Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 254: Chapter 74: Perfect-Grade Opening the Acupoints

After hearing Li Zhe’s words, the eyes of the two women sparkled with admiration. Such a Senior Brother Li was truly worthy of their respect. What was Lin Chen compared to him?

”I heard that this time the Li Family from Quzhou Prefecture even got into a dispute with the Military Affairs Hall because of Lin Chen. I really don’t understand how Lin Chen got involved with the Li Family.”

”Junior Sister, you’re not aware of this,” the man in fine clothes smiled slightly. ”The Li Family of Quzhou has already declined. Elder Lord Li is probably trying to find a husband for his granddaughter to come and live with the family, and maybe they’ve taken a liking to Lin Chen. After all, Raozhou Prefecture and Quzhou Prefecture are neighboring.”

”Indeed, I also heard the elders in my family mention that the Li Family from Quzhou might have taken a liking to Lin Chen, which is why they’re standing up for him.”

”Hmph, if that’s the case, then it makes sense. Some poor boy from a fisherman’s background, although his identity is true, I’m afraid the Li Family has been secretly providing cultivation resources to Lin Chen for a while. Who knew that the eldest daughter of the Li Family would like someone who goes fishing...”

”We should avoid gossiping behind people’s backs. As martial artists, we must be upright and only those who are upright can go far on the Martial Path. Those who engage in intrigue and petty schemes will eventually be on the wrong path.”

Li Zhe interrupted the three people’s discussion. Seeing their admiring eyes, a touch of pride flashed in his own.

Xing Huaifeng’s mishandling caused the Li Family and his reputation to be affected, but with his proposal to suppress his realm for a match, they managed to turn things around.

Lin Chen proposed an all-out match, thinking that if he couldn’t become the Jiangnan Dao Student Model, he wouldn’t let Li Zhe get it either.

But he underestimated him.

Although the three had already entered the Refining Viscera Realm, their strength was not remarkable. As long as he stepped into the Refining Viscera Realm, defeating those three wouldn’t be a tough task.

Moreover, there were also the opponents arranged by the Military Affairs Hall for those three. It’s uncertain whether they could even defeat the opponents arranged by the Military Affairs Hall.

Lin Chen’s actions could only result in shooting himself in the foot.

He glanced at the two Junior Sisters beside him. In terms of family background, these two Junior Sisters were not inferior to the Huo Family. Since the Huo Family couldn’t even handle this matter well, he could reconsider his marriage with Huo Shu.

...

Special Training Ground.

Lin Chen stood a hundred steps away. Under the eaves of a bamboo house, water droplets fell, and several copper basins were placed below.

As a water droplet fell, Lin Chen drew his bow, notched an arrow, and completed the action in one swift motion.

Whoosh!

A flash of light shot out, streaking under the eaves. At the moment the arrow was released, Lin Chen’s figure leaped forward, sprinting towards the area beneath the eaves.

The water surface of the copper basin directly below did not ripple at all.

Lin Chen had a faint smile at the corners of his mouth. However, seeing that only three out of six copper basins had ripples on their surface, with the other three remaining still, he frowned.

The second stage of the Accuracy Rune Technique of the Fear of Death Arrow required the archer to shoot water from a hundred steps, with the arrow splitting a water droplet into six parts.

This not only required accuracy but also an extremely subtle level of observation to achieve.

The Steadiness part was easy to practice; the Accuracy part was difficult.

Lin Chen sighed, remarking that while the trajectory of falling water droplets could be foretold, the stages set by that predecessor for the Accuracy Rune were, first, to discern position by sound, practicing archery at night to reach the realm of [Blind Bow Shooting].

This stage was not difficult for Lin Chen, as his five senses were far superior to those of ordinary martial artists, but the second stage, ”Water Drop Observation,” tested the micro-level control of accuracy.

He was currently stuck on this second stage.

For four consecutive days, he had only been able to hit the water droplet but could not control its division into six parts.

”It’ll take three months to accomplish this step.”

Even with the predecessor’s Accuracy Rune Technique, breaking through this stage was still challenging.

Just as Lin Chen was about to continue trying, his hand paused when reaching for the arrows, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the spontaneously appearing panel.

After four days, the panel was finally updated.

He wondered what kind of surprise the panel would present him with this time, given how long it took to update.

[Detected that the host’s training system triggered the perfect level, now opening perfect level guide panel]

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm: Perfect Opening Acupoints Realm (1/24): (70/400)]

[Realm: Limit Opening Realm (15/24): (70/400)] (Convertible)

[Please supplement Qi Blood, please supplement Qi Blood...]

Lin Chen focused on the (Convertible) notation, and a prompt appeared on the panel.

Prepare enough cultivation resources?

Staring at this line of text, Lin Chen pondered for a moment, understanding the meaning of the panel’s prompt.

The Perfect Opening Acupoints Realm would undoubtedly be harder and even more powerful than the Limit Opening Realm. Since it is more powerful, it naturally requires more Qi Blood.

His 15 locations of Qi Blood in the Limit Opening Realm were likely insufficient to convert to 15 locations in the Perfect Level of the Opening Realm; more Qi Blood needed to be supplemented.

”Luckily, I am in the Special Training Ground; otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to convert easily.”

Without hesitation, Lin Chen put away the Snake Shadow Bow and walked towards the bamboo forest.

...

...

”Herbs, Demon Flesh?”

Min Huanbo was a bit surprised to hear Lin Chen’s request. The Special Training Ground provided ample daily herbal liquid and demon flesh for the students, so Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t be lacking.

”The disciple wants more.”

Min Huanbo pondered for a moment, being aware of the Jiangnan Dao Student Model incident, and advised, ”Indeed, the Special Training Ground is not lacking in resources, but the resources each martial artist can absorb are limited. If the body can’t refine the energy from herbs and demon flesh, excessive accumulation in the body might block the meridians and acupoints, increasing the difficulty of subsequent openings.”

To Min Huanbo, he was not stingy with resources, as they were provided by the Military Affairs Hall and not personally his.

He was worried that Lin Chen had been stirred by the Jiangnan Dao Student Model contention and was desperately trying to improve his strength. But as the saying goes in martial arts cultivation, haste makes waste.
