Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 216 Happy Ascension Post (Subscription Request)
Bafang City, Bafang Tower.

A high-end restaurant in Bafang City.

At this moment, a quarter of an hour had passed since the provocative battle between Kameda Rei and the other two at the city gate.

The crowd at the city gate dispersed, but the news of the battle began to spread in Bafang City along with the discussions of the young onlookers as they entered the city.

"Junior Brother Lin, you really made Daliang proud."

When the food and wine were served, Qu Feng spoke with a smile. There were not many people at their table. Except for him who represented Canglan Martial Arts Academy to welcome Lin Chen, the rest of the martial arts academy disciples did not come.

In addition to Lin Chen and Qu Feng, there are Ye Feng, Shen Ze and five others.

Xiao Yaojin did not participate and left on his own after the battle.

As for Kameda Rei and the other two, after they fainted, they were carried away by a middle-aged man from Zheng State.

After all, they are from the eight major families of Zheng State. When they come to Liang State, they must be protected by top-level masters.

"Thanks to Junior Brother Xiao, I was able to figure out the opponent's strength." Lin Chen said modestly.

But after he said this, Qu Feng and Ye Feng beside him all had strange expressions. With your strength, do you still need others to help you figure it out?
"Brother Lin...you are so modest!"

Finally, Ye Feng managed to utter these words after holding it in for a long time.

Because of the presence of Ye Feng and others, Qu Feng did not just chat with Lin Chen. He also asked Ye Feng and others some questions. Only then did Lin Chen know that except Ye Feng, the other four were from the capital.

Only then did I realize that because of him, many geniuses who would not have originally chosen Canglan Martial Academy chose Canglan Martial Academy this time.

"Lin Chen, you don't know that when you left your name on Wudao Mountain seven times, Instructor Liu's face was full of smiles. When the instructors from the martial arts academy went to various places to recruit disciples, they would always talk about the fact that you left your name seven times. Many geniuses who were originally planning to join other martial arts academies changed their minds in the end."

Anyway, everyone present was going to join the Martial Arts Academy and become its disciples, so Qu Feng did not hide anything and directly told them about some of the academy's magical operations.

Use Lin Chen as a signboard to attract other talents to join the martial arts academy.

But this alone was not enough for Qu Feng to bring it up at the dinner table.

"Instructor Liu told me personally that the instructors who went out to recruit disciples prepared two sets of excuses. The first was to use you, Lin Chen, as their signature. Since even you, Lin Chen, chose Canglan Martial Academy, it means that Canglan Martial Academy is no worse than the other three martial arts academies, which makes these geniuses excited."

"This is the first set of words. If these geniuses are not moved, then we will change to the second set of words."

"Lin Chen, who has left his name on Wudao Mountain seven times, is a role model for Daliang martial arts students, and is recognized as an invincible person in the Kaiqiao realm. Don't you want to defeat him?"

"As long as you join Canglan Martial Academy, you will have this opportunity!"

"There's no chance in the Awakening Realm, but that may not be the case in the Refining Zang Realm. Lin Chen is only invincible in the Awakening Realm, not in the Refining Zang Realm."

"Will it be the same when the martial arts academy competes in the future? How can it be the same? The world will only remember the first person who defeated Lin Chen, not the second or third..."

……

……

Lin Chen: …

This is using your own value to the extreme.

He suddenly felt that the thirty drops of dragon blood he collected seemed to be too little.

"It's good that you defeated Kameda Rei and the other two this time. If the news gets out, I think it will save you a lot of trouble."

Qu Feng blinked, and everyone present understood what he meant.

If there had not been today's battle, when Lin Chen arrived at Canglan Martial Arts Academy, all the geniuses who came here to defeat Lin Chen would have challenged him.

But after tonight's battle, these people will have to consider whether they have the strength to do so.

After having enough wine and food, Qu Feng burped and said, "Banfang City is very prosperous. I'll take you brothers to see the excitement?"

Hearing Qu Feng's words, Ye Feng and the other three laughed, and the only woman, Peng Jingqi, did not object.

"Junior Brother Lin, do you have anything else to do?"

Seeing that Lin Chen did not respond, Qu Feng asked curiously.

"I'm just afraid that it will have a bad impact. After all, many people saw me when I entered the city. If they found out that I went there, it would attract criticism."

Lin Chen knew what the activities would be after eating and drinking, and the looks from Ye Feng and the others told him the result.

He is a role model of Daliang martial arts students and has just experienced a battle. If he appears in this romantic place at this time, it will probably cause discussion among others.

Lin Chen was not afraid of what others would say, but he was now under the spotlight, and his every move was closely watched. Senior Sister Jiang had arrived at Canglan Martial Academy one step ahead of him. What if Senior Sister Jiang heard about it...

He couldn't let Senior Sister Jiang down, unless... it was a private matter.
"Criticism?"

Qu Feng was very confused: "What's the problem with going to the Martial Arts Palace?"

Lin Chen:? ? ?
……

……

Bafang City, Martial Arts Palace.

Lin Chen stood in front of the Martial Arts Palace with a hint of emotion on his face.

"Junior Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

Qu Feng saw Lin Chen stop and asked curiously.

"There is no martial arts palace in Jiangnan Road!"

After these words were spoken, Qu Feng and the others fell silent.

"It's okay, I'm just expressing my feelings. Senior Brother Qu, let's go in."

Lin Chen quickly calmed down. On the way here, he already knew what the Martial Arts Palace was.

The Martial Arts Palace is a place for young martial artists to learn.

But different from the Wuyuan in Poyang County, the Wudao Palace was built by local government offices and is divided into two parts: an area for awakened warriors and below, and an area for training internal organs.

Once the mind is awakened, everyone, including young people who have never learned martial arts, can enter, where they will be taught some basic knowledge of martial arts, including rare bird meat, and knowledge of human qi and blood.

In this way, the young men can learn a lot of common sense about martial arts before entering the martial arts hall.

Even if he is training in a martial arts hall, he can understand it faster than a young man who has never been exposed to martial arts.

Although Daliang stipulates that one must be fifteen years old to enter the martial arts hall, many young men already know some boxing techniques before the age of fifteen. After entering the martial arts hall, they can start practicing qigong without much instruction.

The Jiangnan Dao practices the Nuan Yang Fist, while the Tōkaidō Martial Arts Hall teaches a variety of techniques.

Every student can choose a boxing or palm technique that he or she is good at to practice based on his or her previous understanding of martial arts at the Martial Arts Palace.

Almost everyone who enters the martial arts hall can cultivate their vital energy.

From Ye Feng and others, they became very familiar with the Martial Arts Palace, as if every industry should have one.

Standing in front of the Wudao Palace, Lin Chen recalled an article he had read on the Internet in his previous life: It takes Xiao Ming six minutes to get to the Children's Palace from his home, but it took me twenty years to enter the Children's Palace for the first time.

When he first saw this sentence on the Internet, he subconsciously clicked on the search bar: What is the Children's Palace like?

That year, he was already twenty-six years old.

It is said that Jiangnan Dao is poor and that Jiangnan Dao is at the bottom in terms of martial arts. Before this, Lin Chen actually did not have a very deep concept of this. Especially when he was able to leave his name on the Martial Arts Mountain and compete for rankings with the geniuses of the entire Daliang, his concept of poverty became a little vague.

I just think that Jiangnan Road is worse than other roads, but I think it is not much different. Lord Su, Lord Bu and the teacher cried poor in front of Lord Kong just to get more resources for Jiangnan Road.

But now it seems that Jiangnan Road is really poor.

The mainstream Pailang Palm of the Tōkaidō Martial Arts Hall is more powerful than the Nuan Yang Fist. A young man who has cultivated the same energy and practices Pailang Palm will be much stronger than the Nuan Yang Fist.

Is it that Jiangnan Dao has no other more powerful Qigong methods?
No!

Just because the cost of practicing Nuan Yang Fist is the lowest!
The students of Jiangnan Daowu Hall only seek to develop their vital energy rather than to achieve stronger vital energy.

……

……

The second area of the Martial Arts Palace.

Only open to those who practice dirty martial arts.

"I won't go to the training grounds. Several of my junior brothers don't think highly of them. We also have some in the martial arts academy."

Qu Feng brought Lin Chen and others to a market-like place, which was extremely lively.

"The Martial Arts Palace has opened a trading market for us martial artists. If you have any good stuff, you can sell it here, including some elixirs and medicinal herbs. The prices are much cheaper than those in the shops outside. But if you are not sure, don't buy it easily. The rule here is that you cannot regret after the transaction."

"Brother Qu, we know the rules. Transactions in the Martial Arts Palace are all about eyesight. If you buy a fake because of poor eyesight, you can only say that you have poor eyesight."

Ye Feng chuckled, he was already a little impatient.

"Besides the fact that you cannot return or exchange something after you have bought it, if you and someone else like the same thing, it will be decided on a first-come, first-served basis. You have to wait until the person in front of you has finished the transaction with the stall owner before you can move forward."

Shen Ze added a sentence from the side, which was mainly spoken to Lin Chen.

All of them understood the rules of the Martial Arts Palace, and the meaning of Senior Brother Lin's words just now was very clear. There was no Martial Arts Palace in Jiangnan Road, so naturally they didn't know these rules. Senior Brother Qu's introduction just now was also for Senior Brother Lin to hear. Only Ye Feng hadn't reacted yet.

Listening to these rules, Lin Chen inexplicably thought of the antique street in his previous life. These rules are somewhat similar to the antique street.

But he was curious, given Ye Feng's family background, what else could the Lianzang Realm have that could attract them? What could make them so excited?
"Brother Lin, ordinary things are naturally not worth our attention. However, there are some rare things in this kind of market. Even the sellers don't know what the use of these things is. They are either sold at a low price or a high price. Anyway, it depends on the eyesight of both parties."

Peng Jingqi saw Lin Chen's confusion and explained.

Lin Chen nodded, and understood in his heart that Ye Feng and others came from wealthy families and naturally had a wide range of knowledge. Compared with the seller, they were better able to judge whether a strange item was valuable based on its appearance or smell.

As for those sellers who have weird things that they are not sure about, they don’t choose to go to some shops to ask, probably because they are afraid of being ripped off by the shops. In this case, they simply put them on the market and mark a high price to see if there will be any suckers.

Ye Feng and others may not necessarily want to find good things at the market, but they are more likely to enjoy the pleasure of finding a bargain.

"Junior Brother Lin, put on the hood. If you are recognized, they might ask for an exorbitant price when they see you."

Qu Feng picked up a few bamboo hats with veils from the entrance of the market. Lin Chen took one and put it on his head, just enough to cover his face.

After everyone put on their veils, they headed straight for the market.

"Everyone go shopping separately. If there's anything you like but are unsure about, we can discuss it later."

"Row!"

The market is not a road but a square. Many stall owners find a location and set up a stall with burlap. There will be a space between two stalls for three to five people to pass through.

Lin Chen and Ye Feng separated and walked towards one of the areas at random. Their eyes under the veil quickly scanned the dazzling array of goods on the stalls.

Medicinal materials, elixirs, broken weapons, various yellowed animal skin scrolls, and even some incomplete secret manuals...

However, Lin Chen did not try it out. Firstly, he had no advantage in this regard and could not prove the truth. He looked up at the others. Ye Feng was holding a uniquely shaped hourglass in his hand and talking to the stall owner.

Found something good so quickly?

Although Lin Chen was somewhat curious about what Ye Feng saw in the hourglass, he did not go over and continued to stroll around.

When I walked to the sixth stall, I stopped.

The owner of the stall was a man in his thirties. There were not many items on the stall. Compared with other stall owners who almost filled their stalls with goods, this one had very few items.

It is impossible for one person to have so many rare things to sell.

Lin Chen was very clear about this. Those stalls filled with a variety of goods were probably owned by professional stall owners.

It is almost impossible to get good stuff from professional stall owners. These professional stall owners mostly take advantage of the warriors who come here hoping to pick up bargains, and then take the opportunity to trick them into selling the worthless items at high prices.

Those who only have a few items look like they are actually here to sell things.

Of course, there is also a possibility that the stall owner deliberately did the opposite to make buyers let down their guard.

"Stadium owner, what is this?"

Lin Chen learned the rules of conversation between buyers and sellers during this journey. He would squat down first. As long as he squatted down in front of the stall, other people would not come to this stall.

"If I knew what it was, I wouldn't be selling it."

Lin Chen: …

This is indeed the case.

"Can I take a look?"

"Yes, but you can only read the first page. You can't read on. What I can tell you is that there are words on every page of this book."

Lin Chen nodded and picked up a yellowed book in front of the stall.

The reason why he was attracted to this book was because of the words on the cover.

Happy Ascension Post

This name is extremely imaginative!
But what attracted Lin Chen was not the words, or to be more precise, not the content of the words, but the handwriting.

When he saw the handwriting of these five words for the first time, he was attracted.

Just one look at it made me feel a little happy.

Picking up the book, Lin Chen opened it to the first page.

【Life is full of suffering, so enjoy life while you can...】

The first page has a total of fifteen words, titled "Pian of Pleasure".

Although the name is very suggestive, the content is very serious.

【Looking at flowers can dispel anger, and listening to the rain can help you forget worries. 】

【Drink the dew of the three mountains, and sleep drunk on a boat on the five lakes. 】

【The mind rises up and moves the clouds, the heart is clear and free. 】

In my previous life, I would have been accused of selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton. I have taken off my pants, and you show me this?
Lin Chen sighed in his heart, but did not read any more. Instead, he looked directly at the stall owner: "How much?"

"One thousand taels!"

Lin Chen: …

PS: It’s the middle of the month, can I ask for a monthly ticket?
