CHAPTER 1242: CHAPTER 1242 GROUP CLEARANCE

Boom——

Lin Chen did not use a trace of spiritual power.

Yet with just the strength of his physical body, more than half of the illusion shadows attacking Lin Chen were instantly shattered by his punch.

Under Lin Chen’s fist, those illusion shadows were like paper, disintegrating into ashes upon touch.

With another punch, the remaining illusion shadows in front of Lin Chen were also shattered into ashes.

In just a couple of breaths, Lin Chen surprisingly annihilated those illusion shadows in an instant.

Gulp——

Everyone around looked at Lin Chen with disbelief, their eyes filled with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

The martial artists who had mocked Lin Chen earlier now realized that the clown was actually themselves.

That Lin Chen was so powerful, and at the fifth level of the Nirvana realm, what a monstrous talent he was.

Swish——

After eliminating those illusion shadows, Lin Chen flashed over to Su Xiao and Yang Ming’s side, similarly helping them solve their illusion shadows.

"You two shouldn’t need my help, right?"

Lin Chen rubbed his fists and looked at Yang Minghui and Su Yun, speaking lightly.

Lin Chen now had a clear understanding of his bodily strength; he could say that under the Creation realm, even without the aid of spiritual power, he could fight with just his physical strength.

Of course, this was only against ordinary martial artists; if he encountered a Heavenly Pride, he would still need to use some true skills.

"Help? Better take care of yourself. Who needs your help? This young master has the skills to pass this test."

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Chen, gave a light snort, and slashed the illusion shadow before her with a sharp sword in her hand; she didn’t want to concede in front of Lin Chen.

As for Su Yun, after Lin Chen’s guidance, his strength had greatly increased, so dealing with these illusion shadows in front of him was also easily manageable.

Although the two couldn’t instantaneously kill with a single punch like Lin Chen, dealing with their eleven illusion shadows was still easy.

Faced with Lin Chen’s prowess, the surrounding martial artists were dumbfounded. Who would have thought that Lin Chen, merely at the fifth level of the Nirvana realm, had not only helped Yu Weilian but also helped Su Xiao and Yang Ming, with most battles being resolved in one or two punches.

Such strength, is this even human...

...

In a secret room at the end of the hall, Elder Zhao observed the test situation in the hall through the light screen in front of him.

Upon learning that Lin Chen helped Yu Weilian, Su Xiao, and Yang Ming, Elder Zhao’s heart was also somewhat in turmoil.

Lin Chen’s strength was undeniably monstrous.

Those illusion shadows in front of Lin Chen were indeed like paper, shattering with just a touch.

Compared to the one a hundred years ago, Lin Chen’s performance seemed to be even stronger.

Elder Zhao was momentarily uncertain of his decision.

One thing was for sure: the idea of recruiting Lin Chen as his disciple was out of the question.

There must be big figures in the Heavenly Palace eyeing Lin Chen, wanting to recruit him.

And he, just a mere assessment elder, certainly did not have the qualification to compete with those big figures.

It wouldn’t be long before another legendary figure would emerge within their Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

But the premise of all this is that Lin Chen can fully grow and not be cut short mid-way.

After all, there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, but only a handful can grow smoothly.

There’s a common problem with these Heavenly Prides: they’re too arrogant and insane, not taking other inferior talents into account.

As a result, they easily stir up trouble, inviting disaster.

Elder Zhao, thinking of this, decided to find an opportunity to suppress Lin Chen’s sharpness, not allowing him to be too complacent to avoid attracting disaster.

Subsequently, Lin Chen and the others proceeded towards the final barrier.

As they left the eleventh barrier, Lin Chen sensed a bone-chilling killing intent from behind.

With the Abyssal Eye possessed by Lin Chen, under its scrutiny, all monsters and evils had nowhere to hide, let alone this minor killing intent.

Although the opponent attempted to hide it, Lin Chen still sensed it.

Lin Chen was quite puzzled; he had no acquaintance with this person, so why did the opponent harbor killing intent towards him?

Lin Chen and Yu Weilian focused on the final barrier, temporarily ignoring the cloaked individual.

Lin Chen chose to watch and wait, keeping a close eye on the opponent.

If the other truly had ill intentions, Lin Chen wouldn’t mind sending them away.

Lin Chen’s principle has always been not to provoke trouble, but not to fear it either.

If anyone disrespected him, harbored killing intent, Lin Chen would certainly retaliate tenfold.

The group entered the twelfth partition, and the situation was the same as before.

Under Lin Chen’s immense strength, the appearing illusion shadows were still instant-killed by Lin Chen; even if they numbered in the hundreds or thousands, they were merely a matter of Lin Chen throwing a few more punches.

This was incomprehensible to everyone, wondering why Lin Chen, with only fifth level Nirvana realm cultivation, possessed such formidable combat strength.

Thus, everyone passed through this final partition, successfully passing the hall, completing the first test.

Exiting the hall, they arrived at the outside plaza, where thousands of people had already gathered.

However, compared to the hundreds of thousands before, the elimination rate was extremely high, with less than ten percent passing the test.

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on the Zhang Family members, noticing that their pass rate reached seventy percent; truly, the Zhang Family was worthy as one of the Eight Great Noble Families of Yunlong City.

Lin Chen also saw other members of the Eight Great Noble Families, their situation was similar to Zhang Family, with a pass rate around seventy percent.

When Lin Chen gazed at the Zhang Family members, Zhang Hongying and others also looked at Lin Chen and his group.

Zhang Hongying, looking at Lin Chen and the people around him, was inwardly surprised, secretly thinking that nearly everyone around Lin Chen had passed the test, with a pass rate of almost eighty percent, which was no less than the Eight Great Noble Families of Yunlong City.

Zhang Chaosong, looking at Lin Chen, clenched his fists, full of killing intent.

He didn’t expect Lin Chen’s side to have such a high pass rate; he initially wanted to ridicule Lin Chen once he came out, but now had no face to speak.

Glancing around, though most martial artists passed the first test, their situations were not optimistic, with many severely injured.
