Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Despised

"Yes!"

Li Feng didn’t hide anything, after all, there wasn’t much to hide. He was just a bit curious why this white-haired elder approached him to say these things.

Hua Jiufeng nodded.

"Mm, you’re quite commendable. I’m looking forward to your performance."

After saying that, Hua Jiufeng turned away.

"Holy crap."

"Did I hear wrong? What did Elder Hua just say?"

"This person is the chairman of the Century Group."

The people nearby were also a bit dazed. Damn, this crossover is huge, moving from the business realm to the National Martial Arts Circle, which is no ordinary feat.

"Century Group sounds quite famous, I’ve heard of it."

Though the National Martial Arts Circle doesn’t pay much attention to the business world, some people have still heard of it.

"I’ve also heard of it. Just recently, it was a hot topic online, saying that the Century Group delisted and seemingly got split up and sold off."

Some people quickly googled it on their smartphones, and were again surprised.

"This Century chairman is no ordinary person!"

"Hmm?"

The people nearby turned to look: "What’s going on, is Li Feng really that impressive?"

"Even if he is impressive, so what? Our National Martial Arts Circle isn’t the business world, this is fundamentally a different matter. Even if he has money and power, so what? The National Martial Arts Circle values fists."

"Pfft, a live-in son-in-law, a freeloading good-for-nothing...!"

Someone soon found some old news from earlier, and another person burst out laughing.

On the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall’s side, someone also checked the news and couldn’t help but show a smirk.

"Heh, this Li Feng must have failed in the business world, so he came to mix in with the National Martial Arts Circle. But this guy’s thinking is truly unique, does he need a beating that badly that he’d come here looking for abuse?"

A person from the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall showed a hint of defiance.

Even those from the Yue Family Martial Arts Hall who were previously disciplined by Li Feng wore expressions of disdain. If it weren’t on the sea, where they couldn’t maintain their footing, maybe they wouldn’t have lost.

"He’s that Li Feng."

The cute junior sister was browsing information about Li Feng on her phone. Girls gossip much more than men do, and naturally, they wouldn’t miss news trending online.

"But why has he come to the National Martial Arts Tournament? This is completely unrelated!" The junior sister pouted, looking puzzled.

"Rich people’s mindset isn’t something ordinary people can understand."

Nearby, Li Bielang was devouring a steak, sauce all over his mouth: "Junior sister, eat more of this, it’s delicious."

"Shuyao, don’t take such people too seriously. Even if he manages to advance by luck, he won’t last long. There are no weaklings who make it through the preliminary rounds."

Hua Wushuang looked at Huang Shuyao, advising her not to pay too much attention to Li Feng. He originally felt a bit disdainful towards Li Feng, but now knowing who Li Feng was, he felt even more contemptuous.

For someone like him to dare to comment on others.

However, Huang Shuyao shook her head.

"This person isn’t weak. If you think he’s in it just for fun, you’d be making a big mistake!"

"Hmm?"

"Senior sister, why are you speaking up for him?"

"It’s not that I’m speaking up for him, but I witnessed him single-handedly defeating two people, Tan Ziming and Zhou Wushuang."

"Tan Leg Tan Ziming, Tiger Roar Fist Zhou Wushuang."

"Mm!"

Lanting frowned: "Senior brother, this Li Feng should be taken a bit seriously. Tan Ziming is a descendant of Tan Leg. I know him, his leg skills are not weak. As for Zhou Wushuang, who shares your name, I’ve heard a bit about him."

"This person is a bit arrogant, but his strength isn’t weak. At the peak of intermediate force, his Tiger Roar Fist swept through sixteen martial halls."

"Mm, I have crossed hands with them. I can defeat either of the two individually, but together, they’re beyond my capability."

Huang Shuyao recounted her thoughts, recalling the encounter on the school grounds.

Before Li Feng came, Huang Shuyao had actually faced the three of them. Because of her formidable performance, they planned to eliminate her first.

At the time, she did see Li Feng as a lecherous cad. After all, earlier on the muddy flat, Li Feng’s gaze made her uncomfortable, naturally casting him as a scoundrel in her mind.

So after defeating her opponent, she took the token and didn’t turn back to help Li Feng, not considering him a friend.

In that context, her actions weren’t exactly wrong.

But being called a two-faced green tea by Li Feng, Huang Shuyao wasn’t pleased. Calculating it all, although he had a lecherous gaze, he didn’t cross the line, while she did break the agreement first.

As for Li Feng subsequently taking the token, this issue couldn’t be pinned on him either.

It’s a competition, naturally, each gives their best.

"Old Hua, you’re really stirring up resentment here, sticking up for your disciple?"

Hua Jiufeng looked at the bald Taoist opposite him, Cang Yun.

"This Li Feng is a disciple of the Medical Saint."

"Hmm, is he really a disciple of that old Immortal? Are you serious?"

Cang Yun Daoist raised his eyes to Hua Jiufeng: "Now this becomes interesting. As a disciple of the Medical Saint, this kid’s skills seem quite adept."

"Medicine and martial arts aren’t separate. The old Medical Saint is a Grandmaster-level figure. What do you think of his disciple?"

"Tsk, I didn’t expect this National Martial Arts Tournament to bring in some remarkable little monsters. Li Feng seems to be the first one on board, right?"

"Additionally, I noticed many people from hidden families have come for this tournament."

"As it should be."

"The Martial Alliance rarely holds public tournaments like the last two. Normally, recommendations were the norm, so the circles involved were naturally much smaller. The previous one was the first nationwide tournament in Yan Country, a trial run."

"That’s why this tournament is booming. Our Southeast division alone has over three thousand participants. You must know that the Southern martial ethos is weak, ranking near the bottom among the six major divisions."

"In the Northern regions, National Martial Arts families aren’t quite as numerous as cattle, but there are still thousands. Some places are renowned across the nation as martial arts homelands, with the Xingyi Sect, Eight Diagrams, Tai Chi as the Top Three Sects rooted in the North, not to mention numerous second-rate schools like Baji Fist, Qinna, Tan Leg, Hongquan."

"In some divisions, the participant numbers exceed ten thousand."

Hua Jiufeng marveled, saying that many disciples in the National Martial Arts Circle join the military. Firstly, it provides a practical use for Kung Fu, and secondly, Kung Fu, after all, is the Art of Killing, requiring some honing.

Squeak, squeak.

At that moment, a phone vibrated.

"The organizing committee has sent a message."

Everyone at the dining table picked up their phones to check, but most people’s messages were simply ’thank you for participating’. However, eliminated participants wouldn’t be sent back directly; they could still watch the subsequent matches.

The information received by those who advanced was different.

At 7 p.m. tonight, a group elimination match will be held in the Number One Heavenly Court at the center of the cruise ship, and all participants are required to be present for the drawing of lots.
