Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School-Chapter 1183 - China Martial Arts Competition

Chapter 1183: China Martial Arts Competition

After the morning exercise, her body gradually heated. Not long after, she saw a thin layer of sweat, and she became much more energetic.

A person’s body would build inertia and tolerance as they got used to it, but it would also be forgetful. For example, if they did not do the morning exercises in the martial arts school for a long time, their bodies would have to adapt again.

Fortunately, Jian Ai did not slack off during this period. She still trained as usual in the morning because she was more eager to become stronger than anyone else. Therefore, she had long decided not to slack off in martial arts!

Therefore, she was not behind at all now and could still maintain the previous training intensity.

An hour and a half later, Yang Jie looked at the sweating disciples and said, “Alright, that’s all for today’s morning exercise. Everyone, take a hot shower and gather in the restaurant. Master has something to say!”

Jian Ai was stunned for a moment. She looked at the time and saw that it was only half-past six.

Usually, training lasted from five to seven in the morning. She couldn’t help but look at Lin Yi and ask, “Is the training time shortened for winter?”

Lin Yi shook his head. “Master probably has something to say, so it ended early today.”

Jian Ai nodded in understanding and smiled. “Go and shower. See you later!”

With that, she went to the bathroom with Senior Sister Qi Wei.

After taking a hot shower, everyone changed out of their training clothes and gathered in the martial arts school’s restaurant. Breakfast was ready. Yang Jie sat at the main seat and called out to everyone, “Come, everyone, have breakfast. I’ll talk as you eat.”

When everyone heard this, they went forward and sat down. Breakfast at the martial arts school was more fixed. Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and eggs were mainly to replenish the children’s protein after training, so Yang Jie instructed the auntie who cooked to be careful with breakfast.

Everyone didn’t stand on ceremony. After sitting down, they started eating. Yang Jie looked at the disciples eating breakfast with a relieved smile, feeling very satisfied.

“Master, didn’t you have something to say? Tell us!” Ning Zexuan had always been curious about what Yang Jie wanted to say. Seeing that Yang Jie said nothing, he asked anxiously.

The others looked up at Yang Jie.

Seeing this, Yang Jie nodded gently. “Master has something to discuss with you, mainly to ask for your opinion!”

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Yang Jie explained, “The Chinese Martial Arts Administration will hold the first Chinese Martial Arts Competition this winter. The goal is to promote and pass down Chinese martial arts. An old friend of Master’s is a director of the Chinese Martial Arts Administration. He specially contacted me and told me they have established a division in Baiyun City for this competition. He wants our Longxing Martial Arts School to sign up for it!”

“I consider this friend of mine a junior brother from the same sect. He was also a disciple of Longxing Martial Arts School decades ago. Over the years, Longxing Martial Arts School is no longer as famous as before. He also knows what kind of predicament Chinese martial arts is facing in Baiyun City, so he feels that this is a wonderful opportunity to promote Longxing Martial Arts School and Chinese martial arts. As long as we get into the top three in the division, we can take part in the finals!”

“Master, this is a good thing!” Li Mobai was the first to stand up and agree. “Currently, foreign martial arts have almost corroded the martial arts market in Baiyun City. As the last pure land of Chinese martial arts in Baiyun City, Longxing Martial Arts School naturally has to promote the name of Chinese martial arts. Didn’t you persist until now for this?!”

“Master, since this competition is called the Chinese Martial Arts Competition, can we only use Chinese martial arts? Are Taekwondo, judo, karate, and so on eligible to take part?” Qi Wei couldn’t help but ask curiously.

They had to figure out the matter before deciding. If other foreign martial arts were mixed in, it would be useless in promoting Chinese martial arts.

Yang Jie couldn’t help but smile and reveal a calm expression. “They can only use Chinese martial arts. All foreign martial arts can’t take part in the competition, so I’m willing to consider it.”

“Oh, isn’t this an opportunity for our Longxing?!” Ning Zexuan was interested. “Other than our Longxing, are there any other martial arts schools in Baiyun City that teach Chinese martial arts? They’re all half-baked!”

Wu Shuo also said, “That’s right, Master. If we can win the championship in Baiyun City or even the entire country, everyone will know about our Longxing Martial Arts School and how powerful Chinese martial arts are. Many people will rekindle their interest in Chinese martial arts!”

“Master, we’re willing to take part. We’re duty bound for the martial arts school!” Ning Zexuan added.

Seeing that his disciples were so passionate, it filled Yang Jie with excitement. However, at this moment, he had to splash a bucket of cold water on them. “It’s a good thing, and it’s indeed meaningful. It might be a huge turning point for the martial arts school, but this came at the wrong time…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jie sighed deeply and looked at them. “You are the only disciples in the martial arts school. Putting aside the fact that Mobai just got into university, and it’s not a problem for Jian Ai, Si Yue, Lin Yi, and Gao Yang since they are in Year Two of Erzhong, the key is that they’re all new disciples. They’ve only practiced martial arts for less than half a year and are still building their foundations, especially Lin Yi and Gao Yang. They have not stabilized their foundations fully yet!”

“The rest of you are all Year Three students of Yizhong. Next year, you will face the college entrance examination. It’s already a form of respect for martial arts that you can take time out to come to the martial arts school every day. If you take the time to consider the competition at this juncture, I’m afraid it will delay your college entrance examination!”

This was what Yang Jie was thinking, and it was also the most difficult thing for him.

Nothing was more important than the college entrance examination. He initially wanted to hide the competition and let the children study hard. If there was a chance in the future, it would not be too late for them to sign up.

However, after thinking about it, Yang Jie decided to say it. He felt the children had the right to make their own decisions and to know about this.

At the mention of the college entrance examination, the atmosphere fell into a brief silence. Qi Wei and the rest were all Year Three students of Yizhong. They were also doing the college entrance examination soon, so they should not have any form of distractions.

However, this competition was specially organized for Chinese martial arts. It was an excellent opportunity for the martial arts school to revive. They all wanted to contribute to the school!

Everyone was conflicted, not knowing what to choose.

Looking at the children’s embarrassed expressions, Yang Jie regretted it again. He shouldn’t have said it.

Just as he was about to tell everyone to give up the competition, Jian Ai suddenly looked up at Yang Jie and said, “Master, let us, who aren’t taking the college entrance examination, go!”

Yang Jie paused and blinked at Jian Ai. “What?”
