Chapter 121

Wuzheng Office!

At this moment, Tai Rupai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Lin Chen had not returned for two nights.

Yesterday, the county competition between Degao County and Yudong County had already ended, and today it should be the turn of their Poyang County and Yanshan County.

"My Lord, why not apply to the Wuzheng Office to delay it for another day?" Ceng Qingyao suggested.

"No."

Su Lingchuan waved his hand. Delaying it for one day, Degao County and Yudong County already had many opinions. If it were delayed further, it would only make the counties more dissatisfied with Poyang County.

Compared to the county competition, he is now more concerned about Lin Chen's whereabouts.

The only thing that makes him feel at ease is that Lin Chen's safety should not be a problem. Lin Chen was invited away by Jiang Qing. He is clear about Jiang Qing's background and will not encounter trouble in Raozhou Prefecture.

"But Lin Chen is not here, I'm afraid our county will lose this county competition."

"If we lose, then we lose. Poyang County cannot afford to lose. Losing a game will stimulate the students' fighting spirit even more, which might not be a bad thing."

Su Lingchuan could only comfort everyone like this. He didn't have any dissatisfaction with Lin Chen. From the words Tai Rupai relayed to Lin Chen, Lin Chen was willing to take the Acupoint-Opening Pill for himself, so he knew that if there wasn't really something he couldn't get away from, Lin Chen would never miss the county competition.

Thinking of the Jiang Mansion and the origin of that Lord Jiang, Su Lingchuan actually had a guess in his heart.

There are only two possibilities for what could delay Lin Chen: a breakthrough in realm or a breakthrough in martial arts at a critical moment, unable to be distracted and interrupted.

"Order the students to go to the martial arts field."

Su Lingchuan made the final decision. The Hall Masters of each hall had to go to gather their respective students. When Fu Jingya and others gathered and saw that there was no figure of Lin Chen, they all had doubts in their eyes.

Why is Lin Lin Shixiong not here?

Everyone cast their eyes on Gu Shan and Hearing Fu Ang. Gu Shan pursed his lips and remained silent. Hearing Fu Ang had a bitter smile on his face; he didn't expect Lin Lin Shixiong to be able to leave for two nights.

Dry wood meets raging fire, and it's out of control?

Lin Lin Shixiong, logically speaking, shouldn't be this kind of person.

"Let's go."

Ceng Qingyao scanned everyone and said lightly, without explaining why Lin Chen was not there.

As for Su Lingchuan, as the director of the Wuzheng Office, he naturally wouldn't enter the venue with the students.

Martial arts field.

The martial arts field of the Wuzheng Office not only covers a vast area but also has high platform seats on all four sides. This place was originally used for the Prefecture Trial competition, providing seats for martial artists watching the battle.

On the viewing platform, the martial hall students from other counties were all present.

The competition between Poyang County and Yanshan County, logically speaking, could not attract so many students, but because of the delay, students from other counties were very dissatisfied with the two counties and were all here to watch the show.

In addition to students from various counties, there were also many martial artists from the prefecture city who came to watch the battle.

Those who can enter the Wuzheng Office to watch the battle are at least Organ Cultivation martial artists. Below the Organ Cultivation stage, unless it is the Prefecture Trial, they are not qualified to enter.

The students from Poyang County and Yanshan County entered the venue almost at the same time. Both sides looked at each other and returned to their respective areas.

"Strange, why don't I see Lin Chen?"

"Could it be that he is afraid of losing and dare not fight?"

Zhu Tao had hatred for Lin Chen, but as soon as he said this, even if they were from the same county, the Yanshan County students looked at him like a fool.

Afraid of losing and dare not fight?

Is there no brain in saying this?

Zhang Qi and Shen Ge looked at each other, and there was also doubt in their eyes. In the entire Poyang County, the only one they could treat as an opponent was Lin Chen.

Lin Chen did not show up, so this county competition was extremely easy for them.

Outside the Wuzheng Office hall.

Jiang Qing looked at Su Lingchuan: "Lord Su, the situation is like this. If possible, it is best to delay the competition until Lin Chen returns."

"No need."

Su Lingchuan shook his head. Seeing Jiang Qing's confused expression, he explained with a smile: "It's just a county competition. This official can afford to lose. Compared to that, the good news you brought me is more gratifying to this official than winning the county competition."

Integration of two ranked martial arts!

Good fellow, if these words didn't come from Jiang Qing's mouth, and Jiang Qing also informed him that it was the judgment given by Senior Sister Li Wan of Santan Mountain, if it were someone else, he would have slapped him. Does he think this official is so easy to fool?

As a ranked powerhouse, Su Lingchuan personally knows what the integration of two martial arts means. If the integration is successful, it is not creating a new martial art, but just improving the grade of the martial art.

The integration of two low-grade martial arts has power that chases after middle-grade martial arts.

Even if Lin Chen fails this time, it will be of huge help to Lin Chen's understanding of martial arts.

Now Su Lingchuan admires the teacher's vision even more. He was indeed a bit short-sighted. Fortunately, he reflected in time and treated Lin Chen sincerely, rather than out of utilitarianism.

"If Miss Jiang wants to watch the battle, you can go directly to the martial arts field. This official will go in first."

Watching Su Lingchuan enter the hall, Jiang Qing was somewhat helpless. She had already entered the Martial Academy in advance and could not represent the Jing Shui Martial Hall in the battle, otherwise, it would break this balance.

A quarter of an hour later, a large group of martial arts powerhouses led by Qiu Rufeng appeared on the martial arts field.

The arrival of the Chief of the Wuzheng Office made the students at the scene excited, even though they had already seen this Wuzheng Office Lord and so many martial arts powerhouses yesterday.

"Who is Lin Chen?"

After Qiu Rufeng took his seat, he scanned the Poyang County student area and asked in a deep voice.

It doesn't matter that he asked this. Other ranked powerhouses around all had a question in their minds: Who is Lin Chen?

Even if the Wuzheng Office issued an official document, the deeds about Lin Chen and Yu Yongnian were more publicized within the martial hall, and these ranked powerhouses present had long left the martial hall and were not officials in the Wuzheng Office system, so they naturally didn't know about this.

"Chief, Lin Chen didn't come today." Su Lingchuan on the side hurriedly replied.

Qiu Rufeng looked at his disciple, but didn't continue to ask, just said lightly: "Since that's the case, let the competition begin."

On the contrary, Zhang Wangshan and other Wuzheng Office directors on the other side looked at Su Lingchuan with confusion. The competition between Poyang County and Yanshan County was delayed by one day because Lin Chen took the Acupoint-Opening Pill, but Lin Chen, who was the person involved, did not participate in the county competition?

Not participating in the county competition, but taking the Acupoint-Opening Pill?

What kind of medicine is Su Lingchuan selling in his gourd?

On the martial arts field, with a sentence of "start" from a ranked powerhouse of the Wuzheng Office, the atmosphere began to become heavy.

The intensity of the competition between Degao County and Yudong County yesterday was seen by everyone present, and there was not a single student who was not injured.

"Today's competition definitely cannot compare to yesterday's. After all, the overall strength of Poyang County and Yanshan County is not as good as the two counties yesterday."

"Not necessarily. Zhang Qi and Shen Ge of Yanshan County are not weak. This competition still has something to watch."

Amidst the discussion of students from various counties watching the battle, Zhang Qi did not hesitate and walked to the center of the martial arts field first.

"Zhang Qi of Yanshan County, willing to exchange with ten Junior Brothers from Poyang County!"

Wow!

As soon as Zhang Qi said this, there was an uproar at the scene, mainly erupted by students from other counties watching the battle.

They had thought that there would be a situation of one against many in this round of competition, but they didn't expect Zhang Qi to be so arrogant.

One against ten!

On the Poyang County side, Fei Hong and others had very ugly complexions. Zhang Qi's words were a disdain for them.

"Young and frivolous, should be beaten."

Zhang Wangshan pretended to scold, Su Lingchuan just snorted coldly. In terms of pretending, Lin Lin Shixiong Zhang is really a master.

He didn't believe that he, as the director of the Wuzheng Office, would be unaware of Zhang Qi's plan to challenge ten people?

The other ranked powerhouses around were also human spirits, just smiling without answering.

"Yanshan County produced such a seedling this year, actually wanting to fight one against ten?"

"Haha, our Yanshan County didn't just produce one good seedling this year. Zhang Qi is the second place in the third-month competition, and there is an even stronger Shen Ge who hasn't made a move yet."

On the viewing platform, many Organ Cultivation martial artists who came to watch the battle walked out of various counties. Since there is a competition in the county, they naturally want to support it.

The Organ Cultivation martial artist who spoke came from Yanshan County and also understood the situation of the martial hall students in Yanshan County this year.

"I'm afraid the wind is too strong and will flash the tongue, and then slap your own face." This was the counterattack of the Organ Cultivation martial artist who walked out of Poyang County.

On the field, Zhang Qi quickly picked ten people.

The remaining nine people in Poyang County were not picked. Zhang Qi looked at the remaining nine people including Fei Hong: "I didn't pick you just because I wanted to leave some for Lin Lin Shixiong Shen. Otherwise, if they were all defeated by me, I'm afraid Lin Lin Shixiong Shen would feel that this competition is very boring."

Zhang Qi's arrogant words caused collective anger on the Poyang County side.

"Really arrogant, win against our ten people first."

Zhang Qing of the Tie Xue Martial Hall, who was picked, snorted, and then said to the other nine people around him: "Since the other party is so arrogant, we don't need to show mercy!"

Do it!

Zhang Qing and the ten people moved almost at the same time.

They understood in their hearts that Zhang Qi had already opened sixteen acupoints, which was three acupoints higher than them in realm.

But a fierce tiger cannot hold back a pack of wolves. They don't believe Zhang Qi can deal with so many of them at the same time.

"In a while, you will know what despair is!"

Zhang Qi had a ferocious look on his face, his momentum climbed, actually like a fierce beast, his figure burst out, and he punched the nearest Zhang Qing.

Roar!

The punch surface blasted out, carrying the sound of a fierce tiger roaring. Zhang Qing also issued a cannon sound with the Tie Beng Fist to collide with it.

Crack!

The two fists collided, Zhang Qing's complexion changed instantly, and the next moment his whole figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

One move!

Defeat Zhang Qing!

Meng Yuan and others saw this scene, their pupils contracted sharply, Zhang Qi had a cruel smile on his face, and the next moment he rushed over like a fierce beast.

One punch, then another punch!

The fierce tiger enters the mountain, unstoppable.

"Great Success Tiger Roar Fist!"

The martial artists watching exclaimed.

"The suppression of the three-acupoint realm, plus the Great Success Tiger Roar Fist, Zhang Qi is already invincible."

Thirty breaths!

In just thirty breaths, on the martial arts field, only Zhang Qi was left standing in place.

Although he was also colored, his injuries were not heavy.

Su Lingchuan's complexion was iron-blue, and the Hall Masters of the eight major martial halls of Poyang County had the same expression. Poyang County lost too miserably in this battle.

"Unbearable to a single blow."

Zhang Qi curled his lips and looked at Shen Ge: "Lin Lin Shixiong Shen, the rest will be handed over to you, so as not to make Lin Lin Shixiong feel boring."

"This Zhang Qi is so arrogant."

Students from other counties couldn't look past it, but as soon as his words came out, they were refuted by others around.

"Only with strength can you be arrogant. Martial arts relies on strength to speak. Poyang County doesn't have this strength, so it should obediently admit defeat."

On the viewing platform, Jiang Qing looked at Zhang Qi's arrogant appearance, and her beautiful eyes also had coldness. Just when she decided whether to break this balance and play for Poyang County, her peripheral vision aimed at a figure at the entrance of the martial arts field.

Seeing this figure appear, a smile appeared on Jiang Qing's face.

Junior Lin Lin Shixiong, you still arrived.
