Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Taking You to the Fourth Level

"So... powerful!"

The four of them watched as Lin Chen, in just the short span of a single cup of tea, eradicated nearly a hundred Spiritual Puppets on his own, their hearts already shaken to the utmost.

Lin Chen’s combat power could only be described as ’abnormal.’

Moreover, the speed at which Lin Chen absorbed and refined the energy of the broken Spiritual Puppets was too heaven-defying.

At this moment, they felt an immense fear inside; they had actually dared to insult Lin Chen by calling him trash and even asked him to attract the attention of the Spiritual Puppets to allow themselves to escape.

"Please forgive our ignorance, Senior Brother. We were rash before and offended Senior Brother; we truly were blind."

After witnessing Lin Chen’s terrifying combat power, the four immediately knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy, clutching their heads.

"To know one’s mistakes and correct them is, indeed, a great good; ignorance is not a sin."

"Rise to your feet. Hand over all the treasures on your persons and follow me, and I can lead you up toward the higher floors of the tower."

Lin Chen’s gaze shifted slightly to the other group of four, and the commanding presence in his eyes made their hearts tremble.

Without hesitation, they quickly took out all the treasures and various materials from their storage bags.

As long as they could appease Lin Chen’s anger and save their lives, the treasures and resources they possessed were but mere external possessions.

Although the surrender of their valuables pained them deeply, they prized their own lives even more.

Seeing the four before him handing over their treasures, Lin Chen didn’t hold their previous actions against them and with a grand gesture, gathered all the treasures and resources into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

Having been tested in his view of the world, Lin Chen had also discovered the rules of the Trial Tower; the number of Spiritual Puppets appearing on each level would increase exponentially.

On top of that, the additional number would be determined by how many people reached the next floor.

Thus, the more people there were moving up a level, the more Spiritual Puppets would appear.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the four slowly stood up, finally understanding why the men in grey and the man with the scar, along with several other martial artists, were following Lin Chen and protecting that beautiful woman.

Afterward, the four joined Lin Chen’s team, following behind the previously joined martial artists.

Hum—

Before long, the same scenario as the previous three floors occurred within the Trial Tower: beams of Spiritual Light shone down upon them, and a Teleportation Array began to form overhead.

The array was meant to transport them to the fourth floor of the Trial Tower.

With the tower now manifesting anomalies, and considering their combat capabilities, they didn’t dare to venture any higher.

Without Lin Chen, they might not even have been able to pass the third floor.

However, with the promise of Lin Chen’s heaven-defying combat power, they felt that passing the fourth floor seemed not impossible.

At this moment, they felt fortunate inside for having encountered Lin Chen.

If they could pass the fourth floor under Lin Chen’s leadership, they would have the chance to enter the Formation Sect and become Outer Sect Disciples.

Humming—

With a flicker of light, they reappeared within the fourth floor of the tower.

They then encountered four other teams which, at this moment, had joined together as one.

They had a reason for being able to pass the third challenge, as among them were people like Du Feiyu and Hong Lan.

With a heavenly pride like Du Feiyu present, defeating the Spiritual Puppets on the third floor seemed within reason.

However, these four teams didn’t have as many members as Lin Chen’s team; Lin Chen’s group totaled eleven, whereas Du Feiyu’s team only had nine people.

The state of the teams’ members was also different; nearly everyone in Lin Chen’s team was in a state of peak Spiritual Energy, while in Du Feiyu’s team, aside from Du Feiyu, Hong Lan, and their fellow senior and junior disciples who were fairly well off, the other five were all diminished in energy and bore various injuries.

"It’s you!"

Upon seeing Lin Chen appear before them, Hong Lan’s expression instantly soured.

Hong Lan had been brooding ever since Lin Chen had plundered her treasures.

Lin Chen was actually surprised as well; he knew Hong Lan’s strength, and her barely managing to handle three Spiritual Puppets was already a struggle.

And Du Feiyu’s strength should have allowed him to only fight at most ten Spiritual Puppets.

As for the strength of Du Feiyu’s senior brother and their frail junior disciple, Lin Chen was not aware, but judging by their Cultivation, their combat power was likely no different from Du Feiyu’s; adding the other martial artists, they shouldn’t have been able to break through the nearly hundred Spiritual Puppets to reach the fourth floor.

"Brother Du, how many Spiritual Puppets did you encounter on the previous floor?"

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Du Feiyu, and he curiously inquired.

"Fifty!"

Du Feiyu, well aware of Lin Chen’s fearsomeness, had managed to fight Lin Chen for hundreds of rounds more than ten days ago. But Lin Chen’s terrifying recovery ability meant that the ultimate outcome of the battle could only be Du Feiyu’s defeat.

Hence, now faced with a question from Lin Chen, he answered without hesitation.

Regarding Hong Lan’s issue, Du Feiyu had already come to understand it, having been guided by his senior brother; Lin Chen must not be offended.

Moreover, the fact that Lin Chen and his group had survived with more members than their own from the third floor, all with steady breaths signified that their battle had not been as difficult.

Could it be that they didn’t encounter as many Spiritual Puppets as they did?

"Indeed, it seems that the number of Spiritual Puppets each of us encounters is not the same."
