Chapter 561 Ineligible
Chen Yang paused for a moment after hearing Liu Ran's words, then said to her, "The night you saved me twenty years ago, the people chasing me behind were from the Zhou family."
Liu Ran was stunned, then nodded. She knew this had always been Chen Yang's deepest pain. She didn't remain silent any longer and said, "Alright then, we'll proceed simultaneously. One side will establish the Yangyangyang Club, focusing on the Yangyangyang football team, and the other side will have the company select streamers to enter various variety shows for exposure."
Finally, Liu Ran looked at Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, since you're fully advocating for forming a football team to compete with the Zhou family, the football team matters will be entrusted to you. The company will provide any assistance and all resources."
"However, we don't even have any players for the football team yet, nor have we registered. So, you need to quickly finalize the selection of football team members and the establishment of the football team."
Chen Yang nodded, stood up, and looked at Liu Ran, saying, "Don't worry, wife. I'll do my best."
With that, Chen Yang strode out of Liu Ran's office.
This time, forming the football team was not just for the Yangyangyang Company, but also for the blood feud of twenty years ago. This time, he would eventually have to face the Zhou family's football team. At that time, he could also gauge the Zhou family's strength.
Chen Yang headed straight for the security department.
Although the people in the Heavenly Physician Hall were not very proficient in football, they were martial artists, and playing football would be very easy for them.
The Kung Fu Soccer movies that were very popular before, although exaggerated, in the real world, if a group of martial artists were to play football, it would definitely be more exciting than any football match.
After all, for a martial artist, all it took was one opportunity, and they could instantly kick the ball from one end of the field into the goal.
When Chen Yang arrived at the security department, he said loudly, "I need more than a dozen people who have played football to come with me to the Qingzhou City Football Association to establish a football team. If anyone has played football, step forward and come with me immediately."
The subordinates in the Heavenly Physician Hall looked at each other in bewilderment, and then more than twenty people immediately stepped forward, with surprise and amusement on their faces.
"Are we martial artists really going to play football? If we were on the field, what would other football players do?"
"Even the best World Footballers now are just rookies in front of us!"
"Let's go, let's go. This is a good time to bring glory to the country. With just a light kick from our football team, we can directly defeat the world's most famous footballers."
A burst of laughter echoed in the security department. For the people of the Heavenly Physician Hall, playing football was indeed too easy.
Even if they hadn't trained much, with their control over their physical strength and their kicking power and stamina, it would be easy for them to win by scores of 100-0 or 1000-0.
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Everyone calm down first. We martial artists can play football, but our opponents, the Zhou family, can also send martial artists. So, don't let your guard down."
"After all, our opponents are truly strong. Let's go."
Chen Yang casually selected fifteen people and headed towards the Qingzhou City Football Association.
Upon arriving at the Football Association's management office, Chen Yang explained his purpose.
The other party looked at Chen Yang and his group, then pointed to the large hall beside them and said, "Gentlemen, if you wish to form a football team and register as a formal club football team to participate in matches, you must first undergo physical examinations and real-name registration."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "No problem."
The staff led Chen Yang and the more than ten people towards the adjacent hall.
There was a door at the front of the hall. Chen Yang thought it was a security gate and walked past it without much thought.
Then, the second subordinate followed Chen Yang into the door. As soon as he crossed the threshold, the alarm on the door beeped.
The staff member beside them was startled.
At that moment, an old man rushed out from inside. Seeing the red light flashing on the door, he looked terrified. He quickly walked over, his face full of smiles, and said to Chen Yang and his group, "Oh dear, sirs, please don't tease me. Our football association has explicit regulations that do not accept martial artists."
Chen Yang's expression became surprised. He looked at the old man and said, "Huh? Is this door a detector for martial artists?"
The old man nodded and said, "Anyone who has cultivated internal energy will set off the alarm when passing through this door. When this young man passed, the alarm turned red, indicating that this young man is not only a martial artist but also an absolute master."
"So, please forgive me. Football is a sport for ordinary people. Please, powerful heroes, do not make things difficult for this old man."
The old man's posture was very humble. Although he held a high position in the Football Association, he knew that anyone who set off a red light was at least a master of the Great Heavenly Cycle. Such a person could crush him with a single finger.
The subordinate's face turned red. He looked at Chen Yang dejectedly and said, "Captain, this door is really too sensitive. I… I'll try walking through it again."
The subordinate turned back and walked again, then tried his best to conceal his internal energy and crossed the door once more. The next moment, the red light on the door lit up again.
The subordinate was very upset. He had clearly tried his best to conceal his internal energy within his body. He, a dignified master, had tried hard to hide his internal energy, but it was still detected by the door.
The other security team members also passed through the door one by one. Without exception, their internal energy was detected. Only Chen Yang could pass through the detection gate back and forth freely like an ordinary person, without being detected by the alarm on the door.
The old man beside them saw the team members trying to conceal their internal energy in front of him, trying to evade the security detection gate.
He gave a wry smile and quickly said, "Gentlemen, please stop fooling around. The technology used in this detection gate is very advanced. Even if you have only cultivated a trace of malevolent energy, this door can detect it."
"This is the only way to ensure that martial artists are excluded from participating in the Olympics and other international competitions. So, please find another sport to play."
Chen Yang was surprised after hearing the old man's words. At this point, he finally understood why martial artists were not participating in some events at the Olympics, such as boxing, sanda, or other competitions.
So, martial artists were to be excluded.
It seemed that to pass through this detection gate freely, one had to reach his level.
However, in the entire Heavenly Physician Hall, only he could pass through this detection gate freely. Even Zhu Que and the other three could not do so.
Chen Yang sighed helplessly and said, "I understand, old man. Thank you for your guidance. We'll be leaving now."
Chen Yang led the security team members and turned to leave. They returned to the Yangyangyang Company and happened to meet Liu Ran walking out quickly.
Seeing Chen Yang and his group, Liu Ran hurried over with a smile. "How was it, Chen Yang? You didn't actually bring the security team to register our Yangyangyang Company's football team, did you?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Don't mention it. None of them were qualified. Forget it. To be precise, only I was qualified. The others were not."
Liu Ran thought "ineligible" meant they didn't know how to play football. She chuckled and said, "Football is a very professional sport. Besides good skills, you must have strong stamina, enough to run for dozens of minutes on the field. Most people can't sustain this kind of stamina. I suggest we should buy players with strength."
Hearing Liu Ran's words, Chen Yang's eyes suddenly lit up. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Oh, wife, I know! I have someone in mind!"
