Chapter 57: Jiang Jiang Shijie has a successor

Lin Chen, who was in the middle of the battle, did not know Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's inner thoughts. At this moment, he was fully exerting the Water Cloud Palm, completely enveloping Jiang Jiang Shijie Li.

If it weren't for Jiang Jiang Shijie Li having opened one more acupoint than him, and receiving several of his palms head-on, if it were someone at the same cultivation realm, they would have already been defeated.

But even so, Jiang Jiang Shijie Li's defeat was only a matter of time!

There is a gap between three acupoints and four, but it is not an unbridgeable chasm!

One palm, two palms, three palms...

At this moment, Jiang Jiang Shijie Li's breathing became rapid. In her eyes, this Lin Lin Shidi's palm technique was like a giant wave, one after another, making her exhausted and unable to catch her breath.

Her rhythm was completely disrupted.

She could only rush to block, but after several palms, her arms had already begun to tremble.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie Li, I concede!"

Hearing the words Lin Lin Shidi had said to Junior Sister Xiao earlier, Li Xue's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously wanted to defend, but it was too late. A palm was stuck to her chest.

Hmph!

Li Xue let out a soft snort, looking at the palm that landed on her chest, her pretty face blushing.

Lin Chen withdrew his hand, also feeling a bit awkward.

He didn't mean to take advantage of Jiang Jiang Shijie Li. Jiang Jiang Shijie Li was much stronger than Jiang Jiang Shijie Xiao, and he couldn't control his strength perfectly.

"In this battle, Lin Chen wins. Qingfeng Wuguan's fifth Grade A treatment quota belongs to Lin Chen."

Kong Yinglei's eyes were shining as she looked at Lin Chen at this moment. She had no intention of managing this competition anymore. In comparison, she wanted to know more about how Lin Chen practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery in such a short time.

She hadn't forgotten that when Lin Chen left the Martial Hall, it was to practice the "Flying Swallow Technique," not the Water Cloud Palm.

Following Kong Yinglei's announcement, Fu Jingya and the others looked at Lin Chen with disbelief.

Three acupoints defeating four!

Today, Lin Lin Shidi taught them a lesson.

Cultivation realm does not represent strength.

Martial arts combat, technique proficiency, and combat skills are also part of strength.

"I hope you can remember these few battles today!"

Kong Yinglei swept her gaze over Fu Jingya and the others, and when it fell on Lin Chen, she smiled: "Lin Chen, come with me."

Seeing Lin Chen follow Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu away, Fu Jingya and the others had envious expressions on their faces. Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu was probably going to give Lin Lin Shidi private guidance.

However, they weren't jealous. Who told them they hadn't practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery yet.

Before Mastery, it could only be relied on oneself.

Kong Yinglei's courtyard.

"Lin Chen, you gave this Kong Kong Guanzhu a surprise!"

Kong Yinglei did not hide her satisfaction with Lin Chen. She had thought Lin Chen would win. After all, Lin Chen's Clear Wind Palm was also at Mastery, but she hadn't thought Lin Chen could win so easily.

Looking at the exchange between Lin Chen and Li Xue, it wasn't just that the Water Cloud Palm was at Mastery. Lin Chen's every palm was very accurate, catching the gap in Li Xue's palm changes, which left Li Xue with no chance to fight back and suppressed throughout.

"Has anyone guided you in martial arts combat skills?"

"No." Lin Chen shook his head and answered truthfully: "Disciple has been to the Wu Yuan."

"Wu Yuan?" Kong Yinglei's beautiful eyes widened: "You went to fight in the arena?"

"Yes, disciple thought that by fighting other martial artists in the arena, I could accumulate some actual combat experience."

Hearing Lin Chen's answer, Kong Yinglei was silent for a long time, then said faintly: "You have the guts. In those arenas in the Wu Yuan, those below twelve acupoints who dare to enter the arena have all practiced their techniques to Small Success, and there is no lack of Great Success."

"Disciple didn't think about winning, but wanted to learn actual combat skills from those opponents. And the Wu Yuan has many disciples from other Martial Halls. By fighting them, I could understand the techniques of other Martial Halls."

Lin Chen scratched his head. He originally wanted to win the arena master and get the ten-tael silver reward, but only after entering the arena did he realize he was too naive.

Of course, he wouldn't say this thought out loud.

"Well, fighting in the arena can indeed accumulate actual combat experience, but you must also pay attention to your own safety. Many martial artists who enter the arena are extremely ruthless, and you will get injured if you are not careful."

"Disciple remembers."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement. He had already felt the ruthlessness of those martial artists in the arena, which was a completely different style from sparring with Martial Hall disciples.

"How long have you practiced the Water Cloud Palm?"

Kong Yinglei asked the question she cared about most, with an expectant look on her face.

"Seventeen days."

"Seventeen days!"

Kong Yinglei's voice suddenly rose, and her breathing began to become rapid: "Is this true?"

"Disciple dare not deceive Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu. Although disciple got the Water Cloud Palm secret manual long ago, the real practice was after becoming an official disciple of the Martial Hall."

"That is to say, only after Chen Chunfeng left did you start practicing the Water Cloud Palm, so you didn't practice the 'Flying Swallow Technique'?"

"Also practiced."

Lin Chen saw Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's eyes widening due to shock and felt a bit embarrassed.

Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu asked one question, and he answered one. Was he showing off a bit?

"Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu, disciple has mastered the first four moves of the Flying Swallow Technique. Originally, disciple was confident in practicing all six moves of the Flying Swallow Technique, but disciple also practiced the Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm at the same time, so I overestimated my comprehension."

"Wh... what do you mean?"

Kong Yinglei vaguely felt that Lin Chen's words seemed to hide some important information. This style of speaking reminded her of her own Jiang Jiang Shijie.

She remembered that many years ago in the Martial Hall, Jiang Jiang Shijie was also like this, lowering her head with an embarrassed look.

And at that time, Jiang Jiang Shijie was at ten acupoints and said to the Kong Kong Guanzhu: "Disciple originally thought I could easily open three acupoints, so I divided my mind to improve the proficiency of the Water Cloud Palm. I didn't expect to overestimate myself, and in the end, I only opened two acupoints. Fortunately, the Water Cloud Palm reached the Small Success stage."

"Although disciple hasn't mastered all six moves of the Flying Swallow Technique, fortunately, the Clear Wind Palm has reached the Small Success stage!"

Lin Chen smiled shyly, and the two figures in Kong Yinglei's mind began to overlap.

Same style, same tone...

After a long while, Kong Yinglei slapped Lin Chen on the shoulder:

"Lin Chen, you should have joined our Jing Shui Martial Hall. Jiang Jiang Shijie has a successor!"

This slap made Lin Chen's body sink by half. The strength of an Organ Cultivation Stage expert, even if restrained, only made him feel a burning pain on his shoulder at this moment.

Lin Chen grinned and smiled bitterly. He probably understood the first half of Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's words: his talent in the Water Cloud Palm was higher than in the Clear Wind Palm, making him more suitable for the Jing Shui Martial Hall.

But he didn't understand the second half. Jiang Jiang Shijie has a successor?

What does that mean?

If he weren't very sure that his mother was just an ordinary village woman, he would have suspected whether Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu had let something slip, and whether his mother was a hidden martial arts expert in the village, or Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's Jiang Jiang Shijie.

"Go, I'll take you to find Jiang Jiang Shijie!"

Kong Yinglei couldn't help but laugh in her heart. What a genius the Clear Wind Martial Hall had missed!
