Chapter 1546: Chapter 1546: Concealing Strength
The crowd’s breathing was heavy, and Lin Chen’s combat prowess could only be described as "abnormal".
After defeating the Spiritual Puppet of Earth-Level Mid-Grade, Lin Chen did not intend to end the challenge but continued to battle with the Spiritual Puppet of Upper Earth Grade.
However, this time, Lin Chen’s battle with the Spiritual Puppet was not so easy.
Previously, Lin Chen had not used any Martial Arts Skills in his battles with the Spiritual Puppets; he relied purely on physical strength.
Once Lin Chen employed Martial Arts Skills, he quickly defeated the Spiritual Puppet of Upper Earth Grade. As a result, Lin Chen’s ranking on the Combat Power Ranking climbed over ten thousand positions, reaching 75,112th place.
Seeing Lin Chen achieve such a feat revealed that Lin Chen’s aptitude in the Martial Path far exceeded Yun Kaige’s.
Although Yun Kaige was extremely reluctant to accept this result, the facts were undeniable. Not accepting them would only make him appear self-deceptive.
Looking at Lin Chen with a gaze full of cold killing intent, Yun Kaige didn’t expect to be outdone by such a country bumpkin.
Yun Kaige secretly decided in his heart to kill Lin Chen. Even if he couldn’t do it within these ruins, he would definitely use the power of the Yunlong Country Royal Family to eliminate Lin Chen after leaving.
Lin Chen’s talent was overwhelmingly strong, completely crushing Yun Kaige and making him no longer the Heavenly Pride.
In front of Lin Chen’s talent, he was insignificant.
Such a formidable opponent had to be eradicated.
The proud-hearted Yun Kaige was determined to become the first Heavenly Pride of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, so he could not allow such a threatening person to live.
Feeling the intense killing intent emanating from Yun Kaige, Lin Chen couldn’t help but look at him, his eyes narrowing slightly. Yun Kaige wanted to kill Lin Chen, and Lin Chen had the same thought.
With someone so narrow-minded, once he targets you as an enemy, Yun Kaige will not stop until you’re eliminated.
Such a threat must be dealt with by Lin Chen.
Lin Chen had secretly decided to find a way to eliminate Yun Kaige in these ruins because it would be much harder after leaving them.
As Lin Chen defeated the Spiritual Puppet of the Earth-Level Upper Grade, the stele emitted another ray of golden light, condensing into a Supreme Earth-Level Spiritual Puppet.
Seeing this, Lin Chen continued to engage in battle. This time, Lin Chen not only used Martial Arts Skills but also employed his best swordsmanship, although he didn’t use the Sword Array.
After nearly a hundred exchanges, Lin Chen finally narrowly defeated the Supreme Earth-Level Spiritual Puppet, and his ranking on the Combat Power Ranking soared again to 51,126th place.
Looking at his current ranking, Lin Chen was utterly shocked.
Lin Chen’s current power was already quite extraordinary, even without using some of his trump cards like the Sword Array.
Yet, even so, Lin Chen’s combat prowess was still outside the top fifty thousand.
This meant that among the Seventh Level of Nirvana Realm, over fifty thousand people in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds had stronger combat power than Lin Chen.
This made Lin Chen realize his weakness, indicating there were still many areas to improve.
After Lin Chen defeated the Supreme Earth-Level combat power Spiritual Puppet, the stele emitted more light, forming a Heavenly Level Lower Grade Puppet. This Heavenly Level Lower Grade Puppet’s cultivation realm was not the same as Lin Chen’s Seventh Level of Nirvana Realm but rather the Ninth Layer of Nirvana Realm.
Seeing this, Lin Chen furrowed his brow.
"Dragon Fang, what is going on here? Weren’t the previous Spiritual Puppets supposed to match my cultivation level? Is this Combat Power Ranking test really about challenging beyond one’s level?"
Lin Chen pondered internally.
"That’s because you’ve already defeated all the Spiritual Puppets of Earth-Level combat power. Next up are the Heavenly Level combat power Spiritual Puppets. However, the Heavenly Pride with Heavenly Level combat power is extremely rare across the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, let alone creating such powerful Spiritual Puppets. So in order to assess you, the Combat Power Stele before you has condensed a Spiritual Puppet with a cultivation level higher than yours,"
Dragon Fang explained calmly.
Hearing this, Lin Chen immediately understood.
Looking at the Heavenly Level combat power Spiritual Puppet, Lin Chen was somewhat tense, not daring to underestimate it.
After all, such a powerful Spiritual Puppet had extraordinary strength, and Lin Chen wanted to test his combat power limits.
Immediately, Lin Chen brandished his Sharp Sword and engaged in battle with the Heavenly Level combat power Spiritual Puppet.
Facing Lin Chen’s proactive attack, the Heavenly Level combat power Spiritual Puppet didn’t use any weapons. Instead, it swung a fist directly at Lin Chen.
Boom——
The Heavenly Level combat power Spiritual Puppet’s fist collided with Lin Chen’s Sharp Sword. Instantly, Lin Chen felt an overwhelming force, sending him flying dozens of feet, his arm holding the sword going numb.
"What terrifying power. No wonder it’s a Spiritual Puppet with Heavenly Level Lower Grade combat power,"
Lin Chen marveled internally.
Though surprised, Lin Chen was not afraid and immediately attacked the Spiritual Puppet again.
This time, Lin Chen unhesitatingly used his Sword Techniques, although he still didn’t employ the Sword Array.
Even so, Lin Chen showcased 70 to 80 percent of his combat power.
As the battle progressed, after nearly a thousand exchanges, Lin Chen was about to win.
"Lin Chen, I advise you not to show off and defeat this Heavenly Level Lower Grade Spiritual Puppet. The Combat Power Ranking of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds is interconnected. If you defeat this Heavenly Level combat power Puppet now, your name will appear on the Combat Power Stele, attracting their attention, which is not a good thing for you,"
Just as Lin Chen was about to defeat the Heavenly Level combat power Puppet, Dragon Fang’s reminder suddenly came.
Hearing Dragon Fang’s reminder, Lin Chen suddenly realized and agreed, not defeating the Heavenly Level combat power Puppet.
In the heat of the battle, Lin Chen had almost forgotten such an important matter.
Regardless of whether the Combat Power Stele before him was interconnected with the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, Lin Chen didn’t want to overly expose his strength, as it would attract undue attention and inevitably bring endless trouble.
Since learning about the world’s circumstances from Dragon Fang, Lin Chen realized how insignificant he was. Forget about the mighty figures of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds; even in front of the powerful of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, Lin Chen was like an ant.
