“We must resolve this issue, whether through kind persuasion or through our best efforts at negotiation,”
Manager Wei’s forehead was already sweating; he had imagined what kind of fate he might face if the matter couldn’t be properly resolved.
Turning his head, with a smile crammed onto his face, Wei Haitao said to a woman in her twenties with willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a very powerful aura, “President Lan, please don’t worry, this is just a minor interlude…
Our Chentian is well-renowned in the industry, having trained numerous elite fighters, including champions at various levels.
Your brother here will definitely receive the best educational resources from our instructors.”
“We’ll see,”
the woman referred to as “President Lan” responded noncommittally, smiling faintly and turning her head to look at her twelve-year-old brother, Lan Xiaotian.
Seeing the boy blushing and shyly stealing glances at the ring, it was almost as if stars were about to light up in his eyes—she resisted the urge to sigh deeply and once again felt a wave of bitterness in her heart.
…
As Du Hongwei stepped onto the ring, he looked at Zhou Ping’an, then down at Dong Mingyue and Sun Tong, who were jumping and cheering below.
It seemed like he understood something.
“My Senior Brother Zhou was obsessed with Xingyi Boxing for half his life, treating our ancestral Xingyi Boxing Manual like a treasure, practicing day and night without achieving fame.
Unexpectedly, he took a disciple before he passed, and the disciple turned out to be so remarkable.
Young man, train with me, and in just three months, you can win the national championship.
Within half a year, you’ll be able to compete with international boxing kings on the same stage and vie for the title of combat champion.
By then, you’ll be winning prizes galore and achieving greatness…”
“Less talk, I only want to know if you haven’t thrown away that Marrow Refining Secret Technique [Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound],”
Zhou Ping’an was growing impatient.
This man before him might have a bit of fame in the fighting world, but when it came to the true understanding of the world, he knew even less than Zhou Ping’an did.
He didn’t even know that some forces have already started to quietly research genetic implants and human body transformations.
Some are even quietly excavating relics to trigger human potential.
Given the pursuit of Master Dong, it was certain that the other party had already obtained some results.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so relentlessly chasing after him.
Without witnessing the results firsthand or having a clear objective, how could they place so much emphasis on the strength displayed by Master Dong?
It clearly didn’t make sense.
This Uncle Master Du Hongwei still clung to the old concepts of fighting.
But he was thinking too much.
Before long, there will likely be a surge of “Devil Muscle Men,” super-body transformation experts.
At that point, the fighting world will truly become a pandemonium.
“No, that hasn’t happened, but the Xingyi Boxing Manual and the Marrow Refining Secrets have been taken by Yao Zhenbang of the Public Security Bureau.
These things are of no use to me and are involved in a murder case, so I handed them over.”
“I see, no wonder you didn’t pay your respects to Master Dong with incense—it’s to avoid any association…”
Zhou Ping’an fully understood the other’s actions.
Uncle Master Du Hongwei was clearly ignorant of the case at General Wenshan’s Tomb.
He didn’t even know that Master Dong had later demonstrated strength that had reached the realm of Dragon’s Chant and Tiger’s Roar, and the Five Organs Thunder.
He still viewed his senior with old eyes.
Seeing Master Dong entangled in legal trouble and then killed, he naturally didn’t want to get involved.
So, to clear himself of any relationship,
he didn’t even attend the mourning…
His approach left little to be commented on.
But his character was too cold and indifferent.
Master Dong was mistaken in his trust, misjudging human nature.
He had thought about looking after the younger generations, but that was wishful thinking.
For some reason, Zhou Ping’an felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
“Very well, since the object is not here, Coach Du, please receive a punch from me as a greeting from Master Dong.”
After saying this,
Zhou Ping’an spoke no more.
His figure pounced forward.
On the ring, it was as if a bloody gust of wind had arisen.
The muffled roar of a tiger vibrated the eardrums of the hundreds of people in the club, leaving them all with a tingling sensation and a slight dizziness in their heads.
Then, they saw the young man on the boxing stage, his figure pouncing forward.
In a daze, it was like seeing a fierce tiger with striking eyes and a white forehead leaping out ferociously.
With one pounce and release,
Du Hongwei only had time to put up a boxing stance in front of his chest.
His arms shattered and broke like straw.
His chest slightly caved in.
His body crashed down more than ten meters away, hit the ground, and then slid another three meters.
Spitting blood from his mouth, Du Hongwei’s eyes were filled with shock: “The true meaning of Tiger Fist.”
“That’s right, it is the Xingyi Tiger Fist that Master Dong is best at, the Fierce Tiger Downs the Mountain Form.”
Zhou Ping’an said indifferently, turning and stepping off the boxing stage.
In fact, no one in the club dared to get on the stage anymore.
Even the elite fighters all bowed their heads and slumped, faces flushed with embarrassment, afraid someone would call them out.
Not to mention those who came to learn boxing.
They looked as if they were mourning.
What happened to the Chentian Club being extremely powerful and well-known in the fighting world?
Casually being challenged and picked on, they couldn’t utter a single retort.
What’s the point of learning such martial arts skills?
To learn how to take a beating?
“Let’s go.
Since the Public Security Bureau took the item, we’ll write a request and get it back.”
Thinking of Yao Zhenbang, Zhou Ping’an remembered the situation when the other party detained and interrogated him.
A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
He hoped that this detective known as “Old Eagle” wouldn’t give him a reason to lose his temper.
…
“Who is that person?
Sister, I want to learn from him.”
Lan Xiaotian clutched his heart, trembling all over.
He felt that the big brother on the ring was simply too cool, too dashing.
By comparison, these boxers and coaches of the Chentian Club, who bragged to the heavens, were effortlessly defeated and looked like complete clowns.
If I could be that powerful, who would dare to bully me at school?
“Um, Manager Wei, about Little Tian’s membership, I need to think it over.”
Lan Fengjiao had seen enough to understand today’s situation and didn’t want to waste any more time here.
The skillful young man from earlier seemed a bit arrogant and difficult to deal with.
But that didn’t matter.
In this world, as long as they are human, they will have needs; failing to get things done just means not offering enough.
Money opens the way, and even deities and Buddhas can be adorned with Gold Foil; she wasn’t worried about getting her brother accepted as a disciple.
[Xingyi Dragon and Tiger Boxing Gym.]
Lan Fengjiao was sure she heard that name clearly.
“Ah, President Lan, don’t go yet, listen to me, we still have…”
Seeing President Lan stride away.
It seemed she was unwilling to stay even for a moment, and Wei Haitao immediately became anxious.
He followed quickly, trotting behind her as he chased after her.
…
“I didn’t expect the Public Security Bureau to be so amenable, they returned the Fist Manual and the Marrow Refining Secrets as soon as we asked.”
Dong Mingyue, holding the yellowed booklets, emerged from the evidence room of the Public Security Bureau’s first division, her eyes brimming with tears.
Amenable?
Zhou Ping’an glanced back, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“It’s good that you could take them back.”
He knew Yao Zhenbang from the first division all too well.
That man would never rise early unless there was profit to be made, but once he set his sights on someone or something, he could squeeze oil out of a stone.
If it had been in the past, such a matter wouldn’t have been handled so smoothly.
He wouldn’t even have gotten through the door.
‘So why has Yao Zhenbang acted out of character?
Clearly, he had received news and avoided us in advance.
Is he unwilling to face me, or does he have other plans?’
Zhou Ping’an felt an uneasy sense of wrongness in his heart.
The more desperate Master Dong used to be in reclaiming these items, the more abnormal the current situation seemed.
Nevertheless, whatever the opposing party’s intentions were,
it was simply a case of meeting force with force, and repelling water with earth.
Just like today’s incident at the Chentian Club, it proved a point.
As long as one’s own strength truly reached a certain level,
even the most difficult and dangerous situations were but minor obstacles, and not worth fussing over.
“Here…”
Dong Mingyue seemed to have already pulled herself together and handed the two booklets over to Zhou Ping’an.
“Senior Brother, are you planning to study the Marrow Refining Secret Manual?
Take it and practice.”
“This…”
“We can’t practice it ourselves, only Senior Brother Zhou has achieved Great Mastery of Muscles and Bones.
Seeing the outcome of Zhang Jianhua and Uncle Master Du previously, it was truly satisfying.
I’ve decided that from now on, you are the Grand Master of Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Hall.
As for the matter of succession, I’ll leave it in your hands, Senior Brother,” said Dong Mingyue with a chuckle.
Having resolved another concern, she gradually emerged from her grief.
Now, she could even smile.
“As for us, after Senior Brother has practiced it, can’t you teach us?”
“That’s true.”
Zhou Ping’an accepted the booklets,
and, after a moment’s thought, added, “Actually, Master Dong later organized some Stance Method and Fist Technique, which are very useful for enhancing the physique.
Once I’ve sorted it out, I’ll teach it to you.”
Ever since they left the Chentian Club, Dong Mingyue and Sun Tong kept staring at him with strange looks in their eyes,
their curiosity was evident.
Zhou Ping’an knew that his performance had been alarmingly impressive.
Perhaps some people could improve rapidly,
but advancing in strength to such a degree so quickly was hard to understand.
If even his close fellow disciples thought this way,
what would others think?
In the eyes of those higher up,
or in the eyes of mysterious powers,
whether they believe it or not,
he still needed to find a plausible reason to explain the rapid strengthening of his physique.
The mirror on his wrist that could traverse different worlds, would forever remain a secret.
Therefore, attributing everything to Master Dong’s sudden enlightenment of the Fist Technique’s mysteries was the best solution.
It was like laying an ambush in advance.
Whether you believe it or not,
I do.
Just as he returned to Chunlan Street, he saw a group of people approaching.
Several men carried an emaciated man with broken legs, his bones jutting out, dumping him on the ground before bowing respectfully.
“My subordinates were out of line and hurt Mr.
Sun before.
Please accept our apologies.
Here is a small compensation of one hundred thousand yuan in this card, I hope you won’t disdain it,” said the fierce tall and lean man leading them as he tugged at his clothes to cover the tattoos on his arm, his face full of feigned smiles as he offered his apologies to Sun Tong.
Sun Tong glanced at Zhou Ping’an and, seeing him nod, accepted the card and pondered, “It was all just a small misunderstanding, I’ve long forgotten about it.”
“Mr.
Sun’s magnanimity is admirable.
We won’t disturb you further, Little Snake will take his leave,” said the man, who came in a rush and then quickly left with his crew.
He didn’t say a word of nonsense throughout the entire exchange.
“They’re from the Poisonous Snake Society, that tattooed lead is known as King Snake in the Eastern City District,” Zhou Ping’an mused.
Thinking back to his previous encounters in the first division of the Public Security Bureau, and the current behavior of the Poisonous Snake Society,
he was even more certain of some things.
“These next few days, I’ll be in seclusion to practice the Marrow Cleansing Technique and will be at the People’s Hospital the whole time.
If anything comes up, give me a call.”
“Also, Senior Brother, could you discreetly investigate the recent activities of the Poisonous Snake Society?
Try to be as inconspicuous as possible, we don’t want them to notice,” he said.
The more the enemy retreated and contracted,
the more it indicated they harbored means that must not be brought to light.
Master Dong was already gone.
The scenario where both the underworld and law enforcers united to attack still vividly lingered in his memory.
To believe that the hidden forces would turn hostility into harmony,
would be like treating him as a naïve child.
“However, no matter how intricate and deceptive the schemes are, as long as I’m strong enough, any sort of plot or trick becomes insignificant,” he thought.
Zhou Ping’an parted ways with Dong Mingyue and Sun Tong,
and didn’t head for the third division.
Since he was still on vacation, he planned to edit the footage from the recent challenge and prepare the text to accompany it.
It was time to gain some followers for his video account.
With the “Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound” Marrow Refining Technique in hand, he could make rapid progress in the slow-moving Marrow Cleansing Realm.
As for other matters, they could wait.
Once he survived the seven days and re-entered the Different World, he would use the vast quantity of elixirs to boost his strength further.
The current threats would then no longer pose a menace.
