"Haha, good!"
Seeing Chu Tiannan sign the contract outright, Wang Jinhai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, North Martial Arts Hall had not moved as quickly as East Martial Arts Hall.
Those old fellows at North Martial Arts Hall will probably stamp their feet when they find out this kid is at the Martial Master level, Wang Jinhai thought with a private chuckle as he put away the contract.
"Prospective Martial Artist Chu Tiannan!"
The next moment, Wang Jinhai turned around, fixed the young man on the sofa with a solemn gaze, and spoke in a deep voice.
"From this moment on, you are a member of East Martial Arts Hall. You must never betray us for as long as you live. Otherwise, both major martial arts hall systems of the China Alliance will hunt you down with their full strength!"
His words carried the power of a High-Level Martial Master, jolting Chu Tiannan out of his joy like a heavy hammer.
"Don't worry, Supervisor Wang. I'd have to have a death wish." Facing the pressure of a High-Level Martial Master, Chu Tiannan was still inwardly shocked by the man's strength as he cupped his fist.
"This is only a reminder. After all, I believe no normal person would go to such extremes." Wang Jinhai smiled.
"Don't take it to heart. Every newly promoted Martial Artist gets this reminder. Our entire conversation is being recorded."
Understanding dawned on Chu Tiannan. He naturally understood and bore no resentment.
"Tiannan, you can go enjoy your villa now." Wang Jinhai waved with a smile and clicked his tongue.
"I'll take my leave!" Hearing this, Chu Tiannan cupped his hands and excused himself.
"Oh, right. Someone will take you to the Martial Artist assessment tomorrow."
"Although you're now one of us at East Martial Arts Hall, you aren't an official Martial Artist yet. You aren't registered for access in East Martial Arts Hall's system, so don't wander around outside your villa tonight!"
Seemingly remembering something, Wang Jinhai added this reminder, and Chu Tiannan answered with a slight bow.
"Understood, Instructor Wang!"
"Off you go!"
Once Chu Tiannan had completely left the office, a tone sounded around Wang Jinhai, indicating that the system had stopped recording.
Wang Jinhai returned to his seat, took a sip of the tea on his desk, which had already cooled to lukewarm, and shook his head with a smile.
"What luxury. I've worked hard until forty-one, and I still haven't moved into a villa. Lucky kid."
"I hope you can go further along the path of a Martial Artist..."
"Holy crap, Tiannan, you're kidding! They actually gave you a whole villa?" A Lai exclaimed in shock as he drove the electric cart.
His eyes went perfectly round, clearly overwhelmed by the news.
As a seasoned Martial Artist, A Lai naturally understood what it meant for the martial arts hall to give someone a villa.
Those were all reserved for future genius Martial Artists!
"Brother A Lai, want to come over to my villa?" Chu Tiannan waved the key card in his hand with a chuckle.
"Of course! Why wouldn't I?" A Lai widened his eyes, then said fiercely, "Not only am I coming, I'm bringing a few brothers too. Do you mind?"
"Everyone's welcome. I'm new here, so it's naturally an honor to get to know seniors like you!"
"Haha, what a smooth talker. I've got high hopes for you!"
As the electric cart passed through the residential area, passing Martial Artists greeted A Lai warmly.
"A Lai, even a gate guardian like you is personally escorting a Martial Artist into the neighborhood? Now that's a sight!"
"Haha, I'm not heading into the neighborhood this time. Talk later!" A Lai laughed heartily and drove Chu Tiannan past the neighborhood.
"Holy shit, is A Lai heading toward the villa district?" The two burly Martial Artists who had just greeted him were dumbfounded.
One of them, a man carrying a broad sword on his back, said in surprise, "Has another genius Martial Artist joined our martial arts hall?"
The two exchanged looks, each seeing shock in the other's eyes.
After all, genius Martial Artists were not like ordinary Martial Artists. They did not simply appear whenever one wanted.
An urban district might not even produce more than five genius Martial Artists in a year.
"The residences for ordinary Martial Artists are divided into four districts: east, south, west, and north. That's what we just passed through. But there's only one villa district for you people!"
A Lai spoke as he drove the electric cart.
"Everyone in your villa district is a future elite Martial Artist, so naturally, your status is higher than that of ordinary Martial Artists like us."
"That's why it's called Aspirational Feather. It means hoping you'll spread your wings and soar to the very peak."
"Aspirational Feather..." Chu Tiannan murmured, his heart filled with boundless fighting spirit.
"This is the Aspirational Feather Villa District. Martial Artist, please present your identification!" An indifferent system voice sounded.
As expected of a villa district for elite Martial Artists, even its entrance was protected by a system.
Ding! Prospective Martial Artist Chu Tiannan's identity confirmed. Please enter!
With Chu Tiannan as his pass, their way was naturally clear!
A Lai drove into the villa district. To be honest, if not for Chu Tiannan, he would never have had the chance to feast his eyes on it.
In plain terms, the villas were all individual estates, each occupying the same amount of land.
Before long, Chu Tiannan arrived at the entrance to Villa 99!
Looking at the enormous three-story house within the estate, Chu Tiannan marveled inwardly.
"My villa!"
