Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 164: The poor family shines, and their reputation spreads across the south of the Yangtze River (Subscription Request)

"Nine-turn True Blood Refining Internal Organs, this method I have never heard of."

In the valley of the special training ground, Min Huanbo's six instructors had already left, leaving only two old men, Jia Nanzhu and Li Yueshan.

Lin Chen did not hide the rewards he received on the Martial Arts Mountain, but what he did not expect was that Instructor Jia and Old Master Li were both puzzled when they heard about the Nine-Turn True Blood Training.

"Lin Chen, although your realm is still a little far from Lian Zang, your strength is already close. I will tell you about the situation of Lian Zang today."

Jia Nanzhu saw Lin Chen's confusion and said in a deep voice, "Nourishing Qi, opening the orifices, and training the organs; the three stages of martial artists' physical training are collectively referred to as the body-building stage. Opening the orifices trains the acupoints and meridians, while training the organs is to temper the five internal organs. Most of the organ training methods temper one organ at a time, and when the five internal organs are fully tempered, it is considered a great success."

"The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are the five internal organs. Acupoints control the outside, while the five internal organs control the inside. Daliang has many internal organ training methods, but the difference is only in the order of tempering the five internal organs. Some methods temper the heart first, while others temper the liver... There is no strong or weak method, only suitable or unsuitable."

At this point, Jia Nanzhu paused and said, "But this is the case in most cases. There are also some special techniques that can increase one's strength far beyond that of people at the same level. However, the difficulty of practicing these special techniques is much higher than that of ordinary internal organs training techniques."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Nine Revolutions True Blood Internal Organ Training Method you obtained should be a special internal organ training method."

Lin Chen and Li Yueshan both agreed with Jia Nanzhu's judgment. Lin Chen agreed because he had memorized the secret of the Nine-Turn True Blood Internal Medicine Method, which was indeed different from what Instructor Jia had said.

"The reward from Wudao Mountain will naturally not be an ordinary martial arts method. This is beyond doubt. It must be a martial arts method that suits you. Go back and rest first."

Li Yueshan spoke with a smile, and Lin Chen understood in his heart that the two adults had something to discuss.

"I'll take my leave first, disciple."

After Lin Chen left, Li Yueshan looked at Jia Nanzhu and said, "Leave a name on Wudao Mountain. There should be no dispute over Lin Chen's title as the model student of Jiangnan Dao Wudao."

If there were objections to the original Lin Chen being selected as the model of Jiangnan Dao martial arts students, then now that Lin Chen has left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain, it would cause controversy if this title was not given to Lin Chen.

A role model martial arts student appears every few years, but a genius who can leave his name in the martial arts world only appears after decades of practice.

The last time a Jiangnan Dao student left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain was thirty-four years ago, and he only left his name for three years before being replaced by geniuses from other fields.

There are twenty-four realms of awakening, twenty-four geniuses, but currently there is no one in Jiangnan Dao.

Based on this point alone, it is undisputed that Lin Chen was selected as a model student of Jiangnan Taoism.

Jia Nanzhu narrowed his old eyes slightly. He understood what this old Lord Li meant. Lin Chen had successfully left his name on Wudao Mountain. The competition between Li Zhe and Lin Chen for the model student of Jiangnan Taoism would have come to an end, unless Li Zhe could also leave his name on Wudao Mountain.

"Master Shao should have a detailed plan for this matter."

Seeing Li Yueshan frown, Jia Nanzhu explained: "Lord Li, this is a turbulent time. The outside world only knows that a talented young man has emerged in Jiangnan Dao and has left his name on Wudao Mountain, but no one knows who he is. Once Lin Chen is announced as a model student of Jiangnan Dao, it is equivalent to telling the outside world that the person who left his name on Wudao Mountain is Lin Chen."

Jia Nanzhu explained that Mr. Li had retired and his sources of information about the situations in various places were not as timely as his own. If the Wuzheng Hall now announced that Lin Chen became a model student of Jiangnan Dao, then everyone would know that it was Lin Chen who left his name on Wudao Mountain.

"So serious?"

Li Yueshan did not expect the situation to be so serious. In his opinion, even if the Marquis of Zhenbei died, Daliang would not be in chaos.

Over the years, the most turbulent time for Daliang was when Emperor Taizu passed away. All kinds of demons and monsters emerged. But even so, Daliang still survived and killed all those who showed up with thundering means.

"There are always some remnants ready to make a move." Jia Nanzhu's eyes were cold: "Daliang is about to celebrate its 300th anniversary. There are always some people who think that Daliang will end and will decline after its peak, and they have begun to have some tricks."

Three hundred years is enough time for a potential warrior to create a family.

People’s hearts will change!

"I understand."

Li Yueshan understood and nodded: "Just discuss this matter properly."

"Leaving a name on Wudao Mountain is such an honor, and it will boost the morale of our Jiangnan Dao martial arts students. The Wuzheng Hall will not conceal it for too long, and will make it public once the hidden dangers are cleared."

In fact, in recent times, various prefectures in Jiangnan Province have already begun to take action, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, they are still acting in secret.

……

……

next day!

An official document was sent from the Jiangnan Dao Wuzheng Hall to various prefectures and counties...

The Jiangnan Dao martial arts circle was instantly in an uproar.

"What is Budosan?"

This is a warrior who doesn't know about Budo Mountain, and he looks confused.

The reason why they were shocked was the words used in the description of Lin Chen in this official document from the Military Affairs Office.

【Order of Jiangnan Military Administration Office】

【Main delivery:
Each prefecture's military administration department, special training ground, military administration institute, and registered students. 】

[Reason:
Lin Chen's ambition to leave his name on the Mount Zhangwu Daoshan encourages Jiangnan martial artists to work hard and persevere.

[Lin Chen, a student of Jingshui Martial Arts School, Zhenyue Martial Arts School, and Kuangfeng Martial Arts School in Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture, has left his name on Wudao Mountain, becoming the first young man to be engraved on the monument in Jiangnan Dao in the past thirty years.]

【Lin Chen was born in a humble family, with no extra money to invest in martial arts. However, his will was as strong as iron, he worked hard to pay for his studies, practiced day and night, and first won the Poyang County martial arts competition, and then won the Raozhou County competition. This was not a gift from heaven, but the result of hard work and perseverance.】

[I hereby order the warriors of each prefecture, county, and town in Jiangnan Road:]

【We should take Lin Chen as an example. The road of martial arts has no boundaries, and only those with a strong will can cross it. Although talents vary, only those who are diligent can continue forever. 】

[The highest martial arts are not only for the rich and powerful; a sword tempered by a poor family can also cut through the sky! ]

[I hope that all students will follow his determination, emulate his perseverance, and be sincere in their hearts to jointly build the greatness of Jiangnan martial arts. ]

Many warriors in Jiangnan Dao had never encountered a document issued by the Martial Arts Office praising a warrior in such a way in their entire lives. In addition to being shocked, they all tried to find out the news about Wudao Mountain and Lin Chen.

Compared to the shock of the martial artists who didn't know about Mount Budo, the martial arts masters and families who knew about Mount Budo were also extremely shocked.

It is harder to leave a name on Wudao Mountain than to ascend to the sky.

Jiangnan Dao, no warrior has been able to leave his name in Wudao Mountain in the past thirty years!

Hongdu Prefecture Military Affairs Department.

"This battle for the role model among Jiangnan Dao students has come to an end."

Jiang Zheng sighed lightly. This document from the Wuzheng Hall must have been approved by Lord Shao. If the last three sentences were not in the document, Li Zhe would still have a chance. However, the Wuzheng Hall has already called on all the Jiangnan Dao martial arts students to learn from Lin Chen, which means that the model student already belongs to Lin Chen.

[We should take Lin Chen as an example...]

This sentence says it all.

Li Zhe, is it a pity?

It’s not a pity to face a genius who can leave his name in Budo Mountain.

……

……

Li’s House in Hongdu Prefecture.

Extremely lively!

Many young martial artists from Hongdu Prefecture were gathered in the back garden of Li's residence at this moment, including many young men from other prefectures.

These people were all invited by Li Zhe to attend the banquet hosted by Li Zhe.

And just inside the right archway connected to the back garden, there was a whistling sound from time to time. The strong wind sounded like huge waves hitting the wall, attracting everyone's attention from time to time.

"I'm afraid that Senior Brother Li will break through to the level of practicing Zang."

"No way, didn't they say it would take three months? It's only been over a month."

"If it were an ordinary person, it would naturally take three months, but Senior Brother Li is someone of such status that it would be no problem for him to break through the internal organs training in one and a half months."

"It seems that we have come to the right place this time. Not only can we enjoy the monster flesh and blood provided by the Li Mansion, but we can also witness Senior Brother Li's breakthrough."

The young men in the garden all came from good families, but they all focused on Li Zhe, and their words and actions showed their admiration for Li Zhe.

"Then Lin Chen still wants to compete with Senior Brother Li for the model of Jiangnan Dao student. He is really overestimating his own abilities."

"Lin Chen, you're just a clown!"

……

In a corner of the crowd, Li Qi listened to these people praising Li Zhe on the left and belittling Lin Chen on the right, and her pretty face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Before this fight even starts, you already know that Lin Chen will lose!"

Li Qi couldn't help it and said something to the three people who were talking on the left.

"Sister Qi, don't talk nonsense."

Wang Yuyao hurriedly stopped Li Qi. Li Qi was brought here by her. At this moment, several people were looking at Li Qi with unfriendly eyes.

"Sister Wang, I'm not wrong. The competition arranged by the Military Affairs Department is at the end of the year. The competition hasn't even started yet, but everyone is saying that Lin Chen is doomed to lose. If that's the case, the Military Affairs Department should just give the title of model student to Li Zhe now."

Ever since she was scolded by her grandfather last time, Li Qi has reflected on herself. Especially after learning about Lin Chen's past from her grandfather, she not only has no resentment towards Lin Chen, but also admires him very much.

Anyway, she felt that if she had a family background like Lin Chen, she would probably not even be able to open up.

If she can't do it but others can, then she admires that person.

"Yuyao, who is this person?" A woman nearby asked Wang Yuyao about Li Qi's background.

"Sister Qi is the eldest daughter of the Li family in Quzhou." Wang Yuyao did not hide Li Qi's identity.

As soon as she finished talking about Li Qi's identity, many boys and girls at the scene started laughing wildly.

"Who was speaking for Lin Chen at that time? It turned out to be the daughter of the Li family in Quzhou. She had to defend Lin Chen. After all, as a woman, if she didn't stand up for her fiancé, wouldn't she lose her female virtue?"

"There are rumors that Lin Chen is the future son-in-law of the Li family. I didn't believe it at first, but now I really believe it."

"The Li family even likes a piece of shit like Lin Chen. It seems like they are really in trouble."

After knowing Li Qi's identity, these boys and girls started to mock her. Li Qi's cheeks turned red with anger. She just looked down on these people for slandering Lin Chen behind her back. When did Lin Chen become her fiancé?

"Sister Li, let me ask you, what do you, the Li family, or you, like about Lin Chen?"

"Maybe he likes the fishy smell on Lin Chen."

These boys and girls laughed at Lin Chen wildly. Everyone knew that Lin Chen was the son of a fisherman, and fishermen always smelled like fish.

"You... you..."

Li Qi was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to say something harsh, but the people present were from similar backgrounds to hers. As for strength, she had only entered the martial arts hall this year and was just starting to learn. She could not beat these people even if she wanted to.

"Sister Wang, I'm leaving!"

Unable to stay any longer, Li Qi decided to leave.

"Sister Qi..."

Wang Yuyao wanted to hold Li Qi back, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do so. Li Qi had angered everyone, and if she stayed here she would only be ridiculed.

And deep down in her heart, she also felt that Lin Chen could not compete with Li Zhe.

From her perspective, she still supported Li Zhe, after all, they were from the same background. But just as Li Qi raised her foot, there were hurried footsteps coming from the direction of the courtyard gate.

"Oh no!"

A young man ran in with a panicked look on his face, holding a notice in his hand.

"The Martial Arts Department has issued a notice. Lin...Lin Chen has left his name on Wudao Mountain."

The originally noisy back garden fell into silence after the boy said this.

Lin Chen...left his name on Wudao Mountain?

Li Qi, with tears welling up in her eyes, looked at the stunned crowd, took a few steps forward, and snatched the notice from the boy's eyes.

Although the boy was confused, he thought about it and let it go.

Li Qi quickly glanced at the contents of the notice, and the next moment she burst into laughter. She looked up at the young men in the yard with a look of satisfaction in her eyes, and read aloud:
[Today, Lin Chen, a student of Jingshui Martial Arts School, Zhenyue Martial Arts School, and Kuangfeng Martial Arts School in Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture, has left his name on Wudao Mountain, becoming the first young man to be engraved on the monument in Jiangnan Dao in nearly 30 years, promoting the prestige of Jiangnan martial artists and strengthening the reputation of martial arts in this province.]

【Lin Chen was born in a humble family, with no extra money to invest in martial arts. However, his will was as strong as iron, he worked hard to pay for his studies, practiced day and night, and first won the Poyang County martial arts competition, and then won the Raozhou County competition. This was not a gift from heaven, but the result of hard work and perseverance.】

[I hereby order the warriors of each prefecture, county, and town in Jiangnan Road:]

【We should take Lin Chen as an example. The road of martial arts has no boundaries, and only those with a strong will can cross it. Although talents vary, only those who are diligent can continue forever. 】

……

In the courtyard, there was only Li Qi's happy voice, no other sound.

More than half of the teenagers opened their mouths slightly...

"Now that I'm done, I won't be with you anymore. I have to hurry back to celebrate with Lin Chen."

Li Qi stuffed the notice back into the arms of the young man next to him, held his head high, and strode away like a general who had won a battle.

"Let me see."

After Li Qi's figure disappeared for more than ten breaths, a young man finally couldn't help it, took the notice, and fell into complete silence after reading it.

The notice was passed silently among these young people.

……

……

Until tea time is over.

Li Zhe walked out of the main house with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"I have broken through to the Lianzang realm a month ahead of schedule. I will definitely win the title of Jiangnan Dao student model this time!"

Lin Chen, what do you have to fight with me!

Li Zhe was confident that he would break through to the Lian Zang realm today, otherwise he would not have specially invited so many children of powerful and wealthy people to a banquet, and then hurriedly left to retreat and break through because of some realization he had in the middle of the process.

What he wanted was to spread the news that he was practicing dirty tricks and make Lin Chen feel desperate.

There can be a role model for Jiangnan Dao students, but it can only be him!

As he walked through the archway connecting to the backyard and saw the many young people in the backyard, Li Zhe smiled.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I didn't expect that I would suddenly have such an impulse today. I apologize to you all here."

Li Zhe bowed, but his brows furrowed as he bent down. As he expected, after he said this, some of his fellow junior brothers and sisters would speak up to stop him.

But he insisted on profusely apologizing in order to portray himself as humble.

But now, no one spoke, which made him a little surprised.

After bowing, Li Zhe looked at everyone who was still silent and frowned slightly.

When the young men in the courtyard saw Li Zhe show up, their expressions became a little strange. They knew that Senior Brother Li was in seclusion to break through to the awakening state, and he must have succeeded in the breakthrough now that he came out.

In the past, they would have certainly congratulated him, but now...

"What's going on, everyone?"

Li Zhe saw that several people were silent and asked with a smile.

"Li... Senior Brother Li, Lin Chen has left his name on Wudao Mountain." Finally, someone spoke up. This matter could not be kept secret, and Senior Brother Li would know it sooner or later.

"Leave a name at Wudao Mountain?" Li Zhe's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes swept across a document in the hand of the man who was speaking. He moved, and the next moment he appeared next to the man, with the document already in his hand.

[We should take Lin Chen as an example...]

Upon seeing this sentence, Li Zhe's face completely froze.

The man at the side saw that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Li said that he would compete for the Jiangnan Dao Student Model. He didn't care about the title, but was afraid that the title would fall to Lin Chen, which would then attract provocation and ridicule from people in other sects. Now that Lin Chen has left his name in Wudao Mountain, other sects will not provoke or ridicule him. I think Senior Brother Li doesn't want the Student Model title anymore."

The man said this with no other purpose, he just wanted to ease the atmosphere and give Li Zhe a way out.

But his words made Li Zhe's face completely gloomy. After a few breaths, Li Zhe finally spoke: "Junior brother is right. I don't care about the title of model student of Jiangnan Dao. Since Lin Chen has proved himself, then give it to him."

Li Zhe smiled again, looking calm and relaxed, but the knuckles of his hands that were holding the document turned white from the force used.

"Brother Li, I remember now. I have something else to do at home. I'll leave first."

"It's the same at my house. My grandma is about to give birth, so I have to go back to see her."

……

……

The young men in the yard found excuses to leave one after another. Even those who had a good relationship with Li Zhe had no intention of staying here at the moment.

Dozens of figures disappeared in just a few dozen breaths, leaving only a young girl.

"Senior Brother Li."

"roll!"

Li Zhe roared, if it weren't for your Huo family's incompetence and failure to stigmatize Lin Chen, Lin Chen wouldn't even be qualified to continue staying in the special training ground, let alone leave his name in Wudao Mountain?

Huo Shu's face turned pale: "Brother Li, Lin Chen only left his name in Wudao Mountain, but his realm is still not as good as yours."

"The agreement between your Huo family and my Li family was to help me win the Jiangnan Dao martial arts student model. Now that I have failed, the marriage agreement between our two families is no longer valid."

Li Zhe had an evil look on his face, and he looked at Huo Shu coldly: "The Huo family is no longer valuable to my Li family. If you want to keep this engagement, let me see what you are capable of."

call out!
Li Zhe appeared beside Huo Shu, and pulled off her collar without any hesitation.

Feeling the coolness on her chest, Huo Shu quickly reached out to cover it.

"If you dare to block me, then get out of here!"

Hearing Li Zhe's threatening words, Huo Shu's pretty face changed, with a hint of sadness. After two breaths, she put down her hands tremblingly.

She knew her grandfather very well. If the Li family didn't want her and ruined her grandfather's plan, her life would not be easy.

In the eyes of my grandfather, only my brother Huo Tong is the future of the Huo family.

"Can...can you come into the room?"

Huo Shu pleaded in a humble voice, but Li Zhe directly covered her with his palm: "Isn't this yard better!"

……

(Everyone has spent money, so I can’t waste time writing these 3,000 words)

……

Just as the notice from the Wuzheng Hall spread throughout the Jiangnan Road, the next hour, a notice from the Jiangnan Road Administrative Office was once again distributed to the government offices and county yamen in Jiangnan Road.

【Jiangnan Xingdao Order】

【Main delivery:
All prefectures, county offices, and town halls]

[Origin: The merit of Lin Chen, who left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain in Zhangnandao]

[There is a sixteen-year-old Lin Chen from Linhu Village, Kaohe Town, Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Road. In the 299th year of the Daliang calendar, he left his name on Wudao Mountain...]

【…】

【…】

[He promoted the prestige of Jiangnan warriors and strengthened the reputation of Jiangnan martial arts. He is truly a rare talent in a century. He set an example for the thousands of Jiangnan martial artists. ]

[The Raozhou government was ordered to engrave his deeds on the "Liwu Monument" to make it known to the world]

The contents of the two documents are similar.

But to be able to have the Wuzheng Hall and the Xingdaofu issue documents at the same time on the same day, looking at the entire Jiangnan Province, only the top five in the martial arts examination had such treatment in the past.

Even if one does not understand the difficulty of leaving a name on Wudao Mountain, after seeing these two official documents, one can guess that Lin Chen must have achieved an astonishing achievement.

"Village Chief, what is Budo Mountain?"

"Why do you care about these things, you coward? Is this something we can know?"

Zhao Zanghu looked at the villagers' curious eyes and slapped them in anger: "Go, clean the ancestral hall. We have to offer sacrifices to the ancestors as soon as Lin Chen comes back."

Zhao Canghu was very excited. There were two official documents, from the Wuzheng Hall and the Jiangnan Prefecture. Even when Mr. Jiang passed the imperial examination, he did not have such an honor.

It seems that a monument needs to be erected. Although I don’t understand what this Liwu Monument is, it must be a good thing.

We must strive to erect this monument in Linhu Village.

With the stone tablet here, no one will dare to bully their Linhu Village in the future.

"I guess those big shots from the county will come to our village soon, so everyone should pay attention to their appearance. I'm going to the Lin family."

The person who has the final say on where to erect the stone tablet is naturally Lin Chen, but he knows Lin Chen and knows that Lin Chen doesn't care about these things, so he has to talk to Lin's mother.

After the stone tablet is erected, he no longer has to chat with the women in the village under the big camphor tree. Wouldn't it be more face-saving to stand next to the stone tablet engraved with the glorious deeds of his son?

Everyone who sees it will have to praise it a few times, and that will create a topic of conversation.

……

……

Special training ground next door!
"Fuck!"

"Chen Ping, you are going too far!"

"Min Huanbo, you are not a human being!"

When Zhang Jiang and others saw the official document from the Military Affairs Office, they were shocked and suddenly started cursing.
