Chapter 408: The Lord's Order to Challenge the Master Successfully
The aura of strength is illusory. Having it or not makes a world of difference to a high-level martial artist.

At the first encounter, Tiger Warrior Gong Yewei's army was completely defeated and buried directly in the ruins.

There was a wave of exclamations all around, and no one could believe what they were seeing.

I thought they were evenly matched, and it would take three hundred rounds to decide the winner, but who would have thought...

The outcome is decided in just one round, which is too fast.

"You old sly fellow, you are so quick to see the opportunity!"

Zhou You was the only one at the scene who knew the inside story. He controlled the fist puppet to attack, and the feedback force was real.

Gongye Wei was defeated on purpose. He didn't even really put in any effort and just went along with it and was defeated.

This old guy didn't want to win at all, he didn't even want to fight, he just wanted to go through the motions.

The question is, how can he have the nerve to do this?
"Ahem, your Excellency is extremely powerful. Gongye Wei is willing to admit defeat."

Gongye Wei was helped up from the ruins. Although he was covered in dirt and looked very embarrassed, he still had the aura to match.

Zhou You narrowed his eyes. The other party was deliberately trying to be nice to him. What was his purpose?

Soon, the answer was revealed...

"Send the order from the Lord of the Mansion. The outcome of today's challenge has been decided. All families are ordered to disperse and not to continue gathering to cause trouble."

A knight came running over, waving a command flag in the air, and everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him.

This flag carries great magical power. Everyone who sees it instinctively bows their head in salute with a very solemn expression.

The Lord of the Prefecture is the real master of the prefectural city and the most supreme hereditary lord in the area.

Sucheng and Gongliangcheng are both small places, their status is like the capillaries in the human body, and they are not very important.

However, the provincial capital is different. Although it is not as good as the arteries and veins, it is also a very important transportation node.

Therefore, unlike small cities, the provincial capital is guarded by hereditary marquises.

A hereditary marquis is generally born into a noble family. After being conferred a title by a feudal lord, he is blessed with the sacred artifacts of the country and can preside over the military and civil affairs of a place, give orders to the noble families and the royal guards, and possess supreme power.

The thirteen cities under the jurisdiction of the prefectural capital, including Sucheng and Gongliangcheng, theoretically all respect this lord of the prefecture as their lord.

It can be said that in the city, the Lord of the City is the sky, the supreme sky.

No one could have imagined that a challenge exchange between warriors would alarm the Lord of the Mansion to personally intervene.

Bu Xiaolin felt hopeless. The Lord of the Mansion had spoken. No matter how much they struggled, it was useless. From this moment on, this martial arts school no longer belonged to them.

Including the gym owners in the same camp, no one took any action.

There are people in this land who dare to disobey the orders of the Lord, but they are not among them.

The Lord of the Mansion has spoken, and the Xiaolin Martial Arts School is now undoubtedly owned by Zhou You.

Victory, victory at last!
At this moment, the warriors around Zhou You all felt as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining. It was not easy at all.

Zhou You looked at the patterns on the flag, which were actually seal characters. The twisted strokes finally outlined an ancient character.

"Zhu!"

The Lord's surname is Zhu, so there is no doubt that he comes from the Zhu family.

Without the Lord's order, the end of this challenge would be far from over. Zhou You owed him a favor.

Ok?
Zhou You thought of Gongye Wei's "defeat" just now, and suddenly realized that this old guy might have expected it.

After the Fist Puppet showed up, the direction of this challenge changed.

Gong Yewei was a high-level martial artist, and although he might not be able to fight, he was definitely good at observing the wind direction. He must have guessed something, so he deliberately lost. This decision was undoubtedly cruel, and he gave up Xiaolin Martial Arts School, which regarded him as the last hope.

Suddenly, Zhou You seemed to guess the reason.

The Fist Puppet was originally a high-level martial artist and his foundation was still there. Later, he was shattered by a punch from the Wu Clan's Qiangwu, who then infused his whole body with Qiangwu's essence and manipulated him like a puppet.

The energy that drives his body is all from the qi and blood transformed from the essence of powerful martial arts, so it naturally carries a hint of powerful martial arts.

The so-called omen of strength is that high-level martial artists carry a hint of strong aura, which means there is a high chance of a breakthrough in the future.

In this way, the value of the Fist Puppet is quite great.

The situation in the city is complicated, but the position of a strong warrior is extremely important and can be said to be of great significance.

The Tiger Fist gym owners stopped making any moves and bowed to say goodbye, obviously not wanting to get involved in the matter anymore.

The expulsion of Xiaolin Martial Arts School is a foregone conclusion, and no one can stop it!

"Zhou You, you win."

Bu Xiaolin seemed to have aged by dozens of years. He turned around and knocked down the plaque of Xiaolin Martial Arts School with a punch.

He carried the plaque and left alone. The remaining martial arts hall and all the things inside now have a new owner, who is Zhou You, the winner of the challenge.

"Master..."

Bu Xiaolin left on his own initiative, and the apprentices in the martial arts school became panic-stricken for a moment. What should they do?
The apprentices who joined the martial arts school all came to learn boxing to protect themselves and to rely on a powerful backer, but now the backer has fallen.

Some older and experienced apprentices had shining eyes. The martial arts school was still a martial arts school, it just had a new name. The new owner was the even more powerful Zhou You, and he had a senior martial artist backing him up.

The new martial arts school will have a brighter future, so there's no harm in staying here!
Everyone in the world knows how to weigh the pros and cons and seek benefits and avoid harm. After a period of commotion, the martial arts hall quickly quieted down.

"Master, I want to go with you!"

Several apprentices packed their luggage and hurriedly caught up with Bu Xiaolin.

But 99% of the disciples remained where they were and had no intention of catching up, which was very embarrassing.

The scene of people leaving and the tea getting cold really happened.

After all, the nature of a martial arts school is a place where people are paid to learn boxing. Unless they are trusted disciples, most apprentices do not have a close relationship with the owner, so loyalty does not exist.

"Master, what about these people?"

Qi Qingdi looked at the disciples who stayed in the martial arts school and asked Zhou You how to deal with them.

According to his thinking, these were all Bu Xiaolin's men. Keeping them friendly would do more harm than good, so it would be better to drive them away completely.

Now that they have established a martial arts school, they should recruit students and start over again, training trustworthy disciples.

Anyway, they have a base in Zhoujia Village. If there are no students in the city, they can just go back to the village to recruit students. There are plenty of young and strong people who want to learn boxing in troubled times.

"Keep them all!"

Zhou You nodded, "It's a three-month probation period. We'll get rid of those who are just slacking off and keep the real good ones."

Since he accepted this martial arts school, he would not worry about any tricks of being loyal to his former master or pretending to be obedient. He had plenty of ways to digest all the resources of Xiaolin Martial Arts School.

These apprentices are all from good families in the city, with hundreds or even thousands of families behind them, which is of extraordinary significance.

"Also, the two disciples who had fought earlier were seriously injured, but not dead yet. They are lying in the backyard recovering from their injuries. Bu Xiaolin did not take them away."

"The bodies of the two foreign players are also lying in the corner of the courtyard. What should we do with them?"

Bu Xiaolin gave up the martial arts school and left in a panic, taking only the plaque of the martial arts school. He didn't care about anything else and left a lot of messes for Zhou You to deal with.
