On this day.
Somewhere.
At some military hospital.
Even though it was already spring, it was still not that warm out yet in the morning. Light drizzle was falling outside. Zhang Ye was carrying an umbrella and wearing sunglasses as he strolled into the hospital. After he folded the umbrella, he took a beaded bracelet out from his pocket and went looking for Rao Aimin\'s ward.
Before he walked in, he heard people talking inside.
"Madam Rao, you can\'t be discharged yet!"
"Why not?"
"There are still many tests that we have not conducted, and two more bottles of medication to finish."
"Don\'t try to bullshit me. Go and process the paperwork for my discharge. I want to leave by the afternoon. Other than that, just what kinds of meals does your hospital provide here? Did you scoop it up from the drain or something? You should change the cook as soon as possible."
"You mustn\'t get out of bed!"
"But I\'ve already recovered."
"You were in a coma for several days. You don\'t have any strength as of now and still require further treatment!"
"I have no strength?"
A loud thud reverberated!
It sounded like something had been flattened!
"Damn."
"Senior Sis."
"Just listen to the doctor, please!"
The ward\'s door opened and that doctor strode out angrily, close to vomiting blood.
Several of the medical personnel standing a distance away looked over.
"Doctor Zhou, what\'s the matter?" a nurse asked.
Stressed, a female physician said, "Bed 13\'s Ms. Rao is kicking up a storm again?"
"That woman in Bed 13 has already driven away two doctors!" the chief nurse said, discouraged.
At his wits\' end, Doctor Zhou said, "Just ignore her from now on. If she wishes to be discharged, then let her get discharged."
"How can we do that?" That female physician tried to go by the medical ethics. "We have to be responsible to our patients. Even though the patient in Bed 13 is rather hot-headed and has a sharp tongue, she is still our patient!"
Doctor Zhou said furiously, "Have you ever seen a patient who just regained consciousness after several days flatten a stainless steel lunch box?" He then waved his hand and ordered, "Get her discharged quickly. With that powerful constitution of hers, if we treat her as a patient, then the rest of the world must be disabled!"
The nurse: "…"
The female physician: "…"
Zhang Ye: "…"
This Old Rao! Why is she always so troublesome!
Zhang Ye pushed the door open and went inside.
This was a single person ward.
The disciples from the Eight Trigrams School were all inside. When they saw Zhang Ye, everyone got excited!
"Aiyo!"
"Teacher Zhang is back!"
"How did it go, Master Zhang?"
"Are you hurt in any way?"
"Teacher Zhang, you were so amazing!"
"You\'ve really helped us vent our anger!"
Everyone stood up to welcome him like they were celebrating a hero\'s return. Zhang Ye had been away for half a month now, and although they did not accompany him on his road trip, they were still a part of the martial arts community. They could even be called the main party involved in this incident, so while the ordinary folk did not know about it, or even if the outside world\'s news did not report about it, how could they not know of the glorious deeds that Zhang Ye did in his time away? He had essentially gone to thrash more than a dozen martial sects and routed them all! Several of the younger disciples of the Eight Trigrams School were even looking at Zhang Ye as though he were a god of some kind. The events that occurred in recent days had left a very deep impression upon them! And it felt really good too!
Xu Fan brought over a chair. "Master Zhang, please, have a seat!"
Zhang Ye sat down and smiled as he pointed at a gauze covering his left arm, and said, "It\'s nothing, just slightly wounded."
Song Jiao and the rest heaved sighs of relief. "That\'s good then, good."
On the sickbed, Rao Aimin, who was watching Chenchen do her homework, glanced over as well. "You\'re back?"
Beside her, a stainless steel lunch box lay there misshapen after being flattened by her.
"How are you doing?" Zhang Ye asked.
Rao Aimin looked rather well. She tilted her chin upward. "I\'m not dead."
Zhang Ye nodded. "I suppose you aren\'t."
Lu Yuhu smacked his lips and said, "The doctor says that she can\'t be discharged yet, but Eldest Senior Sis keeps insisting on being discharged."
Zhang Ye laughed and said, "I overheard the doctor say that they\'re already processing her discharge. I think it\'s because they\'re afraid that your eldest senior sis will tear the hospital apart if they don\'t!"
Chenchen also raised her head at this moment and greeted him. "Zhang Ye."
"Whoa, you\'re studying?" Zhang Ye looked at her.
Chenchen acknowledged him and suddenly turned her gaze to the bracelet in his hand. "Zhang Ye, what is that?"
Zhang Ye looked down, then held it up and said, "This? It\'s a bracelet. I\'ll give it to you since you like it." He then threw it at her indifferently.
Lu Yuhu caught it for Chenchen and held it up to inspect it. "Yo, is this made from fragrant rosewood?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yeah, it is."
"It looks like it is even made from old growth wood?" Lu Yuhu said, "It\'s quite big too. This should be quite valuable."
Zhang Ye replied, "You like it also? I\'ll give you one too since you like it." He felt around in his bag, taking out another similar looking bracelet and throwing it to him. "Who else wants one?"
"How many of those do you have?" Xu Fan was astonished.
Song Jiao also wondered, "Didn\'t you go out to thrash those large sects? Why did you bring back so many local souvenirs with you?"
The eldest and second senior brothers, along with the others, were also very curious.
Zhang Ye sighed and then mentioned something that nearly gave the entire Eight Trigrams Palm\'s disciples heart attacks. "What local souvenirs? I went to the Huashan Sect to destroy their sect\'s plaque, but when I saw that it was made of fragrant rosewood, I took it instead and got it made into these beaded bracelets!" He threw his bag onto the table and rummaged through it before pouring out more than a dozen beaded rosewood bracelets. "I\'ll keep one for myself. Feel free to take one of the rest for yourself."
Song Jiao was dumbfounded!
Xu Fan was dumbfounded!
Everyone from the Eight Trigrams School was dumbfounded!
Fuck, are you serious?
The Huashan Sect\'s plaque that had been handed down for hundreds of years was turned into these beaded bracelets by you?
Turned into these beaded rosewood bracelets?
Into these beaded rosewood bracelets?
Beaded rosewood bracelets?
Lu Yuhu was holding the beaded bracelet he had just caught. His hands trembled. He nearly passed out, but said with a quavering voice, "Teacher Zhang, they must gone through eight lifetimes of tribulations when they encountered you this time!
...
At a small sect.
"Have you heard?"
"The Huashan Sect has been taken down too!"
"Yeah, I heard about it! How scary!"
"The people from the National Martial Arts Association who went to back them up were beaten up as well!"
"Zhang Ye has gone crazy this time!"
"You\'re making it sound like he\'s ever once been normal!"
"Yeah, I\'ve watched him on television since last year. If you\'ve ever read his Weibo and know about his past deeds, you\'d know that he\'s always been a madman!"
"We were lucky to not have attended the recent National Martial Arts Conference."
"The entire martial arts community has been thrown into disarray! I heard that the National Martial Arts Association intended to ask the remaining two grandmasters to deal with Zhang Ye, but I doubt that plan will come to fruition!"
"It\'s impossible to get those two anyway. Besides, even if they did, what\'s the point? Don\'t forget how old Zhang Ye is. He\'s already achieved concealed power, and is also practicing the martial arts style of the Taiji Fist. Who knows if he\'ll become a grandmaster too in the near future. Would a Taiji Fist grandmaster still have any worthy opponents in this entire world? Even at his current state, he could force a draw with a grandmaster. Moreover, Rao Aimin will be discharged from hospital soon as well! If those two were to join forces and set their eyes on the entire country….No, set their eyes on the world, there wouldn\'t be any worthy opponents for them! How can anyone take them on!"
"Indeed!"
"The large sects couldn\'t even take their vengeance!"
"They deserved it for being bullies in the first place. It was already a deathmatch, so why did they still resort to using sneak attacks! Hearing about it just makes my blood run cold! Those large sects threw good money after bad! They\'ve bumped into a tough opponent!"
...
At a gathering of some non-affiliates.
Liu Yiquan wiped his sweat away and said, "Old Bro Zhang Ye has taken down the Huashan Sect as well!"
"How many is that already?" Liu Yizhang didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry as he started counting on his fingers.
Beside him, Li Quanneng said, "It\'s the sixteenth!"
He Badao said in awe, "All sixteen sects that went after them in the hills have been annihilated by Bro Zhang Ye! None survived!"
"How freaking awesome!"
"Yeah!"
"Zhang Ye\'s martial arts are ridiculously good!"
"It\'s not only that his martial arts are good. There have been a lot of people in history who were more skilled than Zhang Ye, but how many have dared to go up to each of those reputable sects to thrash them and smash their plaques? Only Zhang Ye decided to do that! Not only his kung fu, Zhang Ye is also the most audacious one of all!"
One person!
Sweeping away a dozen of those reputable large sects?
What awesome was that!
How domineering was that!
However, the even more domineering act was yet to come.
...
Some of those in the martial arts community who were better informed suddenly received a shocking piece of news. This news even dumbfounded some of them for a long time, making them unable to come back to their senses and forcing them to drop their jaws!
"The large sects have been slapped ruthlessly in the face this time!"
"Yes, whether it is Shaolin or Huashan, a martial sect getting its plaque smashed is something that is considered really terrible in the Chinese martial arts world. What\'s more, Zhang Ye even smashed 16 of their plaques all by himself?"
"Only 15 were smashed."
"Right, he didn\'t dare smash the Huashan Sect\'s plaque!"
"I heard about that too. Sounds like only the Huashan Sect was let off the hook this time. Their plaque was taken away by Zhang Ye instead of being smashed. I guess even Zhang Ye did not dare go overboard with a sect that still has a grandmaster as its leader. Hur hur, judging from that action, that\'s all he\'s got. He\'s also a bully."
Suddenly, someone broke the news!
"What are you all saying? A bully?"
"Is that not so?"
"Pfft! You guys don\'t know shit!"
"Eh? What are you trying to say here?"
"I just received a very reliable piece of news! The Huashan Sect was the unluckiest of all the sects that were targeted! After Zhang Ye left, he found a wood processing factory at the foot of the mountain and got them to make that fragrant rosewood plaque of the Huashan Sect into beaded bracelets! My god, made into beaded bracelets! Tell me now, how is he a bully!?"
"What?"
"Holy fuck!"
"Are you serious?"
"Of course I\'m serious! The news spread a while ago! I think that a lot of people have already found out about this too!"
"Heavens!"
"Holy shit!"
"This…this…"
"Just what sort of a person is that man!"
...
Meanwhile.
Roars of anger and piercing screams resounded within the Huashan Sect!
When a few of the Huashan Sect\'s disciples found out about this news, they fainted to the ground with a thud!
"Zhang Ye!"
"Fuck your grandpa!"
"You\'re too damn evil!"
"That\'s the plaque handed down by our ancestral founder!"
"We\'re your sworn enemy!"
"Despicable!"
"How despicable!"
"Sworn enemies!"
Fan Wen was enraged!
Chen Xi was extremely infuriated and coughed for a full minute, worsening some of his healed injuries!
...
Elsewhere.
The other large sects were also cursing and swearing!
"He\'s really pushing it too far! Pushing it too far!"
"Does he still abide by the laws? Does he even know about the code of the martial arts community?"
"What he did was even more evil than taking someone\'s life!"
"The Huashan Sect\'s plaque was made into beaded bracelets? Fuck! He\'s really gone too far, how can he do that! His lack of morals must have stretched across eight lifetimes!"
But while they cursed and swore, some of those large sects\' disciples were also secretly feeling lucky and a lingering sense of fear. They were fortunate that at the time of the founding of their martial sects, the ancestral founders did not have much money and had only used some simple wooden materials for their plaques. If it had been some good material like the Huashan Sect\'s plaque, all these large sects\' plaques would probably have been taken away by Zhang Ye to make tables, chairs, benches, or some treasured furniture. If that had happened, it would have caused a huge uproar and they would probably vomit at least three liters of blood! Who could bear with something like that!
This was not just simply face smacking anymore!
It was face trampling!
Trampling on the face step by step!
If Zhang Ye\'s attack on the 16 sects was said to be a shocking event in the Chinese martial arts world!
Then Zhang Ye using the Huashan Sect\'s plaque and turning it into beaded bracelets was something that disintegrated the entire Chinese martial arts world. The National Martial Arts Association, and people of the various martial sects and non-affiliates, all nearly passed out from Zhang Ye\'s shamelessness. But they were also astonished by Zhang Ye\'s guts! It was only now that many of those in the martial arts community truly knew just what kind of a hooligan had arrived in their Chinese martial arts world!
After this incident, Zhang Ye became even more infamous in the Chinese martial arts world!
In the current Chinese martial arts world, there were two phrases that must never be mentioned ever again!
One was "old pal, open up"!
And the other was "beaded rosewood bracelets"!
Overnight, Zhang Ye had become a man who struck fear into the hearts of the martial arts community when mentioned! Moreover, everyone knew that the incident this time would surely be recorded into the annals of Chinese martial arts history and forever be a painful history for those 16 martial sects!
