Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 275 - 180: Martial Arts Hall Inheritance

Fang Qingyu: "..."

He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Wei’s face, which was filled with disbelief, and couldn’t help but twitch a corner of his mouth.

Then, in a playful manner, he raised his hand and vigorously ruffled her neatly combed hair, causing the young girl’s head to tilt.

"Shut up."

The visiting crowd, led by Zheng Lin, moved intermittently, listening to explanations and watching the training.

Many nodded frequently, their faces showing interest.

Soon, the tour ended and returned to the foyer.

"Everyone, that’s the end of the tour. If you’re interested in martial arts, want to strengthen your body, hone your will, or even serve the Federation in the future, Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall is definitely your best choice! Sign up now for special opening promotions..." the young woman began her final pitch.

Some people expressed their intention to sign up on the spot, surrounding the front desk to inquire about details. Some were still hesitating, quietly discussing among themselves. Others shook their heads and left straight away.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei stood in a slightly empty corner of the hall.

"Qingzi!?"

A voice filled with surprise and uncertainty came from the side.

Fang Qingyu followed the sound and looked over.

Zheng Lin, dressed in a neat deep blue martial arts uniform, with her hair neatly tied at the back of her head, was quickly walking over.

Compared to the last time they met,

Zheng Lin’s brows carried less carefree frivolity and more of the steady and professional demeanor of a martial hall owner. Her gaze had become sharper.

She carefully examined Fang Qingyu.

She noticed the pallor of his face and the slightly unnatural hint of his left arm, her eyebrows slightly furrowed imperceptibly, yet more importantly, she exhibited the joy of an old friend meeting again.

"Sister Zheng." Fang Qingyu smiled slightly and nodded in greeting.

"It’s really you!" Zheng Lin’s face blossomed with a smile as she walked up a few steps, her eyes filled with concern, "When did you get back? The situation in Songdu... it’s all over the forums, heard you were seriously injured? How are you feeling now?"

"Just came back recently, much better now." Fang Qingyu replied simply.

"That’s good, that’s good!" Zheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at him with a bit of emotion, "Haven’t seen you around for ages. That bastard Qin Hui, he’s gotten quite arrogant now, when we call him back to encourage new students, to show his face, he always says he’s busy, like a Divine Dragon glimpsed but never seen."

Her words carried a bit of complaint but were more filled with closeness.

Fang Qingyu chuckled: "Just happened to have some free time today, came back to take a look."

His gaze swept over the orderly scenes in the martial arts hall, and the slight concern in his heart about possibly implicating the hall was completely relieved.

Apparently, the anger from the martial arts halls in Shangjing hadn’t reached here.

Zheng Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of an excellent idea.

"By the way!" She grabbed Fang Qingyu’s arm, "Since you’re here today, could you do me a favor?"

"Hmm?"

"Show those kids inside a demonstration!"

Zheng Lin pointed to the innermost area of the martial arts hall, separated by thick soundproof materials, where more concentrated shouts and equipment collisions could be faintly heard.

"That bastard Qin Hui, recently he’s been so busy his feet barely touch the ground, we’ve called him several times but he always slips away. These kids have just started on the Observation Method and have learned about the existence of Life Ghosts, they shout bravely, but actually, they’re all beating drums inside, quite scared."

Zheng Lin’s face showed a trace of helplessness and hope.

She forcefully patted Fang Qingyu’s shoulder, her eyes blazing:

"You, show them a demonstration, let them see the landscape above a martial artist, so they at least know what path they’re on, how about it?"

Seeing the unrestrained anticipation in Zheng Lin’s eyes, Fang Qingyu hardly hesitated and nodded:

"Sure."

"Great!" Zheng Lin was overjoyed, pulling Fang Qingyu along as she headed inside, "Come with me!"

Jiang Wei silently followed behind, her small face devoid of expression, though her clear eyes seemed to flash a look of curiosity.

Pushing open the heavy soundproof door, the scene inside was different from outside.

The space was larger, the facilities more professional.

A dozen young men and women around the age of twenty were wearing uniform deep gray martial arts uniforms, engaged in more intense combat training or equipment strength training.

Sweat soaked their backs, their shouts were deep and powerful, their gazes more focused, carrying the sharpness of fearless young calves, yet also showing a hint of tension when facing the unknown.

Zheng Lin led Fang Qingyu over, clapped her hands, the crisp sound immediately drew everyone’s attention.

"Gather!"

With a command from the instructor, the students quickly halted their actions, lined up neatly, and cast curious glances at Zheng Lin and the ordinary young man with a pale face beside her, as well as the harmless-looking little girl next to him.

Zheng Lin cleared her throat, pointing at Fang Qingyu beside her, loudly introducing:

"Let me introduce him to everyone! This is Fang Qingyu! A student who came out of our Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall! He’s your senior brother!"

The students’ gazes focused uniformly on Fang Qingyu, filled with scrutiny and doubt.

Senior brother?

He didn’t seem much older than them, and... his complexion looked not so good?

Zheng Lin wasn’t surprised by their reaction,

a hint of mystery appeared on her face.

Soon these young bucks will know what they are about to face.

If we talk about things they understand...

That’s the fastest record breaker of progress in the martial arts hall, the number one fighter of the hall.

Of course, there are things they don’t understand, like the Candlelight Level medal holder, turning the tide in the Insect Nest by snatching people from a large Profound Life Ghost, hammering a Divine Chosen in Songdu City, and so on...
