Chapter 1073: Advancement to the True God Realm
Yu Feifei was staring blankly at the surface of the lake when suddenly laughter came from behind her.
"Feifei junior sister, what are you looking at?" Yao Hui said with a greedy look in his eyes as he laughed at Yu Feifei.
"Mind your own business." Yu Fei's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she turned to see who was behind her.
Yao Hui laughed awkwardly, "Some people just overestimate themselves, dying in Ling Lake is what they deserve."
Yu Feifei glanced coldly at Yao Hui, "Lin Chen dared to enter the depths of Ling Lake, showing he has courage, much better than those who rely on connections."
Listening to Yu Feifei's words, Yao Lei's face turned awkward.
After entering the Medicine Sect, Yao Lei had always been supported by the Vice Hall Master of the Heaven Hall, Yao Lei himself, which is how he achieved his current status, so people often said he got in through connections to become a True Disciple of the Human Hall.
Although Yu Feifei's words were not explicit, the implication was obvious.
Yao Hui gritted his teeth, a sinister smile briefly flashing across his face, but soon it was replaced by an awkward smile.
"Feifei junior sister, you've misunderstood me. The pressure inside Ling Lake multiplies geometrically every day, and it's been ten days now. No matter how talented he is, it's impossible for him to withstand such immense pressure; he must have died in there." Yao Hui sneered.
Yu Fei's beautiful eyes were fixed on the lake surface, completely ignoring Yao Hui.
However, Yao Hui was exceptionally thick-skinned. Seeing Yu Feifei ignoring him, he still wouldn't give up, "Feifei, why don't we make a bet? Let's bet on Lin Chen's life or death. If I win, you accompany me to a meal; if I lose, you can punish me however you like."
At this moment, Yu Fei's beautiful eyes suddenly focused, her gaze tightly fixed on the lake surface.
On Ling Lake, enormous waves suddenly surged, and the center of the lake began to boil as if it were boiling water.
"Alright, I'll bet with you. If Lin Chen is alive, then please don't bother me anymore." Yu Fei smiled lightly.
The changes on the lake also caught the attention of other disciples. Everyone held their breath, staring at the boiling lake surface.
"This is impossible!" Yao Hui's face turned ugly instantly.
Could it be that this commotion was caused by Lin Chen?
At this moment, an expression of amazement appeared on everyone's faces. They couldn't imagine that this newcomer, who had just entered the Human Hall, had truly created a miracle. Not only surviving ten days in Ling Lake, but also absorbing the energy from the lake bottom.
In the center of Ling Lake appeared a massive vortex, with violent energy constantly emanating from it.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, and bolts of lightning enveloped the entire lake surface.
This is the Thunder Tribulation. Could it be this boy is about to ascend to the True God Realm?
On Ling Lake, Wang Chen and Xu Kai looked in astonishment at this celestial phenomenon, internally amazed.
This guy is simply a monster; he absorbed all the gold qi within the lake and ascended to the True God Realm in less than ten days.
"This guy went from mid-Void God Realm to True God Realm in just ten days."
Wang Chen's lips showed a bitter smile. It took him a full twenty years to take this step.
"Never thought such a genius would emerge in our Human Hall." Xu Kai also had a look of shock on his face.
Wang Chen took a deep breath, "But that's not enough. The two prodigies of the Heaven Hall and Earth Hall have already ascended to the True God Realm. To defeat them, Lin Chen must comprehend the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon."
"But don't forget, the qualification to comprehend the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon isn't solely based on martial arts. Ultimately, it's the skill in alchemy that counts. Although Lin Chen's martial arts attainment is commendable, surpassing those like Fang Yu in alchemy skills is quite challenging."
"The damn tradition leaves us one month until the Human Hall annual comparison. In this month, you must properly train Lin Chen. Let's hope he displays an equally astonishing talent in alchemy."
Wang Chen was also quite helpless. Although the Medicine Sect had placed great emphasis on martial arts in recent years, alchemy remained the foundation of the sect.
So, the ultimate measure in comprehending the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon still lies in alchemy skills.
And the juniors in the Human Hall who have comprehension qualification have already reached the level of alchemy Grandmasters. For Lin Chen, in such a short time, surpassing several of them seems too difficult.
Every move Lin Chen made after entering the Medicine Sect was very high-profile, and now many people see him as a target to defeat.
At this moment, the waves on Ling Lake surged violently, and the imposing aura was terrifying enough to make many people tremble in fear.
Many people had only heard of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, but few had actually seen it.
Everyone gazed intently at the lake surface, eagerly waiting to witness the rare Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
At a pavilion on the lakeside, a young man chuckled lightly, "Fang Yu, don't be upset. Although you've lost to him in martial arts, in alchemy, he still has a long way to go."
Watching the bolts of lightning descending from the sky, Fang Yu's mouth twitched slightly. He only then realized losing to Lin Chen seemed all too normal now, and he probably couldn't withstand even a single move against Lin Chen.
However, although Lin Chen surpassed him in martial arts, when it comes to alchemy, Fang Yu was still very confident.
"Kid, no matter how strong you are in martial arts, it counts for nothing. In alchemy, you are bound to lose to me." Fang Yu clenched his fist.
Rumble!
Right at this moment, the bolts of lightning in the sky converged into a massive Nine Heavens Mystical Thunder.
What the—this is way too intense!
Wang Chen couldn't help but curse. Although he too had been through the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, the momentum wasn't this powerful.
Could this guy's Primordial Spirit be a top-quality golden Primordial Spirit? To even summon the Nine Heavens Mystical Thunder.
Just then, with a crackling sound, a massive bolt of lightning crashed down like a dragon, descending fiercely towards the bottom of the lake.
As the lightning smashed into the lake bed, the whole Ling Lake boiled like hot water, continually releasing golden qi bubbles from the bottom.
The surface of Ling Lake swirled with tornado-like golden whirlpools. Witnessing this earth-shattering scene, everyone knew that at this moment, Lin Chen beneath Ling Lake was battling the Nine Heavens Mystical Thunder.
"Will he succeed?" Everyone held their breath.
Silence enveloped the area around Ling Lake as everyone watched the surging lake surface in awe.
In their eyes were respect, envy, and mostly, astonishment.
Finally, the lake surface gradually calmed, a smile crept on Yu Feifei's lips as she looked teasingly at Yao Hui, who was dumbfounded beside her.
"Looks like you've lost!"
On a mountain peak of the Earth Hall, An Ningning looked towards Ling Lake, her fists clenched tightly, "Lin Chen, you can do it."
At that moment, the lake surface suddenly stirred again. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, a figure suddenly shot out from the lake, and a shocking aura instantly swept across the entire Ling Lake.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the youth surrounded by golden light. Feeling the daunting pressure emanating from Lin Chen, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
This guy had truly endured the Thunder Tribulation and ascended to the True God Realm!
A True God at the age of just over twenty, with his youthful face, many people couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
