（Chapter 66）Provocation from the Wind Sword Sect

For Lin Chen, the so-called three-day grounding was merely a symbolic punishment.

Instead of sleeping, Lin Chen seized every opportunity to practice.

Time was of the essence.

He and his sister had no one to rely on.

Although Su Yuwei treated Lin Chen well, he couldn't depend on her indefinitely.

He had to improve his combat strength.

Lin Chen looked up at the names on the wall - Su Huanxue, Feng Yu, Feng Bu Mie!

Revenge required strength.

In the training room, Lin Chen sat cross-legged, practicing the Emperor's Art.

He had already mastered the first volume.

Over the past few days, Lin Chen's appetite had grown along with his strength.

Simple meals no longer satisfied him, forcing him to consume monster beast meat.

He roasted a monster beast thigh weighing dozens of kilograms until it was crispy brown.

He devoured one a day to satisfy his hunger.

The more he ate, the greater his progress.

Lin Chen clearly felt his daily improvement.

As an inner disciple, he had a heavy responsibility.

Moreover, he had promised Su Yuwei that he would do his best to help the Blazing Sun Sect compete for a second-class sect ranking.

There were only half a year left before the battle for the rankings.

Their biggest opponent was the Wind Sword Sect.

If all went well, Lin Chen would face Su Huanxue again in battle.

This time, he was determined to kill her.

At noon, a giant bird flew towards the Blazing Sun City from the sky.

This bird had a broad back with several people standing on it. They wore elegant white robes adorned with a small sword pattern on their foreheads.

The Wind Sword Sect!

The giant bird flew across the Blazing Sun City and headed straight for the Blazing Sun Sect Mountain.

"Boom!"

The giant bird's wings flapped, creating a strong gust of wind that swept several mountain-guarding disciples off their feet.

"Tsk, it seems the Blazing Sun Sect hasn't made much progress over the years!"

The middle-aged leader stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of pride in his expression. "Winning the Dragon Gate Conference proves that our Wind Sword Sect geniuses far surpass those of the Blazing Sun Sect. As one sect rises and another falls, how will you compete with us for the sect rankings in the future?"

"Elder is absolutely right."

A young man nodded in agreement. "I deeply regret not being able to participate in the Dragon Gate Conference. Except for Su Yuwei, I could easily defeat anyone else from the Blazing Sun Sect."

This young man was Zheng Liang.

He was also one of the geniuses recruited by the Wind Sword Sect.

He was highly regarded.

Unfortunately, the Wind Sword Sect had too many geniuses this year.

One was Su Huanxue, and the other was Chen Lingfeng.

These two were not only talented but also possessed terrifying combat strength.

In comparison, even the young sect leader, Feng Yu, was inferior.

"Wind Sword Sect!"

At this time, an inner sect elder, Yan Lin, rushed over from the mountain gate.

Yan Lin frowned and shouted, "Why have you suddenly come to the Blazing Sun Sect?"

Seeing Yan Lin approaching, the mountain-guarding disciples on both sides of the gate quickly made way.

They took a deep breath, looking at the Wind Sword Sect members with a hint of fear.

Their demeanor clearly indicated malicious intent.

"During the last Dragon Gate Conference, several of our Wind Sword Sect geniuses were unable to participate due to the limited spots. We were very dissatisfied! Your Blazing Sun Sect is recognized as the number one sect in the Five Kingdoms. Disciples like me truly wish to spar with you and exchange knowledge!"

The middle-aged man was named Xie Yu, one of the inner sect elders of the Wind Sword Sect.

Behind him stood three disciples.

They all displayed an unruly demeanor, looking down at Yan Lin.

'How arrogant!'

Yan Lin frowned. He was about to refuse when one of the disciples stepped forward and said with cupped hands, "Sun He, a disciple of the Wind Sword Sect, has been in the seventh level of the Earth Spirit Realm for half a year. I hope to obtain the title of inner disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect. Please enlighten me!"

His words were irrevocable.

Many cultivators had gathered to watch the excitement.

Some were residents of the Blazing Sun City, while others were disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect.

Sun He stood in front of the mountain gate, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.

"Inner disciple, Xu Siyang, seventh level of the Earth Spirit Realm, I challenge you!"

Among the inner disciples, Senior Brother Xu, who had founded the Hundred Treasures Society, stepped forward.

Xu Siyang's eyes were steady, and his expression was calm.

Compared to Sun He's arrogance, he appeared more reserved.

However, no one dared to underestimate him because of this.

Although Xu Siyang had been in the sect for five years and was considered an old-timer, his talent was never considered top-notch.

Since they were both at the seventh level of the Earth Spirit Realm, and given the other party's provocation, Xu Siyang didn't hesitate to challenge him.

A hint of relief appeared on Yan Lin's face.

Xu Siyang was highly experienced. At the same level, his combat power could not be weaker than his opponent's.

With him fighting, there was no need to worry.

Xu Siyang narrowed his eyes and summoned his spirit beast without a word.

His spirit beast was a sixth-level Green Cloud Leopard. It let out constant roars, its eyes flashing with a dangerous aura.

However, Sun He did not summon his spirit beast. Instead, he adopted a fighting stance with a cold and indifferent expression.

"Martial Arts?"

Xu Siyang raised an eyebrow slightly, but before he could react, Sun He attacked.

"Boom!"

A heavy aura burst forth from Sun He's body like a giant hammer striking the void, creating loud noises.

He threw a punch straight at Xu Siyang.

Xu Siyang rode on the Green Cloud Leopard and engaged Sun He in combat.

The Green Cloud Leopard pounced, its sharp fangs piercing the void as it lunged towards Sun He.

Sun He closed in on the Green Cloud Leopard and delivered a powerful shoulder strike to its jaw. He then twisted his body, grabbed the Green Cloud Leopard's head with both hands, and threw it hard to one side.

Body-refining martial artists had extremely strong bodies!

"Crimson Fire Lotus!"

Xu Siyang's eyes flashed coldly as he formed seals with his hands, unleashing a terrifying wave of fire energy.

Sun He remained fearless and raised his hand to punch.

In an instant, the fire energy was completely dissipated.
