At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

The middle-aged man was stared at by the Jiu Xuan Empress. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, sweating on his forehead. He no longer dared to contradict her, and said in a low voice: "The power of the Jiu Xuan Empire is not something I can compare with. I just hope you don't Force me, otherwise, I will only die!"

"You want to kill the fish and break the net, but are we still afraid?" the old woman said coldly.

At this time, a beautiful woman in white clothes and a dashing figure walked up to the middle-aged man, tugged on his clothes, and whispered: "Master, forget it, you can't afford to offend him!"

This person was clearly Ye Han, whom Lin Chen had met at the Alchemist Guild. At this time, she was wearing a long red dress that made her skin look like snow. Her face was exquisite and delicate, and her every frown was unparalleled.

Next to her, there was a handsome and tall young man. The young man looked at Lin Chen and frowned slightly.

Ye Han shook his head at the middle-aged man, pleading in his eyes, and then looked at Lin Chen again.

The middle-aged man sighed and finally compromised: "That's all, since Han'er has already begged for you, then we will spare you once! However, please remember it clearly, and you are not allowed to be disrespectful to His Majesty again in the future!"

After saying that, he took his apprentice and left.

Lin Chen watched the group of people leave, thinking in his mind, should he take the opportunity to sneak in and snatch the Fire Spirit Orb?

After all, he did need this.

And just when Lin Chen was thinking about it, suddenly, he noticed that Ye Han glanced at him when he left.

Although it was just a quick glance, Lin Chen still noticed that Ye Han's eyes looked at him with resentment and pain, as if he was blaming himself, as if he had betrayed her.

This made Lin Chen puzzled, and he secretly wondered whether Ye Han had a grudge against him?

Lin Chen was too lazy to think too much. He glanced at the Jiu Xuan Empress beside him and said, "Madam, how about I accompany you in to participate in the Fenglei Academy's disciple recruitment test?"

"Oh? Are you willing to enter Fenglei Academy?" Empress Jiuxuan looked at Lin Chen in surprise, with a happy expression on her face.

Although, she has no interest in Fenglei Academy. It can even be said that she hates Fenglei Academy.

Because Fenglei Academy once had friction with the Jiuxuan Empire.

Fenglei Academy, as the largest behemoth in the Fenglei Continent second only to the Shengwu Empire, is unparalleled in strength and holds a selection competition every fifteen years.

And in the selection competition, the first place winner will be canonized as an "Imperial Warrior" by the Jiuxuan Empire!

In Fenglei Academy's selection competition, all forces in Fenglei Continent sent outstanding candidates to participate, but every time, the first place in Fenglei Academy's selection competition belonged to the Jiuxuan Empire.

Because the Jiuxuan Empire has cultivated many beings who have transcended the realm of transcendence, even though Fenglei Academy is an eight-star force, the Jiuxuan Empire is still not afraid at all.

Empress Jiuxuan also knew that Lin Chen was not willing to stay in the imperial capital and be an ordinary person all his life, so she did not object to Lin Chen participating in the selection.

When she heard that Lin Chen was going to participate in the admissions competition, she was surprised: "You also want to participate? You're not doing it for me, are you?"

"Of course not." Lin Chen rolled his eyes and thought to himself, this Jiu Xuan Empress is full of shit, how could she want to participate in such a selection for her sake.

He really wanted to participate in the selection, for no other reason than that he was interested in the cultivation techniques on Fenglei Continent and wanted to learn from them.

"Hehe, that's good."

When Empress Jiuxuan heard that Lin Chen said it was not because of her, she felt relieved. Then she looked at Lin Chen with a smile and said, "Then you come with me."

She didn't ask why Lin Chen wanted to go to Fenglei Academy, and she wasn't worried about Lin Chen going there to cause trouble. Perhaps, she felt that Lin Chen simply didn't have the guts.

Lin Chen nodded in agreement.

…

Jiuxuan City is one of the most prosperous cities in the empire. It covers a vast area, has magnificent buildings, spacious streets, busy traffic, and a huge flow of people, making it very lively.

As soon as Lin Chen and Empress Jiuxuan stepped into the city gate, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Wow! Look, is that Empress Jiuxuan? She's back too!"

"Who is the man next to Empress Jiuxuan? It seems that I have never seen him before? There is a man in Jiuxuan Empire. How come I haven't seen him before?"

"I think he is just an ordinary person, probably a poor scholar. But to be able to accompany Empress Jiuxuan, his identity should not be simple. I wonder if he is the bodyguard of Empress Jiuxuan!"

…

As soon as Empress Jiuxuan entered the city gate, she attracted everyone's attention. She was used to the attention of everyone, so she glanced around lightly and ignored it.

However, Lin Chen beside her was being pointed at and started to talk about.

"Hey, look, this scholar seems to be the guy who defeated Zhang Yunjie yesterday! Why is he here too?"

"Hey, who cares what he's doing here! He probably wants to try his luck!"

"Haha! That's right!" Someone immediately echoed, with a contemptuous tone.

Lin Chen glanced at the people around him and frowned. These guys had too bad mouths.

However, precisely because it was blocked by the crowd, it did not arouse others' suspicion.

Empress Jiuxuan understood the irony in their words and felt a little unhappy.

Lin Chen hugged Empress Jiuxuan's waist and walked directly towards the imperial city, paying no attention to the comments around her.

His character is that if someone offends me, I will repay him tenfold. Since these people dare to insult him, how can he swallow his anger!

After Lin Chen and Empress Jiuxuan entered the palace, they parted ways. Empress Jiuxuan went to the Imperial Palace of Jiuxuan deep inside the palace, while Lin Chen walked towards the square of Fenglei Academy.

The square is huge enough to accommodate millions of people, and it is already full of people.

There were many tables and chairs in the square. Some were sitting there drinking tea and chatting, some were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed and meditating. There were also some people who were chatting in twos and threes and talking about cultivation matters. The scene was very noisy.

Lin Chen found a corner, sat down and began to observe the people in the field.

Suddenly, there was a noise, and it turned out that a handsome man was walking towards Lin Chen.

This man has a thin face, a well-proportioned and tall figure, and is wearing a white robe. He looks elegant and easy-going.

However, his eyes gave people an evil and chilling feeling.

"Are you that Lin Chen?" The man stared at Lin Chen and asked.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at the man, and was slightly shocked when he discovered that this man had reached the early stage of the first level of transcendence.

"I'm Lin Chen, what's wrong?" Lin Chen said.

There was a touch of sarcasm on the man's lips, and he said: "I heard that you are going to take the assessment today on behalf of Empress Jiuxuan?"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "That's right. Is it possible that you also want to take the exam and enter Fenglei Academy?"

"Haha!" The man laughed, as if he had heard some joke.

Lin Chen thought to himself, although this man is only at the early stage of the first level of transcendence, he is obviously not simple. He is definitely a disciple of a certain super sect. No wonder he would say such things.

Before he could ask again, the other party continued: "If I remember correctly, your martial arts qualifications are at the rubbish level, right? Are you sure that with your qualifications, you are qualified to take part in the assessment?"

"There are only a few people in this world who are qualified to be students of the Holy Martial Academy. Do you think you are worthy?"

"It's better to get out of here and save yourself from embarrassment later!"

His tone was arrogant, and he didn't take Lin Chen seriously at all.

"Oh?" Lin Chen looked at him.

When the man saw the displeasure on Lin Chen's face, he looked smug. He was originally going to Fenglei Academy, but his master told him not to cause trouble. After all, although his strength was relatively powerful, it was not as good as Transcendence Five or Six. Compared with the upper-level characters, it is still far behind.

However, he was unwilling to waste too much effort on Lin Chen, so he was ready to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"Really? If that's the case, then I'll give it a try!"

Lin Chen shrugged, showing no signs of being irritated by the other party, but eager to give it a try.

"Tch! You idiot who doesn't know how to live or die! If that's the case, then I will let you understand that in this Jiuxuan Empire, you have absolutely no hope." The man curled his lips and sneered.

"Then do it, you're welcome!" Lin Chen said.

"How brave! Then I'll give you a ride, but don't hate me. I just want you to understand that you will never catch up with me, and you are not even qualified to become my defeated enemy!" When the man spoke, there was a look in his eyes. There is deep contempt in it.

Lin Chen shook his head and sighed, this guy is really boring.

He was too lazy to pay attention to this person, his figure flickered and disappeared from the place in an instant.

"Huh?" Upon seeing this, the man's pupils shrank sharply, his face became solemn, and a black mist suddenly surged around his body and turned into a huge bat.

The bat's wings are spread out and are about half a meter long and wide.

The bat flapped its wings at an extremely fast speed, flying dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye. However, as soon as it took a few steps, Lin Chen already appeared in front of it.

"This...how is this possible! Your speed..."

The man behind the bat looked like he had seen a ghost, and his body retreated violently.

Plop!

He fell into the water.

Boom!

There was an explosion, and huge waves were set off on the lake. A human-shaped vortex emerged on the lake, and a fish flew out of it and fell to the ground.

The man was wet and miserable.

"I won!"

Lin Chen looked around and said loudly.

At this moment, he already understood that the person in front of him was a water-type beast.

However, not everyone present was as stunned as Lin Chen when they saw the scene in front of them.

After a moment, uproar broke out.

Everyone was talking, some were shocked by Lin Chen's terrifying speed, and some were despised by the man's cowardice. Various voices gathered together.

"Oh my god! That kid actually won! Who is he?"

"Damn, is he cheating? Otherwise, how could he be so fast? That guy is probably only at the second level of transcendence, but that kid is at the first level of transcendence!"

"Damn, this is too nonsense, isn't it? Who is that guy?"

"..."

Everyone was talking a lot, and many people were suspicious, because this answer was really beyond common sense.

"you win!"

The man gritted his teeth, glared at Lin Chen, then snorted coldly and jumped into the lake.

He felt that he had been sneak-attacked by Lin Chen. Otherwise, how could he have lost? This kind of embarrassing thing must not be admitted and he must escape as soon as possible.

Seeing that Lin Chen had won, everyone in the audience showed excited expressions and looked at Lin Chen with eyes filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

"This damn guy!" Yun Ni frowned, her eyes disgusted.

"Hmph! He has no shame and dares to sneak attack on others. Fortunately, he is still a man!"

"That's right, bah!"

"Shut up! What do you know? I think he just likes Princess Jiuxuan and wants to eat swan meat!"

...

Lin Chen's ears are very sensitive, so he naturally heard what these people said. He immediately raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and walked towards these gossiping guys.

These people are all admirers of Princess Jiuxuan, and they are used to being domineering in this palace.

At this moment, seeing Lin Chen staring at them, they immediately shut their mouths and looked at Lin Chen with fear. Although they were angry, they didn't dare to speak.

They were all ordinary people, and they also knew Lin Chen's strength, so they didn't dare to fight with Lin Chen at all, fearing that they would be killed instantly.

But the man who was called the first genius of the Jiuxuan Empire still stood there without moving, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked playful.

"What do you want to do? Could it be that you want to rob us?" A young man in brocade clothes looked at Lin Chen and shouted coldly.

"Yes! You still dare to rob? Do you believe that we can report to the police and let the government arrest you and punish you?" said another young man.

Lin Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then he almost burst out laughing.

Oh my God, is he being blamed? He was obviously just passing by, but they said they were going to rob them, making him look like a bandit.

He cursed in his heart, it seems that he has to wear a bamboo hat when he goes out in the future, so as not to encounter such weird things all the time.

The Nine Mysterious Queen heard what the two young men said, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Our prince is an existence beyond the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm, and he is a martial arts master!"

"No matter how strong you are, you are not our prince's opponent!"

"..."

After this person finished speaking, the others nodded in agreement.

Lin Chen was stunned. He had heard before that in addition to the Nine Mysterious Queen, there were three martial arts masters in the Nine Mysterious Empire.

Although the Nine Mysterious Queen was quite powerful, she was not a martial arts master.

"Haha! Great! That's perfect, we don't have to wait until tomorrow! Let's have the final battle today! Who will go first?"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, Lin Chen suddenly laughed out loud. His face was proud, like a master of the generation, with an air of looking down on everything.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, wondering if they were seeing things.

He actually wanted to duel with three super strong men?

"How dare you! Who do you think you are? You still want to duel with us? It's just wishful thinking!" The face of the Nine Mysterious Empress changed and she scolded.

"Oh? Then the three of you should join forces, so it's better to save my time!" Lin Chen shrugged.

"You..." The pretty face of the Nine Mysterious Empress flushed. It was the first time that she was looked down upon by someone like this, and she was so angry that she was violently up and down.

However, the power that this guy just showed was indeed terrifying.

The news that the three martial arts masters of the Nine Mysterious Empire dealt with an unknown fifth-level strong man in the Transcendent Realm was really damaging to the reputation of the Nine Mysterious Empire.

"Since you want to die, you can't blame us!"

The face of the Nine Profound Empress was icy. Although she was unwilling to fight this strange young man, she knew that if she refused to fight him, he would resent the Nine Profound Empire.

Moreover, she was confident that even if she was defeated, she would not be afraid of Lin Chen at all with the powerful defense and attack of the seventh level of the Nine Profound Sacred Scripture.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
