"Then why were you acting like that just now?"

Zhou Rui was a little worried and pressed for more information.

Chen Lin caught sight of a figure approaching. "You can ask her to explain it to you."

Zhou Rui turned his head and saw Ren Ke.

"What's wrong?"

Ren Ke sat opposite Chen Lin and spoke with some surprise.

Chen Lin looked at Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui asked, "Sister Ren, Brother Chen said I have a natural combat physique and very strong aptitude."

A look of surprise flashed in Ren Ke's eyes. "His talent is indeed very strong."

Zhou Rui then asked, "Then why did you all look so strange after hearing about it? Is there something wrong?"

Ren Ke glanced at Chen Lin before speaking calmly: "Because the previous expert with a natural battle physique was quite famous, he suffered a lifetime of defeats."

Zhou Rui was stunned upon hearing this, then spoke with difficulty: "Are you talking about the 'failure' in 'defeat'? Are you sure you don't mean never having suffered a defeat in your entire life?"

Ren Ke nodded in confirmation: "Yes, he fought and lost repeatedly, but he never gave up."

Zhou Rui's spine seemed to soften because of those few words, and he lost all his energy, letting out a listless sigh.

Chen Lin laughed and said, "Miss Ren, why didn't you mention the most important thing?"

Ren Ke glanced at him. "You already tested his talent, why didn't you tell him while you were at it?"

"Well, it's perfect that you've come."

Ren Ke pursed her lips, "Okay."

She looked at Zhou Rui and said, "The reason that famous natural-born warrior is famous is because his opponents are too strong, not because he is too weak. At his strongest, he could probably wipe out the solar system with a single slap."

"What?"

Zhou Rui let out a soft cry.

Ren Ke explained, "That senior with a natural battle physique fought his entire life until the end of his Great Saint realm. Although he was repeatedly defeated, his opponent was always the strongest of that era, the Nine Heavens Emperor, an existence that suppressed an entire era."

Zhou Rui looked at Chen Lin blankly.

Chen Lin shrugged. "He's right. If it weren't for the Nine Heavens Emperor who possessed the Nine Heavens Tribulation Body, that senior with the Battle Body would have been the strongest person of that era."

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Haha, I knew I wouldn't be that bad."

Chen Lin smiled upon hearing this.

He didn't lie to Zhou Rui, but the problem was that, as far as he knew, his sister Chen Miaomiao possessed the Taiyin Sacred Body.

Moreover, few of these returning students are simple-minded.

With the spiritual energy of Earth reviving, who knows how many extraordinary talents will rise to prominence?

Zhou Rui, with his innate battle physique, has a high chance of following in the footsteps of that other innate battle physique.

However, Chen Lin managed to keep his composure and didn't show it.

Otherwise, Zhou Rui would keep pestering him with questions.

"Miss Ren, is there something you need?" Chen Lin asked.

Ren Ke gritted her teeth, "Just call me by my name, why be so formal?"

"it is good."

Ren Ke glanced back, where the largest group in the banquet hall was located, including several scions of prominent families from the capital and returnees like Lin Yu.

"What happened between you and Zhao Minghui just now?" Ren Ke asked.

Chen Lin asked, "What else could it be that he suddenly came over and rambled on for a bit?"

Ren Ke blinked. "That simple?"

"What did he say to you?" Chen Lin asked.

Ren Ke replied, "Just say you're not a good team player, and your signature weapon isn't good either."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin smiled and said, "That's all?"

"Oh...he also said you're quite pretentious." Ren Ke said, a smile curving her lips.

She scrutinized Chen Lin's expression, wanting to see his reaction; the matter seemed quite interesting.

However, to her disappointment, Chen Lin didn't seem to care about these things.

"You're quite composed."

She hesitated for two seconds, then said, "The classmates who are going to that mysterious space tomorrow are all there. Lin Yu... is ambitious, but not very smart."

Chen Lin shrugged. "You're the leader of this operation, aren't you going to make the overall arrangements?"

"Of course, if everyone acted recklessly, things would have been in chaos long ago."

The two men casually strolled around the banquet hall, chatting idly.

Zhou Rui was getting anxious; he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Chen Lin stood up. "If there's nothing else, I'll head home now. Otherwise, if you stay any longer, I'll get into trouble again."

"You should be fine now. I'll see you off."

Ren Ke gave a soft snort and then stood up.

Zhou Rui hurriedly followed.

"I have something to discuss with Chen Lin," Ren Ke said, glancing at him.

Zhou Rui's face stiffened, then he chuckled awkwardly, "I understand, I understand."

"Brother Chen, can we exchange contact information?" He took out his phone.

"Okay." Chen Lin nodded.

On the rooftop of the Shengtian Hotel, Ren Ke and Chen Lin stood at the edge of the rooftop.

"What exactly is your cultivation level?"

Ren Ke asked.

Chen Lin looked down over most of Ningjiang City, his voice calm and even, "Inquiring about other people's secrets is not a good habit on the Tianheng Continent."

Ren Ke paused for a moment, "Can't you satisfy my curiosity? I can tell you a secret."

"What secret?" Chen Lin asked.

"I discovered ancient ruins on Earth, which may very well be the legacy of sages."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin relaxed and remained composed, his tone unchanged.

"You mean the strange phenomenon at the bronze door last night?"

Ren Ke blurted out, "It's already deep in the mountains, how did you know?"

"With such a loud commotion, it would be strange if we didn't notice!"

Ren Ke was speechless; it seemed to make sense.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Should we investigate this further later?"

Chen Lin shook his head: "With our cultivation level, we're prone to courting death. Let's talk about it later. But if you have any information about rare and precious natural materials with the highest Yang attribute, we can discuss it."

He suddenly realized that, given his relationship with Ren Ke, he could utilize the intelligence network of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ren Ke exclaimed in surprise, "A rare and precious natural treasure with the ultimate Yang attribute? That's possible."

Chen Lin nodded, then leaped into the air and flew away at a leisurely pace into the distance.

"I will act alone after entering tomorrow and will not affect you."

His voice clearly reached Ren Ke's ears, causing her face to darken.

Even at such close range, she still couldn't discern the true level of Chen Lin's natal weapon.

Therefore, we dare not be too aggressive in our attitude towards him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lin, who is usually quiet, has become the biggest troublemaker.

Although Lin Yu is rather outspoken, once she speaks up, the other party generally won't openly confront her.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. We'll see how things go tomorrow. If there really was a golden age of cultivation on Earth in ancient times, it might be a good thing."

With a helpless sigh, Ren Ke returned to the banquet hall.

Chen Lin flew back to the residential area as usual, but used his divine power to cover his face so that no one could see it.

Not long after he got home, he saw the announcement issued by the Great Xia Public Security Bureau.

The entire piece, spanning several thousand words, can be summarized into two points.

The statement refuted rumors of the end of the world and released information from the Cultivator Management Bureau.

"This straightforward approach is good; it can quell most of the chaos."

Chen Lin strongly agreed with this approach.

Those who were deliberately creating chaos and predicting the end of the world have now quieted down.

The authorities have already issued a clear announcement that anyone who dares to cause trouble will be met with a raid from the law enforcement bureau.

"Brother, I think I've broken through. The Sea of ​​Bitterness is now as big as our living room."

Chen Miaomiao came out of her room and saw Chen Lin there, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"As expected of my sister," Chen Lin said with a smile.

"That's... but bro, when will I be able to fly like you?"

Chen Lin smiled and said, "That's simple. Once your Sea of ​​Bitterness expands to its limit and you connect with the Spring of Life, you'll have the ability to fly short distances. But if you want to fly freely, you'll need to build a divine bridge to reach the other shore."

"Ah... how long will it take to cultivate to the Other Shore Realm?"

Hearing that series of realm names, Chen Miaomiao was dumbfounded.

Chen Lin replied, "Given the current concentration of spiritual energy on Blue Star, you should be able to reach the Other Shore Realm in another three to five years."

Upon hearing this, Chen Miaomiao immediately wilted, "Then I'd better just focus on my cultivation."

Chen Lin paused briefly and said, "However, if you can cultivate to the Life Spring Realm within a month, I can forge a flying artifact for you to help you travel long distances."

"Really? Bro, you're so great, I love you."

Chen Miaomiao jumped up excitedly, almost hitting her head on the ceiling.

Chen Lin simply smiled indulgently at his younger sister's liveliness and told her to quickly adapt to her rapidly increasing power.

In the afternoon, he went out to prepare for his trip to the mysterious space the next day.
