Chapter 683 - 682: Martial Arts Competition
Sure enough, just after Zhang Yufei arrested them and returned to the police station, a phone call came in within ten minutes. Zhao Bing frowned; it was a call from the police chief of South Sea City, with a clear intent to release those three foreigners.
Since the chief intervened, Zhao Bing had no choice but to agree.
He was very surprised. What was the background of these three people that even the chief listened to orders?
Over at the seafood restaurant, after Chen Tianlong tidied up the mess, he directly revived the three young men, then an ambulance took them to the hospital for treatment. In fact, they were just unconscious, with no serious injuries; one of them had a fractured arm, and the rest were only superficial wounds.
After taking care of everything, Chen Tianlong couldn’t go back with Shen Yan but had to take the young ladies back to the Lin Family mansion.
So, somewhat reluctantly, Chen Tianlong watched Shen Yan leave and then dialed Mr. Hu’s number.
About fifteen minutes later, a Bentley appeared at the seafood restaurant, and it was obvious that the person who got out of the car was Mr. Hu.
Chen Tianlong walked over, followed by Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu, and the three quickly got into the car. The Bentley drove steadily, and since there wasn’t much traffic at this time, they quickly arrived at the Lin Family mansion.
At this moment, Lin Batian was standing in the courtyard waiting.
"Haha, everyone has worked hard. Come on in and have a cup of hot tea to warm up," Lin Batian said with concern. Although winter had just passed, the weather was obviously early spring, and the southern nights were still a bit chilly.
"Dad, I’m back."
Lin Wushuang smiled and walked over.
After returning to the hall, Lin Batian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiaotian, I heard from Mr. Hu that you encountered three foreigners causing trouble today?"
"Yes, Sir Chen, do you know their background?" Chen Tianlong asked curiously after Lin Batian’s mention, as these three were incredibly strong, and Chen Tianlong wasn’t sure he could handle them.
If Zhang Yufei hadn’t arrived in time today, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t know how to end it. Fortunately, it was a close call, or it really would have been a narrow escape.
"Well, from what you’ve said, I have some inside information. These are a group of foreign high school students, primarily conducting a World High School Martial Arts Tournament. I heard they’ve already defeated several prestigious high schools in our country, and now they’re very arrogant."
Lin Batian was also worried about this, as it involved national dignity.
As one of the economic powerhouses of South Sea City, there would certainly be some pressure from the government for them to help select important martial arts talents from South Sea High to compete and ensure they win; otherwise, these foreigners would become insolent.
Initially, when Lin Batian received this task, he didn’t think much of it, but after hearing Mr. Hu, he immediately frowned, because these people were actually Ancient Martial Cultivators.
"World High School Martial Arts Tournament?"
Chen Tianlong was also taken aback upon hearing this, surprised there was such an event, but if it’s just a tournament, why does it feel like aggression, wanting to kill at sight?
"Yes, South Sea No.1 Middle School should have received the task in the past few days. If there’s no surprise, the school will start recruiting participants for the tournament by tomorrow," Lin Batian said, having called Principal Situ Feng not long ago to discuss this issue.
The school has many hidden talents, so Principal Situ Feng is confident about this since he knows a lot.
Not to mention others, the four major families of South Sea City’s children are also involved—Mo Family, Tang Family, Hao Family, and the Liu Family, which was kicked out of the four major families. These families have many hidden masters, and if they come forward, winning is likely.
Additionally, there are some hidden masters within the school—others may not know, but as the principal, he knows more or less. After all, he has all the records at his fingertips, such as Yang Fan from Capital City and the new generation’s fifth Crazy Young Master, Chen Tianlong.
There are many other such figures, but they have yet to emerge. Once provoked this time, many hidden masters will surely appear.
"Alright."
Chen Tianlong wasn’t sure if he should participate, but judging by today’s opponents, he had no confidence. Their lowest rank was Yellow Dao Five Star, and they seemed prepared.
Chen Tianlong believed they must have more than just those few moves; judging by that young woman’s strikes, she was likely an assassin-level figure.
The hidden assassins in the campus are something Chen Tianlong read about in novels as well, so these seemingly pretty girls could be the most dangerous. See, ready to slit throats at any moment—if you marry one, she’s a ticking time bomb.
After chatting for a while, since they had school the next day, everyone went to their rooms to wash up and sleep. However, while this was true for others, Chen Tianlong couldn’t sleep. To become extraordinary, one must put in twice as much effort and sweat as others.
Chen Tianlong knew this very well: Celestial Dao rewards diligence; effort begets reward. Though effort doesn’t guarantee good results, without effort, there are certainly none.
So, after bathing, Chen Tianlong started practicing.
Soon, life returned to normal, and a new semester had already begun for a week, entering a regular state...
Today is Monday. As usual, Chen Tianlong drove his Audi, taking Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu to South Sea No.1 Middle School for their classes.
They soon hit the highway, but since the distance to South Sea No.1 Middle School wasn’t far—around twenty kilometers—they arrived in twenty minutes.
If it weren’t for the short stretch of highway, this type of car could have made it in ten minutes.
After getting off the highway, the Audi car entered the main road of South Sea City, and suddenly a black Ferrari appeared on Chen Tianlong’s right side, giving him quite a scare.
"How are you driving? Don’t you know that my Ferrari is rather fragile? What if it gets damaged?" said a tall and strong young man, about the same age as Chen Tianlong, good-looking with decent features.
Chen Tianlong was stunned. Initially intending to curse back, now he was cursed first, and his anger rose. But Chen Tianlong knew not to get angry now; after the previous lesson, he understood that impulsiveness is the devil.
"Oh, I’m sorry, but it seems you rushed up, didn’t you?" Chen Tianlong replied calmly.
"Hell no, what do you mean I rushed up? It’s your slow driving blocking my way, isn’t it? If your car is so lousy, don’t take it on the road, it’s an eyesore."
Saying that, the person accelerated and sped ahead. After all, a Ferrari was surely faster than Chen Tianlong’s Audi.
