Haizhou City, Phuoc Hai Province.

Wednesday 22nd, 9 a.m.

The entrance of the headquarters of the Fuhai Martial Arts Association.

In the past, it was bustling with activity.

Whether it is a martial artist who comes to handle affairs or is interested in martial arts, there is always an endless stream of tourists who come to learn about or visit.

But today, it's particularly deserted.

Outside the gate of the association's headquarters, there is a sign saying no visitors.

In each location, there are also security guards, who are responsible for blocking the idlers who try to enter the association's headquarters, as well as security checks.

"Quanjiang, Crane Fist Gate He Qi."

At this point,

An old man with gray hair and a gloomy face informed the security guards on both sides of the room.

Hearing the name, the security personnel immediately picked up the computer in their hands and began to inquire about the information.

He Qi was not in a hurry, just stood in place with his eyes closed, looking calm and relaxed.

Behind him, a tall, thin young man in his early twenties.

It's just that compared to He Qi's calmness.

The young man looked visibly nervous.

His gaze looked around from time to time, looking at the martial arts sects that had also entered.

"Offended."

At this point,

Security personnel have confirmed their identities.

He Qi, the master of the Crane Boxing Sect, and He Jiu, the second disciple of the Crane Boxing Sect.

However, according to the regulations, every warrior who enters the headquarters must be inspected to avoid bringing weapons into the country.

He held the testing instrument in his hand and slowly swept over He Qi and He Jiu's bodies.

"Please come in."

After confirming that it is correct, he will give up his position.

He Qi immediately took a step forward and walked forward.

The gate of the headquarters is an automatic sensor glass door.

When He Qi came to the door, the door automatically opened to both sides.

One admission inside.

He Qi subconsciously frowned.

Compared with the coldness and silence of the outside world, the venue is extremely noisy.

This was originally the office hall of the association's headquarters.

But a day earlier, headquarters personnel had emptied most of the facility and temporarily converted it into a temporary site.

In the deepest part of the hall is a long table covered with red cloth, with about four or five seats.

This is obviously reserved for the position of the members of the association's headquarters.

As for the sides of the long table.

Every two meters, a wooden chair is placed for the heads of various martial arts sects.

At this point,

There are more than a dozen wooden chairs on the field.

The heads of the various sects sat in chairs, or chatted with old friends in the neighborhood, and closed their eyes to recuperate.

Behind them were the disciples of various sects who participated in the martial arts meeting.

These disciples had spent most of their time practicing in the sect in the past, and this was the first time they had seen so many martial artists of the same generation.

So it's hard to get a little excited.

After obtaining their master's permission, many people began to walk around to pay respects.

Occasionally, if you can talk to someone, although you may be an opponent, you still don't mind chatting.

It's just that

He Qi also found out.

The dozen or so martial arts halls that have arrived so far are faintly divided into two categories in the hall.

The first type, sitting near the gate, most of the heads of these martial arts sects are drinking tea and chatting, and the disciples are also visiting everywhere.

Among the more than a dozen martial arts sects present, most of them belonged to it.

In the second category, there are only three or four companies sitting close to the chairman's table.

The heads of these martial arts halls just sat on their chairs and closed their eyes.

The disciples they brought with them also seemed calm and relaxed, not walking around like the outer martial arts disciples.

Between the two waves of people, it seems that an invisible barrier has arisen horizontally.

There is a clear distinction between the two sides, and they do not disturb each other.

Occasionally, there are people from small sects like He Qi who come to the city and want to come forward to talk.

will also be pulled by other sects that have just met and whisper warnings.

Or when the martial arts disciples in the second category took a look at it, they turned their heads and didn't dare to touch it.

"This old gentleman, please register here and confirm your participation in the martial arts meeting."

He Qi was observing the situation in the field, and a voice sounded not far away.

He followed the prestige.

On the small table next to the sensor door, a staff member in a suit was sitting.

With a gentle smile on his face, he was waving to him.

"Sign up here?"

He Qi stepped forward and walked to the table and asked.

His voice was hoarse.

It sounds like the sound of glass rubbing, and it's tooth-souring.

"Yes."

"Because we didn't sign up in advance for the martial arts meeting."

"Therefore, all the martial arts halls present need to register on my side first."

"At twelve o'clock at noon, after the registration deadline, I will hand it over to the members of the association for specific arrangements for the martial arts meeting."

But the young staff member was completely unaffected.

With a smile on his face, he took out a form and pushed it in front of He Qi.

"Please fill in the basic information of the sect, the names of the participating disciples and the realm of strength on the form."

He Qi didn't say anything more, took the ballpoint pen and began to fill it in.

When you see the names of the participating disciples and the column of the realm of strength.

He seemed to think of something happy, and the expression on his face was a little smug.

Fill it out with a pen.

Ho Jiu.

Energizing the First Order.

The pinnacle level below entry.

Moreover, He Jiu also cultivated the first level of the breathing method.

With such strength, even if it is not the first in the martial arts meeting, it can definitely be regarded as the top three.

He Qi slowly pushed the form in front of the staff.

He looked at the staff, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

There was even a shocked look in the other party's mind when he saw He Jiu's strength realm.

however

To He Qi's surprise,

The staff glanced at the form, but their faces did not change in the slightest.

"Okay Master He, please take a seat."

The other party put away the form with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to signal He Qi to take a seat.

Regarding the staff's reaction, He Qi was a little unhappy in his heart.

But he only thinks that the other party is not a person who practices martial arts, and he doesn't understand the doorway.

Snorted.

Turn around and walk towards the field.

Seeing He Jiu behind him, he was probing his brain there, cowering.

He Qi was even more angry.

"Put away your unseen virtues for me!"

"I brought you here today to strengthen the prestige of my Crane Fist Gate, look at what you look like!"

Under the reprimand of his master,

He Jiu subconsciously shrank his head.

But under the threat of He Jiu's gaze, he quickly strengthened his chest and straightened his body.

See this,

He Qicai nodded with satisfaction.

It was at this moment that

The glass door opens again.

A sturdy white-bearded old man walked in with an indifferent expression behind him.

Compared to He Qi's newcomer.

The other party seemed to be familiar with the road.

As soon as I entered, I went straight to the small table.

"Xingwu Guild Hall, Li Xingwu."

"Participating disciple, Wu Ran, the first order of strength."

Swish!

Li Xingwu's voice just fell.

He Qi, who was about to walk towards the field, turned his head in an instant.

"It's you!"

He Qi stared at Wu Ran deadly.

There was undisguised anger in his eyes.

That indifferent, as if no one looked down on the face, he would never forget it in his life.

"Huh?"

Hearing He Qi's voice, Li Xingwu turned his head in surprise.

I saw that the other party was staring at his disciple Wu Ran with an angry face.

"He Qi, do you have something?"

Li Xingwu instantly recognized the other party as the master of the Crane Fist Sect in Quanjiang City, He Qi.

Although I don't know why the other party is hostile to Wu Ran.

But as a master, he naturally couldn't sit idly by.

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he finished speaking, He Qi seemed to change his face, and the anger on his face subsided.

"Li Xingwu, you have accepted a good apprentice."

"I hope that at the martial arts meeting, we can bump into each other."

He Qi looked at Wu Ran with a sneer.

Speaking of which,

Without waiting for Li Xingwu to react, he turned around and left directly.

walking,

He Qi's face became more and more gloomy.

"He Jiu."

He whispered to his disciple's name.

"Master, what's the matter?"

He Jiu responded.

He is He Qi's nephew, and he just joined the Crane Boxing Sect a month ago.

Regarding the matter between He Qi and Wu Ran, He Jiu was not clear.

"If you meet that person just now at the martial arts meeting."

"Hit me hard!"

"Killed, maimed!"

He Qi's tone was full of coldness.

Hearing this, He Jiu subconsciously shuddered.

"Disciple understands."

But he didn't dare to disobey his master's will, so he could only nod quickly.

Let's talk about it.

The two of them walked inward.

Be all abroad.

Looking at the back of He Qi leaving, Li Xingwu frowned.

"Ah Ran, what's going on?"

He asked Wu Ran.

"I just woke up and became a qi sense, and I stayed in the Crane Boxing Gate for two days."

"But the exercises in his door are vulgar, I don't like it, so I quit."

Wu Ran said lightly, not taking He Qi's words to heart.

The status of the Crane Fist Sect in Quanjiang was not much better than that of the Eagle Body Gate where Chen Sheng was, and it could not provide enough resources for him to cultivate.

He Qi is not even a person who feels qi.

Just two days after he started, Wu Ran chose to quit, and his words were as direct as today.

At that time, He Qi originally saw him as the hope of the rise of Crane Boxing.

As a result, his hopes were dashed, and the sect's martial arts were even more humiliated by Wu Ran, so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

therefore

When he saw Wu Ran, he would have such a big reaction.

And what He Qi didn't know was that

Before Wu Ran exited the Crane Fist Gate, he also secretly learned the breathing method inside the door.

If he knew this, I am afraid that he would not have almost had a heart attack, but would be so angry that he drove directly to the west.

At this point,

Hearing what Wu Ran said, Li Xingwu not only was not dissatisfied, but also nodded appreciatively.

"That's right."

"Good birds choose trees to perch on."

"If you stay in such a small sect, it will limit your development."

The implication is that

Obviously, he highly agrees with Wu Ran's vision.

Speaking of which,

Li Xingwu waved his hand.

"This kind of small role, you don't have to take it to heart, just concentrate on the affairs of the martial arts."

"If you meet that disciple of He Qi, you can also let him see the world by the way and know what the real strong man is."

As he spoke,

Li Xingwu is full of confidence.

Because he knew that with Wu Ran's current strength, it was definitely not something that the disciples of the small sect could compare.

"Yes."

Speaking of which,

Li Xingwu also took Wu Ran and found a chair to sit down in the middle of the field.

Over the next two hours,

One after another, there were martial arts sects entering.

The number of people in the hall is increasing.

All kinds of things.

But without exception.

These people who came to participate in the martial arts meeting had full confidence on their faces.

The head of every sect felt that his disciple's strength was enough to shine at the martial arts meeting.

Time passed slowly.

The glass door, which has not been opened for a long time.

Seeing,

It will be 12 o'clock until the registration deadline.

The staff sitting at the small table glanced at the time.

11：55

At this time, there should be no more people from the sect.

Thinking so,

He was ready to pack his things and hand over the registration form to the members of the association.

But just as he got up and was about to leave.

The glass door opened again.

"Eh, eh."

"Little brother, don't go."

An old figure with a somewhat rickety figure walked in briskly from behind the door.

"Uncle, are you going to sign up for the martial arts meeting?"

The staff looked at the old man with some confusion.

It was pale and covered in a thick cotton jacket.

After walking these two steps, I was a little out of breath.

And he was alone, and he did not have any disciples to follow.

I can't tell that I'm here to participate in the martial arts meeting.

"Report and report."

"Our master has something to delay, he will come in a while, you report it to me first."

"Eagle Body Gate, Door Master Chen Sheng."

"The contestants are also Chen Sheng."

"Words of strength. You can fill in any one. ”
