Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 414 I'm so sorry, Elder Wan!

The newly crowned number one at Wudaoshan.

Chai Daoqi's words reminded Lin Chen of the top scholar in the imperial examination, but the Yan Dynasty did not have the term "top scholar," or perhaps the number one in Martial Arts Mountain could not be called a top scholar.

"Lin Chen, not bad."

"After seeing your performance at Martial Arts Mountain, I feel that you have brought honor to my Canglan Sect."

Several elders in the courtyard spoke up, all with smiles on their faces. With the strength of these elders, even if someone were to become the number one in Martial Arts Mountain, in their eyes it would just be a fight between little guys.

In previous years, they didn't pay much attention.

But if it is a disciple of our sect who reaches the top, then it is different.

Not to mention that Lin Chen reached the top with a record of 100,000 consecutive wins, breaking the all-time record for the top of Wudao Mountain.

Lin Chen could understand the elders' feelings. It was actually somewhat similar to the college entrance examination in his previous life. The college entrance examination was held every year, but most adults who were not involved in it did not pay much attention to it.

Even if a top scorer in the college entrance examination appears in the city or county, people will at most hear about it from others and won't go into much depth to learn more.

However, if a family member has a child taking the college entrance examination, they will definitely pay close attention to it, especially if their child becomes the top scorer and breaks the previous record.

"This disciple has fulfilled his mission and has not disgraced the sect."

Lin Chen answered modestly, while Chai Daoqi, after shouting at the beginning, did not speak again. With the sect leader and so many elders present, how could it be the turn of a disciple of the deacon level to speak?

Upon hearing Lin Chen's reply, Ji Cangtian and the other elders smiled with satisfaction, understanding the meaning behind Lin Chen's words.

In the previous matches, Lin Chen relied on the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique to defeat his opponents. However, the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique is not a martial arts technique unique to the Canglan Sect. If he also relies on the Boundless Divine Appearance Technique in his final battle with Sima Kong, there will inevitably be some gossip.

Not long ago, Zhuang Lie, an elder of the Wanhuo Sect, came to the Canglan Sect. In his words, he mentioned Lin Chen's talent in manipulating innate fire. If even the elder of the Wanhuo Sect thought so, those sects that were at odds with the Canglan Sect would naturally find excuses.

The victory was achieved by using martial arts techniques not from the Canglan Sect; it was Lin Chen who won, and it had nothing to do with the Canglan Sect.

But now that Lin Chen has won by relying on the Canglan Sect's supreme technique, the Canglan Eye, no one can gossip about it.

The elders didn't stay in the courtyard for long. After praising Lin Chen a few times, they left. The other disciples didn't get a chance to speak at all. However, they didn't come here to say anything nice to Lin Chen; they just wanted to see him.

Although Lin Chen's figure was also visible through the light screen of Wudao Mountain, he was still behind the screen. No one wanted to miss the opportunity to see him in person.

Half an hour later, the courtyard fell silent again, leaving only Du Xiaofeng and Lin Chen, the three disciples.

"Junior brother, how did you cultivate the Azure Eye?"

Once there were no outsiders around, Chai Daoqi immediately asked the question that had been bothering him. He had also tried to cultivate the Azure Eye, but he still hadn't mastered it.

Reaching the second level of the Innate Realm is merely the minimum requirement for cultivating the Azure Eye; it does not guarantee success in cultivation once one has entered the second level of the Innate Realm.

Within the sect, there are quite a few cultivators at the third level of the Innate Realm who have failed to successfully cultivate the Azure Eye.

"It must be because of the Martial Arts Mirror of Wudao Mountain."

Lin Chen rubbed his nose, and upon hearing this, Chai Daoqi frowned: "Is the Martial Evolution Mirror of Martial Dao Mountain really that magical? If I had known, I would have tried to rank higher when I was at Martial Dao Mountain."

Chai Daoqi's tone was tinged with regret. When he was at Martial Dao Mountain, his highest ranking was sixteenth. It wasn't that he couldn't continue to strive, but he knew that he couldn't enter the top ten, so he didn't focus on Martial Dao Mountain. After several times of seclusion and improvement in strength, he still didn't go to Martial Dao Mountain.

Regret!
"Alright, stop sighing here. Junior Brother just fought with Sima Kong, he must be tired. Let him rest."

The second senior brother, Liang Hanyang, spoke up and half-dragged Chai Daoqi away.

Junior Brother is able to cultivate the Azure Eye with the strength of the First Innate Realm. How could it be just because of the Martial Evolution Mirror? The Martial Evolution Mirror allows those who enter it to deepen their understanding of their own martial arts techniques, including quickly comprehending new martial arts techniques.

However, this is conditional. The martial artist entering must meet the basic requirements for comprehending the technique. Junior Brother's success in cultivating the Azure Eye must mean he has other secrets.

The master didn't seem too surprised that his junior brother had comprehended the Eye of Azure, which means that the master must have known about the secret of his junior brother.

Neither the master nor the junior brother explicitly stated that this secret was not suitable for them to know, and that continuing to pry would only put the junior brother in a difficult position.

"Your second senior brother has some discernment, only your third senior brother..."

Du Xiaofeng watched his second disciple leave with his third disciple before slowly saying, "Don't associate with this scoundrel anymore."

Lin Chen's lips twitched. His third senior brother was indeed very different from the other innate martial artists he knew. Instead, he seemed more like a spoiled brat who was ignorant of the ways of the world.

Perhaps it has something to do with Senior Brother Zhang's family background.

The third senior brother is only in his early thirties, and as a prince of the dynasty, his cultivation path must have been smooth sailing, which is why he developed this kind of personality.

"Your Azure Heart must have made a great contribution to successfully cultivating the Azure Eye."

Hearing his master's words, Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, when I was in the Martial Arts Mirror, I just wanted to try cultivating the Azure Eye on a whim, and I didn't expect to succeed."

Du Xiaofeng smiled; it was no wonder the sect valued disciples who cultivated the Heart of Azure Waves so much. Lin Chen lowered his eyes; he hadn't fully told his master the truth, not because he wanted to hide it, but because it was the sect leader's request.

His ability to cultivate the Azure Eyes was due not only to the Azure Heart, but also to his cultivation of the Azure Technique, with the Azure Technique being the primary reason.

Only now did he realize the power of the Canglan Technique.

Having mastered the Canglan Technique, the requirements for cultivating the Canglan Sect's techniques were lowered. Furthermore, his Canglan Eyes were based on the incantations revealed by the Canglan Divine Scripture, which differed from the Canglan Eyes techniques in the sect's library.

More accurately, the cultivation technique he practiced was called the Azure Wave Divine Eye.

“Master, I have successfully reached the summit this time. Martial Arts Mountain has awarded me one million points.”

"one million?"

Du Xiaofeng was also shocked by this number. Was Wudao Mountain really willing to spend so much?

"Yes, the items available for redeeming points at Martial Arts Mountain have also changed; they now include Martial Willpower..."

Lin Chen explained in detail the exchange information for Martial Dao Will on the Martial Dao Mountain exchange panel. After Lin Chen finished speaking, Du Xiaofeng narrowed his old eyes slightly and said after a long while, "You want to use points to exchange for Innate Martial Dao Will?"

"The other items available for exchange at Martial Arts Mountain are no longer what disciples need most at the moment."

Martial Arts Mirror, Divine Soul Growth...

These have already reached their limit. Exchanging for more of these will still increase my divine soul, but it's not the most cost-effective option.

"Master, if I enter the Canglan Secret Realm, what are the chances that I will comprehend the flawless level of martial will?"

Du Xiaofeng had a thoughtful look on his face; he knew what Lin Chen meant by asking that question.

"Based on the situation over the past century, roughly every three sessions, one disciple will comprehend the flawless level of innate martial will, and in the last session, one disciple comprehended the flawless martial will in the Canglan Secret Realm."

Did anyone in the previous session realize this?
"Although it's only one person every three sessions on average, it's not uncommon for disciples to comprehend it in two consecutive sessions. I'm just giving you a reference."

"Yes, disciple understands."

Lin Chen nodded. This average data was calculated based on data from many previous sessions, and it can only be used as a reference for recent sessions.

"I ask you, if Sima Kong challenges you in the coming months, are you confident you can defeat him again?"

Faced with his master's question, Lin Chen pondered for only a moment before firmly replying, "Unless Sima Kong's strength makes a leap forward, I am confident in my ability to succeed."

"If that's the case, then there's no rush to exchange. Even if you come out of the Canglan Secret Realm, you won't be twenty yet. If you can't comprehend the flawless-level innate will in the Canglan Secret Realm, then you can use your points to exchange for it later."

To be determined!

This was Du Xiaofeng's suggestion. Lin Chen thought about it for a moment and realized that his master's suggestion was indeed the best at the moment.

If you are confident that you can defeat Sima Kong in the face of his subsequent challenges, then there is no need to rush to exchange for it.

"There are still more than three months left before the opening of the Canglan Secret Realm. I just looked at the tasks assigned to the disciples by the Canglan Sect. One of the tasks is quite suitable for you. Why don't you complete the sect task before the opening of the Canglan Secret Realm?"

Every disciple must accept a sect mission every so often; this is a sect rule, and no one can be an exception.

"What mission?"

"Go to the Myriad Fire Sect and collect a batch of innate fire energy."

"Heading to the Myriad Fire Sect?"

Lin Chen hadn't expected this kind of task. But when he saw the smile on his master's face, he understood his master's intention.

Elder Zhuang of the Wanhuo Sect valued him highly and even taught him the Fusion Fire Technique. Now that he has become the number one in Martial Arts Mountain, Elder Zhuang probably values ​​him even more.

My master wants me to go to the Wanhuo Sect so that I can take advantage of Elder Zhuang or the Wanhuo Sect.

"From the sect to the Wanhuo Sect, it will only take ten days with the flying mounts provided by the sect. The round trip will take about twenty days. Just remember to come back before the Canglan Secret Realm opens."

Du Xiaofeng smiled slightly. He was telling his disciples that they could stay in the Myriad Fire Sect for two months.

In the next two months, we should try to gain as many benefits as possible from the Myriad Fire Sect.

However, taking advantage of Elder Wan's appreciation for talent in this way is too unfair to Elder Wan.

"Should we accept this mission?"

"can."

Lin Chen's answer was resolute, without any hesitation.
