Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 165 - 43: Su Lingchuan: You Just Take Action, I’ll Debate the Rules for You
A two-hour later!
Lian Yu and four others appeared at the corner of the street where the Military Affairs Department was located.
"As expected of the famous restaurant in the Prefecture City, thanks to Senior Brother Lian today, we got to taste the delicious dishes of Taste of Freshness."
"After today’s meal, I’m afraid other dishes will be tasteless for the next few days."
The students from Yongfeng County surrounded Lian Yu with admiration.
There was forty percent truth and sixty percent falsehood in their words.
Only because the Lian Family is a prominent family in Yongfeng County.
At its most flourishing time, the Lian Family produced a Seventh-Grade Martial Arts Powerhouse, and even now, with some decline, there are still Eighth-Grade Martial Artists in the family.
However, the flattery ended abruptly when they saw a few figures standing in front of them.
"Lin... Lin Chen!"
A student from Yongfeng County stammered. No matter how much they praised Lian Yu and the Lian Family in the restaurant just now, and belittled Lin Chen,
deep down, these students still feared Lin Chen.
One person making an entire county’s students admit defeat was something that had never happened before in Raozhou Prefecture.
The fight between Lin Chen and the students from Yanshan County, though interrupted midway, was well-known; even Shen Ge couldn’t break Lin Chen’s defense, so it was impossible for the other students from Yanshan County either.
The Military Affairs Department declared Lin Chen the winner, merely to give Yanshan County a little face.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, the students from Yongfeng County sobered up instantly, especially when they saw the three villagers standing behind Lin Chen, they understood the situation immediately.
The group all looked toward Lian Yu, whose eyes also flashed with annoyance. He hadn’t expected that his minor prank on the villagers from Linhu Village would be discovered by Lin Chen.
"Why is Senior Brother Lin blocking the way?" Lian Yu looked at Lin Chen, coldly questioning.
Lin Chen remained silent, just staring at Lian Yu, his eyes so cold that the students from Yongfeng County couldn’t help but step back a few steps.
Lian Yu did the same, and after stepping back, he realized what had happened, feeling even angrier. As a dignified member of the Lian Family, he was frightened by Lin Chen, who came from a humble background, simply by his gaze; it was utterly humiliating.
A student tried to bypass Lin Chen, but Lin Chen did not stop him.
"Could it be that what I said to these villagers offended Senior Brother Lin?" Lian Yu, trying to maintain his composure, explained, "I was just joking with them. Anyway, when Senior Brother Lin returns, Linhu Village will naturally know the truth. From disappointment to surprise, wouldn’t such emotional fluctuations be even more wonderful?"
Seeing Lin Chen still silent, Lian Yu half-heartedly bowed, "It seems Senior Brother Lin is not one for jokes. In that case, I apologize to Senior Brother."
With those words, before Lin Chen could respond, Lian Yu headed toward the gates of the Military Affairs Department.
He had already apologized, what more could they want?
But just as he took a step, Lin Chen blocked his path again.
"What, Senior Brother Lin still wants to stop me? You wouldn’t want to make a move on me here, would you? This is the Military Affairs Department; their rules prohibit students from fighting privately!"
Lian Yu spoke defiantly, even hoping Lin Chen would make a move. If Lin Chen dared to, the Military Affairs Department would definitely impose heavy punishment, and not even Poyang County could save Lin Chen.
Seeing Lian Yu’s provocative look, Lin Chen sighed. These aristocratic children had no idea how much damage a simple joke could inflict on others.
"If you can take one of my palms, the matter will be settled!"
Lin Chen struck with a palm, and Lian Yu’s face changed. Although he wished for Lin Chen to make a move, he didn’t really want to get hurt, so he instinctively tried to retreat.
Knowing Lin Chen’s strength, Lian Yu understood he was no match for him.
However fast he retreated, Lin Chen’s palm was faster.
Almost as Lian Yu was retreating, unsteady on his feet, the Clear Wind Palm landed on his shoulder like a shadow.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bone breaking echoed on scene, and Lian Yu’s shoulder collapsed, his expression twisted with pain.
"Break one of your bones as a lesson!"
Without even glancing at Lian Yu, Lin Chen turned to leave.
But just as he turned, a figure emerged from the gate of the Military Affairs Department.
"Lin Chen, you dare hurt my cousin!"
Lian Cheng saw his cousin clutching his shoulder in pain and flared up, his figure surged with anger, causing the flagstones beneath his feet to crack.
Using the momentum underfoot, he instantly charged forward, his muscular arms like roots of an old tree, his fists burdened with the sound of splitting stones aimed straight at Lin Chen’s chest.
The Mountain Shaking Fist, its power swift and fierce!
Lin Chen remained unmoved, striking out with a palm in response.
Their palms clashed, and Lian Cheng twisted in mid-air before landing on the ground. Though Lin Chen didn’t move, the flagstones under his feet split into several pieces.
Such power!
This Lian Cheng also has Fifteen Acupoints, the same realm as Shen Ge, yet his palm’s power is a bit stronger than Shen Ge’s Cloud Burning Palm.
"Lin Chen, do you really think that just because you defeated Yanshan County alone, you’re invincible in the Prefecture City and look down on everyone else?"
Lian Cheng’s face darkened when his attack failed to push back Lin Chen. He used the Mountain Shaking Palm again.
"Looking down on everyone?" Lin Chen snorted lightly, "You really like labeling people."
With that, Lin Chen also closed in, his hands like a clear wind, every palm strike accompanied by the sound of howling wind.
At the gate of the Military Affairs Department, the soldiers guarding the door noticed the commotion, but seeing it was Lin Chen and Lian Cheng exchanging blows, they remained silent.
Before the chancellor’s door stands a Third-Grade official, but that depends on whom they’re facing.
