Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 101 Dongqi Province Martial Arts Training Base (5k)

The night was alluring, and the slightly tipsy girl was even more alluring.

Qin Rui's cheeks flushed red after drinking two bottles of beer.

Her pretty face was like a ripe peach, delicate and rosy, making one want to take a bite.

Li Xinran reached out and gently kneaded her fair face.

He sighed, "What a wonderful girl! If I were a man, I would definitely choose you!"

Hearing her being so flirtatious, the two men at the table, Zhao Rui and Cao Guannan, couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

This is an open-air barbecue stall on the street.

With just that one movement, the eyes of the young people at the next table all drifted over.

"You're not allowed to let her touch you!"

Zhao Rui turned slightly to the side and whispered to Miao Miaomiao beside him.

Miao Miaomiao covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

This smile is like Bao Si teasing the feudal lords, or Daji revealing her allure; it exudes an innate charm.

She has made great progress in her cultivation during this period, and her Enchanting Immortal Technique is no longer confined to external disturbances of true energy, nor is it deliberately used, but is instead contained within her body.

With every gesture, a myriad of charms naturally arise.

This kind of charm is neither vulgar nor gaudy, but rather pure and elegant, perfectly matching the ethereal grace of a fairy.

Even Zhao Rui, who also practiced the Enchanting Immortal Technique, couldn't help but show a look of amazement.

Not to mention others.

Seeing Miao Miaomiao's appearance, Qin Rui couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand, pout her lips, and whisper, "If you were to participate in the actor selection, Luo Min would definitely have no chance."

“I’ve been watching you all day, and you don’t seem to have anything else to do. What’s so great about being an actor?”

Zhao Rui said with dissatisfaction.

"You don't understand... Sigh!"

Before she could finish speaking, the men at the table next to her exchanged glances. One of them stood up, holding a wine glass, and walked over with a drunken look on his face.

"Beautiful lady, are you interested in becoming an actress? I have connections. Let's grab a drink and get to know each other."

The arrival of this person caused Qin Ruixiu's eyebrows to furrow immediately.

"I don't know you. I'm not interested."

She turned around and glared at the other person unhappily.

Unfortunately, what she thought was an angry look appeared more like a flirtatious glance to the drunk man.

The man pulled over a stool and prepared to sit down.

"Get out!"

Zhao Rui was not about to tolerate him. He flirted with the girl next to him right in front of him, as if he didn't exist.

Words containing the ethereal sounds of a demon resounded eerily, like ghostly whispers, instantly taking over the man's mind.

"Get out! Get out!"

The sound of illusions rolled on, as if struck by lightning!
The man simply lay down on the ground and rolled around like a log.

Seeing this, his companion rushed over to help him up, and asked in astonishment, "Are you crazy? Why are you rolling around on the ground?"

The man was drunk and dazed, and could no longer remember what he had just done.

Among the group, one of the more astute individuals glanced at Zhao Rui and his group of five, who were still calmly eating and drinking, and whispered, "Let's go, let's go, stop eating."

After saying that, they hurriedly paid the bill and left the barbecue stall.

Although this little incident was brief, everyone around could see it.

He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Anyone who can bring out such a beautiful girl must be quite capable.

This world is that simple: possessing a treasure is a crime; without the ability, how can you possibly keep it?

"Pretty women are always a hassle, Brother Cao. Let's go out for drinks alone sometime!"

Zhao Rui shook his head and chuckled.

"Who asked you to interfere? I can handle this myself."

Qin Rui snorted twice, saying defiantly.

"So you don't need me to get involved in making the actors?"

"Ok?"

Qin Rui's eyes lit up, and she instantly perked up. Her pretty face showed a flattering expression as she smiled charmingly at Zhao Rui, "You really have a way?"

"Probably, it depends on your performance!"

Zhao Rui chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Li Xinran, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in astonishment, "You guys engage in unspoken rules, and now you do it all behind people's backs? She's my woman, okay?"

Zhao Rui was speechless for a moment, then tapped her on the head and said angrily, "What are you thinking about all day long!"

"I was just joking, you're not that kind of person."

Li Xinran chuckled.

"That's just the kind of person I am. Tonight, this meal is on you. You figure it out!"

"It's not like I'm the actor..."

"Ranran, please do it for my sake!"

Qin Rui hugged her arm, acting coquettishly, and even kissed her on the cheek.

"If you kiss Zhao Rui, you can save on your meal expenses!"

Cao Guannan suddenly spoke quietly from the side.

The group exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.

Silent all night.

After finishing his professional class the next morning, Zhao Rui called Wang Ping's assistant and told him about Qin Rui's situation.

I also mentioned that I'd like to exchange my role for a minor female role, regardless of whether she has any lines.

Hearing his words, the assistant smiled and said, "Let me ask Director Wang, it shouldn't be a problem."

A short while later, his assistant called him back, saying that they could arrange a role for him with one or two lines.

He even said he didn't need to change it, and jokingly added that he just needed to think of a few more songs.

Zhao Rui smiled, but also frankly said that he had no interest in acting and decisively gave up the spot.

Don't let this affect the casting process.

His assistant shook his head at his actions.

Talented people are indeed all so arrogant.

He said he didn't want the acting opportunity that so many people dream of.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Rui called Qin Rui and talked about the acting.

Qin Rui was stunned after hearing this.

It took him a while to react.

I had a few drinks last night, and I was just joking.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Rui said at this moment, "There's a chance!"
"Are you kidding me?"

"Why am I teasing you? They should call you later to verify the information."

"This……"

"That's all, I'm hanging up now!"

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Qin Rui stared at the lit-up phone screen, momentarily stunned, feeling as if her brain couldn't process what was happening.

Less than half an hour later.

Sure enough, an unfamiliar number called, claiming to be from the crew of the drama "The Legend of Crane". They asked her to verify some information.

Qin Rui then realized with a start that what Zhao Rui said was true.

Suddenly, she covered her face with her hands in excitement, completely at a loss for what to do.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Rui excitedly told Li Xinran and the others the news.

Everyone was astonished to learn that Zhao Rui hadn't just been saying it casually last night.

Li Xinran immediately dialed Zhao Rui's number, asking with a fawning smile, "Are we close friends?"

"Not iron!"

Zhao Rui knew exactly what she was up to.

One sentence blocked her path.

"Brother, I call you brother, can you arrange one for me too?"

Li Xinran's face immediately fell, and she chuckled.

"You think this film crew is my family's business? There's only one. Who told you not to say so earlier!"

I regret it so much!

Li Xinran beat her feet and pounded her chest in frustration.

Sure enough, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

……

University life is free and easy, and time flies by. A month passes in the blink of an eye.

Ever since Wang Dalong broke through to level nine, Cai Zhengyang was so stimulated that he went crazy and practiced his skills desperately.

He no longer even had the heart to "parade" his underlings through the streets as he used to.

His skills were already exceptional, and he was one of only two top-tier skills in the entire martial arts team that could rival the Six-Star Enchanting Immortal Technique.

Besides its ability to crush its peers with sword-finger techniques, it also greatly enhances the conversion of true qi.

After a month of tireless and dedicated effort, Cai Zhengyang finally reaped the rewards.

Last night, I successfully broke through to the ninth level of the True Essence Realm.

Early this morning, Cai Zhengyang walked into Mingchan Courtyard with a refreshed and arrogant expression.

His behavior was completely different from his usual sullen state.

The underlings waiting at the door, having spent a long time with him, knew his character well.

Immediately, their faces lit up with surprise as they asked, "Brother Yang, have you broken through?"

Cai Zhengyang nodded with a stern face.

"Damn, Yang is awesome! He advanced just like that. Advancing to the True Essence Realm is as easy as drinking water for Yang!"

"Absolutely! My confidence in Brother Yang is even stronger than my confidence in how long I can hold on!"

"If you can't use a metaphor, then shut up. You've only been talking for a minute."

"Damn it, you only lasted a minute? That was my first time, okay?!"

Upon hearing their words, Cai Zhengyang's eyes narrowed slightly.

When did you two go?

“Yang, Brother Yang, it was when you went into seclusion.”

The younger brother scratched his head sheepishly and said...

"Damn it, you two beasts! Take me there tonight!" Cai Zhengyang roared.

"Absolutely, absolutely, Brother Yang, I'll treat you tonight to celebrate your advancement to level nine."

"What? You've already booked it? Fine, you book it today, and I'll book it tomorrow."

The two immediately began vying for the emperor's favor.

Cai Zhengyang strolled towards the main hall with satisfaction.

Level nine! Apart from Captain Gu, he's among the top members of the entire martial arts team.

Moreover, they are the kind of fighters whose combat power can surpass those of higher levels.

Looking at the present, who can rival us?

Cai Zhengyang was already imagining the day he would utterly defeat Wang Dalong.

“That bastard advanced a month earlier than me. I can’t rest these two days. I have to make up for this gap. The difference in our progress is not that big. It’s the time to take him down from the top freshman.”

Cai Zhengyang frowned as he thought.

Suddenly a voice sounded beside him, waking him from his reverie.

"Zhengyang, your brows are furrowed so tightly, could it be menstrual cramps?"

"..."

Who is so bold as to joke about Cai Jiuji?

The two underlings were immediately enraged and were about to reprimand him when they turned around and saw that it was Zhao Rui.

His expression immediately turned awkward.

They all glanced sideways at their leader, waiting for his reaction.

This guy is not someone they dare to mess with.

Cai Zhengyang's cheek muscles twitched several times, and his excited expression vanished instantly. How could he have forgotten about him?

His facial expression immediately became conflicted.

I wanted to stand up for myself, but I was really unsure of myself.

Keep playing the fool. I just advanced to level nine, a time when I'm full of ambition and ready to make a name for myself, but I'm also unwilling to give up.

A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, and he was about to force a smile when Zhao Rui suddenly reached out and hooked his arm around his shoulder, laughing loudly, "I was just joking with you, you're not angry, are you!"

"How could that be? Brother Rui, why are you in such a good mood today? Is there something good happening?"

"I'm still being punished, so what's there to celebrate? I'm just happy for you that you've advanced to level nine!"

Upon hearing his words, Cai Zhengyang's pupils contracted slightly, and he secretly thought to himself, "That was close."

That old schemer, his skills must have improved again.

It's truly a case of "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"
"Sigh! You've only advanced to level nine, you're nowhere near as good as Brother Rui."

This time, Cai Zhengyang was speaking from the heart.

"You're just too modest. Your sword finger technique is a long-accumulated skill that grows stronger the closer you get to the Grandmaster realm. I definitely can't beat you right now!"

Zhao Rui smiled, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up! The martial arts competition is coming up soon, I believe in you!"

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he released his arm, waved his hand, and leisurely walked into the main hall of Mingchan Courtyard.

Cai Zhengyang watched his departing figure, his brows furrowed slightly. What did he mean by that?
"Brother Yang..."

"Brother Yang..."

Seeing him standing there in a daze, the younger brother quickly called out to him.

"What 'Yang'? Don't tell anyone I've advanced. I still need to continue my seclusion."

Cai Zhengyang's face darkened, and he turned and walked out of Mingchan Courtyard.

The two underlings exchanged a bewildered glance.

Then he raised an eyebrow:
"Let's continue tonight!"

Inside the Ming Cicada Courtyard!

Zhao Rui arrived at the main hall and walked up to Wang Zhanshan.

"Coach, we just ran into Cai Zhengyang, he's broken through to level nine!"

"So fast?"

Wang Zhanshan's face lit up with joy, and then he nodded and said, "This afternoon, please inform them to gather people in the main hall tomorrow, and I will take you to the training ground."

Zhao Rui rubbed his nose and said, "I'm just a temporary team member, is it appropriate for me to be the convener?"

Hearing his words, Wang Zhanshan glared at him and said, "I think that with your talent for causing trouble, the temporary team members are too lenient with you. You should be kicked out of the martial arts team directly."

Zhao Rui scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I was just saying. If I go to the training camp, I won't be able to work..."

"I'll help you recover after the training camp. Get out of here already, I hate seeing you!"

Wang Zhanshan waved his hand dismissively, driving Zhao Rui out.

Zhao Rui chuckled: "Thank you, Coach."

Don't underestimate the benefits of being a formal team member; it comes with a real salary.

Of course, this is only a small part. The most important things are year-end performance evaluations, free access to various school benefits, and the distribution of school scholarships.

Those are all subject to additional policies.

Don't want it for nothing.

Upon receiving the order, Zhao Rui immediately called Miao Miaomiao.

She was also on the list; the entire training team consisted of five people.

Besides him and Miao Miaomiao, there were also Wang Dalong, Cai Zhengyang, and Zheng Minghao, who broke through to level eight during the winter break.

As for Luo Min, she had already gone to the filming base in Sichuan Province with the crew to play her role as a female knight-errant in ancient costume.

Qin Rui was also with them.

Because of this, rumors circulated within the team that Qin Rui had secretly hooked up with someone in charge of the production crew.

Otherwise, how could her name suddenly appear?

These words, though tinged with jealousy, infuriated Qin Rui for several days.

Fortunately, these people only gossiped behind people's backs and didn't dare to say it to their faces.

Zhao Rui didn't care. If he wanted to experience the life of an actor, why couldn't he even stand these rumors?

After calling Miao Miaomiao, Zhao Rui rushed to the martial arts team's training ground.

After scanning the area, he spotted Wang Dalong and walked over.

Zhao Rui was quite impressed with this actual martial arts genius.

This person is rather arrogant, but not completely naive.

Never ostentatious, but never low-key either.

The feeling is that the first place should have been his, that he was destined to be this outstanding.

Wang Dalong frowned as he saw Zhao Rui, who had barely spoken, walking toward him.

Although he felt he wasn't afraid of Zhao Rui, a person's reputation is still a reputation.

This guy has already stepped on so many people.

From freshman to junior, from Cai Zhengyang in the class of 1988 to Gongye Lingchen in the class of 1999.

There's nothing he wouldn't dare to step on.

I've always kept to myself and he doesn't know what he wants from me.

"Brother Rui, you were looking for me?"

Seeing him approach, Wang Dalong asked the question first.

"Yes, Coach Wang asked me to tell you that we need to meet in the main hall first thing tomorrow morning. He's taking us to a training camp. Please prepare plenty of spare clothes."

Zhao Rui nodded and then explained the situation.

"Just you and me?"

Wang Dalong was taken aback and asked curiously.

"There are also other Class 8 team members from the freshman year."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dalong understood the situation.

After speaking with Wang Dalong, Zhao Rui then spoke to Zheng Minghao.

After going around in circles without encountering Cai Zhengyang, Zhao Rui finally found his two followers and learned that Cai Zhengyang had gone into seclusion.

Why is this kid working so hard?

Zhao Rui was taken aback; he had just broken through to level nine.

This personality isn't like his usual self.

Little did they know that if they hadn't met him, Cai Zhengyang would be indulging in debauchery and showing off at this time.

Seclusion is a serious matter, and sometimes I even turn off my phone to avoid being disturbed.

Zhao Rui was no stranger to this kind of thing, so he left him a message explaining the situation.

It wasn't until almost midnight that Cai Zhengyang called him back to inquire about the specific details.

When Cai Zhengyang heard that five freshmen had gone, he immediately became unhappy.

According to his thinking, only he, Wang Dalong, and Zhao Rui were qualified to join the special training team in their freshman year.

Below the ninth level, everyone is an ant!
Especially that Zheng Minghao, he's only at level eight, he's nothing!

Before the team even set off, Cai Zhengyang had already secretly divided the group into factions.

Unfortunately, Zhao Rui was unaware of his idea.

If I knew, I would definitely retort: ​​"Anyone below level ten is an ant!"

Early the next morning.

The five of them then gathered in the main hall of the Narumi-in Temple, carrying their suitcases.

Wang Zhanshan gave some instructions regarding his trip, and while speaking, he especially stared at Zhao Rui, his meaning practically saying:
I'm telling you this.

Remember this!
After giving them their instructions, they waited a short while before a minibus picked them up and drove straight out of Dongqi University.

After driving for less than an hour, the car arrived near the Jeju West Yellow River Forest Park.

They stopped at a place that resembled a training base.

Zhao Rui and the others looked through the car window at the sign at the entrance.

Dongqi Province Martial Arts Training Base!
This is?

Zhao Rui and the others were shocked, for this was the location of the Dong Qi Martial Arts Team.

The Dongqi Martial Arts Team is not the same as the Dongqi University Martial Arts Team. The two words differ, but the meanings are completely different.

The Dongqi Martial Arts Team is a genuine gathering place for professional martial arts competitors.

It is no longer a school organization, but a gathering place for outstanding martial arts talents from all over the society.

This includes, but is not limited to, outstanding graduates from major universities in the province, martial arts masters from families with inherited skills, and closed-door disciples from well-known martial arts schools.

Of course, there will also be a few disciples from various sects.

"We've arrived. Cheer up! Grab your luggage, let's get off the bus."

Once the bus came to a stop, Wang Zhanshan clapped his hands and led everyone off the minibus.
