Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 366 - 116: Qi Blood Rises Again, Power Soars
This kind of martial arts talent, he’s seeing it for the first time.
Ah, if Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall had paid a bit more attention to Lin Chen back then, how would they have become the laughingstock of the Eight Great Martial Arts Halls now?
"I must also thank the Hall Master for finding several senior brothers to guide me," Lin Chen said gratefully.
"You are a disciple of our Gale Martial Arts Hall. Guiding you in cultivation techniques is my duty,"
Zhao Qifeng chuckled, "In the future, come back to the hall when you have time. Many of the students here admire you a lot."
"Yes, I will return when I have the time,"
Lin Chen agreed, seeing Hall Master Zhao’s smile, but he felt a bit guilty inside.
People in this world don’t realize that saying "come back when you have time" often means you won’t come back much.
The importance of Jingshui Martial Arts Hall and Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall in his heart far outweighs Gale Martial Arts Hall. If he visits Gale Martial Arts Hall, he must also visit Jingshui and Mountain Suppressing, but he truly doesn’t have that much time now.
Maybe someday, when he indeed has free time, he’ll visit several martial arts halls in a circle.
Right now, more thought and effort must be placed on martial arts cultivation. Once the Viscera Refinement is complete, he will proceed to Canglan Martial Arts Academy. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Zhao Qifeng personally saw him off to the door, and Lin Chen saluted and left.
After walking out to the street corner where Gale Martial Arts Hall is located, Lin Chen pondered for a moment. Instead of heading toward the pier, he walked in another direction.
Martial Arts Garden.
The late-night Martial Arts Garden was bustling, yet the lanterns at the entrance were brightly lit, as if in daylight.
People were coming and going, all of them martial artists.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen was stunned; since when did the Martial Arts Garden become so lively at night too?
"Lin... Junior Brother Lin?"
A few disciples walking out of the Martial Arts Academy door saw Lin Chen, and all were stunned, but the next moment, they became excited.
"Greetings, senior brothers."
Lin Chen glanced at the clothes on them, confirming they were from Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, but since they looked unfamiliar, they ought to be senior brothers from Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall.
"Senior brothers, is there an event at the Martial Arts Garden?"
Usually, the Martial Arts Garden is quite still at night; Lin Chen has lived in the Martial Arts Garden for a while and understands it well.
"Event? No event?"
"No event, then why is it still so brightly lit?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the expressions of the senior brothers from Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall became peculiar, and one of them spoke, "The nightly bustle of the Martial Arts Garden is related to Junior Brother Lin."
"Related to me?"
Lin Chen was puzzled. How did this involve him?
"The county town spread rumors that Junior Brother Lin enjoys practicing and sparring with others at night, that you even practiced the Clear Wind Palm this way. Some people have circulated that practicing and sparring at night is more conducive to understanding and improving martial arts techniques..."
Saying this made the senior brother a bit awkward, admitting that they also came to the hall at night after hearing these rumors.
"Junior Brother Lin, are these rumors true?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen twitched at the corners of his mouth, "I do prefer practicing and sparring at night, but whether it’s more beneficial for understanding and improving martial arts techniques might depend on personal circumstances."
He sparred at night because he had the "All the Way Black" comprehension title, which heightened his understanding at night.
But it might not be the same for others.
"Senior brothers should consider their own situations; my cultivation method may not be suitable for everyone."
Lin Chen gently advised, realizing now the influence he had within Poyang County’s martial arts circle.
"Thank you for the warning, Junior Brother; we’ll be mindful,"
The senior brothers agreed quickly, but seeing their expressions, Lin Chen knew they were focused more on his first sentence, confirming that he indeed preferred evening training and sparring, while the latter half likely didn’t register with them.
This situation could only resolve itself with time, when they notice there wasn’t any progress in martial arts techniques compared to evening practice, leading them to give up.
After a few words, Lin Chen stepped into the Martial Arts Garden.
"Young Master Lin?"
The maid in the garden was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Chen appear, her waist swayed delicately as she gracefully moved before Lin Chen.
"Is Senior Yan here?"
"Steward Yan is here; I’ll first bring Young Master Lin to the courtyard to rest, then notify Steward Yan,"
The maid led the way, her graceful figure unfolding before Lin Chen’s eyes, her slender waist like a fresh willow swaying in the breeze, occasionally trembling subtly, revealing a hint of rounded allure.
As a maid of the Martial Arts Garden, she has a high standard, usually indifferent to ordinary martial artists who have only Opened the Acupoints, but Young Master Lin is different; he has a promising future. If he were to take notice of her, even serving as his personal maid in the future would be wonderful.
Unfortunately, Lin Chen didn’t even notice the maid’s little thoughts, as he was pondering how much his strength would increase with the enhancement of his Qi Blood limit.
The constant sway that drew attention didn’t even exist in Lin Chen’s eyes.
"Young Master Lin, we’ve arrived,"
The maid turned back with a trace of resentment in her eyes, as Young Master Lin hadn’t glanced her way once.
Women are sensitive to men’s gazes, especially those from martial artists. She could always sense when someone was staring.
"Thank you,"
Lin Chen spoke politely, and seeing he had nothing more to say, the maid replied reluctantly, "I will now notify Steward Yan,"
A short while later.
The sound of footsteps came from the courtyard gate. Listening to the rhythm, Lin Chen’s face showed surprise; it wasn’t just Senior Yan?
