Chapter 95: Children of poor families also have the ambitions of a swan

Zhen Yue Martial Hall main hall.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, you really let Lin Chen cultivate the Iron Bone Technique?"

Hong Qianhai looked at his Lin Lin Shixiong, somewhat puzzled.

Just now, Fu Ang brought Lin Chen into the Martial Hall, and he was already puzzled, unable to figure out what Lin Chen was doing coming to the Zhen Yue Martial Hall.

But when Lin Chen opened his mouth to say he wanted to learn the Iron Bone Technique, and his Lin Lin Shixiong agreed directly, it made his whole brain unable to turn around.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, this move is afraid of violating the rules of the Wuzheng Office."

Tai Rubai raised his eyes to look at his Lin Lin Shidi and asked rhetorically: "Does the Wuzheng Office have a rule that students cannot cultivate two techniques?"

Hong Qianhai was startled. Thinking back carefully, among the many rules issued by the Wuzheng Office to the Martial Halls, it really didn't mention this rule.

"Even if Lin Chen doesn't cultivate the Iron Bone Technique, isn't he already cultivating two techniques, the Clear Wind Palm and the Water Cloud Palm?"

"That... that is a special situation. It was Qihe of the Clear Qing Qing Feng Wuguan who was blind and underestimated Lin Chen, which forced Lin Chen to finally join the Jing Shui Martial Hall. If other students followed suit, wouldn't it be chaotic?"

"Follow suit?"

Tai Rubai sneered: "That also requires them to have the ability to perfect a technique in such a short time. Not to mention such a short time, if they can do it within six months, they can also be like Lin Chen, wanting to learn as many techniques as they want."

Seeing his Lin Lin Shidi's puzzled expression, Tai Rubai explained: "Lin Lin Shidi, you don't know. As early as a hundred years ago, martial artists in the Body Forging Stage cultivated at least two techniques, and some even cultivated three. It wasn't until later that martial artists changed to cultivating only one technique, and the original cultivation path was called the extreme cultivation method."

"Cultivating two and three techniques?"

Hong Qianhai was truly shocked. Specializing in one technique and being able to perfect it within three years was already considered excellent comprehension. He couldn't imagine how long it would take to perfect each technique if one cultivated two or three techniques at the same time.

"It is precisely because this path is difficult to walk that a new cultivation method was created by a strong person a hundred years ago. As for which of the two cultivation methods is stronger, there is no need for me, your Lin Lin Shixiong, to say more."

"Extreme cultivation method..."

Hong Qianhai nodded. From the name, one could judge which was stronger.

"The extreme cultivation method was abandoned precisely because it was too difficult to cultivate, but the comprehension and talent Lin Chen has revealed now give him a chance to walk this path. This matter was allowed by Lord Su."

As early as three days ago, he had received the notification sent by Lord Su. To tell the truth, he was also shocked when he heard it back then, not expecting Lin Chen's ambition to be so great.

It wasn't just ambition, but absolute confidence in himself.

With the martial arts talent Lin Chen had revealed now, he already satisfied the genius regulations of the Wuzheng Department. Walking the path of the Wuzheng Department's cultivation of geniuses, entering the Ranked Tier was absolutely no problem, just a matter of time.

This youth is extraordinary.

He chose the most difficult path.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, how should our Martial Hall treat Lin Chen?"

Having already accepted the matter of Lin Chen cultivating the Iron Bone Technique, Hong Qianhai asked another question he was concerned about.

"In Lin Chen's heart, we definitely can't compare to the Jing Shui Martial Hall, but at least we should also form a good relationship. Just treat him as a formal student."

Tai Rubai stroked his beard and smiled: "The previous lesson of the Clear Qing Qing Feng Wuguan must not be repeated."

Huizhou Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Huang.

Yu Yongnian looked at the envelope in his hand, his expression changing constantly. His mouth was wide open the whole time, and finally, he stood there sluggishly like a clay figure, holding the letter paper.

Seeing this scene of her Lin Lin Shidi, Shu Suwan on the side had a look of doubt on her pretty face. She was curious about what Lin Chen had written in the letter that could make her Lin Lin Shidi have this expression.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, take a look."

After a long while, Yu Yongnian came back to his senses and handed the envelope to his Jiang Jiang Shijie, his expression becoming strange.

"Let me see."

Shu Suwan took the letter paper, her beautiful eyes swept over it, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

【Yu Yu Jiaoxi, as if meeting:】

【Qingfeng Wuguan competition has ended, student luckily took first place in the competition...】

Seeing this line at the beginning, Shu Suwan almost doubted if she had misread it, reading it several times before confirming she hadn't.

She finally understood why her Lin Lin Shidi had such an expression.

First place in the Martial Hall competition!

Overpowering all students of the new generation of the eight major Martial Halls!

If it weren't for the certainty that Lin Chen wouldn't joke in a letter, and if it weren't for seeing the contents of this letter with her own eyes, even if her Lin Lin Shidi had narrated it to her, she would have doubted if her Lin Lin Shidi was looking for fun at her expense.

"Lin Lin Shidi, did you see that Lin Chen had such great potential, which is why you helped Lin Chen back then?"

Shu Suwan raised her eyes to look at her Lin Lin Shidi. Yu Yongnian shook his head: "If I could see that Lin Chen could grow to this step, why would I have written those two letters?"

"Besides, does Jiang Jiang Shijie think Lin Lin Shidi's eye for talent is stronger than Jiang Jiang Shijie's?"

"That's true."

Shu Suwan nodded slightly. She also knew Lin Chen's family background and his situation in the Martial Hall. It could be said that her Lin Lin Shidi helping Lin Chen back then was entirely out of an instructor's sympathy for a student.

"I just felt back then that an ambitious youth should not be let down. A youth who could say words like 'work-study' and dare to put down his dignity in front of his Junior Brothers—as an instructor, I should help."

Yu Yongnian explained again, and Lin Chen hadn't let him down, having achievements on the path of the Martial Way, which was why he continued to help Lin Chen afterward.

"Then that Lord Su saying you are a model instructor—I am truly ashamed. I also don't have no desire for merit. If Lin Chen hadn't achieved anything in martial arts, I'm afraid I wouldn't have continued to pay attention to Lin Chen."

Shu Suwan smiled slightly: "Judging by deeds, not by heart—this is not reality. It is just that if Lin Chen couldn't make a name for himself in martial arts, your attention would be useless. As for that Lord Su comparing you to a model instructor, half of it comes from his own selfish motives."

Seeing her Lin Lin Shidi's puzzled expression, Shu Suwan also analyzed the intention of that Lord Su.

"Then according to Jiang Jiang Shijie's opinion, should I agree? Mainly, what are the pros and cons of this matter for Lin Chen?"

Yu Yongnian asked humbly, but not for himself, more out of consideration for Lin Chen's interests.

"Naturally, I should agree, but this Lord Su wants to use the two of you as political achievements, so he naturally has to give benefits. When replying to the letter, I will write on your behalf regarding this aspect, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Then I will trouble Jiang Jiang Shijie to put her heart into it."

Shu Suwan's eyes were quiet: "Even for the word 'Master's Wife' in Lin Chen's letter, I should put my heart into it."

Yu Yongnian smiled awkwardly, a flush of red appearing on his face.

"I will reply to Lord Su, but the extreme martial arts cultivation method Lin Chen mentioned in the letter—has Lin Lin Shidi thought about stopping him?"

In comparison, Shu Suwan was more concerned about Lin Chen mentioning that he was going to walk the extreme cultivation path in the letter. In her view, this wasn't the best choice.

"What does Jiang Jiang Shijie mean?"

"Since Lin Chen has perfected the Clear Wind Palm, the Wuzheng Department will inevitably cultivate him. Fast in two years, slow in five years, he will inevitably enter the Ranked Tier. With his family background, he should aim for the Ranked Tier, rather than pursuing the extreme of the Martial Way."

Shu Suwan had also heard of the extreme martial arts cultivation method, but looking at the entire Rao Prefecture, there weren't many people who would walk this path.

This path is extremely difficult. If it were those noble children, in order to break through themselves, they could still try, because they had the cost of trial and error.

Yu Yongnian smiled: "I have a different idea from Jiang Jiang Shijie. Since Lin Chen can perfect the Clear Wind Palm in such a short time, creating a miracle, perhaps he can create a second miracle."

"If miracles were so easy to create, they wouldn't be called miracles. With Lin Chen's family background, seeking to enter the Ranked Tier within five years, and then having the opportunity to sprint to the Seventh Rank if possible—the Lin family can also be considered a prominent family in Rao Prefecture. This is a truly steady path. Wanting to soar into the sky... often leads to falling into the abyss."

The two were at odds, exchanging words.

"This path is extremely difficult to walk."

"Children of poor families can also have the ambitions of a swan."

Yu Yongnian's expression was firm, his gaze filled with unquestionable light. He raised his chin slightly, looking directly into Shu Suwan's eyes, and said word by word: "Although Lin Chen didn't mention the bitterness of his cultivation in the Martial Hall in the letter, being looked down upon by the Clear Qing Qing Feng Wuguan and taking first place all the way—was the difficulty of that not difficult?"

Shu Suwan frowned, a look of helplessness on her face, and said: "I know the hardship Lin Chen paid to reach this step, but precisely because of this, he should seek stability. It is not easy for a child of a poor family to reach this step. If he is not careful and delays the subsequent progress of martial arts, it is too much of a pity."

"Jiang Jiang Shijie's words are reasonable." Yu Yongnian nodded slightly: "But Jiang Jiang Shijie still doesn't understand Lin Chen. Lin Chen walks every step on the path of the Martial Way with extreme firmness. Since he chose the path of the extreme cultivation method, it represents that he has the perseverance and confidence to walk down this path."

"Forget it, anyway, regarding the matter between you master and disciple, I, as the Master's Wife, still won't interfere, so as not to be treated as a villain."

"What does Jiang Jiang Shijie mean by this? If Lin Chen were here right now, he would definitely be able to hear that Jiang Jiang Shijie is sincerely thinking for him. If it weren't for someone sincerely thinking for him, they would only think about cheering him on, and wouldn't pour cold water on him."

Yu Yongnian knew that his Jiang Jiang Shijie was well-intentioned, and this was even a well-intentioned advice to Lin Chen.

But as he said, Jiang Jiang Shijie still didn't understand Lin Chen. From the moment Lin Chen wrote this letter to inquire, he knew that this student of his had already made up his mind.

Since that was the case, he, as the instructor, could only support him.

Iron Blood Martial Hall.

Lin Chen followed Fu Ang to the dormitory area of the Martial Hall.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, you will live in this dormitory, and Lin Lin Shidi will be next door."

"Thank you, Lin Lin Shidi Fu."

Lin Chen entered the dormitory. Inside, bedding and toiletries were all available, and in the small courtyard, there was a large wooden tub for soaking.

"Lin Lin Shixiong, our Martial Hall students need to polish their bodies and need medicinal baths, so there will be a bathing tub in the dormitory."

Seeing Lin Chen staring at the bathing tub, Fu Ang explained with a smile, then continued: "Then Lin Lin Shixiong, rest early today, and tomorrow I will take Lin Lin Shixiong to the Martial Way Pavilion to receive the Iron Bone Technique manual."

"Tomorrow?"

Lin Chen shook his head. Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?

"Now, trouble Lin Lin Shidi to take me now."

"Lin Lin Shixiong wants to cultivate today, but it is already late at night..."

"It doesn't matter, I am already used to cultivating at night. Cultivating under the moon is precisely the time when the clear wind is cool."

Hearing this, there was a look of admiration in Fu Ang's eyes. He finally understood why Lin Lin Shixiong could cultivate the Clear Wind Palm to perfection so quickly.

Besides talent, there was diligence.

Cultivating under the moon, the clear wind is cool...

It sounds light, but how many people can do it?

At this moment, he admired Lin Chen from the bottom of his heart, rather than just respecting his strength as before.

At this moment, his admiration for Lin Chen came from the bottom of his heart, rather than just the respect for strength he had felt before.
