Looking at the abundance of spirit crystals outside the door, Lin Chen felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. Ever since his battle with Xing Mie, he had felt he had reached a bottleneck. He had been stuck at the second-tier Saint realm for many days.
Just then, Li Jue sent me a bunch of spirit beast crystal cores to absorb, which was also a way of doing me a favor. Lin Chen was already making plans in his mind.
Lin Chen carried piles and piles of crystal cores into an empty room. He was going to be quietly working on something big these next two days. He spread the crystal cores out on the table, arranging them in order of rank, starting with the Supreme level.
He placed the crystal core in his hands, circulated the Daoist incantation, and the crystal core transformed into wisps of energy that merged into Lin Chen's body.
One, two... ten, twenty... Before he knew it, a day had passed. Lin Chen was absorbing energy without stopping, and he didn't know how much he had accumulated.
"Phew." As Lin Chen let out a long breath, he opened his eyes and looked at the crystal core that was almost half gone, as well as the raging energy in his body. He felt excited.
Lin Chen was preparing to formally convert energy into Dao Qi.
Concentrate, compress, release… step by step, slowly, Lin Chen's purple spiritual waves deepened, expanding outwards. He would soon level up—Third Revolution Saint, Breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, they had reached the bottleneck of the sixth level of Sainthood. Further absorption would no longer be of much use, because the remaining crystal cores were all too low-level.
"Sixth-level Saint is enough. I'll absorb a higher-level crystal core when I have the chance to break through." Lin Chen was already quite satisfied and muttered to himself.
After another day, he consolidated the Dao energy and realm he had gained, and solidified the cultivation techniques and Dao formulas he had just learned. The great battle was imminent.
Stepping out of the room again, Lin Chen's physique was still as striking and captivating as ever. Without much thought, he headed straight for the city lord's mansion, for he had already heard Li Jue's rallying cry.
"It seems that this is really valued by Li Jue. This Asura Ghost Market is probably not as simple as we thought." Lin Chen continued on his way, looking around the mansion.
Feeling incredibly bored on the way, Lin Chen realized he hadn't looked at his attribute panel in a long time, so he decided to bring it up and take a look.
"Retrieve Attributes"
"Ding, retrieval successful."

After reading it, Lin Chen chuckled, "Invincible under heaven? Bullshit!" However, he realized that he had learned quite a few techniques, and after the evolution of the Heavenly Evolution Dao Technique, he had at least two Spirit Tempering level techniques.
This is a kind of background that even some heirs of powerful clans might not possess. It seems Lin Chen is indeed very lucky.
Upon arriving at the city lord's training ground, Lin Chen saw rows upon rows of guards, each at least a third-level Supreme, numbering in the hundreds. He exclaimed that the city lord's resources were truly vast, but he feared this war would be bloody.
When Li Jue saw Lin Chen approaching, he quickly called him to the front and gave a very important speech. "This young man is Lin Chen, the legendary son of a divine beast who has recently gained great fame. Today, he will accompany us to the Frozen Abyss to fight for the honor of Sheng'an."
Looking at Li Jue's smile, Lin Chen thought to himself, "This guy is really cunning. 'Giving yourself a title and risking your life for it?? 'Child of a divine beast,' pshaw."
Ye Yao was also looking at Lin Chen at this moment, with a half-smile, which made Lin Chen feel quite helpless.
Looking at the assembled experts, Lin Chen was tricked by Li Jue into giving a speech on the high platform, ostensibly as a war mobilization speech. Xiao Er rolled his eyes at him.
"Brothers, this battle is a matter of life and death. I hope we can fight well and make a name for ourselves. Dark Ice City is nothing to fear. Just kill them all."
Lin Chen felt very awkward after saying those words. The army was about to depart, embarking on the road to the Frozen Abyss…
Upon arriving at the Frozen Valley, the entire southern part of the valley was shrouded in people from Dark Ice City. Among them were many familiar faces. Xing Lin, Xing Sen, and others, upon seeing Lin Chen's appearance, all had reddened eyes. However, their strength did not allow them to show off.
As the two armies faced off, Lin Chen and Ye Yao accompanied Li Jue to the front lines. Looking at the leader opposite them, they discovered a rather young man. He was at least ten years younger than Li Jue, which made Lin Chen think that this guy was probably quite talented.
"Old Li, long time no see! Do you remember how you guys got utterly thrashed last year? You've brought in reinforcements again today?" said Liu Yue, the fake gorilla and leader of Dark Ice City.
"Xiaoyue, don't be so arrogant. It's still uncertain who will win this year. Look at this person next to me, he's the rising star of the Asura Domain, the son of a divine beast."
Lin Chen's face flushed red and then turned pale. "Who the hell gave me the title of 'Child of a Divine Beast'? It sounds awful. If I find out, I'll kill it."
Liu Yue scoffed, indicating she'd never heard of it. The son of a divine beast? "I was the Illusionary Beast King ten years ago."
"Same rules as always, three against three, the winner after a score of two to one gets the right to use the Asura Ghost Market," Li Jue said to Liu Yue, while deliberately avoiding Lin Chen.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately wanted to curse. This city lord was utterly despicable! He thought such a grand spectacle was about to unleash a major battle, but it turned out to be a martial arts tournament? I…
Liu Yue readily agreed, indicating that there was no problem and that they would proceed according to the usual procedure.
Then, both sides immediately retreated several meters, creating a huge space. Then, Liu Yue waved her arm, and a huge circular arena rose from the ground. The arena was surrounded by people from both sides. This was really impressive!
Afterwards, Li Jue and the others discussed the order of battle and decided that Lin Chen would go first. Li Jue said, "Why hide our ace? Let's just go for it."
Being with Li Jue made Lin Chen realize that his own shamelessness was nothing. This guy was the most shameless of all.
Then, Lin Chen still leaped onto the arena. He had promised Li Jue, so he had to keep his word. After all, he was still waiting for Li Jue's benefits.
Looking at the familiar scene of the Frozen Abyss behind him, Lin Chen's mind was still filled with the scene of killing Xing Mie last time. He guessed that today would be another few tough battles.
