Just Grind! Xiaoyu's Mentality Collapsed!

Lin Chen casually ate a few bites.

Then he headed straight to the quiet room on the second underground level.

Ordinary food simply could not satisfy his appetite.

With a casual wave of his hand.

A grill, Fifth-Level Demon Beast meat, and chilled beer appeared on the table.

Lin Chen, setting up a private feast, smiled faintly.

Then he began grilling the meat, ready to feast to his heart's content!

Inside a secret chamber somewhere within the Warrior Association.

Xiaoyu, who had been meditating cross-legged, slowly opened her eyes.

She glanced at the time and inexplicably felt uneasy!

"That guy isn't coming again tonight, is he?"

Muttering to herself, Xiaoyu let out a sigh.

Then she closed her eyes and resumed cultivating.

But after keeping them closed for a while, she opened them again!

"It can't be that much of a coincidence, right?"

"I go into seclusion and he shows up? He can't be targeting me that specifically, can he?"

Restless, Xiaoyu sighed.

She figured this could not go on.

To stop being affected by that guy.

She immediately activated the chamber's calming mode!

Night fell.

The lights along Tianfu Avenue in Chuan City had just come on.

Men and women walked down the streets, filling the air with the feeling of spring!

Lin Chen, full and satisfied, was no exception.

He made his way to the Martial Artist Training Ground!

He still booked Room 5201!

Then he immediately maxed out the Fourth-Level Demon Beast Hell Mode!

As the room's environment shifted.

The surroundings instantly transformed into dangerous ruins.

Fierce-looking, savage Fourth-Level Demon Beasts swarmed toward him!

Holding the Demon Blade, Lin Chen smiled faintly.

Then he turned into an afterimage and charged forward!

With a raise of his hand!

Golden blade light fell like a curtain of rain!

Everywhere it passed.

Bloody blossoms bloomed one after another!

[ Ding! Used Sky-Rending Slash x1, proficiency +0.2!]

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x1, proficiency +0.2!]

[ Ding! Used Sky-Rending Slash x2, proficiency +0.4!]

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x2, proficiency +0.4!]

The dinging rang endlessly in his ears!

Lin Chen's blade grew faster and faster!

As Shadowless and Tracefree's proficiency increased!

His speed visibly increased as well!

In this state!

Lin Chen gradually went all out!

Mad Demon Slash!

Wrathful Vajra!

God-Slaying Strike!

He even used Gale Shadowstep as well!

Facing the overwhelming tide of Fourth-Level Demon Beasts, like a locust swarm sweeping through!

Lin Chen did not underestimate them in the slightest!

This feeling was practically no different from real combat!

The only difference was flesh and blood versus virtual reality!

[ Ding! Used Sky-Rending Slash x350, proficiency +70!]

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x160, proficiency +32!]

[ Ding! Used Sky-Rending Slash x450, proficiency +90!]

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x240, proficiency +48!]

Once there were no more Demon Beasts in sight.

Lin Chen slowly put away the Demon Blade!

Fourth-Level Demon Beasts were far beyond Third-Level Demon Beasts!

Within three hours.

He had only managed to cut through one Hell-level beast tide!

[ Continue by renewing?]

Lin Chen glanced at the room prompt.

Then directly chose yes!

His goal tonight was to bring Shadowless and Tracefree to the Beginner level!

That would greatly improve his safety when leaving the city tomorrow!

Roars erupted.

Dense swarms of Fourth-Level Demon Beasts emerged from the distant ruins once more!

Seeing this.

Lin Chen instantly transformed into an afterimage and rushed forward!

Compared to before, his speed had increased by an unknown number of times!

At this point, his speed had already surpassed 400 km/h!

With Wrathful Vajra's enhancement!

Lin Chen, like a humanoid meat grinder, simply gave up using the Demon Blade!

He went all-out with Shadowless and Tracefree to rack up proficiency!

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x1, proficiency +0.2!]

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x2, proficiency +0.4!]

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x3, proficiency +0.6!]

[ Ding! Used Shadowless and Tracefree x4, proficiency +0.8!]

The dinging by his ears sounded like beautiful notes!

Lin Chen's speed also grew faster and faster.

That speed had already far surpassed Gale Shadowstep at Mastery!

The surrounding Demon Beasts could not even react.

Before their heads had already fallen to the ground.

And his speed was still skyrocketing:

400 km/h!

450 km/h!

500 km/h!

After reaching 500 km/h!

Shadowless and Tracefree directly reached the Beginner level!

Lin Chen, having stopped, was overjoyed!

As expected of a Level Two movement technique!

Its Beginner-level speed already vastly exceeded Gale Shadowstep at Mastery!

Lin Chen shook his head with a sigh.

He glanced at the completely empty surroundings.

A wave of satisfaction filled his heart!

Three hours in a Fourth-Level Demon Beast room cost three million!

Renewing it cost two million!

Five million for Beginner-level Shadowless and Tracefree was absolutely worth it!

Having achieved his goal, Lin Chen smiled faintly.

Then he checked out, paid the bill, and left!

It was already three in the morning.

The moment Lin Chen stepped outside, cold wind hit him in the face.

He glanced at the moon shrouded by dark clouds.

It seemed tomorrow would bring another thunderstorm!

Unbothered, he shook his head.

Then sped home!

At six the next morning.

Xiaoyu emerged from the secret chamber and headed straight for the training ground.

Because she still felt unsettled.

She decided to come take a look today after all!

She had assumed that guy had not come again.

But the sight before her completely broke her composure!

That damned guy!

Why didn't you come when I was here!

And why did you come again when I wasn't!

Seeing Room 5201's booking record.

Xiaoyu wanted nothing more than to hack that guy called Chen into a thousand pieces!

On the verge of tears, she sighed.

Then took out her black card and walked toward Room 5201!

She skillfully checked the replay records.

The scene before her left Xiaoyu stunned once again!

Unable to believe it, she muttered:

"This is... the Level Two movement technique Shadowless and Tracefree..."

It was obvious to the naked eye!

Lin Chen in the footage was as handsome as ever!

In an extremely short amount of time.

He had quickly trained Shadowless and Tracefree from novice to Beginner level!

Xiaoyu shook her head, her face full of shock.

What kind of monstrous genius is this?!

When she had learned a Level Two movement technique back then.

Had it not taken her two months to reach the Beginner level?

But this guy had reached it in less than five hours total!

Was he even human?!

Deeply shocked, Xiaoyu sighed.

Her curiosity over who this guy was only grew stronger...

Early in the morning.

Lin Chen ate breakfast as usual before heading out.

Looking at Chuan City's rain-shrouded sky.

He fittingly put on a baseball cap!

As he passed a small convenience store.

He even deliberately bought two packs of Hongtashan!

After five minutes at top speed.

Station 502 came into view.

Driver Old Zhang was waiting alone beside the vehicle.

The bus itself was completely empty!

Obviously, no one wanted to leave the city in thunderstorm weather.

Especially when the Guard Army selection competition was only eight days away!

Most Five-Star Martial Artists were preparing for battle!

Martial Artists below Five-Star hardly dared to leave the city alone!

"Morning..."

Looking at the two packs of Hongtashan being offered to him.

Driver Old Zhang could not help but freeze.

He glanced at Lin Chen, who was wearing a baseball cap, and said:

"You never miss a day, do you? There's a thunderstorm today!"

"So what..." Lin Chen got into the car and sat down. "It's not like I haven't gone out before. I haven't bathed in ages. I want to wash up!"

"Then I'll give you Huazi to smoke." Seeing that Lin Chen was unusually willing to chat, driver Old Zhang spoke again:

"Why do you only give me Hongtashan?"

"What status do you have?" Lin Chen smiled faintly.

"What status do I have? You insist on using the same stuff as me?"

Driver Old Zhang: "..."
