At the scene, at this mont, all eyes were gathered on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen could clearly feel the stares piercing his back, making it warm.
So people say that looks have no real lethality.
But ever since his Qi Blood reached 1500, Lin Chen found that his five senses had beco much keener. Just like now, even though he did not turn his head, he could clearly feel the many gazes behind him.
This was a very mysterious feeling.
As Lin Chen walked out of the queue, the eyes of the three instructors, Yu Yongnian among them, also fell on him.
At first, the three were not very attentive, but after a few monts, their eyes turned serious. They exchanged glances and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.
Strength is a manifestation of the abundance of Qi Blood.
The greater the strength, the more abundant the Qi Blood, and vice versa.
At this stage, students’ Qi Blood is still floating on the body surface, unable to be internalized. The three had taught so many students that they could determine the strength of others by closely observing their appearance.
This is the reason why Instructor Liu could easily see through Zheng Kai’s hidden strength earlier.
According to their careful observation, there was a high possibility that Lin Chen’s strength had reached four hundred pounds.
"Brother Yu, did you give him special training?" Instructor Liu asked curiously in a low voice.
"Sending him to work in the cafeteria, does that count as special training?" Yu Yongnian replied quietly, making Instructor Liu fall silent.
What kind of special training is this?
Instructor Liu and Instructor Chen exchanged glances, both concluding that Yu Yongnian must have secretly helped Lin Chen with extra training, even though Yu Yongnian wouldn’t admit it.
As for why Yu Yongnian took an interest in Lin Chen and even helped him, only Yu Yongnian knew.
"Disciple wishes to try the four hundred pounds stone block..."
Walking up to the stone block, Lin Chen looked at the three instructors and spoke seriously, which caused another uproar behind him.
Although when Lin Chen stepped forward, the students had already speculated, they still found it unbelievable.
What if... what if Lin Chen wanted to do sothing else?
Or maybe Lin Chen misheard, mistaking four hundred pounds for three hundred pounds.
Though the odds were small, could it be smaller than Lin Chen increasing his strength by two hundred pounds in three months?
"Begin." Instructor Liu nodded in agreent. If Yu Yongnian had helped, it wasn’t surprising that Lin Chen’s strength reached four hundred pounds.
Lin Chen grasped the stone, slowly exerting force.
"Oh, he really dared to go for it... Look... the stone... the stone block is off the ground... soon it will... he lifted it."
Grasping, lifting, to the abdon.
Lin Chen did it all in one go, without any hesitation or turning back.
As a result, many students’ comnts went through three tones.
Sarcasm, doubt, disbelief...
Not far away, Xu Botao and Cheng Ying’s mouths slightly opened, Yan Dexing’s eyes widened, Zhao Jingchuan was speechless, and Lu Yongfeng was expressionless.
"Brother Lu, he lifted it, your record has been tied!"
After a while, Yan Dexing suddenly shouted, while Lu Yongfeng rolled his eyes internally.
Don’t I have eyes, can’t I see?
Don’t I know the record has been tied?
When you shouted, everyone heard it; what’s the purpose?
Getting so worked up as if you were the one who tied the record.
Inside, Lu Yongfeng was very passionate, but his face remained expressionless.
At the scene, it wasn’t silent, but there was an indescribable atmosphere in the air.
"How did he do it!"
Finally, a student asked aloud, echoing the common thought in everyone’s hearts.
Three months ago, he was at the bottom, ridiculed as the most stingy in Martial Hall’s history. In a blink, his strength reached four hundred pounds, placing him in Martial Hall’s top ten.
Inexplicable Shock surged in the students’ hearts, and the first to shout was Gu Fei, raising his fist, his face flushing with excitent.
"Don’t underestimate the young! I knew you could do it, Chen!"
Gu Fei lived in the sa dormitory as Lin Chen, sotis listening to Lin Chen’s martial legends. Not knowing where Chen heard these stories from, but it felt great, especially when imagining himself as the protagonist.
There was one story he particularly liked, where the protagonist nad Xiaoyan had a morable line.
"Don’t underestimate the young!"
Chen’s current performance was a testant to that saying.
"That’s my brother!" Gu Fei shouted to a student behind him.
"Gu Fei, if you put it that way, Lin Chen is my butt buddy because I see Lin Chen’s butt every day, and I’ve noticed he’s changed these past months," a student behind him said with a mysterious air.
Another student nearby curiously asked, "Changed in what way?"
"Lin Chen’s farts don’t stink anymore; they’re full of the sweat and hard-working spirit, intoxicating and lovely to sniff."
Gu Fei: ...
Other students: ...
Ahead, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on Yu Yongnian’s face: "Not bad."
"Disciple is grateful for the instructor’s nurturing; without you, there wouldn’t be today."
"This is all your own effort, what has it to do with ."
Yu Yongnian rarely laughed out loud, and Instructor Liu and Instructor Chen exchanged another glance, thinking that both ntor and student were just putting on a show.
The relationship between Martial Hall instructors and students can’t be considered as ntor-disciple but rely a teaching term.
In their eyes, Yu Yongnian must have invested attention in Lin Chen. This special care is the true ntor-disciple relationship. In previous years, they also favored so students and privately provided care.
"Lin Chen, four hundred pounds."
Instructor Liu directly reported Lin Chen’s strength and then looked at the other students: "Is there any more who wants to try?"
With these words, a few students did co up, but unfortunately, none could lift the four hundred pounds stone block. Their strength was already at three hundred ninety pounds. After being stimulated by Lin Chen, they hoped for a sudden burst to lift four hundred pounds.
Unfortunately, in the Martial Path, there’s no room for luck, and strength cannot be faked.
A pound short won’t do.
"Take a rest today!"
With no one else stepping up, Instructor Liu announced the day off and then left.
"Co to my yard later."
Yu Yongnian instructed and also left the Martial Arts Arena.
With the three instructors gone, students dared not be too unruly earlier; Gu Fei was the first to run towards Lin Chen, followed by the other two students from Linhu Village.
"Chen, you’re aweso, entering Martial Hall’s top ten just like that."
"Just the tenth place." Lin Chen humbly replied.
"That’s not important; it’s still top ten. As long as we don’t specify, who knows it’s the tenth? I’ll just say you’re top ten when I get back to the village."
Gu Fei’s remark made Lin Chen’s lips twitch; it reminded him of a joke.
If you ask soone about their rank, and they say top one hundred, they’re probably below eighty. If they say top ten, it’s likely they’re the last three. If they say top three, it’s third.
The fourth and fifth won’t say top ten, only top five, and the first and second won’t say top three.
"Lin Chen, you’re really amazing."
"Lin Chen, how did you train?"
The other two students from Linhu Village, though excited, Lin Chen sensed a hint of jealousy in their tone.
It’s only human!
Good brothers are both afraid of their brother’s hardship and their success, let alone just villagers.
After a few simple responses, Lin Chen headed off to Instructor Yu, leaving the Martial Arts Arena.
Instructor Yu asked him to co later, and he couldn’t really make Instructor Yu wait too long.
