157: Defeat Wang Chen and take first place!

Wang Chen said frankly, “If you can truly defeat me, what’s the harm in giving you the top spot?”

Lin Yuan smiled, “In that case, I’ll take the number one spot on the Heaven Ranking.”

Hearing such arrogant words, Wang Chen also laughed, “Junior Brother Lin is so confident. Then, as your Senior Brother, I must properly witness just how impressive your strength truly is.”

The two began to circulate their Qi and release their essence, causing their sleeves to flutter without wind.

The Disciples consciously retreated, clearing a large open space in the square.

“Junior Brother, your Realm is Condensing Core Realm sixth level, right? Then I will also suppress my cultivation to the sixth level to fight you.”

“Senior Brother, there’s no need for that. Just use your full strength.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.

There is a considerable gap in the Condensing Core Realm even with a small difference in Realm, let alone a three-level difference between the two.

Furthermore, Wang Chen was not an ordinary Condensing Core Realm ninth level Cultivator, but at the Peak of the ninth level.

This level of cultivation was enough to crush a Condensing Core Realm sixth level Cultivator.

Lin Yuan dared to accept the challenge with such a gap. Where did he get such confidence?

Wang Chen was also stunned, “Junior Brother, are you sure I don’t need to suppress my cultivation?”

Lin Yuan nodded, “Yes, if I win while you suppress your cultivation, it wouldn’t be a fair victory.”

“Alright, then it shall be as you wish.”

Since the other party looked down on him so much, Wang Chen was naturally annoyed and immediately summoned a long spear to attack!

“Flaming Fiend Spear! This is a Thousand-Pattern Spiritual Artifact, and its power is quite strong!”

“Senior Apprentice Brother Wang is using this spear from the start. It seems he’s getting serious!”

“Although Senior Apprentice Brother Wang is not a Yunbing Peak Disciple, his spear techniques are quite impressive. Junior Brother Lin is likely not his match.”

Everyone spoke one after another, with most not favoring the young man.

However, Lin Yuan remained calm and composed, clenching his fist and striking forward.

“Tongbei Fist!”

“Bang bang bang bang bang!”

Accompanied by five pulsating sounds, astonishing Fist Intent broke through the air and attacked the enemy!

Wang Chen wielded his long spear, drawing a Spear Intent that broke the opponent’s Fist Intent.

Although he successfully neutralized this attack, he still took half a step back.

So strong!

He secretly exclaimed in his heart, and his gaze immediately became serious.

“Bang bang bang!”

Lin Yuan continued to unleash Fist Intent, which he blocked one by one.

“Junior Brother Lin, your fist technique is good, but unfortunately, it’s only brute force with no skill. Let me teach you what truly powerful Martial Skill is!”

Wang Chen let out a long roar, and a ball of flames erupted from the spear, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply!

“Flaming Python Demon Slaying Spear!”

The man gripped his spear and thrust it forward, and a brilliant fiery glow shot out from the spear tip, mixed with a fiery python phantom, incinerating the moisture in the Void Realm and firmly locking onto the enemy!

Lin Yuan showed no fear, calmly saying, “I just finished refining a leg technique, so I’ll use this battle to test it out.”

As he spoke, he soared into the air, and lightning power condensed on his leg, emitting a crackling sound.

“Electric Light Pulse Kick!”

He bent his left leg, straightened his right leg, and his figure sped diagonally downwards, carrying three streaks of lightning, directly confronting the fiery glow!

“Bang!”

The intense flames were suddenly neutralized, and Lin Yuan’s speed did not decrease as he continued to advance!

Wang Chen’s pupils constricted, and he quickly held his spear horizontally to block.

“Clang!”

This kick landed on the spear shaft, and a terrifying force was fully delivered, sending him flying backward in an arc through the air before he heavily slammed onto the ground.

“Pfft!”

Wang Chen spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face filled with disbelief.

He lost!

He actually lost!

This is impossible!

The spear technique he used was a Profound Rank Advanced Martial Skill, and when fully unleashed, almost no one in the Condensing Core Realm could match it.

Yet, it was broken by a Condensing Core Realm sixth level Junior!

Was the opponent’s strength truly this formidable?

“He won! Senior Brother Lin won!”

“Defeating an enemy with a three-level difference in minor Realm, Senior Brother Lin is too fierce!”

“As expected of the Sect Master’s Disciple!”

“Senior Brother Lin is so handsome! I want to have his babies!”

Everyone cheered continuously, and the young female Disciples were all excited, their eyes filled with admiration and respect.

They understood that from now on, the number one position on the Heaven Ranking had officially changed hands.

Lin Yuan had also proven himself through this battle; the Sect Master’s judgment was correct!

He would become the new generation’s leader of the Sect in the future!

“Senior Brother Wang, thank you for the concession.”

Lin Yuan landed from the air, cupped his hands towards the other party, his expression remaining calm, as if defeating the opponent was not something to be happy about, but rather a matter of course.

In the previous half-month, by refining the remaining two yaolei beads, he successfully unleashed three streaks of Electric Light Pulse Kick, and with the amplification of his Divine Vein, its power was infinitely close to Earth Rank low-level Martial Skill, capable of fighting Qi Gathering Realm experts.

The opponent was naturally no match for him.

“Cough cough…”

Wang Chen covered his chest and stood up, his face complex as he said, “Junior Brother’s strength is formidable. This time, I overestimated myself.”

“Senior Brother is too modest. Your strength is not weak either.”

“Hehe, still far inferior to Junior Brother.”

He gave a self-deprecating smile, looked at the black-robed girl, and continued, “I understand now, Senior Sister, why you favor Junior Brother Lin.”

Mo Konglan said lightly, “It’s good that you understand.”

She was not surprised by the outcome of this battle.

If Lin Yuan couldn’t even defeat this person, then he wouldn’t be someone she valued.

Wang Chen put away his long spear, and with a determined expression, he said, “Even so, I will not give up on pursuing Senior Sister. I believe that with my talent, one day I will still have the chance to surpass Junior Brother Lin and win your favor.”

After speaking, he glanced at the man again and quickly flashed away.

In response, Lin Yuan shrugged, helplessly saying, “That battle just now made Senior Sister laugh.”

“Junior Brother is joking. Your divine performance just now was unexpected even for me. I reckon it won’t be long, perhaps a few years, until even I, Senior Sister, won’t be your match.”

“Senior Sister, you flatter me. Although Junior Brother is strong, how can he compare to you?”

The two complimented each other for a while, then Mo Konglan said seriously, “Alright, Junior Brother, it’s almost time for us to depart.”

“Hmm, directly to Hidden Sword Manor?”

“Before we go, let’s meet up with Senior Brother Zhao and the others.”

“Senior Brother Zhao?”

“Senior Brother Zhao of Yunbing Peak, don’t you know him?”

“My apologies, I’m not very familiar with the experts of the inner Sect.”

Lin Yuan showed an apologetic expression.

Mo Konglan explained, “Senior Brother Zhao’s name is Zhao Feng. His cultivation is at the Qi Gathering Realm fifth level, and he has comprehended third-grade Sword Intent. He is also a direct descendant of the Zhao family, and his status in Yunbing Peak is second only to the Peak Lord.”

Third-grade Sword Intent!

Lin Yuan’s expression changed.

Only by Cultivating the Dao of the sword to a certain degree can one comprehend Sword Intent.

The difficulty involved is considerable.

Zhao Feng not only comprehended it but also reached the third-grade level, which indicates his extremely high attainment in the Dao of the sword!

He’s an extraordinary Prodigy!

Amidst his surprise, when he heard about the other party’s background, his expression couldn’t help but become strange.

A direct descendant of the Zhao family, could he be Lianer’s older brother?

He had forcefully taken the other party’s younger sister, how should he face this future brother-in-law?

Mo Konglan saw what he was thinking and chuckled as she transmitted her voice, “Junior Brother, are you worried that Senior Brother Zhao will target you?”

“What do you mean by that, Senior Sister?”

“I already know about Junior Sister Zhao and your matter.”

“What!?”

Lin Yuan’s heart trembled.

What’s wrong with that girl?

Didn’t they agree to keep this a secret?
