Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 576 Unable to Stop Him (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Tianque Tower.

“Young Master, Lin Chen has already reached the seventy-sixth position in the Tower of Babel, and he is still continuing to challenge.”

Hongluan reported the situation inside the Martial Dao Seal Tower to Dongfang Canglang.

Given Dongfang Canglang's arrogance, it was impossible for him to enter the Tower of Babel. If he were to enter the Tower of Babel, it would be a sign of submission to the royal family.

Are there any of our men ahead?

"Have!"

Hongluan replied, "The seventy-second place is Li Qing."

"Then send a message to Li Qing: I don't want to see Lin Chen's ranking continue to rise."

"This servant will make the contact right away."

After Hongluan left, Dongfang Canglang's face was filled with malice. He had originally regarded Lin Chen as a potential genius and thought of taking him under his command, but he did not expect that Lin Chen would be so tactless as to refuse him.

But up to this point, Lin Chen was just a minor character in his eyes. It wasn't until Lin Chen entered the Thousand Layers Secret Realm and ruined his plans that he developed a murderous intent towards Lin Chen.

A grasshopper that keeps hopping around will eventually become annoying; it's better to just crush it.

However, to his surprise, this insignificant character in his eyes turned out to be the one who dealt him a severe blow at the Wanhuo Sect. It was from that moment that he truly began to take Lin Chen seriously.

"After my father, the remaining fortune of the Yan Dynasty belongs to me. Anyone who dares to steal my fortune deserves to die."

There was endless coldness in Dongfang Canglang's eyes. His meticulously planned scheme was not only aimed at accelerating the collapse of the Yan Dynasty's divine seal, but also at plundering the remaining fortune for himself.

Throughout history, after the change of dynasties, the descendants of the founding emperors who established their dynasties were almost unknown. This was because the founding emperors concentrated divine power and absorbed the fortune of their descendants.

He didn't want to be like the crown princes of previous generations, whose lifespans didn't even surpass his father's. He wanted to forge a different path and remain the invincible force of the Yan Dynasty after his father.

……

……

The Tower of Babel Plaza is currently filled with thousands of innate martial artists, and the number is still increasing.

All of this was because the rankings on the jade tablet were changing rapidly at that moment.

In just an hour and a half, Lin Chen broke into the top eighty. His speed in clearing the tower was terrifying. Martial artists who heard the news, unless they really couldn't leave, all came to the Tower of Babel.

The square, which had been bustling, was now quiet. Those who were shocked had already been shocked, and those who were discussing had already discussed. Now, everyone's eyes were on the jade tablet, waiting for Lin Chen's final ranking.

Until, a figure appeared.

When they saw an elderly man with silver hair appear in the square, many experts at the fifth level of the Innate Realm all tensed up.

"Brother Li has arrived too?"

Someone who recognized the elderly man with silver hair greeted him.

"It seems that Brother Li has also been alarmed by Lin Chen. Indeed... judging from this ranking, Lin Chen is not far behind Brother Li."

The silver-haired old man was none other than Li Qing, who was ranked seventy-second. At this moment, Lin Chen's ranking on the jade tablet was seventy-fourth. If Lin Chen wins again, his next opponent will be Li Qing.

Swish!
The changes on the jade tablet reappeared, and Lin Chen's ranking was refreshed once again. At this moment, an old man in the crowd sighed softly, "The younger generation is truly formidable."

"Brother Xu, don't you want to return the challenge?"

"Lin Chen is less than 30% of my age. Although the Tower of Babel projection cannot unleash my full strength, how can I face him to challenge me again if he defeats me at this age?"

The old man was quite open-minded. Even if he could challenge the Tower of Babel and come back, what would be the point?
The world has discerning eyes. He and Lin Chen are fifty years apart in age. Lin Chen's ability to defeat his projection already signifies his victory.

That makes sense.

The other elders at the fifth level of the Innate Realm also agreed, which was why none of the challenged individuals entered the tower to fight Lin Chen.

For a junior, roughly the same age as their respective disciples, to challenge them, it would be a bit too much for them to accept the challenge in person.

While everyone was discussing this, Li Qing walked towards the tower gate.

Many elderly people at the scene were stunned by Li Qing's actions. What did Li Qing mean by this?

Could it be that he's going to personally confront Lin Chen?

Li Qing remained expressionless. He knew, of course, how much controversy this would bring him, but he had no choice but to obey the young master's orders. In order to have a chance to break through to the sixth realm of the Innate Realm, he chose to follow the young master of the East, and this was the first task the young master had given him.

Compared to the chance to break through to the sixth level of the Innate Realm, what does face matter!
Pushing open the door, Li Qing stepped into the tower, ignoring the stares of those behind her.

Inside the Tower of Babel, Lin Chen returned to the stage and looked at the words on the jade tablet with a look of surprise in his eyes.

This time, the opponent's name displayed had two extra characters at the end.

[Ranked 72nd on the Heavenly Ranking: True Person Li Qing (Five Realms of Innate Realm)]

This is the first time that the word "real person" has been displayed after the opponent's name.

However, considering the rules of the Martial Arts Mountain Challenge, which allow challengers to fight each other, Lin Chen immediately understood the meaning of those two words. His opponent in the next match would no longer be the projection left by the other party in the Tower of Babel, but the person himself who would come to fight.

A real person, regardless of the difference in strength between a projection and a real person, is at least much stronger in combat. He has just experienced so many projection battles, and he always managed to seize the initiative by striking first.

Even so, Lin Chen had no intention of giving up. This time, if he chose to challenge the Tower of Babel, he would go all out.

After taking a short break to restore himself to peak condition, Lin Chen placed his hand on the jade tablet and chose to start the next challenge.

boom!
The moment his figure teleported onto the arena, and the moment the opposite figure appeared, Lin Chen's pupils shrank. Without any warning, the opponent struck out with a palm. Without hesitation, Lin Chen also pointed out with a finger.

The Azure Wave Finger shot out, and a huge finger imprint descended from the sky, colliding violently with the opponent's giant hand in mid-air. Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out. Lin Chen stood still, while the old man opposite him took half a step back.

Li Qing, having regained his footing, saw Lin Chen standing motionless in place. His old eyes held disbelief. Without warning, he launched a full-force palm strike, intending to catch Lin Chen off guard.

He also knew Lin Chen. According to the evaluations of those who had contact with Lin Chen, Lin Chen was not the arrogant type. A humble person like Lin Chen would definitely want to greet him politely, and he could catch Lin Chen off guard.

He already thought highly of Lin Chen, placing him on the same level as himself, yet he still hadn't gained any advantage. How could he not be shocked?

"You are truly despicable, senior."

Lin Chen looked at Li Qing. He had no grudge against her, yet she attacked him so fiercely right away. It seemed that someone was behind her.

Is it the royal family or the Eastern Canglang?
Or perhaps it's the powerful figures behind the Eight Desolations Sect and the Blood Moon Sect?
A few years ago, the experts at the fifth level of the Innate Realm were still high and mighty in Lin Chen's eyes, but after experiencing the recent battles, he has come to understand a truth: some experts at the Innate Realm, although they have cultivated to such a level, have no difference in their martial arts character from ordinary martial artists.

Perhaps these people once had the pride of martial artists, but as their skills stagnated, they began to lose all sense of decency in their pursuit of breakthroughs.

Faced with Lin Chen's taunts, Li Qing did not respond. Since he had chosen this shameless fighting style, he was already prepared to be ridiculed by Lin Chen. As for Lin Chen revealing the details of the battle to the public after being defeated by him, he was not worried at all, because Lin Chen could not produce any evidence.

The only pity is that Lin Chen was not injured.

call!
Flames slowly emerged around Lin Chen, and the innate fire within his body transformed into armor at this moment. At his current level, he no longer needed to manipulate the innate fire; it would automatically change in countless ways according to his thoughts.

The towering flames, accompanied by Lin Chen's punch, swept across the entire arena. Li Qing's eyes showed a hint of fear. Not only was Lin Chen's physical body powerful, but the innate fire he had refined was also so strong, no less powerful than the fifth level of the innate realm.

Whoohoo!
The entire arena became a sea of ​​flames. Amidst the raging waves, Li Qing became increasingly alarmed as he fought. He discovered that neither his soul nor his body could suppress Lin Chen, and even his innate energy was being continuously devoured by this innate fire!
"Old man, you don't care about the dignity of a fifth-level Innate Realm expert? Well then, I'll grant your wish!"

Lin Chen grew stronger with each battle, and now he was absolutely certain that he could withstand a full-force attack from a fifth-level Innate Realm expert using only his physical body.

One punch, two punches!

Lin Chen transformed his Heavenly Evolution Myriad Manifestations Annihilation Palm into a fist, like a war god, while Li Qing kept retreating, her heart filled with shock at Lin Chen's reckless fighting style.

Isn't Lin Chen afraid of getting hurt?
Even if an injury can be fully healed, it will still delay the time spent on martial arts training.

He didn't know where Lin Chen got the courage to fight so recklessly. He only knew that he couldn't do that. If he got injured, he might never have another chance to break through to the sixth level of the Innate Realm.

Getting injured inside the Tower of Babel is equivalent to getting injured yourself.

Thirty breaths later, a deep despair appeared in Li Qing's eyes, and the next moment her figure disappeared from the spot.

He gave up!

Seeing the other person suddenly disappear, Lin Chen was also stunned for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on his lips. His guess was right. This kind of person who would still sneak attack him in front of him had lost his true martial arts heart and dared not even hurt him.

……

……

When Li Qing, his hair charred in many places, appeared somewhat disheveled in the Tower of Babel Plaza, he vanished in a flash. However, with so many innate martial artists present, how could they not capture him?

In an instant, the scene erupted in uproar.

Li Qing was defeated, and defeated in such a humiliating way!
Is Lin Chen about to soar to great heights?
