Chapter 51
The so-called martial arts halls were equivalent to cram schools in Xia Ping’s previous life.
The college entrance examination had tests regarding martial arts. Every parent hoped that their children’s academic performance was good. But what they learn from school was not enough. So, they were sent to a martial arts hall for further training.
Therefore, the martial arts halls gathered top students from various high schools in Tianshui City. There were even rumors that people who had not attended a martial arts hall basically had no chance of being admitted to a first-cla.s.s university.
Of course, just as there were good and bad cram schools, martial arts halls were naturally varied in quality. The more famous the martial arts hall, the stronger the students in them.
And Wuwei Martial Arts Hall was undoubtedly a well-known one which had taught many powerful people. Even figures like Zhou Taian were attracted to it.
“It seems that I have to go to Wuwei Martial Arts Hall today. There should be a lot of masters there. It is a suitable place for my practice.” Xia Ping’s eyes flashed and he made a decision immediately.
…………
Time pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Soon it was time for the end of school in the afternoon. Wuwei Martial Arts Hall was not far from Tianshui city 95th High School; about three or four bus stops away.
Xia Ping got on the autonomous and driverless electric smart bus and arrived at Wuwei Martial Arts Hall within a few minutes.
“This is Wuwei Martial Arts Hall?”
After getting off the bus, Xia Ping came to the gate of Wuwei Martial Arts Hall and saw a huge building in front of him. It was square and simple in style, just like an ancient courtyard house.
At the door, there were two stone lions about one-person tall, with a plaque on them on which the four characters of Wuwei Martial Arts Hall were written. ‘The sky where powerful dragons and phoenixes dance.’
At this time, some part-time students seemed to be handing out flyers at the door, trying to recruit students.
“This friend.”
When a tall man saw Xia Ping coming, his eyes lit up and he immediately called out with an enthusiastic att.i.tude: “You want to join the Wuwei Martial Arts Hall? You are definitely making the right decision.”
“Who doesn’t know that Wuwei Martial Arts Hall is a prestigious martial arts hall in Tianshui City. There are countless martial arts experts who have graduated from here. Even top students from various universities join here due to their admiration.”
“As long as you train in Wuwei Martial Arts Hall for two or three months, I believe that your martial arts skills would definitely improve by leaps and bounds. You could even be admitted to a top university.”
“Tuition for three months is 15,000 federal dollars. Of course the price is not cheap, but I can guarantee that it is definitely worth the money. People who come here have only sung praises.”
He seemed like a salesperson, constantly promoting Wuwei Martial Arts Hall to Xia Ping.
But the price was simply too expensive.
The tuition fee for one semester of 95th High School was around 1000 federal dollars. But only three months of training here required 15,000 federal dollars which was simply not affordable for ordinary people.
“I’m here to challenge the hall.” Xia Ping said flatly to the chattering guy.
What?!
Not only the tall man, but even some of the people who were handing out flyers next to him were stunned. They seemed to be taken aback and turned to look at Xia Ping.
“Came to challenge the hall?”
The tall man showed a non-smiling expression on his face. He turned his head and shouted at the person inside: “Brother Xu, another person who knows nothing has come to challenge the hall. Come and deal with it.”
“What? Which idiot came over today to court death? Didn’t they learn their lesson last time? It seems I’ll have to give a deep memorable lesson.”
