In the next few days, because the funeral was not over yet, everyone went to work. After all, Bai Yifeng was a person from the 21st century. His IQ of 249 was more than enough to deal with these senior brothers and sisters. They got along well. He also suppressed his eagerness to learn martial arts.
This continued until the seventh day after Huo Yuanjia's death, which was commonly known as the " first seven days." Just as Bai Yifeng was silently waiting for Chen Zhen's return, a group of uninvited guests, following the development of the plot, came knocking on his door.
This group of people came uninvited and did not care about the disciples at the door blocking them. They rushed into the mourning hall and shouted,"Who is the master of the Elite Martial Sect? Come out quickly!"
The white-robed Huo Ting 'en frowned and immediately stepped forward.""Who are you? What brings you to my Jingwu Sect?"
The leader, a muscular man in a gray coat, glanced at him and said,""You are the head? Who is Huo Yuanjia to you?"
"I'm Huo Tingen, and Huo Yuanjia is my father," Huo Tingen said calmly.”
"So you're Huo Yuanjia's son.”The leader sneered." My surname is Ni. I'm the owner of Hebei Yangwei Martial Arts School. I heard that your Jingwu School has always been the top martial arts school in Shanghai. Your father, Huo Yuanjia, is invincible in Tianjin. I've always been suspicious. Therefore, I have always had a wish to spar with Master Huo. Unfortunately, I have been troubled by many things and have never been able to fulfill my wish. Recently, I heard that Master Huo had unfortunately died at the hands of the Japanese, so I specially came to attend his funeral. I also wanted to take this opportunity to ask for advice from your museum.”
This person spoke politely, but his face was filled with arrogance and his tone was extremely arrogant.
Seeing his attitude, Huo Ting 'en couldn't help but frown.""My father has just passed away, and today is the day of his burial. Why don't we talk about sparring later?”
"Brother Huo, we are all martial artists, so we naturally have to show our true strength. I just want to see your exquisite Huo Family Style. Why do you have to keep me at arm's length? As long as you fight with me, even if you lose, I'll be convinced.”
Master Ni came prepared, how could he retreat? Three years ago, he had once fought with Huo Yuanjia at a martial arts exchange event in another province. In the end, he had been defeated in less than three moves. This matter was like a thorn in his heart, and he had always been brooding over it. He finally heard that Huo Yuanjia was dead, and he wanted to avenge himself. If he couldn't beat Huo Yuanjia, then he could beat his son.
Huo Tingen was still immersed in the grief of his father's death these days. He was not in the mood to fight with anyone. He shook his head and refused,"Master Ni, it's really not appropriate to use force today.”
In the crowd, Bai Yifeng could tell at a glance that he was a bully.
"Hey, Huo, are you afraid? If you're afraid, just admit defeat to our master. Otherwise, others will say that we're bullying the elite martial arts sect.”Seeing Huo Ting 'en's repeated refusal, a disciple behind Master Ni suddenly spoke up and provoked him.
Another disciple also said mockingly,"That's right. I think Huo Yuanjia, the Invincible of Tianjin, is just a hoodlum. He was defeated by the Japanese. He's really a disgrace to the martial arts world. Master, I don't think the Jingwu Sect is anything special. Let's go back."”
" What did you say?" The people from the Jingwu Sect were furious and questioned him on the spot.
Just as the two sides were quarreling endlessly, Bai Yifeng, who had been secretly observing the door, suddenly saw a young man in a black tunic suit striding through the door. The other disciple, Ah Biao, carried his luggage and followed behind him.
This man with a resolute expression was undoubtedly Chen Zhen.
After entering the house, Chen Zhen took off his hat, revealing his long hair. When he saw the scene in the courtyard, he was surprised. At this moment, the disciples of the Elite Martial Sect also saw him and surrounded him in joy.
" Fifth Senior Brother…Fifth Senior Brother is back!"
Chen Zhen didn't say anything. He just nodded at the crowd and watched the situation.
Master Ni also saw Chen Zhen walking in from outside, but he did not take it to heart since he did not know him. However, when he saw that all the disciples of the Fine Martial Sect had run over and ignored him, he couldn't help but be furious. He didn't even bother to say the fake pleasantries from before. He shouted at Huo Ting 'en, who was still standing where he was,"What are you waiting for? Are we going to fight or not?"
Huo Ting 'en naturally noticed Chen Zhen as well, and he couldn't help but smile. Their eyes met across the air, and when they saw Chen Zhen nod his head vigorously, they instantly understood what he meant. They cupped their fists and said,""Alright, since Master Ni wants to see my father's Huo Family Style, our Essence Martial Sect will definitely accompany you to the end. This is my late father's mourning hall. If you want to spar, please go outside.”
It was Bai Yifeng's first time watching a real martial arts competition, so he was also looking forward to it. However, this was a typical walk-on character. Huo Tingen defeated him with just a few punches and kicks, and he could not see the reason behind it. The little episode passed just like that.
Following that, just as Bai Yichen knew, Chen Zhen took off Huo Yuanjia's " forbearance " and broke it with one hand. He was going to settle the score with the Japanese. This time, he would definitely be able to see real kung fu, and Bai Yifeng did not want to miss it. He quickly stood up and said," Uncle Nong, Eldest Senior Brother, I'm more familiar with foreign affairs. I'll go with Fifth Senior Brother. If anything happens, we can take care of each other."”
Chen Zhen was about to walk out when he heard this and stopped. He looked over in confusion. In his memory, he had never seen Bai Yifeng before. He could not help but ask,""Who is he?"
"This is Bai Yifeng, the last disciple I took in on behalf of my father.”Huo Tingen took the initiative to introduce Bai Yifeng.""Junior Brother Bai is the same as you. Both of you have been overseas before. Let him go with you.”
Chen Zhen's anger was still burning and he was not in the mood to ask Bai Yifeng about it. He only shook his head slightly and said,""Junior Brother, you don't have to follow me. I'll go alone. No matter what, I have to find out about Master's death.”
"Senior Brother Chen Zhen, let me go. I've always had my doubts about Master's death. Like you, I don't believe that Master would lose to the Japanese, so I also want to clarify this matter and seek justice for Master!”Bai Yifeng knew exactly how Huo Yuanjia died, but it was not the right time to tell him. Besides, no one would believe him even if he did.
These words seemed to have hit Chen Zhen's heart at the same time. He looked at Bai Yifeng with a strong sense of recognition in his eyes. He raised his hand and patted Xia Yang's shoulder,""Alright, Junior Brother Bai, let's go to Hongkou Dojo together and see what those Japanese are capable of!”
After saying that, the two of them walked out at the same time and left the Jingwu Sect in large strides.
Their destination was not far from them. Besides the Hongkou Dojo, the Japanese embassy was also located in this area. Along the way, the number of Japanese people on the streets had obviously increased. Each and every one of them held their heads high, as if they were the masters of this land.
Slowly walking towards the direction of the training hall, Bai Yifeng looked at this scene coldly and suddenly said,""Fifth Senior Brother, who do you think these people are?”
" They're all Japanese," Chen Zhenyan said.
"No, these people are all invaders!”Bai Yifeng turned on his pretentious mode and said through gritted teeth,"These Japanese devils are bullying our compatriots on the land of our country. They are tyrannical and do whatever they want. This is also the reason why I joined the martial arts sect. I want to learn martial arts well so that I can chase these Japanese out of our territory in the future.”
As a 21st-century " turd ", he couldn't forget his national hatred. Of course, he also wanted to get closer to Chen Zhen and learn something. Chen Zhen also agreed with him. The two of them had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Hongkou Dojo.
The Hongkou Dojo was a branch of the Japanese Black Dragon Gang in Shanghai. It was connected to the Japanese embassy and was heavily guarded by soldiers.
One of them was dressed in a neat Japanese student uniform, while the other was dressed in a well-ironed suit. They were very different from most of the Chinese people nowadays. The guards thought that they were Japanese immigrants and did not question them at all. They let them go directly.
The two of them entered the dojo and heard the sound of practicing martial arts. They followed the source of the sound and soon arrived at a spacious hall. As far as they could see, there was a group of students in white training clothes shouting the same slogan. Their aura was imposing.
At the same time, the sound of their leather shoes stepping on the wooden planks attracted the attention of the Japanese inside.
Seeing two unfamiliar faces walk in, one of the Japanese students immediately walked up and questioned loudly,"Who are you? How can you come here?”
Chen Zhen's face was cold as he said word by word,"" Chen Zhen from the Essence Martial Sect."
After Bai Yifeng from the Jingwu Sect reported his identity, Chen Zhen said calmly,""We are looking for Akutagawa Ryuichi."
Inside the dojo, Akutagawa's eldest disciple, Watanabe, held a wooden sword and looked at the two of them with contempt. He said disdainfully,""Celestial pigs are not allowed to enter Hongkou Dojo.”
Upon hearing his words, Bai Yifeng had already stepped forward before Chen Zhen could speak. He said coldly,""Japanese dog, this is the place of us Chinese people. Every Chinese person can come in openly.”
Facing the Japanese, no one was afraid. Moreover, Chen Zhen was beside them.
Sure enough, two Japanese men rushed up immediately. Chen Zhen moved extremely quickly and directly pressed down on the man's head. He pressed down and made him fall heavily to the ground, letting out a miserable cry.
This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest. The Japanese people on the field roared and surrounded him.
"Junior Brother, just stand here and don't move.”Chen Zhen instructed in a low voice. Instead of retreating, he advanced like a tiger entering a flock of sheep and pounced into the Japanese crowd.
In fact, Bai Yifeng had no intention of going up either. He was simply a rookie among rookies, the saltiest among salted fish. However, why did these words sound so strange? "Junior Brother, stand here and don't move. I'll go buy an orange."
