Chapter 74: What About the Martial Arts Association!?

 

When Fang Yu and Yu Yueyue returned home, it was already 12:20 PM.

Wang Yan had just finished her interview and, seeing the new clothes Yu Yueyue was wearing, looked surprised and asked, “Yueyue, why did you come back wearing new clothes?”

“Do they look good?” Yu Yueyue twirled around and asked.

Wang Yan walked up to Yu Yueyue, touched the fabric of her clothes, and said, “They look good… and the craftsmanship feels excellent, the material is also high-end… How much did this outfit cost?”

Yu Yueyue’s expression changed slightly, and she was about to speak.

“The original price was five hundred, but after bargaining, it was reduced to three hundred. Quite a bargain,” Fang Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, interjected.

“Only three hundred… that really is a good deal,” Wang Yan smiled.

Yu Yueyue glanced at Fang Yu, who winked at her.

Given Wang Yan’s personality, it was better not to tell the truth.

After lunch, Fang Yu was preparing to take a nap when he received a call from Tang Mingde.

“Doctor Fang… are you free?” Tang Mingde’s tone was a bit hesitant.

“What’s the matter?” Fang Yu asked.

“…President Du of the Martial Arts Association in Jianghai City is at my house right now. He wants to… meet you,” Tang Mingde said.

Tang Mingde’s tone sounded strange, and Fang Yu frowned slightly, asking, “What does he want with me?”

“Uh…” Just as Tang Mingde was about to speak, an old man’s voice came from beside him.

“Master Tang, let me speak to him directly.”

Then, the phone was handed over to the old man.

“I am Du Yongnian, the president of the Jianghai City Martial Arts Association. Master Fang, the duel you had with Master Yang Jian at our association yesterday has already spread throughout Jiangnan…”

“What do you want from me? Just say it directly,” Fang Yu interrupted Du Yongnian impatiently.

“Hehe… here’s the thing. During the duel yesterday, according to three witnesses, Master Yang Jian had already admitted defeat, but you did not stop and continued to beat him, even crippling his cultivation. Such behavior in the martial arts world…”

“Can you get to the point?” Fang Yu interrupted Du Yongnian again.

Du Yongnian fell silent for a moment, seemingly suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice, “Master Fang, I know you are powerful. But the martial arts world has its own rules. Your actions yesterday have violated the regulations of our association, and I hope you can come to our association for arbitration.”

“Arbitration?” Fang Yu smirked coldly and said, “You’re at the Tang family, right? I’ll come over right away, and we can talk in person.”

With that, Fang Yu hung up the phone.

…

Half an hour later, Fang Yu arrived at the Tang family.

Du Yongnian was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and when he saw Fang Yu, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had heard that Fang Yu was very young, but he didn’t expect him to be this young! He looked to be only around eighteen years old.

Such a young person could easily defeat the martial arts master Yang Jian?

It was simply unbelievable!

“Doctor Fang, this is President Du,” Tang Mingde immediately stood up to introduce Fang Yu.

Fang Yu glanced at Du Yongnian indifferently.

He was a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, also known as a half-step master.

“Master Fang, your performance on the competition stage yesterday is now the talk of the entire Jiangnan martial arts community,” Du Yongnian said with a smile.

Fang Yu smiled slightly and said, “You know about my performance, yet you still want to arbitrate me?”

Du Yongnian’s expression changed slightly as he said, “Master Fang, the purpose of the martial arts association is to regulate the behavior of all martial artists, regardless of their strength! Even the revered Master Gu Rulong must abide by the rules; otherwise…”

“Otherwise what?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Seeing Fang Yu’s indifferent demeanor, Du Yongnian’s anger flared up, and he said in a deep voice, “Otherwise, you will have to accept our arbitration! Master Fang, I know you are exceptionally talented and powerful, with high aspirations.”

“But our martial arts association also has means to deal with martial artists like you who disregard the law!”

“You violated our association’s regulations in front of so many martial artists yesterday. If we do not respond, who will take our martial arts association seriously in the future?”

“Master Fang, although you will be punished for your mistake yesterday, the punishment will not be severe. At most, you will only have to stay in the heavenly prison for a month or two.”

“But if you refuse to accept arbitration… the punishment will be increased, and you may be sentenced to be imprisoned in the heavenly prison forever. Your martial arts talent is so outstanding, and your future is limitless; you surely do not want to be locked up forever, right?”

After hearing this, Fang Yu’s expression remained indifferent as he said, “In this world, there is no prison that can hold me.”

“Moreover, I believe you are not just here for the so-called regulations, right? I guess someone is putting pressure on you because I crippled Yang Jian, so I must pay the price.”

Upon hearing this, Du Yongnian’s expression changed slightly and quickly darkened.

“It seems you are determined to oppose our martial arts association?” Du Yongnian narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Fang Yu shrugged and said, “I really dislike trouble, so I never intentionally want to oppose anyone.”

“But if you insist on provoking me, then I can’t help it.”

Du Yongnian stood up, his voice cold, “Are you threatening me?”

Fang Yu looked at Du Yongnian indifferently and did not speak.

Seeing the tension between the two, Tang Mingde quickly stood up and said, “Both of you, please don’t get angry. We can still…”

Actually, before Fang Yu arrived, Tang Mingde had anticipated this outcome.

Given Fang Yu’s fearless personality, he would never accept the so-called arbitration.

But completely falling out with Du Yongnian was not a wise move!

The martial arts association represented by Du Yongnian was an extremely powerful force!

Although Fang Yu was exceptionally strong and had monstrous talent, he was still just one person.

Opposing a behemoth like the martial arts association with just one person’s strength was like a mantis trying to stop a car.

“Master Tang, I have already given Fang Yu a chance, but he rejected my goodwill, so I have no choice but to act according to the rules,” Du Yongnian said darkly.

“Oh? You want to take action against me right now?” Fang Yu looked up at Du Yongnian.

“I know I am not your opponent, so I have already notified the enforcers from the heavenly prison to come,” Du Yongnian said with a cold smile, glancing at his watch. “They should be arriving soon; prepare to face the law.”

Fang Yu stood up and walked towards Du Yongnian, calmly saying, “So before they arrive, what should I do to pass the time?”

Feeling the coldness in Fang Yu’s eyes, Du Yongnian’s expression changed dramatically!

He never expected that Fang Yu would be bold enough to want to take action against him!

“Doctor Fang, don’t be impulsive!” Tang Mingde’s expression also changed as he shouted loudly.

If Fang Yu really attacked Du Yongnian, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Du Yongnian was the president of the Jianghai City Martial Arts Association! His status was extremely high!

If Fang Yu truly attacked him, he would be offending the entire martial arts association!

But Fang Yu ignored him and quickly walked up to Du Yongnian.

“Fang Yu! Do you know who I am!? If you dare to lay a hand on me, you will not only offend me but also the Jianghai City Martial Arts Association, even the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association! At that time… pfft!” Before Du Yongnian could finish his sentence, he was struck in the abdomen by Fang Yu’s punch, spitting out a mouthful of blood and stumbling back several steps to sit down on the sofa.

Seeing this scene, Tang Mingde’s face turned pale.

This is bad!

Fang Yu actually laid hands on Du Yongnian!

“This punch is a lesson for you; in the future, it’s best to have some enforcers around you, so you don’t make me wait,” Fang Yu said.

Du Yongnian clutched his abdomen, pointing at Fang Yu with trembling fingers.

Blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn’t speak.

As the president of the Jianghai City Martial Arts Association, Du Yongnian was treated with utmost respect wherever he went; when had anyone dared to offend him? Let alone lay hands on him!

Fang Yu! Fang Yu!

Du Yongnian looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with resentment.

“Doctor Fang, you should leave quickly,” Tang Mingde hurriedly stepped forward and said with a pale face.

“No need to leave; they have already arrived,” Fang Yu said indifferently.

Two powerful auras appeared outside the Tang family’s gate.

“Your house is decorated so beautifully; it’s better not to damage it. I’ll go out and fight,” Fang Yu said, stepping towards the door.

Tang Mingde’s expression changed, unsure of what to do, and ultimately had no choice but to follow.

Fang Yu walked into the courtyard outside and saw two men dressed in pure black martial robes with stern expressions walking through the gate.

Both men were at the half-step master level, but the aura they exuded was far stronger than that of ordinary half-step masters.

One of the men held a small black bell the size of two fists.

This small bell emitted a strange, ancient aura.

A magical artifact?

Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.

“We are the enforcers from the heavenly prison. Let Fang Yu come out and face the law!” The man holding the small bell stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

“I am Fang Yu,” Fang Yu replied.

The man looked at Fang Yu, his expression unchanging, and said in a deep voice, “Fang Yu, do you intend to resist the law?”
