Chapter 28: Origin

The incident regarding Zhao Yuan has been resolved. 。

Although he did not know how Ning Qiu Tong resolved the matter, he relaxed after waiting for 2 days and the police didn't appear.

Aunty Zhang was suspicious as to why Chen Xi did not go to work these 2 days. Although she was temporary convinced by Chen Xi, she would still have her doubts if Chen Xi continued to stay at home.

Hence, Chen Xi thought for a while before contacting Ning Qiu Tong. He decided to begin the treatment for Ning Zhong Guo and return the favor while he was at it.

Early morning, the driver sent by Ning Xiu Tong was already waiting at the district gate.

The little kiddo knew that Papa was going to work so, she mimicked Aunty Zhang and childishly reminded him, "Papa do a good job and come back early. We will wait for you to have dinner."

"Nian Nian is so good. Come, give me a kiss."

Chen Xi pointed at his cheek and only when the little kiddo gave him a kiss did he walk out of the house happily.

After getting into the car, the driver directly brought him to Jin Cheng Court.

However, the treatment he received this time was largely different from the previous occasion.

Once the car came to a halt, Ning Qiu Tong politely opened the car door for Chen Xi.

She still felt somewhat awkward and her face involuntarily redden when Chen Xi gave her a glance.

"Mr Chen, sorry for the trouble."

To conceal her awkwardness, Ning Qiu Tong slightly shifted her gaze and dare not made eye contact with Chen Xi.

"It's alright."

Chen Xi nodded and under Ning Qiu Tong's lead, he entered the villa once again.

As Ning Zhong Guo was still recovering from the surgery, he could not welcome Chen Xi at the door. Hence, Ning Qiu Tong directly brought him to Ning Zhong Guo's room.

"Mr Chen, sorry about it. We have eyes but do not see. I hope you don't mind…"

While speaking, he also wanted to sit up.

However, this move of his has affected the recovering injury. Instantly, his face turned pale and he could not help but let out a stuffy groan.

"Dad, don't move heedlessly, I'll help you." Ning Qiu Tong ran up to Ning Zhong Guo and hastily helped him up.

"It's fine, you don't have to be so formal. After all, you guys have helped me too."

Chen Xi nodded and walked to Ning Zhong Guo. Next, he held onto his wrist and felt his pulse.

Ning Zhong Guo's condition was truly much better.

That surgery had triggered the hidden illness in his body. However, he consumed the Qi Replenishing pill on time, controlling the hidden danger. Hence, his current condition was looked more optimistic than previously.

"Qiu Tong, you go out first. Dad has something to talk to Mr Chen personally."

While Chen Xi was measuring Ning Zhong Guo's pulse, Ning Zhong Guo suddenly asked Ning Qiu Tong to step out for a while.

Though perplexed and somewhat hesitant, Ning Qiu Tong still obediently exited the room.

Evidently, Ning Zhong Guo didn't want Ning Qiu Tong to know about some things. Hence, after Ning Qiu Tong left, Chen Xi calmly asked, "Mr Ning, who injured you?"

Hearing this, Ning Zhong Guo immediately laughed and sighed, "You found out?"

"Normally, the human body should have the most basic self- repair function. However, after the injury, instead of recovering, your body condition continued to deteriorate. To be able to last till now, you must have taken a medicine that can temporarily suppress the injury, right?"

"Indeed. Fortunately, I met a cultivator. Otherwise, I would not have survived past 50…"

"Cultivator?"

“Yes, a hidden cultivator. He gave me a pill and it was quite similar to yours, both are able to suppress the injury."

Hearing this, Chen Xi was stunned for a moment.

What he gave Ning Zhong Guo was the Qi Replenishing pill that was refined from the ways of the cultivators. Although healing an injury was just an additional effect, it was still much effective than all the other medicines on Earth.

Someone on earth can actually refine such a similar medicinal pill?

Thinking of this matter, Chen Xi continued to ask, "The one who injured you, who is it?"

“It is a Transformation Energy Expert from the Southern Coastal Provinces. 3 years ago, I went there for a business deal. However, I accidentally offended him and was plotted against, which planted the root of my illness."

"Transformation Energy Expert? What kind of thing is that?"

This time around, it was Ning Zhong Guo who was stunned.

After hearing Chen Xi's question, he immediately looked at Chen Xi with a slightly surprised look and tested him, "Mr Chen, are you not from the Martial Arts World?”

"Martial Arts World?" Chen Xi was slightly perplexed.

Seeing that he was not faking his expression, though there were still some doubts in his heart, he explained, "Although the cold weapons era had long passed, traditional martial arts still remain. The Transformation Energy Experts I'm talking about are not those fakes that only know how to make a few fancy moves. The true expert is able to break a 2cm thick metal plate with just a palm strike, a punch to snap a tree with a thickness of a bowl. You can say that they have exceeded the limits of mankind and are standing on a totally different level."

After hearing his words, Chen Xi doubtfully asked, "So powerful? How come I've never heard of it before? If so, then wouldn't all of them be Olympic champions?"

"To be able to ask such a question, Mr Chen, it looks you are really not from the Martial Arts world…"

Ning Zhong Guo looked at the bewildered Chen Xi and suddenly asked, "How much do you know about the Crackdown?"

"The Crackdown? I'm not too sure, I wasn't even born at that time…"

"Hehe, then this may be a long story."

Under Ning Zhong Guo’s explanation, the 3 words, Martial Arts World, gradually lifted its mysterious veil before Chen Xi.

The martial arts in Hua Xia had a long history to it, it can be traced all the way back to the Xia Dynasty. However, the martial arts at that time looked more like dancing.

It was not until when Hua Tuo created the Five Beasts Exercise. From there, China Martial Arts finally welcomed leaping developments and since then, several Martial Arts schools have been established and varying types of martial arts emerged. It could also be said that an innumerable amount of Martial Arts Expert have left their names in the perpetual flow of history.

The last peak of the Martial Arts World took place during the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, experts came forth in large numbers and masters all gathered together. It was known as the best era to practice martial arts.

Gradually, the entire human society started to change from the cold weapons era into the hot weapons era. When a young boy was able to kill an experienced and highly trained Martial Arts Expert with a gun with ease, the Martial Arts World was fated to walk the path of doom.

However, a decline does not necessarily mean extinction.

The real reason behind the disappearance of the Martial Arts World was that normal people didn't know other than performing, martial arts can also be used to kill, is actually due to the emergence of a country's special organization. (Martial arts was lost not because it lost effectiveness but because of an emerging organisation.)

Martial Union, better known as International Martial Arts Federation ( international-wushu-federation ), is called IWUF. Established in the capital of China on October 3, 1990. At the beginning of the establishment, it announced to the outside that the organization aimed to motivate the union and unification of each countries' and regions' martial arts associations. It also aimed to promote the development organizations of martial arts.

But in fact, only the Martial Artist in the Martial Arts World know that this seemingly common organization to the average person is actually hiding something.

The establishment of the Martial Arts Federation was simply due to an old saying.

A hero is prohibited from using martial arts to commit a crime.

During the 80 to 90 century, the internal stability within China was volatile.

A few highly trained Martial Artist exploited and oppressed the civilians, completely disregarding the country's law and doing however they please.

A vast and magnificent country had to be cautious of both external and internal threats, causing its people great sufferings and hardships.

During this time of crisis, the country's leader immediately made a decision and dealt a heavy blow to the evil organizations within the country, returning the long deserving peace to its people.

The open, severe and strict execution effectively restored the peaceful atmosphere within the country in a mere one short year.

The police could still arrest normal criminals, however, as for Martial Experts who have committed crimes, the police could not help but lack the capability to capture them.

In this situation, the country once again made an order to establish the 6th Security Division.

6th Security Division, a special department under the Ministry of State Security, which specifically aims at Martial Experts who have violated the law.

Since the day of its birth, the Martial Arts World in Hua Xia has welcomed an eternal nightmare.

Under the supervision of the 6th Security Division, every aristocratic family, sect and hidden cultivators obediently retracted their own claws and became as honest as a domestic kitten. Every action and every move were firmly controlled by the country.

After one year, it had finally ended. The social atmosphere across the entire country could be said to have received a baptism, cheers and praises erupted from the masses.

Although the Crackdown had ended, the fearsome 6th Security Division within the Martial Arts World did not dissipate but instead, it emerged from the darkness and with a swing of its body, it became the International Martial Arts Federation. It took its place on the stage and became an international colossal organization. It even frequently organized a few meaningless Martial Arts tournament.

In the dark, however, the Martial Federation still has its previous authority over the supervision of the order within the Martial Arts World, so as to prevent the happening of the tyranny of Martial Artists.

The Sword of Damocles that hovered on the head of Hua Xia's Martial Arts World had also truly purged Hua Xia's state of peace and orderliness.
