Chapter 83 Challenge

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Challenge"Why hasn’t that kid come out yet?" In the Gathering Spirit Hall, Ma Cheng stared at the door of a Cultivation Room with eyes full of spite. He had been waiting here for ten days, and that door to the Cultivation Room hadn’t opened once. "Ma Cheng, you keep watch here! When that kid comes out, notify me!" Su Ye threw down those words and headed towards a Cultivation Room. He too was a member of the Bai Gang and held an Elder position, only coming over after hearing Ma Cheng’s complaints. A mere new recruit dares to touch the things of the Bai Gang, truly asking for trouble! His cultivation was in the late stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, far beyond what Ma Cheng could compare with. "Brother Ye, please don’t go!" Ma Cheng hastily pleaded. After the confrontation with Ling Chen, he suffered a tremendous psychological trauma and dared not face Ling Chen. Su Ye said impatiently, "You are a member of my Bai Gang, and this is your current state? When that kid comes out, he’ll naturally face me. What are you panicking about?" With that said, Su Ye entered the Cultivation Room. The one he entered was right next to Ling Chen’s. Just after he paid contribution points, the door to the adjacent Cultivation Room opened, and a young man walked out. "Are you Ling Chen?" Su Ye stopped in his tracks and asked immediately. The person looked too young, not at all like someone who could defeat Ma Cheng. "Cultivation..." He sensed for a moment, and to his surprise, found that there was no hint of Spiritual Power on the other person. "Who are you?" Ling Chen looked at the young man with narrow eyes. "Brother Ye, it’s him!" At this moment, Ma Cheng hurriedly said. Ling Chen glanced at Ma Cheng and immediately understood that this person must also be from the Bai Gang! The man’s cultivation was merely in the late stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, obviously not Bai Wentian, the Gang Leader of the Bai Gang. "Senior Brother Ma, it seems the lesson from last time wasn’t enough for you!" Ling Chen smiled slightly. Seeing Ling Chen still looking so calm and composed in front of him, Su Ye flashed a look of surprise in his eyes. But that was just surprise, nothing more! To have struck down a member of their Bai Gang and taken their belongings, if the Bai Gang showed no reaction, how could they hold their heads high at the True Martial Academy? Hearing Ling Chen’s words, Ma Cheng shivered with fright. The lesson from Ling Chen last time left a shadow in his heart. Su Ye stared at Ling Chen and said, "Ling Chen, you seem to have some talent. As long as you join my Bai Gang, compensate some contribution points, and apologize to Ma Cheng by kowtowing, how about we let bygones be bygones?" "Pfft." In the main hall, quite a few new recruits couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Hmm?" Su Ye frowned and looked over coldly. One of the new recruits stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother, this Ling Chen’s talent isn’t just not bad, he has no talent at all!" Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No talent at all?" Now it was Su Ye’s turn to be stunned. Without any talent, how did he defeat Ma Cheng? "He’s right, I have no talent for cultivation." Ling Chen nodded in acknowledgment. "Impossible!" Ma Cheng immediately denied. He had experienced Ling Chen’s strength clearly; although his cultivation was lower than his, Ling Chen’s power was above him. He absolutely could not accept being defeated by someone without any talent! The new recruit continued, "Senior Brother, it’s true. During a recent retest, the talent testing stone showed no reaction." "How is this possible?" Both Su Ye and Ma Cheng were baffled. Especially Ma Cheng. He had clearly been defeated by Ling Chen so miserably, how could Ling Chen suddenly have no talent for cultivation? Ling Chen looked at the two dumbfounded individuals and declared, "First, I have no innate talent for cultivation. Second, I won’t compensate with contribution points. Third, I really can’t bear your kowtowing and apologies as a defeated underling!" "Alright!" Su Ye finally reacted, "It seems you won’t shed tears until you see your coffin!" He must restore the face of the Spirit Hall! Ling Chen glanced at Su Ye and calmly stated, "Such words would have some weight coming from your gang leader. You, however, are truly not qualified!" "What an arrogant brat!" Su Ye’s face chilled over, and the Spiritual Power of the late fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm burst out from him, sweeping across the area with an incredibly formidable aura. "So strong!" The expressions of the onlookers changed significantly. However, Ling Chen simply shook his head in disdain, "Enough, if you want to fight, then fight. Don’t waste your Spiritual Power here." "As you wish!" Su Ye sneered coldly, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Shadow Step!" As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ye moved with the medium-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique, launching an attack towards Ling Chen. From Ma Cheng, he knew that Ling Chen had mastered a superior-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique. Therefore, he directly used his strongest movement technique, prepared to crush Ling Chen. "Trivial trick!" Ling Chen scoffed, as black Spiritual Power surged out of his body, once again leveraging the Dragon Ascending Technique to reappear behind Su Ye. "Brother Ye, watch out!" Seeing Su Ye about to repeat the same mistake, Ma Cheng hurriedly warned. "Trying a sneak attack?" Su Ye reacted extremely quickly. The instant Ling Chen disappeared, he completed a rotation in mid-air and slammed out a punch. "Azure Dragon Fist!" Ling Chen chuckled disdainfully and immediately struck out with his own Azure Dragon Fist. "Superior-grade Attack Profound Spirit Technique?" Su Ye was taken aback. There was such little time; he couldn’t unleash his Spirit Art and had to block with all his might using only his fist. "Crack!" The sound of a bone breaking could be heard. Su Ye’s arm was bent at a ninety-degree angle. "Ah!" A horrifically agonizing scream emanated from Su Ye’s mouth. Were these ten days of cultivation for naught? By now, Ling Chen had successfully advanced to the late fourth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, his Spiritual Power comparable to a mid-sixth level Spirit Sea Realm! How could he be matched by a mere fifth-level Spirit Sea Realm practitioner? Moreover, he only used Spiritual Power comparable to the late fourth level, relying on the superiority of his high-grade Xuanling Technique to defeat Su Ye! Ling Chen contained his power, pummeling his fist into Su Ye’s chest, and forcefully sent him flying dozens of feet. Had he used his full strength, one punch would have been enough to kill Su Ye! Inside the great hall, a deathly silence prevailed. Only the haunting screams of Su Ye could be heard echoing. Ling Chen turned, a hint of a smile curling his lips as he walked towards Ma Cheng. He walked slowly, but with every step, Ma Cheng’s eyes grew wider with dread. Merely ten steps later, Ma Cheng collapsed to the ground, pale with fear, soiling himself. Seeing this, Ling Chen paused briefly, pinched his nose, then continued walking towards Su Ye. Unapologetically, he snatched away the latter’s storage ring, wiped the seal with Spiritual Power, took out Su Ye’s Identity Token and transferred all the contribution points into his own token. "Only two thousand?" Ling Chen curled his lips in disdain. He carelessly tossed the storage ring to the ground. He had robbed Ma Cheng’s Identity Token, which had more than two thousand points. Although Su Ye clearly had a higher cultivation level than Ma Cheng, his contribution points were so few. "Spirit Hall, is it? I, Ling Chen, am always ready to welcome you!" Ling Chen strode off. Not until Ling Chen left did everyone finally come to their senses, their faces filled with excitement. A new student daring to challenge the Spirit Hall, it was truly a blood-boiling affair!
