Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 236 To win, you must win completely (Please subscribe)

On stage, Lin Chen's action of unbuttoning his shirt drew everyone's attention.

No one knew what Lin Chen was going to do, but the moment Lin Chen took off his outer clothes, revealing his inner garments, the scene erupted in gasps.

"Reverse Scale Armor!"

"It's actually the Reverse Scale Armor!"

Many martial artists stared intently at Lin Chen, some unable to believe what they were seeing.

What is the Reverse Scale Armor?

A young martial artist, unaware of what the Reverse Scale Armor was, couldn't help but ask.

"The Reverse Scale Armor is made of special ice silkworm silk. Wearing it can withstand the attacks of even a rank-one martial artist."

"So, the reason Lin Chen was able to hold his own against Hu Bing in a physical confrontation was because of the Reverse Scale Armor?"

Upon hearing this, the martial artist who had just spoken up glanced at the other party: "The Reverse Scale Armor is extremely thin, but when worn, it weighs over ten thousand pounds. Moreover, the Reverse Scale Armor is mainly capable of dissipating the special energy of a rank-one martial artist."

"If I put on a suit of armor weighing ten thousand pounds, do you think you could still fight others?"

The boy fell silent in response to this question.

Let alone fighting, even taking a step is difficult.

"Lin Chen was actually fighting Hu Bing while wearing the Reverse Scale Armor, and he didn't even unleash his full strength."

The Liang warriors present were filled with excitement!

Even while wearing the Reverse Scale Armor, Lin Chen was able to overpower Hu Bing. Now that he has taken off the armor, Lin Chen is free from restraint and can unleash his full power. What can Hu Bing use to defend against him?

"So, he had this trick up his sleeve."

Murong Yan's beautiful eyes shone brightly; even she hadn't expected that Lin Chen was wearing the Reverse Scale Armor.

"Young master, I have lost this bet."

Su Qin's expression was complicated. As a martial artist of the first rank, she had her own pride. She was dissatisfied with the princess's high regard for Lin Chen and her tolerance of some of Lin Chen's rudeness.

In her view, the martial arts geniuses of the Great Liang Dynasty have never been the strongest among the nine kingdoms. This was true for Pei Qingming back then, and it is also true for Lin Chen now.

The princess has absolutely no need to focus her attention on Lin Chen; the geniuses from the other countries all have more potential than Lin Chen.

But now she realizes she was wrong, terribly wrong.

Lin Chen is a rough gem, and a rough gem with infinite potential.

I am not as discerning as the princess.

……

"Good boy!"

Hao Jifeng once again blurted out "Good boy!" Lin Chen had given him too many surprises this time.

Santo, standing to the side, looked quite grim. After Hu Bing's latest breakthrough, he was confident that Lin Chen would not be able to compete with Hu Bing in terms of physical strength this time.

Lin Chen dared not continue to fight head-on. Even though Hu Bing was unable to maintain the Divine Elephant Body technique and was defeated by Lin Chen after the Divine Elephant Body technique ended, the Pilgrimage Martial Academy had some explanations when talking about this battle.

Lin Chen dared not confront Hu Bing head-on, so he could only rely on using time to win through underhanded means.

However, Lin Chen's actions have shattered his plans.

If Hu Bing, who has reached his limit of improvement, still loses to Lin Chen, the Chaosheng Martial Academy will have no excuse to refute him, and it will be a complete defeat.

Santo's discomfort was precisely what Lin Chen wanted.

He not only wants to win, but he wants to win spectacularly.

If Hu Bing were to improve his skills to the extreme and choose to temporarily avoid his sharp edge, he could certainly win, but such a victory would not be thorough enough.

He won so badly that Hu Bing had nothing to say, and he won so badly that Chaosheng Martial Arts Academy had nothing to say either.

As for whether exposing the Reverse Scale Armor and revealing his true strength would bring him any hidden dangers, Lin Chen no longer cared.

The strength he displayed today is enough to attract the attention of others.

With the Reverse Scale Armor removed, Lin Chen let out a long roar, as if he had been freed from shackles, and the speed at which his internal energy and blood circulated accelerated once again.

A long howl fell!

Lin Chen's figure shot out, this time even faster than before!

"Come on, let's settle this once and for all."

Hu Bing's face also showed a resolute look. He roared and shot out like a giant cannon, heading towards Lin Chen.

boom!
Before the two even clashed, a terrifying gale swept across the stage, causing Meng Xing and the others, who were closest to the stage, to take several steps back, as the gale was almost too much for them to bear.

boom!
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, the two figures collided violently.

A deafening roar, like an earthquake or landslide, echoed across the training ground. Everyone stared in horror at the two figures, watching as the bluestone slabs beneath their feet shattered, sending up a cloud of dust that instantly enveloped them.

Such destructive power in a single exchange—is this really something a martial artist specializing in internal organs could achieve?
"Even a martial artist who has mastered the internal organs would not be able to fight like this."

"Any one of them, if facing any other martial arts practitioner who has practiced internal organs, would probably be invincible."

"I never expected to witness such a spectacular battle. This is definitely the strongest competition among those at the Internal Organ Refinement Realm in the last ten years." ...

Amidst the shock, everyone's eyes were fixed on the dust billowing from the stage. At this moment, they were even more eager to know who would win this battle.

Even now, the martial artists of the Elephant Kingdom dare not say for sure that Hu Bing will win, as Lin Chen's displayed strength has already shocked them.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

As the dust settled, the audience gasped once again upon seeing the two figures standing on the stage.

Is the outcome still undecided?

As the dust settled, Lin Chen and Hu Bing appeared before everyone's eyes. Hu Bing stood there with a straight posture, as did Lin Chen.

"From this perspective, Lin Chen and Hu Bing should be evenly matched."

"This match should be a draw."

Upon hearing the word "draw," the warriors of the Elephant Kingdom did not object for the first time. In fact, they secretly hoped that the competition would end immediately with a draw.

For the first time, a sense of guilt appeared on their faces.

Just as everyone was discussing, Hu Bing suddenly coughed. After that cough, it was as if a dam had collapsed. Hu Bing coughed continuously until he spat out the last mouthful of blood.

puff!
Blood spurted out, and Hu Bing's body shrank rapidly like a deflated balloon.

call out!
On the stands, Santo's figure vanished in a blur, instantly appearing in front of Hu Bing. He quickly pressed several acupoints on Hu Bing's body, then took out a pill from his pocket and poured it into Hu Bing's mouth.

The middle-aged man who was acting as the referee did not stop Santo's actions. However, the moment Santo appeared on the stage, he also stepped to stand beside Lin Chen.

"Our Holy Martial Academy has lost this battle!"

Santo helped Hu Bing up, glanced at Lin Chen, then at the middle-aged man protecting Lin Chen, and after a long while, he spoke coldly.

The martial arts academy suffered a great loss this time.

Hu Bing lost, not only disgracing the martial arts academy, but more importantly, even after pushing his Divine Elephant Body to its limit, he was still injured by Lin Chen and will be extremely difficult to recover in less than a month.

Upon hearing their dean admit defeat, the disciples of the Pilgrimage Martial Academy were as wilted as eggplants in the frost. The figure standing on the stage was deeply etched into their hearts.

Perhaps many years from now, when they have become acquainted with the world, they will still never forget the shock that this figure brought them.

The disciples of Sihe Martial Academy, seeing that Chaosheng Martial Academy had lost, had a hint of satisfaction in their eyes. Even Chaosheng Martial Academy had lost, especially the final battle between Hu Bing and Lin Chen, which would surely be talked about with great interest.

As a result, fewer people mentioned their Four Harmony Martial Academy, and the Pilgrimage Martial Academy took on the burden of this discussion for them.

Compared to the dark thoughts in the hearts of the disciples of the Four Harmony Martial Academy, the Liang warriors in the training ground cheered in unison. These matches were so satisfying to watch.

"Senior Brother Lin, you're awesome!"

Yu Fei shouted loudly, and this time the other disciples of Lingxiao Martial Academy did not hesitate and followed suit.

"Senior Brother Lin, you're awesome!"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded slightly to everyone, then expressed his gratitude to the referee beside him. He knew that the referee stood by his side at the last moment because he was afraid that the old man from the Holy Martial Academy would hold a grudge against him and make a move.

Although the possibility is very small, what if it happens...?

Even if this senior was no match for the old man who was a pilgrimage warrior, he could at least hold out for a few breaths, enough for the higher-ups of the martial arts academy to react.

As soon as Lin Chen stepped off the stage, he was surrounded by Meng Xing and the others.

Seeing that Meng Xing and the others were about to speak, Lin Chen waved his hand to stop them and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything praising me. I hope that next time, when Benshan Lang and Hu Bing come to Lingxiao Martial Academy to challenge them, I won't have to take action."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xing paused for a moment, but then nodded emphatically: "Senior Brother Lin, I will do it."

The other disciples nodded seriously after Meng Xing spoke.

This is their promise to Lin Chen, and also a spur to themselves.

They are the disciples of Lingxiao Martial Academy. This time, they relied on Senior Brother Lin to save face for the academy, but the next moment they will have to rely on themselves.

Hao Jifeng, who was walking towards this side, paused for a moment, looking at Lin Chen's figure, and at this moment he felt extremely envious of Canglan Martial Academy.

With a disciple like Lin Chen, the overall strength of the Canglan Martial Academy disciples will inevitably rise to a new level.

He saw the demeanor of a qualified senior martial arts academy student in Lin Chen!
No wonder, no wonder the young people of Jiangnan Road admire Lin Chen so much. Look at the eyes of Meng Xing and the others. If the martial arts academy could release them, I'm afraid that if Lin Chen raised his arm and called out, these little guys would follow him to the Canglan Martial Arts Academy.

"Ahem, Lin Chen, you did a very good job."

Upon seeing Hao Jifeng, Lin Chen quickly bowed and greeted him: "Dean Hao."

"These three battles today have demonstrated the might of the warriors of Great Liang!"

Unfortunately, Lin Chen wasn't a disciple of Lingxiao Martial Academy, otherwise his words would have showcased the academy's prestige.

Hao Jifeng felt a little regretful, but he quickly dismissed it. The martial arts academy was already very satisfied with the result and there was no need to ask for more.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the dean."

Upon hearing that he was to see the dean, Lin Chen's eyes lit up. He knew that Lingxiao Martial Academy was about to reward him.
