Primordial Emperor

When the person in charge of table six had someone inform Shi An about the situation at table six, the person who was sent to keep an eye on Lin Chen came back to report that Lin Yun had vanished after earning a tidy sum.

Thinking of this, the person in charge of ring six gnashed his teeth in anger, secretly thinking that that guy had the sense to quit while ahead, leaving no opportunity for him to win back the money Lin Chen had taken.

However, what the person in charge of ring six didn't know was that Lin Chen hadn't disappeared, nor had he stopped going to the gambling arena; instead, he found a secluded spot, changed his appearance, and entered the casino under a new identity.

This time, Lin Chen chose ring ten.

Lin Chen's method was the same as before: betting on his own victory, then using the same old trick, he engaged in a fierce battle with the defender, ultimately defeating them.

Each time, the spirit crystals Lin Chen bet amounted to ten thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

In this way, after each match at the gambling table, Lin Chen would disappear, change locations, alter his appearance, and with a new identity, continue appearing in the arena, repeating this process.

With such operations, Lin Chen quickly earned another five million low-grade spirit crystals.

As Lin Chen moved, the news was quickly reported to those in charge of the rings.

This made Shi An furious; how could he not be angry when someone had made off with five million low-grade spirit crystals from their Heaven Hall in just a few hours?

Fortunately, not all of the five million low-grade spirit crystals lost came from the Heaven Hall; quite a few belonged to other martial artists.

Today, after earning five million low-grade spirit crystals so quickly, Lin Chen secretly felt it was about enough.

And each time he went to a ring, he used a new identity, so he was not at all afraid of Shi An guessing it was him.

Discovering Lin Chen's actions left Shi An terribly annoyed; a thorough investigation yielded no information about Lin Chen.

When calculating today's income, Shi An was even more furious because the total low-grade spirit crystals earned from the ten rings today amounted to only four hundred eighty.

Which means, deducting the five million low-grade spirit crystals Lin Chen took, not only did they not earn money today, but they lost nearly twenty thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

This left Shi An extremely angry, as this time the banker had been poached from the Yellow Hall, yet they ended up losing money—a tremendous joke indeed.

Shi An clenched his fist tightly, thinking to himself that he must find out who is setting themselves against the Heaven Hall to earn spirit crystals, and once identified, there will be no mercy.

...

Lin Chen returned to the Yellow Hall just as Zi Ling and the others were arriving as well.

Because of yesterday's incident, Lin Chen dared not be late and immediately followed the group towards the Martial Arts Practice Ground.

Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen, somewhat surprised.

Having thought Lin Chen would be bedridden for a few days after her attack yesterday, she did not expect him to be full of vigor today.

"Seems like I went too easy on him,"

Zi Ling thought silently as she watched Lin Chen bounce around, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Lin Chen's scalp tingled under Zi Ling's cold gaze, knowing that he couldn't escape a beating today.

Sure enough, Lin Chen was the first to go up against Zi Ling in a match.

And Lin Chen couldn't escape the fate of being beaten, thrown down from the ring by Zi Ling like a dead dog.

After this, Yang Minghui and Yu Weilian carried Lin Chen's body back to his residence after their battle concluded.

Knowing of Lin Chen's strong physique, Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui just tossed Lin Chen's body into his room and turned to leave.

Especially since Lin Chen had completely recovered from such significant injuries overnight.

Therefore, the two women began to slowly adapt to the fact that Lin Chen, even if beaten half to death, could recover overnight.

Lin Chen rested on the bed for a long time, and the recovery power of the Ancient Divine Body allowed him to regain the ability to move.

Buzz—

After recovering, Lin Chen released his spiritual power and discovered that his cultivation had progressed.

Not only had his cultivation improved, but his physical body had also become even stronger.

Inevitably, Zi Ling's beatings were very effective; over these few days, Lin Chen's physique indeed became much more robust.

Lin Chen examined his body, noticing the increased spiritual power and his strengthened state, then he didn't pay further attention.

Subsequently, Lin Chen took out the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron once again and entered it.

Arriving in the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen brought out several spirit crystals—about three to four million—for the cauldron to absorb.

Sure enough, after absorbing three hundred and twenty low-grade spirit crystals, Lin Chen noticed the ninth star map in the Second Layer Space finally brightening again.

The remaining over one million low-grade spirit crystals were allowed to continue absorbing, and the tenth star map was lit up about one-tenth.

Looking at the brightness level of the tenth star map before him, Lin Chen was shocked; roughly estimating it would take fifteen million low-grade spirit crystals to light up the tenth star map—an astronomical figure indeed.

Once he brightened the ninth star map, Lin Chen's time in the strange world shortened by one day and became twelve days.

Moreover, Lin Chen found that, once brightened, the ninth star map's glow could not only speed up Soul Power cultivation but also provide bonuses for spiritual power cultivation.

Lin Chen practiced for a while and noticed his cultivation advancing; the effect was even better than using low-grade spirit crystals directly for cultivation, leaving him astounded.

Lin Chen walked out of the room, taking Master Qingxu and the Little Profound Turtle into the First Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

"Lin Chen, you weren't in this space just now; where did you go?"

After entering the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the Little Profound Turtle asked perplexedly.

"I went to the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, not here."

Lin Chen didn't conceal anything from the Little Profound Turtle, which held his divine soul brand, and explained immediately.

"Lin Chen, can I also go to that space for a visit?"

Upon hearing this, the Little Profound Turtle was greatly surprised, filled with longing.
