In the center of Maple Leaf City, there is a huge square with a fighting arena in the middle.

Today is the day of the martial arts competition for the younger generation in Maple Leaf City, attracting countless onlookers and creating a bustling scene.

"boom!"

Lin Chen struck a family representative genius with a single sword strike, sending him flying backward, coughing up blood and glaring at Lin Chen with resentment.

"Who else?"

Lin Chen stood on the high platform and spoke calmly.

"This good-for-nothing is too arrogant."

"Don't think you can be arrogant just because you have some skills."

The younger generation of Maple Leaf City were furious when they saw Lin Chen's calm demeanor.

"Dissatisfied?"

"Come and fight."

Lin Chen glanced around, his eyes filled with disdain, his tone still that of someone who was always so irritatingly nonchalant.

He enjoys seeing these people get used to him but can't do anything about it.

"Useless trash, have the guts to fight someone at the Qi Condensation Realm."

A Qi Condensation Realm cultivator cannot actively challenge a Body Tempering Realm cultivator, but a Body Tempering Realm cultivator can challenge a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

Lin Chen defeated all the geniuses at the peak of the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm in Maple Leaf City; if they went up there, they would only be throwing their lives away.

But Lin Chen's gaze, which looked at them as if they were clowns, made them grit their teeth in hatred.

Not to mention young people, even the older generation loathed Lin Chen and their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

They were determined that if Lin Chen dared to challenge the Qi Condensation Realm, they would kill him on the arena.

"A bunch of useless trash, they don't even have the courage to fight, how can they talk about climbing to higher peaks?"

Lin Chen scoffed, feeling utterly delighted.

For a long time, he was called a good-for-nothing by these people, but now he can finally fight back.

Lin Chen was pleased, but everyone in Maple Leaf City was furious, including the Lin family.

Lin Chen has offended all the families in Maple Leaf City. How will they ever be able to maintain their foothold in Maple Leaf City again?

The elders of the Lin family all had gloomy faces and cold eyes as they looked at Lin Zhantian.

"Hahaha!"

Lin Zhantian laughed and said, "Chen'er is just a bit young and impetuous. We older generation shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation."

"Clan leader, isn't it a bit inappropriate for the young clan leader to do this?" the Third Elder said with a gloomy face.

Because of Lin Chen's matter, their Lin family's shops were jointly suppressed by various families in Maple Leaf City, resulting in heavy losses.

There are also younger people who are beaten and injured as soon as they go out, and many have even gone missing.

They were so worried about this that their hair almost turned white.

Lin Chen, on the other hand, didn't keep a low profile; instead, he became even more arrogant.

Is this because they want the Lin family to die soon enough?

"What's wrong with it? The competition was fair. They lost because they were less skilled. Who can they blame?"

Lin Zhantian had a big smile on his face, clearly still immersed in the joy of Lin Chen defeating all the ninth level Body Tempering Realm cultivators in Maple Leaf City.

He remained completely unfazed by the combined suppression from all the families in Maple Leaf City.

The reason is simple: he is at the peak of the ninth level of the Divine Sea Realm.

Furthermore, with Lin Chuqing as his backer, he doesn't even consider Maple Leaf City a threat.

As long as Lin Chen is happy, he doesn't care if he turns the entire Maple Leaf City upside down.

He can handle it.

"Third Elder."

The elder shook his head at him, signaling him to calm down.

The Third Elder swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Gu Qing, do you dare to fight me?"

At this moment, Lin Chen pointed his sword at Gu Qing, his aura imposing.

Wow...

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at Lin Chen.

They were just trying to provoke Lin Chen, hoping he would challenge them.

Why did Lin Chen go crazy and challenge his own people?

"cough!"

Gu Qing, who was sipping tea and chatting with Lin Chuqing, choked a little.

Lin Chuqing took out a handkerchief and wiped his face naturally and skillfully before looking at Lin Chen.

His eyes had a chilling, captivating light.

At this moment, Lin Chen seemed like a complete stranger to her.

Previously, she only felt that Lin Chen's personality was a bit extreme, coupled with his youthful nature, and that he had always disliked Gu Qing, which she could understand.

But now it seems that this was not just being extreme, but clearly being arrogant and unruly.

Gu Qing helped Lin Chen so much, even giving him the Blue Ice Lotus Seed. Not only was Lin Chen not grateful, but he also wanted to defeat Gu Qing in front of the whole city.

Isn't this repaying kindness with hatred?

Moreover, in full view of everyone, Lin Chen actually wanted to fight among himself?

What was Lin Chen thinking?

This is actually what everyone is wondering about.

Even if there's a grudge, can't it be resolved privately?

They're not afraid of losing face by fighting amongst themselves in front of them.

[Detected that Lin Chen harbors malice towards the host and is plundering the host's luck. Triggered Super Anti-Armor, plundering 1,000 units of Lin Chen's luck in return.]

Lin Chen touched his chest; the feeling of suffocation returned.

Fortunately, it won't affect his strength; at most, he'll feel bad, but he can grit his teeth and bear it.

"Okay, I accept the challenge."

Gu Qing didn't find it strange.

After all, which overpowered protagonist doesn't fight among himself?

Seeing the protagonist defeat the family's former number one genius from the protagonist's perspective is incredibly satisfying.

"Gu Qing, do you dare to bet with me that I will definitely defeat you?"

Lin Chen looked at Gu Qing and said calmly.

But I was extremely excited; I had finally waited for this day.

Today, he will defeat Gu Qing in front of the entire city, force him to annul the engagement, and then expel him from the family.

"What bet? You want me to break off my engagement with your sister?"

A mocking glint appeared in Gu Qing's eyes.

"That's right, do you dare?"

Lin Chen said calmly.

"Chieftain, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Qing did not answer Lin Chen, but instead looked at Lin Zhantian and asked.

That bastard has been indulging Lin Chen's reckless behavior, causing losses to the Lin family while Lin Chen reaps all the benefits.

He's still sitting there like he's waiting to reap the benefits, but Gu Qing isn't about to let him have his way.

He's not a brainless villain who, after being provoked by the protagonist, rolls up his sleeves and rushes off to his death.

Gu Qing will make use of her own advantages.

Even if we can't sever ties between Lin Chuqing and Lin Zhantian today, we must at least make Lin Chuqing give up helping this father and son.

"Uh...this..."

Lin Zhantian didn't want to answer because he wanted the two of them to break off their engagement, and even wanted Lin Chuqing to marry Lin Chen.

Unfortunately, Lin Chuqing did not agree to annul the engagement.

If Gu Qing were to agree to the bet, that would be even better.

Regardless of winning or losing, he suffered no loss whatsoever.

"Father, you..."

Lin Chuqing was intelligent and quick-witted; she immediately understood what was going on.

"Chu Qing, I think Gu Qing is indeed not suitable for you."

With the atmosphere already built up, Lin Zhantian had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Heh!" Gu Qing sneered, a thousand wicked schemes flashing through his mind. As long as Lin Zhantian made a statement, things would be much easier.

"Father, my affairs are none of your concern."

Lin Chuqing was born with knowledge of this; she had memories from birth and knew that she was not Lin Zhantian's biological daughter. Therefore, she did not have much affection for the father and son.

Giving Lin Zhantian the Flood Dragon Armor and cultivation resources was simply to repay the kindness of his upbringing.

She will do her best to help Lin Zhantian and his son in the future.

But she would never let the two of them dictate her life.

"Okay, okay."

Although Lin Zhantian was unwilling, he did not want to fall out with Lin Chuqing.

"Gu Qing, this is a duel between us. Are you scared?"

Seeing this, Lin Chen panicked and immediately resorted to his usual tactic: provocation.

In his view, no one could withstand his provocation.

[Detected that Lin Chen harbors malice towards the host and is plundering the host's luck. Triggered Super Anti-Armor, plundering 1,000 units of Lin Chen's luck in return.]

"afraid?"

"My marriage to your sister is a match made in heaven. Even if we die, we will never give up."

Having achieved his goal, Gu Qing didn't want to waste any more time arguing with him. With a wave of his hand, the Golden Tiger Halberd appeared in his grasp.
