The Path of Martial Arts Has Never Been About Barely Surviving! (Seeking Follow-ups!)

Quota Competition!

Tang Ning's words struck Lu Jue's weak spot precisely.

He looked into Tang Ning's sincere eyes, then felt the tearing pain throughout his body. Finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Okay, thank you. But I don't have money to pay you back right now. If you need anything in the future..."

"No need to worry about it!"

Tang Ning quickly interrupted, her cheeks flushing slightly. She deliberately avoided his probing gaze and found a high-sounding reason: "I... I just couldn't stand Li Zhanting's behavior for a long time. Your actions today have also helped me vent my anger!"

As she spoke, the two were very close, and a scent mixed with sweat and a faint smell of blood wafted towards her.

The smell wasn't pleasant, but it made Tang Ning's ears inexplicably hot. Her heart felt as if it were being lightly tickled by a feather. She even unconsciously closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if to engrave this wild aura into her soul.

A sense of guilty pleasure surged in her heart. She subconsciously wanted to share this triumph with her friend behind her. She quietly moved her finger behind her back, about to make a victory sign, but then remembered that her friend seemed to have already left.

"What's wrong with this girl? Didn't she say she'd guard this place and immediately help if Lu Jue met with an accident? Where did she run off to now?"

She muttered softly. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Su Li walking in with two Martial School security guards.

"After investigation, Li Zhanting, Assistant Instructor of East City Martial School in Tianhai City, has been found to have induced students to bribe, accepted bribes from students, and used prohibited drugs privately."

"According to Articles 6 and 37 of the East City Martial School regulations, Li Zhanting's position as Assistant Instructor is hereby temporarily revoked, and the case will be handed over to the Martial School Disciplinary Committee for further review!"

Su Li's clear voice spread throughout the venue, like a giant stone thrown into an already rippling lake.

The crowd erupted in an uproar!

They finally understood that Su Li's departure midway was actually to retrieve evidence and notify the security guards!

Her actions were so swift and her timing so precise, happening exactly at the moment Lu Jue won and Li Zhanting completely lost his ability to resist and public support!

Many students present turned pale, especially those who had tried their best to help Li Zhanting manipulate their classmates in order to receive further favors from him.

They thought they had latched onto a powerful backer, but they never expected this backer to fall so quickly, and even potentially implicate them!

For a moment, everyone felt in danger!

Su Li's cool gaze swept across the entire venue, taking in everyone's reactions, but she said nothing more.

Her goal was clear: to target only the main culprit, Li Zhanting. As for these students, they would naturally be dealt with according to school rules later. Not exposing them now would be even more intimidating.

Medical personnel had already administered the expensive Emergency Healing Agent. A cool, warm current instantly flowed through Lu Jue's limbs. The severe pain receded at a visible rate, his wounds began to itch and heal, and even his depleted strength was rapidly recovering.

Due to the existence of Martial Arts, the technological development in this world was very skewed.

Many high-tech items common in his previous life were nowhere to be found here. However, in the medical field related to Martial Arts and human potential, the technology had developed to an almost fantastical level.

Let alone such an expensive Emergency Healing Agent, even the most common wound-healing medicine in the market had effects on stopping bleeding and regenerating flesh that would make surgeons from his previous life gape in astonishment.

"As expected, you get what you pay for! If this continues, my injuries will be seventy percent recovered by tomorrow!" Lu Jue sighed inwardly.

Today's events were indeed a bit reckless of him.

He had thought that with the monstrous defense of the Hundred Tough Fat Armor, he could crush Li Zhanting with only a small price to pay.

But he never expected the opponent to have such a sinister hidden move.

But he absolutely did not regret it.

The path of Martial Arts has never been about merely surviving.

Since he had already completely offended Li Zhanting when he "extorted money" last time, instead of waiting to be retaliated against.

It was definitely better to choose to crush him completely once and for all after his strength was sufficient!

As for the family power behind Li Zhanting?

After this battle, even if Li Zhanting could fully recover, it was questionable whether his dantian, which had suffered several of his heavy blows, could still refine force.

The family resources that a greatly weakened Li Zhanting could mobilize would certainly be far less than when he was at his peak.

Moreover, if Li Zhanting were truly a core member of the family, he wouldn't be working as a mere Assistant Instructor at a Martial School.

"In the end, he's just a pathetic worm who's been marginalized and needs to exploit students for resources!" Lu Jue sneered inwardly, not fearing the possible retaliation too much.

The path of Martial Arts is inherently a struggle against others and against heaven. If one were to be timid and hesitant due to fear of retaliation, it would be better to go work in a factory and tighten screws early on.

At this moment, several medical personnel had skillfully bandaged Lu Jue's wounds.

The leading physician carefully checked the last bandage, then turned to Lu Jue and said in a professional and gentle tone:

"Mr. Lu, your external injuries have been treated. However, you have suffered internal organ shock and bone damage. We strongly recommend that you be transferred to Meinian Second Hospital for a week of systematic inpatient observation and treatment to ensure there are no complications."

Lu Jue's brow furrowed immediately upon hearing this. He refused without hesitation: "Thank you for your kindness, I'll just rest at the Martial School!"

The physician looked troubled. He knew that if such injuries were not properly managed, they could easily leave hidden dangers. He could only cast a pleading look at Tang Ning, who was standing nearby.

Tang Ning sighed softly.

More than anyone, she wanted Lu Jue to receive the most thorough care. But through her secret observations during this period, she had already figured out Lu Jue's personality.

This person's will was like iron. Once he made a decision, he would never change it due to others' persuasion, especially when it concerned crucial moments like the Quota Competition.

She took half a step forward, waved her hand at the physician, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Since classmate Lu insists, then let it be!"

"Anyway, the Emergency Healing Agent has already taken effect, so arrange for observation in the Rest Room at the Martial School's medical bay for now. Immediately allocate all necessary monitoring and physical therapy equipment to me, and assign a professional physician for twenty-four-hour supervision."

"Classmate Tang Ning, I appreciate your kind intentions, but dedicated supervision is truly unnecessary!"

Lu Jue raised his hand to interrupt Tang Ning, his tone firm yet polite.

He was perfectly aware of his own physical condition.

On the surface, he was covered in blood, his injuries appearing horrific, but the vast majority were superficial flesh wounds.

Furthermore, that expensive Emergency Healing Agent was extremely effective, continuously repairing damaged tissues. What truly required time for recovery was his nearly depleted stamina and the shaken Blood Essence after the intense battle. These were precisely the things that external equipment and personnel could offer the least help with, relying more on his own quiet cultivation and recovery.

"Alright."

At this moment, the two security officers had already hauled the unconscious Li Zhanting up like a dead dog.

Su Li followed behind with a blank expression, preparing to head to the Disciplinary Committee together.

As she passed Lu Jue, her steps paused slightly. "Classmate Lu Jue, will you be free later? After handing Li Zhanting over to the Disciplinary Committee, I'll come to visit."

"I'm afraid I..."

Before Lu Jue could finish, Su Li immediately added, "This isn't about a meal, it's about important business!"
