Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 157 Jiang Qing: Junior Brother Lin, you look so humble that you deserve a beating

[Ten points of enlightenment: Wei Kaogong of Qi Nanfu, Dongxingdao in the 83rd year of Daliang calendar.]

On the steps, another senior figure appeared, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, Lin Chen couldn't believe that this was a young man.

Too mature.

To use a phrase from later generations to describe him, he was already a man of few ideas at such a young age.

Although he was a little surprised, Lin Chen did not slow down and took action almost the moment that Senior Wei appeared.

His figure was like a swimming dragon, and under the palm shadows all over the sky, Senior Wei could only parry again and again.

Thirty breaths later!

The other party's figure disappeared, and Lin Chen clasped his fists and saluted from a distance.

[The gap is five orifices. If the conditions are met, the Qi and Blood Furnace will be granted for thirty breaths. ]

The warm feeling arrived as promised, making Lin Chen almost moan in comfort.

[Vitality value: 600000/1500000]

……

……

Northern Xinjiang.

"Since the old marquis's funeral, the young marquis has been going to Wudao Mountain every day. Old Zhao, the young marquis is close to you. Please persuade the young marquis. This cannot go on."

"When I left Northern Frontier, the young marquis was only five years old. How could he remember me?"

Zhao Cangsheng smiled and shook his head. When he was following the old marquis in the military camp, the young marquis liked to let him carry him on his back the most. If it weren't for his old friend's last wish, he would never leave Northern Frontier in his life.

"How could I not remember? The young marquis often mentioned you, Old Zhao, in front of us. Anyway, I'll try to persuade him later."

"let me try."

A quarter of an hour later, the gate of the courtyard opened, and a burly young man with his upper body naked walked out. Although it was a cold place, the young man was like a furnace. Just by looking at him, one could feel the warmth.

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"

When the young man saw Zhao Cangsheng standing not far away, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Young Marquis still remembers me."

"Uncle Zhao, I still remember when I was a kid, I was naughty and my father wanted to beat me, but you carried me over the wall and escaped."

Xiao Yaojin's words made Zhao Cangsheng blush. He didn't expect that the young marquis still remembered this matter. He explained: "It's also because the marquis couldn't bear it, otherwise I wouldn't be able to carry the young marquis away."

The Marquis was already at the fourth level at the time, while I was only at the seventh level. If the Marquis really wanted to beat the young Marquis, how could I possibly take the young Marquis away with me?

"If Uncle Zhao doesn't carry me, I will definitely get beaten anyway."

Xiao Yaojin naturally knew that his father didn't really want to beat him at that time. The appearance of Zhao Bo just gave his father a way out.

"Young Marquis, haste makes waste in the martial arts world. This martial arts mountain..."

After chatting about the past for a while, Zhao Cangsheng thought of the previous instructions of his companions and started to persuade them. However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Yaojin interrupted him with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Uncle Zhao, I once promised my grandfather that I would let him see me leave my name on Wudao Mountain."

Hearing the young marquis' words, Zhao Cangsheng also sighed. He finally understood why the young marquis had not yet practiced dirty martial arts given his talent for martial arts and the resources of his family.

The young marquis wanted to reach the state of awakening and leave his name on the Martial Arts Mountain.

"Young Marquis's words reminded me of a young man I met in Jiangnan Road not long ago. However, my goal for him is to be able to stand three points away on the Martial Arts Mountain."

Feeling the sadness in the young marquis' eyes, Zhao Cangsheng changed the subject.

"Did Zhao Bo find a warrior who can practice your theory?"

Xiao Yaojin's attention was indeed attracted, with curiosity in his eyes. Zhao Bo was his grandfather's personal soldier and was supposed to stay in the Northern Frontier. However, twelve years ago, Zhao Bo left the Northern Frontier military camp. He also learned the reason for his departure from his father.

A good friend of Zhao Bo traveled to several countries and created a theory of luck. However, after his father saw it, he thought that Zhao Bo's friend was too whimsical.

This method of relying only on Dantian's luck is too taken for granted.

"That guy might be able to do it. I've also thought it through. If it doesn't work this time, I'll just give up. That will be worthy of my old friend."

"The martial arts in Daliang are flourishing. Every once in a while, a martial arts genius will appear in the world. Maybe you will meet one, Zhao Bo." Xiao Yaojin said with a comforting smile.

Zhao Cangsheng naturally knew that the young marquis was just saying nice things to comfort him, so he smiled and said, "Although that boy is not bad, he is still far inferior to the young marquis. I just wanted to give it one last try, regardless of whether it will work or not."

"If someone likes Zhao Bo, he must be good. What's the name of that genius?"

"How can I mention genius in front of the young marquis? The boy's name is Lin Chen, but his martial arts experience is a bit peculiar. If the young marquis is interested, I will tell him about it."

"Okay." Xiao Yaojin nodded. He naturally knew that Uncle Zhao wanted to help him get over the sadness of his grandfather's death, and he did not refuse Uncle Zhao's kindness.

"After I left Northern Frontier, I went to several places. In the end, I went to a place because of an old friend, Tai Rubai... Young Marquis, you may not know that Tai Rubai was also a soldier under the old Marquis. This old guy later became a schoolmaster in Jiangnan Road..."

After a cup of tea, Xiao Yaojin pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Zhao, you are not here to comfort me, you are here to attack me."

"Why do you say that, young marquis?"

"The Lin Chen you mentioned was born as a fisherman's son, but he was able to win first place in the martial arts hall and first place in the county competition. As a young marquis, I enjoy so many training resources, but I can't even get first place in the martial arts hall."

"How can they be the same? Young Marquis, you have never taken it. It is you who do not want to take it."

Xiao Yaojin didn't respond. He was really not interested in martial arts competitions or county competitions. From the moment he embarked on the path of martial arts, his first goal was to leave his name on the martial arts mountain.

But even now, I have opened twenty-four points of consciousness, but I still haven't achieved it.

Even if he is in the suppression realm, he only has three months left, and after three months he will definitely enter the internal organs training realm.

When the Qi and blood in the body reach their limit, they will circulate autonomously to refine the five internal organs.

"If there is a chance, Uncle Zhao can bring Lin Chen to meet me."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Zhao Cangsheng's old face. It seemed that the young marquis was indeed interested in Lin Chen. If Lin Chen caught the young marquis's eye, he would have no problem coming to Northern Frontier in the future.

Xiao Yaojin looked at the smile on Zhao Cangsheng's face, and a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was indeed somewhat interested in Lin Chen, but the reason he wanted to meet him was more for Zhao Bo's sake.

……

……

In the martial arts mountains.

"Senior, thank you for letting me!"

Lin Chen clasped his fists and watched another senior disappear.

By now, he has already reached the thirteenth acupoint, and with the help of the Qi and Blood Furnace, the upper limit of Qi and blood in his body has reached an astonishing two million.

Lin Chen did not continue the challenge. Although the Furnace of Heaven and Earth only increased the upper limit of his Qi and blood and did not change his Qi and blood value, after enjoying the Furnace of Heaven and Earth for a hundred breaths in a row, he felt that the Qi and blood in his body were running madly towards the sixteenth acupoint.

At the same time, I suddenly felt a sense of hunger in my body.

As the upper limit of Qi and blood value increases, does my Qi and blood also need to increase?
Lin Chen came down from Wudao Mountain and went to the treasure house again.

"Sir, what do you want to increase your Qi and blood?"

"Go get it yourself."

Yang Jin was already numb and simply didn't care. Lin Chen walked into the yard. This time he was not as crazy as before. He just took a few bottles of pills and finally turned into the cellar on the side of the yard. He carried the thigh of an unknown monster out of the ice cave.

Since you're hungry, you need to eat some meat.

"Sir, I'm leaving now."

"Go."

Yang Jin looked at the monster meat on Lin Chen's shoulders. Wow, twenty kilograms of red flame rhinoceros meat. If it were any other student, he would have slapped him. He was not afraid of eating too much. But when he thought about Lin Chen swallowing thirty bottles of red blood pills in one day, twenty kilograms of red flame rhinoceros meat was nothing.

The bamboo forest was filled with the aroma of meat.

Outside the bamboo forest, Min Huanbo and six other instructors were also standing there, smelling the aroma of meat wafting from the bamboo forest, and they didn't know what to say.

"Junior Brother Min, are you sure Lin Chen really swallowed thirty bottles of Red Blood Pills in one day?"

"Brother Chen, not only am I sure, Brother Yang can also confirm it, and the Red Blood Pill in the treasury is indeed gone, this can't be fake."

Min Huanbo knew, of course, that Senior Brother Chen and the other four would not believe it, so he took them to the treasure house. As a result, he learned from Senior Brother Yang that Lin Chen had carried away another leg of red-flame rhinoceros meat, so they hurried over.

"That's really strange. Logically speaking, even if Lin Chen could really absorb so much of the Red Blood Pill's medicinal effect, he shouldn't have only broken through one orifice."

If the medicinal effects of so many Red Blood Pills were accumulated together, they would be enough to awaken a warrior to twenty orifices.

"Regarding this point, my judgment is that Lin Chen is on the path of extreme martial arts. Every time he breaks through an acupoint, the blood and qi required is much higher than that of other martial artists. In addition, there is Senior Zhao's shocking training method. Therefore, Lin Chen's situation cannot be inferred by common sense."

Min Huanbo's inference was recognized by others.

They could only acknowledge it, otherwise it could not explain why Lin Chen swallowed so many Red Blood Pills but had no meridians blocked but only one acupoint opened.

"Why think so much? No matter what, the stronger Lin Chen is, the higher his chances of winning the duel with the other side." An instructor snorted, "As for why Lin Chen is different from other warriors, let those adults worry about it."

Makes sense!
……

……

In the bamboo forest, Lin Chen naturally had no idea that Min Huanbo and the six instructors had discussed his situation. At this moment, he was devouring the monster meat in big mouthfuls, and his entire stomach was as warm as a stove.

After eating half of the demon leg, the feeling of hunger disappeared.

Lin Chen glanced at the panel and saw changes in the Qi and Health column.

[650000/2000000]

Since the panel was changed, the Qi and Health values have also changed in real time.

"Perhaps it's not the panel update that caused the Qi and blood to change in real time, but the Qi and blood in my body are running much faster than before. In addition, due to the increase in true blood, the digestion speed of both elixirs and monster meat is much faster than before."

Lin Chen had made a judgment in his mind. After the demon leg was completely swallowed and he felt the surging blood in his body, he stood up without hesitation and began to practice the Wind and Cloud Palm.

The next moment, in the bamboo forest, there were bursts of sounds of wind and thunder, and the palm shadows in the sky were like clouds, floating in the entire open space in the bamboo forest.

boom!
After a long time, another explosion sounded from Lin Chen's spine, and the last of the three acupoints on his spine was finally opened.

Sixteen points of enlightenment!

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and poured out a pill.

Tongqiao Pill!
After the last county competition, he got two Tongqiao Pills, but a warrior can only take three, and taking more will be ineffective. Taking Tongqiao Pills at this time is the most cost-effective time.

After the pill entered his stomach, his qi and blood, which had just calmed down, began to surge again.

Lin Chen did not use the Wind and Cloud Palm this time. Instead, his figure flashed and he kept moving through the bamboo forest like a hurricane. The seventeenth acupoint is on the leg, and using the Hurricane Kick is more effective than the Wind and Cloud Palm.

……

……

Another special training site in Jiangnan Road.

Jiang Qing looked at the letter sent back by her mother, her pretty face frosty.

Huo family!

Putting down the letter, Jiang Qing quietly walked out of the room where she lived and headed towards where the other students were.

A quarter of an hour later, all the students in the special training ground were shocked when they saw Huo Tong, who was covered in blood and in a horrible state, and the graceful figure who disappeared gracefully.

This Senior Sister Jiang is really ruthless.

The reason for the attack was... also irrefutable, it was just because Huo Tong glanced at her and made her very unhappy.

He really beat Huo Tong and didn't even bother to hide it.

The students present were not fools. They knew that Senior Sister Jiang was just looking for an excuse to beat Huo Tong up. When Senior Sister Jiang came over just now, everyone took a look, but Huo Tong was the one who suffered.

The most important thing is that the teachers were indifferent, as if they didn’t see anything.

After beating Huo Tong, Jiang Qing did not return to the small house where she lived, but went to the academician.

"Uncle Xu, just let me go."

Jiang Qing had the look of a little girl, none of her previous cool and elegant look.

"Xiao Qing, it's not that uncle disagrees, it's just that this is against the rules. You are making me, Xu uncle, make a mistake."

"Uncle Xu, this is not a mistake. I just want to understand the strength of the students over there so that I can prepare for the competition."

Jiang Qing smiled brightly with two dimples: "Uncle Xu, my father seemed to have brought back a few pots of Qiu Dao wine last time."

"Three pots!" Xu Li spoke instantly and stretched out three fingers.

"Uncle Xu, you are really good at talking. One pot at most."

"Xiao Qing, Uncle Xu is the schoolmaster, so I can't be the first to violate the rules." Xu Li shook his head: "At least two pots."

"can."

Jiang Qing didn't continue bargaining. She didn't specify how big the pot should be anyway, so she just divided the original pot of wine into two small pots.

"Haha, if it was anyone else, I, your Uncle Xu, would definitely not agree, but since you, Xiaoqing, asked me to do you this favor, go find Instructor Jiang and ask her to take you there."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Looking at Jiang Qing's departing back, Xu Li narrowed his eyes slightly and went to the special training ground next door to find out about the opponent's strength. He didn't believe a word of what she said.

Thinking about how Jiang Qing had beaten Huo Tong, and some controversial events that had happened in the Jiangnan Military Affairs Hall not long ago, he had made a judgment in his mind.

Jiang Qing was venting her anger on behalf of the student named Lin Chen!
The Huo family did such a thing, and Huo Tong deserved to be beaten.

Compared to Huo Tong getting beaten, he was more curious about the relationship between Jiang Qing and the student named Lin Chen.

"Should I tell Junior Brother Jiang about this?"

Just as Xu Li was hesitating, Jiang Qing's figure came back.

"Xiaoqing, what else?"

"Uncle Xu, I just got impulsive and beat Huo Tong. You won't punish me, will you?"

The corner of Xu Li's mouth twitched. He had punished her last time if he wanted to. The little girl seemed to have some hidden meaning in her words.

"If I wanted to punish you, I would have done it a long time ago. You are asking questions even though you already know the answer. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jiang Qing's eyes were cunning. "Uncle Xu, my father was very strict with me. If he knew that I beat someone up in the special training ground, he would definitely punish me. Uncle Xu wouldn't want to see his niece being punished."

Xu Li understood that this girl was trying to ask him not to tell Junior Brother Jiang that she was going to see Lin Chen.

"Well..." Xu Li stroked his beard and did not agree immediately.

"Uncle Xu, I remember the last time you drank with my father, you seemed to have mentioned something about Junior Sister Wanru..."

"I promise you!"

Xu Li interrupted Jiang Qing directly, looking at the little girl's cunning eyes, he felt helpless, thinking that he had been caught by this little girl.

Men, when they drink too much, always reminisce about the past and can't help bragging a bit.

He was no exception and recalled the time when he was learning martial arts in the martial arts gym. He mentioned his junior sister Wanru, but he didn't expect that the little girl would remember her.

My wife is a jealous person. If this little girl tells this to my wife...

"Thank you, Uncle Xu. My niece has a bad memory and forgets many things after a few days."

Jiang Qing puffed up her lips to hold back her laughter, then turned around and left gracefully.

……

……

A sound was heard on one side of the valley, and dozens of birds were startled and flew into the sky.

At the same time, an arrow was shot into the sky, seemingly without a target, but strangely, when the arrow passed through the area where the birds were, a egret happened to fly to the direction of the arrow and was pierced through the throat by the arrow.

This scene looked more like the egret itself hitting the arrow.

"To make an arrow accurate, you need to predict it."

Predicting the target's movement trajectory is also something that an archer must practice.

This arrow was able to have such an effect because he stayed in this valley and observed the egret's flight nearly a hundred times, and was able to predict the egret's flight trajectory.

Looking at the area where the birds landed, Lin Chen drew his bow again and shot an arrow at random.

This arrow caused the large trees in the woods to explode and the birds were startled again.

shhhhhh!
Lin Chen picked up the three arrows without hesitation, drew the bow and shot all three arrows in one go.

Three flying birds were pierced by arrows and fell from the sky.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen's mouth curled up into a smile, but the next moment his pupils suddenly shrank, and he stepped with his right foot, and retreated backwards like an arrow from a bow. At the same time, he drew the bow with his right hand and shot an arrow into the woods in front of him on the left without hesitation.

"Junior Brother Lin's perception is so sharp that he can even discover me."

In the woods, Jiang Qing looked at the arrows flying towards her and was a little surprised, but she did not dodge. She had already opened up twenty-two acupoints and her realm was far superior to that of Junior Brother Lin.

Snapped!
Jiang Qing slapped out with her palm, and the terrifying palm wind swept towards the arrow, but the next moment there was an incredible look in Jiang Qing's beautiful eyes. The arrow in front of her was not swept away by her palm wind. In a flash, her body moved slightly, and the arrow almost passed by her body.

What kind of archery skill is this, Junior Brother Lin?
Before Jiang Qing could recover from her shock, several more arrows shot towards her. This time there were three arrows, blocking all her escape routes.

Lin Chen, who shot three arrows at once, had a serious look in his eyes at this moment. Just now he felt a figure hiding in the woods ahead. Although the other party had concealed his breath, he could still detect it with his perception.

If I teach them, I will never be discovered.

And if it were other junior brothers in the special training ground, it would be impossible for them to be discovered by me at such a distance.

The most important thing is that the other party concealed his breath and approached him. What exactly did he want to do?
Those who come are not good, and those who are good don't.

Shoot first!
When Lin Chen saw that the opponent was able to dodge his arrow at such a close distance, his pupils shrank. This person was extremely powerful and might be no less powerful than himself.

Special training ground, other students do not have this ability.

Looking at the three arrows whistling towards him, Jiang Qing took a deep breath. A terrifying energy burst out from his body, condensing into the shape of a long spear in front of him. It swept out horizontally, and the three arrows fell to the ground instantly.

"what is this?"

Lin Chen, who saw this scene from a distance, turned around and ran without any hesitation.

The special effects are all out!

This person is beyond my reach.

Jiang Qing looked at Lin Chen's fleeing figure, gnashed her teeth, and couldn't help but yelled: "Junior Brother Lin!"

Lin Chen, who had already run dozens of feet, paused when he heard a voice coming from behind him. The voice sounded familiar.

Senior Sister Jiang!
Thinking about who the owner of the voice was, Lin Chen stopped. He didn't even look at the other person's face just now, and the other person was in the woods, nearly a hundred feet away, and he couldn't see clearly because of the leaves.

After a few breaths, Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed looking at Senior Sister Jiang who was smiling but not smiling.

"Junior Brother Lin, is this your way of entertaining guests?"

Senior Sister Jiang, you are the villain who is making the first complaint. How could a guest approach you stealthily?

"Junior brother didn't know it was senior sister, please calm down." Lin Chen apologized.

"It's very easy to calm me down. Just take three palm strikes from me first!"

Jiang Qing jumped up and slapped out with her palm without hesitation. She had seen Junior Brother Lin's archery skills, which were indeed very strong. It forced her to use the martial arts will left to her by her father.

But she just didn't believe that Junior Brother Lin could be her opponent in close combat.

"it is good!"

Lin Chen also slapped out with his palm. He realized that Senior Sister Jiang wanted to compete with him.

The two men's palms collided, and a gust of wind spread out. Lin Chen stood still, while Jiang Qing took half a step back.

"You...you...don't fight anymore."

Looking at Lin Chen standing there with a serious expression, Jiang Qing suddenly lost the desire to compete with him.

She originally thought that Junior Brother Lin was good at archery, perhaps because he had been practicing archery hard during this period, but he would definitely not be as good as herself in close combat. After all, her Water Cloud Palm was also perfected, and she had opened up twenty-two acupoints.

But after the palm strike, she only felt as if her palm had hit a steel plate. The recoil force almost made her unable to breathe, so she took a half step back.

With such close combat ability, why bother practicing archery?
"Junior Brother Lin, how many parts have you opened up?"

"I'm ashamed. Junior brother has only opened up seventeen points."

"Junior Brother Lin, have I ever told you that you deserve a beating for being so modest?"
