Chapter 944 -160: I Told You to Teach Them a Lesson, Not Humiliate Them
Late evening.
The young man who had previously guided Lin Chen came to the courtyard.
“Princess Yin Yue, Brother Lin, our tribe is hosting a feast tonight, may I ask if you both have time?”
“Feast?”
Lin Chen was somewhat surprised. Judging by the entropy race’s attitude towards Yin Yue, they didn’t seem to care much. Why would they arrange a feast at this time?
“This is a gathering we hold every three months for the younger generation of our tribe. I thought if the two of you don’t have other plans, you might want to join us.”
Qianlang explained a bit, and Lin Chen then understood what the feast meant.
This was a gathering for the younger generation of the entropy race.
Exchanging a glance with Yin Yue, the two nodded, following Qianlang toward a plaza ahead.
At this moment, quite a few young people were already gathered in the plaza, all Innate Realm martial artists. Seeing Qianlang bringing Lin Chen and Yin Yue over, their attention turned to them.
“Allow me to introduce everyone, this is Princess Yin Yue from the Moon Soul Race.”
Qianlang introduced Yin Yue to the tribe’s young members, many of whom showed curiosity. Being from ancient remnant races, they understood what it meant to be the Moon Soul Race’s princess.
Not every ancient remnant race has a royal family, yet if there is, it signifies powerful bloodline divine techniques.
The Moon Soul Race is one such race.
Thus, even though Yin Yue appeared as a mere girl, none of the young members of the entropy race dared to underestimate her.
“As for this person...”
Qianlang’s gaze turned to Lin Chen: “Those who haven’t ventured outside might not know, but Brother Lin is quite famous externally— a genius disciple of the Canglan Sect, the strongest in Martial Arts Mountain in recent decades. Recently, he even broke into the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, his power in the Innate Third Realm is deemed invincible, and he is only twenty-one. This, however, is not the main point; the main point is Brother Lin doesn’t come from noble families but hails from a remote martial arts deserted island beyond the Eastern Sea.”
Accompanying Yin Yue to the entropy race this time, Lin Chen didn’t use a fake identity to avoid misunderstanding with the entropy race.
Listening to Qianlang’s series of introductions about himself, Lin Chen was slightly surprised. He did not expect Qianlang to know him so well.
“Brother Lin, our entropy race takes keen interest in external affairs due to various reasons. Honestly, even I am shocked by the speed of your strength growth.”
Seeing Lin Chen’s surprise, Qianlang smiled and explained.
Members of the entropy race onsite, some have heard of Lin Chen, while others have not, but at this moment, all eyes on Lin Chen were filled with curiosity.
Being an ancient remnant race, even when facing genius disciples of those super sects outside, they hold their own superiority. Yet, hearing Qianlang talk about Lin Chen’s achievements in martial arts astonished them.
At twenty-one, reaching Peak of Innate Third Realm, no one of this generation in the tribe has managed to achieve this.
“Qianlang, are you sure about this?”
A tribe member expressed suspicion, looking at Lin Chen with skeptical eyes.
Lin Chen’s Innate Third Realm martial artist aura was unmistakable, but they doubted the invincibility statement of this Third Realm.
Someone questioned, and Lin Chen was about to speak, but a voice transmitted from Qianlang to his ear: “Brother Lin, this introduction was the Elder’s instruction. The tribe’s young members are overly arrogant, and the Elder hopes to use your hand to humble them, to teach them there are always others beyond their capability.”
Listening to Qianlang’s transmitted words, Lin Chen understood why Qianlang imposed on him so many titles, especially the “Innate Third Realm deemed invincible” phrase, which was meant to incite envy.
“Brother Lang, with my current strength, it might be hard to achieve this, please don’t make it difficult for me.”
“Brother Lin, don’t worry. The Elder said you won’t make a move for nothing, there will be significant rewards from the tribe.”
Significant rewards?
“Cough cough, since it’s an instruction from your esteemed Elder, as a junior, I have no hesitation.”
Lin Chen’s attitude changed immediately. Facing the skeptical eyes of some young members of the entropy race, he kept his hands behind his back and did not respond.
On the side, Yin Yue saw Lin Chen acting arrogantly and had a contemplating look on her face. Glancing at Qianlang standing next to Lin Chen, an understanding gleam appeared in her eyes. It seemed like Qianlang must have conveyed something to Lin Chen.
Otherwise, based on her understanding of Lin Chen, he should have humbly deflected the challenge instead of provoking more discontent among these young members of the entropy race with indifference.
“At twenty-one, stepping into the Peak of Innate Third Realm, I surely can’t compare, but declaring invincible in Innate Third Realm is a bit too boastful. There are only a few in Flame Dynasty who dare to claim invincible in the same realm; I, Qianshan, am also in Innate Third Realm, do you dare battle me?”
Qianshan’s gaze was fixed on Lin Chen, being an Innate Third Realm martial artist, he acknowledged Lin Chen’s rapid cultivation speed surprised him but did not mean he agreed with Lin Chen’s invincibility in the Innate Third Realm.
Even the ancient remnant races wouldn’t recklessly claim invincibility at the same realm, so why should a Canglan Sect disciple dare speak like this?
In the history of Martial Arts Realm, those who dared declare invincibility at the same realm certainly did not achieve it through fame earned at Martial Arts Mountain or Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, but from accumulating combat skills through battles.
Everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Chen after Qianshan spoke. Being the strongest in the Peak of Innate Third Realm for five years, Qianshan had the entitlement to challenge Lin Chen.
“Sure!”
Lin Chen agreed. Having reached an agreement with Qianlang, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
However, the Elder of the entropy race, if he wished Lin Chen to suppress the young members’ arrogance, just one fight might not suffice.
The better the effect, the heavier the reward.
Lin Chen understood this principle.
“Then, please.”
Seeing Lin Chen agree, battle intent sparked in Qianshan’s eyes as he slowly walked to the center of the plaza, awaiting Lin Chen.
“Let’s not rush.”
Lin Chen did not move but scanned the crowd: “I wonder how many of you here are in Innate Third Realm?”
Hearing this, Qianlang stood frozen beside him, unclear about Lin Chen’s intention, but quickly surveyed the tribe members on-site: “Counting myself, there are sixteen in total.”
“Sixteen...”
Lin Chen nodded slightly. He had just perceived with his divine thought; among these sixteen, six were at the Peak of Innate Third Realm, while the rest seemed to have recently entered the Innate Third Realm.
“Then all of you should come together, no need to face me one by one.”
Lin Chen spoke calmly, keeping his hands behind his back, yet as soon as these words left his mouth, the young entropy race members roared in amazement.
Together, in a mass fight against one?
The young members of the entropy race gazed at Lin Chen with outrage.
These words were a humiliation to their tribe’s younger generation.
Even Qianlang, who had previously transmitted words to Lin Chen, was left dumbfounded. The Elder intended for Lin Chen to check the tribe’s arrogance, but Lin Chen’s actions now pushed their dignity to the ground. If all Innate Third Realm members fought at once, victory would be tolerable. But defeat wouldn’t simply humble them; it might shatter their martial path spirit.
