I thought that the fight between the two top masters would be the most interesting, but I didn't expect that the highlight was yet to come. Most of the people present didn't know who Grandmaster Chen was. After all, he was a low-key person and an Inner Strength martial artist. However, judging from Ouyang Feng's respect, Grandmaster Chen definitely had the power and status to suppress everyone else!
If looks could hurt, I would have been riddled with holes by now. On their faces, they couldn't hide their envy and jealousy, but more than that, they couldn't believe their eyes.
A peerless master like this was beyond their understanding. Originally, they thought that Director Du and Ouyang Feng were at the top of the pyramid, but now, they realized that they were just frogs at the bottom of a well. There was always someone better than you.
To be able to become his disciple was definitely a blessing accumulated over eight lifetimes. This brat must have had some dogshit luck. A moment ago, he was facing a rain of bullets and could die at any moment. But now, he had obtained the favor of a peerless expert.
"Grandmaster, please take a look at me as well. I'm gifted, have an excellent foundation, and possess the root of wisdom. I'm truly a rare genius. With proper training, I'll definitely become an earth-shattering figure in the future. You'll be proud of me."
"Forget it. Look at you, I'm too lazy to beat you up."
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a chance. Usually, according to the temper of the main characters in novels, they'll reject the olive branch extended by a master. That's the way to show off!
Maybe the master will be angry and choose you guys! "
Hearing this, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of person was this? Actually, even I didn't expect that Grandmaster Chen would personally come and save me. After all, Director Du was occupied. In a fight between masters of similar strength, it only takes a short moment for them to turn defeat into victory. That's why he had to be fully focused and couldn't pay attention to me.
Moreover, after seeing Grandmaster Chen's almost unheard of methods, I felt a little hopeful. Without a doubt, a martial artist's pursuit of strength has never stopped.
Grandmaster Chen's strength is the strongest I've ever seen. Most importantly, he's also an Inner Strength martial artist. Although I'm leaning towards Qi-Jin now, it's undeniable that Inner Strength is not to be underestimated. Especially that punch just now, Qi-Jin martial artists can only hope to compete with it!
"Ahem, Grandmaster Chen, I was too distracted at that time and couldn't make a decision in time. I'm really sorry. I've thought it through now. You're willing to accept me as your disciple, which is a great honor for me!"
I said this from the bottom of my heart. Perhaps before I met Grandmaster Chen in person, I would have scoffed. After all, there were very few Inner Strength martial artists in Hua Xia.
The so-called number one martial artist was probably just an empty title, but that punch just now gave me an unprecedented shock. Yes, it was a shock. In the eyes of most martial artists, compared to the subtlety of Qi-Jin, Inner Strength often gave people a sense of clumsiness. However, once a martial artist has reached the acme of perfection, like Grandmaster Chen, a master who combines dexterity, domineeringness, hardness and gentleness, will definitely be able to transcend this limitation.
Originally, Curator Du had planned to accept me as his disciple, but he hesitated for a long time. To some extent, with the speed of my growth, including the Blood Demon's Remnant Consciousness in my body, I would either become a dragon or a phoenix among men in the future, or I would be condemned by thousands of people. Of course, everything has its own risks.
If he could train me, it would definitely be something to be proud of for the rest of his life. On the contrary, if the second situation occurred, he would also have to bear a heavy responsibility.
Most importantly, Curator Du was a Qi-Jin martial artist. Even though his attainments in this area had reached the peak, he still didn't have the confidence to teach me well. In order to avoid misleading the younger generation, Curator Du had to give up the idea.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to introduce me to Grandmaster Chen. In the end, after the commotion on the assassin's platform, Grandmaster Chen became very interested in me.
He even traveled thousands of miles to invite me again. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that in the entire Hua Xia Country, there were less than five people who had such qualifications!
And I was one of them!
Some of the big shots present understood what this meant. Their gazes towards me had changed from disdain and contempt to awe and envy. As long as I followed Grandmaster Chen, I might become one of the top experts in Nan Yun Province in the future.
"Wow, why is this not cool at all? Wouldn't it be more cool to directly reject a Grandmaster?"
"Tsk, you're trying to goad me into accepting your offer. If it were you, would you be able to resist this kind of temptation?"
Everyone started arguing.
Hearing my agreement, Grandmaster Chen's face was filled with a gratified smile. Luckily, I didn't reject him. Otherwise, I would be considered an ungrateful person. He had asked Curator Du to put in a good word for me, but he didn't manage to convince me. He was a bit surprised and could only rush to the engagement ceremony.
Perhaps in the eyes of some big shots, it was making a mountain out of a molehill, but Grandmaster Chen didn't think so. For such a rare young talent, he had to 'visit the thatched cottage three times'.
"Well, since you've agreed, I should also give you a gift." Grandmaster Chen nodded lightly.
Hearing this, everyone's envy and jealousy became even stronger. Oh my god, how could the gift of such a master be ordinary!
"Uh, Senior Grandmaster, you really don't have to be so polite. Although I'm thick-skinned, I understand that I shouldn't accept an undeserved reward." I was a bit happy.
In the end, Grandmaster Chen didn't seem to have any intention of taking out the gift. Instead, his gaze fell on Shangguan Guoqiang.
"Come, let's continue our previous topic. After thinking for so long, you should have some ideas. Just give me a rough location and time."
Grandmaster Chen's face suddenly darkened. With his internal energy blocking, even if Ouyang Feng wanted to send a voice transmission, it would be impossible.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to ask me?
Making things difficult for me is equivalent to becoming an enemy of the country. Do you understand? "The commander-in-chief was flustered and exasperated.
Not far away, Ouyang Feng's expression changed. At this moment, it wasn't appropriate for him to say anything.
"At this critical moment, you're still pretending to be Mr. Shangguan. You sure have guts!" Grandmaster Chen narrowed his eyes. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through everything.
"Pretending!?"
His simple words set off a huge wave. He was obviously the commander-in-chief, how could he pretend to be him?
