Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 434 - 14: Princess Murong Yan of the Yan Kingdom

Canglan Martial Arts Academy!

The courtyard where Luo Han resides is currently gathering more than a dozen disciples.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Luo, for becoming the third person to refine two viscera among our cohort in the Four Great Martial Arts Academies."

"Only two people from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy and the Capital City’s martial academy refined the two viscera a few days earlier than Senior Brother Lin."

"Senior Brother Luo broke the academy’s record for the fastest refinement of two viscera in the past five years, becoming the first among our cohort of disciples."

The junior brothers were flattering him, but once these words were spoken, the scene fell silent for a few moments.

Even though Luo Han became the first to complete the two-viscera refinement in Canglan Martial Arts Academy, there’s still one peer they can’t overlook when mentioning the first in their cohort.

Senior Brother Lin, Lin Chen!

The scene from the martial arts arena two months ago still lingered in the minds of many.

Luo Han glanced at the crowd, knowing what his junior brothers were thinking. He coughed lightly and said, "The instructor has already informed me that in three days, our Canglan Martial Arts Academy will welcome a visit from the senior and junior brothers of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy."

"Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy?"

Everyone looked curious. Why are the disciples of Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy coming to Canglan Martial Arts Academy?

"There’s always been an exchange meeting between martial academies, but in previous years, Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy usually chose to exchange with Qingyun Martial Arts Academy and the Capital City’s martial academy. It’s rare for them to come to our Canglan Martial Arts Academy."

"Why are they choosing our Canglan Martial Arts Academy this year?" A junior brother asked in confusion.

"That’s because in past years, the three academies looked down on our academy. But due to Senior Brother Luo refining two viscera at the third fastest speed, these academies have changed their views, and that’s why Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy chose to exchange with our Canglan Martial Arts Academy."

These words garnered a lot of agreement in the courtyard; this explanation seemed to be the only one.

"It’s not just our new disciples. In every exchange between martial academies, there are also those from the older cohorts. The instructor has asked me to solidify my current realm, and you all must strive to improve your strength within these seven days, to bring glory to the academy during the exchange."

The exchange meeting is a private exchange between the academies and does not affect assessment scores, but the performance during these exchanges often determines the academy’s ranking in assessments.

Luo Han encouraged his junior brothers with the demeanor of a senior brother.

After everyone else had left, leaving only him and two others in the courtyard, Luo Han’s previous smile disappeared.

"How was it?"

"Senior Brother, I deliberately mentioned to Lin Chen that you have already refined two viscera, but Lin Chen had no reaction."

The other two in the courtyard came to Canglan Martial Arts Academy with Luo Han, all three families being family friends.

"No reaction at all?"

Luo Han’s expression turned cold. Ever since losing face at the martial arts arena, he’d been harboring a grudge, desperate to prove he wasn’t inferior to Lin Chen. His frenzied training allowed him to refine the two viscera in just two months.

Originally, he expected Lin Chen to be shocked upon hearing the news, as Luo Han had stolen his thunder.

"Senior Brother Luo, once you defeat the disciples from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy during the exchange, everyone in our cohort will naturally recognize you as the senior brother."

"That’s right. Lin Chen is merely resting on his laurels from his achievements in the Opening Acupoints Realm, but his performance in the Refining Viscera Realm isn’t outstanding. Eventually, everyone will forget about him."

"I know that, and in these three days, I will conserve my energy and adjust my condition, waiting for the Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy disciples to arrive."

In Luo Han’s eyes, there was a flash of determination. If he could defeat the new disciples from Lingxiao Martial Arts Academy, he would replace Lin Chen in the minds of the new cohort of academy disciples.

Even his two close junior brothers didn’t know that he came to Canglan Martial Arts Academy with a purpose.

...

...

Canglan Peak.

Lin Chen was sparring with Fang Zhan and Xiao Yaojin. This was the thirtieth sparring session between the three of them.

The three of them sparred almost every three days.

"Senior Brother Lin, how did the gap widen again?"

After the sparring ended, Fang Zhan wore a wry smile. He thought that by training with Senior Brother Lin, they could slowly catch up, but after two months, not only did they not catch up, but the gap widened.

"Perhaps it’s because I absorbed more Flood Dragon True Blood than you two junior brothers." Lin Chen replied with a smile.

Xiao Yaojin pursed his lips, knowing that Senior Brother Lin had absorbed Flood Dragon True Blood as part of the conditions given by the academy when he first joined.

But the two of them, in their younger years, also absorbed many valuable herbs, not inferior to Flood Dragon True Blood.

Of course, they couldn’t compare to thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood.

But Xiao Yaojin knew his own limits. Even if he were given thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood, his body couldn’t handle it. Even taking one drop every three days, he could only absorb ten drops before reaching his limit.

Senior Brother Lin’s ability to absorb thirty drops of Flood Dragon True Blood was a testament to his prowess.

Just as Lin Chen prepared to comfort Junior Brothers Xiao and Fang, Jiang Qing’s graceful silhouette entered through the courtyard gate.

"Am I interrupting your training?"

Seeing Lin Chen and the others in the courtyard, Jiang Qing spoke charmingly.

"Sister-in-law, you’re not interrupting. Junior Brother Xiao and I were about to leave. Perfect timing."

Fang Zhan quickly responded, pulling Xiao Yaojin towards the courtyard gate. Since Junior Sister Jiang came to see Senior Brother Lin, staying here would be out of place.

"Let go!"

Being dragged out of the courtyard by Fang Zhan, Xiao Yaojin coldly glanced at him.

"I’m pulling you away for your own good. Junior Sister Jiang came to look for Senior Brother Lin. If we stay here, aren’t we just being a nuisance?"
