Chapter 62: Wu Yuan's attention
Lin Chen and Fu Ang's battle attracted the eyes of many martial artists at the scene.
The battle of four acupoints is nothing here.
But if you defeat a disciple of the Zhen Yue Martial Hall in the same cultivation realm, and it is a disciple who has practiced the Iron Bone Technique to the Proficient level, that is enough to attract attention.
"When did the Clear Qing Qing Feng Wuguan produce such a powerful disciple?"
"Looking at his palm technique, it is likely that the Clear Wind Palm has reached Small Success. He shouldn't be a student of the new batch, right?"
"Hmm, the possibility of an old student is very high. If it's an old student, then it's hard to guess. The Clear Qing Qing Feng Wuguan has many such disciples who have opened four acupoints in the previous batch or the batch before that."
Under the stage, many people began to guess Lin Chen's identity, but like at the beginning, these watching martial artists didn't think Lin Chen would be a student of the new batch.
In another corner, two figures were also discussing in low voices at this moment.
"Lin Lin Shixiong Lu, do you think this one on the stage is which Lin Lin Shixiong of our Martial Hall?"
"He should be a Lin Lin Shixiong from the previous batch. There are currently three of us in this batch who have opened four acupoints. The other two Junior Brothers' Clear Wind Palm hasn't even reached Proficient, obviously not matching."
Lu Shuyu shook his head. He didn't think this Lin Lin Shixiong on the arena would be from the same batch as himself.
The four Senior Brothers who were stronger than him had already opened five and six acupoints, the cultivation realm obviously didn't match, and the proficiency of the Clear Wind Palm of the two Junior Brothers whose cultivation realm matched didn't match either.
Under the third arena, there were also several martial artists wearing masks, all of whom noticed the situation on Lin Chen's side at this moment.
"This person's Clear Wind Palm should be not far from Small Success, unfortunately... he is an old student."
"Lin Lin Shixiong Qi, does this mean you hope he is a new student of our batch?"
"Clear Wind Palm Small Success, only such an opponent is interesting. Otherwise, the competition at the beginning of next month would be too boring."
"Lin Lin Shixiong Qi, could it be that you are about to break through seven acupoints?"
The man beside him heard his Lin Lin Shixiong's words, and there was shock in his eyes.
Qingfeng Wuguan competition at the beginning of next month, everyone saved their energy and wanted to have a good result, but Lin Lin Shixiong Qi said "boring". There is only one possibility, Lin Lin Shixiong Qi should be about to break through seven acupoints.
The competition at the beginning of the month, the instructor also inferred that there would be a few students who might reach seven acupoints. Seven acupoints means steadily entering the top ten, and until now, among the Eight Great Martial Halls, only one has stepped into seven acupoints.
Jiang Qing of Jing Shui Martial Hall!
Qi Shan smiled slightly and didn't answer.
If it weren't for the sake of letting the Wu Yuan arena fight with other martial artists, he could have entered seven acupoints long ago.
Suppressing without eating much rare poultry meat, just to spar with those martial artists with extremely high technique proficiency on the third arena when he was at six acupoints, to improve his strength.
After defeating Fu Ang, several more martial artists wearing masks came to the stage. Unfortunately, none of these students had enough technique proficiency, and the strongest one only reached Proficient.
Lin Chen was a bit disappointed. The opponents he looked forward to were not these Martial Hall students, but martial artists who had already left the Martial Hall and had extremely high technique proficiency.
Perhaps, only at the end of the month will he be able to meet these people.
He didn't continue to go to the arena, and Lin Chen's attention turned to the third arena. This arena was for martial artists with five and six acupoints.
At this moment, there were also two men wearing masks fighting on the arena, one from the Iron Tie Tie Xue Wuguan and one from the Mantis Martial Hall, both of whom were six-acupoint martial artists.
However, the battle started quickly and ended quickly.
The man from the Mantis Martial Hall didn't even take three moves before losing.
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. It wasn't that the man from the Mantis Martial Hall was too weak, but that the one from the Iron Tie Tie Xue Wuguan was very strong.
The opponent's punch was like a cannon, the fierceness of the fist, Lin Chen estimated that even if the Zhen Yue Martial Hall's went up, they might not necessarily be able to resist it head-on.
"This person's identity is already clear. Fei Hong of the Iron Tie Tie Xue Wuguan, the young master of the Fei Family Manor, currently the only one in the Iron Tie Tie Xue Wuguan who has opened six acupoints and practiced the Iron Collapse Fist to Proficient."
"Practicing Iron Collapse Fist to Proficient, the expenses are probably no less than five hundred taels."
"People are the young master of the Fei Family Manor. His father was also a Ninth Rank martial artist back then, but now his Qi and blood have declined, and Fei Hong's brother was also the first in the Martial Hall competition at the end of the previous year."
"We have worked hard for more than ten years on the path of martial arts, which is just the starting point for others."
"Brother, think about it. What is our family background, what is their family background? Why should you want to surpass the past in one generation with the efforts of three generations of the Fei family? Is your father a Ranked martial artist? Does your grandfather operate the largest meat stall in our county?"
Three consecutive questions, collective silence!
The watching martial artists were jealous, sighed in low voices, and also rationally analyzed.
Hearing the words of the last rational martial artist, Lin Chen was very agreeable. Why should one generation want to surpass the efforts of three generations?
Normally, martial artists like him who came out of the village, reaching the Open-Acupuncture stage is already changing their destiny, earning money to cultivate the next generation, letting the next generation have a chance to impact the Organ Cultivation Stage, and then cultivating the next next generation.
Three generations to develop, is already considered not bad.
A genius who rises in one generation is ultimately a minority.
Fei Hong stood on the third arena, and no Martial Hall student was willing to go up. Proficient level Iron Collapse Fist, no one could resist it.
Lin Chen wanted to try, but unfortunately he only opened four acupoints and was not qualified to go to this arena.
"Does Lin Lin Shixiong Qi want to go up?"
"Among the new batch of Martial Hall disciples, Fei Hong is invincible at six acupoints. Even if I go up, I am not his opponent. However, Fei Hong has broken through six acupoints for less than seven days, and he may not necessarily reach seven acupoints at the beginning of next month. Relying on the gap in the cultivation realm, it is possible to suppress him."
Qi Shan shook his head slightly. His Lin Lin Shidi really didn't have any vision. Fei Hong was clearly invincible at six acupoints. Was he going up to take humiliation?
Seeing no one going up to the stage, Fei Hong directly took off his mask and shook his head with disappointment. The meaning was very clear: the martial artists under the stage were too disappointing to him.
It wasn't that there were no martial artists under the stage who could defeat Fei Hong. Those martial artists who had practiced for several years or even longer, six-acupoint martial artists whose techniques had reached Great Success, had the confidence to defeat Fei Hong.
It's just that there was no need for this. Fei Hong's backer, the Fei Family Manor, still made them wary.
Seeing Fei Hong step off the arena, Lin Chen also knew that there would probably be no exciting fights to watch, so he prepared to leave.
"Little brother, wait."
Just as Lin Chen turned to leave, he found that the referee had arrived at his side at some point.
Lin Chen stopped, not understanding what this referee had to do with him.
"Little brother participates in the arena, what is the purpose?" The referee asked with a smile.
"Senior, I don't understand this?"
"Those who participate in the arena, it's nothing more than three purposes. The first is to fight with others to improve actual combat ability. The second is for the arena reward. The third is to enjoy the satisfaction of defeating others. But I don't think little brother is the third type."
Enjoy the satisfaction of defeating others?
Lin Chen looked at the referee, understanding that the referee was being polite. The so-called enjoying victory is just bullying the weak.
Those who graduated from the Martial Hall, or martial artists who have never entered the Martial Hall, will go to the first and second arenas to fight. Many of them hold the idea of bullying Martial Hall students.
It's the same psychology as when Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong brought new students to fight old students back then.
Taking advantage of the age advantage in practicing martial arts, bully these martial artists with potential first, otherwise, when the other party grows up, there will be no such opportunity.
Lin Chen answered truthfully: "Junior wants to improve actual combat ability."
"To improve strength, one must have a suitable opponent. I observe little brother's Clear Wind Palm, it should be at Small Success."
"Hmm." Lin Chen nodded without denying.
"Four-acupoint martial artists, and the technique must be Small Success, there are not many in the entire Poyang County, only about thirty." Yan He'an answered with a smile.
Four acupoints, Small Success!
These two limiting conditions screened out many martial artists, and Open-Acupuncture martial artists don't come to the Wu Yuan every day.
Martial artists below ten acupoints are mostly busy earning money, and only come to the Wu Yuan in their spare time.
"What does Senior mean?"
"For little brother's situation, the Wu Yuan has a solution, adding a stake to the arena. If little brother is willing, you can choose to give a stake. The winner can take the stake, and the Wu Yuan will notify martial artists who meet the conditions. If those martial artists are interested, they will come to the arena to fight little brother."
Listening to Yan He'an's explanation, Lin Chen understood a bit. It's just asking him to pay money.
Martial artists in Poyang County have no time to accompany him for actual combat, but if he spends money, these martial artists will be interested.
As long as they defeat him, they can take the stake.
If they lose, there is no loss, just treat it as a sparring session.
"What kind of stake?"
"Four-acupoint martial artist, generally five taels of silver is enough. If little brother is confident in himself, you can also give more stakes to attract more martial artists to come and fight."
Five taels of silver?
Lin Chen's mouth twitched. Isn't this going to kill him?
"The Wu Yuan has a rule that for all martial artists who initiate a stake challenge for the first time, the Wu Yuan can give this money, but the applicant must inform the Wu Yuan about his personal information."
The referee looked at Lin Chen with a smile, and Lin Chen fell into thought.
When he received the identity card from the Wu Yuan back then, the Wu Yuan didn't register any information at all, which is why Lin Lin Shidi Zhao said that the Wu Yuan didn't care about these martial artists.
Associating with the genius criteria mentioned by Kong Kong Guanzhu Zeng, Lin Chen had a guess in his heart. The Wu Yuan and the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo are not that they don't care, but that ordinary martial artists don't enter their eyes at all.
Only true genius martial artists can attract their attention.
The senior who called him out just now shows that he should have attracted the Wu Yuan's attention.
But what kind of organization is the Wu Yuan?
Will exposing all his information to the Wu Yuan bring him risks?
Be defensive!
This possibility, although very small, has to be guarded against.
No one has suffered before, that's because they are not genius enough.
He has fate and titles, and maybe he will reach the standard of others later.
"Little brother, the Wu Yuan will keep the identity of all martial artists confidential. If the martial artist does not agree, even if the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo's director and the county magistrate come in person, don't even think about knowing the true identity of the martial artist."
Lin Chen pondered for a moment, and finally decided to accept it.
He figured it out. If the Wu Yuan really has any thoughts about genius martial artists, can he hide it?
He will show it in the Martial Hall competition. As the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo responsible for martial arts education, they can't
He realized that if the Martial Academy truly had designs on genius martial artists, could he really hide it?
Since he had revealed himself during the martial hall competition, and the Wuzheng Office was responsible for the education of martial artists, they would be eager to use him as a positive example for publicity; the Martial Academy would still find out.
It is right to be wary of others, but one cannot give up eating for fear of choking.
"Many thanks, Senior. This junior is willing to initiate a wager challenge, but I have one request: could this bout be held in the evening?"
