NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1158 New Star
In the sky, a figure seemed to step on the void, leaping down from above.
"You two little things, are you planning to tear down my Medicine Sect?" Yu Yuntian landed gracefully, smiling faintly.
With a flick of his finger in the void, a mist enveloped the attacks from both sides instantly.
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, the previously raging energy was entirely absorbed by the water sphere, and the expected explosive energy burst never happened.
As the mist whirled, a gentle rain of light began to fall from the sky.
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed. He hadn't expected the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect to possess such formidable power.
He had dissolved an attack potent enough to level the entire arena with such ease.
This scene occurred almost in the blink of an eye, and by the time everyone recovered from their shock, the sky had already returned to tranquility.
Yu Yuntian, clad in a white robe, exuded an air of authority beneath his handsome appearance.
Although Lin Chen had seen Yu Yuntian a few times before, the latter had always concealed his aura. This time, Lin Chen finally understood just how powerful the Sect Master truly was.
In his presence, Lin Chen felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, suggesting that Yu Yuntian was approaching a god-like existence.
Lin Chen had once heard from Xiao Shuai that above the True God Realm was the Path to Divinity, and those who could tread this path possessed the strength of a Demigod.
Yu Yuntian's effortless dispelling of Lin Chen and Yao Hui's moves just now was enough to prove that he was already a Demigod.
No wonder Yu Yuntian was ready to relinquish the position of Sect Master; it seemed he was preparing for ascension.
Not far away, Yao Hui's face was pale. That attack had almost exhausted all the Qi within him.
Originally, he thought he would kill Lin Chen, but Yu Yuntian unexpectedly intervened.
Despite his unpleasant demeanor, Yao Hui still respectfully approached Yu Yuntian, saying, "Sect Master."
At this moment, all the disciples and Hall Masters also paid their respects.
"Who could have imagined that the duel between these two would force the reclusive Sect Master to intervene!"
Many disciples saw Yu Yuntian take action for the first time, never expecting his strength to be so overwhelming.
Yu Yuntian's gaze turned cold as he looked at the three Hall Masters: "How could you allow juniors to behave so recklessly? If today's sparring had inadvertently harmed innocent disciples, how could we justify ourselves? Who would join our Medicine Sect in the future?"
As Yu Yuntian stated, had he not intervened, the collision of their attacks would have undoubtedly resulted in innocent disciples' tragic deaths, a consequence indeed grave.
The three Hall Masters glanced at each other with a sense of grievance; they had never expected these two juniors to be so desperate, nor that their strength was so surpassing that even they might not gain the upper hand against these two disciples.
Yu Yuntian withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Chen.
"I didn't expect my Medicine Sect to welcome another prodigy, not bad at all."
Lin Chen hurriedly restrained his aura and bowed slightly, saluting, "Lin Chen greets the Hall Master."
Yu Yuntian scanned Lin Chen from head to toe and nodded, "Our Medicine Sect is truly brimming with talent. I never imagined you would manage to match Yao Hui through your cultivation alone, truly remarkable."
In truth, Yu Yuntian wasn't naive; if Lin Chen possessed no special means, transforming from a normal individual to such a powerful expert would be wishful thinking, but he was well aware that Lin Chen would not reveal such secrets.
"Sect Master, this Lin Chen inexplicably caused a ruckus at my Heavenly Hall's gate and severely injured four of my disciples. He must be severely punished, or else the disciples of the Heavenly Hall might harbor dissatisfaction," Yao Hui respectfully said.
"It was a duel between two Halls, and it was sanctioned by several Hall Masters. Injuries are inevitable; blame lies solely on their lesser skills." Yu Yuntian said indifferently.
His fondness for Lin Chen was evident.
One could say that Lin Chen single-handedly rid the Medicine Sect of the traitor Wu Ming, and once again outshone others, earning Yu Yuntian's appreciation.
Hearing Yu Yuntian's partiality toward Lin Chen, although Yao Hui was displeased, he had no recourse.
Yu Yuntian said indifferently, "Very well, consider this match a draw. The first four rounds were won by the Human Hall; I declare the Human Hall the winner of this match."
As soon as Yu Yuntian finished speaking, the disciples of the Human Hall erupted in cheers.
For years, the Human Hall had been oppressed by the Heavenly Hall, but this time they finally held their heads high.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Heavenly Hall turned pale, their original arrogance vanishing instantly.
After this battle, everyone knew Lin Chen would become another shining star in the Medicine Sect.
With the contest between the Human Hall and Heavenly Hall over, the Medicine Sect returned to its usual tranquility.
Lin Chen's feat of challenging an entire Hall alone also became a much-discussed topic.
Human Hall disciples no longer had to pay an entrance fee to enter the Medicine Mountain, and all the disciples were deeply grateful to Lin Chen for this change.
The arrogance of the Heavenly Hall disciples also diminished significantly; they no longer dared to bully Human Hall disciples as they once did.
The great duel with Yao Hui had skyrocketed Lin Chen's popularity, and even some more senior Human Hall disciples greeted Lin Chen with respect, calling him Senior Brother.
Having established himself in the Medicine Sect, Lin Chen could finally focus on cultivating.
Seeing Yu Yuntian's demigod power made Lin Chen envious, so he devoted himself to training.
He had promised Mu Yunxue to stand before her as a powerful figure. Three years seemed long, but it could pass in the blink of an eye.
The Burning Heart True Flame, through his constant refinement, could now be communicated with effortlessly, becoming another of Lin Chen's secret weapons.
Lin Chen could now enter the sixth level of the Time Tower for cultivation. Though his cultivation speed was fast, each time he emerged, it felt like his skin had been peeled off.
He had reached over 500 meters deep into the Time Corridor, which meant his understanding of the Time Law had reached an intermediate level.
Lin Chen had just left the Time Corridor when a knock sounded at his door.
Emerging from the Tianyan space, Lin Chen opened the door to find Zhang Cheng.
"Lin Chen, you're always hiding in your room. You're not watching some exciting film from the Island Nation, are you?" Zhang Cheng joked.
"I don't have the leisurely interest you do. What brings you here?" Lin Chen asked.
"Wang Chen and Xu Kai, the Hall Masters, have returned. They request your presence in the main hall."
"They're back!" Lin Chen nodded and followed Zhang Cheng to the main hall.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Wang Chen quickly stood up, his old face turning red, "Lin Chen, I'm really sorry, I couldn't fulfill the task you entrusted to me."
Lin Chen smiled, "It's not your fault, and it's already in the past."
"You, young one, are so daring, challenging an entire Hall alone. But I admire that courage," Wang Chen laughed heartily.
"Hall Master Wang, what do you need from me?" Lin Chen asked.
Wang Chen said seriously, "This time, you must leave the sect once more to complete a mission!"
