Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 539 Feng Haoyu is still a considerate guy

The fifth floor.

Lin Chen hurried toward the entrance to the sixth floor, and along the way he saw several figures rushing toward the entrance to the fourth floor. When these people saw Lin Chen going against the flow, they all showed surprise on their faces.

This time, Lin Chen did not rely solely on his physical body to walk. Instead, he used the Immortal Technique to resist the pressure, fearing that the time storm would spread before he even reached the entrance.

An hour later.

To Lin Chen's surprise, at the entrance to the sixth floor, he was able to see another figure: a man from the Fengxi Clan at the fourth level of the Innate Realm.

Upon seeing the other person, Lin Chen nodded in greeting, and Feng Haoyu also nodded, but his gaze towards Lin Chen was somewhat strange.

He had been staying on the fifth floor for a while, but deep inside it, so he was unaware that Lin Chenguang had used his physical strength to withstand the pressure.

"A time storm is coming."

Feng Haoyu spoke up, reminding him that he was supposed to go to the sixth floor. Could it be that Lin Chen was unaware of the Time Storm and that's why he came here?

"Thank you for reminding."

Lin Chen expressed his gratitude, and then nothing more was said.

He didn't plan to enter the sixth level so soon. He wanted to see what the time storm was like. Anyway, he was already at the entrance to the sixth level and could enter at any time.

Feng Haoyu didn't expect Lin Chen to just say "thank you for reminding me" and then leave without saying anything more. He had already told him that the time storm was coming and that if he didn't leave now, it would be too late. He would have to hide in the sixth floor, and once he stepped into the sixth floor, he probably wouldn't be able to stay for even a quarter of an hour before he had to leave.

If we retreat now, we can stay on the fourth floor for another month or so.

However, he wasn't familiar with Lin Chen and didn't have the relationship to explain these things. He was already doing enough by reminding him. If Lin Chen didn't want to leave, then so be it.

After a short while, Lin Chen finally saw the time storm. The moment he saw it, his pupils contracted sharply. Feng Haoyu, standing beside him, was not much better off, and he kept gasping for breath.

Before them, the world was a vast expanse of gray, and everything was swept up by an invisible force, but it quickly vanished, as if an invisible monster was devouring everything.

The Time Storm is invisible to the naked eye.

It wasn't just everything in front of them that was destroyed; Lin Chen and Feng Haoyu both felt the surrounding space fluctuate and become unstable.

Three breaths later, Feng Haoyu reacted and, without any hesitation, flashed into the sixth floor.

Lin Chen also took a deep look at the time storm in front of him, and followed closely behind Feng Haoyu as he stepped into the sixth floor.

……

……

The sixth level of the Thousand Layers Secret Realm, the instant Lin Chen's figure passed through the entrance...

boom!
A spatial pressure several times more terrifying than that of the fifth level, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, suddenly descended!

This pressure was no longer just a heavy burden, but more like billions of invisible iron chains that instantly tightened around every inch of his skin, bone marrow, meridians, and even the depths of his soul. The faint, glassy luster that his body had developed on the fifth layer was instantly suppressed and became dim and on the verge of cracking.

"what!"

Unable to suppress, Lin Chen let out a low, painful roar. It was as if an invisible mountain had slammed into his spine. His blood seemed to stop flowing under the pressure, his internal organs were twisted and squeezed, and his eyeballs swelled and felt like they were about to burst. This was no longer just a difficulty in walking; even maintaining "existence" itself had become a form of torture.

Feng Haoyu, who had entered first, had just steadied himself near the entrance. His expression was equally solemn, with veins bulging on his forehead. When he saw Lin Chen's overwhelmed state as he stepped into the sixth floor, a sense of entitlement flashed across his eyes at first, but he was stunned when he looked closely at Lin Chen's condition.

Lin Chen didn't even use his internal energy or his innate power to resist the pressure; he was simply using his physical body to withstand it.

Where did this madman come from?

Where did this courage come from?

Lin Chen was certainly not crazy. After realizing that his physical body could not withstand the pressure, he began to circulate the Immortal Technique within his body. After the innate power flowed throughout his body, he felt a little better and began to breathe heavily.

Lin Chen had thought that after the trials of the fifth level, his physical body would be able to adapt to the sixth level, but now it seemed that he had been too complacent and needed to adapt step by step. Lin Chen stood still, using the Immortal Technique to heal his physical injuries, while Feng Haoyu stopped staring at Lin Chen. With his strength, he couldn't hold out here for too long. He needed to seize every minute and second and try to break through to the mid-stage of the fourth realm of the Innate Realm in this secret realm.

Feng Haoyu sat down cross-legged ten feet away, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.

An hour later, with the help of the Immortal Technique, Lin Chen's injuries were healed. He then abandoned the Immortal Technique once again, allowing his physical body to directly face the pressure.

Click!

A faint cracking sound echoed within his body, a mournful cry of his bones and muscles unable to bear the strain. His skin began to tear again, and his body surface was instantly covered with spilled golden-red blood beads. In a short moment, he looked like a glass statue about to shatter, utterly miserable.

The painful groans made Feng Haoyu, who was ten feet away, open his eyes. When he saw Lin Chen's miserable state, his eyes were filled with confusion.

Does Lin Chen have a masochistic disorder?

Even knowing full well that they couldn't withstand the pressure of the sixth level, they still tried again.

Lin Chen wasn't suffering from masochism; rather, it was because after he stepped into the sixth level, the [Racing Against Time] skill once again provided a prompt: [By using time pressure to hone one's body, one can enter the fourth level of the Immortal Body].

The fourth level of the Immortal Body!

Upon seeing the "Seize the Day" notification, Lin Chen knew that even if he didn't cultivate here, simply raising his Immortal Body by one level would be enough.

Therefore, even though he knew the pain was unbearable, he had to endure it, repeating it again and again, until his body could take it.

……

……

one day!
Two days!

Three days!

Feng Haoyu watched as Lin Chen's groans came every few hours, and eventually he simply stopped paying attention to Lin Chen; he was a complete madman.

Of all the times the Thousand Layers Secret Realm has opened, how many people have actually entered to hone their skills?

……

……

Five days later, Feng Haoyu suddenly lost track of Lin Chen's voice. He wondered if Lin Chen had left because he couldn't bear it.
Driven by this curiosity, Feng Haoyu walked in the direction where Lin Chen disappeared. An hour later, he found Lin Chen's figure, still in that miserable state, sitting on the ground panting heavily.

Lin Chen also saw Feng Haoyu, looked up and smiled, "I was afraid of disturbing your cultivation, so I went a little further away."

Lin Chen's smile was sincere, and his words moved Feng Haoyu. He hadn't expected that Lin Chen had walked away because he was afraid of disturbing his cultivation; he was quite a considerate guy.

"Although the Thousand Layers Secret Realm can temper oneself, it is not very meaningful in reality. Martial arts cultivation relies more on realm and soul. Even body tempering techniques have an upper limit."

Sensing Lin Chen's sincerity, Feng Haoyu spoke up again to persuade him.

"Thank you for the reminder. I'm just giving it a try. If I really can't handle it, I'll give up."

"try it?"

Feng Haoyu understood that Lin Chen was determined; there was no way he would try such self-harm.

However, he had already tried to persuade him, and since Lin Chen wouldn't listen, he wouldn't try again. Their relationship wasn't close enough for him to try to persuade him again.
