Chapter 52: Trouble Lin Chen?

Lin Zong and Lin Yun are the descendants of the second and third elders of the Lin family respectively. They are only of average or lower talent and they admire Lin Xiong in their hearts.

Lin Tai nodded slightly, with a proud look on his face.

He pondered for a moment and said, "You can't say that. There are still many geniuses in our Lin family. Which one of them is not a genius, such as Lin Lang and Lin Gu?"

At this point, Lin Tai paused abruptly, a playful look flashed across his face, and he said, "I wonder if that waste Lin Chen will come back this year. If he comes back, there will be another joke to watch!"

"Lin Chen? He was so embarrassed last year that he dared to come back to participate in the clan competition. As a result, he was beaten as soon as he entered the field, becoming a joke of last year's clan competition! In my opinion, he may not have the courage to come back this year."

"I don't know what the family thinks. Such a waste was sent to Tianji Sect. It's a waste of family resources."

Lin Zong and Lin Yun shook their heads, as if they were insulted by being in the same family with Lin Chen.

"Hehe, it's okay. I don't think he dares to come back." Lin Tai said with a smile.

In the past, Lin Chen had average talent, weak strength, and was a coward, and was often bullied by these people. It was for this reason that Lin Chen was given the title of waste.

However, despite this, Lin Chen never gave up practicing. After entering Tianji Sect, he practiced more diligently. Unfortunately, his talent was really average. At the end of last year, he was still in the middle stage of the fourth level of the body refining realm. After returning to the sect, he made a slight breakthrough and advanced to the late stage of the fourth level of the body refining realm.

After listening to Lin Tai's words, Lin Zong and Lin Yun both nodded. But the next moment, a slight sound of footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

The three of them turned their heads subconsciously, but when they saw it, they couldn't help but be stunned.

It was Lin Chen!

"Huh?" Lin Tai looked stunned, and Lin Zong and Lin Yun also had a weird expression. It's really like talking about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will appear.

"Tsk tsk, you are so brave, Lin Chen, I didn't expect you to dare to come back this year!" Lin Tai reacted quickly, and seemed to want to show off himself, and couldn't help but mock Lin Chen.

Lin Zong and Lin Yun on the side looked at Lin Chen jokingly, with a helpless expression.

However, to the surprise of the three people, Lin Chen only glanced at the three people, then turned around and continued to walk forward, not taking them seriously at all.

Seeing this, Lin Tai couldn't help but be stunned, his face slightly unhappy, he moved his feet, moved two steps to the left, just in front of Lin Chen.

"Hehe, Lin Chen, you just returned to the family, just let us test your strength, otherwise if you are still like last year, just on the stage, you are suppressed and beaten, isn't this a shame for our family?" Lin Tai smiled sinisterly and said.

Lin Chen stopped and said lightly: "You'd better get out of my way now."

Hearing this, Lin Tai's face changed immediately. Originally, he just wanted to tease Lin Chen and find an opportunity to teach Lin Chen a lesson in a few days. Who would have thought that Lin Chen didn't take him seriously at all, and his tone of voice was even more contemptuous.

Lin Zong and Lin Yun beside him also looked at each other and felt Lin Tai's anger.

"Lin Chen, it seems that you have grown courage after not seeing you for a year!" Lin Tai's face was gloomy and he said fiercely: "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you will be even more arrogant in the future!"

While speaking, Lin Tai took two steps forward and grabbed Lin Chen's chest with one hand. It seemed that he wanted to lift Lin Chen up with one hand.

Lin Zong and Lin Yun looked at each other and smiled helplessly. In their opinion, Lin Chen was really too ignorant. Since he had just returned home, he should be honest, otherwise he would only cause trouble for himself. But it's no use to regret it now. Today, Lin Chen is destined to be taught a lesson by Lin Tai.

However, just when Lin Zong and Lin Yun felt pity for Lin Chen, they saw Lin Chen suddenly raised one hand and slapped Lin Tai's face.

Snap!

A crisp sound rang out.

The next moment, Lin Tai was seen flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, and finally hit a wooden beam.

Looking at his face again, there were five bright red finger marks.

"Ah... Puff!" Lin Tai, who fell under the wooden beam, suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as a piece of white paper.

"This, this..."

Lin Zong and Lin Yun were stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Chen dumbfounded. They knew Lin Tai's strength very well. If they fought alone, neither Lin Zong nor Lin Yun would be Lin Tai's opponent. However, when he met Lin Chen, he was slapped into such a state by him...

Even if Lin Chen did not use the Ancient Bronze Body Refining Technique, the power of his slap should not be underestimated, and it was not something that Lin Tai, a peak warrior of the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm, could resist.

After slapping Lin Tai away, Lin Chen's face did not change at all. He did not even look at Lin Tai and the other two, and walked straight ahead.

And Lin Zong and Lin Yun, as if stupid, stared at Lin Chen leaving.

…

Returning to the remote courtyard, he had not lived here for a year, and the whole courtyard was full of dust. After Lin Chen spent a little time tidying up the courtyard, he entered the room and began to practice.

Lin Tai's wanton harassment did not cause Lin Chen's slightest emotional fluctuation. Lin Tai was only of average qualifications in the Lin family, and his status was not high. If he did not have two brothers with good talents, his treatment would not be much higher than Lin Chen.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a few days later.

"Huh..."

Lin Chen exhaled lightly and woke up from his practice. At the same time, two cracking sounds were heard in his hands, and he saw that the two low-grade spirit stones in his hands were cracked several times.

If it were other body-refining realm warriors, they would not dare to use two medium-grade spirit stones to practice at the same time. After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the medium-grade spirit stones is too huge. If they are not careful, they will be injured by this huge spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

But Lin Chen is not like that. Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in these medium-grade spirit stones is rich, it is more refined after being purified by the small cauldron, but the quantity is not huge.

Therefore, Lin Chen can practice with two medium-grade spirit stones at the same time.

After several days of hard practice, the true energy in Lin Chen's dantian is already very rich. It is estimated that in a short time, he will break through to the middle stage of the seventh level of the body-refining realm.

However, Lin Chen has paid a great price to cultivate the true energy in his body to such a richness. After this period of continuous hard practice, there are only less than 100 of the 300 medium-grade spirit stones on him.

As for the medium-grade Qi-gathering Pill, it has been used up long ago.

Lin Chen shook his head slightly and thought: "It seems that I should go buy some mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills. As for the mid-grade spirit stones, the effect should be better when I use them when my cultivation is about to break through."

Lin Chen's cultivation can break through in such a short period of time, and the mid-grade spirit stones have played an indispensable role. But it is too extravagant to use mid-grade spirit stones for cultivation. If Lin Chen continues to cultivate to the Tiangang realm, the mid-grade spirit stones consumed may make the spirit stones of some small families inoperative.

Without thinking too much, Lin Chen stood up, opened the door, and went straight out.

Zhenwu City is a big city with many warriors in the city and close to the Molian Mountains. Therefore, Zhenwu City supplies all kinds of spiritual objects needed by warriors. If Lin Chen wants to buy mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills, he can go directly to the pill shop in Zhenwu City.

However, just when Lin Chen walked out of the door, a surprised voice suddenly came: "Lin Chen!"

Hearing this voice, Lin Chen was stunned and turned his head. He happened to see a young man about seventeen years old not far behind him, looking at him with surprise. This young man, whose cultivation level is the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm, has a trace of evil spirit on his body, and he has obviously experienced real fighting.

Seeing the person clearly, Lin Chen also smiled and said, "Lin An, long time no see!"

Lin An was Lin Chen's childhood friend. When Lin Chen was bullied, he often helped him. The two had a very good relationship. However, after Lin Chen entered the Tianji Sect, Lin An also worshipped a master in the late Tiangang Realm. Since then, he has been training outside all year round, and only returns to the family once at the end of the year.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a year!" Lin An rushed to Lin Chen, looked at Lin Chen carefully, and then suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and laughed, "Good boy, you are amazing. I haven't seen you for a year, and your cultivation level has actually increased by three levels. You are capable!"

Lin An gave a thumbs up, with an admiring look.

Lin Chen shook his head and said with a smile, "You are the same, too. I remember that last year, you were only at the peak of the eighth level of the physical training realm. Today, I see that you are already at the late ninth level of the physical training realm."

"Hey, it's because my master is too strict, otherwise how could I improve my cultivation so quickly!" Lin An shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Okay, we rarely see each other once a year, let's not talk about this today, let's go drink together!"

As they said that, the two laughed at the same time. At this moment, Lin Chen was also very happy to see Lin An. The two chatted while walking towards Zhenwu City.

The street was crowded with people. Lin Chen and Lin An chose a nice-looking restaurant and walked in.

After ordering good dishes and good wine, the two had a long and free talk.

From Lin An, Lin Chen learned that since the clan competition at the end of last year, Lin An followed his master to Yanyan Country, south of Yannan Territory, where the master and apprentice actually worked together to wipe out a gang of thieves, which was a great reputation in Yanyan Country.

When Lin An learned that Lin Chen was now an inner disciple of Tianji Sect, he was also shocked, and then he was happy for Lin Chen's progress.

After lunch, Lin Chen and Lin An walked out of the restaurant and walked slowly on the street.

However, not long after walking, a group of people suddenly came from the end of the street.

Among this group of people were Lin Tai, Lin Zong and Lin Yun. When Lin Tai saw Lin Chen, his eyes suddenly became a little resentful, gritting his teeth, and he wanted to teach Lin Chen a lesson immediately. However, when he thought of being slapped away by Lin Chen before, he couldn't help but stop, just standing there and looking at Lin Chen angrily.

Lin Chen was also slightly stunned when he saw this group of people. He came out for a walk, but he didn't expect to meet Lin Tai and others.

"Lin Chen, are these bastards bothering you again?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lin An suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

When he was a child, Lin Chen was often bullied by Lin Tai and his group, and Lin An often helped him. In the end, Lin An was often bullied by these people, so Lin An had no good feelings towards Lin Tai and his group.

At this moment, when he saw Lin Tai staring at Lin Chen angrily, although Lin An was a little surprised why Lin Tai was angry, he still thought that Lin Tai was looking for trouble with Lin Chen.
