You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

Lin Chen stood in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, his gaze filled with greed.

He gritted his teeth, sneered inwardly, and forcibly looked away from the fruit, adopting the air of a wise man who had seen through everything.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Gu Changyuan is definitely up to no good. Given his vindictive nature and his usual arrogant demeanor, how could he be so generous? To offer such a treasure as a reward?"

"There's definitely something fishy going on here. It might be a trap set specifically to ensnare us outer disciples."

He knew these second-generation rich kids all too well. They wouldn't even give them a second glance normally, so why would they suddenly show kindness today? That was like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—they had no good intentions.

But despite his doubts, Lin Chen's body reacted honestly. He pursed his slightly chapped lips, and his throat bobbed involuntarily.

This thing was just too tempting for him.

You must know that he has mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, and his cultivation speed is so slow that it's outrageous. But if he obtains this Five Elements Spiritual Fruit, he will have the opportunity to change his situation.

These Five Elements Spiritual Fruits naturally contain the essence of the five elements, which not only perfectly match his physique but also help him cleanse his marrow and refine his impure spiritual energy.

To put it bluntly, this fruit is practically made just for him by God!

The opportunity to defy fate is right in front of you; who could resist it?

In the end, desire triumphed over so-called backbone. Lin Chen took a deep breath and looked at the Five Elements Spirit Fruit with a greedy expression.

"Hmph, although I don't know what you're up to, I, Lin Chen, am not easily intimidated. I'd like to see what kind of trouble you, Gu Changyuan, can cause!"

"Since this fruit is displayed, it is unclaimed. Whoever is capable should take it. Why can't I take it?"

"The day I obtain the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit and my strength skyrockets, I will trample you under my feet and make you regret what you did before!"

Thinking about it that way made me feel much better instantly.

However, Lin Chen is not the only one who wants to obtain these Five Elements Spiritual Fruits.

Although the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit had a miraculous effect on Lin Chen, it also had a great effect on the other disciples.

While Lin Chen was muttering to himself, the other disciples had already started moving.

At this moment, a group of outer sect disciples around them were already scrambling towards the registration area like madmen, afraid that if they were even a step too late, the spot would be gone.

Seeing this, Lin Chen knew that if he was any slower, he would really miss his chance. He slipped on his feet and moved with remarkable agility, quickly disappearing into the crowd.

In order to register earlier, he even secretly used his elbow to push aside several junior brothers who were blocking his way, and forcefully cut to the front of the line.

While waiting in line, Lin Chen's emotions were going through a rollercoaster.

He had long since forgotten his anger, and his mind was filled with images of his cultivation greatly increasing after obtaining the spiritual fruit, dominating the arena, and finally trampling Gu Changyuan under his feet.

The more I thought about it, the more excited and delighted I became, and even the people queuing in front of me seemed more pleasing to the eye.

"Hurry up! What are you dawdling about? Registering is taking so long!"

Lin Chen stood on tiptoe, constantly peering ahead, wishing he could fly directly to the table.

Finally, it was his turn. Lin Chen straightened his old but clean outer disciple robe, straightened his back, and walked to the registration table with a longing look on his face.

A confident smile graced his face, a mysterious confidence that the championship was undoubtedly his.

He slammed his identity token on the table with a loud, energetic voice.

"Senior brother, I'm here to sign up."

The senior student in charge of the assessment was writing and drawing in the booklet with his head down when he heard the noise and lazily raised his head.

He was just giving it a routine glance, but when he saw Lin Chen's face and then looked at the name on the table, his brows furrowed instantly, almost twisting into a knot.

After seeing who it was, the senior brother put down his pen and leaned back slightly.

"Lin Chen, right?"

Lin Chen looked on with anticipation, thinking that as long as he successfully registered, his chance to turn his life around would be getting closer and closer.

But before he could finish speaking, the senior brother tapped a finger on the table, then casually pushed Lin Chen's identity token away, speaking in a nonchalant tone.

"You're not qualified."

"Take your things and go back first. Improve your cultivation and then come back to participate in the next sect competition."

"You can't participate this time, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's smile instantly froze. He stood there, stunned, his face filled with disbelief. He had never imagined this would happen when he was daydreaming.

Looking at this senior brother, even his speech became stuttering.

"No...not qualified? How could that be? I have a lot of talent, don't you think?"

"Senior brother, are you sure you're not mistaken? Didn't this competition say there were no restrictions on cultivation level or aptitude? How come I'm disqualified? Why don't you take another look and see if there's a mistake?"

As I was talking, a surge of anger welled up inside me.

The useless guy at the third level of Qi Refining has already signed up, and the fat guy who can't even hold a sword steadily has also passed.

Why is it that he, the chosen one, is deemed unqualified?

Seeing Lin Chen's expression, the senior brother rolled his eyes, too lazy to even explain, and waved his hand with a contemptuous look on his face.

"Don't waste my time, next one."

This action made Lin Chen unable to contain his anger any longer.

He suddenly took a step forward, placed his hands on the table, stared intently at his senior, and loudly questioned him.

"Why should I? What's wrong with me? I have a sincere heart for cultivation, and I also have outstanding talent! I haven't violated any of the sect's rules!"

"Whether it's perseverance or potential, I'm no less capable than anyone here! What makes you think I'm unqualified? That's unfair!"

Lin Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, and his spittle even landed on his senior brother's face.

Upon hearing these words, the senior's face turned ugly, and he then reached out and wiped the spittle off his face.

Then he pointed at Lin Chen's nose, his voice suddenly rising eight octaves so that all the disciples queuing around him could hear him clearly.

"Hey kid, why can't you understand human language?"

"Originally, as your senior, I didn't want to say anything unpleasant, just to save you some face."

"But now you're taking advantage of me, aren't you?"

At this point, the senior brother couldn't help but sneer, looking Lin Chen up and down with disdain.

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror to see what kind of person you are?"

"You piece of trash, you think you can participate in the competition?"
