Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

[Racing Against Time: Absorbing four flawless Martial Path Wills at this moment increases the success rate of condensing the Martial Soul.]

Seeing the reminder of ”Racing Against Time,” Lin Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed. When he absorbed the first flawless Martial Path Will, ”Racing Against Time” had already mentioned the Martial Soul, and now it was mentioned once more.

But this time, the emphasis was not on the Martial Soul itself, but on the success rate of condensing it.

”Is this a hint from ’Racing Against Time’ based on the environment I am currently in?”

Thinking that ”Racing Against Time” could actively perceive the environment he was in, this prompt appeared after the Blood Moon rose.

Hence, the appearance of this Blood Moon increased the chance of him condensing the Martial Soul by absorbing four flawless Martial Path Wills.

Although he didn’t know what the Martial Soul represented, right now, breaking through this situation with his current strength was impossible, but condensing a Martial Soul would definitely increase his power.

”Brother Zeng, Qiao Yuan, and Senior Brothers, you hold them off first.”

Lin Chen instructed Zeng Xi, Qiao Yuan, and his sect’s senior brothers, and the next moment, his body turned into a stream of light, heading towards the Canglan Sea, choosing to bypass the constantly emerging Canglan Beasts directly.

With his speed and full exertion, it wasn’t difficult to avoid these Canglan Beasts.

As for the martial artists from other sects, Lin Chen didn’t bother to call out to them. Now that the Blood Moon had ascended, the Canglan Beasts no longer targeted only the disciples of the Canglan Sect; everyone was in the same boat, and to survive, they had to fend off these Canglan Beasts together.

”What is going on, did Lin Chen run away?”

Seeing Lin Chen heading towards the Canglan Sea and finally entering a colorful bubble, Mu Jun and the others were dumbfounded.

”I get it now, Lin Chen is hiding in the bubble on purpose, so he doesn’t have to suffer the Canglan Beasts’ attacks. This guy is so detestable, leaving us here to attract the Canglan Beasts’ firepower.”

”Brother Mu, I don’t think Brother Lin is that kind of person. There must be a reason for him doing this.”

Zeng Xi shook his head. He didn’t believe Lin Chen was hiding in the bubble to dodge the attacks for three two-hour periods. As a disciple of the Thousand Mechanism Sect, he had cultivated a technique called ”Soul Observation Technique,”

which, after cultivating, allowed him to judge whether a person was worth associating with when in contact with them.

If the person was deceitful or untrustworthy, his Divine Soul would feel a sense of repulsion. But the first time he saw Lin Chen at the Canglan Sect, he had a comfortable feeling.

Ordinary martial artists called it ”appealing at first sight,” but he knew it was because Lin Chen wasn’t deceitful; it was feedback from his Divine Soul given by the ”Soul Observation Technique.”

He was willing to befriend Lin Chen, not just because Elder Bai had instructed him to, or because he was impressed by Lin Chen’s talent, but also because of this reason.

In a lifetime, having three close friends is enough.

These three close friends are those with whom you can share your heart and feel at ease.

For geniuses of their sects, it was particularly difficult to find true friends.

There were too many who, when interacting with him, seemed courteous and even extremely warm, but under the ”Soul Observation Technique,” he felt a deep repulsion towards these people at their core.

This indicated that these people were not genuinely worth associating with.

It was because he acknowledged Lin Chen that he helped the Canglan Sect disciples against the Canglan Beasts.

”What reason could there be? He’s already realized one flawless Martial Path Will. Does he think he can realize a second one?”

Faced with Mu Jun’s question, Zeng Xi also remained silent. He didn’t know what Lin Chen intended and couldn’t answer.

”If Senior Brother Lin wanted to run, why would the situation reach this point?”

Qiao Yuan spoke coldly, glancing at Mu Jun. ”With Senior Brother Lin’s strength, he could completely hide behind all of us, wait until everyone is dead, and if the three two-hour periods hadn’t passed, he could still hide in the bubble. Who among you can match Senior Brother Lin in speed?”

Qiao Yuan’s question also left Mu Jun and the others silent because Qiao Yuan’s words indeed made sense.

The strength Lin Chen had shown was unmatched among all of them.

”Don’t overthink it. Since we are all in the same boat now, we should work together. As for Lin Chen... perhaps he discovered a clue to a breakthrough or has another way. We just need to wait quietly.”

Ji Shixuan of the Profound Yellow Sect interrupted Mu Jun. He also had doubts, but what Qiao Yuan said was also a fact. If Lin Chen truly had such intentions, they were powerless to stop him.

They were separated from the bubble floating on the sea by dozens of Canglan Beasts, and besides Lin Chen, no one else could cross the Canglan Beasts and hide within the bubble.

Moreover, each bubble had a time limit. After defeating the Canglan Beast, one could either obtain a Martial Path Will or give it up. It wasn’t possible to stay in the bubble indefinitely, at most delaying for a few hundred breaths.

”Since Lin Chen asked us to hold them off, we can only choose to trust him. I urge everyone not to hide their strength because hiding it will only result in being individually defeated by the Canglan Beasts.”

Zeng Xi advised everyone. The Canglan Sect disciples had no reservations, having been targeted by the Canglan Beasts from the start and joining hands in battle.

But it was different for the others. Mu Jun and the others had not given their all. Even if they had the ability to defeat the Canglan Beast in front of them, they chose to conserve their strength rather than relieve the Canglan Sect disciples.

He understood people’s selfishness.

However, given the current situation, if the Canglan Sect disciples were killed by the Canglan Beasts, the end result would be that after the Canglan Sect disciples’ deaths, it would be their turn next.
