Chapter 82: 0077 Diaoist Science and Technology (Two Chapters Combined Asking for Monthly Ticket)_2

"Ruo Jun, where is Uncle Lin?"

Lu Chenzhou asked as he entered.

"Dad, Teacher Xiao Lu is looking for you. I will wait for you in the training room."

"Go ahead, review it first, and I will check it later."

Soon, Lin Bin came downstairs looking exhausted.

"Teacher Xiao Lu, what’s the matter?"

"Mr. Lin, may I ask you some legal questions?"

"No problem."

Lu Chenzhou talked to Lin Bin about the situation with his father and the company he worked for.

"I’ll look into it for you."

"Thank you, I have to get to my class now."

Not long after, Lin Bin arrived at the Martial Arts Room.

"The owner of Baokang Machinery, Wang Kang, seems to be in debt, with quite a few lawsuits against him. However, it looks like he’s got some backing; I’ve found out that he’s connected to the Xihe Martial Arts Hall in the Tiger Spring District, and the master of that academy is Wang Jian."

Lu Chenzhou pondered thoughtfully. These days, Martial Artists held a highly esteemed status; when one person became a martial artist, it was like a rising tide lifting all boats. Wang Jian and Wang Kang were clearly related. Wang Kang’s brazenness could very well be due to his reliance on a Martial Artist family member to bully the weak.

Of course, that was just his conspiracy theory.

The real situation might have other reasons.

His father and others could legally sue Wang Kang, but for ordinary people, the time and financial costs of claiming their rights were high, and facing such a persistent debtor, they simply couldn’t afford the drain.

In the end, many cases simply faded away.

Even under the clear skies and bright sun of Da Xia, there were places beyond the reach of the law. Some Martial Artists, officials, and influential businessmen, if they conspired together, the law found it hard to punish them. Ordinary people didn’t fear the "Black Knights"; what they feared most were those with legal identities doing illegal things.

"Is everything okay now, Teacher Xiao Lu?"

"Yeah, it’s fine."

"Then I’ll be off, the Yang Flame Lamp on the second floor of my house is broken, I need to find someone to fix it."

After Lin Bin left, Lu Chenzhou opened the memo app on his phone.

He recorded the names of Wang Kang and Wang Jian, as his father’s issues would need to be addressed someday. A person practicing Martial Arts should either have an open heart or clear thoughts.

"Will Teacher Xiao Lu come next week?"

"Yes, practice more at home."

Lu Chenzhou left the Haotai Villa for his next student’s house and called Lu Guoping on the way, asking him and his colleagues to start the legal procedures together.

Su City was a big city, where the rule of law was not bad.

Such cases, when arbitrated with solid evidence, were usually decisively in favor, but the hard part was the execution that followed. It’s not easy to get the money from this kind of debtor, especially one with a Martial Artist backing.

A gentleman’s revenge could wait ten years.

His strength and status were not enough yet, as he was just a high school student, and he didn’t want to bother Ji Xuantong. Dragon City High School generally did not interfere with matters beyond the personal safety of the students.

Let’s wait and see.

...

At four o’clock in the afternoon, at Flying Swallow Martial Arts Hall.

As soon as he walked in, Lu Chenzhou heard the hearty laughter of Du Men, surrounded by a group of students, triumphantly talking about the enrollment exam.

"Brother Lu has arrived!"

Hearing the shout, Du Men’s face lit up with joy.

"Chenzhou, we’ve been waiting for you."

"Congratulations, Du Men, you finally get to attend a Martial Arts School."

"Haha, I’m just waiting for the college entrance exam the year after next. The base rank requirement for Pingjiang Martial Arts University is Fourth Rank. For someone like me who has already passed the special entrance exam, as long as my rank is sufficient and my exam score isn’t too bad, I can get in directly."

"That’s pretty good."

"You’re even better, sure to get into Dragon City Martial Arts University."

The other students watched the conversation between the two "Martial Tyrants" with envy. Getting into Pingjiang Martial Arts University or Dragon City Martial Arts University meant you were no ordinary person. Whether or not you could stay on campus after four years, graduating would mean being an elite like Shi Ruyu.

"I’m here!"

Qin Zheng jogged over.

"Long time no see."

Lu Chenzhou smiled.

Qin Zheng joked:

"For a busy person like you, it’s normal not to see us. We still get together for meals all the time; we just don’t tell you... Ah, after all, we are not from the same world anymore."

In the end, Qin Zheng didn’t persist with Martial Arts Training, slipping back into his sporadic practice. He was far from reaching the Third Rank, unable to cross the barrier of willpower. He knew he wasn’t cut out for practicing martial arts – lacking talent and not putting in the effort.

There’s nothing wrong with being a salted fish.

Lu Chenzhou casually asked,

"You’re still in touch with Sister Li, right? I notice the little group chat is quiet."

Qin Zheng smiled.

"Now we chat privately to avoid you being the third wheel."

He turned out to be quite successful in the pursuit of love.

Lu Chenzhou smiled:

"Together yet?"

"Not yet, but almost, hehehe... My main goal now is to get into Su City University’s law program; I’ve given up on martial arts schools."

Du Men added:

"That’s also good; not everyone has to pursue Martial Arts as their life."

Old Zhang sighed,

"That’s right, Xiao Lu and Xiao Du are, after all, a minority."

Seeing everyone had arrived, Du Men organized,

"Let’s go, I’m treating today; let’s finish early and get home early."

...

After the meal, Lu Chenzhou visited his master.

Ji Xuantong brought some important news.

"There’s going to be a [Su City Hundred Academy Exchange Competition] at Su City Stadium at the beginning of November. Our Academy has registered, and we want you, Du Men, and Shi Ruyu to participate."

"Okay... is there a prize?"

"Hahaha, of course, but not cash. This exchange competition is sponsored by [Diaoist Science and Technology Group], and the top eight will get a [Seeking Dao Model 9 Smart Car]. The first prize is the top configuration; not only is it bulletproof, but it also has the most advanced [Virtual Avoidance Lamp] installed. The car I drive is from the Seeking Dao series, but it’s the early Model 6. The Model 9 top version currently costs 2 million."

"2 million? That’s quite a high-level competition."

Even the basic models start at a million.

Lu Chenzhou’s tone was slightly excited.

Ji Xuantong said,

"Diaoist Science and Technology and Divine Martial Technology are probably the top two in domestic intelligent machinery manufacturing. However, Diaoist mainly operates in the north. Sponsoring the Su City Martial Arts Academy exchange is probably an attempt to break into the southern market.

But don’t set your expectations too high; even with a Fifth Rank Cultivation, it would be very difficult to secure first place. There are sixty Martial Arts Academies, big and small, in Su City with several hundred registered, and not a few Instant Enlightenment talents like you who’ve transferred to Fangshan. Of course, don’t feel too much pressure; with your standard, top ten should be no problem."

"I understand, can only those with Low Class root bone register?"

"Yes, Diaoist hosts these competitions to scout for talent, hoping to support grassroots individuals by offering rewards to benefit the company. Higher-Class marrow individuals are nurtured by the state and take part in school or national competitions."

Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou felt more confident.

There was still over two months to the competition.

With his Breakthrough Realm pace, he had a chance of winning the championship.

He had also inquired about other high school transfers in the school, and there were very few with Fifth Rank Cultivation at his age. This was Fangshan, Su City’s gathering place for the finest talent; there weren’t many stronger than him in Su City. If he could take the first place and sell the car at a discounted price for cash, it would be more than enough to live comfortably for a while.

He was not interested in driving anyway.
