Chapter 350

Jiang Mansion backyard garden.

Lin Chen respectfully saluted his future mother-in-law and then took out the jade pendant.

"This nephew was burned by Li Huo back then, and this jade pendant flowed out energy to protect this nephew's meridians. If it weren't for this jade pendant, I fear this nephew would have long since been burned to ashes by the Li Huo."

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Zhuang Min's beautiful eyes were surprised: "This jade pendant was obtained by me from an old senior who also loved flowers back then. I didn't expect that this jade pendant could save your life. It seems that giving this jade pendant to you was the right thing to do."

Lin Chen had been paying attention to his mother-in-law's expression changes. After he said that the jade pendant saved his life, the surprise on his mother-in-law's face didn't look fake. If his mother-in-law's expression was acted out, then Lin Chen could only say that the Oscars owed his mother-in-law a Best Actress award.

Could it be that he guessed wrong?

"Does Aunt know the origin of that senior?"

"I don't know."

Zhuang Min shook her head slightly: "Aunt, I happened to meet that old senior back then. That senior saw that I loved flowers and gave me this jade pendant. As long as there are rare flowers and plants within three feet of the jade pendant, they will be sensed and recorded by this jade pendant. When this jade pendant senses rare flowers and plants that have not been recorded, it will emit light."

"So that's how it is."

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "It seems that the old senior Aunt met must be an expert."

"I don't know about that. I don't have much interest in martial arts. Qing'er is not like me in this point; she is like her father."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Min had a look of resentment on her face: "The father and daughter are both obsessed with martial arts, and no one appreciates my courtyard full of rare flowers."

Hearing his mother-in-law's slightly complaining words, Lin Chen also smiled faintly. It was not easy for him to answer this.

Who told Jiang Jiang Shijie not to love red makeup but to love martial arts makeup.

"Aunt, this jade pendant is not an ordinary object, this nephew..."

Zhuang Min raised her hand, stopping what Lin Chen was about to say, and smiled: "Since Aunt gave this jade pendant to you and it saved your life, it shows that this jade pendant has a destiny with you. And compared to Aunt staying in the mansion every day, you need it more when walking outside, so you should continue to carry it."

"Thank you, Aunt."

Lin Chen was not pretentious. This jade pendant contained the same Innate wood attribute energy as the mother tree essence in Zhao Guo, and it was indeed useful when encountering some critical moments.

"Madam, Young Master Lin, the kitchen has prepared the meal."

At the backyard garden gate, a servant stepped forward to report. Zhuang Min nodded, lifted the hem of her long skirt, and said: "You go over first; Aunt will go back to the room to change clothes."

"Very well."

Two hours later.

Lin Chen accompanied Jiang Duanchao to send the guests away. After saying goodbye at the door, Jiang Duanchao's expression sank.

"Kid, number one on the Heaven Ranking of the Potential Dragon List, are you very proud?"

"Uh..."

His father-in-law really turned his face and didn't recognize people. When he needed him to satisfy his vanity, he called him "worthy nephew" every other word. Now that he didn't need him, he became a "kid."

"The road of martial arts is still very long. This nephew knows that he can't be considered anything yet."

Hearing Lin Chen's answer, Jiang Duanchao nodded very satisfied: "Not carried away by honor, being able to recognize this point means you, kid, have self-knowledge. With your current strength, no one will treat you as a junior anymore. In future battles, people won't consider your age or how many years you've been cultivating martial arts. Once you encounter an opponent, they will strike to kill you."

The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Jiang Duanchao didn't advise Lin Chen to keep a low profile. His own nature was not a low-profile person either. People who practice martial arts must have an indomitable spirit, but having an indomitable spirit and being cautious do not conflict at all.

"In the eyes of the powerhouses of Han Guo and Zheng Guo, you are a must-kill. If other countries have the opportunity to kill you, they will absolutely not show mercy to you. You are no longer encountering martial artists of the same age, but mid-tier martial artists who have cultivated for several or even a dozen years longer than you."

After speaking, Jiang Duanchao looked at Lin Chen: "Telling you so much, kid, is because I don't want Qing'er to lose her husband early."

Even though Jiang Duanchao felt very jealous and reluctant about his daughter throwing herself into another man's arms, he also admitted that Lin Chen was indeed worthy of Qing'er, and even in the eyes of many people, they might feel that their Jiang family was climbing high.

"Uncle, mid-tier martial artists can't do anything to this nephew."

His father-in-law spoke without hiding anything, and it was also the first time he indicated that he didn't oppose him and Jiang Jiang Shijie. Lin Chen thought about it and told the truth about his current strength.

"Mid-tier martial artists can't do anything to you?"

Jiang Duanchao stared at Lin Chen and looked him over, then laughed: "Don't tell me you think that just because you are number one on the Heaven Ranking and at the peak of the Seventh Rank, you can fight mid-tier martial artists?"

"I..."

"I happen to be at the Fourth Rank. If I can't do anything to you, then not only will I not oppose you and Qing'er's matter, I won't even want your betrothal gifts."

"Uncle, there's no need to be so..."

"Follow me to the martial arts arena."

Jiang Duanchao didn't give Lin Chen a chance to speak. Although he accepted Lin Chen as his son-in-law, this kid had such a big mouth, so he finally caught an opportunity. He would beat him up first to vent his anger. He was letting this kid know the immensity of heaven and earth; his wife wouldn't be angry if she knew.

Looking at his father-in-law's hurried steps as he couldn't wait to walk toward the martial arts arena, how could Lin Chen not know what his father-in-law was thinking?

It's just that he was going to disappoint his father-in-law. Martial arts arena.

"Master, Madam asks you to go over."

"I know. Tell Madam I'll go after I finish guiding Lin Chen in martial arts."

The old woman heard her master's words, and her expression was a bit strange. She was saving face for the master and specifically found an excuse.

Forget it, since the master insists on this, let the master go.

This son-in-law... is also very cunning, just not revealing his strength. Madam is right, these two are destined to clash and don't see eye to eye.

Jiang Duanchao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Chen not far away: "Strike, let me weigh your martial arts strength."

"Then Uncle, please be careful. Offended."

Lin Chen spoke very politely, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise again.

"Be careful? Simply laugh..."

Before the words fell, Jiang Duanchao's pupils contracted sharply, watching the aura of Lin Chen opposite him climb step by step: Seventh Rank, Sixth Rank, Fifth Rank... until the Fourth Rank did it barely stop.

Four... Fourth Rank?

Jiang Duanchao almost suspected that his eyes and perception had problems.

But this was not the end. At this moment, the air around Lin Chen exploded out of thin air, and waves of heat surged from his body, like a furnace.

"You've reached the Fourth Rank?"

Jiang Duanchao's throat rolled, and his fingertips pinched into his palms.

The martial arts will flowing around this kid was clearly three parts more vigorous than his own, and there was vaguely a mysterious implication of the upper three ranks. Thinking back to this kid saying to let him be careful, but the corners of his mouth couldn't hide the upward tilt, he immediately understood that he had fallen for this kid Lin Chen's trap.

"Yes, this nephew broke through to the Fourth Rank not long ago. It was Uncle who didn't give me a chance to speak."

"Good, truly good. No wonder you said mid-tier martial artists couldn't do anything to you."

Jiang Duanchao's back molars creaked. He didn't give him a chance?

I did interrupt your words, but you insisted on saying it. Could I stop you? I only interrupted your words, but I didn't block your mouth.

"Kid, I want to let you know that a martial artist doesn't just rely on the realm, but also on the application of martial arts will and combat techniques."

Lin Chen didn't take this, combat techniques... He had fought tens of thousands of battles on the Martial Way Mountain. In terms of combat experience and frequency, I fear ordinary upper-tier martial artists couldn't fight so many battles in their lifetime.

This was also where the martial artists of the Nine Nations couldn't compare to the martial artists of the Yan Imperial Dynasty. The Yan Imperial Dynasty had the Martial Way Mountain. Martial artists under twenty years old, as long as their strength was sufficient, could have enough combat frequency to improve their combat techniques.

And in the Nine Nations, battles without reservation were very likely to result in someone being seriously injured after one round. If they weren't enemies, no one would spar with such full effort.

Whoosh!

Lin Chen's figure was like lightning, moving first.

The Tianyan Wanxiang Destruction Palm blasted out. Jiang Duanchao only saw a shadow appear above his head, a giant palm descending from the sky, carrying a destructive aura.

"Good kid, you didn't hold back."

Jiang Duanchao muttered in his heart, gave a loud shout, clenched his right fist, and blasted toward the giant palm above his head.

Boom!

Terrifying energy vented toward the surroundings, the bluestone on the ground shattered one after another, rolling up a sky full of dust.

The dust dissipated, the giant palm disappeared, and sweat beads seeped from Jiang Duanchao's temples. The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Chen appeared serious for the first time.

The power of this palm from this kid Lin Chen exceeded his expectations.

His full-effort punch actually suffered a slight loss.

With this strength, no wonder he dared to say that mid-tier martial artists couldn't do anything to him.

"It seems my father-in-law's strength is about the same as Li Yuan's. This fight is stable."

Lin Chen also had a judgment on Jiang Duanchao's strength at this moment. He didn't use his full effort for this palm just now. Immediately, his figure flashed, and he slapped out with both palms, no longer using the Tianyan Wanxiang Destruction Palm, but the Wind and Cloud Palm.

As his palms flipped, the sound of wind and thunder rumbled, and the sky full of palm shadows instantly enveloped Jiang Duanchao.

One palm, two palms, three palms...

Jiang Duanchao was extremely aggrieved at this moment. He found that he was actually suppressed by this kid and could only defend. Several punches couldn't cause any damage to this kid.

How was this kid's physical body tempered? It was actually harder than a Fourth-Rank spiritual weapon!

Fifty breaths later.

The sky full of palm shadows dissipated, and Lin Chen's figure retreated to the edge of the martial arts arena, cupping his hands: "Uncle, this nephew has exhausted his strength, I admit defeat."

No matter what, his father-in-law was an elder. Lin Chen couldn't really hurt his father-in-law; he still had to leave some face for him.

Jiang Duanchao looked at Lin Chen with a complex expression, his hands behind his back again: "Yes, at your age, having such strength is already very good. Since your Aunt is looking for me, I won't keep you in the mansion."

Turning around, Jiang Duanchao nimbly tucked his hands into his sleeves to avoid exposing the redness on the back of his hands.

Aunt is looking for him, and that has something to do with not keeping him in the mansion?
