Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1057: Conspiracy on the Cliff

When Shu Yun reached the bottom of the cliff, she was already feeling breathless, but behind her, Lin Chen showed no signs of exertion, his face unchanged.

”Are you a monster?” Shu Yun looked at Lin Chen with utter disbelief.

One must know, this mountain path was extremely difficult to traverse, and no ordinary person could keep up with her speed just now.

Yet Lin Chen shadowed her closely, quickening when Shu Yun quickened, and slowing when she slowed.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”Senior Sister Shu Yun, don’t get too excited. Look, yours is opened.”

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Shu Yun looked down and couldn’t help but blush.

Probably from exerting too much force just now, the buttons on her top had popped open.

No wonder this bastard kept speeding up while looking in her direction.

Shu Yun hurriedly turned around and fastened the buttons.

About half an hour later, the others began arriving one after another.

An Ningning, Hong Liang, and Yao Lei all successfully reached the cliffside.

When the twentieth person reached the cliff, Shu Yun drew a line on the ground.

”The top twenty will advance; the rest of you, please head back.” Shu Yun said expressionlessly to those still arriving.

Those who were breathless upon arriving at the cliff heard Shu Yun’s words and their faces turned extremely ugly.

But there was nothing to be done; this was the cruelty of the exam.

In the end, aside from the top twenty, the others were all eliminated.

Lin Chen watched the departing contestants with a furrowed brow, realizing that the test at the Medicine Sect was even more brutal than he had imagined.

The ones who stayed didn’t have much joy on their faces; they looked tense, eager to know what the next challenge would be.

Shu Yun looked at the remaining people and smiled faintly, pointing to the cliff above. The next test is to climb this cliff. The top ten will advance, while the other ten will be eliminated.

Upon hearing Shu Yun’s words, the twenty contestants looked up and gasped.

The cliff was both high and steep, with few footholds. Climbing it would be difficult, and it required speed.

Yao Lei looked at the cliff with a cold smile on his lips, whispering to a few people beside him, ”Let’s make our move here. I want that guy to go home.”

”Rest assured, young master. If we join forces, that brat is dead today,” said a burly young man with a ferocious expression.

Yao Lei nodded, ”Don’t worry, as long as you take care of this, once you enter the Medicine Sect, I’ll recommend you to join the Yao Gate.”

”Thank you, young master.” Hearing this, those few were ecstatic.

Once inside the Medicine Sect, the hierarchy was strict and there were many small factions. Joining a good faction meant gaining more cultivation resources in the future; otherwise, they would be exploited at the bottom level of the Medicine Sect.

Yao Lei’s brother was a hall master in the Yao Gate. With this backing, their future was surely promising.

Although their voices were low, Lin Chen heard everything clearly.

”Yao Lei is indeed up to no good. Since he wants to trip me up, he can’t blame me.”

Shu Yun looked at the time and said to them, ”I’ll wait for you at the top of the mountain, using any means. The top ten will advance.”

Then, Shu Yun’s body moved like a monkey, swiftly leaping on the rocks, reaching the top of the cliff in a few quick flashes.

The others also rushed to find advantageous positions to climb to the top.

In fact, climbing this cliff was a piece of cake for Lin Chen, but he climbed slowly with the others toward the top.

Soon, a few people around Yao Lei quietly approached Lin Chen, eventually surrounding him.

As Lin Chen was climbing up, suddenly, a person to his left-front kicked with force at the hand he was using to grip the rock.

This kick was very insidious. Lin Chen was in midair, supported only by his grip on the cliff face. One kick and he would surely fall off the cliff.

Yao Lei watched as the foot came down on Lin Chen’s hand, a cold smile in his eyes.

”Kid, you’re far from being able to compete with me,” Yao Lei’s eyes flickered with a cold light.

However, just as he was waiting to see the tragic scene of Lin Chen falling off the cliff, the next scene left him stunned.

The person who was about to kick Lin Chen suddenly twitched in midair and fell straight down the cliff.

”What the hell is going on?” Yao Lei was dumbfounded.

Thud!

That person fell to the bottom of the cliff.

However, there was no scene of shattering. The person bounced off the ground as if landing on a spring bed.

Apparently, there was a formation under the cliff, Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Without the formation, falling from such a height would surely lead to broken bones and death at the scene.

”Damn, that fool messed up himself,” Yao Lei cursed when he saw the boy fall.

At this moment, that boy’s eyes were filled with fear, as if looking at a monster while gazing at Lin Chen climbing up.

He had clearly stepped on Lin Chen’s hand, but the sensation was terrifying.

It was as if he had stepped on a power switch, and a current ran through his entire body, causing him to fall off the cliff.

The first one to make a move failed, which startled the other accomplices.

They didn’t attribute it to Lin Chen, thinking only that that fool hadn’t grabbed the cliff properly and fell.

Then, Yao Lei signaled to two others.

The two quietly approached Lin Chen and suddenly grabbed his ankles.

Seeing this, An Ningning, not far away, was shocked.

”Lin Chen, watch out!”

But before she could finish, two miserable cries echoed in the valley.

”Ah!”

An Ningning’s heart sank as she looked towards Lin Chen, but to her surprise, Lin Chen was fine, still on the cliff face, while the two who grabbed his legs had fallen off.

In a mere moment, two people had already fallen to the bottom, and they ended worse than the first, clutching their charred hands and howling in pain.

”What on earth is going on?”

By now, everyone noticed something strange.

Usually, even in such competitive trials, few would openly sabotage others.

After all, all participants were elite from various families, and if things were too obvious, it would certainly provoke the other families’ vengeance.

Yet Lin Chen was attacked multiple times, clearly targeted.

An Ningning suddenly realized, looking towards Yao Lei not far away.

”It must be that bastard taking revenge on Lin Chen!” An Ningning angrily clenched her fists.

With three consecutive failed attacks on Lin Chen, Yao Lei frowned, realizing this wasn’t a coincidence. This guy definitely had some tricks up his sleeve.
