Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 194 Canglan Martial Academy Fails?
Lakeside.

The lake water rippled rhythmically, and as Lin Chen performed the Wind and Cloud Palm, the rhythm of the water lapping against the lakeshore continued to accelerate.

Kong Qifeng watched Lin Chen perform the Wind and Cloud Palm quietly, with a thoughtful look in his old eyes.

Lin Chen performed the first six moves of the Wind and Cloud Palm and did not stop there because Lord Kong did not call for a stop.

Once, twice, three times...

When he performed it for the fifth time, Kong Qifeng suddenly raised his right hand, and in an instant the wind stopped, the water was still, and the lake was calm.

Lin Chen only felt an irresistible force that made the blood in his body solidify at this moment, but the next moment this force disappeared, and the blood in his body was like a rushing river that was suddenly blocked by a dam that fell from the sky, and the next moment, as the dam disappeared, the river water roared and poured down.

Palm seven!

The energy and blood around Lin Chen reached a peak at this moment. A faint blood light appeared on his body surface again. He slapped out with his palm, and the air was torn apart with a roar.

There was a crackling sound in the air.

Close your hands.

Lin Chen looked at his trembling right hand with a gleam in his eyes. His hand was trembling because the terrifying power released by this palm was something he could not control at the moment.

If it weren't for the force that just restrained his blood and qi and ignited it in an instant, he would definitely not be able to perform the seventh move.

This trick is worth your own slow experience.

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

Lin Chen saluted towards Kong Qifeng, who had a gleam in his eyes: "Your body's Qi and blood are so strong that it is rare to see them once in a hundred years. Even some martial artists who practice internal organs can hardly have such Qi and blood. Logically speaking, only young people from a few other countries can achieve this."

By observing Lin Chen's Wind and Cloud Palm, Kong Qifeng was able to judge that the blood and energy in Lin Chen's body was much more powerful than that of other young men in Daliang.

As the Minister of Military Affairs, he had seen many geniuses in Daliang, but even Pei Qingming back then had less than half of Lin Chen's energy and blood.

"Only teenagers from other countries have this?"

Lin Chen was somewhat curious about Lord Kong's words. Why did young people from other countries have it? Why not Daliang?

"My Daliang's attitude towards the demon race is to kill them as soon as we see them, but some countries are not like that. Take Zheng State for example. The royal family itself has formed an alliance with the demon race, and the noble families below have also followed suit, selecting children with potential to merge with the demon bloodline. In terms of qi and blood, the demon race is far superior to our human race."

Seeing Lin Chen's confusion, Kong Qifeng explained that this was also the reason why, although Daliang had a prosperous martial arts, it was slightly inferior to the other eight countries in terms of top combat power.

"So that's it."

Lin Chen nodded. He could understand what Lord Kong said. That is, those countries let some young people fuse and absorb the blood of the demon race. Some demons are born with great strength or swift speed. This is the advantage of the demon race compared to the human race.

With the fusion of their bloodlines, these young men are born with supernatural powers or amazing speeds, and the blood and energy in their bodies are naturally more powerful.

"My disciple has strong Qi and blood, which must be related to the technique I practice. When I went to the special training ground, I met Senior Zhao..."

Lin Chen briefly recounted his experience of taking a medicinal bath with Senior Zhao at the special training ground.

Kong Qifeng nodded: "I have read your experience. This method of cultivation is too extreme. It requires a lot from the cultivator. In other words, apart from you, I am afraid no one can do it."

An ultimate warrior, with amazing comprehension, amazing perseverance, and the ability to endure the pain...

If a child from a poor family wants to bring honor to the country, he has to endure several times more hardships than ordinary people.

"With your current Qi and blood, after entering the stage of training the internal organs, the general training methods for training the internal organs are not suitable for you. I will choose a suitable training method for you..."

Hearing that Lord Kong wanted to choose a method for him to practice internal organs, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Lord, I once learned a method of practicing internal organs in Wudao Mountain, called Nine-Turn True Blood Practice Internal Organs."

"Nine-turn True Blood Training?"

Kong Qifeng pondered. He knew all the martial arts techniques of Daliang, but he had never heard of the Nine Revolutions True Blood Method to Refine the Internal Organs. Could it be... that the techniques came from that place?
"Since it is the martial arts method passed down to you by Wu Dao Mountain, it is of course the most suitable one for you. However, do not disclose the name of this martial arts method to the public. Even if someone asks about it, just say that it is the Daliang internal organs training secret method, which was awarded to you by the Ministry of Martial Arts."

"Sir, is this technique special?"

When Lin Chen saw Kong Qifeng's serious look, he was a little surprised. It was just a method of practicing internal organs. It shouldn't be a big deal for Lord Kong.

"Just remember what I said."

Kong Qifeng did not explain to Lin Chen, because this involved some things that happened to Emperor Taizu in the past. In the entire Daliang, apart from a few people in the royal family, only the first-class warriors like them knew the inside story.

As if he was afraid that his serious expression would make Lin Chen hesitate, Kong Qifeng smiled again and said, "I heard that you are learning from Pei Qingming and you want to wait until you break through the internal organs before choosing a martial arts academy?"

"I am not trying to learn from Senior Pei. Senior Pei's natural talent is beyond my reach. I just want to get the best treatment for myself. The more times I leave my name in Wudao Mountain, the better the treatment I will get from the Wushu Academy."

Lin Chen scratched his head, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"It's sincere."

Kong Qifeng was very satisfied with Lin Chen's answer: "In terms of martial arts talent, you are still a little behind Pei Qingming, but you are strong in Qi and blood. From this aspect, Canglan Martial Arts Academy is the most suitable for you. It is close to the East China Sea, where there are many sea monsters, which has an advantage in Qi and blood nourishment."

"Sir, are you recommending me to go to Canglan Martial Academy?"

"It's not a recommendation. If it were a recommendation, I would have wanted you to go to the Demon Slayer Academy, but now I think I'd rather give up."

"Demon Slaying Academy?"

Lin Chen thought of the five martial arts academies in Daliang, and only the Demon-Slaying Martial Arts Academy had never contacted him. He had been having this doubt in his mind these days. Logically speaking, with the talent he had displayed, the Demon-Slaying Martial Arts Academy should not have had no reaction.

"Could it be..."

Swish!
A thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and he looked at Kong Qifeng with shock.

"Do you understand?"

Kong Qifeng saw Lin Chen's shocked look, stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, I am the instructor of the Demon Slayer Academy."

"Brother... I really didn't expect this."

The Minister of Military Affairs and a first-rank warrior would actually come here to represent the Demon-Slaying Martial Arts Academy.

How can other martial arts academies compare with this?
"I originally wanted you to go to the Demon Slayer Academy because although the resources of the Demon Slayer Academy are not as good as those of the other four academies and it is even rejected by the other eight nations, it is at the forefront of the battle against the demons of the northern border. As long as you survive in the Demon Slayer Academy, your growth rate will be the fastest."

Kong Qifeng looked at Lin Chen and said, "But after seeing you, I changed my mind. The Demon Slaying Academy is not suitable for you. Instead, the Canglan Academy is more suitable for you."

"The Demon Slaying Academy is not suitable for disciples?"

"The reason why the nine countries built martial arts academies is because there is no one country that dominates the entire martial arts resources. Each country has its own unique features. But once you enter the Demon Slaying Martial Arts Academy, you may not be able to go to other countries in the future. The disciples of the Demon Slaying Martial Arts Academy are prohibited from entering by four countries."

"Barred from entering?"

Lin Chen's expression became strange. The Demon-Slaying Martial Arts Academy was enjoying the resources of nine countries, but at the same time it was banned from entering by four of them?

"When the Demon Slayer Academy was first established, it joined the Nine Nations Martial Academy system along with the Canglan Martial Academy. At that time, the other eight nations did not find anything different about the Demon Slayer Academy. It was only later that the other nations discovered that the disciples of the Demon Slayer Academy had never left Daliang, and that every disciple of the Demon Slayer Academy had served as an official in the court and joined the military. Four of the nations used this as an excuse to block the disciples of the Demon Slayer Academy."

Hearing what Lord Kong said, Lin Chen's mouth twitched. The reason for the blockade was really unfounded.

"The philosophy of the Nine Nations United Martial Arts Academy is to cultivate martial arts talents regardless of nationality. Naturally, there cannot be too obvious signs of imperial interference, at least on the surface."

Lin Chen instantly understood Kong Qifeng's explanation.

Isn't this what they mean by "martial arts have no national boundaries"?

However, warriors are divided by national boundaries.

"I was originally worried that you would enter other martial arts academies and eventually be poached by other countries. However, after hearing what you said today, I don't have to worry about that. If that's the case, the Demon Slayer Academy is actually inferior to the other four martial arts academies."

"Has anyone been poached from the martial arts academy?"

"Yes, and there are more and more of them in recent years."

When this matter was mentioned, Kong Qifeng's face turned cold. Lin Chen asked in confusion: "Now that Daliang's martial arts are flourishing, will someone still be poached?"

"It is because of the prosperity of martial arts in Daliang that many martial arts families were born. Some people always feel that Daliang does not cultivate enough geniuses, at least compared to other countries, the resources provided are not enough. However, these people forget that if Daliang only cultivated geniuses from the beginning, it is hard to say whether their fathers or even grandfathers could become qualified martial artists."

Kong Qifeng snorted. The prosperity of Daliang also hides many hidden dangers, and the biggest hidden danger is the martial arts families that have grown up in the past hundred years. These people were grateful to Daliang before their ancestors became famous, and they were grateful that Daliang gave them the opportunity to learn martial arts. But now that they have become martial arts families, they want the same treatment as the other eight countries.

Let Daliang invest more martial arts resources in geniuses, and the so-called geniuses are the children of their clan, and reduce the supply of martial arts resources to ordinary people.

"Lin Chen, I want you to do something."

"Please speak, sir!" Lin Chen said immediately.

"I left my name on the Martial Arts Mountain six times to show some people what a true genius is, and to let them know that geniuses can also emerge from humble backgrounds."

Lin Chen hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "Disciple should go all out!"

"Why don't you ask me why I want you to do this? What will happen to you if you do this?"

"Those martial arts families and the children of the rich and powerful will bear a grudge against them."

Lin Chen answered quickly. From the moment Lord Kong spoke, he understood what Lord Kong was going to do.

These martial arts families have gradually grown, and it is undeniable that they have become a huge force in Daliang. Even someone as powerful as Lord Kong cannot arbitrarily reject the suggestions of these people. Some of these people may even hold high positions in the court.

Lord Kong wants to push himself forward to tell these martial arts families that you want Daliang to allocate more resources to martial arts geniuses.

you can!

Then you have to prove that you are a true genius!
Only someone like me who can leave a name in the martial arts mountain can be considered a true genius.

That Senior Pei also came from a martial arts family, so his status was not suitable, but his humble origin just proved that the way of education that the Ministry of Martial Arts had been doing for so many years was correct.

"You are not afraid?"

Kong Qifeng stared at Lin Chen, and Lin Chen gave a bitter smile: "How could I not be afraid? But I was able to get to where I am today because Daliang gave us, young people from ordinary families, a chance. I also hope that young people in the future can also have such an opportunity."

The two looked at each other, and Kong Qifeng realized that Lin Chen was not saying that to please him.

"Remember what you said today."

Kong Qifeng patted Lin Chen on the shoulder. From that moment on, Lin Chen would be secretly included in the list of seed students of Daliang’s Military and Political Department. However, in the three hundred years since the founding of Daliang, there were only six seed students.

……

……

Kong Qifeng came to Linhu Village quickly and left quickly. He only stayed in Linhu Village for an hour in total.

With the departure of Kong Qifeng, the entire large group followed him, and Linhu Village returned to peace.

Nine days later!
Lin Chen opened up twenty-two acupoints and left his name again in Wudao Mountain.

So far, I have left my name five times!
Daliang was founded 300 years ago, and he was the second genius to leave his name on the Martial Arts Mountain five times.

Lin Chen's name began to appear on other streets for the first time.

It is not limited to the awakening realm, even some internal training and entry-level warriors have heard of Lin Chen's name.

next day!

The vice presidents of the three martial arts academies arrived in Jiangnan Road almost at the same time and appeared in Linhu Village.

This time, Jia Nanzhu did not stop the three of them. The vice presidents of the martial arts academy were all top-grade warriors.

Liu Ru looked at the vice-presidents of the other three martial arts academies, but he was secretly anxious in his heart. Why hadn't the vice-president of his own martial arts academy come yet?
Facing these three vice presidents, he lacked confidence.

Although Lin Chen had a better impression of Canglan Martial Arts Academy, the conditions offered by the academy were what ultimately determined which academy Lin Chen chose.

He is just an admissions instructor, so the authority he possesses cannot be compared with that of the three vice-presidents.

"Junior Brother Jia, where is Lin Chen?"

The three vice presidents frowned when they saw that only Jia Nanzhu was there but not Lin Chen. Since the three vice presidents had come in person, it was reasonable for Lin Chen to meet them as well.

Even Pei Qingming at the time was just standing by to recruit students and teach. When the vice-president came, he took the time to come out and meet him.

"Three brothers, I am not trying to stop you from meeting Lin Chen, but Master Kong told you before he left that Lin Chen should concentrate on his training and not be distracted. As for the matter of the martial arts academy, we can talk about it after we break through the internal organs."

Jia Nanzhu mentioned Lord Kong. Lord Kong did not say these words, but it seems that Lord Kong would not mind if she borrowed his name.

There was only one reason why he prevented the three vice presidents from meeting Lin Chen. A day ago, Jiang Duanchao came to Linhu Village and brought only one message. Before someone from Canglan Martial Arts Academy came, no matter what conditions other martial arts academies offered, they should not agree.

Canglan Martial Academy is extremely sincere towards Lin Chen!
They were extremely sincere, but had not shown up yet. Jia Nanzhu naturally knew that Canglan Martial Arts Academy was not trying to delay time and wait for the three martial arts academies to lose patience before taking advantage of them.

There is only one explanation: the conditions that Canglan Martial Arts Academy prepared for Lin Chen require time to prepare.

After hearing what Jia Nanzhu said, the three vice presidents were somewhat helpless. Since Lord Kong had been brought up, they had no choice but to accept it no matter how dissatisfied they were.

"Junior Brother Jia, this time our Qingyun Martial Academy is very sincere, how about we talk in private first?"

The vice president of Qingyun Martial Arts Academy looked at Jia Nanzhu. In his opinion, Lin Chen was the son of a fisherman and didn't know much about martial arts. In the end, the decision of which martial arts academy to go to would still be made by Jia Nanzhu.

As long as Jia Nanzhu agrees, Lin Chen will not be able to escape.

"Let's wait together. There's no need to rush. I'll treat the three brothers to tea."

Jia Nanzhu made a gesture of invitation, and the three vice presidents looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. There was nothing they could do, as they were the weaker party now.

For ordinary martial arts geniuses, the martial arts academy takes the initiative, but for geniuses like Lin Chen, the martial arts academy is on the contrary very passive.

Just as the three vice-presidents were moving, an old man came slowly towards them from a distance. His steps seemed slow, but he arrived in front of them in just a few breaths.

"Of course you have to drink the tea that Junior Brother Jia brews, but before you drink it, you might as well listen to the conditions that my Canglan Martial Academy offers to Lin Chen."

The person who came was He Jingren, the vice president of Canglan Martial Academy.

"President He, you are here!"

Liu Ru, who had been standing aside without saying a word, was very excited when he saw that his dean had finally arrived. Even though he was a powerful warrior, he was very excited at this moment.

In front of these three top-grade warriors, he was just a low-grade warrior and didn't even have the right to speak.

"It seems that Senior Brother He is absolutely sure that Lin Chen will choose your Canglan Martial Academy. If so, let's each present our conditions."

When the vice presidents of the other three martial arts academies saw He Jingren appear, they looked wary, but they each had their own thoughts in their minds.

No matter what conditions Canglan Martial Arts Academy offers, just add a few more to your conditions.

"Hehe, listen carefully, the three of you. As long as Lin Chen agrees to join our Canglan Martial Academy, our Canglan Martial Academy will give Lin Chen thirty drops of thousand-year-old dragon blood. The resources Lin Chen needs to practice in the martial arts academy will be provided by our Canglan Martial Academy. Except for the rewards that can only be given after passing the assessment, Lin Chen will have a share of other martial arts academy rewards."

After He Jingren finished speaking, he looked at the three people and said, "This is the condition of my Canglan Martial Academy. Please come in, three junior brothers."

Please fuck!
The vice presidents of the three martial arts academies all looked extremely ugly.

Everything else is easy to say, but thirty drops of thousand-year-old dragon blood, what can they compare with?

Didn’t you see that the old man Jia Nanzhu’s mouth was so wide open that he couldn’t close it?
"Brother He, are you guys at Canglan Martial Academy going to drain all of our wealth?"

"Yes."

He Jingren admitted it directly and generously, and turned his gaze to Jia Nanzhu: "Junior Brother Jia, is the offer from my Canglan Martial Academy sincere enough?"

"Enough!" Jia Nanzhu agreed without any hesitation: "From now on, Lin Chen is a disciple of Canglan Martial Academy. I will make the decision for Lin Chen!"

Thirty drops of thousand-year-old dragon blood, what's the point of considering it? Only a fool would not agree.

Regardless of whether Canglan Martial Arts Academy had spent all its money, Lin Chen had made a profit anyway.
