Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 28: A noble son from a poor family, a rare treasure in the world

This day!
Lin Chen practiced until late at night, and then got up again before dawn to practice.

[Qingfeng Palm is not yet introduced +1]

[Qingfeng Palm is not yet introduced +1]

Until dawn, stop again.

[Qingfeng Palm: Not yet mastered (16/100)]

Among these, 10 points increased from dusk to dawn, and 6 points increased during the day.

This is the enlightenment-enhancing effect brought by the title of [Black to the End].

"Mom, I'm going to the martial arts hall."

After breakfast, Lin Chen did not continue practicing martial arts. He said hello to his mother and went to the martial arts hall in the town.

The martial arts hall was so deserted that not a single figure could be seen. Even the servants had left. Lin Chen went straight to the teaching courtyard.

The gate was open. When Lin Chen entered, Yu Yongnian was packing his luggage. Seeing Lin Chen coming in, he put down the things in his hands, glanced up and down at Lin Chen, nodded and said, "Not bad, you have entered the state of awakening, and your whole body's blood and energy have begun to be restrained."

Lin Chen now gives people a vibrant feeling, but he no longer has the rosy look he had before.

After the orifices are opened, Qi and blood are restrained inside and no longer float on the surface of the body.

Lin Chen looked at his own tutor and found that the tutor was a little different from before. The previous tutor was a little too steady, but today he saw vitality in the tutor.

There are only two possibilities for a thirty-year-old man's mental outlook to change drastically: promotion, wealth, and a second spring.

In this world, it means the improvement of martial arts realm and the second spring.

In such a short period of time, the teaching level should not have improved, that is, it is a second spring.

So the instructor and the inspector Shu...

Lin Chen was full of gossip and asked curiously, "Teacher, are you going back?"

"After the New Year, I will no longer teach at the Martial Arts Hall and have already resigned from the position of instructor at the Martial Arts Institute."

Yu Yongnian did not hide this news from Lin Chen. He decided not to continue teaching. This was a decision he made yesterday.

The reason he came to the martial arts hall to teach was because he had lost the ambition to make progress in martial arts and just wanted to find a quiet place to spend the rest of his life.

His parents passed away five years ago. Although he has a younger sister, his parents married her off early in order to raise money for him to learn martial arts.

Because of this reason, his sister was not close to him. He went to his brother-in-law's house a few times, but his sister and brother-in-law were more in awe of him and there was no brotherly love between them. Later, he simply stopped going there and would ask the postman to send some silver every year.

The reason why I am giving up the position of martial arts instructor now is because of Senior Sister Shu.

This time when Lin Chen was brought into the city, he was drunk by Senior Sister Shu. The two of them were quite frank with each other and the window paper was broken.

It's not that he didn't feel any affection from his senior sister over the years, but he felt inferior when he thought about the difference in their family backgrounds, so he pretended not to know.

Now that he has expressed his feelings to his senior sister, he will embark on the path of martial arts again and strive to participate in the martial arts examination in two years.

When Lin Chen heard that the instructor was no longer working in the martial arts hall, his first reaction was that the instructor had figured it out.

The teacher has figured it out. Hard rice is not as delicious as soft rice.

Following Inspector Shu, he no longer looked down upon the salary of being a teacher.

"Congratulations, disciple." Lin Chen blinked and congratulated.

When Yu Yongnian heard Lin Chen's words, he didn't react. Where did he get so happy?

"Tell me about your experience at Qingfeng Martial Arts School and Jingshui Martial Arts School."

Yu Yongnian always felt that Lin Chen's eyes were looking at him strangely. He felt a little awkward and changed the subject abruptly.

"I first went to Qingfeng Martial Arts School and received the Qingfeng Palm Secret Manual. Then I went to Jingshui Martial Arts School..."

Lin Chen recounted in detail what happened in the martial arts gym, including the fact that it took him half an hour to practice the acupoints.

"Deputy Master Kong asked you not to make it public?"

This time, it was Yu Yongnian's turn to have a strange expression. He could vaguely guess what Deputy Museum Master Kong was thinking.

After Lin Chen left that day, his senior sister told him that he was upset with the major martial arts schools and felt that Lin Chen was discriminated against, but from the perspective of the martial arts schools, there was nothing wrong with their choice.

Because no one can prove that Lin Chen only spent twenty taels of energy to cultivate it.

If it was only because of the records and teachings of the martial arts hall, many students would take advantage of this loophole in the future. He realized it afterwards, but he ignored this point because he was too angry at the time.

"Since Deputy Director Kong said so, you should not make it public."

From the time when Lin Chen became enlightened, Deputy Master Kong must have confirmed that Lin Chen really only spent twenty taels to cultivate his vital energy. He did not allow Lin Chen to tell anyone about it, so he must have other intentions.

No matter what Deputy Master Kong is thinking, it is not a bad thing for Lin Chen.

"The disciples are listening to the instructions."

Lin Chen didn't notice the strange expression that flashed across Yu Yongnian's face just now. He was surprised by what the teacher said, "Deputy Master Kong."

It turned out that Teacher Kong was the deputy director, but he thought he was just an ordinary teacher.

Since Deputy Master Kong and the instructor didn't allow me to make it public, it meant that if this matter got out, it would indeed have an impact on me.

Yu Yongnian nodded slightly, then walked into the house and took out a booklet.

"This contains some of my experiences in cultivation at the Awakening stage. You can take it home and read it."

"Thank you, teacher." Lin Chen took the booklet but did not rush to open it. He was full of gratitude to the teacher.

I am just an ordinary student in the martial arts hall, but Instructor Yu is really good to me.

If the incident of "specifically stabbing his adoptive father" in his previous life had not lingered in his mind, he really wanted to say to his teacher: Once a teacher, always a father.

"After reaching the awakening state and coming into contact with the real martial arts techniques, the competitions thereafter are no longer simply a matter of comparing the levels of realm. The monthly competitions held by disciples of major martial arts schools are all based on actual combat."

"The only shortcut to opening the acupoints is to spend money. You are at a disadvantage in this regard. Therefore, you should focus more on practicing the techniques in the early stage and make up for the gap in realm with your proficiency in the techniques."

Lin Chen listened carefully. He knew that Instructor Yu was planning a martial arts path for him.

"Although the main focus of martial arts battles is realm, the skills are also extremely important. There are dozens of martial arts skills in the eight martial arts halls, but each martial arts hall only has one skill that is famous. Do you know the reason?"

Lin Chen shook his head. In terms of knowledge about martial arts, he was at the bottom.

"Martial arts techniques are divided into entry-level and non-entry-level techniques. Non-entry-level techniques can only allow you to exert your full strength, while entry-level techniques can allow you to exert several times the strength of your current realm. The signature martial arts of the eight major martial arts schools are all entry-level techniques."

The words have fallen!

Yu Yongnian clasped his right hands together and gently slapped the stone table.

Snapped!
The stone table broke into pieces, and gravel flew everywhere.

"This is the Qingfeng Palm. When the Qingfeng Palm is practiced to perfection, it can reach ten times the current strength of one's own."

Seeing Lin Chen's somewhat shocked look, Yu Yongnian smiled and said, "If you practice the Qingfeng Palm to the minor success stage, you will be able to do it in the early stage of the awakening state."

"Teacher, how many stages are there in the entry-level martial arts?" Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.

“Proficiency, mastery, small success, great success, perfection.”

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that he was not even at the first stage yet.

"Teacher, how do I know what stage I have reached in my cultivation?"

This was the question that just popped up in Lin Chen's mind. He had a panel that allowed him to determine what stage of proficiency he was in. Other warriors didn't have a panel, so how did they know what stage they had reached?

"When entering a graded martial art, different stages will show different manifestations. Take the Qingfeng Palm as an example. When it reaches the mastery stage, the palm wind whistles when it strikes out. When it reaches the minor success stage, the palm wind can already blow sand and roll leaves. When it reaches the major success stage, the palm wind is like a storm tearing apart, which is terrifying. As for the perfection stage, it returns to the original simplicity, returning to the ordinary, but it contains infinite power."

Yu Yongnian was very familiar with the Qingfeng Palm: "The other seven schools' skills also have different manifestations when they reach the proficient stage. I have written them down in the booklet. You can take time to check them out."

"After you reach the proficiency stage, it depends on your understanding of the technique. Some students can master it in half a year, while others need a year or even longer. When you were in the martial arts hall, you mentioned the concept of genius. There is indeed such a thing as genius in terms of martial arts understanding."

Yu Yongnian recalled the scene when Lin Chen boasted that he was a genius, and said with a smile: "If you can practice Qingfeng Palm to perfection within half a year after becoming proficient in it, you can be called a martial arts genius."

"The reason I didn't tell you this at the beginning was, firstly, because I was afraid that you would be too ambitious and think too much, and secondly, the idea of enlightenment is even more illusory."

"People choose martial arts, and martial arts choose people; some people make rapid progress in learning Qingfeng Palm, but their progress in learning Mantis Fist is mediocre. The reason for this has a lot to do with the martial artist's own personality."

"Unless any one of these techniques can progress extremely quickly, I have never seen such a genius in Poyang County."

Although this is a bit cruel, Yu Yongnian must point out that students from ordinary families cannot have any unrealistic fantasies or flukes.

"From the beginner to the proficient of Qingfeng Palm, you need to practice diligently. What you lack in financial resources, you need to make up for it in martial arts techniques. My requirement for you is that you must at least learn the basics of Qingfeng Palm before entering the martial arts hall."

Practice hard and practice more.

This is the martial arts path that Yu Yongnian planned for Lin Chen.

This is the only way for poor people to learn martial arts.

"Disciple understands the meaning of teaching, and will practice Qingfeng Palm diligently every day."

Lin Chen nodded heavily. He understood what the teacher meant.

"Well, the martial arts hall will be closed after today, so you should leave early."

Having given all the instructions that needed to be given, Yu Yongnian did not delay any longer and reached out to pick up the bag on the table. Seeing this, Lin Chen stepped forward and picked up the bag first: "Teacher, I'll take you to the horse shop."

Seeing Lin Chen's actions, Yu Yongnian smiled and did not reject Lin Chen's kindness.

……

……

Horse walking.

Yu Yongnian took a large red horse, got up and mounted it, waving at Lin Chen: "Go back. If you encounter any problems, you can go to the Shu Mansion to find Inspector Shu."

"Disciple remembers it."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Yu Yongnian smiled slightly, stopped trying to persuade him, spurred his horse, and left in a dashing manner.

When Instructor Yu was out of sight, Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and began to flip through the book in his hand.

When I looked through it, I was stunned.

There was a silver note tucked into the last page of the booklet.

A silver note with a face value of twenty taels.

[You are poor but determined, and you practice diligently. You are truly a noble son from a poor family, and a rare treasure in this world.]

[You should use this gold as a boat, break through the waves and sail forward in the sea of martial arts, find the pearl, and achieve extraordinary success.]

Lin Chen didn’t know if it was because the dust raised by the horse’s hooves got into his eyes, or what, but he just felt his eyes were sore.
