Huai Tianpei came looking for Chen Qi, and the second brother watched him / Chen Qi: My family has started testing my abilities

Unlike Nian, Xi has gradually found her place in the crew. It can be said that Xi is now one of the most important members of the crew. Without her, many troubles would not be resolved. Therefore, Xi is definitely not facing the risk of unemployment.

Xi would rather believe that Chen Qi fired Talulah and retired from the industry than believe that Chen Qi could leave her. Xi's position in the crew was unshakeable.

Faced with Nian's loud outburst, Chen Qi cast a rather helpless glance at Saria and said:

"Ms. Saria, given the situation and the fact that you're new here, I need to gain the respect of everyone in the Art Troupe. So, if it's convenient, could you start with the work of an assistant?"

Chen Qi assigned Saria a rather vague position: assistant, the kind of job that involves constantly following Chen Qi around. It seems like she doesn't care about anything, but because Chen Qi's arrangements need to be carried out, it also seems like Saria can manage everything.

Although Saria is known as "harder than diamond," her emotional intelligence is far from negative. She showed no dissatisfaction with Chen Qi's arrangements and simply nodded in approval.

"I'm planning to start from the very basics, like an assistant. I'll prove myself with my abilities."

Saria gladly accepted the new job, and her reason for joining the crew is similar to that of Młynar: they both want to Protection the "purity" of the crew and hope that it can influence the land and lead it in a better direction.

It can be said that Chen Qi's film crew is now seen as a new hope by the two of them. If the world can really develop in a better direction, then perhaps Chen Qi's film crew can play a very crucial role.

At that moment, Xi, who was standing to the side, noticed something and subconsciously summoned her longsword. But before she could exert any force, she saw a figure wearing a black bamboo hat and a straw raincoat appear out of thin air.

"Hold your hand. I am Black Cape, a subordinate of Commander Wei Yenwu, and I have come to deliver a message to Director Chen Qi."

"Black Cape?"

Upon hearing the name, Chen Qi immediately stepped forward, and Saria quickly assumed her role as his assistant, standing close by Chen Qi's side, ready to protect Chen Qi safety at any moment.

"Did Wei Yenwu send you?"

"Indeed." Black Cape immediately handed a letter to Chen Qi and said, "Duke Wei hopes that Director Chen Qi will go to Lungmen to meet them immediately. They have important matters to discuss with you in detail."

"Duke Wei specifically instructed that this matter is of great importance, and General Chongyue is already at Lungmen to oversee the situation. Director Chen Qi is requested to go there as soon as possible."

"Big brother is here too?"

When Nian and Xi heard that Chongyue had arrived at Lungmen, they realized that the matter was quite serious. After reading the letter sent by Wei Yenwu, Chen Qi immediately said to Black Cape:

"Talulah and Alina are already packing their bags; we should arrive in Lungmen in about two weeks."

"Wait, Director Chen Qi, if we're in a hurry, we have a faster way to get to Lungmen!"

Just as Chen Qi was about to act, Saria stopped Chen Qi in time, and then said with a smile:

"Perfect timing! The gift Kristen gave us can come in handy now. I'll go tell everyone at Rhine Lab to get that ship out. If all goes well, we should be able to reach Lungmen in a week."

"A ship? What ship?" Chen Qi vaguely sensed something was amiss, but Saria remained calm and immediately revealed the answer:

"A sophisticated, large land vessel, a prototype built with Rhine Lab's latest technology, originally intended for use by the Columbia military. It's also a gift Kristen specially prepared for you as a token of gratitude for your help."

Chapter 199: Huai Tianpei, who came to find Chen Qi, and the second brother's gaze towards Chen Qi.

"Chi Xiao! Draw your sword!"

A week later, at Wei Yenwu's residence in Lungmen, Wei Yenwu used his pipe as a weapon and once again unleashed a crimson sword aura. Huai Tianpei was forced back several steps in front of him, but still managed to deflect the sword aura.

"51 to 49, after a hundred moves, Duke Wei has a slight advantage." Chongyue, acting as the referee, concluded the match. Huai Tianpei bowed respectfully to Wei Yenwu, speaking with admiration:

"As expected of Duke Wei, you haven't practiced martial arts for many years, yet your sword aura remains undiminished. I humbly admit defeat."

"Master Huai, you're too kind. You're fighting bare-handed. Although I don't have the Crimson Chi Xiao, I still have a pipe as a weapon. An inch longer, an inch stronger. In terms of fist and foot Kung Fu Hustle alone, I'm far inferior to Master Huai."

Wei Yenwu also put away his pipe. Facing Chongyue and Huai Tianpei, he seemed to be in a much better mood and smiled:

"I also want to thank Master Huai for shielding me from the challenges of those martial arts practitioners. I had to fight ten matches a day recently, which really strained my old back."

"Currently, nearly a hundred martial arts masters have flocked to Lungmen. Duke Wei also needs to manage their accommodations and designate areas for these masters to fight, having specially planned a fighting arena in the center of Lungmen." Chongyue also stepped forward with a smile. He had already fought with the two present and was very clear about their abilities, so he said:

"Duke Wei is busy with official duties, yet his sword aura is even more restrained than when we last met. Has his martial arts reached a new level?"

"... I have to thank that brat Chen Qi for that; the Tai Chi manual he sent me is truly invaluable."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yenwu was also filled with emotion. He never imagined that after their parting at Lungmen, that kid who he initially thought was unreliable would become more and more mysterious, causing more and more trouble. With such a background, even he, as the uncle, had to show some respect.

Now, he has somehow acquired two extremely profound martial arts manuals. When Wei Yenwu first heard from Chongyue that they might have been written by Chen Qi, he was quite skeptical. He knew Chen Qi's strength; let alone a martial arts practitioner, his physical condition was weaker than that of the average Terra person. How could he possibly be the one to write such profound martial arts manuals?

However, when Chongyue confirmed that even he didn't know about these two martial arts, Wei Yenwu had no choice but to believe it—after all, the possibility of Chen Qi digging up the martial arts manuals of Yan from Columbia was even smaller than the possibility of him writing them down himself.

"This style of boxing is quite suitable for cultivating one's character. I was feeling irritable recently, so I would practice a set of Tai Chi, and I would quickly feel calm and peaceful."

"--What about Madam Wen Yue?" Chongyue couldn't help but ask upon hearing this, "Madam Wen Yue seems to be practicing the Lion's Roar Technique. This internal skill is quite profound. I wonder if Madam Wen Yue has mastered it?"

"... You'll find out then."

However, a bitter look appeared on Wei Yenwu's face when he asked about Wenyue's situation; he really didn't want to say anything more. Chongyue also knew a bit about Wei Yenwu's family affairs, so he didn't ask any further questions.

"This kid wants to drag Wenyue and me into acting for him. Fine, we'll act, but he's forcing us to practice martial arts too. His connections are way too much."

"When he comes back this time, even if Little Chen Little Tal try to stop him, it won't work. I'm going to teach that kid a lesson and show him what respect for elders is all about."

Wei Yenwu had no choice. If Chen Qi returned this time with only the titles of Lord Kazdel and Lord Victoria, it wouldn't be of much use to Wei Yenwu, since he was Chen Qi's elder.

The problem is that Chen Qi's film this time is supported even by the emperor's younger brother, Wei Yenwu. Chen Qi is making the film by imperial decree, and Wei Yenwu can't ignore him even if he wants to. If he is accused of "disobeying an imperial decree," he'll be kneeling on a washboard until it's worn out, and no one will plead for him.

At that moment, Huai Tianpei suddenly spoke up, "Before Duke Wei makes his move, please allow me to spar with Director Chen Qi. I have come all this way specifically to compete with him."

"Master Huai, it's not that I'm biased, it's just that that kid really doesn't know any martial arts, I can tell that much."

However, among Wei Yenwu's current headaches is Huai Tiankui's unwavering insistence on sparring with Chen Qi. From the day Chen Qi met Wei Yenwu, he could tell that the boy had absolutely no martial arts foundation. Even if he started working hard now, how much could his martial arts improve in two years?

Huai Tianpei's martial arts skills are on par with Wei Yenwu's. In terms of martial arts alone, apart from Chongyue, who dares to say they can compare to Huai Tianpei? If he were to fight Chen Qi, Wei Yenwu would be afraid that he would send Chen Qi to his death with a single punch.

But Huai Tianpei didn't believe it at all. He didn't believe that someone who could write about two profound martial arts, "Tai Chi" and "Lion's Roar Technique," would be just a person who wields a pen. Even Chongyue didn't believe it. From Zuo Le's hesitant words at the time, Chongyue guessed that Chen Qi might be someone like him.

Furthermore, given Chen Qi's striking resemblance to Yan, Chongyue couldn't help but wonder if he was some Yan Feranmut that had escaped a calamity years ago, but whom he simply didn't recognize.

Regardless, Chongyue now had the opportunity to meet Chen Qi and finally find out the truth. He believed that as long as he made contact with Chen Qi, he would know who Chen Qi really was, whether he was Feranmut or a human.

Just then, a Black Cape suddenly appeared before Wei Yenwu and his group, and said respectfully:

"Duke Wei, Director Chen Qi has arrived, and he's brought a giant landship. Officer Chen and her team went to greet him beforehand."

"Huh? So fast?"

Wei Yenwu was also somewhat surprised. He had thought that it was already quite remarkable that Chen Qi and his team could finish filming " To the To the Moon" in a month, but now they had returned to Lungmen in the east from almost the westernmost part of Terra in just seven Kung Fu Hustle?

And... a giant landship? Where did this kid get it? Even the Great Yan doesn't have many of these.

However, in contrast to Wei Yenwu's surprise, Huai Tianpei and Chongyue's eyes lit up when they heard that Chen Qi had arrived. Huai Tianpei didn't even have time to say hello before using his lightness skill to head towards the main gate of Lungmen.

Huai Tianpei had a great interest in Chen Qi, and he had come all this way for him... As for whether Chen Qi knew martial arts or not, Huai Tianpei could naturally find out by testing him.

"A land-based ship gifted by Rhine Lab... well, even though it's called a land-based ship, it feels almost like a land-based aircraft carrier."

Chen Qi, who had just arrived in Lungmen aboard the large military landship that Kristen gifted him as a token of gratitude, was still reeling from Kristen's extravagance. Their landship was now almost a quarter the size of Rhodes Island, practically a mobile fortress.

It's important to understand that Rhodes Island is a small land-based aircraft carrier, capable of holding a population equivalent to a small Mobile City. A land-based ship a quarter the size of Rhodes Island is practically on par with a land-based aircraft carrier.

"This is actually a scrapped land vessel. Initially, the Columbia military planned to mass-produce such vessels as military fortresses, but the order was later cancelled," Saria, who was in charge of piloting the land vessel, explained to Chen Qi.

"Building such a mobile Kung Fu Hustle would be too expensive; equipping every soldier with mass-produced powered armor would be much more time-efficient and labor-saving," said the Columbia military. Therefore, this land vessel has been preserved, and thankfully, it has finally come in handy.

"Ah, we've arrived. It seems like the Lungmen Guard Department is waiting for us ahead."

Saria skillfully piloted the landship to a stop in the outskirts of Lungmen. As the landship docked, Talulah eagerly rushed off, shouting to Chen Huijie was already waiting in the distance:

"Little Chen!"

"Little Tal!"

The sisters were reunited after two years apart. They were quite excited to see each other again and embraced each other. Everyone gave them some time to be affectionate.

"You've finally decided to come back, Director Chen." Chen Qi followed closely behind, walking down with Saria and the others. Hoshiguma and Swire, who had come with Chen Huijie, also greeted Chen Qi warmly upon seeing him.

"Star Sir, and Officer Swire, it's been a long time." Chen Qi and his assistant, Saria, walked over together. However, Chen Qi soon noticed an unexpected figure standing to the side and asked curiously:

"Isn't this Lee? Are you here to pick me up too?"

"Director Chen, it's been a long time!"

Lee also came over to greet Chen Qi. Chen Qi and Lee were fairly familiar with each other. Back when they were filming "Young and Dangerous," Chen Qi had contacted Lee and asked him for help. However, he wasn't as familiar with Lin Yuxia and Wei Yenwu as he was with Lao Li.

Therefore, Chen Qi was quite surprised that Lee was waiting for him here this time. He subconsciously felt that Lee might have something to ask him, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to wait here specifically for him.

"It's been two years, and Director Chen has become quite successful in Terra. I regret not becoming sworn brothers with him back then, and not being able to latch onto his coattails. It's such a pity."

Lee was indeed a shrewd person; with just a few words, he flattered Chen Qi to the skies, showering him with praise until Chen Qi felt a little embarrassed. He then continued:

"I heard that Director Chen is back this time, so I specially cooked a few dishes and prepared some good wine. I've also invited Officer Wei Madam Wen Yue. How about we do them the honor of having a get-together at my office?"

"Lee, you're cooking yourself? I can't refuse." Chen Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this. Putting aside everything else, Lee's cooking skills were truly impeccable. Chen Qi also vaguely guessed what Lee wanted his help with, which was nothing more than something related to the movie "Kung Fu Hustle" that he was going to film.

However, Chen Qi had already planned to do this; he had originally intended to "borrow" someone from Lee, so this was exactly what he wanted.

"Then, without further ado, let's..."

Before Lee could finish speaking, Huai Tianpei had already arrived in the outskirts of Lungmen. Huai Tianpei 'Huai Tianpei eyes were fixed on Chen Qi, and his attention could be felt even from a distance!

"Watch out!"

Saria noticed the anomaly almost immediately and stepped in front of Chen Qi. Before anyone could even react, Huai Tianpei had already reached Chen Qi!

"Excuse me!"

With a sharp shout, Huai Tianpei clenched his fists and charged towards Chen Qi through the air, poised to attack.

Huai Tianpei executed this move perfectly, aiming to test Chen Qi's true abilities. If Chen Qi would undoubtedly be a hidden master who would immediately defend against his attack.

If Chen Qi hadn't reacted in time, his fist could have been positioned just before hitting Saria. Huai Tianpei could tell at a glance that Saria was incredibly strong, and that if his punch missed, it would create a huge gust of wind, enough to blow someone away. However, with Saria protecting him, the gust of wind wouldn't hurt Chen Qi.

With this in mind, Huai Tianpei suddenly threw a punch, while Saria's eyes narrowed, her Originium Arts activated, Calcification covered her fist, ready to counterattack at any moment.

At this moment, Chen Qi finally reacted. Facing Saria blocking his way and Huai Tianpei soaring through the air, Chen Qi's heart stirred slightly, and a familiar power surged within him once again.

"Roar--!!"

Instantly, the roar of the lion resounded once more. Huai Tianpei's heavy fist collided directly with the giant lion phantom that burst forth from Chen Qi's body. In an instant, a strong wind swept through the entire Lungmen! The airflow generated by the collision spread rapidly, forcing Huai Tianpei to retreat quickly.

"Click!"

Huai Tianpei's figure slid several meters before he finally regained his footing. At that moment, the sheer joy on Huai Tianpei's face was palpable. He completely ignored his arms, which had been numb from the shock, and grinned as he said:

"So this is the Lion's Roar Technique?! Just as I suspected! To encounter another peerless master, this trip has been worthwhile! Hahahaha!"

... What's wrong with this guy? Chen Qi belatedly realized with lingering fear that he had "Protection" protecting him, otherwise he would have taken that hit from Saria.

However... this seems to have caused some misunderstanding. What peerless master? Is this referring to him?

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the clash between Huai Tianpei and Chen Qi. Not far away, a dark mist was watching this scene intently. The mist seemed to possess a pair of invisible eyes, observing Chen Qi's figure from afar.

"This is the piece I've been looking for... a brilliant move in the game of chess, which, if used well, could cause the Great Yan to lose the entire game!"

... But why did Chen Qi exude an aura that was both unfamiliar and yet felt familiar to him? It was truly perplexing.

Is this Chen Qi really a lion? Why does he seem so unlike one? He seems to have the roar of a dragon?

Chapter 200: Chen Qi: This time, my family is starting to test my abilities.

"You want to fight me? Are you sure?"

"Of course, a duel, and a duel of all strength. That's why I've come all the way from Jade Gate. I want to spar with you and seek the highest realm of martial arts."

Huai Tianpei's probing of Chen Qi in the suburbs of Lungmen caused quite a stir. Chongyue and Wei Yenwu, who had just arrived from afar, as well as Chen Huijie, Hoshiguma, and Lee, who were still in shock, all witnessed the moment when Chen Qi's "Lion's Roar Technique" was unleashed. They all re-examined Chen Qi amidst the massive upheaval.

Nowadays, younger generations like Chen Huijie may not know much about "Feranmut," but Lee, Wei Yenwu, and Chongyue all knew Chen Qi's identity when they saw the giant lion phantom roaring out of Chen Qi's body.

Unlike Huai Tianpei's initial reaction, none of the three felt that this was the so-called "Lion's Roar Technique" power. The oppressive feeling and the intimidating power of the king of beasts were undoubtedly brought about by Feranmut with a very high racial advantage!

As for why it wasn't "Lion's Roar Technique," it's mainly because Chongyue, Wei Yenwu, and Lee could all see that Chen Qi's reaction at the time didn't involve any internal energy exertion. The three of them had all witnessed Lion's Roar Technique, as Madam Wen Yue practiced it. This internal energy technique is profound and can also create huge sound waves and intimidation, but there is still a pre-cast animation, so it's impossible to exert force immediately without using internal energy.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for Chen Qi's reaction: his own Feranmut power was Protection him, and when he encountered a crisis, he subconsciously used the Feranmut's power to repel Huai Tianpei.

"So that means... the 'Lion's Roar Technique' is a martial art created by Director Chen Qi himself, capable of simulating the effects of his own Feranmut power?"

Chongyue couldn't help but think this way, and he felt that his guess was quite reliable. Because he himself had seen the effects that could be achieved at the highest level in "Lion's Roar Technique", he felt that the description in it was quite close to the effects that Chen Qi had shown at the time.

"Unfortunately... the conditions for learning this internal skill are too demanding. Madam Wen Yue is an unexpectedly gifted talent, and with her solid foundation, she was able to master this profound internal skill."

"Otherwise, if some Celestial Masters were to master this technique, many Feranmut in Yan that lack racial advantages might find themselves in a rather embarrassing situation, wouldn't they?"

Chongyue belatedly realized how fortunate he was, because the racial advantage of the "Sui" was undoubtedly the pinnacle of all the Feranmut in Terra. Although the Lion's Roar Technique was powerful, it was not enough to intimidate a "Sui" like him. Moreover, as long as one was strong enough to withstand the power of the Lion's Roar Technique, this internal skill would not be so terrifying.

Even so, Chongyue was still somewhat shaken after witnessing Chen Qi's strength. The strength Chen Qi had just displayed gave Chongyue a rough assessment of Chen Qi —his strength was comparable to theirs among the fragments, perhaps slightly weaker than Ling, but definitely above Nian and Xi.

Now, his second younger brother has set his sights on such a person... I wonder if his second younger brother will back down after Director Chen Qi has demonstrated his abilities this time.
