Chapter 437: 437 Chapter Lin Chen’s Back

In the Jade Cauldron Kingdom, atop the city walls.

Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was holding a cyan bow in his left hand, which he had forged in imitation of the Blazing Fire Divine Bow belonging to Lin Chen’s original body. Although its power was not as great as the golden bow and arrow, it was not to be underestimated.

At that moment, in Lin Chen’s right hand, he placed ten specially refined arrow feathers with lightning attributes on the cyan bow, drew the bow to its full extent, and aimed at a huge boulder on the mountain peak opposite.

Swish swish—

Silver lightning flashed ten times in quick succession, and the arrow feathers flew from Lin Chen’s hands, shooting towards the mountain peak on the opposite bank.

The ten arrow feathers hit their target perfectly, instantly blasting the giant rocks into smithereens.

The cyan bow itself possessed the power of the lightning attribute, and the refined arrow feathers were the same. Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division further enhanced the power of the arrow feathers by infusing them with lightning system power while drawing and releasing the bowstring.

To maximize the power of his bow, Lin Chen had specially learned a swordsmanship known as Thunder Chasing Strike, an archery technique of the Earth Level Low Grade, which significantly enhanced the power of the arrow feathers.

Now, the arrows in Lin Chen’s hand had the power to match the prowess of a Fifth Level Reverting Void Realm warrior with a single shot.

Furthermore, Lin Chen had mastered the ability to draw the bowstring and shoot ten arrows at a time, giving him a certain multi-target capability, which could provide an advantage in group battles.

In the case of single combat, Lin Chen could focus all his power on one arrow, which could then unleash a might comparable to the Reverting Void Realm Sixth Layer.

"This guy is getting more and more monstrous."

"If we do not make efforts, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to keep up with his shadow."

Xu Ma’an and Li Xuanming and others, witnessing the commotion stirred by Lin Chen, felt a sense of dread in their hearts.

In particular, Hong Yanbing, who had some past grievances with Lin Chen, knew that if Lin Chen had aimed that attack at him just now, he would undoubtedly be dead already.

Clenching his fists, Hong Yanbing was inwardly glad that he had long since resolved his hostilities with Lin Chen, for he would not have been able to withstand that attack from Lin Chen otherwise.

Xu Ma’an, Yang Yuemin, and others recognized that Lin Chen’s attack contained the power of wind, fire, and lightning attributes, which was why it could unleash such formidable force.

"Truly worthy of the person who has led the Jade Cauldron Sect to such glory, indeed unbelievably powerful."

Yu Liyan gazed at Lin Chen, feeling utterly astounded. Lin Chen’s growth rate was beyond imagination. She remembered when the Floral Transfer Palace merged with the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen was nowhere near as powerful as he is now. Back then, his strength was not even on par with hers, but now, they could only look up to Lin Chen.

They had also exchanged and learned the Blazing Fire Divine Decree. In a First Class Vassal State where Heavenly Skill Techniques were scarce, such cultivation techniques were usually only accessible to core elders of Sects like Formation Sect and Skyhawk Sect.

For martial artists of Xu Ma’an and Yu Liyan’s generation, to cultivate to the Reverting Void Realm was regarded as exceptional talent. If not for Lin Chen’s rise, they might never have broken through the Reverting Void Realm in their lifetimes without some special fortune, with the Heavenly Human Realm seeming utterly unattainable.

But now, equipped with the Blazing Fire Divine Technique, everyone was filled with confidence about breaking through to the Heavenly Human Realm. They were not only focused on the Heavenly Human Realm, but even the higher Nirvana Realm seemed possible, because once their cultivation reached the Heavenly Human Realm, their lifespan would also be extended to two thousand years.

Witnessing Lin Chen’s display of formidable strength, everyone’s competitive spirit was ignited. Although Lin Chen was young, his cultivation and strength far exceeded theirs, which was a significant asset to the Jade Cauldron Kingdom.

However, everyone was acutely aware that the gap between them and Lin Chen was only going to grow wider, until they no longer mattered in his eyes. By then, to Lin Chen, their cultivation might seem as trifling as the difference between the kingdom’s common disciples and themselves.

Not wanting to be left far behind by Lin Chen, they all needed to keep pace with him in order to travel further on the Martial Path.

...

In the Formation Sect, a huge Martial Arts Practice Ground.

At the moment, the Practice Ground was filled with twelve thousand and two hundred martial artists participating in the recruitment conference.

The fourth trial of Enlightenment had no dangers and no elimination mechanism, so even those who failed to grasp the true intent would not be disqualified by the Formation Sect.

However, those who did grasp the true intent would be awarded a thousand extra points, creating ever larger disparities in rankings.

And now, the total score Lin Chen had accumulated reached an astonishing nineteen thousand points.

This was a score unseen in the entire history of the Formation Sect; the second place, Qin Kaifeng, had only nine thousand points, a whole ten thousand points behind first place Lin Chen.

Heavenly prides like Xia Wanxin and Ouyang Xuan had only managed to secure scores between five and six thousand.

At the moment, the square accommodating everyone had arrays set up at the very front, with several stone lion sculptures placed there. The lion’s teeth were some kind of jade, and not just that, there were certain formations beneath the stone lions.

This trial was to enter a secret realm for assessment.

And this trial was the most dangerous of the five so far.

In the past, nearly half of those who entered this secret realm would be injured.

"Before entering, all of you should think twice. The secret realm is fraught with peril. Those who fear death can choose to leave now,"

Tang Yuntian reminded everyone with a word of caution.

But since they had come this far, naturally no martial artist wanted to back down, and no one left.

"Since that’s the case, I will now distribute Teleportation Jade Slips to you. If you encounter danger, just infuse Spiritual Power into it and then crush it to be immediately teleported out of the secret realm."
