Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 350 - 111: Jiangnan Dao Demands an Explanation
The atmosphere was silent for a long time.
Ye Feng was very certain that this time, the one who would leave a name on Martial Arts Mountain was definitely Lin Chen!
Besides this guy, no one else could do it!
Although breaking through an acupoint in such a short time seems incredible, it is not something unheard of.
Compared to leaving a name on Martial Arts Mountain four times consecutively, breaking through an acupoint in such a short time is nothing significant.
In the martial arts history of Liang, many martial artists have made rapid breakthroughs in realms due to various opportunities. Although it’s uncommon, there are several instances every year across Liang.
Lucky ones, on the vast base of martial artists, are actually not few.
But leaving a name on Martial Arts Mountain is not something that can be done through luck; it requires solid strength.
"It might not necessarily be Lin Chen. Moreover, even if it is Lin Chen, I might not be his inferior."
Shen Ze, whose steps had stalled, finally continued moving, comforting himself in his heart that he had been cultivating at the twenty-first acupoint for so long, while Lin Chen should have just broken through to the twenty-first acupoint.
This battle still had its advantages for himself!
"I’m going!"
Shen Ze stepped onto Martial Arts Mountain. For some reason, as everyone watched Shen Ze’s back, there was a sense of solemnity, as if he was ascending not Martial Arts Mountain but a guillotine.
Only Yue Lingxu, at this moment, looked at Shen Ze with eyes full of expectations rather than ridicule.
Among all present, only he was most eager for Shen Ze to successfully challenge Lin Chen, because once Shen Ze defeated Lin Chen, it meant he would have the chance to defeat Shen Ze.
As for Lin Chen, he had only himself to blame for being too arrogant, challenging to leave a name on Martial Arts Mountain as soon as he broke through.
Once named, one cannot challenge again at the same realm.
Even if Lin Chen’s strength increased in a few days, he could not leave his name again at the twenty-first acupoint.
There’s no more chance at all.
Seeing Shen Ze flying down from Martial Arts Mountain, the hopeful light in Yue Lingxu’s eyes dimmed instantly.
In just three breaths, Shen Ze fell directly from Martial Arts Mountain, probably unable to withstand even one move from Lin Chen. He himself was slightly stronger than Shen Ze, but the outcome of challenging would be the same.
The other people present, except for Ye Feng, all had their mouths slightly open, full of disbelief.
They had thought it was Lin Chen who left a name on Martial Arts Mountain, and Shen Ze was likely facing Lin Chen, but they didn’t expect Shen Ze to lose so quickly.
Not even one move... not even one move could be received.
Is the gap really that big?
The only one not surprised, Ye Feng, seeing the few people’s mouths wide enough to fit an egg in, felt an immense sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Finally, it wasn’t just him alone defeated by Lin Chen. Shen Ze and Yue Lingxu also had no chance, and as for the remaining few...
The result is the same, all must die!
"Ahem!"
Shen Ze stood up from the ground, a look of palpitations on his face.
He ascended the steps of Martial Arts Mountain, saw Lin Chen, then his eyes were filled with palm shadows, and then he was sent flying.
"He... he is very strong."
A long time later, Shen Ze looked at the others and said, "If you still want to leave a name on Martial Arts Mountain, it’s best to act quickly. Once Lin Chen’s realm breaks through, there will be no more chances."
This statement was not to save face for himself, as everyone was in the Opening Acupoints Realm and knew each other well. He knew the strength of these people; facing Lin Chen, the result would be the same as his.
The expressions of the others also became serious, and they had already decided to challenge Martial Arts Mountain a few days later, adjusting their state to its peak in the meantime.
Leaving a name on Martial Arts Mountain is not just about gaining fame. More importantly, successfully leaving a name brings the rewards from Martial Arts Mountain.
The rewards are what they truly desire.
"What if we ask Lin Chen to negotiate, let him challenge a bit later?" a young man suddenly suggested.

[Four-Star Martial Arts Seal...]
...
Back to reality, Lin Chen’s expression remained calm. Now, leaving a name on Martial Arts Mountain couldn’t easily stir his emotions. Perhaps only at the twenty-fourth acupoint, encountering Senior Pei, could ignite his fighting spirit.
As for the twenty-second and twenty-third acupoints, once the realm is reached, they are matters of little effort.
Lin Chen didn’t even plan to notify his teacher and continued his cultivation.
What he lacked now was the Gale Leg; as soon as he cultivated the Gale Leg to perfection, his Qi Blood could increase slightly more. By the time he reached the twenty-fourth acupoint, his True Blood would reach an astounding five million.
...
...
A day later.
The entire populace of Poyang County suddenly found that overnight, the streets of the county town were spotlessly clean, and even the officials in the government office had replaced their uniforms with brand new ones.
The students of the Eight Great Martial Arts Halls had already been notified by the instructors to remain indoors training in the martial arts halls in the coming days. Anyone who disobeys would be expelled from the hall.
"It seems a significant figure is coming to Poyang County."
Smart individuals had already sensed something was amiss.
"Brother Li is right, I wondered why the Lord Governor of Raozhou Prefecture and the Director of the Military Affairs Department have visited Poyang County several times recently. Turns out, they’re making preparations for the coming of a significant figure."
"For the Prefecture Government Office to pay such attention, could it be someone of high status is arriving?"
"At least it must be someone in the top five of Jiangnan Dao."
The aristocrats of Poyang County had also been staying obediently at home these days, no longer visiting the brothels or opera houses. Although the laws of Liang didn’t prohibit the people from visiting such places, it wasn’t good for their reputation if spread.
