Chen Feng answered the phone, and a voice on the other end immediately asked,
"Hello, I'm a deacon from the Martial Arts Guild. May I ask if you're Mr. Chen Feng from the Chosen Martial Arts School?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"We've received a large number of reports and complaints. We seriously suspect that you don't have the qualifications to run a martial arts school and teach students. Moreover, there are suspicions of defrauding students. You're required to go to the Jiangcheng City Branch of the Martial Arts Guild within three days for a qualification appraisal to run a martial arts school."
"I understand. I'll go there tomorrow."
"Could you give a specific time, Mr. Chen? We need to make arrangements on our side."
"Nine o'clock in the morning."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng thought to himself,
"These bastards! When they took my money to issue the certificates, they didn't mention any qualification appraisal."
"Suddenly pulling this stunt now. Could they possibly revoke my martial arts school's license?"
"I spent over ten thousand yuan on those various certificates back then."
However, Chen Feng naturally wouldn't just sit back and take it.
He had also read about the requirements for running a martial arts school.
Actually, there was no requirement for blood qi value to run a martial arts school.
It only required that the martial arts school tutors must have practiced a certain martial arts technique to the seventh realm of martial arts, the realm of Mastery, to be qualified to run a martial arts school and take in students.
And Chen Feng had practiced two of his martial arts techniques to the ninth realm of martial arts, the realm of Unity with Heaven and Man. There was no violation in running a martial arts school.
The person who set this rule back then probably didn't expect that a person with a blood qi value of 0 could practice martial arts techniques beyond the realm of Mastery.
Beside him, Jin Youxi was scrolling through her phone.
Gradually, she noticed that her master had become the hottest topic on the entire internet.
It's just that his reputation wasn't very good.
It had only been half a day since the competition.
Chen Feng occupied the top three spots on all the major headlines.
[Exposed: The Jiangcheng City - level champion was scammed by her previous tutor.]
[The previous tutor of champion Xiao Ruohan is a fraudster with 0 blood qi.]
[The owner of the Chosen Martial Arts School with 0 blood qi only takes in pretty female students.]
Furious, Jin Youxi kept posting comments online, trying to clear her kind - hearted master's name.
As expected, the result was dismal.
For every one of her comments, there were ten thousand scathing replies.
She was instantly overwhelmed!
...
At the Jiangcheng City Branch of the Martial Arts Guild.
Yang Honghui, the branch president, received a call from the headquarters.
"What on earth is going on with that guy running a martial arts school with 0 blood qi?
"Has the threshold for running a martial arts school in your Jiangcheng City become so low?
"You must handle this matter beautifully. It's best to seriously deal with that Chen Feng in front of the whole internet and give the public an explanation.
"After that, write a self - criticism report and submit it."
Yang Honghui quickly replied,
"Don't worry, President. I've already made arrangements for this matter."
"I'll get it done tomorrow."
"At that time, I'll directly broadcast the handling process and results on the official live - stream of the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Guild."
Yang Honghui had planned everything out.
In his opinion, having a person with 0 blood qi run a martial arts school under his jurisdiction was simply the biggest stain on his career.
It was a pity that the person who issued the certificate to Chen Feng back then was a temporary worker and had already been fired.
Now, he must handle this matter openly and in front of the whole internet.
And according to the regulations of the Martial Arts Guild, he would severely punish Chen Feng.
He must send this kid to jail for a few years.
Not only to vent his own anger but also to appease the angry netizens.
To calm this matter down.
...
In the operating room.
Several hours passed.
As it was almost getting dark, the operating room door finally opened.
The medical staff wheeled Liu Weiwei out.
Chen Feng and Jin Youxi quickly stood up and walked over.
"Doctor, how was the operation?"
The doctor sighed.
"I've done my best."
"The meridians in her legs are completely damaged. Coupled with the fact that the injury wasn't treated in time, her blood qi has dropped significantly."
"Her legs are completely disabled. We don't even need to perform the step of inserting steel plates. She'll have to use a wheelchair from now on."
"The patient's current blood qi value is below 100. It'll be difficult for her to recover in the future."
"You need to do some psychological counseling in advance to prevent the patient from having suicidal thoughts."
Hearing that the blood qi value was below 100, both Chen Feng and Jin Youxi felt heavy - hearted.
This meant that Liu Weiwei wasn't even considered a martial apprentice now. At best, she was just an ordinary person with a relatively high blood qi value.
Originally, Liu Weiwei was at least the second - best prodigy in the city.
Now, not only was her path in martial arts cut off, but she was also disabled in both legs and was even worse off than an ordinary person.
It was like falling from heaven to hell all of a sudden.
How could a simple - minded girl bear such a blow?
When Chen Feng looked at Liu Weiwei, he suddenly froze.
At the same time, a voice sounded in his mind.
[Detected a 100% match for the "Heavenly Crippled Kick".]
[Name: Liu Weiwei]
[Note: Once the injury is fully set, the match rate will be lower than 100%, and the qualification to accept her as a disciple will be lost.]
Chen Feng's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.
He was not only happy because he had found another disciple.
He was also happy because he could change Liu Weiwei's fate.
"Next, I'll just wait for Liu Weiwei to wake up and quickly get her to apprentice to me."
"Then I'll obtain another top - level martial art."
On the other side.
At the celebration banquet of the God of War Martial Arts School.
In a five - star hotel in Jiangcheng City.
The school's master, Xiang Jingpeng, personally attended.
"Let's all have a drink to welcome Xiao Ruohan to join our God of War Martial Arts School."
Xiang Jingpeng raised his glass.
Everyone also raised their glasses in unison.
The usually cold Xiao Ruohan also rarely showed a smile at this moment.
The feast in front of her was more sumptuous than anything she had ever seen, let alone tasted.
At this moment, she only felt grateful that her choice was so wise.
If she had still followed the shabby Chen Feng, she would definitely have to go back to the slums in the suburbs to live.
She didn't know when she would be able to enter these high - class places.
Xiao Ruohan's parents were also beside her, extremely excited at this moment.
Her mother couldn't stop eating.
Her father, looking at the wine that cost over five thousand yuan a bottle, couldn't help but have a few more drinks.
After a few rounds of drinking and several courses of dishes,
Xiang Jingpeng got to the main point.
He looked at Xiao Ruohan with a smile and said gently,
"Ruohan, to be honest, I highly value your talent. Our God of War Martial Arts School will spare no effort to cultivate you."
"Our God of War Martial Arts School has one Earth - rank martial art, three Mysterious - rank martial arts, and more than a dozen Yellow - rank martial arts."
"After you join our school, just tell me what martial art you want to learn, and I'll definitely teach you whole - heartedly."
Xiao Ruohan quickly stood up and bowed, saying,
"Thank you, Master. Ruohan will definitely not disappoint you."
Xiang Jingpeng laughed and said,
"Good, good, good!"
"Quickly bring the contract for Ruohan to have a look. After signing the contract, we'll be a family."
Soon, the vice - master beside him immediately handed the contract to Xiao Ruohan.
"Ruohan, take a look at the contract. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask at any time. We'll help you figure it out."
Xiao Ruohan didn't expect to sign the contract so soon.
But she didn't think much about it. She took the contract and was about to read the content.
However, her mother beside her shouted,
"What's there to look at in the contract? Just sign your name."
"Everyone is waiting for you to continue having dinner. Do you still not trust Master Xiang?"
A female tutor beside them also smiled and said,
"Auntie is right. All of us in our martial arts school have signed this contract. There's really nothing much to look at. The content of the standard contract is the same for everyone."
After being persuaded by her mother and the tutor beside her, Xiao Ruohan felt a bit embarrassed to keep looking through it carefully.
So she picked up the pen, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint on it.
In her mind, the God of War Martial Arts School was one of the top martial arts schools in Jiangcheng.
There had never been any reports of contract disputes or unfair contracts.
Moreover, this kind of formal and large - scale martial arts school was far superior to the so - called martial arts school run by Chen Feng, which was just a sham.
It shouldn't set any traps in the contract.
Seeing the contract that Xiao Ruohan handed back, Xiang Jingpeng's smile widened.
"That set of palm techniques suspected to be of the Heavenly Rank is mine!"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
