Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 273 - Rising to Prominence

Chapter 273: Rising to ProminenceTranslator: Flying Lines

Edited by Lord Immortal
Bang!
Tan Long flew out uncontrollably and fell hard on the ground outside the platform.
He was so frightened that he couldn’t believe he was so easily defeated by a single saber strike! Lin Xun was as terrible as he was in the rumors!
At this time, the sound of breathing was heard in the whole hall. They were all scared by this scene. Initially, they believed Tan Long had put on a false front, and his real fighting prowess was able to compete with Lin Xun.
Who would have thought that Lin Xun would crush Tan Long out with only one blow, which was easier than swatting flies!
It fucking ended too fast!
Many people were stunned and could not believe that the anticipated battle was over, just like that.
On the White Jade platform, Wei Lingzhen and Du Dongtu looked at each other and showed a bitter smile. This Lin Xun was really more powerful than they had expected!
Governor Liu Wujun squinted his eyes but did not say anything. Tan Long’s defeat was indeed unexpected. Combined with the combat effectiveness shown by Lin Xun in the past, it was reasonable for him to win so easily.
“Damn it, this fellow is an evil star!”
“I know Tan Long; he is a first-rate figure in the Human-gang Realm. Now, he is defeated in a single move. We can imagine how powerful Lin Xun really is!”
Those who had not yet come to the stage could not calm down at the moment. Although the battle ended quickly and did not allow them to see Lin Xun’s real fighting power, it could be seen from his absolute momentum that the ordinary top-ranking figures couldn’t be Lin Xun’s opponents at all!
Perhaps, only the peak ones in the Earth-gang Realm were able to suppress Lin Xun!
The whole venue was silent, and all eyes were looking at Lin Xun standing on the platform with strange expressions and fluctuating moods.
At this moment, the battles that were going on in the other ninety-nine platforms seemed to have gone unnoticed.
In this tranquility, Lin Xun suddenly straightened his body. His eyebrows were like blades, and his eyes were like electricity, exuding an aura of considering the whole world beneath his feet.
What was he going to do?
Many people had their pupils shrink.
Lin Xun lifted the huge saber in his hand and put it in front of him. The dark blade brought about a long and bright ring of light.
Lin Xun looked at the whole site, gathered his breath in the lung, and announced, “Aha, It’s my pleasure to be here. In fact, the secret why I can easily win this battle is in the saber.”
The whole audience was stunned. What was Lin Xun talking about?
“Excuse me, Childe Lin Xun, where did you buy this saber?”
Someone shouted abruptly.
Lin Xun said with a smile on his face, “A nice saber can last forever, accompanying you for life. My saber is made by the Master of Spiritual Tattoos in Golden Hall. It is a powerful middle-grade Human-rank spiritual weapon, and I like it very much. After this, I’ll only choose weapons in Golden Hall!”
“Did you say ‘Golden Hall’?”
The man yelled.
“Yes, Golden Hall!”
Lin Xun appeared serious when discussing this topic.
As soon as the voice fell, there was a lot of uproar on the site. Everyone’s expressions looked remarkably different.
“Damn, this is to promote the fame of Golden Hall!”
Someone suddenly came to his senses.
“Which Golden Hall is it? It’s… too smart to invite Lin Xun to advertise it!”
Some people were amazed.
“Bah! What a Shame! This is the Province Test, which is seen by the whole empire. Now, Lin Xun is being obsessed with money, and he publicizes something irrelevant to the test on such an occasion. What does he think of the Province Test? Does he still have the dignity and spirit of being a practitioner?”
Others were indignant.
“Why, why do I worship such an idol? His lofty image in my heart collapsed at this moment; my heart is aching.”
Many teenage girls voiced sadness and thought that Lin Xun’s action was too disrespectful and disappointing.
There were also many people who pointed their finger at Golden Hall and thought that this business was just lard-covered. They dared to put their ideas on the holy Province Test. It was a blasphemy to this grand meeting.
Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao, and the others who participated in the examination were also stunned. Was Lin Xun too poor these days? How could such a humiliating and shameful thing be done by him?
Wasn’t it easy to make money with his present reputation and strength?
Others speculated that the Golden Hall must have something to do with Lin Xun; otherwise, Lin Xun would not tarnish his name in this way.
This conjecture was quickly accepted by many people. If Golden Hall had an inseparable relationship with Lin Xun, then all this could make sense.
On the White Jade Platform
Governor Liu Wujun’s face became gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure. This was monkey business!
However, there came a genuine laugh from Wei Lingzhen, “I’m curious about the owner of Golden Hall. He was able to invite Lin Xun to endorse them, which is not an easy thing for any commercial party.”
Liu Wujun was moved by the comment, and he listened to Du Dongtu on the other side, “Indeed, Lin Xun has recently become famous in Mist City. It is impossible for him to do such dishonorable things for just money.”
Liu Wujun suddenly remembered that Lin Xun was more than just an outstanding practitioner in the Human-gang Realm. Behind him, there was a monstrous force that could make more than ten forces fear him and let Huang Jianchen leave in dismay.
How could people like him advertise a chamber without any rhyme or reason?
Liu Wujun also remembered that in the last centennial celebration of Keystone Business, they had arranged a chief seat for Lin Xun right beside him.
He was not a simple person!
It seemed… a bit inappropriate if they really charge Lin Xun in the Province Test.
Liu Wujun frowned and eventually buried the slightest discomfort in his heart. He decided to look on coldly. After the test, he would check the details of the Golden Hall.
The stage was in an uproar. At this moment, everyone seemed to forget about the Province Test and was attracted by Lin’s unexpected action.
Lin Xun, who had already stepped down from the platform and heard all kinds of voices mixed up in the scene, could not help laughing. No matter what they said, the name of Golden Hall could spread all over the entire Mist City in one day with their discussions.
…
Leaving the test venue, Lin Xun set off Mist College directly.
The battle with Tan Long had allowed him to pass the first round of assessment smoothly, and he just needed to wait three days to participate in the second stage.
In such circumstances, of course, Lin Xun would not stay here. It was not because he wasn’t interested in the other’s performance, but due to wherever he went, there were countless different eyes staring at him as if he were a monkey and various comments of praise and derogation.
This made Lin Xun feel awkward; he could only choose to leave temporarily to avoid the limelight.
When he stepped out of the gate of Mist College, he saw it was still crowded with people everywhere.
They were not qualified to enter the venue, but it didn’t mean that they knew nothing about the tests. Just as Lin Xun’s battle ended, the news had already been transmitted here at the first moment, causing a great sensation.
“What? Lin Xun is so weird! How can he help promote a chamber at the expense of his own repute?”
“God, Golden Hall is really fucking talented. This time, with Lin Xun’s propaganda, it’s hard for them to remain unknown!”
“Although Lin Xun is a strong fighter, I doubt his character. I’ve decided not to regard him as an idol from now on!”
“Look at your distorted ugly appearance. If I were Lin Xun, I would like you to make such a wise decision as soon as possible.”
The news passed from mouth to mouth with steaming reviews about the propaganda Lin Xun had done for Golden Hall, like a burning wildfire, spreading at an incredible speed.
Lin Xun was speechless and felt lucky that no one recognized him, allowing him to depart secretly.
Through this scene, Lin Xun clearly knew that there was no need for worries as only a single day was enough to disseminate the name of Golden Hall in the whole Mist City.
…
Instead of returning home, Lin Xun planned to visit Golden Hall.
Beyond his expectations, when he arrived, he saw heaps of figures in front of the entrance, which blocked the street.
Most of them were just listening to the highlights of the Province Test and came to look at what Golden Hall really looked like.
Some people were filled with righteous indignation and came to criticize them. They believed that their “unscrupulous” advertisement destroyed the reputation of the Province Test and insulted the image of Lin Xin in their minds.
Looking at the Golden Hall, Gu Liang had already returned from Mist College and was dispatching attendants, sweating to maintain order.
Golden Hall was going to be all the rage!
Lin Xun had made a direct judge. No matter its reputation was good or not, at least the name of Golden Hall was being spread and known by people. The business wouldn’t be as destitute as before.
As long as the reputation spread, there was no worry about flows of customers at all. Provided that Gu Liang managed it properly, this opportunity was enough to expand Golden Hall rapidly!
Of course, Lin Xun also knew that the rise of Golden Hall would inevitably arouse vigilance and pressure from other chambers in the city, but this could be left to Gu Liang himself to deal with since he was a talent in commerce.
If Gu Liang couldn’t deal such things well, he’d better shut down Golden Hall as soon as possible.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xun turned back to the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists. He asked Chu Feng to send some people to Golden Hall to help in keeping the discipline.
From this day on, Golden Hall wound surely fall into the whirlpool of public opinion and become a place of public concern. It was impossible for Gu Liang to keep everyone in check solely by his present strength.
The consequences would be unpredictable if someone with bad intentions took the opportunity to upset the situation.
Chu Feng had also heard about it and did not hesitate to accept. He immediately sent a large number of guards to Golden Hall.
After doing this, Lin Xun didn’t prolong his stay and left in a hurry. Stepping out of the door of the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, he was stunned by a familiar figure appearing in his vision.
