Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 118: The fight turned out differently, and all parties were dissatisfied (please subscribe)
Yushan County Martial Arts School.

The results of the provincial examination are as stable as those of Poyang County.

However, Yushan County has been steadily hovering around fifth or sixth place, unlike Poyang County which has always been at the bottom.

The students from the martial arts schools of the two counties arrived at Raozhou Prefecture at the same time, so Su Lingchuan had to wait for a while.

Just as we were waiting, another team appeared.

Lin Chen sensed the commotion from other students around him and looked in the direction of another city gate.

When he saw the two figures in the team clearly, he understood why there was such a commotion.

People from Qianshan County also came.

He saw Wu Ming and Zhu Tao.

The three counties gathered at the city gate, which also attracted the attention of people entering and leaving the city gate.

According to the rules of Raozhou Prefecture, no one is allowed to gather or make noise at the city gate. However, the soldiers guarding the city gate at this moment acted as if they did not notice the gathering of the three martial arts schools, especially the behavior of those from Poyang County who stopped and waited.

The rules are aimed at ordinary people, and these gatekeepers do have some eyesight.

Yushan County arrived first. Su Lingchuan talked with the director of Yushan County Military Affairs Institute with a smile, and the students from the two counties looked at each other.

However, the look in the eyes of the students from Yushan County towards Poyang County was clearly filled with contempt.

The students on both sides had no desire to talk.

However, with the arrival of students from Qianshan County, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

The students from Qianshan County stared at Poyang County, and Wu Ming looked at Lin Chen with undisguised resentment in his eyes.

The students from Qianshan County did not know Lin Chen, but they followed Wu Ming's gaze and locked onto Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's expression did not change when faced with the looks from the students from Qianshan County.

"Brother Lin, the two people standing in the front are Zhang Qi and Shen Ge from Qianshan County."

The students from Qianshan County looked at Lin Chen, and the students from Poyang County did the same, their eyes stayed on the two students at the front of the Qianshan County queue.

Lin Chen also looked at Zhang Qi and Shen Ge. The three of them looked at each other, and Lin Chen smiled and nodded slightly.

His action made Zhang Qi stunned for a moment, and he turned his head away and ignored him. On the contrary, Shen Ge, after being stunned, smiled slightly and responded politely.

For Lin Chen, he represents Poyang County and will naturally show no mercy in the fight, but this does not mean that he will make enemies with every warrior in Qianshan County.

Competition first, friendship second.

This is Lin Chen’s point of view. Of course, if the other party does not want friendship, he will not flatter the other party to make friends with him.

"Lin Chen, I heard that you defeated Junior Brother Wu. I hope you won't let me down on the day of the duel."

Zhang Qi seemed to feel that by turning his head away, he had weakened his prestige, and then he reacted and said something to Lin Chen.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the students in Qianshan County became excited and stared at Lin Chen.

"I shouldn't let you down."

Lin Chen raised the corner of his mouth. Although he was not good at talking, he was not the kind of person who kept silent.

"hope so."

Seeing that Zhang Qi had ended his speech, the students from Qianshan County had some regret on their faces. In their opinion, Senior Brother Zhang should have said more harsh words. During the duel in March, Senior Brother Zhang... No, it was Senior Brother Shen, who said one word after another, which was truly murderous and heart-breaking.

Why is Senior Brother Shen so silent this time?
The students from Yushan County who were watching the fun on the sidelines looked bored when they saw that the two sides from Poyang County and Qianshan County were just talking to each other.

Shouldn't they start cursing and swearing at each other?
Are you still a young man if you stop at this point?
Especially in Qianshan County, have you lost your old tradition of scolding others before starting a war?

The ventriloquism of the students of Qianshan County's martial arts school is well-known in all counties of Raozhou Prefecture. It is said that this fighting style was created by a powerful man in Qianshan County. Before the battle begins, they will first use a set of verbal output to make the opponent angry and unbalanced.

There was nothing exciting to watch, so the students from the three counties went into the city separately.

After entering the city, they went to the Wuzhengsi, who brought Lin Chen and his party to the courtyard.

Lin Chen, Gu Shan and Fu Ang live in the same yard.

"I'm afraid this fight will be a fierce one."

Tai Rubai hurried into the yard and looked at Lin Chen and the other two. "According to the tradition of Qianshan County students, they must first engage in verbal battles when fighting. This time when they met at the city gate, there was not much verbal display from the Qianshan County side. There is only one possibility..."

Gu Shan and Fu Ang looked at their master. Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and subconsciously replied, "A barking dog is not vicious, and a biting dog does not bark."

"Yes, that's right. Lin Chen, what you said is very appropriate."

Tai Rubai clapped his hands. Although Lin Chen's description was a bit crude, it was really appropriate.

Qianshan County did not engage in verbal attacks because they felt that there would be no problem in winning the fight and there was no need to engage in verbal attacks.

"Today, Lord Su will report your martial arts realm to the Military Affairs Department. Qianshan County will definitely be aware of the fact that you, Lin Chen, have taken the Tongqiao Pill."

What Tai Rubai was worried about was that once the people in Qianshan County found out that Lin Chen had taken the Tongqiao Pill, they would also take it. By then, Zhang Qi would have opened sixteen acupoints. And Shen Ge was the first in the March competition in Qianshan County and had two Tongqiao Pills in his hand. Once he took them, he would break through to seventeen acupoints.

"Brother Lin, have you taken the Tongqiao Pill?"

Fu Ang listened to Director Tai's words with a look of surprise on his face. It would be a waste to take the Tongqiao Pill at this time.

Gu Shan also felt that what Senior Brother Lin did was inappropriate. All ten of them had Tongqiao Pills, and Qianshan County also had some. In this county fight, only the top three would have rewards, but it would not be a loss if they could get rewards by taking Tongqiao Pills. The key was that if they took it, their opponents would also take it.

Senior Brother Lin is now taking the Tongqiao Pill, forcing the people in Qianshan County to take it as well. It can only be said that he is hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting himself by 800.

"Lin Chen has a chance to compete for the top three if he takes the Tongqiao Pill, but you, Gu Shan, don't have to take it."

Tai Rubai was afraid that Gu Shan would follow suit, so he reminded him that it would be a waste to take the Tongqiao Pill if he had no chance to compete for the top three.

"This time, twenty students from each county will participate in the county competition. The rules of the competition are different from previous years. If you are confident in your ability, you can choose to fight against several opponents. If you win, you will not only eliminate your opponent, but also double your points. The county with the higher score will be the winner. As for the ranking, the winner will take first place, and second and third place will be ranked according to the winning points."

Gu Shan and Fu Ang looked confused, obviously they didn't quite understand. Lin Chen seemed to be thinking about something. This rule was a good opportunity to score points for students whose strength far exceeded that of other students.

"Gym Master, do you choose your opponent by choosing a one-on-many match?"

Lin Chen asked a question that he was concerned about. If he wanted to choose a one-on-many approach, but if Qianshan County directly sent Zhang Qi and Shen Ge, this plan would definitely not be able to proceed.

On the contrary, if Zhang Qi and Shen Ge wanted to gain points through this route, they would have no chance as long as I came out to fight them.

"If there are more than five people, you can choose your own opponents."

Tai Rubai gave the answer, which was decided by Lord Su and Lord Zhang. It's okay to be confident in yourself and want to score points, but you have to have the ability to do so. You need to select at least five opponents.

Gu Shan and Fu Ang opened their mouths slightly. They didn't even dare to think about challenging five opponents.

Taking Poyang County as an example, the worst among the twenty students have thirteen acupoints. Besides Lin Chen, there are only two others with fourteen acupoints, Song Yu and Fei Hong.

Even if Zhang Qi and Shen Ge have opened up fifteen acupoints, it is not easy to deal with the five people who have opened up thirteen acupoints.

"Besides that, there is another rule in the duel. The loser will not have another chance to challenge again."

When Tai Rubai heard Lord Su mention this rule, he was a little surprised, until Lord Su explained it to him and he suddenly realized it.

Those who are arrogant are fools!
"So, people like me are just walking points."

Fu Ang understood the rules and spoke quietly.

In the county fight, only the top three will get rewards, there is no subsequent ranking, it seems like he is here to brush points for his opponents.

Tai Rubai fell silent. He wanted to say something to comfort Fu Ang, but he found that this was exactly what Fu Ang said.

"Hmph, even if he wants to use me to gain points, I will still make him lose a few teeth. Don't worry, Senior Brother Lin, if Zhang Qi and Shen Ge choose to fight with multiple people, I will not let them suffer even if I get hurt."

Fu Ang quickly adjusted his mood. He had not planned to get any ranking in this county fight.

On the contrary, Gu Shan, who was standing aside, had a rather gloomy expression.

This rule is most disadvantageous to the top ten students because they do not have the strength to fight one against five.

Lin Chen noticed Gu Shan's disappointed expression and consoled him, "Junior Brother Gu, you don't have to be like this. With my strength, I wouldn't dare choose you guys even if I had to fight five of them alone. I think the same is true for Zhang Qi and Shen Ge. Zhang Qi and Shen Ge are more likely to challenge students like Junior Brother Xun Fu. Whether they can win in the end depends on you guys winning the single match."

Hearing Lin Chen's comfort, Gu Shan's face looked better. Senior Brother Lin was right. Zhang Qi and Shen Ge chose to fight against many, and they only selected Junior Brother Fu and the dozen or so who were ranked first. They would never dare to choose those who ranked in the top ten in the March competition.

Fu Ang, who was standing by, saw Brother Gu's expression turn from gloomy to cheerful, but he was wondering something else in his heart: Was what Brother Lin said true?

He has a deep understanding of Brother Lin's humility.

"Conserve your energy and don't think too much, especially Lin Chen. Remember what Lord Su told you. The road of martial arts is long, so don't worry about temporary gains and losses." Tai Rubai gave his final instructions.

"The disciple understands."

……

……

Wuzhengsi, the area where students from Qianshan County live.

At this moment, the eight hall masters including Zhang Qi and Shen Ge were also in the same courtyard.

"Sir, Lin Chen has opened fourteen orifices. Obviously, he took the orifice-opening pill?"

"For a county fight, he actually took Tongqiao Pills. Did he think that only Poyang County has Tongqiao Pills?"

Zhang Wangshan also frowned. He was a little surprised that Lin Chen took the Tongqiao Pill. He didn't expect Su Lingchuan to do this.

In Zhang Wangshan's mind, Lin Chen must have taken the Tongqiao Pill at Su Lingchuan's instruction.

"Masters, Master Zhang, since Lin Chen is taking the Tongqiao Pill, then I will take it too. Senior Brother Shen doesn't need to."

Zhang Qi took the initiative to speak: "After taking the Tongqiao Pill, my sixteen orifices were opened, so it's no problem for me to deal with Lin Chen. As for the first place, I won't compete with Senior Brother Shen."

Zhang Qi was very impressed with Shen Ge. He thought there was no need to take Senior Brother Shen's Tongqiao Pill at this time. As long as he took the Tongqiao Pill, defeating Lin Chen would not be a problem.

"Okay, Zhang Qi, I am very pleased that you can take the initiative to speak up. Don't worry, after this county fight, I will never treat you unfairly."

Zhang Wangshan was very satisfied with Zhang Qi. Zhang Qi smiled slightly. This was also the reason why he took the initiative to speak. Senior Brother Shen had two Tongqiao Pills in his hand. If he really wanted to take them, he would not be Senior Brother Shen's opponent. It would be better to use this opportunity to gain favor in front of Lord Zhang.

"Master Zhang, it takes one or two days to digest the Tongqiao Pill, but there is only one day left before the competition. I'm afraid it's too late."

"No problem. I will ask the Director General to postpone the duel between Qianshan County and Poyang County for one day. The other counties will start the day after tomorrow. The Director General will agree to this special situation."

Zhang Wangshan has this confidence, and he also wants to publicize this matter so that other counties will know how shameless Su Lingchuan is. For the sake of a county fight, he actually disregards the future of the students.

……

……

next day!

Lin Chen, Fu Ang and Gu Shan were about to go to the canteen of the Ministry of Military Affairs to have their meal, but were stopped by Master Tai.

"You don't have to go to the cafeteria for meals today. Lord Su has already made arrangements with the cafeteria. The Military Affairs Department will arrange for the cafeteria servants to bring you food."

Seeing Tai Rubai's gloomy face, Lin Chen and the other two looked at each other, and Fu Ang asked, "Master, what happened?"

"Qianshan County requested that the duel between the two counties be postponed for one day on the grounds that Lin Chen had taken the Tongqiao Pill. The director agreed, and the other counties also knew about this."

"It's okay to postpone it for one day."

Fu Ang still didn't understand. Tai Rubai glanced at Lin Chen and said, "During this county competition, students from various counties did not take the Tongqiao Pill. Lin Chen took the Tongqiao Pill, which caused them to discuss it."

talk?

I'm afraid it's a mockery.

Lin Chen understood why Master Tai told him not to go to the cafeteria. His act of taking the Tongqiao Pill was considered cheating in the eyes of students from various counties.

Although this cheating method exists in every county, no one uses it. If you use it yourself, you are breaking the rule, so the students from various counties naturally have nothing nice to say.

"Many warriors from Raozhou Prefecture will come to watch this fight. The date has been set. Our fight with Qianshan County will be postponed for one day. Tomorrow it will be the turn of Degao County and Yudong County. These two counties are also dissatisfied."

The county with the worst ranking will have the earliest competition time.

Now Degao County and Yudong County are scheduled to compete tomorrow. If some uninformed warriors think that Degao County and Yudong County are at the bottom, the two counties will naturally be dissatisfied.

The warriors of Raozhou Prefecture still pay close attention to the biannual provincial examination, but they pay more attention to the ranking of the students and very few pay attention to the ranking of the counties.

They did not dare to direct their dissatisfaction towards the Military Administration Department, so it fell on Poyang County and Lin Chen.

Lin Chen understood that this was the owner's care for him. Although he was not afraid of gossip, there was no need to reject the owner's kindness.

The best way to silence those who mock you is with strength.
