Chapter 1096: Chapter 1095: Lesson
"Oh, isn’t this Elder Sister Lin? What, feeling sorry for your little lover?"
The sharp-tongued woman saw Lin Wan stand up, and instead of being surprised, a flicker of joy appeared on her face as she hurriedly mocked.
"Exactly, Senior Sister Huang is right, this Lingyun Mountain is originally a place for core disciples only, bringing a newcomer here, what’s the point?"
Another female disciple also spoke up in question.
"Firstly, he is not my lover, speaking recklessly will have consequences, and secondly, although Ling Chen is not a core disciple, he’s a guest of Elder Shen Bingxin, and Elder Shen Bingxin recommended him to come here for training."
Lin Wan glanced at the two and said indifferently.
"Oh, so he got in through favoritism, no wonder. I was wondering how a newcomer could have the qualification to enter here."
The sharp-tongued woman’s gaze grew even colder.
"Kid, this is Lingyue Island, not some third-rate sect. Getting in through favoritism can grant you some privileges, but here, it’s all about power."
The other female disciple also spoke, looking at Ling Chen with increasing disdain.
"If I were you, I wouldn’t shamelessly stay here. Instead of enduring others’ scorn and gossip, you’d be better off staying in a lower level place, don’t you think?"
The sharp-tongued woman directly confronted Ling Chen.
"Sorry, I don’t have much else going for me except thick skin. Thanks for the concern, Senior Sisters. I don’t have plans to move for now. When I do, I’ll surely inform you."
Ling Chen, acting as if nothing happened, replied calmly.
"You!"
Upon hearing Ling Chen’s words, the sharp-tongued woman’s face suddenly darkened, "Untactful thing, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you won’t obediently pack up and get out!"
After speaking, she directly circulated True Qi and swung a slap towards Ling Chen.
"What are you doing!"
Lin Wan’s pretty face also suddenly changed color, but before she could react, it was too late. The sharp-tongued woman was too close to Ling Chen, and the slap was already right in front of Ling Chen!
"Deserve it."
Seeing this, another female disciple coldly sneered.
If Ling Chen were disciplined here by the sharp-tongued woman, this incident would likely spread throughout Lingyue Island, making Ling Chen a laughingstock, unable to lift his head from this point forward.
However, just as that slap was about to hit Ling Chen, a hint of coldness suddenly appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Ling Chen moved suddenly, his body slightly bent, abruptly leaning back—the backward arc small but just enough to dodge the sharp-tongued woman’s slap.
Then, Ling Chen’s right hand shot out suddenly, as fast as lightning, seizing the sharp-tongued woman’s retreating wrist.
A cold gleam flashed in his eyes as Ling Chen’s hand twisted abruptly—a sharp "crack" sounded, followed by a harsh scream, the sharp-tongued woman’s wrist was already deformed, apparently snapped by Ling Chen.
After accomplishing this, Ling Chen finally released his grip, allowing the sharp-tongued woman to awkwardly retreat.
"Ah! Bastard, you... how dare you disable my wrist!"
The sharp-tongued woman’s face contorted in pain, gritting her teeth, but more was fury—a new arrival broken her wrist, a great insult indeed.
"Merely breaking your wrist, I’ve been courteous. If this wasn’t Lingyue Island, I fear what would be snapped wouldn’t be your wrist but your neck."
Ling Chen revealed a faint smile—harmless yet caused the sharp-tongued woman some dread.
This guy isn’t as weak and easy to bully as he appears on the surface; beneath the harmless facade lies a ruthless combative character!
"Unexpectedly, a newcomer with such skills, seems I’ve misjudged."
At this moment, the gorgeous female disciple addressed as "Senior Sister Zhou" also spoke—looking at Ling Chen with growing seriousness.
The sharp-tongued woman, being a core disciple of Lingyue Island, had cultivation at the Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm—a first-class practice technique and martial arts, unquestionably stronger than Ling Chen. Yet the result was her wrist being effortlessly snapped, with no chance to fight back.
"Ling Chen is indeed a favored successor of Elder Shen Bingxin. How about now, Zhou Qingqing, tasted hardship? Perhaps you’ll make way."
Lin Wan coldly glanced at the gorgeous disciple, speaking chillily. Naturally, she was glad to see Zhou Qingqing suffer; they’ve antagonized each other countless times before.
Moreover, when Ling Chen first arrived at Lingyue Island, he struck and disabled Mo Yang’s arm.
Mind you, Mo Yang possesses cultivation at Sky Apex Realm Ninth Level—his technique, martial arts, and moves were clearly superior to the sharp-tongued woman, yet even Mo Yang couldn’t withstand a move from Ling Chen, so how could the sharp-tongued woman?
Thus, she wasn’t worried from the start that Ling Chen would suffer. The kid escaped from two Great Saints, possessed many tactics, indeed.
"Is he Elder Shen Bingxin’s favored successor?"
Zhou Qingqing deeply regarded Ling Chen, Lin Wan mentioned this earlier but she didn’t take it to heart; now she was beginning to believe.
Shen Bingxin holds a high position at Lingyue Island—not just due to being Second Elder but by choice. Her strength surpasses both the Great Elder and Island Master in pure power.
Moreover, as Zhou Qingqing knew, Elder Shen Bingxin had a very high standard, rarely involving in sect affairs—with very few disciples. Before, no one was favored, even she was once declined in seeking to be under her mentorship; yet this Ling Chen gained what she couldn’t, receiving Elder Shen Bingxin’s favor?
This person seems slightly younger than herself?
A wave of jealousy surged within Zhou Qingqing’s heart.
"Ling Chen, why does this name seem familiar somewhere."
At this moment, the female disciple beside Zhou Qingqing furrowed her brows, seemingly caught in thought. Next moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a shock, "Ling Chen, isn’t he the champion of the Heavenly Sword Tournament, acclaimed as the Nine Provinces’ top talent of the younger generation?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingqing’s beautiful eyes also brightened considerably.
ps: I drank with a great master last night and got a little too carried away... I’ll make up for the Chapter missed yesterday, apologies to everyone.
