Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

As the violent thunder force entered his body, it did not recklessly destroy the inside but instead, as if it had intelligence, transformed into countless fine silver needles, precisely guiding the trajectory of his Immortal Technique.

After one circulation, it was surprisingly slightly faster than before.

Boom!

Before Lin Chen could savor the experience, the second bolt of thunder struck again, and even with the previous experience, Lin Chen couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

This kind of pain cannot be endured simply with preparedness.

One bolt, two bolts, three bolts...

These thunderbolts entered Lin Chen’s body, serving as the most domineering yet precise ”guides,” directing his Immortal Technique to operate in a more perfect way through his meridians, shortening the time it took for each circulation of the Immortal Technique.

With Morning Divine Soul Internal Observation, he could clearly ”see” the Divine Soul Stars at his dantian, simulating the trajectory of the Immortal Technique. At this moment, under the lash of the thunder, this trajectory was trembling violently, reorganizing.

The thunder, like the most rigorous mentor, guided and corrected his Immortal Technique with an almost forceful posture, forcefully hammering, compressing, and purifying the operating path of the Immortal Technique, elevating it toward a more original and reasonable perfect direction.

The process was painful, but being able to see his own growth, for Lin Chen, made the pain negligible.

...

...

Outside the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda.

”Two and a half two-hours have passed, Lin Chen has already overtaken Lv Zejia.”

”No wonder he’s claimed to be the strongest to ascend the Martial Arts Mountain in the past ten years. I didn’t pay much attention to the Martial Arts Mountain at the time and thought the rumors were a bit exaggerated; now it seems they’re quite fitting.”

A martial artist exclaimed on the square, while Martial Arts Mountain attracted many Flame Dynasty martial artists’ attention, it was mainly those who had not yet Entered the Grade or had just entered the Innate level, as well as the high-level members of various forces.

Those like them who had stepped into the Innate Third Realm or Fourth Realm wouldn’t particularly focus on the situation of the Martial Arts Mountain, as often a single retreat could result in several changes of those at the top of the Martial Arts Mountain.

Among the Third Realm Martial Artists present, half hadn’t seen Lin Chen and Sima Kong’s two battles. They weren’t entirely convinced by the rumors that Lin Chen was the most potent and potential-filled among those who recently ascended the Martial Arts Mountain in the past ten years.

But now, they’ve all acknowledged it.

They even feel that the outside world’s acknowledgment of Lin Chen underestimates him. Not only in ten years, but based on his performance in the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, among the geniuses who reached the summit of the Martial Arts Mountain in the past thirty years, he can undoubtedly be considered the first.

The warriors of the Eight Desolates Sect looked incredibly annoyed.

The more impressive Lin Chen’s performance was, the more uncomfortable they felt.

In contrast, the warriors from Canglan Sect seemed to be celebrating the New Year, each one smiling with joy. Even though Junior Brother Lin’s astonishing performance was only in the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, spreading Junior Brother Lin’s performance would boost their Canglan Sect’s morale and simultaneously hit the morale of the Eight Desolates Sect warriors.

In the area of the black-robed anonymous warriors, at this moment, many faces beneath the shadows of the black robes also bore complex expressions.

They had all been the first among Martial Arts Mountain in various years, but to have achieved a breakthrough to the Peak of Innate Third Realm within two years after reaching the summit and stormed through over ten levels within the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda; upon careful consideration, they had to admit they couldn’t do it.

Who among those who reached the summit of Martial Arts Mountain wasn’t exceptionally talented? Having them admit they’re inferior to others is extremely difficult.

Yin Yue, feeling the surrounding martial artists’ emotions, instead had a pill-colored gaze in her eyes; she could guess why Lin Chen suddenly stormed the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, it must be because he had hopes for the Alchemy Competition tomorrow.

The better his performance in the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, if he truly gained something beneficial, winning first in the Alchemy Competition might not be a good thing.

Unless... Lin Chen wins first place and can safely leave Thousand Mechanism City.

...

...

Two two-hours, three two-hours...

When the fourth two-hour arrived, the warriors outside the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda were already a bit anxious.

For them, a few two-hours originally didn’t count for much. Sometimes a retreat could last months, but at this moment, even a quarter-hour felt particularly prolonged in their hearts.

They were anxious about how many levels Lin Chen had stormed?

...

”Couldn’t have exceeded thirty levels, right.”

”Thirty levels, impossible!”

On the square, a middle-aged man shook his head confidently, and when seeing others looking at him, he didn’t hide and directly said, ”Junior Brother Lv mentioned before, the first ten levels of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda test whether a martial artist’s Physical Strength has reached its Limit, from the eleventh to the twentieth level tests whether the Divine Soul has cultivated to the limit of that Realm, and the subsequent thirty levels are only harder.”

The middle-aged man was from the same sect as Lv Zejia, and upon hearing this, the eyes of many warriors on the scene gleamed.

The secrets of the first twenty levels of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda had finally been revealed.

”Lin Chen showcased tremendous Physical Strength on Martial Arts Mountain back then; his Physical Strength should have been honed to the extreme, but it’s not an easy task for the Divine Soul to reach the limit of the Innate Third Realm.”

Physical strength is hard to train; the Divine Soul is even harder to cultivate.

This is common knowledge recognized by all martial artists in the Martial Arts Realm of the Flame Dynasty.

”According to Junior Brother Lv’s words, the first twenty levels of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda actually don’t pose much of a challenge. The Heaven-Reaching Pagoda assigns a reasonable number of levels to the entrant based on their Physical Strength and Divine Soul. Back then, Junior Brother Lv had reached the limit with his Physical Strength and directly reached the tenth level, but he couldn’t achieve the rating with his Divine Soul.”
