Gao Wuming: From Dockworker to Physical Achievement

Liu Hong's face immediately turned ugly.

He looked at Hong Zheng, whose expression was similar to his own.

Although Hong Zheng lost his sparring match with Chen Yi and called him "Master Fang," he was honoring his defeat and still valued Chen Yi's talent.

The people in charge of the three major martial arts schools all have a high sense of responsibility.

Even if it's a martial artist at the Gang Realm, they won't just obey.

The two exchanged a glance and made up their minds.

This matter requires all the master chefs to come out of seclusion and discuss it together.

Of course, I can't say too much right now, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the master chef, and the consequences would be dire.

"Master Yuan'an, Chen Yi did not do anything wrong. Even Buddha has a fierce wrath when faced with something that harms people. Killing is for the purpose of protecting life, and cutting off karma is not the same as killing people. Master, is it too arbitrary to make such a decision?"

Master Wuxin suddenly said.

Liu Hong and his companion planned to discuss this matter with other martial artists at the Gang Realm later.

Unexpectedly, Master Wuxin directly confronted him.

Master Yuan'an made a gesture from a distance.

Master Wuxin was struck as if by a heavy blow, and flew backward, crashing into the wall.

After landing, blood oozed from his mouth, indicating that he was seriously injured.

"That person is a follower of Mara, a demon who uses the Dharma to disrupt it. You speak up for him; could it be that you too have been bewitched by the demons? This humble monk is giving him a small punishment as a warning, hoping you can understand and not be misled."

"My mind is made up on this matter, there's no need to say anything more."

After saying this, Yuan'an turned and returned to his secluded retreat center.

Once Yuan An's figure disappeared from sight, Liu Hong and the other person hurriedly ran over and helped Wu Xin up.

"Are you alright, Master Wuxin?"

"How dare you contradict the master chef's decision? If he disagrees, we can find another master chef. How can you contradict him on the spot?"

Wu Xin shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Looking in the direction Yuan An left, he shook his head and said, "Grand Master Yuan Xin is probably deeply possessed by demons. We must inform the other masters about this matter."

"That's natural. Our three martial arts schools have a total of six master masters. Even if one of them disagrees, there are still five others. They all know how important Chen Yi is and agree to let him take the path of the extreme realm."

"Don't rush this matter, lest we anger Grand Master Yuan'an. He doesn't seem to be in good condition; perhaps he's had a mishap during his practice. It's not impossible that he might kill us. Let's wait until he goes into seclusion."

"Master will be out of seclusion for half a month. Let's wait until he's done. Anyway, Chen Yi is still far from reaching the level of a cultivator, so there's no rush."

The three finalized their plan.

We'll just have to wait for Yuan'an to go into seclusion, then we'll gather all the master chefs together to discuss this matter.

The disciples of the three martial arts schools hid in fear in the corners of the dojo, not daring to breathe loudly.

They saw it: the three leaders seemed to have had some kind of conflict with the head chef, and one of the leaders was even injured, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

If they were to cross the line, they would probably be instantly reduced to a bloody mist.

In situations like this, pretending you don't exist is the best option.

After the people in charge left the martial arts school, the disciples whispered about what had just happened.

What exactly happened that caused the person in charge and the head chef to fall out?

For a time, some people in the three martial arts schools were filled with unease.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Unlike the three major martial arts schools, where people were filled with anxiety.

On the docks, the dock workers thrived.

They replaced the Green Gang, eradicated opium dens, and defeated the police.

After several events, the dock gang had firmly established itself and confirmed its position at the dock.

Now, when the gang members are outside, they are all respectfully called "brother" by the people at the dock, who fawn over them in every way.

His status was so high that he no longer resembled a gang member.

They all looked like high-ranking officials from the imperial court.

With such a status, eating without paying and accepting bribes are things that can be done casually.

However, the members of the dock gang not only refused to pay for food or other benefits, but also refused to accept the protection fees set by the gang.

If any scoundrels cause trouble, they will teach them a lesson.

Those who saw it were amazed.

On a street near the pier, a dozen or so pier gang henchmen gathered.

This street is their assigned territory.

The leader of this group of a dozen or so men was a burly man with a fierce face.

His body hair was thick and black, like that of a wild boar, hence the nickname "Pig Brother".

He was speaking to his subordinates about this matter.

"Listen up, everyone. Master Yi said that the atmosphere of the dock gang is different from other gangs. We occupy territory not to make money, but to protect our own place."

To ensure that my relatives, friends, parents, and siblings can live well here.

All the bad habits of the gangs in the past, such as eating and drinking for free and extortion, are now forbidden. Anyone who dares to do so will be expelled from the gang.

Master Yi has raised the price of copper coins by five dollars, enough for you to have no worries about food and drink. After saving up for a few days, you can go to the inner street for some fun.

"These days, countless people are desperate to join our dock gang, but none can. You must cherish this opportunity."

The henchmen nodded in unison: "Brother Pig, we all know that."

The rules have been in place for a few days. We gave them two days to adjust, and on the third day, we started clearing people out.

The gang, which originally had more than 2,000 members, was wiped out by several hundred, leaving only Ai Yiqian, 1,500.

Those who were eliminated, no matter how much they cried, begged, or swore, it was all in vain.

They can only compete again for a position in the dock gang, just like everyone else.

Many people have the advantage of joining early, but after being eliminated, they can no longer compete with others and can't get in.

All I can do is go to people I used to know every day and beg them to say some nice things.

The henchmen witnessed all of this, fearing they might become one of them.

Although Chen Yi did not impose any punishment, after experiencing the comfort of being in the dock gang, they were extremely unwilling to return to their previous lives as laborers or other short-term or long-term workers.

Warehouse Street.

Chen Yi spoke with several of his trusted confidants.

"Master Yi, after the regulations were issued, we dismissed a total of seven hundred people. Now they are all begging for another chance and promising never to repeat the offense," Qin Tianqi said.

A few days ago, Chen Yi made many demands on the gang members.

After the rules were implemented, a large number of people were dismissed within just a few days.

The sheer number of them made Qin Tianqi wonder if it was happening too fast.

They should be given more time to adapt, or at least more opportunities.

"Master Yi, it's normal that they can't react quickly enough since the rules were implemented so soon. How about we give them another chance?" Qin Tianqi asked.

"Where did I not give them a chance? It's not like I prevented them from joining the gang," Chen Yi said.

"Moreover, when setting rules, you can't show any leniency from the beginning, otherwise it will only leave everyone with a sense of wishful thinking."

Have you ever thought that being given a chance to commit a crime once means that it's okay to get caught once, and that you can stop after being caught?

If the initial tone is wrong, everything will fall apart, so don't say things like "give me another chance" anymore.

Furthermore, there is only a chance to rejoin after the first month; members who are dismissed after that period are not allowed to return.
