In his thirties, with a weathered appearance and casually dressed in a dojo uniform, he effortlessly drew the attention of everyone around him with just a simple statement.
"Director!"
"Director, that person is too ruthless."
"That's Director Si from the Association."
"Isn't he the Black Belt Seventh Dan?"
"It seems that kid is in big trouble. But he's still so young; will this Director really lower himself?"
At that moment, whether it was the trainees and instructors from the Association or the visiting guests, everyone began to buzz with discussion or complaints.
Yang Xiaoyou and Qi Menglu, along with Ye Shi, who was responsible for the reception, were also astonished, covering their mouths in disbelief. They seemed unable to recover from Chen Hao's swift actions. Initially, she had wanted to step in and stop things, but the conflict escalated too quickly for her to intervene. She had thought Chen Hao might face some difficulties, but this unexpected outcome left her stunned.
No wonder he had nonchalantly helped his somewhat frail companion; no one expected him to be this strong. However, now that the Director had appeared, the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to control.
When the Golden Dragon Dojo was first established, it gained its reputation through Director Si's challenges. The foundation was still quite weak, and now, in such a public setting, a senior instructor from the Association had been taken down in one move. If word got out, the repercussions would be extremely detrimental.
Whether for the sake of his disciple's honor or the reputation of the Association, he had to demand an explanation from Chen Hao.
Although Chen Hao's performance had swiftly dealt with Jiang Richeng, those present did not consider him comparable to the Dojo Master. Not to mention, the Black Belt Seventh Dan he held made him a symbol of martial prowess in the eyes of ordinary people.
Beside him, Yang Xiaoyou observed the fellow who had recently stirred up quite a commotion. Initially, she thought he was merely a skilled fighter.
In the Chinese Empire, there were many fighters and martial artists from various schools. While many possessed formidable combat abilities and physical qualities, in this relatively peaceful era, most martial artists might reach great heights in their fighting skills but rarely had opportunities to kill.
Even though a martial artist who had never killed could still exude a fierce aura, they lacked a subtle feeling that those who had taken lives possessed—something ordinary people might not discern.
However, due to recent memories and personality shifts, Yang Xiaoyou had become quite sensitive to these aspects. It seemed that the Dojo Master was not simply a Black Belt Seventh Dan after all.
With this thought in mind, Yang Xiaoyou narrowed her eyes. Although Chen Hao was still far from reaching his peak compared to herself, Feng Lin, and Luo Guohui, when it came to his innate qualities alone, he could easily handle a so-called Black Belt Seventh Dan.
Nevertheless, for now, he needed time to grow. If he faced an ordinary Black Belt Seventh Dan, perhaps Chen Hao could hold his own; even if he lost, he could do so gracefully and ensure his safety. However, facing someone with blood on their hands would be a different story altogether.
"Hey, my Dojo Master isn't trying to bully him, is he?" Yang Xiaoyou remarked as she watched the Black Belt Seventh Dan approach Chen Hao without any reservations.
Unfortunately, Feng Lin was busy managing the shrine; otherwise, she would have gladly come along to explain to Qi Menglu what it meant to have flashy yet ineffective martial arts.
"Just teaching him a lesson on behalf of his elders. At such a young age, being so ruthless could lead to serious consequences if he doesn't temper his sharpness," said the man in his thirties calmly after glancing at Yang Xiaoyou.
His words carried an air of righteousness, suggesting that if his disciple won, he wouldn't resort to heavy-handed tactics. His demeanor silenced most of the onlookers; after all, the sound of Jiang Richeng's bones breaking had sent shivers down their spines. The aggressive attitude Jiang had displayed earlier seemed trivialized as mere playful banter among peers.
At that moment, Chen Hao furrowed his brow as he regarded the man who had captured everyone's attention nearby. His expression was serious; although he had dealt with Jiang Richeng easily enough, he understood that taking on an opponent's attack meant acknowledging their considerable strength.
Since this man was the opponent's master and an officially recognized holder of the Black Belt Seventh Dan title, Chen Hao feared he might not stand a chance against him.
"How shameless! I'm not learning anymore. If I stay here too long, my heart might turn bad. I'd rather go learn from Grandpa Ji."
Hearing such righteous words, Qi Menglu, who had been aware of everything happening on the side, couldn't help but show an expression of anger and disgust on her face, her arms crossed as she shivered with goosebumps.
Her declaration had a much stronger effect than Yang Xiaoyou's earlier comment. While Yang Xiaoyou was easily brushed off by a single remark, after Qi Menglu spoke, the surrounding students and spectators immediately chimed in.
Especially among the younger male students, many wore expressions filled with enthusiasm.
"Exactly!"
"That's right, it's really shameless."
This was the venue of the Golden Dragon Dojo. Director Jin's favoritism towards his own people was evident, and in the end, Chen Hao getting injured would just be considered a regular civil dispute if it escalated to the police, especially since Chen Hao had indeed struck quite hard.
However, now under Qi Menglu's influence, the commotion around them had exceeded expectations. Qi Menglu had attended classes here several times and had built up quite a bit of popularity; everyone loved a pretty face. Her single complaint stirred up a reaction that even made Yang Xiaoyou widen her eyes in surprise.
Had they been overlooking this girl too much? Yet, as the person involved, Qi Menglu still wore a silly and confused expression, seemingly unaware of the changes happening around her.
"Haha, very good. I remember you. When you filled out your family background form, it seemed like your family owns a fitness center. I trusted every student back then, but unfortunately, you betrayed that trust for personal gain." Jin Xiangshi's response speed was truly exceptional.
He was adept at shifting attention and placing blame.
As soon as he said that, the voices supporting Qi Menglu quieted down significantly.
On the side, Qi Menglu, who was already somewhat confused about the situation, felt wronged by such accusations and grabbed Yang Xiaoyou's arm, her face turning red with anger.
It was the first time she encountered such a situation, and she had little experience in handling it.
On one side, Yang Xiaoyou, who was tightly gripping her arm as a sort of punching bag, rolled his eyes in frustration.
Taking a step forward, Yang Xiaoyou said, "Since Dojo Master wants to educate us, then let’s go ahead. You are the elder, so it’s only right. However, since this situation arose because of me, you should educate both of us at the same time. That way, we can share the burden." As he spoke, Qi Menglu kept trying to pull him back but to no avail, ultimately just standing by anxiously.
Seeing Yang Xiaoyou’s seemingly resigned expression, Jin Xiangshi couldn’t help but smile slightly. Those who understand the situation are wise; to mitigate the impact of this incident, he absolutely could not back down easily. It seemed that this kid understood that point as well.
Meanwhile, Chen Hao furrowed his brows and approached Yang Xiaoyou, whispering to him, "Don’t get involved. I can take care of myself."
"Can you really take care of yourself? Then you should fight back. I believe Director won’t mind; after all, he is a Black Belt Seventh Dan." Yang Xiaoyou scratched his head sheepishly and took a couple of steps toward Jin Xiangshi, looking as if he wanted to ask for advice.
"Of course. I always believe in winning people over with virtue; I will definitely make you both submit willingly," Jin Xiangshi said with a hint of arrogance flashing across his face. If the two put on an act of being unyielding and indifferent to pain, it would be difficult for him to strike against those who wouldn’t resist for the sake of face.
It was precisely because they should resist that it would showcase his strength and control.
However, just as he finished speaking, the seemingly harmless Yang Xiaoyou suddenly kicked upward with astonishing speed.
The violent speed cut through the air with a faint whistling sound. As soon as Yang Xiaoyou made his move, years of martial arts training kicked in for Jin Xiangshi, and he thought to himself that something was wrong. A terrifying sense of crisis surged in his heart, prompting him to instinctively execute a double kick to intercept the attack aimed at his vital points.
Unfortunately, the speed of the opponent's kick exceeded all expectations. Just as his double kick made contact with the opponent's foot, an unbearable and excruciating pain shot through him like a piercing agony that penetrated deep into his bones, causing all his strength to dissipate instantly!
