Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 100 - 9: Low-class Family’s Young Eagle, Finally Takes First Place

Chapter 100: Chapter 9: Low-class Family’s Young Eagle, Finally Takes First Place

Kong Yinglei’s voice was sonorous and powerful, and the gaze of everyone present fell on her.

In the eyes of the common people and the Martial Hall trainees from various towns, they saw Kong Yinglei clench her fists tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from exertion, her chest heaving violently, showing her intense anger within.

However, her eyes were incredibly resolute, her posture erect like a resilient poplar tree, standing proudly in the center, moving those who watched.

The man from the Martial Affairs Office in charge of the competition kept twitching his mouth and looked over to Su Lingchuan’s side. When he saw Lord Su slightly nod, he understood and said in a loud voice:

"Vice Hall Master Kong, please don’t misunderstand. The reason why Jiang Qing is competing against Lin Chen is that your Martial Hall’s two trainees are contending for first and second place. The other three trainees, knowing they couldn’t win, voluntarily gave up the fight for first place."

Kong Yinglei was satisfied, smiling as she clasped her fists and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood."

Misunderstood?

Kong Yinglei, do you have no shame?

The vice hall masters of the other seven martial halls looked as dark as coal, but Qi He’s expression remained unchanged, as his face was always dark and couldn’t get any darker.

"It’s right for Chen’er to join Jingshui Martial Arts Hall. With such a Hall Master, Chen’er won’t suffer grievances in the Hall."

Mrs. Lin looked at Kong Yinglei with gratitude in her eyes, and Father Lin nodded in agreement, sharing the same thought.

The other commoners were shocked by the response from the Martial Affairs Office personnel at this moment.

The two trainees from Jingshui Martial Arts Hall were so powerful that they made trainees from other martial halls give up voluntarily.

Is Jingshui Martial Arts Hall really that amazing?

Many young boys and girls were inspired with a thought in their hearts, to practice martial arts and join Jingshui Martial Arts Hall!

Even those Martial Hall trainees from well-off families were somewhat influenced at this moment. Who wouldn’t want to join a martial hall whose vice hall master dares to argue with the Martial Affairs Office for the benefit of its trainees?

And the two on stage have already proven the strength and foundation of Jingshui Martial Arts Hall.

On the arena, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing exchanged smiles, unaffected by Kong Yinglei’s actions.

"Junior Brother Lin, I originally thought this competition would be boring, but unexpectedly, you gave me a surprise."

"I too didn’t expect to make it this far. Before the competition, I never imagined I could face Senior Sister Jiang."

Lin Chen spoke sincerely, feeling quite grateful to Senior Sister Jiang in his heart.

If it weren’t for Senior Sister Jiang’s action against Zhou San that day, teaching him the principle of eradicating the roots, he wouldn’t have obtained the scroll imprinted with the Martial Path Will, and his Clear Wind Palm wouldn’t have reached perfection, nor would he have opened seven acupoints.

With Great Success in Clear Wind Palm and opening six acupoints, he could at most compete for the top five, and the top three would be quite dangerous.

"Junior Brother Lin, I, your Senior Sister, will not hold back."

"I will give it my all too."

Both expressed that they would not go easy on each other just because they were from the same school.

The atmosphere intensified with their dialogue, and all eyes focused on the arena, on the showdown between the two strongest prodigies among the new trainees of the Eight Great Martial Arts Halls.

In previous competitions among new trainees, rankings were often debated, as the gap between competitors, especially the top eight, wasn’t significant, leaving some room for luck in the rankings.

But this time, even Gu Shan and others had to admit that a gap had developed between them and Jiang Qing and Lin Chen.

Jiang Qing, clad in green, stood upright, surrounded by a powerful aura.

"Junior Brother, be careful now."

As soon as she spoke, Jiang Qing’s figure moved like lightning, instantly closing in on Lin Chen, her right hand forming a palm, with cascading sounds of water waves, surging towards Lin Chen like a raging tide.

Pa!

Lin Chen also delivered a Clear Wind Palm. At its perfect stage, the Clear Wind Palm made no sound as it was executed, but no one underestimated this palm.

As their palms collided, Lin Chen stepped back half a figure.

It seemed that even with the boost from his perfect-stage Clear Wind Palm, it was difficult to gain an advantage over Senior Sister in a direct confrontation.

Opening nine acupoints was not simply a lead of two acupoints but crossing a minor stage.

However, the perfection of Clear Wind Palm not only brought an increase in power but also enhanced combat technique.

In martial artist duels, power and speed are important, but the timing and precision of the moves are equally crucial. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Giving up direct confrontation, Lin Chen fully leveraged the advantage of his perfect Clear Wind Palm, and the spectators saw a flurry of palm shadows covering the entire arena.

The two engaged in rapid exchanges, so fast that the common people could hardly follow their movements.

Meanwhile, trainees like Gu Shan from the martial halls watched, mesmerized by the dazzling fight between the two.

Jiang Qing’s frightening speed and power, when she executed the Water Cloud Palm, could be felt even from several feet away from the arena, filled with astonishing energy.

On the other hand, Lin Chen’s Clear Wind Palm was like a heavenly steed, untraceable and applied with absolute control, each move was like the finishing touch of a masterstroke.

"Watch this battle well, learn as much as you can," Chen Chunfeng, bearing his responsibility as an instructor, reminded the trainees of Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall despite the intensity of the fight.

"Junior Brother Lin, I must admit, your perfect Clear Wind Palm imposes great pressure on me. If you can withstand these next three moves from me, I will voluntarily concede."

Jiang Qing’s voice echoed in the arena, as she separated from Lin Chen. However, Lin Chen stayed close, delivering Clear Wind Palm continuously.
