56: Mindset Transformation

Time flew by, and another day passed. Yang Lingchen once again achieved a ten-match winning streak in intense battles. Added to yesterday's ten-match winning streak, he had now accumulated a twenty-match winning streak.

During this process of twenty consecutive wins, whenever Yang Lingchen encountered people from the Diyin Sect, Rakshasa Palace, or Demon Cloud Sect, he would kill them without mercy, never giving the opponent any chance to admit defeat.

What surprised Yang Lingchen was that Ling Yanyun and Nangong Yan did not engage in a massive brawl as he had imagined; instead, they adopted a method of subtle conflict, starting all sorts of jealousy-fueled rivalry.

For a time, Yang Lingchen felt overwhelmed and incredibly troubled.

Inside the stronghold of the Demon Cloud Sect.

"That Little Bastard Yang Lingchen has killed so many of our Disciples. Can you all really swallow this insult?" Huang Dingtian said angrily, his face looking terrifyingly gloomy.

"And if we don't swallow it, what can we do? For some reason, the strength of that bitch Dongfang Yunbing has suddenly skyrocketed. I am currently far from being her match," Feng Wuji said heavily, his brows tightly locked in a look of helplessness.

"Brother Feng is right. If we want to deal with Heavenly Origin Palace, unless our families join forces, we will only be defeated one by one by Dongfang Yunbing," Luo Tianming, the Sect Leader of Rakshasa Palace, said slowly, his eyes revealing deep worry.

"I believe we can do this…" Sect Leader of Tiantian Sect, Duanmu Ce, spoke up, then proceeded to elaborate on his plan in detail.

"Hahaha… Let's proceed according to Brother Duanmu's wishes." Everyone agreed one after another.

Time flashed by until it was the final day of the Grand Competition.

Over these six days, relying on his astonishing strength and tenacious fighting spirit, Yang Lingchen not only achieved a glorious record of sixty consecutive wins but also defeated Nangong Xiao and several members of the royal family.

Early that morning.

Under the leadership of Dongfang Yunbing, everyone arrived at the summit of Beixuan Peak once again.

Today was the final day, and Yang Lingchen was feeling very excited. As long as he won nine more matches, he would be able to secure the overall champion title of this Grand Competition.

The rewards for the overall champion of this Grand Competition were also extremely generous.

The champion would not only receive ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones but also one profound spirit fruit.

The profound spirit fruit was an extremely precious spirit fruit that could allow a powerhouse in the Entering Profound Realm to unconditionally raise their Realm by one level.

If a powerhouse in the Void Seeking Realm consumed it, they could instantly raise their Realm by three minor levels.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen secretly swore in his heart that even if he had to risk everything, even if it was just for this profound spirit fruit, he had to fight for it.

Soon, Yang Lingchen began his first battle of the day. His opponent in this match was Princess Zhou Yutong.

In stark contrast to the ugly-looking Zhou Yuxin, Zhou Yutong possessed a saintly and celestial appearance. Her features were as exquisite as a painting, her skin was as fair as jade, and her figure was slender and graceful, making it easy for anyone who looked at her to be captivated by her devastating beauty.

"Yang Lingchen, it was you who ambushed This Princess in the illusion, wasn't it!" Zhou Yutong's pretty face was cold, and anger flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"It was me. What can you do about it?"

Yang Lingchen looked indifferent; he would not be soft-hearted or go easy on her just because she was a beautiful woman.

"You are courting death. Today, This Princess must kill you."

Zhou Yutong's tone was extremely cold. Her figure moved like lightning as she slashed a sword strike swiftly toward Yang Lingchen. Since she was young, no one had ever dared to speak to her like that, and the anger in her heart had burned to the extreme.

"Damn it, you foul hag. If it weren't for the fact that you're a princess, I would definitely strip you bare."

Yang Lingchen cursed inwardly. He swung the heaven-reaching staff with both hands and rushed to meet her. Waves of staff energy, carrying an invisible and powerful force of Qi, continuously smashed toward his opponent.

"Clang... Clang... Clang... Clang...!"

The sounds of violent attacks were endless, ringing throughout the entire Arena.

Facing Yang Lingchen's crazed, insane attacks, Zhou Yutong was beaten back repeatedly and was struggling to parry.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen moves had passed.

Just then, Yang Lingchen caught a perfect opportunity and smashed his staff heavily toward her chest.

Zhou Yutong was not an ordinary person; her reaction was extremely fast. She hurriedly waved the battle sword in her hand to block in front of her chest.

"Bang..."

Yang Lingchen's full-force strike had astonishing power, shaking Zhou Yutong until she retreated repeatedly.

But Yang Lingchen did not stop his attack; he instantly launched a Soul attack.

In an instant, Zhou Yutong's eyes became dull and vacant, and she lost the ability to resist for a moment.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen didn't hesitate at all; he swung his staff and rushed up, raining blows down on Zhou Yutong.

"Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang..."

"You think just because you're pretty, I won't hit you."

"Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah...!" Zhou Yutong let out a series of shrill screams.

"Bang...!"

"Go to hell, you hag!"

Yang Lingchen kicked out, landing a fierce blow on Zhou Yutong's chest. This kick contained immense power and sent her flying directly.

"Screw you, you Damn Old Hag."

"Still want to kill me? If it weren't for the fact that this is the territory of the Northern Profound Empire, I would have stripped you naked and hung you on the city gate for people to gawk at." Yang Lingchen felt so satisfied in his heart, feeling completely refreshed.

Silence. At this moment, the scene was incomparably quiet.

Countless people were shocked by Yang Lingchen's actions, everyone dumbfounded.

In everyone's eyes, Yang Lingchen was a madman. He even dared to hit the princess and princes of the Northern Profound Empire; he was simply courting death!

At this moment, in the direction of the Northern Profound Empire, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the Great General Who Suppresses Heaven. Yang Lingchen's behavior was undoubtedly challenging the dignity of the entire Northern Profound Empire.

If this Grand Competition were not being hosted by the Northern Profound Empire, Zhou Xuanzheng would have really wanted to slap this ignorant boy to death.

And at this time, the other princes and princesses looked at Yang Lingchen with eyes full of intense killing intent.

Yang Lingchen did not care about the killing intent from those princes and princesses. Now, he only wanted to obtain that profound spirit fruit, so he could break through three minor levels in a row.

Yang Lingchen believed that since this was a Grand Competition hosted by the Northern Profound Empire, they certainly couldn't come after him just for a princess. If that were the case, who would dare to participate in the Northern Profound Region Grand Competition in the future?

As long as he obtained the profound spirit fruit, Yang Lingchen was confident that he could break through to the Entering Profound Realm in a short time. By then, he would be an invincible existence in the Entering Profound Realm.

At this time, Yang Lingchen returned to the location of Heavenly Origin Palace.

"Chener, as you are now, you are still far from being able to contend with the Northern Profound Empire. Do you understand the principle that something too rigid is easily broken?" Dongfang Yunbing said meaningfully, her gaze carrying a trace of worry.

"Revered Master, I'm sorry. In the future, I won't cause you any more trouble. One day, I will stand in front of you like a man and protect you." Yang Lingchen said earnestly, his eyes filled with a determined look.

Actually, Yang Lingchen also knew that he had been a bit too arrogant just now.

After all, in his previous life on Earth, he was just an ordinary loser who hadn't suffered much from the beatings of society. So now that he had a little strength, he was getting carried away.

But after Dongfang Yunbing's guidance just now, Yang Lingchen finally began to reflect deeply.

All along, the trouble Yang Lingchen caused was always shielded by Dongfang Yunbing. As a man, he should stand in front of her to protect her, not spend his days recklessly causing trouble for her.

"This Palace awaits that day for you." In Dongfang Yunbing's eyes, a look of gratification, rarely seen, appeared.

Of course, this didn't mean he would be a coward in the future; rather, before he had absolute certainty, he would try his best to keep a low profile.

The Grand Competition continued.

In the following battles, Yang Lingchen kept a much lower profile. He encountered several princes, all of whom looked like they wanted to kill him.

However, Yang Lingchen held back; he only blasted them off the Arena and did not injure them too severely.

Soon, the Grand Competition reached the final match, which was also the championship battle of this Grand Competition.

Because currently, Yang Lingchen had already achieved a sixty-eight-match winning streak.

And the Eighteenth Prince, Zhou Yuming, also had a sixty-eight-match winning streak.

This final battle would determine the ultimate champion, and the champion of the Northern Profound Region Grand Competition was equivalent to the number one Genius among the younger generation of the Northern Profound Region.

Therefore, this final decisive battle attracted the attention of countless people.

Although Yang Lingchen had been on a winning streak, no one favored him in this final battle.

Because the Eighteenth Prince had grown up through Cross-Rank Challenges since he was young. Only he had been able to perform Cross-Rank Challenges against others, and no one had ever been able to perform a Cross-Rank Challenge against him.

Moreover, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Void Seeking Realm, while Zhou Yuming had already reached the Peak of the fourth level of the Entering Profound Realm.
