"The first round of Wuji Zong's martial arts competition, ascending to Wuji Palace, officially begins!"
"You have half an hour. When the time is up, those who cannot enter the Wuji Palace will be eliminated!"
The great elder announced the rules of the competition, and soon the crowd rushed to climb the stone steps.
Lin Chen was neither in a hurry nor slow, just like strolling in a leisurely courtyard.
Chu Liuguang's footsteps were like wind. In just one minute, he reached the twenty-seventh floor. He glanced back and found that Lin Chen was still on the fifth floor. His face was filled with sarcasm.
"You're a loser. I've warned you a long time ago. You have to be embarrassed! Why do you want to enter Wuji Hall and dream about it?" After Chu Liuguang finished speaking, he strode to the thirtieth floor quickly.
Her talent is astonishing, leaving other true disciples far behind.
The disciples of the inner sect and the outer sect were even unable to keep up with her.
Lin Chen's expression was calm, as if he didn't hear Chu Liuguang's words at all.
Suddenly, Lin Chen stepped out one after another, like a strong wind sweeping fallen leaves, faster than Chu Liuguang!
Chu Liuguang was shocked.
Without paying attention, Lin Chen arrived at the thirtieth stone step, not far from her.
Just now, Lin Chen was just adapting to the pressure of the stone steps and took a few steps casually.
Once you get used to it, you will be able to walk quickly!
Chu Liuguang gritted his teeth, and the spiritual power in his body exploded. In just a few breaths, he rushed to the fiftieth floor.
Just as she was about to turn around, she noticed that a figure in white flew past her, incredibly fast.
Lin Chen surpassed her!
"This is impossible!"
Chu Liuguang's expression changed drastically and his eyes widened.
In the audience, Huangfuyi's originally relaxed expression turned ugly at this moment.
Lin Chen's speed was incredibly fast, and he even used Lingbo footwork.
The other Wuji Sect disciples, under the huge pressure of the stone steps, could only move forward slowly, unable to display their physical martial arts at all.
Lin Chen felt as if he was walking on flat ground.
Chu Liuguang worked hard and climbed to the 40th floor. In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had reached the top and entered the Wuji Hall!
Chu Liuguang stayed where he was, doubting his own strength, and his heart was almost broken.
In the audience, the face of the Holy Son Huangfu Yi was even more gloomy.
He wanted Lin Chen to make a fool of himself, but unexpectedly, Lin Chen surprised everyone.
In the history of Wuji Sect, the person who climbed to the top of Wuji Palace in the shortest time was probably Lin Chen.
The Great Elder's face was a little gloomy. He didn't like Lin Chen because Lin Chen was once a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect.
There were many geniuses in Wuji Sect, but their talents were suppressed by Lin Chen.
Last year at the Qingzhou Martial Arts Conference, Lin Chen severely injured Huangfu Yi, leaving Wu Ji Zong in disgrace.
Huangfu Yi and Chu Liuguang are both direct disciples of the Great Elder.
The Great Elder valued Huangfu Yi very much and tried his best to train him.
Chu Liuguang is also an extremely outstanding disciple of the Great Elder, ranking first among the true disciples.
Today, Chu Liuguang was disgraced. In the first round of the Wuji Sect's martial arts competition, she should have been the most dazzling person!
In Wuji Hall, Lin Chen stood with his hands behind his back, and there was a statue in front of him.
The statue of Wu Sheng!
The founding emperor of the Dayu Dynasty was a martial saint.
The Martial Saint Realm is a top existence in all major dynasties, just like a myth.
All major sects in the Dayu Dynasty worshiped the Martial Saint Dayu.
The whole body of the statue is shining with golden light, it is sacred and solemn, and it exudes a coercion invisibly.
It's just a statue of the Martial Saint, but it makes people have the urge to worship.
Behind Lin Chen, Chu Liuguang walked in.
It took her eight minutes to reach the top of Wuji Palace. Her result was considered excellent, but compared with Lin Chen, it was not good at all.
Chu Liuguang stared at Lin Chen's back with vicious eyes.
Lin Chen simply ignored her.
The statue of the Martial Saint Dayu gave Lin Chen a strange feeling, as if the Martial Saint was right in front of him, giving him a sense of intimacy.
For some reason, Lin Chen seemed to be able to sense Wu Sheng's will.
Time passed and half an hour passed.
In the end, only more than two hundred disciples successfully arrived at Wuji Hall.
There were more than two thousand disciples participating in the first round of martial arts competition, and only one tenth passed.
Many disciples arrived at the last moment and were on the verge of elimination.
They looked at Lin Chen as if they were looking at a monster, unbelievable!
"This boy, he must not cheat anymore!"
"The stone steps are blessed by formations, and the pressure is extremely high. How can he be the first to climb to the top of Wuji Palace without even having a martial spirit!"
"Senior Sister Chu has a four-star spirit bird spirit and is good at speed. She can't even reach the top first, so why should Lin Chen do it!"
Various comments broke out, and many disciples of Wuji Sect had their eyes red.
Lin Chen was once a genius, but now that his martial spirit has been abolished, he is still such a monster, which they cannot accept.
During the process of ascending to the Wuji Palace, Lin Chen did not release his martial spirit. Of course they would not know that Lin Chen had awakened an even more heaven-defying martial spirit!
"quiet!"
Outside the main hall, a majestic voice came.
The great elder stepped on the spiritual sword and entered Wuji Hall directly.
"Worship the Martial Saint!"
The great elder gave the order, his face extremely serious.
Visiting the statue of Wu Sheng is a ritual to express respect for the Wu Sheng of Dayu.
Led by Chu Liuguang, many disciples knelt on their knees and worshiped the statue of the Martial Saint with pious expressions.
Only Lin Chen stood up straight and had no intention of kneeling down.
Lin Chen entered a strange state and seemed to have established a connection with the Wu Sheng statue.
The great elder came in and asked all the disciples to kneel down, but Lin Chen didn't even know.
"Bold Lin Chen! How dare you disrespect the Martial Saint!"
Chu Liuguang shouted loudly, his eyes full of teasing.
She was worried that she had no reason to deal with Lin Chen, but now she was fine, Lin Chen didn't even worship the statue of Wu Sheng!
"Lin Chen! Didn't you hear what I said? Kneel down!"
The great elder was furious, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Suddenly, the Wu Sheng statue shook, and the Wu Sheng statue made of pure gold collapsed and disintegrated, leaking out a large amount of golden juice!
The great elder was shocked, and all the disciples were even more horrified!
No one touched the Wu Sheng statue, but the statue suddenly collapsed, and everyone didn't know why.
The moment the Martial Saint's statue collapsed, a ray of Martial Saint's will entered the inner space of Linglong Tower!
No one noticed that the Martial Saint's will had dissipated.
Lin Chen was extremely surprised that Linglong Tower could absorb the will of the Martial Saint!
"Senior, what kind of treasure is this Linglong Tower, and why does it have such heaven-defying abilities!"
Lin Chen's thoughts were confused and he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he tried to contact Empress Linglong.
"The Linglong Tower is in a sealed state. Absorbing the Martial Saint's will can unlock some of its abilities, but that wisp of the Martial Saint's will is too weak."
A cold voice sounded in Lin Chen's sea of consciousness.
Empress Linglong is the master of Linglong Tower, but this tower seems to be helpful to Lin Chen.
Linglong Tower absorbed the Martial Saint's will, and Lin Chen felt a warm feeling on his body, which made him feel very comfortable.
"Bold Lin Chen, because you were disrespectful to the Wu Sheng statue, which caused the Wu Sheng statue to collapse, do you know your guilt?" Chu Liuguang sneered.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him strangely, knowing that Chu Liuguang was making excuses.
"Idiot! If someone doesn't worship the Martial Saint, the statue will collapse. How can it remain standing for hundreds of years?"
"What does the collapse of the Martial Saint Statue have to do with Lin Chen and me? Chu Liuguang, is your mind filled with mush?"
Anger flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, Chu Liuguang repeatedly provoked him, and the clay figurine was also very angry!
Lin Chen didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble, but if anyone dared to mess with him, he would pay back double the amount!
"Lin Chen, you don't respect the Martial Saint, and you are not suitable to continue participating in martial arts competitions!" The great elder suddenly spoke, his face full of gloom.
"May I ask the great elder, does Wuji Sect have a rule that those who do not worship the martial arts icon cannot participate in martial arts competitions?" Lin Chen smiled.
The great elder wants to disqualify him from the competition!
"There are no rules! What I say is the rule!" The great elder snorted coldly, releasing a terrifying momentum.
He is a strong man at the pinnacle of the Linghai Realm. He holds a high position. It is easy to suppress a young man whose martial spirit has been abolished.
The terrible pressure was released, and everyone in Wuji Hall had their legs weak and knelt on the ground shaking.
The great elder's pressure was only aimed at Lin Chen, but other disciples were also affected, and even Chu Liuguang's face instantly turned pale.
"Lin Chen, you are just a disciple of the sect, but you dare to question me in public, you are disrespectful to me! Kneel down!"
The Great Elder's eyes were fierce, and the pressure at the peak of the Spiritual Sea Realm was as heavy as a mountain!
Lin Chen, however, stood tall and straight, like a sharp sword, and would never give in.
The great elder's expression changed slightly. Lin Chen's martial spirit was crippled, but he could still persist under his pressure. It was indeed extraordinary!
"Great Elder, it's over!"
Suddenly, outside Wuji Hall, a woman in a blue dress walked up. She was extremely beautiful, plump in figure, and had a cool temperament. She exuded an inexplicable majesty, like an iceberg snow lotus.
Lin Chen's eyes lit up, she was here!
