Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

Chapter 111 This is a Grandmaster's Warning

By having Duoli and the others deduce the identity of the fleshy mess in the pit, they could find out.

A dignified ninth-dan martial artist, dying such a tragic death.

The people inside the consulate all looked rather grim.

Especially the representatives of the fighting association.

Because of this, the Fighting Association's representative at the consulate has now been changed to Vice President Herman.

The death of a 9th-dan martial artist is a major event, and he had no choice but to come.

The original mid-level consulate officials have been replaced by a consul general.

The commander was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties named Annis, who held the title of Earl of the Kingdom of Velen, making him a man of noble status.

But a rank nine martial arts master, whose status is similar to that of an earl, has now died, and in such a tragic way.

Annis couldn't help but wonder if he would end up like Rolf, turning into a pulpy mess in the pit.

He looked at the vice president of the fighting association and said, "Mr. Herman, who exactly did this?"

Although the newspaper reported that Chen Yi, the man from Daxuan, said that he was the one who did it.

But anyone who isn't a fool wouldn't believe what the other person said.

There must be someone else behind this.

Herman was a black man with a huge body, like a black iron tower.

As the vice president, he is also a ninth-dan fighter, so he naturally knows the strength of a ninth-dan fighter.

To be able to kill a ninth-dan martial artist, the strength behind that is...

He stared at the newspaper for a long time before finally saying, "This is a warning, a warning from Master Huo of Da Xuan, telling us to be more cautious."

Annis was stunned, and it took him a few seconds to process the news: "It was Grandmaster Huo of the Great Xuan who made the move? Wasn't he supposed to challenge the Saint to a duel?"

The president of the fighting association, although he has his own name, is referred to as a saint by others.

As a 10th Dan in martial arts, his immense power is like that of a saint descending to earth.

Herman said, "The only person who could kill a ninth-dan martial artist on the spot and not let him escape is a grandmaster from the Great Xuan Dynasty. So what if we challenge him to a duel? A powerhouse of that level can do whatever he wants."

"Then we—"

"Since Master Huo has made his move, we'd better listen. From today onwards, the dock will be a restricted area, and none of our people are allowed to enter," Herman said.

Annis agreed, "If it's a warning from Master Huo, then that's for the best. I agree."

Based solely on the speculation that a grandmaster might be behind it, the consulate and the fighting association chose to back down.

The strength of a Grandmaster is thus evident.

When the consulate spoke of the master.

Some people actually went to see the master.

This is a secluded spot in Tianhai, filled with lush trees and elegant bamboo groves, a truly picturesque environment.

A simple little house sits here.

There are two elderly people and one young person here.

Two old men are playing chess in the stone pavilion.

One of them was wearing an official robe embroidered with various rare animals; one could tell from his clothes alone that he held a high-ranking position.

He was Cui Yougong, the governor of Tianhai.

The other person was dressed simply in a gray cloth robe, and at first glance appeared to be just an ordinary person.

However, accompanying him was the Governor-General of Tianhai.

Then the identity of the old man in the gray robe becomes obvious.

He was none other than Master Huo, one of the three great masters of the imperial court, who made the foreign fleet yield and negotiate.

As for the young man next to him, he was a girl wearing a loose white training uniform.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail for easy movement, her brows held a distant air, and she had a cool and aloof demeanor, yet she was extremely beautiful.

In the Xianledu dance hall, the red-clad dancer Su Manqing also has a persona of being aloof and ethereal.

But compared to her, Su Manqing's aloof and ethereal beauty immediately appears as a poor imitation, and her fairy-like appearance is reduced to that of a vulgar woman.

Once an ordinary person sees her, they will never forget her, and her image will constantly appear in their mind for the rest of their life.

How could there be such a beautiful woman in the world?

At this moment, she was practicing a set of boxing techniques with great concentration, training herself.

While playing chess with the old man in gray robes, Master Huo was also paying attention to the girl's movements.

Every punch and pull of the opponent was perfectly timed, giving one a sense of harmony with nature.

It was as if she were nature itself, the embodiment of martial arts, and the embodiment of the Way.

In many places, even he, as a master, felt a sense of sudden enlightenment upon seeing them.

"How can there be such a talented person in the world? He is simply the only one born of this era," Master Huo exclaimed in his heart.

He originally came to Tianhai only to accept the challenge from that saint of the Fighting Association.

The defeat of the saints would be a heavy blow to the foreigners.

This is beneficial to the current situation.

This will make the foreigners behave more politely on the land of Daxuan.

After arriving in Tianhai, I heard that there was a genius in the martial arts world who had the potential to become a grandmaster.

So he came to take a look.

At first, he didn't have high hopes. The population of Da Xuan was in the hundreds of millions, and countless martial arts geniuses had emerged. Every region had rising young talents.

But the probability of becoming a grandmaster is extremely small.

It was he who defeated both the younger and older generations back then.

He wouldn't dare say he could become a grandmaster.

He even lingered in the Qi Refining Realm for over a decade.

He suddenly had an epiphany one day, and that's when he finally succeeded.

However, upon seeing the girl again, Master Huo believed that there truly existed in this world a peerless genius who was destined to become a master.

She could understand martial arts at a glance, or even without looking, she could deduce many of the essences of martial arts based on what she knew.

Many of his understandings even led to subtle improvements in Huo Qing's martial arts skills.

One can imagine the extent of her genius.

Master Huo had more confidence in her than he did in going back in time to learn martial arts again and become a master himself.

"Miss Wen Xueyun is really hardworking. Every time I come to Master Huo's place, I can see her practicing her skills," Cui Yougong said.

Huo Qing glanced at him. This old man came to him every day to try and get close to him. The dignified governor was just playing chess and chatting, doing all sorts of things.

Cui Yougong knew exactly what he wanted. Once he defeated the Saint of the Tianhai Fighting Association, he would be the one to call the shots in Tianhai.

With just a little support, Cui Yougong could become a true regional governor.

Instead of having to cater to the whims of foreigners as before.

However, he did not expose Cui Yougong's thoughts, after all, Tianhai always needed someone to govern it.

Cui Yougong's abilities are only average; at best, he can keep the situation in Tianhai from becoming chaotic.

However, compared to other officials of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Cui Yougong was exceptionally capable.

At least things remain stable, and the people are doing well without having to suffer displacement and hardship.

If it were any other official, there would be chaos, rampant gangs, and the people would live worse than livestock.

Therefore, Huo Qing was willing to chat with him for a while.

"She's more talented than anyone else, and she works harder than anyone else. If she doesn't reach the pinnacle of martial arts, I don't know who will," Huo Qing replied.
