Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 196 - 52: Talent

Chapter 196: Chapter 52: Talent

Cao Qin patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder, "Don’t worry too much, after these few days, come with me to the Xuri Martial Academy."

Lin Yuan was at a loss, torn between laughing and crying.

Just now, he was hesitating, considering how to settle Zhu Lingshan, but Cao Qin had already thought of a solution for him. The Martial Academy, similar to a scholastic palace, can also accommodate family members.

However, unlike the management responsibilities of a scholastic palace, the Martial Academy focuses purely on martial arts cultivation.

Assured of Zhu Lingshan’s safety, he was no longer hesitant. Besides, there were hidden specters within Yanghua that he was not entirely confident in facing.

This was a great opportunity to leave.

"With such care from Master Cao, I dare not refuse," Lin Yuan said.

Lin Yuan immediately agreed without further hesitation.

"Hahaha." Seeing Lin Yuan agree, Cao Qin was very pleased, "By the way, how is your cultivation now?"

"Just broke through to Condensing Yuan Seventh Grade," Lin Yuan replied calmly.

"Seventh Grade?"

Cao Qin was slightly taken aback and couldn’t help but scrutinize the young man in front of him again.

In his impression, a disciple as young as Lin Yuan would be considered exceptionally gifted to enter the Condensing Yuan Realm. Lin Yuan had already surpassed the late stages of Condensing Yuan, not much different from some talented disciples in the Martial Academy.

Given the scarcity of resources in Yanghua, Lin Yuan reaching Condensing Yuan Seventh Grade far exceeded his expectations in martial arts talent.

Recalling Lin Yuan’s performance while observing the Heavenly Light Cloud Hidden Map, Cao Qin couldn’t help but be amazed, "Martial Arts Seventh Grade! Once in the scholastic palace with resource supply, his cultivation speed can further increase. Moreover, his exploration of artistic conception is already far ahead. Once entering the Aperture Realm, he can progress even faster!"

"At the age of thirty, he is likely to reach the peak of the Aperture Realm!" Cao Qin was startled by his own thoughts.

Having practiced martial arts for over forty years, he had only reached the mid-stage of the Aperture Realm.

"How many Aperture Channels do you have?" Cao Qin asked seriously.

He wanted to confirm Lin Yuan’s talent again. If the number of Aperture Channels was too few, there would be a limit to the Acupoints he could cultivate in the future. Even if Lin Yuan broke through to Condensing Yuan Seventh Grade now, there would be a ceiling at the early stage of the Aperture Realm.

"How many Qi Channels?" Lin Yuan pondered the question silently.

He currently had eighty-one in total but definitely couldn’t reveal his true potential.

However, giving too low a number would not gain recognition, while too high a number might lead to further scrutiny, which would not be ideal.

"Thirty-two," Lin Yuan quickly decided on a modest number.

"Thirty-two?!"

Cao Qin took a deep breath.

"This number of channels doesn’t match some top-tier talents with nearly forty, but it’s still exceptional." Thinking of this, a fervent gaze flashed in Cao Qin’s eyes as he looked at Lin Yuan.

Unexpectedly, just a short while ago, he was lamenting that Yanghua was too remote to wait long.

But now, it had given him a big surprise.

"Lin Yuan, must keep an eye on him!"

Cao Qin resolved to take Lin Yuan back, even if he had to resort to binding him.

This level of talent promised limitless possibilities. Breaking through the Aperture Realm and entering the Lingyuan Realm was no longer a mere illusion.

"Lin Yuan, your talent is beyond what I expected."

Cao Qin calmed his excitement, thought of his authority, and did not hesitate to take out a token from his bosom to show Lin Yuan, "As an instructor introducing talents to the Martial Academy, I am qualified to recommend outstanding disciples to the Inner Sect."

"With this token, you can directly enter the Inner Sect of the Martial Academy for assessment, and if passed, become an Inner Sect Disciple." Cao Qin placed the token on the table and reminded, "However, this is not a casual selection."

"In the Inner Sect, there are various factions like Yanyang, Yunyin, and Yaori, each corresponding to the application of different martial intents. I belong to the Yunyin sect, and this token also represents entry into the Yunyin lineage."

"Your talent is exceptional, and I do not wish to hide it from you. Once you enter the Martial Academy, the other factions will certainly extend an olive branch. Taking the token signifies your choice of the Yunyin lineage, so consider carefully."

Cao Qin spoke calmly, revealing the complexities to Lin Yuan with complete honesty.

If Lin Yuan chose the Yunyin lineage now, he would naturally give his all in teaching. Even if Lin Yuan refused, he would harbor no resentment.

Once at the Xuri Martial Academy, the benefits would ultimately belong to him, even if Lin Yuan chose other lineages, he would respect it.

The room fell silent.

Cao Qin was not in a hurry and quietly waited for Lin Yuan’s decision.

After about three breaths,

Under Cao Qin’s gaze, Lin Yuan, dressed in black, did not hesitate and directly picked up the token, placing it into his bosom.

"Thank you for your favor, Master Cao. How could I not appreciate such an opportunity?"

Taking the token, Lin Yuan cupped his hands in gratitude.

He had already mastered the first diagram’s cultivation method and planned to start cultivating it immediately upon returning. By entering the Yunyin lineage, he could continue his cultivation legitimately.

With the help of nine diagrams, even if Yunyin’s cultivation techniques were poor, he had confidence in progressing further.

Moreover, Cao Qin was his guide, so by logic, he should join that lineage; being two-faced would not last long.

Furthermore, Cao Qin was very sincere, and there was no need to tell him about the other factions he could choose from.

"Good, I didn’t misjudge you," Cao Qin said with relief, once again holding Lin Yuan in high regard.

With top-notch talent and skill, who wouldn’t like it?

"It will end here in a few more days. Today, go back and arrange your family matters. Tomorrow, come to me; I’ll be free to guide you for a bit."

Lin Yuan nodded, indicating he understood.

After giving instructions, Cao Qin opened the door and led Lin Yuan out of the quiet room.

After exiting, Cao Qin once again introduced several Martial Academy disciples to Lin Yuan.

Having exchanged greetings with a few individuals, Lin Yuan took his leave.

**************

As Lin Yuan and Cao Qin were speaking in the secret room, outside the scholastic palace, there was upheaval.

"Lin Yuan, Hall Master Lin. He persisted for a full incense stick’s time within the painting without his spirit suffering any damage. Incredible!" Several Pill Masters gathered, discussing endlessly.

"Hall Master Lin, with such innate aptitude. In just over half a year since entering the scholastic palace, he has entered Condensing Yuan. The upper courtyard testing further revealed his extraordinary talent; the Yanghua Pond is too small to contain such a true dragon." A few elders couldn’t help but sigh.

"Lin Yuan, who would have thought it was him. Too astonishing, while others didn’t dare to look twice, he persisted for a full incense stick. So enviable, to be able to enter the Martial Academy." Other Inner Sect true disciples murmured among themselves in astonishment.

Meanwhile, the desk of each family leader was filled with various memos.

The Hong family was no exception.

Hong family, Family Head’s study.

Upon reading the memo, Hong Bangzhao gently placed it down.

Suddenly, dormant memories surged in his mind.

"Lin Yuan!" Hong Bangzhao’s mind was stirred.

After a silent pause for two or three breaths, his face gradually revealed a cold smile.

When Hong Weiqing was the Family Head, he strongly advocated for the complete eradication of Lin Yuan.

After the Hong family’s complete failure, he was busy dealing with various crises in the family, putting the matter of Lin Yuan aside.

"This person’s talent is indeed extraordinary, qualified to enter the Martial Academy. Just as I suspected before, his martial arts talent crowned Yanghua, making him a major enemy of my Hong family. It’s unfortunate that time we didn’t finish him off, and now he’s entered the Martial Academy."

Splotches of darkness flashed in Hong Bangzhao’s eyes: "Lin Yuan hails from the Pei family, now entering the Martial Academy. With this relationship, the Pei family stands firm in Yanghua, and our Hong family has no chance of resurgence."

"Is the Pei family secretly blessed by the heavens?" A look of madness appeared on Hong Bangzhao’s face.
