Chapter 926: Claiming the Gold Token
Elder Tan nodded his head slightly. "Knowing when to fight and when to hold back reflects their vision. Those who can advance and retreat with both courage and strategy will go further."
They didn’t raise or lower their voices on purpose, but th elders from other sects who are listening to Sixth Elder’s words looked relieved and turned around toward the Green Lotus Sect with appreciation. In contrast, Eternal One Sect’s presence felt much less favorable.
Realizing this, Sect Leader Mao’s face darkened. The Green Lotus Sect was subtly winning over other sects at Eternal One’s expense.
"What others choose to do has nothing to do with us. Let’s avoid speaking of it in the future," ordered Elder Wong, the highest-ranking elder there. With that, Yokhunan Shao and the others dared not say more, although they shot a glare at Elder Wang, who simply smiled back.
While the group was talking, the spiritual energy around the Path of All Immortals almost completely disappeared. The scene behind it, like a mirage, was also slowly fading.
"One o’clock," Amalia’s voice suddenly sounded in Kenny Lin’s mind.
Without a second thought, he shot toward the one o’clock position.
No one else was there.
In the next second, all the top disciples moved, but none could match Kenny Lin’s speed, and they fell behind as he reached it first.
A gold token shot out from the Path of All Immortals, heading straight toward the one o’clock position that Amalia had mentioned.
Some tried to intercept it early, but as soon as they moved halfway, the gold token accelerated, shooting even faster in Kenny Lin’s direction.
Others who were closer tried to block it within two hundred meters, but the token nearly broke through their defenses, giving them quite a scare.
"This gold token is way too powerful. It’s impossible to intercept it within a few hundred meters."
"Idiot! Why do you think no one just waits by the exit of the Path of All Immortals to grab the token the moment it flies out? That’d be easier, right?" someone scolded, wondering why the person hadn’t thought about why no one dared to do that.
Of course, it’s because the token is at its most powerful the moment it appears. Even top disciples can’t withstand that force.
The scolded person quickly backed away, embarrassed.
"Damn it!" Seongwoo Jin reacted quickly but couldn’t match Kenny Lin’s speed. He could only watch Kenny Lin’s figure getting closer to the gold token, the frustration was brewing within him.
"He’s only at the middle of the Soul Formation stage. How can he be that fast?" Seonho Ming, who was just half a body length behind him, looked shocked.
"Did you guys notice that right before the gold token appeared, he started moving like he already knew its direction?" Hwejong Xiong said incredulously.
"Impossible. No one’s ever been able to predict the token’s direction," Seonho Ming quickly rebutted.
The two of them looked at Seongwoo Jin, wanting to hear his take.
"He moved when the token just showed a small part of itself," Seongwoo Jin replied, his face tense. He had seen it too, but unlike Kenny Lin, he couldn’t figure out where the token was headed from just a glimpse.
"Could it be... he really predicted it?" Hwejong Xiong was amazed.
"That’s probably it. Otherwise, there’s no way to explain how he did it. Someone actually managed to predict it," Seonho Ming’s expression grew darker as he watched the gold token fall into Kenny Lin’s hand, feeling their hopes shatter.
At this point, everyone chasing the token came to a halt.
Countless eyes stared at Kenny Lin, who was holding the gold token with an intrigued look, not blinking even once.
"So, this is the gold token," Kenny Lin muttered, trying to grip it firmly but struggling. When he first held it, he had to activate a defense with his spiritual energy, or else his hand would have been crushed by its force.
Even after flying a thousand meters out, the token still held considerable power.
"This Martial Uncle is really incredible," Seongwoo Jin remarked, finally catching up, though speed wasn’t his strength. Eunbyeol Ling followed closely behind him.
"With this gold token added, he probably has nearly two thousand black tokens now," Eunbyeol Ling responded with a complex expression.
She was starting to understand why Peak Master Bomen had told her those things on the airship. She wasn’t just witnessing Kenny Lin’s speed, but also the shocking moment when he cut off the right arm of his opponent who was a top-tier genius with a single sword strike.
Others might not have noticed, but she had been nearby, and that scene left a deep impression in her mind.
Seongwoo Jin took a sharp breath. "With nearly two thousand black tokens... do we all combined even have as many as he does?"
Eunbyeol Ling sighed. "The chances are very slim."
"I admit, this Martial Uncle has surpassed all of our expectations, but the real challenge starts now. Just because he collected so many tokens doesn’t mean he can keep them all. Look at those top disciples; they’re all eyeing his tokens, not just the gold one but the crystal toke and silver tokens as well," Jinhwa Hou added, looking visibly worried.
"He’s going to have big problems; having too much can bring trouble," Eunbyeol Ling said.
"There’s nothing to worry about. It’s impossible for anyone to take tokens from the Green Lotus Sect," Jirandai Tang declared confidently. He hadn’t collected as many tokens as Kenny Lin, but he was sure he could defend them.
"Right, if they want to take them, it depends on whether we agree," Taeseon Lei said, calm but firm.
Both Jirandai Tang and Taeseon Lei were top disciples with strong skills and high potential in the Green Lotus Sect. Their words represented the sect’s strength.
"But, if I remember correctly, the gold and crystal tokens can’t be traded," Eunbyeol Ling said, frowning.
"They can’t be traded, but they can be ’lost’ to someone on purpose," Seongwoo Jin chuckled.
