The ultimate master in the city

Chapter 15 A Boring Martial Arts Tournament

Chen Siya leaned over to look, and when she saw that the speaker was Zhou Fengchen, she was stunned for a moment. Jiang Hao, who was standing next to her, said, "Could he also be here specifically to compete?"

Qi Qi licked her lips, seemingly still tasting that "country bumpkin" flavor, and said angrily, "He's just an ignorant, arrogant bumpkin!"

"What?" Old Chen turned around in surprise and asked, "You know him?"

Chen Siya shook her head, "I don't know him. We just rode back together. I don't know how he ended up here too."

Zhou Fengchen felt incredibly awkward under the gaze of countless eyes. Just as he was about to explain, Jiang Suoshen, the man in the middle dressed in black, chuckled and said, "The Jiang Family Martial Arts Club is a place for martial arts exchange. Since Chenyuan Martial Arts School is temporarily empty, those of you below can come up. Brother, please!"

The woman on stage with the long black braid smirked and waved, saying, "Come up here!"

"no……"

Before Zhou Fengchen could speak, the seven or eight men around him shoved him forward: "What do you mean 'isn't'? Go! Teach this donkey-faced guy a lesson! Don't tell us you're just faking it!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man beside Old Chen in the distance said, "Master, doesn't this seem against the rules? What if this kid gets injured because he doesn't know his own limitations..."

Old Chen's eyes darted around, and he said, "Since he dared to accept the challenge, he must have some skills. If he wins, he'll be fighting for us. If he loses, it doesn't matter. We've already lost all face, so we don't care about this one match."

The middle-aged man nodded and said nothing more.

"Hurry up!" The woman with the long braid on the stage was clearly impatient. "If you can't handle it, just admit defeat!"

Zhou Fengchen originally wanted to decline, as his father had warned him before his death not to show off in front of others, especially since the two sides were not even in the same league and there was no comparison. However, upon hearing the words "admit defeat," his eyes widened immediately.

Admit defeat? The word "admit defeat" didn't exist in his dictionary. He sneered and pushed his way through the crowd to the arena.

The man in black with a long braid gave a wicked smile, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "I am Sun Ming from the Jiang Family Martial Arts Club!"

Zhou Fengchen casually clasped his hands in a fist salute, then glanced around at the people below the stage. Not forgetting his purpose, he swept his hair aside, revealing his entire face, and shouted loudly, "Take a good look at me..."

"Whoa!"

The crowd below the stage, whether it was Chen Lao, Chen Siya's side, Jiang Suoshen's side, or just casual spectators, were all stunned. Was this kid desperate for fame? He pulled this stunt before even fighting? But Zhou Fengchen's next sentence completely baffled them.

"Whose child am I anyway?"

"Ha!" Sun Ming scoffed. "Interesting!"

Seeing that no one answered, Zhou Fengchen was very disappointed and said impatiently, "What are you talking about?"

He then pointed to Jiang Suoshen's group in the audience, "You guys come along too!"

Jiang Suoshen and his group widened their eyes in surprise.

"Pfft—" Old Chen and his group burst into laughter, but the laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.

Zhou Fengchen then pointed at them and said, "You can come along too!"

This is not to say that Zhou Fengchen is arrogant. He has been fighting since he was a child and has never had a one-on-one fight. He has always fought against five or more people. People like Sun Ming are no different from ordinary people to him. Moreover, he is in a bad mood and really wants to have a good fight.

Umbrellas swayed in the crowd, and the audience erupted in cheers! Has this guy gone mad?

"That's too arrogant!" Sun Ming felt insulted and shouted, throwing a left hook.

Zhou Fengchen remained motionless, staring blankly at the incoming fist. Just when everyone thought this "madman" had been scared out of his wits, he quickly moved to the side and then slapped his arm horizontally with lightning speed, striking Sun Ming's right ribs with a loud crack.

"ah--"

Sun Ming let out a miserable cry as his body flew sideways, tumbling several times before falling off the stage. He groaned and groaned for a long time before finally getting up.

The rain poured down on the umbrellas. The audience below waved their umbrellas, blinked, and before they could even process what was happening, a clamor erupted.

"One move! Just one move!"

"How did he do that?"

"That amazing?"

……

Old Chen and his group frowned, their expressions grave.

Jiang Suoshen and his group stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Zhou Fengchen on the stage didn't take it seriously at all and asked, "I'm 21 years old this year. I got lost here eighteen years ago. I've come back now to reunite with my family and see my biological parents. Think carefully, which family lost a child eighteen years ago!"

No one was paying attention to that statement. The three men carried Sun Ming to Jiang Suoshen and said, "Master, it seems Senior Brother Sun has a fractured rib!"

Jiang Suoshen gritted his teeth and said to the man next to him, "Junior brother, why don't you go up and give it a try!"

The man nodded, his face grim, and jumped onto the arena, clasping his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Hou Ke, please enlighten me!"

Before Zhou Fengchen could react, he raised his foot and launched a flying kick.

Seeing no response, Zhou Fengchen was extremely frustrated and lost interest in this so-called martial arts competition. With a strange flash, he appeared to Hou Ke's side, grabbed the other's neck with one hand, and supported the other's buttocks with the other, lifting him high into the air like a child. Then, to Hou Ke's horrified gaze, he raised his foot and kicked him horizontally in the waist.

The series of movements were clean, efficient, and frighteningly fast.

"what!"

Hou Ke screamed and flew five or six meters away from the arena, crashing into a group of people with a thud, instantly knocking down a large number of them!

boom!

The entire audience erupted in cheers. Who was that young man? This was outrageous!

"Is this just a publicity stunt?"

"It's an act! It must be an act, it's so bad!"

……

Jiang Suoshen and his group turned pale.

The people next to Old Chen also changed their expressions repeatedly. As the saying goes, the layman watches the show, while the expert sees the details. They were well aware of how terrifying that young man was, and if they were in the same position, they wouldn't be able to avoid it either.

"Master, can you tell who this young man is? Even I wasn't confident I could beat him! Yet I couldn't even last a single move against him!"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and asked, but as soon as he spoke, he noticed that Old Chen was trembling all over and his eyes were wide open.

"Master/Grandpa, what's wrong?" The people around also noticed something was wrong and hurriedly gathered around.

"He, he..." Old Chen's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion, and then he fainted.

……

Zhou Fengchen had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave the courtyard. He asked around at clothing stores, food stalls, and barbershops near "Chenyuan Martial Arts School," but was kicked out of every one of them.

He stood on the street for a while, then casually tore up the address his father had left him. He bought a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) from a roadside stall and walked forward aimlessly while eating it.

Eighteen years have passed. Even rural houses should have been demolished by now. These houses in the city have probably been demolished long ago. I wonder where my biological parents have gone.

My dad only gave me the address, but not the names of my biological parents, their identities, backgrounds, or contact information. How am I supposed to find them?

He even suspected that he was simply an orphan, and that his father had just randomly picked an address to test him. Given his father's personality, he might actually do something like that.

Now he's homeless. He'd rather die than go back to Gejiaji. His sister, Zhou Linglong, seems to have come to this city too, but four or five years have passed. Who knows where she went or how she's doing?

……

The crowd dispersed inside the courtyard of "Chenyuan Martial Arts School".

In a quaint, antique-style bedroom, Old Chen had just woken from his coma. He glanced around and urgently said to Chen Siya, "Quick! Quick! Call your parents back! That kid on the stage just now must be your brother!"

"Huh? My brother?" Chen Siya was stunned.

"That person is your brother?" Jiang Hao and Qi Qi were also stunned.
