Borrow my talent? Wood Release Sharingan stuns the school beauty.

Wooden house.

After the breakthrough, Lin Chen slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within his body. With a slight exertion, he could sense the spiritual energy flowing through his meridians, several times more refined than before.

"Late stage of Martial Master..." Lin Chen muttered to himself, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Within half a day of entering the secret realm, he broke through from the peak of martial artist to the late stage of martial master. Such speed would absolutely astound everyone outside.

If it weren't for the Qi Condensation Fruit given to him by Su Muxue, it might have taken him a while longer to break through to the late stage of Martial Master.

The competition for the martial arts college entrance examination is extremely fierce. Jiangcheng is just a small place. Even if the top 100 in the preliminary rounds go to the provincial capital, they may not be able to stand out.

Only by being stronger can one gain a foothold among many powerful individuals, secure a place in a top martial arts academy, and obtain more abundant cultivation resources.

Now that he has broken through to the late stage of Martial Master, his confidence has greatly increased. With this strength and two talents, Lin Chen is no longer satisfied with merely passing the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination.

He wants to achieve a higher ranking so he can get into the top academy and access more resources.

Just then, Su Muxue's voice came from the cave entrance: "Congratulations, you have successfully broken through to the late stage of Martial Master."

Lin Chen turned around and saw Su Muxue standing at the cave entrance, her face showing a happy expression as she congratulated him.

"Thanks to your Qi Condensation Fruit."

Lin Chen's tone softened a bit: "Without it, it would take me a lot more effort to break through to the late stage of Martial Master."

"It was nothing. After all, if you hadn't helped me, I might not have been able to escape. Consider this Qi Condensation Fruit my token of gratitude."

"The Qi Condensation Fruit is only effective after eating the first one; keeping it is a waste."

Hearing Su Muxue's words, Lin Chen felt a bit more favorably toward her.

With these thoughts racing through her mind, Su Muxue signed a spiritual contract, preventing her from revealing any secrets about his talent.

Lin Chen planned to tell Su Muxue about the abilities and uses of the Sharingan.

This world has many items with special abilities.

Lin Chen came up with a way to obtain the kaleidoscope ability ahead of time.

If he could possess the kaleidoscope ability during the martial arts college entrance exam, his strength would be unimaginable.

If Su Muxue can get her hands on the item, it will be a good thing for both of them.

"By the way, there's something I want to tell you..." Lin Chen had just started to speak when he suddenly felt a slight tremor under his feet. Then, a rumbling sound, like thunder, came from afar and rapidly approached.

The tremors grew stronger, and the roaring sound became clearer, mixed with the howls of ferocious beasts, filled with a chilling aura.

Su Muxue's expression changed drastically, her smile vanishing instantly. Her spiritual energy surged rapidly as she warily looked towards the direction from which the roaring sound came: "Something's wrong. That sound...it's a beast tide!"

Lin Chen's expression also darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and he instantly understood the reason.

Without a doubt, this beast tide was definitely heading towards him. It must have been Zhao Yu and Yan Jing's doing; those powders could attract ferocious beasts.

Lin Chen was almost certain that these ferocious beasts were inextricably linked to Zhao Yu.

"They're here for me," Lin Chen said coldly.

"Zhao Yu tampered with my body; those powders attract ferocious beasts. This beast tide is what he used to deal with me."

Upon hearing this, Su Muxue's eyes flashed with surprise, but then became serious: "Zhao Yu is so ruthless that he would not hesitate to incite a beast tide to deal with you."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Su Muxue actually knew why Zhao Yu had done this.

It seems that this time the ferocious beast is targeting Lin Chen.

The truth is that Zhao Yu resented Lin Chen because he had borrowed Lin Chen's talent at the time.

Therefore, I bear a responsibility in this matter.

"The ferocious beasts are not far from here now. Although this cave is hidden, if we are surrounded by the beast horde, we will be worn down sooner or later. We absolutely cannot sit and wait to die."

Lin Chen nodded, his eyes ruthless: "That's right, rather than passively defending, we should take the initiative."

"I just broke through to the late stage of Martial Master, and the power of Wood Release has increased a lot. The Sharingan's genjutsu is also more effective against ferocious beasts. With you by my side, we might be able to solve this wave of beasts."

Su Muxue recalled the third-tier ferocious beast that she and Lin Chen had just killed together.

She felt that Lin Chen's words made a lot of sense.

The two left the cave, found a suitable spot, and prepared to annihilate the entire beast horde.

"One mid-stage Tier 3 ferocious beast, seven Tier 2 ferocious beasts, and fifteen Tier 1 ferocious beasts—it's a small-scale beast tide!"

Soon, these ferocious beasts followed the powder on Lin Chen's body and came to their vicinity, preparing to launch an attack.

"Attack!" Lin Chen shouted, his figure flashed, and his spiritual power exploded at full force.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

Dozens of sharp wooden spikes, accompanied by a piercing sound, shot towards the ferocious beast at the forefront like a torrential rain.

At this moment, Lin Chen was already in the late stage of Martial Master, and the penetrating power of the wooden spikes was far greater than before. First-tier ferocious beasts could not withstand them at all, and second-tier ferocious beasts would die on the spot if they were hit in a vital spot.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" After a few crisp sounds, several first-tier ferocious beasts fell to the ground, their chests pierced by wooden spikes, blood flowing incessantly, and they instantly lost their breath.

Su Muxue also made her move at the same time, her figure nimbly weaving through the beast tide, her three-tomoe Sharingan firmly locking onto the movements of the ferocious beasts.

"Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

Thick vines with barbs instantly wrapped around the two second-tier ferocious beasts, binding them tightly and tightening their grip before they could struggle.

Lin Chen used Wood Release: Wood Splinter Technique again.

The wooden spikes pierced their vital points precisely, cleanly and efficiently eliminating the two second-tier ferocious beasts.

The two worked together seamlessly, almost instantly killing first and second-tier ferocious beasts. Each Wood Release skill they unleashed could take the lives of several ferocious beasts.

In addition to using Wood Release, the two also occasionally used Sharingan genjutsu.

A crimson aura enveloped several ferocious beasts, instantly plunging them into an illusion. Their eyes became glazed, and they began to wildly wave their arms and fight amongst themselves.

"roar!"

A second-tier ferocious beast broke free from the illusion's control, roaring as it pounced towards Su Muxue, its sharp claws carrying a fierce gust of wind, aimed directly at her face.

Su Muxue's eyes turned cold. Without panicking, she slightly shifted her body to the side, dodging the attack while simultaneously launching an attack on the beast's heart.

"Wood Release: Explosive Spear Tree!"

Soon the ferocious beast let out a mournful scream and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Chen remained focused and locked his gaze on the mid-stage third-tier ferocious beast, which was frantically crashing into the surrounding trees and charging towards the two of them.

"Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!" Lin Chen shouted, and thick tree trunks burst from the ground, quickly wrapping around the limbs of the mid-stage third-tier beast, trapping it in the center and restricting its range of movement.

The mid-stage Tier 3 beast roared, its aura surging, and it frantically rammed into the tree trunk. The trunk shook violently, yet remained unbroken. Lin Chen seized the opportunity to launch an attack: "Wood Release: Explosive Spear Tree!"

Several wooden poles, each as thick as an arm, shot with fierce force toward the vulnerable parts of the mid-stage third-tier beast, such as its abdomen and eyes.

Although the defense of a mid-stage Tier 3 ferocious beast is strong, these parts are ultimately vulnerable. After being hit by the wooden spear, it let out a painful roar, and red blood seeped from its body.
