I'm Already A Great Emperor, And The System Wants Me To Be The Heroine's Lackey? - Chapter 46

At this point, it was Lin Chen’s turn to take the stage for his match.

He was up against a female disciple from the Illusionary Sound Valley. When she stepped onto the platform and realized that her opponent was Lin Chen, she froze for a moment, her face contorted in disgust.

The Illusionary Sound Valley seemed destined to be connected with Lin Chen, the protagonist. Jiun Jiuxiao speculated that someone from Illusionary Sound Valley was likely one of Lin Chen’s harem members. Could it be the sect leader herself?

Jun Jiuxiao examined the female sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Valley. Her demeanor was decent, but her looks were average, so it probably wasn’t her.

Jun Jiuxiao then scanned the other female disciples from the Illusionary Sound Valley and found that none of them had particularly outstanding appearances. Perhaps Lin Chen’s harem member from Illusionary Sound Valley wasn’t participating this time.

He shifted his focus back to Lin Chen, observing the male lead more carefully.

Ji Lanqing noticed that Jun Jiuxiao’s gaze first swept over the Illusionary Sound Valley’s sect leader and then looked at the female disciples from the Illusionary Sound Valley.

She secretly gritted her teeth—there were just too many vixens out there. It would be best if the Holy Son stayed with her on Xuantian Peak and never came out again.

After Lin Chen took the stage, the female disciple from Illusionary Sound Valley couldn’t endure the stench coming from him and vomited immediately.

Lin Chen’s face darkened as he watched the female disciple retch the moment he appeared on stage. He silently swore that he and Illusionary Sound Valley would be at odds from now on.

Three times—this was the third time Illusionary Sound Valley had offended him. He wouldn’t be a gentleman if he didn’t avenge this insult.

The inner disciple responsible for this arena immediately stepped back as soon as Lin Chen took the stage. Even though he distanced himself from Lin Chen, the stench was still overwhelming, forcing him to cover his nose and mouth to minimize the intake of the foul odor.

The female disciple from Illusionary Sound Valley, after vomiting for a while, didn’t even wait for Lin Chen to announce his name before grabbing her weapon and launching an attack. She was afraid that if she stayed on the platform with him any longer, she might faint from the smell.

Caught off guard by the sneak attack from the Illusionary Sound Valley disciple, Lin Chen was initially a bit flustered. However, within a dozen breaths, he regained his composure and began to overpower the female disciple.

Realizing that she couldn’t defeat Lin Chen and that even if she continued, no amount of bathing would rid her of the stench, the female disciple shouted to the inner disciple overseeing the platform, “I concede! It’s too smelly, I can’t take it anymore, I surrender!”

The inner sect disciple of Xuantian Holy Land quickly activated the formation to allow the female disciple to leave.

Once outside, she hurriedly moved away from Lin Chen and took a deep breath, finally feeling like she was alive again.

Everyone present sympathized with her. She was the first person in the history of the Xuantian Holy Land’s affiliated sects’ outer sect entrance competition to surrender due to a foul smell.

Perhaps she was also the first person on the entire Endless Continent to lose a match because of a stench.

Lin Chen stood awkwardly on the stage, his face flushed with anger as he noticed everyone pointing and whispering about him. He was on the verge of exploding with rage.

Once his cultivation improved, Lin Chen vowed to massacre everyone in Illusionary Sound Valley, especially that female disciple from today—he would make her life a living hell.

The Xuantian Holy Land’s inner disciple who was overseeing the platform, overwhelmed by the stench, reminded Lin Chen, “You’ve already won. Get down quickly so we can start the next match.”

Lin Chen glared at the inner sect disciple before leaving the stage.

The next two competitors, who were supposed to fight on that platform, waited for a while before going up, hoping the stench would dissipate a bit.

Others who were scheduled to use that platform were already thinking that if they faced Lin Chen, they wouldn’t waste time talking and would go straight for the kill. If they couldn’t beat him, they’d surrender quickly.

Elder Ma from the Five Elements Sect watched the scene below and mockingly said to Fairy Miao Yin, “Who would have thought that the stench from Fairy Miao Yin’s disciple could have such a useful effect? Truly an eye-opener.”

Fairy Miao Yin kept silent, accepting the ridicule. After all, Lin Chen was a disciple of the Nine Suns Sect and her own disciple, leaving her no room to retort.

Jiun Jiuxiao hadn’t expected that such a small prank would cause the protagonist, Lin Chen, to become so infamous, detested by everyone around him.

From that point on, Lin Chen’s opponents all followed the same pattern: the moment Lin Chen stepped onto the platform, they would immediately unleash their most lethal moves. If they realized they couldn’t defeat him, they’d concede right away.

As the protagonist, Lin Chen was no stranger to killing opponents who were stronger than him, so these matches typically served as opportunities for him to flaunt his superiority and humiliate others.

However, everyone present believed that his opponents surrendered not because of Lin Chen’s strength, but because they couldn’t bear the stench. To them, Lin Chen wasn’t that impressive.

Lin Chen made it into the top ten as expected. However, the other nine disciples who also reached the top ten looked down on him. They had all won their matches fair and square, but Lin Chen, this despicable person, had used such underhanded methods to secure his place.

They believed Lin Chen had deliberately made himself stink just to mess with the other disciples’ minds during the competition. This guy was truly malicious, and they disdained associating with him.

Elder Ma from the Five Elements Sect, seeing that his own disciple had also been defeated by Lin Chen, sarcastically remarked, “Could it be that Fairy Miaoyin and her disciple had planned this underhanded scheme from the start? What a vicious strategy.”

Fairy Miao Yin merely responded, “Miaoyin despises such tactics.” She stopped speaking after that. Women of the male protagonist always acted aloof and never explained themselves.

“No matter what strategy was used, winning is what matters. But it’s best not to see such dishonorable victories in the future,” Jun Jiuxiao, trying to ease the atmosphere while subtly accusing Lin Chen of being malicious and unworthy, made this statement.

Given Jiun Jiuxiao’s status, everyone had to respect his words, and with that, the matter was settled. No one brought it up again.
