Of course, most of it was because during the battle with Qin Hao, the thousand-year stone heart essence deep within his body was stimulated, enhancing his physical strength, fortifying his limbs and bones. Now, it was effortless for him to surpass Lin Kun.
Moreover, Lin Kun's speed was clearly not fast. After Lin Chen perford Thunder Roar Step, Lin Kun couldn't keep up at all. In other words, in terms of both speed and strength, Lin Chen could easily crush Lin Kun.
If he were to employ divine skills and swordsmanship, combined with Lin Chen's ability to wield Sword Intent, he could definitely subdue Lin Kun in a single move. To be honest, Lin Chen no longer had high expectations for Lin Kun.
However, seeing Lin Kun brimming with fighting spirit, Lin Chen felt it would be impolite to dampen his enthusiasm. He just planned to finish off Lin Kun quickly in his mind, so he could face his next opponent.
What Lin Chen didn't know was that he had already attracted a lot of attention at this mont.
In the corner of the fighting arena, all sect leaders were observing the match, occasionally comnting and pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of the disciples.
At this mont, Li Yaoyang was also quite pleased because his Sunlight Sect had three disciples at the ninth level of the Divine Scholar stage, and among them, Ning Yan had just showcased great power, defeating a seventh-level Divine Scholar disciple with a re light palm strike. Naturally, people from other sects couldn't help but offer their complints, which made him feel quite elated.
It was then that he suddenly noticed a familiar figure. He had offered this person to join the Sunlight Sect in the past, but the offer was declined, and the individual joined the Heavenly Sword Pavilion instead.
This person was Lin Chen.
Seeing Lin Chen's cultivation at the fourth level of the Divine Scholar stage, he sneered to himself. No matter how talented he is, he's only at the fourth level, while his opponent is at the sixth level. The match would likely end within three moves.
So he focused his attention, consciously or unconsciously, on Lin Chen's side and quickly noticed the powerful strength Lin Chen showcased, which didn't match his cultivation level.
At this point, others also noticed Li Yaoyang's peculiar expression and followed his gaze to discover the anomaly that was Lin Chen.
Sect Leader Xiao Rou of the Waterfall Sect glanced at Lin Chen, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said:
"This disciple looks familiar, seems to be one of the Ascenders we recruited back then, right, Elder Sword Bone?"
Mid-sentence, Xiao Rou turned her gaze towards Sword Bone, asking so.
Upon hearing this, Sword Bone frowned, then carefully looked and nodded, saying:
"Yes, Sect Leader Xiao, that person is nad Lin Chen, an Ascender who joined our Heavenly Sword Pavilion just over a month ago!"
At this ti, Li Chanfeng also noticed Lin Chen and lightly nodded:
"Indeed, although only at the fourth level of the Divine Scholar stage, his foundation is solid and sturdy. Even if his realm is a bit lower, he will definitely achieve success in the future if not for a ranking this ti!"
"Elder Sword Bone, you've recruited an excellent disciple for us!"
At this mont, Sword Bone looked a bit conflicted, seemingly wanting to say sothing but stopping then, and then transmitted a ssage to Li Chanfeng:
"Pavilion Master, this disciple is the one with strong soul power but hasn't subdued any treasured swords, Lin Chen!"
Li Chanfeng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this but soon cald down:
"Sword Bone, there are many paths in cultivation, not necessarily having to cultivate soul power!"
"But, our Heavenly Sword Pavilion doesn't have soul techniques. If he has soul techniques, perhaps you as the Pavilion Master could..."
"Enough! Do not ntion this matter again!"
Seeing signs of anger in Li Chanfeng, Sword Bone quickly said:
"Yes, yes, I will comply with the Pavilion Master's command!"
Sword Bone realized his eagerness made him overlook that Lin Chen was also a fellow disciple of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and personal interests should not harm the hearts of other disciples.
This actually involved a secret of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, which was about the Black Dragon Emperor Sword!
It was known that the Black Dragon Emperor Sword contained a Divine Emperor-tier sword spirit, and although Li Chanfeng was a Divine Emperor, he cultivated a very basic level of soul techniques, thus his soul power was not very strong. This made it hard to subdue the Black Dragon Emperor Sword, due to its violent resistance.
Moreover, there were many sword spirits in the Sword Grave. If all disciples cultivated an advanced soul technique, subduing treasure swords would be much easier. But soul techniques, especially those of higher levels, were incredibly rare treasures!
Therefore, when Sword Bone discovered Lin Chen's extraordinary soul power, his first thought was about soul techniques because Lin Chen's soul power was too exceptional for his level, seemingly only achievable through cultivations in soul techniques.
However, this wasn't the reason; it was simply because Lin Chen had transmigrated from another world.
Consequently, Sword Bone and several other elders had thought of getting Lin Chen to contribute soul techniques, believing it would strengthen the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. Although it seed justified, relationships in the divine realm could break at any mont, especially concerning rare high-tier soul techniques.
Fortunately, Sword Bone had now realized this and wasn't eager to pursue Lin Chen's soul techniques, partly due to Lin Chen showing his formidable strength and talent.
At this mont, the fight between Lin Chen and Lin Kun continued. Lin Kun now completely acknowledged Lin Chen, seeing him not only as an equal but even as a stronger opponent. Although it seed unbelievable, it was true. Lin Chen's strength at the fourth level of the Divine Scholar stage put imnse pressure on Lin Kun, who was at the sixth level!
Lin Kun let out a deep breath and then suddenly unleashed his aura again. Holding his long staff tightly, fiery-red divine essence instantly coiled around it like fiery snakes, exuding great montum.
Feeling the growing montum from Lin Kun, Lin Chen also took it seriously. In his perception, if he continued using his fists against the current attack from Lin Kun, the outco would be dire for him.
So he flipped his palm, and an ancient-styled treasured sword appeared in his hand.
With the Tianyan Ancient Sword in hand, Lin Chen's aura transford, changing from a once violent energy to a sharp one, making it seem as if he himself was an unsheathed treasured sword, gleaming with a fierce edge.
Lin Kun also sensed the aura emitted by Lin Chen, yet at this mont, he was like an arrow ready to be released, unable to stop.
