Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 128: Chapter 24: Those Who Humiliate Others Will Be Humiliated in Turn (2)

The claws passed through the air, making a whistling noise as they tore through the air.

At the realm of Eleven Acupoints, combined with the Small Success of the Flying Eagle Claw, its power was intimidating.

Lin Chen’s figure retreated, avoiding Wu Ming’s descending claws, but the wind from Wu Ming’s claws still tore his clothes.

”Won’t you face me head-on? Where’s your Perfection-level Clear Wind Palm?”

Seeing Lin Chen choose to retreat, Wu Ming sneered repeatedly and advanced once more.

This time, Lin Chen did not retreat again. He had initially chosen to retreat because he was unsure of how strong the Flying Eagle Claw technique was, but now he had a better understanding.

”As you wish!”

This time, Lin Chen struck out with his Clear Wind Palm, and seeing this, Wu Ming was delighted. His claws resembled those of an eagle, with his fingers curving again, and a red glow surged from his fingertips.

Pa!

At the moment of the palm and claw collision, all the students present focused intently.

Whoa!

The next moment, an uproar erupted from the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall’s side.

”This is impossible!”

Zhu Tao’s mouth was slightly agape, unable to believe his eyes.

In contrast, after a brief shock, the students from all major martial arts halls in Poyang County erupted in thunderous cheers.

Bang!

On the stage.

A loud bang rang out as Lin Chen’s palm and Wu Ming’s claws collided heavily, leaving Lin Chen standing motionless while Wu Ming staggered back several steps.

Looking down at the blood dripping from his fingertips, Wu Ming’s eyes lost their previous pride, replaced by confusion.

Only he alone knew what he had just encountered.

At the moment when his claws were about to collide with Lin Chen’s palm, he felt a terrifying astral wind, like a wind blade, slicing towards his fingertips.

If he hadn’t retreated quickly, his fingers might have been completely severed by this terrifying astral wind.

”How... how is this possible?”

Shao Hong’s eyes widened like copper bells, his jealousy of Lin Chen replaced by shock.

Lin Chen had only opened nine acupoints, how could he defeat Wu Ming?

The advantage of a Perfection-level Clear Wind Palm diminishes over time because everyone’s cultivation technique proficiency improves. Moreover, the gap widens with each additional acupoint opened.

”I already knew that when Senior Brother Lin said ’his strength is no less than mine,’ it explained everything.”

On site, the only ones not shocked were Cheng Ying, Zhao Jingchuan, and Lu Yongfeng.

Nearby, Fu Ang murmured to himself, ”Senior Brother Lin, was that sincere tone fake?”

He didn’t want to believe it, but the facts on stage left him no choice.

On the stage.

”Is that all your skills?”

Lin Chen’s light words echoed, and Wu Ming looked up in surprise, only to see a palm strike landing on his chest like a horn hung on a mountain.

Puff!

The terrifying palm force caused Wu Ming to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his expression instantly turning pale.

However, Lin Chen did not stop there. He followed with another palm strike on Wu Ming’s shoulder, and everyone present heard the crisp sound of bones breaking.

”Stop!”

Zhu Tao shouted angrily from below the stage, but this time it was Fei Hong’s turn to retort.

”On the stage, if one party doesn’t concede, the match isn’t over.”

”Senior Brother Wu already conceded!”

Zhu Tao was anxious, but it wasn’t that Senior Brother Wu didn’t want to concede, it was Lin Chen being too ruthless. Whenever Senior Brother Wu was about to speak, Lin Chen would strike his chest with a palm again.

As soon as Senior Brother Wu opened his mouth, blood gushed out, leaving him unable to speak.

One palm, two palms, three palms!

Three consecutive palms landed on Wu Ming’s shoulders and back before Lin Chen finally stopped.

He did it deliberately, not giving Wu Ming a chance to speak.

Only when Wu Ming collapsed to the ground like a soft mud did Lin Chen stop.

The disciples of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall wore expressions of rage, yet when Lin Chen’s gaze swept over, they dared not meet his eyes.

”For the competition between the two counties, Yanshan County’s martial arts hall students came to the Martial Arts Garden in Poyang County for sparring. We welcome you, but if you have other intentions, remember this: those who insult others will also be insulted.”

As he finished speaking, Lin Chen walked off the stage, with the onlooking students hurriedly making way for him.

At this moment, in their eyes, Senior Brother Lin was no longer just the senior brother of this generation from Jingshui Martial Arts Hall but the senior brother of the current generation of the Eight Great Martial Arts Halls in Poyang County.

For many years, the Eight Great Martial Arts Halls competed fiercely. Regardless of which hall produced a genius student, no matter how strong they were, the other hall’s students would never acknowledge them.

But today, these students were won over by Lin Chen.

Not just because of Lin Chen’s strength, but also because of what he said.

”Let’s go.”

Lin Chen returned to his previous position, called out, and Lu Yongfeng and the other three immediately followed. Fu Ang hesitated for a moment but decided to leave with them.

The most exciting duel had ended, and staying longer no longer held any meaning.

”Let’s go too.”

Qi Fei watched Lin Chen’s group leave and spoke to Fei Hong and Gu Shan.

Fei Hong shook his head. Senior Brother Lin had helped him out of a bind, and he owed him a favor he needed to repay.

”Zhu Tao, I’m curious... our Poyang County martial arts halls never bore any grudges with your Yanshan County halls. Even if there was a county competition this year, it was arranged by the Martial Affairs Office. Why did you have to go so far?”

Fei Hong’s sudden question brought the martial arts students who were about to leave to a halt, making them realize something.

They had only thought the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall’s people were too arrogant before, but thinking carefully now, there didn’t seem to be any deep-seated enmity between the sides. Even as competitors, there seemed to be no need to act so ruthlessly.

Standing nearby, Shao Hong’s face changed instantly upon hearing Fei Hong’s question.
