Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 84: Dual Skills Achieved Small Success, What Is His Path?
Lin Chen defeated Peng Bo.

But the atmosphere at the scene was very strange. Not many people looked at the field. Most of the students' eyes were moving back and forth between Qingfeng Martial Arts School and Jingshui Martial Arts School.

Eating melons is a common hobby of human beings, and warriors are no exception.

Although they were surprised that Lin Chen had mastered the Qingfeng Palm, what they wanted to know more at this moment was why Qingfeng Martial Arts School allowed Lin Chen to join Jingshui Martial Arts School.

Chen Chunfeng's expression didn't change much. The martial arts school had made a mistake. It was indeed the school's problem.

What he is more concerned about now is whether he can let Lin Chen return to Qingfeng Martial Arts School after the competition. Since Lin Chen was able to master the Qingfeng Palm in such a short time, if he cultivates him carefully after he returns to the martial arts school, the Qingfeng Palm will definitely be able to master it within a year.

And this time, Senior Brother Qi should not object to Lin Chen getting the first-class treatment.

However, there is no rush for this matter. He will discuss it with Jingshui Martial Arts School after the fight is over.

At Jingshui Martial Arts School, Kong Yinglei raised the corners of her lips. She felt very happy watching Lin Chen use Qingfeng Palm to defeat Peng Bo.

Especially when she saw Qi He’s dark face, she felt even happier.

When their Jingshui Martial Arts School helped Qingfeng Martial Arts School train Lin Chen, it could be said that they had no selfish motives. However, they did not expect that Qingfeng Martial Arts School would not appreciate it. Now they must be full of regrets.

However, based on her understanding of Qi He, the reason Qi He regretted it was more because he felt he had lost face and would be made a laughing stock by other martial arts schools.

just wait.

It was still early. When Lin Chen performed the Great Qingfeng Palm, she really wanted to see what Qi He's expression would be like.

It's a pity that the fight hasn't ended yet, and Lin Chen is still hiding his weakness. Otherwise, she would like Lin Chen to use his full strength to perform the Qingfeng Palm right now. She can't wait to see Qi He's face.

As for Chen Chunfeng, when Kong Yinglei saw Chen Chunfeng smiling at her, she was a little stunned. She didn't understand what Chen Chunfeng's smile meant.
Fu Jingya and the other girls from Jingshui Martial Arts School were not particularly surprised. They just cheered for Junior Brother Lin in their hearts because they already knew that Junior Brother Lin had mastered the Qingfeng Palm.

The last match of Group C.

Lin Chen versus Zhou Yu.

"I've heard about you."

Zhou Yu stood opposite Lin Chen and spoke slowly. Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and waited for the other party to continue.

"Junior Brother Zhao once told me that when he was learning martial arts in the martial arts hall, you were the one he admired the most. Junior Brother Zhao spoke very highly of you. I thought Junior Brother Zhao was exaggerating a bit, but now it seems that Junior Brother Zhao was not exaggerating."

Lin Chen smiled. He knew that the Junior Brother Zhao Zhou Yu mentioned was Junior Brother Zhao Jingchuan. Junior Brother Zhao was also from the Yunyin Martial Arts School. Given Junior Brother Zhao's personality, his relationship with his other brothers in the martial arts school would naturally not be bad.

Lin Chen didn't think that Junior Brother Zhao's mention of him in front of Zhou Yu was a betrayal to him or a revelation of his true strength. Given Junior Brother Zhao's character, at most he would have said that he admired him very much, but would not reveal his true strength.

This is indeed the case. When Lin Chen's name appeared first in Group C, Zhao Jingchuan whispered to Zhou Yu that it would be better for Zhou Yu to choose other groups behind.

However, Zhou Yu was confident in himself and did not listen to the advice.

"Your family background is not as good as Junior Brother Zhao's, but you have made it this far. I can understand why Junior Brother Zhao admires you. If I were Junior Brother Zhao, I would feel the same way."

In Zhou Yu's opinion, Junior Brother Zhao admired Lin Chen because Lin Chen came out of the village and was able to get to this point, surpassing most of the students in the city.

Unfortunately, we can only stop here.

"Storiest stories are about the rise of poor children, but stories are just stories after all. Junior Brother Lin, I'm sorry, your story should end here."

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lin Chen blinked a few times, not knowing how to respond.

The other party was not overbearing, and there was even a hint of apology in his tone.

"Brother Zhou, that's not necessarily true."

Since the other party had a good attitude, Lin Chen naturally would not take the initiative to provoke the other party. For the sake of Senior Brother Zhou, he decided to start the fight quickly.

Otherwise, the more Senior Brother Zhou talks, the more embarrassing it will be when the results come out.

"Please give me some advice!" Lin Chen clasped his fists.

At the same time, the referee announced the start of the fight.

Almost at the moment when the referee announced the start of the fight, Zhou Yu lightly tapped his feet and approached Lin Chen in an instant like a ghost. His movements were so fast that only a trail of afterimages was left behind.

Zhou Yu's figure appeared on Lin Chen's left side like a ghost, with a smug look in his eyes. At the same time, his five fingers were bent like hooks, and with a sharp sound, he attacked Lin Chen's arm. His movements were ruthless and precise.

Junior Brother Lin would never have thought that after he said these words, he would be the first to attack. He was caught off guard and was bound to be hit.

What he said before was the truth from his heart, but it didn't mean that he would look down on Lin Chen.

Qingfeng Palm is only a small achievement, so he would have to be a fool to underestimate it.

When warriors fight, they use both real and fake tactics to keep their opponents guessing.

This was what his instructor told him, and it was also the characteristic of their Yunyin Martial Arts School's martial arts.

Cloud Trace Hands is the entry-level martial art of the Yunyin Martial Arts School. It focuses on footwork and grappling. When practiced to the extreme, one can become as ghostly as a ghost, and the opponent will have no idea where they will launch an attack from.

There was also an uproar at the scene.

The students from other martial arts schools did not expect that Zhou Yu would be the first to take action.

"mean!"

"Extremely shameless!"

At Jingshui Martial Arts School, Fu Jingya and the other girls all had dissatisfaction on their faces. Zhou Yu was too despicable. Lin Chen was calm and composed. Although he didn't expect Zhou Yu to do this, Zhou Yu's actions were not fast in his eyes.

To be precise, it was not his eyes that sensed Zhou Yu's moves, but his brain automatically judged Zhou Yu's next move and move.

He had fought against Zhao Jingchuan before and was familiar with the Cloud Trace Hand.

When Zhou Yu's figure appeared on his left, he guessed what move Zhou Yu was going to perform.

This kind of duel allows one to predict the opponent's moves, which is not possible before the Qingfeng Palm is perfected.

This is the change brought about by practicing Qingfeng Palm to perfection.

The perfection of Qingfeng Palm not only made him comprehend the true meaning of Qingfeng Palm, but also gave him a more subtle perception of martial arts.

When Zhou Yu's hands were about to touch his arm, Lin Chen moved his body to the side and cleverly avoided the fierce claw. At the same time, he slapped out with his palm, using the move "Cloud Rising and Dragon Soaring", which went straight to the opponent's chest.

This time, Lin Chen used the Water Cloud Palm.

Zhou Yu's heart trembled. He didn't expect Lin Chen to be able to react quickly at such a close distance. Not only did he avoid his fierce attack, but he was also able to counterattack him.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Yu's steps changed instantly. He was like a flying cloud, constantly changing his position, but always around Lin Chen. Every time he moved, he would use a grappling hand to slap Lin Chen.

Even though his realm is higher than Lin Chen's, Zhou Yu does not intend to confront Lin Chen head-on. Using one's strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses is the smart choice in a fight.

The advantage of Yunzongshou is its flexibility. Its body shape and attack are flexible, which makes the opponent tired of guarding until the opponent reveals a flaw and then it can defeat the enemy with one blow.

However, whenever Zhou Yu felt that he had found the right opportunity and wanted to take action, he would be accurately resolved by Lin Chen.

After dozens of breaths, Zhou Yu gradually became impatient. He tried various methods, but every time he made a move, he was forced to retreat by Lin Chen's palm.

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Yu, whose body and attacks were slowing down, and knew that Zhou Yu was tired.

In fact, he could have dealt with Zhou Yu faster, and the reason he had delayed it until now was that he used Zhou Yu to verify whether his prediction of his opponent's moves during the battle was accurate.

Now that the verification is almost complete, it’s time for this fight to end.

After repelling Zhou Yu once again, Lin Chen's aura surged, and the Water Cloud Palm in his hand slammed out like a tidal wave, like layers of waves coming one after another. Zhou Yu only felt that he was surrounded by waves and palm shadows, and could not break out at all.

With every collision, the force from the opponent's palm made him feel a little overwhelmed. He could only keep retreating and couldn't even move his body to avoid Lin Chen's attack.

Lin Chen seemed to be able to predict his next move, and always blocked his retreat one step ahead.

hiss!
The students watching the scene were silent as they watched the dazzling palm shadows on the field and the sound of water waves caused by Lin Chen's palms.

I originally thought that Lin Chen had only mastered the Qingfeng Palm to a small extent, but I didn’t expect that Lin Chen had also mastered the Shuiyun Palm to a small extent.

He has achieved some success in both entry-level martial arts techniques. Is he still a human being?

Among the students present, only a few can practice a technique to mastery, and even fewer can achieve even a small degree of success.

Meng Yuan from the Mantis Martial Arts School also opened his mouth slightly. In this fight, he believed that with his minor achievements in Mantis Fist, he would surely be discussed by students from all the major martial arts schools, and it would be the right time for him to show his talent.

But in less than an hour, no one cared about him anymore.

Everyone's eyes are on Lin Chen. No one will remember that there is also Meng Yuan, who has only mastered the Mantis Fist to a small extent.

After ten breaths.

Everyone only heard a crisp snapping sound, and Zhou Yu's right hand fell down. At the same time, his left shoulder was hit by another palm, and he staggered back dozens of steps.

Feeling that he was no longer able to lift his right hand, and the tearing pain coming from his left shoulder, Zhou Yu's face was gloomy: "I lost."

Zhou Yu knew very well that Lin Chen was showing mercy, and he obviously used less force when he slapped him on the left shoulder.

He was not the kind of person who didn't know when to advance or retreat, and even if he didn't admit defeat, he couldn't lift his right hand and had no strength to fight again.

"Concession."

Lin Chen clasped his fists, his expression the same as before, without much change.

He started to madly improve his realm in the last month. His goal was to be in the top ten or even higher. Defeating an unseeded player like Zhou Yu would keep his emotions from fluctuating too much.

As the referee announced the name of the winner of Group C, cheers broke out from Jingshui Martial Arts School, and Lin Chen also walked towards his own martial arts school area with a smile.

"Master Kong, I have fulfilled my mission."

Kong Yinglei frowned and just said "hmm". Her senior sister said that as the deputy head of the martial arts hall, she had to be reserved.

"Haha, Lin Chen, you gave me a big surprise."

Shen Lin did not hide her excitement. Lin Chen's victory in the group meant that his worst ranking was sixteenth. If he could defeat another opponent in the next game, he would most likely enter the top ten.

As long as they are not unlucky and meet the eight seeded players including Jiang Qing, but instead compete with the winners of other groups, they may have this opportunity.

On Wuchang Pavilion.

Su Lingchuan looked thoughtful, and after a while he said, "Since Senior Brother He is interested in rewarding this year's martial arts students, why not hold a martial arts competition tomorrow at the city gate?"

Lin Chen, a student of Jingshui Martial Arts School, gave him some surprises and also made him think more.

He Ruyun thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will ask the government to build an arena and send a message to the whole county that there will be a fight at the city gate martial arts hall tomorrow, and all the people in our county can come and watch."
