Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 250 - 73: Li Zhe’s Scheme, Lin Chen’s Strategy

Chapter 250: Chapter 73: Li Zhe’s Scheme, Lin Chen’s Strategy

In the cesspool.

Lin Chen watched the changes on the panel, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Every change in the panel brings convenience to his martial arts cultivation.

Getting up and climbing out of the cesspool, Lin Chen walked towards the bamboo forest.

According to past patterns, updating the panel takes time, and the longer it takes, the larger the update’s scope.

He hopes that the panel could update for a whole day and night.

Returning to the bamboo forest, Lin Chen didn’t rush to sleep but instead began to feel the flow of Qi Blood in his acupoints.

The fifteenth acupoint, Dragon Spine, located on his back, was noticeably trembling within his muscles as he circulated his cultivation technique and the Qi Blood passed through the Dragon Spine acupoint.

True Blood Refining Acupoints not only can convert more Void Blood into True Blood, but this True Blood will also reside in the four small acupoints accompanying the main acupoint.

Looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, and the next moment his right foot kicked forward, his body arched like a reverse bow and crashed backward into the bamboo.

Like crumbling dry wood, a section of bamboo snapped from the middle.

"They say a woman’s waist is like a deadly knife, now my back is not just a back, it’s like a sharp blade."

He was very satisfied with this power!

The next day, early morning.

Lin Chen opened his eyes and called the panel immediately, only to find that the panel had not yet finished updating.

Not updated yet?

It seems this time the panel will have an exceptionally significant change.

This is a good thing!

Though the panel hadn’t shown, Lin Chen decided to go to Martial Arts Mountain to challenge the seniors.

Having reached the Fifteen Acupoints Realm, his strength had increased enough that he should be able to challenge the senior adept at Opening Nine Acupoints.

However, just as he reached the iron gate deep in the valley, he was stopped by Xue Yun.

"Junior Brother Lin, the instructors want to see you."

"Alright."

What Lin Chen did not expect was that it wasn’t the instructors who wanted to see him, but the Academic Platform Lord.

Just as Lin Chen was puzzled, Bu Wenbin said, "The Military Affairs Hall sent a letter yesterday, which concerns you. I decided to inform you personally."

Lin Chen quietly awaited the next words, with a guess in his heart.

"According to the decision of the Jiangnan Dao Martial Affairs Hall, Director Xing Huaifeng of the Raozhou Prefecture Military Affairs Department is deemed unworthy of his position due to misconduct, and thus is relieved of his position."

Xue Yun, who accompanied Lin Chen, showed a look of surprise upon hearing this. If he remembered correctly, this Junior Brother Lin was from Raozhou Prefecture, so is there a connection between Director Xing and Junior Brother Lin?

That can’t be right.

Even if this Director Xing is at fault, it shouldn’t implicate Junior Brother Lin, whose martial arts talent is not in question.

Why did the Academic Platform Lord want to inform Junior Brother Lin of this matter?

"Disciple understands."

Lin Chen wasn’t too surprised. As Hall Master Tai said, Elder Lord Li personally went to the Military Affairs Hall and smashed a cup concerning his affairs.

Coupled with the reminder from Senior Yan, the matter ended with Xing Huaifeng being relieved of his post as Director at Raozhou Prefecture’s Military Affairs Department.

As for where Xing Huaifeng would go after being dismissed, the Military Affairs Hall would not inform him.

Bu Wenbin, seeing Lin Chen’s lack of surprise, realized that someone had probably hinted this to Lin Chen.

As the Academic Platform for the Special Training Ground, after Jiang Kui returned, he reported to him about Lin Chen’s experiences on this trip home, disclosing the hidden matters regarding Lin Chen’s grandfather.

"Xue Yun, you may leave first."

"Yes."

Upon hearing these words from the Academic Platform Lord, Xue Yun understood that he must have private matters to discuss with Lin Chen.

"Follow me."

After Xue Yun left, Bu Wenbin glanced at Lin Chen, then turned and walked to the backyard of the deliberation hall.

In the backyard, an elderly man stood in the courtyard, his back facing the gate.

"Lord Director?"

Though it was just a silhouette, Lin Chen immediately recognized him as Lord Qiu.

"Lin Chen, isn’t it surprising to see me here?" Qiu Rufeng turned around to look at Lin Chen and asked with a smile.

"This disciple is indeed somewhat surprised."

Lin Chen nodded in acknowledgment. According to Lord Su, Lord Qiu had already gone to the Military Affairs Hall and wasn’t expected to show up at the Special Training Ground.

Did he come specifically for him?

"I think you might have guessed, I specifically came to the Special Training Ground for you, to inform you personally about some matters."

Qiu Rufeng seemed to know what Lin Chen was thinking and said in a deep voice, "Just yesterday, the Military Affairs Hall determined the method of selecting the Jiangnan Dao Academy Exemplary. Five of you will each be given a suitable opponent to compete against, the loser is eliminated, and if only one winner remains, they become the Exemplary. If there are two or more winners, the Military Affairs Hall will invite Martial Arts Hall Masters from various regions to vote for the final choice."

The so-called voting is essentially deciding by votes.

The officials of the Military Affairs Hall, including the Martial Arts Hall Masters from various regions, each get one vote, and the one with the most votes is selected as the Jiangnan Dao Academy Exemplary.

This method of selection is quite fair.

Defeating the opponent only proves one’s strength, as for any possible manipulation in the subsequent voting, Lin Chen doesn’t worry.

There has never been absolute fairness in this world, and for the Military Affairs Hall to consider this thoroughly is commendable.

Presumably, in the eyes of the Military Affairs Hall, the simplest way is for each student to have a match, with the winner becoming the Jiangnan Dao Academy Exemplary.

But his Realm lags the most, and such an arrangement is actually a form of care for him.

"Do you have any thoughts?"

Seeing Lin Chen’s calm expression, Qiu Rufeng was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but ask, wasn’t Lin Chen worried that the Li Family might manipulate the matchups?
