Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 605 The Domineering CEO and the Little Boy

Who is he?
The martial artists from the other three families also turned their attention to Lin Chen.

"He is Lin Chen."

"Lin Chen? He's the son-in-law of the Flower Clan and a prodigy disciple of the Canglan Sect?"

"It is rumored that this person has the strength of the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm, and should not be underestimated."

Mo Xiao, Zhang Wuji, and the other man exchanged glances, all seeing fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Before the four clans fought, they had never heard of Lin Chen. Even though Lin Chen was already famous in the Yan Dynasty, as an upper clan among the ancient races, he had his own pride and did not care about the so-called prodigies of the Yan Dynasty.

However, it wasn't until two months ago that the clan elders found them. In addition to confirming the clan members who would participate in the four-clan battle, they also told them about the competitors of the other clans, and specifically mentioned Lin Chen.

Only then did they realize that the Yan Dynasty had produced an unparalleled genius who had cultivated from the first level of the Innate Realm to the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm in just a few years.

Despite their shock, the three were not intimidated. In fact, the elders' repeated warnings to be careful of Lin Chen only fueled their fighting spirit.

The rapid pace of cultivation indicates immense potential.

However, martial arts are not about the speed of training; ultimately, it is about strength.

When martial artists of the same realm clash, no one will calculate how many years it took you to reach this realm, or how many fewer years it took me to cultivate to this level.

All three of them were at the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

"You're Lin Chen?"

Mo Xiao looked at Lin Chen. Nine people from the Flower Clan had entered earlier, but he hadn't seen Lin Chen. He felt a little regretful. His favorite thing to do was to defeat the so-called martial arts prodigies from the outside world and let the martial artists of the Yan Dynasty know the gap between them and the four great clans.

Lin Chen turned around, glanced at Mo Xiao and the other two with a calm expression, then looked back at Jiang Qing: "Senior Sister, how do you want me to avenge you?"

Lin Chen looked down at Jiang Qing with a doting expression, but it was this doting and his words that shocked everyone present, even the Flower Clan warriors, whose expressions turned strange.

Young Master Lin's words completely disregarded the three families of Mo Xiao.

These three are all at the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm, and all the people from these three families who came in this time are experts at the fifth level of the Innate Realm. Where does Lin Chen get such confidence?

"Anyway, these three families have already joined forces against our Flower Clan. Even if we back down now, they won't stop. Young Master Lin's attitude is perfectly fine."

Seeing the puzzled looks on many of the clansmen, Zhuang Qiang spoke up to explain for Lin Chen.

Mo Xiao and the others wouldn't give up targeting their Flower Clan just because Lin Chen was humble. In that case, they might as well be tougher.

Lin Chen glanced at Zhang Qiang behind him and nodded slightly. He knew that Zhang Qiang was trying to make amends for him, afraid that he would be too arrogant and lose face if he was defeated by these three families.

However, he doesn't need it.

"The three of them want to kick us out of the game."

Jiang Qing spoke, her voice carrying the coquettish tone of a young woman complaining to her husband.

Jiang Qing's display of a petite and feminine demeanor first shocked Zhang Qiang and the others behind her. Since returning to her clan, the little princess had always maintained a cold and aloof attitude and was not very close to anyone.

The tribe was used to it, after all, she was a princess and had never lived in the tribe since she was a child.

Zhang Qiang and the others never expected that the little princess would have such a feminine side.

"Then I will avenge my junior brother."

Lin Chen's calm yet doting words were like cold water poured into boiling oil, instantly igniting the anger of Mo Xiao and the other two.

"He's incredibly arrogant; no wonder he's offended so many people."

Zhang Wuji sensed the disdain in Lin Chen's words towards their three families and laughed. Lin Chen's cultivation had improved rapidly in just a few years, and he had become so arrogant that he looked down on everyone.

That's true. If they weren't so arrogant, why would they do something that offends both the royal family and the Dongfang family at the same time?

Even among these three families, unless there are huge conflicts of interest, they would not clash with the royal family. As for the Dongfang family, there is even less to say.

"You so-called prodigies of the Yan Dynasty dare to spout nonsense in front of us? Today, I'll show you what the true strength of an elite clan is!"

Mo Xiao's eyes were sinister. He made a hand seal, and the floating Six Seals Chessboard shone brightly. The crisscrossing chess lines seemed to transform into tangible shackles, carrying a profound power that imprisoned space, and strangled Lin Chen.

The leader of the other group now had a huge, primordial elephant phantom appear behind him, its trunk raised to the sky, letting out a silent roar. A heavy, mountain-like pressure descended, and together with Zhang Wuji's chessboard confinement, it formed a deadly attack on Lin Chen.

As for Zhang Wuji, he didn't make a move because he believed that Mo Xiao and the other two were enough.

Faced with this devastating combined attack, everyone in the Flower Clan paled. Zhuang Qiang and the others instinctively mustered all their strength to prepare for a desperate fight.

Jiang Qing's beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent, and a sharp, icy aura emanated from her body. The sword in her hand also surged with sword energy.

However, Lin Chen, who was under siege at the core, showed no change in expression, as if the terrifying energy that was enough to tear apart the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm was just a gentle breeze.

Just as that devastating attack was about to strike—

hum!
An indescribable aura of terror suddenly erupted from Lin Chen's seemingly frail body!
The moment this aura appeared, it was as if a slumbering ancient beast had opened its eyes.

Boom!

An invisible shockwave suddenly exploded outwards from Lin Chen!

The six-fold chessboard, which had just been radiant and imprisoned space, shattered inch by inch the moment it came into contact with this aura. The entire chessboard trembled violently, and its light quickly dimmed.

"puff!"

Mo Xiao felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer. His face instantly turned ashen, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror. "Cave...Cave Heaven Realm? This is impossible!"

The phantom of the savage giant elephant in front of the other leader let out a mournful cry, as if struck by an invisible giant hand, and instantly disintegrated into countless points of light.

His body trembled violently, and he staggered back several steps, each step leaving a deep dent in the chessboard. His gaze towards Lin Chen was as if he had seen a ghost: "Sixth level of the Innate Realm... how could you possibly..."

The Sixth Realm of the Innate Heavenly Realm!
All the martial artists who sensed the aura emanating from Lin Chen were filled with shock. The battle between the four ancient cities had seen experts at the sixth level of the Innate Realm before, but the last time such an expert appeared was thousands of years ago.

The four-race conflict was initially held once every hundred years, but now it has become once every thirty years. Originally, the hundred-year conflict would coincide with a time when a member of a race would cultivate to the sixth level of the Innate Realm but had not participated in the conflict before.

But now it has become a 30-year event. In order to compete for first place, almost no race hides its strength. Every time, they send out all the strongest people in their race. And in 30 years, even their superior race would find it difficult to step into the sixth level of the Innate Realm.

Therefore, the peak of the fifth realm of innate cultivation is almost the upper limit.

Under Lin Chen's overwhelming and unstoppable pressure, all the martial artists from the three families felt as if they were being suppressed by a towering mountain. Even breathing became extremely difficult, their innate power stagnated, and the color drained from their faces, leaving only endless fear and absurdity in their eyes.

The entire chessboard space was instantly dominated by the aura unleashed by Lin Chen alone!

The pressure on the Flower Clan members vanished instantly, replaced by the ecstatic joy of surviving a calamity and the awe of the imposing figure before them. Their Prince Consort's strength was truly astounding.

"The speed at which the Prince Consort's cultivation has improved to the sixth level of the Innate Realm is truly unbelievable."

Zhang Qiang's red lips parted slightly, and her head swayed constantly. When she first met the prince consort, what realm was he at? How long has it been since then? He has already reached the sixth realm of the Innate Realm.

Judging from this aura, it seems to be far beyond what someone who has just entered the sixth level of the Innate Realm can compare to.

Jiang Qing stared at Lin Chen's back with admiration. She had always known that her junior brother Lin would go far in martial arts, not only because of his potential, but also because of his perseverance.

However, she did not expect that Junior Brother Lin would break through to the sixth level of the Innate Realm so quickly.

Despite relying on the clan's resources and remaining in seclusion until now, I've only reached the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm.

……

In the valley outside the ancient city, the expressions of the Mo, Wentian, and their families were also very solemn: "This Lin Chen is actually at the sixth level of the Innate Realm!"

Although they couldn't sense the aura Lin Chen released in the ancient city, they were able to deduce Lin Chen's cultivation level simply from the scene they saw.

Only a sixth-level Innate Realm expert could break the deadlock so easily when facing the combined attack of two peak fifth-level Innate Realm experts, plus the power of the Six Seals Chess Formation.

If they had known that Lin Chen had already entered the sixth level of the Innate Realm, they would never have allowed him to enter the ancient city under any circumstances, and they would have found various reasons to stop him.

The difference between the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm and the sixth level may seem like just one step, but that one step makes a world of difference.

The four elders present had all cultivated their way up in this way, and even the weakest among them was at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, knowing the methods of the sixth level of the Innate Realm.

It can be said that from the moment Lin Chen stepped into the sixth realm of the Innate Realm, the outcome of this battle was already decided.

No one can defeat Lin Chen!
"Mei Shen, you really have some impressive skills."

Facing Mo Wentian's gloomy gaze, Mei Shen's expression remained unchanged. He said calmly, "My decision to have Lin Chen represent my Flower Clan in the Ancient City Battle was made a long time ago, when Lin Chen had only just broken through to the fifth level of the Innate Realm."

Mo Wentian and the other two looked deeply at Mei Shen. As the Grand Elder of the Flower Clan, they believed in the credibility of Mei Shen's words, and they understood the meaning behind them.

The Flower Clan didn't send Lin Chen to fight because he reached the sixth level of the Innate Realm. Rather, they reserved a spot for him after confirming that he would be the Flower Clan's consort.

Lin Chen's breakthrough to the sixth level of the Innate Realm can only be described as heaven helping the Flower Clan.

It's not quite right to say it's from heaven; a more accurate description would be the blessings of our ancestors.

After all, the struggle for the ancient city was about vying for the right to enter the ancient tombs of the four families' ancestors.

Mo Wentian and the other two fell silent. The Flower Clan's first place was already a foregone conclusion, so there was no need for their three families to form an alliance under these circumstances. Now, they needed to consider whether they could get second place.

……

……

In the ancient city, facing the ugly and panicked eyes of the three martial artists, Lin Chen's voice remained calm, but it carried an indifference that held the power of life and death.

"Now, it's my turn."

Lin Chen didn't use any earth-shattering moves; he simply raised his right hand, facing the void, and slowly clenched his five fingers!
A domineering move!

boom!
A terrifying power far exceeding anything seen before, accompanied by the terrifying energy of the Cave Heaven Realm, erupted from Lin Chen's palm!
The chessboard beneath everyone's feet collapsed and dissipated instantly under the impact of this energy.

"what!"

Mo Xiao, the controller of the chessboard, let out a shrill scream. His already shattered Six Seals chessboard exploded completely, turning into countless fragments of spiritual light that scattered in all directions.

He was struck as if by an invisible giant hand, and his body flew backward like a broken sack, his bones cracking and blood splattering in the sky.

Seeing this, the leader of the Li family on the other side quickly conjured up an elephant phantom in front of him again. However, under the terrifying energy of the Cave Heaven Realm, the elephant let out a mournful cry and collapsed and dissipated.

The violent energy slammed into his arms, cracking twice as his arm bones snapped. He coughed up blood, was sent flying, and crashed to the ground, his life force instantly waning.

Now, Zhang Wuji, the only one left, had a look of fear in his eyes, but deep down he still retained a sliver of hope. After all, he hadn't made a move just now, and perhaps Lin Chen would spare him because of that.

Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed.

The next moment, Zhang Wuji felt the space around him being squeezed inwards. Even though he kept releasing his aura to resist, he was like mud sinking into the sea under the pressure of this terrifying energy.

Click!

Zhang Wuji was covered in cold sweat. The next moment, under the pressure of the gravity, several bones in his body shattered, and he was forced to kneel on the ground.

As for the other martial artists from these three families, they were like fallen leaves in a storm. Under the shockwave of Lin Chen's grip, they screamed and howled incessantly, and were thrown about like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing heavily to various places.

Just one move!
A grip of unparalleled dominance!
All the participants from the three factions, including Mo Xiao and the other two leaders who were at the peak of the fifth level of the Innate Realm, were injured!

The Flower Clan members were dumbfounded, their minds in turmoil.

They knew Lin Chen was strong, but they never imagined he was strong to such an unbelievable degree!

The crushing power of the sixth-level Innate Realm over the peak of the fifth-level Innate Realm was so overwhelming and domineering!
too strong!
Too domineering!

Is this the power of the sixth level of the Innate Realm?
It should be noted that the Flower Clan warriors present were all at the fifth level of the Innate Realm. At this moment, in addition to being shocked by Lin Chen's strength, they also felt a firm determination rising in their hearts.

Everyone stared at Lin Chen's retreating figure, their eyes filled with burning fervor.

In this lifetime, I must reach the sixth realm of the innate realm.

"Now, you can leave the ancient city."

Lin Chen slowly withdrew his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield. His voice was calm and even, yet carried an undeniable authority.

The three, Mo Xiao and Zhang Wuji, who were seriously injured, struggled to their feet. Looking at this figure who was like a god of war, their eyes were filled with deep helplessness.

The gap is too big, so big that there's no way to fight back.

Refund!
Since all three of them withdrew without winning the flag, the question of who came in second and who came in fourth can still be left to the elders to decide.

Mo Xiao and the others crushed a jade pendant with helpless expressions, and their figures disappeared on the spot, leaving only the Flower Clan members in the entire ancient city.

Lin Chen then turned around and looked at Jiang Qing. His expression was no longer indifferent, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "Senior sister, I guess I've avenged you."

Standing behind Jiang Qing, Zhang Qiang and the others looked at Lin Chen, who was now acting like a little boy seeking credit, and found it hard to reconcile this image with the domineering Lin Chen from before.

The contrast between the princess and the prince consort is really well done.
