"Nothing to say?"
Chang Hongkuo unscrupulously looked at Shang Yulin's pretty face and sneered, "Director Shang Yulin, does that mean that you refuse to exchange pointers with our Mountain Sea Academy?"
Shang Yulin coldly said, "Are you going to force a challenge?"
Currently, Tenhiro Budokan only had three instructors, including her. Zhang Dahai was a fourth stage gladiator, Zuo Yi was a third stage swordsman, and she was a fifth stage swordsman.
There were nine stages of a professional, and they were divided into upper, middle, and lower stages. Tenhiro Budokan didn't have a single upper stage martial artist.
And Chang Hongkuo was a seventh stage gladiator!
To put it bluntly, he alone was enough to crush the entire Tenhiro Budokan!
Shang Yulin stopped Zhang Dahai just now because she knew that if Zhang Dahai attacked Chang Hongkuo first, he would undoubtedly fall into Chang Hongkuo's trap and force Tenhiro to fight.
She had no confidence in defeating Chang Hongkuo, so refusing the challenge was her only choice.
"I don't dare to violate Wu Meng's rules."
Chang Hongkuo laughed and said, "But our Yamakai Budokan is very sincere in exchanging pointers with Tenhiro Budokan, so it doesn't matter if you refuse today. We'll come again tomorrow, every day!"
His companions roared with laughter again.
Shang Yulin was so angry that her delicate body trembled slightly. She couldn't help but ask, "Chang Hongkuo, what do you want?"
If people from Mountain Sea Academy really blocked the door every day, Tenhiro could only close the door and complain to Wu Meng was basically useless.
Tenhiro Budokan was Shanghe's life's work, so Shang Yulin couldn't let it close in her hands.
"It's very simple."
Chang Hongkuo said arrogantly, "Give up your two spots for the competition."
Shang Yulin was furious. "That's impossible!"
Chang Hongkuo was referring to Tenhiro Budokan's direct selection quota for the Da Xia Martial Arts Competition.
The Da Xia Martial Alliance held a national martial arts competition every year. It was the highest standard in the country, the largest in scale, and also the most rewarding martial arts competition. It was also a grand event for tens of millions of Da Xia warriors.
The two direct selections from Tenhiro Budokan were very precious. With these selections, they did not need to participate in the regional preliminary, semi-finals, and finals. They could directly enter the national finals!
This was also one of the greatest treasures that Shanghe had left to Tenhiro Budokan.
However, Yamakai Budokan did not have such a quota.
Now that Chang Hongkuo had revealed his true intentions, he had completely exposed the ambitions of the Mountain Sea Sect.
How could Shang Yulin possibly agree?
"Not giving up?"
Chang Hongkuo smiled with victory in his hands. "Curator Shang, you have to think carefully. It's fine if you don't give up your quota, but will Tenhiro still be able to operate in the future?"
Shang Yulin glared at him, but there was nothing he could do.
At the end of the day, the current Tenhiro did not have the strength, so Chang Hongkuo dared to bully them without restraint. Furthermore, with such shameless means, Tenhiro could not resolve the matter if he did not accept the challenge.
Shanghe had passed away for more than half a year. As the saying goes, tea cools when people are gone. Even if Shang Yulin sued the Mountain Sea Sect to Wu Meng, the final outcome would be a dispute between the two sides, and nothing would be settled.
The Mountain Sea Sect clearly knew this, which was why they sent Chang Hongkuo and his men to challenge them.
Yamakai Budokan must have had an idea long ago. They waited until today to make their move. They were very patient!
At this moment, Zuo Yi finally understood the reason. Of course, he could not sit back and watch Shang Yulin fall into a dilemma.
"Chang Hongkuo!"
However, before Zuo Yi could step forward, Zhang Dahai shouted at Chang Hongkuo, "I'll fight you!"
He was a bit irritable, and he could not bear it anymore.
Shang Yulin panicked. "Zhang Dahai!"
Zhang Dahai, a Professional Fourth Pin, was no match for Chang Hongkuo, a Professional Seventh Pin.
She actually understood what Zhang Dahai was thinking. As long as he accepted the challenge, even if Tenhiro lost miserably, the Mountain Sea Sect, as the winner, would lose their reason to continue blocking the door. Otherwise, they would violate Wu Meng's rules.
But the problem was, in such a competition, would Chang Hongkuo show mercy to Zhang Dahai?
Zhang Dahai stubbornly shook his head at her, and then said to Chang Hongkuo, "Chang Hongkuo, how do you want to compete?"
Shang Yulin was about to continue persuading him, but Zuo Yi reached out and pressed on her shoulder. "Senior, it's okay. I'm here."
For some reason, under Zuo Yi's indifferent gaze, Shang Yulin's anxious mood suddenly calmed down. She felt that even if the sky fell and the earth cracked, it would not be a big deal.
She swallowed the words that had just rushed to her mouth.
"Zhang Dahai …"
Chang Hongkuo sneered. "You are not qualified to compete with me. I won't bully Tenhiro. Let's compete in three rounds."
"Xiong Wu, Qiu Kun, Wang Haiwei!"
He pointed out three people in one breath and said proudly, "Xiong Wu is a Professional Fourth Pin, Qiu Kun is a Sword Three, Wang Haiwei is a Sword Five, three against three. If Mountain Sea Sect loses one round, I promise I will never come to Tenhiro again!"
"But if we win all three rounds …"
Chang Hongkuo stared at Shang Yulin like a wolf. "Director Shang, then give up your spot!"
Shang Yulin hesitated.
Zuo Yi calmly said, "Agree to his request."
Shang Yulin did not hesitate any longer. "Okay!"
Chang Hongkuo probably worried about Shang Yulin's strong reaction, so the conditions of the competition proposed by Tenhiro were beneficial to them. This was because he had sent out Xiong Wu, Qiu Kun, and Wang Haiwei to deal with Zhang Dahai, Zuo Yi, and Shang Yulin.
Both sides had the same professional rank, so it was fair and reasonable.
Moreover, Tenhiro only needed to win one round to win, so their chances of winning were much higher.
This was the main reason why Shang Yulin agreed — in fact, she did not have a better choice.
Chang Hongkuo was a little surprised. He looked at Zuo Yi, then Shang Yulin, and finally at Zhang Dahai. He revealed a meaningful smile.
It was a teasing smile.
Two veins popped out on Zhang Dahai's forehead. He clenched his fists and growled, "Cut the crap. Get on stage!"
Chang Hongkuo's teasing smile made the flames in his heart burn even more fiercely.
"Don't be anxious."
Chang Hongkuo shook his head and said, "Director Shang, to ensure fairness and legality, I request for the competition to be broadcast live!"
Shang Yulin clenched his teeth. "Alright."
Chang Hongkuo's eyes flashed with a smug glint as he raised his hand and made a gesture.
Immediately, two people came forward with toolboxes. They skillfully opened the boxes and took out tripods, cameras, laptops, data cables, and other equipment. They began to install them around the martial arts arena in the training hall.
Soon, a set of two-camera live broadcast equipment was set up. It was connected to Da Xia's Wu Meng live broadcast platform through a computer!
Da Xia's Martial Arts Union had established its own official website when it was first established. After twenty to thirty years of development, it had become a large platform with hundreds of millions of members. It provided all kinds of services to martial arts organizations and members both at home and abroad.
The most unique and attractive platform was undoubtedly Wu Meng's live broadcast platform.
On this platform, any professional martial artist or martial arts dojo registered in Wu Meng could set up an exclusive live broadcast room for all platform members. Of course, the content of the live broadcast had to be related to martial arts.
Most of the martial arts dojos and countless instructors and mentors had such officially certified live broadcast rooms. Some provided online coaching services, while others became famous online martial arts streamers. Their popularity was no less than that of celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Every day, there were thousands of live broadcast rooms on Wu Meng's live broadcast platform, attracting tens of millions of viewers.
Chang Hongkuo said that he wanted to broadcast the match to be fair and legal. On one hand, it was to nail Shang Yulin so that she could not go back on her words. On the other hand, it was to completely trample Tenhiro Budokan into the mud.
He dared to propose such a condition for the match, which meant that he was 100% confident. Otherwise, it would become a joke.
Xiong Wu, Qiu Kun, and Wang Haiwei were all elite talents nurtured by Yamakai Budokan. Their strength far exceeded their ranks. The reason why they did not advance their ranks was because they wanted to challenge a higher rank. It was not because they had specially prepared for Tenhiro Budokan.
Therefore, Tenhiro could only be considered unlucky!
Chang Hongkuo did not have the ability to predict the future, but he could not think of a reason for failure.
Everything was under control!
