Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 13 Your shock is yet to come

[Name: Lin Chen]

[Occupation: Warrior]

[Qi and blood: 2083/3000]

[Fate: [Successful outcome]: In the realm of martial arts, perseverance, gradual progress, unstoppable momentum, no bottlenecks.]

The next day.

Lin Chen saw the increase in Qi and blood on his panel and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Am I seeing things?
The Qi and blood increased by eighty points in one day.

"Is black deer meat so effective in nourishing qi and blood?"

Thinking about the black deer meat he had eaten yesterday, Lin Chen finally understood why even Lu Yongfeng and the others were drooling.

That plate of meat must be very valuable, but I wonder if I can maintain this growth rate if I keep eating it.

Others may not be able to do it, but maybe you can.

Thinking of his own fate, Lin Chen's eyes lit up, but then he thought of Lu Yongfeng and the others swallowing their saliva, and he gave up the idea.

It goes without saying that black deer meat is extremely expensive and you definitely cannot afford it.

"Chenzi, Xiao Tianxiang's eldest brother is getting married today. Should we follow Xiao Tianxiang back to the village to join in the fun?" Gu Fei got off the bed and asked with anticipation.

Seeing Gu Fei's expectant expression, Lin Chen frowned and became serious: "A Fei, tell me the truth, are you going to give up martial arts training?"

"No...no."

"If not, why have you been lax recently and often leave the martial arts arena early? We brothers should stop telling lies."

Lin Chen stared at Gu Fei seriously. Gu Fei hesitated for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "Chenzi, do you think we can really cultivate our energy within two years? I only have 350 kilograms of strength now, and I have spent 700 to 800 kilograms. According to those brothers, the more time passes, the more money you have to spend..."

There was some confusion in Gu Fei's eyes, confusion about learning martial arts and confusion about the future.

"A Fei, why do you have such an idea?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"It's not just me, many people feel the same way. Zhang Hao and Xiao Tianxiang also find it difficult to cultivate their energy within two years."

Lin Chen understood this time that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the martial arts hall.

After nine months of learning martial arts, the progress of many students slowed down, but the expenses did not decrease. Many students began to feel confused about learning martial arts, and some even wanted to give up. Even if some did not give up, they no longer had the enthusiasm they had when they first entered the martial arts hall.

If you can’t cultivate your energy within one year, there’s still the second year. If the second year doesn’t work, there’s still the third year…

"A Fei, the path to learning martial arts is persistence. No matter what, if you give up on yourself, how can you cultivate your energy within two years?"

Lin Chen's expression was very serious: "If I had thought the same as you, shouldn't I have given up earlier? Why would I go to the cafeteria to work again? Do you really think I wouldn't feel embarrassed at all for serving food to some acquaintances?"

"I had no money at the beginning, and I had to save money and ended up eating beef. Zhang Tao laughed at me, can I really be at peace?"

"A Fei, you have to remember one thing. If you don't give up, you may not be able to cultivate your energy within two years. But if you give up, you will definitely not be able to cultivate your energy within two years. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. I'm going to beat Zhang Tao now." Gu Fei waved his fist.

Lin Chen: …

"Just kidding. I know what you mean. You're right. I shouldn't give up. After your fishing boat is launched this time, I will practice boxing hard."

"Let's go, it's time to go to the martial arts arena."

When he arrived at the martial arts training ground, Lin Chen discovered that many students were late and several were missing.

The teacher and the other two instructors did not show up either. At this stage, only Lu Yongfeng and his four companions were able to cultivate the essence of energy, and the other instructors would not care.

At noon, Lin Chen went to the cafeteria and bought a bowl of nourishing soup. Although many students saw it, it did not cause much shock.

After yesterday's shock, many students speculated that Instructor Yu had given them special treatment, so it was normal to buy the Qi-nourishing Soup now.

When Gu Fei saw Lin Chen buying the Qi-nourishing Soup, he wanted to buy some too. Lin Chen wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he decided not to stop Gu Fei.

If Gu Fei follows his cost-effective method of training martial arts, his goal is to develop qi and blood within two years. In this case, he can just eat beef at this time, and then start drinking qi-nourishing soup in the second half of next year. In this way, the cost-effectiveness can reach the limit.

It was just that he had just persuaded Gu Fei to be determined to learn martial arts, and stopping Gu Fei from eating at this time was tantamount to attacking Gu Fei.

After taking a dose of Qi-nourishing soup, Lin Chen found the next day that his Qi and blood had increased by 20 points. According to this progress, in a month his Qi and blood would increase by 600 points, his strength would increase by 120 kilograms, and he would get a reward of ten taels of silver.

At this rate, it should be no problem to develop vital energy within a year.

It's enough time, but not very safe.

If after reaching 500 kilograms, the growth of his energy and blood slows down and he needs to increase his spending, his plan will be disrupted.

Teacher Yu also said that we should seize every opportunity.

Take two doses of Yangqi Decoction a day, this will be enough to keep you stable.

The two doses of Yangqi Decoction brought an increase of 30 points of Qi and blood. Judging from the value of Qi and blood converted from food, this was a bit of a waste, but he couldn't care less about that now.

Although it costs two hundred and fifty coins a day, which is seven and a half taels of silver a month, it is all worth it.

"Chenzi, don't be too impulsive."

Seeing Lin Chen spending so much money, Gu Fei became a little worried and took the initiative to persuade him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm going for the ten taels reward."

"Ten taels of reward? You want to increase your strength by one hundred jin in a month, and directly reach five hundred jin?"

Gu Fei's eyes widened, and he circled around Lin Chen three times, then reached out and touched Lin Chen's forehead: "You don't have a fever either."

"I'm serious. I'm sure I can do it." Lin Chen asked back.

"Are you sure?" Gu Fei was a little incredulous. "Even Lu Yongfeng and his friends, after they reached 400 kilograms, did not gain more than 100 kilograms in a month. Lu Yongfeng, the most powerful of our class, after he reached 400 kilograms, in addition to eating beef and drinking nourishing soup, I heard that he also took ginseng privately, but he only gained 70 kilograms in a month."

"Believe me, I won't joke about my future."

Lin Chen couldn't tell Gu Fei that he had a destiny of "everything will come naturally" and that he had made detailed calculations to ensure that he had enough money to cover his expenses.

He had two taels of silver on him, and now he took two doses of nourishing qi soup and three pounds of beef every day, which cost him two hundred and fifty coins a day.

Two taels of silver are enough to support his health to 2250 points, which is 450 kilograms of strength.

When he reaches the required strength, he will ask Instructor Yu for a reward of three taels of silver, and then continue to work hard, aiming to reach 500 kilograms.

……

……

While Lin Chen was sprinting madly towards 500 kilograms, Lu Yongfeng and others were also following suit.

As winter approaches, there is white frost on the ground.

At dawn, eleven figures appeared on the martial arts field.

Lu Yongfeng, Zhao Jingchuan, Cheng Ying, Xu Botao and Yan Dexing, all five of them have reached a strength of over 570 kilograms, and are sprinting towards the final 600 kilograms.

The other five people were Lin Chen and his group, whose strength reached 400 kilograms, and Gu Fei who was being pulled by Lin Chen.

The other students had already relaxed by this time. As long as the sun didn't shine on the training ground, these students would not come.

Six days later.

Yu Yongnian and his two instructors appeared at the martial arts arena.

"Master, I want to try to lift a 450-jin stone block."

Lin Chen glanced at the health value [2253/3000] on his panel and said loudly.

As soon as he said this, everyone present looked at him.

What do you mean?
If I remember correctly, Lin Chen just crossed the 400-jin threshold a few days ago.

It is impossible to increase strength by 50 kilograms in just a few days!
The corner of Yan Dexing's mouth twitched. If it were in the past, he would have made a few sarcastic remarks.

But thinking about his last experience at Zhao's Restaurant, he was afraid that after mocking him, he would be in trouble again.

After getting the instructor's nod of agreement, Lin Chen walked to the 450-jin stone pier and squatted down. He did not dare to be careless. His strength had just reached jin, and he could not lift every pound.

When people saw that veins on Lin Chen's hands were bulging and his face was flushed red, but he finally lifted the stone pillar to his abdomen, the scene fell into silence.

Facing the surprised looks of everyone in the martial arts arena, Lin Chen lowered his head shyly with his eyes drooping.

This is just the beginning!
Your shock is yet to come.

Yu Yongnian's eyes sparkled, and he pondered for a while: "Okay, Lin Chen, you go to the backyard with Lu Yongfeng and the others, and the others continue to practice boxing."

Lin Chen, Lu Yongfeng and the others followed the three instructors out of the training ground.

"It really weighs four hundred and fifty kilograms."

Not long after Lin Chen left, Chu Dong walked to the stone pier that Lin Chen was lifting. He tried to lift it several times but failed. Then he had to believe that Lin Chen's strength was really 450 kilograms.

"Chu Dong, what do you mean? Do you suspect Chen Zi of cheating?"

Gu Fei was very dissatisfied when he saw Chu Dong's actions: "With a teacher here, who dares to cheat!"

Chu Dong also knew that his behavior was inappropriate and did not argue with Gu Fei.

He really couldn't accept the reality that Lin Chen suddenly soared into the sky, so he came up with the absurd idea that the stone pillar was fake.

In his mind, the fact that Lin Chen gained fifty kilograms of strength in just a few days was even more absurd and unacceptable than the fake stone pier.
