672: Why are you seeing your aunt?
As Grand Elder Wang Ruochen's voice fell, Yang Lingchen leaped into the air and slowly landed in the very center of the battle stage.
"Yang Lingchen, you have three challenge opportunities. State the opponent you wish to challenge," Wang Ruochen said loudly.
"This Disciple has only one goal, and that is the competition championship," Yang Lingchen spoke.
As soon as Yang Lingchen's words fell, a massive uproar instantly broke out on the scene.
"Is this guy crazy? Who is he? To dare challenge Bu Mingfeng."
"You don't know yet? This kid is a newly promoted Core Disciple, said to be personally taught by the two Young Alliance Masters."
"Even if his Revered Master are the two Young Alliance Masters, with his cultivation level at the sixth layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm, it's impossible for him to defeat Bu Mingfeng at the Peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm!"
"Who knows? Probably this kid is a bit overconfident!"
At this moment, everyone focused their gaze on Yang Lingchen.
"Yang Lingchen, are you sure you want to challenge the number one ranked Bu Mingfeng?" Wang Ruochen frowned and asked again.
"Sure," Yang Lingchen said with a firm tone.
"Kid, you are very arrogant. Since you want to challenge me, I'll fulfill your wish."
A tall figure descended from the sky, slowly landing opposite Yang Lingchen. His sharp eyes were like daggers, making people feel awe-struck.
The newcomer was indeed the number one ranked Core Disciple, Bu Mingfeng.
"Yang Lingchen, since you want to challenge, I won't say much. However, there is one thing you must remember: if you are no match, it's best to choose to admit defeat in advance," Wang Ruochen reminded.
"Thank you, Grand Elder. This Disciple understands," Yang Lingchen cupped his fists and thanked him.
"Alright, let the challenge begin," Wang Ruochen said loudly.
"Kid, don't say your Senior Brother is bullying you. Make your move; I'll let you have three strikes!" Bu Mingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his face showing an expression of extreme arrogance.
He didn't take Yang Lingchen's challenge to heart at all. After all, the gap in their cultivation levels was too large. In his view, Yang Lingchen was not on the same level of strength as him.
"Since Senior Brother Bu said he would let me have three strikes, then I won't be polite."
Yang Lingchen smiled indifferently and suddenly swung his right hand. A majestic wave of Qi instantly swept toward Bu Mingfeng.
Facing Yang Lingchen's imposing strike, Bu Mingfeng's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he secretly began to regret.
Intuition told him that Yang Lingchen's strike far exceeded his estimation. If he didn't go all out, he might very well be blasted off the Plain Battle Stage by this move.
But if he fought back, it would be no different from slapping his own face.
At the critical moment, he still mobilized all the energy in his body and then met Yang Lingchen head-on.
Slapping his own face was fine! It was better than the humiliation of losing!
"Bang...!"
As the two forces collided, Yang Lingchen's body remained motionless, while Bu Mingfeng was sent flying backward, landing on the edge of the Plain Battle Stage, almost falling off.
At this moment, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
This was Bu Mingfeng! The number one Core Disciple of the Heavenly Dao Alliance! To be pushed back by a new Disciple just like that?
"Good kid, you indeed have some skill. No wonder you dare to challenge me," Bu Mingfeng snorted coldly. His figure flickered, and he struck out a palm toward Yang Lingchen from the air.
This time, he chose to take the initiative.
Bu Mingfeng could see that Yang Lingchen's strength was very high. If he continued to be high-profile, he would suffer a crushing defeat.
Seeing this, Yang Lingchen smiled indifferently and casually struck out a palm with his right hand. Instantly, a dazzling light shot toward Bu Mingfeng.
"Bang!"
With a crisp bang, Bu Mingfeng was directly blasted off the Plain Battle Stage by Yang Lingchen's palm force.
"I lost."
There was a trace of unwillingness in Bu Mingfeng's eyes, but he still chose to admit defeat because he knew Yang Lingchen had shown mercy; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to stand up.
"Yang Lingchen's challenge is successful. Shall the Core Disciple competition continue?" Wang Ruochen's face was extremely gloomy, but he still announced Yang Lingchen's victory.
As Wang Ruochen's voice fell, the surroundings completely boiled over, with everyone's eyes showing looks of disbelief.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the high-level members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance were exceptionally solemn.
At this moment, they also realized that Yang Lingchen had clearly hidden his strength before joining the Heavenly Dao Alliance; otherwise, how could his cultivation level have broken through so quickly?
At the same time, the guards around the Plain Battlefield gradually became more stringent.
This change quickly caught Yang Lingchen's attention.
He could see that the high-level members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance had clearly begun to suspect his motives, doing this to prevent him from escaping.
However, Yang Lingchen was not worried. With his current strength, if he wanted to escape, these Elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance wouldn't be able to stop him, unless the Alliance Master of the Heavenly Dao Alliance personally appeared.
Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, Yang Lingchen would not choose to leave, unless the Heavenly Dao Alliance could no longer tolerate him.
The competition continued, but no one dared to challenge Yang Lingchen again. After all, since even the number one Core Disciple was no match for Yang Lingchen, others naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble.
In the end, Yang Lingchen successfully obtained the championship of the Core Disciple competition.
"Alright, this Core Disciple competition is over. Everyone may disperse. Yang Lingchen, stay behind," Grand Elder Wang Ruochen said loudly.
As soon as Wang Ruochen's voice fell, the surrounding spectating Disciples also gradually left the scene.
"Grand Elder, where is this Disciple's reward?" Yang Lingchen stood proudly and looked at Wang Ruochen.
"Yang Lingchen, why did you hide your cultivation level when you joined my Heavenly Dao Alliance? What exactly is your purpose?"
Wang Ruochen's eyes were like torches as he stared coldly at Yang Lingchen. His face was extremely serious, and his body radiated a majestic Aura.
"Grand Elder, this Disciple joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance with no ulterior motive, only to improve my personal cultivation level," Yang Lingchen said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Then why did you hide your cultivation level?" Wang Ruochen continued to press.
"This Disciple did not hide my cultivation level. The reason I broke through so quickly is mainly that my two Revered Masters taught me well," Yang Lingchen acted completely unfazed.
"Grand Elder, when Yang Lingchen joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance, he already swore a heavenly dao oath. We are very clear about his background and origins.
"We are willing to guarantee in our capacity as Young Alliance Masters that he will absolutely not do anything to betray our Heavenly Dao Alliance.
At this moment, the two sisters Lin Muxue walked over. Lin Muxue continued, "Moreover, we have already reported his matter to our Aunt. Once the competition is over, we will take him to see her."
"Since little girl Muxue guarantees it, then this old man can rest easy."
Seeing the two sisters Lin Muxue giving their guarantee, Wang Ruochen's expression softened significantly.
Then, he took out a storage ring and presented it to Yang Lingchen. "Yang Lingchen, inside this is the reward for the Core Disciple champion."
"Thank you, Grand Elder," Yang Lingchen bowed politely.
"Your talent is good. I hope you don't fail little girl Muxue's trust," Wang Ruochen said.
"This Disciple will definitely not fail Revered Master Muxue's trust," Yang Lingchen said.
"Then this old man will take his leave first. You young people chat," Wang Ruochen said and then left the Plain Battle Stage.
"Yang Lingchen, come with us!" Lin Muya said.
"Where to?" Yang Lingchen asked with a confused look.
"Of course, to see my Aunt," Lin Muxue said.
"Why see your Aunt? Our relationship hasn't reached the stage of meeting relatives yet, has it?" Yang Lingchen said with a chuckle.
"Bang!"
Lin Muya tapped Yang Lingchen's forehead and said coquettishly, "Stinky brat! Are you getting overconfident? You even dare to take advantage of your Revered Master?"
"Revered Master Muya, I was just joking. Don't be angry. Let's head out quickly!" Yang Lingchen hurriedly changed the subject.
"At least you know what's good for you. Let's go!"
Led by the two sisters Lin Muxue, the three of them flew all the way toward the Main Peak of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
"Two Revered Masters, who is your Aunt?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously.
He hadn't been in the Heavenly Dao Alliance for long, so he didn't know the identity of Lin Muxue's sisters' Aunt... To be continued!
