Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: Taking the Initiative
"Is it true that you broke the projection jade?"
Elder Sun Gao’s face instantly darkened, his gaze fell upon that disciple from Heaven Hall, his eyes seemingly ready to annihilate him.
"I, I didn’t mean to, it was because this guy dodged my attack, otherwise my Spiritual Power wouldn’t have hit that jade."
The disciple from Heaven Hall looked at Elder Sun Gao, cold sweat pouring down, panic-stricken to the extreme.
"Hmph, daring to make a move in the Law Enforcement Hall, you from Heaven Hall are getting more and more arrogant."
"What, should he just stand there and let you attack him?"
"I don’t care about your grudges, nor do I care who struck first, I only know now that you broke the jade. Prepare ten thousand Spirit Stones and go pay the fine tomorrow, this jade is worth five thousand Spirit Crystals, not a single one less."
Elder Sun Gao looked at the disciple from Heaven Hall angrily, spoke, and then strode away.
Upon hearing this punishment, the disciples from Heaven Hall turned pale, it was a joke, five thousand Spirit Crystals, how many tasks would they have to complete to earn that back?
That particular Heaven Hall disciple felt as if the sky was falling.
Crack...
However, just as Elder Sun was leaving, after only a few steps, he heard the sound of another magic treasure shattering behind him.
Elder Sun’s expression changed drastically, furious, he turned back to face everyone, indeed discovering another piece of jade shattered on the ground.
"Who did it?"
Elder Sun furiously roared.
"It was him, his Spiritual Power was released, and shattered that projection jade."
Upon hearing Elder Sun’s question, Lin Chen immediately stepped forward, pointing at another disciple from Heaven Hall.
"I..."
The disciple from Heaven Hall looked helpless, almost on the verge of breakdown, facing Lin Chen’s accusation, he was unable to refute.
Just earlier, as Elder Sun Gao was turning to leave, Lin Chen suddenly struck at a disciple from Heaven Hall.
The terrifying power in his fist instantly made that Heaven Hall disciple instinctively release Spiritual Power to defend.
However, Lin Chen’s punch shattered that Heaven Hall disciple’s Spiritual Power shield, and the violent Spiritual Power spread outwards, instantly hitting a projection jade, shattering it.
"Hmph, this projection jade is superior, more expensive than the previous one, worth nine thousand Spirit Crystals, adding to the previous five thousand Spirit Crystals, tomorrow you from Heaven Hall better obediently pay the Spirit Stones."
"Otherwise, you two will spend the rest of your lives in confinement at Yunlong Heavenly Palace."
Elder Sun looked coldly at the disciple from Heaven Hall and spoke.
"Elder, I’ve been wronged, I didn’t attack first, it was this guy who attacked me."
The disciple from Heaven Hall was still unwilling, looking at Lin Chen, and rebutted.
"I made the move? I didn’t even release Spiritual Power, and it wasn’t my strength that broke these jades."
Lin Chen looked at that disciple from Heaven Hall and said.
"You..."
The disciple from Heaven Hall was left speechless by Lin Chen’s words, indeed, Lin Chen didn’t use any Spiritual Power, it was his own released Spiritual Power that fragmented and shattered the jade.
"But... if it weren’t for you attacking me, why would I have released Spiritual Power and shattered the jade?"
The disciple from Heaven Hall broke down crying, it’s a joke, such a hefty compensation, he definitely can’t afford it.
"Boy, you just joined not long ago, yet you stir up so much trouble."
Elder Sun looked coldly at Lin Chen and said.
Elder Sun Gao seemed to have some impression of Lin Chen, remembering when Lin Chen cheated to pass others in the first stage assessment, Elder Sun took notice and thus remembered him.
"Chen Ji."
Elder Sun Gao lightly called out, and Chen Ji ran over eagerly.
"Elder Sun, did you need me?"
Chen Ji arrived before Elder Sun Gao and asked very respectfully.
In response, Elder Sun Gao’s gaze fell on Lin Chen and the others from Heaven Hall.
"You keep a close eye on them for me, if anyone damages the facilities, record it all, make them compensate."
Elder Sun Gao said.
After instructing Chen Ji, Elder Sun Gao left.
He was from the Law Enforcement Hall but did not handle disputes, his responsibility was facility safety and collecting compensation, so he was disinclined to manage the grudges between Lin Chen and those from Heaven Hall.
"Yes, Elder Sun."
Chen Ji responded.
And with that, Elder Sun left.
Within Yunlong Heavenly Palace, with so many disciples, small squabbles like this aren’t cared for by Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
As long as nobody dies or others’ foundations aren’t harmed, the Law Enforcement Hall generally won’t intervene.
As long as facilities are damaged, as long as one can afford the compensation, it’s of little concern.
"Lin Chen, just you wait, daring to make us from Heaven Hall bear such a huge compensation, just wait, I’ll make sure you can’t live nor die peacefully."
Shi An was furious, glaring at Lin Chen, wishing to strip him of his flesh and bones.
Lin Chen had made Heaven Hall unexpectedly face a fine of fourteen thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystals, how could they not be enraged?
"Heh, make me live worse than death?"
"I’m quite curious to see how you plan to make me suffer."
Lin Chen’s lips curled slightly upwards, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, he immediately struck again, another punch aimed at a disciple from Heaven Hall.
"Trying this trick again, I won’t fall for it."
The disciple from Heaven Hall, seeing Lin Chen’s massive fist coming at him, instinctively wanted to use Spiritual Power to defend. Then he recalled Lin Chen’s purpose and immediately restrained his Spiritual Power, confronting Lin Chen head-on.
However, without using Spiritual Power, how could he possibly be a match for Lin Chen?
Bang——
The disciple from Heaven Hall was instantly knocked down to the ground by Lin Chen’s punch, convulsing, foaming at the mouth.
However, this was the result of Lin Chen holding back some of his power.
If Lin Chen truly used all his Physical Strength, and if the other didn’t use Spiritual Power to defend, he might have been directly killed by Lin Chen’s punch.
After knocking that Heaven Hall disciple unconscious, Lin Chen coldly smiled, then moved again, leaping into the crowd of Heaven Hall’s disciples.
Those normally arrogant Heaven Hall disciples, under Lin Chen’s attack at this moment, retreated continuously, falling one after another under Lin Chen’s hands.
Witnessing Lin Chen’s formidable Physical Strength, how could they dare to confront him directly any longer, they scattered in all directions.
