Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 147 Shocking news

Ten days later.

Lin Chen entered the iron house.

As soon as I entered the iron house, my body stiffened and an invisible pressure surged in from all directions.

There was the sound of gears turning on the three sides of the iron house. The next moment, Lin Chen felt holes appearing on the three walls.

shhhhhh!
The next moment, countless sounds of breaking wind came whistling.

Waves of terrifying power shot at his body like raindrops.

Lin Chen was not at all panicked by this scene, because he had experienced this situation for three days.

In these ten days, he broke through the second level in just four days, and now he is at the third level.

Compared to the first level of defeating eight bronze men, the second and third levels were much easier, so he asked Senior Brother Xue about this.

Senior Brother Xue just replied to him: Junior Brother Lin, some people pass the test, some people pass the test, people are different.

A puzzling answer.

When asked again, Senior Brother Xue remained silent.

Faced with hundreds of terrifying forces falling on his body like a torrential rain, Lin Chen simply used his Iron Bone Skill, and his whole body made various collision sounds.

When he just passed the third level, the debris shot out from the crossbows would disrupt his blood and qi when he was caught off guard. Once his blood and qi surged, the Iron Bone Skill would not be able to keep functioning.

But after several days of experiments, although the blood and energy in his body were surging a little, the circulation speed was not interrupted.

One step, two steps...

After ten steps, looking at the iron pillar in front of him that was as high as his waist, and the red button on the iron pillar, Lin Chen pressed it without hesitation.

The button fell and the holes in the three walls disappeared.

It was the first time that light appeared in the iron house. Feeling the oil lamp above his head light up, Lin Chen felt a little dazed. Did he pass the level?
Except for the first level, the remaining two levels did not cause me any trouble.

"Are you disappointed?"

The back door of the iron house was pushed open, and Zhao Cangsheng's figure appeared there.

"I feel that... the second and third levels seem to be a little easier." Lin Chen answered truthfully.

"That's because you cleared the first level directly instead of passing it."

Zhao Cangsheng answered in his heart. Originally, the first level was to hold on for a hundred breaths, but who could have thought that Lin Chen would be able to cripple all eight bronze men.

Judging from the difficulty of persisting for a hundred breaths in the first level, the next two levels are more difficult than the first level. However, to cripple eight bronze men, it is much more difficult than the second and third levels.

It is understandable that Lin Chen would find it simple.

"For you now, the only place that can still hone your martial arts is the Martial Arts Mountain. I am going to take you there. As for the Martial Arts Mountain... there is also one there."

Zhao Cangsheng looked at Lin Chen with a smile: "As for the training resources, you have completed all the assessments. I have prepared all the reward resources for you in the special training ground."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen thought about it for a moment and then agreed.

"I'll give you one hour. After one hour, I'll be waiting for you in the mist at the special training ground."

Zhao Cangsheng left from the back door of the iron house. Lin Chen thought about it and felt that there didn’t seem to be anything he needed to prepare.

Apart from taking the Thousand Hammers Map back to the cabin, there was nothing else to take.

"It's better to say hello to Junior Brother Shen and the others before leaving."

……

……

"Brother Lin, are you leaving?"

Shen Ge, Yin Aosong and others were surprised when they heard that Lin Chen was leaving.

During this period, they were exhausted from the special training and had no energy to pay attention to other things. They also didn't know that Lin Chen had passed the three levels of assessment.

"Well, we have to leave here for a while. Junior brothers, you have to work hard. This time our special training ground may have a competition with the one next door."

Lin Chen revealed a piece of information. As for where the special training ground next door was, Shen Ge and others were able to guess it.

"Brother Lin, although we cannot compare with you, we have also been learning from you during this period and practicing with all our might."

Shen Ge smiled slightly. Originally in Qianshan County, as the top student of the new martial arts school, he practiced very hard, but more importantly, it was for the final county competition, in order to maintain his first place.

After seeing Senior Brother Lin’s attitude towards cultivation at the special training ground, he finally understood why Senior Brother Lin was able to catch up.

Senior Brother Lin’s practice of martial arts is not for ranking, but for the pure pursuit of martial arts.

Even if there were no county competition and no competition for first place, Senior Brother Lin would not stop his practice.

"Senior Brother Shen is right. We have learned a lot from Senior Brother Lin. If we can make a name for ourselves in martial arts in the future, it will be due to Senior Brother Lin." Yin Aosong said seriously.

"My fellow junior brothers, you are too polite. I am not a teacher, and I cannot provide you with resources for cultivation." Lin Chen smiled.

"Brother Lin, for us, sometimes the will in martial arts is more important than resources and guidance."

Shen Ge saw that Lin Chen didn't take it seriously and explained sincerely.

For students like them, their families have enough resources to support them to the point of entering the rank. As for guidance... in addition to teaching, there are also elders at home who have reached the rank and will pass on their cultivation experience to them.

"Okay, stop flattering me. I look forward to seeing my fellow apprentices shine in the special training ground when I return."

Lin Chen waved his hands. Shen Ge and others admired him so much, but it might not bring him much direct benefit.

But for the Lin family, the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Behind Shen Ge and his companions stood the top families in various counties of Raozhou Prefecture. In ten or even twenty years, these people would be the top warriors in Raozhou Prefecture.

Junior Brother Shen and his friends acknowledged this senior brother of theirs, so if they encountered any problems in the future, the Lin family would not be isolated and helpless.

Lin Chen chatted with Shen Ge and others for a few words, then left in a leisurely manner.

"Why did Senior Brother Lin leave the special training ground?" "It's impossible that he was expelled."

"Nonsense, of course he can't be expelled. What I mean is, is it possible that Senior Brother Lin has already passed all the assessments in the special training ground?"

"No... not really." Yin Aosong was a little unconfident. How long had passed? The entire special training had only started for half a month.

"If it's anyone else, it's definitely impossible, but if it's Senior Brother Lin, I can accept anything." Shen Ge smiled and gave a different opinion.

"Even if Senior Brother Lin leaves his name on Wudao Mountain, can you accept it?"

Shen Ge was startled: "Except this one!"

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Senior Brother Lin, but it’s too difficult to leave a name in Wudao Mountain.

……

……

Half an hour later, Lin Chen simply packed a few sets of clothes and hid the Thousand Hammers Diagram close to his body. During the special training, he had not read the Thousand Hammers Diagram yet.

Originally, the iron house was a good place to read the Thousand Hammers Map, but today, I had just passed the third level, and Senior Zhao wanted to take me to other places, so reading the Thousand Hammers Map had to be postponed.

"It's packed."

Zhao Cangsheng's figure appeared on time and Lin Chen nodded.

"Come with me."

Lin Chen followed Zhao Cangsheng, and when they walked out of the bamboo forest, Lin Chen saw an old man standing in front of them.

He had never seen this old man before.

However, he noticed that Senior Zhao frowned and looked dissatisfied after seeing the old man.

"You old thing, are you going to stop me?"

Zhao Cangsheng was unhappy. Was all his words yesterday in vain?

"Old Zhao, I don't mean to stop you, but the old marquis is gone, and you want to take Lin Chen to the Northern Frontier, I'm afraid you can't leave."

Swish!
Just as the white-haired old man finished speaking, Lin Chen witnessed for the first time the astonishing aura bursting out from Senior Zhao. He appeared in front of the white-haired old man like a ferocious beast at lightning speed.

"Bu Wenbin, how dare you curse the old marquis!"

Out of nowhere, a spear appeared in Zhao Cangsheng's hand. The spear was like a silver dragon, carrying a murderous aura. Even though the spear was not pointed at him, Lin Chen could feel a surge of murderous intent at this moment.

boom!
The spear was swung out, the air exploded, and the white-haired old man took several steps back.

"Old Zhao, why are you crazy? Do you think you are the only one who is suffering? I was also a member of the Hundred Man Battalion. This is a secret letter from the court, with the official seal of the Three Dukes!"

Bu Wenbin glared at Zhao Cangsheng, but Zhao Cangsheng said nothing. The spear in his hand was like a swimming dragon, firing one shot after another. The power of his spear forced Lin Chen to retreat dozens of feet.

"If you want to fight, I'll fight with you!"

A long spear also appeared in Bu Wenbin's hand. In the camp of a hundred people, everyone was practicing with spears!
But soon, the two figures disappeared in front of Lin Chen. It was obvious that the two men also knew that they could not start a fight in the valley.

After a cup of tea, Lin Chen was stunned when he saw the white-haired old man reappear in his sight. Senior Zhao had lost the fight.

Bu Wenbin knew what Lin Chen was wondering about, and said calmly, "Old Zhao and I were both soldiers under the old marquis. Now that the old marquis is gone, Old Zhao feels sad."

"Junior understands."

Looking at the white-haired old man with tattered clothes, Lin Chen responded tactfully.

He was somewhat curious about who this old marquis was.
According to the court system of Daliang, those who could be called marquis must be of the second rank or even higher.

"Old Zhao originally wanted to take you to the Northern Frontier, but now that the old marquis has passed away, there will be some turmoil in the Northern Frontier, and the demon tribe will definitely be eyeing it covetously. Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to take you to the Northern Frontier."

Bu Wenbin did not explain the old marquis's identity to Lin Chen. In a few days, when the court announced it to the public, Lin Chen would naturally know.

An old marquis of such status must be given a state funeral, and the court will also make the people of the country aware of his achievements.

"What is there to hide? The old marquis is the Marquis of Zhenbei, Daliang. He has guarded the northern border for generations. With just one man and one gun, the Snow Region Demon Clan dared not invade the border of Daliang."

Zhao Cangsheng's voice came from not far away. Lin Chen looked at Senior Zhao's red eyes and his face that had aged a lot in an instant. He knew in his heart that the relationship between the Marquis of Zhenbei and Senior Zhao was probably not ordinary, and it was not a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"Boy, the old marquis passed away, and I am going to the Northern Frontier to pay my respects. The old man is right. The current Northern Frontier is not suitable for you to go. I will leave the prescription for you in the bamboo house."

"Senior Zhao..."

Looking at Zhao Cangsheng's lonely back, Lin Chen couldn't help but speak.

"Boy, whether you want to follow the path of martial arts training proposed by my old friend or not, follow your own heart, and don't make a decision out of sympathy for me."

Zhao Cangsheng didn't look back and walked away in a very cool manner. However, Bu Wenbin cursed in his heart: Old man, you play such a sad trick before leaving.

"Lin Chen, you have now passed three levels, and even the Class A special training has been completed. Focus on the martial arts mountain."

"The disciple understands."

……

……

Raozhou Prefecture, Jiang Prefecture.

Jiang Duanchao sat alone in the courtyard, holding a document in his hand, without moving for a long time.

The stabilizing force of Daliang’s northern border!

He still remembered that after he passed the martial arts examination, he went to the northern border and the old man personally welcomed them, the new batch of martial arts candidates.

"My Daliang martial arts are flourishing, and there are successors!"

This was the kind and gentle old man in his eyes, who was very caring towards the younger generations like them, but he had a notorious reputation among the demon clan.

Hearing the name of the Marquis can make the little demon stop crying!

After a long time, Jiang Duanchao wiped the spear in his hand. With the passing of the old marquis, the demon clan and those countries were likely to become restless, and his spear was about to draw blood again.
