The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 31 Become famous
In the black-tiled, white-walled house with two entrances and two exits, a group of strong men were carrying large boxes in and out.

Passing through the gate is the first courtyard.

The hall, guest rooms, kitchen, woodshed and warehouse are surrounded by a pond of moderate size.

Near the pond where the koi fish swim is a huge tree that is so thick that a person can hug it.

Under the shade of the tree, there is a round stone table and three or four stone benches.

Zhang Yuhuai sat on a stone bench and looked towards the pond.

Xu Huan supported an old woman and stood at the edge of the pond, constantly throwing fish food into the water.

Passing through the corridor where the strong man walked, we arrived at the second courtyard, which is the owner's living place.

The house has everything you need including a hall, study and bedroom.

In the central garden, a group of strong men are laying bluestone.

The original flowers, plants and trees were dug up and replaced with a small martial arts training ground.

There are all kinds of weapons including swords, spears, axes, bows, solid iron men wrapped in cowhide, and archery targets.

Bang bang bang!
Di Yanfeng raised the axe high and kept chopping at Qin Zhiming, who was shirtless.

Qin Zhiming did not move, allowing the whistling axe blade to hit the joints of his hands and feet.

Whoosh! A silver light like a silver snake moved all over his body.

Muffled sounds are heard from vital parts of the human body such as the throat, heart, and lower back.

"No, Brother Tiger, my hands are numb."

The moment the silver light disappeared, Chen Youhuang dropped the two spears in his hands and his numb hands trembled.

With a clang, Di Yanfeng, panting, threw the axe with a bent blade to the ground.

"Me too, my palms are about to split."

Seeing this, the strong men around cast envious and admiring glances at him.

Qin Zhiming nodded and drew the dagger from his waist.

“You can all see clearly, this is the Flesh Training Realm.

For a warrior who has reached the Leather Training Stage, it is difficult for the sharp weapons wielded by ordinary people to break his skin.

Only warriors of the same realm or powerful crossbows can harm them.

The Flesh Training Realm is even better in this regard."

As Qin Zhiming spoke, he grasped the dagger between his hands and suddenly closed them.

Then he rubbed his hands back and forth and opened them again.

The dagger had been pressed by him into a mixture of wood and iron.

"When you encounter the Flesh Training Realm, just think about running away, don't think about anything else."

"Brother Hu, what if we can't escape?" a sturdy man asked.

Qin Zhiming opened his mouth, pointed at his tongue, and then pointed at his eyes.

“Then use all your strength to attack these places.

Forget about poisoning, you poor people, if you have money to buy medicine that can poison the flesh realm, you might as well eat more."

"Then Brother Hu, when are you going to treat us to a good meal?" a sturdy man shouted.

"That's right!" "Brother Hu, you can't be stingy now that you're the leader of a branch!"

Listening to the cheers of the strong men around him, Qin Zhiming grinned.

"Look, I asked you to do some work, and you still want to blackmail me for a meal?

Ah Feng, you lead these hungry ghosts over first."

Di Yanfeng patted the back of the head of the sturdy man who started the commotion first.

"Brother Hu, when have I ever treated you unfairly? Come on, I'll take you to the Fresh Food House."

After Di Yanfeng led the working brothers away, Qin Zhiming asked Chen Youhuang next to him.

"Is there nothing going on in the past two days?"

On the day Qin Zhiming killed Shen Yi, he was assisted by everyone and became the branch leader.

Yulong Shen Qian publicly rewarded him with the house and fertile land that he had promised him on the grounds that he had brought fame to the gang.

This action made everyone in the Fanhai Gang excited.

Especially after learning that Qin Zhiming had worked his way up from a laborer to his current position, the gang members worked even harder.

This also caused them to run into trouble, and they no longer handled the situation in a cautious manner as before, but instead took direct action in an attempt to gain fame.

After all, everyone wants to be the next fierce tiger.

It is precisely because of this that sudden situations have occurred in various branches in the past few days, resulting in many unnecessary casualties.

Chen Youhuang understood what Qin Zhiming wanted to ask, and he shook his head.

"Brother Hu, don't worry, the people who are in charge of the streets in the branch are all the brothers who fought with us in the beginning.

They all know their limits and won't act rashly when faced with problems.

There is nothing wrong with the old gang members' accounts, and they have paid out what they should. I followed your instructions and asked them to keep some.

At present, although they have complaints, they are just lip service.”

"Most of the brothers are illiterate. Have you found the lecturer you were looking for?"

The lower class people can’t even fill their stomachs, so who would learn to read?

As a result, except for Qin Zhiming, Zhang Yuhuai and Chen Youhuang, the other brothers were illiterate, let alone managing accounts.

That's why Qin Zhiming tolerated the old gang members to continue to manage the branch's accounts and make money privately.

“It’s hard to find one. Any famous lecturer is hired to teach the children of the rich and powerful in the academy.

At worst, he would work as a cashier in a restaurant or a shop. Even if he became a storyteller, he would not come to give lectures to us.

I asked people to ask several times, and most of the answers I got were insulting.”

Qin Zhiming put on his shirt. "Did you ask the gang?"

"I asked, and the local lecturer will not come to the branch to give lectures.

Each branch can recommend three people every year to learn to read and write in the gang.

This year, the old immortals, like before, recommended people who were related to them.”

"Let's put this matter aside for now. You and Ah Huai can check the accounting office later.

Don't check too harshly. As long as they don't make too much money, just turn a blind eye.

How is the matter I asked you to check going?"

Chen Youhuang smiled.

“We found opportunities to sink those people who had ruined their reputations into the river.

The brothers can’t do anything to the remaining two flesh-training realm masters.”

“I know, my senior brother Cheng Zhengliang and my second senior brother Xue Hu.

Leave these two to me. How is the investigation of opening a martial arts school going?"

Qin Zhiming motioned to Chen Youhuang to sit on the stone bench next to him and chat while drinking tea.

Chen Youhuang was not polite either. After saying so much, he was indeed a little dry-mouthed.

He took a sip of tea.

“Every few years, foreign warriors come to Chaolan County to open a school.

This year there are three: Mad Dog Chen Hao, Yin Yang Hand Ma Bao and Golden Statue Guan Yangran. "

Qin Zhiming was slightly stunned.

"Golden statue? Is it related to the bronze statue skill of Qianjun Martial Arts School?"

Chen Youhuang chuckled.

"It's a big deal. I heard that on the day Guan Yangran arrived, Wu Jie, the head of Qianjun Martial Arts School, led many disciples out to greet him, and even called him "senior brother."

Qin Zhiming tapped the stone table with his right index finger, as if thinking about something.

"What is the status of Cheng Zhengliang and Xue Hu in Qianjun Martial Arts School?"

"The relationship between the brothers is very harmonious. Cheng Zhengliang is already the second senior brother of Qianjun Martial Arts School."

These two people were the first to join the Menghu Martial Arts School, and the master took great pains to teach them.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the master was injured, the two of them left the martial arts school and turned around to join Qianjun Martial Arts School.

In order to avoid being accused of being ungrateful, they also spread the word that it was Li Hu who was incompetent and that it was not their fault.

Seeing this, other people from the Tiger Martial Arts School who wanted to leave followed suit. He would not let these people go.

Previous memories flashed through his mind, and Qin Zhiming looked at Chen Youhuang.

“Thank you for your hard work. You don’t need to check my affairs anymore. Just focus on keeping an eye on the branch.

It’s getting late, you should go eat, I’ll be there soon.”

Chen Youhuang did not stand up, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Qin Zhiming smiled. "Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you being so shy in front of me?"

When Chen Youhuang heard this, he no longer hesitated and spoke with a smile.

“It’s nothing, my brothers asked me to ask Brother Hu.

Is your master still willing to accept disciples? Not only you brothers, but also the brothers in other branches have this intention. "

"I understand. The martial arts school can still survive. There's no need to do this."

Seeing that Qin Zhiming had misunderstood, Chen Youhuang explained.

"I didn't tell you about the Tiger Martial Arts School. You just wanted to go there to practice martial arts."

"Then why do you have to join the Tiger Martial Arts School?"

"Because of you, Tiger Brother."
