Chapter 56: Jiang Jiang Shijie, I concede!

"Panel!"

【Host: Lin Chen】

【Realm: Open-Acupuncture Stage (3/24)】

【Clear Wind Palm: Small Success (1/10)】

【Water Cloud Palm: Proficient (150/200)】

【Title: Black to the End】

【Fate: 【Water Flows, Channel Forms】: First Stage of the Martial Way, persistent, step-by-step, unstoppable, no bottleneck trouble.】

Looking at the progress of the Water Cloud Palm, Lin Chen was very satisfied.

Because he had practiced the Clear Wind Palm first, and the Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm had similarities in some aspects, Lin Chen found that his comprehension speed in the Water Cloud Palm was extremely fast.

It could be said to be a thousand miles a day, already killing the speed at which he practiced the Clear Wind Palm back then.

By now, his Water Cloud Palm was only 50 progress points away from Mastery.

"There are still three days until the Martial Hall's internal competition. First, practice the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery. It's probably difficult to reach Great Success for the Clear Wind Palm in a short time."

Liver-bursting for three days!

Three days later.

The sky was slightly bright. Lin Chen carried his bundle, and he and his eldest brother arrived at the lakeside.

Today he was returning to the Martial Hall.

If he left during the day, he wouldn't make it in time, so he could only take a boat to the county town in the early morning.

In the bundle on his body were the clothes he had brought back. Lin Mu had washed them again, complaining that he hadn't washed them clean.

Lin Chen was also helpless. He was practicing martial arts in the Martial Hall. Besides the smell of sweat, how dirty could his clothes get?

Perhaps every mother felt that her son's clothes weren't washed clean.

Arriving at the county town, he bid farewell to his eldest brother and rushed to the Jing Shui Martial Hall. After returning to the dormitory and putting down the bundle, he headed straight for the Chu Lu Martial Arts Arena.

Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu had said that the internal competition for new students would be held at the Chu Lu Martial Arts Arena.

When Lin Chen arrived at the arena, he looked at the huge hourglass on the side of the arena. According to the time displayed on it, it was exactly the Chen hour.

On the arena, Jiang Qing and the other nine had already arrived.

Even Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu had already arrived. Lin Chen didn't dare to delay, quickening his pace to enter the queue.

Kong Yinglei had already swept her gaze over Lin Chen and said faintly: "Since everyone has arrived, this new student Martial Hall internal competition begins now."

"Qingfeng Wuguan internal competition is very simple, it's to compete for the top five. Those in the top five can get Grade A student treatment."

Listening to Instructor Kong's words, except for Jiang Qing, the other female students had excited expressions on their faces. Last month they were scolded by Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu for not getting the Grade A quota treatment, so they must get it this month.

"Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu, how do we compete?" Gu Qingqing asked impatiently.

"Choose your own opponents. Those without challengers enter the top five."

Seeing that several senior sisters still had confused expressions, Lin Chen guessed how Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu would arrange their competition.

This method was quite fast, but cruel, especially for the competition for the fifth spot.

"Jiang Qing, how many acupoints have you opened?" Kong Yinglei looked at Jiang Qing.

"Seven!"

Jiang Qing's crisp answer made Lin Chen's mouth twitch. Looking at this Jiang Jiang Shijie, he didn't know what to say either.

Seven?

Beast!

Is this eating Acupoint-Nourishing Pills as meals?

In the time he went home, this Jiang Jiang Shijie had opened another acupoint.

Less than two months in the Martial Hall, and opened two in a row?

"It should be like me. When entering the Martial Hall, I was already very close to opening the next acupoint, so I could open two in a row."

After the shock, Lin Chen also rationally analyzed the situation.

"Does anyone want to challenge Jiang Qing?"

The whole arena was silent. Even Gu Qingqing, who was a bit impatient earlier, remained silent.

Jiang Qing stood tall, a light blue dress fluttering in the wind. She was the only one who didn't wear the Martial Hall training uniform, and she looked at Lin Chen and the others with a faint smile on her face.

An invisible pressure was spreading...

Lin Chen felt he had felt it.

Kong Yinglei also expected this situation and said directly: "Since that's the case, Jiang Qing gets a Grade A student quota. Next is Fu Jingya."

"Disciple has opened five acupoints."

In fact, Fu Jingya and the others knew each other's cultivation realms very well. After all, they were all posted on the Martial Hall's glory list. Only Lin Chen had left the Martial Hall for more than ten days, so he didn't notice the changes in these senior sisters' cultivation realms.

"Does anyone want to challenge Fu Jingya?"

The scene remained silent. Gu Qingqing and Kong Lingyun, who had also opened five acupoints, didn't stand out either.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen was as clear as a mirror in his heart. It seemed that everyone thought the same as him. No one would fight for the first four spots.

"Gu Qingqing..."

"Kong Lingyun..."

Four in a row had no challengers. Kong Yinglei was not surprised. Next, her gaze fell on Li Xue: "Li Fang, how many acupoints opened?"

"Four acupoints."

"Does anyone want to challenge Li Xue!"

As Kong Yinglei said this, several female disciples at the scene were eager to move.

"Disciple wants to challenge Jiang Jiang Shijie Li."

"Disciple is willing to spar with Jiang Jiang Shijie Li."

Fang Qianliu and Xiao Ting, who were also at four acupoints, stood out.

Kong Yinglei's gaze swept over the remaining Lin Chen and the other two female disciples. Those two female disciples, like Lin Chen, were at the three-acupoint stage.

"Disciple gives up."

"Disciple also gives up."

Both female disciples chose to give up. Three acupoints against four, they had no chance of winning.

"Disciple wants to challenge."

As soon as Lin Chen's words came out, everyone at the scene looked at him, with confusion in their eyes.

Except for Kong Yinglei, everyone felt that this Lin Lin Shidi should also give up. After all, when Lin Lin Shidi left the Martial Hall more than ten days ago, he was only at two acupoints. Even if he was at three acupoints now, there was still a gap with four acupoints.

When he first entered the Martial Hall, Lin Lin Shidi won against old students because his technique proficiency was higher. But after more than a month, Li Xue and the others had also practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Proficient.

The technique advantage was gone, and they didn't understand why Lin Lin Shidi still dared to come out and challenge.

"Good, since there are three people challenging Li Xue, then divide into two groups. Li Xue, you fight Fang Qianliu, and Lin Chen, you fight Xiao Ting. The winner will compete for the last Grade A treatment quota."

Kong Yinglei was the only one who knew Lin Chen's background. Clear Wind Palm Mastery, plus the three-acupoint stage, he had the strength to fight against Li Xue and the others.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie Xiao, please!"

The arena was large enough. Lin Chen and Xiao Ting occupied the left side, while Li Xue and Fang Qianliu occupied the right side.

Two duels started at the same time.

"Lin Lin Shidi, I won't show mercy."

Xiao Ting smiled slightly, then stepped out, slapping a palm toward Lin Chen.

Looking at Jiang Jiang Shijie Xiao's palm, Lin Chen frowned. It wasn't that he felt Jiang Jiang Shijie Xiao's palm was hard to receive, but rather that he felt Jiang Jiang Shijie Xiao's palm was wrong.

Too formulaic!

Although he hadn't fought many times on the Martial Garden arena, on the arena, the martial artists he faced all had extremely sharp and ruthless moves. In contrast, Jiang Jiang Shijie Xiao's moves were more like a performance.

Facing Xiao Ting's palm, Lin Chen shifted his footsteps, nimbly dodging to the side, while his right palm slapped out like lightning. This palm landed exactly in the gap of Xiao Ting's palm change.

Xiao Ting clearly didn't expect Lin Chen's attack to be so swift and precise. She wanted to dodge, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Lin Chen's palm landed precisely on her waist.

Once the palm hit, seeing Xiao Ting stagger back, Lin Chen followed like a shadow, not giving Xiao Ting any chance to catch her breath. He slapped out several palms of the Water Cloud Palm, and Xiao Ting could only step back and block step by step.

Unfortunately!

Her blocking was still full of loopholes in Lin Chen's eyes.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie Xiao, I concede!"

As the words fell, Lin Chen's palm was only an inch away from Xiao Ting's chest.

This scene made Fu Jingya and the others watching look silly!

Can it still be operated like this?

How confident must one be to say the words before the palm lands?

Jiang Qing's beautiful eyes were also lingering on Lin Chen at this moment, and her clear eyes revealed a trace of curiosity.

Kong Yinglei raised her eyebrows slightly. What surprised her was that Lin Chen was actually using the Water Cloud Palm, and looking at the precision and fluency of this palm, it was at least at the Proficient stage.

Clear Wind Palm Mastery, Water Cloud Palm Proficient?

In just two short months, there were very few students in the entire Poyang County Martial Hall who could do this!

So Lin Chen's talent in the Water Cloud Palm was even higher than in the Clear Wind Palm?

"I... I lost."

Xiao Ting looked at the palm less than an inch from her chest, her face turning pale. She never thought she would lose to Lin Lin Shidi, and lose so quickly.

"Lin Chen wins!"

Kong Yinglei withdrew her thoughts and announced the result.

She could naturally see the reason why Lin Chen could defeat Xiao Ting. Although Xiao Ting was at four acupoints and had practiced the Water Cloud Palm to the Proficient stage, her actual combat experience was insufficient.

This was actually the weakness of Jing Shui Martial Hall disciples compared to other Martial Hall disciples. The female disciples of the Martial Hall pursued the cultivation realm more, and their actual combat experience was extremely insufficient.

Not long after Lin Chen won, Li Xue also defeated Fang Qianliu on the other side.

"The final battle, Li Xue versus Lin Chen. The winner gets the Grade A treatment quota!"

Li Xue looked at the victorious Lin Chen and smiled: "Lin Lin Shidi really surprised me, but I must win this battle."

"Please enlighten me, Jiang Jiang Shijie."

At this point, Lin Chen didn't say things like "lucky" modestly. Saying that would be hypocritical.

The two stood opposite each other, the atmosphere tense, the battle ready to break out.

"Lin Lin Shidi, watch the move!"

Finally, Li Xue made the first move, or more accurately, the moment Li Xue made the move, Lin Chen also moved.

His figure erupted instantly. Lin Chen actually took the initiative after the enemy, waving the Water Cloud Palm, carrying the sound of water waves.

"Lin Lin Shidi's Water Cloud Palm has reached Mastery?"

"Isn't Lin Lin Shidi mainly practicing the Clear Wind Palm?"

Fu Jingya and the others, seeing the sound of water waves between Lin Chen's waving palms, all had incredible expressions on their pretty faces.

But, even more incredible was Kong Yinglei.

At this moment, Kong Yinglei's mouth was slightly open, and even her delicate body was trembling slightly.

"Senior... Jiang Jiang Shijie, our Martial Hall seems to have picked up an incredible treasure disciple this time."

Jiang Qing was closest to Kong Yinglei and captured the change in Kong Yinglei's demeanor. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

Lin Lin Shidi practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery, shouldn't Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu be this shocked?

When she practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery six days ago, Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu just nodded with satisfaction.

Could it be that this Lin Lin Shidi still has other secrets hidden on him?
