Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Ceremony of Commandeering Orders

The sorry Young Master Ling Chen could only drag his package by himself back to his room.

Just at that moment, Ling Wu suddenly rushed in.

"Young Master, I have important matters to discuss with you."

Ling Wu’s expression was solemn.

"Oh? What matter?"

Ling Chen looked toward Ling Wu.

"Young Master, four days ago, the family suddenly announced that tomorrow there will be a contest to win the True Martial Token; the champion will receive it!"

Ling Wu said.

"True Martial Token?"

A cold light flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes.

The True Martial Token is a reward given by the True Martial Academy within the Zhenwu Prefecture for students who have made significant contributions to the Academy.

This True Martial Token from the Ling Family was obtained by Ling Chen’s father, Ling Tianxing, and left for Ling Chen.

When Ling Chen was young, this True Martial Token was entrusted to the family for safekeeping until after Ling Chen’s awakening, and then it would be returned to him.

However, Ling Chen’s awakening failed, and so the matter was put off.

He had even forgotten about it himself.

At this moment, with Ling Wu bringing it up, Ling Chen remembered that this originally belonged to him.

The True Martial Token has only one use: to allow the bearer to enter the True Martial Academy for study without any conditions.

These conditions include no restrictions on age or talent.

Therefore, even if Ling Chen’s awakening failed, just by holding the True Martial Token, he could still enter the True Martial Academy for study and enjoy the treatment of the academy’s top students.

However, he never expected the family to be so despicable as to use what belonged to him as the prize for a contest.

"I understand."

Ling Chen said with a cold voice.

"Young Master, this is a copy of the announcement that I transcribed for you to see."

Ling Wu took out a piece of paper and placed it on the wooden table, then retreated.

Ling Chen picked it up and read it once.

The general meaning was consistent with what Ling Wu had said.

To participate in the contest to win the token, there is only one restriction: participants must be under twenty years old.

Now that the announcement is out, even if Ling Chen personally went to the Family Head, it’s doubtful that anything could be altered.

After all, he is merely a Cultivator in the Condensation Realm and could hardly contend with Cultivators in the Spirit Sea Realm!

"Ling Tianfeng, you are forcing my hand! What belongs to me, Ling Chen, cannot be touched by others!"

Ling Chen’s hatred was sky-high.

The deadline to sign up for the contest is tomorrow morning.

So, Ling Chen was not in a rush.

He locked himself in his room and took out the Spirit Revitalizing Pills to consume.

With twenty thousand Spirit Revitalizing Pills at his disposal and the Night Moon Saint Body which could rapidly assimilate Spiritual Energy, improving his cultivation level was all too easy.

He is currently in the mid-stage of the seventh level of the Condensation Realm. With enough Spirit Revitalizing Pills, he didn’t even know where his limits lay!

With previous experience taking Spirit Revitalizing Pills, Ling Chen was not too worried. Pill after pill, he swallowed the Spirit Revitalizing Pills, and his cultivation level kept increasing.

Night fell, and his Night Moon Saint Body automatically activated, assimilating both nature’s spiritual energy and the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Revitalizing Pills.

Late seventh level of the Condensation Realm.

Early eighth level of the Condensation Realm.

By the time the sun rose the following day, Ling Chen’s cultivation level had soared straight to the late eighth level of the Condensation Realm!

In terms of Spiritual Power, he was comparable to the late ninth level of the Condensation Realm, and even traces of liquefaction began to appear within the Spiritual Power inside his body.

Liquefaction is a sign of a breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm.

In the Condensation Realm, a sphere of Spiritual Power forms in the Dantian, whereas in the Spirit Sea Realm, the Spiritual Power turns to liquid, forming a sea of Spiritual Power!

Once the Spiritual Power liquefies to the utmost, it will progress to the Spirit Sea Realm!

Usually, it is only possible to see such a situation once one reaches the late ninth level of the Condensation Realm.

However, Ling Chen has a special physique, and his Spiritual Power is naturally stronger by a tier than others.

Over the course of one night, Ling Chen had refined a total of twelve hundred Spirit Revitalizing Pills.

But for him, it was just a drop in the ocean.

Compared to these Spirit Revitalizing Pills, the True Martial Token is of utmost importance.

"Squeak."

Ling Chen pushed open the door, and a small figure tumbled in.

"Luo Luo?"

Ling Chen’s face was full of surprise.

Yesterday, Ling Wu should have arranged accommodations for her; how did this little one end up sleeping at his doorstep?

"Brother Ling Chen."

Luo Luo woke up and called out sweetly.

"Did you sleep here all night?"

Ling Chen asked.

"I don’t know."

Luo Luo looked puzzled.

A chill ran through Ling Chen’s heart. Surely this little one doesn’t have a habit of sleepwalking?

Just then, Ling Wu also ran out, saw Luo Luo, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "You scared me to death, how did you get here?"

Last night, she was the one who had cuddled with Luo Luo for sleep, only to wake up and find the latter gone.

Ling Chen said, "Alright, Luo Luo, are you tired? If not, shall I take you somewhere fun?"

"Sure!"

Luo Luo’s eyes lit up, nodding hurriedly.

"Xiao Wu, would you like to join us?"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

The three of them headed toward the family’s Martial Arts Arena together.

The trio was quite eye-catching; along the way, many people discussed them.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Martial Arts Arena; Ling Chen found a good spot for the two and then headed to the registration desk.

After registering, Ling Chen waited in the competitors’ area.

"Young Master Chen."

Upon seeing Ling Chen approach, Ling Xiao stood up with a smile.

"Xiao the Enforcer."

Ling Chen nodded and sat down next to Ling Xiao.

Many people were shocked to see that Ling Chen had a good relationship with the captain of the Law Enforcement Team.

Those who registered to participate in the ceremony to vie for the token were generally Cultivators of at least the seventh level of Qi Condensation Realm, and typically over the age of seventeen.

Seeing Ling Chen, who was clearly on a different level from everyone else, many scoffed.

The news of Ling Chen’s ability to cultivate had already spread throughout the Ling Family.

It was true that he had shocked them before; it is said that he could defeat a Qi Condensation Realm third-level Cultivator of Spirit Arts in just a few days. But, after all, they were at least seventh-level Cultivators.

Ling Chen’s talent was there for all to see.

Fast Cultivation Speed at the beginning wasn’t something new.

After all, Ling Chen’s father was a super genius with a Spiritual Body; it was very possible that he left some Elixirs for Ling Chen to quickly improve his cultivation.

Moreover, they had practiced mid-grade and even high-grade Spirit Arts.

Dealing with someone boosted by Elixirs wasn’t a big deal to them.

The only thing that surprised them was the close relationship between Ling Chen and Ling Xiao.

Of course, there were also rumors that Ling Chen had once given guidance to Ling Xiao.

But such rumors were dismissed after multiple verifications, concluding that Ling Chen only made some inexplicable remark about the essence not in the form, which hardly counted as guidance.

The number of people in the Martial Arts Arena kept increasing, even including spectators from outside.

Such as the president of the Divine Thought Master Guild, the president of Purple Cloud Commerce, and the Family Heads and talented descendants of the other two great houses.

Unaffected by the continuous cheers, Ling Chen popped another Spirit Revitalizing Pill into his mouth every now and then.

This behavior naturally caught the attention of Ling Xiao.

However, he couldn’t possibly imagine that Ling Chen was consuming Spirit Revitalizing Pills.

He thought they were just some candies or snacks.
