212 Heaven Roll of China (1/2)

When September was finally right by the doorstep, Chen Fan was finally ready to leave Lin City.

When he first arrived Lin City, he was all by himself save for Lu Yanxue and Miao Xiaoqian who he had picked up along the way. However, on the day he left, a large crowd gathered to see him off. There were the higher-ups of the Lu family, Medicine God Valley Sect and Yu Qin who represented the military headquarters.

Since he had to travel with Tong Shan, he decided to take a ride in one of the Lu family's Mercedes-Benz. ahead of him was Yu Qin and her Jeep with a military issued plate and many other luxury cars trailed behind Chen Fan's Mercedes-Benz. Many pedestrians paused to marvel at the sight and tried to guess which big wig these people were accompanying.

Lu Yanxue stood by the door and watched the convoy disappear into the distance. Even after the last car had disappeared from sight, she stood still and didn't want to leave. Lu Yanwu came over to her and heaved a sigh: ”He is gone now.”

”I know.” Lu Yanxue lowered her head and tugged the jade pendant hanging by her chest lightly, tiring to overcome the sadness in her.

”I wonder when I will be able to see you again, but I promise you that I will surprise you next time you see me.”

She rubbed the tears off her cheek and pulled herself together. ”Sister Yanwu, let's get back to work now. There are many things we need to change in this family.”

Chen Fan's victory over the former family lord of the Lu family, Lu Tianfen had breathed a new life into the Martial arts community in China. Many incredible events quickly followed suit.

Three months later, Romon and challenged all large sects and renowned martial arts families for nineteen days and was undefeated.

August 3, Romon challenged Tai Chi Sect's Grandmaster Chen Jiuyang. After three hours, the match ended in a draw.

August 15, the Young Grandmaster Chen Beixuan fought with the Grandmaster of the Hong Sect on the West Lake. This battle was considered one of the most spectacular fights in ten years since both combatants had reached to the peak of the Transcendent state. The battle was as exhilarating and visceral as everyone had expected. They had stirred up huge waves that were as high as ten meters. In the end, after Lei Qianjue was dealt a blow by Chen Beixuan, the match finally ended, and so did Lei Qianjue's life. Chen Beixuan used Lei Qianjue's life to prove his power and claim the throne of martial arts in China.

August 13, Chen Beixuan killed an elite member of the infamous assassin group The Blood Skull: Blacksnake. The event spread his fame outside of China to the entire world.

August 25, a few days after Chen Fan left Lin City, two Grandmasters sparred near Lin City. Although their battle lasted less than a minute, their presence was registered by many other martial artists. Many believed that one of them was Grandmaster Du from the Miao's Land and the other was a Grandmaster from Northeast China.

August 27, Chen Jiuyang challenged the family lord of the Hua family, Hua Yunfeng.

The Chinese Martial arts community had never been so lively and full of activity. Many Grandmasters who had been dormant since this point all seemed to come out from their reclusion and start to communicate and exchange ideas with each other.

Nearly all of the Grandmasters had to deal with challenges and victory was not always guaranteed. Therefore, most of the Grandmasters learned very quickly to hide in seclusion among the mountains and streams to stay away from trouble.

The ranking of the Grandmasters was based on their fighting records. So far, only three Grandmasters had never been challenged once.

Two of them were Chen Fan and Ye Nantian.

”Great-Great Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master Mu, Senior Brother Gao, Look! the new Heaven Roll is out!” Guo Xiuxiu stormed into the room, carrying her laptop.

”Heaven Roll? What the heck is that?” Mu Shan was a taken aback.

Gao Baisheng also paused his exercise and looked confused.

The scrawny old man piped up with a booming voice: ”I have never heard of anything like that. Heaven… Humph! Sounds pretentious to me.”

”Great-Great Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master Mu, didn't you know that youngsters like me talk to each other online? We have built a forum online for all the young martial arts to exchange information with each other.” Guo Xiuxiu announced mischievously. She then said quietly: ”When we put so many martial arts together, it wasn't long before we started to rank the martial artists around the world.”

”A bunch of youngsters trying to rank Grandmasters?” The scrawny old man snorted. ”Grandmasters were dragons and divine beings. Only a fellow Grandmaster could have fully appreciated the power of another Grandmaster. What does a bunch of fledglings know?”

”Well, that's why we just couldn't figure out the ranking for so long. After a while, someone called Kunlun finally posted this Heaven Roll that ranked the Grandmasters based on their battle results and their level of attainment.” Guo Xiuxiu's eyes lit up at the mentioning of Kunlun. ”He is often right about things, and knew a lot of information that I had never heard of before but all turned out to be true.”

”Kunlun?” Mu Shan was taken aback by the unfamiliar name.

However, the scrawny old man furrowed his brows and his face looked troubled.

”Yes. Here is a section of the Heaven Roll. Number fifteen, Chen Jiuyang, sixty-three years old and is from that Tai Chi sect. An expert at Tai Chi Qi Energy and had mastered the soft force technique. He had proven to be able to cast ten meters long Four True Righteousness Protection Aura. He is able to change and reshape qi energy at will and has exceptionally powerful True Qi compared to other Grandmasters. He is at the early stage of the Transcendent State. He lost a fight against Lei Qianjue seventeen years ago with a small margin. One month ago, his match against Lei Qianjue's disciple, Romon had ended in a draw. However, it was evident that his combat skill and experience put him above Romon…” Guo Xiuxiu read on.
