Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 38 Treatment of Class A Students

The backyard of Jingshui Martial Arts School.

Zeng Qingyao stroked the sword in his hand and remained silent.

"Big sister, please tell me if this is possible."

Kong Yinglei looked at the silent senior sister and couldn't help herself. She wanted Lin Chen to join the martial arts school. After leaving the martial arts arena, she came to the senior sister and told her purpose.

"If you don't show up, Senior Sister, I'll go find Qingfeng Martial Arts School."

"What are you going to tell Qingfeng Martial Arts School?" Zeng Qingyao asked, moving her eyes away from the sword in her hand.

"Just say that Lin Chen chose to join our Jingshui Martial Arts School. What else can we say?" Kong Yinglei was puzzled. Qingfeng Martial Arts School didn't care about Lin Chen at all, and maybe they even wanted it.

"Qi He is not very good at martial arts, but he is very smart. Believe it or not, if you say this, Qi He will directly reject you and even tell you that Qingfeng Martial Arts School is very optimistic about Lin Chen. Otherwise, he would not accept Lin Chen into the school even though there is no quota."

Kong Yinglei was stunned and a little bit unbelievable: "Senior Sister, this is impossible?"

"Why not?" Zeng Qingyao snorted, "Qi He is such a suspicious person by nature. He won't think you value your talent, he will only think there are other reasons."

"Then explain everything to Qi He."

Kong Yinglei was somewhat unwilling. If Lin Chen was placed in Qingfeng Martial Arts School, no one would take him seriously, not to mention that Lin Chen had practiced the Qingfeng Palm to perfection, even if he had mastered it.

In a martial arts school, more emphasis is placed on the improvement of one’s realm.

There are twenty-four acupoints in the Kaiqiao realm. The first ten can be opened at a cost of thirty or forty taels per month. But after ten acupoints are opened, the difficulty increases and the financial requirements for the students are extremely high.

Qingfeng Martial Arts School will not give Lin Chen any special treatment, but as the deputy owner of Jingshui Martial Arts School, as long as Lin Chen joins the school, she can give Lin Chen some help within her authority.

Zeng Qingyao flicked the blade with her fingers, and the blade made a crisp "clang" sound.

"Junior sister, have you ever thought about this? Can you really master the Qingfeng Palm in less than a month just by practicing diligently?"

Faced with this question from her senior sister, Kong Yinglei was stunned. She indeed had not thought deeply about this point.

"Jiang Qing was able to practice Water Cloud Palm to a proficient level in such a short time because Jiang Qing and Water Cloud Palm are compatible. Otherwise, Jiang Qing would not have joined our Jingshui Martial Arts School in the end. Based on this, is Lin Chen also compatible with Qingfeng Palm?"

Seeing her junior sister stunned, Zeng Qingyao knew that she had also figured out the key point.

Is it true that you can go from entry level to proficiency just by practicing diligently in just one month?

"Senior Sister, what you mean is that Lin Chen and Qingfeng Palm have a high degree of compatibility, so Lin Chen is more suitable to stay in Qingfeng Martial Arts School."

"Not what I meant, but is it true?"

Kong Yinglei curled her lips. From her senior sister's analysis, she had to admit that this should be the fact.

There is a saying about comprehension in martial arts, but this thing is too illusory. It may take more than ten years for such a genius to appear. She doesn't think Lin Chen is a so-called genius with comprehension in martial arts.

The reason why those students are able to surpass other students in the progress of practicing the exercises is more because they have a higher degree of compatibility with the exercises.

If Lin Chen were to practice Water Cloud Palm, he would not be able to reach the proficiency stage even if he practiced for eight hours every day.

"Let's put Lin Chen's matter aside for now. Junior sister, since you value talent, it's fine to give him the treatment of a top-class student. However, Qingfeng Martial Arts School still has to pay for it. After all, we at Jingshui Martial Arts School can't train disciples for nothing."

"That's for sure. Qingfeng Martial Arts School doesn't pay anything. There is no such good thing in the world." Kong Yinglei said fiercely.

……

……

Martial Arts Pavilion.

"Every A-level student can enjoy a 50% discount on other resources purchased in the martial arts hall, except for the Zhiqiao Pill, but the amount cannot exceed 50 taels per month."

Lin Chen was shocked when he learned from the instructor Li about the treatment that the A-grade students received.

The benefit for Class A students is that they can enjoy a 50% discount on the purchase of martial arts gym resources!
If you buy fifty taels of martial arts resources in a martial arts gym, you only need to spend twenty-five taels in the end.

This benefit is very generous.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money on him to pay for fifty taels.

The welfare is good, but he can't use it.

He saved his money to buy Ziqiao Dan, but Ziqiao Dan was no longer included in the discount.

"May I ask Instructor Li, does the martial arts school have any rules regarding the use of these fifty taels?"

After making sure that he could not spend all the fifty taels of silver, Lin Chen had the idea of buying things for others, but he had to first confirm the rules of the martial arts school to see if students were allowed to do so.

Teacher Li was a little confused, she didn't understand what Lin Chen meant.

It would be more accurate to say that she did not react, because the students who had previously received A-level treatment would never ask such a question.

The students who received Grade A treatment did not even have enough to spend on themselves with the monthly quota of fifty taels of silver, so naturally they would not purchase items on behalf of other students.

"There are no rules, but the calculation starts from next month. You cannot enjoy this preferential treatment this month," Instructor Li thought for a moment and replied.

Today is already the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, and the rules of the martial arts school have always been to start counting from the next month.

"Thank you for your instruction, I understand."

It seems that purchasing on behalf of others is allowed, and Lin Chen has made up his mind.

Seeing Lin Chen was about to leave, Instructor Li asked, "You don't want the secret book of "Water Cloud Palm"?"

Li Shan also knew something about Lin Chen's situation. As the first male student in the martial arts school, Senior Sister Kong had already informed them of what happened in Wu Zheng.

If Lin Chen was just a figurehead, she would naturally not mention the "Water Cloud Palm" secret manual. But since Senior Sister Kong asked Lin Chen to get the martial arts school disciple identity card, she probably wanted Lin Chen to become a formal disciple of the martial arts school.

In this case, Lin Chen can practice Water Cloud Palm.

"Can a disciple practice Water Cloud Palm?" Lin Chen was a little incredulous. "Take it, and return it within three months."

Li Shan smiled and took out a secret book from the cabinet below. Lin Chen glanced at it. There were a thick stack of books in the cabinet, probably all of which were the secret books of "Water Cloud Palm".

After getting the "Water Cloud Palm" secret book, Lin Chen was not in a hurry to use his fifty-two taels credit limit, as he could only use the money at the end of the month.

Now, those senior sisters who have received Grade A treatment should not have spent fifty taels yet. Even if I am willing to buy for them, I am afraid they will bargain for me.

It was only at the end of the month when all the fifty taels of silver from the senior sisters were spent, and only then could I earn more by purchasing on their behalf.

After having lunch at the martial arts gym, Lin Chen returned to his dormitory.

This morning's time has been wasted, and the time ahead cannot be wasted.

Lin Chen picked up the "Water Cloud Palm" secret book and flipped through it curiously.

The Water Cloud Palm has few moves, only seven in total, but each move contains thirty-two variations.

"First move: Clouds rising like a dragon. Concentrate your mind and calm your breath, like clouds rising, and move lightly, like a dragon swimming in the sky. The palm force is continuous, soft but firm. The enemy is strong and I am weak, so I attack with the momentum..."

"Second move: Water circling rocks. The body moves like water circling rocks, the palms and fingers are slightly bent, and the power penetrates the palms. Avoid the real and attack the fake, be flexible and changeable, like the unpredictable water, the enemy cannot predict.

Lin Chen was shocked by the annotations next to the illustrations.

Is this a martial arts technique?
I still remember that in the secret book of Qingfeng Palm, all the words added together only have as many words as the annotation of the first move of Shuiyun Palm.

No wonder Shuiyun Palm is known as the most gorgeous of the eight martial arts schools, and also the most difficult to practice to perfection. The wording alone looks gorgeous and full of mysteries.

However, Lin Chen was not in a hurry to practice Water Cloud Palm. He now focused all his energy on Qingfeng Palm. He wanted to try to master Qingfeng Palm in the shortest time possible.

It was mentioned in the martial arts experience booklet given by Instructor Yu that any martial arts technique practiced to the stage of mastery would also be helpful in improving one's realm.

Once he has mastered the Qing Feng Palm, the circulation of his Qi and blood will speed up. With the same expenditure, his enlightenment will also be faster.

Other students do not take this path because it is not easier to master a technique than to break through a realm. It is better to focus on how to break through the realm and improve the proficiency of the technique step by step.

"panel."

[Name: Lin Chen]

[Occupation: Warrior]

[Realm: Awakening Realm (2/24)]

[Kung Fu: Qingfeng Palm (Proficiency: 4/100)]

[Fate: [Successful outcome]: In the realm of martial arts, one must go against the current, make progress step by step, and be unstoppable, overcoming all obstacles.]

【Title: Black to the End】

After taking a look at the panel, Lin Chen began to work hard.

Practice during the day and practice at night.

Practice hard day and night!

Ten days later.

Lin Chen found that many students were gathered around the notice board outside the cafeteria door. When he approached, he found that there was a new notice posted on the notice board.

[Jiang Qing: Six Apertures]

【Fu Jingya: Five Apertures】

[Gu Qingqing: Five Apertures]

……

Martial Arts Hall of Fame!
On the list are the latest breakthroughs made by new students in their martial arts realm.

"Senior Sister Jiang is amazing. She only had five orifices when she entered the martial arts school, and she has opened another one in such a short time."

"Senior Sister Fu and the others have also opened up a new skill, they are all very powerful."

"I have been cultivating my vital energy for three months, but I still haven't gained enlightenment. I don't know when I will be able to gain enlightenment."

"Hey, these sisters have different goals from us."

Listening to the expressions of these junior sisters, Lin Chen withdrew his gaze from the notice board and walked back to the dormitory silently.

There is nothing to envy, your blessing lies in the second half!
Today, practice for an extra half hour.

……

……

Twenty-seven days later!
[Kung Fu: Qingfeng Palm (Proficiency: 90/100)]

When Lin Chen slapped his palm, there was already a slight sound of wind in the yard.

Close your hands!

Standing in the yard, Lin Chen had a look of satisfaction on his face.

"There is still one Zhiqiao Pill left. Sell it for fifty taels first to collect enough money for the Zhiqiao Pill next month."

Lin Chen had considered who to sell the fifty taels to, and the most suitable candidate was definitely Senior Sister Jiang.

To be able to open up five spiritual acupoints when entering the martial arts school, Senior Sister Jiang must be a very wealthy person. Her own fifty taels of credit would definitely not be enough.

PS: It’s a new week. We are now number 30 on the new book list. Can we make it into the top ten?
