Martial Master

"Lin Tian, if you want to, you can come up."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Chen said to Lin Tian, who was eagerly waiting nearby.

"Is that okay?"

"It's just a sparring session, what's not okay?"

"Alright then, I'm coming up."

Lin Tian took a deep breath.

Whoosh!

A cold aura emanated from him.

Buzz!

In the void, several shadows seemed to appear in an instant, attacking Qin Chen from different directions.

The shadows looked intangible, yet they radiated an astonishing aura, as if each one were real.

"Eh, you brat have already cultivated the Wan Ying Tian Jing to the first level of Shadow Clone?"

Qin Chen was surprised.

The Wan Ying Tian Jing that Lin Tian cultivated was given by him, so he naturally knew how terrifying its technique was.

The Shadow Clone was equivalent to the highest realm of the first level of Wan Ying Tian Jing. Once cultivated to this step, every movement would conjure phantom images, each representing a genuine attack—extremely terrifying.

However, the difficulty of cultivating the Wan Ying Tian Jing was extremely high and required a corresponding bloodline.

Fortunately, Lin Tian's Death Fiery Bloodline was an excellent match, but even so, generally, it would take about half a year to reach the first level of Shadow Clone.

Unexpectedly, Lin Tian had only spent less than a month to reach this level. Such talent could be considered monstrous.

But, although surprised, for Qin Chen, this Shadow Clone was nothing special.

With a glance, he had already spotted multiple flaws.

Whoosh!

His right hand was raised, fingers bent and pointed, as if a sword light ignited in the void.

Puff!

Several phantoms shattered simultaneously, and under the finger light, Lin Tian was sent flying, crashing to the ground.

With one move, Lin Tian was forced to retreat.

"Young Master Chen, what is your cultivation level?"

Getting up, Zhang Ying grimaced in pain, asking helplessly.

He could sense that Qin Chen's cultivation was definitely above his own.

Lin Tian also looked up, his expression speechless.

Even his Shadow Clone, which could trap a Heaven Level Initial Stage martial artist, had been so easily shattered by Qin Chen.

Even though the technique was given by Qin Chen, Lin Tian was still astonished.

"Just Heaven Level Initial Stage," Qin Chen said casually.

Puff!

Zhang Ying spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling depressed.

"Just Heaven Level Initial Stage?"

"Young Master Chen, are you trying to kill us?"

Exchanging glances, Lin Tian and Zhang Ying felt like crying without tears.

During the days when Qin Chen was away, the two of them had been working hard every day, barely resting at all.

They thought that when Qin Chen returned, they would be able to amaze him and show off their progress.

But who would have guessed that the gap between them had not only not closed, but had instead widened even further.

"Forget it, Young Master Chen, I understand now. There's really no point in comparing with a freak like you."

Zhang Ying shook his head, feeling as if he had comprehended some profound truth.

"Actually, your cultivation progress has been very fast," Qin Chen smiled and said.

Zhang Ying looked disdainful. If anyone else had said this, he would have been proud, but coming from Qin Chen, it felt awkward.

"Fast?"

"No one can compare to you!"

The two of them had been working hard, day and night, advancing from Human Level to Earth Level, while Qin Chen had directly broken through to Heaven Level. Indeed, comparing people can be infuriating.

"Actually, the reason you two are progressing slower than me is simply that you haven't entered the Blood Spirit Pool," Qin Chen said with a smile, encouraging the two.

In fact, the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Technique that Qin Chen practiced was at least ten times more difficult than the Wan Ying Tian Jing and the Undying Chaotic Technique that the two were cultivating.

In other words, if Qin Chen practiced the same techniques as Zhang Ying and Lin Tian, his current cultivation level would have long surpassed Heaven Level Initial Stage.

He said this merely to console the two.
