The sound of Qi Wufu's powerful voice echoed in his ears, and Jiang Wuming was slightly stunned.
This was the first time he had met Qi Wufu and spoken to him. He had not expected Qi Wufu to say such a thing to him.
At this moment, he felt a chord in his heart being struck, and a feeling he had never experienced before surged within him.
Pride.
For the first time, he felt proud to be a Dragon Country martial artist!
At the same time, a hint of jealousy appeared on Tian Gong Wuhong's face, which had originally been filled with gloom!
As the leader of the Japanese Martial Arts Association, how he wished he could say the same words to the Japanese martial artists as Qi Wufu had just said, but he couldn't.
Because his strength did not allow it!
Japan was not the Japan of eighty years ago, and Dragon Country was not the Dragon Country of eighty years ago.
Whether it was national strength or martial arts influence, the current Dragon Country could crush Japan!
Qi Wufu dared to slam the table and curse in the War God Hall's elder council, but Tian Gong Wuhong dared not.
Zhuge Lingjun dared to bring his war saber into the War God Hall's elder council meeting room, but the Japanese Martial God did not have such strength and courage!
The Dragon Country martial arts world had gone all out to protect Jiang Zhan back then, forcing the War God Hall to compromise. The Japanese martial arts world could not do that!
"Thank you, Marshal Qi!"
After his heart was filled with pride, Jiang Wuming thanked Qi Wufu, his words carrying a double meaning.
Qi Wufu said nothing, but smiled and ended the video call.
"Aunt Xia, your phone."
Jiang Wuming stepped forward and handed the phone to Xia Xueqin.
Xia Xueqin took the phone and sneered at Tian Gong Wuhong, Sato Tianyi, and the others, "Are you planning to renege on your promises by staying here? Or were you acting to deceive Marshal Qi Wufu just now?"
"—"
Upon hearing this, Tian Gong Wuhong, Sato Tianyi, and the others were so angry their livers and eggs hurt. Without a word, they left directly.
Qi Wufu not only retaliated in kind but also threatened to bring the once invincible Zhuge Lingjun to Japan. Even if they were given ten times the courage, they would not dare to go back on their word!
"A bunch of clowns who brought shame upon themselves!"
After Tian Gong Wuhong, Sato Tianyi, and the others left, Xia Xueqin, with a stern face, taunted them with disdain.
"Aunt Xia, did you communicate with Marshal Qi Wufu beforehand?"
Seeing Xia Xueqin's fierce side, Jiang Wuming couldn't help but smile. Then, he thought of Qi Wufu's call and asked curiously.
"I did not communicate with Marshal Qi beforehand."
Xia Xueqin shook her head slightly and explained, "After I sensed their aura, I judged that they were here to cause trouble for you. I rushed over immediately to stop them, but I didn't expect them to be so brazen.
Fortunately, Marshal Qi Wufu called at a critical moment to inquire about Huangfu Weixia's condition. I took the opportunity to report to him, and he stepped in to scare away those clowns. Otherwise, tonight's matter would have been very tricky."
"Aunt Xia, when I read your diary before, I could feel the power of the Dragon Country martial arts world. Today, I felt it even more deeply, and for the first time, I felt proud to be a Dragon Country martial artist," Jiang Wuming spoke his true feelings.
"Wuming, your father was the pride of the Dragon Country martial arts world back then. Perhaps, in the near future, the Dragon Country martial arts world will be proud of you!"
Hearing Jiang Wuming's words, Xia Xueqin couldn't help but think of Jiang Wuming's actions tonight, her face filled with expectation.
Tonight, at the young age of twenty, Jiang Wuming, with a martial arts realm of a one-star War God, single-handedly annihilated the headquarters of the Triad, accomplishing what even a three-star War God might not have been able to do!
Xia Xueqin had ten thousand reasons to believe that if the truth of this matter were to spread, the global martial arts world would be thrown into utter madness, and everyone would be shocked to the point of numbness!
She also firmly believed that with the martial arts talent displayed by Jiang Wuming, in time, he would definitely ascend to the pinnacle of global martial arts!
...
That night, members of the underground world and martial arts practitioners from all over the world waited on the Dark Web Forum and the Divine Net Forum for follow-up developments, but they received nothing.
Neither the Sato family nor the Japanese Martial Arts Association released any further news.
"The Sato family and the Japanese Martial Arts Association have gone silent. It seems the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall has successfully left Japan!"
"To avenge his subordinates, he single-handedly infiltrated Japan, annihilated the Triad headquarters, and left with a flick of his sleeve. The Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall is the best!"
For a time, a group of admirers of the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall appeared on the Dark Web Forum and the Divine Net Forum. Some people even clamored to join the War Dragon Hall and follow the Hall Master to conquer the world!
The next morning, when Jiang Wuming arrived at Tenglong Hospital, students from the Donghai Martial Arts University delegation, including Chu Feng, were gathered in Huangfu Weixia's ward, excitedly discussing the actions of the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall last night.
"Teacher Wuming is here!"
From within the crowd, someone with sharp eyes spotted Jiang Wuming and shouted.
In an instant, the bustling ward fell silent. Including Huangfu Weixia, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Jiang Wuming, their faces filled with excitement!
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Wuming paused, looking confused.
"Brother Wuming, you must know about the glorious deeds of the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall last night, right?"
Chu Feng was the first to break the silence in the ward.
"Mm."
Jiang Wuming nodded with a wry smile. How could he not know?
"Brother Wuming, the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall is simply too awesome!"
Chu Feng said excitedly, as if he was even prouder than if he himself had annihilated the Triad last night.
"That's right. I saw on the Divine Net Forum that with the strength of the Triad headquarters' martial artists, even a three-star War God would die there—the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall is simply god-defying!"
"Not just god-defying, I've seen many martial artists, including War Gods, express that the combat power and actions of the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall have subverted their understanding of martial arts!"
This time, after Chu Feng finished speaking, the other students couldn't help themselves and spoke out, expressing their inner feelings.
"Teacher Wuming, has the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall contacted you? You must know more about last night's events than us. Why don't you tell us?"
Huangfu Weixia's curiosity was also ignited.
"He didn't contact me. I only saw last night's events on the Divine Net and Dark Web forums, and the information I have is the same as yours."
Jiang Wuming lied with a wry smile.
This was because he could not tell Huangfu Weixia and the others that he was the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall.
Furthermore, yesterday evening, when Tian Gong Wuhong and Sato Tianyi had aggressively inquired about him, he had clearly stated that he did not know the whereabouts of the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall. If news were to leak out now, it would bring unnecessary trouble.
"What a pity. I thought we could get some details about last night from Teacher Wuming. This way, we could brag about it for many days when we return."
Upon hearing Jiang Wuming's words, everyone, including Huangfu Weixia and Chu Feng, felt deep regret.
Only Xiao Han was an exception.
As Jiang Wuming's disciple, he stood among the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Tea... Teacher Wuming, some people say you are a disciple of the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall. Is that true?"
"No."
Jiang Wuming smiled and shook his head, "My relationship with him is a bit complicated. You'll know when you meet him in the future."
"Teacher Wuming, as long as I become your disciple, will I have the chance to meet the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall like Xiao Han?"
"Teacher Wuming, is it still too late for me to become your disciple now??"
"Damn it, Brother Wuming promised me long ago that he would introduce me to the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall. Don't you guys try to snatch him, get in line!!"
In an instant, the ward became as noisy as a marketplace. Chu Feng's voice was the loudest, and his tone was the most proud.
It seemed that being the first to be promised by Jiang Wuming that he would meet the Hall Master of the War Dragon Hall was a very impressive thing for him!
On this day, because Jiang Wuming annihilated the Triad headquarters and put on a spectacular performance, he became an idol in the hearts of many young martial artists worldwide.
The War Dragon Hall also moved from the stage of the underground world to the stage of the global martial arts world.
Behind the scenes.
Some acted, some directed.
This grand play marked the beginning of a new act!
