Chapter 1617 - 1618: Let's Fight Then
Wang Ming's gaze suddenly turned icy, tightly staring at Lin Chen.
"Are you sure about your choice? Let me tell you, the Wang family's background is beyond your imagination, and the consequences of rejecting our Wang family are something you cannot bear." Wang Ming said coldly.
Many people heard Wang Ming's words and gasped.
The Wang family cares greatly about its reputation, and Lin Chen's refusal of Wang Ming in public essentially meant disrespecting the Wang family.
The consequences for those daring to disrespect the Wang family are always dire.
Thinking of Lin Chen's fate, many people silently shook their heads, while many others looked at Lin Chen with eyes of pity.
And the person in question is Wang Ming.
On the Eastern Spirit rankings, Wang Ming is ranked tenth in power.
It's known that those who could get onto the Eastern Spirit rankings are almost all young powerhouses in the Eastern Spirit domain.
And Lin Chen had just defeated Lan Ling, who is ranked lower, but Wang Ming is in the top ten.
Although Lin Chen easily defeated Lan Ling, no one believes he stands a chance against Wang Ming.
Wang Ming's words were already clear, if Lin Chen submits, all is well, but if he refuses, Wang Ming would have to cripple Lin Chen.
At this moment, Xu Wei's breathing became slightly rapid.
Her thoughts were very conflicted, she wanted Lin Chen to reject the Wang family but feared his rejection.
It's known that rejecting the Wang family is equivalent to publicly slapping the Wang family in the face, would the Wang family let him go?
Wang Ming looked playfully at Lin Chen and sneered, "Well, can you give me your answer now?"
His face always carried a feeling of superiority and confidence.
Wang Ming could even be certain Lin Chen would not refuse, nor dare to refuse.
Not just Wang Ming, everyone in the audience believed Lin Chen would definitely join the Wang family.
The status and power of the Wang family are tempting, accepting means having good cultivation resources and techniques, perhaps even a strong background.
But if he refuses, he would face Wang Ming's challenge. Considering Wang Ming and Lin Chen's strength comparison, this is definitely a suicidal choice.
Thus, people saw Lin Chen's bowing his head and submission as the most normal and rational choice.
"I'm not interested." Lin Chen said calmly.
Lin Chen knew his martial arts path was just beginning, he still had many things to do, how could he become a retainer for the Wang family and be bound in the small Eastern Spirit domain?
A dream as big as the heart, clearly, this place is not the end of Lin Chen's dream.
Boom!
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the entire martial arts stage fell into silence.
Everyone stared at Lin Chen in disbelief, thinking they heard wrong.
This kid is crazy? He actually rejected the Wang family's invitation again.
Lin Chen's choice was too crazy, too bold.
In many people's eyes, Lin Chen's choice was akin to playing with fire, even seeking death.
If the first rejection of the Wang family could be considered as unprepared.
But after Wang Ming stated the Wang family's power and the consequences of refusal, Lin Chen remained defiant, this could only be considered madness.
"Are you fighting? If you're fighting, stay. If you don't want to fight, you can step down." Lin Chen said coldly.
"Gosh, is this kid challenging Wang Ming? He's crazy, this kid is definitely crazy."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the people present couldn't help but tense their eyes, this guy is too arrogant, actually daring to provoke Wang Ming.
He clearly knows Wang Ming is from the powerful Wang family, clearly knows Wang Ming's power, but still chooses to challenge.
This guy is too wild, too proud.
Although Lin Chen had just defeated Xiao Yong and Lan Ling, Wang Ming is obviously a different level of opponent!
Many people shook their heads, this kid is too wild, but in the immortal realm, such wild ones are the first to drop.
"Kid, you really want to court death!" Wang Ming said coldly.
"You blabber too much, if you're fighting then fight, if not, get lost." This time Lin Chen showed no mercy, directly insulting.
"You... truly an ignorant brat, daring to insult me, but congratulations, you've successfully angered me."
Wang Ming's face twisted sinisterly, as violent spiritual energy surged out.
Lin Chen could feel Wang Ming's momentum, much stronger than Xiao Yong and Lan Ling.
Peak Immortal Monarch realm, indeed this level of power was already rare among the young generation in the immortal realm.
Wang Ming stared coldly at Lin Chen, theoretically he need not be on stage, his strength was a seed rank advancing directly.
But this Lin Chen was too arrogant, daring to humiliate the Wang family in the eyes of all.
So he must act, to cripple this kid and let everyone know the consequences of defying the Wang family.
Just as Wang Ming was about to act, suddenly a graceful figure jumped up to the stage.
"Wait a minute!" The speaker was none other than Xu Wei.
"Xu Wei!" Wang Ming frowned.
"Wang Ming, can you spare Lin Chen for my sake." Xu Wei said blushing.
Wang Ming and Xu Wei had met once at a family gathering where the latter immediately caught his eye.
However, Xu Wei didn't take to Wang Ming's arrogance so she rejected him.
This time, for Lin Chen, Xu Wei had to stand out.
Seeing Xu Wei's appearance, Wang Ming's mouth curved into a cold smile.
"For your sake, it's a matter of how much face you can give me." Wang Ming laughed coldly.
Xu Wei bit her lip, reluctant but looking at Lin Chen beside her finally decided: "If you spare Lin Chen, I'm willing to be your girlfriend."
"Are you serious?" Upon hearing Xu Wei, Wang Ming's face immediately showed a hint of joy.
"Serious, but you must spare Lin Chen and leave him alone." Xu Wei bit her silver tooth.
Wang Ming nodded: "Alright, since that's the case, I can give you this face, but I want him to apologize to me and the Wang family."
Upon hearing Wang Ming's words, Xu Wei's face lit up with joy, turning to Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, apologize to Wang Ming, the Wang family is not someone you can provoke."
At this moment, Xu Wei was determined, even if the Xu family failed this time, she couldn't let Lin Chen lose his life.
Lin Chen had already helped the Xu family too much, she didn't want Lin Chen to be crippled by Wang Ming because of the Xu family.
At this moment, Wang Ming's cold gaze was fixed on Lin Chen.
"Kid, I'm sparing you this once for Wei's sake, hurry and apologize, I'm very busy." Wang Ming said smugly.
Lin Chen glanced at Xu Wei and smiled lightly: "I appreciate your kindness, but my time is tight too, if it's a fight I'll stay."
"What did you say?" Upon hearing Lin Chen, murderous intent surged in Wang Ming's eyes, his face suddenly darkening.
"Kid, you really don't know a good thing when it's in front of you!" Wang Ming's gaze grew more sinister.
