Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 144 - 7 Request

Chapter 144: Chapter 7 Request

At the Zhu Family Martial Arts Hall, in the middle of the grand hall, everyone fixed their gaze on Lu Hualiang, as if he were a deity descending to earth.

Such a presence, akin to the stabilizing pillar of Zhu Family Martial Arts Hall.

Amidst the expectant eyes of the crowd.

Lu Hualiang’s expression was calm as he walked to Zhu Jiyi, gently fastening Zhu Jiyi’s robe.

Zhu Jiyi’s clear voice echoed: "Master, the weather is cold, and you are injured. You should be resting in bed."

"I felt unease without you return," Zhu Jiyi showed a loving expression, smiled and said: "I explained everything in my letter."

"Are those two the reinforcements you invited?" Zhu Jiyi looked at the two behind Lu Hualiang.

Lu Hualiang’s group of four, besides his four disciples, included another man and woman. From their posture, the woman seemed to be the core, while the tall man appeared to be a guard.

"Pill Master Lin, be careful, that man is deeply concealed. I can’t see his reality," Shen Wanpo transmitted in a strand of energy, informing Lin Yuan.

"An expert at the mid-stage of Condensed Vitality?" Lin Yuan’s face remained unmoved, but his heart instantly heightened with caution.

The woman was enticing, she removed her hat, revealing her smooth long hair. Her lips were red, teeth white, eyes like stars, a fair and tranquil complexion, she smiled and bowed to Zhu Jiyi: "Senior Zhu."

"This is, Sixth Miss?" Hong Huaiyun was inwardly shocked as the woman unveiled her true identity.

Sixth Miss Hong Wenli, was one of the direct line of the Hong Family, already surpassed Condensed Vitality in martial arts, reaching the third grade. Among many family disciples, she felt like a rising star, truly a rare talent among the younger generation.

But at this moment, she returned along with Lu Hualiang, and seemed to have a close relation.

Hong Huaiyun slowly lowered his arm, once again gazing over Lu Hualiang’s figure.

The person had outstanding charisma, an extraordinary presence, indeed had potential to climb the Hong Family’s high branch.

"Zhu Family Martial Arts Hall, with Lu Hualiang here today, cannot be moved, it can only be nothing." Hong Huaiyun sighed inwardly.

They gathered two martial halls today, determined to force Zhu Family Martial Arts Hall to choose a side, leaving not a single soul behind.

They needed to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, to intimidate the surrounding small families into submission to their command.

But with Sixth Miss coming forth, he must retreat. After all, his own status in front of Hong Wenli was insignificant.

Xue, Nie and the rest, seeing Hong Huaiyun refrain from action, also held their steps, quietly watching the indifferent man in the center to see how he would act.

"Very well." All Zhu Jiyi’s thoughts were on his eldest disciple, naturally missing Hong Huaiyun’s subtle change, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Master, please wait. I shall check on second brother’s injuries." Lu Hualiang lowered his gaze, respectfully said.

Lu Hualiang finished speaking, took a few steps, stood in front of second brother Fang Luyan. Seemingly understanding some medicine, he checked the pulse, then pressed a few points on his second brother’s body, and second brother awoke from a faint state.

"Eldest brother?" Fang Luyan regained consciousness, immediately joyful.

Fang Luyan wanted to continue, but seeing the quiet scene, swallowed his words instantly.

Lu Hualiang saw this and nodded slightly.

Then he turned and again placed his gaze on Zhu Lingshan and Lin Yuan.

Lu Hualiang’s eyes were deep like a black hole, showing little fluctuation.

"Greetings, Eldest Brother."

Lin Yuan lifted his hand in salute, remaining composed.

"Eldest Brother." Zhu Lingshan then restrained her excitement, delightedly said: "Your return is so good. That person injured our senior brother, do not let him escape."

Zhu Lingshan pointed at the person with the ordinary blade, his face full of resentment.

Lu Hualiang nodded, turned again, and his gaze fell on Hong Huaiyun.

"My master’s injury, was it caused by this person?" Lu Hualiang’s tone was flat, yet the aura was like a mountain, pressing the person with the ordinary blade to stop breathing.

"So what if it was?" Hong Huaiyun sneered coldly.

No matter how aggressive Lu Hualiang appeared, if he wanted to move his people, he still had to seek his approval.

Moreover, with Sixth Miss present, she would naturally protect her Hong family member, otherwise, how would they maintain family dignity if a joke was made.

"Step up and bow to the master, apologize, and this matter will be over." Lu Hualiang said indifferently.

"Hmm?" These words stunned Hong Huaiyun, immediately his reaction clicked.

This stance by Lu Hualiang was so high, like a peerless master, seemed always ready for a round, turns out he was an ally.

No wonder he returned with Sixth Miss.

Hong Huaiyun instantly became elated, laughed and said: "Wang Dong, bow to Master Zhu Old Man!"

Originally thought Lu Hualiang was to protect the Zhu Family, unexpectedly the tide turned, effortlessly bringing the Zhu Family under his command, why wouldn’t he be pleased?

"Yes!" Wang Dong wielding the ordinary blade, immediately bent down, finished bowing smoothly.

"Senior brother?" The fourth disciple was instantly stupefied, tongue-tied, unable to speak.

"Senior brother, he almost killed the master!" Zhu Lingshan’s expression suddenly changed, agitatedly said: "Almost took master’s life, just a bow and it’s done?"

"A master is like a father. A grudge like this, and you’re just going to let him bow and be done with it?" Zhu Lingshan’s eyes widened suddenly, incredulity filling her beautiful eyes.

"Eldest Brother!" Zhu Lingshan’s eyes welled up with tears, and she loudly questioned, "The enmity for killing one’s father is irreconcilable, and you won’t kill him!!!"

Lu Hualiang observed the scene and chuckled, "Junior Sister, don’t get agitated. Isn’t Master fine? A few days of rest, and he’ll be lively as usual."

"Eldest Brother, but he is..." Zhu Lingshan wanted to continue.

"Hmph! No more words!" Lu Hualiang suddenly shook his internal energy.

Just as Zhu Lingshan was about to struggle to breathe and unable to speak, Lin Yuan’s expression changed. He immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Zhu Lingshan, dispersing all the vibrating energy.

Behind Lin Yuan, Zhu Lingshan widened her beautiful eyes and stared at the Eldest Brother.

There was endless confusion in her eyes, trying to find answers from Lu Hualiang’s face, but his resolute expression left her unable to see through.

Tears silently overflowed from Zhu Lingshan’s eyes.

At this moment, everyone present understood Lu Hualiang’s intentions.

The two martial arts schools suddenly had no intention to fight, all wearing smiles as they watched how Zhu family’s eldest disciple would persuade the stubborn old Zhu Jiyi.

Isn’t it more exciting if something like a master’s murder were to happen?

"Master, don’t get upset. Be careful of your wounds." Lin Yuan immediately circulated his energy to ward off the cold wind around Zhu Jiyi.

He understood that at this moment, perhaps the most disappointed was not Zhu Lingshan but Zhu Jiyi, who had high hopes for Lu Hualiang.

His most cherished disciple, the future pillar of the martial arts school he awaited, now made him utterly disappointed.

"Hua Liang, have you decided?" Zhu Jiyi’s voice trembled like a candle in the wind.

"Master, this is the sixth Miss of the Hong family, Hong Wenli. She has some connections with me and is willing to mediate. Joining the Hong family guards, you can enjoy peace in your later years." Lu Hualiang said in a deep voice, "Rest assured, with the martial arts school in my hands, I will definitely ensure its continued glory."

"Hehe." Zhu Jiyi laughed, tears overflowing from his cloudy eyes, "And the grudge I have, will it go unavenged?"

He thought that Lu Hualiang returned because he understood the purpose of the Zhu family’s martial arts school through the letter, to protect the lives of the school’s disciples.

"Will you just watch your martial brothers march to their deaths?" Zhu Jiyi’s voice trembled, his old eyes full of questioning.

He had clearly stated in the letter that joining the Hong family guards meant the disciples would become pawns, fighting on the front lines. How many would survive?

But Lu Hualiang’s expression was calm, his face emotionless.

Zhu Jiyi looked once again at his proud disciple, whose eyes, once filled with wisdom and love, now flashed with complex lights.

His heart was filled with doubt, disappointment, confusion, and deep pain.

Zhu Jiyi’s heart was mixed with emotions. He had once taught his disciples to uphold righteousness and fear no power, but now he saw his eldest disciple choosing a path completely different from his teachings.

He opened his mouth, trying to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat, only managing a weak sigh.

"Perhaps Hua Liang has his own considerations." Zhu Jiyi tried to deceive himself a little.

But how could such a lie convince himself?

Zhu Jiyi took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in his heart, then slowly said, "Have you really decided so?"

His voice carried a hint of plea, hoping Lu Hualiang would give him the answer he wanted.

"Master! I assure you, the Zhu family’s martial arts school will definitely continue to flourish in my hands!" Lu Hualiang’s voice was calm and resolute, "Joining the Hong family guards is the necessary path!"

Zhu Jiyi was greatly disappointed, he slowly closed his eyes, then suddenly made a decision in his heart.

He forcibly gathered his energy and shouted, "Fang Luyan."

"Disciple is here." Fang Luyan immediately responded.

"I bestow upon you today the position of the head of the Zhu family’s martial arts school. Do you dare to accept it!" Zhu Jiyi said in a deep voice.

Fang Luyan was stunned, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Hualiang’s pair of dark eyes, like black holes, threatening to swallow his soul.

"Disciple, disciple." Fang Luyan shivered, not daring to look any longer, his tone turning timid, unsure of how to respond.

"Answer me!"

"Disciple, disciple dares not." Fang Luyan showed bitterness.

Caught between Master and Eldest Brother’s dispute, how can he choose? Besides, the Eldest Brother’s great reputation was already like a totem among their martial arts school disciples. He too feared tremendously.

"Fine, fine, fine." Zhu Jiyi’s anger surged, his pale face flashed with an unnatural flush.

"Today, whoever dares stand before this old man shall be given the position of head of the school!" Zhu Jiyi’s voice was hoarse, almost like a roar.

All the disciples remained silent as cicadas in the cold, not daring to respond.

Lin Yuan sighed, he didn’t want the old man to be hurt again.

"Master!"

Only to see Lin Yuan step forward, standing three feet in front of Zhu Jiyi, he opened his robe, knelt down, and said solemnly:

"Disciple Lin Yuan, requests Master to bestow the position of head of the school!"
