144: Chapter 144 Luo Xingchen shows off his power again

Chapter 144: Luo Xingchen Reappears and Unleashes His Power

Within the sect, he once defeated an outer sect deacon in the late Nascent Soul Realm with a single move, which was terrifying.

This time, representing the Hehuan Sect in the Grand Competition, he was also one of their most powerful disciples.

He was also the most promising disciple to win first place this time, without a doubt.

He was not yet seventeen, his cultivation was at the mid-Nascent Soul Realm, but his combat power far exceeded his cultivation.

He didn't even know the true combat power of this Junior Brother.

If Lin Yu were present at this moment, he would undoubtedly be extremely surprised.

Because the person before him was none other than Luo Xingchen, who had also been missing for a long time, and at this moment, there was no sign of any problems with Luo Xingchen's Dao Heart.

Most crucially, the aura he was emitting at this moment would definitely give Lin Yu a familiar feeling.

"Hahaha... Does your Hehuan Sect have no one left? You sent a child who hasn't even been weaned yet to participate!"

However, just as Luo Xingchen walked towards the testing divine pillar, Wang Yu's merciless mocking voice came.

"Noisy, scram!"

But, as soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xingchen's eyes changed, and he stepped forward, slapping Wang Yu with one hand.

At the same time, his other hand also slapped the testing divine pillar.

Bang~~

Wang Yu's tall figure flew out in response, and he crashed to the ground like a cannonball.

When he landed, he had already passed out, and blood continuously gushed from the corner of his mouth.

A deep palm print was left on his chest.

If it weren't for the fact that his aura could still be sensed, one would have thought he was directly killed by that palm.

And the testing divine pillar instantly lit up with a brilliant orange-yellow light.

Immediately after, a line of large characters appeared on the testing pillar.

[Extreme Combat Power: Nascent Soul Realm Peak.]

Hiss hiss hiss~~~

In an instant, there were sounds of gasps all around.

Everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

What did they see?

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth actually possessed peak Nascent Soul Realm combat power, just one step away from the Primordial Spirit.

To what extent was this abnormal?

Most importantly, this was just a casual strike from him.

A palm casually thrown out while beating someone.

His true combat power perhaps...

Unthinkable, truly unthinkable.

"He's terrifying, this strike could explode my Master. Is he even human!"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

They were here to participate in the Heaven's Chosen Grand Competition, but with someone who could explode their own elders appearing, what were they even competing for!

Even if this time was to test the level of talent, there was no need to compete anymore!

At such a young age, with such terrifying strength, how low could his talent be?

Their self-confidence was completely shattered.

However, fortunately, this time, besides the first place, other ranks could also receive various rewards from Lingxiao Pavilion, so there was still hope for contention.

As for first place, almost no one dared to even think about it.

Even the few heaven's chosen prodigies from the seven-grade forces, who were originally hiding in the crowd, lost their desire to test.

Testing alongside such a person was just to be a foil for them, and they were unwilling to lose face like that.

For a time, everyone's gaze was drawn to the young man's figure in front of the divine pillar.

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant and weak fellows!"

Luo Xingchen scanned the surroundings, muttering disdainfully in his heart.

If it were in the past, he might have been somewhat smug, after all, his achievements were definitely unparalleled in the Northern Region.

Moreover, the strike just now was not his full combat power. After breaking through his inner demon, his strength had greatly improved.

Most importantly, he had already ascended the Star Tower.

Although he did not reach the summit, he had already witnessed the power within, and he had gained quite a bit from it. Not only did his physique upgrade again, but even the cultivation technique he practiced was repaired by the power within.

Currently, he had received a comprehensive and significant improvement.

Although the Star Tower was not with him, he knew where it was, and there would be opportunities in the future.

As long as he won first place in this Grand Competition, his Master, An Ruosu, had promised him that she would definitely send him to a super sect in the Central Region for further study.

At that time, he would be able to improve even faster.

Surpassing Lin Yu would no longer be a dream.

That's right, at this moment, he had already set Lin Yu as a goal to pursue.

This was also the reason for his disdain just now.

In the eyes of others, he was already terrifying enough, but in his eyes, Lin Yu was the most terrifying one.

In the Lei Yan Territory, he personally witnessed Lin Yu instantly kill a Faxiang Realm cultivator.

This was more than a month ago.

This man had once become his inner demon, causing his Dao Heart to shatter.

Not only did he target him everywhere, but in the end, he even took away his mother, becoming an indelible nightmare in his heart.

Fortunately, with the help of his Master An Ruosu's Dao Heart Cleansing Pool, he successfully transformed Lin Yu from an inner demon into his goal, a goal he must defeat.

Thinking of Lin Yu, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Goal is goal, but his hatred for Lin Yu had not diminished at all.

He wished he could peel his skin and gnaw his flesh!

He could accept losing other things, including the women and opportunities he valued.

Only his mother, Chu Xi, was an indispensable part of his heart.

She was his spiritual sustenance.

But Lin Yu had cruelly taken away the only sustenance in his heart, which was an unforgivable hatred!

However, he knew himself well. The current him was not even as good as Lin Yu a month ago, let alone now.

Therefore, he had to leave the Northern Frontier as soon as possible, avoid Lin Yu, and go to a better environment in the Central Region to grow.

Only then could he achieve a sudden surge.

If Lin Yu knew Luo Xingchen had such thoughts, he would definitely be surprised by this guy's intelligence.

He was much stronger than that Ye Xuan, not just a little bit.

He also knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and 'make a fortune in silence'.

Most importantly, he had a good understanding of himself, unlike some protagonists in novels he had read who would casually become invincible among their peers and embark on the path of invincibility.

People who know their weaknesses often improve faster and are more difficult to deal with...

...Above the clouds in the sky.

Two figures observed everything in the central plaza.

Or rather, they had been observing the situation here during this time.

They were none other than Chutian River, the Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion, and Grand Elder Liu Feng, the Grand Elder.

The Grand Competition was only three days away, and their anxiety grew, even to the point where they chose to come in person rather than letting others observe.

They couldn't help but be anxious. For more than half a month, sects participating had arrived one after another, and they had met many so-called heaven's chosen, but none of them were very satisfactory to them.

If even they felt they were not good enough, let alone the three powerful figures in the core who were at loggerheads.

They were also surprised. The Northern Frontier was so vast, yet everyone seemed to have run to Lingxiao Pavilion, which was very strange.

The Wu Wang Immortal Sect was understandable, as they were the first to arrive.

But the Qingming Ghost Domain and the Thunder Domain Holy Hall also directly joined in not long after.
