Thinking about all this.
Teng Qingshan made up his mind.
Starting tomorrow, he would officially establish the Xingyi Sect!
He would restore the Xingyi Fist lineage to its former glory!
He would give people the ability to fight back against the Monsters that would appear before long!
Fortunately, after undergoing the Virus's trials, people's physical constitutions had already improved greatly.
With the government secretly guiding things, the trend of martial arts training among the public had gradually taken shape.
Teng Qingshan knew this was the perfect time to establish the Xingyi Sect, even if there wasn't much time left.
But it was better than doing nothing.
"Hong," Teng Qingshan suddenly said.
"Master?" Hong was still watching TV. Hearing Teng Qingshan call him, he looked over in confusion.
"I've made up my mind. Tomorrow, I'll officially start establishing the Xingyi Sect and recruit disciples far and wide. I'll leave the tasks of finding a location and registering the sect to you, my eldest disciple."
"Hm?" Hong was even more confused, but he soon understood his master's good intentions. "Don't worry, Master. Leave it to me."
Hong was highly capable. Registering and establishing a martial arts hall was a minor matter to him.
"Good. You can hire some professionals to help you, but don't slack off on your training."
"I understand, Master. This won't be difficult, and I won't slack off on my training. I'll head back now and start making preparations." Hong was a man of action. As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and began making preparations.
Seeing this, Teng Qingshan didn't try to stop him. He saw Hong to the door, then returned inside.
"Qingshan, you're still under twenty. Can you really manage to establish the Xingyi Sect?" Although Elder Teng trusted his grandson's talent and strength, this was no small undertaking.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. It's nothing major, and it'll be easy to take care of. I've had a lot of new insights into Xingyi Fist lately, so I can teach them to others. Those who come to learn can build their strength, develop healthy bodies, and gain the ability to fight back when faced with danger."
"If that's the case, then go ahead." The old man could tell Teng Qingshan wasn't joking. And Hong's background was mysterious, too. Perhaps they really could make this work.
In recent days, Elder Teng had gained a great deal from Teng Qingshan's casual guidance while practicing his punches. His body and spirits had grown better day by day.
After returning home, Hong immediately began looking online for information on how to register a martial arts hall.
Once he had figured out the entire process, Hong posted recruitment notices online and picked out several suitable locations.
Hong still had tens of millions of US dollars and several million Huaxia Currency on hand.
That was more than enough to establish the Xingyi Sect.
After making these preparations,
Hong finally went to rest.
The next day.
Hong got up at five. After completing his morning practice of Genetic Origin Energy and spending more than two hours practicing the fist and spear techniques Teng Qingshan had taught him, he got in his car and headed into the city to begin working on the Xingyi Sect.
Over the next few days,
Hong stayed busy with this matter.
Finally,
five days later,
beside White Horse Lake in Yi'an District,
a three-story martial arts hall covering more than a thousand square meters opened its doors.
With plenty of money behind them, many troublesome procedures were simplified, and all the paperwork for the martial arts hall was completed in just a few days.
The hall was close to the residential complex where Teng Qingshan lived, only two kilometers away.
Looking at the three boldly written characters "Xingyi Sect" above the door,
Teng Qingshan felt as if he could once again see the sect standing tall on the Nine Provinces Continent.
"Master, we've got the basic framework of the Xingyi Sect in place." Hong came out from inside, where he had been directing the workers, and said with a smile.
"Good. You've done well." Teng Qingshan nodded in satisfaction.
"Master, come inside and have a look. There are still quite a few details that need your approval."
Inside,
the Xingyi Sect had a classical ink-wash painting style.
At the front of the first floor was the reception desk, where prospective students could sign up. The rear area was for regular students to practice martial arts.
The first-floor hall was spacious. In the center stood a platform where students could spar when they got carried away practicing.
The second floor was for elite students, as well as for Hong and the other members of the management team to work and rest.
The third floor was reserved exclusively for Teng Qingshan.
After touring all three floors,
Teng Qingshan was very pleased with Hong's efficiency.
Hong had also understood his intentions clearly, and there was almost nothing that needed changing. Teng Qingshan set the grand opening for three days later, on an auspicious day, and the sect would officially open its doors to disciples!
The morning of April 28, 2015.
The area beside White Horse Lake was unusually lively.
To make sure there would be plenty of people at the grand opening,
Hong had set up a stage in front of the Xingyi Sect and paid several locally famous young stars to warm up the crowd.
Flower baskets lined the front of the martial arts hall.
The place looked bustling.
They had begun building up publicity for the hall a few days earlier, too.
Ads were plastered all over the streets, and the local TV station had run reports.
They had done a great job promoting it.
In the period since the Virus outbreak, people of all ages and genders had been hoping for a strong, healthy body.
Many martial arts halls and boxing gyms had opened recently.
But the Xingyi Sect was the only one in Yi'an District that had promoted itself this well.
Naturally, on opening day, a great many curious onlookers came to see the spectacle.
Among them were people from other local martial arts halls. They hadn't come to become disciples; they had come to challenge the sect...
"Senior Brother, the Xingyi Sect is making such a big show of itself. We'll have to knock them down a peg later, or our martial arts hall will have a hard time getting by in Yi'an District."
A bald young man glared at the bustling Xingyi Sect and spoke bitterly.
In their eyes, the Xingyi Sect had gone to all this trouble with its advertisements because it was trying to steal their business.
Their Yi'an Martial Arts Hall had been established for years, and Xingyi Fist was the main style they taught.
There couldn't be two tigers on one mountain.
In Yi'an District, there could only be one martial arts hall teaching Xingyi Fist.
"Just wait and see. The teacher will be here soon. When a place like the Xingyi Sect opens, we have to test them. If they're just trying to recruit students, pocket the money, and leave, then fine. But if they really plan to stay open and teach, they'll need to prove they have the skills."
The equally bald senior brother spoke calmly.
In front of the Xingyi Sect,
Teng Qingshan stood on the stage they had set up and began by delivering a speech to the crowd below.
In short, he said that the Xingyi Sect had been established to popularize Internal Martial Arts and help every student discover their potential. They would build their strength and develop powerful physiques capable of withstanding danger.
Seeing how young the sect master was, the people below were initially somewhat dismissive.
But as Teng Qingshan explained some of the more advanced theories of Internal Martial Arts, he had Hong bring out a massive boulder.
The audience members examined it and confirmed that it was a genuine boulder.
With a faint smile, Teng Qingshan casually threw a Crushing Fist.
Bang!!!
The boulder stood more than a meter tall and was half a meter thick.
Under Teng Qingshan's Crushing Fist, it shattered on the spot!
Wow!!!
Seeing this, the curious onlookers all wore expressions of disbelief.
