Chapter 134: Lin Chen at His Peak in the Battle Against the Middle Stage of Jindan!

Lin Chen's muscles were tense.

From the hips to the shoulders, the power finally gathered on the arms.

Then, a knife was slashed!

Lin Chen did not hold back at all in this knife.

The basic power of more than 200,000 jin, plus the seven-fold blessing brought by the Star Vibrating Knife Technique.

It seemed that even the space was distorted...

Lin Chen jumped high, and the blade slashed at the neck of the giant puppet.

The protective formation was triggered instantly...

However, this illusory formation only existed for a moment, and then... it was shattered!

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and the blade passed through the neck of the giant puppet, bringing sparks.

The huge head that was half a person's height was directly cut off and fell to the ground with a heavy roar.

The head of the giant puppet was separated from the body, the light in the eyes gradually dissipated, and finally lay on the ground motionless.

At the same time, the cold voice in the closed space came again.

"Successfully passed the eleventh round of assessment, a total of 25 minutes and 17 seconds, rated A-medium..."

"A reward of a top-grade Jinyuan Pill..."

A stone rose from the ground again, with an ancient jade box on it.

Lin Chen took the jade box and saw the pill inside, and his eyes lit up.

"Top-grade Jinyuan Pill! There are pills of this quality..."

Lin Chen put the pills together with the Jinyuan Pill.

It is rumored that this top-grade Jinyuan Pill can increase the pill formation rate by 60%, and even slightly improve the quality of the Jinyuan Pill.

Even in the big sects, it is precious, and one pill is worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones...

"For this third level assessment, the value of the reward will increase exponentially with each level passed...but the danger will also increase exponentially..."

Lin Chen looked at a small door that appeared on the stone wall. He now has the opportunity to leave the third level assessment.

If he stayed, he would challenge the twelfth round...

"According to the previous rules, there would be at least two Jindan stage puppets..."

Lin Chen murmured, this difficulty has exceeded the limit of the perfect foundation building.

Even those geniuses would hardly pass...

But Lin Chen did not intend to leave.

"Since I'm here, I must take as many treasures as I can..."

Lin Chen stood there without leaving.

Soon, the small door to leave the assessment closed.

On the ground, the puppets that had been chopped off before began to piece together, and finally formed two giant puppets about ten feet tall.

"Sure enough, in the twelfth round of assessment, two Jindan stage puppets..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

With the previous experience, he decided to take the initiative.

After fighting for dozens of rounds, the two giants finally fell to the ground.

"Huh... So, is this the last round of assessment?"

Lin Chen took a few deep breaths and took a bottle of physical potion.

Although the consumption of true essence was not large, Lin Chen's continuous use of the vibration knife technique consumed a lot of physical strength.

The cold voice came to my ears again.

"Successfully passed the twelfth round of assessment, a total of 37 minutes and 27 seconds, and the evaluation is A-level..."

"Reward two top-grade Jinyuan Pills..."

Just when Lin Chen thought that this assessment would be endless, the cold voice finally changed a little.

"Do you want to proceed to the final round of assessment?"

"In the final round of assessment, you will challenge a puppet in the middle stage of Jindan. If you win, you will get a perfect Jinyuan Pill..."

"And you don't need to participate in the fourth level, and you will get the opportunity to directly enter one of the four gates of life, old age, sickness and death..."

"Next, you have half an hour of rest time, and you can give up at any time during this period..."

Listening to the voice in his ears, Lin Chen fell silent, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Is this considered to be triggering a hidden level? Skip the fourth level directly... Enter the four gates of life, old age, sickness and death?"

Lin Chen touched his chin.

According to the information he had obtained from Li Tianhan before.

All those who passed the third level assessment can enter the fourth level.

The fourth level is a melee in the ring. The four strongest ones will be selected from all the remaining cultivators, and then enter the four gates of life, old age, sickness and death.

After each gate, the challenges faced are different, but all can obtain the third-level Jinyuan Gong.

"Life, old age, sickness and death... From the name, the life gate is naturally the best..."

"But I don't know the specific content of the assessment..."

Lin Chen thought carefully in his heart, and then made up his mind.

Challenge the puppet in the middle stage of Jindan!

"The temptation of this perfect Jinyuan Pill is not small!"

"It is comparable to the puppet in the middle stage of Jindan, but it is not a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan after all... It is a little weaker in terms of wisdom and means."

"With my current strength, I should be able to defeat..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

His strongest offensive method now is undoubtedly the power of Zhulong combined with the vibration knife.

It can cut out a terrifying force of more than three million jin...

This is also Lin Chen's biggest trump card.

With this move, he is confident that even the middle stage of Jindan can't resist it!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated.

He sat cross-legged, took out the physical potion and pills, and quickly recovered.

"Since you want to fight, let's give it a try..."

...

Half an hour later.

As the door of this closed space closed, Lin Chen slowly stood up, and his physical strength and true energy finally recovered to their peak.

As the ground trembled, the two puppet giants that were destroyed by Lin Chen before actually came to life...

The body parts of those puppets were constantly spliced ​​and combined, and finally turned into a giant puppet three meters tall!

The puppet's whole body was wrapped in pitch black material, and its calves alone were almost as tall as Lin Chen.

On the huge head that was as tall as a person, scarlet eyes kept flashing.

A cold voice came from the puppet's mouth.

"Challenger, can you...defeat me!"

After the words fell, the puppet punched Lin Chen heavily.

Lin Chen did not make a hard connection, and narrowly avoided several rolls.

The huge force punched a big hole in the stone floor of the closed room.

Like an earthquake, the space shook violently.

Lin Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes became more solemn.

"This power... I'm afraid it's almost the same as the power of a vibrating knife. You must not be hit!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath and felt something in his heart.

A flash of black bloomed from Lin Chen's chest.

Like ripples of water, it quickly covered Lin Chen's chest, abdomen, limbs, head... and wrapped Lin Chen in all directions!

Martial spirit remains, Xuanmo clothing!

This is the first time Lin Chen has used this piece of clothing since he got it!

The moment the colonial suit was activated, Lin Chen could feel a small amount of his physical strength being depleted.

But he still gritted his teeth and activated the power of the candle dragon again!

The muscles all over his body expanded slightly, and Lin Chen felt that his strength and speed were stronger than ever before!

This is Lin Chen in his prime!

The Black Ink Clothing and the power of the Candle Dragon gave Lin Chen the courage to fight against the mid-level Danjie!

boom!

In front of him, the giant punched Lin Chen again.

This time, Lin Chen was wrapped in body-protecting essence and leaned his arms forward.

He wanted to try to see how big the power gap was between himself and this giant...

However, after the collision, a huge shock wave flashed through.

Lin Chen only lasted a breath before he was thrown away and took more than ten steps back.

Fortunately, Lin Chen was not injured as his whole body was wrapped in protective essence.

But his eyes were filled with amazement.

"The power of this puppet... this strike alone is probably no less than three million kilograms!"

Lin Chen pursed his lips.

Under normal conditions, his power is far inferior to this puppet.

Only with the help of a vibrating knife can we touch...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen stopped holding on to the demon-slaying knife.

An unprecedented confidence surged into my heart.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight!"

Lin Chen also wanted to try to see where his limit was.

Of course, Lin Chen left himself a backup plan.

According to his observation, people in this room can also perform the Earth Escape Technique. As soon as the Earth Escape Technique is used, he is almost invincible!

But right now, it's not time to escape yet...

"Vibrating knife!"

Lin Chen shouted softly and used the strongest move in history!

With the support of three buffs: Xuanmo Zongzhuang, Candle Dragon Power, and Vibrating Sword, the power of this sword has exceeded four million kilograms!

When the blade was still one foot away from the puppet giant, the protective formation had already been activated.

An invisible shield stopped the blade one foot away.

However, the shield only lasted for less than three seconds before it was cut through by Lin Chen's sword.

Then this knife hit the puppet's chest and abdomen.

Almost the entire blade was cut in...

"Success?"

"No……"

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly. Although his sword cut through the protective formation, it did not directly cut the puppet in half.

"The material used to cast the puppet is too hard...and the puppet is too large and difficult to damage..."

Thoughts flashed through Lin Chen's mind quickly.

Then he pulled out the entire knife, stepped back a few feet, and barely dodged the puppet's continuous punches.

"We have to find the weakness of this puppet..."

Lin Chen dodged the puppet's punch and repeatedly jumped sideways to avoid it, thinking constantly in his mind.

After several rounds of fighting, he had a rough judgment on the puppet.

It has huge power that surpasses the physical cultivation of the middle stage of Dan Formation, but its speed is slightly inferior, only equivalent to the early stage of Dan Formation...

But in this confined space of several tens of feet, this speed is enough.

At the same time, the protective formation around the body cannot be broken without a powerful attack at the level of pill formation...

The huge body is the strength and weakness of this puppet.

After all, the body is too big and not flexible enough, but the attack range and defense have also been improved.

"But overall, this puppet's attack method is still too simple..."

Lin Chen had a smile on his lips.

Compared with legal cultivation, physical cultivation has a single attack method, but it still has powerful physical skills and magical powers.

But the puppet giant in front of him only possesses the physical quality of a mid-stage pill-forming body, but does not possess magical powers.

This flaw is too obvious...

Lin Chen quickly observed several corners in the closed room, as well as the beaten bluestone floor.

While dodging the puppet attacks, Lin Chen also continued to release spells.

A moment later, Lin Chen evaded the puppet attack again and murmured softly:

"The green snake entwines..."

With the massive surge of Mu Zhenyuan in Lin Chen's body.

Dozens of waist-thick huge vines instantly sprouted from the ground, directly wrapping around the puppet.

"So much strength..."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

Although the vines entangled the giant puppet, they actually began to fall apart and break under the huge force of the puppet just for a breath...

"However, this time is enough..."

Lin Chen held the demon-slaying knife and rushed towards the puppet giant again.

But unlike before, Lin Chen was very particular about the location of his sword.

The three-meter-tall puppet giant, whose head alone was nearly as tall as a person, was made of special ore, so it was naturally very strong.

But the connection between its limbs and torso was its weak point...

"This sword will cut off your left arm!"

Lin Chen slashed with his sword, smashing the puppet giant's protective formation like a dead tree.

Although the sword's force was slightly weakened, the remaining force still cut off the puppet giant's left arm.

Bang!

The puppet giant's left arm fell heavily to the ground like a fallen tree.

Raising a cloud of dust...

At the same time, the puppet giant also broke free from the vines and rushed towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen used the same trick again, dodging while performing the green snake entanglement...

As if teasing, he continued to weaken the puppet giant.

Half an hour later...

The puppet giant had its arms and one thigh cut off by Lin Chen, and could only crawl on the ground, but it still rushed towards Lin Chen.

"It's a puppet after all... It's not afraid of pain, and it can still attack even with three limbs broken..."

"But that's all!"

Lin Chen slashed with a knife.

This time, his target was the puppet's head!

As the huge head fell to the ground, the light in the puppet's eyes gradually went out.

"You win..." The last voice came from the puppet's body.

After making sure that the puppet could not move, Lin Chen sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Damn, I'm really tired!"

The power of the Candle Dragon and the Black Ink Colonization Suit that lasted for more than half an hour almost drained Lin Chen's last bit of physical strength.

After taking out a bottle of physical strength potion and drinking it, Lin Chen slowly stood up.

He walked to a high platform and took away a jade box.

The jade box contained... the perfect Jinyuan Pill!

A pill that is said to be able to help people form a pill 100%, and can also improve the quality of the pill by one grade...

For countless geniuses, it is a treasure they dream of.

And in this closed room, a black door slowly opened.

...

At the same time, in the original square.

A total of twelve cultivators who have completed the foundation building passed the third level assessment.

After they waited for a long time in the square, a voice came.

"The third level assessment ends here..."

"Next, the fourth level assessment will begin..."

As the voice fell, three wide arenas appeared on the field.

The cold voice spread across the square again:

"This level will be in the form of a ring match, and three champions will be selected from all the cultivators... Enter the three gates of 'old age, sickness and death' respectively, and obtain the third-level Jinyuan Gong and part of the inheritance of Jinyuan Sect..."

"Those who hold the Jinyuan Sect inheritance token and have a comprehensive score of Class A will be given some rewards depending on the score level..."

"All those who step onto the ring will have their lives and deaths decided by fate. Those who do not participate in the fourth level assessment can leave the ruins..."

Several voices fell, and passages appeared on the surrounding stone walls again.

Seeing this, the cultivators in the square had different expressions and were thinking about something.

Wan Xun sat in a corner with a lot of scars on his body.

Especially the through wound on his abdomen, which almost showed his internal organs.

He slowly stood up, turned around and left the square without any hesitation.

Passing the third level assessment was already his limit...

In the third level, he defeated six cultivators of the same realm at most and obtained a medium-grade Jinyuan Pill.

Although he had some ideas about the rewards for the final fourth level, he knew that he was far from being a match for the other cultivators present...

Especially, those who looked the most relaxed.

Next, there were many cultivators who had the same idea as Wan Xun.

A total of six cultivators left the ruins one by one after taking the rewards.

Soon, only six cultivators were left in the square.

Among these six cultivators, half of them looked puzzled.

Young Master Qingzhu shook his feather fan, feeling surprised.

"That's not right. According to the information...there are four gates of birth, old age, sickness and death, why are there only three gates left now? Where is the gate of life..."

"Is the information wrong?"

"But why is it...the gate of life that is the most impossible to complete?"

Young Master Qingzhu glanced at the other cultivators present.

Except for Jiang Liqian, who covered her face, he didn't know the details of the other six cultivators.

"The old monster with ghost eyes is unfathomable. I am a Jindan cultivator, but now I have broken my Jindan and become a perfect foundation..."

"But his foundation is still incomparable, I can't beat him..."

Mr. Qingzhu murmured, looking at other cultivators again.

"As for the monk Li Tianhan, he has practiced both magic and body, and he has fought his way out. I am afraid it will be a tough battle for me."

"As for other cultivators... I still have a chance to become the champion..."

Thinking of this, Mr. Qingzhu was not in a hurry to go to the stage, but stood there and waited quietly.

Among the six cultivators present, there were three cultivators with surprised faces.

They were Li Tianhan, the ghost-eyed boy and... Jiang Liqian!

They had one thing in common, that is, they all made it to the twelfth round of the third level assessment...

But before the thirteenth round, they all gave up.

Because they had to fight against two puppets in the early stage of Jindan at the same time through the twelfth round of assessment, which had exhausted most of their trump cards.

Facing the puppet in the middle stage of Jindan, they really didn't have the courage to challenge it, nor did they think that anyone else could pass the thirteenth round...

At this time, the most shocked person must be Li Tianhan.

"Hiss... That Xu Shi is so brave? He actually passed the thirteenth round of assessment... and defeated the puppet in the middle stage of Jindan?"

"But... why did brother Xu Shi choose the most impossible life gate? Could it be... he is very sure?"

Li Tianhan looked around and confirmed that Xu Shi did not come out.

But he knew that Xu Shi was also rated as Grade A... It is impossible that he could not pass the level...

Therefore, there is only one possibility!

That is, Xu Shi passed the thirteenth round of assessment that they had no confidence to challenge!

"What kind of force is this Fengling Yueying Sect?" Li Tianhan muttered in his heart.

Although the ghost-eyed boy was also surprised, he still jumped onto the "death gate" arena.

"This death gate is for me! If you are blind, just come up!"

The ghost-eyed boy stood on the arena carelessly, scanning the crowd below.

But the other five cultivators avoided his gaze.

Even Li Tianhan did not intend to fight with the ghost-eyed boy...

After all, there were three arenas, so he did not need to choose the most difficult opponent.

So, Li Tianhan jumped up and stepped onto the "Laomen" ring.

"My fellow Taoists, this ring is for me, Li Tianhan of the Demon-Subduing Temple... If any Taoists want to come up and try their hand at fighting, I will accompany you to the end!"
