Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Strength Doesn’t Allow for Keeping a Low Profile

"Xia Wanxin, through the sixth layer of the Trial Tower, has killed three hundred Spiritual Puppets, scoring three thousand one hundred points."

Hiss...

Looking at the flashing numbers on the stone tablet below the Trial Tower, everyone suddenly drew in a sharp breath.

Xia Wanxin had actually killed three hundred Spiritual Puppets, a situation unprecedented in the last few decades.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Xia Wanxin with immense admiration, and in a flash, all eyes shifted from Deng Yu to Xia Wanxin.

Afterward, they looked at Qin Kaifeng.

This guy had a powerful background in the Formation Sect, needing only a word from his ancestors to directly enter the sect as a True Disciple.

Everyone was curious whether Qin Kaifeng’s performance inside the Trial Tower was as impressive as his background.

"Qin Kaifeng, through the sixth layer of the Trial Tower, has killed five hundred Spiritual Puppets, scoring six thousand points."

The information displayed on the stone tablet below the Trial Tower instantly left everyone dumbfounded.

They could hardly believe that someone could score over six thousand points, perhaps a first in a hundred, or even a thousand, years.

"With such a powerful background, could it be that he cheated to get his score? Killing five hundred Spiritual Puppets alone just doesn’t sound true."

"Yeah, the traces of cheating are too obvious. He’s just a Half-Step Reverting Void Realm, how could anyone possess such tremendous strength?"

The crowd looked at Qin Kaifeng, whispering among themselves.

Qin Kaifeng’s background and identity made many suspicious of his score.

However, no one dared to speak out and question it, because who would dare to offend Qin Kaifeng unless they no longer wanted to remain in the Formation Sect.

Swish—

Just then, another figure flew down from above the Trial Tower, and it was Lin Chen.

At this moment, Lin Chen wore a black robe, spotless, a stark contrast to the disheveled appearances of Qin Kaifeng and Xia Wanxin, with their tattered clothes, wounds, and fresh blood.

The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes, and some even doubted whether Lin Chen had truly descended from the sixth layer of the Trial Tower.

Then, their gazes turned to the stone tablet below the Trial Tower.

Hum—

The faint light flickered, and Lin Chen’s score appeared on the stone tablet.

"Lin Chen, through the sixth layer of the Trial Tower, has killed one thousand two hundred Spiritual Puppets, scoring fifteen thousand points."

Whizz Whizz Whizz—

Upon seeing Lin Chen’s score on the stone tablet below the Trial Tower, everyone at the scene was unsettled, whether it was the Outer Sect Elders, Inner Sect Elders, or even great figures like Mu Qianqiu. Their gaze fell upon Lin Chen.

"This guy, killing one thousand two hundred Spiritual Puppets, scoring fifteen thousand points, is it real or fake?"

"The number of one thousand two hundred, with a score of fifteen thousand, must mean killing higher-cultivation Spiritual Puppets. However, this guy’s Cultivation is only at the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, how could he possibly achieve this?"

"Cheating, this guy is the real cheater, look at how clean he is, how could that be after a battle."

"Right, he must have cheated, this guy cheated, he took shortcuts, we protest."

The people around Lin Chen directly stood up and shouted loudly, raising their suspicions.

Their identities prevented them from offending Qin Kaifeng, but Lin Chen was different, merely a Ninth Layer Martial Artist of the Melding Earth Realm. His cultivation was not even higher than that of the martial artists present, so no one was afraid to offend him.

"Right, this guy is very close to Qin Kaifeng, he must have learned the cheating methods from him."

"To cheat in the Trial Tower, how shameless."

The surrounding murmurs grew louder and more intense, and the scene quickly became agitated.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen, looking at the faces of the people around him, didn’t know how to explain.

He glanced at his own score and Lin Chen was rendered speechless as well. He had always intended to keep a low profile, but had forgotten that the number of Spiritual Puppets killed inside the Trial Tower was related to the score one received upon exiting.

Now, even wanting to stay unnoticed was not an option.

"Presumptuous, the rules of the Formation Sect are not for you to question."

A rebuke sounded, and Tang Yuntian’s aura surged forth. With a single step, the disciples who had been discussing all fell silent, looking at Tang Yuntian with fear.

After Tang Yuntian’s aura had quelled the crowd’s discussions, many other martial artists went on to take the assessment in the Trial Tower, but no one after them could match such achievements. Those who made it through the fourth layer were exceedingly rare, and most were forced to flee from the third layer.

After all, this batch of Trial Tower challenges was many times more dangerous than previous ones.

After this competition, Tang Yuntian and others began to take on disciples according to their rankings, but Tang Yuntian and the others, as Outer Sect Elders of the Formation Sect, only had the authority to take in Outer Sect Disciples.

To take in Inner Sect Disciples, that had to be decided by the Inner Sect Elders.

Several Inner Sect Elders were present at the event, so they were able to make decisions on the spot.

However, heavenly prides like Deng Yu still did not wish to become disciples under those of the Inner Sect, instead aspiring to become disciples of the old ancestors of the Formation Sect.

In the time that followed, Tang Yuntian arranged accommodations for everyone and asked them to take a rest to recuperate.

During this period, Lin Chen secluded himself for cultivation, stabilizing his own level of cultivation.

At this moment, within Divine Sun City.

Above the sky, two figures were locked in combat.

One wielded a sharp sword and remained still, but with a slight motion of the sword in hand, formidable sword light followed.

The other, a middle-aged man wielding a scimitar, had an aura several times stronger than the man in black.

Soon after, the two brandished their weapons, sparring under a dance of blade and sword light.

Though it was just a spar, both were displaying their strength to the extreme, leaving countless wounds on each other.

These two were Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division and Xu Ma’an.

While Lin Chen’s original body was in seclusion, his Second Soul Division was not idle, engaging in constant sparring and seclusion each day.

Now, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division’s cultivation had even broken through to the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm.

It must be said that the Second Soul Division’s speed of cultivation was quite fast, even surpassing that of Lin Chen’s original body.

However, while the speed of breakthrough in cultivation was not fast for Lin Chen’s original body, the enhancement of his combat power far surpassed that of the Second Soul Division, for Lin Chen’s original body practiced the Primordial Transformation Art, and its strength could not be measured solely by cultivation level.

During this time of sparring with Lin Chen, Xu Ma’an’s cultivation also soared, reaching the Seventh Level of the Reverting Void Realm.

Xu Ma’an had now thoroughly mastered the Blazing Fire Divine Decree and could see the same hope of reaching the Heavenly Human Realm.
