Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 276 - 180: Martial Arts Hall Inheritance
Facing dozens of questioning gazes, Fang Qingyu’s expression remained as calm as still water.
He did not walk towards those heavy alloy posts symbolizing power and defense.
Instead, under everyone’s bewildered gaze, he slowly raised his right arm and extended his index finger.
The fingertip aimed at the nearest and heaviest alloy post, its surface exuding a cold metallic shine.
There was no earth-shattering preparation, no hint of a qi blood surge.
Just one calm finger.
"This is, a Martial Artist..."
Fang Qingyu’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was very clear.
It was like returning to when Lin Kang demonstrated the power of a martial artist for him...
Not many words of encouragement were spoken.
Using sheer top-level power to plant a seed in the hearts of these budding minds.
Giving them direction.
To know the scenery at the peak, full of longing.
The moment his words fell!
Swoosh—!!!
A threadlike strand, refined to the utmost, emitting a dazzling platinum glow, shot out from Fang Qingyu’s fingertip without warning!
Fast!
So fast that it surpassed the limit of visual capture!
Like a teleportation, the platinum qi line precisely hit the core, the thickest part of the alloy post!
Pfft!
An extremely faint sound, like a steel needle piercing thin paper.
Immediately following!
Buzz—!!!
That alloy post, as thick as an adult’s waist and capable of withstanding a Breaking Mortality martial artist’s full-force blast, suddenly shook violently!
From the core struck by the platinum qi line, a heart-palpitating storm of extreme sharpness and raging heat erupted invisibly inside the alloy!
Crack! Crack! Crack—!!!
A dense, hair-raising cracking sound echoed like the shattering of ice layers!
The extremely hard alloy surface was instantly covered with countless cobweb-like cracks!
From the depths of the cracks, intense platinum light and dark red tribulation fire glowed!
Boom!!!
It lasted less than a second!
That heavy alloy post representing power and defense, as if packed inside with tonnes of explosives, suddenly exploded from the core!
Countless fragments of alloy, ablaze with dark red fire, with edges flowing molten metal, were violently thrown as if by an invisible force, screaming through the air in all directions!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!
The fragments deeply embedded themselves into the reinforced walls, the floor, even piercing the distant cushions, leaving behind scorched, smoking holes!
The scorching air wave, carrying the acrid smell of melting metal, instantly swept across the entire training ground!
And at the original spot.
Only a half-meter-diameter, more than a foot-deep, molten glaze-edged, scorched black pit remained!
At the center of the pit, a residual destructive aura of platinum brilliance and dark red tribulation fire lingered, steaming softly!
Still!
Deathly silence!
Time seemed frozen.
All the students’ faces that had shown doubt, curiosity, and confusion were instantly hollowed out, leaving only boundless stupefaction and bone-deep fear!
They forgot to breathe, forgot to blink.
Minds went blank.
One finger!
Just one finger!
No contact! No buildup! No earth-shattering momentum!
Just one calm finger!
Blew up the alloy post they could not budge!
Completely destroyed and melted it from the inside out!
Is this... the true power of a martial artist?
Outside the Martial Arts Hall.
The morning breeze was slightly cool, blowing away the lingering heat around Fang Qingyu.
"Let’s leave it here, Sister Zheng."
Fang Qingyu stopped, speaking to Zheng Lin, who had seen him to the door.
Zheng Lin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar young man in front of her, her gaze incredibly complex, with shock, comfort, and a deep sense of reluctance.
She took a deep breath, calming her swirling emotions, and showed a warm smile: "Alright, I know you’re busy. The forum said... you’re going to Shangjing to participate in that ’Hidden Dragon Plan’?"
"Yes." Fang Qingyu nodded, "Leaving in 20 days."
Zheng Lin nodded, her eyes sincere: "Go, it’s a good place, you should explore it! I know you’ll do well! Qingjian is too small, it can’t contain a True Dragon."
She paused, her tone becoming slightly lighter, "Don’t worry about things at the Martial Arts Hall, it’s going well, thanks to you, we almost have too many registrations! Even though Qin Hui is a bit unreliable, he can hold the fort when needed."
Fang Qingyu smiled: "That’s good."
Zheng Lin saw Fang Qingyu’s smile.
Suddenly stepping forward, she opened her arms and gave Fang Qingyu a gentle, warm hug, an act natural yet filled with sisterly care.
"Remember, if you’re tired, you can always come back to visit."
Her voice was light.
Fang Qingyu’s body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, feeling the warmth of the short embrace.
He gently patted Zheng Lin’s back: "Yes, I know. Take care, Sister Zheng."
"You take care too!" Zheng Lin released him, her eyes slightly red, but she smiled forcefully and waved, "Go now!"
Fang Qingyu nodded, not saying more.
He took Jiang Wei’s small hand, turned, and merged into the flow of people on the morning street.
Thus, the unresolved matters in Qingjian City...
Would solve one by one.
