Chapter 391: Chapter 391 Failed Ambush, Suffering Attacks Instead

The burly-browed man wanted to challenge Lin Chen precisely because he had heard of the many treasures on Lin Chen’s person.

"Desiring the treasures on my person?"

"Another fool blinded by greed, rest assured, I will soon open your eyes to reality."

Lin Chen gazed indifferently at the burly-browed man, his heart already decided on the man’s fate.

As he finished speaking, a large saber had already appeared in Lin Chen’s hand. During his battles, Lin Chen had rarely used a sword, instead opting for a saber, which conveniently allowed him to practice the Gale Wind Blade Technique.

Seeing the large saber in Lin Chen’s hand, the burly-browed man’s eyes lit up, for the saber Lin Chen held was an Earth-grade low-quality magic treasure.

Such a treasure was not easy to come by, and in response, he promptly charged at Lin Chen.

"Ah, you pitiful fellow, seeing the large saber in Lin Chen’s hand, you probably think it was prepared just for you."

"You see that look in the burly-browed man’s eyes? His gaze now determines how Lin Chen will treat him later. By the looks of it, that chap might not even be left with his underwear."

"In the end, he has only himself to blame for daring to covet what belongs to someone like Lin Chen."

"Speaking of which, Lin Chen does seem somewhat excessive. With so many challengers, why do I feel like he’s becoming stronger with each battle? It’s like everyone is unintentionally honing his martial skills, aiding in the growth of his cultivation. Each time, he strips them clean, his actions are simply too ruthless."

"Brother, if you talk like that, have you also challenged Lin Chen and been stripped bare by him?"

"What Brother Lin Chen does is absolutely right. These fools willingly challenge him, coveting the treasures on Brother Lin Chen’s person. When they lose and get robbed in return, they still think they have the right to complain."

As the crowd discussed, the battle up ahead had already concluded.

The burly-browed man who had boldly declared he would defeat Lin Chen within ten moves had only lasted five moves before losing.

And the outcome was exactly as everyone had anticipated.

When the burly-browed man left Baiming Garden, all he had left was a single pair of underwear.

After the burly-browed man’s defeat, Lin Chen, holding the spoils he had taken from him, made his way to a corner of Baiming Garden.

"Take these. This guy had quite a haul on him, I’m giving you three Third Grade Elixirs."

Arriving at the corner, Lin Chen immediately took out three Third Grade Elixirs and tossed them into the corner.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin Chen. I will surely redouble my efforts."

The moment the elixirs flew out, a disheveled man leapt out from the corner, caught them, and after a round of thanks to Lin Chen, left.

It turned out that the disheveled man had been spreading rumors within the Formation Sect that Lin Chen was an easy target with low cultivation but many treasures on his person. This was done with the intent of inciting the sect’s newcomers to challenge Lin Chen, who would then defeat them and strip them of all their treasures.

Every time a challenger appeared and Lin Chen obtained treasures, he would share a portion with the disheveled man.

This man too had been taught a lesson by Lin Chen before, but then had an epiphany and came up with this scheme. After some consideration, Lin Chen agreed to it.

The disheveled man, holding the elixirs rewarded by Lin Chen, returned to his abode and swiftly consumed all three elixirs to enhance his cultivation.

In the Array Formation Sect, reputation and all else are illusions; the only truth is the treasures gained and used for oneself.

Even if you are in the limelight, you might still encounter someone like Lin Chen, only to be completely plundered in the end.

Hence, after his defeat by Lin Chen, the disheveled man had come to understand this principle.

If Lin Chen were really that easy to deal with, he would have been taken down by others long ago, and it wouldn’t be the turn of those who believed the rumors about him to take action.

Such is human nature; everyone wishes to take advantage of their cultivation to gain some cheap benefits, only to find themselves losing more instead.

During this time, thanks to his cooperation with Lin Chen, the disheveled man even nearly reclaimed all the treasures he had lost to Lin Chen.

His cultivation had broken through from the Third Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm to the Fourth Layer.

Prior to this, even if he had used all of his resources, he might not have been able to achieve this feat.

Thus, his misfortune was intertwined with luck; although he lost to Lin Chen, he also made Lin Chen’s acquaintance and gained some benefits as a result.

However, the disheveled man was very clear that his relationship with Lin Chen was merely one of cooperation, far from being friends.

But as long as he did not antagonize Lin Chen, all was well; with Lin Chen’s ability and means, he was bound to stand out in the recruitment competition of the Array Formation Sect.

Yet, Lin Chen’s behavior during his stay in Baiming Garden had offended many; therefore, the disheveled man secretly decided not to get too close to Lin Chen, to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.

If Lin Chen continued to make enemies, he would inevitably face a joint attack from other martial artists. Though Lin Chen was mysterious and resourceful, becoming everyone’s target would lead to serious trouble eventually.

During this time, Lin Chen was also aware that his actions had attracted too much attention, so not every challenge was met with confrontation.

Zhao Zhongtian of the Great Flame Imperial Family had challenged Lin Chen several times, but Lin Chen, being no fool, naturally did not take the bait.

Joking aside, Zhao Zhongtian possessed the cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm.

If this were in Divine Sun City, Lin Chen could still rely on the Power of the Dragon Vein and activate the Great Formation to contend with him.

But in Baiming Garden, facing Zhao Zhongtian head-on, Lin Chen certainly could not be his match.

Moreover, should they clash, Zhao Zhongtian would surely aim to kill, and it would no longer be a simple sparring match.

However, as Lin Chen continued to evade, Zhao Zhongtian was not one to give up easily.

Thus, one night, Zhao Zhongtian snuck into Baiming Garden and attempted a surprise attack on Lin Chen.

Fortunately, Lin Chen had sensed it in advance and had already set up the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array in the courtyard of his residence, along with ten improved Stone Sculpture Puppets, which foiled Zhao Zhongtian’s assault.

That night, not only did Zhao Zhongtian fail to injure Lin Chen, but he was also repelled by the Divine Fire Army Descent Formation and nearly got hurt himself.

Zhao Zhongtian then realized that even though Lin Chen was no match for him, with formations and other tactics at his disposal, Lin Chen was not afraid of him at all and even had means that could potentially kill Zhao Zhongtian.
