Infinite Professions-Chapter 39 - 35: Conditions

"This...?!"

In an instant, like lightning striking, Zhang Hua was severely injured, and the surrounding Xingyi Society members were left speechless at the sight.

Zhang Hua had a notorious reputation, well-known as a playboy, often using teaching as an excuse to harass underclass girls, causing several scandals.

If everyone knew, then why hasn’t anyone handled it and allowed him to remain in the club as a cancerous member?

Firstly, his background is influential; secondly, his skills are outstanding. Even in his sophomore year, he stood out among True Qi students, and now as a senior, his Gang Qi is even more developed, making it difficult for the club to expel him.

But now...

Zhang Hua kneeled, one hand pressed against his chest, the other supporting himself on the ground, clenching his teeth tightly, his face ugly with bulging veins on his forehead, visibly uncontrolled Gang Qi fluctuating around him.

"I advise you not to force it."

Shen Hex stepped forward, meeting his resentful gaze, calmly saying.

"You learn without depth, possessing form without essence. Though you’ve cultivated Gang Qi through drugs, your control over the Gang Qi and your body is extremely weak, resulting in countless flaws in your Cultivation Body. Now that you’re injured, if you forcibly operate your energy, the Gang Qi might lose control and damage your meridians lightly, or cause your Dantian to explode on the spot, leading to a complete body rupture. Think it over carefully yourself."

"..."

"..."

"..."

His words fell, and the people were silent, dead quiet.

Only Zhang Hua’s gaze trembled, with Gang Qi erupting inside, causing his body to shake violently.

"Pfft!!!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Zhang Hua fell to the ground, his life and death unknown.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The crowd remained silent, turning their eyes to Shen Hex.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Shen Hex remained calm, telling Zhang Hua’s followers, "Take him to the infirmary."

Saying this, regardless of the crowd’s reaction, he turned and walked out of the dojo.

Seeing this, Zhang Hua’s followers were brought back to reality, hastily carrying Zhang Hua to the medical room.

Leaving everyone stunned, looking at each other, soon causing a commotion.

"Holy crap!"

"So powerful?"

"True Qi beat Gang Qi with one move?"

"Are new students this monstrous now?"

"How did he do it? I couldn’t even see it clearly."

"From what he said, Zhang Hua cultivated Gang Qi through drugs, so it’s natural he was so easily defeated?"

"Natural my ass! Using drugs to level up is still leveling up, even weak Gang Qi should withstand more than one True Qi move!"

"This kid, he’s something else!"

"A freshman, where did he get such skills?"

"Could he be some rare profession, an extraordinary talent?"

"Zhang Hua ended up like this. The vice president surely won’t let it slide easily."

"I thought the club president was already the king of show-offs, yet someone outdid him. Whose envoy is he?"

"..."

Inside the dojo, people were discussing endlessly, unable to calm down.

In the club office on the second floor, three individuals observed everything through the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Shen Hex leave.

Watching Shen Hex’s departing silhouette, the female furrowed her brows, the young man remained silent, and Zhong Qin was speechless with astonishment.

Has he cultivated True Qi?

How did he do it so fast?

Zhong Qin found it hard to believe, as just recently, Shen Hex had condensed Inner Strength right in front of her, barely twenty days ago, not even a month has passed, and he has opened his Dantian and cultivated True Qi?

What kind of speed is this?

Could he be one of those legendary Martial Dao prodigies, cultivating Martial Arts as simple as eating and drinking?

Zhong Qin was filled with questions.

"Zhong Qin!"

Just then, the female called out, bringing her back to reality.

"Senior sister!"

Zhong Qin awakened, nervously meeting the female’s gaze, "He’s just like that, tending to be a bit pedantic, but I can assure you he doesn’t have a bad nature; otherwise, he wouldn’t have advised Zhang Hua not to push it."

"..."

Looking at Zhong Qin, desperately explaining, the female merely changed the topic with a playful tone, "You just mentioned, before school started at Yunlan Hotel, he condensed Inner Strength right before your eyes?"

Zhong Qin paused, then nodded, "That’s right, I can vouch for it."

The female furrowed her brow, "Yet now, just over half a month, he has opened his Dantian and cultivated True Qi. Do you think this progression is reasonable?"

"That... is somewhat irrational."

Zhong Qin hesitated for a while but defended Shen Hex, "However, this world has many irrational occurrences. Perhaps he possesses a special profession, talent, or skills. I maintain that recruiting him into our club would definitely be beneficial."

"Beneficial?"

The youth, who had been listening the entire time, finally broke his silence, "Despite Zhang Hua being an old member of our Xingyi Society, beaten publicly like this, we’re still considering recruiting him. How would other senior members feel?"

"Moreover, Zhang Hua is Vice President Zhang’s younger brother. Letting him join, will Vice President Zhang agree, will the president agree? Are we destroying the club’s unity for one person?"

"Lastly, obviously arrogant and even dismissive; today it’s Zhang Hua, next time who else might he challenge? Bringing in this unstable element would harm the whole club."

"This..."

The youth’s reasoning left Zhong Qin speechless, unable to counter.

"What feeling?"

Eventually, the female spoke again, looking down at the people below, "It was Zhang Hua who initiated the duel, and he was defeated openly. If because of that, we reject him, then the Xingyi Society should stop recruiting and old members shouldn’t graduate. Stay clinging together till death."

"This..."

Her words rendered the youth mute, forcing a follow-up question, "What about the president and Vice President Zhang..."

"Why, is this their private club?"

The female sneered, "Xingyi Society is the school’s Xingyi Society, the students’ Xingyi Society, the group’s Xingyi Society, not a private family business. If they have a problem, I’ll talk to Teacher Teng, to the school affairs office!"

"..."

The youth fell silent, yet remained somewhat resistant, "If he joins and acts recklessly, continues challenging other members?"

The female gave him a glance, "Xingyi Society is a Martial Arts Society. If some members can’t accept guidance, learn humbly, and instead view it as provocation and humiliation, I suggest those people leave. Xingyi Society isn’t suitable for them."

"..."

With those words, the youth was completely silenced, quietly stepping aside.

The female turned back to Zhong Qin, "I agree to his conditions."

"Really, that’s great!"

Zhong Qin, thrilled, said, "I’ll go tell him now."

"Wait!"

The female stopped her, "But I have one condition he must agree to."

"This..."

Zhong Qin hesitated, "What condition?"

The female smiled, "..."
