Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 582 The Identity of the Hundredth Invincible Powerhouse
Tower of Babel Plaza.

A hush fell over the room as everyone awaited the results of the verification by the elder from the Misty Cloud Palace.

Many people's eyes darted back and forth between Lin Chen and Yan Ran, but no one spoke.

It's only a quarter of an hour, not a long time at all.

"coming!"

When Wei Lan's figure reappeared in the Tower of Babel Plaza, everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.

"I can testify on Lin Chen's behalf that he did indeed obtain the memories of our sect's ancestor."

Wei Lan knew what the martial artists present wanted to know, and without any hesitation, he directly revealed the answer.

Wow!
The entire scene, even among those who were all innate martial artists, was in an uproar at this moment.

Lin Chen actually guessed correctly the words left on the jade tablet by the founder of the Misty Cloud Palace.

The words on the jade tablet cannot be faked. This elder of the Misty Cloud Palace has already said that other martial artists are welcome to enter the sect to verify them, unless the Misty Cloud Palace changes the words on the jade tablet.

However, altering the words left by the founder on the jade tablet is a betrayal of the sect. No high-ranking member of any super sect would dare to do such a thing. Even if Lin Chen is the son of the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Palace, the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Palace probably wouldn't dare to do such a thing against the will of the world.

After the uproar subsided, everyone's eyes turned to Yan Ran, eager to know what explanation the Sixth Prince would have.

"As I have said, I do not need to explain. How could Lin Chen know that the contents of the jade tablet are unrelated to me? I was merely announcing a notice from the Tower of Babel."

Despite the doubts in everyone's eyes, Yan Ran remained calm. His meaning was clear: he didn't care how Lin Chen tried to prove his innocence; he was simply informing everyone of a fact.

"Sixth Prince, as an elder of the Misty Cloud Palace, I can confirm one thing on behalf of the Misty Cloud Palace: the inscription on the jade tablet left by our ancestor could never be leaked to outsiders."

Wei Lan spoke in a deep voice, and Yan Ran stared intently at him with a mocking look in his eyes: "Can you, an elder, represent the entire Misty Cloud Palace?"

Wei Lan fell silent. The martial artists present, seeing Wei Lan's silence, assumed that Wei Lan was wary because of what the Sixth Prince had said.

An elder cannot represent an entire sect; only the sect leader is qualified to say such a thing.

However, a few breaths later, a sound rang out.

“Senior Sister Wei can represent my Misty Cloud Palace, and I am here to testify on behalf of Lin Chen.”

"And there's this old woman."

"I am the Second Elder of the Misty Cloud Palace. I have come to the Tower of Babel on the orders of the Sect Master to inform you all that what Junior Sister Wei said is the word of our Sect Master."

As the voices rang out, everyone looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that they were all powerful figures at the fifth or even sixth level of the Innate Realm.

The twelve elders of the Misty Cloud Palace appeared together on the Tower of Babel.

Many martial artists present were moved. Although the sect leader of Misty Cloud Palace did not appear, the twelve elders speaking in unison were qualified to represent Misty Cloud Palace.

Moreover, these elders also mentioned that they were authorized by the sect leader, which means that the entire Misty Cloud Palace is risking its reputation to vouch for Lin Chen.

This portion is too heavy.

The royal family can ignore Lin Chen because they have the right to do so. The Canglan Sect and the Flower Clan can say that because they have a close relationship with Lin Chen, their words cannot be used as evidence.

But now that the Misty Cloud Palace, a super sect that has no connection with Lin Chen, is using the reputation of the entire sect to testify for Lin Chen, it would be somewhat unreasonable for the royal family to continue to be so arrogant.

Lin Chen looked at Wei Lan and the other elders of the Misty Cloud Palace, his eyes filled with emotion. He hadn't expected the Misty Cloud Palace to support him so much, even going so far as to confront the royal family.

"Yan Ran is going to be in trouble now."

When Teng Wangshan's voice transmission came, Lin Chen also looked at Yan Ran. At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Yan Ran.

"What a fine Misty Cloud Palace! I don't care what deals you have with Lin Chen or any other forces, but please remember the choice you made today."

Yan Ran smiled, but deep within that smile lay an endless chill. The next moment, under everyone's gaze, his figure vanished from the Tower of Babel Plaza.

gone!

The Sixth Prince just left like that!

Yan Ran's sudden departure caught many martial artists off guard.

So, did Lin Chen cheat or not?

Many martial artists pondered deeply, and came to an answer that shocked them all.

It is highly likely that Lin Chen did not cheat.

"Lin Chen, if you have time, you might as well visit my Misty Cloud Palace and tell us about some of the deeds of my sect's founder."

Wei Lan looked at Lin Chen and extended an invitation to him in front of everyone. No martial artist present seemed to have any problem with it.

Since Lin Chen has obtained the memories of the founder of the Misty Cloud Palace, it is only natural for the Misty Cloud Palace to invite Lin Chen.

"Alright, I will definitely visit the Misty Cloud Palace when I have time."

Lin Chen nodded solemnly, also wanting to know the purpose of the jade tablet left behind by the founder of the Misty Cloud Palace.

Elders Wei Lan and the others left, and the other martial artists present also departed one after another. The grand drama that had been unfolding for more than a day had finally come to an end.

This grand drama ended in an extremely undignified manner for the royal family, something they hadn't anticipated. After saying goodbye to Zeng Xi and other acquaintances, Lin Chen followed Teng Wangshan out of the Tower of Babel.

Looking at the spot where Lin Chen's figure disappeared, all the martial artists present knew that the Tower of Babel incident had come to an end, but the impact of this event on the entire Yan Dynasty was only just beginning.

……

……

Canglan Sect.

When Lin Chen returned to his courtyard, he found that, apart from Elder Teng, Elder Ye and the sect leader were all in his courtyard.

"This disciple greets the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master."

"No need for formalities. Tell me in detail about your experience on that invincible arena in the Tower of Babel."

Ye Feiran looked at Lin Chen with sparkling eyes. He already knew about Lin Chen's argument with Yan Ran in the Tower of Babel.

"it is good."

Lin Chen agreed and gave a detailed account of his opponents on the invincible arena, including the rewards he received.

Teng Wangshan and Ji Cangtian, who were standing nearby, were dumbfounded.

In particular, they recognized several of the opponents Lin Chen described; these were renowned powerhouses in the history of the Yan Dynasty, veritable peerless geniuses.

Facing such a prodigy, Lin Chen was able to win ninety-nine consecutive matches. If this were to get out, it would likely cause a huge uproar.

Ye Feiran's old eyes also gleamed. Compared to Teng Wangshan and Ji Cangtian, he knew more and understood what it meant for Lin Chen to be able to defeat these supreme experts of the same realm.

"Lin Chen's ability to defeat these ninety-nine historical experts at the fourth level of the Innate Realm does not mean that Lin Chen is stronger than these predecessors. Just like the founder of the Misty Cloud Palace, his strongest period was not at the fourth level of the Innate Realm."

Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces, Ye Feiran gave his analysis.

To be precise, Lin Chen defeated these seniors who were at the fourth stage of the Innate Realm.

"What the Supreme Elder said is true. The reason why I was able to win so many matches is not only because there are rewards after each match that can improve my strength, but also because these seniors are not all at their strongest in the four realms of the Innate Realm."

Listening to Ye Feiran's explanation and Lin Chen's humble words, Teng Wangshan curled his lips. Even if it wasn't the strongest period, they were still among the top 100 in history. Some did get stronger as time went on, but others became less amazing as time went on.

This is seemingly humble but actually showing off. Who is he showing off to?

But then Teng Wangshan smiled again. Lin Chen was also the son-in-law of their Flower Clan, and the stronger Lin Chen was, the more proud their Flower Clan would be.

"I am not being modest. In the hundredth match, the senior I encountered was far stronger than anyone before me. I couldn't even withstand a single move from him."

Lin Chen recalled his hundredth battle. It was against a young man. When the opponent appeared on the stage, he didn't have any special posture. Just by standing there, he felt an unparalleled power.

That domineering aura emanates from within, perfectly natural.

The opponent merely raised his hand, and he only saw a red sun shining through his eyes. The next moment, red light filled his entire pupils. By the time he reacted, he was already below the arena.

Fortunately, although he lost, he was strangely uninjured.

As Lin Chen recounted the strange phenomenon of the last powerful figure raising his hand to make a move, Ye Feiran's expression changed slightly, Teng Wangshan's expression changed drastically, while Ji Cangtian's expression remained largely unchanged.

"It couldn't be that guy, could it?"

Teng Wangshan spoke softly, his gaze turning to Ye Feiran: "Senior Ye, I wonder if my guess is correct?"

"Yes, it must be that one."

Ye Feiran nodded. The person Teng Wangshan was thinking of was also the one he was thinking of.

With an invincible presence at the fourth level of the Innate Realm, and the ability to illuminate the sun with a mere wave of his hand, there is no one else like him.

"Uncle-Master, who are you referring to?"

Ji Cangtian asked curiously, and Lin Chen also had a look of curiosity on his face. From the conversation between Elder Teng and the Supreme Elder, they should know the identity of this last senior.

"That one from the Dongfang family."

Teng Wangshan glanced at Ye Feiran, who was deep in thought, and then gave his answer.

Ji Cangtian's mouth opened slightly. He knew of the existence of the Dongfang family, but he did not know the characteristics of their cultivation methods. Before he entered the Innate Realm, this person had already stopped appearing in the martial arts world.

The reason why Teng Wangshan knew this was probably because of the Flower Clan, who must have had dealings with that person.

"Back then, that person visited my Flower Clan and displayed his martial arts prowess, and when he made a move, the red sun appeared."

As expected, Teng Wangshan's subsequent explanation confirmed Ji Cangtian's judgment.

"That person was actually Dongfang Canglang's father."

Upon learning the young man's identity, Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply. No wonder Dongfang Canglang was so arrogant; his father truly possessed invincible talent.

He finally understood why the royal family dared to slander him like this. They must have known that there was a projection of Dongfang Canglang's father in the Invincible Arena, and they were certain that he could not defeat him and that his ranking would never appear on the Tower of Babel again.
