Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 261 The Overbearing Nature of the Canglan Sect
Lin Chen had a thoughtful look on his face.

The information he received in his mind was an introduction to the Canglan Finger.

The Canglan Finger is one of the three most important martial arts techniques of the Canglan Sect.

Anyone who wants to join the Canglan Sect must first master the Canglan Finger technique, then take the Canglan Token to the Canglan Sect to participate in the real entrance test. Only after passing the test can one officially become a disciple of the Canglan Sect.

However, the version of the Canglan Finger circulating outside is not the complete version. The complete inheritance of the Canglan Finger can only be obtained after going to the Canglan Sect.

Now, Lin Chen has a choice.

Should we begin to receive the martial arts inheritance of Canglan Finger?
The Canglan Finger technique is different from ordinary martial arts techniques. It has no secret manual, but is passed down through generations and is integrated into the spirit and soul.

If one's soul is not strong enough, it is very likely that it will be unable to bear the inheritance, resulting in damage to the soul.

But if he gives up, he will never have the chance to receive this inheritance again.

"Those who are not geniuses with strong spiritual power, or those who lack confidence in their martial arts, are not worthy of inheriting the martial arts of my Canglan Sect!"

These are the original words left by that powerful True Monarch.

Having accepted this message, his soul was already locked in. If he gave up, there would be no chance to open this inheritance scroll again.

"Since Qin Tian dared to try, I have no reason not to."

Lin Chen pondered for only a few breaths before making a decision.

The warriors of the Yan Dynasty are like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the nine kingdoms, and the existence of the Canglan Sect is very likely the way to break the deadlock.

He couldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

……

……

Lin Chen looked inward at his spiritual center, and the next moment the entire surroundings changed.

He appeared in the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

The next moment, the sky suddenly cracked open, and a giant, ice-blue finger, thousands of feet long, descended from the sky with immense pressure.

The energy of the vast ocean flowed between the knuckles. The moment it fell, the mountains within a hundred miles shattered like brittle porcelain. A torrent of energy poured out from between the fingers, transforming into a vast, icy blue tide that swept across the eight directions.

Wherever the icy blue tide passed, all the mountains collapsed and turned to dust.

This is the Azure Wave Finger!

Lin Chen simply couldn't imagine what level of martial arts skill and strength was required to achieve this.

After transmigrating to this world, even though the martial arts here are very powerful, Lin Chen felt that he could at least understand them.

But the power displayed by the Azure Wave Finger had already exceeded his comprehension.

With a single finger, mountains crumble!

Is this really something a martial artist could do?

However, the power of the Azure Wave Finger was not over yet. As the mountain collapsed, cracks appeared on the stone gate on Lin Chen's spiritual platform, as if it could not withstand the pressure and was about to collapse.

boom!
Instantly, the golden sunlight behind the stone gate of the spiritual platform shone brightly, and countless golden rays poured down. This time, they did not fall on the golden man in the dantian, but on the stone gate, repairing the cracks in the stone gate.

At the same time, streams of green energy, like willow branches, hung down, firmly fixing the spiritual platform.

Inside the stone gate, the icy blue dragon shadow also emerged, landing beneath the spiritual platform and supporting it.

With the three energies unleashed simultaneously, Lin Chen's pale complexion began to improve slightly.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

When the excruciating pain in his head subsided, Lin Chen trembled as a surge of information flooded into his brain, far exceeding what he had experienced before.

One finger, two fingers...

The moves of the Azure Wave Finger began to appear and be practiced in his mind, as if he were personally performing the Azure Wave Finger.

The inheritance of martial arts techniques.

It was as if he had personally practiced the cultivation.

What the inheritor needs to do is to have a strong enough soul to withstand the infusion of this martial arts.

Inside the palace, Lin Chen stood quietly, his body swirling with icy blue light, his internal organs churning wildly.

……

……

An hour later, the moment Lin Chen opened his eyes, the light on his body dissipated.

Canglan refers to the martial arts inheritance, which he has absorbed in its entirety.

Raise your hand and point with your index finger.

A glint of icy blue light flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, and as he pointed his finger, the space in front of him rippled noticeably.

But with just this one finger, Lin Chen felt his breath catch in his throat; this one finger had drained all the energy from his body.

boom!
Ten feet away, a loud bang came from the air, and a surge of energy rippled outwards.

However, the palace was extremely spacious and completely empty, so Lin Chen could not see the power of this finger strike with the naked eye.

"With this Azure Wave Finger pointing at me, and then facing Senior Brother Li, I'm afraid it won't just be me who has to retreat."

Although he couldn't see the power of this finger strike, Lin Chen was confident that it was definitely his strongest move, even surpassing the current Dragon Shadow Bow.

The only regret is that he can only use one finger now.

Perhaps he will be able to use his multiple fingers only after he has completed nine cycles or reached the highest level.

Pulling his thoughts back, Lin Chen looked at the Canglan Token floating in the hall. He hadn't forgotten what Qin Tian had said about the two second-rank martial artists from Wu Kingdom and the Canglan Sea Demon launching a siege against the Canglan Martial Academy.

Time is precious to him.

He stepped forward and grasped the Azure Wave Token. A chilling yet domineering energy instantly surged into his body, only to vanish without a trace in an instant. "Is this a test to see if I've accepted the Azure Wave Finger's inheritance?"

Thinking of what Qin Tian said, that only by cultivating the secret technique could one obtain the Canglan Token, Lin Chen also had a guess about the changes in his body just now.

Just as Lin Chen was speculating, the Canglan Token suddenly shone brightly, and within this icy blue light, the figure of a middle-aged man appeared.

"Those who have entered the Canglan Sect are qualified to take the Canglan Sect's assessment and will be granted the Canglan Token."

The middle-aged man was not a physical entity, but rather formed from condensed light. His face was obscured, but his voice was authoritative. Lin Chen knew that this must be the master of Canglan Mansion, the True Monarch-level expert that Qin Tian had mentioned.

"I am Fei Fanyang, the 62nd disciple of the Canglan Sect. I have been ordered to inherit the martial arts of the Canglan Sect and search for talented disciples for the sect. Our sect is located in the Canglan Domain of the Yanhuang Dynasty. You may go to the Canglan Domain to participate in the sect's assessment."

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Yanhuang Dynasty, Canglan Domain.

He noted down the place names, as for heading to the Yan Dynasty...

"Senior, this disciple is not within the territory of the Yan Emperor Dynasty. I do not know how to get to the Yan Emperor Dynasty or the Canglan Domain?"

Lin Chen didn't know if the phantom left behind by this True Lord could hear his words, but he had to try.

To Lin Chen's regret, the illusory figure left behind by the True Monarch did not answer his question, but continued, "Those who hold the Canglan Token are geniuses selected by our sect. Other sects are not allowed to accept them. If a holder of the Canglan Token joins another sect without the consent of our sect, he shall be executed!"

As soon as the word "execute" left his lips, Lin Chen felt a terrifying killing intent surge towards him, making his breathing rapid.

Fortunately, this murderous intent vanished instantly.

Lin Chen was somewhat speechless. Now that he had obtained the Canglan Token, he could no longer join other sects?

Unless the Canglan Sect doesn't want him?
Is it because I learned the Canglan Finger technique?
The rules of the Canglan Sect are rather domineering.

The True Lord's illusory figure continued speaking: "The one who holds the Canglan Token is a genius selected by our sect. We hope that martial artists from other sects, regions, dynasties, and islands will take care of him and not harm him."

Hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. He suddenly felt that the domineering nature of the Canglan Sect wasn't so bad after all.

Although the word "望" (wang, meaning to look forward to) was used, the domineering aura in this True Lord's words was palpable.

"Whoever carries the Canglan Token must come to our sect within five years. If they fail to do so within five years, disciples from our sect will come to investigate. If they delay their arrival without a valid reason, they will be executed!"

"The Azure Wave Token contains Azure Wave energy, enough for the holder to cultivate the Azure Wave Finger. Do not overlook it."

After uttering five sentences, the True Lord's illusory image vanished, and the light of the Azure Token also disappeared.

Lin Chen looked at the palm-sized "Canglan Token" and analyzed the information revealed in the True Lord's words.

First of all, the Canglan Sect is definitely not weak in the Yan Dynasty, otherwise it would not have said that it would ask other sects, regions, dynasties and islands to take care of it and not to harm the holder of the Canglan Token.

You need to have the confidence to say such things.

Secondly, if someone who possesses the Canglan Token does not go to the Canglan Sect within five years, the Canglan Sect will send disciples to investigate. This shows that the Canglan Sect is able to sense whether someone is possessing the Canglan Token.

This also confirms the previous statement: if anyone dares to harm a genius who holds the Canglan Token, and that genius does not go to the Canglan Sect within five years, the Canglan Sect will send disciples to investigate.

Unless the person committing the act believes they can do it flawlessly.

But Lin Chen estimated that even if it was done flawlessly, it would be useless. Given the domineering style of the Canglan Sect, they might not need any evidence.

This Canglan Token is a good thing.

After putting away the Canglan Token, Lin Chen searched the palace for a while longer, and only left with some regret after confirming that there were no other treasures in the palace.

This True Lord really didn't leave anything good for his successors; he just passed down his martial arts.

……

……

"Is this the lair of the Canglan Sea Clan?"

Lin Chen immediately looked around, his expression wary.

After leaving the palace, he began searching for a way out. He first searched the area where he had first woken up, but could not find an exit. Finally, he headed in the direction from which Qin Tian and the others had come, and this time he found a vortex passage.

If it weren't for Qin Tian, ​​Lin Chen would rather stay in Canglan Mansion than choose to come out from this side.

"This time, the Canglan Sea Clan has come out in full force, and all the demons of the first rank have gone to the Canglan Martial Academy."

It was Qin Tian's words that sparked a bold idea in Lin Chen's mind.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Canglan Sea Clan had mobilized all its forces to deal with the Martial Academy, he launched a decisive attack on the Sea Clan.

Lin Chen pressed his body against the cave wall, his figure disappearing into the darkness as he slowly crept forward.

The sea creatures' caves were extremely deep and had many branching passages. Lin Chen randomly chose one of the passages and quickly entered.

After a dozen or so breaths, Lin Chen stopped and looked at the stone chamber in front of him, his eyes gleaming.

He smelled a fragrance.

Almost without hesitation, Lin Chen flashed into the stone chamber, and the aroma that permeated the entire chamber made him feel hungry.

Lin Chen's gaze swept quickly across the entire stone chamber, but the next moment his eyes were drawn to the green crystals piled up like a small mountain.

"Azure Pearl!"

Looking at the green beads that filled most of the stone house, Lin Chen swallowed hard.

The book his teacher gave him about rare and precious treasures in the martial arts world mentioned the Azure Pearl.

Lin Chen would remember the Canglan Pearl in particular because it could only be found in the Canglan Sea, and he was heading to the Canglan Martial Academy.

Azure Pearl!
It has the effect of enhancing one's martial arts will.

A single Azure Pearl is worth a hundred gold coins for a martial artist of the first rank, and there are over a thousand of them here.

Most importantly, this substance does not require refining and can be consumed like food.

This means that as long as your stomach can hold it, you can eat as much as you want.
