Chapter 29: Trouble Breaks Out in the Martial Arts School; Ding Wei Challenges the Martial Arts Scho

"Master, something terrible has happened! The martial arts troupe is in trouble too!"

The messenger explained that a highly skilled martial artist had come to challenge them, and that no one in the martial arts world could defeat him.

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang'an's expression changed drastically; someone was trying to harm the Ji family.

Ji Lin seemed to be deep in thought. First, there was the attack from the Pseudo-Immortal Sect, and now someone is trying to sabotage the Ji family's property. There's also the unclear relationship between his third uncle's lineage and the Li family. These repeated attempts to cause trouble suggest that this matter is not simple.

Ji Chang'an left a few people to clean up the scene, and then he, Ji Lin, and Ji Changshou headed to the martial arts troupe in the west of the city.

The gates of the Ji Family Martial Arts School were wide open, and various weapons were laid out on both sides of the courtyard. Several martial artists lay on the ground, and a dozen apprentices watched from behind. Even Master Wang, who was in charge of teaching, had been injured.

Master Wang is a top-tier martial arts master in Xiong'an County, and he is almost unbeatable in the city. Today is probably the first time he has been injured since he entered the martial arts world.

Ji Lin noticed that Ji Changming had also brought people here, as if he had known all along what was going to happen.

A burly man stood with his back to the door in the center of the courtyard, his voice booming:

"Haha, everyone says that Master Wang is the best fighter in Xiong'an County, but I think he's nothing special!"

Ji Lin used his Insight skill to view this person's information:

[Martial Arts Master: Ding Wei]

[Level: Grandmaster]

[Martial Arts: Fierce Tiger Fist]

He was quite surprised that another grandmaster had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and this person was clearly looking for trouble, but he didn't plan to make a move yet.

Let's see what these people are really up to, let them finish their act, and then we'll know their true intentions.

Ding Wei gave a slight bow: "Gentlemen, I come from the prefectural capital. I've been itching to show off my skills lately, and I was just passing through looking for someone to spar with. Please don't take offense, but your skill level is really not that great!"

"Insolence! How could the Ji family tolerate such an insult from you? Guards, get him!" Ji Changming shouted.

Then a master martial artist stepped forward, slightly clasped his hands, and began his attack.

"please!"

"please!!"

The two seemed to be giving it their all, exchanging blows and fighting fiercely, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

However, after a dozen or so rounds, the master martial artist actually defeated Ding Wei.

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, while simultaneously criticizing Ding Wei.

Ji Changming managed to salvage some face for the Ji family's martial arts troupe. As the strongest martial arts troupe in Xiong'an County, they absolutely could not be defeated.

But the real show was yet to come. Ding Wei suddenly knelt down and said:

"I was blind to your greatness, Lord Ji. Please take me in; I am willing to serve under you!"

Ji Changming laughed loudly, "Hahaha, good, you're smart to know what's good for you. From now on, you'll follow me!"

false!

That's so fake!

Ji Lin felt extremely embarrassed, simply because he had a system that allowed him to see the difference in strength between the two.

The others, however, believed it to be true. The acting was excellent, and the two fought spectacularly, truly impeccable.

"Big brother is here too. It's alright now, I've taken care of things here. It's nothing." Ji Changming said, cupping his hands in greeting as he saw Ji Chang'an arrive.

Ji Chang'an paused for a moment, then said, "Brother Changming, you did a good job."

"However, isn't Master Wang getting old? Shouldn't we replace him?" Ji Changming's lips curled up slightly.

This man is finally about to reveal his true colors. Relying on the backing of a Grandmaster, he begins to seize family property.

"Change the player, change the player again! You're not the first person to tell me about changing players. Fine, who do you want to change?" Ji Chang'an glared angrily.

Ji Changming smiled slightly: "Is that even a question? Whoever is the best fighter will be the one to replace you! Don't you all agree?"

"right!!"

"Change the player!! Change the player!!"

The group of apprentices behind them shouted, "We didn't dare to say a word when someone came to challenge us earlier, but now we're speaking so righteously!"

They paid tuition to come here to learn martial arts, so they naturally have the right to speak.

"Who's the best fighter here?" Ji Lin suddenly asked.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Just as Ji Changming was about to speak, Ji Lin interrupted him and continued, "Let him have another competition with Master Wang."

Although Master Wang suffered some minor injuries, he seemed to be in good condition. A top-level martial arts master is still top-level; no Tom, Dick, or Harry can try to extort money from him.

"Lin'er, look, you're talking nonsense again. Master Wang has already lost, is there any need to continue?" Ji Changming's voice was a little weak.

"Yes, if you want to change people, you have to go through the process of dealing with the current master first," Ji Lin said.

The scene fell into a deathly silence; everyone's mind seemed to have gone blank.

Ding Wei beat Master Wang, so whoever beat Ding Wei must be the strongest? Is there even a need for a comparison?

I understand the logic, but Ji Lin is right too; I need to exchange blows with my current master before I can truly defeat him.

But when everyone looked at Ji Changming, he remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, the martial arts master clutched his stomach and said, "Ouch, my stomach hurts terribly. I can't fight any more today. I request to go back and rest."

Ji Changming waved his hand and said, "Go!"

"Well then, Ding Wei is now considered a member of the Ji family, so having him replace Master Wang should be more than enough."

"Big Beard, get down here!" Ji Lin shouted.

Suddenly, another burly man jumped down from the tree with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. He was wrapped up tightly and was at least two meters tall.

The awakened members of the night patrol would dress up like Tang Wu when carrying out their missions during the day, so as not to frighten the people with their demonic bodies.

"I also have someone here who is highly skilled in martial arts. I wonder if he could challenge this Master Ding?"

Ding Wei nodded to Ji Changming, indicating that he was okay.

"Alright! Let's have a competition!" Ji Changming said.

If the martial arts instructors were replaced by someone from the Third Uncle's lineage, their arrogance would likely increase even further. In that case, it would be difficult to even protect other businesses, let alone allocate manpower.

Ji Lin cannot manage the Ji family through mere military suppression. To win people's hearts and minds, he ultimately needs to use reason.

Otherwise, the entire Ji family will fall apart, greatly weakening its power.

Now that they've started causing trouble, it's given Ji Lin a perfect excuse, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to take over the martial arts world.

Huang Yu and Ding Wei exchanged a glance, and without exchanging greetings, they eagerly began to fight.

Huang Yu swung his sword first, using the skill [Demon Form - Vertical and Horizontal Slash].

Ding Wei's hands were as strong as steel; he crossed his arms and directly blocked the giant sword.

As soon as Huang Yu sheathed his sword, he immediately swung out an iron fist, an attack as fierce as a tiger, aiming a punch at Huang Yu's face.

He blocked with both hands using the blades of his sword, and the iron fist struck the greatsword with a loud "thud!"

Huang Yu swung his sword several times in succession, but Ding Wei blocked them all with his arms.

It seems that Ding Wei's physical body is terrifyingly strong. In terms of physique alone, he has already touched the threshold of transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood, which is close to 50 points of physique. In addition, his arms, which have been tempered with secret medicine, are probably worth even more.
