Chapter 41
The feud between the Chens and the Seven Invincible Sect had persisted well over a hundred years. Some said that their vengeance ran ocean-deep. If the leader from the central government had not regulated their relationship, they might have smashed each other’s brains from their skulls.
However, even with the central leader’s buffering, there had been countless smaller outbursts of conflicts between the two parties. Otherwise, this martial arts competition wouldn’t have existed in the first place.
“I heard that Lin Sheng was a tough nut to crack. Not yet 30, but he’s already at the peak of HuaJin. Based on the private information I received this time, Lin Sheng has already reached the cultivation level of a Baodan Grandmaster!” said a long-faced middle-aged man.
He was the leader of this operation, and also the younger brother of the Chen family Clan Leader—Chen Chang.
Upon hearing Chen Chang’s words, those young men chattering away halted almost instantly. Some of them even showed fear in their faces.
They belonged to the same generation as Lin Sheng, and they weren’t that far off in age as well, where most were in their twenties. Only a few of them had managed to make it to HuaJin, not to mention a Baodan Grandmaster.
The most likely scenario was that they would never become a Baodan Grandmaster in their lifetime.
As someone who had not yet reached the age of 30, Lin Sheng could already measure up to Grandmasters of the previous generation. That was undoubtedly a massive blow to them all.
Lu Xuan picked up the metal rod on the floor, and with a strike each, broke both of that man’s arms.
He tried to break his arms, and so he crippled both of his arms. That would be a small punishment just so that he would know better in the future.
Time quickly passed, and very soon, the sun went down, and the moon took its place. The night had blanketed the entire village.
The lights and bonfires all around the village were lit, illuminating all corners of the town, making it as bright as day.
Lu Yuling and Guo Yuanyuan had been walking around for a good part of the day and were feeling a little tired. They had wanted to leave, but Li Xun’s invitation, they decided to stay.
The three of them arrived at the battle ring right in the middle of the village.
“Juniors, here comes the main show! You will now witness the showdown between real masters. Most excitingly, you will get to see my Eldest Senior—Lin Sheng. He’s the real deal. Even the wealthy would treat him as their esteemed guest!” Li Xun pointed at the large battle ring as he reveled in pride.
