Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1953: Chapter 1954: Emerging from the Celestial Pool

”What!?”

Seeing Lin Chen unleash his aura, many people present were taken aback.

Ning Yan stared at Lin Chen in disbelief. It had only been a month, yet Lin Chen had jumped two levels, advancing from Divine Warrior five to Divine Warrior seven, while he himself remained stuck at Divine Warrior nine.

Moreover, Lin Chen could withstand his attacks even at Divine Warrior five. With two more breakthroughs, his strength must have surged, while Ning Yan’s remained stagnant. Wouldn’t it mean that if Lin Chen wanted to defeat him now, it wouldn’t be difficult?

Ning Yan found it hard to accept this reality, but Lin Chen’s cultivation was right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

Initially in disbelief, Ning Yan’s expression gradually morphed into one of frenzied jealousy.

”Why!? Why can Lin Chen break through? Before coming, I was fully prepared to advance to half-step Divine Spirit, but now there’s no change, while Lin Chen has directly broken through! It’s unfair!”

Ning Yan’s heart roared continuously, but he could only clench his fists, not daring to confront Lin Chen, because he knew Lin Chen was beyond his match now. As difficult as it was to admit, it was the truth!

Yun Tianxing, Xuan Yan, and Qin Wan also looked quite surprised, because their impression was that Lin Chen’s cultivation was still at Divine Warrior five, with extraordinary combat ability. Now, however, Lin Chen had devoured almost all of the Spiritual Liquid and successfully reached Divine Warrior seven.

They witnessed Lin Chen’s combat prowess firsthand, and now even they were unsure if they could defeat him.

Yun Tianxing’s gaze was complex, while Xuan Yan and Qin Wan showed peculiar expressions, seemingly quite interested in Lin Chen.

It’s little known that Xuan Yan himself was a battle enthusiast. Previously, he never felt like fighting Lin Chen, viewing him as merely a thief of their battle achievements. But now, seeing Lin Chen break through two levels in just a month and realizing his combat power far exceeded appearances, his inner battle instincts were stirred.

Qin Wan also looked at Lin Chen with great interest; amongst those present, she probably understood his strength the most. She had sparred with Lin Chen and knew, deep down, that this seemingly gentle and easily bullied man possessed formidable trump cards even she found hard to overpower!

As for Qian Jin and others, they were even more shocked, especially Qian Jin. He knew Lin Chen could defeat him at Divine Warrior five, and while he made some progress recently, compared to Lin Chen’s leap across two levels, his own strength clearly paled in comparison!

At this moment, Lin Chen had no mind to concern himself with others’ thoughts. Even after his breakthrough, the abundant Spiritual Liquid continued to flow from his Dantian, forcing him to keep absorbing and compressing it. He didn’t want his power to rise too rapidly. He understood that skyrocketing strength wasn’t necessarily a good thing; uncontrolled power was better left undisturbed!

Gradually, the energy of the Spiritual Liquid was finally exhausted, and Lin Chen’s cultivation stabilized at mid Divine Warrior seven. But the biggest change was in the small lotus within his Dantian.

Through Lin Chen’s Divine Sense, the small lotus seemed more solid, emanating Spiritual Energy. It was clearly no ordinary object.

Currently, Lin Chen couldn’t discern the specific changes in the small lotus, so he decided not to dwell on it. When he opened his eyes, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

The Celestial Pool was now devoid of any Spiritual Liquid, revealing the black stones beneath, giving off a desolate vibe. Although Lin Chen had been cultivating with closed eyes, he was aware of what transpired. He knew that most of the initially abundant Spiritual Liquid had been absorbed by him, or more accurately, that small lotus had absorbed about eighty percent, while he refined roughly twenty percent. Nonetheless, the fact that the amount was originally sufficient for twenty people was astonishing, ensuring some breakthroughs even for non-breakthrough cultivators.

In truth, Lin Chen had absorbed only what the lotus refined after compression, though others were unaware.

Now, Yun Tianxing coldly glared at Lin Chen and shouted:

”Lin Chen, how dare you use a treasure to devour the Spiritual Liquid! You realize this is a grave offense! Our sects could easily join forces to banish you!”

Lin Chen’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Ultimately, absorbing the Spiritual Liquid from the Celestial Pool was inherently unfair, given everyone absorbed and refined at their own pace. Was fast cultivation a crime?

”If you can provide evidence, then I have nothing else to say. Otherwise, I suggest you keep quiet!”

”You!!”

”Fine! You’ll eat your words. Once outside, the elders will see your little tricks won’t escape their notice!”

Yun Tianxing refused to believe that Lin Chen could truly refine the entire pool’s Spiritual Liquid, and indeed, the liquid was refined by the lotus. However, since the lotus was part of Lin Chen’s body, he wasn’t using external assistance.

After all, using one’s Dantian for cultivation wasn’t cheating, was it?

So Lin Chen remained fearless toward the elders’ scrutiny, confident nobody could uncover his Dantian’s secrets.

With all the Spiritual Liquid consumed, everyone reluctantly exited the cave.

Once outside, they moved toward their respective camps, but it was clear the elders looked disappointed and puzzled.

Logically, their disciples’ cultivation should have advanced. Even if they didn’t break through, their aura should have strengthened, yet the observed changes were minimal.

Only Sword Bone’s eyes lit up upon seeing Lin Chen. Naturally, his keen eye could perceive Lin Chen’s cultivation, not to mention Lin Chen’s recent breakthrough left him unable to perfectly conceal his aura.

But Sword Bone also noticed that aside from Lin Chen, the aura of other people remained unchanged.

As he pondered this, Yun Tianxing’s voice rang out:

”Elder! It’s that Lin Chen from the Heavenly Sword sect! He used an external force to take all the Spiritual Liquid from the Celestial Pool, leaving us without any to refine!”

”Such a thing could happen?”
