Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 324 - 100: Show Lin Chen Your Sincerity

Having one’s name inscribed on Martial Arts Mountain once and having it inscribed twice is completely different.

Many genius youths in Liang rack their brains and might still manage to have their names inscribed once on Martial Arts Mountain. From what they know, quite a few martial prodigies are preparing to leave their names after reaching the twentieth Opening Acupoints Realm.

But... these young prodigies can only have their names inscribed once on Martial Arts Mountain.

Leaving one’s name once proves one’s talent is sufficient. To continue leaving a name, one would need to hone themselves at the next Opening Acupoints Realm for a long time, months, or even half a year...

Not to mention whether it can be achieved; even if it can be done, the time cost and resources consumed are enormous.

In the Martial Path, strength speaks louder, potential is ultimately just potential.

The Opening Acupoints Realm is still too low!

Those who can leave their names multiple times on Martial Arts Mountain are not geniuses who painstakingly plan to have their names inscribed. These students who manage to leave their names multiple times did not deliberately suppress their realm breakthroughs; instead, their strength far surpasses that of others in the same realm. They can crush their opponents, and after a breakthrough, they can naturally succeed in leaving their names.

Leaving one’s name twice on Martial Arts Mountain, a genius like this appears in Liang perhaps once in a decade, while in a smaller region, it might take decades.

Such a genius, our Martial Arts Academy must have!

Ye Yuan and the others exchanged glances, shifting from their previous tacit pressure to mutual vigilance.

Jia Nanzhu noticed the change in the trio’s expressions, unsurprised. If Lin Chen had only left his name once on Martial Arts Mountain, each of the three martial academies might privately offer conditions, potentially causing displeasure. But if Lin Chen left his name twice, there would be no such issues.

The competition between the martial academies is even fiercer than that between different provinces or regions.

This fierce competition makes the martial academies crave talented students immensely. Here, the talented students are not just geniuses from various regions but those who appear only once in several years across the entire Liang.

Lin Chen happens to be such a genius. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since Lord Jia says so, let’s proceed as he suggests. Our Qingyun Martial Academy will go first."

Ye Yuan’s attitude changed quickly, a smile appearing on his face, contrasting sharply with the threatening demeanor he had just moments ago.

"Qingyun Martial Academy might not be able to go first."

Jia Nanzhu shook his head. Seeing Ye Yuan’s puzzled look, he explained, "I naturally have no opinion against Qingyun Martial Academy, but I’m afraid Lin Chen doesn’t have a good impression of it."

"Lin Chen doesn’t have a good impression of our Qingyun Martial Academy?" Ye Yuan was surprised. Given Lin Chen’s family background, he shouldn’t have interacted with Qingyun Martial Academy or even known of its existence before Ye Yuan arrived.

"A few days ago, Lin Chen encountered two disciples from Qingyun Martial Academy..."

Jia Nanzhu didn’t hide anything and recounted the situation where Lin Chen encountered disciples from Qingyun Martial Academy.

"Scoundrel, who is impersonating disciples of our Qingyun Martial Academy!"

Ye Yuan was furious. Hearing the situation, he immediately knew that someone must be impersonating Qingyun Martial Academy’s disciples.

"Lord Jia, you know the process for Qingyun Martial Academy to recruit disciples. It’s impossible to send two disciples over; it must be someone with ulterior motives, aiming to tarnish Qingyun Martial Academy’s image in Lin Chen’s mind."

After speaking, Ye Yuan directly glanced at the instructor from the Capital Martial Academy next to him.

"Why are you looking at me? Our Capital Martial Academy wouldn’t do such a thing. Who’s to say it’s not just overly arrogant Qingyun Martial Academy disciples? It’s not the first time Qingyun Martial Academy disciples have been condescending."

Luo Wen retorted bluntly and confidently. He didn’t orchestrate this, but regardless of who did, as long as Qingyun Martial Academy was vexed, he would clap with glee and say, "Well done!"

"Junior Brother Ye, I know that Qingyun Martial Academy wouldn’t do such a thing, and I’ve already discussed this with Lin Chen. However, it does leave a somewhat bad impression on Lin Chen, so perhaps these two Junior Brothers should meet Lin Chen first, and then you, Junior Brother Ye, can interact with him."

In fact, Jia Nanzhu could guess that someone was impersonating Qingyun Martial Academy disciples. He didn’t care who was behind it. The key was to use this to apply some pressure on Junior Brother Ye, prompting him to sweeten the deal afterward.

As for who impersonated the Qingyun Martial Academy disciples, that was for Qingyun Martial Academy to investigate.

"Gentlemen, who will go first?"

Facing Jia Nanzhu’s gaze, Luo Wen and Song Zhixue pondered for a moment.

Originally, they thought Lin Chen had left his name only once on Martial Arts Mountain, but now that information was incorrect. Lin Chen had left his name twice. Thus, the agreed-upon terms discussed before were somewhat inadequate, and the two were considering what kind of offer they should present to Lin Chen.

"I’ll go first then."

After a few moments, Song Zhixue spoke up first.

"Junior Brother Luo, please!"

Jia Nanzhu, smiling, led Song Zhixue to the back mountain, leaving Luo Wen and Ye Yuan.

Qingyun Martial Academy and the Capital Martial Academy didn’t get along. Leaving these two together, they certainly wouldn’t discuss terms for Lin Chen or form an alliance.

To be blunt, even if they verbally agreed to form an alliance and keep the terms unchanged, they’d still question if the other was setting them up.

These two martial academies didn’t trust each other at all.

...

...

"Lin Chen, this is Instructor Song from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy."

In the back mountain, Lin Chen stood there. Upon hearing his teacher’s words, he immediately greeted them with respect.

Song Zhixue appraised Lin Chen, showing a satisfied look in his eyes. Lin Chen’s face, though not as fair as those of noble children, reflected sunlight filtering through the mottled trees, making his skin appear semi-translucent, like amber.
