Chapter 559: Chapter 559 – Mess

Naturally, he needed to consult with his master in order to do so. After all, the Cheng Clan Dojo was the lifeblood of his master. Although his master had already moved out of Cui Hu City, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet officially completed his apprenticeship. He still needed to inform his master of this matter.
As he was thinking this, Shi Yan Zhen walked beside him.
Shi Yan Zhen was currently introducing the ethical school to Wei Xiao Bei. It was clear that he was familiar with the school.
The ethical school was one personally taught by a martial monk after all. As a martial monk himself, Shi Yan Zhen had also come to teach before.
“Martial Uncle Yan Zhen! What wind blows you here today?”
As Shi Yan Zhen was talking non-stop, a clear voice echoed, cutting him off. When he looked in the direction of the voice, he replied, “Amitabha Buddha. It is definitely good wind, blown by the Buddha.”
His words might have sounded out of place, but he was in a good mood, even making a joke.
Wei Xiao Bei wore sunglasses. He did not use his eyes nor [Response Pulse] to sketch out the person that appeared.
It was a thirty-year-old fatty, wearings sports gear, and he walked very steadily despite his jiggling fat. Despite how fat he was, his breathing appeared normal.
He should have trained in some kind of horizontal martial art.
“Benefactor Wei, this fatty is the headmaster of this ethical school. His name is Tian Xiao Mao and he is a layman disciple of my brother Yan Wu. He was originally a martial monk who trained in Iron Cloth and was quite successful. Unfortunately, when he was 28 years old, he had been called back by his father to get married. Right, his father is the boss of Shanxi Coal. If this did not happen, he would have been able to train in the Golden Shield.”
Shi Yan Zhen’s tone carried a hint of regret as if he detested the boss of the coal mine.
It was clear that Shi Yan Zhen felt that Tian Xiao Mao was a genius in martial arts, but was forced by his father to stop. This was simply wasting valuable resources!
However, Wei Xiao Bei did not see it that way. The father who might have been in a rush to see his grandchild saw that his 28-year-old son was not married yet and so forced him to get married. This was quite normal. Could it be that one must give up a normal family life just for the sake of martial arts?
Naturally, if Tian Xiao Mao had voluntarily become a monk, no one could say anything. Since he was willing to marry, this meant that he had the thought to do so.
“Headmaster Tian, this is benefactor Wei. He is an important guest who my master has invited. He has especially come here to help you settle some problems.”
Shi Yan Zhen smiled and introduced Wei Xiao Bei to headmaster Tian.
Hearing Shi Yan Zhen’s words, the fat headmaster was immediately happy. He used the back of his hand to wipe his forehead sweat and warmly shook Wei Xiao Bei’s hand.
Naturally, when the two of them touched hands, headmaster Tian understood that the other party was an expert!
Wei Xiao Bei’s hands might have felt soft and boneless, but headmaster Tian understood that Wei Xiao Bei’s martial attainment had already reached a natural state!
Headmaster Tian had a strange habit. After shaking hands, he liked to show off his strength and rub his hand a few times, causing the other party to feel great discomfort while he, himself, felt great pleasure.
However, when he touched Wei Xiao Bei’s hand, he did not dare do this and quickly let go.
His back was immediately drenched in a layer of cold sweat.
Tian Xiao Mao had a premonition that if he dared play with this person, his end would be very tragic.
Mr. Wei might have appeared to be a pretty boy, but in truth, he was a hiding tiger!
It could be said, that just by knowing this, Tian Xiao Mao was indeed a martial arts genius.
“Mr. Wei, this is my business card.”
The two sides exchanged business cards and Tian Xiao Mao invited him inside the parlor. After exchanging conventional greetings, Wei Xiao Bei announced his purpose in visiting.
Naturally, everyone already knew his purpose.
Wei Xiao Bei had come to recruit people.
The words ‘The world is bustling for profit’ was a great phrase.
Even the students studying in the martial arts school were the same.
If they only came here to learn martial arts, they could have just gone to the Shaolin Temple and become a martial monk. Naturally, it was not that easy to become one, at the very least, this was because no one was able to easily be admitted, due to the masters’ discerning eyes.
In short, the students of the school were divided into two. One side was made up of those who purely had an interest in martial arts. On the other were those half-interested in martial arts and half-there for the prospects.
Naturally, those who purely loved it would be converted to the other side in the end.
After all, there were only a few students who had been born with a golden spoon in their mouths. Most of the students were from normal families.
Life was a sober reality.
Learning martial arts required money. Then, after learning martial arts, one needed to find a job. It was for their own lives and to repay the favor to the parents.
Those who learned martial arts only had a few choices for jobs.
One was to become a bodyguard. Another was to become a security guard. And then there were the options to become either a soldier or a police officer.
The last two options were more obscure. You could not choose those jobs just because you learned martial arts as they required one to pass an exam.
So, naturally, one was left to choose between becoming a security guard or a bodyguard. After all, both of these occupations needed martial power the most.
A bodyguard was essentially a higher grade security guard.
The ethical school might appear to have obtained some championships, but the job prospects after graduation were not that ideal.
Just because the atmosphere around Chinese martial arts was good, did not mean that one could become popular after graduating from a martial arts school.
Firstly, there were many martial arts schools, dojos, and other such training organizations across the entire country. Additionally, there was taekwondo, judo, mixed martial arts, and many others.
There were enough students graduating every year to totally saturate the market.
Moreover, many soldiers from the military would retire every year. Disregarding regular soldiers, if the special forces or the commandos were returned, then they would be warmly accepted by the bosses of companies.
Just like that, students from martial art schools found it much harder finding jobs.
On the other hand, the difficulty of finding jobs for martial arts students discouraged more students from enrolling.
In order to solve this problem, Tian Xiao Mao was having a hard time helping more than 30 people who were all worried about losing their jobs.
Hearing Wei Xiao Bei’s talking of wanting to recruit people, Tian Xiao Mao quickly pulled open a drawer and took out some materials, “Mr. Wei, these are the students that our school has specially selected. Every single one of them is excellent.
Wei Xiao Bei took the materials to take a look.
It discussed the martial arts of the students as well as the competitions that they entered and the prizes that they won. There were also pictures of them.
Under normal circumstances, these were what people normally asked for when looking to recruit people.
However, for Wei Xiao Bei, only the family situation was worth looking at. The rest would be better seen personally.
“Eh, they are all not bad. But I want to go take a look myself. Choosing that way would be better.”
Wei Xiao Bei smiled and returned the materials. Although he only looked at them once, he had a powerful memory and already memorized the contents in his mind.
“Oh. Okay, okay.”
Tian Xiao Mao was a bit stunned. However, it was not that this situation had never happened before. After all, bosses of security companies more or less had a bit of understanding about martial arts. In many cases, they believed their eyes more.
Luckily, it was currently the time for attending classes. Those students went according to their class numbers and assembled in the sports field to save some trouble.
Wei Xiao Bei and Shi Yan Zhen stood at the side of the sports field. Tian Xiao Mao went to talk with a few of the teachers.
After all, the boss wanted to see the students’ situations. Of course, this was nothing else but martial skill, defense, offense, and many others.
The teachers had also come across this situation before.
Soon, those students from the graduating class were assembled to the side. They began to display their foundations and some began to engage in one-on-one combat.
Tian Xiao Mao was introducing them on the side.
As the headmaster of the school, Tian Xiao Mao might not have a complete grasp of the students’ situation, but at the very least he understood quite well.
However, Wei Xiao Bei did not listen to this introduction at all. He slowly opened his eyes, hidden behind the sunglasses.
Activate Enlightenment!
In an instant, every student that Wei Xiao Bei looked at, had their status panel appear inside his head.
Naturally, the students who Wei Xiao Bei was looking at all felt uncomfortable.
The students that were currently training, all trembled. One had fallen to the ground from trembling, while one person who would’ve otherwise been able to dodge the sparring partner’s fist was hit. In the end, this student could only stare blankly as his nose bled.
Tian Xiao Mao was also stunned at this moment. When he saw the chaos of the field, his cheeks were streaming with tears.
What are you people doing?
The boss is standing here right now. Didn’t you perform well normally? Why make a mess at this crucial moment.
Tian Xiao Mao was stunned but he responded immediately. He smiled and used various fantastic lies to explain the situation.
However, Wei Xiao Bei was not in a bad mood.
It could be said that this martial art school was quite strong. In just one sweep, Wei Xiao Bei had noticed a lot of good sprouts.
It was very simple. Although these students had never entered the Dust World before, their status was quite high. Their innate talent was a lot better compared to most of their peers. Moreover, they had skills in the field of martial arts.
Naturally, because they were not yet mature, these martial art skills were mostly at advanced levels. The best would be at expert.
However, if they were in Wei Xiao Bei’s hands and taught for a certain amount of time, then they would become incomparable to what they were now.
Wei Xiao Bei was all smiles, but when Tian Xiao Mao looked at him, he thought that he was sneering in disdain.
Tian Xiao Mao knew that today was a bust as he cursed at how disappointing his students were.
However, while Tian Xiao Mao was thinking of how to salvage the situation, he heard Wei Xiao Bei who was smiling, “Your school’s students are quite good.”
Quite good?
That’s definitely sarcasm!
Tian Xiao Mao was unhappy. Wei Xiao Bei’s words were simply a slap to his face, but Tian Xiao Mao could not do anything about his disappointing students.
After returning to the parlor, Wei Xiao Bei picked up the student profile book and used a red ballpoint pen to tick beside the names.
