Just as Tang Shan was immersed in the system, time continued to pass. After a while, the rickshaw driver pulled him to the entrance of Hongkou Dojo.
Tang Shan alighted from the car and paid the fare before walking towards the dojo.
However, after taking two steps, he stopped because a sign on the left side of the dojo's door caught his attention. On the sign were engraved the words "No entry for Chinese people and dogs". Tang Shan was instantly enraged when he saw this. He immediately wanted to smash the sign with a punch, but he held back at the critical moment.
After all, he was here to issue a challenge today. If he smashed this sign, it would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble. At that time, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the door.
Tang Shan suppressed his anger and turned around to enter the door. They passed through the outer courtyard and arrived at the inner courtyard's gate, but were stopped by two puppet soldiers guarding the door. The two puppet soldiers were quite perceptive. Seeing Tang Shan's imposing manner, they did not dare to be negligent. They nodded and bowed as they asked,"Sir, may I know who you are?"
"Baka!"
Tang Shan cursed in Japanese, then glared at them. The two puppet soldiers immediately cowered and quickly smiled obsequiously to make way.
After entering the inner courtyard and passing through a corridor, they heard the sound of heated training. Following the sound, Tang Shan arrived at the Martial Arts Hall of Hongkou Dojo after a while.
The door of the Martial Arts Hall was wide open. In the middle of the hall, there was a plaque with the words "Hardness and softness" written on it. The strokes were very strong. In the hall, thirty to forty Japanese samurai in training clothes were training in full swing.
Seeing Tang Shan enter the hall, and a new face at that, a Japanese samurai walked towards him arrogantly.""Who are you? Don't you know that you can't just come in here?”
" I'm from China," Tang Shan said coldly." This is China's territory. Of course I can come in."”
"Guoluo Yalu!"
When the Japanese samurai saw that Tang Shan was here to cause trouble, he flew into a rage. He raised his hand and threw a punch at Tang Shan. However, Tang Shan's punch was faster than his. With a bang, the Japanese samurai flew out like a kite with a broken string. Tang Shan's strength of nearly 250 points was vividly displayed at this moment.
"Nani! Bagaya Lu!"
"This kid is here to challenge the dojo!"
"Everyone, attack together and kill him!"
After the Japanese samurai was sent flying by Tang Shan's punch, the samurai in the hall immediately reacted and scattered, surrounding Tang Shan in the middle of the hall.
Thus, a good show of " mowing grass " began.
"Bang bang bang!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Kacha kacha kacha!"
Tang Shan's men were no match at all. Of course, he was not completely without restraint. If he killed the Japanese here, then the Jingwu Sect would suffer. This was something he did not want to see.
About ten minutes later, there was no longer a single Japanese samurai in the hall who could stand.
Tang Shan shook his clothes and took out the letter of challenge from his pocket. He threw it on the ground and said coldly,""Three days later, my Jingwu School will set up a life-and-death arena in Hongkou Square to challenge your Hongkou Dojo. If your dojo master Akutagawa Ryuichi is not a coward, you'd better remember to come on time to accept the challenge.”
After saying that, Tang Shan no longer paid attention to the screams. The Japanese samurai turned around and left. When he arrived at the door, he saw the sign that said,"Chinese people and dogs are not allowed to enter." He could not help but feel an inexplicable anger in his heart. He might have had to be careful before the challenge, but now that the challenge had been issued, he no longer had any qualms. He immediately turned his body and gave a whip kick.
"Kacha!" The signboard shattered and turned into a pile of wooden shards.
Tang Shan then returned to Jingwu Sect with satisfaction.
By the time he returned to the Jingwu Sect, it was already afternoon. When they arrived at the martial arts field, they happened to see Chen Zhen practicing with his junior brothers. Tang Shan immediately called him over and asked,""Chen Zhen, did you call Tingen back?”
Chen Zhen's expression froze and he said awkwardly,""This…"
"It looks like you didn't call him back!”Tang Shan couldn't help but feel a little angry.
" Eldest Senior Brother, don't blame Fifth Senior Brother," Ah Chang said." We did ask Second Senior Brother to come back, but he refused to come back. He almost fought with Fifth Senior Brother."”
Seeing Chang complain, Chen Zhen quickly patted him.""You're so nosy.”
"Oh!" Chang looked aggrieved.
At this moment, Tang Shan nodded and pondered,""Could it be that because Master passed the Fine Martial Sect to me, this kid was indignant and began to exile himself?”At the thought of this, he said to Chen Zhen and Chen Yu,""You guys continue practicing. I'll go find him myself.”
Seeing Tang Shan's unfriendly expression, Chen Zhen couldn't help but interject,""Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother is just throwing a tantrum. Don't make things too difficult for him.”
" I know." Tang Shan nodded." No matter what, he's still Master's son. No matter how much he's wrong, I won't be too harsh on him."”
Tang Shan then turned around and left the Jingwu Sect. He hailed a rickshaw and went straight to Spring Fragrance Yard.
Spring Fragrance Court, in a certain room.
Huo Tingen said with a face full of excitement. His eyes were red and his eyes were blurry. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot of wine, but he continued to drink cup after cup without any signs of stopping.
prostitute Nu Xiaohong kept persuading him,"Tingen, you've already drunk a lot today.”
" No…" Huo Tingen said drunkenly." I still want to drink…I'll just drink myself to death…Anyway…Anyway, I'm just an extra in this world…"
"How can you say that?" Xiao Hong asked. Don't you still have the Jingwu Sect? Everyone in the Fine Martial Sect needs you."
Huo Ting 'en said," The Fine Martial Arts Sect…Hahaha…The Fine Martial Arts Sect is not mine…And it doesn't need me…My father…My father is biased…He passed the Fine Martial Arts Sect to Eldest Senior Brother…I admit…My talent…is not comparable to Eldest Senior Brother…But I am his biological son…My father is biased…biased…"
" Tingen," Xiao Hong continued," although I shouldn't be the one to say this, I'm still heartbroken to see you like this. Even if you never come to me again, I still have to say it." If I were Master Huo, I wouldn't have passed the sect to you because you couldn't even handle such a small setback. If I passed the sect to you, it would only ruin the inheritance of the sect.”
Huo Ting 'en trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. His dazed eyes suddenly became clear. Clearly, Xiao Hong's deafening words were like a wake-up call, making him feel ashamed.
At this moment, the voice of the brothel madame came from outside the door."Young Master Huo, Mr. Tang is here to see you.”
"What?! Eldest Senior Brother had come personally! No, I have to leave quickly!" Upon hearing the brothel madame's words, Huo Tingen sobered up. He opened the window in a panic and wanted to jump out of it.
"Tingen, don't, it's very high…"
Before Xiaohong could finish her sentence, Tang Shan had already pushed open the door and entered. When he saw Huo Ting 'en, who was about to jump out of the window and escape, he quickly shouted,""Huo Tingen, stop right there!"
Unable to escape, Huo Ting 'en could only brace himself and turn around. However, he still lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tang Shan.
"Sit down!" Tang Shan ordered again.
Huo Tingen was afraid of Tang Shan, so he had to obey.
Tang Shan didn't say anything else, and Huo Ting 'en didn't dare to say anything either. The atmosphere in the room immediately became silent.
It was Xiaohong who broke the deadlock."Since Mr. Tang has something to say to Tingen, I'll leave you alone for now!”
"No need!" "Miss, you're here. I have something to ask you later." Tang Shan said.”
"Tingen, you don't have to do this!" Tang Shan turned to Huo Tingen.”
"Eldest Senior Brother, I…"
Huo Tingen was about to speak when Tang Shan interrupted him.""Listen to me first. We grew up together and trained together. Although we are not biological brothers, we are more like biological brothers. You have always been competitive since you were young. The reason why you gave up on yourself today is most likely because Master passed the Jingwu Sect to me. You feel indignant in your heart!”
Huo Tingen lowered his head and remained silent.
Tang Shan continued," If that's the case, you don't have to be like this. Because my ambition is not in the Jingwu Sect. The reason why I took over this responsibility from my master is firstly because I don't want him to die of hatred. Secondly, it's because we're in a critical period. In fact, I have already made plans. After defeating Hongkou Dojo and restoring the name of the Fine Martial Arts Sect, I will pass the sect to you and then go north to participate in the war.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Tingen immediately looked up at Tang Shan with a look of disbelief."" Eldest Senior Brother, you…"
"Tingen, I know what you want to say.”" To put it bluntly," Tang Shan continued," in terms of personal ability, not to mention me, even you, Chen Zhen, can't compare to him. However, the inheritance of the Fine Martial Arts Sect was not determined by individual ability. Only when someone from the Huo family was the dojo master could the Fine Martial Arts Sect be considered orthodox. Therefore, the Fine Martial Arts Sect will be yours sooner or later, and it can only be yours.”
Hearing this again, Huo Tingen's nose suddenly turned sour, and tears immediately streamed down his face.""Eldest Senior Brother, I, I was wrong!"
As he said that, he was about to kneel in front of Tang Shan. Tang Shan naturally would not let him kneel and quickly pulled him back."What are you doing? Remember, you are Huo Yuanjia's son. Huo Yuanjia is a national hero. Is his son a coward?”
"Yes, sir! Eldest Brother was right. Huo Yuanjia's son was not a coward!”Huo Tingen sat down and wiped his tears.
"That's more like it! This is the Huo Tingen I know!" Tang Shan finally heaved a sigh of relief after Huo Ting 'en's heart was untied. He felt that he had not let down Huo Yuanjia's kindness.
