Lin Chen had just brushed past Wu Dong, but he felt an extrely dangerous sensation emanating from him.
At that mont, Tang Bao'er approached Lin Chen, "Brother Chen, I'm up next, rember to cheer for , okay!"
Lin Chen grabbed Tang Bao'er, "Bao'er, forfeit this match, you're no match for him."
"Forfeit?" Tang Bao'er was taken aback upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
"Yes, forfeit," Lin Chen said gravely.
"Brother Chen, I can do it, don't worry," Tang Bao'er said unwillingly.
Lin Chen shook his head, "No, you're not his opponent."
Zhao Xiaohua also spoke up, "Bao'er, I've also noticed Wu Dong, his strength is terrifying. It's better for you not to go on stage."
The impatient referee on the stage shouted, "Hey, are you guys fighting or not?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "We forfeit."
Although Tang Bao'er felt sowhat unwilling, with both Lin Chen and Zhao Xiaohua advising against her going on stage, she reluctantly agreed.
Wu Dong glanced at Lin Chen with a cold look and smirked, then leapt off the stage.
"Who exactly is this guy to give such an unfathomable feeling."
Lin Chen's perception was extrely sharp; unless the other's strength was much greater than his, he could usually discern their cultivation level.
There were only two possibilities for Lin Chen's inability to discern Wu Dong's cultivation level: one was that Wu Dong was indeed very strong, and the other was that he possessed sothing that concealed his cultivation level.
Regardless of the reason, Lin Chen was unwilling to let Bao'er take the risk.
With Tang Bao'er's forfeiture, the top four were determined, consisting of Lin Chen, Bai Ling, Zhao Xiaohua, and Wu Dong.
All the spectators stared tensely at the big screen because the semifinals were next.
On the big screen, the cursor flickered continually, and soon the list for the semifinals was decided.
Looking at the match-up list, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Xiaohua's face.
This was the outco Zhao Xiaohua had wanted the most.
In tomorrow's match, Zhao Xiaohua would concede defeat, and Bai Ling would face the strong opponent Wu Dong.
Wu Dong versus Bai Ling—it was bound to be a fierce battle for Bai Ling with Wu Dong's strength.
Looking at the big screen, Sect Leader Xuankong's expression turned ugly; this was not the sequence of events they had planned.
"How could this happen?" Xuankong muttered to the young person beside him.
"I don't know either, it should have been Lin Chen facing Wu Dong, I have no idea how it got changed to Zhao Xiaohua," the young person replied.
Bai Ling's face also showed a hint of solemnity. If Lin Chen could sense the terror emanating from Wu Dong, how could Bai Ling not know?
"Damn it, how could those bastards ss this up," Bai Ling said angrily.
At this mont, the most pleased person was Lin Chen. He was the one behind all this.
"Popularity System, thank you!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Host, there's no need for such politeness over such a trifle! But be careful, host, I detected sothing similar to on Bai Ling," the Popularity System reminded.
"Do you an to say that Bai Ling also has a system like yours?" Lin Chen was startled.
"But don't worry, host. His system is just a first-generation product; it's a grade lower than !" the Popularity System asserted with pride.
As Lin Chen was conversing with the Popularity System, Zhang Yu suddenly rushed over in a hurry.
"Lin Chen, there's been trouble in the Kunlun Mountains?" Zhang Yu asked.
Lin Chen was startled and asked, "What happened?"
Zhang Yu sighed and said, "All the contestants who were eliminated and sent down the mountain this ti have disappeared on their way."
"Disappeared?" Lin Chen was stunned for a mont.
"Yes, through surveillance footage, there are only images of them leaving from here, but they were not seen at the exit," Zhang Yu said gravely.
"Where did you get this information?" Lin Chen asked.
"Just now, our Family Head called personally to warn to be careful. This matter is still under secret investigation, so not many people are aware of it," Zhang Yu said.
"Alright, I understand, thank you," Lin Chen patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder.
"Heh, Lin Chen, you have to give it your all. I'm still waiting to see you beat up that Bai Ling and then take the sister-in-law back ho," Zhang Yu laughed.
"By the way, where is Xu Ye?" Lin Chen looked around.
Zhang Yu shook his head: "I haven't seen him since your match ended."
"Damn, he couldn't have run into trouble, could he?" Zhang Yu's face suddenly turned pale.
Lin Chen also frowned: "Zhang Yu, we've been together these past few days, and I feel there's sothing strange about the Kunlun Mountains."
On the way back to the dormitory, Lin Chen noticed many experts from Kunlun and various families on alert in the mountains; the whole of Kunlun was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
It seed the Kunlun Mountains were indeed not very peaceful, Lin Chen frowned involuntarily.
Lin Chen was supposed to have a bye in tomorrow's semi-finals, but he still did not dare to be careless.
Having just advanced to the Dan Yuan realm, Lin Chen needed to solidify his foundation, so he did not sleep that night but instead entered the Tianyan space to cultivate.
Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised to discover that after his advancent, he could now enter the fifth layer of the Prison of Ti to cultivate.
Ti ticked away, and although Lin Chen cultivated all night, it was equivalent to a week's worth of cultivation for others.
A night's cultivation allowed his cultivation level to settle firmly at the early stage of the Dan Yuan realm.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Just then, a series of explosions suddenly ca from outside.
"Damn it! Sothing's happened," Lin Chen felt a sinking feeling in his heart and hurriedly left the Tianyan space.
Outside, there was a blaze of fire, and the area was already filled with people.
"Brother Chen?" Zhao Xiaohua and Tang Bao'er breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Chen.
At that mont, Zhang Yu also squeezed through the crowd: "Lin Chen, I found out that the explosion ca from Wu Dong's room."
Wu Dong's room, Lin Chen frowned.
Using his Insight, he looked towards Wu Dong's room and saw that the entire room had beco ruins, evidently, a fierce fight had taken place there.
"I heard that Wu Dong killed all the eliminated contestants to increase his strength. Yesterday, the Sect Leader and several elders went to capture him, but he managed to escape," soone said.
"What? Even the Sect Leader and the elders couldn't catch him?"
Lin Chen frowned with a hint of skepticism in his eyes.
Today, Bai Ling's opponent was supposed to be Wu Dong, but with Wu Dong now involved in this incident, Bai Ling would receive a bye.
Killing to enhance strength wasn't impossible, but Wu Dong would have no reason to take such a huge risk to commit cris in the Kunlun Mountains.
Lin Chen increasingly felt that this was a conspiracy—if soone was making Wu Dong take the bla to advance Bai Ling, then the person behind it was extrely insidious.
"Most importantly, who is this crazed killer? What is his purpose for killing those Martial Artists who were sent down the mountain?"
And who was this Wu Dong exactly? It had to be known that even Lin Chen would find it hard to escape from a real Void Master and several elders, which spoke volus of Wu Dong's formidable strength.
"Why would the people of Kunlun target Wu Dong?" A series of questions made Lin Chen feel increasingly uneasy.
