Along the way, the few of them were chatting enthusiastically.
Zhang Ye had already brought Chenchen to a seat behind them and was chatting nonstop. At the same time, he tried to fish out some information about the Chinese martial arts world, which he knew nothing about.
"Bro Chen Zhen, where are you from?"
"Beijing."
"Aiyo, that's a good place."
"Haha, it's not too bad."
"Looks like you're quite skilled."
"I guess so."
"What martial arts do you learn from?"
"My master, Huang Feihong, practices …"
"Eh, isn't your master Huo Yuanjia?"
"Ah? Is that so? "
"You said it yourself just now."
"Oh right, Huang Feihong is my other master."
"Aiya, Bro Chen knows two martial arts too?"
"Just blindly practicing, blindly practicing."
Chenchen listened to Zhang Ye brag nonstop. She rolled her eyes and did not say a word.
These people were very talkative and very enthusiastic.
They were "non-affiliates," which was a nicer way to put it. In fact, it meant that they did not belong to any school or sect and did not follow the orthodox path of Chinese martial arts.
Two of them were biological brothers. They were both bald and had burly figures. They looked like they practiced external martial arts and probably had some solid kung fu. One of them was called Liu Yiquan and the other was Liu Yizhang. As their names suggested, the elder brother practiced boxing while the younger brother practiced palm techniques. Zhang Ye did not ask for the details, but he guessed that it was definitely not their real names given by their parents. It was probably some sort of flower name.
There was another person called Li Quanneng. His kung fu level could not be seen, so he did not know if he was as versatile as his name suggested.
The last person was called He Badao. His name was also very intimidating.
They were all young people. Although some of them looked very old and old, Zhang Ye found out after asking that the oldest one was only 31 years old, while the rest were in their twenties. This was not strange. There was a saying that the strong and the young were the weakest. Those who could really fight were at this stage. When they got older, all aspects of their body would deteriorate, unless they practiced internal martial arts. Like the two grandmasters, Zhou Tianpeng and Chen Xi, they were still as good as ever. Some masters could still fight when they were in their 90s. But for those who practiced external martial arts, how many of them could still hold their own when they were over 60?
Liu Yiquan asked, "Bro Chen Zhen, is this your first time participating in the National Martial Arts Conference?"
Zhang Ye nodded. "That's right, it's my first time here. Senior bros, you must be regular customers? If there's anything I don't understand after entering, I'll have to consult you. Don't think I'm bothersome. "
Liu Yizhang laughed, "Of course not. Brother Chen, you don't have to be so polite."
He Badao smiled and said, "The few of us are actually just here to join in the fun. We were invited because of our connections. Even if we go, we will just be spectators. It's like this every year."
Zhang Ye gave a fist and palm salute. "Then the few of you are my seniors!"
He Badao hurriedly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Li Quanneng said, "Bro Chen Zhen, you're already so strong at such a young age. In the future, you'll definitely achieve greatness!"
Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "I can't compare to Senior Brothers!"
Everyone was holding up the sedan chair, so they could flatter each other!
…
Not long after, they started exchanging martial arts.
Zhang Ye could not get a word in edgewise, so he took some time to whisper to Chenchen, "When we get there, don't talk nonsense. Listen to my instructions, understand?"
Chenchen said, "Zhang Ye, will my aunt be alright?"
Zhang Ye comforted her, "Don't you know what kind of person your aunt is? She won't be alright even if someone is in trouble. Let's sneak in first and see how things go from there."
Thinking of this, Zhang Ye couldn't help but bring up the game ring on his left pinky finger.
The game interface appeared.
Total Reputation Points: 2.1 billion +!
This was all of Zhang Ye's current Reputation Points. It could already be described as an astronomical figure. Back when he was in the middle of the B-list rankings, the largest amount of Reputation Points that Zhang Ye received was only a few hundred million. But after this period of explosion in popularity, more and more people recognized him, and the influence of his works also grew. With A Bite of China, the Spring Festival Gala, the crosstalk, skit, and the large-scale scolding war, his Celebrity Rankings had already reached the A-list. The total Reputation Points that the game ring had collected had also broken past the astonishing 2 billion mark. This was even after spending a lot of the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) on the way here!
Then he checked the remaining items.
As he had not played the lottery draw many times, it was still the same old items.
Difficulty Adjustment Die: 1
X-ray Vision Eye Drop: 1
Time Out: 1
Stamina Medicine: A certain amount
Rewards: 1
That was about it.
Zhang Ye knew that Rao Aimin would definitely stir up trouble at the Martial Arts Conference this time, but he did not know if he could be of any help. Hai.
...
After driving for less than two hours, the few of them also chatted for less than two hours. They felt that they hit it off very well and immediately started calling each other brothers. They were martial artists after all, so it was easier for them to make friends. Just like He Badao, who nearly slammed the table and took Chenchen as his goddaughter! Zhang Ye also spoke up and told them that if they came to Beijing in the future, they could just give him a call and he would take care of everything!
The car stopped.
They had arrived at the destination.
After getting out of the car, Zhang Ye was led by a few people to walk another two kilometers before they arrived at their destination — the venue of the Tianshan Martial Arts Conference!
Only then did Zhang Ye realize that although it was called the Tianshan Martial Arts Conference, it was not really about going to the Heavenly Lake or the peak of Tianshan. That was a national tourist attraction, and with a large group of people like them, the tourist attraction would probably not let them in. The Tianshan Martial Arts Conference was actually just a large area nearby. The venue was located at the foot of Tianshan and the scenery was beautiful. From afar, they could even see the snow-covered Tianshan Martial Arts Conference.
The closer they got, the more people there were.
With a quick glance, there were at least a hundred people. They had all arrived around the same time and were queuing up to enter the venue. The venue was a large resort and was probably booked by the National Martial Arts Association. Inside, there were many buildings that looked like inns. It was a stark contrast to the secluded area that they had come from.
At this moment, Liu Yizhang, Liu Yiquan, and the others also met some familiar faces.
"Hey, Bro Pang!"
"Aiya, Bro Liu!"
"You're here too?"
"Yeah, I just arrived too!"
"Come on, let's go in together."
"We're in the same trade, hahahaha!"
During this time, they also introduced some people to Zhang Ye.
While they were queuing up, Zhang Ye was speechless when he heard some interesting news.
He heard a young man in a training uniform who had just joined their group sigh and say, "I heard that a few of the masters won't be able to participate in tomorrow's conference."
He Badao was shocked. "What happened?"
Liu Yizhang stared and said, "Could it be that they've met their enemies?"
"That's impossible," Liu Yiquan said.
Zhang Ye and Chenchen also pricked up their ears.
That young man let out a long sigh and said regretfully, "Master Zhang of the Hidden Weapons Sect was carrying a controlled knife and was arrested by the railway police when he was going through the security check! Master Sun of the Iron Palm Sect was extorted on the way here. He lost his way and is now wandering around the Shaanxi region on foot! The Kongtong Sect's second senior bro of this generation was delayed on his flight and had his flight cancelled. He's still stuck at the airport and is currently leading the passengers to cause trouble! "
Zhang Ye: "..."
Chenchen: "..."
Liu Yiquan sighed. "What kind of world is this!"
"The hearts of the people are not what they used to be!" He Badao said angrily.
On the way here, Zhang Ye had listened to the extravagant descriptions of the martial arts masters and experts from the Chinese martial arts world. But with just a few words from this young man, the image of the martial arts masters in Zhang Ye's heart was completely destroyed!
