"Elder Huang's words hold much truth. We originally contemplated bestowing merits upon Lin Chen to motivate the martial spirit and fighting will of the other disciples. However, we did not foresee that Lin Chen would mistakenly believe he truly killed Xue Yuanqing, thus leading to a miscalculation on our part."
The other elders from the Formation Sect, upon hearing Huang Chengming's words, also couldn't help but shake their heads and bitterly smile, secretly thinking how Lin Chen could be so conceited.
However, these elders were not present at the Endless Sky Battlefield at that time and credited Lin Chen with the accomplishments later, following a command from Elder Shi, a word from Qin Batian — it was natural for everyone to comply.
Thus, those who fawned over Qin Batian exaggerated Lin Chen's merits a bit, for after all, slaying Xue Yuanqing truly was a significant achievement and no one voiced any objections.
