Chapter 84: Dual Techniques at Minor Accomplishment, Why Is He So Capable?
Lin Chen defeated Peng Bo.
But the atmosphere at the scene was very strange. Not many people looked at the field; most students' gazes were shifting back and forth between the Qing Feng Martial Hall and the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan areas.
Eating melons is a common hobby of human beings, and martial artists are no exception.
Lin Chen's Minor Accomplishment Qing Feng Palm certainly surprised them, but at this moment, they wanted to know more about why the Qing Feng Martial Hall would let Lin Chen join the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan.
Chen Chunfeng's expression didn't change. The martial hall misjudged; it was indeed the martial hall's problem.
What he is more concerned about now is whether he can let Lin Chen return to the Qing Feng Martial Hall after this competition ends. Since Lin Chen can cultivate the Qing Feng Palm to Minor Accomplishment in such a short time, after returning to the martial hall, he will cultivate him carefully, and the Qing Feng Palm will definitely reach Great Accomplishment within a year.
And this time, Lin Lin Shixiong Qi shouldn't oppose Lin Chen getting the Grade A treatment again.
However, don't rush this matter; wait until the competition ends, and he will discuss it with the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan.
On the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan side, Kong Yinglei raised her lips. Lin Chen displaying the Qing Feng Palm to defeat Peng Bo made her watch very happily.
Especially seeing Qihe's dark face, she felt even more happy in her heart.
At the beginning, their Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan cultivated Lin Chen for the Qing Feng Martial Hall, which can be said to have no selfishness. Unexpectedly, the Qing Feng Martial Hall didn't appreciate it, and now I'm afraid their hearts are full of regret.
However, based on her understanding of Qihe, Qihe's reason for regret is more because he feels he has lost face and will be laughed at by other martial halls.
Just wait.
It's still early. The moment Lin Chen displays the Great Accomplishment Qing Feng Palm, she really wants to see what kind of expression Qihe will have then.
Unfortunately, the competition hasn't ended yet, and Lin Chen still has to hide his clumsiness, otherwise she would want Lin Chen to display the Qing Feng Palm with all his might right now. She is already a bit impatient to see Qihe's face.
As for Chen Chunfeng, when seeing Chen Chunfeng smile slightly at her, Kong Yinglei was a bit stunned. She didn't understand what this smile of Chen Chunfeng meant?
The girls of the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan, Fu Jingya and others, were not particularly surprised, but they were cheering for Lin Lin Shidi in their hearts, because they had long known that Lin Lin Shidi had cultivated the Qing Feng Palm to Proficient.
The last match of Group C.
Lin Chen vs. Zhou Yu.
"I've heard of you."
Zhou Yu stood opposite Lin Chen and said slowly. Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, waiting for the other party's follow-up.
"Zhao Lin Shidi mentioned you to me. When he was learning martial arts in the Martial Hall, the one he admired most was you. Zhao Lin Shidi's evaluation of you is very high. I thought Zhao Lin Shidi was exaggerating. Now it seems Zhao Lin Shidi didn't exaggerate."
Lin Chen smiled. He knew that the Zhao Lin Shidi in Zhou Yu's mouth was Zhao Lin Shidi Jingchuan, who was also from the Cloud Hidden Martial Hall. With Zhao Lin Shidi's personality, his relationship with other fellow disciples in the martial hall would naturally not be bad.
Lin Chen didn't feel that Zhao Lin Shidi mentioning him in front of Zhou Yu was a betrayal of leaking his true strength. With Zhao Lin Shidi's character, at most he just said he admired him very much and wouldn't reveal his true strength.
The fact is also true. When Lin Chen's name appeared in the first place of Group C, Zhao Jingchuan had whispered to persuade Zhou Yu, letting Zhou Yu choose other groups later.
However, Zhou Yu was confident in himself and didn't listen to the persuasion.
"Your family background is not as good as Zhao Lin Shidi's, but you can walk to this point. I can understand why Zhao Lin Shidi admires you. If I were Zhao Lin Shidi, it would be the same."
In Zhou Yu's view, Zhao Lin Shidi admires Lin Chen because Lin Chen walked out of the village but could walk to this step, which has already surpassed most of the students in the city.
Unfortunately, it can only stop here.
"Storytellers like to tell the story of the rise of children from humble families, but stories are stories after all. Lin Lin Shidi, sorry, your story should end here."
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lin Chen blinked a few times, not knowing how to respond.
The other party was not overbearing, and even his tone carried a hint of apology.
"Zhou Lin Shixiong, that's not necessarily true."
The other party's attitude was good, so Lin Chen naturally wouldn't take the initiative to provoke the other party. For the sake of this Zhou Lin Shixiong, he decided to start the competition quickly.
Otherwise, the more this Zhou Lin Shixiong said, the more embarrassing it would be when the result came out.
"Please instruct me!" Lin Chen cupped his hands.
At the same time, the referee also announced the start of the competition.
Almost the moment the referee announced the start of the competition, Zhou Yu tapped his feet and instantly approached Lin Chen like a ghost. His movement was so fast that only afterimages were left.
Zhou Yu's figure appeared on Lin Chen's left side like a ghost, with a look of pride in his eyes. At the same time, his five fingers were bent like hooks, carrying a sharp wind, attacking Lin Chen's arm, his movements ruthless and precise.
This Lin Lin Shidi definitely wouldn't think that he would take the initiative to attack after saying such a thing. Caught off guard, he would definitely be hit.
The words he said earlier were sincere, but that didn't mean he would underestimate Lin Chen.
Qing Feng Palm at Minor Accomplishment, he would only be an idiot if he really underestimated him.
Martial artists fight, false and true, to make the opponent unable to guess.
This is what the instructor told him, and it is also the characteristic of their Cloud Hidden Martial Hall's technique.
Cloud Tracking Hand is the ranked technique of the Cloud Hidden Martial Hall, focusing on footwork and grappling. When cultivated to the extreme, one is like a ghost, and the opponent cannot capture where they will launch an attack from.
The scene was also in an uproar.
Students from other martial halls didn't expect Zhou Yu to take the initiative to attack.
"Despicable!"
"Extremely shameless!"
On the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan side, the girls like Fu Jingya had dissatisfaction on their faces. This Zhou Yu was too despicable.
Lin Chen's expression was calm and composed. Although he didn't expect Zhou Yu to play this hand, Zhou Yu's movements were not fast in his eyes.
To be precise, it wasn't that his eyes perceived Zhou Yu's moves, but his brain automatically judged Zhou Yu's next footing and moves.
He had fought Zhao Jingchuan and was familiar with the Cloud Tracking Hand.
When Zhou Yu's figure appeared on his left side, he guessed which move Zhou Yu was going to execute.
This kind of pre-judgment of the opponent's moves in a competition could not be done before the Qing Feng Palm reached Perfection.
This is the change brought about by the Qing Feng Palm reaching Perfection.
Qing Feng Palm at Perfection, not only understood the true meaning of the Qing Feng Palm, but also gave him a more subtle perception of the Martial Way.
Just as Zhou Yu's hands were about to touch his arm, Lin Chen leaned to the side, skillfully avoiding this fierce claw, and at the same time, struck with a palm, a move of "Cloud Rising and Dragon Soaring," falling directly on the other party's chest.
This time, Lin Chen displayed the Water Cloud Palm.
Zhou Yu felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect Lin Chen to be able to react quickly at such a close distance, not only dodging his fierce offensive but also counterattacking him.
A flash of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. Zhou Yu's footwork changed instantly, and his figure was like a flying cloud, constantly changing positions, but always surrounding Lin Chen. Every time his figure moved, it would be accompanied by a grappling hand striking toward Lin Chen.
Even if his realm was higher than Lin Chen's, Zhou Yu didn't intend to face Lin Chen head-on. Attacking the other party's weakness with one's own strength is the smart choice in a competition.
The advantage of the Cloud Tracking Hand is flexibility, flexible figure, flexible moves, making the opponent tired of defending, until the end reveals a flaw, and defeating the enemy with one blow.
However, every time Zhou Yu felt he had found a suitable opportunity to attack, he would be accurately resolved by Lin Chen.
After dozens of breaths, Zhou Yu gradually became impatient. He tried various ways, but every time he just attacked, he was forced to retreat by Lin Chen's palm.
Lin Chen looked at Zhou Yu, whose figure and moves had slowed down, and knew that Zhou Yu was already exhausted.
In fact, he could have solved Zhou Yu faster. The reason he dragged it to now was just to use Zhou Yu to verify whether his pre-judgment of the opponent's moves was accurate during the fight.
Now that the verification was almost done, this competition should also end.
After repelling Zhou Yu once again, Lin Chen's aura soared, and the Water Cloud Palm moves in his hands struck out like a mountain and sea, like layers of waves one after another. Zhou Yu only felt that he was surrounded by the sky full of waves and palm shadows, unable to break through the encirclement at all.
Every collision, the power transmitted from the opponent's palm made him somewhat unable to withstand, and he could only retreat constantly, unable to even move his figure to dodge Lin Chen's offensive.
Lin Chen seemed to be able to predict his next move, sealing his retreat one step in advance every time.
Hiss!
The students watching at the scene, looking at the dazzling palm shadows on the field and the sound of water waves carried by Lin Chen's palm, were silent.
Originally thought Lin Chen was only at Minor Accomplishment Qing Feng Palm, didn't expect Lin Chen's Water Cloud Palm to also be at Minor Accomplishment.
Two ranked techniques both at Minor Accomplishment, is this still a human?
Among the students at the scene, those who could cultivate a technique to Mastery were already a minority, and as for Minor Accomplishment, they were even rarer.
Meng Yuan of the Mantis Martial Hall also had his mouth slightly open. In this competition, he thought that by relying on the Minor Accomplishment Mantis Fist, he would definitely be discussed by students of major martial halls, and his debut would be today.
But in less than an hour, no one cared about him anymore.
Everyone's eyes were on Lin Chen. No one would remember that there was a Meng Yuan, and the Mantis Fist was also at Minor Accomplishment.
Ten breaths later.
Everyone only heard a crisp cracking sound, Zhou Yu's right hand hung down, and at the same time, his left shoulder was hit by another palm, staggering back dozens of steps.
Feeling that his right hand could no longer be raised, and the tearing pain from his left shoulder, Zhou Yu's face was dim: "I lost."
Zhou Yu knew very clearly that Lin Chen showed mercy, and the palm that hit his left shoulder clearly held back its strength.
He was not the kind of person who didn't know how to advance or retreat, and even if he didn't concede, his right hand couldn't be raised, and he had no power to fight again.
"I concede."
Lin Chen cupped his hands, his expression the same as before, without much change.
Since he started frantically improving his realm in the last month, his goal was the top ten or even higher. Defeating a non-seed player like Zhou Yu didn't make his emotions fluctuate too much.
As the referee announced the name of the winner of Group C, the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan side erupted in cheers, and Lin Chen also walked toward his own martial hall area with a smile.
"Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong, the disciple did not disgrace the mission."
Kong Yinglei kept a straight face and just said "Hmm." Senior Sister said that as the vice hall master of the martial hall, she must be reserved.
"Haha, Lin Chen, you gave me, your instructor, a big surprise."
Shen Lin didn't hide her excitement. Lin Chen winning from the group meant that his worst ranking was sixteenth. If he defeated another opponent in the next match, it was very likely to enter the top ten.
As long as he wasn't unlucky enough to encounter the eight seed players like Jiang Qing, but fought against the winners of other groups, it was not impossible to have this opportunity.
On the Wuchang Pavilion.
Su Lingchuan had a look of contemplation. After a long while, he said: "Since Lin Lin Shixiong He has the heart to reward the students of this martial hall, why not hold the martial arts competition tomorrow at the city gate."
This student Lin Chen of the Still Jing Jing Shui Wuguan gave him some surprises, and also gave him some thoughts.
He Ruyun pondered for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I will let the government office build a ring and send letters to the whole county. Tomorrow, the martial hall competition at the city gate, all the people of our county can come to watch."
