At noon, Donghai Martial Arts Academy.
After finishing their morning cultural classes, the students headed to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Holy crap, someone on the Divine Net forum revealed that teacher Wuming is the legendary Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall!"
Suddenly, an excited shout erupted in the cafeteria.
A student, mid-meal, had been checking his phone when he saw the news and jumped up in shock.
Huh?
Hearing the student's words, everyone else, including Huangfu Weixia, Chu Feng, Su Qiang, and Xiao Han, froze. The cafeteria fell into an eerie silence.
"Holy crap, is that for real?"
"Let me see!"
Soon, the silence was broken by exclamations as people grabbed their phones.
As students of Donghai Martial Arts Academy, they were all martial artists with accounts on the Divine Net.
Quickly, they logged onto the Divine Net forum, only to find that almost every page was filled with posts about this news.
"Oh my god, it's actually true!"
"I remember teacher Wuming is only twenty years old, and the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall is number one on the Two-Star War God list!"
"Teacher Wuming is too awesome?!"
After a brief silence, the cafeteria exploded like boiling water, with some students jumping for joy and waving their arms excitedly.
Huangfu Weixia, Chu Feng, Su Qiang, and Xiao Han, on the other hand, stared at each other, their eyes asking the unspoken question: Did you know about this?
To their surprise, all four of them were completely bewildered!
Because none of them knew about this!
What's more, Chu Feng and Huangfu Weixia had more than once eagerly asked Jiang Wuming to introduce them to the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall.
Chu Feng had even boasted that he could brag for a lifetime if he could just have a drink with the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall!
And now, there were rumors that Jiang Wuming was the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall!
If this was true, then he had missed out on a chance to brag for ten lifetimes!
"Huangfu Weixia, is this true?"
As the four of them stood there in a daze, a student from nearby asked.
Huangfu Weixia's affection for Jiang Wuming, and even her cancellation of her engagement because of him, was common knowledge throughout Donghai Martial Arts Academy.
Although there was no evidence that Jiang Wuming and Huangfu Weixia were together, students believed that Huangfu Weixia had a good relationship with Jiang Wuming.
Besides, Huangfu Weixia was always with Su Qiang, Xiao Han, and Chu Feng – all of whom had an extraordinary relationship with Jiang Wuming!
"Huangfu Weixia, you guys knew about this news long ago, right?"
"Chu Feng, you guys knew this and didn't tell us, that's really not cool!"
"Yeah, teacher Wuming is the pride of our Donghai Martial Arts Academy! You should have shared this news with us so we could feel proud too!"
Before Huangfu Weixia could respond, more students spoke up. They had already accepted the news as true and were now gathering around Huangfu Weixia, Chu Feng, Su Qiang, and Xiao Han.
"—"
Huangfu Weixia and Chu Feng exchanged glances, speechless.
Then, with unspoken understanding, they stood up, pulling Su Qiang and Xiao Han along, and squeezed through the crowd, fleeing the cafeteria as if they were escaping.
"What's going on? How did Brother Wuming suddenly become the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall?!"
Outside the cafeteria, Chu Feng couldn't help but ask.
"Chu Feng, give him a call and ask him what's going on," Huangfu Weixia suggested.
Ever since her engagement to Wei Qianyuan was called off because of Jiang Wuming, she had been in less contact with him. Moreover, she felt awkward calling Jiang Wuming in front of Chu Feng, Su Qiang, and Xiao Han.
"Okay!"
Chu Feng nodded, immediately took out his phone, and dialed Jiang Wuming. As soon as the call connected, he asked impatiently:
"Brother Wuming, the Divine Net forum is saying you're the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall. Is that true?"
"Mhm."
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Wuming paused for a moment, and finally, he didn't hide it from Chu Feng.
After all, he knew very well that after what happened last night, it would be difficult to keep this identity a secret anymore.
"Uh..."
Despite Chu Feng's anticipation, hearing Jiang Wuming confirm the news still made his head buzz, leaving him completely at a loss for words. By the time he regained his senses, Jiang Wuming had already hung up the phone.
Chu Feng put away his phone, ready to tell Huangfu Weixia, Su Qiang, and Xiao Han, only to find the three of them standing there, dumbfounded!
As martial artists, they had all heard the "mhm" from the receiver, receiving their answer.
"Big Bear, does this feel like a dream to you? Should I pinch you to see if you feel pain?"
Chu Feng asked, his eyes wide.
"Ouch!"
Huangfu Weixia snapped back to reality and grabbed a handful of flesh from Chu Feng's waist, pinching him hard. Chu Feng cried out in pain.
"Ding—"
Just then, the phone in Huangfu Weixia's pocket rang. She took out her phone and saw it was her father, Huangfu Qing, calling. After a moment's thought, she answered.
"Weixia, there's a rumor that Jiang Wuming is the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall. Is this true?"
Huangfu Qing spoke first, his tone unusually excited. He even held his breath after asking the question.
"I don't know."
Huangfu Weixia did not answer truthfully.
"Ah, you don't know about this?"
Huangfu Qing was a bit taken aback, then immediately said, "I just asked several people. They said the intelligence agency that spread this news is very reputable, so it should be true. Moreover, it's said that the entire Divine Net forum is discussing this matter, so it can't be groundless!
So... uh, Weixia, didn't I mention before that you should invite Master Wuming to our house for dinner? When can you arrange it?"
"Beep... beep..."
Huangfu Qing was met with a busy signal. Huangfu Weixia had directly hung up the phone.
"What a disaster! I missed the chance to have the world's most powerful martial arts genius as my son-in-law?!"
Huangfu Qing put away his phone and muttered to himself.
"Slap!"
As the words fell, Huangfu Qing slapped himself across the face!
At this moment, he completely forgot that Jiang Wuming already had a fiancée. He only felt that preventing Jiang Wuming and Huangfu Weixia from being together was the most foolish decision of his life, and he was filled with regret!
...
Southwest, Medicine God Valley.
"Miss... Miss, I just received news that... that Jiang Wuming is the legendary Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall!"
Li Lianyiyi's bodyguard, Yun Yan, came to her study, so excited that he could barely speak coherently.
"Uncle Yun, is this matter so shocking?" Li Lianyiyi asked with a smile.
"Of course! If Jiang Wuming is the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall, what does that mean?
He's only twenty years old!
At twenty, to dominate the Two-Star War God list is an unprecedented legend!
In fact, it can be described as an unbelievable myth!
Now, because of this news, the Divine Net forum has exploded, and the global martial arts world is in an uproar..."
Yun Yan trembled with excitement, as if he were the Hall Master of the Battle Dragon Hall, not Jiang Wuming!
However, as he spoke halfway, he suddenly felt something was wrong – Li Lianyiyi was too calm!
This made Yun Yan's heart stir, and he suddenly realized something, tentatively asking, "Miss... Miss, you didn't already know this news, did you?"
"I didn't know, but I deduced this point a long time ago."
Li Lianyiyi shook her head with a smile.
As her words fell, the image of the young man flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but ask herself:
Since your identity has been exposed, are you going to come to Medicine God Valley now?
