At that moment, the deputy hall masters and instructors from every martial hall contracted their pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clear Wind Palm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their experience, they recognized instantly that Lin Chen was using Clear Wind Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering Lin Chen had once been a disciple of Clear Wind Martial Hall, these deputy masters and instructors cast sidelong glances toward Clear Wind Martial Hall with amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen had just used Water Cloud Palm, clearly nearing Minor Mastery—yet now, against Peng Bo, he chose Clear Wind Palm, especially after a Clear Wind Palm disciple had just lost to Peng Bo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts, they began to speculate on Lin Chen’s motives for choosing Clear Wind Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Chen’s palm technique matched Lv Shuyu’s exactly, Peng Bo didn’t wonder why Lin Chen knew Clear Wind Palm—he only felt a surge of relief. He had blocked Lv Shuyu’s blows before; he’d block these too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s palm struck Peng Bo’s arm. Peng Bo’s eyes flew wide—this power was unimaginable, sharp as a blade, the pain nothing like what Lv Shuyu had inflicted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this even Clear Wind Palm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt nothing like Lv Shuyu’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t hold it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could grit his teeth against Lv Shuyu, this palm from Lin Chen turned his face pale, his arm dropping uselessly—he could no longer lift it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one palm strike, Lin Chen’s expression remained unchanged. As Peng Bo, still charging forward, reached him, Lin Chen delivered a second palm strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand moved so fast it howled like a gale, slamming into Peng Bo’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force of Lin Chen’s palm struck Peng Bo, sending him staggering backward. Even as he activated Iron Bones Art to guard his chest, he could not resist the power—the shock vibrated every bone in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of this palm left many students gaping, and fixed the deputy masters and instructors’ gazes firmly on Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Minor Mastery of Clear Wind Palm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Chunfeng spoke these words, his eyes gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Lv Shuyu’s face turned ashen—he trained Clear Wind Palm himself, and had reached Proficiency; he knew perfectly well that Proficiency-level Clear Wind Palm could never produce such power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand how a mere fisherman’s son like Lin Chen could not only match his cultivation base, but also surpass him in Clear Wind Palm mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi He’s face showed shock—he never expected Lin Chen to achieve Minor Mastery of Clear Wind Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a thread of regret stirred in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three palms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just three palms, Peng Bo was defeated—just like Tu Le before him—he surrendered voluntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the martial hall crowd, a coarse voice suddenly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, I always thought the guy who beat me was from Clear Wind Martial Hall—turns out he’s from Still Water Martial Hall! What’s Clear Wind Martial Hall playing at? Giving a Minor Mastery Clear Wind Palm disciple to Still Water Martial Hall!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This voice, clearly unrestrained by emotion, belonged to Fu Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fu Ang looked as if he’d stepped in dog shit, his face filled with bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the match, he had specifically investigated Clear Wind Martial Hall’s disciples—even carefully avoided grouping with their three Six Orifices disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet… this man was from Still Water Martial Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt wronged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he spoke, Qi He’s face darkened further, as every student in the arena suddenly realized—and turned their gazes toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though these students’ stares lacked the overt mockery of the deputy masters and instructors, they were thick with confusion and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Qi He still felt his face burn—he could already imagine the storm of gossip this would ignite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A disciple with Minor Mastery of Clear Wind Palm had joined Still Water Martial Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would turn Clear Wind Martial Hall into a laughingstock among the Eight Martial Halls—and he, as deputy hall master, would be endlessly ridiculed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Zhao has betrayed me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi He was furious inside—though Brother Chen had never explicitly stated his preference, his actions clearly favored Lin Chen. If Brother Zhao hadn’t spoken up analyzing the situation, how could he have agreed to grant the Class-A treatment to that waste, Lv Shuyu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Wuchang Pavilion, the Eight Martial Halls’ top disciples all turned their eyes toward Shao Hong at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Shao, could you clarify our confusion—why did your hall reject Lin Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Minor Mastery of Clear Wind Palm—surely that’s not beneath your hall’s notice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their words carried curiosity laced with mockery. Shao Hong’s face darkened. He had heard the story: Lin Chen had left Clear Wind Martial Hall for Still Water Martial Hall due to the Class-A treatment slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t cared—neither Lin Chen nor Lv Shuyu had ever mattered to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, deep down, he had originally favored Lv Shuyu; in his view, Lin Chen’s departure from Clear Wind Martial Hall without Class-A treatment was a betrayal of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he could only stay silent—and silently curse Lv Shuyu, that fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the top floor of Wuchang Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lingchuan and He Ruyun, who had barely paid attention to the arena match, were drawn by the shouts below and turned their gazes downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Minor Mastery of Clear Wind Palm—and yet he’s a Still Water Martial Hall disciple. Interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Ruyun smiled. To him, achieving Minor Mastery of Clear Wind Palm in three months meant nothing—any martial artist who entered the ranks before thirty could do it, often even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What intrigued him was why a disciple with such talent in Clear Wind Palm had ended up in Still Water Martial Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lingchuan frowned. He had long forgotten Lin Chen’s name, but the scene below stirred his memory—Lin Chen’s joining Still Water Martial Hall had some connection to the now-departed Inspector Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opening-orifice elixir slot had been requested by Inspector Shu; he had naturally approved it. But he remembered Lin Chen had belonged to Clear Wind Martial Hall—only temporarily assigned to Still Water Martial Hall. Why was he now fighting for Still Water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clear Wind Martial Hall had no reason to let go of a disciple who achieved Minor Mastery of Clear Wind Palm in three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Su Lingchuan and He Ruyun both knew the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because students on the lower floors had provided the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Lin achieved Proficiency in Clear Wind Palm and reported it to Clear Wind Martial Hall. Instructor Chen was very pleased—but then Hall Master Qi revoked Senior Brother Lin’s Class-A disciple status.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shao Hong remain silent, Jiang Qing spoke for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard from Hall Master Kong why Lin Chen had joined Still Water Martial Hall—and she knew that despite his outward indifference, Lin Chen had been frantically pushing his cultivation base and martial technique mastery, enduring unimaginable hardship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? To prove to Clear Wind Martial Hall that their choice was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Sister Jiang, you mean Lin Chen couldn’t get the Class-A slot in Clear Wind Martial Hall? Are their disciples this strong this year?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clear Wind Martial Hall believed Lv Shuyu was more deserving of the Class-A slot than Senior Brother Lin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing replied softly. At once, the other six people turned their gazes back to Shao Hong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shao Hong felt both ashamed and irritated—why are you all looking at me? That wasn’t my decision. Who knew Lv Shuyu, that fool, would be so useless?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1517,"2026-06-19T20:25:56.550Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ee65841d4f33e54cad82d2ec6c196c23099f52139136f7b24af3eb2397738bf9","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-84","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-82",591,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-cover.jpg"]
