Chapter 41: Clash of Concepts

Lin Chuan and his group were speeding through the air. "This first battle in the Southern Region has been successfully won. I didn't expect the first battle to be taken so easily."

"If all the Disciples from the Southern Region Sects have this level of strength, then they are truly too weak."

"This Southern Region once fought the Demon Clan members so fiercely that they dared not set foot in this region. It seems they have fallen into decline; their glory was only fleeting."

"Let's use this momentum to take down all the other Sects."

At this moment, the old man looked at them and said, "Do not become complacent just because you won against one Joyful Union Sect. Do not underestimate the Southern Region; the further you go, the stronger the Sects become."

"They also possess Water Spirit Body and Innate Sword Body users. Especially that Innate Sword Body—that is a tough nut to crack."

"Master, I understand. Even if he is an Innate Sword Body, I have my own confidence. My Spirit Martial Sword Body is not inferior."

"Good. It is good to have confidence."

Xiao Yuling also jumped out. "I believe in you, Senior Brother Lin. They are no match for you. I estimate that even this Innate Sword Body cannot compare to you."

"As long as you defeat this Innate Sword Body, your reputation will surely spread across every region, and then you can embark on that path of invincibility."

"That's right," the people around chimed in. Hearing this, Lin Chuan felt even more confident.

"Alright, we are about to arrive at the next stop, the Spirit Sea Sect. Let us see how strong this Sect is."

As they arrived before the entrance of the Spirit Sea Sect, the people of the Spirit Sea Sect had already guessed they were coming. They were waiting at the gate, which saved quite a bit of effort. Subsequently, the people of the Spirit Sea Sect invited Lin Chuan and his group inside.

As the battles broke out one after another, the Spirit Sea Sect became exceptionally lively. It was the same process, but the outcome this time was not as good as the challenge against the Joyful Union Sect.

Although Lin Chuan and his group ultimately won, except for Lin Chuan, the other Disciples basically won with only a slight advantage.

After all, the Joyful Union Sect previously relied on Dual Cultivation to compensate for their lack of Aptitude, so the Aptitude of most of them was not very good.

They spent more time on Dual Cultivation and did not have much time to study various Cultivation Techniques. This led to their combat power not being very high, which created the illusion that the Southern Region Sects might not be that powerful.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan still managed to win without much effort, though he did use some tricks during the fight, but that was about it.

After the battles ended, Lin Chuan and his group left the Spirit Sea Sect. Through this battle, they gained an intuitive sense of the strength of the Southern Region Sects.

Xiao Yuling spoke first, "Everyone, do not worry. We still won. It seems the other Sects in the Southern Region will not be so easy to take down."

"It doesn't matter if we lose; as long as Senior Brother Lin wins all of his matches, we are considered to have won. We shall treat this as a training experience."

"We still have Senior Brother Lin; after all, the protagonist is Senior Brother Lin."

The old man also spoke, "I told you that the Southern Region is not that simple. Do not feel that you are very powerful just because you won against the Joyful Union Sect."

"Alright, all of you adjust yourselves. Rest for a day, and then we will set off for the next stop."

During this period, after they continuously challenged various Sects, only the last three Sects remained. Those were the Disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect, the Myriad Swords Sect, and the Celestial Maiden Sect.

When battling other Sects, they were not successful; only Lin Chuan could win relatively easily.

Their other Disciples were on par with the other Sects, and even when fighting the Mad Blade Sect, they lost, but fortunately, Lin Chuan won.

At this time, the matter of Lin Chuan and his group challenging the Southern Region had completely spread throughout the Southern Region.

In taverns and within the Sects, everyone was discussing this topic.

"Have you heard? These people from the Western Region are not simple, especially that Lin Chuan. No one has been able to stop him so far."

"There hasn't even been anyone who could make him use his full strength. This is incredible."

"Could it be that we in the Southern Region have no one who can stop this Lin Chuan?"

"What are you saying? We have trump cards here too. The Water Spirit Body of the Celestial Maiden Sect and the Innate Sword Body of the Myriad Swords Sect have not yet made a move."

"And there is also Ye Lin of the Profound Heaven Sect; he is also very famous."

"This Lin Chuan might not necessarily win when he encounters them."

"That's true. Fortunately, we still have trump cards that haven't appeared. We must go and cheer them on."

At this moment, Su Yu in the courtyard also heard about this matter. He did not expect that people from the Western Region would run all the way here to compete with others.

They have real confidence. The leader seems to be a guy at the Late Stage Golden Core; he wasn't sure if people from other Sects could defeat Lin Chuan.

But he did understand Ye Lin. With Ye Lin's strength, dealing with a Late Stage Golden Core Lin Chuan would be easy. After all, he could sense the level of understanding Ye Lin had reached in his Sword Intent.

That is fine too. It has been a long time since it was this lively. He might as well act as his Passerby to join in the fun and shout encouragement in the crowd.

After the previous few battles, the other Disciples of Lin Chuan's group no longer had their previous confidence. Lin Chuan looked at everyone.

"It is not that I want to discourage you, but the challenges ahead will be even more difficult. Our next stop is the Water Spirit Body of the Celestial Maiden Sect."

"I do not know if you can defeat the other Disciples of their Sect, but I must defeat their Water Spirit Body."

"Just give it your all."

Soon they arrived at the Celestial Maiden Sect. "Is this the Sect of that Water Spirit Body? Let me go and meet her."

Soon, everyone followed the people of the Celestial Maiden Sect to the side of the arena. The battle quickly broke out, and as expected, the level of the other Disciples was about the same.

At this moment, Lin Chuan did not wait any longer. "Where is the Water Spirit Body of your Celestial Maiden Sect? I will meet her."

At this time, Yun Ruyan also appeared, walking out from the crowd. When Lin Chuan saw Yun Ruyan appear, his first impression was that she was so beautiful; by comparison, Xiao Yuling was a level below her.

Their group was all slightly dazed from watching. Seeing this, Xiao Yuling knew that she could not compare to the other person.

"What are you all doing? We are here to challenge others, not to look at others."

At this moment, Lin Chuan also reacted. Lin Chuan flew onto the arena, and Yun Ruyan also flew up. Both sides were cheering and shouting.

"Senior Sister Yun, come on! Senior Brother Lin, come on!"

Lin Chuan could feel from Yun Ruyan that the strength of the Disciples from the previous few Sects was not on the same level as hers. It seemed this would be an exciting battle.

Yun Ruyan could also feel that Lin Chuan's strength was very high.

At this moment, Lin Chuan attacked first. He did not test the opponent like he had done before; as soon as he started, he unleashed a sword technique, and instantly, dozens of afterimages surrounded her.

She immediately mobilized her palm technique to attack in all directions. Just like that, the two kept performing an offensive and defensive battle on the arena, and the surrounding people exclaimed repeatedly.

"It is the first time I have seen Senior Brother Lin fight for so long."

After fighting for a while, Lin Chuan knew that it would not be easy to determine the winner this way. Lin Chuan flashed back, and both of them opened up some distance. "Since that is the case, then let me show you my strength."

Seeing this, Yun Ruyan also held back no longer. "Good, then bring it on."

Instantly, a Sword Intent that shot straight into the clouds erupted from Lin Chuan. But just as others exclaimed that Lin Chuan possessed Sword Intent, on the other side, a powerful Palm Intent erupted from Yun Ruyan's body. The collision of the two Concepts spread across the entire arena.

Now there is a good show to watch. I didn't expect both of them to have mastered a Concept.

Lin Chuan looked at the scene before him, having long expected this. If a dignified Water Spirit Body could not even Master a Concept, that would be too useless.

"Come on, let me see if your Palm Intent is stronger, or if my Sword Intent is stronger."

The two immediately rushed towards each other, and a powerful shockwave caused the surroundings to tremble. After being deadlocked for a period of time, accompanied by the end of a shockwave, Lin Chuan ultimately achieved victory.

Immediately, their group shouted excitedly, "Senior Brother Lin won!"

Since the Water Spirit Body of the Celestial Maiden Sect has been defeated, the next stop is the Profound Heaven Sect.

At this time, Ye Lin heard the news that the Water Spirit Body of the Celestial Maiden Sect had been defeated. "It seems he still has some strength. The next stop is the Profound Heaven Sect, right? I hope you do not disappoint me."

Su Yu also heard the news, and he could also sense a group of people flying rapidly towards the Profound Heaven Sect. "There is a good show to watch. I will just bring my Monkey Wine to watch the show and play the part of my Passerby well."
