Entry Level!

"Lin Yin? I know that guy... Senior Brother Wan said he got in through the back door!"

"The back door? I knew it. How could someone built like that be selected for the Living Stakes."

"Senior Brother Xu must have been trying to suppress us. It's infuriating that someone else's hard-earned spot was given away through the back door."

As they watched Lin Yin "climb" the stakes, the initial doubtful voices gradually shifted, laced with contempt and disdain.

This made Xu Chang feel a pang of awkwardness.

He didn't know the full story, only that Lin Yin had a unique understanding of martial arts techniques. He hadn't expected that recommending him might actually harm the young man.

Seeing the conversation take a turn for the worse, Xu Chang's expression turned cold, and he let out a scoff.

"Your Stance Practice hasn't even reached Minor Accomplishment, yet you're aiming too high and belittling others."

"..."

Upon hearing Xu Chang's reprimand, some disciples showed embarrassed expressions, realizing they had misunderstood. They immediately shut their mouths and stopped speaking, though others remained unfazed.

Li Qianjiang cupped his hands towards Xu Chang, his face full of confusion.

"Senior Brother, if you had asked us to pick this guy, I'm sure none of the other disciples would have been happy.

In the path of martial arts, you either advance or retreat. Even the Living Stakes are of great significance to us. I'm not being harsh, Senior Brother."

"Since I recommended him, I naturally have my reasons. I wouldn't mislead you."

Xu Chang's brows furrowed, his voice deepening slightly.

The actions of the person before him were undoubtedly a public slap in the face. Xu Chang couldn't help but feel angry, but this person was special, and he didn't want to get into a prolonged dispute. He explained in a deep voice.

"This person has a unique insight into Stance Practice. I asked him to teach the other disciples, which is why we see this scene. You were all confused, so I brought it up!"

"Unique insight? Heh, so that's how it is. Senior Brother, you meant well, but you forgot about us disciples. Who among us doesn't have unique insights into Stance Practice? Otherwise, how could we have entered the Martial Arts School directly?"

Li Qianjiang smiled slightly, his words seemingly agreeable but sharp as a blade.

Seeing this, Xu Chang's brows knitted together even tighter. He glanced meaningfully at the "relentless" fellow before him.

At this moment, how could he not see that the person before him had ulterior motives?

This might not be about Lin Yin at all; the target was him.

How dare he!

Xu Chang's expression suddenly darkened, but he didn't retort directly. Instead, he looked at the figure who had already climbed to the top of the stake.

Receiving no response, Li Qianjiang smiled slightly and cupped his hands towards the disciples behind him.

"Senior Brother Xu specifically praised this person's understanding of techniques. He must truly have something that makes us look up to him.

Everyone, you should all watch carefully. Perhaps we really misunderstood Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother Li is right."

"In that case, let's watch."

"..."

In front of everyone, Xu Chang's face had already turned ashen.

Responding directly would mean losing face. Not responding, and the other party would cling to him like a stubborn stain.

At this moment, even though he had some confidence in Lin Yin, he didn't hold out much hope.

As Li Qianjiang said, when it came to understanding and insight into techniques.

How could Lin Yin, who needed to enter the Fist Manor through the Living Stakes quota, compare to those disciples with excellent bone structure carefully selected by their masters and uncles?

It could be said that from the moment he fell into the trap, he was already at a disadvantage.

"Second Senior Brother is going too far..."

Xu Chang was both angry at Li Qianjiang's relentless pursuit and helpless. He knew the implications behind it.

He was well aware of the people behind Li Qianjiang.

He just hadn't expected them to be so direct.

It seemed that many of these newly admitted disciples would be won over by Second Senior Brother...

Thinking about the current situation in the school, and the recent developments in Langshi Town, Xu Chang felt a sense of impending storm.

"Snap..."

A sudden sound snapped him back to reality. The stance of Falling Cloud Treading Goose twisted in the air, the movement of a kick in mid-air causing his bewildered eyes to widen instantly.

Wait! This... this is...

Beside the martial arts stake, Shi Zhong, who had been standing on it, had quietly climbed down.

They stood at the edge of the stake ground, looking solemnly at the figure maneuvering on the stake.

His punches and palms moved like thunder, his footwork on the wooden stakes weaving and turning like a swimming dragon!

Compared to their rigid and extremely standard movements, the person on the stakes was completely different. His movements appeared gentle, yet were exceptionally fluid, so fluid it didn't look like he was practicing martial arts.

"Senior Brother Shi Zhong... do you think Senior Brother Lin is practicing well, or not?"

In the crowd, Wan Qing watched with his mouth agape at the figure moving as if on flat ground on the stakes.

Just maneuvering between each stake was no simple feat for him.

With the slightest carelessness, let alone maintaining proper form, he might even fall off.

But if you were to say the other person was doing exceptionally well, there was no weighty surge of Qi and Blood with each movement, each punch and kick.

At this moment, Shi Zhong didn't directly answer Wan Qing's question. His face was complex, and he pursed his lips, gesturing for Wan Qing and the others to look towards Xu Chang.

"You should be able to tell from the performance of the senior brothers."

His low voice carried a hint of complexity.

"Senior brothers... why have they all gone silent."

Wan Qing whispered.

Silence...

Some wore expressions of astonishment, others were dumbfounded, and still others were holding their breath, their expressions solemn, their eyes locked onto the figure "dancing" on the stakes!

"This stance, this... this junior brother seems to have more than just a basic grasp..."

Someone in the crowd finally couldn't help but speak.

But no one responded to him at this moment. Xu Chang, standing at the front of the crowd, kept his gaze fixed on the figure maneuvering on the stakes.

Even Li Qianjiang, who had been arguing with him earlier, had his smug smile frozen on his face.

"His body moves with his shadow, his Qi is like a delicate orchid blooming, he spins and unfurls his sleeves, his momentum like a sudden, surging wave!

His Qi and Blood move in unison, this... this seems to have reached the entry level..."

A disciple couldn't help but whisper at this point, their voice small but earth-shattering!

Not far away, Shi Zhong and the others were immediately in an uproar upon hearing this. They had thought Lin Yin might have reached a new level, but they never imagined he would directly reach the entry level.

Entry level meant knocking on the door, knocking open the broad path leading to the martial way!

"Observing his Qi, he didn't just enter the level recently, it must have been at least two days ago. His Qi and Blood resonate, his body moves with his will, he's exploring Condensing Strength!"

Xu Chang, whose expression had been grim and his mood downcast, suddenly let out a long sigh, as if lamenting, yet also clarifying.

The gloom on his face dispersed at this moment, and his smile was exceptionally bright.

As soon as he said this, the disciples who were still hesitating showed looks of surprise.

Some disciples couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Senior Brother Xu, may I ask when this junior brother started practicing the Cloud Settling Stake Technique?"

Li Qianjiang's expression changed slightly at this question, and the disciples beside him pricked up their ears.

Each breakthrough in Stance Practice was like knocking on a door, from zero to one, it could completely reflect a person's talent and bone structure.

If they remembered correctly, this Living Stake selection hadn't even been a month yet.

Less than a month, and he reached the entry level in Stance Practice...

Thinking about the implications, these seemingly young disciples all changed their expressions.

Their faces were no longer filled with the arrogance and complacency they had before.

Many of them had been in the hall for a month... yet they hadn't reached the entry level!
