Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 155 Perfect Enlightenment (Subscription Request)
[The arrow of greed for life and fear of death: the heart is as steady as a mountain, the eyes are as sharp as an eagle. 】

[No tricks, no mysteries, only the strength of the bowstring and the sharpness of the arrows, to defeat the enemy from a thousand steps away. The arrow will hit the target, and the one who hits will die, so it is called "cowardly life and afraid of death" - those who are greedy for life will kill the enemy, and those who are afraid of the enemy's survival will seek accuracy. ]

……

……

After reading the book, Lin Chen finally understood why Lord Qiu gave him this archery secret book.

This archery method also has requirements for the bowstring.

According to this senior, the cowardly archery method has certain requirements for the bowstring, which needs to be made of the tendons of monsters, so that it can be shot far, and the tendons of dragons and sharks are the best.

Although the string of his Snake Shadow Bow was not made of the tendons of dragons or sharks, it met the most basic requirements.

Below the entry level, the average archer will not exceed five hundred steps.

The one step here refers to the maximum distance taken in one step. Lin Chen calculated that one step is about 1.6 meters, and five hundred steps is close to two miles.

One arrow can hit two miles, which is the longest distance that warriors below the entry level can shoot arrows, while ordinary hunters can only shoot within fifty steps.

There are seven moves in the cowardly archery technique.

The first three moves are close shots, while the last three are long shots, with a distance of up to a thousand steps, and the last move... The senior did not talk about it in detail, but simply named it Broken Bow.

According to what the senior said, once you learn the first six moves, you will understand the meaning of Broken Bow.

Remembering the method of using the arrow of fear of death, Lin Chen picked up the Snake Shadow Bow again, used both hands to draw the bow slowly, and then put the arrow on it...

call out!
This time, the arrow did not explode in the air. Instead, it broke through three bamboos with a bang and finally stopped after sinking into the fourth bamboo.

Seeing the power of the arrow, Lin Chen's mouth twitched. The power was indeed not bad. At least according to the arrow technique of the Cowardly Arrow, he could control the Snake Shadow Bow.

But the accuracy was too off. He was clearly aiming at a stone beside the bamboo forest, but he shot at a bamboo three feet away.

The training of the cowardly arrow is a long process. According to what the senior said, the first step is to practice accuracy, to the point where you can hit whatever you point at.

But before he could improve his accuracy, he had to lay a solid foundation.

The first basic chapter of [The Arrow of Fear of Death]: The Secret of Stability.

I pull the bow a thousand times every day, but the bowstring is full but never shoots.

Your arms must be as steady as iron, so that they will not move when wind blows through your clothes, and will not tremble when a mosquito lands between your eyebrows.

There are three basic chapters, which are divided into the "stable" formula, the "accurate" formula and the "ruthless" formula.

These three chapters are the foundation of all archery techniques in the world.

There is no trick, only practice.

……

……

Hongdu Prefecture.

In a simple and ancient mansion.

"It seems that Lin Chen has given up. He knows that he can't compete for the model student, so he wants to drag Senior Brother Li down with him."

In the yard, a man in fancy clothes spoke with a smile, and there were two young girls beside him. All three of them looked at the shirtless boy in front of them.

There was a look of intoxication in the eyes of the two girls. They were attracted by the third-generation genius of the Li family, both because of his background and his own strength.

"How could the Martial Arts Office agree to this? Isn't this too unfair to Senior Brother Li? The students recommended by the other three prefectures have been in the martial arts school for two years."

"I also think it's inappropriate for the Military Affairs Department to agree to Lin Chen's request. It must be the people from Raozhou Prefecture who did something wrong."

"Two junior sisters, stop talking nonsense."

Li Zhe turned around and looked at the three people sitting in the pavilion: "Since the Wuzheng Hall has made such an arrangement, there must be a deep meaning. And since we are competing for the model of Jiangnan Dao students, we must have the strength to match it."

"Brother Li, we are not questioning the Military Administration Office, we just think this is unfair to you."

"Yes, if those three people suppress their strength and are at the same level as you, Senior Brother Li, we will not say a word."

Li Zhe walked back to the courtyard. The two women moved their bodies attentively and left the seats beside them vacant, hoping that Li Zhe could sit next to them.

Li Zhe glanced at the two girls, but sat steadily between them and said with a smile: "For me, being a model student of Jiangnan Dao is nothing. I don't need to rely on this title to prove myself. The reason why I stood up to fight for it was because of the influence of the owner and the director."

The two girls in the court looked curious: "Brother Li, did the director ask you to fight for it?"

"It's not every year that a Jiangnan Dao student is named a model. Once a prefecture has a student who is rated as a model, the Martial Arts Department will definitely allocate martial arts resources to that prefecture. The hall owner and the director hope that I can consider the students of Hongdu Prefecture and strive for these extra resources."

"It turns out that Senior Brother Li did this for our Hongdu Prefecture. All the students in Hongdu Prefecture have to thank Senior Brother Li." The young girl on the left had a look of admiration on her face.

"If it was just this reason, I would not have planned to stand up, because both the students from Raozhou Prefecture and my Hongdu Prefecture are students from Jiangnan Dao, it's just a matter of who benefits more. It was another sentence from several adults later that made me change my mind."

Seeing the curious looks of the two girls, Li Zhe said in a deep voice: "The model of Jiangnan Dao students. Once a student wins this honor, the eyes of other sects will also be cast on him, and they may even challenge him. If Lin Chen wins this honor, how will other sects view us Jiangnan Dao students? If someone takes the opportunity to challenge us, how will we deal with it?"

"I don't care about being a model student of Jiangnan Dao. Since Lin Chen has made such a proposal, it is just what I want. If those three brothers can defeat me, it will prove that their strength is superior to mine. Then, when faced with provocations from other students of the Dao, they will be able to fight back effectively."

After hearing what Li Zhe said, the two girls' eyes shone with surprise. Only a senior brother Li like this was worthy of their admiration, so what was Lin Chen?

"I heard that this time the Li family of Quzhou Prefecture even went to the Military Administration Hall because of Lin Chen. I really don't know how Lin Chen managed to get close to the Li family."

“Junior sister, you don’t know this.” The man in fancy clothes smiled slightly, “The Li family in Quzhou has fallen into decline. I guess Mr. Li wants to find a live-in grandson-in-law for his granddaughter. Maybe he has chosen Lin Chen, after all, Raozhou Prefecture and Quzhou Prefecture are adjacent.”

"That's true. I also heard the elders in my family talking about it. The Quzhou Li family must have taken a fancy to Lin Chen, so they stood up for him."

"Hmph, if that's the case, then it makes sense. The poor boy who was born as the son of a fisherman, although his identity is true, I'm afraid the Li family has secretly given Lin Chen the resources to practice long ago. I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Li family actually likes fishing..."

"Don't gossip about others behind their backs. We warriors should be upright and honest. Only those who are upright and honest can go far in the martial arts world. Those who engage in conspiracy and intrigue are just small fry after all."

Li Zhe interrupted the discussion of the three people and looked at their admiring eyes with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Xing Huaifeng's inappropriate handling of matters affected the reputation of the Li family and himself, but when he proposed a battle of suppressing the realm, he reversed this reputation.

Lin Chen proposed to fight with all his strength because he thought that since he couldn't get the model of Jiangnan Dao student, he didn't want to get it himself.

It's just that he underestimated himself.

Although those three have already practiced Zang, their strength is not outstanding. As long as you step into the practice Zang realm, it will not be difficult to defeat those three.

What's more, there are the opponents arranged by the Wu Zheng Hall for the three people. It is not certain whether they can defeat the opponents arranged by the Wu Zheng Hall.

Lin Chen's move can only end up shooting himself in the foot.

He glanced at the two junior sisters beside him. Their family backgrounds were no worse than that of the Huo family. The Huo family couldn't even do such a small thing. He could reconsider his marriage with Huo Shu.

……

……

Special training ground.

Lin Chen stood a hundred steps away. Water was dripping from under the eaves of the bamboo house, and there were several copper basins placed underneath.

The moment the water drops fell, Lin Chen drew the bow and put the arrow on it in one go.

call out!
A bright light burst out and passed under the eaves. The moment the arrow was shot, Lin Chen also jumped up and ran straight under the eaves.

The water surface in the copper basin directly below was motionless.

Lin Chen had a smile on his face, but when he saw the six copper basins beside him, only three of them had rippling water on the surface, while the other three were motionless, he frowned again.

The second level of the chapter on the accuracy of the cowardly arrow is to shoot the arrow from a hundred steps into the water, with the arrow piercing through the water droplets and splitting into six pieces.

This requires not only accuracy, but also extremely meticulous observation.

The stable part is easy to practice, but the accurate part is difficult.

Lin Chen sighed. The trajectory of the falling water droplets could still be predicted. According to the two levels of accuracy set by the predecessor, the first level was to identify the position by hearing the sound and practice archery at night to reach the level of [blind bow shooting].

This level is not difficult for Lin Chen, as his five senses are far superior to those of ordinary warriors. However, the second level, "Observing Patterns in Water Droplets", tests the accuracy control at the micro level.

He is now stuck at this second level.

For four consecutive days, he could only knock down the water droplets, but he could not control the water droplets to split into six petals.

"Give yourself three months to achieve this."

Even with the senior's accurate formula, it is still not easy to break through this level.

Just as Lin Chen was about to continue trying, the hand that was bending over to hold the arrow suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked at the panel that appeared automatically with a light in them.

After four days, the panel was finally updated.

It took so long to successfully update, he wanted to see what kind of surprise the panel would give him this time.

[The host's cultivation system has been detected to have triggered the perfect level, and the perfect level guidance panel is now open]

[Host: Lin Chen]

【境界：完美开窍境（1/24）：(70/400)】【境界：极限开窍境（15/24）:(70/400)】（可转化）
[Host, please replenish your Qi and blood. Host, please replenish your Qi and blood...]

Lin Chen focused his mind on (convertible), and a prompt appeared on the panel.

Prepare enough resources for cultivation?
Staring at the line of text, Lin Chen pondered for a moment and understood the meaning of the panel prompt.

The perfect level of enlightenment must be more difficult than the extreme level of enlightenment, and even more powerful. Since it is more powerful, it means that more qi and blood are required.

I'm afraid that the Qi and blood in my 15 extreme enlightenment levels are not enough to transform into perfect enlightenment levels, and I need to replenish more Qi and blood.

"Fortunately, we are in a special training area, otherwise I wouldn't dare to transform so easily."

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen put away the Snake Shadow Bow and walked out of the bamboo forest.

……

……

"Medicinal herbs, monster meat?"

Min Huanbo was a little surprised to hear Lin Chen's request. The special training ground provided the trainees with sufficient medicinal liquids and monster meat every day, so Lin Chen would naturally not be short of them.

"The disciple wants more."

Min Huanbo pondered for a moment. He had also heard about the example of Jiangnan Dao martial arts students. He immediately advised, "The training ground is indeed not short of resources, but the resources that each martial artist can absorb are limited. If the body cannot refine the energy of medicinal herbs and monster meat, and if too much of it accumulates in the body, it will block the meridians and acupoints, making it more difficult to open the acupoints and break through later."

For Min Huanbo, he is not stingy with the resources. The resources are provided by the Military Affairs Department and are not his personal property.

He was afraid that Lin Chen would be stimulated by the competition among Jiangnan Dao martial arts students and would try desperately to improve his own strength, but as the saying goes in martial arts practice, more haste makes waste.

Lin Chen has met the requirements for being an A-class student, and can use the resources in the special training ground freely without any upper limit. This was also what the academic master had instructed before he left.

Listening to Instructor Min's words, Lin Chen frowned. This was the first time that the panel proactively reminded him that he lacked resources. There was no problem of excessive accumulation of medicinal power in the body and blocking the meridians.

But he couldn't tell Teacher Min directly.

"Master Min, how can we prove that our disciples have completely absorbed the essence, without any waste or blockage in their meridians?"

"That's simple. The mucus in the manure pit can repair injuries. Blockage of meridians is also a kind of injury. Apply the mucus to your body. If the mucus is not absorbed, it proves that your body has not been injured."

"The disciple is willing to apply the mucus. If the mucus is absorbed, the disciple will stop absorbing it."

Min Huanbo didn't expect that Lin Chen was still unwilling to give up. Looking at Lin Chen's determined eyes, he sighed in his heart. Well, just give Lin Chen a try.

With Lin Chen's talent, it's okay to waste some resources.

"With this token, you can go to the treasury to collect elixirs, liquid medicine, and monster meat. But remember, if the mucus is absorbed three times in a row, don't continue. The mucus can repair injuries, but it can't completely restore your meridians that are blocked by the medicine."

"You still have a long way to go on the road of martial arts. Don't risk your health just to gain a short-term advantage."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will not take any risks with my body."

Lin Chen knew that Instructor Min cared about him. Otherwise, if it were another instructor, he would want him to improve his realm as quickly as possible. As for whether there would be any hidden dangers to his body, by that time he would have left the special training ground long ago and would no longer have anything to do with Instructor Min.

Holding the token, Lin Chen quickly went to the treasury.

The treasury of the special training ground was not as heavily guarded as the military administration department. There was only a middle-aged man guarding it. After seeing the token presented by Lin Chen, he directly opened the door: "You are the first person in the past five years who is allowed to enter and exit the treasury at will. Take whatever you want."

"I want to improve my Qi and blood, could you recommend something?"

Lin Chen did not take the initiative to take it, but asked the middle-aged man for advice.

"Increase Qi and blood?"

Yang Jin pondered. For students at this stage, the resources prepared in the special training ground are almost all for increasing Qi and blood. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you want to quickly increase Qi and blood, the elixir should be the Red Blood Pill."

"Sir, I want the Red Blood Pill."

"In the first room, push open the door and the fifth cabinet will contain the Red Blood Pill. But you must remember that although the Red Blood Pill can increase Qi and blood the fastest, at your level, you can only take one pill within seven days. The Qi and blood contained in one pill is enough for you to digest for seven days."

"it is good."

Lin Chen pushed open the door of the first room and quickly found the Red Blood Pill in the fifth cabinet on the shelf.

Bottles of Red Blood Pills were packed in a wooden box. Lin Chen counted them and found there were thirty bottles in total.

Lin Chen kept half of it and put the remaining fifteen bottles directly into his arms. After thinking for a while, he saw the Zhiqiao Pills on the shelf next to him and took out another ten bottles.

When he went out, Lin Chen thanked Yang Jin.

"How many bottles did you take away?"

Watching Lin Chen leaving with a bulge in his arms, Yang Jin returned to the house. When he saw only half of the Red Blood Pill left, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Is this kid going to eat the Red Blood Pills as candy? How can he waste it like this?"

Yang Jin couldn't stand it anymore. He was not afraid that Lin Chen would take the opportunity to take away the resources of the special training ground. Every student would be checked throughout the body before leaving, and there was no question of taking anything away.

It would be a waste, but if you take too much of this red blood pill, it will damage your meridians.

"Brother Yang, don't worry."

Just as Yang Jingang was about to catch up, Min Huanbo's figure appeared in front of the courtyard gate.

"Don't worry, do you know how many bottles of Red Blood Pills Lin Chen took?"

"Even if it's emptied, he has to move. The master of the school said before he left that the cultivation resources of the special training ground are open to Lin Chen."

Yang Jin was stunned, then cursed: "Min Huanbo, what do you mean, I can't bear to part with these red blood pills?"

"Brother Yang, I know you are worried that Lin Chen taking too many Red Blood Pills will cause blockages in his meridians and affect his subsequent martial arts practice. I have already made an agreement with Lin Chen on this matter..."

Faced with the furious Yang Jin, Min Huanbo had no choice but to repeat his previous conversation with Lin Chen, and also mentioned the dispute over the model among the students of Jiangnan Dao.

"What the hell is going on? Is it necessary for a model student to risk his life like this?"

Min Huanbo also smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I will watch secretly and will not let Lin Chen get into trouble."

……

……

Three days later.

Min Huanbo went to the bamboo forest. In his opinion, no matter how crazy Lin Chen was, he would at most take two or three Red Blood Pills a day. He would arrive three days later at just the right time. According to this time, Lin Chen's meridians would be blocked.

However, when Min Huanbo saw Lin Chen soaking in the big vat with his eyes closed, and then saw several empty bottles and cans on the ground, his eyes widened.

You are risking your life. You really eat the Red Blood Pills as candy beans. Aren't you afraid that your brain will be filled with blood and your body will explode and you will die?

Min Huanbo didn't care about anything else and quickly appeared in front of the tank.

"Instructor Min is here?"

Lin Chen opened his eyes and stood up from the vat on his own initiative. The mucus around his body stuck to his skin like yellow mud.

"You... don't tell me that you applied this mucus before taking the Red Blood Pill."

"When I came out of the treasury that day, I went to the manure pit. This was applied three days ago." Lin Chen grinned, revealing a row of white teeth that were extremely conspicuous among the mucus all over his body.

There was still doubt in Min Huanbo's eyes. He reached out and grabbed Lin Chen's arm. Lin Chen felt a force passing from his arm into his whole body.

After three breaths, Min Huanbo let go of Lin Chen's arm, his eyes sparkling.

"How many bottles of Red Blood Pills did you take?"

"I have taken them all, but I still feel it is not enough." Lin Chen said with a wry smile. He did not expect that fifteen bottles of Red Blood Pills would not be enough.

"Wait, I'll get it for you."

Min Huanbo appeared and disappeared quickly. He didn't know how Lin Chen did it, but he was sure that there was no blockage in Lin Chen's meridians.

All the energy and blood contained in the Red Blood Pill were absorbed.

He no longer cared how Lin Chen did it. Since Lin Chen could absorb it, he would just absorb it.

For the special training ground, is Lin Chen’s resources still insufficient?

In the past, after each student left, the regretful words that the teachers always said were: "The things in the treasure house are getting more and more."

Min Huanbo went straight into the treasury and took away the remaining Red Blood Pills and the box. He did not dare to take other pills. Since Lin Chen could absorb the medicinal effects of the Red Blood Pills so quickly, he only gave him the Red Blood Pills.

If there are not enough red blood pills, go get other pills.

"Min Huanbo, what are you going to do?"

Yang Jin watched Min Huanbo hurriedly enter the treasury, leave with the wooden box in his arms, and roared behind him.

"Brother Yang, I'll explain it to you later."

"Wait a minute, I want to see what you are up to."
