Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 39: Four people gather together and fight in Wuyuan (seeking follow-up reading)
"Senior Sister Jiang!"

In the martial arts hall cafeteria, Lin Chen did not go back to the dormitory directly after finishing his meal for the first time. Instead, he waited for a while. When he saw Jiang Qing coming out of the cafeteria, he walked towards her with a smile.

"Junior Brother Lin...is there something wrong?"

When Jiang Qing saw Lin Chen, she was not the cold type and she did not hide the surprise on her face.

"Senior Sister Jiang, I haven't used the amount of benefits that the martial arts school gave me as a Class A student. I wonder if you are interested. If you are, I can buy resources for you."

Lin Chen did not keep the secret and directly stated his purpose. If Senior Sister Jiang did not want it, then he would go find other senior sisters. If that didn't work, he could sell it to those junior sisters.

Jiang Qing blinked her beautiful eyes a few times but did not respond.

"If Senior Sister Jiang doesn't need it, then forget it. Sorry for bothering you."

Seeing that the other party was indifferent, Lin Chen did not hesitate and prepared to find the next target.

"can."

Just as Lin Chen was about to turn around, Jiang Qing's crisp voice was heard. Lin Chen turned around, looking stunned.

"Then I'll have to trouble Junior Brother Lin to go to the cafeteria and order ten kilograms of Grey-winged Gull meat for me."

Grey-winged gull?
Lin Chen recalled the book written by the wealthy senior sister that he had seen in the Martial Arts Pavilion. The book mentioned the Grey-winged Gull, a relatively precious kind of poultry meat that was sold at a price of five taels per catty in the martial arts hall.

But according to what that senior sister said, the Grey-winged Gull is not as cost-effective as the Golden Pheasant. Before the ten orifices, taking the Golden Pheasant is much more cost-effective than the Grey-winged Gull.

"Sister, don't you want to buy the Golden Pheasant? It seems that the Golden Pheasant would be more cost-effective." Lin Chen kindly reminded.

"After eating the Golden Pheasant, there will be fat on its belly, which I don't like."

Jiang Qing answered straightforwardly. Lin Chen's mouth twitched. This reason was too powerful, so powerful that he couldn't refute it.

Senior Sister Jiang is a woman after all, and it would indeed look ugly if she had fat on her belly.

Rich women don’t care about spending more money at all.

"Junior brother understands, Senior Sister Jiang, please wait a moment."

Lin Chen turned and entered the cafeteria, showing his martial arts school identity badge. In the upper left corner of the identity badge for a first-class disciple, there was a character "甲" engraved on it.

After paying twenty taels of silver notes and five taels of silver, he received the meat ticket for ten kilograms of grey-winged gulls.

"Senior Sister Jiang, this is the meat ticket for the Grey-winged Gull."

Lin Chen handed over the meat ticket, and Jiang Qing also had an extra silver note in her hand.

A silver note with a face value of fifty taels.

The banknote was green in color. This was the first time that Lin Chen had seen a banknote of such a large denomination.

"Senior Sister Jiang?"

After seeing the denomination clearly, Lin Chen did not reach out to take it, but was a little confused. Senior Sister Jiang gave him a silver note of fifty taels, which meant that she did not save any money at all?

He originally thought that Senior Sister Jiang would only need to give him twenty taels, so Senior Sister Jiang would save five taels and he could earn twenty taels.

"For me, a few taels of silver don't matter."

As if seeing Lin Chen's confusion, Jiang Qing explained it very directly.

Lin Chen understood that Senior Sister Jiang was not showing off her wealth or looking down on him by saying this. She was just stating a fact.

He is not a person with a fragile heart. Since Senior Sister Jiang is so rich, there is no need to be polite to a rich woman.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

After taking the banknote, Lin Chen thanked him.

"Well, you can come see me next month."

After saying this, Jiang Qing left in a very cool manner.

"Senior Sister Jiang is a good person. Good people will have a peaceful life. I, your junior brother, wish you a long and prosperous life in martial arts."

Lin Chen looked at Jiang Qing's departing back and silently gave her his blessings.

With what Senior Sister Jiang said, he would have an income of twenty-five taels of silver every month. A bottle of Zhiqiao Dan costs thirty taels. As long as he could find a way to earn five taels of silver every month, he would be able to maintain his progress in martial arts.

Although it is the last one, at least it will not be completely left behind.

After collecting the banknotes, Lin Chen did not return to the dormitory this time, but walked out of the martial arts hall.

During the first month of the year, he, Zhao Jingchuan and two other people made an appointment that after the four of them entered the martial arts school, they would gather in the city once a month.

Yesterday, Zhao Jingchuan sent a message to the doorman, and everyone agreed to meet today.

……

……

Yunyin Martial Arts School!

Before Lin Chen reached the martial arts hall gate, a voice came from the left front: "Brother Lin, this way!"

Looking for the source of the sound, they saw Zhao Jingchuan and two other people sitting in a teahouse on the corner in front of the Yunyin Martial Arts School.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

"Brother Lin, you are too polite. I just arrived too." Cheng Ying replied with a smile. The Seven Stars Martial Arts School he joined was the farthest away from the Yunyin Martial Arts School, almost spanning half of the city.

"Since Senior Brother Lin is here, let's go to another place to talk. I know a good place for us warriors in the county."

"Is Junior Brother Zhao talking about Wu Garden?" Lu Yongfeng guessed.

"Yes, it's Wuyuan."

Zhao Jingchuan nodded. Although Lin Chen was somewhat puzzled, he saw the excitement in Lu Yongfeng and Cheng Ying's eyes, which made him curious about this martial arts garden. ...

……

"We're here. This is Wu Garden."

In the northern area of Poyang County, Lin Chen and his three companions passed through a quiet road lined with lush trees and arrived at the gate of a garden.

"Is this Wu Yuan?"

Looking at the entrance of the martial arts garden in front of him, Lin Chen was a little surprised. The gate of this martial arts garden was more domineering than the gates of major martial arts halls.

In front of the gate, a pair of stone lions carved with dragons and phoenixes stand tall, with piercing eyes, which makes most people feel intimidated.

Above the door lintel, a black lacquered plaque with gold edges hangs high, engraved with the words "Wuyuan". The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, revealing an unspoken majesty and solemnity.

On the way here, Lin Chen already knew what Wuyuan was from Zhao Jingchuan.

A place for all warriors in Poyang County to communicate.

But not just anyone who studies martial arts can enter the Martial Arts Garden. To enter the Martial Arts Garden, the minimum requirement is to reach the Awakening Realm.

In the martial arts garden, warriors can exchange martial arts experiences with each other and trade resources.

There was no one guarding the gate of Wu Garden, because no one would dare to come in without knowing the truth.

Zhao Jingchuan led the way, leading Lin Chen and the other two into the martial arts garden. After passing through a path paved with bluestone, they finally appeared in a small courtyard.

Although the courtyard is small, it has rockery and flowing water, as well as a small martial arts field, equipped with swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks.

"Master Zhao."

In the courtyard, a young lady walked over gracefully and bowed deeply in front of everyone. The blessing on her chest was half covered by the white veil.

"Miss Wan'er, I don't need anyone to serve me." Zhao Jingchuan said with a smile.

"Okay, then I will inform the servants not to come in and disturb you without being summoned by the young master." The woman spoke softly, half stepped back a few steps, and then turned and left.

"Brother Zhao, you can. You can even build a courtyard in the Martial Arts Garden. I heard from a senior brother in the Martial Arts School that only those who have trained their organs are qualified to own a courtyard in the Martial Arts Garden."

When the woman's figure disappeared, Cheng Ying looked at Zhao Jingchuan in shock.

"How could I get the courtyard? To be honest, this belongs to an elder in my family. After I signed up for the martial arts school, my father took me to visit him. He met me here. He was leaving the county for a while, so he allowed me to use the courtyard."

Zhao Jingchuan gave a brief explanation, and Lin Chen and the others did not ask who the elder was.

Who doesn’t have a powerful relative?

Everyone has their own secrets and their own connections, but this does not conflict with the four of them learning martial arts together.

"It's still the same as before. The four of us will spar with each other first."

Lu Yongfeng looked at Lin Chen with burning eyes. For him, defeating Lin Chen was already an important motivation for him to move forward on the road of martial arts.

It's not jealousy or hatred, it's purely a belief in competition and not wanting to admit defeat.

"It seems that Junior Brother Lu is very confident, so come on."

Lin Chen smiled. The four of them were all at the second level, so the difference in strength was not that big.

If you want to open an acupoint in the martial arts hall within a month, you need at least two bottles of Zhiqiao Pills. Although Lu Yongfeng and the other three have good family backgrounds in the town, it is unrealistic to spend more than seventy taels every month.

One bottle of Ziqiao Dan per month is the support their family can give them. If they want more resources, they can only seek them on their own.

"Senior Brother Lin, be careful!"

There was confidence in Lu Yongfeng's eyes. After greeting, he moved forward. With just one step, he was already in front of Lin Chen.

The flexibility of Seven Star Fist is not only in the moves, but also in the coordination of footwork.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Lu Yongfeng was making rapid progress. His Seven Star Fist should have reached the proficient stage. It seemed that Lu Yongfeng had been practicing hard every day for more than twenty days.

But, he met himself.

Lin Chen slapped out with his right hand, and with the speed of striking back, his palm slapped on the back of Lu Yongfeng's fist with great accuracy.

Snapped!
The crisp applause shocked Lu Yongfeng. He lowered his right hand and did not make another move. He just stood there in a daze.

"Brother Lu, what happened?"

Zhao Jingchuan and Cheng Ying looked puzzled. Even if he failed in the first move, shouldn't Senior Brother Lu stop there?

At the scene, only Lu Yongfeng knew clearly why he stopped.

Lin Chen's palm strike landed on the back of his hand. Not only was the position extremely precise, but the power in his palm surged into his fist like waves, forcing the strength he had concentrated in his fist to retreat a little.

His strength was cut off. If it was a life-and-death fight, it would mean he had lost the initiative and would have been defeated long ago.

"Brother Lin, have you mastered the Qingfeng Palm?"

After three breaths, Lu Yongfeng asked a guess that he couldn't quite believe.

Zhao Jingchuan and Cheng Ying on the side widened their eyes. What was going on?
What nonsense are you talking about, Brother Lu?
Senior Brother Lin has mastered the Qingfeng Palm?
They would rather believe that Senior Brother Lin has now opened his four orifices than believe this.

"Not yet." Lin Chen replied indifferently.

"I surrender."

Lu Yongfeng looked at Lin Chen deeply. He knew in his heart that the time that Senior Brother Lin mentioned had not arrived yet, but it was probably not far away.

PS: Brothers, today we can only recommend that the traffic has not come, and it is a bit dangerous to compete for Sanjiang next week. If you have monthly tickets, can you vote for Jiudeng? We can only rely on the new book list to gain exposure and increase readers and follow-up reading.

If it was far from enough, Jiudeng would have just ignored it and would have waited a little longer. But the editor said that we are only one or two hundred paying readers away from the requirement. Let's give it a try, please!
