Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 243 Desperate Situation
Who is he?
In the stands, many people were puzzled, not understanding why others suddenly cheered.

"If even he doesn't know, are you still a warrior of my Great Liang?"

"No, do warriors of the Great Liang necessarily need to know who he is?"

"He is Lin Chen, who defeated Ben Shanlang of Sihe Martial Arts Academy and Hu Bing of Chaosheng Martial Arts Academy more than two months ago."

Many of the martial artists in the stands had witnessed that battle before, which is why they were so excited to see Lin Chen appear now.

Two months ago, the scene of Lin Chen turning the tide was still replaying in their minds.

Lin Chen?

The eyes of everyone else present also fell on Lin Chen. After the battle two months ago, everyone present knew Lin Chen's name.

Even those who had reached the rank of martial artist had heard of it.

In the stands, several young people kept their eyes fixed on Lin Chen.

This person is the recently emerging genius of the Great Liang Dynasty, who is said to surpass Pei Qingming.

"What do you think?"

"They have some strength, but it's not enough."

In the stands, two young men were whispering to each other, their eyes filled with absolute confidence.

"You're all celebrating too soon. I admit Lin Chen is very strong, as evidenced by his ability to defeat Hu Bing and Benshan Lang. But don't forget, the three Yu Beichen brothers are all about to enter the Rank 3, while Lin Chen has only recently entered the Refining Organs stage. The difference in strength is huge."

"That's right. If Lin Chen were given a year, he might be able to defeat the three Yu brothers, but I'm afraid he can't now."

The discussions in the stands did not affect Lin Chen, who was walking towards the disciples of Lingxiao Martial Academy.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

When Meng Xing saw Lin Chen, his face also showed excitement.

Senior Brother Lin went to the Lingxiao Hall and hadn't come out yet. I didn't expect him to come out at this time.

"Senior Brother Lin!"

Fu Ze and the other new disciples of Lingxiao Martial Academy were also very excited. The scene of Senior Brother Lin defeating Hu Bing was still unforgettable for them.

However, the senior students from the previous year did not appear as excited or relaxed at this moment.

The three Yu brothers are not Hu Bing and Benshan Lang. The three Yu brothers have refined all five internal organs, while Lin Chen had only refined two organs two months ago. The difference of three organs is like a chasm.

Even though Lin Chen's physical body is very strong, once he has reached the Great Completion of Internal Organs, he can begin to temper spiritual weapons and use them.

No matter how strong the physical body is, how can it compare to a spiritual weapon?

Moreover, although there were rumors that Lin Chen and Hu Bing's physical strength was comparable to that of a fully mastered cultivator, there was probably some exaggeration in that.

Not far away, Cui Yunfan's gaze also fell on Lin Chen, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

He had heard the name Lin Chen mentioned many times by his elders, and he hated the owner of this name to the core.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's appearance, the Ministry of Military Affairs would have changed its policy long ago.

It was Lin Chen's sudden appearance that disrupted the clan's plans. If the clan hadn't quickly severed ties with certain individuals, they would have been purged back then.

"Dean Hou."

Lin Chen nodded to Meng Xing and then looked at Hou Zhantian.

Hou Zhantian was also staring at Lin Chen. Although martial artists' qi and blood are contained internally after they reach the stage of enlightenment, and even more so after they reach the stage of internal organ refinement, making it impossible to see from the outside, Hou Zhantian was still able to detect the changes in Lin Chen with his keen eyesight.

Their momentum is much stronger than it was two months ago.

"Did you find anything inside the Lingxiao Palace?"

"Yes, we've made a great discovery."

Lin Chen didn't hide anything and nodded emphatically: "This disciple is confident in this battle."

He had just carefully observed the battle between Yu Beichen and his two brothers and their three senior brothers. As long as these three had not yet reached the rank of 3, he had nothing to fear.

"Alright, in that case, you will fight in this battle, and I will arrange two more disciples for you."

Hou Zhantian gave Lin Chen a deep look, and without further hesitation, agreed.

The debate over the policy of training disciples in the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Great Liang Dynasty has continued for many years since the death of Emperor Taizu. However, due to Emperor Taizu's prestige, voices demanding change have always been a minority in the court. It was only after the death of the Marquis of Zhenbei that voices advocating for change began to emerge.

This battle is related to many things.

"Thank you, Dean."

Hou Zhantian looked at his two disciples behind him: "Cao Fan, Liu Yuanlang, you two will go up with Lin Chen."

"Yes."

Seeing the two senior brothers that Dean Hou had chosen for him, Lin Chen had no objections. He exchanged glances with the two senior brothers, and the three of them walked towards the training ground.

As he passed by Cui Yunfan and the others, Cui Yunfan had a smile on his face: "Junior Brother Lin, I'll be waiting for your victory down here."

"I will not let my senior brother down."

Both Lin Chen and Cui Yunfan had smiles on their faces, but the smiles didn't reach the depths of their eyes.

Different road non-phase plan.

As for Lin Chen himself, he could choose to give up. Cui Yunfan and the others' request for the Ministry of Martial Arts to change the training of young martial artists would no longer affect him. In fact, to some extent, if the changes were made, he could even benefit more from them.

Not just him, but also his next generation.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get over that hurdle in his own heart.

Without the policies of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lin Chen wouldn't be where he is today, even with the power panel!
Lin Chen is not a dragon-slaying youth, but he will not become an evil dragon.

Lin Chen would do everything in his power to leave a way out for martial artists from humble backgrounds, as long as it didn't endanger their lives.

Especially after Cui Yunfan and his group appeared at this time, Lin Chen saw that these so-called martial arts geniuses who went to other countries from a young age had no sense of belonging to Daliang at all; they were more focused on pursuing their own interests.

People are not killed for their own sake.

But everyone should have some pursuits in life.

"Very good, then I wish my junior brother victory in advance."

Cui Yunfan gave a forced smile. It was good that Lin Chen wanted to step forward. After losing the match, he could then defeat the three Yu Beichen brothers. At that time, all the martial artists of Daliang would know that the future of Daliang ultimately depended on the geniuses from martial arts families like theirs.

Lin Chen ignored Cui Yunfan and followed his two senior brothers, Cao Fan, onto the field.

"Junior Brother Lin, try to stay behind us. We'll make the first move. Don't be reckless."

Cao Fan whispered in Lin Chen's ear. He had witnessed Lin Chen's battle with Hu Bing. Lin Chen was indeed very strong in the early stage of the Internal Organ Refinement Realm, enough to sweep away everything. But now it was a battle between those who had reached the Great Completion of the Internal Organ Refinement Realm.

This battle mainly relied on myself and Senior Brother Liu. As for Junior Brother Lin... he was mostly there to help them hold off one of the enemy's opponents.

He and Senior Brother Liu will defeat their opponents as quickly as possible.

"it is good."

Lin Chen paused for a moment, but still agreed.

As Lin Chen and his two companions stepped onto the stage, the entire martial arts arena fell silent once more. The warriors of Daliang wore expressions of anticipation, their gazes fixed intently on the platform.

"As you all may have noticed, even though we think that the chances of Lin Chen winning against the three Yu Beichen brothers are not high, seeing Lin Chen on the field always gives us a sense of anticipation."

In the stands, a young man from Daliang rubbed his hands together, while the others around him showed expressions of approval.

Reason told them that Lin Chen's appearance wouldn't change the outcome, but there was still a sliver of hope in their hearts.

"This is Lin Chen's charm. He creates miracles time and time again, leaving his name on Martial Arts Mountain seven times, breaking Senior Pei's record, defeating Ben Shanlang in one move, and physically overpowering Hu Bing... Which of these things could have been predicted before they happened?"

"That's right. As long as Lin Chen is on the field, it's enough to make people overlook his strength and have high expectations for him."

"You Liang people really know how to comfort yourselves. Do you really think martial arts is something? You keep creating miracles. Martial arts is ultimately about strength. Lin Chen only refined two acupoints two months ago. What makes him think he can create miracles?" A martial artist from another country said with disdain.

Upon hearing this, the Liang warrior questioned, "What if Lin Chen wins?"

"If Lin Chen wins, I will walk out of the training ground completely naked."

……

……

On the martial arts stage, the three Yu brothers watched as Lin Chen and his two companions came up to the stage, and their gazes also fell on Lin Chen.

"Big brother, leave Lin Chen to me."

The second brother, Yu Dongming, said that the three brothers didn't need to use a combined attack technique to deal with Lin Chen and his two companions.

"Second brother, leave Lin Chen to me. You and eldest brother can deal with the other two."

The third brother, Yu Xingye, chuckled. It would be interesting if a genius who surpassed Pei Qingming were to be defeated by him.

"Alright, I'll leave Lin Chen to you, Third Brother."

Yu Beichen smiled. He knew his two younger brothers' thoughts very well. Defeating a genius like Lin Chen would be a huge blow to the morale of Daliang.

If he weren't the older brother, he would have wanted to deal with Lin Chen himself.

Lin Chen heard everything clearly as the three Yu brothers spoke in their own voices.

"Junior Brother Lin, try to stall for time. Senior Brother Liu and I will deal with our opponents and then come to your aid."

Cao Fan's face lit up with joy upon hearing the words of the three Yu brothers. As long as the three brothers did not choose to join forces, they still had a chance to win this time.

“That’s right, Junior Brother Lin, your movement technique is quite good. There’s no need for you to fight Yu Xingye head-on. Junior Brother Cao and I will do our best to defeat the Yu Beichen brothers.”

Liu Yuanlang also spoke up. Lin Chen originally thought it wouldn't be too troublesome, but knowing that his two senior brothers meant well, he finally nodded in agreement.

As soon as the referee said "start," Cao Fan and Liu Yuanlang exchanged a glance, then shot off instantly, heading straight for Yu Beichen and Yu Dongming.

"What a fool!"

A strange smile appeared on Yu Beichen's face. This smile wasn't unique to him; Yu Dongming and Yu Xingye also wore the same one.

The three brothers instantly shifted their positions, and the five of them collided in mid-air, creating a deafening sound. In just a moment, Cao Fan and Liu Yuanlang were sent flying backward.

This scene caused an uproar in the training ground.

No one expected that the three Yu brothers would pull such a stunt.

Despite having the upper hand, they still resorted to underhanded tactics. Their words and the way the three brothers looked at each other made everyone present think that they weren't planning to use their combined attack this time.

"Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Liu have been tricked."

Below the stage, Meng Xing and the others stared with their mouths slightly agape, with some disciples even shouting, "Despicable!"

"All's fair in war. My three brothers and I haven't violated the rules of the fight. You're just too stupid."

Yu Beichen didn't care at all about the overwhelming curses erupting from the Liang warriors in the training ground. Only the three brothers could fool everyone present with such a convincing fake.

There was no prior communication; they relied solely on their telepathic connection, so no one could detect any flaws.

"Cao Fan and Liu Yuanlang are injured, so the fight is canceled."

"Lin Chen has to fight against Yu Beichen and two others all by himself..."

After their anger subsided, despair filled the eyes of the Liang warriors. If they had any hope before, it had vanished completely.

No matter how many miracles Lin Chen can create, he can never be a match for the three Yu Beichen brothers.

Can we blame Cao Fan and Liu Yuanlang?

If they were on the field, they would make the same choice.

"Senior Brother Cao, Senior Brother Liu... are you alright?"

Lin Chen's expression was also icy. The move by the Yu Beichen brothers had taken him by surprise, and it had taught him a lesson.

It's true that a person with three children cannot be understood or judged from the perspective of an ordinary person.

"Ahem, Junior Brother Lin... if it's not working, just... just admit defeat."

Cao Fan coughed, lowered his head, and dared not look at Lin Chen. His face was full of regret. The three Yu brothers had planned it all out. This time, they fought without holding back. The speed was so fast that he and Senior Brother Liu didn't even have time to react.

Now, his internal organs are severely injured, and he only has half of his strength left. He is afraid that Senior Brother Liu is in the same situation as him.

Hearing Cao Fan's words, Lin Chen pursed his lips. Originally, he had planned to have his two senior brothers help him hold off the three Yu Beichen brothers, as he was confident he could deal with two of them.

But now...

"My two senior brothers, please rest and recuperate here."

Lin Chen stood up and walked forward. Seeing Lin Chen's advancing figure, Cao Fan and Liu Yuanlang were both stunned. At this point, did Junior Brother Lin still want to compete?

"Lin Chen, what is he going to do?"

Everyone present saw Lin Chen walk towards the center of the arena. They saw no despair on Lin Chen's face, only a calm one.

"Senior Brother Lin?"

Below the stage, Meng Xing was somewhat puzzled. Given the current situation, there was no need for Senior Brother Lin to continue fighting. Even if he admitted defeat, no one would blame him.

"What is he going to do?"

This is the question on the minds of all the martial artists watching from the stands.

"Lin Chen, you don't actually think you can take on the three of us brothers by yourself, do you?"

Yu Beichen looked at Lin Chen with a cold smile: "My three brothers and I have always joined forces to fight enemies. We will not choose to fight you one-on-one just because you are alone."

"How despicable!"

"Only these three brothers could talk about bullying the weak with such righteous indignation."

The Liang warriors on and off the stage listened to Yu Beichen's words with gritted teeth and fury.

Lin Chen glanced at Yu Beichen indifferently, without replying, but looked at the referee beside him: "Is it permissible to use weapons in this competition?"

The referee for this match was not a martial artist from the Great Liang, but a sixth-rank martial artist from the Han Kingdom.

"can."

The referee nodded, and at that moment everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Chen. They didn't understand what Lin Chen meant by asking the referee that question.
Could it be that Lin Chen is going to use weapons?
He was a martial artist who had only broken through to the Internal Organs Refinement stage in less than half a year, yet he was competing with the three Yu brothers, who had spent more than a year in the Internal Organs Refinement stage, in weapons combat.
Offstage, only Yu Fei seemed to realize something and murmured: Could it be?
　Monthly pass, it'll expire if you don't use it now!
