Chapter 183: City Level and Zhen Youqian

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Time passed quickly. In an instant, a month had passed.

Lin Yan got up. After having breakfast with Xiaozhi, he practiced the Tiger-Shaped Fist twice.

Then, he picked up a thick black spear from the weapon rack in the courtyard and played the Phoenix Spear a few times.

This black spear was the same type as the one in Xia Tang’s hand back then. It was made of a rather rare metal, Cloud Iron. Because it was extremely hard, ordinary polishing methods could not cut it open. One had to use the force of the Noble Realm to sharpen it.

After practicing, Lin Yan opened the Golden Bodhi Scripture as he did every day.

Skills: Devour (100%), Five Animal Hands (100%), Dragon-Shaped Fist (100%), Iron Pagoda (49%), Tiger-Shaped Fist + (65%), Wondrous Tao Te Ching (100%), Phoenix Spear (33%)

Among all the martial arts techniques, the Iron Pagoda made the slowest progress.

The speed of improvement of the Phoenix Spear was not bad. During this period of time, Lin Yan spent the most time on the Phoenix Spear. After all, it was a mission given by Liu Lanqing.

Ever since he was borrowed by Ling Shuangxue, Liu Lanqing became even more concerned about him and kept urging him to quickly practice the Phoenix Spear.

Finally, the Tiger-Shaped Fist reached 65% proficiency.

Of course, with his talent, even if there was a proficiency notification, it was impossible for him to cultivate a secret martial art to the Combination realm in a month.

The reason why the Tiger-Shaped Fist had such a high proficiency was because it had fused with the original Thousand Pound Break. That was why there was that small”+” at the back. While its explosive power was more violent, it reduced the damage to himself and further increased the power of his Critical Strike.

Of course, most importantly, the Black Jade Bodhi was finally full today…

However, now was not the time to sublimate.

Lin Yan took a shower and changed into his patrol guard uniform. After leaving, he walked straight to Chengyang District.

Here, South Mountain Mansion had not been repaired after being damaged in the battle between Ji Ying and Guo Fan. Thus, they simply demolished most of it and only left some buildings behind. A large square was left empty as a martial arts training ground for genius seeds.

Lin Yan walked straight in. In the square, a pine platform, a mahogany table, and a chair were temporarily built.

Below, there was a crowd. It was already filled with people. When they saw Lin Yan go on stage, everyone fell silent.

Lin Yan walked to the table on the stage and coldly swept his gaze across the geniuses below the stage. He picked up a small red booklet on the mahogany table. After opening it, he coughed and shouted, “You Heng.”

The sound was amplified by force and resounded throughout the venue.

A man immediately stood up and shouted, “Here!”

“Feng Shuo!”

“Here!”

Just like that, Lin Yan took attendance one by one and read out more than 400 names on the red-sealed booklet. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he put down the red-sealed booklet and… left the stage.

He walked to the side of the crowd and stood there quietly with his arms crossed.

This was his important work every day for the past month, taking attendance and accompanying them to study.

Every morning and noon, Lin Yan needed to arrive at the drill ground half an hour early. After confirming the attendance of these genius seeds according to the name list, he would accompany them to listen to classes for two hours and maintain the order of the students at the scene to prevent anyone from leaving halfway.

As for the daily street patrol, Lin Yan didn’t have to do it himself.

This was because after Ling Shuangxue went on stage, she implemented a more scientific and efficient plan. She used a points system to regulate the actions of these genius seeds.

One point accumulated from listening to a class.

Those who obtained a ranking in actual combat training received 1 to 3 points.

One point for those who had completed their homework.

If they committed crimes and disturbed order, 50 points would be deducted.

It was said that the mission system that was about to be released also used points as mission rewards.

This system was naturally ordinary in Lin Yan’s opinion. It was even very crude.

However, this was the first time these genius seeds from the lower cities had encountered it. Naturally, all of them tried their best to accumulate higher points. No one was bored enough to go to the streets to cause trouble and fight.

From this point of view, Ling Shuangxue’s management was clearly much more meticulous than Liu Lanqing’s.

However, Lin Yan’s vigilance towards Ling Shuangxue increased day by day.

After a month, he could already feel that Ling Shuangxue had a certain degree of malice towards him.

It had nothing to do with Xiaozhi and the Wind Thunder Pavilion. It was a kind of malicious intent that she subconsciously revealed from her constant observation and gaze.

Lin Yan felt that… it was very likely because of Liu Lanqing!

It was obvious that Ling Shuangxue did not arrange for him to be here casually.

Now that the Demon Suppression Division had already begun to publicize the recruitment and even released the news of the Black Grade force, Ling Shuangxue restricted him here for an entire month. He called out names and accompanied them to study, which prevented him from making any contributions. It was wasting his time.

Lin Yan definitely did not believe that Ling Shuangxue did not do it on purpose.

Fortunately, today was the last day of the month. After today, it would have nothing to do with him.

At this moment, a handsome man in his thirties slowly walked onto the stage. “Students, today, I’ll teach you the last lesson. The topic is the nine ways to improve the Tough Realm ultimate killing moves.”

Lin Yan composed himself and began to listen carefully to the man’s lecture.

Ling Shuangxue might have arranged for him to be here to make him frustrated and dissatisfied, thus revealing flaws in his actions.

However, on the contrary, these classes happened to suit Lin Yan’s taste!

Lin Yan’s growth speed was too fast, and he lacked the supplement of this basic knowledge.

Although Lin Yan did not like Ling Shuangxue, he had to admit that Qianyuan Academy’s exploration and understanding of force was indeed much better than many martial artists in the lower city.

He had been listening to the classes for the past month every day and had gained a lot. He had established a complete understanding of the blood energy and force system.

“Alright, that’s all for today’s lesson. For the next two hours, you can practice freely and review the tricks I mentioned.”

“See you off, Teacher!”

All the students bowed, and Lin Yan followed suit.

The handsome man also cupped his hands in return.

Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. His mission was completed.

He turned around and left quickly.

Just as he walked out of South Mountain Mansion, a voice sounded from behind. “Brother Lin, Brother Lin!”

Lin Yan stopped in his tracks and looked back. It was a fatty with fair skin. He smiled like a Buddha, but he ran like a jumping tank.

“Zhen Youqian?”

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows. This person’s name was Zhen Youqian, and he was a genius student from Xingyun City, a silver-ranked city.

Since there was a Dingdeng Battle, there were naturally levels between the cities.

Lin Yan had been with this group of genius seeds for a period of time, so he naturally knew.

In fact, the so-called lower city meant below the prefecture capital, not levels. The true levels were actually divided into four: gold, silver, copper, and iron. Among them, there were 3 gold, 6 silver, 12 copper, and 21 iron. A total of 42 cities. For cities of different levels, their population, development, and communication with the prefecture capital were all different. The higher the level, the stronger it was.

Ding’an City was one of the lowest-grade iron cities.

As for Zhen Youqian, he came from Xingyun City, a silver-grade city. It was said that it was much larger than Ding’an City, and the business was prosperous. It was jointly governed by a few large chambers of commerce and even had a business path that directly connected to the prefecture capital..
