Chapter 189: Senior Pei, I accept the challenge!

Mount Mount Wudao!

As the phantom of Pei Pei Qingming in green clothes suddenly solidified, a cold light killed toward him.

Such fast speed!

Lin Chen's pupils contracted, and his Wind and Cloud Palm wrapped in thunderous sound slammed out.

Bang!

Lin Chen retreated several steps, his eyes lowered to look at his left chest, where his clothes had already split, with a bloodstain similar to one made by a long sword.

"Such fast speed, such bizarre moves."

He didn't see how the other party made the move, but he could be certain of one thing: this senior definitely didn't use a weapon. It was impossible for the Open-Acupuncture stage to use weapons, so the other party's fist technique, palm technique, or finger technique had reached the effect of a sword.

If it weren't for his Zhen Yue Spectrum having been cultivated to the second layer, this blow alone would have been enough to pierce his chest and make him lose his combat effectiveness.

Was this the strength of the twentieth acupuncture point? Compared to the previous seniors, it was too high.

Having challenged on Mount Mount Wudao for so long, Lin Chen also had some understanding of the strength of the seniors at each acupuncture point. The strength of the seniors at each acupuncture point increased in steps, but this step was within a reasonable height. However, the strength of the senior in front of him had suddenly increased to a height he couldn't step over.

It was like the height of the steps of the previous seniors' strength; he could cross it by lifting his foot, and it was still within the range of crossing. But this senior in front of him had suddenly risen to a height he couldn't step over.

"It seems I still underestimated the geniuses of Great Liang!"

The burning pain in his chest made Lin Chen somewhat excited. If it were a crushing victory all the way, it would certainly be cool, but it was far from as satisfying as a battle that brought him pressure.

This time, Lin Chen didn't wait for the other party to make a move. His whole body's Qi and blood circulated, the acupuncture points on his body were vaguely visible through his skin, and True Blood surged in his meridians like a river. Wind and Cloud Palm started, and Lin Chen's right palm even revealed a visible vortex in the center.

During this period, Lin Chen had never given up on cultivating the Wind and Cloud Palm.

Wind and Cloud Palm was the palm technique he fused from the Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm. It was a palm technique belonging to his own creation. The more times he cultivated it, the deeper his understanding of the palm technique became.

Whoosh!

Lin Chen's Gale Leg suddenly activated under his feet. He didn't sweep out, but relied on the power of the Gale Leg, and his figure turned into a residual image and rushed straight toward the other party.

Body like a gale, palm like thunder!

Pei Pei Qingming's phantom seemed to sense something. The next moment, his right hand joined his fingers, and like a sword, he also slashed toward him.

So it was a finger technique!

This time Lin Chen saw Pei Pei Qingming's move clearly. The other party's two fingers hadn't arrived, but a sharp finger wind like sword Qi had already attacked!

Bang!

Wind and Cloud Palm fell.

Before the finger and palm collided, the two strands of Gang wind first strangled together, and the clothes on both of them rustled!

Just at the moment when the finger and palm were about to collide, Pei Pei Qingming changed his fingers, and at the same time, Lin Chen also changed his palm.

Both of them had thought of the same thing!

Bang bang bang!

The instantaneous change didn't reduce the speed of Lin Chen and Pei Pei Qingming. The two figures had already exchanged several moves between their crossings.

Lin Chen looked at the bloodstains revealed by the torn clothes on his body, with hot fighting intent in his eyes. Pei Pei Qingming's face didn't change, but his clothes also had many tears.

Fight again!

Lin Chen didn't have any pause and slapped out with his palm.

Pei Pei Qingming didn't speak, only responding with a sword finger.

Palm one, palm two, palm three, palm four, palm five...

Wind and Cloud Palm had seven moves in total, but Lin Chen could only perform five moves so far, and Lin Chen didn't take any grand names for these five moves; he simply used numbers to replace them.

The simpler, the stronger.

On the steps, sword flowers condensed from sword Qi appeared around Pei Pei Qingming. Every time the sword flowers bloomed, dozens of finger winds comparable to sword Qi would inevitably pierce everything around.

And Lin Chen was like a furnace, his whole body was red, accompanied by rolling wind and thunder, and every palm could feel the terrifying palm wind contained in the vast Qi and blood transformed.

Ten moves, a hundred moves...

Three hundred moves...

Fighting to the end, Lin Chen had forgotten about winning or losing. This was the first time he had performed the Wind and Cloud Palm so many times, and it was so satisfying.

This feeling of flowing water was different from the hard cultivation he had done alone in the past.

Cultivation in battle was far from what he could compare to by hard cultivation alone.

Palm five... palm five...

Lin Chen's moves changed. He performed the fifth move of Wind and Cloud Palm several times in a row. He had a premonition that this battle had mobilized the True Blood in his body to an extremely active degree, as if even the True Blood knew he was facing an extremely powerful enemy and was accelerating its circulation involuntarily.

Faster, faster...

Suddenly!

Lin Chen's figure suddenly retreated a foot, looking at Pei Pei Qingming: "I accept the challenge, Senior Pei!"

As the words fell, the True Blood in Lin Chen's body circulated at a terrifying speed, passing through his body in the Qi and blood circulation method of the first five moves of Wind and Cloud Palm extremely quickly.

"Palm six!"

With a soft whisper, Lin Chen slapped out with his right palm.

The sixth move of Wind and Cloud Palm finally allowed him to perform it.

Relying on the satisfying exchange with this Senior Pei, the True Blood in his body reached an extremely active degree, reaching the conditions for performing the sixth move for the first time.

As soon as Palm six came out, the entire step instantly fell silent!

A palm slapped out, silent and soundless.

Pei Pei Qingming on the opposite side also seemed to feel the threat of this palm of Lin Chen. His clothes moved without wind, and his two fingers actually turned into one finger, also pointing out, also soundless.

Silent collision!

This palm of Lin Chen directly penetrated Pei Pei Qingming's finger and penetrated the other party's chest.

A breath later, Pei Pei Qingming's figure dissipated.

Regarding the dissipation of this Senior Pei's figure, Lin Chen's expression didn't change at all. From the moment he performed this sixth move of Wind and Cloud Palm, he knew he had won.

Palm six: Three-Fold Strength.

Condensing the power of the first five moves into one palm, it could overlap up to three layers, but he could only overlap one layer now.

Not enough True Blood!

Perhaps when the True Blood in his body reached 5 million, he would be able to fully exert the full power of Palm six.

If he hadn't cultivated Wind and Cloud Palm day and night, even if he met this Senior Pei today, he wouldn't have been able to perform the sixth move of Wind and Cloud Palm.

It was precisely because of his past cultivation, coupled with the insights from today's battle, that he achieved the conditions for performing the sixth move.

Diligence doesn't necessarily mean you can see the harvest immediately.

But at some point in the future, as the opportunity arrives, it will inevitably bring a rich return.

This battle was an opportunity for Lin Chen.

【Mount Mount Wudao name-leaver: Jiangnan Dao Raozhou Prefecture Lin Chen, three name-leavings!】

While Lin Chen was savoring this battle, the voice of Mount Mount Wudao woke Lin Chen up.

Only this time, there was no seven-colored light screen around the steps.

【Original two-star Martial Way Seal, upgraded to three stars.】

Hearing this voice, Lin Chen noticed that in front of him, the Martial Way Seal appeared out of thin air.

He was still curious where this Martial Way Seal, which he had held in his hand earlier and allowed him to enter Mount Mount Wudao with a thought, had gone.

Reaching out to grasp the Martial Way Seal, Lin Chen noticed that there was another star slot at the very top, and at the same time, these three star slots seemed to have liquid flowing, slowly filling the slots, and finally turning into three silver stars.

Three-star Bai Yin?

Three-star Bai Yin?

Lin Chen muttered subconsciously, thinking of a game from his previous life.

【Three-star Martial Way Seal: Lin Chen】

【Martial Points: 3】 (Leaving name for a full year, increases 2 Martial Points)

【With 10 Martial Points, you can ascend to the second stage of Mount Mount Wudao!】

【Wearing this seal, with a thought, you can enter Mount Mount Wudao.】

【Those who hold this seal, walking within the territory of our Great Liang, all local government offices and Martial Administration Offices shall provide convenience.】

【This seal carries two strands of Lower-Grade Martial Way Fighting Intent. In a crisis, crush the seal, and the fighting intent will appear.】

Seeing the changes in the Martial Way Seal, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. The change wasn't very big; it was mainly the change in Martial Points, and there was one more strand of Lower-Grade Fighting Intent, which could be considered a protective talisman. "So, how should I leave now? Jump off the steps?"

Just as this thought popped into Lin Chen's mind, he felt his eyes blur. After recovering, he discovered that he had returned to the back mountain, maintaining the posture of holding the Martial Way Seal.

"Three stars, I'm not dreaming!"

Regarding the magical means of this Martial Way Seal, if it weren't for the three silver stars on it being extremely conspicuous, he would have doubted whether he had had a dream.

The blood hole on his hand disappeared, the bloodstains on his body disappeared, and even his clothes were intact.

"It seems this Mount Mount Wudao should be a virtual space-like existence. Maybe I was just fighting with those illusory figures earlier, so my main body wouldn't be injured. The Taizu Emperor was truly capable of creating such a magical thing."

After sighing, Lin Chen put the Martial Way Seal back into his bosom.

Linhu Village back mountain.

Lin Chen walked out of the mountain forest. Not seeing his teacher's figure, he pondered for a moment and walked toward the lakeside.

Since his teacher wasn't in the back mountain, he should be with that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Liu.

"Lin Lin Shidi, why aren't you cultivating today?"

Qu Feng was fishing by the lake. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head and saw it was Lin Chen, with a look of surprise on his face.

At this time, Lin Lin Shidi should be cultivating in the back mountain; how could he have time to come here?

Did he get tired of cultivating and want to relax?

"Lin Lin Shidi, cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. If you keep cultivating, it's easy to fall into obsession. Like me, finding a hobby, such as this fishing... not only can it cultivate the state of mind, but it can also enjoy the joy of fighting with fish."

"Has Lin Lin Shixiong Qu married?"

"Not yet married. Why does Lin Lin Shidi ask this?"

Qu Feng was puzzled. What did his liking for fishing have to do with whether he was married or not?

Great Liang martial artists, especially those from good family backgrounds like them, wouldn't consider marriage before entering the ranked tier, at most just setting an engagement.

"Where we come from, unless it's for a living, there's only one kind of person who likes fishing: those who have the heart but not the strength... they can only entrust their feelings to the mountains and rivers and fishing."

Lin Chen answered gloomily. Qu Feng was stunned, but quickly reacted to the meaning in Lin Chen's words.

Ptooey!

Qu Feng threw the fishing rod to the side and explained: "Lin Lin Shidi, don't misunderstand. This is just a pure hobby of mine."

Lin Chen nodded, indicating he understood.

"Lin Lin Shidi, do you really understand?"

Qu Feng was somewhat anxious. This related to his innocence and couldn't be misunderstood.

"Understand."

"As long as you understand, Lin Lin Shixiong is just..."

"What understand or not understand? What are you two talking about?"

Liu Ru's voice came from not far away. Lin Chen and Qu Feng looked at the same time, and when they saw the figures of Liu Ru and Jia Jia Nanzhu, they both opened their mouths to greet them.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi, Yu Yu Jiaoxi Liu."

"Lord Jia, Yu Yu Jiaoxi."

Jia Jia Nanzhu's gaze swept over Lin Chen, but this sweep stopped: "Broken through to the twentieth acupuncture point?"

"Yes, this disciple just broke through to the twentieth acupuncture point."

Hearing Lin Chen admit it, Qu Feng's gaze also instantly locked onto Lin Chen: "Lin Lin Shidi, you broke through to the twentieth acupuncture point, so doesn't that mean you're going to challenge Mount Mount Wudao?"

"Just after breaking through, I couldn't help but go to Mount Mount Wudao to challenge." Lin Chen smiled.

"Lin Chen, you've already gone to Mount Mount Wudao to challenge? How was it?"

Hearing that Lin Chen had already gone to Mount Mount Wudao, Liu Ru had a sharp glint in his eyes, staring fixedly at Lin Chen with anticipation.

"This disciple was lucky enough to succeed in the challenge." Lin Chen said modestly.

"Impossible!"

A high-pitched voice came from Qu Feng's mouth. Seeing his own instructor's dissatisfied gaze sweep over, Qu Feng hurriedly explained: "Lin Lin Shidi, I know you want to play a joke on us, but there's no need for this. Your Linhu Village can't possibly have Mount Mount Wudao. Where did you go to challenge?"

Mount Mount Wudao—was it something that could be found everywhere?

Not to mention Linhu Village, Qu Feng estimated that the entire Poyang Prefecture didn't have one.

"You idiot, since you are sitting in a well and looking at the sky, don't come out and make a fool of yourself. Anyone who has left their name on Mount Mount Wudao twice will get a token of Mount Mount Wudao. No matter where they are, they can enter Mount Mount Wudao at any time."

If it weren't for Lord Jia and Lin Chen being present, he would have kicked him now.

"Ah, it can be like this?"

Qu Feng looked aggrieved. He really didn't know, and he hadn't left his name on Mount Mount Wudao before.

"Lin Chen, did you really succeed in the challenge?"

Liu Ru didn't pay attention to Qu Feng anymore, turning his face toward Lin Chen, returning to his gentle appearance, his voice also gentle and soft.

"Yes, this disciple succeeded in the challenge. If the instructor doesn't believe..."

"Believe, this instructor believes!"

Liu Ru directly interrupted Lin Chen's words. There was no need for Lin Chen to lie about such things, because it had no meaning. Whether he left his name or not, the academy would know as soon as they investigated.

"Lin Chen, who was the opponent at the twentieth acupuncture point?"

Since Lin Chen said he succeeded in the challenge, Jia Jia Nanzhu, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked.

"Senior Pei Pei Qingming."

Just after Lin Chen finished answering, Qu Feng erupted in exclamation again.

"Holy shit!"

Martial Administration Department!

The bell rang!

Kong Zhao Qifeng, dressed in white robes, stood in front of the stone wall, looking at the name at the twentieth acupuncture point: Pei Pei Qingming.

The three characters "Pei Pei Qingming" gradually faded, replaced by a new name: Lin Chen.

Eighteenth acupuncture point: Lin Chen.

Nineteenth acupuncture point: Lin Chen.

Twentieth acupuncture point: Lin Chen.

"Left his name on Mount Mount Wudao three times and even defeated Pei Pei Qingming. He is truly a magical little guy, worthy of this old man making this trip personally."

Kong Zhao Qifeng's gaze passed through the stone wall and looked toward the direction of Jiangnan Dao.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Kong!"

At the next moment, several old figures also appeared in front of the stone wall. When they saw the name above, there was a look of shock in their pupils.

Leaving his name on Mount Mount Wudao three times was indeed shocking, but it was far from as shocking as defeating Pei Pei Qingming.

"Announce to Great Liang, this department is personally going to Jiangnan Dao."
