Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 355 You ignorant frog in a well, do you know how powerful the Canglan Sect is?

The warriors of the nine kingdoms had never heard of the Canglan Sect and knew nothing about the Yan Dynasty, but there are universal principles in the world.

Among the nine kingdoms, there were also differences in strength.

Weaker forces tend to be wary of disciples or juniors from powerful clans who come from larger ones, because of the influence of those disciples or juniors.

Judging from Lin Chen's words and the expressions of these innate experts, many people had already guessed that the Canglan Sect that Lin Chen mentioned was probably much stronger than the Jiuque Sect and Xuanming Sect.

Otherwise, these innate martial artists wouldn't have looked so wary and grim.

But when did Lin Chen become a disciple of the Canglan Sect?

I've never heard of the Canglan Sect entering the Nine Kingdoms.

"Canglan Martial Academy, Lin Chen is a disciple of Canglan Martial Academy, is there any connection between Canglan Sect and Canglan Martial Academy?"

Some quick-witted people have already guessed some of the clues.

The similarity between the names of Canglan Martial Academy and Canglan Sect could perhaps be attributed to coincidence, but Lin Chen is a disciple of Canglan Martial Academy, which cannot be explained by mere coincidence.

At the same time, Kong Qifeng and the other two, supported by others, looked at Lin Chen.

As the Minister of Military Affairs, Kong Qifeng had the closest contact with Lin Chen and knew the most secrets about Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had informed Hua Qianwu of the Canglan Martial Academy about the Canglan Sect, and Hua Qianwu had also written to him about it.

This Canglan Sect comes from the Yan Dynasty, but he doesn't know what kind of strength and status the Canglan Sect has in the Yan Dynasty, or whether it can intimidate sects like the Xuanming Sect.

It now appears that the Canglan Sect is capable of intimidating sects such as the Xuanming Sect.

However, he still had concerns in his heart. He knew that Lin Chen was not considered a disciple of the Canglan Sect. According to Lin Chen, his success in cultivating the Canglan Finger of the Canglan Sect only qualified him to go to the Canglan Sect to participate in the sect's entrance examination.

Do the people of the Xuanming Sect also know this?
Just as Kong Qifeng was filled with worry, Liao Kai's words turned his worries into reality.

"Hahaha, I almost fell for your trick. The Canglan Sect issues Canglan Tokens to the public. Those who obtain the Canglan Token are qualified to go to the Canglan Sect to participate in the sect entrance examination. You are not a disciple of the Canglan Sect at all."

Liao Kai burst into laughter, and his words also made the other four innate martial artists realize what was going on.

Previously, because of the Canglan Sect, their first thought was that the Canglan Sect had also intervened here. Thinking of the Canglan Sect's terrifying strength, they were shocked for a moment.

Now, after Liao Kai's reminder, they understand that the Canglan Sect would never look favorably upon this small island, even if it possesses innate energy.

The most likely explanation is that a disciple of the Canglan Sect once came here and left behind the Canglan Token. Lin Chen obtained the Canglan Token, successfully cultivated the Canglan Finger, and qualified to participate in the Canglan Sect's entrance examination.

"Boy, we won't touch you because you have the Canglan Token, but you're dreaming if you think you can scare us away with just this qualification for entering the sect."

Zhang Xun smiled coldly. Lin Chen held the Canglan Token, so they couldn't openly attack Lin Chen, but they still had the opportunity to use someone else to do their dirty work.

It's a long journey from the island to the Canglan Sect. Who can say what might happen along the way?

He was just a martial artist qualified to participate in the sect entrance examination. Even if the Canglan Sect wanted to investigate, they would at most send sect disciples to inquire, and would not make a big fuss about it.

Of course, whether or not they would actually take action against Lin Chen in secret is another matter.

"Junior Brother Lin, now that you have the Canglan Token, you should head to the Canglan Sect as soon as possible."

Pei Qingming was no ordinary person; he understood what was going on simply from Liao Kai and Zhang Xun's words.

The Canglan Sect must be an extremely powerful sect. Junior Brother Lin's qualification to go to the Canglan Sect to participate in the entrance examination made these people hesitant to attack him.

However, the more powerful a sect is, the higher its requirements for its disciples.

Junior Brother Lin's martial arts talent is number one in the Nine Kingdoms, but I'm afraid that might not be the case in the Canglan Sect. I'm afraid the Canglan Sect won't pay much attention to Junior Brother Lin.

What Junior Brother Lin needs to do now is to go to the Canglan Sect as soon as possible and improve his strength within the sect. Only by demonstrating a higher level of martial arts talent can he attract the sect's attention.

"Brother Pei, as I said, this time the limelight can't be all yours alone."

Lin Chen smiled slightly. At first, he planned to use the Canglan Sect to scare away the foreign innate experts from the Jiuque Sect, but later he felt it was inappropriate and gave up. He just didn't expect this scene to happen.

No matter how strong the Canglan Sect is, a mere qualification to join the sect is not enough to scare these people away.

That's why he worked so hard to improve his ranking on Martial Arts Mountain, doing everything he could to attract the attention of the powerful figures from the Canglan Sect.

"Lord Kong, there is something I forgot to report to you. I originally wanted to give you a surprise."

Lin Chen suddenly turned his gaze to Kong Qifeng, who clasped his hands in a salute. Under Kong Qifeng's questioning gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up: "Not long ago, this disciple received a notice from the Canglan Sect that an elder will be accepting this disciple as a personal disciple."

"Hahaha!" Before Kong Qifeng could respond after Lin Chen finished speaking, two of the five innate experts burst into laughter.

"The elders of the Canglan Sect accept you as their personal disciple? This is the biggest joke I've ever heard. You're like a ephemeral mushroom that doesn't know the difference between dawn and dusk, or a cicada that doesn't know the difference between spring and autumn. I'm afraid you don't even know what the Canglan Sect represents in the Yanhuang Dynasty, yet you're spouting nonsense here."

None of Zhang Xun's five men believed Lin Chen's words. At this moment, they were convinced that Lin Chen was just using someone else's name to make a big fuss.

Unfortunately, this tiger skin was blown out of proportion.

"Since I'm kind-hearted, I'll tell you where the flaw in your statement lies."

"The Yan Dynasty currently has twenty-one domains and twenty-four super sects. The Canglan Sect is one of them. The sect has thousands of innate experts and three thousand inner disciples, each of whom has the potential to become an innate martial artist. Of the three thousand inner disciples, only a few outstanding individuals can be chosen by the sect elders. Even if you are going to lie, you should at least tell a story that people can believe."

Upon hearing Zhang Xun's words, all the martial artists present were shocked; the Canglan Sect was indeed incredibly powerful.

What does it mean to have thousands of innate martial artists?
The entire Nine Kingdoms were already powerless to resist because of the arrival of just over a dozen Innate Martial Artists; if it were thousands of Innate Martial Artists...

They could no longer imagine how vast the Canglan Sect must be, or how profound its foundation must be.

"If you had said that you had been accepted as a disciple by the Canglan Sect, we might have believed you to some extent. But unfortunately, your shameless claim that you have been accepted as a disciple by an elder exposes your stupidity and ignorance."

"Lin Chen, I was originally going to let you go, but you're courting death. I forgot to tell you something: the Canglan Sect has strict rules. You are just a disciple who is qualified to participate in the sect entrance examination. You dare to claim to be a disciple personally taught by an elder. This is a violation of the Canglan Sect's rules. Even if I kill you on the spot, it will be to protect the reputation of the Canglan Sect. The Canglan Sect will not hold you accountable."

"Those who dig their own graves are truly rare."

The innate martial artists no longer had any fear in their eyes. From the moment Lin Chen impersonated a disciple of an elder of the Canglan Sect, the Canglan Sect would no longer protect him. Their killing of Lin Chen was, in effect, cleaning up the sect's own territory.

The martial artists present listened to Zhang Xun and his group's words, and their expressions varied.

There was concern, regret, and even ridicule...

After learning about the strength of the Canglan Sect, they agreed with Zhang Xun and the others. Lin Chen, the number one genius of the Nine Kingdoms, was probably not enough to compete with the Canglan Sect.

“In fact, even if the Canglan Sect is just an ordinary sect, we can see through the loopholes in your words. You are in the Nine Kingdoms, so how can you contact the Canglan Sect? The Canglan Sect will not come to your Nine Kingdoms to explore the land. At most, a disciple will pass through the Nine Kingdoms and leave the Canglan Token.”

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and had to admit that these people's analysis made a lot of sense.

Logically, the Canglan Sect wouldn't travel to the Nine Kingdoms to cultivate the wilderness, so unlike the Xiang Kingdom, they wouldn't have the means to contact the Jialuo Sect after the Annihilation Storm disappeared.

Logically speaking, with thousands of innate martial artists and many geniuses in the Canglan Sect, it's impossible for him to be accepted as a personal disciple by an elder.

According to common sense...

Unfortunately, I am not one of the conventional.

Lin Chen reached into his robes and took out the Canglan Token.

The Azure Token emitted a soft, icy blue light. Zhang Xun and the others did not change their expressions when they saw the Azure Token. Since Lin Chen had successfully cultivated the Azure Finger, it was normal for him to have the Azure Token.

This Canglan Token also confirmed their previous guess: a disciple of the Canglan Sect had been to this place and left behind the Canglan Token.

Based on this, it seems that the area where the Canglan Martial Academy of Liang Kingdom is located should be the place where the disciples of the Canglan Sect left their legacy.

"Junior Brother Lin, the sect elders asked me to tell you that when facing these people, as long as you inject the Azure Energy into the Azure Token, all those sects will have to kneel down."

Lin Chen was unsure what changes would occur to the Canglan Token if energy was injected into it. He had previously injected Canglan energy into the token to see the serial number clearly, but the token had grown larger, allowing him to see the numbers engraved on the back.

However, he believed that since the elders of the Canglan Sect dared to have Senior Brother Xing pass on the message in this way, there must have been a change in the Canglan Token.

Now that he has learned about the strength of the Canglan Sect from the other party, he is even more convinced that the elders' words are not exaggerated.

"Since you don't believe it, then we can only prove it with facts."

Lin Chen held the Canglan Token, and the Canglan energy within his body flowed into the token through his palm.

The Azure Wave Order shimmered with dazzling light, and under everyone's watchful eyes, it slowly flew out of Lin Chen's palm and hovered in the sky.

Zhang Xun and his four companions wore cold smiles and did not stop him; they wanted to see what other tricks this young man had up his sleeve.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Three breaths later, the Azure Token suddenly shone brightly, and countless icy blue Azure energies surged out, filling the entire sky with an icy blue hue.

The cold smiles on Zhang Xun's five faces froze at that moment, and all the martial artists inside and outside Lingxiao City looked up at the sky. Even many years later, they still could not forget what they saw next.
