Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Canglan energy surged like tides.

Lin Chen stood there, seemingly transformed into a bottomless dark pool. The ”Heart of Canglan” at his heart throbbed with unprecedented intensity, as if the entire space pulsated with it.

”What is this?”

Canglan Sect!

Du Xiaofeng and Zhao Yulin exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with sharp light.

If they weren’t mistaken, Lin Chen was likely using that specific martial arts technique.

However, Zhao Yulin’s eyes held doubt. When did Lin Chen learn this cultivation technique? According to the sect’s rules, only martial artists of the Innate Second Realm could begin learning it.

One of the three great martial arts of Canglan Sect: Canglan’s Eyes.

The sect required disciples to reach the Innate Second Realm to train in it, not because they lacked opportunity, but because the cultivation of Canglan’s Eyes had extremely high demands. Without reaching the Crystal Condensation Realm of the Innate Second Realm, the internal innate power was insufficient to support the cultivation of this technique.

Even those who just entered the Innate Second Realm have difficulty succeeding in cultivation; only by entering the Middle Period of the Innate Second Realm is there a chance.

So how did Lin Chen, who just entered the Innate Realm, accomplish this?

Du Xiaofeng saw the doubt in Zhao Yulin’s eyes, knowing what Zhao Yulin wondered about—how Lin Chen, with insufficient realm, was able to cultivate Canglan’s Eyes.

Heart of Canglan!

Du Xiaofeng thought of Lin Chen successfully forming the Heart of Canglan. To successfully cultivate Canglan’s Eyes while only in the Innate Realm, it had to be due to Canglan’s Eyes.

The Heart of Canglan elevated the level of Canglan energy within Lin Chen compared to ordinary disciples, allowing for the transformation of a purer innate power.

Perhaps other factors were involved, but they’d have to wait for Lin Chen to come down from Martial Arts Mountain to inquire.

...

On Martial Arts Mountain.

At this moment, Sima Kong had lost his earlier arrogance, frantically mobilizing the innate power within him. The ferocious tiger shadow behind him gradually solidified, letting out an earth-shattering tiger roar, as if the energy of the entire world was converging towards it.

Boom!

Sima Kong threw a punch. The roaring tiger charged forth, with a dominance that crushed the void.

Even though no sound could be heard, many martial artists watching, especially those below the Innate, turned pale looking at the charging tiger.

Could Lin Chen really withstand this blow?

Zeng Xi, Zhang Xu...

On Martial Arts Mountain, the innate martial artists challenged by Lin Chen earlier were all staring intently at Lin Chen, wanting to know how Lin Chen would respond to Sima Kong’s punch because they knew they couldn’t block it themselves.

Lin Chen, with eyes tightly shut, seemed disconnected from everything around him.

At this moment, he recalled not long ago the final deduction he saw on Martial Derivation Mirror on Martial Arts Mountain, the ultimate light condensed from the Canglan Tide.

As the tiger closed in to within three meters, Lin Chen finally opened his eyes. In the depths of those eyes, no longer were there ordinary pupils, but a swirling, unfathomable azure vortex.

”Canglan’s Eyes!”

A cold murmur slipped from Lin Chen’s lips. In that instant, his gaze locked onto Sima Kong.

Whoosh—!!!

Two beams of extreme ice-blue light shot out from the swirling vortex of Lin Chen’s eyes, as if traversing ancient void! These beams were only as thick as a thumb, seemingly insignificant.

Yet, these seemingly insignificant beams moved at an astonishing speed, causing the space to emit a cracking sound as if it couldn’t bear the burden.

The light instantly pierced through the tiger, shattering its shadow before it could even wail, dissipating instantly!

The smile on Sima Kong’s face was replaced by astonishment. The moment those ice-blue beams appeared, he felt a danger he had never sensed since entering the Innate Realm.

Stch!

No earth-shattering explosion occurred, only a subtle, ice-crystal-like sound of piercing through glass.

The two extreme ice-blue beams pierced through the defense of Sima Kong’s Heaven-Dominating Armor without obstruction!

Like hot needles through thin ice, they effortlessly tore through the energy armor that could withstand peak Gang Transformation Realm attacks, accurately embedding into Sima Kong’s body!

Sima Kong’s body shuddered violently, as if struck by a thunderbolt!

The face full of confidence and arrogance turned ghostly white instantaneously, all the surging power abruptly vanishing like a deflated balloon.

The twenty innate crystals around him dimmed and extinguished instantly, his whole being frozen with soul and innate power sealed, standing rigidly still, eyes left with disbelief and frozen pain.

After shooting this light, Lin Chen also turned pale, as if all his strength had been drained, the Canglan energy within him gone, leaving his divine soul with waves of weakness.

Using Canglan’s Eyes at his current realm was still too strenuous.

He staggered a few steps upon landing before steadying his stance with sharp eyes restored to their normal color.

Did Lin Chen lose?

Seeing this, many murmured to themselves, especially those martial artists in realms lower than Innate.

After all, it seemed to them that Sima Kong was still floating in the air.

”Alas, Lin Chen still couldn’t create a miracle.”

”A pity, he was just one step away from passing the final stage.”

Wangchuan Platform, at the alley entrance.

Su Qin consoled, ”Miss, Young Master Lin achieving second place is already very impressive. Even though he lost, it was a glorious defeat.”
