Run Liao Jianhua to death

At this moment, the entire arena was in an uproar!

The scene took a dramatic turn, with Lin Chen's Spirit Dan far surpassing Liao Jianhua's in quality!

"Lin Chen! Lin Chen! Lin Chen!"

All the outer sect disciples in the arena were shouting Lin Chen's name! Today would be the moment when the outer sect disciples completely surpassed the inner sect disciples!

"How is this possible, how is this possible! My master said I'm a one-in-a-million alchemy genius, how could I lose to this outer sect mutt!"

Liao Jianhua's face was ghastly pale, he was murmuring in despair. When the capital of someone's arrogance is shattered, they become extremely fragile.

Gazing at Lin Chen who was the focus of everyone's attention and cheers, the youth's figure seemed calm and indifferent, not a hint of arrogance, just tranquil as a waveless sea, full of mystique.

"If only I hadn't been tempted by Liao Jianhua's potential back then..."

Su Qing'er was endlessly bitter inside, and finally couldn't help sobbing softly.

At this moment, Lin Chen who was enjoying everyone's attention did not become complacent. The instant he revealed the quality of the Spirit Dan, killing intent emerged!

"Azure Dragon Bloodline, activate; 70% power!"

In an instant, the entire arena sank into an endless abyss of murderous aura and raging dragon roars!

Lin Chen's figure turned into a blur, his left arm covered in faint azure dragon scales, he fiercely slapped out a palm, the air exploding and collapsing from being crushed!

The cheers across the arena stopped abruptly. No one expected Lin Chen would suddenly make a move. By the time people reacted, Lin Chen was only meters away from Liao Jianhua! Even Elder Qi was too late to stop it!

Liao Jianhua, who was on the verge of collapse, finally reacted, but the Azure Scaled Palm containing over 4000 tiger forces ruthlessly smashed down on his crown!

Bang!

A muffled boom rang out, Lin Chen's palm slap shattered Liao Jianhua's body. The latter didn't even have time to scream, his entire flesh and bones instantly smashed into a bloody mist!

The instant Liao Jianhua died, Lin Chen's body involuntarily trembled, as if some shackles and knots in his heart came undone.

Liao Jianhua's corpse dropped six Attribute Spheres and a faint azure box, which Lin Chen grabbed.

【Host has obtained 5442 Vitality, 584 Spirit, 2344 Battle Qi Essence, 3044 Inner Power, and one Mystic Iron Chest.】

【Host opens Mystic Iron Chest, obtained intermediate footwork martial skill《Wind Lightning Steps》Green Grade.】

After killing Liao Jianhua, Lin Chen first refined his Attribute Spheres. His aura rumbled and roared, the sea of qi in his dantian quivered, about to split again!

At the same time, he was fully focused and on high alert, madly absorbing the Vitality to enlarge the power of his Azure Dragon Arm, wary of Elder Qi's counterattack!

The arena fell into a brief silence, many disciples shocked by Lin Chen's ruthless decisiveness!

Two breaths later, a howl of anguish sounded!

"Bastard, you actually dared to kill Jianhua, I'm going to slaughter you!"

Elder Qi went mad, his battle qi surging, about to attack Lin Chen, when a hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Elder Qi, would you defy our Sect's orders?"

The Sect Leader's indifferent voice instantly pulled Elder Qi back from his madness.

"Sect Leader, Jianhua was our Sect's peerless genius, how could you let this brat..."

"But I've given you a chance, have I not? Moreover, now we have an even better genius than Liao Jianhua."

The Sect Leader interrupted Elder Qi's unwilling pleas, his calm voice containing undeniable prestige.

"Then... I'll obey the Sect Leader's decision!"

Elder Qi fiercely gritted his teeth, shooting a malicious look at Lin Chen before leaving in a huff.

Although Elder Qi had a high status, the Sect Leader was the Shenwu Sect's only Martial Spirit realm powerhouse. His word carried tens of thousands times more weight than anyone else!

"Heh heh, Lin Chen killing Liao Jianhua settles the result of the alchemy wager. Today, I personally declare that Lin Chen will be promoted from outer disciple to the strongest inner disciple, no objections allowed."

The Sect Leader waved his hand grandly to announce the result. Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief that the Sect Leader didn't even bat an eye at Liao Jianhua's death.

The domineering nature of a warlord was fully revealed.

"Lin Chen, come with me to Qingyun Hall, I have something to discuss with you."

The Sect Leader summoned Lin Chen by name, many inner disciples looking at him with envy. Gaining the Sect Leader's favor was an excellent chance to soar in the Shenwu Sect!

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he nodded calmly without revealing anything.

As the disciples watched Lin Chen follow the Sect Leader away, they gradually dispersed, still not satisfied.

Shenwu Sect, Qingyu Hall. Located atop the central mountain peak.

All the Elders departed, leaving only Lin Chen and the Sect Leader.

"Lin Chen, come with me."

The Sect Leader brought Lin Chen out of the main hall, heading up the mountain peak.

Lin Chen was puzzled, but didn't dare be negligent at all, closely following the Sect Leader.

As they walked up the peak, Lin Chen felt some mysterious power on the top that was limiting their movement.

It became increasingly difficult to walk, like his feet carried hundreds of thousands of pounds, as if an invisible force was blocking him. If not for Lin Chen's physique being far beyond normal people, he would have had to circulate his inner qi to move forward.

Finally, they stood below a flight of 500 stone steps leading up to an altar.

Seeing the altar, Lin Chen's eyes lit up sharply!

Every step below the altar was piled full of Attribute Spheres, at least several hundred in total! There were also three hovering chests!

"Damn, so many Attribute Spheres, if I grab them all, my strength will shoot up again!"

Licking his lips, Lin Chen was wild with joy!

"This stone altar has existed since our Shenwu Sect was founded. In over a dozen generations of disciples since, no one has been able to climb it. We don't know what exists on top. You are our Sect's most outstanding disciple, so I want you to try climbing it. Only your young generation can ascend, us old folks can't."

The Sect Leader smiled and explained to Lin Chen, who agreed without hesitation, "Alright, I'll try!"

Regardless of what treasures were at the top, just the dazzling amount of Attribute Spheres was worth a trip for Lin Chen!

He stepped onto the first stair, the surging pressure weighing down his every pore. But with over a thousand tiger forces, Lin Chen didn't feel too much pressure. He bent down and picked up over a dozen Attribute Spheres in a row.

Next was the second, third, fourth step. Lin Chen shamelessly bent down grabbing in front of the Sect Leader!

【Host has obtained 5422 Vitality, 754 Water Elemental, 578 Battle Qi Essence, 972 Inner Power, 355 Spirit...】

【Host opens Mystic Iron Chest, obtained top-tier martial skill 《Demon Subduing Four Symbols Seal》Green Grade.】

It felt so damn good! If not for the Sect Leader being present, Lin Chen's mouth would have split from smiling. All the way fervently grabbing Attribute Spheres, he completely ignored the pressure of the altar. 80 steps, 100 steps, 150 steps, going higher and higher!

"How has this brat's strength grown so quickly! Could he have seen through the altar's secrets and opportunities?" The Sect Leader was doubtful and suspicious, eyes narrowed.
