Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 219: Chapter 62: Lin Chen – My Own Fanboys Speak for Me_3

The scorching liquid seemed like countless tiny steel needles, densely piercing every inch of his skin, followed by what felt like numerous heavy hammers, relentlessly pounding on his bones.

The heart-wrenching pain, compared to which the suffering of bathing in snake monster blood at the Martial Affairs Office was insignificant.

”Hold on, don’t circulate the Qi Blood inside your body, let go entirely...”

Lin Chen’s pupils constricted sharply. Without circulating Qi Blood to resist, he probably wouldn’t last a breath.

After three breaths, Lin Chen mentally prepared himself, clenched his teeth, abandoned circulating his Qi Blood, and in an instant, the hot medicinal liquid caused fine blood beads to suddenly emerge on the surface of his skin.

At this moment, Lin Chen only felt his bones shattering, skin tearing, blood vessels bursting...

His entire consciousness began to blur...

”Kid, hold on, gritted through it...”

Beside him, Zhao Cangsheng was also staring intently at Lin Chen, his expression constantly changing.

He had lied, those noble families could indeed arrange for their descendants to bathe in demon blood, but the pain was nowhere near as intense as this medicinal liquid.

In the special training ground for eight years, eight students had tried, but without exception, they all failed to hold on.

In the past two years, he had been wondering if this path was truly unworkable, if his late friend was wrong.

Youths in the Opening Acupoints Realm simply couldn’t withstand such pain.

”Kid, you’re my last hope; endure this, and the martial path will open up vast opportunities. Even if you don’t take this path, you’ll still have the means to truly compete with those from noble families.”

As consciousness blurred, Lin Chen softly spoke to himself.

”Panel.”

His gaze focused on the Qi Blood section.

[Qi Blood: 342100]

[Qi Blood: 342200]

[Qi Blood: 342300]

...

The Qi Blood values were wildly surging upwards, which also became his motivation to persist.

Progress can divert a person’s pain, especially visible progress.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

After ten breaths, Zhao Cangsheng shouted: ”Kid, circulate your Qi Blood!”

The moment he finished speaking, Zhao Cangsheng looked at Lin Chen with anxious anticipation, holding his breath. He didn’t know if Lin Chen was still conscious, or if he could hear him.

Finally, seeing Lin Chen’s eyes move slightly, Zhao Cangsheng’s face broke into a smile.

”Haha, you did it, kid! Damn it, you finally succeeded.”

Feeling Lin Chen’s Qi Blood circulating, Zhao Cangsheng couldn’t help but laugh out loud, eight years of waiting and planning, and today he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Inside the large tank, as Lin Chen circulated his Qi Blood, the blood blisters on his skin burst inch by inch, revealing the crimson texture beneath.

The ruptured skin repeatedly peeled and regenerated in the medicinal liquid, each regeneration appearing more translucent like jade.

...

...

The next morning.

Lin Chen woke up in the large tank.

Exhausted from last night, once the medicinal liquid was fully absorbed, he fell asleep directly in the tank.

”Panel.”

The moment he woke up, Lin Chen immediately checked his Qi Blood.

[Qi Blood: 398100]

Qi Blood had increased by fifty thousand.

Seeing this number, Lin Chen frowned. The Qi Blood increase was less than he imagined; just bathing in the snake monster blood alone had increased his Qi Blood by thirty thousand.

The pain he endured this time was several times that of the snake monster blood bath, yet it only increased by fifty thousand.

However, as he circulated his internal Qi Blood, Lin Chen’s eyes gradually lit up.

The next moment, Lin Chen jumped out of the large tank and started practicing the Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm on the open ground.

The fierce wind howled, and waves crashed ashore...

After the time of a tea, Lin Chen finally stopped.

He could feel that the power of Clear Wind Palm and Water Cloud Palm had increased again, not only due to the enhanced Qi Blood, but also because the speed of his internal Qi Blood circulation was noticeably faster than before, fast enough for him to clearly feel it.

”Kid, was this hardship worth it?”

Zhao Cangsheng walked out of the bamboo house, smiling.

”Worth it.”

Lin Chen answered resolutely. Now... if he entered the Iron House again, he should be able to clearly see what was attacking him inside.

”Senior Zhao, I plan to try the Iron House again.”

Zhao Cangsheng was momentarily stunned when he heard Lin Chen, then waved his hand: ”Go ahead, remember to come back tonight.”

Watching Lin Chen’s confident departure, Zhao Cangsheng’s old face also wore a smile; after all, youthful at heart.

...

...

Iron House.

When Lin Chen arrived, it was empty; he didn’t mind and directly pushed open the door to enter.

Whizz!

Almost the instant he stepped into the Iron House, the sound of something breaking through the air reached his ears, and at the moment the sound came, he unleashed a palm strike without hesitation.

Slap!

Feeling the impact, Lin Chen leveraged it to retreat, striking again to the left.

In just one breath, Lin Chen had dodged, moved, and changed positions several times, striking twice during this time, a speed not achievable the day before.

After five whizzing sounds, the Iron House finally quieted down, and Lin Chen finally saw what was attacking him.

Five bronze figures!

”Mechanisms?”

Before Lin Chen could clearly see, a gate appeared on the left iron wall, and another bronze figure emerged from it.

In an instant, six bronze figures attacked!

Lin Chen’s pupils contracted, immediately moving his body, but in the confined space of the Iron House, the six bronze figures blocked all his escape routes.

...

...

Bam!

Ten breaths later, Lin Chen was once again thrown out of the Iron House.

The Iron House closed, and Min Huanbo’s figure appeared inside, muttering: ”Good thing I decided to come today; otherwise, with just five bronze figures, that kid Lin Chen might have really lasted fifty breaths, directly meeting the monthly assessment standard.”

”I can accept you increasing the difficulty on him, but if you dare deduct any points, you’d better prepare for me to throw you into a cesspit.”

Just as Min Huanbo was leaving through the back door of the Iron House, he froze upon hearing the words, a wry smile on his face, forgetting that Lin Chen had Senior Zhao behind him.
