C572 Crazy Cultivator Lu Chen
"Third Prince, you set up a feast. What a generous gesture."
"I wonder how many people will be able to enter the top one hundred in Hundred Sects Meeting. He's planning to win the hearts of everyone without any concealment."
"I heard that Third Prince and the First Prince have never been on good terms. Furthermore, the two of them are fighting openly and secretly for the throne. Seems like it's true."
… ….
The moment Third Prince and Yin Zhi finished their words, many people looked at each other and started to discuss in low voices. If not, Emperor Qian would not have allowed him to preside over Hundred Sects Meeting this time. But what was more or less surprising was that the usually virtuous and famous him actually started to woo the people, and from the looks of it, he was under the pressure of the First Prince. Otherwise, he would not have made such a decision.
"If you want to win me over, a single invitation is far from enough."
Lu Chen looked at the invitation in his hand and also heard the discussions of the surrounding people. The corner of his mouth revealed a faint smile as he accepted the invitation. Accepting the invitation did not mean that he wanted to go personally.
The Hundred Sects Meeting had completely come to an end, and the overwhelming news spread outwards like a storm. Lu Chen and the Blue Cloud Sect behind him had officially barged into everyone's line of sight, and this seemingly unknown and remote sect had groomed such an outstanding disciple like Lu Chen, causing almost everyone to remember the three words "Blue Cloud Sect".
Just that night, at the inn where Blue Cloud Sect resided, who knew how many higher-ups of the other sects personally paid a visit, Sect Master Xie Wantian was so tired that he didn't even have the time to drink a mouthful of saliva, but he was incomparably carefree and happy. Because Lu Chen had made Blue Cloud Sect the number one place in the Hundred Sects Meeting, Blue Cloud Sect had welcomed a completely new development.
Because their sect's disciples did not make it into the top twenty, they faced a crisis of dissolution and reorganization. Rather than disappearing into the endless history, it would be better for them to just join Blue Cloud Sect, in the end, being able to preserve some of their inheritance.
There were more than a dozen sects, and the scale of each sect was far better than that of the Blue Cloud Sect. These large sects, which were normally high and mighty in the eyes of everyone in the Blue Cloud Sect, had actually given up on trying to join them, and if they did not see this with their own eyes, who would dare to believe this scene?
Third Prince Yin Zhi's banquet that night, because Lu Chen had no intention to go, Bu Zhan and Li Mubai did not personally go after Xie Wantian's opinion and only sent Yun Canghai out on his behalf. That would be interesting as even if they had the chance to join Dagan Academic Palace, it would still be a very dangerous matter if they were involved in the war for the throne between the princes.
This sort of thing was too risky. Once they stood on the wrong side of the line, it would be a complete disaster in the future. Xie Wantian clearly saw this, so he was very supportive of Lu Chen's decision.
Two days passed.
The disturbance caused by the Hundred Sects Meeting became even more intense, and Lu Chen's name almost spread throughout the entire imperial city. More and more people came to the tavern to pay their respects, some because they wanted to join the Blue Cloud Sect, and some because they wanted to meet Lu Chen.
"There are a lot of people looking for Junior Brother Lu these two days, the presents at the door are almost full. It's not a good thing for him to become famous."
"Haha."
"I think so."
"But, what's Lu Chen doing in the room?"
"Tomorrow is the day of Dagan Academic Palace's enrollment, don't tell me he isn't prepared to go there and take a look?" Bu Zhan looked at the tightly shut door of Lu Chen and asked with a puzzled expression.
"We don't need to worry about Lu Chen."
"It's better to think about the two of us. Tomorrow, can we pass the student recruitment test? I heard that the test is very difficult." Lee Mubai smiled helplessly.
Although the two of them had entered the top one hundred in Hundred Sects Meeting, according to the rules, they still needed to pass the Dagan Academic Palace's assessment before they could become disciples, unlike Lu Chen, who could directly become a student of Dagan Academic Palace.
In the room, a tall figure was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed.
His face was smooth and fair, and his facial features were distinct. His waist was as straight as a spear. He sat there quietly, as if time itself had stopped.
After experiencing the intense battle of Hundred Sects Meeting two days ago, Lu Chen once again realized the inadequacy of his own strength. Although his current fighting strength was enough to surpass an entire great realm and fight against a martial arts grandmaster, as the opponent's realm became stronger, the advantage he could bring out became smaller and smaller. In the end, it was still the difference in his own realm that was too big.
The Fifth Layer of a Grandmaster in the Martial Dao was a watershed.
Before this, he could use First Layer Of Innate Martial Master to fight against the First Layer Of Sect Master of martial practitioners all the way to the level of Innate Fifth Layer Of Martial Master against the Fifth Layer of Grandmasters of martial arts. However, after encountering a Sixth Heavenly Layer grandmaster, it would be very difficult to defeat the opponent.
After the Fifth Layer of a grandmaster in the path of martial arts, every small step he took would increase his strength by more than ten times, or even more. If he met a stronger opponent, he might not be able to contend against them with his current strength.
There were countless talented experts in the Dagan Academic Palace, and there were too many stronger people than Jiang Zichu. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Dagan Academic Palace, he would need to at least break through to the Martial Tao Sect Master Stage in order to have more confidence.
"Right now, I have the innate Seventh Layer Of Martial Master. I have to go all out to deal with Jiang Zichu, who is at the Sixth Heavenly Layer of the Martial Dao, in order to win."0
"If my opponent is a practitioner of the Seventh Layer Of Sect Master, his fighting strength is several times stronger than a Sixth Heavenly Layer Martial Master, or even more. Even if I break through to the Ninth Layer Of Innate Martial Master Realm, I would probably only be able to win with difficulty."
"However, if I can break through to the Martial Tao Sect Master Stage, both my physical body and my soul power will receive a qualitative increase. At that time, even if it's a practitioner with a stronger Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master of the ninth heaven, they should still have the strength to fight."
"If I want to continue breaking through the toughness of my fleshly body, there are only two methods. The first is to refine a Refining Liquid out of spirit plants of higher quality."
"The other thing is that I need to use high-intensity battles that are close to death to unearth the potential within my flesh and blood.
Lu Chen frowned deeply. Not only did he have to join Dagan Academic Palace, the most important thing he had to do was to find out the information to save his mother, Yin Susu. If he wanted to do this well, he might face the risk of exposing his true identity, which was why he had to be stronger.
As long as he had the strength, he would be able to dominate everything.
