Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 392 Since we've chosen this path, there's no need to take shortcuts.
At the entrance of the main hall, the flames beneath Lin Chen's feet disappeared, and he once again returned to his original composure.

"you made it?"

Qiao Yuan looked at Lin Chen with surprise in his eyes. The sect leader said Lin Chen would need several more days, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Not only was Qiao Yuan surprised, but Ji Cangtian was also somewhat astonished. With his strength, he was fully aware of Lin Chen's progress in absorbing and refining the Golden Crow Radiant Flame.

Based on Lin Chen's speed, he should be able to successfully refine it in two days.

So, this little guy must have heard the commotion outside and accelerated his refining process.

What a daring young man! He's not afraid of failing at refining.

A look of relief appeared on Ji Cangtian's face. For the sake of the sect, Qiao Yuan was willing to give up his original cultivation plan and step into the Innate Realm to block Lin Chen's opponent and buy time. Lin Chen also gave up the safe refining process and took the risk to absorb and refine the essence frantically.

Perhaps these two little ones are not the strongest disciples in the history of the Canglan Sect. In the history of the Canglan Sect, there have been many outstanding disciples, and there are even those who have entered the Innate Realm at the age of sixteen.

But he believed that with these two little ones around, the future of the Canglan Sect was promising.

"Well, I succeeded."

Lin Chen answered Qiao Yuan's question, and Qiao Yuan gave Lin Chen a deep look but said nothing more.

"Junior brother, while Qiao Yuan is currently accepting challenges at Martial Dao Mountain, challenge the top few and try to break into the top thirty."

Chai Daoqi quickly spoke up, saying that his junior brother was currently ranked thirty-sixth, and if he wanted to win consecutive matches, he couldn't let any match slip by. The best way was to delay the battle as much as possible when Qiao Yuan accepted the challenge, so that his junior brother could win six matches in a row.

As long as you make it into the top 30, even if you're 29th, you won't have to face challenges from the innate martial artists who enter Martial Dao Mountain later.

Otherwise, who knows how many other innate martial artists would be watching?

It is undeniable that Martial Arts Mountain is very attractive to the young geniuses of the Yan Dynasty, but there are always some geniuses who do not appear on Martial Arts Mountain for various reasons. If we take into account the vast territory and terrifying number of martial artists of the Yan Dynasty, these "few" geniuses will still be a considerable number.

No fewer than a hundred!

This was Chai Daoqi's guess. Even if not all of these hundred innate martial artists would try to stop Junior Brother Lin, and only 30% of them did, it would still mean that Junior Brother would first face thirty fierce battles, and then challenge the thirty who were ahead of him.

In battles involving innate martial artists, Martial Dao Mountain cannot restore their injuries. Each additional battle, even with minor injuries, could potentially affect the final outcome.

"I will buy you half an hour."

At this moment, Qiao Yuan slowly spoke, already knowing who Martial Dao Mountain's opponent was.

In half an hour, Lin Chen only needs to fight seven matches. In the first five matches, he can almost win against non-innate martial artists. The only two matches are against innate martial artists ranked 30th and 29th.

"no need."

Lin Chen shook his head, rejecting the suggestion made by his third senior brother. As Qiao Yuan frowned, he said, "Senior Brother Qiao has done enough for me. I'll leave the rest to myself. Since I've chosen to start a 100,000-win streak, I'll make sure no one has anything to say."

Qiao Yuan's pupils contracted sharply; he understood Lin Chen's meaning: "Are you sure?"

"determine."

Listening to his junior brother's conversation with Qiao Yuan, Chai Daoqi looked anxiously at his master: "Master, please advise our junior brother. Now is not the time to be reckless."

Du Xiaofeng didn't speak, but instead exchanged a glance with Ji Cangtian.

Lin Chen's challenge is no longer just about his personal glory, but also about the reputation of his sect.

"No matter what you do, Lin Chen, the sect will not have any objections."

Ji Cangtian provided the answer: if Lin Chen had such confidence, how could he, as the sect leader, not support him?

So what if we lose?
The foundation of the Canglan Sect is there. How could losing a challenge with a 100,000-win streak really shake its position?
Is his reputation affected?
He believed that sooner or later, Lin Chen would regain his damaged reputation.

Moreover, Lin Chen might not necessarily lose.

"I understand."

Having received the sect leader's words, Qiao Yuan nodded and said nothing more before flashing into Martial Dao Mountain.

Chai Daoqi watched Qiao Yuan enter Martial Dao Mountain, and could only swallow the words he originally wanted to say. Now, even if his junior brother regretted it, it was too late.

On the martial arts mountain.

When Qiao Yuan reappeared, countless martial artists throughout the Yan Dynasty were watching closely, wondering who would challenge him at this time.
Challenging an injured opponent won't earn you a good reputation.

"They're actually from the Sword Tomb of Guixu?"

“The disciples of Guixu Sword Tomb rarely appear on Martial Dao Mountain, but this time even they couldn’t sit still.”

When the challenger's identity was displayed on the light screen projected by the Martial Arts Seal, many spectators were in an uproar.

"Disciples of Guixu Sword Tomb do not like to appear on Martial Dao Mountain, but if Lin Chen wins 100,000 consecutive victories and reaches the top, in the eyes of some people who do not know the inside story, they will only regard Lin Chen as the number one genius under the age of twenty this year. I'm afraid the geniuses of Guixu Sword Tomb will not be able to tolerate it."

Some people have guessed why the disciples of Guixu Sword Tomb would appear at Martial Dao Mountain. On the battlefield of Martial Dao Mountain, Qiao Yuan also did not expect that his opponent would come from Guixu Sword Tomb.

Zhao Feng looked at Qiao Yuan opposite him and smiled: "I know you are injured. Challenging you at this time will be seen by many as an unfair victory, which is why you were injured in the last match."

Qiao Yuan stared at Zhao Feng. He wasn't surprised that Zhao Feng could see through this. He was just curious why the other party would challenge him if he knew.

He was a disciple of the Guixu Sword Tomb, known for his aloofness.

Among the twenty-four super sects of the Yan Dynasty, there are many proud geniuses, but the most recognized are definitely the sword cultivators of Guixu Sword Tomb.

Throughout the entire Yan Dynasty, no one was more aloof than the sword cultivators of the Guixu Sword Tomb.

Legend has it that each disciple of the Guixu Sword Tomb resides on a sword peak, and sword cultivators on adjacent sword peaks may not have any contact for decades.

Why would a disciple of such an aloof sect challenge an injured person like himself?
"If I only defeat you by taking advantage of your injury, I will be ridiculed by many people. But if I can defeat you easily, I think no one will gossip."

Zhao Feng smiled, a confident smile curving his face.

As long as he completely crushes Qiao Yuan, all the martial artists watching the battle will know that even if Qiao Yuan is not injured, he is no match for him, and naturally there will be no unfairness in winning.

……

Guixu Sword Tomb.

Pei Qingming frowned slightly as he looked at Zhao Feng, who had appeared on the Martial Arts Mountain battle field.

He didn't have a martial arts seal, but some outer disciples of the Guixu Sword Tomb did. At this moment, he was using the martial arts seal of one of the outer disciples to watch the battle on Martial Arts Mountain.

He also saw that Qiao Yuan was willing to get injured to buy time for Lin Chen, and at the time he was extremely gratified by this.

As expected of Junior Brother Lin, he impressed many talented martial artists of the same age back in Jiangnan, who willingly acknowledged him as their senior brother. And now, after only a short time in Canglan Sect, he has also made the talented disciples of Canglan Sect willing to get injured for his sake.

This is the personal charm of Junior Brother Lin.

On the contrary, he was also dissatisfied with Zhao Feng's challenge to Qiao Yuan at this time.

Zhao Feng had approached him, implying that he could refrain from participating in the attack on Junior Brother Lin out of consideration for him, but he had not accepted Zhao Feng's offer.

Even so, Zhao Feng shouldn't have challenged Qiao Yuan at this time; he could have allowed Qiao Yuan to recover further.

Is it aimed at Lin Chen, or at himself?

Pei Qingming's eyes were thoughtful. He had not been in the Guixu Sword Tomb for long. With his flawless sword will, he became an apprentice of an elder and was a fellow disciple of Zhao Feng.

He addressed Zhao Feng as "senior brother" simply because of their different cultivation levels.

"Perhaps I should spend some time learning about the Sword Tomb."

After entering the Guixu Sword Tomb, Pei Qingming focused all his energy on breaking through to the Innate Realm and did not bother to learn about the sect's affairs.

There are quite a few disciples with the same personality as him. All those who come to Guixu Sword Tomb are sword cultivators. They only have sword training in their hearts. When Pei Qingming entered the sect, he heard his master say that there was a senior brother who stayed on his own sword peak from the day he entered the sect and never left the sword peak once in twenty years.

……

In front of the main hall of the Canglan Sect, Lin Chen also saw Qiao Yuan's opponent. When he saw that the opponent was a sword cultivator from the Guixu Sword Tomb, the first person he thought of was Senior Brother Pei.

I wonder if Senior Brother Pei has arrived at Guixu Sword Tomb yet, and whether he has successfully joined Guixu Sword Tomb.

"Qiao Yuan's chances of winning against the disciples of Guixu Sword Tomb this time are probably slim."

Chai Daoqi frowned. The disciples of Guixu Sword Tomb were not to be underestimated. He had encountered a martial artist from Guixu Sword Tomb when he was traveling and had a conflict with him. He was at a disadvantage in that battle.

Although he had trump cards he hadn't used, his intuition told him that the innate martial artist from the Guixu Sword Tomb also had trump cards he hadn't used.

"Junior brother, if you're not confident, why not challenge the ones ahead right now? None of the top thirty innate martial artists in Martial Dao Mountain are from the Guixu Sword Tomb."

When Liang Hanyang saw that Qiao Yuan's opponent was a disciple of the Guixu Sword Tomb, he couldn't help but offer Lin Chen some advice.

"no need."

Lin Chen shook his head. Guixu Sword Tomb was indeed powerful, but since he had chosen this path, he had already anticipated encountering all the geniuses of the Yan Dynasty and the disciples of Guixu Sword Tomb. It was within his expectations.

In the battlefield of Wudao Mountain, Zhao Feng saw the silent Qiao Yuan and, without delay, drew his long sword and slashed out.

The sword light was dazzling, shining brightly across the entire battlefield.

Qiao Yuan's pupils shrank sharply; he truly couldn't withstand this sword strike.

If Lin Chen hadn't given him his instructions earlier, he would have chosen to fight desperately. But thinking of Lin Chen's words, Qiao Yuan ultimately chose to trust him.
