Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 201: Chapter 55: Damn, Lin Chen Got Taken Away! (Part 4)

This Senior Brother Xue must have shown promise to be allowed to stay.

...

...

Just as Xue Yun was bringing Lin Chen into the mouth of the valley, the figure of Zhao Cangsheng appeared.

”Senior Zhao.”

Xue Yun hurriedly saluted, Zhao Cangsheng, with his hands behind his back, stopped his steps: ”What is the matter?”

”Senior Zhao, this junior brother has your token.”

”He has my token, let the old man see it.”

Seeing the puzzled look in this Senior Zhao’s eyes, Lin Chen inwardly praised the man’s acting skills.

Truly an old actor.

If it weren’t for the fog where he received instructions from this senior, he might have doubted whether this senior was a twin, encountering the brother of the senior now.

”Disciple Lin Chen greets Senior Zhao, this is the token given to me by the Hall Master, instructing me to participate in special training and hand over the token to a senior.”

Zhao Cangsheng took the token Lin Chen handed over, a look of reminiscence in his old eyes, as if recalling something, his expression constantly changing.

Is Senior Zhao reminiscing about the past?

Xue Yun speculated inwardly, judging from this, the Hall Master and Senior Zhao must have a deep connection.

However, the Martial Arts Hall Master is usually under forty, while Senior Zhao is already well over seventy, such a big age difference, could it be...

Xue Yun imagined a family drama unfolding in his mind...

”Never mind, the old man promised the master of this token back in the day that whoever holds the token could have a wish granted upon seeing the old man. Speak, why did you seek me out with this token?”

The main event is here!

Lin Chen saluted, solemnly saying, ”Disciple wishes for senior’s guidance in martial arts cultivation.”

”No way.”

Zhao Cangsheng waved his hand: ”This is against the rules...”

But halfway through his words, Zhao Cangsheng seemed to sense something, altering his tone: ”But the old man is one to keep promises, very well, I will make an exception for you once!”

Swish!

Xue Yun only saw Senior Zhao raise his right hand, grab Lin Chen’s arm, and then both figures vanished into afterimages before his eyes.

Three breaths later!

”Xue Yun, where is Lin Chen?”

”Lin Chen was taken away by Senior Zhao.” Xue Yun quickly replied, looking at Ji Feng who emerged from the fog.

”We’re doomed!”

Upon hearing Xue Yun’s answer, Ji Feng turned pale: ”No, I still have one last chance.”

The next moment, Ji Feng reached into his garment again and pulled out a firework, perhaps thinking one wasn’t enough; he pulled out a second.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Two fireworks rose into the sky, bursting into brilliant flames visible throughout the valley.

”Lord Ji... has gone mad?”

Xue Yun watched Ji Feng’s actions, feeling that Lord Ji had lost his mind.

These fireworks are only meant to be lit after a student walks a thousand steps, yet there are no students in the Thousand-Step Mist now. When our instructors arrive shortly and find no students, Lord Ji will be in serious trouble.

Swish, swish, swish!

In just ten breaths’ time, six figures appeared on the scene.

”Ji Feng, what is going on?”

The six middle-aged men arrived full of anticipation; lighting up two fireworks at once in the Special Training Ground hadn’t happened in over a decade.

”Your lords, that... that Lin Chen was taken away by Senior Zhao.”

Lin Chen?

The six of them exchanged glances, finding the name somewhat unfamiliar.

”Is it the Lin Chen from Poyang County who mastered the Clear Wind Palm to perfection in just three months?” Finally, one remembered who Lin Chen was.

”Not only did he perfect Clear Wind Palm, but Lin Chen also perfected Water Cloud Palm, Iron Bone Skill, and walked thousands of steps in the Thousand-Step Mist while cultivating techniques.”

Facing the terrifying pressure from the six lords, Ji Feng shouted in one breath.

Xue Yun listened, his mouth slightly open. The Lin Chen mentioned by Lord Ji, was he the same Lin Chen recorded in his booklet?

Just as he was about to observe the reactions of his instructors, he lifted his eyes only to find they had all disappeared as well.
