Chinese martial arts! Grandmaster

Chapter 118 The number one warrior—Yan Kuangtu!

Wow——!
Throughout the Hengyang University Sports Center, applause rang out like a tsunami.

The audience shouted and screamed excitedly.

Bravo!

The final of the Hengyang Martial Arts Selection Competition.

Chen Jie KO'd Fan Zhidong in three seconds, breaking his own record of the fastest KO in five seconds.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely boiling at this moment.

"Classic! This boxing match will go down in the history of Hengyang martial arts."

"Too awesome! Knocking out Fan Zhidong in three seconds, I can't even imagine it."

"Shit! I didn't see it clearly at all. In the blink of an eye, the fight was over."

"A welterweight boxer knocks out a heavyweight in three seconds. Can you imagine that?"

"Chen Jie is a substitute! Damn - this is really eye-opening!"

"—"

this moment,
The atmosphere in the entire sports center was completely explosive.

Almost all the audience stood up, shouting and screaming.

The boxing match has just begun.

No one expected it to be over in just three seconds.

Fan Zhidong was kicked and flew away. He fell to the ground, howling in pain.

Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they saw.

The final!
Damn it—it was over in three seconds.

And it ended in such a brutal way, so powerful and overwhelming.

Not only the audience was confused, but also the referee in the ring had a buzzing head.

He had no idea what had just happened.

After the bell rang.

He only saw Fan Zhidong burst into attack in an instant, kicking forward with one leg and fiercely.

Immediately afterwards——

Fan Zhidong flew backwards and lay on the ground wailing in pain.

Didn't see it clearly!
That's right,

The referee on the scene was too close and I really couldn't see clearly.

in fact,

If we were to say who was the most painful, the most aggrieved and the most uncomfortable person, it would definitely be Fan Zhidong who was lying on the ground.

He wanted to cry——!
Three seconds!

Chen Jie knocked out Fan Zhidong with a side kick and ended the boxing match.

After checking for a moment, the referee on the field quickly asked the doctor to enter the ring.

Fan Zhidong is injured!

His abdomen was hit violently, and he was shaking with pain all over and couldn't get up at all.

The staff quickly used a stretcher to send Fan Zhidong to the hospital for detailed examination.

After the boxing match, the award ceremony will follow.

Although Chen Jie was very happy when he won his first professional boxing championship trophy, he did not seem too excited.

With his strength, he can't even win a city martial arts selection competition.

How can he be considered a true disciple of Chuojiao Sect?

After the award ceremony, there was an interview with the city TV station.

Chen Jie declined the interview and let the two museum owners, Wang Chuxiong and Zhang Changming, take the spotlight.

Wang Chuxiong hasn't been as excited as he is today for a long time.

It is exciting that Elite Martial Arts School won the championship of this year's HY City Martial Arts Selection Competition.

of course,

This was a boxing match sponsored by the Municipal Martial Arts Association, not a commercial boxing match. Even if you won the championship, you would only receive a reward of 50,000 yuan.

Since Chen Jie won the championship in the end, the other four boxers from the Elite Martial Arts School who participated in the competition all received rewards.

in fact,

For elite martial arts schools, money is not the most important thing; the key is the honor of being the champion.

This is related to the comprehensive ranking of the elite martial arts school in the Hengyang martial arts world.

Chen Jie doesn't care much about these things.

He was not even bothered to pay attention to the rankings of the major martial arts schools in HY City.

To his surprise, Gong Li did not show up after winning the final.

It seems that this meritorious coach of the elite martial arts school headquarters has fulfilled his promise and returned to the Changsha headquarters.

After the boxing match, Chen Jie said goodbye to Wang Chuxiong and did not return to the Elite Martial Arts School. Instead, he went directly to his own chemical plant warehouse in the suburbs.

-

Inside the warehouse of a chemical plant.

In order to conceal his tracks, Chen Jie specially prepared a room for accommodation.

Before he entered the warehouse, he greeted the security guard and told him that he would stay in the warehouse for two days and not to let anyone disturb him.

After opening three iron doors in succession, Chen Jie arrived at the innermost warehouse.

Inside were the things he was going to move, and he had already tried out the amount of [Martial Arts Merit Points] required for each item.

Gasoline silent generator set: 1 set (10000 points);

Gasoline: 1 ton (1000 points);

Silver Dollars: 5 (5000 points);

High-simulation electric shock boxing gloves: 1 pair (1000 points);

Titanium Alloy Chain Mail: 1 set (1000 points);

Imitation Miao Dao: 50 pieces (500 points);

A large bag of tools and supplies including lighters, mechanical watches, wires, sockets, etc. (526 points);

The rice cannot be transported over at the moment because there is not enough space. We need to build a warehouse in the "other world".

The things he was currently moving did not take up much space and could be placed in his own residence.

After checking.

Then, a long-lost desolate voice sounded in his mind:

[Consume 19026 martial arts merit points! ]

[The Blood Dragon Jade has been activated, opening the door to the Martial Saint]!
hum!
As the red light enveloped all objects in the area his hand touched.

In an instant,
He and all his belongings disappeared into the 'Martial Saint Gate'!
After the dizziness, Chen Jie opened his eyes and returned to the house on Ximen Street in the "other world".

at this time,

The remaining [Martial Arts Merit Points] displayed on the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind was 19900 points.

Looking at the 'silent gasoline generator set' and gasoline in front of him, Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, in terms of performance, diesel generators are more powerful.

However, diesel generators are a bit loud, easily produce black smoke, and are relatively troublesome to maintain.

Therefore,
In order to save trouble, Chen Jie directly got a "gasoline generator".

Consumed 10,000 points of [Martial Arts Merit Points].

In this world, life will be much more convenient with electricity.

After putting everything away, Chen Jie looked up at the sky.

It’s almost dawn!

This time he stayed there for more than ten days, and more than a day passed in the 'other world'.

Ximen Hall has recruited more than a hundred people, but Chen Jie has not yet visited them.

-

Ximen Street, east of Chenghuang Temple.

A camp was established.

Thousands of acres of land in the surrounding area were bought by Ximen Tang.

In the middle of the square of the camp, a brand new flag fluttered in the wind.

Simon Hall!
The three big characters on the flag are very impressive.

Liu Qi, Xue Qian, Wan Jinpeng, Zhang Dezhi and others were standing under the banner of "Ximen Hall" at this moment.

Ximen Tang 'righteous group' was established!
Chen Jie looked up and said in astonishment, "Liu Qi, is this the elite you told me about recruiting?"

Liu Qi had told him before that Ximentang had recruited hundreds of elites, all of whom were refugees who had served in the military.

Moreover, most of them were remnants of soldiers who had fled from the coastal areas and had lost their numbers.

They are indeed remnants of the army!
Chen Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath and was completely speechless.

How can this be called elite?
They are clearly a bunch of defeated soldiers.

Among the more than one hundred recruits, half of them are injured. What the hell should we do?
“Brother, I——!”

Liu Qi smiled and said, "They are really elites. Our Ximen Hall's 'righteous group' has just been established, so we will naturally not easily recruit people without martial arts skills."

"These people have all served in the military and are quite skilled in martial arts. Even the weakest of them have already reached the 'entry level of meridian cleansing'!"

"Although they are somewhat injured, they are only superficial wounds. Once they recover, they will definitely be strong warriors!"

"I've tested them. They are all elite soldiers who have seen blood and fought on the battlefield!"

"There are a few who are very skilled in martial arts, better than me!"

finished,

He carefully leaned close to Chen Jie's ear and whispered:

"Brother, actually, I never thought of recruiting these injured people before."

"But I fought with their leader, a guy called Yan Kuangtu, and I lost!"

"According to the agreement before the competition, I have to recruit these wounded soldiers together."

"Now what do we—do?"

Looking at Liu Qi's expression, Chen Jie was completely speechless.

Originally, he thought that Liu Qi had recruited a group of brave and combative soldiers for Ximentang.

did not expect,
It turned out to be a group of remnant soldiers.

However, Chen Jie knew in his heart that the fighting situation in the coastal areas of the Daqian Dynasty was intense and many troops had been wiped out.

Without some strength, it would be really difficult to survive.

"That's enough! I've already confessed. What else can I do?"

Chen Jie sighed helplessly and looked around.

Although half of these people were wounded, they looked like they had served in the military. Liu Qi was right. To survive in such a cruel environment, their martial arts skills must be quite good.

but,

When he saw some seriously injured soldiers, he couldn't help but frown.

It is obvious that most of these seriously injured soldiers suffered gunshot wounds and shrapnel scratches.

It can be seen from this that in the wars along the coastal areas, the Japanese muskets had an absolute advantage.

Although the soldiers of the Daqian Dynasty had some good martial arts skills, they were simply unable to withstand the saturation attack of muskets.

at this time,

The more than one hundred recruits seemed to be worried that Chen Jie would kick them out, and they all looked at Chen Jie expectantly.

Ever since Liu Qi recruited everyone into Ximen Hall.

In the past few days, everyone has had food and drink and lives in big houses.

Moreover, Liu Qi specially invited a doctor from the clinic to examine the injuries of all the wounded and apply medicine to them.

Once they leave Simon Hall, they will become refugees again, not knowing where to go.

In this chaotic world, it is extremely difficult to find a place to live.

Chen Jie said to all the recruits:

"Everyone, since you have chosen to join the 'Ximen Hall', we are all brothers from now on!"

"I don't care what you did before, and no matter how badly you were injured, as long as you are my brothers in Ximen Hall, I will not give up on you."

"From now on, this will be your home!"

"The court has issued a decree to form a 'righteous group'. You will all become members of the 'righteous group'!"

"I know that some of you did not join Ximen Hall willingly, but were forced to join due to circumstances."

"Now I'll give you a chance to choose. If you choose to leave now, I can give you five silver dollars as travel expenses."

"But once you join Ximen Hall, you must remember that from now on, you are Ximen Hall's people in life and Ximen Hall's ghosts in death!"

"I'll give you three minutes to think about it. If you choose to leave, you can receive five silver coins!"

finished,

Chen Jie gave an order to Liu Qi, and Liu Qi took out a large bag of silver coins from Chen Jie's backpack and placed it in front of everyone.

but,

What surprised Chen Jie was that the entire camp was very quiet, without any noise at all.

No one spoke, and no one chose to take the silver coins and leave.

Everyone's eyes were on the sturdy man standing in the middle.

It was obvious that everyone followed the lead of this strong man.

Liu Qi recruited so many wounded soldiers because he lost the martial arts competition with this strong man, so he had to accept all the wounded.

After a while, the strong man knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Jie and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for taking me in, sir. I am Yan Kuangtu and would like to join Ximen Hall!"

As the strong man knelt down, all the recruits knelt on one knee and shouted in unison:
"We are willing to join Ximen Hall!"

Yan Maniac! ?

Chen Jie looked at the burly man in the middle and frowned slightly.

This guy’s cohesion is so strong?
This group of remnant soldiers all follow his lead.

Chen Jie waved his hand and said:
"Get up! Yan Kuangtu, you, come with me, I need to find you for something!"

finished,

Chen Jie waved to Wan Jinpeng and whispered something to him.

This former big boss of Humenfang has been performing well recently. Chen Jie arranged for him to assist Liu Qi in setting up the "righteous group", and he has been performing with all his heart and effort.

After a while,
Wan Jinpeng nodded and left.

Although he cannot use force for the time being, he has plenty of experience in the martial arts world.

Moreover, after Chen Jie came into contact with him, he discovered that his rough appearance was in stark contrast to what he was good at.

Get intelligence!
That’s right, Wan Jinpeng is actually quite good at gathering intelligence.

Therefore,
The intelligence agency of Ximen Hall is naturally in charge of Wan Jinpeng.

After Chen Jie gave Wan Jinpeng instructions, he turned and walked towards a house in the camp.

Ten minutes later.

In the meeting hall of the camp, Chen Jie held a piece of paper in his hand and politely greeted Yan Kuangtu who was standing in front of him:
"Come, sit down, don't be so reserved, relax a little."

The camp meeting hall of Ximen Hall is quite large.

However, the facilities inside are very simple, with only a few tables and chairs.

Yan Kuangtu was silent for a moment, then looked up at Chen Jie.

Next,
He didn't say much, but pulled out a chair and sat down without any hesitation.

and,

He raised his hand to turn over the teacup on the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire meeting hall seemed a little solemn.

"I wonder why you asked me to come here alone?"

From Yan Kuangtu's expression, it can be seen that he is full of doubts.

Chen Jie smiled calmly and said:

"I just want you to come over here, just to get acquainted, chat, and drink tea!"

Yan Kuangtu nodded without saying anything and continued drinking his tea.

All of a sudden.

The atmosphere became depressing, making people feel like they couldn't breathe.

After a moment, Chen Jie read the paper in his hand, put it away, and was the first to break the silence and said:

"Tell me, Xia Yanyun, why did you choose to join our Ximen Hall?"

"You are the assistant lieutenant under the command of Qi Zhentang, the assistant lieutenant general guarding Shandong. According to the military rank of the Daqian Dynasty, you are the chief of the seventh rank."

"In terms of martial arts, you are a master in the early stage of Iron Bone Dark Power!"

"I really don't understand why you would bring your brothers to join a small gang like our Ximen Hall!"

"I want to know your true purpose!"

After hearing these words, Yan Kuangtu was slightly startled, he looked up and stared at Chen Jie in disbelief.

He didn't expect that his identity would be known by Chen Jie so quickly.

call!
Yan Kuangtu couldn't help but take a deep breath and stared at Chen Jie, as if he wanted to see through the other's heart.

but,

Chen Jie looked up at him without showing any weakness, his eyes firm.

suddenly,
Yan Kuangtu shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly, and sighed:
"Sir, you don't have to doubt me!"

"Yan Yunxia is dead. Now I am called Yan Kuangtu."

"After the battle in Weihai, Shandong, the designation of our vanguard battalion has been revoked."

"I am now a criminal of the court and a deserter!"

"Since you already know my identity, it seems that you want us to leave."

"That's right. Once the court finds out that you took us in, the entire Ximen Hall will be implicated!"

"Thank you for your care during this period, we will leave immediately--!"

Yan Kuangtu exhaled a breath, stood up, turned around and walked out of the meeting hall.

Chen Jie smiled calmly and said in a deep voice:
"Wait a minute! Xia Yanyun, since I dare to recruit you, I won't be afraid of being implicated by you."

"I just want to know your true purpose!"

"Our Ximen Hall is just a small force. With your strength, any force you find will definitely be much stronger than our Ximen Hall!"

"The current situation of the Daqian Dynasty is precarious. The Japanese warships have landed in Lushun and are heading straight to Liaodong!"

"In the battle of Shandong, the defending Lieutenant General Qi Zhentang surrendered without a fight, and the 150,000-man army was completely defeated!"

"The imperial court formed a 'righteous group' to allow the major gangs and civilian forces in Daqian to spontaneously fight against the foreigners."

"If you just want your brothers to have food to eat and a place to live, it's very simple. I can give you one thousand silver dollars, which is enough for you to live with them for a long time."

"But if you really want to join Ximentang, you need to fight against the foreigners again!"

"I can let you continue to lead the troops and let you serve as the commander of Ximen Hall's 'righteous group', but even if you die, you must die on the battlefield!"

"You, think it over and give me an answer!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Kuangtu stopped immediately.

For a while,
He lowered his head and fell silent, hesitating inside.

From his expression, it can be seen that Yan Kuangtu is going through the most difficult choice at this moment.

Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield!
Should I stay in Simon Hall?

It was as if a gust of wind blew through Yan Kuangtu's mind, and his thoughts became a little confused.

After Chen Jie finished speaking, he stood aside calmly without interrupting Yan Kuangtu's thoughts.

If Ximen Tang wants to form a "righteous group" to resist the foreigners and repel the Japanese, he must have brave and skilled generals!

Liu Qi's qualifications are too shallow, and Wan Jinpeng is good at dealing with underworld affairs and collecting intelligence, but it is definitely not possible for him to lead troops.

The others are just gangsters, and it is difficult for them to control these recruited remnants of the defeated army.

The goal of Ximen Tang is not to engage in small-scale fighting in the underworld, but to fight against foreigners and become the "strongest righteous group" in the Daqian Dynasty!
The 'righteous group' is not affiliated with the Ministry of War of the Daqian Dynasty, but it is a regular 'civilian group organization' established by the Daqian Dynasty!
That is,

The "righteous group" was not under the control of the Ministry of War of the Daqian Dynasty, but was an organization independent of the court.

of course,

Since the Daqian Dynasty dared to form a "righteous group", it must have had some means of restraining it.

If you want to truly break free from the control of the Daqian Dynasty's Ministry of War and become independent from the court, you'll need to put in a lot of effort.

Chen Jie has never been a soldier, but he understands one thing.

One soldier is raging, and the general is raging in the nest!
If the commander is incompetent, not brave enough, and afraid of death, then the entire Ximen Hall "righteous group" will suffer.

No matter how good the equipment is or how strong the firepower is, there is no guarantee that the 'Ximen Tang Righteous Group' will be invincible!
We must ensure that the entire "Ximentang Righteous Group" can unite as one and fight bravely against the enemy.

at this time,

Chen Jie himself couldn't explain why a sudden idea flashed in his mind and he wanted Yan Kuangtu to be the commander of Ximen Hall's "righteous group".

To be honest, he had a hunch!
As long as we can subdue the brave general Yan Kuangtu, the "righteous group" will succeed!
but,

What surprised Chen Jie was that Yan Kuangtu took a deep breath and refused:

"Sir, I am willing to join the Ximen Hall, and I can also fight against the foreigners, and I can die on the battlefield!"

"But I'm not qualified to lead the troops. I'm not up to the task!"

"I am a defeated general, a deserter, and an ominous person!"

"I can't implicate Ximen Tang, I can't implicate everyone, and I can't implicate you!"

"As for leading the troops, I hope you can find someone else who can help you!"
