Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Outside the light screen, countless eyes focused.

Lin Chen and Yu Nanchun confronted each other, the air seemed to solidify, burdened by the heavy enmity between the Canglan Sect and the Eight Desolates Sect spanning millennia.

Yu Nanchun’s lips curled into a mocking arc, and his aura suddenly erupted!

A wild and domineering energy swept out, instantaneously condensing into a nearly tangible giant spear in his hand, composed of dense earthen yellow energy.

”Eight Desolations Mountain-Sundering Spear—Mountain-breaking!”

Yu Nanchun roared thunderously, like rolling thunder. He suddenly charged forward, causing the ground to tremble.

The spear, infused with tremendous earth element energy, tore through the air with terrifying momentum, as if to split mountains and crush the earth, brazenly thrusting towards Lin Chen!

When disciples from the two sects face off, words are unnecessary, as are courtesies.

As the spearhead passed, the space groaned under the pressure, yellow light dazzling, the aura was frightening!

”Such powerful strength, it really is the Eight Desolates Sect, now this is interesting.”

The martial artists watching had a gleam in their eyes; a fight breaks out at the slightest disagreement, making this battle exciting.

The Eight Desolates Sect is renowned for its strong power and domineering martial arts, deservedly famous.

Conversely, the Canglan Sect specializes in the stealthy strike amidst silence, many of Canglan Sect’s martial arts techniques lack imposing presence.

”Senior Brother Yu, destroy him.”

The disciples of the Eight Desolates Sect were cheering for Yu Nanchun at this moment.

Lin Chen slightly squinted his eyes, facing Yu Nanchun’s overwhelming spear, seemingly able to crush everything, he contemplated using the Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique to challenge and see if the opponent could pierce through his divine face.

But ultimately he dismissed the thought, the reason being that, the opponent came from the Eight Desolates Sect.

Facing the disciples of the Eight Desolates Sect, every Canglan Sect disciple must not only win but win beautifully.

Nothing would be more prestigious than defeating Eight Desolates Sect disciples with Canglan Sect’s martial arts, it would prevent the Eight Desolates Sect from finding any excuse to explain.

The Inextinguishable Divine Face Technique is not one of Canglan Sect’s martial arts; it was brought back from some ruins by a Canglan Sect senior, using it to defeat Yu Nanchun, the Eight Desolates Sect would not accept.

”Lin Chen, come on, I want to see if your martial arts, not of Canglan Sect, can withstand my move.”

Yu Nanchun roared, as if discussing knowledge of Canglan Sect, no one in the Flame Dynasty knew better than the Eight Desolates Sect. Since Lin Chen displayed those flame wings for the first time at Martial Arts Mountain, Yu Nanchun had learned from elders that what Lin Chen was performing was not Canglan Sect’s martial arts technique.

Moreover, Yu Nanchun was aware that Lin Chen hadn’t been in the Canglan Sect for long.

Other sects wouldn’t concern themselves with innate martial artists and disciples under twenty years old in Canglan Sect, but Eight Desolates Sect paid attention, even knowing that the number one genius under twenty in Canglan Sect before and not long ago was Qiao Yuan, and he always considered Qiao Yuan his opponent.

Now with Lin Chen emerging from Canglan Sect suddenly, there’s only one possibility: Lin Chen has just joined the sect, and belongs to those who brought martial arts techniques in joining Canglan Sect, and hasn’t had time to cultivate Canglan Sect’s martial arts techniques.

Even if cultivated, it’s likely the mastery level isn’t high.

This is the judgment of the sect elders, and he trusts their judgment, hence he deliberately uses words to provoke Lin Chen.

Once Lin Chen falls for it, using Canglan Sect’s martial arts techniques, the power will certainly diminish.

”As you wish.”

Understanding Yu Nanchun’s intentions, Lin Chen’s mind was clear. His right arm lifted suddenly, fingers as if a sword, the energy within condensed at his fingertips, it was indeed Canglan Sect’s iconic martial arts: Canglan Finger.

Seeing Lin Chen perform Canglan Finger, many Canglan Sect disciples were puzzled; Canglan Finger is indeed powerful, but that depends on the comparison. If not cultivated to the third level, Canglan Finger cannot rival the Eight Desolates Mountain-Breaking Technique of the Eight Desolates Sect.

”His Canglan Finger seems different.”

Qiao Yuan watched Lin Chen perform Canglan Finger, visibly puzzled, capturing the detail at Lin Chen’s fingertips, the energy there didn’t immediately thrust outward, instead it subtly retracted inward.

This was not the usual method of releasing Canglan Finger.

Upon Qiao Yuan’s remark, Ji Cangtian and Du Xiaofeng smiled slightly; they naturally knew why Lin Chen’s Canglan Finger had minor differences, it was due to the Canglan Force.

...

On Martial Arts Mountain, witnessing Lin Chen perform Canglan Finger, Yu Nanchun’s eyes sparkled; Lin Chen had indeed been misled.

Canglan Sect’s Canglan Finger, he was very familiar with.

In terms of power, it was definitively inferior to his Eight Desolates Mountain-Breaking Technique.

If he seized the advantage with the first move, the Eight Desolates Mountain-Breaking Technique would remain unstoppable, leaving Lin Chen without a chance to counter.

As the Canglan energy at the fingertip slightly retracted inward, a unique spiral force, like an undercurrent, instantly merged into the Canglan energy.

Whizz!

The Canglan energy at Lin Chen’s fingertip re-emerged, the space around his fingertip was enveloped in a deep blue distortion.

”Canglan Finger!”

With Lin Chen’s soft call, the Canglan energy shot out from between his fingers, in an instant transforming into a giant finger, at the moment the giant finger appeared, the surrounding space twisted again, thoroughly becoming a deep blue, precisely colliding with the menacing tip of the huge spear!

Boom—!

The deafening explosion resounded on the battlefield of Martial Arts Mountain!

All martial artists watching held their breath at this moment; everyone was aware that Lin Chen and Yu Nanchun’s confrontation had left nothing behind.

In the imagination of the Eight Desolates Sect disciples, the scene of Canglan Finger being shattered by the giant spear did not appear, nor did the predicted stalemate by the martial artists observing.

The icy blue finger beam, enveloped with Canglan Force, erupted sharply upon contact with the spear tip!

The force and the inherent spiral twisting power united, causing the seemingly unbreakable earthen yellow giant spear, the spearhead to shatter and disintegrate inch by inch before everyone’s eyes!

In the view of all martial artists watching, not only did Yu Nanchun’s spearhead fracture, but the entire spear also collapsed under this finger, transforming into fragments of earthen yellow light across the sky!

”What!”

”This is impossible!”

Countless disciples of the Eight Desolates Sect exclaimed, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Yu Nanchun’s face, which had a smile from his successful scheme moments ago, instantly froze, replaced by a look of astonishment.

The Eight Desolates Mountain-Breaking Technique that he was so proud of was crushed so casually by the opponent using just a basic move like the Canglan Finger?

He was well aware of the Canglan Finger from the Canglan Sect, and Lin Chen had merely performed a random point without unleashing the full power of the Canglan Finger.

How could it be!

”Is this the Eight Desolates Mountain-Breaking Technique of your Eight Desolates Sect? The power is only so much, can’t even withstand a single point of my Canglan Finger?”

Lin Chen’s voice carried contempt, his movements did not stop, and amidst the scattered yellow light, he closed in like an elusive specter.

Yu Nanchun was both angry and shocked, hurriedly gathering protective Gang Qi while rapidly retreating, but he shouted, ”Don’t be too complacent, that was just my...”

However, before he could finish his words, Lin Chen’s second finger had already pointed.

This time, it was no longer pure ice-blue light. Within the enormous finger, there was an extremely sinister hue, as if capable of swallowing light, a color of darkness.

Canglan Force, fully unleashed.

Hiss!

The finger touched Yu Nanchun’s hastily gathered protective Gang Qi, not with an earth-shattering explosion, but with a bizarre sound of dissolution.

The earth-yellow Gang Qi around Yu Nanchun’s body dissolved rapidly, like early snow under a blazing sun, visible to the naked eye.

”Ah!” Yu Nanchun let out a toiling scream, his protective Gang Qi shattered instantly, his whole body struck as if by a heavy hammer. The finger landed on him, sending him flying uncontrollably, spraying fresh blood from his mouth.

Bam!

A moment later, Yu Nanchun landed in a pitiful state on the ground dozens of yards away, creating a shallow pit as dust flew.

This scene left the entire Eight Desolates Sect disciples watching, instantly silent.

Senior Brother Yu was defeated?

They couldn’t accept this moment; Lin Chen took only two fingers to defeat Senior Brother Yu.

Compared to the silence and oppression of the Eight Desolates Sect disciples, the Canglan Sect erupted in thunderous cheers.

”He won!”

”Senior Brother Lin won.”

”From today, Senior Brother Lin is the first in my heart under twenty years old, nothing can shake Senior Brother Lin’s position in my heart.”

For the disciples of the Canglan Sect, defeating Yu Nanchun from the Eight Desolates Sect, and doing so cleanly and efficiently, was even more thrilling than reaching the summit of Martial Arts Mountain.

In the Canglan Main Hall Plaza, Qiao Yuan’s stern face finally showed a smile at this moment.

”Little Junior Brother truly... strengthens the prestige of our sect.”

Chai Daoqi’s eyes gleamed, defeating Yu Nanchun meant there were no more worries for Little Junior Brother.

Even if subsequent attempts at the summit failed, the sect would no longer mock nor offer sarcastically derisive remarks.

...

At this moment.

The multitude of Martial Artists across the Flame Dynasty watched that carefree figure, a massive wave stirring in their hearts.

This was true domination.

With just two points of the Canglan Finger, he easily overwhelmed Yu Nanchun.

In the East Sea Divine Palace, Zhang Xu laughed wryly; Junior Brother Lin had indeed been lenient with him.

Meanwhile, those few Innate Martial Artists who had conceded earlier wore expressions of relief; thankfully, they had the foresight to admit defeat, otherwise, it would be them suffering a miserable defeat instead of Yu Nanchun right now.

...

...

”This person, his strength is not weak.”

In a certain grand hall, a young man looked deeply at Lin Chen in the light screen. The next moment, withdrawing his gaze from the screen, left behind this comment before walking outside, leaving the other youths present behind.

”Senior Brother Xiang?”

Many disciples within the grand hall watched the departing figure with confusion in their eyes.

”Senior Brother Xiang, where are you going?”

The challenge of Lin Chen to reach the summit wasn’t over yet, why was Senior Brother Xiang leaving, not watching the subsequent matches?

”Going into seclusion.”

Xiang Zhong did not turn back, giving the answer: ”This person has the strength to challenge the top five.”

Hearing this, all the disciples in the grand hall were in uproar; Lin Chen has the strength to challenge the top five?

Is this true?

Even though Lin Chen overwhelmed Yu Nanchun, Yu Nanchun was only ranked twenty-first, still quite a gap from the top five.

But Senior Brother Xiang had no reason to boost others’ morale at the expense of lowering his own prestige.

The most crucial point was, Senior Brother Xiang’s rank on Martial Arts Mountain happened to be fifth.

So was it because Senior Brother Xiang sensed a crisis, that he chose this moment to go into seclusion in order to enhance his strength?
