The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

Chapter 930: Chapter 32: Known in Jianghu as the Black Lotus

This martial arts tournament is destined to be unusual.

The people Bart brought are indeed formidable.

But there are more formidable people in the Central Plains martial arts community.

Watching his subordinates being defeated one by one, Bart furrowed his brow; had he underestimated these ancients?

After all of Bart’s subordinates were defeated, Bart suddenly abandoned his original plan to take the stage.

Because the Wudang Sect Leader stood up and said these words.

"Bart, there is something I need to clarify with you. Becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch does not mean you can command all the heroes. The Alliance Leader Order indeed has a significant influence. However, every major decision made by the hierarch needs to be approved by our Elder Council. Only after our council approves can the hierarch execute major tasks. Minor matters, of course, are of no consequence." The Wudang Sect Leader spoke these words while concentrating his True Qi to avoid blushing. After all, this was his first time telling a lie.

When the Wudang Sect Leader said these words, the dense crowd below was momentarily stunned.

Is there such a regulation? Why were they not aware?

"That’s right. Bart, the members of the Elder Council are all the esteemed figures seated here." The Kunlun Sect Leader also stood up and spoke loudly.

The people below were even more bewildered.

Elder Council?

When was it established? Why wasn’t it announced?

"How come I have never heard of such regulations?" Bart asked doubtfully.

"That’s because you are uninformed." Xu Lang spoke up loudly, "The members of the Elder Council above are the towering figures of our Martial Arts World; they are highly respected and widely knowledgeable. Naturally, many important matters need to be decided by them."

Tianmiao looked at Xu Lang and smiled slightly. Xu Lang truly is the favored child of fate in this world; his intelligence and responsiveness are always unparalleled.

"You outsiders certainly haven’t heard of our Central Plains martial arts regulations."

"Precisely. Do we announce everything to outsiders?"

"Still dreaming of becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch to lead the martial arts community? Wishful thinking. Even as the hierarch, the entire world cannot be his sole domain."

...

The mocking voices from the crowd grew louder and louder; no one moved to action, but their gazes nearly burned through Bart’s group. It was remarkable how cohesive these people were at this moment, fully aware that the Wudang Sect Leader was lying, yet spoke as if it were true, and listened as if it were true.

"Having already experienced the martial arts of the Central Plains, it indeed lives up to its reputation." Despite facing such mockery, Bart’s expression remained unchanged; he cupped his hands and bowed to the people on the stage, speaking openly, "We concede defeat. I hope next time we have the opportunity to engage in friendly sparring again. Farewell."

These words, neither humble nor arrogant, neither rushed nor slow, gave the utmost praise to the martial arts of the Central Plains. Such forthrightness, in turn, silenced the mocking crowd for a moment.

Bart, with his subordinates, cupped their hands once more to the crowd, and then decisively left.

The crowd watched Bart’s group until their silhouettes completely disappeared before turning around.

"This person is a character," Xu Lang squinted slightly, speaking with admiration.

"Not simple," Shen Hanshu also nodded.

"He said so much nonsense; in essence, he concluded that your martial arts alliance hierarch has no real power, he’s disillusioned, not competing, goodbye." Tang Fengyue glanced at Xu Lang and Shen Hanshu, speaking coolly.

"Your words are indeed direct," Xu Lang couldn’t help but laugh. Bart seemed to act with openness and forthrightness, but the essence of what he meant was precisely what Tang Fengyue said. However, no doubt many were still stunned by Bart’s actions.
