Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 154 Li Zhe's plan, Lin Chen's strategy

In the manure pool.

Lin Chen looked at the changes on the panel with anticipation in his eyes.

Every change in the panel will bring convenience to your martial arts practice.

Lin Chen stood up and climbed out of the manure pit, then walked towards the bamboo forest.

According to past rules, panel updates take time, and the longer the time, the greater the update.

He actually hoped that the panel could be updated throughout the day and night.

After returning to the bamboo forest, Lin Chen did not rush to sleep, but began to feel the flow of qi and blood in the acupoints in his body.

The fifteenth acupoint, Dragon's Back, is located on the back. When he practiced the exercises, he could clearly feel that when the Qi and blood passed through the Dragon's Back acupoint, his entire muscles trembled.

The true blood acupoint refining can not only transform more virtual blood into true blood, but also store these true blood in the four small acupoints associated with this acupoint.

Looking at the bamboo forest in front of him, Lin Chen's eyes lit up. The next moment, he kicked his right foot forward, and his body arched like a reverse bow, and crashed into the bamboo behind him.

Like a piece of dry wood and rotten wood, a piece of bamboo broke in the front waist.

"They say my sister's waist is not a waist, but a deadly knife. My back is not a back now, it is like a sharp blade."

He was very satisfied with this power!
……

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Lin Chen opened his eyes and called the panel immediately. What he didn't expect was that the panel had not yet finished updating.

Not updated yet?

It seems that there will be extremely big changes in the panel this time.

This is a good thing!

Although the panel did not reveal it, Lin Chen decided to go to Wudao Mountain to challenge those seniors.

After entering the fifteenth acupoint, my strength has improved, and I should be able to challenge the senior who has opened the ninth acupoint.

Just as he reached the iron gate deep in the valley, Lin Chen was stopped by Xue Yun.

"Junior Brother Lin, the instructors want to see you."

"it is good."

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that the person who came to see him was not the teacher, but the academician.

Just when Lin Chen was confused, Bu Wenbin said, "The Military Affairs Office sent a letter yesterday. This matter is related to you, so I decided to inform you."

Lin Chen waited quietly for what would happen next. He had a guess in his mind.

"According to the decision of the Jiangnan Dao Military Affairs Office, Xing Huaifeng, the Director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture, is not worthy of his position and has violated the teachings of the Director. He is therefore dismissed from his position as Director of the Military Affairs Department."

Xue Yun, who brought Lin Chen here, was surprised when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, this Junior Brother Lin was from Raozhou Prefecture, so was this Director Xing related to Junior Brother Lin?
its not right.

Even if Director Xing was wrong, Junior Brother Lin should not be implicated, as Junior Brother Lin's martial arts talent is not fake.

Why did Master Xuetai tell Junior Brother Lin about this?

"Disciple knows."

Lin Chen was not too surprised. As Master Tai said, Mr. Li went to the Wu Zheng Hall and smashed the cup in person for his own affairs.

With the reminder from Senior Yan, the matter ended with Xing Huaifeng being removed from the post of Director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture.

As for where Xing Huaifeng went after being removed from the position of director, the Military Affairs Department would not tell him.

When Bu Wenbin saw that Lin Chen did not look surprised, he knew in his heart that someone might have reminded Lin Chen about it.

As the academic supervisor of the special training ground, Jiang Kui reported to him about Lin Chen's experience on his journey home after returning, and told him the hidden story of Lin Chen's grandfather.

"Xue Yun, you should leave first."

"Yes."

When Xue Yun heard what the academician said, he knew that the academician must have something private to tell Lin Chen.

"Follow me."

After Xue Yun left, Bu Wenbin glanced at Lin Chen, then turned and walked towards the backyard of the conference room.

In the backyard, an old man was standing in the yard with his back to the gate.

"Mr. Director?"

Although it was only his back, Lin Chen recognized it as Lord Qiu at a glance.

"Lin Chen, are you surprised to see me here?" Qiu Rufeng turned around and looked at Lin Chen and asked with a smile.

"Disciple is indeed a little surprised."

Lin Chen nodded in acknowledgment. According to what Lord Su said, Lord Qiu had already gone to the Wu Zheng Hall. He didn't expect him to appear at the special training site.

Did you come here just for yourself?

"I think you should have guessed that I came to the special training ground this time just for you. There are some things I decided to tell you in person."

Qiu Rufeng seemed to know what Lin Chen was thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Just yesterday, the Martial Arts Department determined the method for selecting the model students of Jiangnan Dao. The Martial Arts Department will select a suitable opponent for each of you five, and the loser will be eliminated. If there is only one winner, he will be the model student of Jiangnan Dao. If there are two or more winners, the Martial Arts Department will arrange for the masters of martial arts halls in various places to nominate them publicly."

The so-called public nomination means voting.

The officials of the Wu Zheng Hall include the owners of martial arts schools from all over the country. Each of them has one vote, and the one with the most votes will be elected as a model for Jiangnan Dao students.

This selection method is quite fair.

Defeating the opponent only proves one's strength. As for whether someone will tamper with the subsequent public recommendation, Lin Chen doesn't care.

There has never been absolute fairness in this world. The fact that the Military Administration Department has been able to do this shows that it has taken all considerations into account.

I think in the eyes of the Military Administration Department, the simplest way is for each student to fight, and whoever wins will become a model for Jiangnan Dao students.

However, my realm is the most backward, so such an arrangement is a kind of care for myself.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Seeing Lin Chen's calm expression, Qiu Rufeng was a little surprised and couldn't help asking, isn't Lin Chen worried that the Li family will do something to their opponent?
Or will he rely on the Li family's connections to influence the final nomination?

"The selection method of the Military Affairs Office has taken a lot of consideration for disciples. I have no problem with it."

Qiu Rufeng looked at Lin Chen deeply. Lin Chen's answer was beyond his expectations. He actually accepted the selection method set by the Military Affairs Office.

It doesn't seem like Lin Chen has given up on being a model student of Jiangnan Dao. If he had given up, his tone wouldn't be so calm.

"After the Military Affairs Office decided on this matter yesterday, Li Zhe of Hongdu Prefecture personally suggested to the Director of Hongdu Prefecture that if there are multiple students who win, the students should suppress their realms to the same level to compete. This is fair and just."

Hearing Lord Qiu's words, Lin Chen's eyes sparkled, and the next moment a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Li Zhe made this suggestion not really for the sake of fairness.

Public recommendation is certainly beneficial to Li Zhe, but the Li family will inevitably have to pay some price in terms of favors. As for choosing to fight on the same level, it is only because Li Zhe has enough confidence in his own strength, and he believes that in a battle on the same level, they will not be his opponents.

Li Zhe must know that the Huo family is targeting him, and the Wu Zheng Hall's handling of Xing Huaifeng this time is also a warning to the Li family.

By doing this, Li Zhe not only saved the Li family, but at least restored his own image in the eyes of the bigwigs in the Wuzheng Hall.

He was walking on the path of extreme martial arts and already had a huge advantage over those at the same level. However, Li Zhe asked to fight with those at the same level, which not only represented his self-confidence but also represented his integrity.

If they were the officials in the Military Affairs Office, they would also have a very good impression of Li Zhe.

It is a brilliant move that not only saves the favor of the Li family but also helps to shape his own image.

"After Li Zhe made his suggestion, the Military Affairs Office discussed it and now has two options. One is to do as before and let the public nomination result take precedence. The other is to accept Li Zhe's suggestion and decide the result by a battle of the same realm."

Qiu Rufeng looked at Lin Chen. In his opinion, Lin Chen would choose the second option.

Although Li Zhe's suggestion has its purpose, it is indeed the most suitable for Lin Chen.

With the advantage of being an extreme warrior, it is still possible to defeat Li Zhe.

"Master Qiu, since Li Zhe can make a suggestion to the Military Affairs Office, can I also make a suggestion?"

If it was only the Military Affairs Office that had decided it, Lin Chen would not change it. But since Li Zhe could carry out his plan, why couldn't he?

"What do you suggest?" Qiu Rufeng asked. "If there are multiple students who win, the winners don't need to suppress their realm. Let us fight with all our strength."

A battle of suppressing realm would certainly be beneficial to him, but Lin Chen knew in his heart that Li Zhe must be aware that he was walking on the path of extreme martial arts, but he still dared to make such a suggestion, which meant he must be confident.

Qiu Rufeng's pupils shrank, and even Bu Wenbin, who was standing beside him, narrowed his old eyes and stared at Lin Chen, as if he wanted to see through Lin Chen's true thoughts.

"All-out battle?" Qiu Rufeng frowned. "Do you know that among the five of you, except for you and Li Zhe, the other three entered the martial arts hall a year earlier than you and have already entered the stage of training the internal organs. Even Li Zhe has opened twenty-four acupoints now, and he will be able to enter the stage of training the internal organs in three months at most."

"Don't put yourself in a disadvantageous position because of your impulsiveness."

In Qiu Rufeng's mind, Lin Chen made such a suggestion purely to target Li Zhe, and he would do anything to target Li Zhe.

The selection method that the Military Administration Hall had been brewing for a long time took into account Lin Chen's lower realm, and it could be said that it took Lin Chen into consideration.

If he brought Lin Chen's suggestion back to the Wu Zheng Hall, the officials there would probably have a very bad impression of Lin Chen. They would definitely think that Lin Chen had no intention of competing for the model student title, and that he made the suggestion just to get revenge on Li Zhe and to make sure Li Zhe had no chance.

"I have considered this carefully and did not act on impulse. However, I have a request that the final duel be held at the end of the year."

Lin Chen was naturally not acting on impulse. It was true that Li Zhe was ahead of him in realm, but his own destiny was beginning to take effect. Li Zhe might be able to break through to the internal organs within three months, so it was not impossible for him to do so as well.

Even if three months is not enough, you can definitely enter the realm of refining internal organs within half a year, and you can catch up with the gap in realm by yourself.

In comparison, the True Blood Refining that he was currently practicing required time to figure out. As for the students recommended by the other three prefectures, although they had already entered the stage of refining the internal organs, these three were just runners-up. I am afraid that they might not even be able to defeat the opponents arranged by the Military Affairs Office.

Qiu Rufeng stared at Lin Chen with eyes as sharp as torches. After a while, he spoke: "This is your proposal. I will report it to the Military Affairs Office, but I cannot guarantee whether the Office will accept it in the end."

In fact, Qiu Rufeng knew very well that as long as he informed the Wu Zheng Hall of Lin Chen's proposal, the Wu Zheng Hall would definitely agree.

Fighting with all your strength is always the fairest thing.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Chen's realm was relatively low, the Military Affairs Department would not have gone to so much trouble to think about the selection method. Now that Lin Chen had taken the initiative to propose it, there was no reason for the Military Affairs Department not to adopt it.

"Old Qiu?"

Bu Wenbin on the side couldn't help but speak up. Lin Chen's proposal was obviously the most disadvantageous to him. In his opinion, Lao Qiu should persuade Lin Chen. The young man is angry now, so if he is comforted by a few words, he will change his mind when he calms down.

Qiu Rufeng shook his head slightly. He knew what Bu Wenbin was going to say.

Originally, he wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Lin Chen's determined eyes, he knew that persuasion was useless. However, the real reason why he accepted Lin Chen's proposal was that he thought of the training records of Lin Chen in the martial arts hall and martial arts gym that his disciple brought over.

In Kaohe Town Martial Hall, Lin Chen came from behind and took first place in the martial arts hall.

He had read the description in the document. In just one month, Lin Chen's strength increased from 300 kilograms to 600 kilograms, until he finally developed his essence and energy. It was a miracle that he had accomplished this in one go.

The reason why it did not cause much shock was simply because the realm was too low.

In the martial arts world, there are too many methods that can allow a young man to develop his energy in just a few months. If he is willing to spend some money, it is not difficult to do it within a month.

Lin Chen probably has his own secrets.

This was Qiu Rufeng's judgment, but he did not intend to tell Bu Wenbin about this, even though he and Bu Wenbin had been friends for many years.

"Let's put aside the issue of being a model student of Jiangnan Dao for now. I have also heard from Director Bu about your performance in the special training ground. It is very good."

"Director Bu?"

Lin Chen was a little stunned. Isn’t this Mr. Xuetai?

"Xing Huaifeng is gone, but the Raozhou Prefecture Military Affairs Department cannot be without a director. The Military Affairs Department has decided to let Lord Bu serve as the director of the Raozhou Military Affairs Department."

Qiu Rufeng saw Lin Chen's surprised expression and started to explain with a smile.

He contributed behind the scenes to Bu Wenbin's appointment as the director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture. Not only was Bu Wenbin himself a seventh-rank warrior, but also because after the Xing Huaifeng incident, the Military Affairs Department was afraid that there would be more trouble in the future, so they also appointed Bu Wenbin as the director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture.

The relationship between him and Bu Wenbin was known to all the officials in the Military Affairs Office, just as they knew the relationship between Xing Huaifeng and Li Yuan.

Lin Chen is now training in the special training ground. Bu Wenbin, as the master of the special training ground, has an identical relationship with Lin Chen as the owner of a martial arts gym and his students.

With these two relationships, Bu Wenbin, as the director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture, will only protect Lin Chen.

If the Huo family dares to make another move, what awaits them will be the sharp sword of the Military Administration Department!

From this point of view, the Military Administration Department can be said to attach great importance to Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, you have to understand that the Wuzheng Hall is the Wuzheng Hall of Jiangnan Dao. It has to consider the entire Jiangnan Dao. You are a student of Jiangnan Dao, and so is Li Zhe. Don't think that the Wuzheng Hall favors anyone."

Qiu Rufeng reminded Lin Chen again, as he was afraid that Lin Chen might harbor hatred towards the Wu Zheng Hall.

"I understand. I have never blamed the Military Affairs Office."

Lin Chen immediately assured him, and his words were sincere. He really had never blamed the seniors in the Military Affairs Hall.

Senior Yan had already analyzed it with him. He had lived two lives as a human being and was not a simple boy as blank as a sheet of paper.

"Well, I hope you can figure it out."

Qiu Rufeng stroked his beard, and then a booklet appeared in his hand.

"I have not found out the origin of the bow you took from the treasury, but someone in the Military Affairs Office learned about it and asked me to give you this archery secret book."

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Chen took it with both hands and didn't rush to look through it.

"But is there anything else?"

"Disciple wants to know, Master Bu went to Raozhou Prefecture, what about the special training ground?"

"I will still be the academic supervisor of the special training ground until the next term is re-assigned. But what can I do for you?"

Bu Wenbin looked at Lin Chen with a smile. Although the academician and the director were of the same rank, the former was more likely to gain merits, which could be exchanged for the resources needed for cultivation.

At the beginning, he and Qiu Rufeng entered the seventh rank at the same time. Qiu Rufeng was able to enter the sixth rank before him because he had achieved more merits than himself as the director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture.

He knew clearly the purpose of arranging him to go to Raozhou Prefecture. To put it bluntly, it was to escort Lin Chen.

If you tell others that a seventh-rank warrior is protecting a smart kid like Lin Chen, no one would believe it.

Old Qiu thought that he had made great efforts, but he didn't know that on the day when Lin Chen left the special training ground and returned home, the Military Affairs Department sent a message asking him to report all of Lin Chen's performance in the special training ground.

I think those adults were also thinking about how to choose between Lin Chen and Li Zhe at that time, so they dealt with Xing Huaifeng so decisively and demoted him to the frontier, including asking him to go to Raozhou Prefecture. The document about Lin Chen's performance in the special training ground that I sent by express letter must have played a big role.

"What are the cultivation resources for disciples in the special training ground?" Lin Chen asked embarrassedly.

Even if you have a natural bonus in your destiny, if you want to break through quickly, you must also keep up with the consumption of resources.

"I will tell Chen Ping and the others that as long as you can absorb it, we will supply you with as much as you want."

Bu Wenbin laughed. He thought Lin Chen was going to make some request.

The thing that the special training ground has the most is resources. Lin Chen is only at the awakening stage, so how many resources can he use up?

However, Qiu Rufeng looked at Lin Chen meaningfully.

"I have to go back to the Military Affairs Office, so I won't stay any longer. It's been a busy time recently, and I have a lot of official business to attend to at the Military Affairs Office."

"Disciple will see you off, sir." Lin Chen said hurriedly.

"No need, just go and practice as you like."

Qiu Rufeng refused, and finally Bu Wenbin sent Qiu Rufeng away. Lin Chen also returned to the bamboo forest and began to look through the archery secret book in his hand.

As soon as he opened the first page of the secret book, Lin Chen couldn't help but his mouth twitched.

There are a few big words written on the first page: Don’t learn this method unless you are afraid of death.

The martial arts predecessors in Daliang all like to add some personal things to the secret books.

Lin Chen thought of the book "Essentials of True Blood Refining" and the book "True Explanation of Jiyuan Acupoints", which both contain similar words.

Therefore, except for the skills provided by the martial arts school which have no nonsense, other skills have this kind of words.

When he turned to the second page, Lin Chen finally understood why the senior said that only those who are afraid of death should not learn this method.

When he turned to the second page, Lin Chen finally understood that the fear of death mentioned by this senior was not the same as what he had imagined.

[Because of fear of death, the first arrow shot must take the enemy's life, and there will be no second arrow. ]

"This senior is also a clickbait title guy." Lin Chen couldn't help but mutter.

PS: Sorry, it took me a long time to write this, because I sorted out some suggestions from readers in the comments, and made some revisions to the comprehensive outline.
