Extraordinary Soldier King in the City

Chapter 1778: Chapter 1776: Discussion

"Hey, are you fighting or not? If not, then step aside, don’t block the way." Chen Feng glanced at the man in white, with a hint of impatience.

The leader in white gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and looked at Chen Feng, saying, "My duty is to guard the hall’s safety. Today, my squad is completely annihilated, but as long as I’m the captain, I can’t let you pass smoothly, unless you step over my corpse!"

"Oh, interesting. It seems the Ancient Martial Arts Association often brainwashes you. However, facing strong enemies, fighting hard is the most foolish method! If I were you, I’d first think of seeking reinforcements and then fight me, rather than trying to break a stone with an egg alone with just a sword. That is extremely foolish. Don’t think your spirit is particularly noble; it’s just your self-satisfaction!"

Chen Feng coldly sneered.

"What do you mean?" The leader in white’s face changed slightly and asked.

"I’m giving you one last chance to disappear from my sight!" Chen Feng said indifferently.

"No, I want to fight you!" The leader in white gritted his teeth and said.

"Get lost!"

Chen Feng suddenly shouted fiercely.

The immense aura instantly frightened the leader in white to the core.

At this moment, all his courage disappeared, and he seemed like a lost soul, hurriedly taking his sword and moving to the side.

Chen Feng shook his head and laughed, turned, and beckoned to Mu Dongcheng, and then they continued forward.

Passing the grand door of the hall, walking inside for about a kilometer further, there’s another small door.

Of course, this is relative.

Compared to the grand door of the hall, this door might seem smaller.

However, even a person standing three meters tall wouldn’t need to bow when passing through.

"How much longer to walk?" Chen Feng turned and asked Mu Dongcheng.

"After this small door, walk a bit more, and you’ll reach the core area of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, where the power certification is completed!"

Mu Dongcheng pointed to the small door nearby, speaking familiarly.

After all, he’s been here more than once.

"Alright, let’s keep going then!"

Chen Feng nodded and then proceeded with Mu Dongcheng towards the small door.

However, as soon as they took a few steps forward.

A large group of men in white burst out from the small door.

But this time, not only men in white were there.

Leading the group were two elders in black robes.

From their attire, they looked much like the Fifth Elder Chen Feng encountered near the statue.

Perhaps they were the other two elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.

Chen Feng squinted, carefully sensing the two elders’ aura, finding their strength also at the Heaven Rank.

On their clothing’s chest, one had a three and the other a four.

These were likely their rankings.

As Chen Feng encountered the Fifth Elder near the statue earlier, his chest had a five.

Thus, these should be the Third and Fourth Elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Association.

"Who comes?" The Third Elder glared at Chen Feng and asked.

"Chen Family, Chen Feng!" Chen Feng said indifferently.

"Why cause trouble at our Ancient Martial Arts Association?" The Fourth Elder asked coldly.

"I intended to peacefully complete the power certification for my Chen Family, but unfortunately, your association’s guards underestimated me and wouldn’t let me in, forcing me to strike!"

Chen Feng said indifferently.

"Such arrogance in youngsters. Your Chen Family doesn’t qualify for Ancient Martial power certification. Our guards keeping you out has its reasons too. If any random small family or sect could enter the Ancient Martial Arts Association, wouldn’t our staff be exhausted?"

The Third Elder glared at Chen Feng, speaking coldly.

"Then I want to ask, what does the Ancient Martial Arts Association base its judgment on whether a power qualifies?"

Chen Feng squinted his eyes and asked.

"Years established, number of Earth Rank experts, and the strength of top-notch experts! These can determine if a power can be promoted to Ancient Martial power!"

The Fourth Elder said without hesitation.

"Then I would ask again, how many Earth Rank experts and how strong must top experts be to qualify as Ancient Martial power?"

Chen Feng continued to ask.

"Let me give you an example. If your Chen Family wants to advance to Ancient Martial power, you must have over 50 Earth Rank experts and at least one Heaven Rank expert to qualify!"

The Third Elder responded.

"Alright, this is from your own mouth. Then I ask, if we’ve already met these requirements, why have our eight applications been rejected? Explain further! If you give me a satisfying explanation, I’ll turn back immediately. If not, I’m sorry, but today I must stir things up at the Ancient Martial Arts Association to prove our Chen Family’s strength!"

Chen Feng spoke very boldly.

Upon hearing this.

The Third and Fourth Elder looked at each other and saw puzzlement in each other’s eyes.

Regarding Ancient Martial power qualification certification, they never get involved.

Such matters are typically handled by specialized staff.

As elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, their usual task is to train powerful fighters for the association.

Moreover, they need to cultivate themselves.

So, they generally don’t inquire about association matters.

Unless the association faces danger, they solve it upon emergence.

Just like today, Chen Feng fought from the grand door to this small door.

Seeing the association’s core ahead, they had to intervene personally.

Thus, regarding what Chen Feng said, they were clueless.

"Well... regarding your claims, neither of us is aware, but I believe the Ancient Martial Arts Association is fair and just. If your Chen Family truly has the strength and qualification, we’ll absolutely welcome you and issue an Ancient Martial Arts Association certification."

"But if you’re unqualified, our association will naturally reject you, as Ancient Martial power isn’t something any small family or sect can escalate to!"

"How about you head back today, thoroughly prepare your materials, check for any shortages, and return when ready?"

The Fourth Elder hesitated and spoke to Chen Feng.

"Indeed, many things can be resolved with peaceful discussions, no need for fighting!" The Third Elder echoed.
