Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 287 - 87: Second Entry in the Records, Martial Arts Seal Reward

Chapter 287: Chapter 87: Second Entry in the Records, Martial Arts Seal Reward

[Martial Arts Mountain Inscription: Lin Chen from Jiangnan Dao Raozhou Prefecture, second inscription!]

A majestic voice sounded by his ear.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed. This time, the voice was different from the last one. Last time, it directly gave a reward, but this time it mentioned a "second inscription."

[Reward: Two-Star Martial Arts Seal!]

As the voice ceased, a golden light descended from above, and an object resembling a seal fell into Lin Chen’s hands.

"Martial Arts Seal?"

Lin Chen examined the seal, about the length of a forefinger, unsure of its material but found it comfortable to the touch. It was entirely transparent, and on this Mountain Seal, there were two star-shaped grooves.

[Martial Arts Seal: Crafted from the stones of Martial Arts Mountain. Drip blood to recognize the owner, and its meaning will reveal itself.]

"Drip blood?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen’s mouth twitched. The clichéd blood-dripping plot, not even used in internet novels from his past life, unexpectedly confronted him now.

Gazing at the square seal in his hand, Lin Chen bit his finger, and blood dropped onto the seal.

Soon, the drop of blood seeped into the seal, and the entire seal emitted a faint red glow. Lin Chen watched as his blood settled at the bottom of the seal, spreading like a blooming blood flower, leaving a red mark at the base of the seal.

As Lin Chen willed it, the seal shone, and a line of text appeared before him.

[Two-Star Martial Arts Seal: Lin Chen]

[Martial Points: 2] (Increase by 1 point after a year of inscription)

[With ten Martial Points, you may ascend to the Second Tier of Martial Arts Mountain!]

[Wearing this seal, with a single thought, you can enter Martial Arts Mountain.]

[The holder of this seal shall be granted facilities throughout the County Government Offices and Martial Affairs Offices within Liang.]

[This seal contains a lower-grade martial spirit. In times of crisis, shatter the seal to release the spirit.]

...

After reading the information that appeared before him, Lin Chen gained a detailed understanding of this Martial Arts Seal.

It’s a transporter for Martial Arts Mountain, a one-time protective amulet, and a symbol of status.

"I just wonder what the Second Tier of Martial Arts Mountain has, that it requires 10 Martial Points to enter. Even if I could inscribe at all subsequent acupoints, it wouldn’t be enough."

Lin Chen muttered inwardly. These two Martial Points were earned by inscribing at two places. Even with five more acupoints to inscribe, he would have at most seven points.

However, according to the growth rule of Martial Points, if he could indeed inscribe seven times, by next year he would have 14 Martial Points.

Lin Chen was curious about the Second Tier of Martial Arts Mountain, and he was pleased with the martial spirit stored within the Martial Arts Seal, which he could use in emergencies like Senior Sister Jiang.

The protection that Liang provides for talents is indeed commendable.

What pleased Lin Chen the most was the ability to enter Martial Arts Mountain at will, which meant he wouldn’t need to return to the Special Training Ground even after further breakthroughs.

Moreover, since there is a Two-Star, there must be a Three-Star. With two inscriptions being Two-Star, does this imply that three inscriptions will be Three-Star?

As the star level increases, the benefits provided by the Martial Arts Seal will undoubtedly grow as well.

...

...

Stowing away the Martial Arts Seal, Lin Chen glanced at the other two steps above and attempted to step up, but before he could get close, a force blocked his progress. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[Insufficient Martial Points!]

Alright!

Lin Chen pursed his lips, turned around, and leaped down the steps.

As soon as Lin Chen exited the iron hall doors, he saw Yu Fei and Shen Ge, along with a third person, approaching together.

"Senior Brother Lin, could it be that you’ve suddenly opened all nineteen acupoints?"

Seeing Lin Chen nod, Yu Fei, Shen Ge, and the other young man wore incredulous expressions. They weren’t shocked that Senior Brother Lin had broken through to all nineteen acupoints. Although it was a quick pace during his months in the Special Training Ground, it was still within an acceptable range, seen as accumulated since long ago.

They were stunned that Senior Brother Lin had his name inscribed on Martial Arts Mountain just days ago, and having just broken through, he came again. He indeed treats Martial Arts Mountain as his backyard, coming anytime he likes.

For them, qualifying to ascend Martial Arts Mountain even once requires gathering one hundred points.

There’s no need to guess, after inscribing on Martial Arts Mountain, Lin Chen likely has no further points restrictions and can come anytime he wishes.

Some people have different fates.

Envy, but not jealousy.

A genius is deserving of privileges. If they could also inscribe on Martial Arts Mountain, they could enjoy the same benefits as Senior Brother Lin.

"With Senior Brother Lin’s strength, another inscription is certain in the near future."

Shen Ge flattered, then smiled wryly, "Unlike us, still challenging seniors with four acupoints difference."

After nearly three months, Shen Ge, Yu Fei, and a few others also reached nineteen acupoints, but on Martial Arts Mountain, had only defeated seniors at fifteen acupoints, remaining stuck at the sixteenth.

Compared to them, Lin Chen’s comprehension was superior, not to mention his strength. Now, even the realm they maintained for pride was overtaken by Lin Chen, which filled Shen Ge with a mix of emotions.

He recalled when he once sparred with Senior Brother Lin.

If only he had taken the Acupoint Opening Pills given by the adults earlier, consuming both, not allowing Lin Chen the chance to break through further, perhaps he could have tied with Lin Chen back then.

Missing that opportunity, Shen Ge feared he would never catch up to Senior Brother Lin in this lifetime.

Shen Ge was self-aware. His family background was decent within Yanshan County, but compared to the influential families of the Prefecture City, there was no comparison, and Lin Chen already dominated the entire prefecture. With his name inscribed on Martial Arts Mountain, who, even across Jiangnan Dao, could compare with him?
