Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 138 - 29: Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall Faces Life or Death

Forget it, this will do. After all, Lin Chen’s Water Cloud Palm hasn’t reached perfection yet. In battle, he mostly uses Clear Wind Palm, and now he’s added Iron Bone Skill.

Those unaware of the situation will see Lin Chen using Clear Wind Palm and assume he is a disciple of the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall. Then, I’ll arrange for someone to explain it, spread the word about Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall’s oversight, and everyone will think Lin Chen is a disciple of the Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall.

...

...

Jingshui Martial Arts Hall.

Zeng Qingyao returned to the hall with a sullen face, and Kong Yinglei looked at her senior sister’s unpleasant expression with confusion, "Senior Sister, did something happen?"

"Lord Su summoned me to the Martial Affairs Office to discuss Lin Chen. Lin Chen’s comprehension of Iron Bone Skill is not inferior to the Clear Wind Palm."

Listening to her senior sister’s brief recount, Kong Yinglei’s eyes brightened, "Senior Sister, this is good news. No matter what, Lin Chen is still a disciple of our Jingshui Martial Arts Hall."

"Clear Wind Palm reached perfection, and Iron Bone Skill achieved great success. I’m afraid Iron Bone Skill will soon reach perfection, yet Lin Chen’s Water Cloud Palm remains imperfect. With Tai Rubai’s nature, he will definitely publicize this, and Lin Chen’s identity as a disciple of Jingshui Martial Arts Hall won’t be genuine."

Given that the conditions offered by Tai Rubai are beneficial to Lin Chen, Zeng Qingyao naturally won’t oppose it, but she knows Tai Rubai well.

Unlike Li Tianqi, who is still aiming for breakthrough in the grades, Tai Rubai, nearing forty, has long ceased his pursuit of breakthroughs on the Martial Path, focusing more on enhancing the influence of the Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall.

With guidance from Lord Li, Lin Chen’s Iron Bone Skill will surely reach perfection, and at that time, Jingshui Martial Arts Hall will be in a passive position.

"Then... should we urge Lin Chen to focus more on Water Cloud Palm?"

Zeng Qingyao looked at her junior sister with some helplessness, "Do you think Martial Arts Techniques grow like cabbages in the field? Lin Chen has to train in Iron Bone Skill, and also divide his attention to Water Cloud Palm. Even a genius with the highest comprehension can’t withstand such demands."

"More importantly, have you thought about what comes after Iron Bone Skill? In the Extreme Martial Arts Path, there are two methods: one is to train in two martial arts techniques, which is what Lord Su arranged for Lin Chen. But it’s clear Lin Chen’s high comprehension exceeded Lord Su’s expectations, so Lord Su might plan for Lin Chen to take the most extreme path: palm technique for the upper body, horizontal training for the middle, and leg technique for the lower body. Gale Martial Arts Hall’s Gale Leg is very suitable."

"Clear Wind Palm, Iron Bone Skill, plus Gale Leg from Gale Martial Arts Hall... If Lin Chen can perfect Iron Bone Skill, Gale Leg will be no problem. Then he will have four martial arts techniques, three perfected, yet Water Cloud Palm still imperfect..."

Kong Yinglei’s mouth was slightly open, and with her senior sister’s prompt, she too realized the problem.

Among the disciples of Jingshui Martial Arts Hall, only Water Cloud Palm isn’t perfected, while the martial arts techniques of the other three are perfected. This will, indeed, attract criticism.

Yet since Lin Chen is now on the Extreme Martial Arts Path, he can’t afford distractions. With one perfected Clear Wind Palm, there’s no rush for Water Cloud Palm to break through.

"Forget it, let’s wait until the county competition ends. By the time the county competition ends, Lin Chen should go to the Military Affairs Department. There might be changes by then, so worrying about this now is pointless."

Zeng Qingyao rubbed her temples. If it were just an ordinary talented student, she could anticipate their progress on the Martial Path. But Lin Chen...

She finds it increasingly hard to predict.

Originally, she thought Lin Chen would settle down for at least a year on the Extreme Martial Arts Path. Unexpectedly, in less than three months, he achieved great success in Iron Bone Skill.

Such a genius cannot be measured by common sense.

...

...

Lin Chen was unaware that at this moment, there was such a scheming meeting concerning his disciple’s affiliation.

A private room in a county inn.

Besides Lin Chen, Lu Yongfeng, Zhao Jingchuan, and Cheng Ying, there were also three middle-aged men.

Lin Chen recognized one of them as Zhao Dongyang, while the other two were the fathers of Lu Yongfeng and Cheng Ying.

Choosing candidates to hand over the fish farm, the most suitable ones that came to Lin Chen’s mind were these three junior brothers.

Don’t let the fat water flow into outsiders’ fields.

Zhao Dongyang and the other two were very excited. For them, development in Kaohe Town had reached its limit. There are only so many people in the whole town, and business has a ceiling.

The three families have thought about moving to the city, but entering the city isn’t that simple.

Every industry in the county has a family backing it, a powerful martial artist supporting it.

"Nephew Lin, I never thought you would consider the three of us in such a good matter. It’s lucky for our Jingchuan to have a senior brother like you, and lucky for my Zhao Family too."

"Uncle Zhao, you’re too polite. Apart from my relationship with Junior Brother Zhao, you’ve taken care of my family a lot. I’m not an ungrateful villain."

Lin Chen smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Father Lu and Father Cheng, "Uncles, you don’t need to be courteous either. Junior Brother Lu has sent me ginseng many times, and the clothes I’m wearing are from your fabric shop, Uncle Cheng."

Father Lu and Father Cheng were also filled with emotion. When their sons were surpassed by Lin Chen, they were somewhat discontent. But later, learning about their sons’ good relationship with Lin Chen, especially over the Spring Festival when their sons became more diligent on the Martial Path after interacting with Lin Chen, their attitude changed.

In comparison, they didn’t have Zhao Dongyang’s foresight. Zhao Dongyang could see at a glance that Lin Chen was a hidden flood dragon. It’s said that the fish caught by the Lin Family, when sent to Zhao’s restaurant, fetched prices several percent higher than the fish store.

Yet Zhao Dongyang was savvy enough to say, since the fish was freshly caught from the lake, it should be worth a few more pennies for its freshness.
