When Reason Fails, Fists Work Too—Martial Arts University No. 7!

A request?

Teacher Zhou paused in surprise, then nodded.

"Lin Chen, go ahead..."

Lin Chen smiled faintly.

Then he whispered a few words into Lin Jia's ear.

Afterward, he sighed.

"Lin Jia still doesn't know about these things. I've always told her this house was rented, so I hope Teacher Zhou..."

"I understand your good intentions," Teacher Zhou nodded. "You're right to do this. Huge sums of money can make people lose their way. I agree to this request!"

Lin Chen nodded.

Seeing Teacher Zhou agree,

he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to offer a few words of thanks,

Lin Jia came out.

"Brother, I've made my choice!"

"Which university?" Teacher Zhou asked expectantly.

"Tell Teacher Zhou," Lin Chen said with a smile.

"University No. 7! I like their motto!" Lin Jia clenched her little fists.

Their motto?

Teacher Zhou froze for a moment, then smiled.

"Lin Jia, I didn't expect someone who looks as gentle as you to have such a temperament. Not bad!"

What was University No. 7's motto?

Lin Chen's eyes filled with confusion.

Then Teacher Zhou suggested again.

"Lin Chen, Dean Wen Zixuan promised that Lin Jia could skip the Martial Arts Examination. What do you think?"

"The Martial Arts Examination only comes once in a lifetime." Lin Chen shook his head slightly. "My suggestion is that Lin Jia should still take it!"

"Brother, that's what I think too!" Lin Jia said happily.

"Good!" Teacher Zhou nodded. "Since it's decided, I'll be leaving!"

Lin Chen nodded and stepped forward to see him out.

Only after escorting him out of the residential complex

did he turn back.

Lin Jia and Zhong Lili were watching television.

They were only four years apart in age, no different from sisters.

The newly eighteen-year-old Lin Chen entered the room and coughed.

"Lin Jia, Teacher Zhou said the Martial Arts Examination is extremely important, so you need to take more Qi-Gathering Pills these next two days, understand?"

"Okay! Got it, Brother!" Lin Jia said with a slight smile.

"What exactly is University No. 7's motto?" Lin Chen asked again.

"You don't know?" Zhong Lili turned around and asked.

Lin Chen shook his head slightly.

Come to think of it, he really did not know.

"Brother, University No. 7's motto is..." Lin Jia clenched her little fists.

"If reasoning doesn't work, then using your fists is fine too!"

Lin Chen: "..."

His eyes full of surprise, he could not help giving a thumbs-up.

I have to visit Martial Arts University No. 7 when I get the chance!

After all, anyone who could write a motto like that had to be formidable, right?

"Alright, don't wait for me for dinner." Lin Chen stretched lazily. "The company has something for me to handle, so I'm heading out!"

"Okay, Brother." Lin Jia waved. "Be careful at work!"

Meanwhile, at the Martial Artist Training Ground,

Xiaoyu glanced at Room 5201.

Her expression was complicated.

After she sent the training replay to her grandfather,

his response had been that she had to find out this person's identity.

"Will he come tonight..."

Muttering to herself, Xiaoyu sighed.

She glanced at the time.

13:00!

There were less than six hours left

until that guy arrived!

Xiaoyu braced herself and gritted her teeth.

Then she continued waiting in silence!

Inside the 0914 Danger Zone.

[ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x12, Qi-Blood Value +12 ]

[ Ding! Used God-Slaying Strike x2, Proficiency +1 ]

Hearing the notifications by his ear,

Lin Chen put away the Demon Blade in his hand.

God-Slaying Strike was only at the beginner level,

yet its power was already comparable to Mad Demon Slash at great mastery!

If it reached minor mastery, its power should rival Mad Demon Slash at perfection!

As expected of God-Slaying Strike, a technique close to a Second-Level Martial Technique!

Quite satisfied with its power, Lin Chen smiled.

Then he continued forward.

This time, his target was still the depths of the 0914 Danger Zone.

There were more Second-Level and Third-Level Demon Beasts inside!

Thinking this,

Lin Chen quickened his pace.

Whenever he encountered scattered Demon Beasts along the way,

he almost always took them out with a single ordinary slash!

It was not until he reached the depths of the danger zone

that Lin Chen finally became serious.

Almost every Demon Beast he encountered was Third-Level!

And there were huge numbers of them, appearing in groups!

Like a hungry wolf encountering a flock of sheep,

Lin Chen wielded the Demon Blade and slaughtered his way through them!

Wherever his blade pointed, bloody flowers bloomed one after another!

The pungent stench of blood spread continuously through the air!

[ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x251, Qi-Blood Value +251 ]

[ Ding! Used God-Slaying Strike x12, Proficiency +12 ]

[ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x58, Qi-Blood Value +58 ]

[ Ding! Used God-Slaying Strike x6, Proficiency +6 ]

The ringing notifications never ceased.

Covered in blood from head to toe, Lin Chen was like an Asura from hell.

He kept swinging his blade and slaughtering!

The Third-Level Demon Beasts before him were beheaded the instant they came into contact with his blade!

Under the mad slaughter,

even the vicious, ferocious Third-Level Demon Beasts were terrified and scattered in all directions!

[ Ding! Killed Third-Level Demon Beasts x546, Qi-Blood Value +546 ]

[ Ding! Used God-Slaying Strike x28, Proficiency +28! ]

After killing the last Third-Level Demon Beast,

Lin Chen finally stopped!

Feeling his Qi-Blood surge wildly, an astonishing killing intent erupted from his body!

With a casual wave of his hand, a panel appeared before him.

[ Name: Lin Chen! ]

[ Age: 18! ]

[ Specialty: 18 cm! ]

[ Realm: Three-Star Martial Artist! ]

[ Qi-Blood Value: 4560/5000! ]

[ Martial Techniques: Mad Demon Slash! (Perfection) Gale Shadowstep! (Minor Mastery) Wrathful Vajra (Minor Mastery!) God-Slaying Strike! (Beginner) Sky-Rending Slash! (Beginner!) (Beginner, Minor Mastery, Great Mastery, Perfection!) ]

His Qi-Blood Value had surged from 3044 to 4560!

He was only half a step away from becoming a Four-Star Martial Artist!

Excited, Lin Chen shook his head slightly and put away the panel.

Just as he was about to continue slaughtering Demon Beasts to break through to Four-Star Martial Artist,

the ground around him suddenly began to tremble faintly.

It was like an earthquake.

The surrounding ruins and abandoned buildings began swaying continuously as well!

Lin Chen's instincts told him

danger was approaching!

As he surveyed his surroundings,

an earthshaking roar suddenly rang out!

The space before Lin Chen abruptly plunged into darkness!

Stunned, he suddenly looked up!

Behind several thirty-meter-tall abandoned buildings ahead of him,

a colossal creature quietly emerged!

A Fifth-Level Demon Beast—the Raging Demon Ape!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Chen shot forward!

The Black Tungsten Battle Armor instantly covered his body!

Against a Fifth-Level Demon Beast, he did not stand even the slightest chance!

There was only one path left to him!

Run!

Sure enough!

Seeing this, the Fifth-Level Raging Demon Ape immediately let out a roar!

It smelled the blood of its offspring on this tiny human!

Enraged beyond measure, it immediately gave chase at top speed!

One in front and one behind, the two constantly raced through the depths of the 0914 Danger Zone!

The abandoned high-rises they passed along the way

collapsed one after another as though mountains were toppling and seas overturning!

Dust filled the sky!

Lin Chen, transformed into a black cannonball, sped wildly onward!

"Holy shit! A Fifth-Level Raging Demon Ape! Is this guy insane? He actually provoked that thing!"

"Run! Stop fucking talking!"

Seeing this, several hunting squads along the way

immediately fled with him without another word!

Under Lin Chen's lead,

a group of dozens formed in no time!

And the Fifth-Level Raging Demon Ape behind them only grew faster and faster...
