Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 412 Yu Yongnian: Senior Sister, Run!
The energy of the vast ocean surges like a tidal wave.

Lin Chen stood there, yet he seemed to transform into a bottomless abyss, the "Heart of the Azure Waves" at his heart pounding with unprecedented intensity, making the entire space seem to throb along with him.

"This is?"

Canglan Sect!
Du Xiaofeng and Zhao Yulin exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming.

If they weren't mistaken, Lin Chen should have used that set of martial arts techniques.

However, Zhao Yulin had doubts in his eyes. When did Lin Chen learn this technique? According to the sect's rules, only martial artists at the second level of the Innate Realm would begin to learn this technique.

One of the three supreme martial arts of the Canglan Sect: Canglan Eye.

The reason why the sect requires its disciples to reach the second level of the Innate Realm before they can cultivate is not because it doesn't give them the opportunity, but because the requirements for cultivating the Azure Eye are extremely high. Without reaching the Crystal Condensation Realm of the second level of the Innate Realm, the innate power in one's body is simply insufficient to support the cultivation of this technique.

Even those who have just entered the second stage of the Innate Realm find it difficult to succeed in cultivation; only those who have entered the middle stage of the second stage of the Innate Realm have a chance.

Lin Chen, you've only just entered the Innate Realm, how did you manage to do that?
Seeing the doubt in Zhao Yulin's eyes, Du Xiaofeng knew what Zhao Yulin was wondering about: how could Lin Chen, whose cultivation level was not high enough, cultivate the Azure Eye?

The Heart of the Vast Ocean!

Du Xiaofeng thought of Lin Chen's creation of the Azure Heart. The only reason he could successfully cultivate the Azure Eye at the Innate Realm was because of the Azure Eye.

The Heart of Canglan makes the level of Canglan energy in Lin Chen's body higher than that of ordinary disciples, and the innate power that can be transformed is also purer.

Perhaps there are other reasons involved, but we can only ask Lin Chen after he comes down from Wudao Mountain.

……

On the martial arts mountain.

At this moment, Sima Kong lost his previous arrogance and frantically mobilized the innate power within his body. The tiger phantom behind him gradually solidified and let out a deafening tiger roar, as if all the energy in the world was converging towards him.

boom!
Sima Kong unleashed a punch, and a fierce tiger roared in from behind, crushing the void with an air of dominance over the world.

Even without hearing the sound, many martial artists watching the battle, especially those below the Innate Realm, turned pale at the sight of the tiger emerging from the mountain.

Can Lin Chen really withstand this move?

Zeng Xi, Zhang Xu...

The innate martial artists who had been challenged by Lin Chen on Martial Arts Mountain were all staring intently at him, eager to know how he would deal with Sima Kong's punch, because they knew they would be no match for him.

Lin Chen's eyes were closed, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, he recalled the last deduction he made in the Martial Mirror on Martial Dao Mountain not long ago, and the beam of light he saw formed from the ultimate turbulent tide.

When the tiger was only three zhang away from him, Lin Chen finally opened his eyes. In the depths of those open eyes, there was no longer an ordinary person's pupil, but a swirling, unfathomable azure vortex.

"The Eye of the Azure Waves!"

A cold, low shout came from Lin Chen's mouth, and in that instant, his gaze locked onto Sima Kong.

call out--! ! !
Two beams of extremely icy blue light, as if traversing the ancient void, burst forth from Lin Chen's swirling eyes! These two beams of light were only the thickness of a thumb and seemed extremely inconspicuous.

These two seemingly insignificant beams of light moved at an extreme speed, causing even space to crack as if it could not bear the weight.

The light pierced through the tiger in an instant, and the tiger's phantom didn't even have time to let out a mournful cry before it instantly dissipated!

Sima Kong's smile was replaced by horror. The moment the two icy blue lights appeared, he sensed danger. He had never felt such a strong sense of crisis since he entered the Innate Realm.

scoff!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a faint sound, like ice crystals piercing glass.

The two beams of ice-blue light, condensed to their maximum intensity, pierced through Sima Kong's Overlord Armor defense without any hindrance!
Like two red-hot needles piercing through thin ice, it easily tore through the energy armor that was strong enough to withstand attacks from the peak of the Transformation Realm, and accurately entered Sima Kong's body!

Sima Kong's body jolted violently, as if struck by a thunderbolt!
That face, brimming with confidence and arrogance, turned deathly pale in an instant, and all the surging power vanished like a deflated balloon.

The twenty innate crystals around him instantly dimmed and went out, freezing his soul and innate power, leaving him frozen in place, his eyes filled with disbelief, horror, and frozen pain.

After Lin Chen shot out that beam of light, his face also turned pale, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant. The Canglan energy in his body was also gone, and even his soul felt weak.

The Eye of Azure Waves was still too much of a strain for him to use at his current level.

After landing and staggering a few steps, Lin Chen managed to regain his balance, but his eyes, which had returned to their normal color, remained as sharp as ever.

Lin Chen lost?

Seeing this scene, many people muttered to themselves, especially those martial artists with lower cultivation levels who had not yet reached the Innate Realm.

After all, in their eyes, Sima Kong was still floating in the air.

"Sigh, Lin Chen still couldn't create a miracle."

"What a pity, we were just one hurdle away from getting past it."

Wangchuan Terrace, at the entrance of a small alley.

Su Qin comforted him, "Miss, it's already very impressive that Young Master Lin was able to win second place. Even if he lost, he still deserves respect."

Murong Yan shook her head, but her beautiful eyes shone with a strange light. She didn't think Lin Chen had lost. If he had lost, Lin Chen wouldn't have this expression.

Two breaths later!
Suddenly, a commotion erupted at the scene. Sima Kong, who had been floating in the air, fell directly down and crashed heavily to the ground.

Lin Chen stumbled and landed.

Sima Kong, however, fell to the ground.

Sit down!

The outcome is decided!

The Canglan Sect was filled with thunderous cheers.

"Junior brother... hahaha... you've really brought honor to the Canglan Sect."

"In this final battle, and with the victory achieved using the Azure Eye of my Azure Sect, who dares to utter a single word of criticism?"

Chai Daoqi was very excited, and Qiao Yuan, who was standing next to him, also put on a smile.

Du Xiaofeng stroked his beard and laughed heartily, his old eyes filled with undisguised joy. With such a disciple, what more could he ask for?
Zhao Yulin felt a pang of regret as he listened to Du Xiaofeng's laughter, but that regret vanished when he saw his disciple Qiao Yuan.

At least he had accepted Qiao Yuan as his disciple. In comparison, he wondered how much regret he must have felt for his fellow disciples, who had competed with Senior Brother Du.

If they had known Lin Chen would achieve such success, Senior Brother Zhou and the others would have rather broken ties than let Senior Brother Du take Lin Chen away so easily.

……

……

beam.

Cheers erupted in many places at this moment.

Martial Arts Alliance.

Whether they arrived first or later, the innate elders looked at each other and saw the same answer in each other's eyes.

The future of Daliang is secure for the next hundred years.

As long as Lin Chen is alive, no force will dare to target Daliang.

Daliang has three places with innate energy, which are attractive to most sects, but these sects cannot afford to offend Lin Chen.

The battle between Lin Chen and Sima Kong, which was to reach the top of Martial Arts Mountain with a winning streak of 100,000 matches, was undoubtedly the strongest battle for first place in recent Martial Arts Mountain tournaments.

The geniuses who have reached the top of the Martial Arts Mountain in previous years were at least at the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

As for those powerful forces that could afford to offend Lin Chen, they wouldn't even bother with just three innate energy sites.

This island has eight countries, with the Korean country originally being the first.

While Han's prestige is gradually declining compared to Liang, its overall strength is still higher. It won't be long before Liang surpasses Han. With Lin Chen around, many sects will inevitably come to Liang to recruit disciples, and talented young martial artists from other countries will also flock to Liang. Within twenty years, Liang may become the island's hegemon, perhaps even unifying the remaining eight countries.

……

Deep within the imperial palace of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Emperor Liang Jing glanced at the documents in front of him, then set them aside.

These documents came from the states of Zhao, Qi, and Ze... who actively sought to be incorporated into Daliang, and these royal families were willing to lower their status to become dukes and marquises.

The unification of nine kingdoms...

To outsiders, Liang and Han have been engaged in open and covert struggles for many years, especially the battle to wipe out the demon race in the northern frontier. Liang wanted to compete with Han for the dominant position and eventually unify the nine kingdoms.

But the truth is, their royal family had no such intentions at all.

Until the threat looming over the royal family is removed, the royal family will not have any other ambitions.

……

Lingxiao City.

Jiang Duanchao was also watching the battle with several friends. When he saw Sima Kong fall down, he couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, as expected of my son-in-law, Jiang Duanchao, he didn't embarrass me."

Chu Ming and the others standing nearby were speechless upon hearing this.

What does Lin Chen's ability to reach the top of Wudao Mountain have to do with you, Jiang Duanchao?
The smug look on a petty person's face!
"It's a pity Qing'er isn't here..."

While Jiang Duanchao was overjoyed, he also felt a pang of regret when he thought of his daughter. After Lin Chen went to the Yan Dynasty, his daughter also went there.

However, the daughter did not leave on her own. Instead, a powerful figure from the Yan Dynasty visited Daliang, took a liking to her talent, and took her away.

The reason that person took his daughter as a disciple was because he heard that Lin Chen had been chosen by the Canglan Sect to be a disciple of an elder. Out of curiosity, he came to Lin Chen's hometown for a stroll and ended up meeting his own daughter, which made him decide to take her as a disciple.

……

The Jiang family of Raozhou Prefecture.

"Madam, the young master has won first place in the martial arts mountain competition."

"Yes, Qing'er has a good eye."

"Madam, should we inform Miss about this?"

"No need. Qing'er should be in seclusion right now, breaking through her cultivation. She will naturally know once she has broken through."

Zhuang Min waved her hand, her husband thought that Qing'er's master was someone she had met by chance, but little did he know that it was something she had arranged in secret.

"What are those old guys in the clan thinking?"

"The elders were very excited about Miss's arrival; they had been missing you, Madam."

Hearing this, Zhuang Min's face also darkened. Her actions back then were indeed too willful, hurting the hearts of many elders.

If you let her choose again, she will still do the same.

"Madam, given your experience, I'm afraid the elders will keep a very close eye on Miss this time, and as for the young master..."

"Then let Lin Chen rack his brains about it himself."

Zhuang Min smiled slyly. Lin Chen wanted to marry Qing'er, but there were still many hurdles to overcome.

……

……

Wu Garden.

Zhao Qianqiu, dressed in a red dress, lay languidly on a rattan chair.

"Elder, Lin Chen has successfully reached the summit of Martial Arts Mountain."

Yan He'an rushed in to report the good news.

Upon hearing the news about Yan He'an, Zhao Qianqiu suddenly sighed, his voice filled with helplessness.

Yan He'an was puzzled as to why Elder Zhao sighed.
"Old Yan, I am now the Grand Elder of Jin Garden, and the next promotion will be the Deputy Head of Wu Garden."

Zhao Qianqiu sighed softly, and Yan He'an instantly understood Elder Zhao's feelings. Not to mention Elder Zhao, Yan He'an himself also felt somewhat complicated.

Because of Lin Chen's discovery, Elder Zhao's status in the martial arts community rose steadily, and so did his. Although he could not serve as an elder due to his strength, the elders of the martial arts community would all call him "Elder Yan" when they saw him.

As for Elder Zhao, if he goes any further, he would become the deputy head of the garden.

He is the number one person after the owner of the garden.

In addition to his elevated status, Elder Zhao's strength has also improved rapidly under the tutelage of the garden master, and it is said that he has already touched the threshold of the Innate Realm.

Looking across the entire Daliang, quite a few people have benefited from Lin Chen's influence.

The saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"Old Yan, did you ever imagine that Lin Chen would reach this level?"

Faced with Elder Zhao's question, Yan He'an replied with a wry smile, "Elder, I didn't know there was a Yan Dynasty outside back then."

"Not counting the Yan Dynasty, just considering the nine kingdoms alone, have you ever thought that Lin Chen could become the number one among the nine kingdoms?"

"No."

Yan He'an answered truthfully that when he first met Lin Chen, he was more impressed by Lin Chen's maturity and diligence that far exceeded his peers, as well as his firm heart for practicing martial arts.

"To be honest, I was already quite shocked when Young Master Lin became a model student of martial arts in Daliang."

Any higher, Yan He'an simply dared not even dream of.

Zhao Qianqiu's beautiful eyes sparkled, and Yan He'an's words represented her.

However, after becoming the Grand Elder, she learned more about the Martial Garden, especially after her contact with the Garden Master. Lin Chen's current achievements have exceeded her expectations, and the Garden Master's strength has also exceeded her original judgment.

If I really rise again this time, I will most likely step into the Innate Realm. At that time, I should go and try my luck in the Yanhuang Dynasty.

……

Raozhou Prefecture, Yu Prefecture.

A carriage hurriedly drove out of the back gate of the mansion.

Inside the carriage, Shu Suwan smiled gently. When the news of Lin Chen's ascent to the summit of Martial Arts Mountain arrived, her husband, after a dozen breaths of excitement, did nothing more than pack their belongings and take her out in the carriage.

"Senior sister, don't laugh. If we don't leave now, we might not be able to leave later."

Yu Yongnian was also somewhat helpless. He had experienced this scene too many times. If he was any slower, the officials from the prefectural government and the military administration would have to come and report the good news in person. As Lin Chen's instructor at the martial arts academy, he would inevitably face praise and flattery from everyone, followed by the reward from the imperial court.

"Then, may I ask the exemplary martial arts instructor of the Great Liang Dynasty, where are we going this time?" Shu Suwan asked with a smile.

"Let's travel around the mountains and rivers and appreciate the beautiful landscape of our Daliang."

Yu Yongnian provided the answer: he no longer has any pursuit of martial arts; only family members know their own situation.

With his martial arts talent, his current seventh-rank level is only achieved through the resources provided by the imperial court. If those resources were used on talented martial artists, they would be enough to create three or four seventh-rank martial artists.

There is no need to waste the court's cultivation resources; it would be better to leave them to more talented up-and-coming talents.

Unfortunately, the higher-ups wouldn't listen to him. If he didn't leave this time, the court would probably waste resources to make him a sixth-rank martial artist again.

Using it on yourself would be such a waste.
