Chapter 819: Chapter 819: The Competition Begins

"Brother Dongfang, what on earth are you blabbering about? How could I possibly do such a thing!"

"Isn’t that just me jumping into a pit of fire!"

"No, wait, Brother Dongfang, are you really thinking along these lines?"

Lin Chen suddenly had a thought and looked at Dongfang Yun, secretly wondering if this guy was actually considering it.

Unbeknownst to himself, after spending a lot of time with Dongfang Yun, Lin Chen also started to gossip.

"Lin Chen, don’t talk nonsense, how could I possibly!"

Dongfang Yun pouted, looking at Lin Chen, filled with helplessness. Initially, he wanted to laugh at Lin Chen, but Lin Chen unexpectedly turned the topic towards him.

Dongfang Yun’s master, Wang Ruxue, is known for her violent tendencies, so he felt nothing towards Qin Yushuang, who is also known for being violent.

Off in the distance, Qin Yushuang’s gaze was on Lin Chen and Dongfang Yun, always feeling that these two guys, intentionally or unintentionally, seemed to be looking at her. Could it be that their discussion was about her?

"What are you two talking about?"

Qin Yushuang approached Lin Chen and asked indifferently.

Seeing Qin Yushuang taking the initiative to approach Lin Chen made Dongfang Yun think there was some juicy gossip to relish.

So, he revealed a mischievous smile and turned his gaze towards Lin Chen.

"It’s nothing, just that Lin Chen just told me that he went to the Qin Family, met your ancestor, and wanted to bring up marriage, but after much hesitation, he didn’t dare to speak out. I was just encouraging him."

Dongfang Yun looked at Lin Chen with a wicked smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately felt that Dongfang Yun was just joking. When had he ever mentioned this? It was the Qin Family Ancestor, Qin Batian who had said it.

But he had never discussed this matter with Dongfang Yun at all; it was completely Dongfang Yun talking nonsense.

"What did you say? Mentioning marriage?"

Qin Yushuang looked at Dongfang Yun, glancing slightly at Lin Chen, her cheeks immediately blushing.

Could it be that Lin Chen wants to discuss marrying her with their ancestor?

Thinking this, Qin Yushuang’s cheeks turned even redder.

"Don’t listen to his nonsense. We were just talking about the Qin Family Ancestor. As for becoming Dao Companions, that’s utterly baseless. After all, I know my place and how can I be worthy of senior sister Qin."

"But this guy, Dongfang Yun, insists on talking nonsense, saying I’m an impressive talent."

"And he called you a tigress. I got angry as soon as I heard that word, so I argued with him..."

Lin Chen spoke earnestly.

Since Dongfang Yun was being unkind, don’t blame him for being unrighteous.

After hearing Lin Chen’s words, Qin Yushuang initially glared at Lin Chen, but hearing that he didn’t bring up the topic and felt unworthy of her, she felt a bit disappointed.

Then hearing that Dongfang Yun actually called her a tigress, a surge of anger burst from her.

"Dongfang Yun, I’m not done with you."

A powerful surge of energy exploded from Qin Yushuang, and Dongfang Yun immediately looked alarmed.

"The tigress unleashes her power, don’t come any closer. I tell you, I’ve recently broken through in cultivation, and you’re no match for me now!"

Dongfang Yun warned Qin Yushuang.

However, over these two years, not only he had had breakthroughs in cultivation battling the Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race army; Qin Yushuang also reached the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

Afterward, the sounds of Dongfang Yun getting beaten could occasionally be heard in front of Lin Chen’s mansion.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, secretly thinking that this was the outcome of Dongfang Yun’s loose tongue, self-inflicted and well-deserved!

...

Two days later, all powerful disciples who were out were called back, and the Formation Sect began the selection.

Originally, only disciples above the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm were eligible to participate in the selection, but considering Lin Chen’s exceptional combat power, the sect set the cultivation requirement at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

This competition, only Martial Artists above the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm could participate.

Two years ago, there weren’t many within the Formation Sect who were above Heavenly Human Realm.

Even Wu Chao, who ranked first among the Inner Sect Disciples, was only at the Peak Reverting Void Realm.

However, over these two years, Wu Chao’s cultivation has reached the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

This was the result of him constantly suppressing his cultivation for an explosive breakthrough.

Of course, the key was that, over these two years, the daily life and death battles against the Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race army greatly aided in the cultivation progress.

Not just Wu Chao, many other Inner Sect Disciples also broke through their cultivation within these two years, reaching above the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, and some even surpassing the True Disciples.

The competition began, and unsurprisingly, Lin Chen, Qin Kaifeng, Xia Wanxin, and Wu Chao ranked among the top fifty, battling with ease.

Among these fifty Martial Artists, besides the True Disciples, there were also Inner Sect Disciples who had battled the Dark Demon Race and Red Soul Hall in recent years.

During this competition, aside from Lin Chen and others, there was also someone who emerged from seclusion.

That was Chang Bai, who had been in seclusion ever since returning from the Void Continent.

Over these two years, Chang Bai had been continuously in seclusion, and now his cultivation had broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, even surpassing Wu Chao by a level.

Moreover, in the competition, Chang Bai’s performance was outstanding; even facing opponents who had reached the Half-Step Nirvana Realm among the True Disciples, he could easily defeat them without much effort or strain.

Chang Bai’s performance greatly pleased the higher-ups of the Formation Sect.

The talent displayed by Chang Bai completely surpassed that of the past Ten Great True Transmissions.

That is to say, Chang Bai’s performance now qualified him to enter the Ten Great True Transmissions.

However, to join the Ten Great True Transmissions, he still needed to challenge successfully to earn his position.

Aside from Chang Bai, another person’s performance was also exceptionally notable, and that was Lin Chen.
