Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 285 - 86: Since Lin Was Born, Why Was Ye Born?

Chapter 285: Chapter 86: Since Lin Was Born, Why Was Ye Born?

Martial Arts Mountain!

Opening Nineteen Acupoints Steps!

Ye Feng stood ready, having figured out Senior Liang’s moves. As long as he attacks first and doesn’t let Senior Liang’s elusive body technique come into play, victory is certain.

[Opening Nineteen Acupoints: Liang Calendar 299, Jiangnan Dao Raozhou Prefecture Lin Chen.]

The moment he heard a sound in his ear, Ye Feng moved, his body turning into a stream of light. He couldn’t be bothered to listen to the sound from the Martial Arts Mountain; he only knew that when the sound appeared, it was the moment Senior Liang appeared.

A figure appeared in front of him.

Just by looking at this figure, Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, was it not Senior Liang?

But at this moment, his fist was already thrown. Even though this sudden change made him doubt, he couldn’t stop.

No matter why the opponent changed, his purpose in coming to the Martial Arts Mountain remained unchanged: to defeat the opponent and leave his name on the Martial Arts Mountain.

What surprised him, however, was that this figure only glanced at him after appearing and then stood still, not even lifting a hand.

"Is there a problem with the Martial Arts Mountain?"

But he couldn’t care about this; his eyes were fierce, and his fist came crashing down.

Bam!

The fist landed on the opponent’s shoulder, and Ye Feng’s pupils contracted suddenly. At this moment, he only felt a terrifying force rebound from his fist, causing his Qi Blood to surge back from his arm, his Dantian suddenly destabilized and chaotic.

What made Ye Feng more despairing was that he watched as this expressionless figure raised a hand to hit, and then a sharp pain came from his chest. For a moment, Ye Feng felt as though he had died.

...

"Disciple, open your mouth!"

Moments before losing consciousness, Ye Feng seemed to hear his mentor’s voice, using the last trace of will to open his mouth.

...

"How could this happen?"

The old man looked at his unconscious disciple in his arms with disbelief on his aged face.

A month ago, his disciple could engage with Senior Liang for over a thousand breaths, ultimately losing by a narrow margin, never having suffered such a heavy injury.

Moreover, the figures left behind by the seniors on the Martial Arts Mountain, although they only retained combat will without self-thinking ability, the Grand Ancestor Emperor had considered this when it was established. They were all aimed at talented youths of Liang; if they suffered irreversible injuries in combat, it would be a loss for Liang.

Therefore, the Martial Arts Mountain would weaken these seniors’ martial will power by thirty percent at the moment one side is determined to win, so the challenging youths wouldn’t suffer heavy injuries.

Could it be that Senior Liang’s strength suddenly surged?

Wait!

A spark of realization flashed in the old man’s mind. Once someone leaves their name on the Martial Arts Mountain, it captures the strength of the individual at that time. Whatever their strength was at the time of naming is exactly as it stays, neither increasing nor decreasing.

Senior Liang’s strength wouldn’t surge, but what if it was someone else?

So the second person from Jiangnan Dao to leave a name on the Martial Arts Mountain marked the Nineteen Acupoints?

Apart from this, there was no other possible explanation for why his disciple was so severely injured.

Looking at his unconscious disciple, the old man couldn’t help but gaze up at the sky. If he had known earlier, he’d have let his disciple challenge an hour earlier.

Thus, even if he was surpassed later on, at least his name would have been left.

As long as the name is left, even if only for a single breath, it would still be leaving a name, and the rewards from the Military Affairs Department and Military Affairs Hall would not be less.

...

...

"Have you heard? Someone from Jiangnan Dao has left their name on the Martial Arts Mountain again?"

"Is that true? Is there a genius explosion from Jiangnan Dao?"

"It’s true, the name is already on the Military Affairs Hall’s name stone wall, but it only shows the words Jiangnan Dao, not specifying how many acupoints were marked or who it was."

"Could it be the same person, since they’re both from Jiangnan Dao?"

"I asked my grandfather, and according to him, the possibility of it being the same person is very slim. Lin Chen from Jiangnan Dao left his name at the Eighteen Acupoints recently, in such a short time, it’s impossible to break through to another realm and challenge the Martial Arts Mountain again, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless this time, the name left is at Nineteen Acupoints. If that’s the case, then it might indeed be Lin Chen."

"Nineteen Acupoints. If I remember right, Ye Feng from Guixi Dao has been suppressing his realm, aiming to leave his name at Nineteen Acupoints."

"Ye Feng has put a lot of thought into leaving his name at Nineteen Acupoints on the Martial Arts Mountain. He should be able to succeed. When Lin Chen breaks through to Nineteen Acupoints, these two will have another showdown."

...

...

All over the provinces, discussions about the Martial Arts Mountain were rampant, far exceeding the fervor from a few days ago when Lin Chen left his name there for the first time. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The reason was the short time between the two events, and secondly, because both events were attributed to Jiangnan Dao.

In the Capital of Liang Kingdom.

A group of youths gathered in a manor.

Six men and two women, all clad in fine clothes.

"Jiangnan Dao is doing well this time, with two names left on the Martial Arts Mountain in succession, but we don’t know at which acupoint the second name was placed."

"I just went to the Martial Arts Mountain, the senior at Twenty-One Acupoints hasn’t changed."

"Twenty-Two Acupoints is the same."

"Twenty-Three Acupoints also remains unchanged."

"If none of you changed, Twenty-Four Acupoints is even less likely to change."

The group spoke, smiling. All six had aspirations to leave their names on the Martial Arts Mountain, but their targets were all beyond Twenty Acupoints.

Before Twenty Acupoints, suppressing their strength was not worth it, as it would hinder their own cultivation progress.

Those seeking to leave a name before Twenty Acupoints were only martial talents from various provinces, knowing they couldn’t compete, they opted to leave their names around ten acupoints instead.
