Chapter 1052

Rumours about Lin Yuxuan and Chen Yu not only spread quickly within the Celestial Sect, but also to the outside world.

After all, it was Lin Yuxuan. If it was any other woman, it would be very difficult for her to cause any trouble.

As for the main character of the rumor, ever since he returned to his residence that night, he had gone into seclusion. He had no idea what was going on in the outside world.

The Celestial Sect's cultivation environment was excellent. After all, it was one of the top three cultivation grounds of the human race.

On top of that, Sikong Wanli had very strict requirements for Chen Yu to become the disciple of the Celestial Sect Leader.

Within ten years, he would be ranked 75th in the Celestial Sect.

This was an impossible task for ordinary people.

Even for Qin Wentian and Chen Yu, it was extremely difficult for them. They had no choice but to work harder in their cultivation.

In addition, he had seen many powerful fellow disciples during the day.

Only then did Chen Yu decide to go into seclusion for a long time.

He planned to master the White Tiger Heaven Splitting Claw, and at the same time attempt to break through to the middle stage of the Star Condensation Realm.

With Chen Yu's talent in body-tempering, coupled with his speed of comprehending profundities, cultivating the White Tiger Sky-Splitting Claw wouldn't be too difficult.

As for cultivation …

When Chen Yu entered the Disordered Ocean City, he broke through to the peak of the early stage Star Condensation Realm. He had been stuck at this realm for more than five years.

He had already built a solid foundation, and he believed that breaking through to the next cultivation level would not be a big problem.

Five days later.

The golden runes around Chen Yu's body suddenly transformed into countless strands of golden light that swam around. They were incomparably sharp, as if they could cut through anything.

"Level one Metal Ultimacy."

Chen Yu was overjoyed.

It had only been a few days since he had comprehended the Metal Profound, and he had already broken through to the next level.

Although the first level of Profound Meaning was relatively low for him, it was still unbelievable that he could reach the first level in such a short time.

As his Metal Profundity improved, his cultivation of the White Tiger Sky-Splitting Claw also sped up.

On the other hand, his cultivation was progressing at a steady pace.

Hence, Chen Yu put more energy on the cultivation of the Nine Transformations Vaststar Art.

A month quickly passed.

Chen Yu's second elemental energy star had grown quite a bit stronger, and its radiance was resplendent.

A month was a very short time for him.

But the outside world was already in chaos.

At first, the rumors about Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan quickly spread, but not many people believed them.

However, Lin Yuxuan did not refute the rumor, and Chen Yu also hid in the cave and did not come out.

This made everyone feel that something was amiss. The male and female protagonists of the rumors didn't refute them. Could it be that Lin Yuxuan had tacitly agreed? Could it be that the rumors were all … true?

Some people could restrain their impulses, but there were also some who could not endure it.

They did not dare to ask Lin Yuxuan, so they could only look for Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu, come out!"

Zhang Chen was the first to arrive.

He had long been thinking of taking back his cave abode to redeem the face he had lost to Chen Yu in the bet.

But later on, he found out that Chen Yu was a disciple of the Sect Master, so he couldn't use ordinary methods.

And now, the birth of the rumor had given him an excuse.

"Get the hell out here! How are you worthy of Senior Sister Lin? Which part of me, Zhang Chen, isn't better than you?"

Zhang Chen roared.

If he found trouble with Chen Yu for no reason, the Law Enforcement Hall might be biased towards Chen Yu, who was the Sect Master's disciple.

But using this as an excuse was understandable, and no one could say anything about it. Instead, it made people feel that Zhang Chen had deep feelings for Lin Yuxuan.

Chen Yu was in seclusion, so he naturally did not care about Zhang Chen.

He also knew that Zhang Chen's real purpose was to take back his cave abode.

But Zhang Chen's tireless scolding affected Chen Yu, so he opened the barrier of his seclusion, and from then on, he had nothing to do with the outside world.

"This kid, how can he endure it?"

Zhang Chen did not expect Chen Yu to not make a move, so he could only retreat.

The next day, another rumor spread. It was said that when Chen Yu entered the sect, he won a bet against Zhang Chen and won Lin Yuxuan's favor. When Zhang Chen was dissatisfied and wanted to compete again, Lin Yuxuan sided with Chen Yu.

This rumor was naturally spread by Lin Tianfeng.

"Sister Yuxuan, although everything I have done has affected your reputation, it is still better than you being completely ruined by that kid."

Lin Tianfeng muttered to himself. He was immensely proud of his own clever plan.

Without any effort, he used Lin Yuxuan's suitor to deal with Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu, you can hide for now, but you can't hide forever."

Lin Tianfeng sneered.

He walked out of the cave abode and went to visit Lin Yuxuan. He decided to push all the blame onto Chen Yu, saying that Chen Yu deliberately spread the rumor to tell the others that he and Lin Yuxuan were already a couple.

"Sister Yuxuan, it's me."

But the barrier of Lin Yuxuan's cave abode was also closed, and no matter how he called, it was useless.

In the room.

Lin Yuxuan felt annoyed when she heard Lin Tianfeng's voice.

She knew that Lin Tianfeng liked her, but she had no interest in him at all. She felt that he was arrogant and ignorant.

"Chen Yu, why don't you stand out and refute the rumor?"

Lin Yuxuan asked herself.

She was not an idiot. She knew that the rumor was deliberately spread by someone. After all, Chen Yu would not gain anything by doing this.

Lin Yuxuan did not stand out to refute at first because she had expressed her stance that night, but Chen Yu had not said what he thought.

She wanted to take this opportunity to see what Chen Yu was thinking.

But who would have thought that Chen Yu would shut his door and not say a word.

"Could it be that he wants to use this rumor to let the others know that we are a couple?"

Lin Yuxuan's pretty face turned cold.

After all, Chen Yu's master was the Celestial Sect Leader. Nothing big would happen to him.

If that was really the case, Lin Yuxuan would definitely not agree.

But she could not look for Chen Yu now. Otherwise, the rumor would become the truth. This gave Lin Yuxuan a headache.

"Chen Yu, I will never marry you."

Lin Yuxuan's heart was firm. She felt that Chen Yu was shameless. Everything he did was to get her and get into the Lin Clan.

...

Every few days, Zhang Chen would come to Chen Yu's cave and shout.

Chen Yu did not reply. The Sect did not care either. Hence, Zhang Chen decided to go all out. He acted as if he had gone mad with love and lost his rationality. He issued a challenge to Chen Yu.

Chi!

A letter of challenge, like a sharp sword, was inserted into the bluestone floor in front of the cave.

"Chen Yu, I, Zhang Chen, want to challenge you. I want to prove to everyone that you are not worthy of Lin Yuxuan!"

Zhang Chen's challenge, Lin Tianfeng also spread it out immediately.

What he wanted was someone to challenge Chen Yu and humiliate Chen Yu.

The Celestial Sect was filled with experts. The Celestial Martial List was filled with demon-like existences. Although Chen Yu was number one in the assessment, he was considered ordinary in the Celestial Sect.

"What? Zhang Chen issued a challenge to Chen Yu? "

"As a senior disciple, his cultivation is at the Star Condensation Late Stage. To challenge a new disciple at the peak of the Star Condensation Early Stage, does he still have any face?"

In the eyes of the crowd, Zhang Chen was completely relying on his strength to bully the weak.

However, some people expressed their understanding. Zhang Chen was deeply in love with Lin Yuxuan. He had talked to Chen Yu several times, but Chen Yu refused to come out.

It was completely reasonable for Zhang Chen to do such a thing under impulse.

There were even some senior disciples who resonated with Zhang Chen.

A new disciple who had just entered the sect, his cultivation was only at the peak of the Star Condensation Early Stage, and he had even slandered Lin Yuxuan's reputation. What qualifications did he have to win Lin Yuxuan's favor?

More admirers came to Chen Yu's cave. At first, they only called Chen Yu out to reason with him. Later, it turned into cursing.

On this day.

Geng Handong, who was ranked 44th on the Celestial Martial List, came to Chen Yu's cave and immediately alarmed many people.

A genius on the Celestial Martial List naturally attracted attention. Moreover, all the disciples knew that Geng Handong had once confessed to Lin Yuxuan but had been rejected.

"Chen Yu, I warned you not to say anything to slander Junior Sister Lin. You actually don't know what's good for you."

"I, Geng Handong, do not care about bullying the weak. Today, I challenge you to a bet. On the Celestial Martial Battle Platform, if you can withstand three moves from me, I will give you five profound crystals. If you lose, you will be slapped five times."

Geng Handong's words pushed this matter to the peak, exceeding Lin Tianfeng's expectations.

After all, Geng Handong was someone on the Celestial Martial List.

The rumor gradually became the truth. Various versions of the story about Chen Yu and Lin Yuxuan spread everywhere.

Countless people were angry. It was like a flower stuck in cow dung.

Lin Yuxuan was also annoyed. Chen Yu did not refute the rumor. He did not say anything and kept his door closed. Now, she did not dare to go out either.

...

In the secret chamber.

"White Tiger Heaven Splitting Claw, Xiaocheng!"

Chen Yu opened his pitch-black, crystalline eyes, and they flickered with excitement.

After half a year of seclusion, his metal profound had reached level two and a half, and his White Tiger Heaven Splitting Claw had reached the level of Xiaocheng.

Chen Yu's claws were covered with white-gold light patterns, turning into a pair of translucent giant beast claws, emitting a terrifying pressure that could intimidate all things.

Chi Chi!

With a light wave, five smooth grooves were left on the stone wall of the secret chamber.

This was a secret chamber made of special materials. Ordinary Star Condensation Late Stage experts could not break it open.

Chen Yu's "White Tiger Sacred Claw" left five claw marks with a light wave.

What if he used his full strength? The wall would probably be clawed into pieces like tofu.

Buzz!

The translucent White Tiger Sacred Claw turned into rays of white-gold light patterns, adhering to Chen Yu's claws, adding a mystical feeling.

White Tiger Heaven Splitting Claw Xiaocheng. He had reached his goal.

However, his cultivation had not broken through to the Star Condensation Middle Stage.

Next, Chen Yu put eighty percent of his energy into breaking through.

In the storage space, the elixirs in this area were quickly consumed, and within a few months, they were all used up.

In Chen Yu's Star Sea, the second elemental energy star was becoming more and more round and bright, looking very similar to the first elemental energy star.

"One last step left."

Chen Yu ended his year-long seclusion.

"I need to use the Celestial Sect's special place to break through."

The Celestial Sect was one of the three sacred cultivation grounds of the human race. In terms of cultivation, it was definitely at the top.

There were all kinds of secret cultivation rooms, where one could comprehend different profound meanings. There was also the Celestial Martial Tower, where one could simulate enemies and train in actual combat. There was also the Sky Martial Arena, where one could challenge experts...

Among them, there was a special place called the Skyward Terrace. It was a special place specially built for people to achieve breakthroughs in their cultivation.

Of course.

All of these places required contribution points to be used.

When Chen Yu became a disciple of the Celestial Sect, he was rewarded with ten thousand contribution points, otherwise he could not even go to the "Rising Sky Platform".

Just as he walked out of the cave abode.

On the opposite mountain peak, a disciple looked over in surprise. After half a breath, he suddenly shouted, "Chen Yu is out."

Chen Yu was stunned by this scene. Since when did he receive so much attention?
