Cosmic Demon

Chapter 112 Our new martial arts school is in need of talents (two in one)

"A lot of people."

Lin Yunqing hung up the phone and looked around. The spacious lobby with a ceiling height of seven or eight meters was crowded with people, all of whom were dressed like celebrities.

Everyone seemed to be in the same circle and knew each other. They soon formed groups of three or five and started chatting with each other.

The most eye-catching thing is an adult man who is surrounded by stars.

The man was about 27 or 28 years old, with a square face, and his every move was very steady, as if he had been in a high position for a long time, with an aura of authority that kept strangers away.

Qin Shi glanced at it and asked curiously:
"He looks a lot like Old Chen, are they related?"

Lin Yunqing nodded and leaned closer to tell him:
"Uncle Chen's eldest son, Xiaoyun's brother, Chen Zhou.

I used to run a company and do business in the central city and just came back recently.

I heard from Xiaoyun that the relationship between him and Uncle Chen is rather cold.”

The father is an official and the son is a businessman, what a classic combination.

Qin Shi secretly complained in his heart.

The administrative planet of the Dongxia Republic is relatively independent and autonomous, like an alternative vassal state.

The administrative governor is basically equivalent to a provincial governor, and prominent officials in various positions hold great power.

Although the three departments check and balance each other, most of them follow the rules and rarely fall out with each other.

Someone of Lao Chen's level would be considered a local emperor in Tai'an.

It might be an exaggeration to say that he can cover the sky with one hand, but calling the wind and rain is definitely a problem for him.

"Uncle Chen originally wanted to arrange for Brother Zhou to join the battle group for training, but Brother Zhou was not happy about it. He preferred to stay in the central city and started a company with a few friends. Two years ago, he also joined the Donglin Chamber of Commerce. Because of this matter, he had a big fight with Uncle Chen and they didn't have much contact with each other."

As Chen Yun's best friend, Lin Yunqing knew a lot about the Chen family. She sighed and said:
"Xiao Yun is caught between her brother and her father and it's hard for her to be the peacemaker. She often complains to me."

Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders. Everyone has their own problems.

"This birthday party is so grand, could it be organized by Old Chen's son? Old Chen's personality is not that flamboyant."

Lin Yunqing and Qin Shi sat in a corner, chirping quietly:

"Brother Zhou's company took on two big projects, but they didn't go very well, and he also fell out with his partners. This time he returned to Tai'an, I guess he wanted to make a comeback."

It sounds like he came back to cheat his father.

The corner of Qin Shi's mouth twitched.

No wonder people say that fake dependents do not go to work and stay at home, lying down and playing games;
The real life of living off parents, taking postgraduate entrance exams to start a business, and then going bankrupt and being liquidated.

Judging from Lin Yunqing's description, Old Chen's son is obviously the type who is unwilling to be a second-generation and must make a name for himself.

"There are so many rich men and women in the urban area."

Qin Shi looked at the people coming and going in the lobby. There were many young faces, and he guessed that they all came here with their parents to broaden their horizons and see the world.

"You will be a multi-millionaire in the future, Assistant Coach Xiao Qin.

If it is recognized by the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association and the education fund quota is approved, it can attract 80 million in sponsorship!
Add to that the Martial Arts Rising Star Project, whose investment is currently unclear... humph, hundreds of millions of new talents!"

Lin Yunqing smiled proudly:

"Have you ever seen a student like you who became a billionaire without any help from your family? You are the only one!"

She wanted to put her hands on her hips, hold up a loud speaker and announce to the world that the financial project she liked was super awesome!

"I haven't even started yet. The seniors from the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association have met countless geniuses, so they may not think highly of me."

Qin Shi said this, but in his heart he was thinking about how to behave so that he could shock the people from the Wushu Association and win 80 million in sponsorship.

As long as the salary is in place, he can let Super Xiao He go online for training.

He Lanchan, a recognized genius, had no problem ranking among the top ten in the nine thousand years of the Dongxia Republic in terms of talent.

There is no reason why we can’t convince the old martial artist Lao Deng from the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association!

"Hey, big brother is coming down."

Lin Yunqing suddenly stood up and waved to Lin Xiaohan who was walking out of the elevator.

Lin Xiaohan strode over and said with a smile.

"Uncle Chen had the Jinhui elevator sealed off, so it can only go up to the banquet hall on the 60th floor. It seems he doesn't like crowds."

He turned his head to look at Qin Shi. It was indeed true that clothes make the man.

At first glance, the refreshed Xiao Qin looks like a young master of a wealthy family.

"Xiao Qin, long time no see. I heard from Yun Qing that you were very popular in the virtual battle room of Qiguang Hengda University, defeating many martial arts students."

As the director of the General Affairs Office, Lin Xiaohan is not directly responsible for teaching and has an average relationship with the teachers and students in the department.

Therefore, the news that the junior students of the Martial Arts Department of Qi Guangheng University were defeated by Qin Shi has not yet been received.

Qin Shi smiled shyly:

"It was just a give and take, it can't be called a setback. Teacher Lin's words are exaggerated."

Lin Xiaohan felt it carefully and found that Qin Shi’s life breath was stronger than the last time they met, and there was a kind of heroic demeanor like a standing pine tree.

"It is said that you calmed down the disturbance in Jiuchang Street a while ago, and you have done a great service to Uncle Chen's daughter. You are young and promising, Xiao Qin!
Your Xinyi Middle School will start school soon, and we are planning to arrange for students from the elite class to come to Hengda for exchange. Otherwise, I will talk to the teacher leading the team and ask you to join as well. "

Qin Shi glanced at Lin Yunqing, who looked pitiful, and immediately realized that the bitch had not told Lin Xiaohan the truth.

Based on his understanding of Lin Yunqing, he was definitely concealing the truth on purpose.

I plan to take over the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association and then make a big move.

"Thank you Director Lin for your kindness. This kind of activity is usually only for elite classes. It would be inappropriate for me, a student from the Hongzhi class, to go there. Besides, I plan to take a break and focus on the final exam."

Considering that she often used the free internet and food, Qin Shi covered it up for the bitch.

"It's rare to find a young man as calm as you."

When Lin Xiaohan heard this, a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"I wish you good luck in your exam. If you have any questions about the application, you can come to me."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yunqing:

"It's rare that you haven't been making a fuss lately. Come up with me and say hello to Uncle Chen."

Lin Yunqing pretended to be well-behaved, took out the terminal and typed quietly.

[Soft Rabbit: Assistant Teacher Xiao Qin, please go to the banquet hall on the 60th floor and wait for me.]

Qin Shi nodded and stepped into another elevator. Secretary Huo should have arranged for someone to receive him.

Sure enough, he received a message not long after.

【Xia Tian requests to add you as a friend】

[Passed]

Qin Shi tapped the terminal.

The communication tools provided by the Chengcai project are better than his previous flip phone.

Mainly browsing information, the depth of the network seems to be higher.

[Xia Tian: Hello, Qin. I am Xiao Xia from the General Affairs Office.]

[Xia Tian: Secretary Huo asked me to be in charge of your reception.]

[Xia Tian: Excuse me, have you arrived at Jinhui Building? ]

【Qin Shi: I’m in the banquet hall on the 60th floor.】

Xia Ke'er, who had her hair tied up and was dressed formally, was stunned.

"Hey, you came early!"

She was in a hurry to press the elevator to go downstairs, but was stopped by an old man in a tuxedo.

"Excuse me, are you the receptionist at the General Affairs Office?"

……

……

Qin Shi walked into the banquet hall. It was relatively quiet here, not as noisy as the lobby below.

Soothing music flows gently, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

He glanced at the rich and varied buffet and shook his head:
"It's low in calories, low in nutrients, and a whole table of clean food can't match a can of high-energy food."

Since embarking on the old martial arts path, Qin Shi's thinking has changed.

The quality of food depends on its calories, nutrition and satiety.

As for the taste?

that's not important.

After all, he can even devour boiled chicken breast.

"Lobsters, sea cucumbers... these wealthy people are really rich."

Based on the principle of "since you're already here", Qin Shi picked up the plate, knife and fork and walked towards the battlefield.

As a result, he was stopped halfway.

"Excuse me, is this Qin Shiqin?"

An old man in a tuxedo appeared in front of him and asked politely.

"Yes, it's me."

Qin Shi was silently alert.

Strange faces appeared in this kind of occasion.

Could it be someone from the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association?
"Student Qin, I will be responsible for your reception."

The old man in the tuxedo had a kind smile, like the uncle next door in the old factory street.

"Uh……"

Qin Shi opened the terminal and glanced at the cute cat's avatar:

"You are, Xiao Xia?"

The old man in the tuxedo remained calm:
"You can call me that."

Sir, you are quite trendy.

Qin Shi activated his [Extrasensory Perception] and did not discover any malicious intent from the other party:

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

He was also very curious about how the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association planned to evaluate his talents?
Go up and touch the stone to see how bright it glows?
"Let's just have a brief chat first."

The old man in the tuxedo smiled and said:
"Student Qin is in his third year of high school, so he is not yet eighteen years old."

Qin Shi nodded:

"I'm sixteen this year. I'll be seventeen after my birthday."

The old man in the tuxedo praised:

"This is the golden age for developing vitality. Excuse me, have you taken a vitality test recently? How was the result?"

Qin Shi said frankly:

"About thirty."

The old man in the tuxedo praised again:
"Very impressive. You already have the potential to be admitted to a top university. You are a top student picked from thousands of people. Mr. Qin, which university do you want to attend?"

"At present, it should be Qiguang Hengda."

Qin Shi replied.

The signature feature of Jiakai University of Science and Technology is its Department of Mechanical Engineering, and its Martial Arts Department is far inferior to that of Qiguang Hengda University.

"very good."

The old man in the tuxedo became more and more satisfied.

He finally asked:
"I heard that you followed the old martial arts path, or the now gradually lost physical body limit breaking method. If you can answer, can you tell me roughly how many limits you have broken?"

Qin Shi thought that there was nothing to hide. He didn't need to wait until the grade-setting exam on the first day of school. Later, when he applied for the education fund, all of this had to be written into his personal information and reported truthfully.

"It has reached the second limit. The one is the tendon barrier and the mind barrier."

The old man in the tuxedo paused his lovely smile for a moment, and looked slightly moved.

"Junjie, he is truly a Junjie. It is rare for him to be able to break through the divine barrier at such a young age. He is also unique in Hengzhou! Just based on this one fact, he can meet the admission standards of the four national universities."

He looked carefully at the young man in front of him. He had an upright posture, clear eyes and bright features. His high level of vitality made him look even more majestic. Even if he was in a banquet hall attended by dignitaries, he would stand out like a crane among chickens.

"The Dongxia Education Department attaches great importance to talent. Qin, a newcomer like you is exactly what a first-class school needs."

The old man is quite good at giving emotional value, and he kept praising me from beginning to end.

Qin Shi held the plate, looked eagerly at the lobster that was forked away, and asked shyly:

"Xia... Teacher, do you have anything else to ask?"

The old man in tuxedo shook his head:

"Sorry to bother you, Qin. I hope to see you in Central City someday."

He took off his hat, bowed, and then turned and left.

Is this over?

Qin Shi couldn't help but feel confused, as he thought there would be some classic challenge segment.

For example, find a talented young man from Qiguang Hengda or the central city.

And then compete with yourself and so on...

"What a pity! I even had Super Xiao He log in and amazed everyone. I had already thought of the lines he would say."

Qin Shi sighed and continued walking towards the dining table. Although the lobster was gone, the sea cucumber would do.

"Hoo...Hoo...Excuse me, is this Qin Shiqin?"

Before Qin Shi could stretch out his knife and fork, he was interrupted by an oval-faced girl with her hair in a bun.

"Yes, it's me."

Qin Shi put down the plate helplessly.

"I'm Xiao Xia, who is in charge of receiving you. I just had a small problem. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

The oval-faced girl was panting, as if she had climbed a dozen floors in one breath, her hair sticking to her cheeks.

"Are you Xiao Xia?"

Qin Shi was full of questions.

Where did the man in the tuxedo come from?
……

……

"Inspector Xu, please help me find it."

The old man in the tuxedo returned to the 70th floor and bumped into Chen Zhou, the organizer of the banquet. The latter was eager:

"My father is ill and cannot come out, but knowing that you have come from afar, Inspector Xu, he specifically asked me to entertain you well."

The old man in the tuxedo looked calm and nodded slightly:

"I came to Tai'an on business, so there's no need for any hospitality. Mr. Chen, you don't have to accompany me. I have been to many places with Director Lin of Qiguang Hengda today. I am a little tired and am preparing to say goodbye."

Chen Zhou was stunned. He heard from Lin Xiaohan that Inspector Xu had come here specially to preside over an important task and would probably stay in the Tai'an metropolitan area for a while.

"Inspector Xu, is there anything I have neglected..."

"Mr. Chen, you're overthinking it. I'm really old and my body isn't strong. I get sleepy at certain times."

The old man in the tuxedo smiled and waved his hand:
"Next time I have time, I will visit Minister Chen again."

After saying that, he walked away.

……

……

"Inspector, have you seen the young man who inherited He Lanchan's legacy?"

In the corridor on the 70th floor, the secretary who was accompanying him rushed over after receiving a call.

The old man in the tuxedo had a calm expression, and even a bit chilly when he wasn't smiling.

He spoke slowly:
"We just talked about it. It's rare to find such a good seedling in the old martial arts school. He is calm and deep, neither arrogant nor impatient. He is neither too sharp nor too domineering.

It is rare to see young people like this nowadays. Chen Ruofu's recommendation letter is true, he is indeed a hero!"

The secretary lowered his head and asked:

"Inspector, should we suppress him? Otherwise, he will be trained by the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association with all his strength..."

The old man in tuxedo looked at the secretary with sharp eyes.

Until the latter realized that he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head.

"You've been with me for so long, but you haven't improved! Do you think the battle between the new martial arts and the old martial arts can be decided by one or two geniuses? When has Dongxia ever lacked talented people? Let's not talk about other things, just the Star Cup, how many outstanding people are there?"

The old man in the tuxedo showed disappointment and said with his hands behind his back:
"In the battle between the old and the new, what we are fighting for is the future. What we want is to swallow up hundreds of meridians, erode thousands of doors, and forge a new generation of martial god road!

This is the general trend. Let alone one or two Jiaoyang-level geniuses, even if the first generation of top ten came, they would not be able to resist the tide of the times!
I came to see the young man in person because I learned that Old Man Zhang was so quiet that he wanted to move, and was attracted by the "Void Meditation Method" and went to Tai'an to trip him up;

Second, I am curious and want to see what the "disciple from the next generation" who will inherit He Lanchan's legacy looks like. "

The powerful aura inadvertently released by the old man in the tuxedo just now made the secretary tremble physically and mentally, and almost fell to his knees.

This Inspector Xu is a top-notch professional in the central city.

"That young man does have some of the qualities of a stone Buddha, he is very calm, and he has broken through the spiritual barrier.

At this age, you are able to stay in your mind and accept everything in the outside world. It shows that you have a great character. It is worth my life."

The old man in the tuxedo looked approving and recognized.

"But considering Old Man Zhang's temper, I guess he still looks down on us. He was eliminated in the top 16 every time because he met He Lanchan every time and was beaten to death.

So he announced that he had decided to recruit many disciples so that his disciples could defeat He Lanchan's successor in the Star Cup.

But it was too early to say that. He probably didn't expect that He Lanchan would never pass on his legacy until his death."

The secretary suddenly realized that there was such a story behind this.

"It's funny to talk about it. Old man Zhang has accepted nine disciples in his life. But they are either spiritual masters or mechanical experts. All of them have gone astray. There are only a few who are serious martial artists."

The old man in the tuxedo couldn't help laughing.

The secretary was extremely confused and asked:
"Old Zhang... Senior, since you want to surpass He Lanchan in terms of your disciple, why do you let your disciple take other paths?"

The old man in the tuxedo laughed and said:
"This is what Old Man Zhang is worried about. He boasted that he was extremely talented and unparalleled in the world, and that he was born to be a martial god. However, he did not expect that when he was seventeen years old and was about to show his talent, he met He Lanchan and suffered a great loss.

After five years of hard training, he ran into Lian Yixing, who was on the rise, and became a background figure again.

After concentrating on studying and consolidating his strength, Qi Wuxiang, who had won three crowns, stepped on one of them... He alone tried out the strongest of the first generation of ten heroes. "

What a legendary whetstone, the ultimate king of beatings.

The secretary's eye twitched when he heard this.

"So Old Man Zhang made a solemn vow that the disciple he was looking for must be a martial god seed who could dominate an era, eclipse all the suns, and be admired by many of his peers. If he could not meet this standard, he would let the disciple take other paths.

I hurried here because I was worried that the young man was really the reincarnation of He Lanchan as Chen Ruofu wrote in the letter, and that old man Zhang was delighted to see him as a prey and took him in as his disciple.

If he does, he will be like him, with a bad temper, stirring up trouble everywhere and making Hengzhou a mess."

The old man in the tuxedo spoke in a bland tone. Ever since Old Man Zhang gave up the idea of ​​competing in the Star Cup again, he became a great scourge to the Martial Arts Association, a terrifying existence who would overturn the table while others were eating.

He never follows the rules when doing things. What's hateful is that no one can surpass him in terms of seniority, ability, or connections.

You can only let him take advantage of your age and seniority!
"Unfortunately, that young man only resembles He Lanchan a little bit, and is still far from the standard set by old man Zhang."

The old man in the tuxedo was very confident.

He has a deep grudge against Old Man Zhang.

It is very clear what level of genius the enemy wants.

The secretary asked:
"Inspector, 'Void Meditation Method' is an SSS-level textbook. According to the regulations of the Education Department, it should be recycled..."

The old man in the tuxedo said in a deep voice:

"The boy has already entered the school, is a local student of Hengzhou, and graduated from the former Dangyang East Suburb Children's School. He fully meets the standards for studying the textbooks, so why should we interfere?

The dispute between the new and the old is a competition between the older and younger generations to determine who is superior or inferior. It has caused an innocent student to suffer and is putting personal interests above public ones.

Only conservatives who cling to power would do that. I don’t do that.”

He volunteered to come to Tai'an because he didn't want to suppress and exacerbate the conflict between the few conservative elements in the Education Department who deliberately oppressed and bullied the students who inherited He Lanchan's legacy and came from the old martial arts school.

"The inspector has a broad mind and an upright character."

The secretary praised sincerely.

"You should pay more attention. If Old Man Zhang doesn't like the young man, you can make the decision for me and give him a chance to go to the central city.

The old martial arts style is too formal and clings to old conventions and bad habits, which is not as tolerant as the new martial arts. I like the talent and temperament of that young man, and the new martial arts school needs such talents!

Their old martial arts school can recruit a hundred people, but only raise two or three seedlings, but in our new martial arts, tens of millions of people learn, millions of people become successful, and everyone can reach the sky. There will always be a few who can embark on the path to becoming a martial god.

Perhaps, that young man is one of the millions of firewood that will build the foundation of a martial god."

The old man in a tuxedo looked through the large floor-to-ceiling windows at the Tai'an urban area.

"A new generation of martial gods will surely be born. The decline of the old martial arts is an indisputable fact.

I am very much looking forward to the upcoming Martial Arts Rising Star Program, where the Education Department will specially select those outstanding talents to completely shatter the fantasies of the old martial arts schools!"

……

……

"Are you Qin Shiqin?"

Qin Shi, who was taken to the 68th floor, heard this question for the third time tonight.

He sighed, feeling like a giant panda on display.

"Yes, it's me."

Qin Shi was taken by Xiao Xia to a business suite, where he met an unprepossessing middle-aged man.

The other person's eyes were burning, as if he was examining some dusty treasure, and he was eager to wipe it clean to make it shine.

"Hello, Qin. I am Ren You from the Nanhuang Dojo. I am here on behalf of the Hengzhou Martial Arts Association to verify whether you have mastered the Void Meditation Method and whether you have met the sponsorship criteria for the Education Fund."

The middle-aged man introduced himself and stated his purpose.

Finally getting to the point!

Qin Shi cheered up. He cooperated so well just for the 80 million sponsorship money!
"I'm ready for this."

His eyes flickered as he looked around, waiting for some young genius of extraordinary birth to appear and challenge him.

"Please take this clay tablet."

Ren You carefully took out the item given to him by his master from his arms.

"……This is?"

Qin Shi took it and asked by the way.

Will I hear the other party say “Life force, third stage” later?

"Number YC-522, also known as the 'Jade Book', it has thirteen pieces, each of which records an extremely ancient mantra.

The words written on this piece are "This is the power of eternity, it breaks through the hard and strong and breaks through the tough."

This object has two regular characteristics. One is that it cannot be destroyed by simple physical attacks. The other is that it can absorb mental fluctuations and condense the light of the mind.

Qin, you just need to aim at this object, punch with all your strength, and concentrate your mind and recite the words. "

Ren You explained patiently.

This special item is called a "relic", also known as a "relic".

They are specialized in the psychic field, and are "tools" formed by capturing anomalies in the netherworld and then arresting them.

They often have various rules that distinguish the strong from the weak based on their levels.

It was later adopted by the Dongxia authorities, and the most widely used method was polygraph testing, torture, and suppression of professional experts in different ways.

"Is this all right?"

Qin Shi held the fragile clay tablet in his hand, feeling that it would break into pieces if it fell to the ground.

After getting Ren You's affirmation, he took a deep breath and adjusted his physical state to the most perfect state.

"Then I won't be polite!"
