Chapter 452: Chapter 426: Foreign Martial Arts Team Comes to China

After a busy morning, Li Chen and Wang Qianqian managed to steal a bit of time to chat briefly, but in the lab, they didn’t dare to get carried away. Even someone as bold as Li Chen didn’t dare to be too presumptuous. These lab folks can be quite blunt when they speak.

If they caught hold of anything incriminating again, it wouldn’t matter much to him, but Wang Qianqian probably wouldn’t be able to stay in the lab any longer.

So, some things would have to wait to be said later.

By noon, everyone started to take a break. Yang Zi turned on the TV in the lab, and the news broadcast came up on the screen.

"Breaking news, a martial arts group composed of Western Europe, Southeast Asia, Japan, and other countries will arrive at Linchuan Airport this noon. Linchuan City’s Mayor and the National Martial Arts Community’s Master Guo Chuan will welcome them at the airport.

Reportedly, this exchange was initiated by foreign parties, and in terms of scale, this is the first large-scale martial arts exchange event. Notable participants include Liu Chuan Fuming, an elder from a prominent Japanese martial arts family; Xiuman Richard, a renowned boxing champion from Western Europe rumored to have swept the Western European boxing scene; Yan Yiwu, a martial arts expert from the Philippines...

These experts are all part of the exchange team. We will bring you live coverage of their arrival later on. Now, let’s move on to the next piece of news."

Zhao Qi watched the news and chuckled, "These foreigners and Japanese devils are asking for it again. Let’s see if we don’t beat them to a pulp this time."

"Exactly, they see Huaxia as the true bastion of martial arts, and they’re always looking to challenge us." Yang Zi also showed some disdain. Martial arts has always been a source of pride in Huaxia, but such challenges were common, though large-scale events like this were a first.

A female colleague commented, "But this time, the other team seems quite formidable, right? Didn’t the news just mention an elder from a Japanese martial arts family, a boxing champion from Western Europe, and a martial arts expert from the Philippines?"

"Ah," Zhao Qi waved his hand dismissively, "They’re just paper tigers. Remember how those Western European Boxing Kings used to come to our Huaxia all the time? And what happened? Weren’t they all trounced by our masters?"

"That’s right, it’s not just about having a muscular body. Martial arts doesn’t just look at physical strength."

Haitang interjected, "Hey hey hey, can you two not be so overconfident, please? I’ve heard that the current national martial arts community is just an empty shell; even those places like Wudang and Shaolin don’t have any real masters. Otherwise, why would there be that news about the Shaolin Temple abbot being embroiled in bribery?"

"That’s a different issue. Our Huaxia has plenty of masters. You’ll see when the time comes; they’ll definitely crush the competition."

Zhao Qi laughed heartily and then leaned in to say, "Hey Haitang, wanna go watch it together?"

Haitang shot him a glance, "Are you trying to chase after me?"

"Yo, the single dog Zhao Qi is actually making a move on our Miss Haitang?" Yang Zi bellowed so that everyone could hear, "Miss Haitang, you can’t just agree like that, this guy is full of scheming tricks."

"Who’s a miss here, you’re the miss, your whole family are misses." Haitang huffed and turned to leave, leaving a dumbfounded Zhao Qi in her wake.

Did she agree, or didn’t she?

Meanwhile, Li Chen was also planning to stop by Lin Yi’s office because Lin Yi had left too early this morning and he hadn’t seen his beautiful wife yet.

With a mischievous smile in his heart, Li Chen made his way to the office.

At the same time, at Linchuan Airport.

A crowd of journalists carrying cameras and recording equipment were making live broadcasts, with beautiful reporters already starting to report to the camera: "Dear viewers, we are currently at Linchuan Airport, waiting for the arrival of the international martial arts team’s plane."

At this moment, though it was the end of summer, the noon sun was still incredibly intense, and just then, an airplane appeared in the distance.

"Here it comes!"

Suddenly, the reporters sprang into action, and both the Mayor of Linchuan City and Guo Chuan were energized.

Mayor Ren, the mayor of Linchuan City, was showing signs of nervousness. In principle, this international martial arts team shouldn’t have come to Linchuan; Yanjing would have been the best choice, given that it was home to the highest concentration of masters. But inexplicably, the team had chosen to come to Linchuan.

Therefore, the responsibility of hosting was a very important task. If things were not handled properly, it could affect the nation’s reputation, so he had to be extremely cautious.

For this reason, he had specifically sought the help of martial arts master Guo Chuan, to avoid any mishaps.

The plane quickly landed, and right away, the airport staff set up the stairs, and several distinct figures began to disembark from the plane.

Leading the group was a Caucasian muscular man with plenty of facial hair, none other than Xiuman Richard, the latest boxing champion of Western Europe.

Next, an old man who looked like a Huaxia native came down, his face full of wrinkles but with a keen light in his eyes, and he walked with agility. It was Liu Chuan Fuming, the elder from the Japanese Liu Chuan family.

The third person to descend was Yan Yiwu from the Philippines, wearing only a tank top and with a dagger tucked at his waist.

Following these three were more people coming down in quick succession, experts from Western Europe and Asia, and there were even African black people among them. Together, they must have numbered about a hundred people.

"Go up and greet them," Mayor Ren ordered the people around him, "Keep the press in check; don’t let them do anything inappropriate."

The government workers immediately went up to meet them, and the journalists swarmed in, cameras flashing wildly.

"May I ask, Xiuman, why did you choose to join this martial arts exchange group?"

The journalist asked the question in English, and Xiuman glanced before responding, "Of course, it’s to blow up the Huaxia boxing scene. I believe that no one in the Huaxia boxing community is my match."

Instantly, there was an uproar among the journalists.

"May I ask Mr. Liu Chuan, did you come this time to retaliate for your loss in the last sparring session?"

Last time Liu Chuan Fuming also participated in a sparring session but ended up losing, so the journalist’s question was meticulously prepared and obviously intended to be provocative.

However, Liu Chuan Fuming just smiled, "Indeed, and this time we are confident of victory. Moreover, I’ll prove that the national martial arts community of Huaxia is inferior to that of Japan."

Again, there was a stir!

Some journalists were indignant: Damn it, who do you think you are.

Another journalist turned to Yan Yiwu, "Mr. Yan, as the Philippines’ newly-risen martial arts expert, did you join the Martial Arts Team to spar for the sake of gaining more experience?"

"No, I am here to crush your so-called Huaxia experts."

Unexpectedly, the third person was just as arrogant, igniting a surge of rage in the hearts of the journalists: Damn, if I weren’t a journalist and couldn’t hit people, I would have ***** thrown this recording equipment at you by now.

On the other side, Guo Chuan smiled slightly, "Mayor Ren, it’s fine, I’ve been through this sort of martial arts exchange a few times."

Mayor Ren nodded, but the tension on his face did not diminish.

Seeing that the other party’s group seemed to have all disembarked, Mayor Ren and Guo Chuan led their group to welcome them.

"Welcome, everyone, thank you for coming such a long way. You must be tired. I have already prepared a hotel for you all," Mayor Ren said with a smile.

Then, Mayor Ren stepped forward, wanting to shake hands with the person in the front, but the next second, his expression turned awkward.

Because the other person completely ignored him, simply walking past him, and was even muttering under their breath, "Damn weather."

The surrounding journalists were again in an uproar. Don’t they have even the most basic manners?

Although anger was brewing in their hearts, the journalists still faithfully carried out their duties.

Mayor Ren hurriedly adjusted his mood and continued to extend his hand towards the second person, but the second person also ignored him.

This time, a twitch appeared at the corner of Mayor Ren’s mouth, as if it had stiffened.

Guo Chuan nudged him on the side and whispered, "Just bear with it."

The surrounding journalists had already started cursing: "Damn it, these foreign devils really are so damn arrogant."

Some journalists were fuming internally and once back at their agencies, they wouldn’t be blamed for their biased reporting. Later on, they’ll lambast them harshly in their articles.

Damn it! It would have been acceptable if it was just spouting tough talk and arrogance, but what is this outright disregard for others, especially since he’s the Mayor of Linchuan, who’s given them plenty of respect?

They had prepared the airport for quite a while to welcome them—isn’t this the height of disrespect?

Guo Chuan and Mayor Ren moved back in front of the group.

"Please, this way." Mayor Ren still had a smile on his face. This martial arts reception was of utmost importance. Anything involving politics required careful handling, especially since this event involved international politics.

The higher-ups also valued this event, with many responsible operators from Dragon Soul involved. It’s just that Mayor Ren did not know where they were at the moment.

The group made its way forward and entered the airport. There, the foreign masters realized that there were many people lining up to welcome them.

Unquestionably, this was specially prepared by Mayor Ren.

Xiuman’s lips curled slightly, and he said to a companion, "The Huaxia babes must be really something. Shall we take a few back to the hotel later?"

His voice was loud, and the translator accompanying Mayor Ren’s group showed a flash of anger on her face. Honestly, she despised these kinds of white trash who came to Huaxia with the intention of chasing Huaxia girls—they were garbage she wished she could trample underfoot.

However, the cheerleaders who were there to welcome them were unaware of Xiuman’s remarks and continued to cheer enthusiastically. Meanwhile, the live broadcast from the journalists was ongoing, with the female reporter continuing to report without interruption.

There were no mishaps inside the airport, and once they were outside, Mayor Ren breathed a sigh of relief. Now it was time to get them to the hotel first.

But just then, a loud voice yelled out, "Somebody stole my wallet!"
