In the Yinxue Tower of Martial God Town, grandmasters from various martial arts holy lands gathered together to pay their respects to Yang Fei.

These grandmasters belonged to the martial arts lineage.

Yet in real life, their identities were all prominent figures in the business world or other circles.

In the modern commercial society, the National Arts could not provide for one's livelihood.

Each martial arts holy land had ventured into business.

With years of capital accumulation, each martial arts holy land had formed its own business conglomerate.

In this regard, the Shaolin Sect had been the most successful.

The Shaolin Group's tourism industry and film star exports had flourished everywhere, and the manufacture of Buddha beads and sandalwood was also very prosperous.

So, Zhu Guowei saw so many business moguls welcoming Yang Fei.

In fact, these business moguls were the leaders of the martial arts holy lands.

Everyone had been driven to desperation by the Sangguo warrior Chen Feng, so they had to seek help from Yang Fei.

These CEOs, though business moguls, were essentially grandmasters of martial arts.

When they greeted Yang Fei, they used Mortal World etiquette.

Yang Fei had already heard Elder Liang and Elder Qi report on Chen Feng sweeping through the entire Huaxia Martial Arts Circle.

He was not too surprised by the visit of the grandmasters from the various martial arts holy lands.

However, Yang Fei was indeed too young.

The Snake Stupefaction Heart Method had completely masked his aura of being a strong practitioner.

These martial arts grandmasters looked at the pretty boy-like Yang Fei and found it hard to believe he could sweep through the Xuan Ying Pavilion.

They also doubted his ability to face the genius Sangguo warrior Chen Feng.

Xuan Ying Pavilion had three elders present, led by Elder Cheng, followed by Elder Liang and Elder Qi.

These three elders sincerely admired Yang Fei, but the others were uncertain.

However, these grandmasters, being crafty and shrewd, did not act rashly.

Both sides exchanged glances, acted calmly, and made all the surface courtesies.

The hall of Yinxue Tower spanned over three hundred square meters, and everyone took their seats as hosts and guests.

Just as everyone was seated, Tang Diqiang, the master of Xiaoxiang Hall, stepped forward and bowed to Yang Fei.

"Alliance Hierarch, Yinxue Tower was personally founded by the Martial God back then, but sadly it was destroyed by a heavenly tribulation fire later."

"All these years, we've wanted to rebuild Yinxue Tower, but we always felt we were not qualified."

"Now that the Alliance Hierarch has successfully rebuilt it, we deeply admire your grandeur."

Yang Fei, being a smart person, could easily read the hidden meanings in Tang Diqiang's words.

He gave a cold laugh and said flatly, "Master Tang is implying that I am not qualified, right?"

Tang Diqiang hesitated in his heart, then simply gave a tacit acknowledgment.

The other dozens of grandmasters also understood Tang Diqiang's intention.

All eyes turned to Yang Fei, and the atmosphere in Yinxue Tower became tense.

In the martial arts world, literature ranks no first, and martial arts rank no second.

Words meant nothing; only strength could earn everyone's respect and recognition.

Yang Fei stood up, looking at the multitude of grandmasters present, his expression tranquil and tone calm.

"I understand what you all mean. Although I rebuilt Yinxue Tower,"

"if I am without virtue and talent, Yinxue Tower would be nothing but a hollow shell."

This statement struck a chord with the grandmasters, and they all nodded repeatedly, "Yes, the Alliance Hierarch speaks reasonably."

"Alliance Hierarch, please forgive our rudeness, but this is indeed the truth."

...

As the group discussed, Jin Buer, the master of the Liuhe Hall, stood up.

He said loudly, "Since the Alliance Hierarch does not blame us, then I, Jin Buer, would like to seek some guidance from the Alliance Hierarch."

"Let's not talk about empty words; today's martial contest for discourse will be called 'Competing for Leadership'."

"If the Alliance Hierarch defeats me, my Liuhe Hall will follow your lead."

At this, Jin Buer gave a cold laugh, looking somewhat arrogant.

"However, let's be clear, if the Alliance Hierarch cannot defeat me, Jin Buer, forget about commanding my Liuhe Hall."

Jin Buer's words were extremely bold and spirited, earning cheers from many grandmasters present.

"Good, well said, martial contest for leadership is also a grand event in the martial arts world."

"I agree with Master Jin's suggestion, count me in for competing for leadership."

"Excellent, I also wish to seek guidance from the Alliance Hierarch."

"As long as the Alliance Hierarch can defeat me, my Qixing Pavilion will pledge unwavering loyalty to Yinxue Tower, to the death!"

...

However, Elder Cheng, Elder Liang, and Elder Qi of Xuan Ying Pavilion were somewhat worried.

After all, Yang Fei's shoulder injury had not yet healed.

If he fought now, he could at best exert seventy to eighty percent of his strength.

And those grandmasters daring to challenge Yang Fei were all Energy Transformation Masters.

Many had already reached the Transforming Energy Peak and were just a step away from Core Formation to Divine Communication.

Although they ran businesses, martial arts remained their lifelong pursuit, never a day neglected.

Elder Liang respected Yang Fei and did not want him to suffer a loss.

He opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by Elder Cheng.

Elder Cheng was more lucid than Elder Liang.

At this moment, mentioning Yang Fei's injury would undoubtedly show weakness, making it even harder to win over the crowd.

Listening to the crowd's challenges, Yang Fei gave a cold laugh, his tone calm.

"In that case, I accept your challenges."

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the center of the Yinxue Tower hall.

At the same time, Yang Fei took a marker and drew a basin-sized circle on the bluestone floor.

Then, he stepped into the circle and stood tall.

The crowd watched his actions, somewhat puzzled.

The three elders of Xuan Ying Pavilion suddenly recalled the scene when Yang Fei challenged numerous Xuan Ying Pavilion experts, and all three felt a chill in their hearts.

Yang Fei said flatly, "Youth is the bane of the fist."

"I am in my prime, and fighting with you grandmasters seems disrespectful."

"Now I draw a circle as my prison and stand within it."

"Any grandmaster who can hit me or force me out of the circle will be counted as having won."

"I will no longer have the face to be your Alliance Hierarch, nor the face to rebuild Yinxue Tower."

Yang Fei's words were like a stone plunging into a calm lake, stirring up a huge commotion.

The grandmasters present were all highly respected martial heroes.

Though tempered by years and obscured brilliance, their pride had only increased with time.

Hearing Yang Fei's arrogant words, everyone exploded.

"Does this kid even know what he's saying? Outrageous!"

"Hmph, does he really think he's the Martial God? Arrogant to the extreme!"

"Too presumptuous, does he really think we are old and weak?"

...

For a while, everyone was talking, all filled with fury.

In fact, Yang Fei's statement about 'youth is the bane of the fist' was just an excuse.

Real martial arts masters, around forty years old, would not see their physical strength waning.

At this age, their Qi-Blood and Essence Qi were extremely robust, marking the peak period of their lives.

This peak state could last until they were sixty or seventy years old, only then their Qi-Blood would decline, internal organs would age, entering senescence.

This group of forty-something grandmasters had immense physical strength and Qi-Blood, and rich combat experience.

Such experts were more formidable than young men in their twenties.

Yang Fei's remark riled up over a dozen grandmasters.

He said nothing more, simply standing in the circle, waiting quietly for their challenges.

Words meant nothing; only strength and fists were real.
