Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 177 Ye Feng: I lost to Lin Chen

Linhu Village.

After a day of hustle and bustle, things finally return to tranquility.

Early the next morning, Zhao Zanghu arrived at the Lin family and knocked on the door of Lin Chen's yard.

"Village Chief, what's the matter?"

Seeing the village chief coming to his house so early in the morning, Lin Chen was a little puzzled. After he returned to the village to worship his ancestors yesterday, the old village chief drank a lot at the buffet. He estimated that at his age, the old village chief would have to lie in bed for a long time before getting up. He didn't expect him to come so early in the morning, and he looked energetic and didn't look drunk at all.

"Xiao Chen, I'm here to discuss with you about renovating your house."

"There's no need to rebuild my house."

Lin Chen smiled and refused, saying that his yard was not small and there was no need to rebuild it.

"It is necessary." Zhao Zanghu said seriously, "Your status is different now, and you meet important people. If they come to visit you in Linhu Village, your house is still too small."

"Not many people will come to visit me. I'm still just a student..."

But before Lin Chen could finish his words, footsteps were heard outside the yard. It was the voice of his cousin Lin Hui.

"Lin Chen, someone is coming to the village entrance and says he's looking for you." Lin Hui rushed into the yard and shouted.

Lin Chen: …

"Xiao Chen, you're right to listen to me. This house will have to be rebuilt sooner or later. Our village is rich now. The village will give you the money, so you don't have to worry about it. When the time comes, I will discuss it with your parents."

Zhao Zanghu took the opportunity to persuade Lin Chen again, but Lin Chen was helpless because he also knew that the village chief had good intentions.

“It doesn’t have to be too luxurious, just enough for people to live in.”

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Zhao Zanghu patted his chest. Having been the village chief for so many years, he knew how to do this. After all, Lin Chen was a student now, so he couldn't be too ostentatious. The house should still be large, and as for the internal buildings, it didn't matter if they were simple for now, as they could be renovated later.

"Ah."

Lin Chen is still very relieved about the old village chief. An old person in the family is like a treasure.

Having the old village chief in Linhu Village really saved him a lot of trouble and he no longer had to worry about family matters.

Last night he heard from his parents that recently there have been many noble people from the city coming to the village, bringing various gifts and introducing some profitable businesses in the city to the family. His parents didn't know how to deal with these noble people from the city, so they asked the old village chief to accompany them.

"Brother Hui, did the person who came tell you his identity?"

"Well... didn't say, but from the accent, he doesn't sound like he's from Poyang County, and his clothes are very special, better than those nobles in the city."

For the villagers of Linhu Village, with the help of Lin Chen, they have also met many powerful businessmen in Poyang County, and they are already able to analyze some information from their clothing.

If it’s not Poyang County, could it be Raozhou Prefecture?

Lin Chen was a little confused, but still followed Lin Hui out of the courtyard. Not long after walking, he saw two figures walking towards him.

There was a boy and a girl. The boy looked about the same age as himself, while the girl was a little older and had grown up in all aspects of her body.

"Are you Lin Chen?"

Before Lin Chen could say anything, the young man opposite him spoke first. However, Lin Chen could hear a gnashing of resentment in the other party's tone.

I don't think I've ever seen this person.

"It is me, may I know what your name is, Senior Brother?"

"Ye Feng."

Ye Feng answered in a muffled voice. Lin Chen's appearance had been deeply imprinted in his mind.

It was this guy who opened up 19 acupoints at the Martial Arts Mountain and beat himself to the point of bleeding three times in a row.

Vomiting blood would be fine, but the key is that every time he slaps himself away.

I couldn't even take a single blow from this guy!

Ye Feng could not accept this reality. Before going to the martial arts academy this time, he deliberately chose to come to Jiangnan Road just to meet Master Lin Chen.

He didn't believe that there was someone at the same level whose strength was so far behind his. Maybe... there was something wrong with Wudao Mountain.

Although this possibility is very small, Ye Feng still holds a glimmer of fantasy in his heart!
"Junior Brother Lin, this is my brother Ye Feng, my name is Ye Jie."

Ye Jie at the side spoke with a smile, her delicate face looking at Lin Chen with interest. She had never seen Lin Chen, but her brother described Lin Chen as short and ugly.

Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

He has thick eyebrows and bright eyes. He is not very handsome, but his eyes are so bright that people can remember him at a glance.

It seems that his younger brother has a deep grudge against Lin Chen and deliberately discredits Lin Chen's appearance.

"So it's Senior Sister Ye and Junior Brother Ye. I wonder what you two want to see me about?"

"We two are from Guixi Road."

"Guixi Road?"

Lin Chen thought of the map of Daliang that he had seen. Guixi was not close to Jiangnan Road. Did these two people come from Guixi Road specifically to find him?

"Junior Brother Lin should know about the martial arts academy."

"Ah."

Seeing Lin Chen nod, Ye Jie smiled and said, "I am from Kyoto Martial Arts Academy. This time I am also taking my brother to the capital to prepare for the entrance examination of Kyoto Martial Arts Academy. I just happened to be passing by Jiangnan Road, so I came to see Junior Brother Lin."

After hearing the other party's explanation, Lin Chen was still a little confused. Just because he left his name on Wudao Mountain, he wanted to come and see him?
As if she had guessed what Lin Chen was thinking, Ye Jie smiled slightly and said, "Junior Brother Lin, to be honest, although the Ministry of Martial Arts has not announced that Junior Brother Lin has left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain for the second time, my sister and I know about it because my brother was fighting at the 19th opening point on the Martial Arts Mountain some time ago and wanted to leave his name there, but Junior Brother Lin got there first."

"So that's it."

Lin Chen understood that Ye Feng's target was also the Nineteen Acupoints of the Martial Arts Mountain, but he did not expect that he had left his name before him. After leaving his name, his identity and origin would be revealed at the Nineteen Acupoints of the Martial Arts Mountain. Ye Feng should have fought with him on the Martial Arts Mountain.

"My brother spent a lot of effort to leave his name at the 19th Awakening Point. Junior Brother Lin, you took the lead. My brother and you fought several times on the Martial Arts Mountain, and each time I lost."

It's a pity to lose!

Ye Jie heard these two words from her younger brother. According to her younger brother, he and Lin Chen had fought three times in Wudao Mountain, and each time he was defeated by Lin Chen within a hundred moves.

If his realm could not be suppressed any more and he had broken through to the twenty acupoints, if he was given another month, he would definitely be able to defeat Lin Chen.

Ye Feng listened to his elder sister's words, and he felt a little guilty, but he stood straight and even straightened his chest to hide his inner guilt.

"This time I came to visit Junior Brother Lin, in addition to wanting to see what Junior Brother Lin is like who left his name in Wudao Mountain, I also have another purpose." Ye Jie turned his eyes and fell on his brother: "Xiaofeng, you tell me."

"I want to have a sparring match with you!"

Ye Feng looked at Lin Chen, who was a little surprised. Was this going to be an offline real-person PK?

"This...I'm afraid it's not good."

Lin Chen was also somewhat tempted. Since this person had lost the fight with him on the Martial Arts Mountain, his strength must be strong. Fighting with him would also help him improve his fighting skills.

Each martial art has its own special features. This is what his teacher told him. The opponent is from Guixi Dao. Fighting with him will also allow him to understand the characteristics of Guixi Dao's martial arts.

"My sister and I made such a rash request, which was indeed a bit abrupt. This is a small token of our apology."

Ye Jie was holding a box in her hand: "There is a meteorite in this box, which is unique to our Guixi Dao. If it is used to refine a weapon, it will have the effect of breaking the barrier."

Meteorite?
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. He was no longer a newbie who knew nothing about martial arts.

The teacher prepared many books for him, including one that introduced many rare treasures in Daliang.

Meteorite is a strange stone from outer space that came from western Guangxi hundreds of years ago. The stone possesses a special energy that can break the martial artist's qi, and is an excellent material for refining weapons.

"Then I'll be honored to refuse it, Junior Brother." Lin Chen took the box. Although it was a wooden box, it felt heavy in his hand. The meteorite inside must be very heavy.

It was too early for Lin Chen to refine weapons. He thought of another wonderful use of meteorites, which was to use them to make arrows. Although the arrows he used were made of black iron, they were still much inferior to meteorites. If meteorite powder was added to the black iron, it would be enough to increase the lethality of the arrows.

After receiving the gift, Lin Chen was also somewhat tempted, so he didn't hesitate any longer and took the two brothers Ye Jie and Ye Feng directly to the back mountain of Linhu Village.

On the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, Ye Jie stood aside. Lin Chen and Ye Feng looked at each other, and their momentum began to rise.

Lin Chen did not underestimate Ye Feng. Since the opponent was able to fight with him for hundreds of moves on the Martial Arts Mountain before being defeated, his strength was unquestionable. Moreover, he traveled thousands of miles to Linhu Village to compete with him. It seemed that Ye Feng's strength had improved a lot. If he underestimated the opponent, he would most likely fail.

Ye Feng clasped his fists, his eyes filled with a burning desire for battle, and slowly raised his fists, while the Ye family's unique jade energy flowed through his body.

"Please enlighten me."

With a low shout, Ye Feng shot out like an arrow from a bow. Before he arrived, the wind from his fist was whistling in front of him.

Lin Chen's pupils shrank slightly. This Junior Brother Ye's speed and punching speed were quite fast, but they were just quite fast. When the opponent came in front of him, he took a step forward with his right foot and slapped him directly with the Wind and Cloud Palm.

“It’s this palm!”

Seeing Lin Chen clapping his hands, several fist shadows suddenly appeared on Ye Feng's fist. On the Martial Arts Mountain, he was always slapped away by Lin Chen, so he naturally would not take it lightly this time.

"My own Jade Power can help my brother's boxing skills change quickly. Most opponents will choose to dodge before they can figure out the real situation, but Lin Chen didn't dodge. This shows that he has enough confidence in his own strength. He must have practiced some kind of horizontal training kung fu."

Seeing that Lin Chen did not dodge at all, Ye Jie made a judgment in his mind. However, he thought that even if he practiced horizontal kung fu, he would be at a disadvantage when facing his own Qingyu Jin.

His own Qingyu Power is slightly different from the power of general martial arts. It can be divided into dozens of forces in an instant, which is exactly the nemesis of horizontal training kung fu.

boom!
Ye Feng's fist landed on Lin Chen's shoulder first. Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, with a look of surprise in his eyes. He was not surprised by the power of Ye Feng's punch. On the contrary, he felt that Ye Feng's punch was a little weak.

With this punching power, can he really fight with me for a hundred moves?
Although doubts arose in his mind, Lin Chen's hands did not slow down at all. The next moment after Ye Feng's fist landed on his shoulder, Lin Chen's right hand's Fengyun Palm hit Ye Feng's arm at a tricky angle, as precise as an antelope hanging on a horn.

With this palm strike, Ye Feng felt as if his entire arm was shattered, and the jade power circulating in his arm dissipated instantly.

With one palm strike, Ye Feng was caused to stagger to one side for several steps, and his entire right arm fell down, but there was excitement on Ye Feng's face.

He guessed right, there was indeed a problem at Wudao Mountain.

Lin Chen's strength is much weaker than Liuying on Wudao Mountain.

If it was at Martial Arts Mountain, Lin Chen's palm would be enough to knock him away.

"This gap... my brother said it was a close defeat..."

Ye Jie, who was watching the fight, was a martial artist, and her eyes were full of thought. Her younger brother said that he was narrowly defeated by Lin Chen on the Martial Arts Mountain, but now, after just fighting, one of his arms was crippled by Lin Chen. This was not a narrow defeat, but a miserable defeat!
"breeze……"

Ye Jie shook her head speechlessly. She already understood that her brother lied for the sake of face.

"Although the power of Ye Feng's boxing is weak, the power it releases is quite subtle. It can resist the counterattack of my Zhenyue Pu."

After practicing Zhenyue Pu to the second level, Lin Chen could bluntly say that for a martial artist below the level of practicing Zang, a punch or a palm strike on himself is equivalent to hitting himself half a punch or half a palm strike.

The more ruthless the attack, the more serious the injury to yourself.

However, when Ye Feng's fist force landed on him, it did not cause explosive damage instantly. Instead, it split into dozens of fist forces in an instant. If it were not for his strong blood and energy, his blood and energy would probably have been stirred up by these dozens of fist forces.

It seems that even if he has cultivated the Zhenyue Pu to the second level, it does not mean that there are no warriors at the same level who can break his defense.

There are many warriors in Daliang, and their skills are countless, and there are always some special ones.

Don’t underestimate the heroes of the world!
Next, Lin Chen didn't wait for Ye Feng to recover, he rushed to Ye Feng like a gust of wind, and slapped out with his Wind and Cloud Palm, with bursts of thunderous sounds!

boom!
After ten moves, Ye Feng's body crashed into the pine tree behind him, and the leaves fell down. He was no longer able to fight.

"I surrender!"

Ye Feng admitted defeat decisively. If he didn't, the result would be the same as what happened at Wudao Mountain, where he would be knocked unconscious by Lin Chen.

Although this guy is not as fierce as he was in Martial Arts Mountain, he is definitely not someone he can deal with.

"Xiao Feng, you are not being honest. Is this what you call a narrow defeat?"

Ye Jie took out a jade bottle from her bosom and threw it to her brother: "I'm afraid that you can't even take three moves from Junior Brother Lin on the Martial Arts Mountain."

The genius on the martial arts mountain will never show mercy when he attacks, and he will go all out from the very first move. However, in real life, the opponent will not go all out right from the start, especially when sparring with a stranger, they will first test and find out the opponent's strength.

Lin Chen did not go all out at the beginning, otherwise his brother would only be able to last three moves at most.

"Three moves, sister, you think too highly of me. To tell you the truth, I fought with Senior Brother Lin at Wudao Mountain. Every time Senior Brother Lin appeared, he would slap me away with one palm."

After being exposed by his elder sister, Ye Feng no longer concealed the truth and told it to her.

Ye Jie: ...

Lin Chen: …

He was knocked away with just one move. Where does he get the courage to challenge?

Ye Feng swallowed the pill in the bottle, looked at Lin Chen and his elder sister with strange eyes, and said embarrassedly: "I just find it a little unacceptable. No matter how strong Senior Brother Lin is, he can't defeat me with one move. I suspected that there was something wrong with Wudao Mountain, so I thought of challenging Senior Brother Lin in person. Now it seems that there is no problem with Wudao Mountain."

The corner of Lin Chen's mouth twitched, and he understood what Ye Feng meant.

The person in Wudao Mountain is too strong, so strong that Ye Feng begins to doubt whether there is a bug in Wudao Mountain.

"Brother Lin, to be honest, you are indeed very strong, but I feel that you are still a little inferior to you in Wudao Mountain."

Ye Feng scratched his head and looked at Lin Chen with some confusion.

"That's because Junior Brother Lin didn't use his full strength against you."

Ye Jie glared at her brother unhappily. Wudao Mountain had existed for so many years, how could there be any problems? If she had known this situation, she would never have accompanied her brother to Jiangnan Road to embarrass herself.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It may be because your strength has improved, Junior Brother Ye."

It’s not that I’m weak, it’s that your strength has improved.

Lin Chen's answer made Ye Feng chuckle. Indeed, his strength had improved a bit, and he was about to break through to the twentieth level of enlightenment.

"Still grinning foolishly here, Junior Brother Lin, you don't have to comfort this fool. If I'm not mistaken, Junior Brother Lin, are you wearing the reverse scale armor?"

Ye Jie stared at Lin Chen with her beautiful eyes. Just now, the wind from her brother's fist blew the corner of Lin Chen's clothes, allowing her to see a corner of the scales inside.

"Ah."

Now that he was discovered, Lin Chen no longer hid it and admitted it generously.

"What is reverse scale armor?" Ye Feng looked confused, not understanding what his elder sister meant.

"The Reverse Scale Armor is the best armor for warriors below the entry level. It can reduce 70% of the opponent's strength."

"Seventy percent?"

Ye Feng was shocked. There was such a good thing. Why had he never seen it before?
"Don't be surprised. The Reverse Scale Armor weighs tens of thousands of pounds, mainly on the chest and back. If you put it on, you will have a hard time even breathing, let alone fighting the enemy."

Ye Jie's eyes sparkled: "Junior Brother Lin attacked you, but I'm afraid he didn't even use 30% of his strength."

After saying this, Ye Jie herself felt it was a little unbelievable. With less than 30% of her strength, she was able to beat her own brother without any chance of fighting back. If she took off her reverse scale armor, how strong would she be?

The state of awakening, is there really anyone who can cultivate to this level?
"Less than 30%, what a monster!"

Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaimed. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: those in the capital and other provinces who wanted to leave their names in Wudao Mountain would be slaughtered by Lin Chen.

Lin Chen is likely to break the highest record of Wudao Mountain!

Thinking of the scene where Lin Chen slaughtered those guys in Wudao Mountain, Ye Feng couldn't help laughing. These guys had written to him not long ago, nominally to comfort him, but actually to mock him...

Just wait, he'll have a chance to taunt back!
These people must die!
