Chapter 16 Concerns of All Parties

  Sun Yiming looked at Bai Shaoyang, who had fainted and fallen to the ground, his face involuntarily sinking. Just now, he had used all his strength to stop Zhang Shan, but unexpectedly, this accident occurred.

  He hastily knelt down to examine Bai Shaoyang's injuries, and after a check-up, he found that his previous punch had already shattered his dantian, rendering the head of this school completely useless.

  "Zhang Shan, fellow disciple, how dare you resort to such a vicious move!"

  As he stood up, he shouted loudly at Zhang Shan.

  "Master Sun made a mistake, right? It seems like it's Master who should be beaten up like this instead?"

  Zhang Shan said with an innocent face.

  "If you hadn't deliberately thrown him in front of me, how would I have hit him?"

  Sun Yiming drank angrily with a look of defeat and despair.

  "I had already won the game, so I was going to throw him out of the ring and end the match. Who knew the coach would attack me instead? It just so happened that he hit his own body, the real culprit is the coach, you're the one who's wrong."

  Listening to Zhang Shan's blunt denial, Sun Yiming's expression faltered, and he was choked with anger, unable to speak for a moment. His mind was racing with thoughts.

  In the past, because of Bai Shaoyang's exceptional talent, it was only natural that he would enter the Tian Xiang Sect without any surprises. Therefore, the Bai family has been highly valued by the sect in recent years.

  But now that Bai Shaoyang has fallen, there is no longer a talented martial artist among the young members of the Bai family. The decline of the family's fortunes is clear for all to see. Perhaps as early as today, someone will try to take advantage of their misfortune and come up with a plan to annex the Bai family.

  Zhang Shan, who defeated Bai Shaoyang and showed his potential as a newcomer, will definitely attract the attention of Kyoto Dojo.

  Now, even if everyone can see that he deliberately sent Bai Shaoyang to Sun Yiming's fist, as long as he insists on not admitting it, who will stand up for the White family at this time?

  At this thought, Sun Yiming's heart surged with regret. He had accepted the benefits of the White family and become enemies with Zhang Shan, what was the point of it all?

  Zhang Shan stared at him deeply and said: "I don't know if Coach Sun can announce the result of this game now?"

  Sun Yiming was caught in his gaze, and a layer of cold sweat actually seeped out on his back. He forced a smile and loudly announced that Zhang Shan had won the final victory.

  Zhang Shan glanced around, and the students below the stage, after being swept by his gaze, all subconsciously shifted their eyes away, revealing a cautious and fearful expression in their eyes.

  Zhang Shan knew that from this moment on, he was no longer the short-lived ghost who was looked down upon by others. At least on the surface, those who had previously dared to mock him would shut their mouths and never dare to speak nonsense again.

  Wu Qishun was deep in thought, while the owner of the inn, Yan Zhengying, had a pale face and looked as if she were lost in thought.

  At the same time, in a distant part of the martial arts arena, those two groups of people who had been noticed by Zhang Shan were also exchanging opinions.

  "Uncle Cai, what do you think of this person?"

  The young man in white narrowed his eyes and asked an old man beside him.

  Cai Shu pondered for a moment before saying, "At the age of sixteen, he has already advanced to the Ling Wu realm and grasped the intent of his fist. Moreover, just now when Bai Shaoyang used the Mantra of Blood Transformation, he was still able to hold on and ultimately turn defeat into victory. This person's potential should not be underestimated, and can be considered a strong opponent for Young Master."

  "Really?"

  The young master in white smiled and said, "I see that this person is unknown to the world, he must be from a humble background, what makes him think he can be my rival, Shen Tu Sheng Dong?"

  He paused for a moment, then continued: "Later, send someone to investigate this person's background and see which family he belongs to. It would be best if he could serve the Shentu family. If not, don't interfere with our affairs. Otherwise, the reputation of the Shentu family as one of the four major families in Qingyang City is not for nothing."

  Cai Shu nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Young Master Shi Dong, I'll take care of this matter."

  "Alright, we've seen everything we need to see, let's go."

  Shen Tu Sheng Dong crossed his hands behind his back and strolled outwards with a carefree air.

  A crowd of people rushed to surround him and turned out of the martial arts arena's gate.

  The other side of the martial arts arena.

  The beautiful woman with a cold face glanced at Shen Tu Sheng Dong who was leaving and let out a cold snort.

  "Fourth Uncle, what do you think of Zhang Shan?"

  She spoke to a middle-aged man beside her.

  "I'm a bit puzzled."

  The middle-aged man known as Fourth Uncle pondered for a moment and said.

  "Although he is considered strong among his peers and has good potential, how could you, an old man, fail to see through him?"

  The girl was taken aback by his words.

  "His strength is something I can estimate, but his performance just now when Bai Shaoyang erupted has left me a bit puzzled. I have the feeling that something's not quite right, as if he suddenly turned into another person. I think this kid may still be holding back."

  Fourth Uncle furrowed his brow, thought for a moment about the situation at that time, and then spoke carefully.

  "Oh? Is that so... It's enough to make you wonder if this person is really as simple as they seem."

  The girl's clear and distinct eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression: "Fourth Uncle, in your opinion, can this Zhang Shan defeat Shentu Shengdong?"

  "For now, Shentu has a 20% chance of winning against Zhangshan, considering the latter only has one layer of cultivation in Lingwu Realm while Shentu has two. Moreover, the resources available to the Shentu family are not something ordinary people can compare with."

  Fourth Uncle compared them in his heart and then shook his head and came to his own conclusion.

  "It's only natural, but if our family, the Situ's, were to give Zhang Shan strong support, what do you think would happen?" The young girl smiled lightly.

  "Are you saying... drive out the tiger and swallow the wolf?" Fourth Uncle asked with a raised eyebrow.

  "Not bad, the Shentu family has resources, but what about our Situ family? Moreover, there are still two months before the Qitian Sect's sect selection period, maybe this Zhang Shan can still improve."

  The girl's eyes showed a hint of cunning: "Besides, even if we don't succeed in the end, we can't let Shen Tusheng easily get that admission quota."

  Fourth uncle patted his palm in agreement, "Not bad, this year is different from the past. Even if there's just a glimmer of hope, we must make a full effort. And if it succeeds, heh heh."

  "It's settled then. Later, we'll go and get in touch with this Zhang Shan to see if he's interested in cooperating with us. Before that, let the family members investigate his background thoroughly." The girl said after some thought.

  "Let me investigate his background myself, time is limited, the sooner the better." Fourth Uncle said thoughtfully.

  Zhang Shan was unaware that he had already been targeted by two big guys. He now won the first place in this academic examination, and was encouraged by Supervisor Wu Qi Shun.

  Although the owner of the gallery, Yan Zhengying, was annoyed by the unexpected turn of events in this big exam, he also had to put on a show and say some painless words like continuing to work hard and striving for more.

  When everything was over and the students all dispersed, Zhang Shan was worried about Gao Peng's injury, so he went to the infirmary.

  "Perhaps it's time to pass on a message to someone within the sect."

  Wu Qishun watched him walk away, but his mind was already preoccupied with thoughts.
