200 Rise to Fame (1/2)

”Lei Qianjue is… dead!”

The news swept across the Chinese martial arts community and then made its way to the Chinese communities all over the world. Lei Qianjue had been the dominating figure among the overseas Chinese for decades and was called the most powerful Grandmaster outside of China; he was reputable all over the globe. However, such a powerful man was killed by a young man less than twenty years old in a fight. This was indeed unthinkable for most ordinary people.

The Chinese communities in Yan Jin, Zhong Hai, Jin City, Lin Nan, South-East Asia, Canada were all shocked by the news.

After learning the news, a name was imprinted into their brains:

”Chen Beixuan!”

He was the youngest Grandmaster and rumor had it that Chen Beixuan had even reached the Immortal State! Although most people didn't believe in such a rumor, they all agreed that Chen Beixuan was the strongest Grandmaster in the world.

Even among the martial arts communities in countries such as Japan and Korea, the martial artists had heard the name and the illustrious achievements of Chen Beixuan.

Hong Sect called for an emergency meeting and recalled all the regional underbosses that scattered around the world to discuss the implication of Lei Qianjue's death. Lei Qianjue was the most powerful Grandmaster in Hong Sect, the backbone of the organization as well as the regional underboss in Canada. With his death, all the oppositions of the Hong Sect in Canada were bound to up the ante. Even though the Hong Sect had other Grandmasters, their power was a far cry compared to that of Lei Qianjue.

Fortunately, Lei Qianjue's Candian disciple Romon was also a Grandmasters and should be able to handle the situation in Canada. Otherwise, the Hong Sect was about to lose most of their territories in Canada.

Zhong Zhou, the ancestral ground of the Ba Ji Sect…

Many leaders of the Ba Ji sect gathered in the same room. No one had spoken a word ever since they had heard the news about the fight at the West Lake.

The thin but energetic old man sitting at the head of the table was the oldest man in the room. He said with a booming voice. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”I have underestimated Chen Beixuan's power.”

Grandmaster Lei, Mu Shan, Guo Xiuxiu and many other martial artists sat on either side of the table, and no one said a thing, dragging out the silence. The outcome of the fight had caught them by surprise. Chen Beixuan and Lei Qianjue threw off their gloves on the West Lake, and both had demonstrated their power as Grandmasters. After having nearly turned the West Lake upside down, the battle ended with Lei Qianjue's death after being dealt a blow from Chen Beixuan.

”I don't think even younger Uncle-Master would be able to handle Chen Beixuan.” Mu Shan heaved a long sigh.

He was dealt a blow on his chest by Lei Qianjue's disciple Romon, and the pain still lingered even after the wound was healed. Three months ago, Romon was challenging each and every sect in China, and he eventually knocked on Ba Ji Sect's door.

Even though Mu Shan's leg hasn't fully recovered, as the most competent fighter in the sect, he accepted the challenge. After all, he couldn't let the eighty years old Great Uncle Master face off against such a powerful foe. Such cowardice would definitely invite humiliation from other sects.

However, Romon's power had far exceeded Mu Shan's expectations. He didn't use any fancy technique; instead, his punches and kicks were direct and to the point. Every movement had its purpose and meant the death of his opponent. Worse, Romon's physical strength was unimaginable. He had enough raw power to crack open a mountain, smash a wall, or bend an iron pillar.

Mu Shan lasted less than three moves during his fight against Romon. After learning that Romon's teacher was killed by Chen Fan, Mu Shan lost any remaining hope of avenging his humiliation at the hands of Chen Fan.

Gao Baisheng lowered his head as despair claimed him.

They said that a good enemy motivates one to work harder; however, when the gap between him and the enemy was unbridgeable, the enemy would only inspire despair.

”Zhentang… sigh…” The thin old man heaved a sigh and shook his head.

The name had taken the wind out of everyone's sails. Ever since the disappearance of Huo ZhengTang, the Little War God, the Ba Ji sect had become rudderless and was on the verge of falling apart. Otherwise, the fight with Romon would have ended very differently.

”Fine, fine, from now on, we will try to avoid Chen Beixuan. No one should bring up the bad blood between us again.” The thin old man tapped the table firmly and announced seriously.

”Yes, Great Uncle Master.” Everyone stood up and bowed as they replied gravely.

The Ba Ji Sect had to swallow down the humiliation; after all, no one in the sect had what it took to challenge a Demon God such as Chen Beixuan. Strength was the ultimate truth among the martial artists, and therefore, they should swallow down their resentment and concede defeat.

Guo Xiuxiu stood still, looking attractive as ever. She still found it hard to believe that an ordinary-looking young man could turn out to be one of the most powerful Grandmasters in the world.

Such meetings carried out not only in the Ba Ji Sect but also in the Diamond Temple, Xin Yi Sect and the Wu family of northwestern China. All the meeting had arrived at the same conclusion: ”Do not mess with Chen Beixuan.”

Chen Fan had dominated the martial arts landscape before he had even reached twenty.

Meanwhile… in the family estate of the Lu family in Lin City…

The air was filled with celebratory sentiments. People hung colorful lanterns and unboxed new-years decorations to gave the old house a complete makeover.

In the three months that had passed, Lei Qianjue had been fishing on his boat at the West Lake a few kilometers away from the Lu family. The presence of the Great Grandmaster cast a heavy shadow over the Lu family, restricting their activities. Even their territories all over China had been challenged by many regional opponents, making the situation extremely difficult.

In the end, people started to insinuate the idea of abandoning Lu Yanxue and draw a clear line with Chen Fan. After all, no one had expected the young man to survive the battle in the first place.

However, the great-great-grandpa of the family had opposed to such betrayal and ensured Lu Yanxue's safety in the family.

Now the fight was over, and everything turned out to be fine. Chen Fan had killed Lei Qianjue in front of martial artists from all over China, making him the crowned king of the Chinese martial arts community.
