Chapter 851: Chapter 851
"What an arrogant kid, today I'll teach you a lesson."
Ma Feng let out a cold snort and his body charged towards Lin Chen like lightning, throwing a punch directly at him.
Lin Chen sidestepped to dodge the incoming fist, and in the next instant, he struck with his shoulder.
Ma Feng was forced to retreat four or five steps and ended up plopping down on the ground.
Everyone was shocked to see Lin Chen take down Ma Feng with just one move.
"Let's go at him together!" Ma Tao, seeing his brother at a disadvantage, was naturally not ready to let it go.
The two brothers roared and charged at Lin Chen from left and right.
Training together every day, these brothers had reached a level of unity in spirit and mind. One attacked Lin Chen's upper body while the other aimed for his lower body, coordinating perfectly.
Both of them unleashed their full power, their fists humming through the air, almost tearing the atmosphere apart.
Lin Chen watched the two rushing towards him, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Just as their fists were about to hit Lin Chen, his body suddenly flickered, and he appeared behind the two brothers.
Ma Tao and Ma Feng's faces changed drastically as their attack missed.
It was too late to turn around. They heard two muffled sounds as the Ma brothers were sent flying by Lin Chen's kick.
The two brothers both hit the ground in a humiliating face-first fall.
The onlookers were astounded. The combined strength of these brothers was enough to contend with the top twenty experts of the Youth Ranking, yet they were defeated by Lin Chen in one move – just how strong was this young man?
Lin Chen looked at the two on the ground and said coldly, "If anyone else has objections, feel free to step up."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, no one dared to respond. The Ma brothers were considered outstanding among this crowd, and if even they were defeated in one move by Lin Chen, anyone else would only fare worse.
Seeing no one speak up, Lin Chen then said with a smile, "Sister Wan Er, the problem has been resolved. We can ascend the mountain now."
Wan Er looked at Lin Chen curiously, even she was somewhat amazed by the strength he had just displayed.
No wonder he caught Zixuan's attention; this young man truly has some skills.
Suddenly, a young man approached Lin Chen: "Hello, if I'm not mistaken, you must be Lin Chen."
Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment and looked at the young man before him: "You know me?"
The young man nodded: "Of course, I was there at Kunlun too."
"Oh!" Lin Chen nodded his head.
"My name is Feng Yu, haha, I have a wind attribute special ability," Feng Yu said with a laugh.
As he spoke, Feng Yu looked towards Wang Zixuan: "If I'm not wrong, this lady must be your sister-in-law, right!"
"Sister-in-law!" Upon hearing this title, Wang Zixuan's cheeks flushed red.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, or be careful I might throw you down the steps," Lin Chen said.
"Please don't!" Feng Yu quickly waved his hands, knowing full well the formidable power of the Formation outside the steps. One wrong move and he could disintegrate into ashes.
As Lin Chen walked up the mountain, he marveled at the profound strength of Jade Maiden Peak's heritage.
On this journey, he had already felt the presence of several powerful old monsters.
However, seeing Lin Chen and Wang Zixuan walking together, the martial artists from the big families behind them looked at Lin Chen with complex expressions.
Their eyes were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, all wishing they could kick Lin Chen away and take his place.
Feng Yu chuckled and said, "Brother Chen, you're now the public enemy of all the guys here."
"Is it really that serious?" Lin Chen said, speechless.
"Of course, it's serious. Don't you know that the beauty by your side is the holy maiden of Jade Maiden Peak? There are many talented men who want to win her heart, but you managed to beat them to it. How could these people not be angry?" Feng Yu said.
Lin Chen looked around at the expressions in everyone's eyes; indeed, they were all filled with hostility toward him.
Suddenly, Lin Chen remembered Zhang Yu and wondered if he would come.
At that moment, he also thought of another person, Xu Ye. If Zhang Yu asked about him, how would he explain it!
Originally, the three brothers went to Mount Kunlun together, but now Xu Ye had already passed away, causing Lin Chen to feel a touch of sadness.
The scenery along the way was picturesque, and Lin Chen couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. However, such beautiful scenery also benefited from this forest not being developed into a tourist area, or else it would have probably been ruined by now.
This mountain path was winding and rugged, and it took more than an hour to reach the mountain gate.
But fortunately, all these young people were martial artists, so no one complained of being tired.
Wan Er smiled and said, "Everyone, you must be exhausted from the journey. Please follow me and my second senior sister Ru Hua into the mountain; she has already arranged accommodations for everyone."
Hearing this enticing name, many people couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
However, when they saw the plump figure flashing out from the mountain gate, everyone felt a bit sick to their stomach.
This Sister Ru Hua was not a flower; she was more like a giant watermelon.
"Dear gentlemen and ladies, we have limited guest rooms at Jade Maiden Peak, so the rooms are divided into three ranks: high, middle, and low. To be fair, the order of accommodation will be determined by the order of arrival at the top of the hill, with the best rooms going to the first arrivals, and those who come later will have to settle for the lower-ranked rooms," said Sister Ru Hua, patting her plump belly as she spoke to the crowd.
Everyone looked behind Sister Ru Hua and saw a hill covered with strange rocks, which was four to five hundred meters away.
After hearing Ru Hua's words, everyone was eager to try.
With a faint smile, Ru Hua said to everyone, "Please follow me!"
As she led the way hopping up the hill, although she was corpulent, her movements were very agile.
Within a distance of less than a hundred meters, except for Lin Chen, everyone else was quickly left far behind by Sister Ru Hua.
"Wow, little guy, you can actually keep up with me," Ru Hua laughed.
Lin Chen smiled humbly and said, "I'm just barely keeping up."
"Is that so?" Ru Hua's face suddenly revealed a faint smile, and she quickened her pace a bit more.
"Damn, is this Sister Ru Hua really a fatty? How can she have such fast movement technique!" Lin Chen couldn't help but be speechless.
This Sister Ru Hua was like a bouncing ball of flesh in the mountains, and Lin Chen had to push his speed to the limit to keep up with her.
"You have potential, young man. You can actually keep up with Sister Ru Hua who's known as the 'Little Cheetah,'" Ru Hua said, patting Lin Chen on the shoulder after landing.
"Nani, 'Little Cheetah'!" Lin Chen looked her up and down; she was more like a little fat pig rather than a cheetah.
However, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't voice his thoughts aloud. He smiled and said, "I admire your movement technique, Sister; it's truly extraordinary."
Ru Hua glanced at Lin Chen and said, "You don't have to pretend, your movement technique is clearly superior to mine; you've been deliberately hanging back all this time."
Lin Chen was secretly shocked in his heart. This Sister Ru Hua had Eyes of Golden Flame to see that he was hiding his true strength.
