107: Chapter 107 You old scoundrel, how dare you steal my disciple?!
The Third Martial Arts Arena was in an uproar!
Everyone looked at Chen An standing on the ring, then at Shen Qinghua, who was rolling on the ground clutching his head and screaming. Their faces were filled with confusion.
Just then, a figure appeared on the ring like a ghost.
Among the thousands of eyes present, no one saw how this person appeared.
Except for one person: Chen An!
Chen An looked at the middle-aged man in a moon-white Confucian robe who had suddenly appeared before him, and a strange glint flashed in his eyes!
A Martial King!!!
This sudden man was actually a powerhouse of the Martial King Realm!
As a Martial Artist whose cultivation was already at the Perfection of the Martial King Realm, he could not be mistaken; the person before him was definitely a Martial King Realm Martial Artist.
Moreover, Chen An felt a familiar aura from him.
Extinction, annihilation, and aloofness—it was the Concept and aura of the Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction!
Thinking about who in the entire Qing Province could possess such an aura, Chen An immediately knew the identity of this man in the moon-white Confucian robe who had suddenly appeared!
The Prefectural Academy's Master, the Qing Province Saber King, Instructor Lin Chengyuan!
Only he could possess such cultivation and such Saber Intent.
However, what Chen An did not expect was that it had always been rumored outside that Instructor Lin Chengyuan was only a Great Grandmaster at the Perfection stage.
It seemed that either he had deliberately hidden his cultivation, or he had only recently broken through to this Realm.
As Instructor Lin Chengyuan's figure appeared on the ring, the Void Realm of the entire ring seemed to tremble slightly.
He didn't even glance at Shen Qinghua, who was still rolling on the ground and screaming. His gaze fell only on Chen An. His eyes, which were usually calm as an ancient well, were now filled with shock. He looked at Chen An and asked, "Your Saber Intent has already reached the Entry Stage?!"
"What?!"
"Saber Intent at the Entry Stage?!"
"Who is this person? He said Chen An's Saber Intent has reached the Entry Stage?!"
"What does Saber Intent at the Entry Stage mean?!"
"What? Chen An actually reached the Entry Stage of Saber Intent?!"
"Damn! Saber Intent—that's a Concept. I've read in the books at the Prefectural Academy Library that it's a Domain that only Grandmaster Realm powerhouses can touch. Even for a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse, reaching the Entry Stage requires countless amounts of time, or they might even be stuck at this threshold for a lifetime!"
"Wait, didn't Chen An only comprehend a trace of the Saber Intent left by Master Lin the day before yesterday? How did he reach the Entry Stage of Saber Intent already?!"
"My God, what kind of Prodigy is this?!"
Although Instructor Lin Chengyuan's voice was not loud, everyone under the ring were students of the Prefectural Academy, and basically all of them had Acquired Realm cultivation. If they listened carefully, not even the sound of a mosquito within dozens of meters could escape their ears.
Therefore, after Instructor Lin Chengyuan's words were spoken, the people under the ring heard them. After some knowledgeable students explained it, the crowd immediately broke into an uproar.
They finally understood why Shen Qinghua had suddenly acted like that just now.
It turned out that Chen An had actually used Saber Intent on Shen Qinghua!
That was Saber Intent, a Domain that only Grandmaster Realm powerhouses could possibly touch or involve themselves in.
It didn't matter that Shen Qinghua was just an Acquired Realm Martial Artist; even if Shen Qinghua were an Innate Realm powerhouse, facing Chen An, who had already mastered a Concept, the outcome would not have been any better.
Su Ningyan, who was in the crowd, also had her face pale with shock. Her eyes were fixed on Chen An, her pretty face filled with shock and disbelief.
Her mother, Headmistress Su Qingyi, was a Grandmaster Realm Late Stage powerhouse. She knew better than anyone how difficult it was to reach the Entry Stage of a Concept. Many gifted Martial Artists spent their whole lives only able to touch the threshold of a Concept, unable to comprehend even a trace of it.
Just like her mother, a Grandmaster Realm powerhouse, who had also spent decades to reach the Entry Stage of the Sword Intent she comprehended.
And Chen An? Two days!
In just two days, he had gone from comprehending a trace of the Saber Intent on the plaque at the gate of the Prefectural Academy to crossing that chasm that countless people could never reach, and reached the Realm of the Entry Stage of Saber Intent.
This could no longer be described as a Genius!
This was simply a Prodigy!
A monster!!!
Shen Qinglan's face was also filled with shock. Although she trusted Chen An in her heart, she did not expect that Chen An had actually reached the Entry Stage of Saber Intent.
No wonder Chen An was so confident in front of her, daring to accept Shen Qinghua's bet!
Looking at Chen An, who stood tall on the ring, Shen Qinglan's brows relaxed, and a bright, radiant smile appeared on her face.
The boy she had always protected had finally grown up!
...
On the ring, facing Instructor Lin Chengyuan's question, Chen An nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"
Hearing Chen An's words, Instructor Lin Chengyuan's eyes shook!
"Hahaha, good! Good! Good!!!"
Hearing Chen An's answer, Instructor Lin Chengyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter, the sound of which made the air of the entire Third Martial Arts Arena hum.
He looked at Chen An as if he were looking at a peerless divine jade that had been covered in dust for ten thousand years and had finally seen the light of day. The light in his eyes was frighteningly bright, and his hands were even trembling slightly with excitement.
He had lived for two hundred and thirty-six years and had seen countless Geniuses, but he had never seen such a Heaven-Defying existence!
What is Extinction Blade Intent?
Extinction Blade Intent is unparalleled in slaughter and domineering to the extreme!!!
Think of him, Instructor Lin Chengyuan, who possessed the Tyrant Saber Battle Body, learned the saber at five, reached the Grandmaster Realm and touched the threshold of Saber Intent at thirty, and spent another twenty years—reaching the Entry Stage only at fifty. Now, at two hundred and thirty-six, he had only comprehended Saber Intent to the Domain Realm.
But Chen An?
Seventeen years old!
Two days!!!
In just two days, he had completed the path of the Saber Dao that had taken him fifty years!
This was no longer a Prodigy; this was a successor to the Extinction Blade Dao destined by the heavens! It was the Heavens sending someone to continue his lineage!
"The heavens have eyes! The heavens have eyes!"
Instructor Lin Chengyuan looked up to the sky and sighed, tears even welling up in his eyes.
He had no children in his life, and his only obsession was to pass on the Extinction Blade Dao.
But his seven Disciples—one had become crippled due to Qi Deviation while practicing, and the other six had died one after another while fighting the Ancient Demon Race in the Northern Territory!
He had thought that when his Lifespan was exhausted, the blade technique of the Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction would be completely lost and become dust in history.
He didn't expect to meet Chen An!
"Chen An, I am Instructor Lin Chengyuan. Are you willing to take me as your master?!" Instructor Lin Chengyuan suddenly stopped laughing and looked at Chen An solemnly.
"What?!"
"Instructor Lin Chengyuan?! Isn't that the Master of the Prefectural Academy?!"
"This person is the Qing Province Saber King, Instructor Lin Chengyuan, Master Lin?!"
"Damn! Master Lin actually wants to take Chen An as his Disciple? This is too magical, right?!"
"How is Chen An worthy of having Master Lin personally take him as a Disciple?!"
"Are you blind? Chen An reached the Entry Stage of Master Lin's Saber Intent in just two days. With such talent, not to mention Qing Province, even looking at the entire Imperial Dynasty, I'm afraid you couldn't find a second one, right?!"
Hearing Instructor Lin Chengyuan's words, the students below couldn't help but break into an uproar and discuss again.
"You old scoundrel, you dare to snatch my Disciple? If you don't give me an explanation for this today, I won't let you off!!!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from the Void Realm, and Principal Beigong Mo was seen stepping through the air, glaring at Instructor Lin Chengyuan...
