Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 180: A visitor from the Martial Academy (asking for monthly tickets)

As the sky brightened, a figure emerged from the water on the surface of Poyang Lake.

Lin Chen returned to the shore, all wet. The blood in his body began to circulate, the temperature of his skin rose, and the water stains on his body quickly evaporated.

After putting on clean clothes, Lin Chen began to observe the Thousand Hammers Picture in the temporary iron house at the back of his home.

An hour later, he walked out of the iron house with a tired look. Jia Nanzhu had already boiled the liquid medicine. After taking a bath, Lin Chen began to practice the Wind Kick...

In the afternoon, Lin Chen would sit on the back hill, flipping through the many martial arts techniques that Instructor Jia brought from the Wuzheng Hall, occasionally demonstrating them with his hands.

So at night, he began to practice the arrow of fear of death.

……

……

This cycle repeats itself until five days have passed.

Early in the morning of this day, Lin Chen, as usual, had just finished soaking in the medicine when he heard the teacher's voice.

"Lin Chen, I'll give you a day off today. Someone is coming to your house."

When Jia Nanzhu saw Lin Chen was about to take the secret manual of martial arts to the back mountain, she spoke up to stop him.

"Is there someone coming?"

I have been back to Linhu Village for several days. At the welcoming banquet, I have met everyone I should have met. People like Junior Brother Lu and others also came to Linhu Village the next day. Why are there still people coming after a few days?

"Go ahead, this person is the one you've been thinking about."

Jia Nanzhu saw Lin Chen's confusion and added with a smile.

The person I'm thinking about?
Lin Chen's mind raced, and the next moment he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up: "Teacher, that disciple has gone."

He could already guess who had come to his house.

Looking at Lin Chen's anxious steps, Jia Nanzhu narrowed his eyes. The only person who could make Lin Chen so excited was that person.

The weight of this teacher in Lin Chen's heart is still somewhat inferior to that teacher.

It can't be compared and shouldn't be compared.

……

……

The Lin family mansion.

Lin's father and mother were both there, and the eldest brother Lin Liang was busy taking out all the fruits and vegetables in the house.

The three members of the Lin family knew very well what this visitor meant to Lin Chen.

It can even be said that this person is the great benefactor of their Lin family.

"Master Yu, please sit down for a while. Chen'er has been practicing in the back mountain recently. I have sent someone to notify him and he will be back soon."

Father Lin made some tea. Yu Yongnian looked at the table full of fruits and vegetables and said with a smile, "No need to go through so much trouble."

Yu Yongnian was also moved by the fruits and vegetables taken out from the Lin family. A year ago, the Lin family would not buy any other fruits and vegetables except the most common dried pumpkins used to entertain guests in the village.

All things are inferior, only learning martial arts is superior.

This is the rich reward for successful martial arts training.

The expansion of the yard, the increase of fruits and vegetables on the table, and the changes in Lin Chen's family are the best proof of this statement.

"Teacher Yu, you are our family's great benefactor. Without your teaching and support to my Chen'er, there would be no Chen'er today."

Lin's mother was also very excited. She read the article written by her son, in which she mentioned Yu Jiaoxi several times.

"Lin Chen's achievements today are largely due to his own efforts. I just gave him a push. Even if I, Yu Yongnian, hadn't been there, Chen Yongnian and Zhang Yongnian would have discovered Lin Chen's talent."

"Without instruction, even if I could continue on the path of martial arts, I would not have achieved such success."

Lin Chen's voice came from outside the yard. Yu Yongnian turned around and looked at the young man standing in front of the door with an excited expression on his face, and he also smiled.

……

……

The lake embankment of Linhu Village.

Lin Chen accompanied Yu Yongnian for a stroll by the lake. Lin Chen told Yu Yongnian about his experiences in the martial arts school over the past nine months. Except for the special training site, which could not be described in detail due to the rules of the Wuzheng Hall, Lin Chen told Yu Yongnian everything else.

In the article "Words to My Junior Brother at Jiangnan Dao", Lin Chen mentioned Instructor Yu several times, not to establish an image of being grateful, but to express his heartfelt gratitude to the instructor.

His destiny [a natural outcome] could only come into play in the later stages. Without a teacher, he might not even be able to get the chance to receive the Enlightenment Pill. Without the Enlightenment Pill, it would be difficult for him to catch the attention of the teachers in the martial arts hall. By the time he reveals his talent in martial arts, I'm afraid the county fight would have been over.

Thanks to Teacher Yu for getting the Enlightenment Pill for me and the bonus before I entered the martial arts school, I was able to keep up with the others in the early stages.

If you fall behind by one step, you will fall behind step by step.

Without Yu's instruction, he might now be just an average student in the martial arts school, similar to Junior Brother Lu and the others, and he would also have to worry about the money needed for his subsequent enlightenment.

Yu Yongnian listened quietly. In his eyes, Lin Chen at this moment was like a junior who was telling an elder about his achievements. For the first time, he felt the immaturity of a teenager of this age in Lin Chen.

The Lin Chen in the past was too mature.

Maybe it has something to do with his family background. Coming from an ordinary family, Lin Chen must be mature if he wants to compete with those children of the powerful.

After Lin Chen finished speaking, Yu Yongnian looked at the sparkling lake and said with a smile: "Lin Chen, have you heard of the carp leaping over the dragon gate?"

"I've heard of it." Lin Chen nodded.

"You are now like a carp that has already crossed the dragon gate." Yu Yongnian glanced at Lin Chen sideways and said, "To be honest, I can't provide you with any help on your future path of martial arts, not even any advice."

On the road of martial arts, after reaching the state of awakening, one must train the internal organs, and after training the internal organs, one must enter the realm of quality.

As a martial artist who had mastered the art of internal organ training, Yu Yongnian knew that he could no longer give Lin Chen any guidance in his martial arts training.

Even though Lin Chen hasn't practiced martial arts yet, with such talent, his subsequent martial arts training path must be different from what he knows. All he knows is how ordinary martial artists should practice. Before coming here, he asked his senior sister how the children of the powerful and wealthy in Raozhou Prefecture planned their martial arts.

The senior sister’s answer shocked him!
The children of the rich and powerful can take three bottles of Ziqiao Pills every month, and later on they will take Chixue Pills and even monster meat. The names of the Chixue Pills and other pills, when spoken by his senior sister, sounded so unfamiliar to his ears.

He had never even heard of the names of some of the elixirs.

Lin Chen's talent is even higher than those children of the powerful and wealthy in the capital city, and his path of cultivation is even more different.

"You now need to find a teacher who can guide you in the subsequent practice of martial arts."

Yu Yongnian said seriously, "Actually, you shouldn't have mentioned me too much in that article. It will affect your apprenticeship."

Any strong man who is willing to accept someone as his disciple will be extremely grateful to the other instructor.

"Master Yu, I recently became a disciple of a new teacher."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, feeling warm in his heart. Only Teacher Yu could consider him so carefully.

"Have you become my disciple? What is your status?" Yu Yongnian asked.

"The teacher used to be the deputy director of the Military Administration Department, but now he has resigned and returned to Linhu Village with me."

Yu Yongnian's pupils suddenly shrank. The former deputy director of the Military Affairs Department must be a fifth-rank or even fourth-rank expert...

hiss!
Lin Chen's thigh is so thick.

And since this person has returned to Linhu Village with Lin Chen, he must be very concerned about Lin Chen. It is definitely not the kind of person who takes Lin Chen under his wing just because of Lin Chen's recent popularity and wants to bring glory to himself.

"In that case, I feel relieved."

Yu Yongnian patted Lin Chen on the shoulder and said, "Take me to meet your teacher."

"Ah."

……

……

An hour later.

Lin Chen sent Yu Yongnian to the village entrance.

"Okay, just send it here. It is your blessing to be able to have Lord Jia as your teacher. You must cherish it."

Yu Yongnian raised his hand to stop Lin Chen from sending him off. Since he had come to Linhu Village, he planned to go back to the martial arts hall to meet Instructors Liu and Chen. The three of them had worked together in the martial arts hall for several years and had a good relationship.

Yu Yongnian accompanied Lin Chen to meet Lord Jia and had tea and chatted with him for a while. When he knew that Lord Jia only accepted Lin Chen as his disciple, he was completely relieved.

He can no longer guide Lin Chen's growth now, but Lord Jia is just the right person.

"Whether you leave your name in Wudao Mountain or become a role model for Jiangnan Dao students, it is your honor. Don't let it become a burden. Just remember your original intention of learning martial arts."

Patting Lin Chen on the shoulder, Yu Yongnian gave him one last reminder. He was afraid that Lin Chen would feel pressured in his martial arts training with such a halo now, and that this glory would become a burden to him.

"The disciple understands."

Lin Chen nodded heavily. Instructor Yu was afraid that because he had the title of genius, he would strive to be the first in his future cultivation, which would put too much pressure on him.

"I still trust you, go back."

Yu Yongnian mounted his horse and waved, but Lin Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Teacher, when will you go to Master's wife's house to propose marriage?" Uh...

Yu Yongnian staggered and almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, as a martial artist, he reacted quickly. After stabilizing himself, he glared at Lin Chen unhappily and said, "This is not your business."

Snapped!
Yu Yongnian slapped the reins and rode away, but just when he had galloped about ten feet, a voice was heard.

"I will go to your master's family to propose marriage at the end of the year."

Hearing the voice coming from the teacher, Lin Chen also laughed. The teacher seemed shy and embarrassed.

At the end of the year, I should still be in Poyang County, and maybe I can catch the wedding banquet of my teacher and his wife.

……

……

The capital of Daliang State.

Shen Mansion!

"Shen Ze, considering the good relationship between our two families, I'm going to give you a piece of advice. If you want to leave your name in Wudao Mountain, you'd better hurry up."

"Ye Feng, what do you mean?"

"It's too late. I'm afraid you won't have a chance."

Ye Feng lowered his voice and said, "I have news for you. There is a fierce man who may break the record of Wudao Mountain. While this fierce man has not yet reached that level, you should hurry up and leave your name on Wudao Mountain. This way, even if you are challenged by this fierce man later, you will at least have left your name on Wudao Mountain."

"Strong man, where did this strong man come from?"

Shen Ze frowned, then thought of something: "Are you talking about Lin Chen from Jiangnan Road?"

"Yes, it's this guy. He's so fierce."

Ye Feng was too embarrassed to talk about the shame of being slapped away by Lin Chen.

"Have you ever fought against him?"

Shen Ze chuckled. It was already very good for a warrior to leave his name on Wudao Mountain once.

"Not only did I fight him at Martial Arts Mountain, I also fought him at Jiangnan Road. In short, this guy definitely has the ability to break the record of Martial Arts Mountain."

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Shen Ze's expression also became serious: "You are planning to attack the 19th opening of the Wudao Mountain, right? So Lin Chenbujin left his name at the 18th opening of the Wudao Mountain, and also left his name at the 19th opening. So it seems that the same person left his name twice at Jiangnan Road?"

"Ah."

Ye Feng nodded. Not many people knew about this. At least, few people in the capital knew about it yet.

"He left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain twice in a row. His strength is indeed not to be underestimated."

"Stop bragging. What do you mean by not to be underestimated? You talk as if you can do it."

Ye Feng rolled his eyes at Shen Ze. When Lin Chen reached the twenty-first level of enlightenment, Shen Ze would not be able to escape the same fate as himself and would be brutally beaten by Lin Chen.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. While Lin Chen is still in the process of awakening, hurry up and go to Wudao Mountain to challenge him. Otherwise, you won't have another chance in the future."

"Why rush? Lin Chen has only opened nineteen acupoints now. It will take at least a month to reach twenty-one. Even if Lin Chen opens twenty-one acupoints, he can't challenge Wudao Mountain right away. He has to cultivate until he is close to opening twenty-second acupoint before going to Wudao Mountain. There are still two months left."

Shen Ze was not in a hurry. He needed to wait until his strength improved a little more so that he could leave his name in Wudao Mountain and would not be defeated by Yue Lingxu.

Yue Lingxu was just waiting for him to leave his name on Wudao Mountain first and then defeat him.

It’s a good plan, but unfortunately I have the same idea. In the end it all depends on who is stronger.

"Anyway, I have reminded you of what I should have reminded you of. Don't regret it later."

Seeing that Shen Ze didn't take his words seriously, Ye Feng stopped trying to persuade him.

……

……

In Linhu Village, a cruise ship docks at the shore of Linhu Village every day, and then people carry boxes of things to the back mountain.

At first, the villagers of Linhu Village were a little curious, but since the people moving the boxes were all warriors, the villagers of Linhu Village just watched from afar and did not dare to go forward to take a closer look.

At first, the villagers stopped out of curiosity, but as more boats stopped every day, the villagers' curiosity gradually disappeared. At most, they would take a few curious glances when they went out to fish in the lake.

Back mountain!

Jia Nanzhu had a booklet in her hand, which recorded the resources sent by the Wuzheng Hall.

Pills, monster meat...

Looking at the lines of numbers above, Jia Nanzhu was also a little shocked.

In less than ten days, the amount of cultivation resources consumed by Lin Chen has reached an astonishing number.

As the deputy director of the Martial Arts Department, Jia Nanzhu is very clear about the resource consumption of each martial arts school. The training resources used by Lin Chen these days are almost as much as the annual consumption of all the students in the awakening stage of a martial arts school.

In martial arts practice, accumulating resources can improve strength, but there is a limit.

But Lin Chen is like a bottomless pit, or it can be said that this upper limit has reached an astonishing level.

Fortunately, the resources needed for Lin Chen's cultivation were directly allocated by the Military Affairs Department. If Poyang County had to provide them, it might not have been enough.

Lin Chen has only opened nineteen acupoints, and there are still five acupoints to practice internal organs.

……

……

Day 14!

It’s the fourteenth day since Lin Chen returned to Linhu Village.

"panel!"

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm: Perfect Enlightenment Realm (19/24)]

[Qi and blood: 2800000/4900000]

[True Blood: 2216666]

[Wind and Cloud Palm: Perfect]

【Zhenyue Score: Double】

[Wild Wind Kick: Great Mastery (0/1)]

[Title: Ultimate Perfection (Perfection is achieved only after breaking through the limit. Wearing this title can combine similar limit-breaking realm skills into the perfect level)]

[Title: Dark to the End (The world is still undecided, you and I are both dark horses. Wearing this title, your martial arts comprehension and perception will be enhanced in the dark night)]

[Fate: [Successful outcome]: The ultimate martial arts realm, perseverance, gradual progress, unstoppable momentum, no bottlenecks.]

"Give me another day, and I should be able to break through to the 20th level of enlightenment."

There was a gleam in Lin Chen's eyes. He could feel the blood and energy surging in his body, which had begun to continuously impact the twentieth acupoint. This was a sign of a breakthrough.

"It will only take 20 days to open up the 19th to 20th acupoint. As long as the resources are sufficient, the speed will only get faster and faster..."

Alternatively, one can achieve a direct breakthrough to the Zang training realm within two months.

Thinking that he had the bonus of [Successful outcome] in his fate, his subsequent training would be faster and faster. Lin Chen felt it necessary to greet his teacher in advance, so as not to fall behind and fail to keep up with the speed at which the Wuzheng Hall was transporting resources.

Just when Lin Chen went to find his teacher, three cruise ships on the surface of Poyang Lake came towards Linhu Village almost at the same time.

Three cruise ships arrived at the pier at the same time.

Linhu Village originally had no pier. The villagers used hoes to dig a small depression for docking cruise ships. However, as Lin Chen received a commendation from the Military Administration Department, Kaohe Town allocated funds to build a pier for Linhu Village.

The current Linhu Village Pier is large enough to accommodate more than twenty cruise ships.

A middle-aged man came down from each of the three cruise ships. Two of the men looked at each other with sparks of confrontation in their eyes.

"Don't you claim that Kyoto Martial Arts Academy never recruits students outside the capital? Why are you here this time?" The middle-aged man in a robe with cloud-patterned sleeves and a sword at his waist spoke lightly.

"Where to recruit students is our Kyoto Martial Arts Academy's own business. It has nothing to do with your Qingyun Martial Arts Academy. If I remember correctly, your Qingyun Martial Arts Academy pays the most attention to the students' family background. It seems that Lin Chen does not meet the requirements of your Qingyun Martial Arts Academy." The man with thick and curly beard fought back.

Song Zhixue was secretly happy when he saw the two men starting to fight as soon as they got off the boat. Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, whenever they met, they would inevitably confront each other, and it would be best if they just fought directly.

To Song Zhixue's regret, the two of them exchanged a few words but had no intention of fighting.

……

……

At this moment, in Raozhou Prefecture, two other people appeared in front of the gate of Jiang Mansion.

"Teacher, shouldn't we go to Linhu Village? Why are we here?"

“Why are you in such a hurry? Go meet your future junior sister first, and find out about Lin Chen’s situation. The Jiangnan Dao Martial Arts Office has given too little information about Lin Chen. Our Canglan Martial Academy cannot compare with those three, so we have to start from other aspects.” A middle-aged man in a green shirt, with wide sleeves decorated with silver wavy patterns, a white face and no beard, spoke with a smile.

PS: It’s the last day, if you don’t vote for the monthly ticket it will be invalid!
