500: Chapter 53 Can healing illnesses make people stronger?

"I know, brother, I'm sorry! This brat insulted me first!"

Kelier argued aggrievedly.

Renador quickly ran to Luon's side.

"Luon, are you okay?"

Luon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly stood up.

He just stared coldly at the youth who had hit him.

He didn't say a single word.

He knew he was no match for the opponent.

If he acted impulsively, he might implicate Lu Chen.

So, he silently walked back to the line and stood in place again.

Renador also hurriedly followed him.

Kelier let out a smug sneer.

"That's more like it. If you know what's good for you, stay put. But remember this: this woman is mine, and you are going to die here today! How dare you humiliate me in front of so many people!"

However, just then...

*Bang!*

The youth who had just injured Luon was kicked flying like a ragdoll.

He slammed heavily onto the ground.

He lost consciousness on the spot, his fate unknown.

Everyone was stunned.

Their eyes all turned toward the person who had struck.

It was actually a child who looked only about ten years old.

Despite his young age, his appearance was impeccably handsome.

"You think you can lay a hand on my person? Touch him, and I will make you vanish from this world completely."

Lu Chen's voice was bone-chillingly cold, devoid of any emotion.

Luon watched the scene before him, his mouth agape in shock.

"Just how strong is Lu Chen?"

This thought and question echoed wildly in his mind.

He had previously thought that he had already surpassed Lu Chen.

After all, he had never seen Lu Chen Cultivate; he only saw him healing people every day.

"Can healing people also make one stronger?"

"Who is this youth? How can he be so powerful?"

Everyone was shocked, and a commotion broke out.

Lu Chen had actually been following Luon all along.

Worried about his younger brother, he had followed quietly.

He had seen everything that just happened.

He had originally wanted to see how Luon would handle it, so he didn't act immediately.

But seeing Luon choose to endure and back down...

Lu Chen knew it was time for him to step in.

Lu Chen's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of Kelier with astonishing speed.

"The killing intent in your eyes is directed at him, isn't it? You want to kill him?"

Lu Chen's gaze fell on Kelier, his eyes cold.

Kelier met Lu Chen's temperatureless eyes.

He was so terrified that he wet his pants on the spot.

His eyes rolled back, and he fainted directly.

Lu Chen turned to look at Luon and offered a slight smile.

"Well done."

Hearing this simple praise from Lu Chen, a strong sense of pride surged in Luon's heart.

"As expected of my idol, he's always the most powerful!"

Luon thought with immense pride.

Just then...

An aged voice rang out.

"Young friend, may this old man ask for your honorable name?"

When the crowd saw the white robe the old man was wearing, they all bowed in greeting.

This person was indeed from the Heavens Mandate Sect.

Lu Chen smiled slightly at the old man.

"This Junior is Lu Chen."

The old man nodded, his tone very kind.

"Young friend, would you be willing to join my Heavens Mandate Sect? This old man can make an exception and accept you as a Core Disciple right now."

"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"This Junior is but a Healer with no other skills. Furthermore, I have always preferred a free and unfettered life and do not wish to join any faction. However, this person beside me is my younger brother. He possesses the Purple Sword Dao Saint Talent; your sect might consider recruiting him."

Lu Chen's words were no different from dropping three heavy bombshells.

First, he actually rejected the position of Core Disciple that countless people dreamed of.

Second, he said he was just a Healer, yet the strength he had just displayed was terrifyingly shocking.

How could a Healer possess such formidable power?

Third, the youth who was just sent flying by a punch actually possessed the Purple Sword Dao Saint Talent!

One should know that a Purple Talent is the Peak among talents of the same Rank!

The old man was also dumbfounded and shocked by what he heard.

He looked at Luon and took out a Miniature Crystal Ball from his robes.

"Young man, try placing your hand on this."

Luon did as told and placed his palm on it.

In an instant...

The crystal ball erupted with a brilliant and dazzling deep purple light, blindingly bright.

Clearly, his talent Rank had reached the Peak of the Purple Talent!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The old man said "good" three times in a row and laughed heartily.

"From this day forward, you are an Inner Sect Disciple of my Heavens Mandate Sect!"

Then...

He looked at the two unconscious brothers on the ground, his gaze instantly turning cold.

"Drag these two useless pieces of trash out! Don't let them embarrass themselves here and break the rules of the examination!"

Renador looked at Lu Chen and Luon.

Her eyes were filled with shock, as if she were looking at two monsters.

That shy youth who had been punched flying just now to protect her actually possessed the Purple Sword Dao Saint Talent?

And that youth with god-like medical skills, his strength was actually terrifying to such an extent?

The old man looked at Lu Chen again, his tone becoming even kinder.

"Young friend, will you really not reconsider?"
