Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 340 - 106: Jiang Duanchao: My Spear Has Never Failed_3

Chapter 340: Chapter 106: Jiang Duanchao: My Spear Has Never Failed_3

Having experienced school class division in his previous life, he understood the importance of atmosphere too well.

Students in focus classes will always be more motivated than those in regular classes.

Two students with the same grades, when placed in a focus class versus a regular one, the focus class student’s improvement will inevitably far exceed that of the regular class student.

As for those who say they can maintain their grades and surpass the former in a regular class, they’re either in novels or in online comments—"I have a classmate," "I have a relative" series... Anyway, it couldn’t be me.

"Don’t have any other thoughts, you are set to go to the Martial Arts Academy."

...

...

Liang, the Capital!

"What did I say? I said that Lin Chen would continue to make a name at Martial Arts Mountain, leaving a name for Opening the Acupoints in twenty places, defeating Senior Pei Qingming."

Ye Feng was very excited, even more so than when he himself left his name at Martial Arts Mountain.

"Stop pacing back and forth, those who don’t know might think you’re the one who left a name at Martial Arts Mountain."

Shen Ze watched Ye Feng pacing back and forth in the courtyard, looking extremely excited, but he himself felt incredibly depressed.

Since Lin Chen successfully left a name for Opening the Acupoints in twenty places and the twenty-first place certainly couldn’t stop him.

The problem facing him now is severe: whether to continue waiting or, just as Ye Feng suggested, leave a name at Martial Arts Mountain first—even if Lin Chen replaces it in a month, it still counts as having left a name.

"Ye Feng, is Lin Chen truly so powerful?"

"You’re asking me? Don’t you know the existence of Senior Pei? Still clinging to a fluke?"

Upon hearing Shen Ze’s words, Ye Feng rolled his eyes: "The next month—or no, half a month is your last chance. With Lin Chen’s speed, it won’t be long before he opens the twenty-first place. Once Lin Chen leaves a name first, you can forget about it."

"Perhaps I can defeat him." Shen Ze said unwillingly.

"Ha-ha..."

Ye Feng chuckled sarcastically, but the meaning was clear.

"Alright then, I’ll challenge Martial Arts Mountain in fifteen days, and try to enhance my strength in the remaining half month."

Shen Ze made up his mind. Ye Feng opened his mouth, wanted to persuade Shen Ze to challenge now, but he too once prided himself on being a genius and never found anyone among his peers he couldn’t defeat unless he fought Lin Chen himself; he wouldn’t believe someone could crush him like this.

For himself, so it is for Shen Ze; those who are proud and arrogant cannot be persuaded by others’ words.

...

On the other side of the alley, in Yue Mansion.

Yue Lingxu looked solemn, speaking to the middle-aged man beside him: "Father, I understand. Lin Chen can defeat Senior Pei. When he breaks through to Opening the Acupoints in twenty-one places, he will surely leave a name at Martial Arts Mountain. I must challenge him first, ten days... ten days later, I’ll go up Martial Arts Mountain."

"Yes."

Yue’s father listened to his son’s words, but his face showed a look of relief. Being able to face the gap with others is a sign of growth.

The path of Martial Arts is still very long, temporary setbacks mean nothing.

Pei Qingming is hailed as Liang’s greatest genius in three hundred years not because of his five-time name-leaving at Martial Arts Mountain.

Five-time name-leaving at Martial Arts Mountain only shows potential. Pei Qingming earned this title due to his later incredible performance along the Martial Path.

...

...

Raozhou Prefecture, Huo Family.

There was a silence.

The atmosphere in the Huo Family was oppressive, even the servants noticed it. Since the young master returned injured not long ago, the Huo Family’s atmosphere has been very gloomy, reaching a freezing point today.

From the main hall, the sound of porcelain breaking occasionally came out.

"I didn’t... I didn’t expect Lin Chen to have grown to this stage. Father, what should we do next?"

Huo Kang looked at his father, unable to comprehend how Lin Chen, simply from a fisherman’s background, could have made a mark in Raozhou Prefecture—it was tolerable—but he has now gained fame across Jiangnan Dao... no, he can be said to have stolen the spotlight throughout Liang.

Leaving a name at Martial Arts Mountain!

Upon first hearing of Lin Chen leaving a name at Martial Arts Mountain, the father smashed his favorite porcelain set that day.

"What should we do? If I knew what to do, would I still be here?"

Huo Zhong glared at his son fiercely. If Lin Chen was only famous in Jiangnan Dao, he wouldn’t be too worried because Li Family had Li Zhe suppressing him. However, as Lin Chen left a name at Martial Arts Mountain and won Jiangnan Dao’s exemplary student title, he became restless and unsettled.

When he saw the Military Affairs Department’s publication about Lin Chen’s triple name leaving at Martial Arts Mountain, his hands were trembling as he held the public document.

"We can’t let Lin Chen continue to grow, otherwise our Huo Family will be finished in the future."

After his glare, Huo Zhong muttered to himself, and upon hearing it, Huo Kang shuddered: "Father, Lin Chen is now under multiple attentions. If anything happens to him, not only will the Military Affairs Hall be shaken, even the Military Affairs Department will investigate."

According to Liang’s law, daring to harm a genius like Lin Chen will lead to the downfall of the Huo Family.

"You think I’m unaware of the risks, but you think Lin Chen has a broad mindset? Didn’t you read his article? Martial Hall student Zhang Tao mocked him once and was included in his article. The higher Lin Chen climbs in Martial Path, the more people read his article, and Zhang Tao will be ridiculed by all of Liang."

Huo Zhong’s old eyes showed a ruthless glare. He had been targeting Lin Chen, and since Lin Chen dared to act against his child at the Special Training Ground, it was impossible to resolve the feud with the Huo Family.

Only by killing Lin Chen before he fully develops can the Huo Family be preserved. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Write to Shu’Er and tell her to come home, I have something to discuss with her."

Huo Kang froze: "Father, you’re not considering involving the Li Family, are you? The Li Family likely won’t participate."

"Of course the Li Family won’t participate, but they hope Lin Chen would disappear too."

Huo Zhong sneered repeatedly. Li Family has Li Yuan above and Li Zhe below, needing not to worry about Lin Chen threatening them when he grows, and surely wouldn’t get involved in such matters.

He doesn’t need the Li Family to participate, only for them to "unintentionally" reveal some tidbits.

...

...

Also in Raozhou Prefecture, Jiang Mansion.

Jiang Duanchao, holding a long spear with a face full of killing intent: "What does the Martial Arts Academy mean? To make me, Jiang Duanchao, sell my daughter? This spear has not dulled!"
