After Chen Haoxuan finished designing on his computer, he saved the design files onto a USB Drive. He personally took the USB Drive to New City to make clothes for Lin Hao and the others. The fabric for their clothes had to be of high quality, and each piece needed to fit perfectly. Chen Haoxuan already had the measurements of Lin Hao and the others, which he brought along when he went to New City.
While Chen Haoxuan was busy, there was someone else occupied in Island Nation—Matsui Ichiro. Matsui Ichiro was visiting his Karate friends in Island Nation every day, inviting them to join him in China to teach Chen Haoxuan a lesson.
His friends were willing to go but thought the stakes were too low and suggested increasing the wager. Matsui Ichiro managed to find Yang Lin's phone number and asked him to relay a message to Chen Haoxuan about raising the stakes.
Yang Lin called Chen Haoxuan, who arrogantly told him to inform Matsui Ichiro that as long as the wager did not exceed one hundred billion Renminbi, he would accept it.
When Yang Lin conveyed Chen Haoxuan's exact words to Matsui Ichiro, he was furious and felt like strangling Chen Haoxuan. He cursed at Chen Haoxuan, questioning his arrogance due to his wealth.
Despite his anger, Matsui Ichiro felt pleased because when he shared Chen Haoxuan's words with his friends, they were all outraged. They believed that a billionaire daring to act so arrogantly deserved a good lesson, and they could also pick up some pocket money while in China.
Matsui Ichiro and his group headed to China with substantial bets. He brought along twenty-three Karate experts, all prominent figures from Mount Tai North Star, whose collective reputation could represent an entire nation’s Karate. To ensure that Chen Haoxuan would lose spectacularly, they hired many reporters to cover their sparring session with Chen Haoxuan on the 10th.
A martial artist sparring with a billionaire was indeed a rare event, and news of it quickly spread online, sparking discussions about who would win. Some savvy individuals even placed bets on Chen Haoxuan's victory or defeat; while many online were skeptical, numerous people in reality were willing to wager money. Most men bet on the Island Nation participants due to their frequent appearances on television and high reputation in the martial arts community. In contrast, almost all women placed their bets on Chen Haoxuan winning—not for any other reason but simply to support him.
The women betting on Chen Haoxuan typically wagered small amounts—just a few dollars or tens—unlike Matsui Ichiro's group, who were betting hundreds.
On October 7th, Matsui Ichiro arrived in China with his friends and checked into a hotel near New City University. After arriving in China, they weren't focused on gathering information about Chen Haoxuan or training; instead, they indulged in revelry.
Once Chen Haoxuan completed the production of the clothes designed for Lin Hao and the others, he rushed back from New City and immediately resumed training them. By pushing Lin Hao and the others to train daily, Chen Haoxuan aimed to unlock their potential. For instance, their agility had significantly improved compared to before; Zhang Tiezhu had become particularly impressive—while his martial arts skills hadn't increased much, his strength had surged tremendously. He could lift massive stones weighing a thousand pounds with ease; calling him Strongman was certainly fitting.
Chen Haoxuan wanted Lin Hao and the others to unleash all their latent physical power by the 10th.
Ichiro Songjing and his friends were constantly bragging in New City, claiming that Chen Haoxuan was just a spendthrift who could only spend money and had a bit of luck to earn some small change; otherwise, he was worthless. Ichiro even went so far as to say that Chen Haoxuan was a kept man, and his current wealth was entirely due to being supported by wealthy women.
Ichiro had never paid much attention to Chen Haoxuan before and was unaware that Chen was very popular among women in China. His comments led to a flood of online criticism directed at him.
Chen Haoxuan remained oblivious to the outside noise, focusing on imparting his knowledge to Jiang Dong and the others. Yang Lin, in particular, had made remarkable progress. Perhaps it was because he had nearly drowned the other day that he became very serious about his studies, asking questions whenever he didn't understand, even more obedient than an honor student.
Lin Hao and the others had also improved, and as their teacher, Chen Haoxuan had progressed too, particularly in terms of physical strength. However, he found it frustrating that despite spending time in the sun, his skin wouldn't tan. In contrast, Lin Hao and the others had all tanned to a bronze color, exuding masculinity, which made Haoxuan envious.
Why did Chen Haoxuan want to tan? It was simply to shed the image of being a pretty boy. Many people who disliked him would use his appearance against him, which troubled him. Was it wrong to look somewhat feminine? He simply had good looks.
Lin Hao and the others had now adapted to Chen Haoxuan's rigorous training. They no longer felt fear but rather excitement; they eagerly anticipated more challenges from him because the more he pushed them, the faster their skills improved.
On September Eighth, Jiang Xianghan drove to Chen Family Village with Han Yuanchan and her son Han Fenghua. They came to check on how prepared Chen Haoxuan was for facing Ichiro Songjing and his gang. If they felt he wasn't ready to win against them, they would advise him to back off for safety's sake—a shared perspective among them.
When Jiang Xianghan arrived at Chen Haoxuan's home, he was not there; he had taken Lin Hao and the others out for training. The security guard on duty escorted Jiang Xianghan and her companions to the living room on the second floor, offering them tea and snacks while they waited for Chen Haoxuan's return.
Inside Chen Haoxuan's villa, Han Yuanchan marveled at its luxury and exclaimed, "My goodness! How much did such a luxurious villa cost?"
"Over ten million Renminbi; that's what Xuan told me," Jiang Xianghan replied while eating a banana. Han Fenghua sat beside her, leisurely munching on a bunch of bananas as well.
"Over ten million Renminbi for such a luxurious villa? That's unbelievable! I thought it might cost several tens of millions!" Han Yuanchan said in surprise.
"The reason it's so cheap is that Xuan designed the house himself, and many of the furnishings are made by him as well; that's why it's so affordable," Jiang Xianghan explained.
"He can do business, design clothes, design villas, carve stone, solve mathematical problems that no one in the world can answer, and he is also skilled in martial arts... What kind of man is he?" Han Yuanchan exclaimed.
