Chapter 1456 - 1457: Idol
Ye Qing was deeply ashamed.
If Yang Fei had been holding a dagger instead of a feather duster, who knows how many times he would be dead by now.
This isn't something that can be merely described as a "touch."
Recalling his arrogant words earlier, Ye Qing couldn't help but lower his head, not even having the courage to look at Yang Fei directly.
At this moment, Liu Dachuan suddenly sensed the familiar and composed posture of Yang Fei standing with his hands behind his back, and his heart stirred.
He quickly pulled up a video on his phone and, after just one glance, his mouth fell open in shock.
"My god, it really is him!"
In the phone video, a Chinese martial artist blocked the gates of the East Asia Martial Arts Alliance, standing calmly with his hands behind his back.
Beside him lay countless Great Grandmasters, sprawled in disorder.
And that Chinese martial artist was unmistakably Yang Fei right before them.
Liu Dachuan stared blankly at Yang Fei, utterly speechless in shock.
While some martial artists within the country were still squabbling over petty issues within the martial arts world,
this martial artist before him had already single-handedly brought glory overseas for his country and his people, venting the anger of all Huaxia warriors.
This legendary hero suddenly appeared right in front of him, and Liu Dachuan was at a loss for words to describe his amazement and admiration.
Yang Fei glanced at the two of them lightly and nodded slightly at Liu Chan.
"Alright, let's go."
As Ye Qing watched Liu Chan and Yang Fei start to leave, he shouted out.
"You... you coward, don't leave, let's fight again..."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Dachuan lunged forward, covering Ye Qing's mouth: "No way, we admit defeat."
Ye Qing's mouth was muffled by Liu Dachuan's hand, making muffled sounds as his body struggled.
Liu Dachuan held the phone in front of his eyes.
Ye Qing took just one glance and froze like a struck toad, his eyes widening in sheer shock.
Liu Dachuan released Ye Qing's mouth and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I never expected Director Liu's master to be such a Great Master. Junior Brother Ye Qing, we nearly committed a grave mistake for our lack of recognition."
Ye Qing nodded repeatedly, feeling a chill down his back, and was filled with dread.
The battle at the East Asia Martial Arts Alliance in Luoshanji, where Yang Fei challenged the entire Karate, had made him the foremost figure in the revival of Huaxia Martial Arts.
His prestige was unparalleled, comparable only to the Martial God of a decade ago.
If anyone knew Ye Qing had spoken rudely to Yang Fei, or even competed with him for a woman.
Ye Qing would immediately become an enemy to all of Huaxia Martial Arts, putting not only himself in jeopardy but also the True Martial Temple without a place to stand.
Liu Dachuan scolded his junior in a low voice: "You were too reckless."
"This person is the current Martial Alliance Leader of Huaxia Martial Arts and the Tower Master of Yinxue Tower, having founded Yalan International single-handedly."
"Even our Martial God Space Martial Arts Hall was invested and established by him, yet you're competing for a woman with him and trying to out-fight..."
At this, Liu Dachuan felt a sense of relief.
"Luckily, there weren't many people in the Martial Arts Hall today, otherwise if word got out, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Ye Qing groaned in frustration: "How was I supposed to know? It's strange, I didn't see any trace of him being a martial artist."
"Had I not fought with him, I wouldn't have ever believed this person had such great capabilities."
At this, Ye Qing felt a bit uneasy.
"Brother, do you think he'll hold a grudge against us and make things difficult for us at the Martial Arts Hall?"
Liu Dachuan snorted: "What kind of person is the Alliance Hierarch? How could he waste time on such trivial matters?"
"We just need to sincerely apologize for our mistakes."
At this, he cast a glare at Ye Qing.
"And stop harboring any thoughts. Don't pursue Director Liu anymore."
"Regardless of her relationship with the Alliance Hierarch, since she's not interested in you, don't pester her."
Ye Qing pulled a bitter face, not daring to say anything more, nodding in agreement.
In the secret chamber of the Martial God Space, Liu Chan removed her shirt, revealing her jade-like back to Yang Fei.
The girl's figure was evidently more voluptuous, yet her waist was still slim, just enough to be encircled by one hand.
The sword-shaped mark on her back had deepened in color to a bluish-purple, with some strange patterns around the skin, resembling swirling clouds.
After watching for a while, Yang Fei remarked.
"No, this isn't a sword, it resembles a sword-shaped Lone Peak Summit, and these patterns are the clouds swirling at the summit."
"Oh, what's in the clouds? It looks like a chain, extending upward..."
At this, Yang Fei cursed: "Damn, this bizarre thing is getting harder to understand, what on earth is going on?"
Seeing his anxiety clearly displayed, Liu Chan felt warmth in her heart.
"Don't worry, Master, I don't feel any discomfort."
"Though I don't know where this mark came from, it has been beneficial to my Martial Arts training so far."
Yang Fei nodded, though he harbored an uneasy foreboding.
Not wanting Liu Chan to worry, he changed the topic.
"By the way, have you consistently gone to the hospital for check-ups recently? I remember your blood platelets and white blood cells were abnormal; have they returned to normal?"
Liu Chan nodded: "Thank you for your concern, Master."
"Last week's medical report showed that my body functions have returned to normal levels."
Yang Fei felt a great sense of relief and nodded: "That's good."
Following that, Yang Fei instructed Liu Chan to put on her clothes, evaluated Liu Chan's True Martial Decree, and found that she had achieved Great Achievement in it.
As her Martial Arts Realm improves, the mastery of the True Martial Decree will also become increasingly refined.
Yang Fei also taught Liu Chan a set of Fist Techniques called the Gold Thread Coiling Snake Hand, evolved from the Snake Decree, which is said to be much more powerful than the Snake Decree."
"A Martial Arts Master not only focuses on training methods but also on fighting techniques. Talking but not practicing is false, and practicing without fighting is hard to apply in practical situations.
In essence, National Arts is about life-and-death; without killing, it loses its meaning.
Liu Chan was no longer the timid girl she used to be when it came to fighting and combat.
After months of Martial Arts training, her will became firm, and though her personality remained gentle and kind, a tenacious spirit gradually emerged.
When the two exited from the secret chamber of the Martial God Space, it was already dinnertime. Liu Chan nervously offered to treat Yang Fei to dinner, which he gladly accepted.
As they approached the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall, they found Dojo Master Liu Dachuan and Ye Qing waiting respectfully.
Inside and outside the Martial Arts Hall, over twenty Martial Family members stood waiting, each with a respectful yet anxious demeanor.
When Yang Fei and Liu Chan emerged, everyone erupted into spontaneous cheers.
"They're out, they're out, the Alliance Hierarch is truly elegant and unmatched in valor."
"Heavens, I never imagined that I could see the Alliance Hierarch in person, truly a blessing."
"A hero, my idol."
