Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Lin Xiaodu’s Other Name

"Spirit Sea Realm Second Layer?"

The crowd was first stunned, followed by incredible cries of disbelief that erupted one after another!

Only those at the Second Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm could cleanly defeat a cultivator at the First Layer employing a lower-grade Profound Spirit Art.

"Spirit Sea Realm Second Layer?"

Ling Tianfeng was also shocked as he jumped up from his chair.

Just recently, Ling Chen was at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm; how much time had passed since he not only broke through the bottleneck of the Spirit Sea Realm but also reached the Second Layer?

Was this speed intended to scare people to death?

"How is this possible?"

Lin Family Patriarch Lin Xiong and Su Family Patriarch Su Mo were also so shocked their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

Previously, when Ling Chen was competing for the True Martial Token, it had been enough to astonish them.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days, Ling Chen had reached the Second Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm?

Could it be that for him, advancing in cultivation was such a simple matter?

"No, he’s at the First Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!"

Qin Lie spoke up.

"How is this possible?"

Ling Tianfeng, Su Mo, and Lin Xiong’s eyes nearly popped out.

First Layer of Spirit Sea Realm, able to defeat a cultivator of the same realm who employed a lower-grade Profound Spirit Art merely by relying on Spiritual Power?

"Exactly!"

Qin Lie confidently nodded: "The aura of his Spirit Sea inside his body is absolutely at the First Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. It’s just that the Spiritual Technique he cultivates is quite special, hence the formidable power!"

He was a cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm, far surpassing these Spirit Sea Realm fellows in his sensing abilities!

Hearing this, Su Mo and Lin Xiong fell silent.

Especially Su Mo, who felt extremely frustrated inside.

His Su Family possessed a Golden Spirit Body.

Yet, Su Qingyun’s cultivation speed couldn’t compare to Ling Chen.

Now, Su Qingyun was eighteen years old, at the Third Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!

While Ling Chen, only fifteen years old, already had a cultivation level reaching the First Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, with Spiritual Power comparable to the Second Layer.

What’s crucial was that Ling Chen had only awakened a month ago.

If he continued to cultivate at this speed, Su Qingyun’s little advantage might completely vanish!

Su Mo was so frustrated he almost cursed; his Su Family had indeed awakened a Golden Spirit Body, which was supposed to be a joyful occasion! Yet, why couldn’t he feel happy when compared to Ling Chen?

"Could this youngster possess a physique that surpasses the Spiritual Body?"

Su Mo thought silently: "But if he had such a Spiritual Body, True Martial Academy would have approached us long ago, right? How could Lord Qin Lie say that he came specifically for Qingyun?"

Ling Tianfeng, meanwhile, couldn’t hide his excitement.

Ling Chen’s current performance was much stronger than any Spiritual Body.

With Ling Chen here, the revival of the Ling Family was hopeful.

It was just that because of the previous incident, he had offended Ling Chen.

Now, he finally made a decision.

Tonight, he would personally go and apologize!

Previously, he had relied on his status as the head of the clan, believing that Ling Chen’s cultivation would stop at the Spirit Sea Realm.

But now, it seemed only if he was mentally deficient would he think so!

What’s a little dignity compared to the glory of the family?

As long as he could rise the Ling Family, even if he had to hand over the position of Family Head, it wouldn’t be a problem!

On the arena.

Ling Chen stared at Jin Ming who was howling in the distance and coldly said: "This is just a warning; if there’s a next time, I won’t mind making you disappear!"

After speaking, he then turned to Li Hongluo, his face revealing a smile again.

"Ling Chen wins!"

Li Hongluo also reacted.

Ling Chen gave a slight smile towards Li Hongluo and walked down from the arena.

"Brother Chen isn’t bad, huh!"

Lin Xiaodu patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, admiration flashing in her eyes.

The surrounding group of geniuses were startled and quickly retreated.

This Lin Xiaodu was born with a Poison Body; they didn’t want to come into contact with her.

"But, that guy outright insulted you as a ’pretty boy,’ why did you only injure him? Just kill him outright!"

Lin Xiaodu said.

Hearing this, the group of geniuses hurriedly moved even further away.

To think of killing someone just because they insulted you, truly befitting of Lin Xiaodu!

Ling Chen helplessly responded: "I have already warned him."

He had decided to stay as far away from Lin Xiaodu as possible in the future, otherwise he would surely be led astray and become a demon who kills at the slightest provocation!

Lin Xiaodu said, "People like that are simply despicable! If it were me, I wouldn’t bother wasting words on him! However, he did say one thing that’s not bad."

"What’s that?"

Ling Chen asked curiously.

"He called you a pretty boy!"

Lin Xiaodu giggled coquettishly.

"You’re young and have very fair skin, totally a pretty boy! Brother Chen, why don’t you be my pretty boy?"

Lin Xiaodu teased him.

The surrounding prodigies felt a chill listening to her.

Ling Chen leaned back slightly, staring at Lin Xiaodu, and said, "Is your butt itching for a beating again?"

Following Ling Chen’s gaze, Lin Xiaodu’s face flushed red, but she still retorted unabashedly, "Yeah, how about we find a secluded place tonight, and you help me scratch it?"

"Scram! Female hooligan!"

Ling Chen was defeated in the verbal spar.

Listening to the two flirtatiously bantering, especially with Ling Chen, the young prodigy, the others thought Lin Xiaodu was totally shameless.

"Lin Xiaodu, let’s talk something serious!"

Ling Chen said.

"What is it?"

Lin Xiaodu asked with a smile.

"Didn’t you say that after proving my strength, you would take me to do something big? What is that big thing?"

Ling Chen asked.

He had always been curious.

He had forgotten to ask yesterday due to some issues, and only now remembered.

"Did I say that?"

Lin Xiaodu blinked her big eyes.

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed; he understood she was tricking him!

"Lin Xiaodu, are you asking for another beating?"

Ling Chen said through gritted teeth.

This person was too wicked, always toying with him.

"Oh!"

Lin Xiaodu’s eyes shifted, and she quickly said, "I remember now."

"Speak!"

The words popped out from between Ling Chen’s teeth.

Lin Xiaodu hastily said, "You know my name, right?"

"Of course!"

Ling Chen nodded.

"Actually, I have another name, I’m called Lin Dashi (Big Event)!"

Lin Xiaodu said with a laugh.

"Lin Dashi?"

Ling Chen was stunned, then asked, "What does this have to do with the big event you mentioned?"

"My other name is Dashi, and when you said I’d take you to do a big event, what do you think it means?"

Lin Xiaodu shyly lowered her head.

Ling Chen felt emotionally exhausted.

...

The martial arts tournament continued.

As time passed, the gap in cultivation levels between the contestants narrowed, making the fights increasingly fierce.

By the end, each fight lasted about fifteen minutes.

After twenty rounds of fighting, it was noon.

After lunch and a rest for an hour, the tournament resumed.

This time, Qin Lie stepped onto the stage.

"Congratulations to the twenty prodigies who advanced, getting one step closer to those three exclusive spots."

Qin Lie spoke loudly, "Enough talk, let’s continue the tournament."

"This round will continue in the same manner as before. Based on the rankings, we’ll determine the order and opponents. I will now announce the updated rankings."

Soon, all twenty names were announced, with not much change in rankings. Only three Spirit Sea Realm second-layer powerhouses, who were previously ranked in the twenties, managed to defeat their higher-ranked opponents and advanced.

The top ten rankings remained completely unchanged.

All the prodigies who advanced were at least at the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

The only exception was Ling Chen, who was still in the early stage of the first layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!

But in the eyes of others, relying solely on his Spiritual Power to defeat Jin Guang, who used lower-grade Spirit Art, he was naturally considered as being at the second layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.
