Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 98 Purple Star Marrow Fluid, a Body Refining Treasure

Three days later!
Zhenyue Martial Arts School!

In the dormitory, Lin Chen was shirtless and kept hitting himself with his fists.

Wait until the skin all over the body turns red, jump into the bathtub beside you, and soak the whole body in the medicine.

"Is Senior Brother Lin here?"

Fu Ang's voice came from the door, and Lin Chen responded, "The door is not locked, Junior Brother Fu, just come in."

Fu Ang pushed open the door and saw Lin Chen with only his head sticking out of the bathtub.

"Brother Lin, have you completed another hour of training?"

He was convinced!

For two consecutive days, Brother Lin spent all his time practicing martial arts except for going to the cafeteria to eat.

Is it possible that Senior Brother Lin has nothing else to do besides practicing martial arts?
If he won first place in this competition, he would at least have to take time out every day to go out and enjoy the praise of the people in the city.

"Brother Fu, is there something wrong?"

"Brother Lin, this is great news. Look what this is?"

Fu Ang held a notice in his hand and said excitedly: "This is the notice issued by the Military Affairs Office today. The entire notice tells the story of you, Senior Brother Lin."

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed. Is Lord Su so fast?

As soon as I received the reply from the teacher, Lord Su started to take action. His actions were really swift and decisive.

The content of the notice mainly introduced himself and Instructor Yu. He described himself as a boy from a poor family, but with a firm determination to pursue martial arts. In the end, he overcame all obstacles and won first place in the March competition.

As for the teachers, more emphasis is placed on their concern for themselves, including the introduction of work-study programs.

At the end, he raised the tone and quoted what he had said to his instructors: A good sword is forged from the process of being sharpened by grinding. He used this to encourage the martial arts students in Poyang County!
A big bowl of chicken soup!
Lin Chen could imagine how many students would be motivated when this notice was passed on to the martial arts gym and even the martial arts halls below.

Although Lord Su has selfish motives, and so do I, but if there are three or five students who are influenced by my deeds and do not give up their aspirations to practice martial arts, it can be considered that Lord Su and I have made a small contribution to the martial arts of Poyang County.

"Brother Lin, the notice has now spread throughout the county. It is said that it is very likely to be announced throughout the Rao Prefecture. Brother Lin will become famous throughout the Rao Prefecture."

Fu Ang's tone was filled with envy, but not jealousy. He had witnessed Brother Lin's diligence in the past few days, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"By the way, Master Hong asked me to inform you that I'm going to the Military Administration Office today. Someone from the Military Administration Office has sent a message saying that Lord Su wants to see you, Senior Brother Lin."

"Okay, please let Junior Brother Fu pass on the message."

Lord Su wants to see me because he wants to give me a benefit.

If there are benefits, we naturally cannot delay.

After taking the medicinal bath, Lin Chen did not continue to practice the Iron Bone Skill. He changed his clothes, left the martial arts hall, and went straight to the Wuzheng Office.

Martial Arts Office.

This time, Su Lingchuan did not meet Lin Chen in the hall, but in the backyard.

Meeting in the hall means official business, meeting in the backyard can also be official business, but it represents intimacy.

Su Lingchuan was standing in the pavilion by the pond in the courtyard. On the stone table in the pavilion was an exquisite brocade box. When he saw Lin Chen coming in, he smiled and asked, "How is your stay at Zhenyue Martial Arts Hall?"

"Master Tai and Deputy Master Hong of Zhenyue Martial Arts School are very kind to the disciples. They never hide anything from the disciples just because they are students of Jingshui Martial Arts School. If there is something that the disciples do not understand, they will always help them to understand."

Lin Chen answered immediately, but he was a little surprised in his heart. Lord Su's attitude towards him was more intimate than last time.

"I have told Tai Rubai that I will not hide anything from you regarding the Iron Bone Skill. Do you have any difficulty in practicing the Iron Bone Skill these days?"

"Have!"

Lin Chen was not polite: "I discovered after practicing Iron Bone Skill that it is different from Qingfeng Palm and Shuiyun Palm. There is no shortcut. I can only polish my body step by step. However, there is a limit to the pain my body can endure. Even with the secret medicine provided by the martial arts hall, it is still too slow to recover."

The biggest obstacle Lin Chen encountered in practicing Iron Bone Skill was that even if he wanted to work hard, his body could not hold on.

Unlike the Qingfeng Palm and Shuiyun Palm, no matter how hard he practiced, even if his arms were sore that he couldn't lift them in the end, after waking up the next day, the soreness in his arms would dissipate thanks to the recovery ability brought by the vigorous Qi and blood in his body, and would not affect the next day's practice at all.

But the Iron Bone Skill was different. After he practiced excessively, even with medicinal baths and secret medicines, his body still could not recover completely.

Even if he bought the most expensive secret medicine in the martial arts gym and soaked it in the most effective liquid medicine, it would not be enough to withstand his diligent practice.

Lin Chen asked Fu Ang, and learned from him that Zhenyue Martial Arts School did not hide anything from him, and all the secret medicines and liquids were open to him.

The most expensive Vajra Bone-Forging Soup costs twenty taels per packet, but this kind of medicine is used to help strengthen bones. As for physical recovery, the best soup in Tiexue Martial Arts School is the Guiyuan Soup which costs two taels per packet.

He had been taking Guiyuan Decoction for the past three days, but he still could not achieve complete recovery.

Su Lingchuan smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Lin Chen's difficulties: "Open the brocade box on the table and take a look." Lin Chen had already noticed the brocade box on the stone table, and guessed in his heart that this might be the benefit that Lord Su wanted to give him.

Without wasting any time, he reached out and opened the brocade box, which contained three white jade medicine bottles.

Lin Chen did not take the medicine bottle, but looked at Su Lingchuan, waiting for Lord Su's introduction.

"These three medicine bottles contain Purple Star Marrow Fluid, which is taken from the marrow of the exotic Purple Star Crystal species in the East China Sea. It can help the body recover quickly and is extremely precious. Purple Star Marrow Fluid is not sold in Raozhou Prefecture and is exclusive to the Military Administration Department."

Three bottles of Purple Star Marrow Fluid, in the treasury of the Military Administration Department, require thirty contribution points to exchange for one bottle. This time, Su Lingchuan spent all the educational merit he could get on Lin Chen without reservation.

The teacher is right. The Wuzheng Institute, including the Wuzheng Department, has had talented students over the years, but talented students with a background like Lin Chen are extremely rare. The further Lin Chen goes in martial arts, the higher his achievements will be.

"Thank you, Master Su!"

Lin Chen was delighted and grateful. He didn't know how much the Purple Star Marrow Fluid was worth, but since a warrior like Lord Su could say the word "precious", it must be extraordinary.

"This is what you deserve." Su Lingchuan stroked his beard and smiled. He did not tell Lin Chen the value of the purple crystal marrow fluid because he thought Lin Chen should know how precious it was.

Since Shu Suwan wrote to Lin Chen to ask for this item, she should have mentioned this item in her reply to Lin Chen.

If Su Lingchuan knew that in the reply letter Lin Chen received, Yu Yongnian simply said "I already know about this, you don't need to pay too much attention to the Military Affairs Office" and then revealed the matter, he would probably have to count on his fingers to tell Lin Chen the value of these three bottles of amethyst marrow fluid.

"This time I went to the Military Affairs Department to report to the Director about your and Yu Yongnian's deeds. The Director also announced another thing. Three months later, the new students of the eight martial arts schools in Poyang will compete with the new students of the Qianshan County martial arts school."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes sparkled, and he immediately said, "Disciple understands. Next, I must practice martial arts diligently and strive to win a good ranking for Poyang County in the competition three months later."

Having received such a valuable item, Lin Chen naturally had to show his attitude.

"I'm not telling you this to put pressure on you, so don't take it the wrong way."

Su Lingchuan waved his hands. Before getting the teacher's advice, he did have the intention of letting Lin Chen help Poyang County get a good ranking in the county competition three months later.

But now he has changed his mind. If Lin Chen were to embark on the path of extreme martial arts, his cultivation progress would inevitably slow down. If he wanted to quickly improve his realm, he could only temporarily put aside the cultivation of the Iron Blood Skill, which was equivalent to giving up on this path of extreme martial arts.

"Your current goal is to practice the Iron Blood Art. Although your realm breakthrough will slow down in the short term, once you have mastered the Iron Blood Art, your speed will catch up."

"As for the county competition in three months, apart from you, is there no one else among the many students in Poyang County? Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Lin Chen did not expect that Lord Su would be so reasonable and think for himself. When Lord Su chose to portray himself and Instructor Yu as role models, his impression of Lord Su was that of a politician.

It seems that I have misunderstood Lord Su.

However, I have the blessing of destiny, so my progress will not be too slow. Lord Su has cultivated me so much, so I still have to contribute to the three-month county competition.

After leaving the Wuzheng Office, Lin Chen returned to Zhenyue Martial Arts School. The students at Zhenyue Martial Arts School were not surprised to see Lin Chen. Many students had met Lin Chen in the past few days. After the students spread the news to each other, they all knew that Lin Chen lived in Zhenyue Martial Arts School.

Senior Brother Lin came to Zhenyue Martial Arts School to practice Iron Bone Kung Fu.

When they first heard the news, the students of Zhenyue Martial Arts School were shocked. After all, no one had ever practiced the skills of two martial arts schools at the same time.

The fact that Lin Chen practiced Qingfeng Palm and Shuiyun Palm is known to all students in major martial arts schools. However, Tiegu Gong is different from Shuiyun Palm. They are completely different techniques. They don't understand why Senior Brother Lin wants to practice Tiegu Gong. Isn't he afraid of acupoint conflicts that will cause his realm to stagnate?
Most of the students had never heard of the extreme martial arts training method for the Kaiqiao realm. Even though the news had spread from Zhenyue Martial Arts School to other martial arts schools, only a few people knew that Lin Chen was taking the path of extreme martial arts.

The students' attention was soon drawn to another shocking piece of news.

Three months later, students from Poyang County Martial Arts School will compete with students from Qianshan County Martial Arts School.

Cross-county competition, which used to only occur in provincial examinations, actually happened among the new batch of students, instantly igniting the passion for martial arts among the new batch of students in Poyang County.

At this moment, the new students of the eight martial arts schools no longer had any competition among the schools. They only had one thought in mind: to win against Qianshan County.

The consumption rate of rare bird meat and elixirs in major martial arts halls is increasing visibly.

After the competition ended in March, the sales of rare bird meat and elixirs had declined, but as soon as this news came out, there was another surge in sales.

Half a month later, the Seven Stars Martial Arts School received the first news that Song Yu had broken through to the Ninth Aperture.

Two days later, Zhang Qing from Kuangfeng Martial Arts School also broke through to the ninth level.

……

……

Everyone knows that those who have broken through to the ninth level have not yet taken the Tongqiao Pill awarded by Wu Zheng.

Lin Chen, who won the first place in the March competition, was still in the backyard of the dormitory, constantly beating himself.
