Liu Yong is not a mediocre person, but a powerful expert; otherwise, he wouldn't be among the Top Ten Heroes.
After such a long battle, the spiritual power within both Lin Chen and Liu Yong has been nearly exhausted.
This precisely created a perfect opportunity for Lin Chen to perform the Soul Capture Technique against Liu Yong.
If Lin Chen had used the Soul Capture Technique at the start of the battle, it might not have been as effective.
But using it at this moment, the timing was just right.
Lin Chen looked at Liu Yong, who had collapsed unconscious on the duel platform, and without hesitation, looted all the treasures from his spatial treasure.
To Lin Chen, the restrictions on the spatial treasure were as if they didn't exist.
Similarly, Lin Chen, as usual, didn't even spare Liu Yong's vestment robe, stripping it off as well.
After the previous plundering of Liu Yong, the treasures on him were already scanty, quite pitiful really.
Apart from the treasured saber Liu Yong used earlier, he only had a single vestment robe and a few scattered spirit stones in his spatial ring.
Lin Chen did not know that even this treasured saber in Liu Yong's hand was borrowed from someone else.
Otherwise, as the Young Master of the Liu Family, one of the Eight Great Noble Families, and a member of the Top Ten Heroes, how could Liu Yong only have a top sixth-rank magic treasure in his possession? At the very least, he should have a half-step seventh-rank magical treasure.
After stripping Liu Yong, Lin Chen slowly walked down from the duel platform.
The disciples around, seeing Lin Chen approaching, swallowed hard as if they'd seen a monster, and hurriedly cleared a path for him.
It must be known that an expert like Liu Yong was actually defeated by Lin Chen.
Among the crowd, many had previously sneered and mocked Lin Chen.
Among the onlookers, some even wondered if the battle between Lin Chen and Liu Yong was just an act.
After all, how could a strong person like Liu Yong be defeated by Lin Chen?
But if it was really a performance, Lin Chen wouldn't have stripped Liu Yong of his clothes, leaving him completely humiliated...
After Lin Chen left the duel platform, many martial artists watching the spectacle were still immersed in the fact of Liu Yong's defeat, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, not bad at all. I used to think you were the weakest among the newcomers, but now it seems you are the strongest."
Zi Ling, walking off the duel platform with Lin Chen, patted him on the shoulder and praised him.
It was evident that she was very pleased with Lin Chen's performance today.
"Senior Sister overpraises me. How can my meager strength compare to yours? If I am a small stream, you are the vast ocean. My humble skills are merely a display of a little mastery before a great expert."
Lin Chen clasped his fists, looking at Zi Ling, and said humbly.
"Well done, lad, still being modest, huh?"
"Don't be so polite with Senior Sister. If you need my help in the future, just come to me, no need to be shy."
Zi Ling looked at Lin Chen, speaking with satisfaction.
Having witnessed the battle between Lin Chen and Liu Yong, Zi Ling was not only amazed by Lin Chen's talent and strength but also appreciated his style, especially his "fortune-building" method of seizing others' treasures and stripping them of their vestments.
Unlike Cheng Liang, who grumbles when Zi Ling beats someone up in the Outer Sect and sometimes even talks back.
Yang Minghui and Yu Weilian followed behind Lin Chen and Zi Ling.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's humble words to Zi Ling, Yang Minghui wanted to retort, saying that Lin Chen was not such a humble person.
But seeing Zi Ling so joyful, she chose not to speak, not wanting to dampen Zi Ling's mood.
However, Lin Chen noticed Yang Minghui's little action and immediately teased her.
"Brother Yang seems a bit disapproving of my compliments to Senior Sister Zi Ling, does he not?" Lin Chen glanced at Yang Minghui next to him and said with a faint smile.
"How could I not approve? Senior Sister Zi Ling is powerful, known to all in Yunlong Heavenly Palace. Naturally, I agree with what Junior Brother Lin Chen just said." Yang Minghui immediately spoke up, worried that Zi Ling might believe Lin Chen's words and think she didn't acknowledge her strength.
"Ah, you all, always speaking such truths." Yang Minghui's praise led Zi Ling to wave her hand, but her face beamed with an exceptionally happy smile.
Seeing Yang Minghui being so perceptive, Lin Chen couldn't help but shake his head secretly, contemplating that this silly girl indeed realized when he was about to mess with her, and knew when to flatter.
"Have you decided what courses to register for? I'm free today, how about I take you to the Transmission Hall myself?" Zi Ling, in a great mood today, said to Lin Chen and Yu Weilian and the others.
Indeed, Zi Ling was pleased, as the newly recruited junior brothers were full of admiration for her, unlike Cheng Liang, who often contradicted her and always complained about her fighting here and there.
But Lin Chen and his companions were different; these junior brothers and sisters seemed to have inherited her "true heritage", starting fights and knowing how to "get rich".
"We just arrived at Yunlong Heavenly Palace, unfamiliar with many aspects here."
"But without a doubt, only by being strong can we establish ourselves in Yunlong Heavenly Palace."
"Yet, what courses to choose, we would like to hear senior sister's advice." Lin Chen looked towards Zi Ling and said mildly.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen is absolutely right; being powerful is fundamentally important no matter where you are, and Yunlong Heavenly Palace is no exception."
"So, I suggest you first focus on enhancing your strength, go to the Spirit Martial Hall to learn martial skill techniques."
"Other courses, once you've been in Yunlong Heavenly Palace longer, you'll naturally know your preferences." Zi Ling said to Lin Chen and the others.
"What Senior Sister says holds great reason." Upon hearing this, Yang Minghui nodded.
"Lin Chen, how about you, going to the Spirit Martial Pavilion?" Yang Minghui, noticing that Lin Chen hadn't mentioned going to the Spirit Martial Hall, immediately asked.
At this moment, she wasn't quarreling with Lin Chen but genuinely wanted to know which course Lin Chen planned to register for.
After all, their group had just arrived at Yunlong Heavenly Palace, unfamiliar with everyone there, and Zi Ling couldn't always protect them.
So if they could study alongside Lin Chen, it would naturally be the best.
Yu Weilian, upon hearing Yang Minghui's question, also looked at Lin Chen, hoping that he would make the same choice as them.
