Chapter 2427: Chapter 2428: Strange Person

Indeed, as previously mentioned, Lu Han did not harbor too much hatred towards Lin Chen; he only intended to "teach" him a lesson.

However, the attack Lu Han executed was beyond his control, so upon seeing Lin Chen’s lack of reaction, Lu Han became anxious.

And amidst his anxiety, this punch had already been launched, closing in on Lin Chen to just a few inches away!

The sharp fist wind rushed towards him, and at such a distance, Lin Chen could sense the terrifying strength contained within it.

Yet, this force did not cause any fluctuation on Lin Chen’s face, for he was ultimately a Spirit Pill Stage Five expert!

Such prowess made him a leading figure among the young in the Green Ripple Sect, hardly one to drastically change his expression because of Lu Han’s attack.

He continued to smile indifferently as he watched Lu Han, who was slightly hunched, but at the same time, his hands began to move.

Before Lu Han could react, Lin Chen’s right hand abruptly extended upward.

Its momentum was like thunder, seemingly carrying a force capable of shattering everything, despite the fleeting concentration of spiritual energy. Yet, the power gathered from his left hand was not much inferior to Lu Han’s.

The left hand, with lightning speed, quickly climbed, extending from Lin Chen’s body to meet Lu Han’s fist coming downward.

Even though Lin Chen was acting after the fact, the speed was astonishingly fast. In but an instant, his fist met the terrifying force of Lu Han’s punch.

A loud "bang" resounded from the collision.

Two flesh fists collided together in front of Lin Chen’s chest, erupting with an exceptionally loud noise, akin to two hard rocks crashing into each other.

And in the brief moment of collision, Lu Han’s face suddenly changed!

From initial concern, his expression turned to one of pain!

Following this, his body swiftly flew backward, like a javelin thrown, tracing an arc and landing on the ground a dozen meters away.

Beads of sweat covered Lu Han’s face as he supported himself with one hand on the ground, breathing heavily from his wide-open mouth.

His right arm, which had just gathered immense strength, now hung limply at his side, unable to move,

The numbness transmitted from his hand deeply shocked Lu Han, further stimulating his forehead to drip with large beads of sweat.

"How is this possible..."

Lu Han had always had great confidence in his strength, a confidence stemming from the fact that among those of similar age in the Green Ripple Sect, not many had higher skills than him.

Yet the Lin Chen before him, seemingly delicate-looking and about twenty years old, had already made Lu Han prepared because he understood Lin Chen might be slightly stronger than him.

But what he didn’t expect was that Lin Chen’s strength was so much higher than Lu Han’s, despite it being a hasty counterattack rather than Lin Chen using his full power, indicating what damage Lin Chen could cause if he went all out.

The blow Lu Han felt earlier was only diminished due to the distance of the spiritual energy, preventing Lu Han from comprehending the full power of the attack.

Only now, in close contact, Lu Han realized Lin Chen was not someone to be trifled with.

"Lin Chen... Lin Chen... Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Lu Han seemed to recall something, standing still, muttering Lin Chen’s name repeatedly, as if trying to jog his memory of Lin Chen.

"Are you alright?"

Lin Chen smiled and walked over slowly.

Though Lu Han was the first to make a move, in Lin Chen’s eyes, it wasn’t really Lu Han’s fault, as Lin Chen had mistakenly attacked first.

Moreover, Lu Han consistently warned him without knowing Lin Chen’s strength, which also made Lin Chen feel good about him, at least Lu Han wasn’t a bad person.

Lin Chen wore a smile as he stepped forward, slightly bending over, reaching out his hand, intending to help Lu Han up.

Although he counterattacked earlier, Lin Chen’s retaliation wasn’t strong and was executed with his left hand rather than the right, merely repelling Lu Han without causing significant harm.

"You’re Lin Chen!"

As Lin Chen helped Lu Han to his feet, Lu Han suddenly widened his eyes and shouted.

This sudden outburst made Lin Chen pause; then he nodded and said, "Yes, didn’t I just say..."

Lin Chen said bewilderedly. He had just revealed his identity, or perhaps this person in front of him had such a long reaction time that he only realized now.

"No wonder, no wonder, no wonder..."

Lu Han released Lin Chen’s hand and began pacing back and forth, still muttering to himself.

Lin Chen uttered a light "huh," observing Lu Han’s odd behavior, shaking his head slightly, thinking perhaps this person wasn’t too bright.

Lin Chen thought as he lifted his leg to leave this place.

But as he hadn’t walked far, there appeared a silhouette before him with a sudden sound.

The figure was, of course, Lu Han again, but just as he was about to react, "plop," Lu Han suddenly knelt down.

"What are you..."

Lin Chen was shocked; from the moment Lu Han appeared until now, none of his actions made sense to Lin Chen.

Given that Lu Han sought him out due to Lin Chen mistakenly attacking him earlier, Lin Chen could still understand.

But what was happening now?

"I... I want to become your disciple!"

After a brief thought, Lu Han shouted, his voice loud and clear, causing Lin Chen’s ears to tremble slightly.

"Upon first entering the Green Ripple Sect, I heard of your great name, but being shortsighted and forgetful prevented me from realizing before, I ask for forgiveness, Master,"

Faced with Lin Chen’s puzzled expression, Lu Han continued speaking.

However, his form of address had changed.

Then he placed his hands on the ground and bowed his head heavily several times.

"Master, please accept your pupil’s respect!"

Lu Han’s bow was so forceful that stones on the ground left faint scars on his forehead, but he remained unmoved, staring resolutely at Lin Chen.
