Chapter 15: Call Me Monarch

  When Zhou Xiaoyu and He Chong returned to their dormitory, Chu Zifeng did not leave, but instead watched Lin Shaoyun practice hard at the martial arts club. If it were the old Chu Zifeng, he would not have understood anything about martial arts, and since he had been physically weak since childhood, he had never been involved in any sports-related activities. However, after three months of cultivation in the Xuantian Cave Mansion, the current Chu Zifeng could already see some of the doors to the martial way.

  All the moves performed by Lin Shaowen are martial arts routines, which are only for performance and do not have any attacking nature. If he were to use these routines against judo, I estimate that Lin Shaowen's outcome would be even more miserable than today.

  Chu Zifeng, who had been silent beside him, let out a soft sigh, but this sigh was discovered by Lin Shaojun.

  "How are you still here?" Because he was too engrossed in his practice, Lin Shaoyun didn't notice that there was another person, Chu Zifeng, in the martial arts club. Not having such observational skills is a major taboo for learning martial arts. If Chu Zifeng wanted to launch a sneak attack on Lin Shaoyun, he would probably be dead by now.

  "I think with your level of skill, you'll get badly beaten by Li Gang from earlier."

  A sentence from Chu Zifeng made Lin Shaojun very unhappy, and the cold voice said: "Hey, Chu Zifeng, you are now a member of our martial arts club. Although you've only been here for one day, you should also understand loyalty. Don't give me the idea of boosting someone else's morale and destroying the prestige of our martial arts club."

  "Oh!"

  Chu Zifeng is becoming more and more interested in Lin Shaoyun. Previously, that stubbornness that refused to back down, combined with the phrase "loyalty" now, Chu Zifeng has made up his mind to help Lin Shaoyun out. However, before doing so, Chu Zifeng must find out what Lin Shaoyun means by "loyalty" and to what extent he is willing to go.

  "Can you tell me why you joined the martial arts club?"

  Lin Shaojun stopped practicing and walked over to Chu Zifeng, sitting down beside him. He took a sip of water, seemingly lost in thought, and said: "I remember when I first entered Yan University, I wasn't very good at speaking and was bullied by my classmates every day. Also, due to my family's poor financial situation and my short stature, people looked down on me. At that time, Li Gang would often lead a group of people to cause trouble for me. One time, Li Gang brought a group of people to extort me, but fortunately, Xiao Yu happened to run into us and helped me by giving Li Gang's group 1,000 yuan. She also invited me to join the martial arts club without charging me any fees, so I agreed."

  "This is too much, Zhou Xiaoyu has become really good at playing people. He didn't even take a single cent from Lin Shaojun, but today he took 500 yuan from himself. This person is really infuriating!"

  "Is it because Zhou Xiaoyu helped you out of a difficult situation that you're willing to stay in the martial arts club?"

  "I'm a Northeasterner, I lost my mother when I was young and it was my father who raised me single-handedly. When I was very little, my father told me that we Northeasterners are all made of iron, we must remember the kindness others have shown us for a thousand years, and absolutely cannot behave like petty people. At that time, I didn't even know Xiaoyu, but she was willing to help me, and introduced her classmates and friends to me so I wouldn't spend these university years alone. So no matter what happens to Xiaoyu, I will be the first one to stand up and help her."

  Chu Zi Feng laughed and said: "It seems like Zhou Xiao Yu is really your benefactor!"

  This Lin Shaojun, with just this little benefit given to him by others, he can fight to the death for them. It's hard not to admit that people like this are indeed reassuring.

  Chu Zi Feng stood up and walked to a wooden stake, then turned his head to glance at Lin Shao Jun, with a smile on his face. He struck out with one palm, slapping the wooden stake with a loud "pa".

  Bang.

  With just one palm, Chu Zifeng suddenly turned the wooden stake into powder. This scene made Lin Shaoyun scared silly, slowly getting up, a pair of incredulous eyes staring at Chu Zifeng, asking: "You, you know martial arts?"

  "Haha, you can say that!"

  "Why did you say you wouldn't earlier? And your strength is also a bit too terrifying, just with this one palm, I estimate even Jiang Lei isn't a match for you."

  "Jiang Lei? One of the Four Princes of Yanda?"

  "Yes, he is the president of the Judo Club, but he rarely comes to school on ordinary days. It's usually that Li Gang who manages the Judo Club."

  Lin Shaoyun was overjoyed and said: "With a master like you in our martial arts club, we will surely...".

  "Hey, one thing at a time, I never thought of participating in some big martial arts competition."

  "But..."

  "No need to say anything, I'm here to study, not to play those boring games."

  "Chu Zifeng, you have such skills, it would be a pity if you don't show them off. Moreover, you are now a member of our martial arts club, you should make some contributions to our club!"

  Chu Zi Feng smiled and said, "I've said it before, I won't be participating in the Grand Martial Arts Competition. However, if you agree to one condition of mine, I can teach you that move I just used, and you'll be able to defeat all your enemies at the competition."

  "What? You're willing to teach me?" Lin Shaojun was extremely excited, if he had Chu Zifeng's skills, then he wouldn't have to worry about anyone coming to cause trouble for his martial arts school again!

  "I mean what I say."

  "What do you want me to do?"

  Chu Zi didn't waste words and said directly: "I want one thing from you."

  "Say, anything I have is yours."

  "I want your... life."

  Lin Shaoyou was taken aback, looking at Chu Zifeng's smiling face. For a moment, Lin Shaoyou couldn't see through Chu Zifeng and didn't know what kind of person he really was!

  "My life... is worthless."

  "To me, your life is a priceless treasure. Lin Shaoyun, if you are willing to entrust your life to me and do whatever I tell you to do, then I will help you transform and become a powerful martial artist."

  Lin Shaojun didn't hesitate at all, and replied: "Alright, from now on, my life is yours. Even if you tell me to kill someone, I won't bat an eyelid."

  "There's one more thing, just like you said earlier. I must be absolutely loyal because what I can give you, I can also take back with interest. Chu Zi Feng is a person who has never liked to do business at a loss."

  "No problem at all."

  Chu Zi nodded and said, "Also, about my affairs, you can't tell anyone without my consent."

  "No problem."

  "Alright, I'll teach you the first move of 'God-slaying Eight Styles' now."

  After finishing speaking, Chu Zi Feng's figure moved and in the martial arts club he performed the first move of his self-created "Assassinating God Eight Forms",

  "Assassination of the Gods Eight Forms", each form is divided into ten moves, and each move is a killing move. For ordinary people, as long as they learn one form, it's enough to become a strong martial artist.

  For a full three hours, Chu Zifeng repeated the first move of the Divine Assassination Technique several times. When he finally stopped, he asked: "Did you see it clearly?"

  At first, Lin Shaojun was dazzled and couldn't believe that there existed such a powerful martial art in the world. Every move Chu Zifeng made had an astonishing killing power, making it impossible for him to pay attention to the moves themselves, as he became deeply fascinated by the killing power. However, afterwards, Lin Shaojun gradually became familiar with every single movement of Chu Zifeng's and slowly started practicing along with him.

  Can't help but admit it, Lin Shaoyun is a martial arts prodigy. In just three hours, he has already memorized all ten moves of the "God-slaying First Loss".

  "Take a good look."

  "Alright, I'll teach you the way of luck now. As long as you practice diligently according to my method, within a month, although it's impossible to master all ten moves, with your talent, three moves will be no problem. These three moves are enough for you to make a big splash in next month's grand competition."

  Another hour passed and it was already midnight now, Chu Zifeng taught Lin Shaoyun the method of transporting Qi.

  Lin Shaojun said: "Boss, I'm now..."

  "Don't, whatever you do, don't call me 'old big brother', I don't like this title."

  "What should I call you?"

  Chu Zifeng thought for a moment, he had an old online name called "Junzhu", but that name hadn't been used in a long time. However, Chu Zifeng still quite liked that name up until now.

  "Call me monarch."

  "Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, isn't it that according to the method you taught me, I can master the first three moves within a month?"

  "There shouldn't be any problem. Alright, it's getting late now, I'll tell Zhou Xiaoyu tomorrow that I won't come to the martial arts club every day, and if there's nothing going on, you don't have to look for me either, if something happens, I'll come find you."

  Lin Shaojun nodded and said, "Okay."
