Wang Yuehui had already obtained the martial arts manual for ăQingcheng Heart Methodă. He reduced his daily rest time to three hours. Whenever he left his room, as usual, he first went to the dock to check the accounts, review the dayâs shipping operations, and understand the status of missions undertaken by the Inner Disciples.
After finishing all of that and returning to the hall for a meal, he headed to the Training Grounds to cultivate.
From a distance, however, he saw the Hall Master sitting cross-legged on the steps of the hall at the Training Grounds, reading.
Yes.
Reading a book.
Wang Yuehui froze for a moment and walked over.
Halfway there, he suddenly sensed that the Hall Masterâs aura today was different from before. He slowed his steps, observing more carefully.
How should he describe it?
There seemed to be an indescribable momentum flowing around the Hall Master. The closer he got, the clearer and more intense it became.
He glanced at the Inner Disciples practicing in neat unison on the Training Grounds. Today, they were standing a bit farther away from the steps.
Carrying his doubts, Wang Yuehui approached the Hall Master. His pupils contracted.
On the martial arts manual were four bold characters:
ăWudang Sanshouă!
He had heard of it before. It seemed to be a Third-Rank martial arts manual.
The Hall Master...
In an instant, everything became clear. All his confusion was resolved.
At that moment, Su Wangchuan finished the final page of ăWudang Sanshouă. The manual scattered in the wind and vanished from his hand, transforming into data.
Third-Rank Martial Art ăWudang Sanshouă: Entry-Level (Not Activated).
âHall Master, you have broken through?â
Wang Yuehui was now completely certain. His deliberately lowered voice still carried a faint tremor of excitement.
Only then did Su Wangchuan notice Wang Yuehuiâs arrival. A faint smile appeared on his face. He did not answer immediately but rose to his feet.
âYuehui, you came at the right time. Come with me.â
Wang Yuehui followed him all the way to the courtyard of his residence.
âSit.â
Su Wangchuan gestured.
The two of them sat down facing each other.
Wang Yuehui felt slightly uncomfortable at the Hall Masterâs sudden politeness and seriousness. He vaguely sensed that something important was about to be said.
Su Wangchuan had been waiting for him.
He had already spoken with the other key figures in the hall.
Only Wang Yuehui remained.
Wang Yuehui was the first player under him to break through to become a First-Rank Martial Artist. However, his position and identity were the most delicate.
He had strength, he was meticulous, and he had a thorough grasp of the hallâs affairs. But he was from Lingji Studio.
That alone meant Wang Yuehui could never take over the hallâs affairs, nor could he be placed in one of the oil-rich positions such as branch helm leader. After all, there were dozens of members from Warring States Game Studio within the hall.
Howeverâ
The situation had changed.
Because Bai Yuhui and Hong Kaibao wanted to follow him to Sanhe Commandery, Wang Yuehui could now choose between the branch helm at the dock or the position of escort agency manager.
âAt most one month from now, I will leave Huishui County and head to the Caobang in the prefectural capital. When that time comes, the hall here will be overseen by Elder Lin XunâŠâ
âYou may choose either the dock branch helm leader position or the escort agency manager position.â
The moment these words were spoken, Wang Yuehui, like Bai Yuhui and Hong Kaibao before him, was struck speechless.
âThe Hall Master is leaving Huishui County.â
âI do not wish to remain in the Yulong GangâŠâ
After finally digesting the news, Wang Yuehui immediately cupped his fists and voiced his thoughts.
âGang Leader Yang Feiyue of the Yulong Gang can barely protect himself. It is obvious that someone is targeting the Yulong Gang. Once you leave, Hall Master, the situation in the hall will change.â
âI wish to follow you to the prefectural capital.â
Wang Yuehui knew that the true Sea-Stabilizing Pillar of Huishui County was Hall Master Su Wangchuan.
Whether it had been capturing Feng Shaoguang alive, killing the Snake Elder, or shooting down the sect master of the Earthfiend Sectâit had all been Su Wangchuan.
The hall had achieved its current prosperity because Su Wangchuan was here.
Once he left, the Huishui County hall would quickly revert to its former state.
Su Wangchuan understood Wang Yuehuiâs temperament.
In the game, Wang Yuehui sought only to preserve his life.
In his eyes, the Yulong Gang was being targeted by the Beggar Sect. It was unsafe.
He wanted out.
ââŠYou also want to leave with me?â
âBai Yuhui and Hong Kaibao want to follow me as well.â
âCaptain Zhao Heiniu and Chen Ergou will also head to the prefectural capital with me. But as of now, I still do not know what position the Caobang will arrange for me.â
âIt does not matter.â
Wang Yuehui spoke firmly.
âWith your strength, Hall Master, no matter where you go, I believe you will rise quickly. I can wait. Besides, the prefectural capital is safer than the county seat. I have long thought that in the future I should find a place to settle there⊠Now is the perfect opportunity. I will go with you.â
âVery well.â
A smile appeared on Su Wangchuanâs face.
âSince you have decided, then come with me. Once we arrive, as long as I have food to eat, I will not treat you poorly.â
Wang Yuehui was indeed a capable man.
With someone so meticulous handling certain affairs, he would be of great help.
Though that meant taking away nearly all of the hallâs core leadership, leaving only a few full-fledged martial artists for Lin XunâŠ
âThank you, Hall Master!â
After confirming Wang Yuehuiâs decision, Su Wangchuan said nothing further to anyone else about the matter. It was as though nothing had happened. He devoted himself entirely to cultivating Third-Rank martial arts.
Su Wangchuan: Male (Hunger 59/100)
(Life Profession: Blacksmith)
(Combat Profession: Second-Rank Martial Artist)
Strength 41; Attack 13â14;
Agility 42; Defense 8.2; Speed +42;
Stamina 41; HP 410/410;
Spirit 9: (Not Activated).
Free Attribute Points: 5 (Unassigned)
(Cultivation Methods Folded)
The Third-Rank martial arts he currently possessed were ăWudang Sanshouă, ăShaolin Subduing Tiger Fistă, and ăQingcheng Sword Artă. The remaining two Third-Rank martial arts had not yet been delivered by Captain Bai.
However, Captain Bai had already conveyed through Bai Yuhui that she would hand them over once he reached Sanhe Commandery. The remaining Second-Rank martial arts would also be delivered at that time.
Su Wangchuan understood Captain Baiâs efforts. She was clearly seizing the time to cultivate her techniques and push toward the Fourth Rank.
The thought of having a Fourth-Rank Martial Artist as a backer in the prefectural capital in the future left him with no objections.
In any case, he still had five martial arts to cultivate.
The First-Rank ăSnake Fistă and the Second-Rank ăSnake-Driving Staff Artă would also require time.
All five martial arts had already transformed into data and entered Entry-Level status, but their experience values could not yet be raised.
Su Wangchuan planned to begin with ăQingcheng Sword Artă.
Any Second-Rank Martial Artist needed to build up one powerful martial art as his calling cardâsomething to rely on while traversing the Jianghu and to intimidate petty criminals.
ăWudang Sanshouă and ăShaolin Subduing Tiger Fistă were both fist techniques. Using bare hands against weapons put him at a considerable disadvantage. At the very least, in terms of sharpness and attack attributes, he would already be inferior.
However, once he began cultivating, Su Wangchuan discovered that ăQingcheng Sword Artă was completely different from the ăWind-Splitting Sword Artă and ăSwift Sword Artă he had trained before.
In two wordsâ
Difficult to cultivate.
