Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 325 One general succeeds and thousands of bones wither
Night is falling!

Lin Chen returned to the villa where the Ministry of Military Affairs was staying.

Once the Qi and blood circulate throughout the body, the effects of the alcohol will dissipate.

An hour ago, Kong Qing arranged a welcome banquet for him. Apart from Zhang Ming bringing two junior brothers from the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, the others were all sons of powerful and wealthy families in the capital.

Lin Chen was very calm and composed when facing these privileged children, while they were initially somewhat reserved and restrained.

He ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List and the Heavenly List.

This single title alone surpasses the family background of these privileged children.

It was these privileged children who felt pressured in the face of Lin Chen.

It wasn't until they realized that Lin Chen didn't have the arrogance of a super genius that these junior brothers gradually relaxed. In the end, they all took the initiative to offer him a toast, and Lin Chen accepted every toast, drinking as much as he was offered.

However, Lin Chen ultimately refused Kong Qing's offer of accommodation and returned to the Ministry of Military Affairs with Kong Qing and others seeing him off.

As night deepened and the effects of the alcohol wore off, Lin Chen took out his Martial Arts Seal.

With a thought, he appeared on Martial Arts Mountain.

Name: Lin Chen

[Sect: Canglan Sect]

[Martial Arts Mountain Ranking: 84500]

【Points: 5500】

After glancing at his ranking on Wudao Mountain, Lin Chen decided to begin the challenge.

My cultivation level has broken through from the ninth rank to the seventh rank. Perhaps tonight I can try to break into the top 80,000.

"challenge!"

With a soft whisper, Lin Chen appeared on the battle plain. The moment his opponent appeared, he struck out with a palm without hesitation.

boom!
A fierce wind raged, and the other person's figure vanished in the gale, a look of horror on their face.

"Continue the challenge!"

……

……

In the previous thousand matches, almost no opponent could withstand a single move from him.

After two thousand matches, the opponent will be defeated within ten moves.

After three thousand rounds, within a hundred breaths, the opponent will surely be defeated.

……

……

The Yan Emperor Dynasty, the founding sect.

As a genius disciple of the Kaishan Sect, Zhao Chuan ranked 80012th on Wudao Mountain, while his fellow disciples were all ranked within the top 100.

At this moment, Zhao Chuan and several of his fellow disciples gathered in the courtyard, their eyes looking somewhat dazed.

Today, they gathered here for a martial arts exchange, but the martial arts seal stirred. At first, only one junior brother was challenged to enter the martial arts mountain, but soon it was the second junior brother's turn...

After all five of his fellow disciples entered Martial Arts Mountain and were defeated, Zhao Chuan realized that things were not so simple.

"Did you fellow disciples encounter an opponent with a faint golden glow around them?"

"Yes, the opponent I encountered used palm techniques."

"Me too."

"When this person struck, his body was surrounded by a pale golden light, and his blood and qi were extremely powerful."

……

Listening to his junior brothers' words, Zhao Chuan smiled wryly: "It seems we've encountered a genius disciple from a major sect attempting to break through to the Martial Dao Mountain. We're all facing the same opponent."

Zhao Chuan had fought this person before and experienced their strength firsthand. The fact that this person hadn't gone all out to defeat him meant they definitely had the ability to break into the top 80,000 and potentially climb even higher. Such a suddenly emerging genius could only be a top disciple from a major sect.

Those talented disciples recruited by major sects will not be allowed to go to Martial Dao Mountain for ranking challenges from the very beginning, even if the disciple has the strength to enter the top 100,000 of Martial Dao Mountain.

Only when the disciple is ranked close to the top 70,000 will he be allowed to challenge the Martial Arts Mountain.

For a major sect to fail to produce a genius disciple who doesn't even make it into the top 70,000 is a disgrace to those sects.

……

……

sleepless nights.

It wasn't until dawn that Lin Chen retreated from the battlefield of Wudao Mountain and returned to the steps.

Name: Lin Chen

[Sect: Canglan Sect]

[Martial Arts Mountain Ranking:]

[Martial Arts Mountain Ranking: 79500]

【Points: 10500】

"Have I fought five thousand battles?"

Lin Chen was somewhat shocked to see his ranking rise by 5,000 places. Although he was immersed in battles afterward, he definitely did not reach 5,000 challenges.

"I must have skipped some rankings in between."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Chen realized the reason. Not every genius ranked on Martial Mountain could accept challenges at all times. If a genius refused a challenge, Martial Mountain would automatically assign the next one. If he defeated the opponent, his ranking would surpass that of the one who refused, and the ranking of the one he defeated would drop one place. The same applied to the others.

If you are ranked 80,001 and challenge an opponent ranked 80,000, the opponent ranked 80,000 does not accept the challenge. Martial Arts Mountain then matches you with an opponent ranked 79,999. After defeating the opponent, your ranking becomes 79,990, while the opponent you defeated is moved up to 80,000, and the original 80,000 is moved down to 80,001.

The rules of Martial Arts Mountain are designed to prevent some ranked martial artists from deliberately refusing to fight in order to maintain their ranking.

Not long after leaving Wudao Mountain, a servant brought breakfast. After finishing breakfast, Chu Zining reappeared at the courtyard gate.

"Junior Brother Lin, the master requests your presence."

Following Chu Zining out of the courtyard, after walking for a while, Lin Chen realized they weren't heading to the courtyard where Lord Kong had been yesterday. Curious, he asked, "Senior Brother Chu, wasn't Lord Kong in the courtyard yesterday?"

"Lord Kong will take you into the palace today, and we are currently at the gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"I see."

Upon arriving at the gate of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lin Chen saw a carriage parked in the square, and at that moment, Kong Qifeng's voice came from inside the carriage.

"Get in the car."

Lin Chen lifted the carriage curtain and saw Lord Kong sitting on a soft couch, looking at a document in his hand, while a stack of documents were placed to the side.

As the Minister of Military Affairs, his busy schedule is evident.

Along the way, the carriage moved slowly. Lin Chen did not disturb Lord Kong from reading the documents, and sat quietly to the side. Half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and Kong Qifeng put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile: "I have good news to tell you. The royal court of the demon race in the northern frontier was destroyed yesterday."

Lin Chen shuddered, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

Only two days have passed, and the demon race of the Northern Frontier has been wiped out?

"We must race against time to make a decision before the Han Kingdom does. The secret message sent back by the Marquis of Zhenbei indicates that more than five thousand warriors have been left forever in the Northern Frontier. If it weren't for the need to buy time, we wouldn't have had to sacrifice so many warriors."

Lin Chen remained silent for a long time before finally whispering, "I suppose these predecessors who sacrificed themselves did so for the eternal peace of the northern border of our Great Liang."

Kong Qifeng sighed and, without waiting for Lin Chen's response, lifted the carriage curtain.

"We've arrived at the palace."

Lin Chen followed closely behind and got off the carriage, only to find that it had driven directly into the palace.

"Follow me into the palace. Three first-rank ministers of the Liang Dynasty are waiting for you. In the three hundred years of Liang Dynasty, you are still the first person to achieve this."

P.S.: It's the last day of double monthly passes, is there any left?
