Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 214 Jiangnan Road Everyone Knows Lin Chen Has a Good Eye
The three people at the city gate were dressed in clothes that were obviously different from the other people present.

The three men's brocade robes were engraved with some kind of beast totem, which looked like a wolf but was not a wolf. On their chests were the long and sharp fangs of some beast.

“This is a man from Zheng.”

Qu Feng whispered in Lin Chen's ear: "In name, the martial arts academy belongs to all nine countries. All young warriors from the nine countries can come to participate in the assessment as long as they meet the requirements. However, except for Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, there are very few warriors from other countries in the other three martial arts academies."

After hearing what Senior Brother Qu said, Lin Chen understood that these three people were coming for him.

As for the reason, it was because he had obtained the model of Daliang martial arts students, and as long as he was defeated, it would be like a slap in the face of the Daliang warriors.

"Who are you!"

Before Lin Chen could open his mouth, other young men from Daliang began to question them, looking at the three men with unfriendly eyes.

"The three of us are from Zheng State. We are just unknown people in Zheng State. You wouldn't know our names even if I told you. We are here to participate in the Canglan Martial Arts Academy's disciple assessment. But since you Daliang has produced a martial arts genius, can you let the three of us see him? I think the martial arts genius of Daliang is definitely extraordinary."

The man on the opposite left smiled and spoke. When he mentioned the word "Zheng State", the faces of the young men from Daliang at the scene all darkened.

There were many open and covert struggles among the nine countries.

The conflict between Daliang and Zheng was the most serious, and there were many fights between the warriors of the two countries.

Things were still okay before the incident of the demon clan was exposed. But as the court announced the incident of the demon clan to the world, the hatred of the young people in Daliang towards Zheng State deepened.

Because most of the monsters in Daliang fled to Zheng State.

"It's fine if you don't want to spar with me. After all, the three of us are unknown people in Zheng State. We are not worthy of being a model for Daliang martial arts students to fight against. It is understandable."

The man in the middle also took over the conversation and looked at Lin Chen with a smile: "It doesn't matter to the three of us, but I'm afraid that if it gets out, people will say that Daliang martial arts student model is a person who seeks fame and reputation and does not live up to his reputation."

Every word is insignificant, yet every word is full of thorns.

"You are right. If I am the model of Daliang martial arts students, and everyone can challenge me for a fight, then Senior Brother Lin doesn't need to practice. If you want to challenge Senior Brother Lin, you have to get past me first."

Ye Feng stood up and said to Lin Chen: "Brother Lin, let me test the background of these three people."

As someone who has the opportunity to leave his name in Wudao Mountain, Ye Feng is still somewhat confident in his own strength. There may be some gap compared to Senior Brother Lin, but he is not afraid of others at all.

Qu Feng on the side was about to speak, but hesitated after hearing Ye Feng's words. It was obvious that the three people from Zheng State were here to cause trouble. If they really ignored them, all kinds of rumors would definitely spread, and it might even be said that Junior Brother Lin was afraid of the warriors from Zheng State.

Since Junior Brother Ye only lost to Junior Brother Lin with one move, there is no need to say much about his strength, so it is most appropriate for him to take the stage.

"If you guys want to spar with me, you have to tell me your origins. If you have practiced martial arts for several years, wouldn't that be an advantage?"

Although he wanted to let Ye Feng test the other party, Qu Feng still asked.

"Brother Qu's words reminded me that the people of Zheng are used to being shameless. Maybe they have been practicing in the Lianzang realm for several years. They came here to challenge Brother Lin. This is something that people from Zheng can really do."

"It's not uncommon for people from Zheng to do anything."

Several disciples of Canglan Martial Academy also echoed this. The other people present might not have much dealings with the warriors of Zheng State, but as disciples of Canglan Martial Academy, they had dealt with many disciples of several martial arts academies in Zheng State, and they knew very well the character of the people of Zheng State.

"It hasn't been more than three months since the three of us broke through the internal organs training. If you don't believe me, we three can swear on it!" The leading man from Zheng State stared at the disciples of Canglan Martial Arts Academy with an angry face.

"No more than three months."

A voice sounded from behind the crowd.

A young man walked out slowly, and many onlookers made way for him. The young man glanced coldly at Zheng Guo and the other two.
"Kameda Retsu, the second son of the Kameda family, entered the training camp two months and twenty days ago."

"Gong Xing, the illegitimate son of the current head of the Gong family, entered the training camp two months and twenty-five days ago."

"Kiyoshi Watanabe, the youngest son of the Shimizu family, entered Renzo two months and twenty-nine days ago."

Wow!
As soon as the young man said this, all the Daliang warriors watching at the scene burst into an uproar.

"How shameless! No wonder they said it was no more than three months."

"If Senior Brother Lin comes again tomorrow, won't he have to say that it has not been more than four months?"

"What are you thinking? The people of Zheng are so shameless that they can only say that I, Qing Watanabe, have just been three months old, and the other two are less than three months old."

"That makes sense. Brother, what does your family do? Why do you know so much about the people of Zheng?"

"I am not talented. My family runs a butcher's stall. I don't understand the people of Zheng, but I understand those animals."

The boys from Daliang cursed very badly, and Kameda Rei and the other two were so angry that their faces turned red. The three of them stared at the boy who exposed their background.

"who are you?"

"Xiao Huo!"

Xiao Yaojin spoke calmly. He did not intend to use his real name when he came to Canglan Martial Academy this time. The news that Young Marquis Zhenbei did not go to Zhanyao Martial Academy but came to Canglan Martial Academy would have a considerable impact if it got out.

"Are you Junior Brother Xiao?"

When Qu Feng heard what Xiao Yaojin said, there was a look of surprise on his face. He looked at the list of disciples for this session given by the instructor.

Except for Junior Brother Lin and a few others who received the disciple letter from the Martial Academy and became disciples of the Martial Academy directly, the others, after reaching the level of practicing Zang, can only go through assessments. Even if they have extremely high talent and potential, they can only follow the rules.

But this Junior Brother Xiao Huo, who was also at the Lian Zang realm, did not need to take any tests and directly became a disciple of the Martial Academy.

He asked the instructor about the background of this Junior Brother Xiao, but the instructor ignored him and just told him that he was someone who could not be offended.

In Daliang, he couldn't afford to offend anyone with the surname Xiao, so he could only think of one family, the Xiao family of Zhenbeihou in the northern border.

But it is impossible for the children of the Xiao family to come to Canglan Martial Arts Academy. The Demon-Slaying Martial Arts Academy was established by Marquis Zhenbei, and the children of the Xiao family will only join the Demon-Slaying Martial Arts Academy.

"Xiao Huo?"

Kameda Rei and the other two looked at each other; they had never heard of this name.

Lin Chen also looked at Xiao Huo at this moment. Although he had no hostility towards him, he was the first one who brought him pressure just by standing here.

This person's strength is probably not inferior to mine.

"Brother Lin, since Zheng Guo wants to see the martial arts genius of Daliang, why don't I, your junior brother, test him for you first?"

Xiao Yaojin looked at Lin Chen and spoke. He naturally knew about the Ye family in Guixi Road, but Ye Feng's strength was still a little inferior to these three people. Kameda Lie and the other two came to Bafang City this time, they were well prepared, and they came to target Lin Chen.

The families these three people belong to are among the eight major families in Zheng State, and their strength should not be underestimated.

As a young marquis, Xiao Yaojin has access to a lot of information from the high-ranking officials of the court. This time when Daliang announced the matter of the demon clan, Zheng State reacted very strongly and even threatened to go to war with Daliang. The two sides have already begun to confront each other on the border.

When he arrived at Bafang City the day before yesterday, he noticed these three people. Even though they were wearing overalls at the time, the pendants around their necks still exposed their identities. For this reason, he immediately asked his men who followed them to investigate the origins and purposes of these three people.

Their origins were investigated, but their purpose was not. After these three people arrived in Bafang City and checked into the inn, they never came out. It was not until the people below said that Lin Chen entered the dock that he realized that Kameda Rei and the other two were coming for Lin Chen.

"Since this junior brother wants to do it, then we two will each pick one. If they want to challenge Lin Chen, they have to defeat us first."

Ye Feng saw that Xiao Yaojin looked younger than himself, so he called him "Junior Brother". Xiao Yaojin frowned. He called Lin Chen "Junior Brother" because he didn't want to give Guitian Lie and the other two a chance to embarrass Da Liang, but it didn't mean that he really recognized Lin Chen.

Even though Lin Chen has left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain seven times and is invincible in the Awakening Realm, it does not mean that he can do so when he enters the Organ Training Realm. Kameda Lie and the other two are well prepared. If Lin Chen loses, Daliang will lose all face.

Unless Lin Chen can defeat him, he will truly acknowledge Lin Chen as his senior brother.

As for Ye Feng...

"No, they have to get past me first."

Xiao Yaojin was very determined and directly rejected Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was stunned. Lin Chen patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and said, "This Junior Brother Xiao is not inferior to me in strength."

"Really?"

When Ye Feng heard this, he looked at Xiao Yaojin with inquiry and disbelief. He knew very well how strong Lin Chen was. He could slap him away with just one slap. If this guy's strength was equal to Lin Chen's, wouldn't he be another pervert?
"Could it be that the Martial Academy made an exception and allowed Junior Brother Xiao to become a disciple because Junior Brother Xiao is a genius at the same level as Junior Brother Lin?"

Qu Feng's eyes also gleamed as he looked at Lin Chen: "Junior Brother Lin knows Junior Brother Xiao."

"I don't know him, but I can feel that this Junior Brother Xiao is definitely not inferior to me in strength."

Lin Chen answered seriously. Everyone present looked at Xiao Yaojin with inquiry. Xiao Yaojin had his back to them, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised with a hint of arc.

He heard what Lin Chen said. Although he did not yet acknowledge Lin Chen's status as his senior brother, his favorable impression of Lin Chen increased a little. He did have some vision.

Among the crowd of onlookers, a young man was whispering, "Why do Lin Chen's words sound so familiar?"

Jiang Guang was also a Jiangnan Taoist, and he also came from Raozhou Prefecture. The difference was that he was one year earlier than Lin Chen. However, after Lin Chen became a model student of Jiangnan Taoism, he went to ask some of his fellow disciples about Lin Chen's deeds.

It seemed that one of his junior brothers had mentioned this sentence at that time, and it was also related to Lin Chen. However, he was shocked by Lin Chen's achievements at that time, and he did not remember some of the words that his junior brothers said. He just vaguely felt that the junior brother at that time also said such words.

As for why I say that, I don’t know.

"I see!"

Jiang Guang suddenly slapped his thigh, and his action immediately aroused the curiosity of several warriors around him: "Brother, what do you understand?"

"I am also from Jiangnan Dao. When Lin Chen won the title of Jiangnan Dao student model, I went to inquire about Lin Chen's situation. From what I know, Lin Chen is not only extremely powerful, but also has a good eye. He can tell whether the opponent's strength is inferior to his own with just a few glances."

"so smart?"

"of course."

Jiang Guang looked confident. He felt that his guess was correct. Especially at this moment when many people were staring at him, he could not afford to show any weakness.

"This is a well-known fact in Jiangnan Road. You can find out by just asking around in Jiangnan Road."

In order to prove that what he said was true, Jiang Guang added another sentence, with a look of certainty on his face.

"It seems that Xiao Huo is quite powerful."

"This time Canglan Martial Academy is going to take off."

Those who can come to Bafang City are either from Donghai Xingdao or from the Xingdao next to Donghai Xingdao. They have a better impression of Canglan Martial Academy than the other three martial arts academies. This time, Canglan Martial Academy has recruited Lin Chen, and now there is another one whose strength is not inferior to Lin Chen. I am afraid that Canglan Martial Academy's ranking will rise again this time.

Even though these people don't know how the martial arts academies are ranked and how to move up, this doesn't stop them from looking forward to it.

"I want to see how capable you are to stand up for others!"

Kameda Lie and the other two looked at each other, and finally Gong Xing stepped forward, his sharp eyes falling on Xiao Yaojin.

The three of them came well prepared this time, having broken through to the Lianzang stage more than two months in advance. They had thought that even if Lin Chen was very strong, it would only take him a few days to break through to the Lianzang stage, and he would never be their opponent. However, they did not expect to encounter someone who would spoil the situation.

But it’s better this way. If we defeat the man in front of us and then defeat Lin Chen, Daliang will have nothing to say.

call out!
Xiao Yaojin didn't say much nonsense. As soon as Gong Xing and his eyes met, he moved. His figure was as fast as lightning, and Gong Xing was not slow either. The two figures collided quickly.

Many enlightened warriors could not even see the figures of the two people clearly. They just saw the two figures constantly colliding and separating, while the man from Zheng State was retreating step by step. Just this scene made them excited.

They in Daliang have the upper hand.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Junior Brother Xiao used his fist, but he felt a spear intent from the opponent's fist. He had this feeling when he faced Senior Pei on the Martial Arts Mountain, but Senior Pei turned it into sword intent.

Junior Brother Xiao, his entire body is like a spear, his figure is like a dragon, and he is extremely sharp.

On the third floor of the inn not far from the pier, the girl saw the entire battle through the window.

"The fist carries the spirit of a spear. Could he be a descendant of the Daliang Zhenbei Marquis family? But the Xiao family has only one heir for three generations..."

The next moment, as if she had thought of something, the girl's eyes revealed a hint of interest: "I didn't expect that the dignified young Marquis of Zhenbei would come to Canglan Martial Academy under an alias."

Kameda Rei and Qing Watanabe looked very ugly when they saw Gong Xing retreating continuously. This person actually forced Gong Xing to the point where he could only resist. When did such a strange martial arts genius appear in Daliang?
"Gong Xing, don't hold back."

If we hold back any longer, we will lose.

Kameda Retsu gave a reminder, and the next moment everyone at the scene heard an inhuman roar coming from Gong Xing's mouth. Gong Xing's clothes were torn, and blood was oozing from his exposed skin.

"Oh no, this person has demon blood in his body!" Qu Feng's expression became solemn when he saw this scene.

"Go to hell."

Gong Xing roared, and his speed increased rapidly, pouncing towards Xiao Yaojin like a ferocious beast.

"Borrowing the power of a beast, he is still just a beast."

Xiao Yaojin's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it. He swung out with his right fist without any fancy moves. The moment Xiao Yaojin swung out his fist, Lin Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. This punch was so powerful!
The fist is like a gun tip, indestructible!
boom!
Gong Xing’s figure fell directly several feet away.

All the young warriors who were watching were shocked for a moment, then burst into cheers.

"waste!"

"This Senior Brother Xiao is right. A beast is still a beast. No matter how it changes, it will be useless."

Xiao Yaojin retracted his right hand under his sleeve, and no one noticed that there was a blood mark on the surface of his fist.

Kameda Retsu and Kiyo Watanabe had gloomy faces. They didn't expect that even after Gong Xing used the blood of the demon clan and his strength increased by 30%, he was still defeated.

"Okay, I'll come meet you!"

Kameda Lie walked out, staring fiercely at Xiao Yaojin. Xiao Yaojin said calmly, "I'm at your service anytime."

Although his hand was slightly injured, he would certainly not show weakness.

Lin Chen noticed that Xiao Yaojin put his hands back into his sleeves, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a while, he said, "Junior Brother Xiao, you have already defeated one, so you should give me a chance to show off. You can't take all the limelight by yourself."
