Xu Zhengyang went to the event in Qi Yunfei's Jaguar. On the way, Qi Yunfei told him about it.
This is a martial arts exchange meeting held once a month.
In the past, they were just small skirmishes, mainly some boxing and combat sports in practical matches.
Generally, martial arts families would attend, but they rarely participated in the fights.
In recent months, many small families that had not appeared before have come out to make an appearance.
This month, even the Sun family, which has some status in San Tai City, has participated.
Moreover, the injury on Qi Yunfei's face was inflicted by a disciple of the Sun family.
Originally, he wasn't on the same level as that disciple. He had just won against a Muay Thai expert on stage and was feeling quite triumphant when the Sun family's disciple came up.
Later, Qi Yunfei learned that the disciple was merely showing off in front of a girl.
"Is the Sun family well-known in our city's martial arts circle?"
"Not the strongest, but they rank among the notable ones. Many martial arts families generally don't come to the surface. If they haven't reached a certain level, they won't come into contact with these people. I also know very little."
As they were talking, the car had arrived at the Western City Sports Center.
The parking lot outside the sports center was packed with cars.
The entrance was bustling with people coming and going.
"Xu Shifu, please wait a moment, I'll call some people…"
Qi Yunfei was worried that something might happen to Xu Zhengyang. Once inside, his own power might be insufficient, but if he called in some people, his influence in this area would still count.
In fact, Qi Yunfei just didn't like to stir up trouble. He had a personal conviction: if he's in the martial arts circle, he must rely on his own skills. If he gets beaten, it's because his skills are inferior, and there's no need for revenge.
Diligent practice or finding helpers to reclaim his honor with similar methods—that's face-saving.
If he lost and used his influence to call a group of people to beat someone up, that would be shameful. That's called not being able to accept defeat.
If he were to really clash with the Sun family, Chen Chusheng would definitely fight the Sun family to the end for his brother. Moreover, the Sun family might not be able to handle Chen Chusheng.
"What are you doing? Do you think I'm here to cause trouble? I'm here just to inquire about some news."
Xu Zhengyang glared at him.
Qi Yunfei agreed verbally but secretly took out his phone to have his subordinates stand by nearby.
He wasn't afraid of a conflict with the Sun family, but if something happened to Xu Zhengyang, Chen Chusheng would definitely skin him alive.
The two of them entered the sports center, one in front of the other.
Immediately, a cacophony of noise hit them, with a ring in the middle where people were sparring back and forth, surrounded by cheers and shouts.
Around the venue, there were many seats, resting areas, and vendors selling cigarettes, alcohol, food, and drinks, making it very lively.
Xu Zhengyang first walked to the middle to take a look.
At that moment, a person in traditional martial arts attire was facing off against a lean, bare-chested combat sports fighter.
The cheers around were high-pitched.
Xu Zhengyang found the martial arts attire amusing, recalling his recent experience pretending to be Master Ma's assistant.
Curious, Xu Zhengyang asked:
"Hey, if traditional martial arts really have skills, why do they let frauds like Master Ma show off?"
Qi Yunfei laughed and said:
"Actually, in a way, they kind of tacitly accept these 'fake masters' and even encourage such behavior."
Xu Zhengyang pondered and then realized that these people had become a shield for families that didn't want to come into the spotlight.
As for why they couldn't easily come into the limelight, Xu Zhengyang believed there must be a significant reason behind it.
But soon, Xu Zhengyang's smile turned into a look of surprise.
The traditional martial artist in the martial arts attire suddenly displayed a fierce aura, like a fierce tiger.
Especially as his arms suddenly stretched out, opening and closing powerfully, attacking fiercely.
The combat sports fighter raised his hands to block but was immediately pushed back, Xu Zhengyang clearly saw that the fighter's arms couldn't handle it and was hit on the forehead.
Then the martial artist stepped forward, making the combat fighter only able to defend.
"This is Tongbi Quan from the Tianjin area," Qi Yunfei explained quietly to Xu Zhengyang.
San Tai City is culturally diverse, being a border area of several provinces, so all kinds of families are not unusual.
As the combat sports fighter tried to counterattack, just as he threw his fists, the martial artist yanked his arms back and then stomped heavily, making a thud sound as he slammed his shoulder into the combat fighter.
The combat fighter staggered back several steps and fell into the crowd.
The surroundings erupted into cheers.
"How skilled is this person?"
Xu Zhengyang asked.
"Probably at the lower level of the 'forces realm'! About the same as the Sun family's disciple," Qi Yunfei analyzed.
Xu Zhengyang was speechless.
Is this all?
Although he was impressed by the martial artist, the actions didn't seem fast to him at all. In fact, they were quite slow. Xu Zhengyang had a thousand ways to take him down instantly.
"That's the Sun family's disciple."
Qi Yunfei happened to see someone sitting not far away and pointed them out to Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang looked over and saw a group of people sitting in a sofa area, chatting and laughing. He immediately walked over.
Qi Yunfei was momentarily stunned, cursing himself for speaking too much, and quickly followed.
The group consisted of three men and three women. Xu Zhengyang smiled and glanced at everyone, not lingering on any particular person.
Especially a girl sitting alone. She was exceptionally beautiful and had a cold demeanor, seemingly out of place here.
But Xu Zhengyang wasn't interested in this type; she was far inferior to Cheng Bao La and even Lin Yourong, so he didn't look much. He smiled and asked:
"Excuse me, which one of you is Young Master Sun?"
No one answered, but they all looked at Xu Zhengyang. A handsome young man with his legs crossed pointed at Xu Zhengyang and said:
"Haha, I know you. You're that second-generation heir from Sanlin Pharmaceuticals. You beat up this guy and even broke his girlfriend's teeth, right?"
He had defeated Qi Yunfei on the stage today and had been told that Qi Yunfei was quite influential in San Tai City.
Although he looked down on him, he had learned about Xu Zhengyang and his recent matters.
Qi Yunfei indeed had a significant background, but since he didn't pursue it, it made him even more arrogant.
People around him also praised him, saying that even Qi Yunfei didn't dare to provoke him.
Moreover, he himself didn't regard these ordinary powers highly. As long as his family had strong people in place, any force was insignificant.
"You are Young Master Sun?"
Xu Zhengyang didn't answer him and continued to ask.
The young man put down his legs, leaned forward, and sarcastically asked, resting his elbow on his knee:
"So, how did you feel when you stepped on that Lin family young master? Did you feel it was quite satisfying?
Being a second-generation heir who is more powerful than him, do you think you're very impressive now?"
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere became tense.
The air was thick with hostility.
Qi Yunfei's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't warn Young Master Sun because he never gives a warning before taking action.
If Young Master Sun dared to make a move, he would make him pay dearly.
At this moment, a somewhat impatient voice came from beside Young Master Sun.
"Sun Chengyi, what are you doing?"
It was the cold beauty. She kept a certain distance from Young Master Sun.
It was evident that she didn't like Young Master Sun but perhaps had no choice but to be here.
She looked at Xu Zhengyang with a hint of disgust, or perhaps she was just generally disdainful of all men.
Especially hearing that Xu Zhengyang was also a second-generation heir who liked to step on others, her disgust grew even more.
But she didn't want to see a bloody scene.
Young Master Sun immediately looked at the girl with a flattering smile and said helplessly:
"Yao Yao, can't you see? He didn't even look at you just now, isn't that obvious?
How is he any different from those previous idiotic second-generation heirs who came to hit on us?
First, he pretends to be interested in us and pretends not to be interested in you! Then?
He sits here chatting, showing off his wealth and power, and in the end, it's all just to get close to you?"
Young Master Sun sneered. He wasn't new to this kind of thing and had heard of some forum that specifically taught these tricks.
Some rich second-generation heirs liked this kind of routine the most.
The girl glared at him coldly.
"I've told you more than once that these matters have nothing to do with you!!"
