Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 85: When the young man is taking off, the mentor from a foreign land is concerned

Jiangnan Road, Huizhou Prefecture.

A courtyard at the foot of Huangshan Mountain.

"Why, you're not practicing martial arts today?"

Shu Suwan looked at her fellow apprentice standing in the yard, feeling somewhat confused.

"According to the time, the March competition of the eight major martial arts schools in Poyang County will be held in the next few days." Yu Yongnian said, looking back.

"March competition, are you thinking about your disciple? I remember that not long ago, you wrote two letters and asked the postman to deliver them to Poyang County. You care about Lin Chen more than you care about yourself."

Shu Suwan said this out of emotion.

A few days ago, my junior fellow apprentice wrote two letters and asked the postman to deliver them to Poyang County and to Huaer, who then passed them on to Lin Chen.

The reason why his junior brother wrote two letters was not because one could not finish, but because he did it on purpose. He wanted Huaer to deliver one of the letters based on Lin Chen's performance in the competition.

The contents of the two letters are, one is mainly encouragement and the other is mainly exhortation.

If Lin Chen could enter the top 30 in the competition, Huaer would give Lin Chen the letter which was mainly a warning. The letter reminded Lin Chen to be modest and restrained, and not to be carried away by short-term achievements.

In the words of his junior fellow apprentice, Lin Chen came from an ordinary fisherman's family, and was able to enter the top 30 in the martial arts competition. He was afraid that everyone around him would praise him. He was afraid that Lin Chen would lose his ambition to make progress in martial arts amidst the praise from others, so he wrote a letter to give Lin Chen a wake-up call.

Another letter mainly of encouragement was written when Lin Chen ranked last in the competition and felt the gap between him and those students from well-off families. He became discouraged and gave up on martial arts.

It can be said that his junior brother really put a lot of effort into Lin Chen.

"Tell me, what if your disciple makes it into the top 20 in the competition?"

Yu Yongnian shook his head: "Sister, please stop joking. I am optimistic about Lin Chen's perseverance in martial arts, but martial arts cannot be advanced just by perseverance, especially in the awakening realm, the role of silver and money is more significant."

"My expectation for Lin Chen is to open up ten acupoints within a year, and then earn money while practicing martial arts, and open up twenty-four acupoints within three years."

As Lin Chen's instructor, Yu Yongnian also hopes that Lin Chen can gain more insights and move on to organ training as quickly as possible.

But hope is hope, and reality is reality. The goal he set for Lin Chen was actually already an extremely high standard. To achieve it faster... would be a bit too unrealistic.

"Junior brother, how about we make a bet? If Lin Chen makes it into the top 20 in this competition..."

"If Lin Chen makes it into the top 20, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Shu Suwan smiled slightly. This time when she came to Huizhou Prefecture, her junior brother's journey to learn martial arts was not smooth. Although her junior brother did not show it, he must have been very bored as he practiced martial arts alone in the backyard for several days.

The bet was made just to make my junior feel a little more at ease.

She also didn't think that Lin Chen would be able to make it into the top 20 in the March martial arts competition.

……

……

Group D, Group E, Group Xu...

The fight in the martial arts arena was still going on, and at this moment, at the back door of Poyang County Government Office, one by one, horse-riding yamen runners left the government office, went out of the city, and headed towards the various towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Poyang County.

Qingshan Town, Kaohe Town, Gaojia Town, Shimen Town, Lianhua Town, Xiangshui Town...

The bailiffs rushed to each town, and soon people from each town rode horses to the villages below.

Fourteen towns, a total of 122 villages, all received the notice within four hours.

At the same time, the instructors of the martial arts halls in each town also informed the students of the martial arts halls of the news.

In previous years, these martial arts competitions were held inside the Wuzheng Institute, and outsiders were not allowed to watch. Now there is such a good opportunity to bring the students to see the strength of the martial arts school disciples and see how powerful they are after learning martial arts, which can make the students more determined to learn martial arts.

……

……

At the Wuzheng Institute's martial arts arena, the competition among nine groups of students ended.

The nine winners are:

Zhang Qing from Group A Iron Blood Martial Arts School.

Meng Yuan from Group B Mantis Martial Arts School.

Group C: Lin Chen from Jingshui Martial Arts School. Group D: Ge Gaoyuan from Qixing Martial Arts School.

Zuo Qi from Group E’s Kuangfeng Martial Arts School.

Fu Ang from the Xu group Zhenyue Martial Arts School.

Fu Jingya from Jingshui Martial Arts School in Group Geng.

Zhao Cang of Xin Group's Iron-Blooded Martial Arts School.

Qian Jun from Zhenyue Martial Arts School in Ren Group.

Among them, there are five students with seven orifices and four students with six orifices.

At the scene, the atmosphere in Qingfeng Martial Arts School was very depressing. In this competition, no student from Qingfeng Martial Arts School broke out from the group.

Chi Hanfei, who had the greatest hope of winning, met Meng Yuan, who also had seven orifices and had mastered the Mantis Boxing to some extent. Otherwise, if he had been in another group, he would have had a great chance of winning.

Luck is also part of strength.

However, judging from the martial arts schools that the nine students belonged to, many rational people at the scene were not surprised at this result at all. Among the nine people, two students from Tiexue Martial Arts School, Zhenyue Martial Arts School, and Jingshui Martial Arts School each broke through the siege.

It's not just luck, it's also a reflection of the strength of the three martial arts schools.

The top three martial arts schools in the last martial arts school competition are indeed much stronger than the other five.

After the group competition, there will be ranking competition.

The competition for the 18th to 50th place!
Although there are a lot of people, the ranking competition goes very quickly. According to the rules of the Wu Zheng Institute, for matches of the same level, the winner will fight against the winner, and the loser will fight against the loser. Finally, the final winner of the same level can challenge the loser of a higher level. After a successful challenge, he can continue to challenge the winner of a higher level.

Such ranking cannot be completely accurate. If an accurate ranking is to be achieved, a preliminary round-robin tournament is required, followed by a semi-final round-robin tournament. However, it is obvious that neither the Wuzheng Institute nor the martial arts hall has the intention to make the competition rules so detailed.

As night fell, the fight ended. After Lin Chen greeted Lu Yongfeng and Zhao Jingchuan from a distance, he left with the students of the martial arts school.

Junior Brother Lu and his two companions all did very well in this competition, all making it into the top fifty, and Junior Brother Lu even made it into the top thirty, ranking twenty-eighth. This ranking is already an excellent result for the students in the town's martial arts hall.

In previous competitions among the eight martial arts schools, the students from this town always came at the bottom.

However, Lin Chen also understood that a more important reason why Junior Brother Lu and the other two were able to achieve such a good ranking in this competition was that the competition was too short.

The martial arts school has been open for three months, and even for students from other towns, the school's expenses can be kept up. The longer the time goes, the more the difference in family financial conditions becomes apparent.

Kong Yinglei brought Lin Chen and other students back to the martial arts hall and asked everyone to go back to the dormitory to rest. He did not give Lin Chen any special training.

At this point, special training is no longer useful.

……

……

At the same time, the news about this duel began to spread among the disciples of various martial arts schools, and the two most widely spread names were: Lin Chen and Meng Yuan.

One is a person who has mastered the seven acupoints and has achieved minor success in mantis boxing.

One of them has opened six acupoints, but his Qingfeng Palm and Shuiyun Palm are only slightly successful.

what?
You ask why Lin Chen can practice Qingfeng Palm and Shuiyun Palm at the same time?

You really asked the right person.

Let me tell you, my cousin is in Qingfeng Martial Arts School. It is said that it is because Qingfeng Martial Arts School looks down on Lin Chen...

Let me tell you, my cousin is a student of Jingshui Martial Arts School. According to my cousin, Lin Chen had a very high talent for Qingfeng Palm, but Qingfeng Martial Arts School disdained Lin Chen because of his ordinary family background and finally gave up on him.

impossible?
My cousin said that this matter is known to everyone in Jingshui Martial Arts School.

My cousin said that all the disciples of Qingfeng Martial Arts School knew about this.

Who gave up Lin Chen?

I heard it was the deputy master Qi of Qingfeng Martial Arts School!

That night, a servant at Qingfeng Martial Arts School heard the sound of porcelain breaking in the yard of Deputy Master Qi.
