Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

On the beach.

Lin Chen’s eyes were tightly closed, his legs crossed as he hovered in mid-air.

In front of him, at this moment, Zeng Xi and others were engaged in a bloody battle with the Canglan Beasts.

The group frequently glanced back at him. Although they didn’t know what Lin Chen was doing, they accepted Zeng Xi’s words.

Choosing to break through at such a dangerous time only had one reason: Lin Chen was confident that if he succeeded, he could resolve the current crisis.

If one were more cynical, it meant that once Lin Chen broke through, he could at least survive the siege of so many Canglan Beasts.

They were being used by Lin Chen.

But regardless of which thought prevailed, they could only trust Lin Chen now; there was no other choice.

”Everyone, stop overthinking. If Brother Lin were really only for himself, with his current strength, I think lasting three two-hours wouldn’t be a problem.”

Zeng Xi, sensing some emotional fluctuations through his Divine Soul Perception, gave a bitter smile; at this critical moment, some still overthought things.

”We’ll give Brother Lin enough time. I believe Brother Lin won’t let us down.”

Upon hearing Zeng Xi’s words, the Martial Artists from the Outer Sect, who had other thoughts, felt a twinge of embarrassment at being seen through.

”Zeng Xi is right; now we can only place our hopes on Lin Chen, and no matter what, we must give him enough time to succeed in his breakthrough.”

Mu Jun also chimed in agreement. A moment ago, he truly thought Lin Chen left them here to attract the Canglan Beasts’ attention, but when Lin Chen emerged covered in blood, he realized he was wrong.

”If Lin Chen wanted to delay, there was no need to come out of that bubble so quickly.”

Upon hearing Mu Jun’s words, the Martial Artists of the Outer Sect quickly understood his meaning; to be a genius, none among them was foolish.

Lin Chen’s swift emergence from the bubble, covered in blood, clearly indicated he used a self-damaging method to quickly defeat the Canglan Beast inside.

These actions showed that Lin Chen wasn’t using them to draw fire, and Zeng Xi wasn’t wrong in saying that Lin Chen might indeed last three two-hours with his strength.

They also saw Lin Chen several times use that flame to burn the Canglan Beasts; with Lin Chen’s speed and power, he could just tangle with the Canglan Beasts in the sea without needing to fight so desperately.

Risking a breakthrough held only one reason: Lin Chen wanted to save them.

To be precise, he wanted to save the people from the Canglan Sect, perhaps including Zeng Xi, but as for their lives and deaths, Lin Chen likely didn’t care.

So, in this case, they should thank the people from the Canglan Sect.

...

At this moment, Lin Chen wasn’t paying attention to the outside situation. He believed Zeng Xi and Qiao Yuan would buy him enough time.

Lin Chen’s consciousness completely submerged into the sea of his Dantian. This vast space, illuminated by the Divine Soul Stars, was undergoing earth-shaking changes.

This was precisely why he came out of the bubble and immediately rushed behind the group to break through.

He wasn’t nobly motivated; even saving Qiao Yuan, he did so while ensuring his own safety by choosing a more secure method for breaking through.

But what he didn’t expect was that when the Stars in the Star Map formed a twin-hammer shape, the Divine Soul Star Map in his Dantian began to change, without any need for him to drive it.

At this moment, within the stars, the four refined-level Martial Path Wills he’d absorbed before—spear, halberd, blade, and hammer—had transformed into four star weapon phantoms, no longer just independently floating.

They seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, starting to move towards each other, and in the process of moving, collided with other stars, causing them to fall.

The stars that fell didn’t disappear; they landed at the bottom, and as more stars were knocked down, they accumulated and formed a dense star belt.

[Racing Against Time: Activate Azure Wave Technique.]

As Lin Chen’s attention was entirely on the Divine Soul Star Map, the panel appeared once again, this time directly in his mind.

”Azure Wave Technique?”

Lin Chen, without any hesitation, activated the Azure Wave Technique, causing the Canglan energy from the Heart of Canglan to surge towards the star map in his Dantian.

As the Canglan energy entered, the star map vibrated, seemingly rejecting the entry of Canglan energy, causing shock in Lin Chen’s heart.

These stars represented his Divine Soul; the purer the Divine Soul, the better. Mixing it with other energy, no matter how strong, would make it impure.

If he didn’t know that the panel wouldn’t harm him, and if he didn’t trust that ”Racing Against Time” was correct, he would’ve stopped activating the Azure Wave Technique.

Ultimately, Lin Chen decided to continue using the Azure Wave Technique.

As the Azure Wave Technique continued, the Canglan energy from the Heart of Canglan surged in overwhelming tides, fiercely colliding with the star map.

Puff!

Lin Chen’s face instantly turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Zeng Xi, who had just defeated a Canglan Beast and earned a moment to breathe, frowned slightly. His Divine Sense was constantly perceiving the situation behind him; though the blood at Lin Chen’s lips quickly disappeared, he distinctly sensed it.

This indicated that Lin Chen’s breakthrough wasn’t looking optimistic, yet their battle with the Canglan Beasts in front of them was equally grim.

This group of besieging Canglan Beasts was mostly ordinary level, a few were at the Refined Level, and occasionally, a single flawless level Canglan Beast would appear.
