Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 95: A poor boy also has great ambitions

The main hall of Zhenyue Martial Arts School.

"Brother, are you really going to let Lin Chen practice the Iron Bone Skill?"

Hong Qianhai looked at his senior brother with some confusion.

Just now when Fu Ang brought Lin Chen into the martial arts hall, he was a little puzzled and couldn't figure out why Lin Chen came to Zhenyue Martial Arts Hall.

But when Lin Chen opened his mouth and said he wanted to learn the Iron Bone Skill, and his senior brother agreed directly, he was completely confused.

"Brother, this action may violate the rules of the Military Administration Office."

Tai Rubai raised his eyes and looked at his junior brother, and asked, "According to the regulations of the military administration, students cannot practice two techniques?"

Hong Qianhai was stunned. Thinking back carefully, it seemed that this rule was not mentioned in the many rules issued by the Wuzheng Office to the martial arts school.

"Even if Lin Chen didn't practice the Iron Bone Skill, didn't he practice the Wind Palm and the Water Cloud Palm?"

"That... that was a special case. It was Qi He from Qingfeng Martial Arts School who was blind and underestimated Lin Chen, which forced Lin Chen to join Jingshui Martial Arts School. If other students followed suit, it would be a mess."

"Do you want to follow suit?"

Tai Rubai sneered: "That requires them to have the ability to practice a technique to perfection in such a short time. Not to mention such a short time, even if they can do it within six months, they can also learn as many techniques as they want like Lin Chen."

Seeing his junior's puzzled look, Tai Rubai explained: "Junior, you don't know that a hundred years ago, warriors at the body-building stage practiced at least two techniques, and some even practiced three techniques. It was not until later that warriors changed to practice one technique, and the original practice path was called the extreme practice method."

"Practicing two or three techniques?"

Hong Qianhai was truly shocked. To be able to perfect one technique within three years was considered an excellent comprehension. He could not imagine how long it would take to perfect each technique if he practiced two or three techniques at the same time.

"It is precisely because this road is difficult to walk that a powerful person created a new method of cultivation a hundred years ago. As for which of the two methods of cultivation is stronger, there is no need for me to say more."

"Extreme training method..."

Hong Qianhai nodded. He could tell which one was stronger from the name.

"The extreme cultivation method was abandoned precisely because it was too difficult to cultivate. However, Lin Chen has shown a talent for enlightenment and has the opportunity to embark on this path. This has been approved by Lord Su."

As early as three days ago, he received the notice from Lord Su. To be honest, he was shocked when he heard it. He didn't expect Lin Chen to be so ambitious.

It's not only ambition, but also absolute self-confidence in oneself.

With the martial arts talent that Lin Chen has shown now, he has already met the genius requirements of the Military Administration Department. If he follows the Military Administration Department's path of cultivating geniuses, there will be absolutely no problem for him to enter the rank. It is just a matter of time.

This young man is incredible.

I chose the most difficult path.

"Brother, how should we treat Lin Chen here at the martial arts school?"

Having already accepted the fact that Lin Chen was practicing the Iron Bone Skill, Hong Qianhai asked another question of concern.

"In Lin Chen's mind, we are definitely not as good as Jingshui Martial Arts School, but we should at least establish a good relationship with them and treat them as formal students."

Tai Rubai stroked his beard and smiled, "The lesson learned from the Qingfeng Martial Arts School must not be repeated."

……

……

Huizhou Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Huangshan.

Yu Yongnian looked at the envelope in his hand with an ever-changing expression, his mouth slightly open the whole time, and finally he stood there like a clay figure, holding the letter.

Shu Suwan, who was standing by, saw this scene of her junior brother, and there was a look of confusion on her pretty face. She was curious about what Lin Chen wrote in the letter to make her junior brother look like this.

"Senior sister, please take a look."

After a while, Yu Yongnian came to his senses, handed the envelope to his senior sister, and his expression became strange.

"Let me see."

Shu Suwan took the letter, glanced at it, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

【Teaching as meeting:】

[The martial arts competition is over, and the disciple luckily wins first place...]
When Shu Suwan saw the first line of words, she almost suspected that she had read it wrong, and she read it several times before she was sure it was correct.

She finally understood why her junior fellow apprentice looked like that.

First place in the martial arts competition!

Overwhelms all the new students from the eight major martial arts schools!
If I was not sure that Lin Chen would not joke in the letter, and if I had not seen the contents of the letter with my own eyes, even if my junior brother had dictated it to me, I would have suspected that he was trying to make fun of me.

"Junior brother, you saw that Lin Chen had such great potential, so you helped Lin Chen in the first place?"

Shu Suwan raised her eyes to look at her junior brother, and Yu Yongnian shook his head: "If I could see that Lin Chen could grow to this point, why would I write those two letters?"

"Besides, do you think that Junior Brother's eyesight is better than yours?"

"Right."

Shu Suwan nodded slightly. She also knew about Lin Chen's family background and the situation in the martial arts hall. It can be said that the junior brother helped Lin Chen in the first place purely out of sympathy as an instructor for his student.

"At the time, I just felt that young people with aspirations should not be let down. A young man could say something like working to earn money for his studies and dared to put down his dignity in front of his fellow students. As an instructor, I should help him."

Yu Yongnian explained it again, and that if Lin Chen did not let him down and had achievements in martial arts, he would continue to help Lin Chen.

"Then Lord Su said that I am a model for teaching. I am really ashamed. I am not without utilitarianism. If Lin Chen fails to make a name for himself, I am afraid I will not continue to pay attention to him." Shu Suwan smiled slightly: "Judging by deeds instead of heart, this is not realistic. If Lin Chen fails to make a name for himself in martial arts, it is useless for you to pay attention to him. As for Lord Su's calling you a model for teaching, half of it is out of his own selfishness."

Seeing her junior fellow apprentice's puzzled expression, Shu Suwan also analyzed the intention of that Lord Su.

"Then according to Senior Sister, should I agree? Mainly, what are the pros and cons for this matter for Lin Chen?"

Yu Yongnian humbly sought advice, but not for himself, but more from the perspective of Lin Chen's interests.

"Of course I have to agree, but since Lord Su wants to use you two as a political achievement, he will naturally have to give you some benefits. I will write the reply on your behalf, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

Shu Suwan's eyes were dim: "Even if it's just for the words 'Master's Wife' in Lin Chen's letter, I should pay attention to it."

Yu Yongnian smiled awkwardly, and a blush appeared on his face.

"I will reply to Lord Su, but have you ever thought of stopping the extreme martial arts training method mentioned by Lin Chen in the letter?"

In contrast, Shu Suwan was more concerned about what Lin Chen mentioned in the letter, that he was going to embark on a path of extreme training. In her opinion, this was not the best choice.

"What do you mean, senior sister?"

"Since Lin Chen has perfected the Qingfeng Palm, the Martial Arts Department will certainly cultivate him. He will definitely reach the rank of the Martial Arts Master in two years at the fastest and five years at the slowest. Given his family background, he should aim to reach the rank of the Martial Arts Master instead of pursuing the ultimate limit of the Martial Arts."

Shu Suwan had also heard of the extreme martial arts training methods, but looking at the entire Rao Mansion, few people would take this path.

This path is extremely difficult, but if the children of aristocratic families want to break through themselves, they can still try it because they have the cost of trial and error.

Yu Yongnian smiled and said, "Senior Sister and I have different ideas. Since Lin Chen wants to take this path, then let's go ahead."

"Didn't you, Junior Brother, say that you hoped Lin Chen wouldn't be too ambitious?" Shu Suwan pressed.

"This is a different time. Since Lin Chen was able to perfect the Qingfeng Palm in such a short time and created a miracle, perhaps he can create a second miracle."

"If miracles are so easy to create, they are not miracles. With Lin Chen's family background, if he seeks to enter the rank within five years, and then sprint to the seventh rank if he has the chance, the Lin family will also become a prominent family in the Rao Mansion. This is a truly safe path. If you want to soar to the sky... you will often fall to the bottom."

The two men confronted each other and exchanged words.

“This road is extremely difficult to walk.”

"A child from a poor family can also have lofty ambitions."

Yu Yongnian had a firm look, his eyes were full of unquestionable light, he raised his chin slightly, looked directly into Shu Suwan's eyes, and said word by word: "Although Lin Chen did not mention the hardships of his training in the martial arts hall in his letter, he was despised by Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall and won the first place. Isn't it difficult?"

Shu Suwan frowned, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face, and said: "I know the hardships that Lin Chen has gone through to get to this point, but it is precisely because of this that he should be more cautious. It is not easy for a poor family to get to this point. If he is not careful, it will delay his subsequent martial arts progress, which is a pity."

"Senior sister, what you said makes sense." Yu Yongnian nodded slightly: "But senior sister still doesn't understand Lin Chen. Lin Chen is very determined in every step he takes on the martial arts path. Since he has chosen the path of extreme training, it means that he has the perseverance and confidence to continue on this path."

"Forget it. As the master's wife, I will not interfere in the affairs between you two, lest I be regarded as a bad person."

"What do you mean by that, Senior Sister? If Lin Chen were here, he would definitely be able to tell that Senior Sister is truly caring about him. If someone didn't truly care about him, he would only be encouraging him and not pouring cold water on him."

Yu Yongnian knew that his senior sister meant well, and that this was even a kind advice to Lin Chen.

But just as he said, the senior sister still didn't understand Lin Chen. From the moment Lin Chen wrote the letter to ask, he knew that his disciple had made up his mind.

In this case, as a teacher, he can only support it.

……

……

Iron Blood Martial Arts School.

Lin Chen followed Fu Ang to the dormitory area of the martial arts hall.

"Brother Lin, you can live in this dormitory. I'll be next door."

"Thank you, Junior Brother Fu."

Lin Chen entered the dormitory, which was fully equipped with bedding and toiletries. There was also a large wooden tub for bathing in the small courtyard.

"Brother Lin, our martial arts disciples need to polish their bodies and take medicinal baths, so there will be bathtubs in the dormitory."

Fu Ang saw Lin Chen staring at the tub, and explained with a smile, then continued: "Then Senior Brother Lin should rest early today. I will take you to the Martial Arts Pavilion tomorrow to get the Iron Bone Skill Secret Manual."

"tomorrow?"

Lin Chen shook his head. Tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows.

"Now, please, Junior Brother Fu, take me there now."

"Brother Lin is going to practice today, but it's getting late..."

"It's okay. I'm used to practicing at night. Practicing under the moon is a good time when the breeze is cool."

Hearing this, Fu Ang's eyes were filled with admiration. He finally understood why Senior Brother Lin was able to perfect the Qingfeng Palm so quickly.

In addition to talent, there is also hard work.

Practicing under the moon, the breeze is cool...

It sounds easy, but how many people can do it?

At this moment, he admired Lin Chen from the bottom of his heart, rather than just respecting his strength as before.
