Chapter 173 - 173: I’m With You
At this moment, Lin Chen was in high spirits.
He was no longer as wretched as before.
He had leveled up!
He was no longer a First Rank.
Now, he was a Second Rank!
Firstly, when facing a group of Second Rank geniuses, Lin Chen’s level suppression would be much lower.
This decreased the pressure significantly.
In addition, with Lin Chen’s current strength, he could indeed look down on these so-called geniuses of the various races.
In Lin Chen’s opinion, only the top few people on the Golden Rankings could compare to him in terms of attribute adjustments during the First Rank. However, he would definitely be about 20% superior in stats than them.
In addition, Lin Chen’s three pets were all Epic-ranked, and Vermillion Bird was a Mythical pet.
And so far, Lin Chen had never encountered anyone with three pets with higher quality than him.
It was probably not bad already for these geniuses to have a legendary pet.
Therefore, in terms of pets, Lin Chen had an advantage of more than 20%.
Lastly, there was equipment.
Currently, Lin Chen was still wearing First Rank equipment, but his attributes and gems were all maxed out. Among them, the Divine Primordial Heaven’s Secret’s attributes were even stronger!
Lin Chen felt that even Immortal Wei, Jingchen, Ponga, Tiger Jingtian, and the other contestants high ranked on the Gold Ranking List were not as powerful as his current attributes.
Of course, Lin Chen would be in high spirits!
It was said that at Rank four, he could add another pet fusion.
At that time, Lin Chen would only become stronger!
Even better, Lin Chen could be said to be covered in forbidden spells now.
He had just comprehended saber qi and saber intent!
There was also sword qi, sword momentum…
Therefore, Lin Chen now held the Divine Primordial Heaven’s Secret in his hand and stood in front of the stone tablet, looking down on all living beings.
He stopped pretending.
He had laid his cards on the table.
‘I, Lin Chen, am… invincible!’
‘Do whatever you want!’
‘It doesn’t even matter if 1 have my back turned on you!’
Of course, Lin Chen was not acting pretentious on purpose.
It was because the golden tablet had yet to disappear.
There was also a wisp of saber intent on the totem behind the golden tablet.
Lin Chen was seizing the time to comprehend it!
In fact, to Lin Chen, the so-called comprehension was to forcefully engrave that wisp of saber intent into his Spirit Ocean. This way, his saber intent would be very pure.
Seeing that Lin Chen did not hide from anyone and actually faced the golden tablet in public, as if he had entered a state of forgetting himself, Immortal Wei’s gaze was very complicated.
Her first place on the Gold Rankings was gone.
She had just sat on it.
Her butt had yet to warm up.
In just a short while, she was overtaken.
Moreover, Lin Chen cleared the golden tablet in less than ten minutes.
The others had only just begun to immerse themselves in solving the question.
Wasn’t this speed too fast?
Early-stage Second Rank.
But he was ranked 65th on the Purple Gold Rankings!
Didn’t that mean that Lin Chen could now fight with some old fellows at the peak of Rank three?
It was simply terrifying!
Thus, Immortal Wei’s gaze was very complicated.
Of course, she could not be happy!
This was because Lin Chen’s existence had directly broken the monopoly of the Immortal Spirit Race on the Potential Rankings.
Originally, her and Jingchen’s rankings on the Golden Rankings could deter all the other races.
But now, this deterrence…
It was gone.
It was only because the human race had Lin Chen.
Now, the ranking of the Golden Rankings was like this.
Lin Chen was first.
She was second.
Jingchen was third.
Tiger Jingtian was fourth.
Ponga was ranked fifth.
Was the Immortal Spirit Clan stronger or the Human Clan stronger now?
“Lin Chen, does what you said previously still count?”
Immortal Wei suddenly asked.
As soon as she spoke, everyone present was shocked.
Because…
She was Immortal Wei!
The future Holy Maiden of the Immortal Spirit Race.
She was a famous cold goddess!
There was once a busybody who said that if there was a Beauty Ranking in the level two battlefield, Immortal Wei would definitely be first.
First of all, she was indeed very beautiful.
That pair of cicada wings was once the characteristic of some gods.
The Immortal Spirit Race was one of the few races that were directly recognized as relatives by some gods.
Thus, not only did Immortal Wei have a strong background, but her race was also very strong.
In the past, Jingchen had always appeared as Immortal Wei’s guardian, so many males of various races actually hated Jingchen in private… Just as Lin Chen had said, it was the hatred of snatching one’s wife!
Because of this, Jingchen had been secretly scolded countless times.
But in reality, he was just a bootlicker beside Immortal Wei.
Immortal Wei had always been cold.
Some busybodies had calculated that after Immortal Wei came to the empire’s battlefield, she had only talked to outsiders for less than ten sentences.
This even included people from the Immortal Spirit Race like Jingchen.
Even the commander-in-chief of the Immortal Spirit Race had said that Ji Wei was good at everything, but she did not even give him face. When he, the commander-in-chief, spoke to her, she would just nod and leave.
And now, how much had Immortal Wei said to Lin Chen?
She even took the initiative to talk to Lin Chen.
She even asked Lin Chen if his previous promise counted.
However, Lin Chen turned his head in a despicable manner. He had just comprehended saber intent, so he opened his eyes and asked with a sharp gaze, “What do you mean?”
“You…”
Immortal Wei was speechless.
Was this guy so used to running his mouth that he didn’t even remember what he said ten minutes ago?
“Didn’t you say that we can join forces as strong allying with the strong?” Immortal Wei continued to ask: “Does it still count now?”
“Oh, that!”
Lin Chen was amused and said, “1 did have this intention previously, but didn’t Jingchen on your side disagree? Then let’s continue to be enemies! Moreover, 1 don’t believe that you’re still willing to solve the questions with me. After all, you all know that you can’t keep up with the speed at which I solve the questions even if you stick your butt in the air..”
