Chapter 35: The Cruelty of the Martial Hall is Even Worse than the Martial Hall

The next day, dawn's faint light!

In the courtyard, Lin Chen began to practice.

He practiced for a full half hour before stopping, and at this moment the sky had only just turned slightly white.

For Lin Chen, sleeping three hours a day was enough for him to be full of energy the next day.

As for why he didn't sleep during the day and practice at night, it was because the human body needs the harmony of Yin and Yang, and needs to see the sun. It would be fine for a short time, but if it lasted for a long time, it would inevitably affect Qi and blood.

Taking off his practice clothes, he rubbed them simply in a water bucket twice and hung them on the bamboo pole in the courtyard. Lin Chen walked out of the dormitory.

Martial Hall students must gather at the practice field today.

First appearance at the practice field, it is the practice field used by new students.

There are three practice fields in the entire Jing Shui Wuguan, named Chulu, Diewu, and Fengming.

Among them, the Chulu practice field is for new students, while Diewu is for old students. As for Fengming, it is the largest practice field, and activities like competitions for all disciples and some large-scale activities will be held in the Fengming practice field.

The names of the practice fields are very literary!

This is the difference between Jing Shui Wuguan and other martial halls. Lin Chen learned from Lu Yongfeng, Zhao Jingchuan, and others that other martial halls name their practice fields very casually.

Either they call them by serial numbers A, B, and C, or they call them by location, such as East District and West District……

In the words of students from those martial halls, what's the point of a practice field having a name? It was those women in Jing Shui Wuguan who would come up with these fancy names.

……

……

When Lin Chen arrived at the Chulu practice field, there were already many female students in the practice field, with more than thirty people at a glance. Judging from the red faces of these female students, most of them had not yet opened their apertures.

Scanning around roughly, his attention was attracted by several female students at the very front. It wasn't that these female students were very beautiful, but that these female students didn't have a blush on their faces, indicating that their Qi and blood had been restrained and they had reached the Aperture-Opening Stage.

Thinking about it, Lin Chen finally stood in the front row.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be low-key, but he couldn't be low-key. Even if he stood at the very back, he was still the brightest one in the whole field. Who told him to be the only male student in the whole field?

Lin Chen stood in the front row, which also aroused the curiosity of the three female students on the side, who looked over one after another.

"Junior brother Lin Chen, I have met the three senior sisters." Lin Chen took the initiative to speak, showing the most sincere smile.

"You are the legendary male student of our Martial Hall." The tallest of the three female students looked at Lin Chen unscrupulously: "Not bad, looks better than those rough people in the Iron Blood Martial Hall next door."

"Although Lin Lin Shidi is a bit dark, it doesn't matter. Senior sister has rouge here, the top-grade Golden Swallow Powder from the Golden Swallow Shop. I can lend it to you to use, guaranteed to make you white and tender."

Lin Chen: ……

Are female students all so familiar?

Isn't it normal for men to be dark and rough?

And…… how did he become the legendary male student?

The word "legendary" is generally placed on the protagonist of gossip. He doesn't seem to have any gossip.

"Thank you, senior sister, but junior brother thinks it's fine as it is, no need to change." Lin Chen politely refused.

"Stop joking with Lin Lin Shidi. Lin Lin Shidi, I am Li Xue, currently opened three apertures, and this is Xiao Xiao Shimei Fang, also three apertures. Although Xiao Xiao Shimei Xiao is only two apertures, there is no problem in stepping into three apertures this month. What is Lin Lin Shidi's current stage?"

Qingfeng Wuguan talks about size based on strength. Li Xue was obviously the strongest among the three. When she said this, the other two didn't tease Lin Chen anymore.

"Junior brother, I luckily broke through to two apertures yesterday, and cannot compare with several senior sisters."

Lin Chen was a bit helpless. He suddenly understood one thing: the new batch of female disciples of Jing Shui Wuguan, especially the female disciples in the Aperture-Opening Stage, might be of higher overall quality than other martial halls.

He had already figured out the reason just now!

Regardless of how open the atmosphere of this world is, but after contacting the villagers for more than a year, he knew that the phenomenon of valuing boys over girls still existed.

In such a situation, those who can still cultivate girls to learn martial arts must be extraordinary families.

This kind of situation is because before cultivating girls, they must have cultivated family boys, and there is still surplus money……

Taking his own family situation as an example, if he hadn't fallen out with his grandfather, in the situation where the family supported Lin Ming to learn martial arts, between cousin Xixi and himself, his grandfather would definitely support him to learn martial arts. For cousin Xixi to also learn martial arts, there is only one possibility: the family money can support all grandsons to learn martial arts and still have more.

These are not senior sisters, these are all white, rich, and beautiful!

Of course, it doesn't exclude parents who really dote on their daughters, or there are really no boys, but in Lin Chen's view, this possibility is more likely for those junior sisters behind him who haven't opened their apertures.

Hearing that Lin Chen had only opened two apertures, Li Xue and the others had surprise in their beautiful eyes. It was normal to only open two apertures, but it was surprising to have opened the second aperture only yesterday.

Originally, they thought the Martial Hall made an exception to accept this Lin Lin Shidi because Lin Lin Shidi had extremely high potential. Now it seems that there is some inside story.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit silent.

Lin Chen wasn't embarrassed. His family background and stage couldn't be hidden. If someone wanted to inquire, it wouldn't be a secret, let alone in Jing Shui Wuguan, where there were groups of female disciples.

Just as a few people were silent, several figures appeared at the entrance of the practice field. Seeing these five figures, five female students came together and went straight to the front of the practice field.

"The one at the front should be Jiang Jiang Shijie Jiang Qing, right? She had already opened five apertures when she entered the Martial Hall yesterday. She is the one with the highest stage on the day of enrollment in the Martial Hall in the past twenty years."

Li Xue whispered, her voice full of envy. Lin Chen's gaze also looked at the one walking at the front.

Wearing a simple practice suit, her long black hair was tied behind her head at will, and a few strands of broken hair swayed gently with the wind, looking both capable and neat, without losing innocence and playfulness.

Jiang Qing didn't care about the reaction of the students in the practice field. She had long been accustomed to it. Her beautiful eyes swept across the audience, but when her gaze swept to Lin Chen, she paused for a moment, then walked straight to the front.

Lin Chen didn't think too much of himself, feeling that the person's gaze stayed on him for a moment because she had any good feelings for him. It was purely because he was a man, which made this Jiang Jiang Shijie Jiang feel surprised.

Not long after Jiang Qing and the others arrived, from the corridor passage on the other side of the practice field, the figures of Kong Yinglei and another female instructor also appeared.

The students on the scene also quieted down, looking at these two.

For those students who hadn't opened their apertures, they only knew that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Shen, who was the instructor who reviewed them when they signed up, as for Kong Yinglei, these female students didn't know her.

Kong Yinglei's gaze swept across the audience, and when she looked at Jiang Qing, a smile appeared on her face.

Five apertures opened!

Jing Shui Wuguan picked up a treasure. I don't know where Jiang Jiang Shijie dug it up from.

Originally, she thought Jiang Jiang Shijie went to the prefecture to seek a breakthrough method for entering the Ranked Tier. She didn't expect that after Jiang Jiang Shijie came back, she told her such a big surprise.

A new student with five apertures opened will join the Martial Hall.

Although in this way, the Martial Hall's last Aperture-Opening Pill quota is considered void, but compared with a student with five apertures opened, the resources exchanged for an Aperture-Opening Pill are nothing.

As the Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu, she appeared for Jiang Qing, and she had already asked Jiang Jiang Shijie for permission. This time, she would lead the new batch of aperture-opening students.

"Jiang Qing five apertures, Fu Jingya four apertures, Kong Lingyun four apertures, Gu Qingqing four apertures, Li Xue three apertures……"

Kong Yinglei's gaze swept across the few aperture-opening students in the front row one by one, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, until she swept to the end……

"Lin Chen, how many apertures have you opened now?" Kong Yinglei asked directly.

"Two apertures." Lin Chen also answered calmly.

"Not bad, faster than I imagined."

Hearing the conversation between Kong Yinglei and Lin Chen, Jiang Qing and the others looked at Lin Chen again.

Opening two apertures, obviously the worst, why would the Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong still feel satisfied?

Kong Yinglei also saw the confusion of Jiang Qing and others, but she didn't explain it, because she had witnessed Lin Chen spending half an hour to open his apertures, and she had already confirmed that Lin Chen really only spent twenty taels of silver to practice to produce Qi.

Family background is not fake, spending is not fake.

And with Lin Chen's family background, being able to open the second aperture by now is already very good.

Fu Jingya and Gu Qingqing and others who opened four apertures produced Qi early, and also came to the Martial Hall early to take the Aperture-Opening Pill. Most of the students who came from the town in the last month are now opening two apertures.

Lin Chen didn't fall behind, which already made her a bit surprised.

Sweeping across Lin Chen's ten people, Kong Yinglei's gaze was withdrawn.

The female disciples in the back row saw that Kong Yinglei's gaze had never fallen on them from beginning to end, and there was a sense of loss on their faces.

Are they so unimportant?

"Martial Way, respect strength, Martial Hall, also the same!"

And at this moment, Kong Yinglei suddenly shouted, her gaze sweeping across the audience, and the sharp eyes made no one on the scene dare to look at her.

"I know that many people feel that the Martial Hall is too contemptuous of you students who produced Qi. What this Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu wants to tell you is, it's not a feeling, this is a fact!"

Lin Chen's mouth opened slightly. He didn't expect that Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong, with such a gentle egg-shaped face, could say such cold words.

Too heartbreaking!

"I am not your father or mother, and the Martial Hall is not your home. If you want to get the Martial Hall's support and resources, you only rely on one thing, and that is strength."

"I give you three months. If you can't open your apertures in three months, you will be like this on the Martial Way. I advise you to give up, leave the Martial Hall early, find someone to marry, and stay at home to teach your husband and children."

Every word of Kong Yinglei, falling into the ears of these students who only produced Qi, was a heavy hammer. Lin Chen had already seen several female students with pale faces.

"You ten, follow me." Kong Yinglei's gaze fell back on Lin Chen's ten people, and she returned to a smile.

The face with distinct changes, Lin Chen sighed in his heart. I'm afraid that among those Qi-refining students, Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong is the big villain in their hearts.

"Xiao Xiao Shimei Shen, these students will be handed over to you."

"Mm, Jiang Jiang Shijie, don't worry."

Hearing the conversation between Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong and this instructor, and looking at those female students with ugly faces, Lin Chen immediately understood.

This is singing a double act!

Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong sings the white face, putting the cruelty of the Martial Hall on the table. In a while, this Yu Yu Jiaoxi Shen will definitely sing the red face, giving these students encouragement and motivation, stimulating the competitive spirit of these students.

As for those students who were really hit by Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong and couldn't recover, it can only be said that Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong was right, they were indeed not suitable to continue on the Martial Way, and going home to teach their husbands and children was more appropriate.
