Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

[Information 1: Last night, after you killed Fang Zheng, Luo Yan woke up and, in her dazed state, saw your back. However, she didn't recognize you.]

[Information 2: Luo Yan and Yang Zhenzhen unanimously decided to pretend they knew nothing about Fang Zheng's death. Because Baicaotang wielded considerable power, if the Fang family blamed them for Fang Zheng's death, it would be detrimental to the martial arts school.]

[Information 3: Fang Zheng did not return home last night. The Fang family inquired at the martial arts school and the Gao family this morning, but found nothing. The Fang family suspects that the Black Tiger Gang may have done something sabotage!]

The Fang family believes Fang Zheng has been kidnapped by the Black Tiger Gang. Desperate to save his son, the Fang family patriarch travels to the Black Tiger Gang with a large sum of money, requesting a ceasefire.

The Black Tiger Gang denied any involvement in Fang Zheng's disappearance; a disagreement between the two sides escalated into a physical fight.

…………

"Indeed, the fiercer the battle between the two major powers, the muddier the waters become."

At this moment, Gao Chengyang walked in.

Chen You walked over: "Senior Brother!"

Gao Chengyang seemed to have something on his mind, his brows furrowed.

He wondered, where did Fang Zheng go?

Seeing Chen You approach, he smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

"I have great news for you! I caught a top-grade treasure fish!"

"What?"

Gao Chengyang was stunned.

Chen You didn't keep him in suspense and handed him the sack containing the precious fish!

The treasure fish has strong blood and energy, and its vitality is also very strong.

So even now, this white arowana is still alive.

"Junior Brother Chen, I... I never expected you to actually succeed!"

Gao Chengyang was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.

"Senior Brother Gao, that fishing rod you gave me is quite valuable. I've always remembered it," Chen You said with a smile.

"I'll remember it, and I'll never forget my junior brother's kindness in the future."

"Senior brother, you flatter me."

"Then I'll go back now and prepare for my breakthrough!"

"Wishing you every success, senior!"

…………

The fourth day after Fang Zheng was killed.

The battle between Baicaotang and the Black Tiger Gang did not stop because of Fang Zheng's death; on the contrary, it became even more brutal.

Almost every day, two groups of disciples' corpses were carried out of the alleys in the city.

To avoid getting involved in this bloody conflict, Yan Yang Martial Arts School decisively rejected Bai Cao Tang's cooperation request and continued to teach behind closed doors.

On the training ground, many disciples were practicing and exchanging blows, with shouts rising and falling.

Chen You is now quite strong and has a lot of prestige among the disciples. Therefore, the martial arts school sometimes arranges for him to come out and give pointers to the junior brothers and sisters who have just started their training.

Chen You walked along the sidelines, arms behind his back, his eyes sharp, occasionally offering a few words of advice.

"Your Three Yang Fist is too slow, and your power is weak! Remember, a punch must be as fast as lightning, and your qi and blood must be concentrated at one point. If you keep punching like that, you'll be throwing your life away if you encounter an enemy!"

The reprimanded disciple blushed slightly, quickly clasped his hands in agreement, and gritted his teeth to readjust his stance.

Chen You shook his head, then walked to the other side and pointed at a disciple who had just kicked out, saying, "Your lower body is swollen, and your weight is all on your back foot. This kick not only won't hurt anyone, but it will also expose your weakness to the opponent. Your recovery stance needs to be steady, and your kick needs to be powerful. Try again!!"

"yes!"

The disciple wiped the sweat from his forehead and did as instructed, and his leg movements became much smoother.

After surveying the area, Chen You's gaze suddenly fell on a disciple not far away.

"what?"

The disciple's name was Zhang Huo. He used to be quiet and unassuming in the martial arts school, and his performance was usually quite mediocre.

But now, upon closer inspection, Chen You realized that the opponent's moves were steady, and there was a faint sound of air being cut when he punched. He had actually mastered the techniques.

This person has been hiding deep; their talent must be extraordinary.

"Senior Brother Chen." Zhang Huo noticed Chen You's gaze, quickly stopped his attack, stepped forward, and greeted him respectfully.

Chen You patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile, "You played very well, keep it up."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huo was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Thank you for your correction, Senior Brother!!"

"Junior Brother Chen!"

Just then, a woman's voice, carrying a complex meaning, suddenly came from not far away.

Chen You looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Luo Yan had walked over at some point.

Today, she was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, concealing the softness of that night. Although her face had returned to its usual cold and aloof expression, there was a subtle and barely perceptible glint in her eyes as she looked at Chen You.

Chen You remained composed and nodded slightly: "Is there something you need, Senior Sister?"

Let's talk in private.

"Well……"

Chen You found it strange, but still followed her to the side.

"Um... I was a little rude to you before, please forgive me!"

"Senior sister refers to..."

"Fang Zheng, I argued with you before when you said he was dishonest. It was my fault," Luo Yan said seriously.

Chen You breathed a sigh of relief!

I thought I was looking for him because I had been exposed.

"Senior sister, I didn't take it to heart," Chen You said.

"Why……"

Luo Yan seemed to have thought of something and let out a soft sigh.

She remembered everything that happened that night afterward.

I happened to meet someone behind that door, but because it was dark and I was not in a good mental state, I couldn't see who it was.

Then…………

I was with him...

Thinking of this, Luo Yan felt a pang of sadness.

What I cherished so dearly, just vanished without a trace?

But to be honest, she didn't blame them.

After all, he saved me.

"Junior brother, are you free tonight? I'm inviting some fellow disciples to dinner," Luo Yan asked, shaking off her thoughts.

"Sorry, I have something to do tonight."

"Understood." Chen You cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and left.

Looking at Chen You's retreating figure, Luo Yan suddenly felt a sense of disorientation.

Because she suddenly realized that the figure from behind looked somewhat like the person who saved her…

However, she quickly shook her head.

"What are you thinking? Although Junior Brother Chen has good talent, no matter what, he can't possibly be a match for a second-grade expert."

…………

…………

Ten days after Fang Zheng's death.

Fang Zheng's body was finally discovered.

Bai Cao Tang was furious, convinced that it was the Black Tiger Gang who did it.

They were ambushed and died tragically in that deserted mansion.

The Black Tiger Gang suffered devastating losses in a fierce retaliation!

However, Baicaotang itself is not doing well either.

Goods were robbed and shops were vandalized on the road, resulting in heavy losses.

All of this was no longer relevant to Chen You.

On this day, Chen You, dressed in a neat and tidy long robe, entered the martial arts school.

Today's martial arts gym is very different from usual. It's packed with people, and there are even many unfamiliar faces that I've never seen before.

The reason for such a lively atmosphere is that the martial arts gym is holding its annual secondment ceremony today!

The so-called "temporary appointment meeting" refers to various forces with close ties to Yanyang Martial Arts School who come here specifically to select outstanding disciples to serve under their own command.

In this way, those forces gained capable assistants and manpower, while the martial arts school disciples also had a way to make money, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Chen You looked around and saw that there were at least ten forces present today!

Most of the people sent by these forces were young children from their families, and they were sitting upright in the grand chairs specially arranged for them at the martial arts school, looking arrogant.

The owner of the museum, Yang Yan, and his daughter, Yang Zhenzhen, sat at the far end, chatting warmly with these scions of prominent families, their faces beaming with smiles. The atmosphere was harmonious.

In the open space in the middle of the training ground, three martial arts disciples were sweating profusely as they practiced their fists and feet, showing off their martial arts skills in hopes of gaining the favor of those noble families.

Zhang Huo was also among them.

Yang Yan had actually noticed the talent that Zhang Huo had shown during this period.

Although this kid's cultivation level is still low, his family is really poor. Yang Yan is kind-hearted, so he allowed him to go up and try his hand today. If he is lucky enough to be noticed by some small family, it can improve his family's situation.

As for the other two disciples competing against each other, they are both senior disciples who have been in the martial arts school for more than a year.

The one on the left is Wang Meng. He has been training hard at the martial arts school for a year and a half. Although his talent is mediocre, he is strong and tough. When he performs a set of powerful Iron Sand Palm, he is quite impressive. He is very suitable to work as a bodyguard in some merchants.

The one on the right is Zhao Fei. He has been in the martial arts school for two years and is skilled in leg techniques and body techniques. His movements are light and agile.

The three of them used their own methods to showcase their abilities, drawing gasps of amazement from the disciples watching.

As the event concluded, the group of onlookers nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, a pretty woman called out, "My Flower Pavilion Inn needs to hire two guards, requiring them to stay for at least 15 days each month. If interested, the monthly salary is three taels of silver, plus five catties of meat and three bowls of medicinal cuisine!! An extra reward will be given for helping the inn deal with local thugs."
