Who is he?

In the stands, many people were puzzled, not understanding why others were suddenly cheering.

"You don’t even know him, are you really a martial artist of Liang?"

"No, does being a martial artist of Liang mean you have to know who he is?"

"He’s Lin Chen, the one who defeated Benshan Lang from Sihe Martial Arts Academy and Hu Bing from Pilgrim Martial Arts Academy over two months ago."

Many martial artists in the stands had watched that battle back then, and seeing Lin Chen appear now made them this excited.

The scene of Lin Chen turning the tide two months ago was still replaying in their minds.

Lin Chen?

The eyes of the other people present were now focused on Lin Chen, as his name had become widely known after the battle two months ago.

Even the Grade-Entering Martial Artists had heard of him.

Several young people in the stands were intently watching Lin Chen.

This person was the rising genius of Liang, said to surpass Pei Qingming.

"What do you think?"

"He has some strength but it’s not enough."

Two young men in the stands were whispering to each other, with absolute confidence in their eyes.

"You may be celebrating too early. I admit Lin Chen is strong, defeating Hu Bing and Benshan Lang proves that, but don’t forget, Yu Beichen’s three brothers are all about to Enter the Grade, while Lin Chen has just begun Refining the Viscera not long ago; the gap in strength is significant."

"That’s right, give Lin Chen a year, maybe he could defeat Yu Beichen’s three brothers, but now, it’s unlikely."

The discussions in the stands did not affect Lin Chen. At this moment, he was walking towards the disciples of the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Meng Xing’s face also showed excitement.

Senior Brother Lin had gone to the Lingxiao Hall and had not come out, unexpectedly emerging at this moment.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Fu Ze and other new disciples of the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy were also very excited, the scene when Senior Brother Lin defeated Hu Bing was still unforgettable for them to this day.

However, the expressions of the seniors from the previous batch were not as excited and relaxed.

Yu Beichen’s three brothers were not Hu Bing and Benshan Lang. Yu Beichen’s three brothers had refined all five viscera, while Lin Chen had only refined two viscera over two months ago, the gap of three viscera was a chasm.

Even if Lin Chen’s physique is strong, those who achieved Great Success in Viscera Cultivation have already started tempering their Spirit Soldiers and could use weapons.

No matter how strong his body is, how could it compare to a Spirit Soldier?

Moreover, although rumors said that Lin Chen and Hu Bing’s bodies were as strong as those who achieved Great Success in Viscera Cultivation during their battle, there’s likely some exaggeration in this.

Not far away, Cui Yunfan’s gaze was also on Lin Chen, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes.

He had heard the name Lin Chen mentioned many times by the elders at home, and he harbored deep hatred for this person.

If not for Lin Chen’s appearance, the Military Affairs Department would have changed its policy long ago.

Lin Chen’s sudden rise disrupted the clan’s plans, and if it weren’t for the quick separation from some people, the clan would have been held accountable back then.

"Dean Hou."

Lin Chen nodded towards Meng Xing, then looked at Hou Zhantian.

At this moment, Hou Zhantian was also staring at Lin Chen. Although martial artists after Opening the Acupoints could internalize their Qi Blood, and those refining the viscera could keep it within their viscera, making it undetectable from appearance, he could still sense Lin Chen’s transformation with his sharp eyes.

His aura was much stronger than it was two months ago.

"Did you gain something in the Lingxiao Hall?"

"Yes, I gained a lot."

Lin Chen did not hide it, nodding firmly: "I am confident in this battle."

He had just carefully observed the battles of Yu Beichen’s three brothers and the three senior brothers, and as long as these three did not Enter the Grade, he was not afraid.

"Very well, in that case, you will fight in this battle, and I will also assign you two additional disciples."

Hou Zhantian took a deep look at Lin Chen, and without hesitation, agreed directly.

The policy dispute over the training of disciples by the Liang’s Military Affairs Department had been ongoing since the Grand Ancestor Emperor’s death. The voices demanding change have only increased after the death of the Northern Garrison Marquis.

This battle concerns a lot.

"Thank you, Dean."

Hou Zhantian looked at the two disciples behind him: "Cao Fan, Liu Yuanlang, you two will go on stage with Lin Chen."

"Yes."

Seeing the two senior brothers chosen by Dean Hou, Lin Chen had no objections. After exchanging glances with the two senior brothers, the three of them proceeded towards the Martial Arts Arena.

As they passed by Cui Yunfan and his group, Cui Yunfan had a smile on his face: "Junior Brother Lin, I, your senior brother, await your victory news from down here."

"I won’t let Senior Brother down."

Both Lin Chen and Cui Yunfan had smiles on their faces, but the smiles did not reach deep into their eyes.

Different paths cannot make plans together.

For Lin Chen himself, he could choose to give up, Cui Yunfan and the others’ demand to change the Military Affairs Department’s approach to training young martial artists couldn’t affect him, and in some ways, should a change happen, he could even gain more benefits.

Not just him, but for his future generations as well.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t get past the hurdle in his heart.

Without the Military Affairs Department’s policy, Lin Chen wouldn’t be who he is today, even if he had a panel!

Lin Chen was not a dragon-slaying youth, but he wouldn’t become the evil dragon either.

He wanted to leave a path for martial artists from low-class families, and as long as it doesn’t threaten his life’s safety, Lin Chen would spare no effort to do so.

Especially seeing Cui Yunfan and his group appear at this time, it showed Lin Chen that these so-called martial path geniuses who went to other countries since young had no sense of belonging to Liang; they were more focused on pursuing their own interests.
