Hearing both senior brothers pleading with Hong Lan, the delicate girl also stepped forward at this mont, extending her jade-like hand to pull at Hong Lan and spoke.
Upon hearing their words, Hong Lan furrowed her brows deeply and gazed intently at the frail girl. Never had she imagined that even her little junior sister would, like the two senior brothers, oppose her ideas and speak in favor of Lin Chen.
"You... you all bully ."
As Hong Lan spoke, tears began to stream from her eyes. She hadn’t expected that her senior brothers and sister would all side with an outsider.
anwhile, as countless martial artists tested their talents on the stone stele, Lin Chen watched as two figures extended their hands and placed them on the stone stele.
"Zhao Zhongtian, cultivation at the seventh level of the Reverting Void Realm, superior aptitude, score eighty-nine."
"Zhao Zhongchuan, cultivation at the peak of the Heaven-reaching Realm, top-tier aptitude, score ninety-five."
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the light and shadow characters above the distant figures’ heads, his lips curling into a smile, seemingly contemplating so plan.
The test results of Zhao’s father and son were all within Lin Chen’s expectations, with Zhao Zhongchuan’s score far surpassing the more powerful Zhao Zhongtian.
After all, these scores were based on cultivation and talent rather than higher cultivation equating to higher scores. It seed that the scores were generated by so active formation operation, reflecting the potential of the martial artists being tested.
The higher the score, the greater the potential, and subsequently, the elders of the Formation Sect would pay more attention to martial artists with high scores.
"Brother Lin is very interested in Zhao’s people?"
Qin Kaifeng didn’t ddle in the affairs of Zhao and Chu families, but that didn’t an he was unaware of their situations.
Seeing Lin Chen’s attention on Zhao Zhongtian and Zhao Zhongchuan, Qin Kaifeng asked curiously.
"Heh, just so old grudges," Lin Chen replied, looking back at Qin Kaifeng with a faint smile.
Though Lin Chen held a grudge against the Zhao Family, he didn’t really take it to heart, given his characteristic approach of confronting challenges directly. Overthinking was pointless.
However, Lin Chen could affirm that he and the Zhao Family would inevitably reach a definitive conclusion, and the Zhao father and son must die.
It would be best to resolve this matter within the Formation Sect; otherwise, it might bring trouble back to the Jade Cauldron Sect, jeopardizing the safety of Xu Lianyu and others within the sect.
"I see."
"The Zhao Family has so influence in the Formation Sect’s Outer Sect; they are not easy to deal with. Be careful when dealing with them," Qin Kaifeng lightly reminded Lin Chen after hearing his words.
At that mont, the Zhao Family patriarch saw the scores of Zhao Zhongtian and Zhao Zhongchuan and couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.
They joined the Formation Sect years ago, and although they only took root in the Outer Sect, establishing their own power within the Outer Sect was quite impressive in the Eastern Domain.
Despite the Zhao Family’s influence being limited to the Outer Sect, their power held a significant position within the Inner Sect as well.
Even the elders of the Formation Sect had to show so courtesy to the Zhao Family.
Now, even though Zhao’s influence in Divine Sun City was gone, the arrival of Zhao Zhongtian and Zhao Zhongchuan at the Formation Sect, with their talents, ant they were destined to beco Inner Sect Disciples.
In ti, the Zhao Family would gradually root themselves deeper into the Formation Sect’s Inner Sect, and their status within the sect was bound to rise even higher.
However, at this mont, the Chu Family felt their expressions change drastically upon seeing the powerful talents of the Zhao father and son who had just arrived at the Formation Sect, with one at the cultivation of the Reverting Void Realm, and none could feel happy about it.
"There are such strong talents within the Zhao Family, and we never heard of them before."
"It’s said that they arrived at the Formation Sect not long ago, having previously been in Divine Sun City, near the gap between the Southern and Northern Regions."
"With these two in the Zhao Family, their strength and status within the Formation Sect will surely rise rapidly, and the balanced situation among the three families in the Outer Sect may be disrupted."
Tang Yuntian, Tang Yunshan, and Tang Yunfei had very unsightly expressions at that mont. Although the three families were equally powerful within the Formation Sect’s Outer Sect, they, as Outer Sect Elders, tended to skew so benefits of the sect towards the Tang Family, which was very advantageous for the family’s developnt.
After all, they were Outer Sect Elders in charge of all affairs.
However, the ergence of Zhao Zhongtian and Zhao Zhongchuan from the Zhao Family would probably disrupt this balance before long, even threatening their positions within the Outer Sect.
In the worst case, even replacing the Outer Sect Elders was a possibility.
Thinking of this, not only the Chu Family but also the Tang Family started to feel unrest about the Zhao Family.
Yet, despite their displeasure, they dared not cause trouble at this assembly.
The Formation Sect has very severe penalties for harming sect prodigies in secret. Although Zhao Zhongtian and Zhao Zhongchuan couldn’t yet be considered true disciples of the Formation Sect, they were already participating in the competition. Should any mishaps occur, the Formation Sect would undoubtedly investigate thoroughly.
This was also why the Zhao Family did not dare to act rashly against Lin Chen after he arrived at the Formation Sect.
At this mont, as the results of everyone’s tests on the stele were revealed, the three elders of the Tang Family followed the rules of the Outer Sect by asking those who scored below fifty to leave, perhaps choosing to join the War Departnt and continue with further competitions and testing.
This second round of testing eliminated nearly thirty percent of the martial artists, leaving just over a hundred thousand remaining.
The eliminated participants were allowed to stay within the Formation Sect’s area, leaving gradually over the remaining month, as the Formation Sect wouldn’t expel them.
However, if they didn’t leave after a month, the Formation Sect would then proceed with expulsion.
And for a long ti, no one has dared to stay for a month without leaving, as the Formation Sect’s thod of expulsion is far from gentle.
At that mont, a woman in a fiery red dress with bare feet slowly approached the stele under the watchful eyes of many, raising her hand to conduct her test.
"It’s that princess from Yanwu Country. I wonder what her score will be."
Many were secretly looking forward to it, after all, this Little Princess from Yanwu Country possessed quite a nefarious reputation.
Lin Chen was also very interested, sensing that the physique of Yanwu Country’s princess was rather extraordinary.
