Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Accepting the Mission

When Lin Chen returned to his dwelling, he found to his surprise that Chang Bai was already there waiting for him with a sword in hand.

"This guy, his cultivation has also broken through a lot during this period."

Lin Chen’s eyes landed on Chang Bai, sensing the strong aura emanating from him, and felt an inward shock.

Lin Chen was very clear about Chang Bai’s reason for being there, especially since the killing intent radiating from Chang Bai was unmistakable.

However, even if Chang Bai was strong, Lin Chen’s residence was surrounded by a Killing Formation. Once activated, it could unleash tremendous power, so Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t fear Chang Bai.

Swoosh, swoosh—

At that moment, Chang Bai made his move, clenching his sword and launching an attack on Lin Chen.

Upon seeing this, Lin Chen also summoned the Fiery Flame Sword and engaged in a fight with Chang Bai.

The clash between the two, the Spiritual Power released, and the Sword Qi unleashed, immediately caught the attention of many disciples within the Formation Sect, with numerous flying over to Lin Chen’s cave dwelling to watch the spectacle.

However, no one dared to get too close, since the range of the fighters’ powers was vast. If either of them was careless, they could get injured by the Sword Qi, and even face death.

After exchanging blows for a while, Lin Chen realized that Chang Bai’s strength was, indeed, above his own. Even with a Natural Sword Body, he was no match for Chang Bai.

At this moment, Chang Bai infused his swordsmanship with Cold Ice Power once more, and instantly, countless chills and cold air formed in the space outside Lin Chen’s dwelling.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t dare to be negligent, and with a great gesture, he summoned seven Flying Swords. Under his control, they formed into a Seven Killings Sword Array.

The showdown of their Killing Moves would determine the victor.

However, just at this moment, a Sword Light descended from the sky. A cyan Treasured Sword landed between Lin Chen and Chang Bai, dispersing the aura bursting forth from both of them instantly.

Mu Qianqiu descended slowly from above and stood between them.

"What are you fighting for, don’t you know the impact this causes on our sect?"

"If you want to settle your differences, go to the Duel Platform. If I find you two fighting again, you will face sect discipline."

"Also, because of your battle, you’ve destroyed many of the nearby buildings. The stewards will come to you later for the repair fines."

Mu Qianqiu gave Chang Bai a profound look, her words clearly directed at him, because the confrontation had taken place at Lin Chen’s dwelling, making Chang Bai the challenger.

Mu Qianqiu had long kept an eye on both Lin Chen and Chang Bai, knowing full well they didn’t get along.

When the two had started fighting, she hadn’t rushed to stop them right away, wanting to see for herself just how much these two strongest contenders of their generation had progressed in this time.

However, the more they fought, the more desperate their struggle, and Mu Qianqiu had no choice but to intervene.

Chang Bai gave Lin Chen a displeased look, his eyes still filled with chilly murderous intent.

Watching Chang Bai walk away, Lin Chen felt the pressure mounting inside him. That guy had indeed extraordinary talent. Even when Lin Chen had deployed the Seven Killings Sword Array, at most he would only be able to fight Chang Bai to a draw.

The next day, sure enough, a Law Enforcement Disciple came looking for Lin Chen, demanding he pay a fine of five hundred Contribution Value points.

Lin Chen immediately protested; the buildings had not been destroyed by him alone. Moreover, if Chang Bai had not come to challenge him, Lin Chen wouldn’t have caused any of that destruction.

However, his protests were useless, because Chang Bai had been fined a full one thousand Contribution Value points.

Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Chen felt somewhat better and had no choice but to hand over the five hundred Contribution Value points.

Although he had become an Inner Sect Disciple, with a monthly allocation of one thousand Contribution Value points for cultivation resources, and even more for those within the first thousand of the Pride List, losing a full five hundred points still pained Lin Chen greatly.

After handing over the five hundred Contribution Value points, Lin Chen was once again left penniless.

Having no other option, Lin Chen had to honestly take on tasks assigned by the sect.

From among the many tasks available within the Formation Sect, Lin Chen finally chose one to repair an Array Formation.

It turned out that some ancient arrays of the Formation Sect had fallen into disrepair over the years, substantially reducing their effectiveness and requiring a martial artist skilled in Formation to repair them.

However, the competition within the Formation Sect was severe, and many disciples only thought about how to advance their cultivation and climb the ranks on the Pride List. Very few would undertake a task like repairing an array.

Even though the rewards were generous, not only did it offer five hundred Contribution Value points, but it also included a chance to cultivate within the Five Elements Glaze Tower.

The so-called Five Elements Glaze Tower was not merely a place of cultivation like the cultivation rooms, but a tower charged with the Power of the Five Elements which could be used to refine both the body and Spiritual Power of martial artists.

Typically, only the Heavenly Prides of the Inner Sect would train there, as each entry consumed five hundred Contribution Value points.
