Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 199 - 55: Damn, Lin Chen Got Taken Away! (Part 2)

Chapter 199: Chapter 55: Damn, Lin Chen Got Taken Away! (Part 2)

"What, do I need to repeat myself?"

With the elder’s voice falling, Jiang Kui and Ji Feng felt a terrifying force locking onto them.

"For someone in the Opening Acupoints Realm to want to merge techniques, such guts, but I didn’t expect him to be an idiot."

The elder appeared, watching Lin Chen’s skin begin to redden. Somehow, a bamboo staff had appeared in his hand, and he swung it mercilessly at Lin Chen.

Pa!

The staff landed on Lin Chen’s chest, instantly dispelling the redness from his skin.

"Th-Thank you, Senior, for your help."

Lin Chen was trapped in chaotic thoughts, as if he were mired in a swamp. The more he tried to think, the deeper he sank, yet he couldn’t stop.

As his body seemed about to be entirely engulfed by the swamp, suddenly, a bamboo staff appeared above him. Lin Chen didn’t hesitate and grasped the staff with both hands.

Being pulled out of the swamp by the bamboo staff, Lin Chen felt incredibly light, and his mind fully regained clarity.

In the moment of clear sight, seeing the elder standing before him, Lin Chen didn’t know what he had just experienced, but he knew it wasn’t a good thing, and the one who saved him was the elder in front of him.

"A boy who bites off more than he can chew, can’t even walk steadily yet wants to fly. It’s not just arrogance; it’s stupidity beyond measure."

Lin Chen didn’t expect to be met with the elder’s scathing words.

Though he had a thick skin, he felt immensely embarrassed at this moment.

"Isn’t it obvious that any cultivation technique is complete from the moment of its creation? The stages before Perfection exist only for fools like you to gradually understand."

The elder’s words were sharp: "Haven’t you thought that the stages before Perfection are because damn fools like you didn’t find the correct way to circulate Qi Blood?"

Lin Chen’s mouth twitched, it seemed like the elder was not just insulting him, but all martial artists.

Every martial artist starts with the Martial Arts Technique from the beginning step to Perfection.

Surely you can’t just glance at the technique and immediately understand it.

"What, still not convinced?"

Lin Chen replied firmly, "It’s not that I’m unconvinced, Senior. But according to you, the Qi-Running Technique before Perfection is wrong, so why not provide us with the correct technique from the start?"

Most importantly, he had a panel.

The panel displayed this way, could it be wrong too?

"It’s because you’re all stupid. Even with the correct Qi-Running Technique, you wouldn’t be able to endure one circulation."

Lin Chen: ...

"I really wonder how you have the qualifications to be here. The people sent by the Military Affairs Department are getting worse every time. Tell me, which noble family’s child used connections to get here?"

Though the elder had just saved him, such unfounded doubts wrinkled Lin Chen’s brow: "Senior, I am here by the Military Affairs Department’s genius standards, and I come from an ordinary background, not a noble family."

"Ordinary? Tell me exactly how ordinary."

The elder mocked, "Are you a fisherman’s son, a farmer’s child, or maybe a trader’s offspring?"

"My father is just a regular fisherman from Poyang County."

Seeing Lin Chen’s words, the elder was stunned, and after a moment, said, "Are you a Poyang County student? Which martial arts hall did you enroll in?"

"I have a special situation, considered a disciple of Jingshui Martial Arts Hall, Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, and Gale Martial Arts Hall."

"You’re a disciple of the Gale Martial Arts Hall?"

The elder’s expression varied, and a few moments later, he sighed deeply, "Alright, given Gale Martial Arts Hall’s connection, I won’t scold you anymore. Take this token, and from now on, I will guide you here."

The elder casually tossed a token to Lin Chen, who instinctively caught it. Was there a connection between this senior and Gale Martial Arts Hall?

Could it be that this senior had also emerged from Gale Martial Arts Hall?

"Senior, you..."

"Here, you all are just students, belonging to the entirety of Jiangnan Dao. There’s no need to inquire further."

The elder interrupted Lin Chen’s question, but his eyelid twitched slightly, which Lin Chen noticed, understanding the elder’s intent.

Some things are best left understood without being spoken.

"I understand, Senior." Lin Chen returned with a smile, everything needless to say.

"Just keep it in mind. Later, as you walk forward, after exiting this mist, show this token to anyone you meet. If anyone asks, tell them your Hall Master handed it to you before you came."

The elder’s expression turned serious: "I’m bending the rules by helping you this way. According to the rules, with your test score, you are only considered lower class, not qualified to meet me."

"Thank you, Senior, I understand."

"Alright, go on."

Lin Chen offered a bow and began walking forward. Though only a short distance remained, the coldness still lingered, making his steps slow.

After several dozen breaths, as Lin Chen’s figure disappeared into the depths of the mist, the elder wore a mischievous smile.

"This time, I’ve really found a treasure. Damn it, an Extreme Martial Artist who can even merge techniques. A student like this not being guided by me is a waste. Those kids just know how to teach step by step; they don’t know a damn thing about the Martial Path."

The elder had completely changed his face, fortunate that he had caught sight of fireworks on a whim and decided to take a look at this batch of students, unexpectedly rewarded with such a wonderful surprise.
