Thick-skinned

the owner of Li couldn't believe his ears. It felt like being struck by lightning, leaving him frozen in place.

Half a year ago

when Li Qingyang's Exceptional spiritual root was discovered, it had brought immense joy to him and his family. The Li family saw this as a source of immense pride and believed that Li Qingyang would lead their family to even greater glory.

Upon verification of his spiritual root, the Li family spared no expense in providing their son with the best resources and planning for his future. They had even decided to hold a grand recruitment event to select the most prestigious martial arts school for Li Qingyang to join.

However, fate had other plans. On the day when Li Qingyang was supposed to make his selection, he disappeared from the mansion while taking a bath and changing clothes. His father, the owner of the Li family, was infuriated by his son's sudden disappearance and searched the entire mansion in vain.

Frustration boiled within him as he wondered aloud, "Did that rascal go gallivanting around town again?"

Just when the owner of the Li family thought things couldn't get worse, a servant hurriedly burst into the room with unexpected news. "Master, our young master went to the recruitment site earlier, and he was noticed by the Azure Mountain School, a fifth-grade martial arts school. They expressed their desire to accept him as a disciple!"

The owner of the Li family was astounded by this news. The Azure Mountain School was the most prestigious martial arts school in Azure Sun County, and their acknowledgment of Li Qingyang was a tremendous honor. It was a chance for his son to achieve great renown and success.

However, the servant hesitated before delivering the next piece of information. "But, Master, our young master refused to accept the Azure Mountain School's offer."

The owner of the Li family was devastated by this revelation. The same word, 

"what?!" 

which had held different tones before, now conveyed his plummeting emotions. It was as if he had fallen from the highest peak into the deepest abyss.

"Could that child have gone mad? How could he reject the Azure Mountain School's offer?" The owner of the Li family was perplexed and anxious. He knew that this decision could impact not only his son's future but also the future of the entire Li family.

In his frustration, he rushed to the recruitment venue, hoping to find answers and understand the reasoning behind his son's unexpected choice.

The thought of his son joining a ninth-grade martial arts school was somewhat acceptable to the owner of the Li family, but the idea of him joining the Solid Strike School, which was considered nothing more than a lowly ninth-grade school, was unbearable. In his eyes, this was not just a decision that lacked foresight but one that brought shame to the Li family.

He couldn't help but sneer at the various martial factions who were witnessing this spectacle. The first genius of Azure Sun City had clearly made a grave mistake, and he, as a father, couldn't accept it.

"My son!"

The Li family's servants urgently whispered, "Please don't anger the owner any further. Leave that wretched school immediately!"

The owner of the Li family held his body firmly and pointed at Li Qingyang, his voice trembling, "My face of the Li family, you lost it all today!"

If the son joins a ninth-grade school, he can accept it, but he cannot accept joining the Solid Strike School, after all, it is only a lower most ninth-grade sect!

Not to mention, this kind of garbage martial arts not only has no future but also makes the Li family a laughing stock!

He looked at the bustling martial factions with disdain.

Azure Sun City's top genius clearly had issues, but at least his father seemed rational. He knew that joining the Solid Strike School was a shameful choice. 

Wang Jun ,while laughing, shook his fists. A family servant thinking he's sect is garbage was really unpleasant.

"Dad."

Li Qingyang said earnestly, "I am a man with good faith, since I joined the Solid Strike School, I will not leave."

The master Li's teeth were shaking with anger, and he said, "you Unfilial fool!"

Li Cangshan, an elder from Azure Mountain School, attempted to mediate, saying, "Li Gongzi, filial piety is of the utmost importance. You're defying your father's wishes.''

Li Qingyang was torn between his loyalty to his family and his determination to follow his own path.

"It's over."

Li Cangshan, the elder from Azure Mountain School, emphasized the importance of filial piety to Li Qingyang, causing inner turmoil and guilt to well up within him.

Wang Jun often smiled and said secretly, "The ducks in hand are about to fly away."

For a moment, Li Qingyang's eyes firmly said, "Father, I have followed your paved road since I was a child. Now that I am an adult, I should have my own choice."

The owner of Li pointed to the banner of the Solid Strike School and said, "Joining a ninth-grade school is your choice!"

"Yes."

Li Qingyang said seriously.

The owner of Li was almost vomiting blood with anger, and his fingers were shaking with trembling. "If you don't quit the Solid Strike now, you will lose your father in the future!"

"Li Gongzi, the Solid Strike faction has no future, so let's quit quickly."

"There are so many excellent martial arts present; any one is better than the Solid Strike sect. Don't be so stubborn."

"The owner Li is telling the truth. If something goes wrong, you will regret it forever."

"Li Gongzi, please think twice."

They emphasized that the Solid Strike faction had no future and that there were many superior martial arts schools present, any of which would be a better choice. They even brought up the Li family's age, warning that if something went wrong, Li Qingyang would regret his decision forever.

The martial artists from various factions were either genuinely concerned for Li Qingyang or simply didn't want to see a talent with top-quality spiritual roots wasted on what they considered a trash sect.

"A bunch of idiots."

Wang Jun laughed and scolded secretly.

"Master Li."

He arched out, "Your son's life should be chosen by him, as a father, you should support it, not hinder it."

"Not to mention."

He paused and said, "I don't think I am as bad as you think. if Li Gongzi joins me, his achievements will definitely be high."

"Only high or very low?"

The master Li was pressing his anger and said coldly, "Do you really think of yourself as a spring onion?"

Wang Jun often shook his head with a smile and responded, "My Solid Strike faction is not like green onions; it's more like a beautiful jade waiting to be carved."

"you!"

"A **** martial arts from lowest level, really shameless!"

"If I have such a tongue-in-mouth, why would I worry about disciples!"

The warriors of various factions scoffed.

The mocking comments from the martial artists of various factions continued, with some expressing disbelief that a low-level martial arts school like Solid Strike could make such claims.

The owner Li said in anger, "My son must have been deceived by your rhetoric when he joined the Solid Strike faction!"

Wang Jun Often laughed with a serious message, "As the leader of the Solid Strike Sect, this seat has always been a upright man for recruiting disciples, never disdain to lie."

The head of the Li family scoffed, pointing out that Wang Jun's abilities were not even suitable for entertaining his guests, let alone leading a martial arts school.

Wang Jun maintained his composure, stating, "Master Li, while our sect might not be the most prestigious, it is more than capable of teaching Li Gongzi to become a strong martial artist."

The martial artists present couldn't help but react to Wang Jun's confidence, some of them outright mocking his claims.

"I go!"

"He can really brag!"

"Li Gongzi is excellent in talent, and still wants to teach others?"

One martial artist even boldly suggested, "Li Gongzi is so talented, he could become the leader of the Solid Strike Sect and teach you how to improve your own skills!"

Everyone's contempt for Wang Jun grew more and more, but they have to admire him. He is thick-skinned in bragging, and this is also considered a talent.

The owner of the Li family is getting more and more angry, and he can't wait to point at Wang Jun with a hysterical smile and yell, but after all, it is Azure Sun City and he has a face to maintain, forcing his thoughts to calm down.

At this time, Azure Mountain Sect elder said "To make a disciple a strong one, you must first have an extraordinary understanding of martial arts. If you are so confident, you should have rich martial arts experience, right?"

This old man is trying to set me up.

Wang Jun smiled and heard that if he answered that he had martial arts experience, he would definitely make things difficult. If he did not have experience, the Li family owner would surely force his son to retire.

Hey, so tangled.
