Chapter 182 Martial Arts Academy
The next day, Zhou Yongcheng arrived at the World of Martial Arts, took out several thousand kilograms of gold from his spatial storage, and then called Ai Jiangquan, asking him to come to the hotel.
When Ai Jiangquan saw the thousands of kilograms of gold, he knew that Zhou Yongcheng was definitely not a simple man.
Upon seeing the gold, the two went directly to the relevant department to transfer the ownership. Since Zhou Yongcheng was not from this world, he used a little trick to deceive them.
With the house in hand, Ai Jiangquan also called in several vehicles to transport all the gold back home.
Upon arriving at the courtyard house, Zhou Yongcheng looked around. Since he was going to open a martial arts school, the interior couldn't be arranged according to the layout of a house; it had to be arranged according to the layout of a martial arts school.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yongcheng enveloped the entire courtyard with a protective barrier, preventing outsiders from seeing what was inside. From the outside, the interior remained exactly as it had been.
With another wave of his hand, the entire courtyard was completely transformed, turning from a dilapidated courtyard into a spacious training ground.
Entering through the main gate, there is a spacious playground with two rows of houses on the left and right sides, where people can rest.
There is a large house in the middle, which can be used to teach people cultivation. There is a small courtyard in the back, which is where Zhou Yongcheng stays and can also be used to entertain guests.
Zhou Yongcheng usually lived in the house at the very back of the courtyard. On the left and right sides were cultivation rooms, where Zhou Yongcheng had placed restrictions. The rooms were not only spacious but also had very rich energy.
After arranging all this, Zhou Yongcheng began to think about how to recruit students. He certainly couldn't recruit students randomly. This world is a chaotic world, and many people have a lot of bad karma, which means there are many evil people.
Wherever Zhou Yongcheng looked, he could see people with some fighting skills bullying others and acting as henchmen for the rich and powerful. There were very few people with good deeds on their hands.
To prevent people from frequently disturbing the martial arts school, Zhou Yongcheng added another function to the restrictions, making it impossible for people with bad karma to see the school.
There are many martial arts schools in the capital. If they find out there's a new martial arts school here, they'll definitely send people to cause trouble.
Although Zhou Yongcheng is not afraid of trouble, he is afraid of being disturbed by people. He can't possibly wipe them all out.
It's possible, but unnecessary. They're just ordinary people; we should just leave them alone.
Only those with merit can see the martial arts school, and only those with merit can enter; others cannot see it or enter.
Anyone who can enter, regardless of their aptitude, can practice Zhou Yongcheng's version of the strongest Chinese martial art.
After doing all this, Zhou Yongcheng removed the outer barriers of the courtyard, allowing those who had performed meritorious deeds to see the martial arts school.
When Zhou Yongcheng removed the restraints, the plaque above the courtyard gate read "First National Martial Arts Academy".
Then, returning to the mysterious space, the time flow rate of the martial arts world was increased by about two hundred times. This speed was neither too fast nor too slow. The time flow rate of the Investiture of the Gods world was increased by five hundred times, while the time flow rate of other worlds remained unchanged.
Back in the world of Chinese martial arts, Zhou Yongcheng spends his days studying various Taoist classics.
Besides reading Taoist classics, he is also studying other classics, such as Buddhist and Confucian books.
In the evenings, they would go to the world of Investiture of the Gods to comprehend the laws and improve their cultivation.
Several days passed in the martial arts world. Large numbers of people often walked past the martial arts hall, but no one went in. Even if someone saw them, they did not enter.
Zhou Yongcheng didn't care about any of that. He was just playing around in this world. Since he wasn't going to join the martial arts school, it meant he wasn't destined for it.
That day, Zhou Yongcheng brewed a pot of tea with a few tea leaves from the Wudao tea plantation and took out a book to study.
His cultivation had reached the late stage of the Hunyuan Daluo realm, so the Enlightenment Tea leaves were no longer useful to him; he could only use them as ordinary tea leaves to brew tea.
Around noon, a man in his thirties walked down the street and saw the First Martial Arts Hall.
He sensed something inside that was drawing him in. Since it was a martial arts school, he went straight in. To outsiders, the middle-aged man appeared to have entered an ordinary house, with nothing particularly unusual about it.
The middle-aged man walked into the martial arts hall and looked around. The space inside was quite large, but it seemed to be empty.
Just then, a voice echoed in his mind, "If you wish to learn traditional Chinese martial arts, you may go inside."
The middle-aged man looked closely inside and indeed there was another courtyard.
The middle-aged man walked in while looking around, passing through the middle house and entering the inner courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, he saw a man in a white Taoist robe looking him over in the pavilion.
"Are you the owner?" The middle-aged man looked Zhou Yongcheng up and down. Zhou Yongcheng was casually lying on a recliner, holding an old book in his hand. There was a table next to him with a pot of tea on it.
"Yes, I am Zhou Yongcheng, the head of the First Martial Arts Academy. Are you here to learn martial arts?" Zhou Yongcheng asked, knowing full well what was going on.
"Yes, Master, my name is Zhang Chunqiang, I am thirty-three years old. I want to learn Chinese martial arts, but when I went to other martial arts schools, they all said that I was too old to learn Chinese martial arts, so I wanted to come in and ask."
“You can come here regardless of age. It’s fate that you’re here. Since you want to learn martial arts, stay and learn,” Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile.
Zhang Chunqiang was very happy to hear this. "Thank you very much, Master. May I ask how much the tuition fee is?"
"Keep that little bit of money for yourself. Before I teach you martial arts, I need to tell you a few things. There are no other requirements for learning my martial arts, only one: after you have mastered it, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you kill someone who has accumulated merit, no matter how high your martial arts level is, you will lose your cultivation. If the person you kill has immeasurable merit, you will lose all your cultivation and may even shorten your lifespan. You must remember this."
Zhang Chunqiang was delighted to hear that it was free, but he was somewhat skeptical of what Zhou Yongcheng said next, so he asked, "Master, is this how it is for everyone who studies Chinese martial arts?"
"No, this only happens when you learn martial arts from me. Do you still want to learn?"
Zhou Yongcheng looked at Zhang Chunqiang with a smile.
Zhou Yongcheng knew everything about Zhang Chunqiang. Zhang Chunqiang was burdened with a blood feud; his wife had been murdered and his family property had been seized. He had come to the capital to appeal to the emperor, but after arriving, he discovered that it would be very difficult to do so.
So he wanted to learn martial arts in the capital, hoping to return and take revenge after mastering the skills, because the people who killed his wife and daughters were no ordinary people; they were very strong and could punch a hole in a wall with a single punch.
Zhang Chunqiang hesitated for a moment and asked, "How can we tell if the other party has accumulated merit?"
"Is that even a question?" Zhou Yongcheng was speechless.
Whether someone has accumulated merit can be judged by their conduct. Of course, it's possible that some may appear amiable on the surface but are actually ruthless killers in secret. In that case, you'll have to investigate and discern for yourself.
Zhang Chunqiang was taken aback. Indeed, there was no need to ask. As long as he knew that the other party had killed people indiscriminately, he would definitely not have any merit on his hands. Such a person could definitely be killed.
"I want to learn traditional Chinese martial arts," Zhang Chunqiang said resolutely.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yongcheng sent a beam of divine light into Zhang Chunqiang's mind, containing a relatively complete cultivation technique.
Zhang Chunqiang could only see the cultivation method for the Body Tempering Realm; he couldn't see the later stages. The method would only be unlocked when he entered the corresponding realm.
