Chapter 80 - 80 Long Breath Stage New Student
The huge square fell into a dead silence!
Everyone heard Qiao He's shout.
It was spiritual essence!
The symbol of a Long Breath Stage cultivator!
Lin Shen had actually broken through to the Long Breath Stage!
Even if someone suspected they had misheard it, when they looked at Qiao He lying motionless on the ground, they no longer had any doubts.
Qiao He was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Transformation and had exquisite martial techniques, but he was knocked out by Lin Shen with a casual slap.
No one would believe Lin Shen wasn't at the Long Breath Stage!
After a long while, the crowd came back to their senses and instantly caused a huge commotion.
"Lin Shen has actually advanced to the Long Breath Stage!"
"Damn! That was so fast!"
"Unbelievable! It's only been a month!"
"Is this guy a monster? His strength has increased so quickly!"
Exclamations rang out continuously.
Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
No one expected Lin Shen to have already broken through to the Long Breath Stage.
"Shit... Lin is incredible!"
Yang Zhongyi looked at Lin Shen in shock.
Su Nian couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He had expected that Lin Shen's strength would definitely increase this month, but he had never expected Lin Shen to advance to the Long Breath Stage!
At this moment, Su Nian felt like he was in a dream.
"As expected..."
Zhao Xueying muttered as she looked at Lin Shen with complicated feelings.
After meeting Lin Shen at the True Martial Pavilion, she suspected Lin Shen might have already broken through to the Long Breath Stage, which was why he went to buy Condensing Pills.
That speculation was too far a stretch that she had never been able to believe it.
Only then did Zhao Xueying confirm her guess.
After the surprise, she was filled with shock.
Zhao Xueying felt she was talented enough. She had been called a genius since she was young, but now, she was simply too pale in comparison with Lin Shen.
"How is that possible..."
Yan Xing stood rooted to the ground in a daze, his face filled with disbelief.
No matter what, he didn't expect Lin Shen to already become a Long Breath Stage cultivator.
"Did you see that? Lin Shen is incredible, right?"
Xue Feng sighed and elbowed Chong Yanhe's waist with a faint smile.
"How is it? Do you still want to fight Lin Shen?"
The corners of Chong Yanhe's eyes twitched slightly, and he was already speechless.
"Fight? Fight my ass!"
Even Qiao He had been knocked out by Lin Shen with a casual slap.
Chong Yanhe had lost his battle against Qiao He. If he went up, he would only end up in an even more sorry state!
Since the establishment of the Nine Yang Academy, there had never been a new student who had reached the Long Breath Stage!
The highest record any student had maintained so far was to break through to the Long Breath Stage two months after entering the academy.
It had been five years since the record was created.
Who would have thought the record would be broken by Lin Shen today?
Furthermore, he had directly risen by a stage!
"Is he even human..."
"Awesome!"
"Qiao He didn't lose in vain!"
"Are all the new students nowadays so talented?"
Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao's expressions turned ugly when they heard the discussions around them. They couldn't help but clench their fists.
The development of the situation was completely beyond their expectations.
This way, even if they defeated Lin Shen here today, the latter's status and reputation in the academy wouldn't be affected at all!
A Long Breath Stage new student!
Anyone who wasn't stupid could see Lin Shen's potential and value.
Even if he lost the guided battle, the institute head and tutors would never look down on him!
The commotion in the square lasted for a while before Meng Dong recovered from his shock. He called a few disciples to carry Qiao He down and looked at Lin Shen with a complicated expression.
"Junior Brother Lin, you've won this round!"
"Thank you."
Lin Shen nodded calmly. There was no excitement or joy on his face at all.
Meng Dong looked at Lin Shen and threw him Qjao He's black iron.
"That's the promised bet."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Meng."
Lin Shen put away the black iron and looked calmly at the seniors.
Although he didn't speak, everyone understood what he meant at the moment.
"Who's next?"
Silence.
This time, it was the senior disciples’ turn to look at each other.
In particular, the remaining nine people representing the Yellow disciples were even more speechless.
After a moment of stalemate, seven of them turned to look at Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao.
In the past guided battles, because the opponents were only a group of new students at the Qi Transformation Stage, the representatives sent by the Yellow-level disciples were often at the Qi Transformation Stage as well.
At most, they would include a Long Breath Stage cultivator as insurance.
And this year, because of Lin Shen, two Long Breath Stage cultivators, Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao, unprecedentedly appeared among the representatives.
This backup plan was to ensure that the "plan" was foolproof.
According to past years' experience, Long Breath Stage disciples usually didn't need to make a move. Just Qi Transformation Stage disciples were enough to defeat new students.
Even Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao didn't think they needed to fight.
However, the backup plan would actually be put into use!
When Lin Shen revealed the strength of the Long Breath Stage, the other Qi Transformation disciples were no longer his match.
Only those at the Long Breath Stage could deal with him.
Right now, only Peng Xinyuan and Kuang Bao could fight Lin Shen.
"What should we do? Xinyuan, are we still going to fight him?"
Kuang Bao asked in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
Peng Xinyuan's expression changed several times. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, we have to make a move! Young Master Yan told us to defeat Lin Shen ruthlessly in the guided battle. As for the rest, it's not something we need to consider!"
Kuang Bao thought about it and agreed. Although the development of the situation was beyond their expectations, what they wanted to do remained unchanged. They had to defeat Lin Shen.
As for whether the impact would be as expected, it wasn't something they had to consider.
In short, they didn't want to achieve anything, but they also didn't want to make any mistakes.
With that in mind, Kuang Bao made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "In that case, I'll deal with Lin Shen!"
Peng Xinyuan glanced at him. "Are you sure?"
"Don't worry. He has just advanced to the Long Breath Stage. I can easily deal with him!"
Kuang Bao smiled confidently.
His confidence was genuine.
Although Lin Shen's advancement to the Long Breath Stage was shocking, one could understand after thinking about it carefully.
Kuang Bao advanced to the Long Breath Stage for half a year. His stage was stable, and he was proficient in martial arts. Lin Shen had just advanced not long ago and hadn't even had the time to cultivate weapon-type martial arts. It was clear who was the superior one. Peng Xinyuan quickly understood this and nodded at Kuang Bao.
Kuang Bao's expression turned serious as he strode toward the center of the square.
"Lin Shen, let me fight you!"
Wow!
Even though they had already guessed it, when they saw Kuang Bao, a Long Breath Stage disciple, enter the arena with their own eyes, the new students couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Many new students looked at Lin Shen with vague reverence and admiration.
No matter what the outcome of this battle was, in their eyes, Lin Shen's status was already on par with those senior students..
