Chapter 87: Although I Understand, I Hold a Grudge (Please Subscribe)

Chen time!

The already noisy crowd suddenly lowered their volume.

Everyone's eyes looked to the left. More than a dozen government runners led the way, and the two men in front wearing ninth-rank official uniforms, surrounded by many dignitaries in Poyang County, came to the area on the left side of the ring.

On the left side of the ring, several grandmaster chairs had been placed long ago.

Su Lingchuan and He Ruyun sat in the middle, and beside them, there were several old men with white hair.

The first row, a total of eight people.

All are ranked martial artists.

It's just that except for Su Lingchuan and He Ruyun, the other six old men have already had their vitality declined.

And for the common people of Poyang County at the scene, these six old men made them fear more.

The County Magistrate and the Director of the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo are indeed superior in status, but both adults are not from Poyang County. On the contrary, the families behind these six old men have intertwined interests in Poyang County and are closely related to the livelihood of many common people.

Daliang law, the County Magistrate and the Director of the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo of a place can only be served by people from other places, the purpose is to prevent the local clan forces from becoming big.

As for saying that there is no foundation, and will be excluded by local forces, unable to do anything, this does not exist in Daliang.

Martial arts world, the County Magistrate and the Director are the highest combat power. No local force dares to have any resistance in front of these two adults.

For these veteran ranked martial artists, coming here to watch the competition is more to give face to the two adults.

Otherwise, how could a competition below ten acupuncture points attract the eyes of these former ranked martial artists.

After these eight people took their seats, the second and third rows were the heads of the government office and the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo, as well as some Organ Cultivation martial artists.

A total of more than forty Organ Cultivation martial artists, if you count the major martial halls, the number of Organ Cultivation martial artists in Poyang County is close to one hundred.

One hundred Organ Cultivation martial artists, it seems a lot, but scattered to the entire Poyang County, it is extremely rare. Poyang County has a population of hundreds of thousands, almost one in a thousand.

In the era of developed transportation in the previous life, the number of people an ordinary person can know in his life is only a few hundred.

In Daliang, the circle of interpersonal relationships is smaller. Many village people haven't said a word to an Organ Cultivation martial artist in three generations.

The big figures are all here. At this moment, the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo specifically arranged a host for the competition, who is a deputy director of the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo, and also a big figure at the level of Organ Cultivation Perfection.

"Today, the three-month competition of the new batch of students of the eight major martial halls, after several rounds of selection, a total of seventeen disciples won, and the final ranking competition is held here."

……

……

The host is introducing the situation above, and at this moment, Lin Chen and the other seventeen disciples are also drawing lots behind the ring to choose their opponents.

Different from the rough selection rules during the group competition, this draw is very particular. When students from various martial halls draw lots, they will remove people from the same martial hall.

The eight seed students draw lots first, which ensures that in the first round, these eight will not meet, so as to avoid strong confrontations and cause those with worse strength to pick up leaks in the end.

After the first round of drawing, the only lucky one who was bye was Fu Jingya.

Lin Chen was also happy for Jiang Jiang Shijie Fu. This round of bye means that Jiang Jiang Shijie Fu is at least eighth.

As for his opponent, Lin Chen glanced at the other party. Fate is really hard to say.

His opponent turned out to be Shao Hong of the Qing Feng Wu Tang.

Is this the bond of fate?

When Shao Hong looked at Lin Chen, he seemed to sense it, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Yesterday, Kong Kong Guanzhu Qi was so angry.

Since Lin Chen's appearance caused controversy in the Qing Feng Wu Tang, let him, the Lin Lin Shixiong among the new batch of students, suppress this controversy.

The Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo personnel responsible for drawing lots smiled and said: "The draw is set, all students go back and wait for the competition to start."

Lin Chen and Jiang Qing, Fu Jingya returned to their martial hall area. Seeing Kong Kong Guanzhu Kong's concerned eyes, Fu Jingya couldn't help laughing: "Kong Kong Guanzhu, I was bye this round."

"Bye?"

Kong Yinglei and Shen Lin, including the disciples of the Still Water Wu Tang beside them, were all shocked.

Seventeen people drew lots, and the only bye spot was actually drawn by their martial hall.

Lin Chen was calm at this moment. Among the seventeen people, they had three people in the Still Water Wu Tang. From the perspective of probability, the possibility of drawing a bye was originally higher than other martial halls.

Kong Yinglei and Shen Lin looked at each other. Looking at it this way, this martial hall definitely has two people who can enter the top ten.

Jiang Qing goes without saying, Fu Jingya is locked in the top eight, if Lin Chen can also enter the top ten……

Top ten students, the martial hall occupies three. In the history of the Still Water Wu Tang, this situation has only appeared three times.

"Lin Chen, who is your opponent?"

"Shao Hong of the Qing Feng Wu Tang."

Hearing that Lin Chen's opponent was Shao Hong, the expressions of the people in the Still Water Wu Tang became strange.

Lin Lin Shidi is fighting with the Qing Feng Wu Tang?

If it weren't for the certainty that there was no dark box operation in the draw, they would have suspected whether the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo did it on purpose.

"Try your best."

Kong Yinglei didn't think Lin Chen had no chance to win. Although there was a gap of two acupuncture points, Lin Chen's Qing Feng Palm was at Great Accomplishment, which was not just an improvement in the power of the Qing Feng Palm.

It was also because Shao Hong was also displaying the Qing Feng Palm. By relying on the advantage of technique proficiency, he could grasp Shao Hong's move trajectory.

Thinking of this, Kong Yinglei had anticipation in her eyes. She was not as mercenary as Qihe, but the better the martial hall students' results, the more resources the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo would give to the martial hall.

Not only she needs it, but other Junior Sisters in the martial hall also need it.

Can fight, why not fight?

……

At the scene, a burst of cheers erupted.

The host's voice was like a bell, and he had already announced the first pair of players to take the stage.

Jiang Qing walked toward the ring calmly.

As the first one among the eight major martial halls to open eight acupuncture points, Jiang Qing was naturally ranked first, and the draw was also the first one she drew.

However, Lin Chen had different thoughts in his heart. The Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo arranged for Jiang Jiang Shijie to take the stage first, besides Jiang Jiang Shijie's realm ranking first, there was probably another reason.

Beauty warms up the field!

Look at the hot eyes of those teenagers at this moment, it is enough to know how high Jiang Jiang Shijie's lethality is.

Jiang Jiang Shijie is not that kind of cold goddess. Her eyes are bright and clear, like a clear spring in the mountains, clear to the bottom. The arc of her red lips slightly raised carries a sweet smile.

A head of black long hair hangs down softly behind her, only lightly tied up with a plain silk ribbon, and a few strands of broken hair hang on both sides of her cheeks, adding a bit of fresh and romantic.

"This girl is very delicate, smiles very sweetly, and looks easy to get close to."

On the Linhu Village side, Lin's mother looked at Jiang Qing walking on the stage and whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense. Those who can take the stage are dignitaries' children, not something our kind of family can comment on." Lin's father glared at his wife.

"I didn't say anything bad, why can't I say it? And just before this girl took the stage, I saw our son talking to her just now. This girl doesn't look like that kind of arrogant person."

Lin Liang, who was on the side, heard his parents' words, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Easy to get close to?

He had seen this person's decisiveness in dealing with Zhou San, I'm afraid it doesn't match the easy to get close to his mother said.

……

……

Jiang Qing stepped onto the ring first, and soon Qian Jun of the Zhen Yue Wu Tang also walked onto the ring.

Facing Jiang Qing, Qian Jun had a smile on his face, but his heart was extremely bitter.

Why did he encounter this one!

He is not unable to lose. If he loses to seed students of other martial halls, it doesn't matter, everyone won't remember him.

But the more people pay attention to Jiang Qing, the more he, as a loser, will be mentioned.

Just like last night, in just one night, the name of Lu Shuyu of the Qing Feng Wu Tang spread throughout the eight major martial halls.

Of course, along with the spread of the grievances between Lu Shuyu and Lin Chen, there was another piece of gossip spreading rapidly.

Kong Kong Guanzhu Qi is blind!

……

……

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, please instruct me."

Qian Jun threw a smile that he thought was very graceful toward Jiang Qing, hoping that Jiang Jiang Shijie could show mercy and not let him lose so ugly.

Winning is impossible!

"Good!"

Jiang Qing agreed. The next moment, her figure left a green afterimage in place. Qian Jun only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then there was severe pain in his chest.

His Iron Bone Art didn't even have time to operate, and he flew out, smashing heavily on the ground.

Defeated in one move.

The moment his body fell to the ground, Qian Jun's whole face turned red. He didn't expect this Jiang Jiang Shijie to be so merciless.

"Encountering a martial artist with higher strength than yourself, you should be vigilant at all times. An unsettled mind is a big taboo."

After throwing down this sentence, Jiang Qing went directly off the ring.

The scene was silent.

The common people watching hadn't reacted yet, and the battle was over?

After a few breaths, thunderous cheers rang out at the scene.

Su Lingchuan and He Ruyun looked at each other. Jiang Qing's identity is very mysterious to most people in Poyang County, but both of them know Jiang Qing's background.

This little princess of the Jiang family is quite straightforward.

You Siqi, who was responsible for maintaining order, saw Jiang Qing defeat her opponent cleanly and neatly, and felt lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he made the right choice that day.

This one is not just having a bright future. Among the new batch of students of the eight major martial halls, she is the first in realm. If there is no accident, she will definitely step into the Organ Cultivation Realm within three years.

Jiang Qing returned to the Still Water Wu Tang side. Kong Yinglei was very satisfied. Shen Lin on the side didn't say anything, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

Under the eyes of everyone, Jiang Qing defeated her opponent in one move, which was certainly beautiful, but in this way, I'm afraid other seed players of the martial halls will follow suit.

For students like Lin Chen who are slightly weaker, this is not good news.

The next two battles also verified Shen Lin's worries.

Fei Hong of the Iron Blood Wu Tang also defeated his opponent within three moves.

Gu Shan of the Zhen Yue Wu Tang let the people watching at the scene see the horror of the Iron Bone Art, like an iron mountain, blocking all the opponent's retreats, forcing the opponent to concede in despair.

Most of the common people at the scene were ordinary people and didn't know much about the Martial Way, but it didn't prevent them from recognizing a reality: there are also gaps between martial artists, and the gap is huge.

Fourth match!

"Shao Hong of the Qing Feng Wu Tang vs. Lin Chen of the Still Water Wu Tang!"

As the host reported the names of both sides, on the Linhu Village side, Lin's father and mother no longer had the previous excitement, and their faces were full of worry.

From the discussion of the people around, they already knew that this martial hall student competition is divided into seed students and promoted students.

In the first three matches, those who were very powerful were all seed students, while their son was promoted.

The couple now just hopes that their son will not be injured. As for the ranking, they no longer expect it.

"It's okay, Lin Chen can walk to this step, it's already very powerful. No matter what the result is next, Lin Chen is the pride of our Linhu Village."

Zhao Canghu also gave the villagers a preventive shot in advance, so as not to have too high expectations and finally be disappointed.

In the crowd, there was also a special queue.

"Yu Yu Jiaoxi, do you think Senior Lin Lin Shidi can win?" A teenager wearing the clothes of a student of the Kaohe Town Wu Tang asked the instructor beside him with an eager face.

Yu Yu Jiaoxi Liu stroked his beard, his eyes deep, and said slowly: "No matter what, Lin Chen can appear on the ring, it is already a miracle. You must know that at this time last year, Lin Chen didn't even reach two hundred pounds of strength in the Wu Tang."

This group of people is the new batch of students of the Kaohe Town Wu Tang, led by two instructors to watch the battle.

Before coming, the two instructors didn't know that Lin Chen was on the list. When they saw Lin Chen's name on the list, their first reaction was disbelief, and then after asking a familiar person in the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo, they knew that Lin Chen on the list was the one who walked out of their Kaohe Town.

At that moment, there was a shocking earthquake in their hearts.

Although Lin Chen took the first place in the Wu Tang, in their hearts, they were afraid that after Lin Chen entered the martial hall, he would also be reduced to an ordinary student of the martial hall.

And those who have the opportunity to stand on the ring, which one is not a popular disciple of their respective martial halls.

Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen looked at the figure walking on the ring. In just a few months, the teenager's temperament had undergone earth-shaking changes, confident and calm.

"Lin Chen's family background is not as good as most of you, and he was at the bottom when he first entered the Wu Tang. But relying on his unremitting efforts, he finally occupied the top of the Wu Tang, and now he is standing on this ring. And being able to appear on the ring must have defeated many students of the same batch."

"These students are placed in the Wu Tang, each one is a top-ranked existence, and there is no lack of real dignitaries' children. The moment Lin Chen stepped on the ring, he had already won."

Yu Yu Jiaoxi Liu and Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen looked at each other. Lin Chen being able to walk here shocked them, but after watching the first three matches, they also knew in their hearts that Lin Chen was very difficult to win this match.

"Senior Lin Lin Shidi, you will definitely win!"

On the ring, Lin Chen heard the shouting from below, turned his head, saw a student wearing the clothes of the Kaohe Town Wu Tang shouting this with a red face, and nodded slightly at the other party.

"Little Chen, we believe in you!"

"Little Chen, win glory for our Linhu Village!"

After someone took the lead, the villagers of Linhu Village also ignored the village chief's previous explanation and started shouting with their necks stretched.

For a time, many people looked toward Linhu Village.

The common people watching near the Linhu Village area asked curiously, and when they knew that Lin Chen on the stage was from Linhu Village, they also immediately followed and shouted.

Most of the people watching at the scene were ordinary people, and they would naturally stand on Lin Chen's side.

On the left area, the dignitaries of Poyang County were confused. What's wrong with that Lin Chen?

Just a competition, is it necessary to cheer like this, grandstanding.

Just when someone was dissatisfied and ready to scold, Su Lingchuan's voice came out: "Lin Chen comes from an ordinary fisherman's family, and he is in contact with ordinary people. For the village and town people, Lin Chen can walk to this step, which is indeed worthy of encouragement."

As soon as Su Lingchuan's words came out, several men behind who were a bit dissatisfied also swallowed the words that reached their throats instantly.

Other students, when taking the stage, why no one cheered, is because their background is not bad, and being able to walk to this step is not a surprise.

Since it is within expectations, naturally there will not be so many people giving encouragement and cheers.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Su's words are very true. No matter what Lin Chen's final ranking is, Lin Chen's appearance today is a great encouragement to the teenagers learning martial arts in villages and towns."

The two most powerful people in the county said so, and the dignitaries behind showed thoughtful looks.

It seems that they should inquire about Lin Chen's origin.

……

……

On the ring.

Shao Hong saw Lin Chen take the stage, and there were many common people cheering and encouraging him below, his face also turned cold, especially Lin Chen's act of turning his head and nodding just now, which made him feel dissatisfied.

Really think that two techniques at Minor Accomplishment can defeat him?

Too whimsical!

"It seems that Lin Lin Shidi is very popular."

Lin Chen didn't care about the mocking tone in Shao Hong's words, cupped his hands, and saluted: "Still Water Wu Tang disciple Lin Chen, please instruct me, Lin Lin Shixiong Shao."

"Instruct? It seems you are going to use the Qing Feng Palm to fight me."

"Hmm."

Shao Hong's eyes condensed. He was just a mockery, didn't expect Lin Chen to really agree.

Below the stage, students from major martial halls were also a bit surprised to hear Lin Chen's words.

This Lin Chen is a bit too arrogant.

Facing Shao Hong, who has a gap of two acupuncture points, he should use the Water Cloud Palm. After all, Shao Hong hasn't cultivated the Water Cloud Palm, so he can be caught off guard when attacking, and the Minor Accomplishment Water Cloud Palm is no less powerful than the Qing Feng Palm.

Using the Qing Feng Palm, isn't that the same as Lu Shuyu yesterday, giving up his own advantages.

You must know that after the battle yesterday, the name Lu Shuyu has become a joke among other martial halls.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie Kong, do you want to remind Lin Chen?"

Shen Lin was a bit worried. She was afraid that Lin Chen would be affected by the cheering and encouragement around him and lose his mind.

"On the ring, outsiders are not allowed to intervene. This is the rule."

Kong Yinglei shook her head. She knew what Shen Xiao Xiao Shimei was worried about, after all, Shen Xiao Xiao Shimei didn't know that Lin Chen's Qing Feng Palm was at Great Accomplishment.

"Lin Lin Shidi is a bit arrogant. It seems that he still has too much resentment toward the Qing Feng Wu Tang." Fu Jingya on the side was also a bit worried. Jiang Qing, who heard this, blinked her beautiful eyes: "Lin Lin Shidi will choose to use the Qing Feng Palm, there must be certainty."

Lin Lin Shidi's Qing Feng Palm is at Great Accomplishment, Jiang Qing is one of the three people in the martial hall who knows.

On the Qing Feng Wu Tang side, Qihe's expression didn't change, and no changes could be seen, but Zhao Ce on the side had joy in his eyes.

Yesterday's matter caused Lin Lin Shixiong Qi's face to be damaged. He had already noticed Lin Lin Shixiong Qi's dissatisfaction with him.

However, now Lin Chen is so arrogant and made the mistake of Lu Shuyu yesterday. After a miserable defeat in a while, the public opinion will immediately reverse.

Regardless of the thoughts of all parties off the stage, on the ring, Lin Chen's figure soared, like a gale, whistling, and struck with lightning speed.

The Qing Feng Wu Tang didn't give the acupuncture pill spot because his family background was not good, which can be understood.

The Qing Feng Wu Tang didn't give the Grade A treatment spot because they felt that his follow-up silver for martial arts cultivation couldn't keep up, which can be understood.

Yes, he can understand the actions of the Qing Feng Wu Tang.

But it doesn't mean that he doesn't have a breath in his heart. Lu Shuyu held a breath and wanted to defeat him, and he also held a breath in his heart.

I can understand, but I also hold a grudge!

Swish!

The moment Lin Chen struck, dozens of Organ Cultivation martial artists at the scene contracted their pupils, with disbelief in their eyes.
