Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081
The strength that Zhou Wendong just displayed when he flipped over the car truly terrified the assassin. Being at the Late Stage of Dark Energy, he was a minor expert among ancient martial artists. Yet, the more capable he was, the more shocked the assassin felt.
This business vehicle must weigh at least 3,000 kilograms, and to overturn it in one go, Zhou Wendong’s strength must be over 3,000 kilograms.
The assassin knew that a strength of 3,000 kilograms could usually compare to the power of someone Half-step into Void Energy, and now Zhou Wendong’s strength has reached such a terrifying level. This made him wonder to what extent his seniors, his mentors, would be powerful!
Behind every formidable expert, there must be an even more formidable presence.
No one’s cultivation comes from nowhere; all ancient martial artists have their own heritage. Zhou Wendong is so young and has already reached beyond the level of Half-step into Void Energy. The sect and family standing behind him must indeed be a colossal force!
Fierce Tiger might be fearsome, but only their leader is at the Boundary of Virtual Energy. And Zhou Wendong, so young, has achieved cultivation over Half-Step Xujing Realm, which means if his organization really wanted to deal with Fierce Tiger, they could likely crush them effortlessly.
Thinking about this possibility, the assassin was even more terrified. At this moment, he couldn’t care less about maintaining any business norms. It was merely a matter of betraying Luo Xuehai, and as long as he could save his own life, as long as he could ensure Fierce Tiger wasn’t targeted, he had no reservations.
"Luo Xuehai, this guy..." A cold glint flashed in Zhou Wendong’s eyes. He had some impression of this man, who seemed to be a very good friend of Duan Jiahao, a director of Jiahao Entertainment. Originally, Duan Jiahao had schemed against Sky Horse Records, but was foiled by the master’s intervention. It was unclear if Luo Xuehai was acting on Duan Jiahao’s instigation. Not daring to make decisions on his own, Zhou Wendong raised his hand, and a gust of wind pierced the assassin’s throat. Following that, Zhou Wendong quickly got up and walked toward the gates of Tianyu Villa.
At that moment, more vehicles were approaching in the distance. Worried about being seen, Zhou Wendong hastened his pace and soon charged through the gates of the villa.
After entering the villa, he had to pass through a 300-meter long corridor. There were many standalone small houses around, each beautifully constructed, but Zhou Wendong had no interest in admiring them. He walked while pulling out his cell phone.
He called Yang Fei and immediately rushed over upon learning his location.
By this time, Li Changlin had already ordered the meal and was waiting for Zhou Wendong to arrive. Seeing him enter, Li Changlin gestured for him to sit down and asked indifferently, "Did you find out who those people are?"
"They belong to an assassin organization called Fierce Tiger. They tracked us because Luo Xuehai paid them five million to kill the master," Zhou Wendong revealed the information he had gathered. Yang Fei, sitting beside him, was immediately taken aback.
He had also heard of the Killer Organization named Fierce Tiger, which was rumoured to have killed many formidable individuals. Its leader seemed to be a Boundary of Virtual Energy expert, even ancestors from third-rate families feared his cultivation.
"Yang Fei, have you had encounters with Fierce Tiger?" Although Li Changlin was somewhat surprised that Luo Xuehai had hired Fierce Tiger to kill him, it was nothing more than that, and he was not afraid.
However, seeing Yang Fei’s expression, Li Changlin became a bit curious and couldn’t help but ask.
This so-called curiosity is essentially about prying into affairs.
Li Changlin, though his strength was infinitely close to that of the ancestors of those families, he was after all only human, with the seven emotions and six desires, which was perfectly normal.
Yang Fei sighed softly and shared some of the information he knew.
It turned out that the leader of the Fierce Tiger Organization was rumored to be a talented descendant of the previous generation of the Hu Family. Back in the day, he competed for the position of Family Head against the legitimate eldest son and failed. Afterwards, he was forced to flee overseas and thus established the Fierce Tiger Organization.
When the leader of the Fierce Tiger left, he was already at the Half-Step into Void Energy Realm. Now, decades have passed, and Yang Fei suspected that the opponent was at least at the Middle Stage of Virtual Energy, if not the later stage.
Li Changlin nodded with a smile, a failed runaway from the Hu Family, although he founded the Fierce Tiger Assassin Organization, it seemed that its development focus wasn’t in Xuanyuan Country. It was likely that those who made contact with Luo Xuehai this time were just some underlings; given the Fierce Tiger leader’s temperament, he probably wouldn’t enter Xuanyuan Country again.
"That’s it for this matter. Wendong, I called you over mainly to teach Yang Fei some martial arts. You will stay in Shanghai City for this period and properly guide Yang Fei for three months." Luo Xuehai was audacious enough to hire an assassin to plot against him, naturally, Li Changlin wouldn’t let it slide so easily.
However, this was his own grudge against Luo Xuehai, and he would not ask Zhou Wendong to take action.
Casually tearing open a pair of chopsticks, Li Changlin summoned the two and began to eat.
"Understood, Master," Zhou Wendong didn’t ask further and nodded in agreement.
Yang Fei also reached out to pick up a pair of chopsticks, stripping away the packaging while sheepishly asking: "That, Big Brother Li, if I’m studying martial arts with Wendong, how should I address you?"
"That depends on what martial arts you’re planning to learn. If it’s Wendong’s martial arts, of course, you’ll call Wendong Master. If you’re learning my martial arts, then you’ll have to call me Master." Martial arts aren’t casually passed on, Li Changlin appreciated Yang Fei, but this is how things had to be done properly.
If Yang Fei wanted to learn martial arts, he first had to get his identity sorted properly.
Li Changlin’s martial arts were not for show; if Yang Fei became his disciple, he had to take on responsibility. If Yang Fei chose to become a disciple of Zhou Wendong, Li Changlin didn’t mind continuing to treat Yang Fei as a brother.
"Of course, I’m learning from you. If I learn from Wendong, wouldn’t that make me your grand-disciple?" Yang Fei was no fool; who would opt for a disciple when there’s a Master available? Why demean oneself to be someone else’s grandchild willingly!
No, absolutely not, being a grandchild was something he could not do.
Yang Fei saw things quite clearly; Zhou Wendong was Li Changlin’s disciple, and if he were to take Zhou Wendong as his Master, that would essentially make him Li Changlin’s grand-disciple, which was totally not acceptable as it would unnecessarily lower his own status.
"As you wish." Li Changlin himself didn’t know what Yang Fei was thinking. Actually, if he became Zhou Wendong’s disciple, Li Changlin would then be able to deal with him impartially. But seeing that Yang Fei seemed unwilling, Li Changlin naturally wouldn’t force it, so he said with a smile: "Alright then, I won’t bother you with the cumbersome formalities of a discipleship ceremony. Just pour me a cup of wine and offer me a cup of tea, and we’ll consider the discipleship confirmed. Wendong, from now on, you help Master teach Yang Fei the Nine Yang Divine Art. Whether or not you pass on your own arts, that’s not my concern."
