He has to watch Lin Chen's game.
He was completely concealed in a black cloak, and wore large sunglasses.
He squeezed himself between Xu Si and Xu San.
He breathed a long sigh of relief after realizing that everyone's attention was on the field and no one was looking at him.
Xu Si was pushed aside and frowned unhappily.
Just as I was about to curse, I realized it was Zhang Chulan.
He was startled:
"Bilian, where did you steal this outfit from?"
Zhang Chulan: "...I'm an honest kid, would I steal? I just borrowed it..."
The referee announced the start of the match and invited both teams to enter the field.
Lin Chen and Zhang Lingyu slowly walked towards the arena amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.
The two received thunderous applause from the audience as soon as they stepped onto the stage.
"A clash of titans among top novelists—I don't want to see any of them lose. What should I do?"
"If you ask me, Master Lingyu is stronger; he's already quite famous. Lin Chen is very strong, but he's still a newcomer!"
"What's wrong with a newcomer? I think he can beat Master Lingyu!"
"You are still too naive!"
"He's just an ordinary employee at NaDuTong, how can he be compared to the Old Master's personal disciple?"
On the playing field.
Lin Chen and Zhang Lingyu stood facing each other.
"I've finally waited for this moment!"
Zhang Lingyu looked at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
Excitement, anticipation, or hatred...
Lin Chen smiled at Zhang Lingyu.
"Lingyu, we don't really have any deep-seated hatred between us. We can still be good brothers, right?"
Zhang Lingyu, unusually, did not refute:
"After today's great battle, all our grudges will be wiped clean, and we'll go back to the way things were."
"Lin Chen, I will do my best, and I ask that you do the same!"
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow:
"Are you sure you want me to go all out?"
"Sure!"
Having received an affirmative answer, Lin Chen glanced in the direction of the old Celestial Master.
It's as if they're saying, "This is your disciple, and I'm giving it my all."
If you lose, don't come after me.
Don't try to learn from Grandpa Lu's methods.
The old master smiled and nodded, indicating that he and Lu Jin were completely different types of people.
Go ahead and fight!
After yesterday's battle between Lu Jin and Lin Chen.
The old master was certain that Zhang Lingyu was no match for Lin Chen.
What he wants now is not for Zhang Lingyu to win.
Instead, she wanted him to accept her imperfections.
Face the past, look to the future.
Having received the old master's assurance, Lin Chen looked at Zhang Lingyu.
"I will take this match seriously!"
"After the competition, I hope we can still be the same two boys we were back then!"
As for whether or not I'll give it my all, that depends on your abilities!
"The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi, through countless eons of cultivation, I will attain my divine powers..."
As Zhang Lingyu chanted the incantation, his body was gradually enveloped in a layer of golden light.
Moreover, the golden light grew brighter and brighter, as if it were vying with the sun for brilliance.
Lin Chen casually cast an air shield on himself.
Compared to Zhang Lingyu's dazzling gold.
He then became much more low-key.
His body was enveloped in a colorless and odorless air shield.
It is so understated and unassuming that people don't even notice its presence.
But no one would underestimate its air shield, not even the Old Master.
“Lingyu, compared to a month ago, your Golden Light Spell has become much more solid.”
"It seems you've made great progress this past month!"
"Why don't you?"
Zhang Lingyu stopped wasting words with Lin Chen and launched the first attack.
Facing an opponent like Lin Chen, he must seize every opportunity to have any chance of winning.
Lin Chen watched Zhang Lingyu rush towards him and a smile played on his lips.
This guy not only improved his strength, but also his adaptability!
In the past, this guy wouldn't make the first move unless I did it myself.
The old celestial master stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at the changes in his disciple.
His apprentice is good in every way, except that he's too serious.
It was indeed beneficial to let him spend more time with Lin Chen.
Seizing the initiative and launching the first attack—that's excellent!
Zhang Lingyu flashed like a shooting star, instantly appearing in front of Lin Chen.
He swung a palm at him.
It may seem like a light, casual strike, but it possesses the power of a thunderbolt.
Lin Chen retreated rapidly, until the two were close enough.
He spun around and appeared behind Zhang Lingyu, then swung his hand at him.
The palm strike carried terrifying kinetic energy, creating a strong gust of wind that tousled Zhang Lingyu's long hair.
Zhang Lingyu narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly dodged.
But Lin Chen's attack method was never his own palm, but the air.
Zhang Lingyu dodged Lin Chen's palm, but couldn't dodge the air he manipulated.
The compressed air collided with Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Mantra, creating an explosion.
Zhang Lingyu's Golden Light Mantra shattered instantly.
"Holy crap, Master Lingyu's Golden Light Mantra was just smashed to pieces by Lin Chen with a single slap!"
"Is this real? Am I not hallucinating?"
"It's true, because I saw it too!"
After her initial surprise, Zhang Lingyu did not stop her attack.
He then threw a punch at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen neither dodged nor avoided the punch, but instead used his air shield to take it head-on.
The air shield trembled slightly twice before returning to normal.
The nonchalant look in Zhang Lingyu's eyes vanished, replaced by profound shock.
What kind of defense is this?
It's even stronger than the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Lin Chen hadn't expected Zhang Lingyu's punch to be so weak and powerless, and laughed:
"Lingyu, did you skip breakfast this morning?"
"The fist felt limp and weak, like it was just tickling me."
Zhang Lingyu was furious upon hearing this.
The fists rained down on Lin Chen as if they were free, raining down on him relentlessly.
If one punch doesn't break through, he'll use countless punches.
There will always be a time when we break through his defenses and defeat this kid.
The old celestial master looked at his disciple, who was somewhat out of his mind, and shook his head.
Lingyu is still too inexperienced and too easily influenced by external things.
Lin Chen wouldn't.
"Lingyu, your emotions are your own responsibility. Don't let other people's words affect you. If your mind is in turmoil, you won't be able to play this match."
The old master looked around and, finding no one paying attention to him,...
He hurriedly reminded his good disciple with his inner voice.
He knew Zhang Lingyu would lose, but he didn't want Zhang Lingyu to lose too quickly.
This would be a huge loss of face for the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Lin Chen seemed to sense something, glanced in the direction of the old celestial master, and frowned.
Was it just his imagination? Something just doesn't feel right.
The old master was startled. What a perceptive little child! He could sense even this.
Upon hearing the old Celestial Master's words, Zhang Lingyu's emotions, which had just been affected by Lin Chen, gradually calmed down.
Master is right. He must not lose his composure or let his emotions be swayed by others.
He wants to take the initiative into his own hands.
Quantity can indeed cause qualitative changes.
Lin Chen's air shield slowly crumbled under Zhang Lingyu's countless punches.
Zhang Lingyu was overjoyed, and her fist, enveloped in golden light, was about to strike Lin Chen's face.
Just as his fist was about to touch Lin Chen's cheek, Lin Chen suddenly disappeared.
Once Zhang Lingyu calmed down, she didn't find anything strange about it.
He had watched Lin Chen's previous matches and was fairly familiar with his abilities.
This must be one of his abilities, spatial teleportation!
Zhang Lingyu looked around warily.
Trying to feel the fluctuations in the surrounding air.
Sudden.
