Chapter 1616 - 1617: I Refuse
Even sitting far away in the audience, one could still feel that suffocating cold menace.
It must be said, this Lan Ling is far stronger than both Xiao Yong and Lan Dian.
This attack was both swift and vicious, almost blocking all of Lin Chen's escape routes.
Seeing this scene, the crowd let out a gasp of astonishment.
If this slash hits Lin Chen, it might even cut him directly in two.
"Lin Chen!"
In the audience, Xu Wei's face suddenly changed, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
"Haha, brat, go to hell. Dare to oppose our Lan family, you deserve to die under my brother's special move."
Lan Dian's eyes sparkled with the delight of revenge.
He even seemed to have already seen the tragic image of Lin Chen being split in two.
However, suddenly, Lan Ling's face turned ugly.
Because he discovered that Lin Chen in front of him had disappeared once again.
"Your moves are full of flaws, you're too naive to think you can kill me."
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind Lan Ling.
"Not good!"
Lan Ling felt a rush of wind behind him, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
He wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Lin Chen's palm struck heavily on Lan Ling's back.
"Boom!"
Lan Ling's body was propelled by Lin Chen's palm for more than ten meters and fell directly.
He had just stood up when he coughed up blood, his face as pale as paper, looking as miserable as one could get.
Looking at the fallen Lan Ling, the audience fell silent once more.
It was so quiet around that even a pin drop could be heard.
How is this possible!
In many people's eyes, Lan Ling's strength should be second only to the few monstrous talents of the Eastern Spirit Region, yet such a powerful person was easily knocked down by the young man before them.
If Lin Chen's defeat of Xiao Yong just now was considered a sneak attack, this was a true confrontation with Lan Ling.
Even more shocking is that Lin Chen, with his first move, directly knocked Lan Ling down.
Lan Ling was defeated, and so miserably.
In the eyes of the crowd, Lin Chen's defeat of Lan Ling and Xiao Yong seemed no different; both were simple and straightforward.
"How is this possible!" Lan Dian was almost dumbfounded.
"My brother actually lost, how could my brother lose."
Looking at his brother lying on the ground, Lan Dian's mind was almost fried.
He really couldn't accept this outcome.
Who is his brother, someone like the War God, in his eyes his brother wouldn't lose, and no one could defeat his brother.
However, he never imagined, even in his wildest dreams, that Lin Chen, with just one move, knocked his brother off the pedestal.
His brother lost, and utterly so.
In the audience of the Xu family, everyone's face was filled with ecstatic expressions.
Especially Xu Guang, who knew he had placed the right bet.
Lin Chen's strength was unimaginably formidable, and even facing Wang Hui, he definitely had the power to fight.
Recalling Lin Chen's ambitious words of winning the championship, they initially thought he was bragging, but now they realized he truly had the backing.
"Xu Wei, you truly did a great service for our Xu family this time." Xu Guang said excitedly.
Xu Wei also had a smile on her face: "I knew Young Master Lin wouldn't let us down."
Lin Chen looked at the fallen Lan Ling, exuding a commanding presence as he gazed at the competitors' seats.
"Who else dares to challenge?"
The competitors' seats were silent, not one responded.
Challenge, with even Lan Ling defeated, who else would dare challenge Lin Chen?
Instantly, the entire martial arts arena fell silent.
Everyone looked at Lin Chen who was like a War God.
Just then, suddenly a white-clad youth jumped onto the stage.
Seeing the youth, Lin Chen was stunned, someone actually dared to challenge.
The youth jumped onto the stage, a faint smile on his lips, and even began to applaud.
"Not bad, kid, your strength is quite impressive, from now on be a guest of our Wang family." The young man smiled lightly, looking at Lin Chen as if his words were a royal decree.
"That person is Wang Ming!" someone finally recognized the identity of the other person.
Wang Ming is the second son of the Wang family, with strength second only to the Wang family's Wang Hui.
At this moment, the audience and competitors' seats buzzed with commotion, eyes filled with envy and jealousy focused on Lin Chen.
The Wang family is one of the four major families in the Eastern Spirit Region, unimaginably powerful, and the conditions to become a guest of the Wang family are extremely stringent.
However, once you become a guest of the Wang family, your status can be said to rise along with the tide.
Many martial artists in the Eastern Spirit Region dream of joining the Wang family and becoming their guest.
Yet being selected by the Wang family is exceedingly difficult.
No one expected Lin Chen to be given such an opportunity.
It could be said that as long as Lin Chen nods, his status and training resources would be top-notch in the Eastern Spirit Region.
With the Wang family as a backer, one could almost do whatever they wanted in the Eastern Spirit Region.
Seeing this scene, Lan Dian's face turned extremely unpleasant.
Once Lin Chen becomes a guest of the Wang family, seeking revenge would be nearly impossible.
At this moment, the most tense was the Xu family.
The Xu family had always wanted Lin Chen as an ally, but now the Wang family extended an olive branch to him.
If Lin Chen agreed, there was nothing the Xu family could do.
Because the Wang family is far too strong for the Xu family.
Moreover, the Xu family members were almost certain that no one could refuse the temptation of the Wang family.
Xu Guang gave a bitter smile: "Alas, it seems heaven is dooming our Xu family!"
Xu Wei also gave a helpless, bitter smile.
At this time, Lin Chen did not speak.
Seeing Lin Chen not responding, Wang Ming frowned slightly and teased: "What, too excited to know how to answer?"
"Why should I be excited?" Lin Chen said calmly.
Lin Chen really disliked Wang Ming's gaze, especially that arrogant attitude, and the tone as if he could control everything.
"Because you've been favored by our Wang family, it's your honor, even your luck." Wang Ming said proudly.
"What if I were to refuse?" Lin Chen said coldly.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Wang Ming's eyes focused: "No one has ever refused our Wang family's invitation, nor dared to refuse."
Lin Chen responded with a faint smile: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in joining your Wang family or being any sort of guest."
What?
Hearing Lin Chen's response, everyone in the martial arts arena was stunned, some even doubted if they heard wrong.
Someone actually dared to refuse the Wang family's invitation, is this guy crazy or just stupid?
The Wang family, they are the giants of the Eastern Spirit Region; refusing them is akin to offending them, becoming their enemy.
Thinking about the Wang family's formidable strength, many people shook their heads.
Some even shuddered.
Though Lin Chen is strong, having defeated Xiao Yong and Lan Ling, it doesn't mean he can challenge the entire Wang family.
He's done for, that kid is finished.
Almost everyone shook their heads, feeling sorry for Lin Chen.
