One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

Page 43

This man named Chen Ping'an is the eldest disciple of the Xuanwu Sect.

He was a young man with striking eyebrows and bright eyes.

He cupped his hands in greeting to the white-bearded old man, Chen Tianxi, and said:

"This disciple is ready and will certainly fight for a spot for our Xuanwu Sect!"

"Ok!"

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard:

"With your strength, I'm naturally at ease, but your other junior brothers might be..."

He sighed softly, expressing his helplessness.

Chen Ping'an pursed his lips and remained silent, his eyes filled with deep helplessness.

The Xuanwu Sect is the weakest of the four major sects.

Although the number of disciples sent by the four major sects is the same each year, their strengths differ.

Every year, the Xuanwu Sect gets the fewest spots.

I only managed to snag one spot last year.

The divine light within the forbidden area is of great benefit to the disciples' cultivation of their own Qi.

With the other three sects taking all the spots, the Xuanwu Sect will have fewer and fewer outstanding disciples.

Their strength will gradually decrease.

The sect leader was deeply worried about this.

Unfortunately, his fellow disciples were not up to par, and there was nothing he could do.

at this time.

A disciple in blue robes rushed in to report.

"Sect Master, three people have arrived at the gate. They say they can help us secure more spots to enter the forbidden area."

Chen Tianxi remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

"Who were these three people?"

The disciple in blue thought it over carefully, and the one who impressed him the most was Lin Chen.

"One of them was about 20 years old, handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor and an extremely strong aura emanating from him. He was clearly a master."

"The other one's strength is unfathomable!"

"And he looks a bit sleazy," the disciple in blue thought to himself.

"And there was another one, a woman, who looked quite..."

The disciple in green carefully recalled Feng Baobao's appearance:

"Pure!"

Chen Tianxi ignored Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, and went straight to Lin Chen:

"In his early twenties, his Qi was extremely abundant?"

"Yes, I have never felt such powerful Qi in any other person my age!"

Chen Ping'an looked surprised: "Can't I either?"

The disciple in blue gave an awkward smile:

"Perhaps the eldest brother is more reserved, so he didn't release his own Qi!"

To put it bluntly, it means that your Qi is completely inferior to others, Senior Brother.

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Chen Tianxi's eyes.

Chen Ping'an is the most outstanding disciple of their Xuanwu Sect, without exception.

The aura emanating from that person was even stronger than that of Ping An. Just how strong was this person?

Think for a moment.

Chen Tianxi said to the disciple in blue,

"Bring them to me!"

If what the disciple in green said is true, then he might actually be able to secure a few more spots for their Xuanwu Sect.

At the entrance of the Xuanwu Sect.

Zhang Chulan looked at Lin Chen with admiration:

"Brother, your aura just now was really intimidating! You're definitely a master."

Lin Chen glanced at Zhang Chulan.

"If you can't speak, you don't have to speak!"

What does it mean to bluff?

He lets his abilities speak for themselves, okay?

Zhang Chulan quickly covered his mouth, indicating that he would definitely not say anything more.

After waiting a while, Feng Baobao asked:

Do you think the sect leader of the Xuanwu Sect will meet with us?

Lin Chen nodded firmly:

"If he wants to change the status quo, he will definitely see us!"

Soon.

The disciple in blue robes hurried back, a fawning smile on his face, looking at Lin Chen:

"Our sect leader invites you!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

He walked away with his head held high and chest out.

The disciple in blue robes looked at Lin Chen's imposing figure with a hint of envy.

"This person is clearly a master. When will I be able to cultivate to his level?"

The main hall of Xuanwu Sect.

Lin Chen led Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan inside.

Chen Tianxi's gaze immediately fell on Lin Chen.

This person.

He was handsome, had an extraordinary air about him, and exuded a strong aura.

He truly possesses the aura of an unparalleled genius.

It has to be said that sometimes a person's appearance and temperament can be a plus.

For example, Zhang Chulan was completely unnoticed by Chen Tianxi at this moment.

He's neither good-looking nor has any class; he exudes a sleazy aura. Who would notice him?

Chapter 43 Testing

Chen Tianxi looked Lin Chen over with a satisfied expression.

Perhaps he really can change the current situation of the Xuanwu Sect and win a few more spots for it.

"May I ask your name, young friend?"

Before Lin Chen could reply, Zhang Chulan spoke first.

"My name is Zhang Chulan." Sensing the awkward atmosphere, he forced a smile and said again:

"This is my older brother, Lin Chen, and this is Feng Baobao."

Chen Tianxi narrowed his eyes, his impression of Zhang Chulan worsening.

Did I ask you a question and then you answered?

He turned to look at Lin Chen, his gaze softening slightly:

"Young friend Lin, please tell me the purpose of your visit to my Xuanwu Sect!"

Seeing that the Xuanwu Sect Master was being so direct, Lin Chen also cut to the chase:

"I want to join the Xuanwu Sect and participate in the competition for the spots to enter the forbidden area in three days!"

Seeing that Lin Chen was straightforward, Chen Tianxi's impression of him improved even more.

What makes you think I would agree to that?

"Because I can help the Xuanwu Sect!"

"You're quite confident. How do you plan to help us?"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then spoke softly:

"I also know a bit about your competition method. It's nothing more than passing through the formation and being the first to enter the forbidden area. That's how you successfully grab a spot."

"In addition to breaking through the formation, the disciples participating in the competition must also guard against sneak attacks from the other three sects."

"Generally speaking, the disciples who can participate in the competition are the best of the sects."

"Passing through the formation is not a problem; the difficulty lies in passing through it quickly and smoothly."

"I can guarantee that I will secure at least five spots for the Xuanwu Sect, keep two for myself, and the remaining three will be yours."

Chen Tianxi's expression changed drastically.

Five spots? You've got some nerve!

Chen Ping'an, standing to the side, also looked at Lin Chen with a face full of surprise.

He had participated in the qualifying competition before, so he knew it all too well.

He struggled to even secure one spot, yet Lin Chen promised to snag five in one go.

I don't know if it's because they're highly skilled and daring, or if they're exaggerating.

"Do you know that in the annual competition for the quota, each of the four sects sends its best disciples, with 12 disciples from each sect, making a total of 48 disciples from the four sects?"

"This competition is also a team battle. Each sect is self-contained, and each disciple of the other three sects is clearly stronger than our Xuanwu Sect."

"Where do you get the confidence to snatch five spots?"

Chen Tianxi questioned him mercilessly, believing that although the kid was strong, he definitely couldn't snag any of the five spots.

Lin Chen wasn't annoyed to see that Chen Tianxi didn't believe him.

Smile.

"We naturally seize it by force."

"you?"

Chen Tianxi clearly grasped the key words from Lin Chen's words.

His gaze fell on Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan.

Consider what he meant by "who are we"?

Is it this seemingly dim-witted girl, or this silly-looking boy?

Neither of them looked like experts.

"Yes! Us!"

Lin Chen pulled Feng Baobao aside.

Feng Baobao opened her big eyes and nodded emphatically, indicating that she was very capable.

Chen Tianxi shook his head.

"This girl won't do!"

"why?"
