Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 225 Princess Murong Yan of Yan

Canglan Martial Academy!

At this moment, more than a dozen disciples gathered in the courtyard where Luo Han lived.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Luo, for becoming the third person in this class of the Four Martial Academy to refine two internal organs."

"Only two people from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy and Jingdu Martial Arts Academy refined the two organs a few days earlier than Senior Brother Lin."

"Senior Brother Luo broke the record of the fastest refining of the two internal organs in the past five years of the Martial Academy. He is the first among our disciples this year."

The fellow apprentices flattered him, but after these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence at the scene.

Even though Luo Han became the first person in Canglan Martial Academy to complete the refining of the two organs, there is still one person who cannot be avoided when talking about the number one disciple in this class.

Senior Brother Lin Chenlin!
The scene at the martial arts arena two months ago is still lingering in many people’s minds.

Luo Han glanced at everyone. He knew what these junior brothers were thinking. He coughed lightly and said, "The instructor has told me that in three days, my Canglan Martial Academy will welcome the visits of the senior brothers and junior brothers from Lingxiao Martial Academy."

"Lingxiao Martial Academy?"

Everyone was curious, what were the disciples from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy doing at Canglan Martial Arts Academy?
"There have been martial arts academy exchanges in the past, but Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy usually chooses Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and Jingdu Martial Arts Academy for exchanges, and rarely comes to my Canglan Martial Arts Academy."

"They didn't come before, but this time they chose our Canglan Martial Academy. Why?" a junior fellow asked puzzledly.

"That's because these three schools used to look down on our martial arts academy, but because Senior Brother Luo finished refining the second organ at the third fastest speed, these schools changed their views, and Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy chose to come to our Canglan Martial Arts Academy for exchanges."

This statement was recognized by everyone in the yard, and this was the only explanation.

"It's not just us new disciples. Every time there is an exchange between martial arts academies, the old class also participates. The instructor asked me to work hard to consolidate my realm recently. You should also work hard and strive to improve your strength within these seven days. When the exchange comes, you can win glory for the martial arts academy."

Exchange meetings are private exchanges between martial arts academies and do not involve assessment results. However, it is precisely the results of such exchange meetings that often determine the assessment ranking of the martial arts academy.

Luo Han encouraged his fellow junior brothers as a senior brother.

When all the other fellow disciples left, he and the other two were the only ones left in the yard, and the smile on Luo Han's face disappeared.

"how?"

"Brother, when I passed by Lin Chen, I specifically mentioned that you have refined the second organ, but Lin Chen did not react at all."

The other two people in the yard were from Canglan Martial Academy who came with Luo Han. The three families were old friends.

"No response?"

Luo Han's face turned cold. Ever since he lost face in the martial arts arena last time, he had been holding his breath, wanting to prove that he was no worse than Lin Chen. He had been practicing madly during this period, and only then was he able to refine the two organs in two months.

He had originally expected that Lin Chen would be shocked when he heard about this, after all, he had stolen his limelight.

"Brother Luo, when you represent the Martial Academy in the exchange meeting and defeat the disciples of Lingxiao Martial Academy, then our disciples will naturally recognize you as their senior brother."

"That's right. Lin Chen is just resting on his laurels. His performance in the Organ Training Realm is not impressive. He will eventually be forgotten by everyone."

"I understand this principle. I will conserve my energy and adjust my condition in the next three days, waiting for the disciples from Lingxiao Martial Academy to arrive."

There was a gleam in Luo Han's eyes. As long as he defeated the new disciple from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, he would replace Lin Chen's position in the hearts of the new disciples of the academy.

Even his two close junior brothers didn't know that he came to Canglan Martial Arts Academy with a purpose.

……

……

Canglan Peak.

Lin Chen, Fang Zhan and Xiao Yaojin are currently sparring with each other. This is already the 30th time the three of them have sparred with each other.

The three of them sparred almost every three days.

"Brother Lin, why is the gap widening again?"

After the competition, Fang Zhan had a bitter smile on his face. He had thought that by practicing with Senior Brother Lin, they would be able to slowly catch up with him. However, he did not expect that after two months, not only did they fail to catch up, but the gap had widened.

"Maybe it's because I absorbed more dragon blood than my two junior brothers." Lin Chen replied with a smile.

Xiao Yaojin pursed his lips. They knew that Senior Brother Lin had absorbed the true blood of the dragon. They also knew that this was the condition that the Martial Academy had set for Senior Brother Lin to enter the academy.

But when they were young, they also absorbed a lot of precious medicinal materials, which were no worse than the real blood of a dragon.

Of course, it can't compare with thirty drops of dragon's real blood.

But Xiao Yaojin's family knew their own business. Even if he was given thirty drops of dragon blood, his body would not be able to bear it. Even if he was given one drop every three days, he could only absorb ten drops at most before reaching his limit.

Senior Brother Lin is able to absorb thirty drops of dragon blood. That is Senior Brother Lin’s ability.

Just when Lin Chen was about to comfort Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Fang again, Jiang Qing's graceful figure walked in from the gate of the courtyard.

"I hope I didn't disturb your practice."

Seeing Lin Chen and the other two in the yard, Jiang Qing spoke in a pretty voice.

"Sister-in-law, please don't bother me. Junior Brother Xiao and I are leaving soon. We are here at the perfect time."

Fang Zhan answered quickly and pulled Xiao Yaojin towards the gate of the courtyard. Junior Sister Jiang was here, and it would be useless to stay here any longer.

"open!"

Xiao Yaojin, who was dragged out of the courtyard by Fang Zhan, glanced at Fang Zhan coldly.

"I'm pulling you away for your own good. Junior Sister Jiang is here to see Senior Brother Lin. Why are you staying in the yard? Are you annoying me?"

"Brother Lin, at your age, you shouldn't be sentimental..."

"Isn't your home in Northern Xinjiang? Why did you move to the seaside?"

Fang Zhan interrupted Xiao Yaojin's words. Seeing Xiao Yaojin's puzzled look, he said unhappily, "Brother Lin and Sister Jiang are in love. How can it bother you? You don't live by the sea, so why do you care so much?"

"I……"

"What do you mean by 'I'? Did I say something wrong? Your Xiao family only knows how to slay demons, but that doesn't mean others have to do the same. I just want to ask you, has Brother Lin and Sister Jiang's being together delayed their cultivation?"

Xiao Yaojin pursed his lips and chose to remain silent.

Over the past two months, Senior Brother Lin has not slacked off in his cultivation at all. He saw this with his own eyes.

"I think Senior Brother Lin is doing a good job. Every time Senior Brother Lin takes a medicinal bath, Junior Sister Jiang helps add the medicine. How great is that... We two still have to add the medicine ourselves."

Fang Zhan's face was full of envy. Xiao Yaojin saw Fang Zhan's expression and strode away.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Xiao family is a bunch of lunatics who only know how to slay demons. What father said is right." Fang Zhan muttered as he watched Xiao Yaojin's departing back.

Xiao Yaojin stopped and Fang Zhan's expression changed, a smile appeared on his face. His voice was so soft that Xiao Yaojin probably couldn't hear it.

"Also, don't call me Junior Brother. It's not certain who is stronger between you and me."

Fang Zhan: ...

……

……

A villa at the foot of the twelfth peak.

Murong Yan made some tea and brought it to Murong Jun. "How dare I trouble the princess to make tea."

“Fourth Uncle, you are the elder, and in Canglan Martial Academy, there is no Princess Murong Yan, only the female disciple Murong Yan.”

Murong Jun smiled and said, "Princess, you are right."

"Fourth Uncle, what do you think of Lin Chen?"

After Murong Yan poured tea for Murong Jun, she also made a cup for herself, but she just smelled the fragrance of the tea without tasting it.

"not simple."

"How is it not simple? How does it compare to the three heroes of Yan State?"

"Of course they can't be compared." Murong Jun gave the answer without hesitation.

"Oh, why does Fourth Uncle think so?" Murong Yan raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

"Then Lin Chen's potential is not inferior to the three heroes of our Yan State, but Daliang's situation is special. Unlike our Yan State, we do not prohibit warriors from going to other countries, and the other countries do not have any hostility towards our Yan State. After Lin Chen reaches the entry level, he will be slowly pulled down with only the martial arts resources of Daliang."

Murong Jun stroked his beard, with a smile in his eyes: "More than ten years ago, Daliang gave birth to a man named Pei Qingming. He was called a genius that only appears once every three hundred years. The whole Daliang had high hopes for him, but what happened? Until now, he has not been able to enter the top grade. Daliang's martial arts training system is destined to fail to cultivate true geniuses."

"It seems that Fourth Uncle has some opinions about Daliang's martial arts training system?"

"Daliang is too independent. From top to bottom, everyone wants to wash away the shame of the previous dynasty. Other countries are wary of Daliang. Take Qianguo for example. The largest secret realm of Qiankun is only accessible to geniuses from our Yan country, but geniuses from Daliang are prevented from entering."

Murong Jun shook his head. He always felt that Daliang was too vindictive.

Your previous dynasty was weak, and it was only natural that it was invaded by other countries. If everyone held a grudge against the previous dynasty, how could the nine countries have the peace they have now?

"Although our Yan State is small, we have good relations with neighboring countries, and our martial arts resources are even richer than Daliang. Apart from Daliang, which country does not have geniuses from our Great Yan?"

"Fourth uncle is right."

Murong Yan nodded, chatted with Murong Jun for another cup of tea, and personally sent Murong Jun on his long journey.

The moment she closed the door and turned around, the smile on Murong Yan's face disappeared, replaced by a frosty look.

"Fourth uncle's thoughts represent the thoughts of most warriors in Yan State, but Daliang's approach is correct."

Murong Yan whispered that the reason she chose to come to Daliang instead of going to martial arts academies in other countries was not only because of Lin Chen, but also because she felt the crisis.

The martial arts resources of Yan State are indeed richer than those of Daliang, but these resources are not native to Yan State. They are just transported to Yan State from other countries and sold.

Just because Yan was a small neutral country, it was not feared by other countries.

The State of Yan also produced many geniuses, including several first-grade warriors, but most of these first-grade warriors stayed in other countries. Except for the Murong royal family, no first-grade warriors would stay in the State of Yan.

There has not been a major war among the nine countries for more than two hundred years, but this does not mean that war will not occur.

When the Liang Kingdom slayed the demon, it faced pressure from the powerful Han Kingdom. Although Daliang was not as strong as Han, it still dared to confront Han head-on and even shouted out the tragic slogan of exchanging Han's land for Daliang's land.

Even now, as long as the court raises its arms, countless warriors will respond.

But what about the State of Yan?

If other countries really attack Yan State, will these Yan State warriors abroad come back?
These martial arts masters were merely born in Yan State, and left Yan State when they reached the Lian Zang realm or entered the realm of martial arts. Do they really have deep feelings for their homeland Yan State?
The State of Yan could maneuver between several countries, and even had princesses of Yan marry into the royal families of several other countries. However, this marriage could not bring any protection at all in the conflict of interests between countries.

Once the war really starts among the countries, Yan will be the first country to be eroded by other countries.

The women of Yan State, especially those of Murong family, would become prey to martial arts masters and dignitaries from various countries, simply because they had a special bloodline in their Murong family that could help martial artists practice.

Murong Yan returned to her room. There were fifteen names written on the rice paper on her desk. At this moment, Murong Yan picked up the pen and crossed out one of the names.

Luo Han!

……

……

That night, there was a silver moon in the sky.

At the top of Canglan Peak, Lin Chen’s face was grim and his whole body was almost twisted into a knot.

If you show off your virtue in front of others, you will suffer behind their backs.

He was able to hold on for two months and absorb twenty drops of dragon blood because he used the title of [Medicine Jar Sick Body] to help him endure the pain.

Unfortunately, the pain will not go away, it will only be delayed.

Whenever the side effects of [Medicine Jar Disease] were about to set in, he would come to the top of Canglan Peak. If he stayed in the yard, he was afraid that his screams would scare his two fellow apprentices.

An hour later.

Lin Chen lay on the grass on the top of the mountain, covered in sweat, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his eyelids.

"panel!"

With a thought in his mind, a panel appeared and Lin Chen forced himself to open his eyes.

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm: Early stage of the internal organs training realm]

【Nine-turn internal organs training: 1/9】

[Wind and Cloud Palm: Perfect]

[Wild Wind Kick: Breaking Limit]

[Zhenyue Spectrum: Body Tempering: 2.99]

[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: Medicine Jar Body (When absorbing energy, the pain will be reduced, but the pain will not disappear, it will only be delayed. After the absorption is complete, you will feel double the pain)]

[Title: Unrivaled among the Fellow Disciple (As a senior brother, his martial arts talent is naturally higher than that of his junior brother) Note: This requires the other party to recognize it from the bottom of their heart]

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

Seeing the numbers on the Zhenyue spectrum, Lin Chen smiled.

In two months, the body tempering was improved by more than 0.2.

There is no tempering of the earthly evil energy, and it depends purely on the improvement of the strength of one's own body.

This shows that body tempering does not only require the help of special things to achieve breakthroughs, devilish training is also effective, but the speed of improvement is very slow.

"When the body tempering reaches 3.0, that is, entering the third level, then you can break through the realm."

The dean had explained to me the progress of my cultivation in the Zang realm. I should improve my physical strength to a certain level before making a breakthrough. This way, when I reach the second level, my body will be able to handle it.

"I just don't know what level my strength has reached now."

There was a hint of regret in Lin Chen's eyes. Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Fang had made rapid progress, but they were still a little behind himself. During this period of competition, he won more and more easily. In order not to hurt their self-esteem, he retained some strength every time they competed.
