Capítulo 1124: Chapter 171: Martial Arts School Accepts Disciples (Part 2)

After all, in this information age, fighting and killing are long out of fashion.

Even if some parents are willing to let their kids learn such things, why would they choose us?

The Traditional Martial Arts taught at the Sky Martial Arts Academy really have too much of a disadvantage compared to those new modern fights.

Not to mention.

The Taekwondo studio next door on the same street.

The number of students they get in a month probably matches our total for a year or two.

Such a large yard, using it to run a martial arts academy, is such a waste.

So, after a fierce argument, Xiang Hongyu finally convinced his father.

The struggling Sky Martial Arts Academy was temporarily converted into a children’s tutoring class.

Surprisingly, after his transformation, the number of students really increased day by day, soon surpassing the Taekwondo studio next door.

Seeing this situation, Mr. Xiang’s last shred of hope was completely shattered.

With a long sigh, he agreed to his son’s proposal.

Traditional Martial Arts are really not working out, Mr. Xiang’s expression at the time was quite one of utter disappointment.

But after all, it’s a small town, and no matter how good the business is, it can’t get too far.

After deducting those labor costs, the income from the children’s tutoring classes still couldn’t meet the Xiang family’s needs.

Just when the couple was figuring out how to make more money, the old man suddenly took off on a trip.

He actually managed to get a passport and left for America across the ocean, all without the couple having any clue.

The incident happened too suddenly, and Mr. Xiang’s determination was unwavering.

As his children, the couple couldn’t get their passports in time and couldn’t change his mind.

With repeated admonitions, they had no choice but to let him go to America alone.

He was away for a week.

When the old man returned, the internet was already abuzz with stories of a mysterious martial arts master WTF.

However, the couple was too busy in their daily lives to pay attention to online news.

It was their son who called them from school to ask about it that they found out.

But by the time they knew, it was already too late.

Soon after, swarms of people surrounded the martial arts academy.

Some were taking photos, others were checking in.

Many were even crying out, eager to become disciples and learn martial arts.

Xiang Hongyu was bewildered by this sudden change.

When did his old man become so impressive?

Not only did he win some world-class fighting championship, but he also attracted so many guests to the martial arts academy.

This was clearly the makings of a viral martial arts academy.

He looked suspiciously at the sign behind him.

Happy Kids English.

That’s right!

It was clearly a tutoring class, yet it was surrounded by people wanting to learn martial arts, it was really odd.

“Boss! Please open the door! We came all the way here just to witness Mr. Xiang’s Ancient Martial Arts, I have two hundred thousand followers in my livestream waiting! Don’t keep us out!”

“Master Xiang! I want to enroll my son to learn martial arts! I heard your academy is accepting students! Can we get a membership card? We’ll take a six-month card directly! Let us in, please!”

“Boss Xiang! I’m the manager of Liunian Media! I want to discuss a collaboration with you! We’ll focus on your martial arts academy to create top-tier traffic! Trust me! It’s definitely quicker money than taking in students!”

“Hey! Why are you pushing! Get back and line up! It’s first come first served! If Master Xiang wants to collaborate, it’s us at Guangyun Media first! Not your turn!”

“…”

The front of the martial arts academy was packed tightly at once.

Apart from those wanting to become disciples, there were many influencers live-streaming, all wanting to shoot videos and ride the wave of popularity.

The rest were bystanders watching the commotion and self-media personnel seeking collaboration.

Everyone was talking, turning the place into a marketplace.

Xiang Hongyu watched anxiously.

He shouted loudly a few times, but it was useless, his voice drowned out by the noisy crowd.

“Everyone, please calm down and listen to me!”

At this moment, a deep voice rose from behind the door.

As if with a megaphone, it quickly overshadowed the chaos.

Xiang Hongyu turned around in surprise, it was his father, Xiang Zhenyuan.

The old man was already at the door without anyone knowing.

He was in a pure white martial arts uniform, showing no sign of being cold even in this chill winter season.

Xiang Hongyu puzzledly looked at the “Skywalker” characters on his chest.

Really couldn’t figure out when the old man got this outfit.

“Dad, you are…”

He just wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mr. Xiang waving his hand.

Mr. Xiang, with a sharp gaze at the crowd, cupped his hands and said:

“Everyone, the Skywalker Sect is a place of martial purity, not to be disturbed, if you are not here to become disciples and learn martial arts, please leave!”

His voice resounded like a bell, and even had a bit of Inner Strength, making sure everyone could hear him clearly.

The crowd marveled at his displayed Ability, and for a while, everyone closed their mouths, not daring to speak further.

Finally, someone in the crowd regained their senses and quickly raised their hand to shout:

“Master Xiang! We are indeed here to become disciples! Can you let us in?”

“Yes, yes! I’m here to be a disciple too, I want to register my son! Master Xiang, let us in please!”

Upon hearing this, Xiang Zhenyuan steadied his hand, and said in a deep voice:

“Please wait three days to discuss the disciple matter. The Sky Martial Arts Academy has been closed for a long time and requires some preparation time, please come back after three days!”

The crowd below, though a bit disappointed, realized it was only a three-day wait.

They decided not to entangle any further, intending to pack up and leave for now.

Though they were satisfied, those who came to shoot videos and many self-media businessmen had not accomplished their goals.

These people immediately caused a slight commotion, trying to persuade Mr. Xiang to open the door and let them in.

Xiang Zhenyuan, of course, couldn’t allow such a huge crowd to rush in, and immediately declined their request.

As a result, those who hadn’t met their goals got upset.

Especially some influencers, who immediately raised their phones and started sneering sarcastically.

“Haha, everyone, come and look, this is the Sky Martial Arts Academy that’s recent hype, to be honest, it’s so overrated. Clearly says Happy Kids English on the sign, claiming to be a martial arts academy, probably all hype!”

“Folks, I came here with friendly intentions for a store visit, and the owner didn’t even let me in, said we were affecting his apprentice business, haha, must be crazy for money…

“Bros, I won’t say much else, let me show you the facade of this martial arts place! See it?! Does this look like a proper place to you!?”

“…”

The influencers spoke sarcastically, mostly questioning content.

Whether right or wrong, it didn’t matter to them, as long as their traffic was good.

Mr. Xiang’s hearing was excellent; upon hearing some of the foul words, he was furious, with half a mind to teach them a lesson.

But after thinking about it, he refrained from acting and left with a cold snort.

Just as he turned, a few big men suddenly squeezed out of the crowd.

Leading them was a muscular man in a tank top, followed by photographers with professional cameras.

“Xiang Zhenyuan! Don’t go! I’m Xu Dalin! I heard your martial arts are impressive! I’m here specifically to challenge you today!”
