Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 186 I still like your previous unruly look
Jiangnan Dao Wuzheng Hall.

Zhang Dingfeng accompanied Ye Yun and the other two in drinking tea.

Four people, each with their own thoughts.

For Ye Yun and the other two, they have already sent a FeiXing message to the martial arts academy. The three martial arts academies will join forces to put pressure on Canglan Martial Arts Academy, and Canglan Martial Arts Academy will definitely reprimand Liu Ru.

At the same time, the Jiangnan Dao Military Affairs Office tried to persuade Lin Chen that as long as Lin Chen changed his mind and Canglan Martial Arts Academy also agreed, the signed disciple letter would be invalidated.

After all, it was because Lin Chen had left his name in Wudao Mountain twice and his potential was there, so the three of them were unwilling to give up just like that.

Zhang Dingfeng also had his own thoughts. He was waiting for good news from Junior Brother Jia.

"Master Zhang, I wonder how the discussion between Master Zhang and Lin Chen went?"

In two days, the martial arts academy should have taken some action, Ye Yuan put down his teacup and asked.

"I am trying to persuade Lin Chen." Zhang Dingfeng said with a smile.

"Still trying to persuade me?" Luo Wen was a little dissatisfied. "Master Zhang, time is running out. We have to go to other roads. We can't stay in Jiangnan Road for too long. Once we leave Jiangnan Road, we will have no chance."

"Please wait patiently for a few more days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"I'm afraid waiting a few more days won't work. We can only wait one more day at most. If after one day, Lin Chen still hasn't made a decision, the three of us will leave."

Ye Yuan and the other two were determined. They didn't want to drag it on any longer. Just as Zhang Dingfeng was about to respond, a bell rang.

Boom!
The bell rang throughout the entire Wuzheng Hall!

Zhang Dingfeng's eyes narrowed with a gleam of light in them. The bell sound was Brother Shao summoning all officials of the Military Affairs Hall to go to the meeting hall.

"My three junior brothers, there is something important in the hall, and I have to go there."

After Zhang Dingfeng said this, he got up and left without waiting for the three people to ask.

He had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to be completely sure until he met Senior Brother Shao to verify it.

"Why do I feel that Mr. Zhang's attitude has changed a little when he heard the bell?"

Looking at Zhang Dingfeng's quickly departing figure, Ye Yuan frowned, as if the bell gave this Lord Zhang some confidence.

"Maybe something happened in Jiangnan Road, but it has nothing to do with us. If Lin Chen doesn't change his mind today, I will leave Jiangnan Road."

Song Zhixue spoke up and said that three days in Jiangnan Road was already the limit.

"Indeed, the three of us stayed in Jiangnan Dao for three days for Lin Chen, which is enough to show our respect for him. If Lin Chen still wants to choose Canglan Martial Academy, then let him go." Luo Wen nodded in agreement.

……

……

The meeting hall of the Jiangnan Dao Wuzheng Hall.

Shao Jingshan sat high in the main seat. All the officials in the Wuzheng Hall were present at this moment, more than ten people in total.

Before Zhang Dingfeng even stepped into the hall, his voice came first: "Master Shao, do you have any good news for us?"

"Ah."

Shao Jingshan didn't keep it a secret. He said "hmm", which made Zhang Dingfeng, who had just stepped into the hall, startled for a moment. Then, he looked expectant: "Is it related to Lin Chen?"

"good."

After receiving the confirmation reply, Zhang Dingfeng burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Lin Chen did a good job. Sir Shao, I'm going to meet those three guys from the martial arts academy now."

Zhang Dingfeng didn't wait for Shao Jingshan to announce the specific news. He already knew the result. Now he wanted to see if Ye Yuan and the other two were really willing to leave.

Seeing Zhang Dingfeng's hurried pace as he turned around and left just after entering the hall, Shao Jingshan was speechless. It seemed that Junior Brother Zhang had been upset these days and was in a hurry to go back.

The other people in the hall listened to the conversation between the director and the deputy director, and doubts lingered in their hearts.

They could only guess that the director had summoned them this time to announce some good news, and that this matter was related to Lin Chen.

But it is impossible to guess what the good news is.

Shao Jingshan glanced at the puzzled expressions of the people present and said directly: "Lin Chen, you left your name on Wudao Mountain today. So far, you have left your name on Wudao Mountain three times."

The tone was full of joy!

hiss!
Even though the officials of the Military Affairs Department present were at least at the eighth level, they still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Master Shao, have you confirmed it?"

Qiu Rufeng, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but speak, but he laughed after asking. If he was not sure, Lord Shao would not have summoned them.

"If you want to know whether it is confirmed or not, it is hard for me to answer you. After all, the stone wall does not show Lin Chen's name. It only shows that the person who left his name after opening the twenty points of enlightenment is from Jiangnan Dao."

When Shao Jingshan said this, other officials at the scene also laughed.

Even though he has no name, but he comes from Jiangnan Dao, and he has twenty acupoints opened, it cannot be anyone else except Lin Chen.

"I have summoned you all to inform you of this matter. In addition, I have another thing to inform you. Lord Kong from the Ministry of Military Affairs will be visiting Jiangnan Road in person."

The Ministry of Military Affairs suppressed the news that Lin Chen had left his name on Wudao Mountain for the second time. Shao Jingshan wrote to the Ministry of Military Affairs to inquire about the reason, and the answer he got was "wait".

Wait until Lin Chen leaves his name on Wudao Mountain for the third time. If Lin Chen can leave his name on Wudao Mountain for the third time, Lord Kong will come to Jiangnan Road in person.

"Master Kong is here in person?"

Qiu Rufeng and others in the hall all had excitement on their faces. Although Lord Kong did not have the title of minister, he was a minister in reality.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs has never been held since the Ministry was founded, except for the first minister.

Just because the first minister was Emperor Taizu of Daliang.

Emperor Taizu of Daliang personally served as the first Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which showed that Daliang attached great importance to the Ministry of Military Affairs. Since the death of Emperor Taizu, the post of Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs has been vacant, and the Deputy Minister has been in charge of all matters of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Lord Kong is the current Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

It has been nearly twenty years since Lord Kong last visited Jiangnan Road.

"Since Lord Kong has come to Jiangnan Road, although it is mainly because of Lin Chen, since he has come to Jiangnan Road, he must also come to see the martial arts education of my Jiangnan Martial Arts Office. You must do your part well."

"Yes!"

……

……

The guest house of Wuzheng Hall.

Zhang Dingfeng came back, and Ye Yuan and the other two looked at Zhang Dingfeng with a smile on his face with doubt in their eyes.

Back so soon?
"Does Master Zhang have any good news?"

"It's a trivial matter, nothing important."

Zhang Dingfeng smiled and waved his hand, then sat down with a humble look on his face: “It’s related to a junior from my Jiangnan Dao, and he has achieved remarkable results.”

After hearing this, Ye Yuan and the other two became even more curious. What kind of achievement could make the Wu Zheng Hall ring the bell?
"Has Jiangnan Dao produced another young genius? Sir Zhang, why don't you tell us about it? If he has the potential, the three of us can also observe him on behalf of the Martial Academy."

Ye Yuan and the other two looked at each other. Could it be that the Jiangnan Dao has really been prosperous in martial arts recently, and besides Lin Chen, there are other martial arts geniuses?

If that is the case, then they should be more polite towards Jiangnan Dao.

As the admissions instructors of the martial arts academy, they would receive high-level hospitality wherever they went. That was because they represented the martial arts academy, and each industry hoped that more students under their jurisdiction could enter the academy.

But for the martial arts academy, it also hopes that talented students can enter the academy and win a higher ranking for the academy.

For this reason, for several sects where martial arts geniuses are emerging, they have to maintain good relations with the Wu Zheng Hall. When the conditions offered by everyone are similar, the Wu Zheng Hall can influence the choices of these students.

Like the straight road, like the Jiangbei Road...

As long as it was a list sent by the Military Affairs Office, they would accept it as it was, even if the strength was slightly weaker, both sides knew it tacitly.

"No need to observe." Zhang Dingfeng waved his hand again. Ye Yuan and the other two frowned. What did he mean?
"My three junior brothers have already met this young man. He is Lin Chen from Linhu Village. The director just informed me that Lin Chen has successfully left his name in Wudao Mountain again. I didn't expect that this kid would be so hardworking and give my Wuzheng Hall such a big surprise. It's unbelievable."

Zhang Dingfeng said this in one breath. For a mid-level warrior, it was no problem to say these words in one breath, but as the deputy director of the Military Affairs Department, this was the first time that Zhang Dingfeng said so many words in one breath in all these years.

Some are long-winded, some are boastful...

But looking at the confused expressions of Ye Yuan and the other two, he felt extremely happy in his heart, especially when these people wanted to speak several times but he didn't give them a chance.

"When I first heard what the director said, I didn't believe it. Jiangnan Dao is a place with poor mountains and bad water. To put it bluntly, it's already very good to have a young genius who left his name in the martial arts mountain..."

"Master Zhang..." Ye Yuan couldn't help but want to interrupt.

"I know that after Lin Chen left his name on Wudao Mountain, many people in the same sect laughed at me, Jiangnan Sect, for promoting Lin Chen so much. Not to mention Kyoto, in the Straight Sect, every few years there will be a genius who can leave his name on Wudao Mountain..."

Zhang Dingfeng pretended not to hear Ye Yuan's words and continued talking to himself.

"The Jiangnan Dao is not as good as other Daos. The Director and I know this very well. But we didn't expect that Lin Chen was so competitive. He left his name on the Martial Dao Mountain three times. Three times... Even if we look at the entire Daliang, such a genius only appears once every few decades. Oh, by the way, do you three junior brothers know who Lin Chen defeated on the Martial Dao Mountain this time?"

Seeing that Zhang Dingfeng finally stopped and continued to ask, Ye Yuan and the other two immediately said, "No... I don't know, who did Lin Chen defeat?"

It’s no wonder they don’t know, the awakening realm is still too low. They are more concerned about leaving their names on Wudao Mountain, and rarely pay attention to who the geniuses are who left their names in the various awakening places on Wudao Mountain.

"Pei Qingming, the one who opened twenty acupoints and left his name is Pei Qingming!"

"what!"

"Junior Brother Pei!"

Song Zhixue was the first one who couldn't sit still and stood up suddenly, and the same went for Ye Yuan and Luo Wen.

Having left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain three times, his potential is extremely amazing, but the degree of shock he caused was far less than that of defeating Pei Qingming and leaving his name on the Martial Arts Mountain.

Pei Qingming was recognized as the greatest genius of Daliang in the past three hundred years. And because he was still alive, several people present had seen Pei Qingming. It was because they had seen Pei Qingming with their own eyes that they knew how powerful Pei Qingming was.

"Pei Qingming left his name five times in Wudao Mountain, from the 20th to the 24th place. If I remember correctly, he once said that except for the 20th place, which was his first time leaving his name with all his strength, and the 24th place being the last place of the opening, he did not leave his name with all his strength in the other three places."

"Yes."

Song Zhixue nodded. Junior Brother Pei came from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, and he was also from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, so naturally he knew a lot about Junior Brother Pei's deeds.

Junior Brother Pei left his name on Wudao Mountain five times in a row, causing a sensation in all the martial arts halls and martial arts academies in Daliang.

Among them, the twenty acupoints were the first place where Junior Brother Pei left his name. Junior Brother Pei said that he tried his best, and the same was true for the twenty-four acupoints. As for the three acupoints in the middle, Junior Brother Pei mentioned them just to give them a name.

At the beginning, some people suspected that Junior Brother Pei was bragging, but after more than ten years, from the twenty-first to the twenty-third acupoints were opened, these three acupoints were replaced by the names of other geniuses, but the 20th and 24th acupoints remained unbreakable.

Including those geniuses who have successfully left their names in the world, they all said that Junior Brother Pei, who has opened up to the twentieth degree, is terrifying.

Geniuses in the entire Daliang who have ambitions to leave their names in the Martial Arts Mountain will avoid the twenty openings of acupoints. As for the twenty-fourth opening of acupoints, it is the last attempt after breaking through the opening state. Unfortunately, no one can succeed.

Lin Chen left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain three times, which was enough to prove that he had great potential, and there was only one person like him in Daliang every few decades. But the third time he left his name was when he defeated Pei Qingming, who had opened up twenty points of enlightenment, and his potential rose several levels.

"Master Zhang, the three of us are going to Linhu Village again!"

face?

No more!
At this moment, Ye Yuan and the other two were filled with regret. How could they have forgotten that Lin Chen would leave his name on Wudao Mountain and would have to face Pei Qingming next? If Lin Chen had said that he wanted to challenge Pei Qingming, they would have agreed.

It's no wonder they couldn't think of it. What Lin Chen said was to challenge the Martial Arts Mountain to keep his name, and he didn't say that it must be the opening of twenty acupoints. It is completely possible to skip the opening of twenty acupoints and wait until the realm breaks through to challenge the opening of twenty-one or twenty-second acupoints.

"Go to Linhu Village? Aren't the three junior brothers going back?"

Zhang Dingfeng asked the question even though he knew the answer. He felt extremely happy when he saw the three people being speechless and frustrated.

Aren't you looking down on me, Jiangnan Dao? Aren't you planning to join forces to put pressure on me?
Keep looking down on me!

Keep up the pressure!
If you have the guts, leave now!
Where has the pride of your martial arts academy gone?

"Master Zhang, we were at fault this time. Didn't your office recommend ten students? I gave each of them an invitation letter from Lingxiao Martial Academy."

Song Zhixue could hear the sarcasm in Lord Zhang's words, but the situation was stronger than the person. The most important thing was that Lin Chen had a bad impression of their three martial arts academies. If he didn't remedy the situation, it would be useless to rush back to Linhu Village.

"My Qingyun Martial Academy can also do that."

"It's the same with my Kyoto Martial Academy."

Ye Yuan and Luo Wen also followed Song Zhixue and expressed their opinions. It was just an invitation letter. Having an invitation letter only increased the chance of passing compared to taking the independent assessment, but whether one could pass in the end still depended on one's own strength.

"I hope Mr. Zhang can explain for our three families in front of Lin Chen."

When Zhang Dingfeng heard what these three people said, he was secretly happy. Ten invitation letters, three martial arts academies means thirty invitation letters. Even if these thirty invitation letters are only given to ten students, each student can go to each martial arts academy to participate in the assessment. If they pass the assessment in the first time, it means that there are two invitation letters left to give to other students.

There are hundreds of students in Jiangnan Dao who meet the requirements for internal organ training, and thirty cards can be completely digested.

"Since the three junior brothers have said so, I will naturally not remain indifferent. Don't worry, I will go to Poyang County with the three junior brothers."

Zhang Dingfeng also wanted to go to Linhu Village to meet Lin Chen, but before that, he had to get the invitation letter.

"This invitation?"

"Master Zhang, wait a moment. I'll go back to my room and get it."

Ye Yuan and the other two clasped their fists and left. The bags they carried with them on this trip were filled with invitations.

"My three junior brothers, please don't write your names on the invitation letter. Let the Military Affairs Office decide which student it should be given to." Zhang Dingfeng reminded them.

Ye Yuan and the other two paused. According to the rules, they should write down the names of the invited students on the invitation letters. However, Lord Zhang wanted them to just stamp the seal without writing the names. This way, the Jiangnan Dao Wuzheng Hall could write the name of anyone they wanted to go to the martial arts academy.

This... is beyond their authority.

"can!"

Song Zhixue hesitated for only a moment before agreeing. Compared to being able to recruit a genius like Junior Brother Pei, these invitations were nothing.

Even though Lin Chen cannot compare to Senior Pei, the potential he has shown so far has reached the hundred-year level, and it is worth it for the martial arts academy to do so.

“Haha, Junior Brother Song, don’t worry. When I see Lin Chen, I will definitely explain to him on behalf of Lingxiao Martial Academy.”

After hearing what Zhang Dingfeng said, Ye Yuan and Luo Wen did not hesitate and agreed.

If it's any later, I'm afraid there will be no chance at all.

Watching the three people hurriedly walking out of the courtyard, Zhang Dingfeng could no longer bear it and burst into laughter, without even caring that with the strength of Song Zhixue and the other two, his laughter could be heard even after they walked out of the courtyard.

The situation has reversed. Now the three martial arts academies have to ask the Military Administration Department for help. Even if they heard it, they have to pretend not to hear it.

……

……

Tokaido!
Canglan Martial Arts Academy.

"Send a message to Liu Ru, telling him to bring Lin Chen to Canglan Martial Academy no matter what!"

"By the way, Liu Ru's letter mentioned that Jiang Qing, who has a good relationship with Lin Chen, is the son of Jiang Duanchao, who also graduated from Canglan Martial Academy. Junior Brother Chen, you were the one who taught Jiang Duanchao when he entered the academy. Please write to Jiang Duanchao. The academy needs his help."

Lingxiao City.

Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

In the national capital, Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, the same instructions were sent out at this moment.

On the second day after the four martial arts academies took action, an official document from the Ministry of Military Affairs caused a huge storm in the military administration offices throughout Daliang.

Lin Chen from Raozhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Road left his name on Wudao Mountain three times!

This piece of news was shocking, but what was even more shocking was that the Ministry of Military Affairs added a special sentence at the end: Leave your name at the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth openings!

Not many people remember who the predecessors were who opened the eighteenth and nineteenth acupoints. But many people remember who opened the twentyth acupoints.

Pei Qingming!
Lin Chen defeated Pei Qingming!
