Chapter 58: Not a genius, just because you are not genius enough

Jing Shui Martial Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu, Ceng Qingyao's courtyard.

Kong Yinglei brought Lin Chen in, saw her Jiang Jiang Shijie standing in the courtyard holding a horizontal blade, and immediately gave Lin Chen a signal to be quiet.

Lin Chen looked at this Kong Kong Guanzhu Zeng, standing in the courtyard with a blade and not moving, and had a look of curiosity in his eyes.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie is sensing the blade spirit. This is Ranked..."

Bang!

Before Kong Yinglei finished speaking, it was at this moment.

Ceng Qingyao slashed out with a horizontal blade, and silver light swept and shot out, submerging into the pool in the courtyard.

Instantly!

The whole pool was like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, water splashing, countless water droplets shooting toward all parts of the courtyard like sharp arrows.

Special effects!

Lin Chen's pupils contracted. He actually saw martial arts special effects.

What is the difference between this and the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms seen in the TV series of his previous life?

So, Ranked martial artists can produce special effects?

Then what about stronger martial artists?

Those Seventh Rank,...

Thinking carefully, Lin Chen felt it was really possible.

The Clear Wind Palm he practiced had wild winds howling between palms, and the Water Cloud Palm had the sound of water waves. This hadn't reached Great Success and Perfection...

The water droplets dissipated, and Ceng Qingyao withdrew the blade.

"Xiao Xiao Shimei, what's the matter?"

Ceng Qingyao looked at Lin Chen following behind her Xiao Xiao Shimei, her eyebrows raised. Based on her understanding of her Xiao Xiao Shimei, bringing Lin Chen here must have a special reason.

Today is the new student internal competition, the day to decide the Grade A quota treatment. Kong Xiao Xiao Shimei is not the kind of person who likes to drag things out, so the internal competition result must have come out.

But even if Lin Chen was given the Grade A quota treatment, there was no need to bring Lin Chen to her. Her Xiao Xiao Shimei could decide many matters of the Martial Hall on her own.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, Lin Chen has practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery!"

"Water Cloud Palm Mastery?" Ceng Qingyao looked at Lin Chen with some surprise. If she remembered correctly, Kong Xiao Xiao Shimei had said last time that Lin Chen's Clear Wind Palm was also at Mastery.

So, double Mastery of two Ranked techniques?

Martial arts comprehension is so high?

"Not bad."

Ceng Qingyao was also very satisfied with Lin Chen, and could even say slightly surprised, but it didn't make her facial expression lose control.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, it only took Lin Chen seventeen days from practicing the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery." Kong Yinglei continued.

"Hmm... very good."

Ceng Qingyao looked at her Xiao Xiao Shimei with a trace of doubt. Has Xiao Xiao Shimei changed her personality today?

Based on her Xiao Xiao Shimei's personality, she should have said Lin Chen's situation in one breath, but why did she say it sentence by sentence today?

Practicing the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery in seventeen days should also be due to the experience of practicing the Clear Wind Palm.

The Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm have similar styles and can be borrowed before Great Success.

"Besides practicing the Water Cloud Palm, Lin Chen also practiced the 'Flying Swallow Technique' and has already learned the first five moves of the 'Flying Swallow Technique'."

Ceng Qingyao's beautiful eyes contracted, and a look of shock appeared on her pretty face, but she quickly restrained it.

"Cough cough... not bad. This kind of martial arts comprehension can be ranked in the top ten among Martial Hall disciples in Poyang County in the last ten years."

Listening to the Kong Kong Guanzhu's praise for him, Lin Chen's expression was a bit strange. He wasn't surprised by Kong Kong Guanzhu Zeng's praise for him, but rather surprised by Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's way of speaking...

"Alas, it's a pity that Lin Chen should focus on practicing the 'Flying Swallow Technique'. This kid actually said that he also divided his mind to practice the Clear Wind Palm."

Kong Yinglei spoke again, shaking her head with a regretful expression.

"Xiao Xiao Shimei, you are too greedy. Although the 'Flying Swallow Technique' is an ordinary technique, its difficulty is only second to Ranked techniques. Being able to learn five moves in such a short time and practicing the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery is already extremely good. Even if Lin Chen also practiced the Clear Wind Palm, how much time could he have spared?"

Ceng Qingyao smiled slightly and looked at Lin Chen: "Am I right?"

Facing the Kong Kong Guanzhu's confident smile, Lin Chen's scalp felt a bit numb. By now, if he still couldn't see what Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu wanted to do, he would have lived his previous life in vain.

Big shots fighting, he, a small character, should not be affected.

So, he chose to respond with a silent silly smile.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie is right!"

Kong Yinglei immediately took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Xiao Xiao Shimei also feels that since Lin Chen has entered our Jing Shui Martial Hall and practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery, there is no need to waste time practicing the Clear Wind Palm. Practicing one technique to Small Success is the most important thing."

"Hmm, that makes sense." Ceng Qingyao nodded slightly and said to Lin Chen with a serious face: "Lin Chen, you can practice both the Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm to Mastery, which is enough to prove that your comprehension in martial arts is extremely high. But the more this is the case, the more you cannot waste this comprehension."

"There have been martial arts comprehension geniuses like you in Poyang County, but none of them practiced two Ranked techniques at the same time. The reason is that practicing two Ranked techniques at the same time is too difficult. It is better to focus on practicing one technique and practice it to Small Success first."

Lin Chen continued to maintain an awkward smile...

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, you said Lin Chen didn't spare much time to practice the Clear Wind Palm and should practice one technique to Small Success first, but Lin Chen's Clear Wind Palm has already reached Small Success."

The truth is out!

Kong Yinglei finally revealed her sharp fangs.

Ceng Qingyao was stunned, her facial expression stiffened, but ginger is still old and spicy.

The next moment, Ceng Qingyao stared at Lin Chen, her whole body emitting a sharp aura: "Lin Chen, is your Clear Wind Palm at Small Success?"

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, Xiao Xiao Shimei I personally verified it. I let Lin Chen perform the Clear Wind Palm in front of me. Can I still misjudge whether it is Small Success or not?"

Kong Yinglei was so happy in her heart. For all these years, every time only Jiang Jiang Shijie spoke to hang her, showing off, today she finally found a chance to get back at her.

Lin Chen saw Kong Kong Guanzhu Zeng's serious face and sharp eyes. He didn't dare to be like Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu and continue to show off at this time, so he answered: "Disciple's Clear Wind Palm is indeed at Small Success."

"Good, it seems that Heaven blesses my Jing Shui Martial Hall."

Getting Lin Chen's affirmative answer, Ceng Qingyao suddenly shouted, looked up at the sky, and looked serious.

First Jiang Qing, then Lin Chen!

Heaven blesses Jing Shui Martial Hall.

Ceng Qingyao's serious look made Kong Yinglei lose the mood to tease her own Jiang Jiang Shijie.

Seeing the teasing look on her Xiao Xiao Shimei's face fade, Ceng Qingyao flashed a trace of cunning in her eyes. Xiao Xiao Shimei is still too young.

"Lin Chen, you practiced the Clear Wind Palm to Small Success and also practiced the Water Cloud Palm to Mastery. You have a chance to satisfy the Martial Administration Office's genius student criteria."

Hearing her Jiang Jiang Shijie's words, Kong Yinglei was also awakened, her expression becoming serious, and she murmured: "Jiang Jiang Shijie, are you talking about the second article of the Martial Administration Office's genius student criteria:"

"Martial arts path, superior comprehension, hearing one and knowing ten, comprehending its true meaning!"

Kong Yinglei didn't think of the Martial Administration Office's genius student criteria earlier, not because she didn't know, but because she didn't think in this direction at all. Since the criteria were promulgated twenty years ago, only one person had obtained it.

Provincial Provincial Graduate Jiang!

Back then, Provincial Provincial Graduate Jiang satisfied the first article of the Martial Administration Office's genius student criteria: Martial arts path, dragon leaping into the clouds, phoenix singing toward the sun, rapid progress.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, do you think Lin Chen has a chance to satisfy the second article of the genius student criteria?"

Kong Yinglei was a bit excited. Ceng Qingyao whispered: "The second article of the genius student criteria is aimed at comprehension. If a student can practice a Ranked technique to Perfection within half a year, or practice two techniques to Great Success, they have a chance to be selected as a genius student."

Lin Chen, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two Hall Masters and also fell into thought.

Listening to the meaning of the two Hall Masters, the Martial Administration Office has judgment clauses for genius students, among which for comprehension, it is to practice a technique to Perfection within half a year, or two techniques to Great Success.

The conditions are indeed harsh enough.

But it's not without a chance. He dare not say Perfection, but according to his current progress of the Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm, he still has a chance to fight for practicing the Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm to Great Success in the remaining three months.

"May I ask Kong Kong Guanzhu, what is the incentive for this genius student?"

"What kind of incentive, the Martial Administration Office does not announce it to the public. But back then, Provincial Provincial Graduate Jiang was selected for the genius student list and soared into the sky."

Ceng Qingyao shook her head. Regarding the treatment of genius students, the Martial Administration Office did not clearly inform, and in the entire Poyang County for twenty years, only Provincial Provincial Graduate Jiang was on that list.

"One thing is certain, once on the genius list, Ranked is just around the corner."

In Ceng Qingyao's view, although Provincial Provincial Graduate Jiang's talent was amazing back then, breaking through more than ten acupoints in a few months, it was impossible to be Ranked in just two years.

The main reason why Provincial Provincial Graduate Jiang was Ranked so quickly was that he was selected for the Martial Administration Office's genius list and received special cultivation from the Martial Administration Office.

"So that's it!"

Lin Chen suddenly realized. He originally felt that a country with a complete martial arts cultivation system had no reason not to have special treatment for geniuses.

It turned out to be because he couldn't touch the standard line of geniuses.

You let an elementary school student understand what the strong foundation plan is, what IMO gold medals are, it's too far away.

"The matter of the Martial Administration Office's genius criteria, you just need to know it now. Compared to this matter, for you right now, the more important thing is the first round of competition of the Eight Great Martial Halls next month."

Ceng Qingyao looked at Lin Chen seriously. If Lin Chen was Clear Wind Palm Mastery, or Water Cloud Palm Mastery, even if both techniques were Mastery, she wouldn't mention next month's internal competition.

By next month, the major Martial Halls would inevitably have students who could practice techniques to Mastery. Those students who hadn't practiced to Mastery were probably not far away.

Lin Chen's advantage in techniques could be said to be gone.

But the Clear Wind Palm reached Small Success, which gave Ceng Qingyao a chance.

"The rules set by Lord Su for the Martial Hall this time are to look at the top fifty. These have little to do with the interests of you students, and more to do with the interests of us instructors in the Martial Hall."

"But for the top ten in the competition, Lord Su will give rewards. Each person will get an Acupoint-Opening Pill. Taking this pill can increase one acupoint, and there is also a reward of one hundred taels of silver."

"For the first place, an additional Acupoint-Opening Pill will be rewarded."

Hiss!

Lin Chen's eyes lit up. This reward was extremely generous.

Don't look at him taking an Acupoint-Nourishing Pill every month now to open an acupoint, but after ten acupoints, the difficulty of opening acupoints will increase, and the expenses will also increase.

"Don't think about the first place. If you can open five acupoints in the remaining month, you might have a chance to fight for the top ten."
