Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 190 - 51: Lin Chen: I Could Slap My Past Self to Death
The Marshal looked at his disciple. Not all martial artists like joining the Military Department.
Many martial artists choose to join the Military Affairs Department and eventually take the path of the Martial Arts Examination, especially those of low-class families, who prefer this route. Making a name in the Military Affairs Department and passing the Martial Arts Examination signifies bringing glory to their family.
"Teacher, if it weren’t for this matter, I wouldn’t be confident, but now that the Military Affairs Hall has suppressed this, Lin Chen surely must be discontent with the hall. As long as our department can provide Lin Chen with the same resources as the hall, I believe Lin Chen would choose to join us."
"As for the Martial Arts Examination... as long as Lin Chen doesn’t hold a grade-entry official position in our department, he can still participate in it."
The Marshal pondered for a moment, a spark in his old eyes: "This matter, let’s discuss again in three months."
"Teacher, I’m afraid there might be changes in three months..."
"The three-month genius training by the Military Affairs Hall is very beneficial for young martial artists in the Opening Acupoints Realm, and in this regard, our department can’t match up to the hall."
Fang Ze paused and then smiled wryly; he understood what the teacher meant. It was indeed an oversight on his part.
After all, the Military Affairs Hall specializes in cultivating young martial artists, and it has its unique advantages, especially the three-month special training for genius martial artists. Even though he hadn’t participated personally, he had heard the news that the reason noble families send their children to the martial garden is precisely for this three-month special training.
For those successors nurtured meticulously by the noble families, entering the court isn’t very enticing. The family’s accumulated resources over generations provide enough for them to enter the grade, and generally, the family would have other members positioned in the court, from whom they can exchange for the court’s unique resources.
What attracts these family successors is the genius training of the Military Affairs Hall.
Even if our department wants to recruit Lin Chen, it also has to wait until the genius training is over.

...
Martial Arts Garden.
For five consecutive days, Lin Chen endured the suffering of body pounding in the small black room of the Martial Arts Garden.
The sixth day.
The Purple Crystal Marrow Liquid was almost depleted, with only a few drops left.
"I can only practice up to here."
Lin Chen didn’t plan to use up the remaining drops of Purple Crystal Marrow Liquid, as it is a miraculous medicine for body recovery; he decided to keep a few drops in reserve.
"Panel!"
[Host: Lin Chen]
[Realm: Limit Opening Realm (14/24): (160/300)]
[Qi Blood: 345000] (Previous Qi Blood growth viewable)
[Clear Wind Palm: Limit Breaking]
[Iron Bone Skill: Perfection]
[Water Cloud Palm: Limit Breaking]
[Title: All the Way Black (Unsettled Heaven and Earth, you and I are underdogs. Wearing this title, martial comprehension and perception increase in the dark)]
[Life Chart: [Natural Progress]: Extreme Martial Arts First Realm, perseverance, step by step advancement, unstoppable, no bottleneck problem.]
Seeing the panel values, Lin Chen grinned broadly, an exceptionally bright smile.
After eating snake meat, his Qi Blood increased by over thirty thousand the next day, almost reaching the big threshold of three hundred fifty thousand.
In these five days, the self-harmful method he created for practicing Iron Bone Skill didn’t improve it, but Lin Chen could feel that his internal meridians were a bit thicker than before.
He tried to use Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm after the heavy pounding in the small black room.
On the first day, he couldn’t do it at all, and on the second day, the internal flow was extremely unstable with less than ten percent of its usual power.
On the third day, he managed to reach forty percent. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
On the fourth day, it reached sixty percent.
On the fifth day, which was today, despite his Qi Blood being unsteady, he finally managed to maintain the power undiminished.
But he could only sustain it for three palms; after three palms, his internal Qi Blood would be utterly disturbed and out of control.
Three desperate palms!
From the progress made these days, Lin Chen confidently felt that he could take out his former self from six days ago with a single palm.
The reason for comparing with his past self is because those he knows have already been left far behind, making them incomparable.
"I must not become arrogant. The growth is due to the blood and flesh of the Snake Monster. The noble family descendants also have a chance to access demon beast blood flesh, and they might even consume higher-grade demon beast blood flesh."
He silently reminded himself with a couple of sentences, just as he was about to delve into the Snake Shadow Bow, a voice came.
"Young Master Lin, a guest wants to see you."
The maid from the Martial Arts Garden announced. Seeing the man following the maid, Lin Chen immediately stood up: "Hall Master Zhao, why are you here?"
"Lin Chen, rest assured, no matter which miscreant is acting against you, I have already written to a veteran who came from the martial hall, and he will go to the Military Affairs Hall to fight for you, concerning their suppression of your Jiangnan Dao student model approval."
Zhao Qifeng started with a righteous indignation.
There are no walls without leaks; no matter if it happened in the Military Affairs Hall, after a few days, it circulated secretly.
Zhao Qifeng didn’t know the deeper matters. He merely assumed that other houses opposed Lin Chen’s selection as the Jiangnan Dao student model and saw it as a good opportunity to build a closer relationship with Lin Chen.
Although the Gale Martial Arts Hall had not been impressive over the years, it had once been glorious. Decades ago, it produced a seventh-grade martial artist capable of speaking a few words in the Military Affairs Hall.
Lin Chen frowned, Jiangnan Dao student model?
The Director of the Military Affairs Department had mentioned this matter to him, did something go wrong?
Seeing Lin Chen’s puzzled gaze, Zhao Qifeng felt a jolt in his heart, wondering if Lord Su hadn’t told Lin Chen about this?
If neither Lord Su nor Junior Sister Zeng nor Tai Rubai mentioned it, then I... might have just made a mistake.
"Haha... Lin Chen, just pretend I, the Hall Master, haven’t come today, didn’t hear anything, can you?"
Lin Chen’s mouth twitched a bit: "Hall Master Zhao, I can pretend you haven’t been here, but do you think this is meaningful?"
Zhao Qifeng fell silent, realizing he was indeed foolish, not having to rush to find Lin Chen. He should have asked Junior Sister Zeng, not even Tai Rubai.
PS: Five thousand words delivered, more to come in the evening!
