The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3551 Dare to Accept a Challenge?
Lin Chen knew that Chen Zu must be secretly watching everyone here, and everyone's words and actions would naturally fall into his eyes.

Lin Chen didn't dare to use any clever tricks to mislead the people opposite him; that would be the most foolish thing to do.

How could someone like Chen Zu be easily fooled?
Faced with the barrage of words from the crowd, Lin Chen calmly replied, "Your various sects and factions have sent many alien cultivators to act as cannon fodder for you. Now that I, the cannon fodder, have been lucky enough to get here, it's not unreasonable, is it?"

“The Holy Domain has no rule prohibiting cultivators of other races from entering this place, so my breakthrough here is naturally in accordance with the rules. Whether I am qualified to receive the inheritance of Ancestor Chen is not something that you few can deny.”

Lin Chen's firm reply immediately angered the people in the pavilion.

The group's gazes sharpened and focused on Lin Chen, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.

Lin Chen met their gazes without fear and smiled, "What, are you planning to join forces and eliminate me, this alien race you don't like, first?"

Zhao Muran and the others did have this idea, but they didn't dare to.

Before the final assessment rules were revealed, they dared not start a war recklessly, lest they violate the rules of the Holy Land.
This sacred realm is terrifying and powerful; even saints dare not easily provoke it, let alone those who are quasi-saints.

If they were to violate the rules of the Holy Land, it would be far too easy for the Holy Land to eliminate them.

Lin Chen naturally understood their thoughts, so he was not afraid at all.

What are you looking at me for?

Go ahead and do it if you dare.

Zhao Muran said coldly, "Don't think you're safe just because we don't dare to risk killing you. There can only be one inheritor of the Holy Domain, so this final test will most likely be a competition between us. You will be the first one we kill!"

“If you were outside, with the Star Chart Spirit, you could run away if you couldn’t win, and probably none of us could stop you. But in this Holy Domain, your Star Jump is useless. Coming to this Holy Domain is abandoning your greatest strength and courting death!”

As soon as Zhao Muran said this, the eyes of the others lit up.

"This alien slave actually possesses the spirit of the star map?"

Zhao Muran did not hide the news and smiled, "Yes, I fought with him during the exploration of the trial field. He escaped by jumping through the starry sky. I originally wanted to catch him, but he ended up in someone else's hands. Now he has delivered himself to my door."

Zhao Muran glanced at the others and cupped his hands, saying, "We don't know how the final test will be conducted yet. No matter who wins in the end, we must not let this kid leave the Holy Domain. Otherwise, he will escape in an instant, and no one will be able to catch him. Consider this message a congratulatory gift to the final victor."

Everyone was tempted, and their eyes toward Lin Chen held a hint of malice and greed.

Lin Chen laughed: "You're quite good at doing favors, aren't you? What, are you worried that you won't be the final winner, afraid that you'll be taken advantage of by the winner, so you're using me as a favor, as an early gift to curry favor and beg for mercy?"

Zhao Muran wasn't angry; after all, in her eyes, Lin Chen was no different from a dead man.

"Yes, those who can stand here are all exceptionally outstanding talents. No matter who it is, I'm afraid none of them would dare to say that they will definitely be the final victor. I am the same. Isn't it normal for me to establish a good relationship with the successor of the Ancestor of the Chen family in advance?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You didn't even ask for my opinion. You're using my gift as a present, aren't you afraid it will hurt your hands?"

Zhao Muran gave a cold laugh: "Laugh all you want, let's see if you can still laugh when the final level starts."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You've been here for quite a while now, haven't you started the final challenge yet?" Zhao Muran remained silent with a cold expression. Instead, a man replied, "I reckon the final challenge will only start once we've gathered a certain number of people or met some other condition. We've searched this floating island, but haven't found anything unusual. We can only wait."

When this matter was mentioned, the others also showed some uncertainty and anxiety.

They arrived here at different times. Those who arrived first were naturally overjoyed, but after waiting and waiting, they couldn't wait for the final level to open. Instead, they were greeted by explorers who entered later.

As more and more explorers arrived, even alien slaves like Lin Chen were now venturing here, which made those who had entered earlier increasingly unhappy.

There are more and more competitors!
Lin Chen chuckled inwardly as he saw the expressions on their faces.

In contrast to the anxiety of these people, Lin Chen remained completely calm.

He's met Chen Zu before!
Since Ancestor Chen is still alive, this final trial will definitely open eventually; we just need to wait.

If I really can't wait any longer, I might as well shout out to Chen Zu and ask him for an explanation.

However, none of these people had ever met Chen Zu, so Lin Chen naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

We can just wait together if necessary.

The one thing cultivators have the most of is time. They came here prepared to cultivate in seclusion and break through their cultivation level. What is a little bit of waiting?
After understanding the situation, Lin Chen calmly sat down cross-legged in a corner of the pavilion. To ensure his safety, he also summoned the Linglong Pagoda, which floated above his head, emitting a faint golden light that enveloped him.

Zhao Muran was furious to see Lin Chen sitting in meditation as if no one else was there. In her eyes, it was an insult that a slave from another race like Lin Chen was competing with them for the position of successor.

Lin Chen didn't care whether she was happy or not; he just sat quietly in meditation.

Suddenly, Chen Zu's familiar voice entered the depths of Lin Chen's mind.

"Boy, you possess the spirit of the star map?"

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

As expected, the old man Chen Zu was watching everyone's every word and action, and another of his trump cards was exposed.

However, as Zhao Muran said, although the Star Jump is powerful, it is completely useless here.

Lin Chen wasn't worried about whether Chen Zu would scheme against him. After all, if he really had any ideas, he would have already implemented them and wouldn't have had to wait so long.

Lin Chen didn't know where the other person was, so he could only nod silently in acknowledgment.

"The spirit of the star map, which even saints find difficult to obtain, has actually been obtained by you, a boy from another race. You have quite the luck."

Lin Chen didn't know how to answer, nor where to answer, so he remained motionless.

After a long pause, Chen Zu's voice rang out again: "I see that you are incredibly strong. I estimate that none of these people would be your match in a one-on-one fight. Do you have the courage to accept a challenge? If you succeed, you will receive all of my inheritance."
