Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 108 Hui Gang's Beginning, Great Success is Hopeful (Additional Updates Asking for Monthly Tickets)
"I'm in Wuyuan?"

Feeling the soft quilt on his body, Lin Chen glanced around.

I fainted the moment I walked out of the iron house, most likely in Wuyuan.

"Mr. Lin is awake. I will go inform Deacon Yan."

In front of the bed, a maid saw Lin Chen wake up, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. After saying these words, she trotted out of the house.

Lin Chen got off the bed and found that his blood circulation was flowing smoothly and there were no scars on his body.

"panel."

[Host: Lin Chen]

[Realm: Extreme Enlightenment Realm (9/24): (10/200)]

[Qi and Blood: 53500] (Expand to view past Qi and Blood growth)

[Qingfeng Palm: Perfection]

[Water Cloud Palm: Great Mastery (0/1)]

[Iron Bone Skill: Mastery (1/10)]

Seeing that his Qi and blood increased by a thousand points, Lin Chen understood that normally from nine orifices to ten orifices, the Qi and blood should increase by ten thousand points, but his own Qi and blood increased by double that and could increase by twenty thousand points.

As expected, the further one progresses in the Awakening Stage, the more Qi and blood one gains, and the greater the difference in strength becomes.

Similarly, the difficulty of enlightenment is also greater.

This means that in the same amount of time, more elixirs and rare bird meat need to be taken.

During this period, Lin Chen also maintained the frequency of taking one Ziqiao Pill every day, and the expenditure was more than one hundred taels a month.

For someone like Wu Ming who has eleven orifices opened, the money he spends will be even more.

"The three bottles of Zhiqiao Dan awarded by the martial arts hall have been used up. I have to spend money to buy some at the martial arts pavilion."

Just when Lin Chen was thinking about how many months the money he had on him could last, Yan Hean appeared at the door.

"Mr. Lin is awake."

"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you, Senior."

"Mr. Lin, you are too polite. To be honest, I didn't expect that you could last thirty hammers in your first time in the iron house. Compared with the shock you brought to me, this little thing is nothing. It's just that I didn't expect that you actually had something as good as the purple crystal marrow fluid."

Yesterday, after Lin Chen fainted, when Yan Hean arranged for the maid to clean Lin Chen's body, she saw the bottle of medicine in Lin Chen's arms.

There was the words "Amethyst Marrow Fluid" engraved on the medicine bottle, which allowed him to recognize it. Thinking of the efficacy of Amethyst Marrow Fluid, he opened the bottle and poured two drops into the bathtub.

"Senior Yan, is this purple crystal marrow fluid very precious?"

Lin Chen asked curiously. From Lord Su's tone, he could sense that the purple crystal marrow fluid was very precious, but he was not sure to what extent.

Since Senior Yan knows him, I can just ask him clearly.

"This thing is priceless. It is almost impossible to find in the outside world except in the Military Affairs Department. This medicine is a holy medicine for martial artists who practice horizontal training. If I am not mistaken, this purple crystal marrow fluid should be given to Master Lin by Mr. Su from the Military Affairs Department, right?"

"Senior, your brilliant plan is indeed a gift from Lord Su to me."

"It seems that Lord Su thinks highly of Master Lin. With Lord Su's salary as the director of the Military Affairs Department, he can only exchange one bottle of purple crystal marrow fluid from the Military Affairs Department at most in a year."

"One year's salary can only be exchanged for one bottle?"

Lin Chen was shocked. Doesn’t this mean that Lord Su spent three years’ salary on himself?

Seeing Lin Chen's shocked look, Yan He'an knew that Su Lingchuan had not told Lin Chen how precious the purple crystal marrow fluid was. Even though he knew that Su Lingchuan didn't tell him because when Lin Chen grew up to a certain level, he would know the value of this favor, he still had a new respect for Su Lingchuan's courage.

"Mr. Lin, during my tenure as an official in Daliang, in addition to the salary in silver, there is also a salary for political achievements. As the director of the Military Affairs Office, if the martial arts under my rule are prosperous and the political achievements are outstanding, I will give contribution points as a reward."

"For many officials, money and salary are not what they value. Instead, contribution points are what they need. With contribution points, they can go to the government treasury to exchange for the resources they need for cultivation."

Yan He smiled and said, "I think that Master Lin and Instructor Ling's exemplary relationship as a teacher and disciple has helped Lord Su accumulate a lot of political achievements. Lord Su is just returning the favor."

That's it!

Lin Chen once again admired the foresight of Emperor Taizu of Daliang. He thought that the cultivation resources in the government treasury would be difficult to buy in the outside world even if one had money. Only in this way would those strong people be willing to serve as officials in the court.

Otherwise, if it were just for silver, the purpose of many warriors becoming officials would become to make money.

Whether it is out of sincerity or for the sake of cultivating resources and making political achievements, the ultimate beneficiaries are the people under the rule.

A gentleman does not care about his deeds.

"Since Master Lin has the purple crystal marrow fluid, he can enter the iron house once every five days to observe the Thousand Hammers Diagram."

Yan Hean's words made Lin Chen happy. Just by observing the Thousand Hammers Diagram for the first time, he was able to practice the Iron Bone Skill to proficiency. Even if the subsequent effects could not be compared with the first time, it was still faster than practicing in the martial arts hall.

"Senior, I have something I'm curious about. Should I ask?"

"Master Lin, please speak."

Lin Chen nodded: "May I ask which senior wrote this Thousand Hammers Diagram?"

In Lin Chen's opinion, this Thousand Hammers Picture is no worse than the Martial Arts Will Picture Scroll he obtained at the beginning. The picture scroll carrying the Martial Arts Will requires a sixth-grade warrior to carve. The origin of the senior who drew the Thousand Hammers Picture is probably even more shocking.

"I don't even know."

Yan Hean shook his head. Seeing Lin Chen's puzzled expression, he explained, "This picture was hung on the wall by Elder Zhao. If Young Master Lin is interested, wait until Elder Zhao comes back and I will take Young Master Lin to meet Elder Zhao."

It was Yan Hean who decided on his own to reveal the existence of Elder Zhao to Lin Chen.

Seeing Lin Chen's performance in the iron house, Yan Hean is now extremely sure that Lin Chen is absolutely qualified to be included in the martial arts garden list, and Elder Zhao will definitely meet Lin Chen after he returns.

Wu Yuan might not necessarily look down upon those young geniuses who made rapid breakthroughs in their realms.

Only young men with a high level of understanding of martial arts can catch Wu Yuan's eye.

He has a very high level of understanding of martial arts and possesses extraordinary perseverance. This kind of genius is what Wu Yuan wants.

"Elder Zhao?"

"I arranged for Master Lin to practice with the Qingfeng Palm warriors, including letting Master Lin observe the Thousand Hammers Diagram yesterday. These were all instructions from Elder Zhao before he left. I was just executing them on his behalf."

Yan Hean smiled slightly, and there was some surprise in Lin Chen's eyes. So, Elder Zhao from Wuyuan valued his potential?
"Thank you, Elder Zhao, for your cultivation. I still have one question."

"Mr. Lin wants to ask what the purpose of establishing the Martial Garden is."

"Ah."

Lin Chen nodded. At first he thought that Wu Garden was just established for the martial artists in Poyang County to facilitate communication and exchange, but now it seems that Wu Garden is not as simple as he imagined.

Take the Thousand Hammers Diagram for example. It is considered a treasure in the hearts of martial artists who practice martial arts. I am afraid that even a strong warrior of the first level would be tempted by it.

How could such a small county like Poyang come up with such a treasure?

Even if there are such treasures, they should be regarded as treasures and will never be easily shown to others for irrelevant people to observe.

"As an old man, I cannot reveal too much to Master Lin. I can only tell you that Wu Yuan has no ill will towards Master Lin, nor towards the warriors of Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangnan Road, or even the entire Daliang warriors."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Although Senior Yan's words were vague, he also revealed an important piece of information to him.

Especially the last sentence, Wu Yuan has no ill will towards all the warriors in Daliang.

So, Wuyuan doesn’t belong to Daliang?
At first, Lin Chen guessed that Wuyuan might be related to the imperial court, or that it was a force established by some top warriors in Daliang, with the purpose of searching for talented warriors from all over the country. He guessed wrong.

Wu Yuan’s origins are even higher than this.

"Mr. Lin, this world is far more vast and wonderful than you imagined. Once you meet Elder Zhao, many of your doubts will be solved."

Knowing that Senior Yan would not reveal more, Lin Chen did not continue to ask. He believed what Senior Yan said, that Wu Yuan had no ill will towards him.

However, there was no Wuyuan in Qianshan County, which reminded him.

Why was a Wuyuan with such a mysterious origin established only in Poyang County? What is so special about Poyang County?

"If Master Lin wants to continue to observe the Thousand Hammers Diagram, he can live in the Martial Arts Garden without having to travel back and forth between the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Arts Garden."

"Thank you, Senior Yan."

Lin Chen clasped his fists in thanks. He spent most of his time in the dormitory practicing Iron Bone Kung Fu at Zhenyue Martial Arts School. There was really no difference between staying at Zhenyue Martial Arts School and staying at Martial Arts Garden.

Five days later, Lin Chen observed the Thousand Hammers Diagram again.

This time was better than before. I didn't faint when I walked out of the iron house, but I was still exhausted.

Fortunately, the progress of Iron Bone Skill increased by 2 points.

[Iron Bone Skill: Mastery (3/10)]

It seems that if I go in four more times, I can achieve some basic success in the Iron Bone Skill.

With his proficiency in Iron Bone Skill, Lin Chen's body has become fatter than before. Although he has not reached the level of Gu Shan and Fu Ang, he has also shown signs of horizontal training.

A month and a half later.

In the hot summer, Lin Chen once again stepped into the iron house.

Yan He'an watched Lin Chen go in, feeling a little emotional. Originally, he estimated that Lin Chen would enter the Iron House once every five days to observe the Thousand Hammers Diagram, but after only three times, Lin Chen went in once every three days, and now once a day.

The Thousand Hammers Diagram does not mean that the pain will decrease as your horizontal training skills improve.

The Thousand Hammers Chart has a total of one thousand hammers, which changes according to the strength of the observer.

The further you go, the more intense the pain becomes.

Entering the room every five days is not only for physical recovery, but also for psychological endurance.

The courage to enter every day shows how strong his will and perseverance are, which is unimaginable.

Inside the iron house.

Lin Chen looked forward. He was able to come here every day because he could see his own progress.

No one is a masochist, except for a few minorities. At least Lin Chen thinks he is a normal person.

When he sees the progress changes on the panel, he often feels motivated.

Dedication and hard work are not scary, what is scary is that there is no reward for the dedication and hard work.

"bring it on."

Lin Chen whispered, and his entire skin was shaking. The blood in his body began to circulate, a layer of khaki appeared on his body surface, and layers of particles covered the entire skin surface, like goose bumps.

Signs of minor success in Iron Bone Skill: Stone Body!

The body is like stone, and it is difficult for swords and spears to penetrate.

As early as half a month ago, his Iron Bone Skill had already achieved minor success.

Small success is a stone body, and big success is a returning force.

Iron Bone Kung Fu is an entry-level horizontal training kung fu. An entry-level horizontal training kung fu is not only about being able to withstand blows. When practiced to perfection, it can even be able to rebound the force of attacks from others.

The layer of goose bump-like particles on Lin Chen's body surface looks like scales if you look closely. When the heavy hammer falls, these particles fluctuate up and down with extremely small amplitude.

However, after only half a breath, the particles on the body surface completely dissipated as if they were crushed by Mount Tai.

"It's still not fast enough, or the breathing rhythm is not right."

The Iron Bone Exercise uses breathing and the circulation of Qi and blood as its basic rhythm to adjust the muscles of the whole body. Lin Chen started out by sharpening his bones, but now he has moved beyond sharpening and has reached a more mysterious understanding.

"Come again!"

The light came on again, and the horrible tearing feeling came over me again. Every inch of muscle and every bone was creaking, as if groaning in pain.

But Lin Chen had no time to resist the pain. His face was extremely ferocious. He relied on his strong will to keep his mind clear and constantly adjusted the frequency and speed of the Iron Bone Skill.

……

……

One hammer!
Two hammers!

Three hammers!

……

……

With each hammer strike, Lin Chen's blood and energy also fluctuated with the impact of this force, constantly unloading this force, just like driving a small boat in rough waves. Although it was extremely dangerous, he found a way to balance.

The particles on Lin Chen's body surface are increasing in number, densely spread all over his body. These golden particles make his body surface glow with a faint golden light.

Finally, after watching the Thousand Hammers Diagram again and seeing the heavy hammer fall again, a roar came from Lin Chen's body. His blood roared at this moment, and he felt that some kind of shackles in his body were completely broken at this moment.

At the same time, Lin Chen's body underwent earth-shaking changes.

The particles on the surface of the body sparkled with a metallic luster at this moment. The layer of scale-like particles had completely fused together to form a layer of solid armor, but it soon disappeared.

"The return of the power is just beginning, and great success is expected."

……

……

Raozhou Military Administration Department!
Su Lingchuan lowered his head and looked at the letter handed to him by the teacher, his eyes scanning the contents on the paper with doubt.

As soon as he saw the first line, his pupils suddenly shrank. After reading the whole letter, he looked angry: "Teacher, what is written in this letter is completely false."

"Let's not talk about whether the content of this letter is false or not. Who could deliver the letter to the Military Administration Department?"

Qiu Rufeng pointed out something to his disciple. At this moment, a letter accusing Lin Chen was sent to the Military Administration Department. The intention of the person behind it was what was most worthy of reflection.

Su Lingchuan also reacted, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Teacher, there are only two types of people. One type is those who are afraid of Lin Chen's strength and want to bring him down before the fight. The other type is those who have a grudge against Lin Chen."

This letter is a letter denouncing Lin Chen.

The content of the letter mentioned that Lin Chen cheated in the martial arts hall and took elixirs privately, but pretended to be from a poor family and relied on part-time work to get the first place in the martial arts hall. However, there was no evidence in the letter and it was completely speculation.

"A letter is nothing, but the person behind it must be dug out."

There was a cold look in Qiu Rufeng's eyes. This letter exposed the other party's thoughts. A person who had ill intentions towards the talented students under his command must not be kept.
