Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Senior Brother Lin was not using those two cultivation techniques, but his palm technique contained a palm force not weaker than his own family’s technique.

But that was not what shocked him the most; what shocked him more was that Senior Brother Lin was growing stronger as the battle continued, while he, using his family’s technique by force, was feeling his Qi blood starting to decline.

Lin Chen was indeed somewhat excited; at this moment, he was like an engine. The initial exchange was merely to warm it up, and now all abilities were fully operational, allowing him to fight to his heart’s content.

However, Junior Brother Xiao was clearly unable to hold on!

"Junior Brother Fang, join in!"

Lin Chen, in the heat of the battle, didn’t want to stop and glanced at Fang Zhan beside him.

Fang Zhan was stunned; should he join forces with Xiao Yaojin?

This... spreading such news would surely create an uproar.

"Junior Brother Fang, come on."

Only Xiao Yaojin knew his condition; he truly couldn’t hold on. If he stepped back and Fang Zhan took over, the outcome would likely be the same.

If he couldn’t force out Senior Brother Lin’s limit, only with Fang Zhan’s help could they do it together.

Hearing Xiao Yaojin speak, Fang Zhan’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and in the next moment, without hesitation, he shot forth, his palms like knives, slashing toward Lin Chen’s feet.

Where Fang Zhan’s palms passed, the bluestone shattered directly, while at the same time, Xiao Yaojin’s fists turned into spear shadows, enveloping Lin Chen’s upper body like a storm of blossoms.

Attacking from above and below, not giving Lin Chen a chance to escape.

Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed, and with a long roar, his internal Qi blood circulation accelerated once more, the aura of blood around his body like mist, making him resemble a furnace, and between the motion of his palms, a vortex was formed.

Fang Zhan, who reached first, had a change in expression, feeling a terrifying force pushing against his palms, deflecting them out of position.

But Fang Zhan reacted quickly, and the next moment, with a shout, his palms shifted positions like changing blades, slashing once more at Lin Chen.

Everything happened in a flash, but that momentary deflection was enough for Lin Chen.

Lin Chen’s left palm, like a powerful wave, struck toward Xiao Yaojin.

Seventh Palm strike again!

This time, it was an all-out Seventh Palm.

With one palm strike, Lin Chen no longer looked at Xiao Yaojin, but instead, his right leg swept out with the Gale Leg, meeting Fang Zhan’s palms.

The collision of the three drew forth the complete shattering of the bluestones around the courtyard, with stone debris flying everywhere.

They collided, separated, and clashed again!

None of the three held back their strength, fighting more ferociously as the battle continued, until they fully unleashed themselves.

The entire courtyard was filled with surging airwaves, the stone dust obscured the figures of the three.

...

...

One move, two moves...

After thirty moves!

The final exchange among the three exploded with a thunderous sound like a sudden thunderclap.

The airwaves dissipated, the dust settled.

The figures of the three emerged in the Martial Arts Arena.

Lin Chen stood on the shattered bluestone slab, his clothes were also torn in several places, and Xiao Yaojin and Fang Zhan were in similar disrepair, with both standing in the mud beneath the bluestone.

"Senior Brother Lin’s strength is remarkable; I’ve witnessed it today as a junior!"

Fang Zhan’s face showed admiration; he and Xiao Yaojin went all out, even using their family’s secret techniques, but could only barely match Senior Brother Lin, and even in this last exchange, they were slightly at a disadvantage.

In all of Liang, this was the first peer martial artist whom Fang Zhan admired.

Xiao Yaojin also gazed deeply at Lin Chen, noticing beneath Lin Chen’s torn clothes a glimpse of inner armor made of silk.

"Senior Brother Lin, may I ask if you’re wearing the Reversed Scale Armor?"

Hearing Xiao Yaojin’s words, Lin Chen hadn’t replied when Fang Zhan’s eyes suddenly shrank, staring intently at the exposed edge of the Reversed Scale Armor on Lin Chen.

What is the Reversed Scale Armor?

With his family background, he naturally knew.

The Reversed Scale Armor can withstand attacks from Grade-Entering Martial Artists, being an extremely precious life-saving treasure for martial artists below that grade.

With the Fang Family’s strength, obtaining the Reversed Scale Armor wasn’t a problem.

The reason Fang Zhan didn’t wear the Reversed Scale Armor was that he had other means to save his life, and more importantly, although the Reversed Scale Armor was thin, wearing it was very heavy.

If he wore the Reversed Scale Armor, he could only exert seventy percent of his strength.

If Senior Brother Lin still steadily held the upper hand while wearing the Reversed Scale Armor against him and Xiao Yaojin, what if Senior Brother Lin took off the Reversed Scale Armor...

"Yes."

Being recognized, Lin Chen did not deny it and nodded in confirmation.

Hearing Lin Chen’s acknowledgment, Fang Zhan suddenly sighed, "Senior Brother Lin, I am completely convinced."

Convinced without any choice!

Senior Brother Lin, wearing the Reversed Scale Armor, hadn’t even displayed his full strength, and yet he could still overpower him and Xiao Yaojin; who else in all of Liang could do that?

"Both of you need not worry, the Martial Path has its focuses. I only exceed in Qi blood compared to you two, but in terms of cultivation techniques, I cannot match you. If I’m not mistaken, your real strength lies in the late period of refining the viscera!"

In the late period of refining the viscera, martial artists have to start training with weapons, and with your family backgrounds, you must have a great advantage with Spirit Soldiers.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Xiao Yaojin and Fang Zhan’s expressions eased slightly; they knew Senior Brother Lin spoke the truth. Their families’ Spirit Soldiers were passed down generationally, far surpassing ordinary martial artists.

Yet as the most promising generation of their families, before they had even begun cultivating, both had set their grand aspirations to be unbeatable at the same realm and solely relying on their own strength. Now, they had to depend on their family’s help to have a slight advantage.

Proud as they were, to say their spirits weren’t affected would be impossible.

"Senior Brother Lin, I’d like to know how you cultivate your Qi blood."
