Chapter 66

Lin Beichen kept retreating.

But he always kept Yue Hongxiang protected behind him.

On the other side, Shen Fei had already engaged in battle with Lin Chen again.

The battle between the two top-tier talented students became increasingly intense.

At this moment, dozens of figures rapidly approached from a distance.

It was Li Tao, one of the dual jewels of the National Royal Junior College, who hurriedly arrived with a group of people.

"Taowan Cheng, you actually colluded with the gang representatives to besiege Senior Sister Lin Chen and harm your classmates?"

Li Tao shouted from a distance.

He had always been at odds with Taowan Cheng, and this was finally his chance.

Seeing Li Tao and his group arrive, Taowan Cheng's expression changed, and he became even more anxious. He shouted, "Go, Peng Yiming, take some people to intercept Li Tao and his group, delay them..."

The top priority was to quickly defeat Lin Chen and capture Lin Beichen. Once these two were defeated and their stone plates shattered, even if Li Tao reported to the three major figures in the camp, it would be too late to change the outcome.

Peng Yiming, ranked seventh on the personal overall leaderboard and the top student of the Provincial Fourth Junior College, was a well-known genius. He was recruited by Taowan Cheng and held a significant position in this small team.

He immediately led a dozen people to intercept them.

The third battle erupted.

Around the small lake, the sound of swords clashing continuously echoed.

Lin Beichen knew that the situation had reached a critical moment, and he gritted his teeth to hold on.

Taowan Cheng's sword movements became faster and more urgent.

Lin Beichen felt as if he were a spring, constantly being compressed. A force, indescribable in words, was accumulating within him, like a volcano waiting to erupt, just needing a trigger to burst forth.

This feeling was similar to the process of cultivating the "Formless Sword Body."

It was also like the prelude to a breakthrough in mental power described in "Mental Power Initial Understanding."

"Can't possibly break through two cultivation methods at once, right?"

"Besides, I'm a failure, mainly relying on cheats. How can I break through in real life?"

Several thoughts flashed through Lin Beichen's mind.

This moment of distraction allowed Taowan Cheng to find a gap in his defense.

Puff puff!

The long sword, like a white snake, struck his left and right shoulders with two flashes of light.

Lin Beichen felt a jolt, as if hit by a heavy hammer. He flew out four to five meters, landing with a stagger, almost falling to the ground.

"I didn't want to injure you so badly, but you left me no choice."

Taowan Cheng said coldly.

(The chapter is not finished, please turn the page.)

The power contained in those two strikes was enough to break his shoulder blades.

Such injuries were just a step away from serious harm.

Lin Beichen looked down at his shoulders.

Indeed, there was fresh blood flowing.

But it was just two shallow cuts, not even to the bone, only superficial injuries. Apart from some pain, it barely affected his movement... This must be the power of the "Formless Sword Bone" cultivation method.

Lin Beichen suddenly realized that he had underestimated the "Formless Sword Bone."

Could it really be that he could use his body to block his opponent's sword?

No wonder it consumed so much data when he downloaded this cultivation method.

"Are you okay..."

Yue Hongxiang, who had been in a protected state, rushed over, drew her sword, and stood in front of Lin Beichen, whispering, "I'll hold him off, you run!"

Sister, not to belittle you, but you can't even block one of his strikes.

Lin Beichen thought to himself.

Just then—

"Taowan Cheng, stop."

From the other battlefield, Li Tao's voice was rapidly approaching.

His strength was far superior to Peng Yiming's. With his own power, he broke through the interception and rushed over.

Lin Beichen was overjoyed.

"Brother Li..."

He waved and called out with a sly smile, the pride he once had when rejecting Li Tao's repeated attempts to recruit him long gone.

Li Tao's speed was very fast.

Like an arrow from a bow, he quickly reached the lakeside.

But he only glanced at Lin Beichen before charging towards Lin Chen.

"Senior Sister Ling, I'm here to help you."

A sword cut through the air.

The momentum was fierce like a tiger.

Clearly, it was a Star-Entry sword technique.

Lin Beichen's smile slowly froze.

His raised arm instantly stiffened.

What the heck?

Do you even understand the situation, brother?

Little Phoenix is not in any danger at all.

She has been压制着沈飞 the whole time.

The real danger is me, Lin Beichen.

Is Li Tao's eyesight not good?

Or have you always been jealous of my handsome face?

So angry.

Lin Beichen almost wanted to swear.

Lick dog!

(Chapter not finished, please turn the page.)

Another ultimate lick dog.

To please Lin Chen, it doesn't have to be this way.

Can't you just be a normal person?

Are these young geniuses in this world all unfamiliar with women?

"Ha ha..."

Taowan Cheng sneered, raising his sword and approaching.

Just then—

Boom!

A sound of mystic energy exploding rang out.

Peng!

A figure flew from dozens of meters away and landed in front of Lin Beichen with a thud.

It was Li Tao.

He fell to the ground in a wretched state but had a smug smile on his face, his long sword stained with blood.

And the blood came from...

Lin Chen!

The proud Lin Chen pressed her hand against her shoulder, a streak of red flowing from between her fingers, staining her black leather armor, and trickling down.

But there was no sign of shock or anger on her face.

Instead, she looked at Li Tao with a strange expression and said, "So you were the real last card?"

Li Tao laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha, that's right, the one who truly injured you is me."

He looked at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with admiration, reluctance, envy, and anger, which all turned into a hint of smugness. "Unfortunately, you realize this too late. Your right shoulder is injured, and you can't hold your sword. Your combat power is reduced to a third. There's no way to turn the tide, Lin Chen. Proud as you are, you never thought you would be eliminated in this preliminary competition, did you?"

Lin Beichen, watching from the side, was also stunned.

Impressive!

Playing the double agent here?

Turns out Li Tao and Taowan Cheng were in cahoots all along.

This is a mess now.

With Lin Chen injured, she is no match for Shen Fei.

The remaining Taowan Cheng and Li Tao can easily overpower him.

The situation is not looking good.

He was a bit flustered.

This was not part of his plan.

"Classmate Ling, considering you are the young princess of the City Lord's residence and a renowned prodigy, I will give you the chance to preserve your dignity. Shatter your stone plate and withdraw from this preliminary competition voluntarily."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

The situation was under control.

After such a long plan, it was finally about to bear fruit.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let Lin Beichen and the girl surnamed Yue come over to my side."
