Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 8 Martial Arts
Having left Longyuan Trading Company with a "huge sum of money," Ji Fuyou arrived at a Shacheng snack shop and had an epiphany.

"The world has already changed."

only……

Ordinary people's perception of the world is different from that of the rich.

Ordinary people are already struggling to survive, let alone have the time and leisure to pay attention to and understand these silent changes in the world.

Not to mention that the upper class has consciously blocked the truth about the world.

Just like him.

Previously, even when I heard terms like meditation and spiritual cultivation or professional martial arts practitioners, I only thought they were things that rich people did when they were bored, and I even regarded these two industries as a way to fleece people, and avoided them at all costs.

They were afraid of being tricked into buying cards and spending money and time.

“If you look closely, you can actually see some subtle differences.”

Ji Fuyou focused his attention, looking through the glass at the other side of the road.

A quaint, high-walled courtyard.

This is a famous ancient building on Xinghui Road, said to be 200 years old, covering an area of ​​4,000 square meters near the city center.

A few months ago, renovations began on this courtyard, and now...

The sign reads "Dengfeng Martial Arts Hall".

He took out his phone and checked carefully.

In just six months, the number of martial arts schools and training institutions in Xingguang City increased from 31 to 45.

Not much growth.

However, the newly opened martial arts schools are far superior to those martial arts training institutions that may only be two or three hundred square meters in size, regardless of their area, environment, or level.

Practice martial arts.

Things that were phased out in the last century seem to have suddenly revived and are now booming.

This does not mean that the upper echelons have relaxed their control over certain information.

This simply means that as time goes by, more and more people are entering the martial arts and spiritual power industries, their influence is expanding, and the news can no longer be concealed and has leaked out.

After having dinner, Ji Fuyou arrived at the Dengfeng Martial Arts Hall, looked around for a moment, and then went inside.

The martial arts hall is no less than 300 square meters in size, with a ceiling height of six meters. It is grand and imposing. In addition, the decoration style is antique and the floor is so clean that it reflects people's eyes. Ordinary people would be scared away by the expected high cost at a glance.

However, at this time, Ji Fuyou was carrying a huge sum of 11 yuan, and his mental state had undergone a complete change. With the confidence brought by the promising future, he was able to handle himself calmly even if he went straight into such an upscale place.

Soon, a woman in her early twenties, dressed in an elegant cheongsam, came forward: "Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"

What level is the highest-ranking professional martial artist?

Ji Fuyou did not reply, but instead asked a question.

Seeing that the girl was about to refuse, he added, "I'm talking about the martial arts level, not physical skills or martial arts."

The girl was speechless for a moment.

"Call your manager over."

Ji Fuyou didn't give her a chance to speak and gave her the order.

after all……

If he talks too much, he'll give himself away.

Who knows that a newly opened martial arts gym would actually implement a reservation system?

"Please wait a moment, sir."

The girl quickly called for help.

Another girl in a cheongsam took over her job, leading Ji Fuyou to the rest area and serving her tea and water.

She then went to the front desk and made the contact.

Before long, a man in his forties, not dressed in formal attire but with his hair neatly combed, strode over.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, sir. I am Zhou Yi, the manager of Dengfeng Xinghui Pavilion. May I ask your surname?"

"season."

Ji Fuyou continued, repeating the same approach: "I previously followed the path of a spiritual power user, but recently I've felt my progress has slowed down, so I want to focus on refining Qi into spirit."

Based on his brief conversations with Pei Zhaoye and Jiang Yubai, as well as the publicly available information he had seen, he deduced that meditation and spiritual cultivation required talent.

Those who lack talent will practice martial arts to perfect their essence and energy, and then refine their energy into spirit.

Therefore, these words had a very strong bluffing effect.

really……

Zhou Yi quickly adjusted his posture: "Mr. Ji actually possesses the talent for spiritual cultivation, truly a rare talent, one in a thousand. His progress in refining his spirit has slowed down, so focusing on martial arts is indeed a win-win situation. And Mr. Ji will certainly not be disappointed in choosing our Dengfeng Martial Arts School." One in a thousand?

Ji Fuyou's heart stirred.

This assessment...

This is not an unfounded claim.

Based on this ratio, having the talent of a spiritual being is equivalent to being admitted to one of the top three universities in the country.

"Mr. Ji, please come with me, and I will introduce you properly."

Zhou Yi led Ji Fuyou to a VIP room with better privacy.

At the same time, he operated an electronic instrument: "Every martial artist in our Dengfeng Martial Arts School is a professional martial artist. Among them, four gold medal martial artists have obtained intermediate professional titles, and the head of the school has obtained the third-level associate senior professional title."

As they spoke, figures were projected onto the screen on the wall.

It contains information, data, and honors of each martial arts master.

Two of these data points caught his attention.

One is the realm of martial arts.

One is physical fitness data.

The martial arts realm is concentrated at the Ming Jin stage, with levels ranging from beginner, minor success, major success, and perfection. Only two people possess the An Jin strength.

Excluding the curator.

Their physical attributes differed significantly.

The lowest score was only 8.1, while the highest was the curator's score, reaching 18.3.

“The teaching price of each martial arts instructor is different. You can choose an instructor without an asterisk. An instructor with an asterisk means that they are currently teaching. The more asterisks there are, the longer the queue will be.”

As Zhou Yi spoke, he added, "The headmaster is busy in seclusion trying to obtain a senior professional title, preparing to make an appearance at the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament in three months so as to promote the Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy. He won't be taking any disciples with him for the next few months."

His words seemed to carry a hint of pride.

It seems that being able to participate in the so-called "World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament" is a tremendous honor.

Although Ji Fuyou didn't know what level of fighting competition this was, he still cooperated by showing some surprise.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi introduced even more enthusiastically: "Mr. Ji has switched from cultivating the spirit to cultivating the body, and it is to quickly achieve the perfection of essence and energy, and to promote spiritual growth by refining qi into spirit. He can learn Master Huang's boxing style, which focuses on health preservation and is quite effective in nourishing the body."

"Health is important, but I also need to know how effective the Dengfeng Martial Arts Academy is in actual combat."

Ji Fuyou asked, "Among these martial artists, who is the most skilled in actual combat?"

Finally, he added, "As long as we can see the results as soon as possible."

See results as soon as possible...

It's all about quick results.

"Lu Xingchen, a martial arts master."

Zhou Yi unfolded the information of one of them.

Ji Fuyou glanced at his file.

One of the two masters of internal strength!

Moreover, compared to that gold medal martial arts master who had just entered the realm of internal strength, this martial arts master had already reached the pinnacle of internal strength.

The only weakness is his physical attributes, which are only 8.6, ranking second to last.

“This martial arts master Lu is no ordinary person.”

Zhou Yi emphasized: "He won the championship in his first freestyle fighting match in 2024, defeated Tang Long of the Thunder Hand in 2026, and then defeated all the challengers for three consecutive years, winning the title of King of Unrestricted Fighting in Dong Shenzhou. He is a successor of the Xia Clan's ancient boxing style and is known as the number one fighter of the new generation in Dong Shenzhou. His nickname is 'One Punch to Conquer the Four Seas'."

After saying that, he looked at Ji Fuyou and said, "If he hadn't been defeated by Duan Shuiliu, Li Chang'an and Fang Chehan two years ago by relying on his physical advantages, and retired from the boxing world and went into seclusion in our Xingguang City, we wouldn't have been able to invite him."

Ji Fuyou glanced at it.

One lesson costs 3000 yuan.

That's equivalent to a month's salary for an average person.

but……

Considering that he would be going to Tanxia Village to fight the spider monster in ten days at the earliest, he would make good use of these ten days for extra training and practice, which would be a good way to put his skills to good use.

"He's the one. Buy me ten lessons first, and arrange it as soon as possible."

"no problem."

Zhou Yi smiled and handed over a contract: "Master Lu is at the martial arts school right now. I'll take Mr. Ji there now."
