"They clearly look down on our Zhenwu Dojo!"

"Then you can let them know their mistake later."

Yi Shuihan wasn't angry about it; it wasn't worth it. To him, it was all like a little game, and he was the player with the cheat code.

Half an hour later, the venue was finally full of people, and there were people next to Yi Shuihan. They were all from small martial arts schools, and Yi Shuihan didn't know them.

Initially, these people wanted to talk to Yi Shuihan and try to establish a relationship, but after Yi Shuihan's cold response, they stopped paying attention to him. Yi Shuihan was happy to have some peace and quiet.

The Xidu Martial Arts Exchange Conference started with some boring nonsense, such as what progress Xidu Martial Arts had made in the past year, who defeated whom, which martial arts school closed down, and which martial arts school opened up.

During this time, Yi Shuihan's Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall was mentioned, but most people didn't pay attention.

"Now we'll move on to a martial arts exchange. I wonder who would like to be the first to go up?"

"I come!"

"It's from the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy. I heard his name is Mavis, and he's quite strong."

Mavis walked proudly onto the ring, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd, and said...

"I am Mavis from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy. Please give me your guidance, fellow disciples."

It seems that Mavis does indeed have a bit of the air of a martial artist.

On the podium, the owner of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy looked at Mavis and nodded in satisfaction.

"I come."

A burly man jumped onto the ring.

"Iron Fist Martial Arts School, Zhang Yin."

After announcing his name, the burly man began his attack. His attacks were wide and sweeping, and anyone could see through his tactics. He was simply relying on his physical strength to try and fight Mavis head-on.

Many knowledgeable people shook their heads, already seeing that Zhang Yin had only gone on stage to show off and had no real skills.

As expected, Mavis easily defeated Zhang Yin in just two moves. However, Mavis gave Zhang Yin some face, so Zhang Yin's defeat wasn't too embarrassing.

"Brother Ma is indeed amazing; I am far inferior to him."

Zhang Yin said this and hurriedly left the stage.

Chapter 931, Zhenwu Seeks War

After Zhang Yin went down, several other people went up to spar with Mavis. However, none of these people were from large martial arts schools; they were all from small or medium-sized martial arts schools.

Although Mavis's strength was considered trash by Yi Shuihan and others, he was more than capable of dealing with these people and easily achieved a 5-game winning streak.

"As expected of a top student from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, he is so powerful that he is not even in the same league as people from other martial arts academies."

"Only Thunder Martial Arts School and Storm Martial Arts School, both of which are top-tier martial arts schools, have young people who can fight him, right?"

"With that skill, you could open a small martial arts school outside."

"Look, the Storm Martial Arts Academy is about to make their move. It's Seven Fang, the Storm Martial Arts Academy's best newcomer this year, also known as the 'Bear'."

A guy who looked somewhat inhuman went on stage, and someone in the audience recognized him.

Qi Fang is said to be human, but in fact he is a werewolf with a wolf's head, about 2.2 meters tall, more than a head taller than Mavis.

This world's Earth is very strange. It treats these guys who obviously shouldn't belong to the same race the same way, as if some force ignores the differences. Anyway, Yi Shuihan will not consider these strange guys as Earthlings.

Even compared to the werewolves in front of them, the Saiyans looked more like Earthlings. However, the truth is that werewolves are considered Earthlings, while Saiyans are aliens.

Upon seeing Qi Fang, Mavis's relaxed expression vanished, replaced by immense pressure emanating from him.

"I must defeat him. If I do, Qiu Ning will definitely look at me differently."

He glanced at Qiu Ning, who was far away in the audience, without making a sound. He was already hypnotizing himself, as if as long as he defeated Qi Fang, Qiu Ning would definitely date him.

"Junior sister, look, that guy is looking at you. I think he's alright-looking, a standard handsome guy. Do you want to consider him?"

"No way! My criteria for choosing a partner is someone at the level of a teacher. What good is it if someone is just good-looking?"

Yi Shuihan, standing next to Qiu Ning, twitched at the corner of his mouth, thinking that if Qiu Ning didn't lower her standards, she would probably have a hard time finding a suitable partner.

As they were talking, the fight had already started on the stage. The two were exchanging blows in a lively manner. Although Mavis was weaker than Qi Fang and not as fast, he was more agile and had better eyesight, so he was not completely without any ability to resist.

"Teacher, who do you think will win between them?"

"Can't you see that? You've wasted your time learning everything."

"I just wanted to see if the teacher's thoughts were exactly the same as mine."

Ah Liang quickly explained.

“The winner will be Mavis. Qi Fang is already starting to lose his composure. He was originally stronger than Mavis, but he was too impatient. On the other hand, Mavis has always been calm. If this continues, Qi Fang will definitely lose.”

"Junior sister is indeed insightful; I think so too."

However, Qiu Ning ignored A Liang's compliments, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

On the stage, Qi Fang finally revealed a weakness due to his overly aggressive attacks.

"good chance!"

Mavis, who had been waiting for this moment, flashed a sharp light in his eyes. He circled around behind Qi Fang and gently pushed him, causing Qi Fang to lose his balance and stumble off the stage.

"You flatter me, Brother Qifang."

Before Qi Fang could speak, Mavis had already confirmed the outcome. No matter how unwilling Qi Fang was, he couldn't change the result and could only stare at Mavis with his eyes.

"Mavis actually defeated Seven Directions, doesn't that mean the Limit Martial Arts School is stronger than the Storm Martial Arts School?"

"That's not entirely true. Everyone can see that Mavis's victory over Qifang involved some trickery; he took advantage of the rules of the arena. If it were a real fight, Qifang would definitely be stronger."

"No matter what, Limit Martial Arts Academy has won, and for a while now, Storm Martial Arts Academy will be overshadowed by Limit Martial Arts Academy."

"Now we'll see if Thunder Martial Arts Academy can defeat Limit Martial Arts Academy."

Everyone looked expectantly towards the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, and just then, someone stepped onto the arena.

"Huh, when did she go up there?"

"I don't know, I didn't notice."

"Who is she? I don't recognize her at all in the martial arts uniform she's wearing."

“I know, she’s from the Shinbu Dojo.”

"That newly opened martial arts gym?"

The person who went on stage was Qiu Ning. She used the Wind God Leg technique, and her speed was astonishing. Only a few people saw her go on stage, but they all thought they were seeing things. It was impossible for a person to be that fast.

"Qiu Ning, why did you come up here?"

Mavis stared blankly at Qiu Ning, his eyes filled with infatuation.

"Enough talk, let's get started!"

Should I deliberately lose to her? No, I can't be too fake here. If someone notices, it might backfire. So I'll just have to let her win as much as possible. Once she realizes the gap between us, she should automatically admit defeat.

Having made up his mind, just as Mavis was about to reveal the truth, he suddenly felt as if he were flying.

It wasn't just a feeling, it was real; Mavis was kicked off the ring right in front of everyone.

"boom!"

He fell to the ground and gloriously passed out.

Everyone present stared at Qiu Ning in disbelief, unable to believe that Mavis, who had previously defeated many people on the stage, including the Seven Fist Bears, had lost so decisively.

"Are you kidding me? Isn't she from a small martial arts school? How come she's so strong?"

"How much strength does she have to kick Mavis so far?"

"Wow, so handsome! This lady is amazing!"

At this moment, Qiu Ning was the focus of everyone's attention, and Zhenwu Dojo entered the world's view for the first time.

"Too weak. Is this what the teacher meant by fake martial arts? It's not even in the same league as true martial arts. I'm so lucky to have met the teacher."

Truly realizing the difference between what she was learning and ordinary so-called martial arts, Qiu Ning felt boundless gratitude towards Yi Shuihan. If she hadn't met Yi Shuihan, she probably would still be one of those ignorant people below.

"Qiu Ning of Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy requests a battle against all the martial arts academy masters. You may all come at me together!"

"..."

After a brief silence came a roaring uproar.

Chapter 932, Zhenwu Arrives

A martial arts school I'd never heard of before suddenly had someone who defeated a student from a top-tier school, and then challenged the school's master, even arrogantly saying they could all come at me at once.

Even though Qiu Ning was very beautiful, and even though she had just defeated Mavis in an amazing way, many people in the audience still glared at her angrily.

"Are the students taught by Zhenwu Dojo so disrespectful to their elders? They are simply misleading and corrupting the younger generation."

"I suggest we kick the Zhenwu Dojo out of our Xidu. They are not welcome here."

"Which senior should step in and teach this arrogant academy a lesson?"

It can be said that Qiu Ning offended most of the people present with just one sentence, especially those self-righteous masters who were not strong enough and relied on seniority to get to their positions.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

At this moment, Zhang Shaohua, the headmaster of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, suddenly stood up and roared. Although he was over middle-aged, his voice was still very loud and could be clearly heard throughout the venue.

Zhang Shaohua's reputation still held some sway, temporarily silencing the audience. Many people watched him excitedly, seemingly eager to see how Zhang Shaohua would teach Qiu Ning a lesson.

However, things did not develop as expected. If it were an ordinary person who dared to say such things in this situation, Zhang Shaohua would probably have given them a good scolding and a lesson.

Unfortunately, Qiu Ning was no ordinary person. Her father was a well-known wealthy man in Xidu, whose status was even higher than Zhang Shaohua's.

Zhang Shaohua's gaze was kind, and his tone was as gentle as possible, as if he were speaking to a younger member of his family.

"Qiu Ning! How is your father's health? Why did you join Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy? If you want to learn martial arts, you should come to our Extreme Martial Arts Academy. If you don't mind, I'm willing to teach you personally."

"Hello, Master Zhang. My father is in good health." Qiu Ning replied politely to the man's politeness. She paused for a moment and then said, "I joined Zhenwu Martial Arts Academy because it is the only place in the entire Western Capital that teaches true martial arts. My only purpose in standing here is to let more people know what true martial arts are."

Hearing the first part, Zhang Shaohua was in a good mood, intending to help Qiu Ning resolve this misunderstanding and strengthen his connection with Qiu Hu. However, upon hearing the latter part, his face stiffened. These words, which also included the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, were a complete sweeping generalization about the entire venue.

So in your eyes, only Zhenwu Dojo is a real martial arts school, and we are all just sham practitioners?

Noticing the expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Shaohua knew this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully, but he still intended to try his best to protect Qiu Ning. So he spoke in Yi Shuihan's direction.

"Who is in charge of Zhenwu Dojo today? Come out and let me see if your so-called Zhenwu is really that powerful."

This is an attempt to shift the main pressure from Qiu Ning to Yi Shuihan.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Yi Shuihan, their eyes filled with hostility.

"This guy is the head of the Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall. He's so young, how could he be qualified to teach martial arts? Look, he's taught others wrong!"

"Pah! Only the martial arts at Zhenwu Dojo are real? That's utter nonsense."

"A young man with no experience is unreliable. Miss Qiu Ning must have been fooled by this young man."

"Kid, do you dare to have a fight with me? I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you."

"..."

A barrage of sarcastic and mocking remarks erupted, seemingly threatening to overwhelm Yi Shuihan. However, Yi Shuihan remained completely unresponsive, even displaying a faint smile on his face.

Do you think Yi Shuihan cares about the words of ordinary people? Yi Shuihan knows the truth better than anyone else. Once these people witness what true power is, they will naturally change their minds. And those who are shouting the loudest now will regret it later.

Qiu Ning looked at the scene with some confusion. She did not expect that everyone would target Yi Shuihan, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She had come to prove the name of Zhenwu Dojo.

Zhang Shaohua was very satisfied with his masterpiece. He was just waiting for Yi Shuihan to be unable to stand it and to come up on stage so that he could quickly and neatly defeat Yi Shuihan. In this way, the reputation of the Limitless Martial Arts School would be further enhanced, and Qiu Hu would also be grateful to him. If he could also take Qiu Ning into his school, it would be a win-win-win situation.

"teacher."

Ah Liang stood beside Yi Shuihan, watching him with great concern. He was filled with anger, wishing he could defeat everyone in front of him, show them how powerful Yi Shuihan was, and let them know that Qiu Ning was absolutely right, and that only Zhenwu Martial Arts Hall was the real martial arts hall.

"A bunch of trash."

The voice was very soft, yet inexplicably it made everyone feel as if it were being spoken right next to their ear, and they could hear it clearly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized that the speaker was Yi Shuihan, and their anger intensified.

Several of those who were nearby had already begun to take action.

"The facts are right in front of you. What you have learned is only the tip of the iceberg of martial arts. You haven't even touched the tip of the true martial arts. Today I want to pass on the true martial arts to the world, but you reject it instead. You are simply foolish."

"Nowadays, people don't know what true martial arts are. With the rampant use of technology, most people think that practicing martial arts is not as good as a gun. This is a complete fallacy. Martial arts have no limits. Practicing martial arts is no less than technology, and may even be much better. Can it make people fly? No. Can technology make people live forever? No. But what I want to say now is that true martial arts can."

"If you master Zhenwu, you can fly, live forever, shatter mountains and rivers with your fists, pluck stars and seize the moon, destroy the world with a single thought, and save lives with a single thought."
