Lin Chen heard the words and just smiled lightly, without getting angry. After all, on the surface, his cultivation was indeed only at the seventh level of a Spiritual Practitioner. Moreover, the man's tone was polite and didn't bully him because of his divine-level cultivation.
So Lin Chen looked at that man, then his aura condensed, and the pinnacle aura of a seventh-level Spiritual Practitioner was unleashed without reservation, and then he punched directly at the man!
"So fast!?"
The man was sowhat surprised that Lin Chen attacked without a word, but after all, with his divine level, he reacted quickly and raised his palm in a blocking gesture.
In the man's eyes, it was clear that Lin Chen bore no killing intent, just purely attacked him to show his true strength.
Thus, the man was rather expectant, for Lin Chen's confidence surely ant he had actual skill!
Instantly, Lin Chen's fist pounded heavily onto the man's broad palm.
"Bang!"
A sound of bodily impact was heard, and Lin Chen and the man both froze at that mont. Then, Lin Chen slowly released his fist and looked calmly at the man.
The man's eyes flickered, then he smiled and said:
"Young man, you are quite sothing! You may appear to have the strength of a seventh-level Spiritual Practitioner, but the power you burst out compares to the eighth level, even not much weaker than the ninth!"
Lin Chen just smiled faintly at these words. His punch seed simple but almost used all his physical strength, infused with a hint of divine energy, making the power of one punch indeed not weaker than that of a ninth-level Martial Artist!
The others showed doubtful expressions upon seeing this, and the woman directly said:
"Uncle Tie! Are you joking? How can soone at the seventh level have ninth-level power? Isn't this guy tricking us?"
Saying so, the woman looked suspiciously at Lin Chen, as if he were a cheater. The two other n didn't speak, but their eyes showed they also didn't fully believe Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen said nothing, rely looking calmly at the man. If the man denied it too, he would just turn and leave.
The middle-aged man furrowed his brow and said to the woman:
"Xiao Lian! Do not be rude! This young brother is a rare talent! Though his realm is similar to yours, both at the seventh level, his strength really rivals the ninth level, much stronger than you!"
The young, beautiful woman, Xiao Lian, frowned upon hearing this, about to say sothing more, but the man laughed and turned to Lin Chen, saying:
"Young brother! Congratulations on passing; you can join our team!"
"Uncle Tie!"
Xiao Lian pouted a bit more, wanting to protest, but one look from the man made her don a wronged expression, remain silent, yet her gaze at Lin Chen was filled with anger.
The man continued:
"Young brother, since we're already one of us, let
introduce us simply! I'm Mu Tie, the captain of our Mu Tie rcenary Group! And this is Lian'er, the daughter of an old friend of mine, and this is Shi Hao, this is An Yanshan. You are about the sa age, except for Xiao Lian, henceforth call each other brothers!"
Seeing Mu Tie's enthusiasm, Lin Chen cupped his hands to everyone and said:
"Uncle Mu Tie, Brother Shi, Brother An, Xiao Lian, I'm Lin Chen. From now on, we're all together. If I do anything wrong, I hope you all bear with !"
Since Mu Tie was so welcoming and introduced everyone to him, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't be impolite. After a few words, Shi Hao and An Yanshan, who initially looked displeased at Lin Chen, held no more grudges; only Xiao Lian remained with cheeks puffed in anger, seemingly as if Lin Chen owed her a great deal of money.
Mu Tie laughed heartily seeing this and said:
"Haha! Lin Chen, right? We'll be doing tasks together these days, so no need to be strangers. Xiao Lian has that temperant; don't bla her."
Ignoring Xiao Lian's teeth-gritting expression, Mu Tie continued:
"By the way, Lin Chen, let
tell you about our mission! This ti, our mission is both easy and difficult. Mainly, we shall find three stalks of Fengguan Grass at the periphery of the Magical Beast Mountain Range! Though it sounds easy, don't relax, for I know that there might be a kind of magical beast nearby, the Shadow Cat!"
"You must know, the Shadow Cat's strength has reached the divine level, a formidable existence for us, so don't underestimate it!"
Lin Chen nodded, indicating his understanding.
Then Mu Tie looked at the sky, turned to the three, and said:
"Today it's already late, so tomorrow morning, at dawn, we'll gather here again. Go back and pack so things, and then we'll set off together!"
Then, Mu Tie asked Lin Chen:
"Lin Chen, do you have a place to stay tonight? Why not stay with us?"
Lin Chen replied:
"No, I have my own place and so things to sort out!"
Mu Tie was not surprised, nodded, and said:
"Alright then! Everyone, go rest and recharge, we'll depart tomorrow!"
Then, under Xiao Lian's resentful gaze, Lin Chen left.
Only then did Mu Tie extend his hand, to find a red fist-like mark on his palm, murmuring softly:
"This Lin Chen, really has so strength!"
It turned out, at the start of the duel with Lin Chen, Mu Tie relied purely on his divine-level first-rank cultivation, without even mobilizing divine energy, simply using physical strength to withstand Lin Chen's attack, thinking how strong could a seventh-level Martial Artist be? It resulted in a not-too-small loss for him.
That night, Lin Chen still found a place to stay in Nanping County City. He spent a night training in silence, until when dawn broke, Lin Chen stepped out of his room.
By then, the sky was bright. Lin Chen, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them to see Mu Tie and the four others arriving before him.
"Haha! Lin Chen, been waiting long?"
Mu Tie said smilingly.
Lin Chen rely shook his head, replying calmly:
"Not at all, I just arrived too!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Mu Tie looked at the Magical Beast Mountain Range, waved his large hand, and said:
"Alright! Then let's set off! This mission will surely be accomplished smoothly!"
