Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Qin Kaifeng

After arriving at the four academies, a martial artist with Eighth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm cultivation took a liking to the private room of a man holding a white feather fan and consequently issued a challenge to him.

However, the outcome of the fight stunned everyone.

When the challenger charged towards the man with the feather fan, who was gentle and refined, he was nonchalantly sent flying with a slap.

The challenger spat out fresh blood on the spot, losing several teeth, and was completely dumbfounded.

He could never have imagined that he would be so thoroughly defeated.

The spectators were also incredulous, for they had clearly seen how this martial artist, at the Eighth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, had once challenged a martial artist at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm and had nearly crushed them in victory.

And yet, when challenging this gentle and refined man, he ended up in such a sorry state.

Besides these two, who were untouchable entities within the academies, the third name was Lin Chen.

The fourth, however, was a petite girl with a mushroom haircut, the same girl with the Supreme God Body that Lin Chen had noticed.

Among these four, apart from the princess of Yanwu Country with her astonishing background, the other two also had backgrounds that were not at all inferior.

The man’s ancestors were originally elders of the Formation Sect; this person’s name was Qin Kaifeng. In fact, with his grandfather’s status, a single word from him would have easily allowed him entry into the Formation Sect.

Nevertheless, Qin Kaifeng was extremely proud and did not want to rely on his ancestors’ strength. As a result, he wandered outside from a young age, though still under the cultivation resources provided by his ancestors.

So it was actually quite laughable. If he really had the integrity, why continuously utilize the cultivation resources of his ancestors.

He simply wanted to prove that his talent was exceptionally strong, and knowing this, his ancestor had no choice but to let him go to the Formation Sect’s meet to gain some insight.

Qin Kaifeng was not only of a peculiar temperament, but his personality was equally unpredictable; he was sometimes gentle and refined, and suddenly explosive in his anger, with a readiness to physically harm others. The man who had been slapped away, losing his teeth, was a testament to this.

Qin Kaifeng was an excessively belligerent fellow, who would occasionally indulge in chess for amusement. However, most of the time, he was obsessed with practicing martial arts and sought out challenges everywhere.

Initially, everyone thought that given Qin Kaifeng’s temperament, once he learned of Lin Chen’s existence, he would cause trouble for Lin Chen. Many who had been plundered by Lin Chen or who had been taught a lesson by Qin Kaifeng hoped that the two would come to blows, fighting a life-or-death battle.

No matter the outcome, who lost or won, it would satisfy the crowd since they lacked the strength to teach the duo lessons themselves.

"Great, Qin Kaifeng has finally learned of Lin Chen’s presence. Is he going to cause trouble for Lin Chen?"

"Judging by the direction he’s heading, it seems so. Now we’re in for a good show."

"These two lunatics, one who swindles without paying the consequences, pillaging treasures, and the other who is as combative as life itself, capricious in nature—if they encounter each other, it’s likely that one of them will not make it out alive."

"Qin Kaifeng’s ancestor is from the Formation Sect; if Lin Chen angers him and happens to injure Qin Kaifeng, his end probably won’t be pretty. The Formation Sect won’t let him off easily."

"The two have not yet fought, and the outcome is still unknown. Perhaps Lin Chen might not even withstand Qin Kaifeng’s attacks and could possibly die by his hands."

"A battle between these two is bound to be fierce. I’m so looking forward to it, and the outcome is equally anticipated."

Within the four academies, countless martial artists heard the news that Qin Kaifeng was going to fight Lin Chen and they flocked to the scene to watch.

However, when everyone gathered around Lin Chen’s outside room, the result was astonishing.

Although Qin Kaifeng and Lin Chen did indeed fight a major battle, the outcome turned out to be a draw. Afterwards, they agreed to battle another day and then celebrated with drinks, actually playing chess in the courtyard together.

This action left the surrounding crowd baffled; the scenario they had expected did not happen at all.

They couldn’t fathom how someone with Qin Kaifeng’s temperament could become friends with Lin Chen.

What they did not know was that through their combat, both Qin Kaifeng and Lin Chen enhanced their strength, as they had both seen something in each other that could aid their own cultivation—that battling one another could enhance their cultivation.

Hence, in the following days, the two engaged in several more fights.

After battling Qin Kaifeng, Lin Chen concluded that Qin Kaifeng’s strength was even greater than that of Du Feiyu, who possessed the Supreme God Body.

Lin Chen’s cultivation had also increased quite a bit recently, but in his fights with Qin Kaifeng, he never fell into a disadvantageous position, whereas Du Feiyu had been injured by Lin Chen.

However, it had been more than ten days since Lin Chen last sparred with Du Feiyu. Given Du Feiyu’s talent, his cultivation might have advanced during this time, but it seemed unlikely that he could have caught up with Qin Kaifeng so quickly.

In the remaining days, as the time for the Formation Sect’s competition approached, the number of spectators watching Lin Chen and Qin Kaifeng’s battles decreased.

However, Lin Chen still did not want their fights to be watched by others, as the purpose of sparring with Qin Kaifeng was to enhance cultivation, and inadvertently, some trump cards might be revealed.

Even though the surrounding spectators stealing a look at the moves didn’t affect Lin Chen, as he simply did not regard them as a concern, even if they met at the grand competition, Lin Chen would not be afraid.

What Lin Chen was worried about, however, was that these individuals would convey what they saw to a few powerful presences that Lin Chen could sense. If so, it could make him cautious in the upcoming competition.

Qin Kaifeng seemed to care about this as well, so he simply took Lin Chen to another place to spar, outside of Baiming Garden.

"Is this the Martial Arts Practice Ground of the Formation Sect Outer Sect?"

Arriving at the place led by Qin Kaifeng, Lin Chen felt a bit surprised because, according to the rules, before joining the Formation Sect, non-disciples were not allowed to enter the Practice Ground, even the Outer Sect one.
