Chapter 291 Is This Your Best Effort?
“Kill me here?”
Chen Bo laughed maniacally as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, “Very well, then I’d like to see how you’re going to kill me here. Aside from Qin Sihai, even Zhang Ju is no match for me; what are you compared to them?”
Angered over his beloved being taken by someone else, Chen Bo had long lost his rationality, completely forgetting the peace agreement of Taoyuan County, and threw a punch at Li Qianfan.
This punch came fiercely with extreme power.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh… The sound of the wind breaking emerged as bursts of strength emanated from Chen Bo’s fist.
“A Fifth Rank Martial Artist!”
Feeling the aura emanating from Chen Bo, Ye Ling’er’s face showed a look of shock. The last time she saw Chen Bo, he was still a Fifth Rank Martial Artist, and she did not expect that in such a short time, he had already advanced to a Sixth Rank Martial Artist; such a rapid breakthrough was incredible.
A Sixth Rank Martial Artist??
In the eyes of ordinary people, this level of martial artist was indeed fast.
But in the eyes of Li Qianfan, a ‘Fifth Level Qi Cultivator’, it was just a slightly stronger ant.
The fist arrived rapidly.
With a thought, Li Qianfan swiftly raised his palm and tightly gripped the incoming fist, spreading strands of True Qi that instantly neutralized Chen Bo’s brute force.
Hmm??
Seeing his punch so easily neutralized, surprise flashed across Chen Bo’s eyes. As he tried to withdraw his fist, he found that it was locked tight as if in a vise; using all his strength, he still couldn’t free himself from Li Qianfan’s grip.
What tremendous strength!
For a moment, Chen Bo’s expression turned serious; he quickly raised his left fist and lashed out at Li Qianfan again.
With a bang, just like before, the left fist was also securely caught by Li Qianfan.
“Is this all the strength you’ve got?”
Li Qianfan tightly held Chen Bo’s fists and showed a look of disdain, “Weaker than I imagined. What makes you so arrogant?”
These words brutally scraped against Chen Bo’s dignity. He wanted to thoroughly beat Li Qianfan in front of Ye Ling’er, but the overpowering strength of his opponent restrained him from making any further moves, as he firmly believed that Li Qianfan could crush his fists at any moment.
“Qianfan, Ling’er, what are you guys doing? The meeting is about to start. Hurry up!”
Just then, a puzzled voice came from not far away.
Upon hearing this, the three of them looked over and saw Zhang Ju, Zhao Tianjie, and a group of about seven or eight people standing at the doorway, all looking their way.
Suddenly, Chen Bo calmed down, and a look of apprehension appeared on his face. If Zhang Ju and Zhao Tianjie were to find out that he initiated a fight at the entrance of the Four Seas Martial Pavilion, given their personalities, they would surely thrash him without hesitation, especially Zhang Ju, who had suffered under him before and would definitely want revenge.
Although he now did not fear a wounded Zhang Ju, being at the doorstep of someone else’s martial arts school, outnumbered and outmatched, he would surely be at a disadvantage.
Ye Ling’er, quick-witted, saw the fear in Chen Bo’s heart and waved immediately at Zhang Ju and Zhao Tianjie, saying, “We are just chatting with a friend. You guys go ahead; Qianfan and I will be right there.”
“Ok, we’ll go ahead then!”
Zhao Tianjie didn’t think too much and responded, leading his people into the martial arts school.
Once everyone had left, Ye Ling’er said to Li Qianfan, “Qianfan, let him go.”
Li Qianfan chuckled, “I’m worried that if I let go, he’ll hit me again.”
Ye Ling’er looked at Chen Bo and said, “Chen Bo, you should be aware of what would happen if Zhang Ju and Zhao Tianjie knew you started a fight here. Even though you’ve reached a Sixth Rank Martial Artist, you would not be able to face so many. I am asking Li Qianfan to let you go; please stop making any more moves, alright?”
“Fine, no more fighting!”
Chen Bo agreed readily.
Setting aside the departed Zhang Ju and Zhao Tianjie, just the presence of Li Qianfan could keep him stranded in South Gate.
Soon, Li Qianfan released Chen Bo.
Once freed, Chen Bo immediately shook his numb fists, deeply stunned as he assessed Li Qianfan. So young, yet so powerful; where did the Four Seas Martial Pavilion dig up such a gem? It seemed that Ye Ling’er was right; the pavilion had indeed found its successor to Zhang Ju.
“Chen Bo, I hope you won’t come looking for me again. Even if the Arrogant Dragon Martial Arts School and the Su Family want to flip the table and tear off their masks, I will not leave the Four Seas Martial Pavilion. In my view, even if the strong men of the Su Family are forceful, they don’t have the capacity to become public enemies, you better leave soon.”
With that, Ye Ling’er pulled Li Qianfan by the hand and left.
Watching the two leave, Chen Bo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, “Stupid woman, what does it matter if you become public enemy in the face of absolute power? You have no idea what a true strong person is… And you, Li Qianfan, you little brat, you’d better not become a university instructor because I will make you disappear from this world!”
…
On the way to the Four Seas Martial Pavilion.
Ye Ling’er looked at Li Qianfan with concern and said, “Qianfan, we will start our roles as instructors at the school tomorrow, and coincidentally, Chen Bo will be there too. Once at the school, you must be cautious. This guy is narrow-minded and will surely find a way to take revenge after a setback.”
“It’s fine. I tested him just now. His strength is not to be feared!” Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
Li Qianfan said nonchalantly.
Ye Ling’er suddenly stopped, looked at Li Qianfan seriously, and said, “Qianfan, you can’t be careless. Chen Bo just mentioned that a strong person has emerged from the Su Family in East Gate. They are even planning to dominate the whole of Taoyuan County. If that strong person takes action, you might be in danger. It’s better not to get into too much conflict with him.”
“I heard him say that. He also said they plan to take down our South Gate first.”
Confusion spread across Li Qianfan’s face as he said, “Is our South Gate really that weak? Why target South Gate first?”
“Actually, our South Gate is not the weakest, but I heard from the pavilion master that the Green Dragon Gang in our South Gate is facing severe internal issues. It’s said that the gang leader has been missing for a long time and some people with ulterior motives are planning to usurp power!”
“What the pavilion master is most afraid of is that the person planning to usurp power has connections with East Gate. If that’s true, then our South Gate is really in a big trouble!”
Ye Ling’er sighed and said.
“South Gate gangs…”
Li Qianfan pondered for a moment, then suddenly recalled that Hong Jiumei’s stepmother is the leader of the Green Dragon Gang, and she has been missing for a long time.
Who could be the usurper?
Could it be Brother Wolf?
That doesn’t seem right. Whenever Hong Jiumei has a problem, she goes to Wu Lang for solutions, and it’s evident that Wu Lang takes his responsibilities towards the gang seriously.
If there truly is someone attempting to usurp power within the Green Dragon Gang, he must urgently inform Hong Jiumei and Wu Lang to find this person quickly; otherwise, big trouble could arise.
However, Li Qianfan didn’t make a fuss about this issue and instead chuckled, “Ling’er, you needn’t be too worried about this matter. Our pavilion master Qin and the gang members won’t just watch East Gate harm us blindly.”
Ye Ling’er nodded and said, “Yes, I believe in them!”
Soon, the two entered the pavilion and reached the conference room, where they found the two instructors assigned for the university already there.
Besides Zhao Tianjie, there was a man in his thirties.
Li Qianfan had some memory of this man, who seemed to be called Tang Long, a Fourth Rank Martial Artist who had participated in several competitions but never achieved great success, being a martial artist of average talent and not particularly noticeable among the instructors.
After a brief greeting, they all took their seats.
“Fan, have your eyes got better?”
Zhao Tianjie hadn’t seen Li Qianfan for a while, and seeing that his eyes were bright and spirited, surprise bloomed on his face.
Li Qianfan nodded, “Yes, my eyes have gotten better.”
Zhao Tianjie, thrilled, said, “That’s wonderful! You were already so strong, and now with your improved eyesight, aren’t you even stronger?”
Tang Long, being a man of few words, also extended his well-wishes upon learning of Li Qianfan’s recovery.
Li Qianfan accepted their blessings and thanked them.
Since it was the first time for Li Qianfan and Tang Long to be instructors, they had many questions and continuously sought advice from Ye Ling’er and Zhao Tianjie.
As the four chatted, Qin Sihai walked in, and they immediately fell silent.
Actually, the content of this meeting was quite simple, primarily reminders of things to be mindful of when being instructors. Ye Ling’er and Zhao Tianjie, being experienced instructors, didn’t take it too seriously, even showing a bit of annoyance towards Qin Sihai’s verbosity.
“Focus, everyone. This year’s military training is a bit different from before.”
Seeing that they were somewhat distracted, Qin Sihai sternly said, “This year’s military training has added a new exercise, and you must fully commit to it. Should there be any accidents, it would be a major embarrassment for our pavilion.”
“Pavilion master, what’s the new exercise?”
Ye Ling’er and Zhao Tianjie looked at Qin Sihai curiously and asked.
