Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 134 Lin Chen, the Unflinching
"It was luck that my disciple was able to kill the snake demon."

In the cabin, Lin Chen did not hide anything when he heard Lord Jiang's question. He explained, "The snake demon had already been injured by several lords at that time, and its strength had greatly decreased. My disciple happened to encounter the snake demon and luckily killed it."

After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Jiang Kui nodded. This made sense.

Therefore, Lin Chen was lucky to have encountered a snake demon whose strength had been greatly reduced and which had escaped.

Jiang Kui's intention to talk to Lin Chen faded a little, but since he had already started talking, he continued to ask, "To what level has the snake demon's strength been reduced?"

"I'm not sure, but according to what Master Fang said, if an enlightened warrior encounters a snake demon, he will be in great danger."

Lin Chen also realized that the reason why Lord Jiang came into the cabin to question him was because of what Lord Fang said.

It seems that it is not the rule of the Military Affairs Office that officials who pick up and drop off these students are not allowed to communicate too much with them, but it is simply that Lord Fang does not want to talk too much with him.

He didn't know what the special training arranged by the Military Affairs Office was like, but it was obvious that he was being looked down upon.

Being looked down upon and then getting slapped in the face in the end, this plot is certainly very satisfying. In his previous life, Lin Chen read this kind of novels with great gusto, but now as the person involved, he would never do that.

You should hide your shortcomings when you should, but there is no need to hide your shortcomings when you shouldn't.

"Are you saying that the snake demon has a strength close to Lian Zang, and you are not exaggerating?"

Jiang Kui's interest in the conversation, which had just been extinguished, was aroused again. He had already read the information about Lin Chen before coming here.

Three months ago, the Military Affairs Department handed over Lin Chen's information.

In three months, he perfected the Qingfeng Palm and won first place in the internal competition among the new batch of students in Poyang County Martial Arts School.

Ordinary officials of the Military Administration would be shocked by Lin Chen’s achievements, but to him, these achievements of Lin Chen were nothing.

It takes three months to perfect a martial art, and there are several students in each session who can do it. The reason why the Military Affairs Department uses half a year as the standard is because there is not much difference between three months and half a year.

Reaching perfection one or two months earlier only means that the student is more compatible with this practice. Some students can even use certain means to quickly complete a practice.

As for the new student competing for first place, that is not worth mentioning. Every student who can come to the special training ground is the best in the class.

Having seen so many geniuses, Lin Chen was not that outstanding in his eyes. If he had not picked up Lin Chen, he should have picked up another more outstanding genius. This was the reason for his cold attitude towards Lin Chen.

"Sir, I heard this from Master Fang and Master Su. If you say it's exaggerated, it's probably because of you two."

Feeling the doubt in the other party's eyes, Lin Chen didn't care and answered truthfully.

Jiang Kui pondered for a moment and asked, "What realm are you in now?"

"Fourteen points of enlightenment."

Fourteen points of enlightenment?

"Have you ever taken Tongqiao Pill?"

"I took two."

Jiang Kui's mood dimmed to the lowest level again. The document he received recorded that Lin Chen's realm was to open seven orifices. It took him three months to open seven orifices, and he also took the Tongqiao Pill. This cultivation speed was not slow in a county, but it was at the bottom in the special training area.

"I am ashamed of my slow progress in realm. Fortunately, Master Su comforted me and told me that my path of martial arts training is different from that of other brothers and sisters, and my breakthrough in realm cannot compare with that of other brothers. This gave me the confidence to continue practicing martial arts."

wipe!
This guy is such a snob.

Lin Chen is now completely certain that this Lord Jiang is extremely powerful. After he told him about the fourteen openings of the orifices and took two orifice-opening pills, he simply remained silent.

There was no choice but to go up by himself.

"The path of martial arts training you take is different from others. I'm curious about how it's different." Jiang Kui was interested again when he heard Lin Chen's words.

"My disciple was too impulsive at the beginning and chose to follow the path of extreme martial arts."

Jiang Kui's pupils shrank, and the nonchalant expression on his face became more restrained: "Is this your own choice?"

"It was my own choice. Lord Su also advised me against it at the beginning. I coveted the ultimate cultivation method and became invincible in the same realm. I chose this path without knowing the immensity of the world."

"You have good courage. If you follow the path of extreme martial arts, it would not be bad if you can break through to the Fourteen Apertures within three months. However, this path is not easy to take. What stage have you reached in practicing your second martial arts?"

Regardless of whether Lin Chen can succeed on this path, Jiang Kui has a high opinion of Lin Chen because he dares to choose this path of cultivation.

But it is only one point. Having courage does not mean success. As Lin Chen himself said, he made the choice without knowing the immensity of the world. After experiencing the difficulty of this road, he must be full of regrets.

"Disciple was lucky enough to cultivate the second technique to perfection."

Lin Chen scratched his head. Jiang Kui's eyes widened a little, and his body leaned forward slightly: "You mean that after you perfected the Qingfeng Palm, you started to practice the second technique, and then you also practiced the second technique to perfection?"

"Actually, it's not the second technique. While I was practicing the Qingfeng Palm, for some reasons, I also practiced the Shuiyun Palm. After I chose to follow the path of extreme martial arts, the Iron Bone Skill I practiced should strictly be considered the third entry-level technique."

Do I care whether you are strict or not?
Jiang Kui was a little annoyed and asked again: "Have you completed the Iron Bone Skill?"

"Ah."

Lin Chen agreed, and Jiang Kui grabbed Lin Chen's arm with his right hand like lightning. The moment his palm touched Lin Chen's arm, he felt the shock force coming from Lin Chen's arm.

It is indeed the characteristic of the perfection of Iron Bone Kung Fu.

He took the path of extreme martial arts and mastered the second technique so quickly, and that was the Iron Bone Technique, an extremely difficult horizontal training technique, to perfection!
Although he didn't lose his composure, Jiang Kui no longer felt upset about not being able to pick up another talented student because of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's emerging potential in martial arts is no worse than that student's.

"There is a lot of cold fog during this journey. There is medicinal wine on the boat to dispel the cold. If you feel the chill, you can drink some."

Jiang Kui reached out and placed the wine jug on the table on one side of the cabin in front of Lin Chen. Lin Chen had noticed this wine jug a long time ago. Seeing Lord Jiang's actions, he knew everything in his heart. If he hadn't said this, Lord Jiang might not have reminded him to drink to ward off the cold when they arrived at their destination.

"Sir, my disciple has strong energy and blood, so he should be able to withstand a little cold fog." Lin Chen said confidently.

"Don't underestimate the cold fog deep in the lake. Even martial artists who practice internal energy cannot stand it. Even if you are on the extreme martial arts path and your blood and energy far exceed those of martial artists at the same level, you have only opened fourteen points of enlightenment."

Jiang Kui was not dissatisfied with Lin Chen's confident words, and explained with rare patience.

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me."

"No need to be polite. I am responsible for picking you up and dropping you off. It is my duty to take care of you on the way."

Hearing this, Lin Chen silently gave Lord Jiang a thumbs up.

"Since you have mastered two techniques, the next one must be the leg technique. As for the Water Cloud Palm you mentioned, there is no need to continue practicing it."

"Even if the disciple wants to practice, he cannot." Lin Chen chuckled.

"Why?"

"Not long ago, I was lucky enough to cultivate the Water Cloud Palm to perfection."

Jiang Kui's smile froze, and he suddenly felt that Lin Chen's shy smile was so dazzling. Three techniques are perfect?

If he was not sure that Lin Chen would not lie, if someone told him at another time that a student had mastered the three skills to perfection in just half a year, he would definitely sneer at it.

Is this a shock?
I haven't even mentioned that my Shuiyun Palm and Qingfeng Palm have reached their limits.

Feeling the complicated look in Lord Jiang's eyes, Lin Chen decided to keep some of the information to himself. The information revealed so far was already enough.

After a breath.

Jiang Kui reached out and took the two wine glasses on the table on the side, and was about to get the wine pot.

"How dare I trouble you to pour me some wine."

Lin Chen quickly stood up, picked up the wine jug first, poured a glass of wine for Jiang Kui, and then poured a glass for himself.

The wine is pure green and has a refreshing fragrance.

Jiang Kui picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After calming down his shock, he spoke again, "No wonder you were able to defeat the snake demon that was close to awakening. With the Iron Bone Skill perfected and the two palm techniques perfected, it was unlucky for the snake demon to meet you."

"Lord Fang and Lord Su also said so."

Lin Chen chuckled, his words were meant to be intimate.

As long as Lord Jiang is not stupid, he will know that Lord Su and Lord Fang take good care of him. Now he says that Lord Fang and Lord Su have also said such words, which means he wants to get close to them.

"Haha, it seems that I share the same opinion as Lord Su and the others."

Jiang Kui laughed loudly. He could naturally sense Lin Chen's thoughts, but he also wanted to get close to Lin Chen.

As the two of them had the same idea, the subsequent conversation was extremely harmonious.

"There are a total of thirty people in your class who meet the requirements of the Military Administration Department's genius requirements. There are four in Raozhou Prefecture, but one of them has a special situation, so you may not meet him."

Jiang Kui knew why Lin Chen wanted to get close to him, which was nothing more than wanting to know about the special training.

The Military Affairs Department did not ask the officials who were responsible for picking up and dropping off the trainees to keep the matter confidential. After all, the Military Affairs Department would inform them once they arrived at the special training location.

Informing students now is just to let them know in advance so that they can be mentally prepared.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, without asking who the four students from Raozhou Prefecture were. He would naturally know when he arrived at the special training ground. Instead, he raised the wine jug and continued to pour wine for Lord Jiang.

"The Martial Arts Department values students like you very much. We will tailor your training based on your own cultivation methods and directions. In addition, during these three months, all the martial arts resources needed for your breakthroughs will be borne by the Martial Arts Department."

Jiang Kui said meaningfully: "In these three months, you should break through as many realms as you can. There will not be a second chance like this."

Unlimited supply of resources needed for martial arts practice!

As long as your body can absorb and digest it.

Lin Chen only felt his heartbeat quicken by half a beat. He had already entered the second half of the awakening state, and his destiny was about to take effect.

The further you go, the faster your realm will be broken through.

Therefore, he could take full advantage of the Wu Zheng Hall.

"Although the Martial Arts Department will provide you with enough training resources, for you students, resources are not the most important thing in this special training. During the three months of special training, the Martial Arts Department has arranged assessments for you, but the assessments here are different from those in the martial arts hall. They may start in a way you can't imagine."

Assessment in the martial arts gym?

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that there were two types of assessments in the martial arts hall. One was a duel, and the other was the improvement of skills and realm.

So the special training given to these geniuses by the Military Affairs Department is another kind of assessment standard?

"If you have the chance, you must improve your assessment ranking. The assessment ranking is what determines whether you can gain real and significant benefits from this special training."

Jiang Kui stopped talking here.

This is all he can reveal within his authority. Lin Chen will have to figure out the rest on his own.

Many students who come here actually know this, but he has seen Lin Chen's family background and is afraid that the son of a fisherman from a small village would not know this.

"Don't underestimate anyone in the special training ground."

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, knowing that this should be the most useful information that Lord Jiang had revealed to him.

The intimacy that I released finally worked.

"Thank you for your reminder, I am grateful."

Lin Chen continued to pour a glass of wine for Jiang Kui, poured one for himself as well, and raised his glass to toast.

……

……

After finishing a pot of wine, Jiang Kui returned to the deck.

Perhaps because he had been drinking, Lin Chen did not feel the chill that Jiang Kui mentioned.

I don’t know how long it had passed, but Lin Chen felt the boat under him stopped moving forward. His eyes lit up. Have we reached our destination?
"Lin Chen, we have to change the route next."

Hearing Lord Jiang's voice, Lin Chen walked out of the cabin and found that there was a thick white fog all around him. The fog was so thick that he couldn't even see his feet when he looked down.

“Just keep moving forward!”

Jiang Kui's voice came to his ears again, but Lin Chen could not see the figure of Lord Jiang.

"it is good!"

After a moment, Lin Chen nodded in agreement, not caring whether Lord Jiang could see him or not, and walked forward, not even caring whether he would miss a step.

In just a moment, Lord Jiang's words in the cabin flashed through his mind.

The assessment here is different from that in the martial arts school. It appears in a way that I am not aware of. Perhaps the assessment has already begun.

Lin Chen strode forward, and not far from him, Jiang Kui was standing on Lin Chen's left side, holding an hourglass. At the same time, a middle-aged man appeared on Jiang Kui's right side.

The man held a pen in one hand and a booklet in the other, observing Lin Chen's every move.

The moment Lin Chen took the first step, the man began writing furiously.

"Lin Chen, take a step after a breath, one step and a half foot..."
