Martial Emperor!

Martial Emperor powerhouses.

They were overlord-level existences in the entire Blue Star Human Federation, and even in the Other World!

“Okay, please wait a moment, I’ll exchange them for you now.”

At this time.

A burly man walked over and put his arm around Lin Chen’s shoulder.

“Lin Chen, you’re really amazing.”

“I just advanced to the Martial Master Realm, and you’ve already cleared the last floor of the Martial Hall.”

Lin Chen turned his head.

He found Duan Peng grinning, a wide smile on his face.

Lin Chen had a good impression of Duan Peng.

He was straightforward, boisterous, and had no ill intentions.

“How many apertures have you opened? You’ve already broken through.”

Duan Peng’s face immediately fell upon hearing this.

“My dad prepared a batch of Tier 3 exotic fruit for me, but in the end, three apertures still couldn’t be opened.”

“There was no choice but to break through, and I condensed a sixth-grade Violet Mansion.”

Lin Chen twitched his nose.

A batch of Tier 3 exotic fruit.

Indeed.

Children of influential families were just that extravagant.

“A sixth-grade Violet Mansion is good enough. In the later stages, it mainly relies on Law comprehension. You can continue to spend money to comprehend Laws using Tier 3 life cores.”

Lin Chen said with a smile.

“My talent is Overlord Body, which is compatible with the Great Dao of Earth. Tier 3 life cores that also contain the Law of the Great Dao of Earth are hard to find.”

Duan Peng looked at Lin Chen with an expression of worship.

“My dad doesn’t have that much money for me to spend, I can’t compare to a monster like you.”

“Oh right, Lin Chen, we found an exotic fruit forest in the Other World, are you interested?”

exotic fruit forest?

Lin Chen was puzzled.

“But there are many Tier 2 Beasts guarding it. We’ve teamed up with a few senior students from Class S. If you come, our chances will be even greater.”

Duan Peng looked at Lin Chen expectantly.

Tier 2 Beasts?

“How many exotic fruit are there roughly.”

Hearing about exotic fruit, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

What he lacked most were energy points.

“A senior student from Class S is an Intermediate Spiritual Mind Master; he used his Mental Energy to investigate.”

“Preliminary estimates suggest there are hundreds, and even Tier 4 exotic fruit!”

Hundreds! Tier 4 exotic fruit?

Lin Chen’s heart burned with excitement.

It was worth a trip!

“What time are we going tomorrow?”

Duan Peng was overjoyed.

“Tomorrow morning at 10 AM, we’ll meet at the school’s Other World passage landing ship.”

Lin Chen nodded.

Then he exchanged all the 10 billion credits he received this time for aperture opening pills!

More than 3 million aperture opening pills.

This time, they actually had stock.

Upon asking, he found out.

It turned out Lu Hui had instructed them beforehand.

Knowing that he would come to exchange for aperture opening pills.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seemed that with his multiple large-batch purchases of aperture opening pills.

The school’s higher-ups had guessed something.

However, Lin Chen didn’t care.

As long as his strength improved quickly.

He would fear no one’s coveting.
