Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 263: Chapter 77: Jiang Qing: I Heard You’re Going to Become the Li Family’s Ideal Son-in-Law_2

”Naturally, I cannot; this is my silver Martial Path Will, which can only be used six times, and now the first time is given to Junior Brother Lin.”

Jiang Qing’s eyes were a bit wistful, and Lin Chen felt a bit awkward. Senior Sister Jiang’s words... were too easily misinterpreted, like what did she mean by saying the first time was given to him?

It’s just that people in this world are relatively simple-minded and don’t have many ”quick-witted people.”

”Generally speaking, under the Refining the Viscera, there are only three kinds. Just from the appearance, if it’s brass-colored, with your current strength, Junior Brother Lin, you should be able to handle it. If you encounter one like mine in silver, be a bit more careful. And if you encounter a gold one, run as far as you can.”

At the end, Jiang Qing’s expression turned serious: ”Those strong ones implant the Martial Path Will into the junior generation’s body. If an Upper Three Grades martial artist acts, the Martial Path Will they plant is marked by gold, and if touched by those below the grade, it means certain death.”

”Upper Three Grades?”

Lin Chen gave a wry smile: ”Senior Sister, you give me too much credit. Those children coming from such families, even without using Martial Path Will, I could never be a match for them.”

”Well, that’s not necessarily true.”

Jiang Qing pursed her lips. Although her own father wasn’t in the Upper Three Grades, he had the potential for it. Even so, she wasn’t a match for Junior Brother Lin, so those children coming from Upper Three Grades martial artist families may not necessarily be stronger than Junior Brother Lin.

But saying this might sound like bragging about her family, so Jiang Qing kept it to herself.

”Originally, I was worried that in the Special Training Ground duel in two months, that Huo Tong would cause you trouble. For this reason, I specially beat him up twice. Now it seems there’s no need to worry. If even I can beat up that Huo Tong, it would be even easier for Junior Brother Lin.”

Huo Tong?

Lin Chen thought for a moment: ”Is he from the Huo Family of Raozhou Prefecture?”

”Mm.”

”Thank you, Senior Sister, for venting on my behalf.”

Lin Chen smiled; he could imagine that with Senior Sister Jiang’s character, she never shows mercy to enemies. That Huo Tong must have been beaten terribly.

”By the way, Junior Brother Lin, do you have any connection with the Li Family?”

Jiang Qing suddenly thought of something, her Red Lip parting lightly as she casually asked.

”Is Senior Sister referring to the Li Family of Quzhou Prefecture? Junior Brother visited Quzhou Prefecture and met Elder Lord Li once.”

In front of Senior Sister Jiang, Lin Chen did not hide anything and told her about his acquaintance with Elder Lord Li, but he mentioned the scorn of the Li Family’s eldest daughter towards him in a lighthearted manner.

”I see. I thought Junior Brother Lin had been favored by the Li Family’s young lady and was to become the Li Family’s future ideal son-in-law.”

Jiang Qing’s voice unintentionally raised a few notches, and Lin Chen was taken aback: ”Why would Senior Sister think so?”

”That’s the rumor outside. It’s said Elder Lord Li went to the Military Affairs Hall to slam the table for you because he wanted you to become his granddaughter’s husband.”

Lin Chen’s mouth opened slightly. He didn’t expect such an absurd rumor would be out there, but on second thoughts, if he were an outsider unaware of the situation, he might think the same.

Otherwise, with no kinship between Li Family and himself, not even being a student of Quzhou Prefecture, why would Elder Lord Li go to the Military Affairs Hall to slam tables and throw cups for him?

It can only be said that sometimes reasonable imagination is one of the reasons rumors can be believed.

”Alright, I’ve said what needs to be said, and I must leave now. When the duel at the Special Training Ground comes, Junior Brother Lin, please show some mercy.”

Jiang Qing winked at Lin Chen, her long eyelashes carrying a playful charm that made one want to reach out and flick them, and Lin Chen couldn’t help it. However, he realized it just as he raised his hand and quickly pretended to rub his own eyes.

”I’ll see you off, Senior Sister.”

”No need.”

Jiang Qing seemed to have sensed something as well. Her pretty face rarely flushed with a touch of red, and with a hint of panic, she avoided Lin Chen’s gaze, lowered her head, turned around, and left.

Watching Senior Sister Jiang’s graceful silhouette disappear, Lin Chen turned to look at the misty lake in the distance.

The shyness of a girl lowering her head is more beautiful than all the world’s scenery.

Three days later.

[Difference of Five Acupoints, conditions met, obtain Qi Blood Melting Furnace reward.]

Four days later.

[Difference of Four Acupoints, conditions met, obtain Qi Blood Melting Furnace reward.]

Five days later.

[Difference of Three Acupoints, conditions met, obtain Qi Blood Melting Furnace reward.]

Six days later.

[Difference of Two Acupoints, conditions met, obtain Qi Blood Melting Furnace reward.]

Seven days later.

[Difference of One Acupoint, conditions met, obtain Qi Blood Melting Furnace reward.]

Eight days later.

Standing on the steps, Lin Chen faced a senior with the Opening Acupoints Realm of seventeen. After six hundred moments, he carelessly lost.

Ninth day.

Lin Chen challenged again, but this time he lost after seven hundred moments.

Tenth day, lost after a thousand moments.

Lin Chen did not continue challenging because he knew continuing like this, the result would still be the same, and he’d end up losing in one move anyway; it was just a matter of time.

In terms of attack, he was on par with this senior, but the difference was that this senior could endure and withstand more than him.

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm: Perfect Opening Acupoints Realm (17/24)]

[Qi Blood: 950000/3300000]

[True Blood: 673000]

Compared to ten days ago when Senior Sister Jiang came, his True Blood had nearly doubled.

Of course, this rapid growth is under the unlimited provision of abundant cultivation resources in the Special Training Ground.

Every time he went to the Treasure Vault, he could feel Lord Yang’s gaze on him changing from amazement to numbness.

Although the Qi Blood growth results in increased strength, similarly, he’s getting closer to opening the next acupoint.

Once he breaks through to Opening Acupoints Realm nineteen, he would need to change seniors as his opponent again.

In this way, he’s afraid he would never have the chance to leave a name on Martial Arts Mountain, or only when he reaches acupoint twenty-four would there be a single chance.
