Martial World's
Chapter 53 - Provocation
Although the Lin Family had a very rich heritage, if a family wanted long-term development, they would have to concentrate their financial resources. The family business can only be passed on to direct descendants, otherwise the business will become more and more generations fragmented and in a few generations, more or less, the family will only exist in name.
Lin Ming was born into a branch family, and he was also separated by several generations, it was impossible for his family to be given a business; they could only be in charge of management. Ever since he was born, Lin Ming had never had much contact with the direct descendant juniors of the Lin Family, so he did not recognize this pair of brothers at all.
Lin Wu said, “We only found out a few days ago that the number one spot in the Martial House entrance examination was the junior of the Lin Family, it really gave us a big surprise for juniors. And the rarest, you come from a branch family. You managed to achieve this success without the resources and support of the main family; it really put me to shame and shame.
Lin Fengyuan also interjected, he said, “Young Spice, the news that you managed to get the first place result in the exam has been passed on to the family; it even made the head of the household worry! This is an incredible achievement! The head of the household had visited the Young Cousin's parents and presented the restaurant to the Young Cousin's parents. He thanked the two elders for bringing up the outstanding talent in the Lin Family. When Young Cousin returns, the Lin Family will go high and low to give you the most welcoming dinner for your reception.
After hearing the words of these two brothers, Lin Ming fell silent. He did not expect that such a chain of events had occurred. Regarding the Lin Family, he had never felt much connection or sense of belonging with them, and for the welcoming reception, he was not too interested.
However, what Lin Ming also knew, was that this was his parents' most beautiful dream and hope that he would gain glory. For parents, who would not want their child to enjoy the world and come home with wealth and honor?
In addition, his parents had a very strong sense of tradition, and forever hoped to bring honor to their ancestors and provide an umbrella for their descendants. The honor of being the first place candidate in the Seven Profound Martial House was an honor that would grant the Lin Family bragging rights for generations. The total population of Sky Fortune Kingdom was between 70 to 80 million. Being the first place candidate in the Seven Profound Martial House was the same as being at the forefront of all these people. Even setting a warning for this opportunity would not be an exaggeration.
Aware of this, Lin Ming felt a deep sense of satisfaction. All children naturally want to make their parents happy.
Lin Ming smiled and said, “When I first came to the Seven Profound Martial House, I was unfamiliar with the people here and the place here. It is my luck to be able to meet my family's older brothers and sisters. Oldest Brother is very good. Please take care of me in the future. ”
"Ha huh! Young Cousin is too polite. If you have trouble in the future, just open your mouth and say. Although my own strength is limited and weak, the family can still bring some resources to Sky Fortune City.
"Thank you."
The two boys exchanged contact information for the Sound Transmitting Talisman. After that, the class became quiet. A voice said, "Older professors have arrived."
Lin Ming looked up and saw an old man wearing a white robe walking into the Martial Lecture Hall. He grasped an old tome in his hand as he headed onto the stage. His true essence fluctuations were weaker when compared to Muyi, he was probably at the Pulse Condensation Period.
In Green Mulberry City, Pulse Condensation Period martial artists were quite rare. But after entering the Seven Profound Marriage House, he had seen Pulse Condensation Period experts everywhere. It seemed that all the instructors and professors were at least at the Pulse Condensation Period.
The old man put his old book on a long and narrow table and slowly said, “From today, I am responsible for teaching you all. It will include body techniques, sword techniques, attacking skills, defensive skills, escape skills, and the most basic true essence and martial arts skills. If there are no further questions, we will start.”
The old man had a very concise opening, and he began to study the topic he was teaching. He spoke with a lot of knowledge about simple movement abilities and was able to summarize many useful skills, such as how to save or recover strength, when to avoid attacks or how to avoid. For example, how to turn over by force while on the air, or counterattack when pressed by an opponent.
This skill was not present in the skill manual, but by utilizing it, a martial artist would greatly increase their combat prowess. This is the difference between experienced veterans and beginners. Of course, one had to actually engage in battle to realize the true art and use of this skill.
The old man talked about these subjects for an hour, tidied up his desk and said, “Class ends here today. All new students can stay and receive your true essence stones. ”
"True essence stones?" Lin Ming was surprised. He had heard some things about this true essence stone. They naturally contained true essence and had many uses such as activating magic arrays.
Lin Wu said, “Young Cow, this true essence stone is a very good source. It has true essence contained within it, it can be used to accelerate one's cultivation, and it is also very pure, making it easy to refine.”
"Young Cousin, since you are a first place candidate, you can receive 10 true essence stones." Lin Fengyuan also echoed, and in his voice there was a tinge of envy.
"Oh? Is that true essence stone valuable? ”
“Mm. The truth was that the Sky Fortune Kingdom also had many true essence stones to mine, but they had to turn them into the Seven Profound Valleys. The great sects had many true essence stones, but only a few of them flowed into the general public. There are very few true essence stones that you can buy in the Sky Fortune Kingdom. ”
In the entire area of around hundreds of thousands of miles, the Royal Family had to submit to the authority of the Seven Profound Valleys. The power decides everything; this is not surprising.
“Sepupu Young fast and go. Later you will be able to rank in Stone Rankings and may even receive more each month.”
Ling Ming walked over and received his 10 true essence stones. True essence stones looked as if they had as much impurities as natural quartz, and were not transparent at all.
After Lin Ming, Wang Yanfeng also received his true essence stones, but he only received five of them. The following Earth Hall disciples only received two. As for the Human Hall, they received one. Moreover, they were told that if they were unable to enter the Earth Hall in the future, they would not receive any more.
Lin Wu said, "Young cousin, we rarely meet, will you drink a cup or two with me?"
Lin Ming hesitated a little, and then apologized, “I am very sorry but I want to increase my strength as much as possible before the Stone Ranking test begins. As for drinking, I will invite Brother and Elder Brother in another day. ” The inscription technique exercise takes a lot of time. In addition to martial arts training and attending classes, Lin Ming had some things he had to do at the same time, and also needed to practice his breath control during his sleep.
“Haha, Young Cousin is really diligent in his cultivation. No wonder you have such high achievements at such a young age. Good, then we'll get together again another day. ”
Lin Ming bid farewell to Lin Wu and his sister. After the lecture, he left the Martial Arts Lecture Hall alone and arrived at a crossroads. There he found Wang Yanfeng and two similar-looking men standing together. Wang Yanfeng frowned; obviously his relationship with the two was not good at all.
"Hi! Isn't this the outstanding genius of the Wang Family, Wang Yanfeng? Haha, unfortunately, the first champion of the elite tournament of Yuelu City, the master of the 'Nine Paths of Truth'. Hehe, I think you are extremely outstanding and great, but you lost to a boy in the Second Stage of Body Transformation. It really made us the youth of Yuelu City lose face.” A young man said cynically. His age looked to be 18-19, and he was at the peak of the Third Stage of Body Transformation. He held a long sword in his hand and had an extremely haughty appearance.
Wang Yanfeng's skin immediately sank, “Liu Mingxian, you are just a cheap child of the Liu Family, yet you also rambled in front of me! You took so many precious medicines yet you couldn't even enter the top ten of the entrance examination! Even a pig raised by your Liu Family would be better compared to you!
"Hi! You're saying that I'm a pig? Very good, then how about we compare? Let's see if you can step on me under your feet. ” Liu Mingxiang said with disdain, a playful smile hanging on his face.
Wang Yanfeng stopped talking and clenched his first hand. The other was a man who was at the peak of the Third Stage Body Training, and had also studied at the Seven Profound Martial House for two years. Compared to him, he would most likely not be able to defeat him.
But this is how it is. Wang Yanfeng did not want to retreat, he knew that if he did not accept this challenge today, then this Liu Mingxiang would spread this news in all directions and say he was as shy as a rat. “'Nine Paths of Truth' is famous everywhere. Liu Mingxiang, you really don't know what it is! Your talent is inferior to mine so you want to use your age to defeat me? An 18 year old against a 15 year old? Goody! Very nice!"
“Really half joke! If you were killed on the battlefield, would you also complain that the person who killed you was older? Cut the chat, do you dare to challenge me? ”
"Why don't I dare!" Wang Yanfeng coldly snorted. Even though he knew that this person caused trouble and encouraged him, with his arrogant disposition, he still accepted the challenge. If he retreated then his spirit would be defeated, and it would break the heart of martial arts.
"good. Then we will duel according to the rules of the Martial House. Since we are fighting, then we should also make small gambling bets. You just received 5 true essence stones? Use them as your gambling bets. ”
Gambling bets!
Wang Yanfeng clenched his teeth. He was not stupid, he immediately understood that Liu Mingxiang came today to deliberately provoke him to these 5 true essence stones!
This is a good planned plan!
But even if he knew this, Wang Yanfeng could not retreat. He was able to lose 5 essence stones, and he might not even lose!
"If you want to bet, let's bet!"
Lin Ming watched the scene from a distance and simply shook his head. The other party had clearly understood the weakness of Wang Yanfeng's character, and had provoked him with his loud mouth. If Wang Yanfeng was shy and retreated, then his losses would be even greater. If he avoided the fight and swallowed the humiliation, this would be a dark day to cultivate his martial arts!
Cultivating martial arts not only involved Body Transformation, but also mind cultivation. Cultivating the mind involves being faithful to your nature and living life freely. If one only continued to endure humiliation for the sake of humiliation, then their cultivation would stop.
Perhaps Wang Yanfeng would lose. Both of them were experts at the peak of the Third Stage of Body Transformation and had trained in the Seven Profound Martial House for a long period of time. Their battle prowess might be comparable to that of a martial artist at the Fourth Stage of Body Transformation. With this strength, even Lin Ming did not have the slightest bit of confidence.
“Liu Mingxiang is too rampant and arrogant, but he is indeed an expert. And the young man standing nearby was even more unfathomable. With just these two random people, I have no chance of winning. The Seven Profound Martial Houses were truly crouching tigers, hidden dragons. ” Lin Ming thought that this was also normal. Everyone who entered the Seven Profound Martial House was a talent. They were the older geniuses, and had also enjoyed the many resources of the Martial House. They trained for so long, if they were unable to defeat the new disciple, then they were completely wasting their efforts.
This was irrelevant to Lin Ming. He turned to leave and had just taken a few steps when a voice sounded from behind. He stopped in his tracks. "Yes! Isn't that the candidate of the first place examination? Lin Ming's! What a lucky meeting, a really lucky meeting.”
Although his words were pleasant, the provocative meaning behind them was too obvious. Lin Ming frowned. He turned his head to see that the man speaking was another young man who had stood beside Liu Mingxiang and Wang Yanfeng, a young man with immeasurable strength.
