Chapter 391: Shocked by Industry Ban
"Li Hao, you are such a mess...tsk tsk"

Zhou You usually doesn't say anything, but now he can't help but want to complain.

He and Li Hao had been exchanging letters all along, and he thought the other was doing well.

Who would have thought that when we met again, there would be so much to say!

Li Hao has reached the 7th stage of Qi and Blood, which is considered the latter stage of Qi and Blood, and his strength is not bad.

Judging from the movement of his muscles when he was walking, there were very faint traces of the Subduing Tiger Fist, and it was obvious that he had switched to practicing other styles of boxing.

If he were still in Gongliang City, he would at least be considered a master. However, this is the provincial capital, and anyone below the level of martial arts master does not count.

Zhou You originally wanted to pay a visit, but he ran into Li Hao halfway. He found that the two companions of Li Hao were just idle street boys, and they didn't look very successful.

"Zhou You, you didn't even tell me you were here."

Li Hao grabbed his hands and said, "Come on, I'll treat you, Liufang Garden."

"I don't drink flower wine."

Zhou You decisively refused. He and Zhang Huaimin had been to that place before. The air was filled with the scent of cosmetics and was not fresh enough.

"."

Li Hao looked at him in confusion, "How do you know that Liufang Garden is a place for drinking wine?"

"Ahem, I heard it occasionally."

Zhou You said with a straight face, "That's not the point. The point is why you have nothing to do and don't practice boxing or do things at home."

Li Hao smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to explain. Let's just find a place and have a drink while talking."

It can be seen that Li Hao is also very depressed.

The two boxing buddies met again in a different place, picked a clean pub at random, and started chatting over a glass of wine.

It turned out that after Li Hao moved to the provincial capital and lived with his uncle, his life was relatively stable.

His uncle was very good to him, and his peers in the family were not bad either, and they took great care of Li Hao.

However, the circle of his peers in the capital was very exclusive, and Li Haorong could not join in. After several setbacks, he became discouraged.

"Don't underestimate them because they are street thugs. They are simple-minded and don't have many tricks. There are eight or nine hooks hidden in every word they say. If you are not careful, they will trick you into leaving nothing behind."

Li Hao took a big gulp of wine, "Zhou You, I finally understand how people feel when they leave their hometown."

His qualifications were above average, and he stood out among ordinary warriors, but in the city where there were so many talented people and geniuses, he was not outstanding enough. In addition, he had no family background and came from another place.

But the second generation in his uncle's circle are either rich or noble, and they all look down on him and refuse to play with him.

He wanted to expand the martial arts circle but had no way to do so. In the end, he had to make friends with two street thugs and go out for a walk to relieve his boredom.

"So you wrote to me without mentioning any of these things!"

Zhou You patted his shoulder and said, "You really don't treat me as a friend."

"It's just a trivial matter. There's no need to waste paper and ink. By the way, I want to congratulate you in person on your breakthrough to martial arts master."

Li Hao gave some advice, "You must establish a career in the city. Without a career, you can't have a family. There are so many martial artists in the city. Only by opening a martial arts school can you survive."

"Zhou You, if you want to open a martial arts school, I will come to help you without hesitation."

Then, Zhou You asked him about the inside story of the three guarantees and the seven tests.

"Forget about the three parties' joint guarantee. This is like opening a backdoor for their own people. Who would be willing to guarantee you if they are not related to you?"

Li Hao pointed his finger and analyzed, "Last month, someone did obtain the qualification through the joint guarantee of three companies, but look at his family background." Kongming Quan asked Shang Lutong one by one. The three martial arts schools that guaranteed him were Tiezhang Martial Arts School, Bafang Martial Arts School and Jingui Martial Arts School.

Well, the owner of the Iron Palm Martial Arts School is a sworn brother of Shang Lutong's father. When the owner married his daughter to a wealthy family, the dowry was not enough, so old Shang sold his property and helped out. They are close brothers.

Bafang Martial Arts School still owes Shang Lutong's family fifty years of rent!
That’s right, the Shang Lutong family is a deep-rooted indigenous family in the capital city. They have a strong fortune and own real estate and shops covering dozens of streets.

As for the Golden Turtle Martial Arts School...

When Pei Li passed the seven levels, he owed a favor to Shang Lutong at one of the levels. This time he was returning the favor.

This cannot be replicated!

Zhou You shook his head. "Please explain the seven levels in detail."

"Well, although it is difficult to pass the seven levels, some people have passed it..."

Li Hao paused and explained, "One has to pass seven levels to be qualified to open a martial arts school, but in fact, the only one who successfully opened a martial arts school is Pei Li."

"You want to open a martial arts school with an admission ticket, but you need land, money, and people. Without local support in the capital, it's impossible to do it."

“There was a martial artist who was very powerful. After he cleared the seven levels, he ended up offending everyone. He couldn’t rent land or recruit disciples. In the end, he had no choice but to leave the city in dismay. His whereabouts are unknown.

Zhou You rubbed his forehead. Was it the same old social etiquette again?

"Well, is there a..."

Before the word "headmaster" appeared, two rogue young men who had just left came in hurriedly, one holding a jar of wine and the other carrying a roast chicken.

They had just been sent by Li Hao to add more wine and food. When they came back, they looked hurried, as if they had found out something.

"Brother Li, this master is Zhou You from Gongliang City, right?"

Zhou You frowned. Did you eat the three words "Flying Tiger"?
It seems that it is really difficult to survive in the provincial capital. The nickname that I made famous locally cannot be carried over. I have to start all over again if I want to become famous.

The two rogue teenagers were roaming the streets, well-informed, and they immediately told a story.

"I heard that there are rumors that there is a martial artist named Zhou You from Gongliang City who is an abandoned disciple of the branch martial arts school of Dayin Mountain. The martial arts school in the city with the background of Dayin Mountain has already announced that all his opportunities for escape will be cut off."

Snapped!
Li Hao slapped the table, "Oops! How could I have forgotten about this!"

"Zhou You, half of the martial arts schools in our city belong to Wanxiu Mountain and the other half to Dayin Mountain. You shouldn't have torn your face with Wang Lao Hu in the first place. Now it's bad."

The two rogue teenagers were very loyal. They secretly found out the news and told Li Hao and Zhou You immediately.

The factions' xenophobia is fully demonstrated in this regard.

"In general, is there any precedent for being ostracized? What is the outcome?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and pointed in the direction of Qianmian Hall, "They are all on the bounty list!"

The fate of warriors who were excluded by the mainstream martial arts was undoubtedly miserable. They had almost nowhere to hide in the city, and could not do legitimate work, so they had to rob and plunder and become evil warriors.

His final fate was to be put on the wanted list by the Thousand Faces Hall and become the prey of all warriors.

"Zhou You, I'll go back and ask Uncle Shi for mercy and see if I can use Wan Xiushan's connections to settle this matter."

The more Li Hao spoke, the weaker his voice became, and it was obvious that he was unsure.

During the time he lived in the capital, he also saw clearly the interest relationship. His uncle's family took good care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, but they were not responsible for his prospects and future. He had to work hard for everything on his own.

Not to mention Zhou You, even if Li Hao offended Dayin Mountain, he might not be able to use Wan Xiushan's connections.

"Don't bother, I have a way. Can you tell me the details of the seven levels first? I can set the goal of passing the challenge..."
