"What?"
"Did I... did I just hear that right? He actually said to wait a moment..."
"A breakthrough?"
"I heard it too..."
Everyone around was stunned. Whether they were onlookers or those with hostile intentions, they were all shocked by Lin Chuan's words.
A moment of silence suddenly fell.
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal was also taken aback, not even reacting to reply, as he also felt a bit bewildered at that moment.
But then, seeing Lin Chuan sit down cross-legged, floating in mid-air, he understood everything.
"Hahahaha..."
"What a joke! Do you think you can break through just because you want to?"
"Stop putting on a show. I never expected a personal disciple to be someone who just pretends like this. It's truly disappointing."
"Is this your explanation?"
Chang'er Dingguang Immortal laughed wantonly, as if he wanted everyone to know how ridiculous this was.
At the same time.
Everyone else was also slightly stunned, then slowly began to understand.
Extremely strange expressions appeared on their faces.
This was indeed unexpected.
Those who reacted first were the ones filled with hostility, their lips gradually curling into a mocking smile.
Of course, some people, even outer disciples, were now also mocking him without restraint.
"So this is a personal disciple? Amazing, saying he'll break through whenever he wants. It's simply unheard of."
"Does that mean he'll become the greatest in the Great Desolation?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
"Incredible, truly incredible!"
"We need to get away from here. Otherwise, we might get caught in the crossfire and become cannon fodder."
One cold remark after another, words that could ignite anyone's anger.
Most of the onlookers were also a bit at a loss at this moment. Although they felt it was a bit unrealistic.
They all remained silent.
They didn't speak, but the expressions on their faces basically showed that they also found this whole situation too absurd.
Wanting to break through and actually breaking through?
How was that possible?
It was a joke. If one could truly break through just by wanting to, the Great Desolation would have been in chaos long ago. Moreover, breakthroughs usually happened spontaneously.
If one deliberately tried, it wasn't guaranteed they could break through.
Therefore, the expressions on everyone's faces were very strange. They didn't speak, just watched quietly.
Only those filled with hostility were now making sarcastic remarks, even mocking him from time to time. Furthermore, they felt that once this matter spread.
Lin Chuan's position as a personal disciple might truly be lost!
After all, he wasn't serious at all and his actions would damage the Sect of Interception's reputation.
With such behavior, how could Sect Master Tongtian possibly let him remain a personal disciple?
This made many people extremely excited, especially those who were jealous. In their eyes, Lin Chuan was originally just an outer disciple, on par with them, or even lower.
Now he had soared to the heavens, which made them extremely displeased.
Now Lin Chuan was digging his own grave.
This was akin to burying himself, which made them feel extremely pleased.
A smile appeared on Chang'er Dingguang Immortal's lips.
"He's just digging his own grave. If he had followed the proper procedure, at most he would have lost face, but it wouldn't have led to such a crisis."
"But since you're digging your own grave, we don't mind lending you a hand!"
He had already made up his mind. He then began to spread the news from here, even mobilizing many people, making the entire Golden Ao Island aware of it.
Lin Chuan's words!
Instantly.
A huge storm was formed.
After all, no one expected that someone could break through just by saying so, and even do so in full view of everyone.
How much confidence did that require?
Smart individuals were able to glean the information they desired from this. Lin Chuan actually said that Grand Unity Golden Immortals were nothing special, and this was in addition to his previous spar with Zhao Gongming.
He hadn't revealed his true strength then, yet the power he displayed was already formidable.
From this, one could observe!
Grand Unity Golden Immortals and above...
And now he claimed he could break through whenever he wished. This was undoubtedly a massive shock to everyone, who then began to flock towards the main gate.
Truly, no one wanted to miss this grand spectacle.
Whether they were outer disciples or inner disciples...
Even the personal disciples had heard the news.
When Daoist Duobao heard it, he was stunned on the spot, a look of astonishment on his face.
"Did Junior Brother really say that?"
An outer disciple nodded vigorously, speaking with great urgency, "Senior Brother Lin really did say that, and it's already the talk of the town. I reckon many people are already gathered to watch."
"If... if Senior Brother Lin doesn't succeed, then perhaps..."
This outer disciple hesitated for a moment. It went without saying that if he made such a bold claim and ultimately failed, he would inevitably become the subject of gossip.
And if the matter reached their Master's ears.
Things would be terrible.
Daoist Duobao fell silent for a moment. Although he found the idea utterly absurd, he didn't hold much prejudice against others.
Even Lin Chuan, despite how surprisingly and inexplicably he became a personal disciple, he always believed that their Master had his reasons for such decisions.
There was no need to say more!
But now that something like this had happened, as the chief disciple, he absolutely could not miss it and had to go stop it personally.
They absolutely could not allow a major mistake to happen!
"Let's go!"
Daoist Duobao immediately departed.
At this moment, many disciples of the Sect of Interception had already gathered. It could be said that it was incredibly lively, even more attention-grabbing than his previous spar with Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming looked at the crowd around him, then glanced at Senior Brother Lin beside him, his expression exceptionally solemn.
He was merely an inner disciple, and his strength wasn't particularly impressive.
He had only just broken through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
If a conflict were to erupt now, he didn't believe he could truly withstand so many powerful individuals.
Especially with so many people gathered!
It made him feel a tremor of fear, an uncommon emotion for him. But facing so many disciples of the Sect of Interception, even with his strength, he was flustered.
One by one, powerful auras descended.
The visual impact of this sensation was too intense; his expression was barely controllable.
