Like Gu Hongtao, these old men also saw how extraordinary Wang Zhixing was.
His aura was like a ball of fire that soared into the sky. But, it was also like a lofty mountain. The intense pressure left them in awe.
At this moment, they instantly understood.
It was no wonder Gu Hongtao behaved so abnormally.
If he made connections with such a strong figure, the future development of the academy would sail smoothly.
So, they immediately bowed to Wang Zhixing, their attitudes exceptionally respectful.
Their sudden action stunned all the juniors present.
“Why aren’t you all bowing to the seniors?” Those elders rebuked seriously.
The juniors were confused, not understanding what was going on.
But, since it was an order from their elders, they had to follow it.
For a time, everyone there was bowing deeply to Wang Zhixing.
Wang Zhixing was speechless.
Wang Jiajun, on the other hand, was especially startled. He looked at his father in disbelief and couldn’t help but find him a little unfamiliar.
Even when he saw his father the last time, he had found it very strange.
He abruptly went from an old man to someone who looked almost as young as himself. Science could not explain this.
He had wanted to clarify the matter, but because of Fang Yuke’s sudden accident, he had to devote himself to his work and forgot about it.
But now…
He pondered for a moment.
“Dad, they…” Wang Jiajun began in confusion.
Wang Zhixing spread his hands helplessly. “Don’t ask me, I don’t know either. Maybe it’s the unique customs here!”
“…”
After everyone paid their respects, Gu Hongtao said tearfully, “Senior, the banquet is being prepared. Please stay.”
As he spoke, he kowtowed several more times.
The pebbles below him had been crushed, and there was even a pit that formed.
Gu Hongtao’s head struck the ground each time he kowtowed.
He clearly wanted Wang Zhixing and his son to stay.
In order to stop Gu Hongtao from continuing to hurt himself, Wang Zhixing could not stand it anymore.
He sighed and walked forward slowly, then gently helped Gu Hongtao up.
Actually, Gu Hongtao did not want to get up. However, in Wang Zhixing’s hands, he could not do anything. This Great Grandmaster was no different from a child.
Just like that, Gu Hongtao stood up.
Wang Zhixing was worried that he would suddenly drop to his knees again, so he used a bit of strength to hold him firmly.
Feeling the terrifying force on his arm, Gu Hongtao was as obedient as a kitten. But, at the same time, he was highly excited.
He had personally experienced the power of a master who was above the Transcendent realm.
There was a moment of silence.
“Son! I think we should stay!” Wang Zhixing suddenly said.
The old man beside him was too extreme, and Wang Zhixing was also afraid.
Wang Jiajun looked troubled.
“You know the nature of my work, Dad.”
“It’s okay, you can just have the cake then.”
“…”
“It’s alright. Just listen to Dad this time.”
“Fine!” Although Wang Jiajun was unwilling, he still agreed.
Gu Hongtao was overjoyed. He was a thousand times happier than when he broke through to the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm.
“Senior, Young Master Wang, shall we take a seat in the main hall?” Gu Hongtao asked respectfully.
“Mm!” Wang Zhixing nodded.
Just like that, escorted by the crowd, Wang Zhixing and his son arrived at the main hall.
In the lounge of the main hall, there was now a round table. The table was covered with a festive red cloth, and there were already some fruit platters on it. The fruits were the best and most expensive ones. There were even a few that they had never seen before.
At the same time.
In the academy’s guest room area, a group was training.
They were from the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy, and they were preparing for tomorrow’s match.
Inside a rather large room, several elders wore severe expressions on their faces. The atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.
The quiet atmosphere broke. The elder with a slit in the eyebrow clenched his fist and snarled, “This old man must be using the police to give us an opening gambit.”
The more he thought about the scene of Gu Hongtao breaking the table a few minutes ago, the angrier he got.
“Second Brother, don’t think too much,” said the current Sect Master of the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy. He could also be considered the dean.
Hu Guangyi said, “Gu Hongtao has reached the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm, but his students are nothing.”
“We just need to defeat them in tomorrow’s tournament, and it will be almost impossible for them to develop further. ”
“Big Brother is right.”
“Second Brother, calm down. Take a nap, and it’ll all be over.”
The person who spoke was an old man with a single eye patch.
The three of them were biological brothers.
With their hard work, the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy became more prosperous by the day.
In the past few years, they had started to challenge the various martial arts academies in the north. They had won every single battle.
This time, they had come to challenge the long-standing Flag Mountain Martial Arts Academy.
If they were to win, their reputation would skyrocket.
For this, they had actively prepared for tomorrow’s battle.
After the two brothers spoke, the old man with the brow slit also felt a bit better.
At this moment, they could hear footsteps outside the door.
A middle-aged man came to the door and said anxiously, “Dad, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, something big has happened.”
The three people in the room frowned.
Hu Guangyi said calmly, “Youcai, don’t be anxious. Speak slowly!”
Hu Youcai gulped and said, “I just heard that a senior above the Transcendent realm from the Gu Family has arrived. They’re preparing a banquet for this senior.”
When the three heard this, their expressions changed abruptly.
They all knew what being above the Transcendent realm meant. IT was not an exaggeration to say that they stood at the peak of martial arts.
Ever since the beginning of martial arts, anyone who could reach the Transcendent realm was a legend.
However, in the modern era, due to the rapid development of technology, martial arts have diminished. It was even mistakenly used as a way to nourish one’s health.
No one knew how glorious martial arts used to be.
Although martial arts was gradually forgotten, unrecognized, and disrespected by people, those renowned wrestling masters and boxing champions all had martial arts backgrounds.
Suddenly, an expert above the Transcendent realm had appeared.
Hu Guangyi and the others naturally wanted to pay their respects.
…
It was busy in the main hall.
Wang Zhixing and his son were waiting in a room in the main hall.
In the spacious room, Wang Zhixing was lying helplessly on a recliner.
Those elders fought to serve him tea and water, massaging his shoulders and back. It was simply the treatment meant for an emperor.
Wang Jiajun, on the other hand, sat on the stool with a straight face, sighing and shaking his head from time to time.
“Young Master Wang, please just have a sip!” Gu Hongtao brought a cup of hot tea with a respectful attitude.
Wang Jiajun decisively refused. “Director Gu, I’m a public servant. I belong to an organization and there are rules to be followed. Please understand.”
Gu Hongtao smiled awkwardly. “Young Master Wang, I’m just offering you a cup of tea. It’s not against the rules, is it!”
“Even if it’s not, I can’t drink it.” Wang Jiajun’s attitude was firm. “Take it away!”
Gu Hongtao thought for a moment and said, “Then I’ll get you a cup of water. Will that do?”
“I’m not thirsty now.”
“Then what would you like, Young Master?” Gu Hongtao asked with a smile.
“I want to leave,” Wang Jiajun answered directly.
He only agreed to stay because of his father. Otherwise, he would not stay even a second longer.
Gu Hongtao lowered his head and smiled awkwardly.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
“Great-grandfather, the people from the Crimson Summit Martial Arts Academy are here.”
