Chapter 853: Chapter 853

After Lin Chen and Feng Yu finished their meal, they had just stepped out of the cafeteria when they were surrounded by over a dozen youths, led by none other than Bai Shan from earlier.

Bai Shan looked at Lin Chen with ice-cold eyes: "Kid, wait a moment. Do you dare to duel with me on the martial arts field?"

"Duel?" Lin Chen was taken aback by the youth's proposal.

Bai Shan's cultivation level wasn't high, merely at the Yuan Dan stage. Lin Chen was curious where this guy got the confidence to challenge him to a duel.

Sister Ru Hua, standing aside, suddenly let out a laugh, thinking to herself that this guy really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Not to mention one Bai Shan, even all these guys together were no match for Lin Chen.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"Exactly. If you are a real man, then accept Brother Bai Shan's challenge."

The others also followed suit, shouting one after another.

"You lot really don't know whether you are alive or dead. How could Lin Chen Brother be someone you can challenge?" Feng Yu scoffed coldly.

Lin Chen smiled faintly: "I'm free right now anyway, and since you all seem so keen, I might as well join you for a bit of fun."

With these words, the group arrived at the martial arts field. The young people were all brimming with excitement, as if they were about to witness Lin Chen being taught a lesson.

The martial arts field was paved with bluestone, and the entire field was encircled by a barrier created by formations.

This formation was incredibly mysterious; no matter how much commotion you caused on the martial arts field, it wouldn't have the slightest effect outside of it.

Moreover, Lin Chen realized that the bluestones under his feet were also different from ordinary ones; they had the capability to resist Five Elements spells.

Lin Chen moved to the center of the field, giving everyone a light smile: "Whoever refuses to accept this can come up."

Bai Shan stepped up without hesitation, huffing coldly: "Lin Chen, what makes you think you're worthy to sit with Wang Zixuan? Let me tell you, she is Brother Wang Hao's woman from Shushan. If you dare to covet her, I'll be the first to teach you a lesson on behalf of Brother Wang Hao."

Lin Chen sneered coldly: "Enough talk. Are you ready?"

Bai Shan's gaze turned icy as he watched Lin Chen with caution: "What are you going to do?"

Lin Chen looked at Bai Shan with a taunting air: "If you're ready, kneel down."

Once these words fell, a powerful aura swept out.

Instantly, Bai Shan felt as though he was being oppressed by a great mountain and was completely unable to move.

He wanted to resist, but under that vast aura, he felt like a tiny boat in the midst of raging waves, utterly incapable of movement.

Thud, something that left everyone wide-eyed with astonishment happened.

Bai Shan actually knelt down before Lin Chen.

"How is this possible!" No one thought Lin Chen could be so badass. Without a single exchange of blows, his mere presence had forced Bai Shan to his knees.

The entire martial arts field erupted into an uproar. It was known that Bai Shan was ranked among the top twenty on the Green Leaderboard, yet here he was, forced to kneel by Lin Chen's sheer aura.

Bai Shan's face twisted ferociously as he tried to stand up.

But the aura emanating from Lin Chen pressed down like a great mountain, making it impossible for him to move.

Finally, Bai Shan ran out of Spiritual Energy and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, Bai Shan's expression was one of utter dejection. He could never have imagined that he, the so-called number one talent of the Southeast Province, would be forced to kneel by someone's aura here.

Although his physical injury wasn't serious, the damage to his spirit was far heavier.

Bai Shan's path in the martial arts would likely struggle to progress from this point, having suffered a blow to his martial heart.

Seeing Bai Shan suppressed by Lin Chen's aura without making a single move, those who were clamoring just moments ago now looked at Lin Chen as if he were a monster.

"Who else is not convinced?" Lin Chen said indifferently.

At this moment, another young man stood up and gave Lin Chen a deep bow.

"Brother Lin, my name is Li Bao, an Earth Attribute Martial Artist. I know I'm no match for you, but one should not miss a chance to learn from a master. I hope Brother Lin can give me some pointers." Bao Li said to Lin Chen, cupping his fist in salute.

Lin Chen nodded: "Brother Bao, you're too polite. Please, go ahead."

Bao Li nodded, and his body shot towards Lin Chen.

Bao Li unleashed continuous attacks on Lin Chen with his iron fists.

Although Bao Li's assault was fierce, everyone could see that Lin Chen was simply strolling leisurely, avoiding Bao Li's punches with his hands behind his back.

Finally, after the tenth move, Lin Chen dodged Bao Li's iron fist by shifting his body to the side, and the next instant, his shoulder fiercely struck out.

Bao Li felt a jolt in his chest, and his entire body was sent back four or five steps.

"This!" Bao Li's face turned red.

"Mr. Lin, I admit defeat," Bao Li said, shaking his head.

Although he had exerted his full strength, the opponent hadn't revealed his true capabilities, and even without using his hands, he was defeated, which showed the huge gap in their abilities.

Lin Chen smiled lightly: "You were gracious in defeat. Brother Bao's attacks are fast and fierce, but they lack stability. Against a strong opponent, you would easily fall into a disadvantage."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Bao Li was greatly moved and bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, Brother Lin. I understand now."

Although Bao Li lost the fight, he gained a deeper understanding of martial arts, whereas Bai Shan was disheartened by his recent defeat.

From this, one can see how important the resolute confidence of a Martial Artist in seeking strength is.

This time, no one else dared to challenge Lin Chen, and the looks they gave him were filled with a bit of reverence.

Lin Chen looked at the crowd: "If no one else is challenging, then I shall leave."

With that, Lin Chen and Feng Yu turned and left the competition arena.

Having been busy all day, everyone was tired, and by ten o'clock at night, most of the room lights were out.

The night was quiet, and while lying in bed, Lin Chen noticed that Feng Yu hadn't gone to sleep and was instead cultivating in meditation by the window.

A faint vortex of wind twirled around Feng Yu.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on Feng Yu and he frowned slightly.

At this moment, Feng Yu's face showed an expression of pain.

Lin Chen quickly went to Feng Yu's side and forcefully opened several of his acupoints, then gently pressed his palm onto Feng Yu's back.

The painful expression on Feng Yu's face gradually disappeared, and his aura suddenly became much stronger than before.

Feng Yu's body was quickly enveloped by a powerful tornado.

Seeing the changes in Feng Yu, Lin Chen exhaled deeply: "It's done."

At this moment, Feng Yu also opened his eyes, excitement in his gaze, but more so gratitude: "Thanks to you, Senior Brother Lin, otherwise I might have suffered Deviation."

Lin Chen looked at Feng Yu reproachfully: "You reckless guy, you shouldn't have tried to break through forcibly ."

Feng Yu showed a bitter smile: "The Heroic Assembly is approaching, and I wanted to improve my strength to be more competitive."

Lin Chen shook his head helplessly: "Martial arts are about letting things happen naturally. Don't do such foolish things again in the future."

Just then, Lin Chen's ears twitched; he suddenly heard faint sounds of fighting not far away.

"Something's up." Lin Chen had a premonition, told Feng Yu to stay in the room, and then he himself leaped out of the window.
