Chapter 44 Body Protection Beads

"This is the Tianji Ranking." Ao Xin said, "The Tianji Ranking is a list of inner disciples. The ten people in the first row are the ten core disciples of our Tianji Sect, and the second row is the ten inner disciples, ranked from left to right. The inner disciples who can enter the Tianji Ranking have cultivation at least in the early stage of Tiangang Realm."

"Early stage of Tiangang Realm?" Lin Chen raised his head and looked at the Tianji Ranking.

The first person in the first row is Chen Gaoyi, the core disciple of Tianji Sect. His cultivation has reached the peak of Tiangang Realm. He is only one step away from advancing to the True Dao Realm.

The last person in the last row is a disciple named Hong Wei. It has been some time since his cultivation broke through to the early stage of Tiangang Realm. His strength is much stronger than that of Tiangang Realm warriors like Li Shan.

"My cultivation is still at the bottom among the inner disciples." Lin Chen shook his head secretly. Although he became an inner disciple with the cultivation of the late sixth stage of the Refining Body Realm, his cultivation is also the lowest among the inner disciples.

Of course, in terms of strength, Lin Chen is much stronger than most of the inner disciples in the body refining realm.

"Lin Chen, the ranking on this Tianji list is changing at any time, because every moment, there will be other disciples who have breakthroughs in their cultivation and their strength will increase greatly. As long as these disciples challenge anyone on the Tianji list, once the challenge is successful, they will replace the ranking of the disciples on the list."

Ao Xin smiled and said, "But it is not absolute. There are still many disciples in the inner sect who hide their strength and are not interested in the Tianji list. Of course, there are few such disciples. After all, it is an honor to be ranked on the Tianji list, and the treatment of the inner disciples on the Tianji list is much higher."

As long as they are inner disciples, they can receive elixirs and spirit stones issued by the sect, and the inner disciples on the Tianji list get much stronger elixirs and spirit stones than ordinary inner disciples.

It is precisely because of this that all the inner disciples are devoted to hard practice in order to be honored on the list as soon as possible. Under this vigorous practice, the entire Tianji Sect also blooms with brilliant brilliance and lasts forever.

Lin Chen nodded, indicating his understanding. After all, if a sect wants to maintain its long-term prosperity, the disciples in the sect are crucial.

After looking at the Tianji list for a while, Lin Chen found that the list had changed several times, and it was obvious that some disciples were eliminated. However, the disciples on the Tianji list do not have to accept challenges from other inner disciples all the time. There are a maximum of three challenges a day. If they are in seclusion or out for training, it is counted separately.

Leaving the square, the two happened to pass by the mission hall of the inner sect of Tianji Sect.

The inner disciples of Tianji Sect must complete a sect mission every month. Of course, the tasks done by the inner disciples are much more difficult than the sect missions in the outer sect mission hall.

The sect missions in the mission hall are divided into seven stars. One star and two stars correspond to warriors in the body refining realm, three stars and four stars correspond to warriors in the Tiangang realm, and five stars and six stars correspond to warriors in the true way realm. As for the seven-star mission, generally only geniuses who have not come out of the world and the elders of the sect can complete it.

Lin Chen stayed here for a while and continued to walk down.

After passing through a dense forest, the two finally came to a stone pavilion. In the stone pavilion, there was a pretty figure, with long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, and a white tight-fitting dress that showed off her curvy figure to the fullest.

On the stone table, there was a snow-white sword, and against the backdrop of this sword, she looked like a chivalrous woman.

Seeing this, Ao Xin stuck out her tongue and walked towards the stone pavilion with a smile.

Lin Chen followed slowly.

The figure slowly turned around, and it was Xue Lingyun. Seeing Lin Chen, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Lin Chen, congratulations on entering the inner gate."

Lin Chen bowed and smiled, "I also want to thank my senior sister for helping me temper my body."

After that, the three of them fell silent.

Although Lin Chen had lived two lives, he was an idiot in terms of emotions. Seeing Xue Lingyun fall silent at this moment, he couldn't help but panic. But he didn't know how to speak, so he could only stare wide-eyed and remain silent.

Xue Lingyun, seeing Lin Chen's flustered look, laughed in her heart, but because of her girlish reserve, she did not speak.

The atmosphere in the stone pavilion seemed a little depressing. Perhaps unable to bear this kind of depression, Ao Xin curled her lips and said, "I say, do you two have to do this? It's not a life-and-death separation. Lin Chen, if you want to see Lingyun again in the future, practice hard, and then you can go to Tianbei Country to find her. And Lingyun, just a few years, it will pass in the blink of an eye."

After hearing Ao Xin's words, Xue Lingyun's pretty face suddenly blushed slightly, turned her head and looked at Lin Chen, and the two looked at each other in the air.

"Lin Chen, this thing is for you." Xue Lingyun suddenly took out a light blue crystal ball the size of two thumbs and handed it to Lin Chen, looking at him hopefully.

"Body protection bead! Lin Chen, this is a good thing." Ao Xin saw this and exclaimed, then said with a face full of resentment: "Lingyun, you are really willing to give it up. This thing is extremely precious. Only the inner sect genius disciples will be given one. If you don't want it, what if you encounter danger?"

Xue Lingyun's face flushed again, and said: "Lin Chen is still in the late sixth level of the body refining realm. He really needs the body protection bead."

Lin Chen was stunned, and then shook his head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, how can I accept such a valuable gift. What's more, senior sister is about to go out for training, and it will be dangerous on the way, so it's better to take this body protection bead."

Hearing this, Xue Lingyun felt a little disappointed, but she returned to normal immediately. If Lin Chen accepted it on the spot, Xue Lingyun would be even more disappointed. At this moment, Lin Chen shook his head and refused, which could reflect his character and quality.

"This body protection bead can withstand the attack of a Tiangang Realm warrior. You can keep it for the critical moment." Xue Lingyun said.

Ao Xin on the side also said: "Lin Chen, Lingyun is willing to give you the body protection bead. This is an affirmation of you. Why don't you take it quickly."

Lin Chen nodded and stretched out his hand to take it. This body protection bead was faintly blue. Lin Chen wrapped it in a sachet and hung it around his waist in front of the two women.

At first glance, Lin Chen seemed to have become a playboy.

Seeing this, Xue Lingyun couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh softly. Immediately, the three chatted in the stone pavilion. Xue Lingyun went to Tianbei Country this time, led by an inner sect elder in the late stage of the True Dao Realm. In addition, there were two other inner sect genius disciples, all of whom were extraordinary.

This time, the four people went to Tianbei Country as inspectors for three years, that is, if there were no unexpected circumstances, Xue Lingyun and the other four would return to Tianji Sect after three years.

After chatting for a while, the two women said goodbye to Lin Chen, and Xue Lingyun was ready to report to the Mission Hall.

After seeing Xue Lingyun off, Lin Chen followed the instructions of the token and found a courtyard on the inner sect Kaohsiung Peak to live.

Many disciples living on Kaohsiung Peak were promoted to inner sect disciples in the past two years. Not far from Lin Chen's courtyard was Yuan Fei's residence.

Early the next morning.

"Huh..."

Lin Chen woke up from his hard practice, and with a click, a piece of medium-grade spirit stone in his hand broke into pieces. After a night of hard practice, he actually absorbed the spiritual energy of a piece of medium-grade spirit stone.

However, the benefits are self-evident. The true energy in Lin Chen's Dantian is getting thicker and thicker, and his cultivation has improved a lot.

Immediately, Lin Chen combed his hair, came to the yard with a fine steel sword, and started practicing swordsmanship.

Swish, swish, swish!

The fine steel sword was swung repeatedly, leaving several afterimages in the air.

With the improvement of physical fitness and the breakthrough of cultivation, the power of Lin Chen's various martial arts will be greatly increased.

After practicing swordsmanship for a whole morning and having lunch, Lin Chen picked up the melee body movement Eagle Strike Transformation and started to look at it.

Eagle Strike Transformation is divided into three forms, the first change is Eagle Pounce, the second change is Eagle Flash, and the third change is Eagle Strike. When practicing to the third change, it can even evolve into an attack. Compared with the melee body movement of the same level, this Eagle Strike Transformation is much more powerful.

"Eagle Strike Transformation was created by simulating the flight of the Heavenly Eagle. When I practice this body movement, it is best to imagine myself as the Heavenly Eagle."

When the Heavenly Eagle flies, it is extremely fast. Whether it is a long journey or a small range of movement, it is extremely fast. This Eagle Strike Transformation only inherited the melee speed of the Sky Eagle, and then used the true energy to circulate the mental method of the major meridians and acupoints in the body.

Lin Chen calmed down, and suddenly he looked like a Sky Eagle, with sharp eyes and a huge momentum.

"Hah!"

With a low shout, Lin Chen's body suddenly moved, leaving several afterimages on the flat ground, and swept forward. This speed was slightly faster than when he performed the Qingyun Step.

The first time he performed the Eagle Strike Transformation, he could perform it to such a degree. If others saw it, I don't know how surprised they would be.

However, Lin Chen frowned and thought to himself: "The first change of the Eagle Strike Transformation is the Eagle Pounce. The speed I performed just now was barely enough, but with the sword skills, it couldn't play a role in blessing the power."

After a slight hesitation, Lin Chen drew out the fine steel sword. At the same time, the momentum of his whole body changed again, like an eagle swooping forward, as if there was a prey in front of him.

While performing this move, Lin Chen slammed the fine steel sword in his hand.

Puff.

The sound of the fine steel sword piercing the air sounded. Under the attack of Eagle Strike, the power of this sword was much stronger than usual.

The next moment, Lin Chen's body stopped about a hundred meters away. He pondered for a moment, thinking about the shortcomings of the Eagle Strike and Eagle Pounce just now.

"The form is similar but the spirit is not. Let's do it again!"

After thinking for a while, Lin Chen held the fine steel sword and practiced again in the yard.

Swish!

Swish!

The sword light flashed in the air, and Lin Chen's body kept flashing in the yard, accompanied by a series of piercing sounds of breaking through the air.

"Hah!"

Lin Chen moved his body, like an eagle catching prey and pounced forward fiercely, while the fine steel sword in his hand quickly struck out.

This time, Lin Chen seemed to have really become an eagle. His body was an eagle's body, and the fine steel sword in his hand was an eagle's claw. His body pounced forward and his claws fell at the same time.

Swish...

The fine steel sword struck the ground, leaving a long scratch.

"I have mastered the Eagle Pounce!" Seeing this, Lin Chen's face immediately showed great joy. In just one afternoon, Lin Chen had mastered the first transformation of Eagle Strike, Eagle Pounce, to the highest level.
