Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 230 You are not Murong Shuang, you are Murong Fu
The main hall of Canglan Martial Academy!

When Lin Chen stepped into the hall, he found that not only the dean was there, but also several vice-deans.

After paying their respects one by one, Lin Chen asked curiously, "Dean, is there anything you want to tell me?"

On the way here, Lin Chen had some guesses in his mind. Logically speaking, if the dean had any problems, he could come to Canglan Peak to find him. There was no reason for his senior brother to call him, unless it was related to the martial arts academy.

To be precise, it is official business, not personal matters concerning oneself.

Now seeing that the three vice presidents were all there, Lin Chen knew that his guess on the way here was correct.

"Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy sent a message, asking you, Lin Chen, to go to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy for exchanges."

"Communication? Didn't we just communicate?"

Less than a month has passed since Junior Brother Meng left, and he has already invited me to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy for exchanges. Could it be that Junior Brother Meng has made great progress in martial arts and wants to compete with me again?

"It's not just an ordinary martial arts exchange, but a three-month exchange career."

Seeing Lin Chen's puzzled expression, Hua Qianwu explained with a smile: "The major martial arts academies have exchange students, and they can even go to martial arts academies in several countries, and vice versa. This kind of exchange career usually lasts for three months."

"Every martial arts academy in each country has its own martial arts advantages, some of which are resources, and some of which are skills. In order to allow their own disciples to improve their martial arts faster, or to cultivate to the extreme in each realm, each martial arts academy will arrange this kind of exchange students for three months. Exchange students from other martial arts academies enjoy the same treatment as the disciples of the academy."

Lin Chen understood a little bit, it was a bit like an exchange student.

For general exchange students, students from their current martial arts academy would apply to the academy they were going to, but Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy’s invitation to me was like a top student in my previous life receiving an exchange invitation letter from other prestigious schools without having to apply.

It seems that Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy has recognized his strength.

wrong!

The situation is somewhat different from the previous life!

In the past, those top students were able to receive active invitations from prestigious schools because those schools valued their abilities, and once they arrived, they could persuade them to stay in the school.

This is a world of martial arts, and I am a disciple of Canglan Martial Arts Academy. This cannot be changed. There is no reason for Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy to use its resources to train me.

Even if Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy needs something, it should be the dean who contacts Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy on his behalf.

"Why, what did you come up with?"

Seeing Lin Chen in deep thought, Hua Qianwu did not interrupt him. Instead, he waited for Lin Chen to think for a while before continuing to speak.

"Dean, is it related to the martial arts disciples from Xiang and Zheng countries?" Lin Chen raised his eyes and asked the guess he had just made in his mind.

"Hahaha, I said you could think of this."

Hua Qianwu stroked his beard and smiled. The three vice presidents beside him also looked at Lin Chen with satisfaction.

Lin Chen not only has a strong talent in martial arts but also has a quick mind. He understands things at a glance. Canglan Martial Arts Academy has indeed found a treasure.

"The next target of the two martial arts academies from Xiang and Zheng must be Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy. Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy must have known about the disastrous defeat of Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and Guodu Martial Arts Academy, and they are not sure they can win, so they asked you to go to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy to deal with the opponents from Xiang and Zheng."

"Dean, are the martial arts academy disciples from Xiang and Zheng countries very strong?"

"Kong Qing from Qingyun Martial Academy was defeated in thirty moves, and Zhang Ming from Jingdu Martial Academy was defeated in ten moves. These two are both freshmen senior brothers of their respective martial arts academies."

Hearing the dean's words, Lin Chen's eyes suddenly shrank. To be able to become the senior brothers of the martial arts academy, the strength of these two people should not be inferior to Meng Xing. However, the most they lasted only thirty moves, and the least only ten moves. It seems that Xiangguo and Zhengguo came prepared this time.

"After hearing this news, are you sure you can defeat the geniuses from these two countries?"

Lin Chen thought: "I dare not say that I am sure of victory, but if you need me, I will definitely go all out."

"it is good!"

Hua Qianwu shouted softly, very satisfied with Lin Chen's answer. The other three vice presidents had the same expression.

Although the four martial arts academies had often sabotaged each other in order to recruit students, those were their internal conflicts. Now that the Xiangguo and Zhengguo martial arts academies had brought people to provoke them, they naturally had to put aside these small conflicts. Whether it was Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy or Canglan Martial Arts Academy, the word "Daliang" was hung in front of them.

"In that case, you will go to Lingxiao Martial Academy tomorrow."

When Lin Chen heard the dean asking him to leave for Lingxiao Martial Academy tomorrow, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said with some concern: "Dean, since the other party has sent two martial arts academies, and they have challenged Qingyun Martial Academy and Jingdu Martial Academy respectively, will one of them also come to our Canglan Martial Academy?"

Lin Chen was thinking what if he left Canglan Martial Arts Academy and went to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, and one of the other parties came to Canglan Martial Arts Academy, how should Canglan Martial Arts Academy deal with it?
Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Fang are quite strong, but not very reliable.

"If they want to come to Canglan Martial Academy, they have to be able to come here. You don't have to worry about this."

Hua Qianwu smiled slightly and gave a look that Lin Chen understood immediately.

This is in Daliang. It would be an easy task for Canglan Martial Arts Academy to prevent these two families from coming to Canglan Mansion.

It’s not that I’m not letting you, I’m just delaying it until I return from Lingxiao City.

"Xiang and Zheng have provoked our Daliang Martial Academy. It is only right that the four major martial arts academies of Daliang unite to fight against this enemy. However, you have traveled a long way to Lingxiao Martial Academy, which has delayed your training time. Lingxiao Martial Academy should also give you some compensation. I have already discussed this with Lingxiao Martial Academy. You will know when you go there."

"Thank you, Dean." Lin Chen nodded in response.

"Well, pack your luggage. You will be staying at Lingxiao Martial Academy for three months."

Lin Chen left the hall, and after Lin Chen left, several vice presidents no longer acted in a reserved manner and smiled.

"Over the years, this is the first time that Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy has taken the initiative to invite our martial arts academy disciples to become exchange students."

“Haha, Lingxiao Martial Academy has no choice but to do this if it wants to save face. Otherwise, the ridicule from the warriors in Lingxiao City will be enough to make Lingxiao Martial Academy unable to raise its head.”

The situation in Lingxiao City is different from that in the capital. There are not many warriors from other countries in the capital of Daliang, but Lingxiao City gathers warriors from nine countries, and many news cannot be suppressed.

"If it weren't for this reason, why would Lingxiao Martial Academy be willing to bleed so much money this time?"

The invitation letter sent by Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, and the treatment given to Lin Chen during the exchange period, can be said to be the highest among all the exchange students in the martial arts academy.

Hua Qianwu stroked his beard. His three junior brothers didn't know that Lin Chen was practicing the Nine Revolutions True Blood to train his internal organs. Compared with the other treatments given by Lingxiao Martial Academy, what really impressed him was that Lingxiao Martial Academy opened the Lingxiao Hall to Lin Chen.

Among the four major martial arts academies, except Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and Guodu Martial Arts Academy, which are located in Guodu due to the requirements of the court, Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy and Canglan Martial Arts Academy each chose their own locations for special reasons.

The Canglan waves that Lin Chen and his friends felt during the admission ceremony are the foundation of Canglan Martial Arts Academy.

However, with Lin Chen's current strength, he is not yet able to enter the Canglan Sea, but in comparison, Lin Chen can enter the Lingxiao Hall of Lingxiao Martial Academy.

Lin Chen can use the Lingxiao Stone in the Lingxiao Palace.

Originally, he was thinking about how to get Lingxiao Stone from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy. Based on his understanding of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, he could still get some Lingxiao Stone, but Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy would definitely not agree to get more, so he would have to exchange something.

This time, the visitors from Xiang State and Zheng State Martial Arts Academy gave him an opportunity. He didn't even need to say anything, as Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy brought it up first.

……

……

After leaving the main hall, Lin Chen did not return to his own villa, but went to Senior Sister Jiang's courtyard.

"Junior Brother Lin, why are you here?"

When Jiang Qing saw Lin Chen appear, there was a look of surprise on her face.

Lin Chen glanced around and found that there was not only the senior sister in the yard, but also Murong Yan and two other senior sisters from the previous class.

There were outsiders present, so Lin Chen smiled and didn't answer.

"Since Junior Brother Lin is here to look for Junior Sister Jiang, we won't bother him anymore."

The two senior sisters were very perceptive. They stood up with a smile and nodded slightly as a greeting when they passed by Lin Chen.

The two sisters left very attentively. Murong Yan also stood up, but her movements were a little slower. When she passed by Lin Chen, a fragrant breeze blew over her and she winked at Lin Chen.

"Senior Sister, I have to go to Lingxiao Martial Academy."

Jiang Qing knew that Junior Brother Lin came to her place because of something, but she didn't expect that Junior Brother Lin would go to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy?
"Are you representing the Martial Academy to go to Lingxiao Martial Academy for exchanges?"

"No, I will be going to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy as an exchange student for three months."

Facing Jiang Qing, Lin Chen told her the reason why Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy invited him to exchange ideas for three months.

After hearing this, Jiang Qing smiled: "I see, Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy asked Junior Brother to save face."

Looking at Junior Brother Lin standing in front of him, Jiang Qing's eyes were filled with pride. Who could have imagined that the young man from the village who was still fighting for a spot in the Enlightenment Pill a year ago would now be actively invited by Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

And from Junior Brother Lin's eyes, she felt a sense of confidence, and he did not hesitate because of the powerful geniuses from Xiang State and Zheng State.

"You've been at Lingxiao Martial Academy for three months. Will you return to Raozhou Prefecture this year?" Lingxiao City is quite far from Jiangnan Road. Lin Chen thought for a moment and replied, "If I have enough time, I will definitely go home."

"Well, I will go back to Raozhou Prefecture when the New Year comes to an end."

Jiang Qing was going back to celebrate the New Year. Lin Chen understood what his senior sister meant. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Jiang Qing. Jiang Qing's head just touched Lin Chen's chest.

Reaching out to smooth over a few strands of hair on Senior Sister Jiang's delicate head, Lin Chen said softly, "Senior Sister is about to go back, so I, Junior Brother, will definitely rush back as well."

"Ah."

Jiang Qing's voice was as soft as a mosquito, and her pretty face was pressed against Lin Chen's chest.

The temperature in the yard is rising rapidly...

……

……

At the gate of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, Lin Chen said goodbye to Senior Sister Jiang.

"Senior sister, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

Jiang Qing nodded, and Lin Chen did not hesitate. He raised the reins with his right hand and rode out of the gate of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy.

"I've already told you that Senior Brother Lin definitely doesn't need us to send him off, he has Senior Sister Jiang."

In a corner not far away, Fang Zhan looked at Lin Chen who was saying goodbye to Jiang Qing, and started to mutter to himself.

Xiao Yaojin ignored Fang Zhan. Yesterday, Senior Brother Lin also told them that he would be going to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy as an exchange student for three months.

Although Senior Brother Lin did not say why he went to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy as an exchange student at this time, the two of them were able to guess it based on the information they knew.

“This time Senior Brother Lin went to Lingxiao Martial Academy. I’m afraid he will be famous among the younger generation of the Nine Nations.”

There was a look of determination in Xiao Yaojin's eyes. Although Canglan Martial Arts Academy was not bad, it was located in a remote corner after all. Lingxiao City was the most prosperous city in Daliang, gathering warriors from nine countries and many businesses.

Many young geniuses did not choose Qingyun Martial Arts Academy or Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, but chose Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy because of the special nature of Lingxiao City.

……

……

Bafang City Pier.

Lin Chen placed the horse in a stable not far from the dock, and then went to the dock where the ships were docked.

The fastest way to get to Lingxiao City from Canglan Martial Arts Academy is to take a boat all the way north. This time when he went to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, the academy did not arrange for an instructor to accompany him.

"Boatman..."

Just as Lin Chen was about to charter a boat, the boatman of a nearby cruise ship suddenly asked, "Is that Mr. Lin?"

Lin Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boatman on a two-decker cruise ship looking at him.

"My master invites Master Lin to come aboard for a gathering."

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Only a few people in the entire martial arts academy knew that he was going to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy. How did the other party know that he was coming here?
However, Lin Chen still decided to take a look at who was on the boat.

This is Bafang City. He is not afraid of the other party's intentions. Instead, he wants to find out the other party's origins. On the way to Lingxiao Martial Academy, he has to be careful and cautious.

With a tap of his toes, Lin Chen landed on the deck of the cruise ship like a kite. He glanced at the middle-aged man on the deck and walked towards the inner cabin.

Inside the cabin, a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth was leaning against a carved wooden window. He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with dark cloud patterns, which made him look tall and straight. He had a jade belt with dragon patterns on it around his waist, which neatly cinched his waistline and made him look more dashing. The tea set in front of him covered the area below his waist.

Her black hair was tied up high with a silver silk crown with dragon pattern. A few loose strands of hair hung down on the sides of her porcelain white neck, swaying slightly in the river breeze.

This person held an ivory fan sprinkled with gold and tapped his palms lightly, slapping his fair palms rhythmically. He looked at Lin Chen with a smile in his eyes: "Brother Lin, I am Murong Shuang."

"Murong Shuang?"

Lin Chen looked at Murong Yan, who was dressed as a man. He had to admit that this junior sister Murong was extremely charming when she wore women's clothes, and now that she had changed into men's clothes, she had a different kind of beauty.

What a graceful and elegant gentleman, it makes people want to take off his clothes...

"This is the first time I've met Brother Lin, but my sister has mentioned Brother Lin several times. My sister is Murong Yan, so Brother Lin should have an impression of her."

"I do remember that she just kept blinking all day long. I don't know if she has an eye disease. Brother Murong should take your sister to see a doctor when you have time."

The smile on Murong Yan's face froze, and she bit her red lips with her silver teeth. This person... is really annoying!

"Murong Shuang, I don't think you're called that."

Lin Chen sneered, and Murong Yan's heart tightened. Could it be that he was recognized? She was afraid of being recognized, so she pretended to be her brother. It was normal for brothers and sisters to look somewhat similar.

"What do you mean, Brother Lin?"

"You should be called Murong Fu."

Murong Yan: ...

"I was just joking with Brother Murong. How did Brother Murong know that I would come to Bafang City?"

Since Murong Yan wanted to play role-playing games with him, Lin Chen did not expose her. In comparison, he was more curious about how Murong Yan knew that he would come to Bafang City and take a boat.

"When the people from Xiangguo and Zhengguo martial arts academies came, I happened to know something about it, and I also happened to be going to Lingxiao martial arts academy."

Murong Yan opened the fan and waved it gently, blowing her hair, and looked at Lin Chen with a smile.

"Brother Murong is also going to Lingxiao Martial Academy?"

Lin Chen believed that Murong Yan was not lying, but he was going there as an exchange student. What was Murong Yan doing at Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy?
"To be honest, I went to Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy as an exchange student just like Brother Lin. As for which martial arts academy I was originally from, I'm sorry I can't tell you, Brother Lin."

Hearing Murong Yan's words, Lin Chen found it a little funny. Why couldn't he tell her? Wasn't it Canglan Martial Arts Academy?
But he didn't expect that Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy had invited Murong Yan besides himself?
Could it be that Murong Yan is also very powerful?
Lin Chen shook his head and rejected this idea. If Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy also invited Murong Yan, the dean would not have failed to tell him. At the very least, he would have allowed the two of them to travel together.

Thinking about what Junior Brother Xiao and Junior Brother Fang had said, that Murong Yan came from another country, Lin Chen had the answer in his mind.

Murong Yan's status is not low, and she can go to Canglan Martial Arts Academy and Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy freely.

"Brother Lin, since you and I are both going to Lingxiao Martial Academy, why don't we go together?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and did not agree immediately. He always felt that Murong Yan had some plans for him. This was not the so-called man's illusion.

"Brother Lin, I have some understanding of the people from Xiangguo and Zhengguo who came this time. If Brother Lin needs it, I can tell him the origins of these people."

Hearing this, Lin Chen smiled and stepped forward and slapped Murong Yan on the shoulder. The slap made Murong Yan's body sink half way and she couldn't help but let out a light gasp.

Lin Chen: …

I just wanted to play a prank, but I didn't expect that Junior Sister Murong was so sensitive?
Murong Yan's pretty face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Lin Chen. She lowered her head and said, "Brother Lin, my small body can't withstand your palm power."

This guy really doesn't know how to be gentle and considerate to women.

"Brother Murong's body is not good. He is like a woman, too delicate. A man should be strong and sturdy."

Thinking of her own burly figure, Murong Yan felt a chill in her heart.

"Most of my Murong family members are thin."

"That's it."

Lin Chen did not expose the truth and sat down opposite Murong Yan: "Since Brother Murong knows about the people coming from Zheng and Xiang this time, why not help me solve the puzzle."

"Brother Lin, don't worry. It will take several days to get to Lingxiao Martial Academy. There is no need to rush. I have already brewed the tea. This tea was picked in Yunding, Zhao State. It is a rare and good tea."

Murong Yan saw Lin Chen's indifferent expression and his unmoved appearance as he sat there. Then she remembered that with Lin Chen's family background, he probably didn't know what Zhao Guo Yunding Tea meant.

"Brother Lin, Zhao's Yunding Tea is helpful in concentrating the will of martial arts, the price is..."

But before Murong Yan finished her words, Lin Chen picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp: "Good tea!"

Murong Yan: ...
