Chapter 2199 - 2200: Learning by Stealth
Regarding the sect competition, at this moment, Lin Chen is already indifferent, and he still has Chen Jie helping him handle the follow-up affairs. Now Lin Chen himself has no worries, and he wholly devotes his mind and body to cultivation.Although his strength has already reached the Spirit Pill realm, he still prefers a very long adaptation process as he needs to familiarize himself with the Spirit Pill realm within a few short months.
So during this time, Lin Chen didn't go anywhere; apart from cultivating in his room, he went to the training ground.
During this period of cultivation, his strength improved the fastest.
...
At this moment, Lin Chen stands within the stone gate of the ninth level of Qi Refinement, his face solemn as he gazes at the Spiritual Body inside the stone gate, with a deep sense of gravity on his face.
Standing outside the platform, his blue shirt is already torn in four places, with the ripped fabric connected only by threads. Through the collar, one can see the robust skin inside, marked with fresh blood stains.
These marks are still new, with scarlet blood seeping out, making his whole appearance seem extremely disheveled.
He tightly focuses on that Spiritual Body.
Since Lin Chen learned a sword technique from Wang Hao, the Spiritual Body inside quickly learned it too.
But its power is far stronger than Lin Chen's; Lin Chen still cannot control it freely, and dares not to use it lightly in battle. Yet the Spiritual Body in front easily executed it.
The momentum, although not as violent as Wang Hao's, was still much stronger than Lin Chen's.
This made Lin Chen quite uncomfortable.
"What kind of monster is this? If only I could learn spiritual techniques as simply as it does."
Lin Chen stands outside the platform with a wry smile, then lightly sighs, sits cross-legged on the ground, and begins to restore his energy.
Not long after, Lin Chen gets up from the ground again, and as he rises, the Tianyan Ancient Sword is pulled from storage by him, and the right-hand swing causes the sword tip to lightly sway backwards, cutting a faint "zing" through the air.
"Come on!"
Lin Chen suddenly shouted loudly, his figure flickering and darting like a ghost.
This was already the umpteenth time he had fought with that Spiritual Body, but although his face was solemn, there wasn't a trace of fear.
His figure moved like the wind, seemingly merging with the air, and as his figure flickered, only a point of chill on the sword tip could be seen, with him entirely hidden behind it.
The speed couldn't be called slow, but the Spiritual Body wasn't weak either.
Although it only had the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refinement, its response was not slow.
As Lin Chen's figure barely stepped onto the platform, its figure had already burst into action.
I saw its Spiritual Energy-transformed sword slightly lifting, and in its rise, it was Lin Chen's long-desired strike!
The sword soared in front of the Spiritual Body, and then a surge of Spiritual Energy erupted from the Dantian of the Spiritual Body.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen suddenly stopped about three or four meters from the Spiritual Body.
"Open!"
Lin Chen shouted as a stream of Spiritual Energy surged like a torrent toward the acupoints between his brows.
During the surge, a thin fissure long and as thick as a hair opened between Lin Chen's eyebrows.
The airflow in the atmosphere seemed clear as his eyebrows opened, and the flow of Spiritual Energy within the Spiritual Body's Dantian was even clearer.
Lin Chen fixedly stared at the Spiritual Body with his eyes, and the sword in his hand swung forward like the Spiritual Body's, and in the next moment, Lin Chen's Spiritual Energy mobilized from the Dantian, surprisingly circulating in the same manner as the Spiritual Body's through his body's meridians.
He was betting that since the Spiritual Body was a replica of himself.
Therefore, the meridians and Spiritual Energy within the Spiritual Body would naturally be the same as those within Lin Chen.
Although the Spiritual Body initiated the sword technique first, Lin Chen was not much slower, only half a beat behind.
Spiritual Energy surged through his body's meridians like a torrent, as if it was a series of wide channels pouring towards an unknown end.
Under such a mad surge, Lin Chen could almost hear the whistling within his meridians, with a light hum pouring toward his right shoulder.
Before learning the spiritual technique, Lin Chen had suffered a lot, but now Lin Chen didn't stop that surging force despite the previous pains.
He grit his teeth as his gaze turned fierce.
The Spiritual Energy coming from the Dantian was converging in his hands into a thick torrent!
At this moment of influx, Lin Chen didn't feel the gut-wrenching pain as before, but rather an extremely intense momentum.
"Success!"
This momentum exuded a piercing sharpness moving forward, surging and concentrating towards the sword blade in his hands, with the Spiritual Energy roaring within Lin Chen's body, as if yearning for release through the sword in Lin Chen's hand.
Seeing this, Lin Chen felt a surge of joy within; his sword was vibrating, a vibration Lin Chen was familiar with, just like the sword technique used by Wang Hao.
Amidst his delight, the Spiritual Body's offensive had already formed, its sword aimed directly at Lin Chen.
From the sword tip, a keen momentum was palpable.
Whoosh!
As the sword technique solidified, the Spiritual Body simultaneously began to move, its form taut like a bowstring drawn full; as its steps glided, it transformed into a lengthy line, the sporadic glint at its front was the sword tip held by the Spiritual Body, carrying its body forward.
Lin Chen's eyes gleamed sharply, but he did not dodge; his sword technique was about to solidify too, and right as its offensive was about to sweep in front of him, Lin Chen's brow relaxed, filled with joy, and then he dashed forward like the Spiritual Body.
Two sword tips converged in mid-air, the gathering swords releasing a faint hum, with the humming bearing a momentum.
The next moment, a snapping sound broke out from the Spiritual Body's sword, the sword body formed by Spiritual Energy evidently could not compare with the real sword held by Lin Chen.
Thus, despite Lin Chen's Spiritual Energy being the same as the Spiritual Body's, only at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, concentrating on the sword technique still easily shattered the sword body!
In the collapse of the sword body, Lin Chen's form darted forward like a white rainbow piercing the sun, his body not yet reaching, but a sharp sword already pierced through the Spiritual Body's form.
"Hu... In this manner, maybe I can also do the same behind the Spirit Pill realm's stone gate."
Lin Chen turned sideways, looked at the dissipated Spiritual Body, and his face was filled with an overflowing joy, difficult to conceal.
The Spiritual Energy he just used was mimicked according to the Spiritual Body's usage.
Seemingly, that choice was immensely correct; the sword wielded was casual yet sanguine, bringing an elation that made him clench his sword tighter.
