The main entrance of Lingzhou City's Martial Arts Department (MAD).
Duan Tianhe and Cheng Dongfeng were standing on both sides of the entrance, with several other leaders of the MAD.
An off-road vehicle was slowly approaching, before stopping before the MAD building.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked around forty wearing training robes stepped out.
Duan Tianhe and Cheng Dongfeng went forward to meet him and offered a fist-palm salute, addressing him as Grandmaster Ji.
Grandmaster was an honorific for all individuals rank-seven and above, which was why both rank-eights and nines were addressed so as well.
Incidentally, the middle-aged man before them was a rank-nine martial artist.
His name was Ji Dongxu, an elite of Xibei's Ji clan.
