Chapter 46, Challenging at Their Doorstep
Zhang Zhenlin’s face was gloomy; the thing he feared most had happened.
In the martial arts world, it’s common for different martial arts schools to visit each other for sparring. After all, the best way to test one’s skills is by sparring with others, as only in this way can one find out one’s shortcomings.
Zhang Zhenlin had thought that Li Xiaowen came here merely for sparring, but now he realized the situation was far from what he imagined.
It was evident that the Li Family Martial Arts School wanted to kick the Zhang Family Boxing Gym out of Qingyuan, intending to monopolize the large piece of the cake that was Qingyuan.
"Master Li truly humbles me, you see, your Li Family Martial Arts School is famous in Qingyuan, with hundreds of disciples under your command, and you yourself are a well-known Neijiaquan expert, far surpassing me in skill. There’s no need for us to compete." Zhang Zhenlin said politely, "As the saying goes, a guest from afar is a visitor. I happened to obtain some pre-Ming Dragon Well tea this year. If Master Li doesn’t mind, I would be honored to share tea with you."
He didn’t want to fight Li Xiaowen because he knew there was a certain disparity in their skills, and even if he fought with all his might, he might not win.
Therefore, taking the initiative to humble himself and seeking compromise was the only way to survive.
Before Li Xiaowen could speak, a disciple behind him sneered, "What’s so special about pre-Ming Dragon Well? Do you know that our Li Family Martial Arts School usually uses Dahongpao tea from the Wuyi Mountains to boil tea eggs?"
"That’s right, in our Martial Arts Hall, even pigs wouldn’t drink pre-Ming Dragon Well."
The Li Family Martial Arts School disciples burst into laughter, their brows full of disdain and provocation.
The disciples of the Zhang Family Boxing Gym felt a strong surge of anger. They never expected their opponents to be so insulting, treating their master’s sincere intentions as a mockery, which was really too much.
