Chapter 16: Chapter 14: Renowned in the Martial Arts World Thinking back, Zhao Ziming had actually been so worried, thinking that Ye Feng was bluffing, thinking that Ye Feng was no match for Xu Zhong. But now, in front of Ye Feng, Xu Zhong didn’t even have the courage to fight. Worrying for Ye Feng was simply unnecessary—a realization that made Zhao Ziming feel a wave of embarrassment. "Xu Zhong, Sun De told me I wasn’t qualified enough to take the special certification assessment, tell me, am I qualified enough? If I’m not satisfied with your answer, you’ll take the consequences..." Ye Feng asked indifferently. Xu Zhong had no choice but to feel like Ye Feng was an insurmountable mountain, heavily suppressing him. This gave Xu Zhong a sense of tremendous pressure he had never felt before, making it difficult for him to even breathe. Such pressure, not even his master had made him feel. "Asshole!" Xu Zhong roared in anger, raising his right hand and fiercely slapping Sun De. "Slap!" The crisp sound of the slap clearly reached everyone’s ears. Sun De was slapped so hard by Xu Zhong that he spun around twice on the spot, stars appearing before his eyes. Following that, a burning, seething pain assaulted him relentlessly. Xu Zhong glared at Sun De and cursed, "Sun De, you underestimating piece of trash, how dare you say Mr. Ye isn’t qualified? Mr. Ye Feng, a grand martial artist with Inner Strength, isn’t qualified for the assessment? Then who is, you? You’re just an ordinary martial artist, not even an External Force martial artist, right?" "Inner Strength martial artist!" Hearing Xu Zhong’s words, everyone was shocked again, reeling from the impact. Everyone understood what an Inner Strength martial artist represented. In the martial arts of Dragon Country, reaching the pinnacle of one’s training would eventually lead to External Force. By attaining External Force, one steps into the ranks of martial artists, no longer merely an ordinary martial artist. And within the martial artists, there are three realms: External Force, Inner Strength, and Innate—each divided into early, middle, and late stages. Among ordinary martial artists, out of a thousand people, only one might become an External Force martial artist, and among a hundred External Force martial artists, less than three could become Inner Strength martial artists. An Inner Strength martial artist could almost be said to be one in ten thousand. Known Inner Strength martial artists in Lin Tian City didn’t even exceed five, including Master Zhao from the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall. As for the Innate realm, that was also known as a Martial Arts Grandmaster. To ordinary people, a Martial Arts Grandmaster was almost legendary, unreachable to common folk. Everyone was gaping in shock, some people’s jaws nearly hitting the floor, none having expected Ye Feng to be such a formidable figure—an Inner Strength martial artist. In Xu Zhong’s understanding, only an Inner Strength martial artist could have such formidable strength to defeat him with a single punch. But Ye Feng didn’t care and scoffed disdainfully. In his eyes, let alone a mere Inner Strength martial artist, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster who had reached the Innate realm, what was that worth? "Mr. Ye, if there’s nothing else, may I leave now?" Xu Zhong looked at Ye Feng pleadingly, wishing he could leave immediately. "Get lost!" Ye Feng said impatiently. "Then I’m leaving!" As soon as his words fell, Xu Zhong ran off, disappearing without a trace. After leaving the Practice Room, Xu Zhong’s heart was filled with resentment: "Damn it, Ye Feng, you made me lose face in front of so many people, this will probably spread by noon, Ye Feng, although I’m no match for you, I don’t believe there’s no one who can deal with you!" Watching Xu Zhong flee in a sorry state, everyone remained stunned in place, the shock in their hearts lingering for a long time. Ye Feng looked at Xu Zhong, now can I register for the assessment? Sun De’s heart was filled with reluctance, but he managed to squeeze out a smile and nodded, "You can, but the rules of Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall can’t be broken, if you want to skip levels for the exam, the registration fee of one hundred thousand is still required!" "Send me your WeChat," Ye Feng said indifferently. Sun De hurriedly took out his phone, and then Ye Feng transferred one hundred thousand to Sun De. For Ye Feng, as a war god of Dragon Country, money was just a string of numbers. This time leaving Southern Border, he had brought only one black card containing a hundred billion in deposits. "Let’s start the class!" Ye Feng commanded. "Yes, yes, yes!" Sun De nodded repeatedly. Throughout the morning, everyone’s minds were not focused, the presence of a major figure like Ye Feng making everyone uneasy. Soon, it was time for lunch. Sun De left in a hurry, returning to his office, and he muttered to himself, "Ye Feng, don’t be too smug. You think being an Inner Strength martial artist is impressive? My uncle is also an Inner Strength martial artist, everything you did to me today, I’ll make you pay!" The reason Sun De was bold was that his uncle, Sun Meng, was the second top expert at the Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall in Lin Tian City, a mid-stage Inner Strength strong man. In Sun De’s view, no matter how talented Ye Feng was, at his young age he was at most at the early stage of Inner Strength—not a match for Sun Meng. Thinking this, Sun De muttered to himself angrily, "Examination, exam my ass, just you wait, next week I’ll make sure my uncle cripples you!" After finishing, Sun De transferred Ye Feng’s one hundred thousand registration fee to his girlfriend. "Baby, I haven’t taken you out for a date recently, sorry for that. Take this one hundred thousand, buy whatever you want!" Soon after, Sun De received a message, "Thanks, hubby, love you, muah!" Sun De sneered, "Ye Feng, I won’t even register your registration fee, let’s see what you do then!" And this morning’s incident instantly spread, a post on Lin Tian City’s Martial Artist Forum immediately became hot. "First-day genius at Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall, Xu Zhong, couldn’t lift his head in front of new students!" Within just one morning, this post rose to the top, with comments exceeding three thousand. "Heard that a young martial artist named Ye Feng came to Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall. He easily defeated Sun De, a martial artist with a high-level certificate, and even Xu Zhong, an Inner Strength martial artist, dared not even breathe heavily in front of him!" "Holy crap! That’s so badass, and hey, this Ye Feng is quite young!" "They say Xu Zhong is Lin Tian City’s top 90s martial artist, I think that’s just bullshit. Ye Feng looks much younger, and being a martial artist at such a young age, he’s the real top genius martial artist!" In fact, Ye Feng was already nearly twenty-six years old, only his cultivation was so high that his aging was very slow, he looked about twenty years old.
