340: Chapter 340: Seeing Tyler Nash Again 340: Chapter 340: Seeing Tyler Nash Again Everest Zuck was very excited; in his earlier years, he had traveled the world precisely to find extraordinary and eminent individuals.
Moreover, he wished to join the circle of eccentrics.
It was just that he did not qualify; although he had so ability and was a disciple of the Ghost Valley Sect, the sect had declined.
And what does decline an?
It ans that no Grandmaster-level figures had erged, and without a Grandmaster, a sect could not support itself.
Without a Grandmaster, the sect could not even compare to a third-rate one.
Therefore, Everest’s generation had already been excluded from the circle of eccentrics.
Now, however, the opportunity lay before him; as long as he passed several trials, he could enter that circle.
Following the instructions that Yusuf Zuck had given over the phone, he abandoned everything and ran toward the cliff like mad.
Almost two hours later, he made it inside.
Indeed, he had actually entered this dangerous place.
Being a practitioner of internal martial arts for many years, his kung fu was not bad, so climbing a ten-ter-plus rock presented no difficulty for him, nor did an unstable chain, and he even lifted a boulder weighing a thousand catties.
Although it was very difficult, he had made it inside.
There were no guards here, no one to manage, and although many people noticed him when he entered, since he was an entry-level practitioner of internal martial arts, no one interrogated him.
Yusuf Zuck received him, then took him to Rachel Fournier’s side.
“What?
You are the senior Fournier?” When Yusuf Zuck finished introducing Rachel Fournier, Everest Zuck was shocked, referring to the not-even-thirty Rachel Fournier as a senior!
“I’m really not worthy of being called ‘senior’; you mustn’t jinx my longevity!” Rachel Fournier waved her hand.
“No, no, no, Ei is rightfully orthodox, and your great na in the martial world resonates like thunder.
The Thirty-six Heavenly Acupuncture Points thod is unparalleled in the world,” Everest Zuck repeatedly bowed and clasped his hands.
“You seem to know quite a bit.” Rachel Fournier smiled faintly; her unique skill was indeed the Thirty-six Heavenly Acupuncture Points thod, a skill known for its precise strikes.
Competing against her ant you had to be careful of her hitting your acupuncture points, for if she hit a lethal point, you would undoubtedly die.
“Although I am not part of the martial world, my respect for its people is imnse,” Everest said admiringly.
“The two of you, if anyone asks, just say I brought you in, I am the introducer, hmm, though usually no one asks.
As long as you can co in and don’t disclose our secrets, that’s fine,” Rachel Fournier stood up at this point because many people were also standing up, looking towards the east.
The morning sun rose from the horizon; from afar, as everyone watched the sunrise, they all seed to be imrsed in the wonderful beauty of the scene.
Daylight ca, the morning sun rose in the east, and the night’s humidity gradually evaporated, leaving everyone feeling warm and cozy.
So people began their morning practice—so were punching, so breathing and ditating, and so sparring.
Yusuf even saw people practicing Monkey Fist, Eagle Claw, and the like, each emanating a very strong presence.
There were also those on the sidelines providing guidance and encouragent.
Rachel Fournier left for a mont and, after a little while, returned and asked Yusuf and Everest to follow her.
“Shortly, they will register you both.
With many people arriving this ti, the organizers need to register everyone for record-keeping,” Rachel explained.
“Does that an that apart from us two, there are other people here for the first ti as well?” Yusuf asked curiously.
“More than that.
So have co even before entering the threshold.
There are quite a number of people this ti, it’s likely to exceed six hundred.
Haven’t you noticed the continuous arrival of large groups of people?” Rachel Fournier said, pursing her lips.
“Oh, so they’ve been found.” The two of them nodded, suggesting that this exchange conference would be quite the grand event.
The two were led by Rachel Fournier into a thatched hut, where several staff mbers were inside.
Among them, one was taking notes with a fountain pen, and there was also one recording information on a laptop.
“He is Yusuf Zuck, and he is Everest Zuck.
Both are from the Ghost Valley Sect, my friends!” Rachel Fournier pointed to Yusuf and Everest as she spoke.
“mbers of the Ghost Valley Sect?” Upon hearing these four words, the interrogator gave Yusuf and Everest a few more glances, then nodded and said, “After the death of the master ‘Yun Chanzi’ from the Ghost Valley Sect, no one has attended our exchange conference.
Hmm, your presence this ti can be seen as a return.”
“Yun Chanzi was my master’s master!” Everest said excitedly.
“Heh, you Ghost Valley Sect have been worldly for far too long.
It’s no wonder you haven’t achieved great success,” the man sneered.
Everest was taken aback but dared not lash out.
He still had to cup his fists in a gesture of respect.
Yusuf, however, was not one to be easily embarrassed or to lose face even in the face of death.
Now that he had been recorded as a mber of the Ghost Valley Sect, and soone had just made a sarcastic comnt, he coldly chuckled and said, “May I ask, which sect are you from?”
“Shandong Wang clan, Dragon Gate!” the man declared proudly.
Yusuf curled his lip, “Never heard of it.”
“You…” Reputation and face an everything to the martial world.
The Shandong Wang clan’s Dragon Gate was well-known in the martial world, and they were also one of the organizers of this event.
To say that he had never heard of his sect was akin to slapping him in the face without giving him any respect.
“Let’s go outside,” Rachel Fournier intervened to smooth things over, a smile playing at her lips.
She liked Yusuf’s temperant; martial artists should carry that kind of unyielding pride, always believing they are the best in the world.
If they were ek and deferential to everyone, always calling others their seniors, that would be akin to lowering their own status.
The mber of the Dragon Gate from the Shandong Wang clan seed to have so fear of Rachel Fournier, only giving Yusuf a cold look before saying no more.
As the three walked out of the thatched hut, Everest wore a wry smile.
Yusuf, pretending to be a mber of his Ghost Valley Sect, had just managed to offend the Shandong Wang clan.
“The Shandong Wang clan’s Dragon Gate refers to the Dragon Gate Escort Agency.
Before the Republic, the Shandong Wang clan made their living from escorting goods, and the clan’s head at the ti was a grandmaster, known for his chivalry and wide network of friends.”
“The Wang clan no longer works in escorting, but their legacy of the Dragon Gate has been passed down.
They have two tigers, both grandmasters!” Everest seed to know a lot about them, spilling all the details outright.
“How do you know all this?” Yusuf asked, curious.
“I usually pay a lot of attention to these things.
After all, I’m part of the martial world too.
But you’ve really put in a spot now.
Also, don’t stir up trouble these next few days.
I have a bad feeling, as if sothing’s about to happen.
I’ll definitely need to do so divination later!” Everest spoke with a grave tone.
A bad premonition was an ominous sign, and his were usually accurate.
“Hahaha, Harley, you’ve arrived quite early!” Just as the three had stepped out of the hut, with Everest feeling worried, a group of people approached from a distance.
The person at the forefront was smiling and greeting Harley Strong!
Rachel Fournier responded with a smile and a clasped-hand salute, but before she could speak, soone from the group suddenly dashed out, drawing a sword and slashing towards Yusuf Zuck, who was behind Rachel!
“Yusuf Zuck, you bastard, I’ll kill you…”
The sudden turn of events bewildered everyone, including Yusuf, because he saw soone he did not want to see.
There was Tyler Nash from the Nash family!
Yes, it was Tyler Nash.
He was among the group, and upon seeing Yusuf, he imdiately went on the offensive!
