Later, Lin Chen and Li Ping t up, and then they found the two sisters, Zhao Xiaohua and Zhao Xiaowen, again.
Zhao Xiaowen looked at Lin Chen with admiration, her eyes seed to sparkle like little stars, and she exclaid:
"Big Brother Lin Chen, you're amazing! You managed to defeat so many experts, even the Demon Fla Black Armored Bear was defeated by you, which is a half-step divine-level beast!"
Zhao Xiaohua smiled slightly upon hearing this and said:
"Alright, Xiaowen, Big Brother Lin Chen must be tired too, so just say a few less words. Congratulations, Big Brother Lin Chen, on taking first place. You know, getting first place after just over a month of joining is unprecedented!"
Lin Chen looked at the two of them, knowing that the sisters were genuinely happy for him, so he smiled and said:
"Haha, I was just lucky. If you two had participated, you might not have done worse than !"
"Oh, Big Brother Lin Chen, stop joking. If I had your skills, my sister wouldn't be scolding
every day!"
Hearing this, Lin Chen and Zhao Xiaohua exchanged smiles. After chatting for a while longer with Li Ping and the Zhao sisters, they decided to go to Sky Sword City for a big al, partly to celebrate and partly as a farewell dinner for the Zhao sisters.
And upon hearing about the al, Zhao Xiaowen cheerfully led the way, her adorable deanor prompted a round of laughter from the group. Soon they headed towards Sky Sword City with smiles and laughter along the way.
This ti, the four of them didn't face any obstacles and no one ca to provoke them. In the anti, Lin Chen seed to beco sowhat of a renowned figure, as people occasionally shot curious glances their way during the al, wanting to see who this first-place, god-tier fifth-level person was.
After the al, the four of them strolled around Sky Sword City, and Lin Chen purchased so elixirs, as his storage ring was running low on them. Then he reluctantly bid farewell to the Zhao sisters. After watching them leave, Lin Chen and Li Ping didn't linger any longer and headed back to Sky Sword Pavilion.
"Alright, Brother Lin Chen, you should head back, I need to return to cultivate as well. Otherwise, I won't dare to be in the company of soone as skilled as you next ti!"
"You rascal! Hurry back and cultivate!"
Lin Chen laughed and gave him a punch on the shoulder, knowing that Li Ping ant no harm and sincerely considered Lin Chen a good friend.
"Hmm, I'll head back first then! Let's do a task together soti!"
Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this, and then Li Ping left.
Lin Chen watched his disappearing figure, pondered for a mont, then headed straight for the Elder's Pavilion.
He rembered that the Sword Bone Elder had ntioned finding him afterward because sothing good was waiting for him.
Along the way, many recognized Lin Chen. It was known that Lin Chen was now a prominent figure among the outer sect, even the top five of the outer sect had been overshadowed by him. Rumors about him as a Sword Dao genius, level-defying combat fanatic, and other titles spread, making Lin Chen feel a bit at a loss.
The Sky Sword Pavilion was large, but Lin Chen quickly reached the Elder's Pavilion at his speed.
Before him stood a magnificent building, practically a palace.
At the entrance were two individuals who looked like attendants, and Lin Chen walked up to them, then saluted and said:
"To both of you, Disciple Lin Chen wishes to see the Sword Bone Elder!"
"Hmm? You're the famous Lin Chen causing a stir recently?"
One of the attendants glanced at Lin Chen curiously before saying:
"Wait a mont, I'll notify the Sword Bone Elder!"
The attendant took out a token that appeared much more sophisticated than Lin Chen's and, after saying sothing, turned to Lin Chen again and said:
"You can wait here for a mont, the Sword Bone Elder will be here soon!"
"Alright, thanks to both of you!"
Lin Chen politely responded, then closed his eyes to rest.
It wasn't long before a familiar hearty laughter was heard:
"Hahaha! Lin Chen, it's really you. You've made quite a splash this ti!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen opened his eyes to see the Sword Bone approaching him.
The two attendants bowed respectfully to the Sword Bone, but the Sword Bone only gave them a slight nod, not paying them any heed, and headed straight for Lin Chen, placing a coarse hand on Lin Chen's shoulder, his eyes filled with appreciation.
Lin Chen smiled slightly and said:
"Elder, you flatter . I was just a bit luckier, that's all!"
"Hahaha! If your kind of strength is considered just luck, then there are no truly skilled people in the world!"
"Elder, please stop teasing . There's still much room for improvent in my abilities!"
Lin Chen felt a bit helpless, as the Sword Bone kept praising him upon eting. It made him sowhat at a loss.
However, the Sword Bone soon got to the point:
"Haha, that's true! I called you here because there's an opportunity for you! Even though your strength is at the god-tier fifth level, it's still quite low! We could award you treasures or elixirs to directly boost your cultivation, but such thods wouldn't benefit your future cultivation greatly!"
"Speaking of which, you really are a freak. With god-tier fifth level, you have such extraordinary combat power, even slaying Ning Yan of god-tier ninth level with a single sword! Although there's the addition of Sword Intent, your sword technique must be sothing else, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly. Sword Bone's praise was one thing, but why was he interested in his sword technique? Tianyan Nine Styles was one of his greatest secrets and wouldn't be revealed to others.
Seeing this, the Sword Bone patted his forehead and said:
"Oh dear, Lin Chen, don't mind —I'm not investigating your secrets. Whatever skills you have are your own, we won't pry, rest assured of that!"
Lin Chen knew the character of the Sword Bone and felt his sincerity, so he nodded to indicate that he didn't mind. Then the Sword Bone continued:
"In this competition, you've brought honor to our Sky Sword Pavilion! Therefore, our sect has decided to reward you! After much consideration, there's a treasure that suits you particularly. Co with !"
"Perfectly suited for ?"
Lin Chen was a bit surprised to hear this, but still followed the Sword Bone. The Sword Bone led Lin Chen on a Sword Flight for quite so ti before arriving at a circular building.
