Chapter 281: Skull Gate Demon Extermination Instance! Ma San: I Hope The Chen Family Head Knows Better!
（Qi cultivation, qi cultivation, I say it several times, delete it several times, it is useless. And qi cultivation stage? This story simply does not have a qi cultivation stage. It follows the realm system of Shu Shan Swordsman.
Once the eight extraordinary meridians are opened and the spiritual meridians are connected, you enter the Liquid Condensation Stage and can ride the sword to fly. Do not forcefully equate opening the eight extraordinary meridians with the qi cultivation stage.
Damn, he has already opened seven extraordinary meridians, and he has a treasure like the spirit jade ball, plus steel needles refined with the artifact refining furnace. Wiping out one thousand people and you still think it is exaggerated? I am really impressed! ）
…………
Ma San heard Brother Long’s instructions and could only helplessly agree to this matter.
Besides, Brother Long was right about one thing. No matter how powerful the Chen Clan’s martial arts are, they are still mortal flesh. In front of bullets, they will kneel.
After a while, his mobile phone ringtone rang again. Seeing the number, he immediately picked up.
“Brother Long has already given the order and told us to follow your arrangements.” A deep voice came from the other end.
“Come find me and regroup first.” Ma San instructed.
These people were the cleanup team, each one an international expert.
If their plan had any flaws and someone caught hold of their trail, the cleanup team would use all kinds of methods to kill the person who discovered it, or kill the “trail” itself.
For example, in this plan, if he was targeted and it might lead to trouble for Brother Long and the entire organization later, then this cleanup team would get rid of the person watching him, or get rid of him.
Naturally, all these people had the firearms Brother Long mentioned.
From what he knew, domestically, they had already cleaned up seven times without any slip-ups, often making it look like an accident.
…
Chen Dalong became famous.
The video of him easily knocking out Habak, this world champion, with two kicks spread across the entire internet in an instant.
At the live competition, many people recorded, edited, and uploaded to various network platforms at the first moment.
《The Chen Clan’s kung fu has finally been verified in the ring!》
《Two kicks to KO a world fighting champion, it makes my hot blood boil.》
《Chen Dalong: I am the weakest in my family, I can only bully a world fighting champion.》
All kinds of hot titles appeared online.
People in the country have a strong wuxia sentiment and are very curious about and drawn to martial arts.
So, all kinds of martial arts bloggers can thrive on Douyin and other network platforms.
Even if it is just a construction worker who can chop two bricks, he can claim he practices martial arts, and people will follow. With some live streaming and product promotion, he can earn more in a month than an ordinary person.
There are also those with throwing knife skills and archery skills, who get even more followers.
There was an archer who proved that Lu Bu’s shot at the halberd in the camp gate could actually be achieved. With that one proof, he directly received 50,000 yuan in rewards.
Those who really have traditional martial arts skills and are outstanding can truly make money domestically.
So, when Chen Dalong left the gymnasium, he was surrounded tightly by reporters and internet celebrities, and only with great difficulty did he get back onto the Chen Clan’s bus.
After Chen Han got on the bus, however, his attention was all on the game prompts in his mind:
【Because the Chen Clan Prodigy easily defeated the Outer Demonic Path expert, and told everyone that not just anyone is qualified to challenge the Chen Clan, the Chen Clan’s prestige spread far and wide, thwarting Skull Gate’s plot.
The Shushan Immortal Alliance’s people secretly followed the clues to locate Skull Gate’s position and drew a map.
Congratulations, you have obtained a small dungeon map: Skull Gate demon extermination quest instance map.】
Completing this task really did grant this Demon Extermination Instance Map.
Chen Han was a bit eager to try, wanting to go back to the Chen Clan’s teleportation gate and teleport to the dungeon map.
The gains from the last Green Snail Valley dungeon had made him fall in love with dungeon tasks.
No wonder that in many games, so many people insist on forming parties to run dungeons, and many players wait at the dungeon entrance every day for respawns.
On the way back to the hotel, Chen Dalong kept grinning at his phone, because the backstage kept prompting new followers, and he easily broke through one million fans.
There were even many female internet celebrities following him, including that female host with the two-ball foul.
So Brother Han had not lied to him.
Seeing this look on him, Chen Han smiled and instructed, “Stop giggling. When we get back, sign an agency contract with Xiao Yu. Later, if someone comes to you for endorsements, let Xiao Yu vet them. Do not let people fool you.”
One battle for instant fame looked just like this for Dalong.
The benefits of defeating a world fighting champion were far more than just gaining fans.
There was also an elevation in status. You could say, now Dalong was the most impressive among everyone Habak had ever faced in all types of world fighting competitions.
He was not only number one domestically, but also number one in the world.
From now on, those traditional martial arts bloggers on Douyin would have a hard time, because previously there was no precedent and many people said national martial arts were not suitable for the ring. Some who did go into the ring ended up just trading crude punches.
The ornamental value was not even as good as boxing.
That excuse no longer existed now.
Chen Dalong had already provided a template. As long as you are strong enough, two kicks to KO a world champion is no problem. It is explosive, highly watchable, and makes people’s blood boil.
If you cannot do it, it just means your strength is not enough.
The fans of these traditional martial arts bloggers would gradually tilt towards Dalong.
As long as Dalong fought a few more matches, his influence would rapidly grow, and the Chen Clan’s reputation would grow along with it.
Then there was commercial value. Even though Dalong had not yet registered as a professional, once he did, he would instantly be in the top tier. Sponsorship contracts, appearance fees, and advertisement endorsements would certainly not be lacking.
“Ah, okay, Brother Han, I will cooperate with Sister Xiao Yu.” Chen Dalong nodded immediately.
Chen Dao and Chen Linlin looked at Chen Dalong with great envy. For a young person, who would not yearn for that kind of being the focus of all?
Chen Han also noticed their expressions and said, “You two should go back to school later and have your PE teacher test your hundred-meter speed. Especially you, Chen Dao. With your current condition, as long as you combine your running technique with the 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》, breaking that Su Shen’s record should not be a problem.”
The two of them had already reached a bottleneck in their 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》 cultivation. Continuing to train, even with medicinal wine and Body Tempering Pill （good quality） as support, their progress would be limited.
Now it would either take their own breakthrough, or better medicinal wine and better Body Tempering Pills, or granting them cultivation methods and letting them train at special spiritual apertures.
Passing on cultivation arts was not being considered for now.
Chen Dao’s face lit up with joy.
That was Su Shen, the country’s number one in the hundred meters, with a best time of 83 seconds.
In that edition of the competition, if he had run that time in the final, Su Shen could have won the country’s first medal in the hundred meters.
Sadly, due to bad luck, he did not break the awkward situation of zero medals for the country in the Olympic Games hundred-meter event.
However, Chen Dao was confident he could surpass that record.
Just like the patriarch said, he only needed to combine the 《Tai Xu Chasing Wind Leg》 with running technique.
He believed that by then he too could become the focus of all like Brother Dalong.
Chen Han was, of course, looking forward to it.
One fighting genius had emerged. If two more male and female hundred-meter running geniuses emerged and won more gold medals for the country, would anyone dare say the Chen Clan Prodigy’s contribution to the nation was small?
The Chen Clan’s reputation would become more and more impressive.
The group soon arrived at the hotel, ready to pack up and return to the Chen Clan.
Chen Han also returned to his room. His belongings were mainly just a small bag containing his ID card, keys, and such.
His mobile phone ringtone sounded. It was actually that Mr. Zheng. After breakfast they had exchanged numbers, and he had not expected to be contacted so soon.
He pressed answer, and Zheng Ruixin’s voice came through. “Chen Family Head, congratulations, your Chen Clan people won beautifully.”
“Thank you, Mr. Zheng.” Chen Han replied with a smile. He did not believe this man was calling purely to congratulate him and felt the other party surely had a purpose.
Sure enough, Zheng Ruixin stated his purpose. “Chen Family Head, the main reason I called is that the Qingmin City Sports Bureau would like to talk to you about something, regarding the fighting team.”
Chen Han roughly understood and did not refuse. He smiled and said, “Mr. Zheng, have them come to the Chen Clan when they have time. Maybe besides the fighting team, there could be other surprises.”
For this man to personally make the call, the relevant people at the Sports Bureau clearly had ties with the Zheng Family.
Anyway, whether it was Dalong or Chen Dao or Chen Linlin, if they wanted to participate in national-level or even world-level competitions, they could not bypass the Qingmin City Sports Bureau.
Now that Mr. Zheng had called, it was the perfect time to talk.
“Alright, then I will trouble you, Chen Family Head.” Zheng Ruixin added another word of thanks and hung up.
After hanging up, Chen Han also smiled. With Dalong defeating Habak and becoming famous, he knew people would come knocking. Also, once Dalong entered professional competition, there was nothing better than being under official registration. He might even get professional titles.
Many people might be unfamiliar with Sports Bureau fighting teams.
But with the development of fighting sports, more and more cities were forming their own fighting teams.
Some of these fighting teams were nominally under the city sports bureaus, and some were jointly formed by sports schools and social organizations, clubs, and so on.
Many city sports bureaus would also certify fighting clubs, allowing them to form boxing teams, wushu routine teams, wushu sanda teams, and others.
The reason was that there was already a world-level World Combat Sports Games, though its influence was still low and few people paid attention.
For such a world-level event, whether for influence or other reasons, the country naturally had to participate.
So, for the world competition, the General Administration of Sport would assemble a national fighting team to compete, with events including kickboxing, sambo, wushu sanda, karate, judo, and many more categories, dozens of competition events in total.
Moreover, this year the World Combat Sports Games were being held in the country. Still, because of the low influence and few people paying attention, there was not much popularity, not even much heat on Douyin.
The main reason was the lack of strong figures. The country had only won eight medals in total.
Among male events, there were only two gold medals in fighting categories, one in wushu sanda and one in breakdancing.
Yes, breakdancing was also one of the fighting competition events.
As for why, many people were puzzled.
So, when Chen Dalong defeated the international fighting champion Habak, the Qingmin City Sports Bureau became anxious, because Habak had also participated in this World Combat Sports Games and had won four gold medals himself.
Therefore, Dalong could completely take those four gold medals too.
In fact, if the Chen Clan was willing to train a few more people, they could take as many gold medals in these events as they wanted.
By then, the Qingmin City Sports Bureau could rightfully claim that their Qingmin City was a strong city in fighting.
As Chen Han was thinking this, a game prompt suddenly appeared:
【Demonic energy suddenly approaches. This trace of scent feels somewhat familiar to you. It seems to be people from Skull Gate. For them to come at this time clearly means no good!
Please first teach these Skull Gate people a lesson!】
Chen Han was stunned.
He had just obtained the Skull Gate demon extermination quest instance map and had not yet made a move, and they had already come knocking.
What was this about?
If they were in such a hurry to die, they did not need to do it this way.
The key point was that the dungeon map had not even been activated yet. What were they here to deliver if there would be no item drop?
The next moment, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Han sighed, walked forward, and opened it, only to see the same man who had gone to the Chen Clan to issue a challenge earlier. Behind him stood a group of burly men.
“Chen Family Head, let me introduce myself. My name is Ma San. This time I really must thank you for helping us defeat that Habak.”
Seeing the door open, Ma San immediately smiled and introduced himself. Then he shifted the topic and continued, “So, we have specially come to visit you, hoping to discuss with you and explore some deeper cooperation.”
He at least understood the principle of courtesy before force.
“Come in.” Chen Han did not want to make the corridor too bloody, so he led them in with a smile and sat directly down on the sofa, also wanting to see what tricks these Skull Gate people wanted to play.
Seeing this, Ma San brought his people into the room but left two men at the door to prevent the Chen Family Head from escaping.
Inside, Ma San did not pay any attention to the box of toothpicks that had suddenly appeared in Chen Han’s hand.
Smiling, he stated his purpose. “Chen Family Head, we actually want to sign a fighting competition contract with you, to have your Chen Clan’s Chen Dalong participate once more in a match organized by our organization.”
“However, when the time comes, he must lose to the foreign fighter we arrange. After it is done, we will give you a satisfactory reward.”
Chen Han had long known what Skull Gate did. Hearing this, he understood immediately. They were manipulating fights and fixing matches.
Just think: right after Dalong had defeated Habak and his popularity was at its peak, they would arrange another well-known foreign fighter to face Dalong.
They would act as the house domestically. How many people would bet on Dalong to win then?
These Skull Gate people would have a great time harvesting leeks.
But they were treating the Chen Clan as fools. Leaving aside what would happen once this was exposed, it was completely a matter of ruining their reputation. There was no way he would agree.
Chen Han looked at Ma San mockingly. “Actually, I am very curious. What kind of confidence do you have, coming to me thinking I would agree to something like this?”
“Chen Family Head, I know the Chen Clan’s kung fu is formidable, but there is one thing you must understand. Times have changed. Sometimes, no matter how high your martial arts, it is useless.” As Ma San spoke, he drew a handgun from his waist in front of Chen Han and played with it in his hand.
Earlier it had been polite discussion. Now it was drawing a weapon to intimidate.
Courtesy before force was giving a chance.
If he did not cherish it, then it would be more than mere intimidation.
