Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 16 The person who should be here is not here, I’m tired!
[Name: Lin Chen]

[Occupation: Warrior]

[Qi and blood: 4000/5000]

[Fate: [Successful outcome]: In the realm of martial arts, perseverance, gradual progress, unstoppable momentum, no bottlenecks.]

Looking at the growth rate of Qi and blood on his panel.

Lin Chen now only wants to say one thing, Lu Yongfeng, Yan Dexing and others are nothing but people who sell their heads for personal gain.

After developing his vital energy, his energy and blood instantly increased by a thousand points, and his strength reached eight hundred kilograms.

Now I should be able to knock Lu Yongfeng down with one punch.

But what he couldn't understand was how the upper limit of Qi and blood became 5000. The upper limit of Qi and blood of 5000 meant one thousand kilograms of strength.

What does this one thousand pounds represent?
"What are you thinking about?"

Yu Yongnian saw Lin Chen was thinking and asked with a smile.

"Brother... I feel like I'm a completely different person after I developed my vital energy. I have endless energy."

"The body has vital energy, and the blood and qi are generated naturally, in a cycle. Only when you reach this stage can you be considered to have truly embarked on the path of martial arts."

Yu Yongnian smiled slightly, and then said: "You don't seem to know much about martial arts, so today I will explain it to you."

"You should already know that there are two and a half realms for warriors to forge their bodies. You are now in the half realm. What you need to do next is to use the energy in your body to impact the acupoints. Once the impact is successful, you will enter the realm of opening the acupoints."

"After the awakening of the mind, one must train the organs. Only then can one be considered a martial artist with a certain rank, from the ninth rank to the first rank. Those who have not reached the ninth rank are collectively referred to as martial artists without a rank."

……

……

Listening to the instructor's explanation, Lin Chen had a basic understanding of martial arts.

Opening up the mind and training the internal organs are the two major hurdles in martial arts.

Only after passing two major hurdles can one be considered a warrior of certain rank.

The ninth grade is the lowest and the first grade is the highest.

The nine-rank system for military personnel was also the nine-rank official system of the Liang Dynasty.

After working hard for a year, in the eyes of those real warriors, I am just a martial arts apprentice?
"Don't think that there are many ninth-grade warriors. There are only two ninth-grade warriors in the entire Poyang County, the county lord and the director of the Military Affairs Office."

Yu Yongnian could guess what Lin Chen was thinking, as he had gone through the same thing back then.

After developing the essence, one will be full of energy and vigor, and will then gallop on the path of martial arts. But later on one will find that this is only the starting point of the path of martial arts.

so little?
Lin Chen clicked his tongue. He didn't expect that there were only two people who passed the exam in the entire Poyang County.

"I said there are only two ninth-grade masters, but that doesn't mean there are no other ninth-grade masters in Poyang County. There are still more than ten ninth-grade masters in Poyang County, but except for the county lord and the Lord of the Military Administration Department, the others are over fifty years old, their qi and blood are beginning to decline, and their current strength can no longer reach the ninth grade."

"Warriors' strength will decline?"

"Don't you think that a warrior in his eighties can still be compared with a young warrior?"

Yu Yongnian smiled and said, "For warriors who are not in the ninth rank, they will start to go downhill after they are forty, and it will be difficult to improve in the subsequent realms. Even if you enter the ninth rank, it will only last for ten years, unless you can break through to the next rank. With your current strength, you can kill a 100-year-old seventh rank warrior with one punch."

The corner of Lin Chen's mouth twitched. It was not an honorable thing to kill a hundred-year-old seventh-grade warrior with one punch.

However, according to this situation, there is a saying from the previous life that is very appropriate here.

It is never too late for a warrior to take revenge.

If ten years is not enough, then twenty years will do, until the opponent's vitality and blood are exhausted. "This is the cruelty of martial arts. It is better to bully the elderly than the young."

Yu Yongnian pondered for a moment, thinking that Lin Chen was born in the village, and the situation of the county martial arts hall was much more complicated than that of the town martial arts hall, so he asked: "No big family wants to offend young warriors, but if they have already offended them and cannot resolve the situation, what do you think these families will do?"

"Do whatever it takes to prevent this young warrior from growing up."

Lin Chen's answer was very tactful. He understood what his instructor meant. Those big families would not offend young warriors easily, but once they did, they would strangle them.

Unless the family feels that their young generation of warriors has a promising future, they will not care about these things. Otherwise, they have to be on guard against revenge when they are old.

Yu Yongnian nodded slightly and did not say more about this. As long as Lin Chen stayed in the martial arts hall, there would be no conflict with the major families in the city. He just made a suggestion.

"Because after the age of 40, the Qi and blood of unqualified warriors will decline, so there is a saying in the martial arts circle: five years to open the mind, ten years to train the internal organs, and it will be difficult to enter the rank if you are slower than that."

"If you arrive at a martial arts school and fail to break through and enter the stage of internal organ training within five years, it will be very difficult to enter the realm of martial arts after that."

"If you find that the path of martial arts is difficult to master quickly, you can find a job in the government office, earn money while practicing martial arts, and leave yourself a way out, so as not to fail to become a rank and become poor and destitute after your qi and blood are exhausted."

Being a warrior is glorious, but also cruel.

Glory is built up with money and hard work. Once you are over forty, your energy and blood begin to decline, and the ways to make money will decrease. If you don't have enough money, you can only do some work that lowers your status.

There was once a martial artist who had achieved great success in martial arts training. However, because he was so devoted to martial arts training, he had to borrow money from a bank and ended up owing a huge debt of one thousand taels. After he turned forty, his energy and blood began to decline, and his ways of making money decreased. His income decreased year by year, and the bank demanded repayment for his debts. In addition, his past enemies played tricks on him, so he was forced to work as a pimp in a brothel.

It is true that one must be resolute on the path of martial arts, but one cannot burn one's boats and leave no room for maneuver, especially when one has family and descendants, one must leave a way out for oneself.

"Considering your family's financial situation, no matter what the future holds, you have already brought honor to your family. You should strive on the path of martial arts, but you must also do it within your ability."

Yu Yongnian's words were not an exaggeration. If Lin Chen could cultivate his essence within a year, according to the rules of recruiting disciples in the martial arts hall in the past, the first place in the martial arts hall would receive a pill to open his acupoints. Even if the subsequent progress was slow, as long as he could open ten acupoints, he would have the opportunity to get a part-time job in the government.

Being a government official, he is considered a big shot in the village and is indeed a source of honor to the family.

As for becoming a high-ranking warrior, that is not what warriors from ordinary families pursue.

Every warrior who reaches the next level has the support of huge resources from his family.

"Come to the martial arts hall again in two days, and I will take you to the county martial arts hall. Today you can go home and share this joy with your elders."

"Then I will take my leave first."

Lin Chen nodded. When he returned and told his parents about his cultivation of vital energy, they would surely be very happy.

After Lin Chen left, Yu Yong said in a low voice: "You have cultivated your energy within a year, so you should be proud of yourself. If you are depressed and your thoughts are not clear, I will help you to resolve this depression."

……

……

Just as Lin Chen left the martial arts hall, he set out on the journey back to the village.

In the backyard.

Lu Yongfeng roared angrily, his whole body turned red, like a roaring tiger.

This action scared Zhao Jingchuan and the other three.

"I've made a breakthrough and developed my energy!"

Lu Yongfeng had a ferocious expression, but then he saw the confused looks of Zhao Jingchuan and the other three, and he suddenly became deflated again.

The person who should be here is not here, and the excitement and joy in my heart are instantly reduced by half.
