They got into a black car and soon arrived at the headquarters of the Phoenix Martial Arts Alliance. The headquarters was located in the suburbs of Shanghai, covering an area of 9000 acres. In Shanghai, where every inch of land was worth gold, it was really impossible to get such a large area of land without some background.
From afar, Lelouch could see the headquarters of the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance through the car window. He could vaguely hear the shouts of the disciples practicing martial arts. Their voices were sonorous and powerful, full of energy.
"As expected of the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance. I can even hear the sound of disciples practicing martial arts here.”
Lu Tianming said proudly,""Your Highness, you flatter me. Our Phoenix Wuxia Alliance is also nurturing talents for the country. Without the strong support of the imperial court, the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance would not have today.”
Although Lu Tianming wasn't old, his years of experience with the higher-ups made him know that the little ghost in front of him might look small, but he had a lot of power.
He didn't dare to be negligent. Putting aside his identity, the Ripple Qigong he had spread was something that not only the military but also many big shots in the martial arts world owed him. Take the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance as an example. The instructors were either stupid or really magnanimous for this young man to actually teach his family's ultimate skill, Ripple Qigong, to the world.
Even though the Ripple Qigong was not a martial arts secret manual that could allow one to become an expert in a short period of time, its auxiliary effects made the eyes of all martial artists shine. Many big shots in the martial arts world praised it.
If he needed help, someone would definitely help him.
Lu Tianming naturally wouldn't treat Lelouch like an ordinary seven-year-old kid.
"That's right, to nurture talents for the Imperial Court.”Lelouch nodded in agreement. He thought to himself,'As expected of someone who can get to this position in China. He's really smart.'
"I've always heard that the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance is very powerful and has nurtured many experts.”Lelouch changed the topic. He was not too clear about how martial artists were classified in this world.
"Your Highness, this so-called expert is hard to say. Outsiders watch the show and experts watch the tricks. Because in the eyes of most people, the experts are experts in competitive competitions.”Lu Tianming laughed on purpose.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Lelouch was interested.
Lu Tianming said seriously," Your Highness, the Phoenix Martial Arts Alliance has allocated funds for the court to gather martial arts experts from all over the world to form a martial arts alliance. Our only goal is for the people to resist humiliation and strive for self-improvement. We hope that our compatriots across the sea can cheer up and join us. We will strengthen our bodies and make the land of China flourish again." Every year, there were strict requirements for the recruitment of disciples. Each time, no more than a hundred people could enter the final selection.”
"A hundred people? En, it's not a small amount." Lelouch said calmly.
"Your Highness must be joking. Every year, there were more than ten thousand people who came to the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance to register. It was already a miracle that a hundred people were selected every year. It was hard to say how many of these hundred people could become the personal disciples of the senior instructor.”Lu Tianming laughed.
"Personal disciple? Does that mean the competition is not small?" Lelouch frowned. This was really interesting. Could it be that the spots for personal disciples are being held by the various worlds?”
Lu Tianming shook his head and smiled bitterly." Your Highness, you must be joking. Many aristocratic families have their own family martial arts. Even if they come to our Phoenix Martial Arts Alliance to learn martial arts, they won't take up the enrollment quota. Their resources and money are all self-provided. This is the rule of the imperial court. Most of the quota is for young talents with no background to fight for. After all, we are also nurturing talents for the national army.”
"I see. It seems that the Phoenix Martial Arts Alliance's recruitment is really strict.”Lelouch naturally wouldn't just listen to him. He would only know if he went to see for himself.
Not long after, their car drove into the headquarters of the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance.
Even though the headquarters was located in the suburbs of Shanghai, the famous martial arts academy was surrounded by all kinds of shopping streets. It was definitely not worse than a small county.
Pharmacy, protective gear shop, hairdresser, restaurant... everything was available. Lelouch was dazzled by the sight. It was indeed a unique feature of China.
When they arrived at the Alliance building, there were already people waiting there.
A beautiful young woman dressed in martial arts clothes stood in the line. Her hair was tied up, letting people know that she was married. Her faint smile made people feel like a spring breeze had brushed past, and they immediately had a good impression of her.
The car stopped in front of them. Lulu Xiu got out of the car, and the woman came up to welcome him." Welcome to our Phoenix Wuxia Alliance, Your Highness. I am the temporary highest instructor of the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance, Yan Qiuye.”
"Yan Qiuye, Madam Yan, hello.”Lelouch replied.
"No, Your Highness, please call me Madam Ma. My husband, Ma Jianxing, is the highest instructor of the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance.”Yan Qiuye, no, Ma Yanshi said solemnly.
"Alright, Madam Ma." Lelouch immediately understood. Was this a habit of the ancient people of the Celestial Empire? And what the hell was Ma Jianxing doing? How could that bald old man have such a beautiful wife? What was he doing in Country R? Was it because that was the best place for romance and action movies? Or was it because there were more special magazines there?
The kid in front of her was only seven or eight years old, but Mrs. Ma still treated him as an equal. Not only because of etiquette, but also because of the Ripple Qigong.
Martial arts was all about the mind, skills, and body.
As the saying goes, the most important thing in the path of martial arts was perseverance. There were many disciples with good temperament and skills. There were many martial arts schools in the Chinese Federation, but it was a little troublesome for the body.
As the saying goes, even though the divine turtle's life was over, it would take a long time to accumulate strength by relying on conventional training. Many sects had their own special training methods. After the continuous modification of the ancestors, they tried their best to not leave any internal injuries while training. However, how could they not suffer from injuries?
Every martial artist would have some, and the hidden injuries that old martial artists suffered when they were young and old were more likely to erupt.
However, the activation of the Ripple Qigong's cells could heal many years of pain and delay aging. This was simply a divine technique that could be used as a support. It had resolved the pain of countless martial artists. Its merits were boundless.
He welcomed Lelouch to the main hall and served him tea.
Under the friendly atmosphere, Madam Ma finally opened her mouth and said with a smile," Your Highness, what do you have for us at the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance?”
"I'm here to learn." Lelouch said resolutely.
"Learn!" Not only Madam Ma, even the middle-aged men, the bearded old man, the middle-aged woman, and the other high-level instructors who accompanied her looked at each other in shock.
One of them, a middle-aged man with a small mustache and a gray robe, who was not burly, said," Your Highness, you came from a martial arts family and have inherited martial arts such as Ripple Qigong. I believe you will not lack martial arts techniques. We are flattered that you have come to the Phoenix Martial Arts Alliance to learn from us."”
"May I ask who you are?" Lelouch looked at the other party. That person's face was filled with righteousness and did not seem like a bad person. The question he asked was also within Lelouch's expectations.
"I'm Rong Baichuan." The middle-aged man said seriously.
"So it's the famous Rushing Thunder Hand, Rong Baichuan.”Lelouch laughed.
"I didn't expect that my insignificant name would reach Your Highness 'ears.”Rong Baichuan was secretly delighted. His reputation was still useful.
"Mr. Rong, I'm the only one left in my family. The only thing I know is that I used to practice Ripple Qigong. I don't even have 10% of my other martial arts heritage left. That's why I came to the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance to learn the basics of martial arts.”Lelouch said half-truthfully.
"I see." Rong Baichuan nodded. He didn't find any loopholes in Lulu Xiu's words. At such a young age, his family's fortune was declining, so he naturally wouldn't have any profound martial arts inheritance. It was already very impressive to have martial arts like Ripple Qigong.
The few instructors wanted to exchange a few words, but Madam Ma replied," Your Highness, we all agree that you came to our alliance to learn martial arts. However, there is a condition.”
" What condition? Please tell me." Lelouch was not afraid of the other party's conditions.
"This is our condition. "Your Highness, you are not allowed to find trouble with the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance for any reason during your martial arts training. Please forgive me, Your Highness, because very few rich young masters can endure the pain of learning martial arts. Some even said that our alliance is destroying people, so..." Mrs. Ma's face was filled with worry.
"Madam, don't worry. I've already thought about it. We'll write a letter as proof. I won't suffer. I'll leave on my own and won't find trouble with the Alliance.”Lelouch asked his bodyguard to take out the contract that he had prepared earlier and handed it to Mrs. Ma.
Madam Ma looked at the other instructors who had passed the documents to her and said," It seems that Your Highness has already made preparations.”
"Chances are given to those who are prepared.”Lelouch laughed.
After everyone passed it on, it was handed over to Madam Ma. She and Lelouch both pressed their fingerprints on the contract. From then on, Lelouch officially joined the Phoenix Wuxia Alliance to practice martial arts.
