As Lin Chen stepped onto the stairs, energy fluctuations erged around them, and a light screen appeared once again, obscuring the surroundings.
[Opening Seven Acupoints, Liang Calendar Year 147, Longnan Path Xingzhou Prefecture, Dou Ping!]
Dou Ping’s figure appeared on the stairs, and Lin Chen moved imdiately, his form becoming a blur as he rushed straight towards Dou Ping.
The two figures started almost simultaneously and clashed in the center of the stairs.
Bang!
Dou Ping staggered back a few steps, his left shoulder’s clothing torn, exposing a bloodied palm print. Lin Chen’s right shoulder was similarly torn, revealing three visible, bone-deep scars.
"My speed now can match this Senior Brother Dou, and our strength is not much different. This battle is winnable."
After this initial exchange, Lin Chen’s face showed a confident glow. This Senior Brother Dou was no longer invincible.
Dou Ping’s expression remained unchanged, as if the injury wasn’t his own. Lin Chen could understand, after all, this Senior Brother Dou was already an old man from a hundred years ago, and it wasn’t his real body appearing on the stairs.
He didn’t know how the Liang Dynasty court managed it, but it was impressive enough to replicate these geniuses’ combat power—emotions couldn’t also be preserved.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Two breaths later, the two figures clashed fiercely again, both exerting their utmost effort.
Lin Chen was bathed in blood, yet the more he fought, the more invigorated he beca!
Dou Ping was very strong, but it was precisely the encounter with such a formidable opponent that allowed him to hone his Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm.
The Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm had already reached the limit-breaking stage, and to rge them required not only personal insight but also experience gained through combat.
Dou Ping was an excellent test subject.
Ten breaths, a hundred breaths, three hundred breaths...
Almost there!
Lin Chen’s eyes glead, and he stumbled to his knees, blood seeping from his knee joint. But as he knelt, his lower body shifted sideways, his feet moving with ghostly agility, appearing instantly in front of Dou Ping.
Snap!
This palm struck Dou Ping’s right knee, the crisp sound of bone breaking echoed throughout the stairs, and Lin Chen imdiately followed with a second palm.
But his second palm missed as Dou Ping’s figure vanished into thin air.
Lin Chen: ...
[Fourteen Acupoints Difference, No Reward.]
A voice sounded in his ear, and only then did the vigilance in Lin Chen’s eyes fade. He had won against Dou Ping this ti.
"Fourteen Acupoints difference with no reward, it ans with my current fourteen acupoints, I need to defeat an eight-acupoint senior to get a reward from Martial Arts Mountain."
Lin Chen was curious about what rewards Martial Arts Mountain would offer. Neither Senior Zhao nor Instructor Min had been forthcoming, keeping it extrely mysterious.
More than ten breaths later!
The stairs refreshed, and Lin Chen’s injuries healed.
"Martial Arts Mountain is truly miraculous. If those seniors aren’t in their real bodies, they can disappear and appear, but I, as a real person, standing on the mountain, can imdiately recover from injuries. It’s incomprehensible."
Lin Chen couldn’t fathom how Martial Arts Mountain managed to instantly heal his injuries, it exceeded his understanding of martial paths.
This world’s martial path was more magical than he imagined!
It was precisely this magical martial path that motivated Lin Chen in his pursuit of the peak.
[Opening Eighth Acupoint: Liang Calendar Year 111, Longnan Path Phoenix Prefecture Bai Shengyu.]
A young figure in white appeared, gentle as the wind, embodying the image of a refined gentleman, but once Lin Chen saw him appear, he was on high alert. The first ti he climbed Martial Arts Mountain and fell from fourteen acupoints, this Senior Bai’s actions were the complete opposite of his appearance.
The man was like a gentleman, gentle as jade, but his strikes were fearlessly ferocious.
Bang!
Bai Shengyu punched out, the fist wind howling, tearing the air and producing a sharp exploding sound.
Lin Chen’s eyes sharpened, he swiftly retreated, simultaneously thrusting out his right palm, deploying the Clear Wind Palm to block.
The two palms t with a muffled sound, and Bai Shengyu took several steps back while Lin Chen stood unmoved.
"Senior, apologies."
Lin Chen grinned. In terms of strength, this Senior Bai was slightly weaker than him, and unlike Senior Dou’s claw technique which was unorthodox, this Senior Bai’s fist technique was overwhelmingly powerful, completely open and bold.
With his Iron Bone Skill at perfection, and relying on his Qi Blood advantage, handling this Senior Bai was easier than dealing with Senior Dou.
Thirty breaths later.
Watching as Senior Bai’s figure vanished, Lin Chen listened intently.
[Six Acupoints Difference, Conditions t, Bestowing Qi Blood lting Furnace for Ten Breaths.]
"Qi Blood lting Furnace?"
Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed, and before he could react, he felt the temperature around the entire staircase rising at a terrifying speed.
Simultaneously, not just the surface but inside his body, an indescribable heat wave engulfed him like a tide.
He felt his Qi Blood boiling within him at that mont...
After ten breaths, the indescribable painful heat vanished, Lin Chen was drenched in sweat, but he didn’t pause to examine his body. Instead, he imdiately summoned the panel.
