After a whole night, all the major forces made every effort to investigate, but they still couldn’t find any information about John Doe, dumbfounding everyone.
“Who on earth is this John Doe?”
“Why does it look like he was born out of thin air?”
In the whole martial arts world, the only thing that everyone knew was that John Doe first appeared in Jiangjing and defeated Martial Superiors with the strength of martial arts practitioners. After that, John Doe was out of control. He fought against opponents who were stronger than him in all kinds of battles. It was a piece of cake for him to defeat people, and even many people would be beaten to death or disabled by him in the battles.
However, coupled with the various achievements, John Doe had defeated an eighth-class expert with one opened meridian in just one year. Until now, there were even rumors that John Doe was a guru!
As for whether he was a guru or not, nobody could be sure, even though they thought that the rumors were so true.
Therefore, now almost everyone wanted to know whether John Doe was a guru or not.
If it was true, he would be the first or even the youngest guru in Wulin!
Since he could become a guru at such a young age, there must be a way to quickly improve to become a guru.
It was obvious how valuable this method was if it could make young people quickly promote to be gurus!
…
After an entire night of waiting, all the people, who were looking forward to the information of John Doe’s real identity, on the Wulin online forum received the news that the major forces’ confidants had been investigating for a night but they couldn’t find anything.
Now all the people on the Wulin online forum were also nonplussed.
Before his true appearance was revealed, John Doe had already been covered in a layer of mystery.
“Now that his true face has been revealed, why is he still so mysterious?”
No one could believe it.
They were all discussing it.
In the heated discussion of the people, someone finally came up with a solution on the forum.
“I remember when John Doe was in Jiangjing City, because of the method of searching for Heaven and Earth Treasure, someone offered a challenge of 10,000,000. After the challenger was defeated, John Doe seemed to have said that the next challenge would be 20,000,000. Now John Doe has revealed his real appearance. Is there anyone who can fight with John Doe for 20,000,000? Even if we can’t find out anything about him, you have to let everyone see John Doe!”
Soon, this method earned the support of many netizens on the forum.
However, more people thought that John Doe not only had a way to find Heaven and Earth Treasures, but also could forge a treasure sword. He was simply invincible.
Since none of the major forces had a clue about John Doe’s identity, the method proposed on the forum was quickly recognized.
All the forces began to negotiate.
In the end, they expressed that they were willing to share the 20,000,000 for the challenge fee and to find someone to test John Doe’s strength and see if he was really as powerful as people said. Was he a teenage guru?
Or maybe it was fake?
Now that they had the method, the financial problem was solved. But who could they find to challenge John Doe?
Those who were too weak couldn’t stand it.
Last time, the one who had challenged John Doe was the famous Breeze Sword—Li Chengtian. He was an eighth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian. Moreover, because of his strong swordsmanship, he had been absolutely the top one among his peers.
In other words, if someone wanted to challenge John Doe and test his potential, he had to be an eighth-class Martial Superior with two opened meridians.
Where could they find such a person?
For a time, all the forces began to search.
In the end, after looking around for a while, they actually found a suitable one.
The Eight Extremes Magic Fist—Chen Yunzhu.
Chen Yunzhu ranked fifth in the top ten of the Wulin Genius List. He was 25 years old and good at using the Eight Extremes Boxing. His fighting skills were extremely fierce. He was the most powerful one among the young generation who had practiced the Eight Extremes Boxing that was spread widely.
The Eight Extremes Boxing was a short punching technique. Its movements were fierce, simple, and swift. In actual combat, it emphasized on beat inch by inch and fierce-fighting. It had the characteristic of taking, helping, squeezing, leaning, collapsing, and shaking. It had great explosive force.
There was a description of “Smash down the heaven by shaking one’s shoulder. Shake the nine states with a stamp of one’s feet”.
There was also a saying, “Tai Chi sets the world at peace, and the Eight Extremes set the heaven and earth.”
Chen Yunzhu was well-known because of his fierce fight skills among the younger generation’s martial arts geniuses. However, due to his powerful fist techniques, he was unable to restrain his strength. Hence, he was able to forge a path for himself among the younger generation. Therefore, most of the masters at the same level would definitely acknowledge him as an existence at the peak of the eighth-class Martial Superior with two meridians.
Except for the top four people on the Wulin Genius List, almost no one could suppress him.
The most important thing was that Chen Yunzhu was in the capital city!
At the moment, John Doe was also in the capital city.
After determining the right candidate, all the forces began to contact and inquire about it on the forum.
As an eighth-class Martial Superior with two opened meridians, Chen Yunzhu had also attended the auction last night. And he had already planned to fight with John Doe.
Now that everyone asked him this question, he didn’t hesitate and directly asked for a fight!
Only the forces which equally shared the fee of 20,000,000 knew of Chen Yunzhu’s request to fight.
On the forum, everyone else was still waiting for news.
After the final decision was made, all the forces didn’t hesitate and immediately asked Chen Yunzhu to issue a letter of challenge!
After a while… “John Doe, do you dare to have a fight?”
Chen Yunzhu issued a letter of challenge. In the letter, he said, “20,000,000, I want to challenge you, John Doe! I know you’re in the capital city, so am I. I’ll wait for you in the sand field of the west of the city at 10 o’clock tonight. The money has been transferred to your bank account. Do you dare to fight with me?”
The moment the letter was posted, the joint forces had transferred 20,000,000 directly to the bank account that Fang Qiu had announced last time. They also screenshot it and sent it to Chen Yunzhu, asking him to post it in the post.
Everyone on the forum was excited as they saw it.
“It’s Chen Yunzhu! I heard that he is a psycho.”
“Psycho? No matter how abnormal he is, can he be more terrifying than John Doe?”
“Perfect! Give him the money directly. It’s not good for John Doe to refuse now.”
“Haha, do you think that John Doe will be in lack of money? He has just earned a few hundred million. If he didn’t transfer the money, would he care about 20,000,000?”
“Two young geniuses, one ranked fifth on the Wulin Genius List, and the other is the universally recognized genius in today’s Wulin. The battle between the two will definitely be exciting!”
“@John Doe, come and accept the challenge!”
Everyone started to mention John Doe on the forum and excitedly kept on promoting the battle, trying to settle it as soon as possible.
After a night’s rest, Fang Qiu got up to do morning exercises. After breakfast, he logged in the Wulin online forum with his mobile phone in the morning. As a result, as soon as he logged in, he saw that people of the website had gone crazy.
Everyone was mentioning him.
After careful observation, Fang Qiu realized that someone had offered 20,000,000 to challenge him. But Fang Qiu didn’t understand.
“Where the f*ck have you been?”
“You don’t come when I am short of money. Do you have to wait until I have the money to challenge me?”
“Sorry, I don’t care about 20,000,000 anymore. Now that I have so much money, I must enjoy my life and find a place to have a good time. How do I have time to earn 20,000,000 from you?”
Three sentences in a row.
Fang Qiu posted them quickly to express his refusal.
Everyone on the Wulin forum was dumbfounded.
No one expected that the mysterious man would reply in this way, and he would actually reject the challenge.
Everyone’s dream seemed to have been extinguished by a basin of cold water.
At the same time, everyone was also angry and kept mocking John Doe.
“I thought John Doe was a man of courage. It turns out that he doesn’t even dare to accept the letter of challenge.”
“It’s so f*cking humiliating. He showed you respect, treated you as an expert, and gave you money to challenge you. Do you still f*cking look down on him?”
“In my opinion, John Doe can only show off with his arrogance.”
“It’s true. Chen Yunzhu is ranked fifth on the Wulin Genius List. John Doe must be afraid. Last time John Doe won against Breeze Sword, who was an eighth-class Martial Superior with one opened meridian, but now he dares not accept it, because it was issued by Chen Yunzhu who is an eighth-class Martial Superior with two opened meridians.”
“You don’t know that Chen Yunzhu is a martial arts madman, so he won’t be careful when he strikes. It’s normal for John Doe to be afraid of him. He just earned hundreds of millions. If he is beaten or disabled by Chen Yunzhu for 20,000,000, it won’t be worth it.”
For a moment, all kinds of ridiculing comments were heard.
It seemed that at this moment, all the people in Wulin aimed at John Doe together. Everyone was mocking John Doe as they left comments. It was the first time that they had ridiculed someone together!
The reason why everyone did this was that they wanted to force John Doe to come out and see how powerful he was. They wanted to find out if he was really a teenage guru.
When reading the ridiculing comments, Fang Qiu didn’t care at all. Instead, he watched leisurely. After watching for a few hours, he ordered a capital roast duck and asked people to send it to his room when it was almost time for lunch. He continued to read the comments while eating.
He was having a great time.
In the afternoon… Beep, beep, beep…
Fang Qiu’s cell phone suddenly rang. It was He Gaoming.
“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“Master, are you really not going to fight?”
He Gaoming’s voice came from the other end of the phone, and he said with a wry smile, “If you want to refuse him, you should at least return the 20,000,000 to him. You don’t pay back the money, and you don’t want to accept the letter of challenge. Now Wulin people are targeting you. You’re ruining your reputation. In my opinion, even if you return the money now, you still have to accept the letter of challenge. If you don’t accept it, it will provoke the public!”
“Don’t worry. I know what to do.” Fang Qiu answered and then hung up the phone directly.
He was also aware of that.
After revealing his true appearance, it was time to show his strength.
This was the reason why he had rejected Chen Yunzhu’s challenge, but did not return the money to him in the first place, nor was he in a hurry to leave the capital. Instead, he continued to stay in the hotel.
He had to accept the challenge, but he had to take the initiative himself. He couldn’t follow his opponent’s pace.
Fang Qiu had already made a plan.
After hearing Fang Qiu’s words, He Gaoming felt a little relieved.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Qiu continued to watch the forum.
It should be noted that what everyone on the forum was talking about now was all caused by him personally. He wanted to create these shenanigans.
Now that he had made money and shenanigans, John Doe’s true appearance had also been exposed successfully.
Wasn’t this the perfect plan in Fang Qiu’s mind?
No.
It was not perfect enough.
He still needed a fight!
After logging out the Wulin online forum, Fang Qiu looked out of the window. It was already night.
He immediately smiled and recalled the address of the battlefield sent by Chen Yunzhu.
“It’s time to make a move.” An idea came to Fang Qiu’s mind. He left the hotel in a flash.
What he wanted was mystery.
After he publicly refused him, fewer people would come to watch the battle. The fewer the people watched, the more mysterious he would be. Then no one would watch the battle at all. That was the real purpose of Fang Qiu’s rejection!
