The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 335 Boiling Martial Arts World of the Island Nation
Chapter 335: Chapter 335 Boiling Martial Arts World of the Island Nation
After the news of Watanabe Tatsuya and Harada Hisanobu’s murders spread, an even more explosive piece of news followed: Watanabe Kumakawa, the Family Head of the Watanabe clan, had died. It was important to note that Watanabe Kumakawa held significant prestige in the Island Nation’s martial arts community. If the deaths of Watanabe Tatsuya and Harada Hisanobu caused ripples in their city, the death of Watanabe Kumakawa was tantamount to a tidal wave. Suddenly, the entire martial arts world of the Island Nation was boiling with agitation.
Ye Chenfeng was in a rather good mood, strolling down the streets. He did not rush to return to Huaxia Country immediately. His trip to the Island Nation, although for reasons related to Henghui Pharmaceuticals, hadn’t resulted in an advancement in strength, but his gains were still substantial. At the very least, from now on, the Watanabe clan of the Island Nation would become his lapdog, Ye Chenfeng. All the assets registered under the Watanabe clan would become his personal possessions.
In the next two days, Watanabe Motonobu and Watanabe Ieyasu were to collate all the asset documents of the Watanabe clan and submit them for Ye Chenfeng’s review. Therefore, Ye Chenfeng was to stay in the Island Nation for another two days.
Suddenly, a group of Huaxia Country university students appeared on the street. The male students had uniform attire, all wearing Zhongshan suits, while the female students’ outfits were less uniform, with a variety of styles.
Just as Ye Chenfeng paused, a female student aged around twenty-three or twenty-four approached him. This female student had an innocent look, wearing a certain brand’s sportswear. When she reached Ye Chenfeng, a slight smile appeared on her lips, revealing two adorable dimples on her cheeks, she asked, "Are you also an exchange student? If so, come with us!"
Before Ye Chenfeng could answer, the innocent-looking female student pulled him into the crowded procession, leaving him feeling somewhat bewildered. He then asked, "Where are you all going?"
The innocent female student looked at Ye Chenfeng with a hint of suspicion and said, "No way, you don’t know where we are heading? Aren’t you an exchange student?"
Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I’m here for tourism in the Island Nation, not as an exchange student."
The innocent female student nodded and said, "It doesn’t matter, the most important thing is that we are all from Huaxia Country. Just think of it as adding to the numbers! Help bolster the morale of our people from Huaxia Country so that these Islanders don’t look down on us."
Then the innocent female student and Ye Chenfeng introduced themselves to each other. The female student was named Lin Yujia. From her, Ye Chenfeng learned what these exchange students were up to.
The whole incident started because of Ye Chenfeng. The sudden death of Watanabe Kumakawa had angered many people in the Island Nation’s martial arts community. After all, Watanabe Kumakawa was a master recognized by the Islanders, and such a figure had been killed. As a result, those who had dealings with Watanabe Kumakawa in the martial arts community began targeting the local Huaxia martial arts academies, venting their rage on Huaxia Country’s nationals.
The most well-known Huaxia martial arts academy in the city belonging to Watanabe Kumakawa was called the Guoshu Academy. The destination of these exchange students was indeed the Guoshu Academy. According to the information, some Islanders from the martial arts community planned to cause trouble at the Guoshu Academy today at noon, boasting that they would shut down all of Huaxia Country’s martial arts academies in the Island Nation.
This news immediately ignited the indignation of Huaxia Country’s exchange students. They spontaneously organized to cheer on and support Huaxia’s martial arts academies, firmly believing that Huaxia Country’s kung fu was the strongest in the world.
"Yujia, who is this student? How come I’ve never seen him before?" A tall and burly male student noticed how animatedly Ye Chenfeng and Lin Yujia were chatting and immediately approached them. His eyes filled with a touch of hostility when he looked at Ye Chenfeng.
Lin Yujia glanced at the tall and muscular male student and introduced, "His name is Ye Chenfeng. I mistook him for an exchange student and dragged him into our group. It turns out he is just touring the Island Nation. But having one more person is better, right? After all, we’re all from Huaxia Country."
Hearing Lin Yujia put it that way, the tall and muscular male student realized that Ye Chenfeng had only just met Lin Yujia, so the hostility in his eyes greatly diminished. He extended his hand to Ye Chenfeng and said, "My name is Su Qingyang, I’ve practiced kung fu for several years. You can stick with me later on. After all, who knows what those Islander bastards might do in the martial arts academy? I can definitely manage to protect one or two people."
Ye Chenfeng immediately saw that Su Qingyang fancied Lin Yujia. Responding to Su Qingyang’s prideful attitude, Ye Chenfeng just smiled placidly, shook hands with him, and said, "Then I thank you in advance."
When Su Qingyang heard Ye Chenfeng’s polite words, the smile on his face grew wider. He waved his hand and said, "We’re all from Huaxia Country. It’s our duty to look after each other. If you’re interested, I can teach you a few moves, so you won’t be bullied by anyone when you’re abroad."
Lin Yujia, seeing Su Qingyang’s increasingly arrogant demeanor, couldn’t help but frown her delicate brows and said, "Su Qingyang, can you stop showing off? Save it for when you’re in front of the Islanders; for all you know, Ye Chenfeng could take you down with just one hand!"
"Yujia, aren’t you belittling me?" Su Qingyang made a face, then patted Ye Chenfeng on the shoulder and said, "No way, brother, I must find an opportunity to have a friendly spar with you."
...
As they chatted, the group of exchange students arrived at their destination, the martial arts hall. At the moment, the entrance of the hall was packed with people, all craning their necks to look inside. After all, the space inside the martial arts hall was limited, and today, there were a vast number of people coming to join in the excitement, both Islanders and people from Huaxia Country. The entrance was blocked by several disciples of the martial arts hall.
"It seems we won’t even be able to get inside the martial arts hall today, and here I was, hoping to witness the profoundness and vastness of our Huaxia Country’s kung fu," Lin Yujia said with a pout, feeling rather helpless.
"Don’t worry, Yujia, leave this to me. I happen to know a disciple inside the martial arts hall; I’ll go have a word," Su Qingyang said as he squeezed through the crowd to the very front. After a short while, he emerged, looking quite proud of himself, "Alright, we can go in now."
Su Qingyang led Lin Yujia and Ye Chenfeng inside the martial arts hall, and the disciples who were blocking the entrance did not stop the three of them.
The inside of the martial arts hall was already filled with quite a crowd, half of them Islanders and the other half from Huaxia Country. The Islander who had come to cause trouble at the hall was named Yamamoto Kouta, who was said to possess extraordinary strength and was only second in influence to Watanabe Kumakawa in the Island Nation’s martial arts community. He also owned his own dojo in the Island Nation.
Yamamoto Kouta, a man in his thirties from the Island Nation, wore a look of disdain on his face, as if he believed himself to be invincible. Standing opposite Yamamoto Kouta was a middle-aged man from Huaxia Country, named Huo Qiming, the head of this martial arts hall.
Compared to Yamamoto Kouta’s disdainful expression, Huo Qiming was much more solemn and didn’t show any signs of underestimation.
So, the two of them stood in the center of the martial arts hall, eye to eye.
"These Islander bastards really have no shame, do they even think our Huaxia Countrymen are easy to bully? Even if we talk about the origins of martial arts, it began in our Huaxia Country! What right do Islanders have to cause trouble in our Huaxia’s dojos?"
"The martial arts community from the Island Nation is clearly in a state of desperation. They’ve always been unhappy with our Huaxia Country’s martial arts halls, and now, seizing the chance with the death of Watanabe Kumakawa, they want to vent their anger on the practitioners in our Huaxia Country’s martial arts community."
"Watanabe Kumakawa was also recognized as a master in the Island Nation! But in the end, wasn’t he killed? I bet the one who killed Watanabe Kumakawa must be from our Huaxia Country, and today, Yamamoto Kouta is simply seeking his own humiliation by coming here."
"Who cares about that? I’ve heard that Master Huo has quite high-level kung fu skills, too. I just can’t believe that with Master Huo’s strength, he wouldn’t be able to handle Yamamoto Kouta!"
...
Within the martial arts hall, a group of Huaxia Country exchange students who had arrived earliest were whispering among themselves, clearly very confident in the head of the hall, Huo Qiming.
Ye Chenfeng, however, stood calmly at his spot. After all, he had been dragged here halfway by Lin Yujia rather inexplicably. Since he was already there, he decided to stay and watch the show.
