Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 200: Leave your name before breaking through (Subscribe)

[Twenty-three Acupoints: Year 299 of Daliang Calendar, Lin Chen on Jiangnan Road]

The bell of the Military Administration Department rang!
The news quickly spread to the ears of all the Daliang warriors who were paying attention to this matter.

Even though the Ministry of Military Affairs did not announce it, the three words "Jiangnan Road" could be seen in the Military Affairs Offices of various provinces.

The three words "Jiangnan Road" are enough to explain the identity of the person who left his name.

Lin Chen of Jiangnan Road, still successfully challenged those warriors with demon blood.

"Good boy, you are really trying your best. I have long been fed up with those people who keep saying that Daliang needs to reform and accept the blood of the demon race like other countries. Facts have proved that even without the blood of the demon race, the young men of Daliang are just as good as them."

In the capital, when the words of a former first-class warrior who had also retired in his own residence were spread by outsiders, the whole of Daliang began to shake.

He was the former left prime minister of Daliang. His prestige in Daliang was a bit higher than Lord Kong, and only second to the old Marquis of Zhenbei.

When the old man spoke, the direction of the entire court changed again.

Jiangbei Road.

In the old man’s thatched cottage, several men in their fifties gathered, all with anxious looks on their faces.

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

These men are all big shots in Jiangbei. When they stomp their feet, the whole of Jiangbei will shake. Now they are all in a panic.

It’s really because the person who spoke has such high prestige.

"No hurries!"

The old man had a dissatisfied look on his face, with a fierce look in his eyes: "It is still unknown who will win. Lin Chen only left his name at 23 places on Wudao Mountain, and there are still 24 places left. Now that it has come to this, there is no need to keep them. Arrange people to challenge all the places where Lin Chen left his name on Wudao Mountain."

"Teacher...will this completely anger Master Kong?"

"Do you think Kong Qifeng will let you go after what you have done?" The old man had a sarcastic look on his face. "Now you have no way out. You can only stop Lin Chen from becoming a model martial arts student in Daliang to prove that you are right. Don't forget that there are many families in Daliang who are watching. If you win over these people, even Kong Qifeng can't do anything to you."

Introducing the bloodline of the demon race and cultivating high-quality warriors would be beneficial to many martial arts families in Daliang.

The reason why these martial arts families in Daliang were silent was simply because they were still watching. The key to this confrontation lay in whether they could stop Lin Chen from leaving his name at the twenty-four places on Martial Arts Mountain.

Even if he wins, Lin Chen won't be able to become a role model for Daliang students, and Kong Qifeng will have to resign from his position as Minister of Military Affairs.

Lost...

Everyone present was well aware of the consequences of losing, which was why they were anxious.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master. I understand what to do. I will arrange it right away."

……

……

In Jiangbei, Hedong... and other places, many families have begun to take action.

"Father, I failed."

A young man who had opened up twenty-two things came down from the Martial Arts Mountain with a look of disappointment on his face.

"It doesn't matter. We are not the only ones challenging Lin Chen. There are others as well. You have done your best."

The young father comforted his son, and such scenes were played out in many places in Daliang. The number of people who entered Wudao Mountain on that day also broke the previous record, with as many as a hundred people climbing up Wudao Mountain.

However, after a day, these people discovered in despair that Lin Chen's reputation in Wudao Mountain was as stable as Mount Tai!
"Grandfather, my grandson is incompetent. He couldn't even take a blow from Lin Chen."

"You couldn't even take a single blow?"

There was a look of disbelief on the old man's face. His grandson had demon blood in his body. Although it was only ninth-grade demon blood and he had not been able to fully absorb it, how could he not be able to take on Lin Chen's palm?
"I... I didn't even see Lin Chen's speed clearly before he knocked me off the Martial Arts Mountain with one palm."

The young man felt very ashamed, and at the same time there was deep self-doubt in his eyes. You know, he had been instilled in him by his family since he was a child that the warriors of Daliang had not integrated the blood of the demon clan, their physical strength was not as good as those of other countries, and they had no advantage before entering the realm of martial arts.

He believed in the words of his elders at home without a doubt. After he went abroad, he came into contact with foreign warriors of the same age. He found that they were far superior to him in both speed and strength, which also verified the words of his elders.

He scoffed at his childhood playmates who said he had betrayed Daliang.

He did not betray Daliang, he was just seeking a breakthrough in his own martial arts. What's wrong with that?
Emperor Taizu has been dead for two hundred years. Could it be that everything he said was right?
"Grandfather, could it be that Lin Chen has also merged with the blood of the demon race?"

After asking this question, the young man shook his head to deny it. If Lin Chen had also merged with the blood of the demon clan, it would be impossible for him to leave his name in Wudao Mountain.

……

……

Three days!

When Lin Chen left his name in six places on Wudao Mountain, it was still firmly visible on the stone wall with the nominations on Wudao Mountain.

The entire Daliang Kaiqiao realm circle was in an uproar!

"Haha, this really makes me laugh to death. Wang Chao came back from abroad yesterday. I heard that after heading to the Martial Arts Mountain, he didn't even last three breaths before he was blasted down."

"So what if we have demon blood? We must die in front of Lin Chen!"

Ye Feng was very excited and waved his fist. Shen Ze standing by couldn't stand it any longer: "Seeing you so excited, someone who didn't know would think it was you who left your name."

"Although it is Lin Chen who left his name, it does not stop me from being excited. I have long had enough of these grandsons' remarks, saying that Daliang must change, learn to be open and tolerant, learn to let go of hatred and look forward. I look forward to his uncle. My Ye family has died fighting against the monsters for five generations. Until now, there are still hundreds of spirit tablets of our clan members in the ancestral hall. Just one sentence makes me let go of my hatred. If I let it go, how can I have the face to go to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors of the Ye family?"

Listening to Ye Feng's words, Shen Ze nodded. He and Ye Feng had the same idea on this point.

In the past, the Shen family lost many ancestors in the battle to slay demons, but now their descendants want to integrate the demon bloodline, which is a blasphemy to their ancestors.

"These grandsons first mentioned the bloodline of the demon clan. If they really succeed, will we have to reconcile with the demon clan? In the end, will we let the demon clan enter our Daliang again?"

Although he is just a junior, Ye Feng is not a fool. He has also listened to the analysis of his family elders on what these people are going to do.

A lot can happen in three days.

The martial arts families in Daliang are not fools. They know very well that Lin Chen will face many challenges in these three days, but his name still appears steadily on the Martial Arts Mountain, which explains everything.

This battle without gunpowder is about to come to an end.

Jiangbei!

"Why? Lin Chen hasn't integrated the blood of the demon race, how can his strength reach this level!"

There was anger in the eyes of several important figures in Jiangbei. If you look closely, you can also see a hint of fear in their eyes.

A young man who has become enlightened, who was never in their eyes in the past, no matter how many times he left his name in Wudao Mountain, in their eyes he was just a little guy with potential.

They could never have imagined that the one who would decide the direction of their fight was this little smart boy.

"We must open the twenty-fourth level of the mind. We must not let Lin Chen succeed in challenging us, otherwise we will be completely finished."

……

……

Poyang Lake outside Linhu Village.

The lake seems calm, but there are many cruise ships patrolling regularly.

"Sir, did you ever think that there would be such a day?" Lu Tongzhi looked at his master and asked in a low voice.

"I could have imagined that Lin Chen would become famous in the martial arts competition, but I didn't expect it to be so fast and so amazing."

On the cruise ship, Fang Ze shook his head. Lin Chen's progress was beyond his imagination.

Not long ago, the commander-in-chief arranged for almost all of their Poyang Guards to go out and set up a tight net throughout the entire Poyang Lake just to protect Lin Chen.

The entire Poyang Guard was mobilized for a bright young man. In the past, if someone dared to tell him about this, he would have slapped the person and said something ridiculous.

"Fortunately, you reminded me at the beginning, so I didn't offend this person."

Lu Tongzhi admired his master's vision very much. Not only did he establish a good relationship with Lin Chen in advance, but he also gave him some advice at the beginning. Otherwise, he would really have to compete with Lin Chen for the corpse of the snake demon and make Lin Chen hate him, which would make his life difficult in the future.

"Patrol seriously. Once Lin Chen has mastered twenty-four points, we can evacuate."

Fang Ze also knew something about the recent undercurrents in the court. Now everyone was waiting for Lin Chen to leave his name in the Twenty-four Openings.

In order to prevent some people from being so cruel as to attack Lin Chen, they, the Poyang Guards, were dispatched. And Fang Ze believed that it was not just them, the Poyang Guards. At this moment, with Linhu Village and Poyang County as the center, there might be many qualified warriors secretly watching. If anyone dared to reach out, they would surely be hit by thunder.

……

……

The Shu family of Raozhou Prefecture.

As the future son-in-law of the Shu family, Yu Yongnian moved into the Shu family in advance at the invitation of Mr. Shu.

"uncle."

In the yard, Yu Yongnian was practicing. When he saw his future Taiyue and a middle-aged man coming in, he quickly opened his mouth to greet them.

"Yongnian, let me introduce you. This is Lord Xu, the deputy director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture."

"I have met Lord Xu."

"Haha, Master Yu, there's no need to be so polite. You are the model of my Jiangnan Dao master. We have the same official rank. You can just call me Senior Brother."

Xu Luncai spoke with a smile, and at the same time glanced at Mr. Shu beside him. Mr. Shu understood that Mr. Xu had something to discuss privately with his future son-in-law. Although he didn't know what Mr. Xu wanted to talk to his future son-in-law about, he was still willing to give him this face.

Although the Shu family is one of the four major families in Raozhou, it has been declining in recent years, and its influence in Raozhou Prefecture has gradually weakened. Originally, Mr. Shu hoped that his daughter would marry into another family. When he learned that his daughter was with a young tutor, he was very angry. He was angry at his daughter's ignorance, and even more angry that his eldest son helped his daughter hide it from him.

Just as he was about to recall his daughter, news came from the Raozhou Military Affairs Department that a young genius named Lin Chen had emerged in Raozhou Prefecture, and the instructor of this young genius happened to be the man who kidnapped his daughter.

Because of this, Grandpa Shu immediately sent someone to find out about Lin Chen's situation in detail. He learned that Lin Chen and Yu Yongnian were not just an ordinary teacher and student relationship. Although they were not master and apprentice in name, they were master and apprentice in reality. In the end, he chose to pretend to be ignorant for the time being.

To this day, Mr. Shu still admires his original decision.

This wait finally gave me a son-in-law who was a model practitioner of Jiangnan Taoism!
More importantly, in this way, the Shu family is also related to Lin Chen.

So what if the son-in-law is not strong?
Although the title of teaching model is just an empty title, there will be no problem in getting the rank.

What's more, his son-in-law has a promising disciple like Lin Chen.

The dignity of a young man lies in his father, and the dignity of an old man lies in his son.

Disciples are also sons.

Thanks to his disciple Lin Chen, the son-in-law is always a guest of honor wherever he goes.

"Yongnian, please sit with Master Xu. I still have some things to take care of."

After Mr. Shu said goodbye and left, Xu Lun looked at Yu Yongnian and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Yu, I have something to ask you, but I don't know if I should ask you something."

"Brother, you can ask if you have anything to say."

"If Lin Chen is in danger, would Junior Brother Yu be willing to rescue him?"

As soon as Xu Luncai said this, Yu Yongnian's face froze and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this, Lord Xu? I don't understand."

"I won't beat around the bush with Junior Brother Yu. Lin Chen has recently been involved in a dispute in the Daliang court. There is even a First-Rank expert involved. If we are not careful, the conflict will be extremely disadvantageous to Lin Chen."

"Master Xu, can you please explain clearly?"

"Now many powerful people hope that the court will increase the training of entry-level warriors. This is a good thing for both my junior brother and Lin Chen, but Lin Chen comes from a humble background. If he is selected as a model of Daliang martial arts students, it will prove that the current policy of the Ministry of Martial Arts is fine, and Lin Chen will be hated by those powerful people."

Xu Luncai looked at Yu Yongnian and did not beat around the bush. Instead, he directly told him the danger that Lin Chen was facing.

This was the task given to him by the people behind him. Now they could no longer stop Lin Chen from leaving his name on Wudao Mountain, and they could only let Lin Chen give up on his own. However, Lin Chen was completely unreachable in Linhu Village, and the only person who could influence Lin Chen was the person in front of him.

"Lin Chen has left his name on Wudao Mountain six times, which has proved his potential. There is no need for him to show off again. The model of Daliang Wudao students will only put Lin Chen on the fire. But if Lin Chen is willing to give up..." Xu Lun lowered his voice and said, "Someone will give Lin Chen a generous gift."

After hearing this, Yu Yongnian understood that this Lord Xu came to act as a lobbyist, to persuade him on behalf of the people behind him, and wanted him to persuade Lin Chen to give up leaving his name in Wudao Mountain.

The better Lin Chen's performance in Wudao Mountain, the more it proves that the policy of the Wuzheng Department is correct.

Those who wanted the Ministry of Military Affairs to change its policies have failed.

However, Lord Xu and the people behind him don’t know much about Lin Chen.

"Master Xu." Yu Yongnian changed his address: "I'm sorry I can't do anything about this matter."

Xu Luncai's face darkened. "Junior Brother Yu, Lin Chen won't gain much from leaving his name on Wudao Mountain once more. The Wuzheng Department has already given him all the rewards. But as long as Lin Chen gives up, he can not only get a generous gift, but the Wuzheng Department will also change its policy and increase the training of qualified martial artists. Wouldn't you and Lin Chen also benefit?"

"I cannot afford this benefit forever."

Yu Yongnian coldly refused: "Sorry, Lord Xu, please go back."

Xu Luncai saw Yu Yongnian's determined expression and the constant changes in his eyes, but in the end he had no choice but to leave.

"Yongnian, what happened? I saw that Master Xu looked very gloomy when he left the house."

Shu Suwan came in from outside the courtyard, and Yu Yongnian smiled bitterly and said, "This Lord Xu is here to be a lobbyist, but it's a pity that they don't understand Lin Chen."

Based on his understanding of Lin Chen, Yu Yongnian knew very well that Lin Chen probably knew that he was involved in the court disputes, but Lin Chen still chose to continue to stay in Wudao Mountain, not for false fame, nor for joining one side.

It was simply because Lin Chen himself came from a humble background, and he did not want the path to advancement in martial arts for those from humble backgrounds to be completely blocked.

Without the training policy of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Yu Yongnian would not even be able to train his internal organs and could not become an instructor in the martial arts hall.

If it weren't for the training policy of the Ministry of Martial Arts, Lin Chen wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the martial arts hall, get the enlightenment pill, or get a place as a top-level disciple...

Having benefited from the policies of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he couldn't let the master and his disciple turn around and attack for their own selfish interests!

"It seems those people were forced into a corner with no way out."

Shu Suwan pondered for a moment: "Things are not as bad as this Lord Xu said. They were able to find this place, and the other party is completely helpless. Lord Kong is a very capable person. These people will not be able to stay here for long."

Although the Shu family is not as glorious as it was in its most glorious days, Shu Suwan still understands some of the ways of the court. If those people still have some means at their disposal, they will not come to her junior brother. They will only come to her when they are completely desperate and have no means left.

Lord Kong would never let go of such an opportunity. After Lin Chen leaves his name for the last time in Wudao Mountain, it will be time to settle accounts with these people.

……

……

Two days later!
Linhu Village.

Lin Chen felt his blood surging, and it was surging like a tide.

"Teacher, I am about to make a breakthrough!"

"Senior Zhao and I will protect you, just rest assured and break through."

Jia Nanzhu smiled, Lin Chen nodded, and walked into the back mountain.

"Now, I'm afraid that many people's eyes are focused on Linhu Village. I don't know how many people are having trouble sleeping and eating."

"It's what they deserve. The outcome was already determined when they began to question the policies of the Ministry of Military Affairs. These people don't understand the significance of the Ministry of Military Affairs at all."

There was a look of disdain on Zhao Cangsheng's face. Did he really think that the Ministry of Military Affairs was just responsible for training Daliang warriors?

The biggest reason why Emperor Taizu gave the Ministry of Military Affairs independent power and freed it from the restrictions of the court was Emperor Taizu's words: I wish that every person in Daliang could be like a dragon and that martial arts would flourish forever.

The four words "Everyone is like a dragon" come first, and the long-lasting prosperity of martial arts comes later.

Increasing the training of entry-level warriors can only make martial arts flourish, but it cannot make everyone as good as a dragon.

If the Ministry of Military Affairs wants to change its policy, it has to erase Emperor Taizu's words.

……

In the back mountain, Lin Chen's qi and blood were surging like the tide. His twenty-three acupoints were completely connected at this moment. The qi and blood were so terrifying that one could even faintly hear the sound of waves.

As Lin Chen circulated his qi and blood, every acupoint made an explosive sound, and after each explosion, the circulation of his qi and blood became faster. The qi and blood even overflowed from the surface of the body and turned into invisible air waves that shook the surrounding grass and trees.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

In just ten breaths, the twenty-fourth acupoint was opened up by the continuous impact of the terrifying qi and blood, and the qi and blood in the whole body flowed freely from then on.
In an instant, the blood and energy in Lin Chen's body roared like thunder, and the true blood condensed in the twenty-four main acupoints was like a torrent, rushing towards the heart with a devastating force.

"not good!"

Feeling his qi and blood rushing to his heart, Lin Chen's face changed. Was it his fate that took effect, or was it that his qi and blood were too terrifying? After opening twenty-four acupoints, they went straight to the internal organs.

Once you succeed in training the internal organs, you will reach the realm of training the internal organs and will not be able to go up to the Martial Arts Mountain.

With almost no hesitation, Lin Chen took out the martial arts seal, and with a thought, he appeared on the Martial Arts Mountain.

As Lin Chen appeared on the steps of Wudao Mountain, a figure soon appeared on the opposite side. However, Lin Chen did not even see the other person's face clearly. He flashed and slapped him with the Fengyun Palm without hesitation.

Wind and Cloud Palm: Palm Six!

He doesn't have much time left, he must defeat his opponent before the fight.

Under the blessing of the terrifying qi and blood, the opponent's figure was slapped away by a palm as soon as he appeared.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person’s figure flying out of Wudao Mountain. It was a close call!
I almost lost the opportunity because of the realm breakthrough.

The moment he defeated his opponent, a beam of light suddenly fell from the Martial Arts Mountain and enveloped Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, who was originally preparing to leave Wudao Mountain immediately, felt the golden light around him and his body paused. He did not leave Wudao Mountain immediately.

"Hold your breath and concentrate, you should use the Nine-turn True Blood to train your internal organs, don't delay!"

Suddenly, a voice was heard from the Martial Arts Mountain. Lin Chen's eyes narrowed. He didn't know who said this, but without any hesitation, he immediately practiced the Nine Revolutions True Blood Refining Organ Method.

He had learned this internal organ training method from Wudao Mountain and had memorized it by heart.

Sitting cross-legged on the steps, enveloped in golden light, Lin Chen practiced the Nine-Turn True Blood Internal Medicine Method. As he breathed in and out, the true blood accumulated in the twenty-four acupoints was drawn by the light column and converged towards the heart along the meridians throughout the body.

As this true blood rushed in, a sudden burning pain came from the heart.

At the same time, the golden light also flowed towards the heart along with the true blood, outlining golden lines on Lin Chen's heart. When the lines took shape, the acupoints all over Lin Chen's body resonated with the beating of his heart.

However, the true blood did not stop there.

The next moment, it went towards the lungs...

Lin Chen felt his physical condition and raised his eyebrow: This... is not right!

According to his teacher and what he knew, there were five internal organs in total, and they had to be refined one by one. Once all five organs were refined, it would be considered a complete success.

But he had just refined the heart, and now the emotion was flowing to the other four organs!
Is it because of this golden light?

Lin Chen had a guess in his mind. He didn’t know what this golden light was, but since it was given by Wudao Mountain, it should be a good thing.

At the same time that Lin Chen was absorbing the golden light on Wudao Mountain, the outside world was in an uproar because of the changes in the stone wall on Wudao Mountain.

Lin Chen, the Taoist priest from Jiangnan, left his name on Wudao Mountain seven times and opened twenty-four acupoints, breaking the record of leaving his name on Daliang Wudao Mountain!
