Chapter 499: Chapter 48: Shocking Change at Canglan Lake

The next day!

At the shore of Canglan Lake, the number of disciples present was considerably more than the previous day.

Disciples who wished to absorb Canglan energy would choose to come before the tide rising day.

On this day, Canglan energy in the lake would continuously surge out. Enduring the same chill, they could absorb more Canglan energy.

The disciples of the Canglan Martial Arts Academy knew how to choose the most beneficial option for themselves.

Many senior disciples saw Li Yuan standing together with another unfamiliar face, and there was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Senior Brother Li usually had a rather solitary nature, rarely mingling with others. What was this person’s background that he could stand with Senior Brother Li, and even have him introduce the situation of Canglan Lake?

Was he an illegitimate child of some dean or vice dean?

"Don’t stare, people cannot be compared so easily. This is Junior Brother Lin."

Someone who knew Lin Chen explained, and upon hearing this, everyone understood. If it was Junior Brother Lin, then it all made sense.

Though Junior Brother Lin’s current strength wasn’t as high as Senior Brother Li’s, his potential was evident, so it was normal for Senior Brother Li to regard him differently.

"In the end, it’s because Senior Brother Li looks down on us."

A disciple pouted, his words carrying a tone of complaint, but as soon as he spoke, he was immediately refuted by the others around him.

"Why should Senior Brother Li look up to you? Martial artists speak with strength. If you had the potential like Junior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Li would regard you differently too."

"If you can’t speak well, say less. Stop being so sour."

"Senior Brother Li is the senior brother among us older disciples, and Junior Brother Lin is the senior brother among the newcomers. This is what we call passing down from old to new."

As soon as a disciple said this, the others immediately looked over.

Wow, he really knows how to speak!

This behavior of Senior Brother Li, when described by someone eloquent, is called passing down from old to new.

Those who can’t speak well would say Senior Brother Li looks down on them.

"Junior Brother Lin, when the tide rises, the amount of Canglan energy will increase significantly, and the inflow into your body will also be greater. If it exceeds the body’s limit, it will damage the meridians."

Li Yuan reminded Lin Chen, as disciples who had entered the grade naturally had nothing to fear, but many disciples didn’t dare enter the lake during the tide because the Canglan energy surge in the lake was sometimes too overwhelming, making it impossible to refine in one go, thus harming the body.

Of course, Li Yuan believed this issue shouldn’t exist for Junior Brother Lin, but it was customary to remind him nonetheless.

a.m.!

Pa!

By the lake, suddenly there was a violent crashing sound.

Lin Chen’s gaze immediately turned to the lake surface. The originally calm lakeside was now turbulent, with ripples spreading from the center of the lake, continuously extending outward.

The ripples spread faster with each wave, and when they reached the lakeside, they had become waves nearly three feet high.

The waves crashed along the shore, splashing water dozens of feet high.

Whoosh!

As soon as the first wave reached the shore, many figures leaped into Canglan Lake.

"Junior Brother Lin, the tide at Canglan Lake will last a whole day, and the Canglan energy will become more terrifying as it progresses. Many junior brothers won’t be able to endure it, which is why it’s a race against time."

The explosion of Canglan energy is both a blessing and a curse.

The good part is that disciples can absorb more Canglan energy, but the bad part is that as the Canglan energy surge increases, many disciples cannot withstand a wave of Canglan energy impact.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lin Chen nodded and, without waiting till the end, like those senior brothers, leaped from high into the lake.

Li Yuan, however, did not follow suit. Instead, he leaped directly across the lake, finally stopping until he was only thirty zhang from the center of the lake, and then slowly submerged into the water.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the dozens of disciples by the shore had all entered the lake, and the lake surface once again became quiet.

Rumble!

At the moment of entering the lake bottom, Lin Chen clearly sensed a chill crashing directly into him, causing his body to momentarily freeze underwater.

Standing by the shore, one could only feel the surge of the lake water, but now deep at the bottom, Lin Chen truly understood how terrifying the surge of Canglan energy was.

One wave after another.

Each wave of Canglan energy surged like a heavy hammer pounding the entire body, and even without activating his cultivation technique, Lin Chen could feel Canglan energy already pouring into his body.

However, this Canglan energy that actively entered his body was expelled again in less than a breath.

This amount of Canglan energy was still not enough!

Lin Chen continued forward at the lake bottom, reaching the position where he stayed the previous day.

At this moment, the lake water was no longer as clear as the day before, with the terrifying Canglan energy filling the entire lake bottom, turning the entire lake water into an icy blue color.

Stopping his advancement, Lin Chen began to activate the Nine Revolutions True Blood Viscera Cultivation Method. As the technique operated, endless Canglan energy frantically surged into his body.

The icy Canglan energy rampaged through the meridians in an instant, surging through Lin Chen’s entire body,

This time, even the golden light from the Spirit Platform’s Jin Ri pouring down crazily couldn’t expel the Canglan energy from his body.

Inside his body, Lingxiao energy and Canglan energy were in constant conflict, his body just like a battlefield, with alternating hot and cold through all his limbs, turning Lin Chen’s face into a grimace.

This pain far exceeded any previous time.
