An hour later.

Qin Ziling appeared at the Humen headquarters.

"What do you want to see me about?" Qin Ziling asked casually, sitting on the sofa.

Su Changhu was standing behind Qin Ziling at this moment, his posture very humble.

“Mr. Qin, our Humen has already unified the underworld of Jianghai City.”

Su Changhu immediately began by reporting on his work.

Of course, for him, this was simply a work report!

After all, having witnessed Qin Ziling's power, he now respected him, and the entire Tiger Gate respected Qin Ziling!

Since the Li Gang incident, he ordered that Qin Ziling's photo be printed out and made known to everyone in Humen, from the highest levels of Humen to the lowest street thugs, so that the message could be conveyed to everyone!

This is Mr. Qin!

Now, everyone in Humen knows Qin Ziling!

Qin Ziling was unaware of this matter, but when he came in, everyone greeted him along the way.

Hello Mr. Qin!

He didn't know what was going on, but he guessed it was Su Changhu's doing, so he didn't think much of it.

Qin Ziling took a sip of tea and then said, "By the way, I don't think anyone in Humen has been doing any shady business lately, right?"

He remembered that he had once made a demand that anyone who dared to do anything illegal should be severely punished!

Su Changhu quickly replied, "No, that's not the case! Because Mr. Qin said that these kinds of things are prohibited, I have already ordered people to investigate. Any instances of such behavior in the past have been stopped, so the Tiger Gate should not have such things now!"

Qin Ziling nodded: "Although such transactions can be very profitable, they are also extremely risky. If you get caught, it will be a devastating blow, so it's best to avoid them!"

Su Changhu quickly chimed in, "I have already explained the implications, Mr. Qin, so there is no need to worry."

Qin Ziling nodded in satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with the other party's attitude.

Of course, this doesn't refer to our attitude towards him, but rather our attitude towards implementation!

He was once a government employee and knew all too well how serious the consequences could be if he got involved with certain things!

It's best to avoid that kind of stuff!

"Is there anything else? You sounded quite anxious on the phone. What's wrong?" Qin Ziling asked.

When Su Changhu called him, his tone was somewhat serious. He could only say that he would talk to him when he arrived, and then he arranged a task for Mo Zhu and the others before rushing over.

Su Changhu's expression was solemn as he said, "This is indeed a big matter, Mr. Qin. You should know that there is a martial arts association in Jianghai City, right?"

Martial Arts Association!

I had heard someone mention Qin Ziling before, but I hadn't paid much attention to it at the time.

Thinking of this, he asked in confusion, "Martial Arts Association? Tell me about this organization, what's wrong with them?"

Seeing this, Su Changhu knew that Mr. Qin hadn't paid much attention, so he gathered his thoughts and slowly spoke.

"The Martial Arts Association is the martial arts center of Jianghai. More than 70% of Jianghai's martial artists gather there! It's a place where talents emerge in large numbers. No one dares to underestimate this power. They don't get involved in anything legal or illegal, but even the families of Jianghai City have to give them some face!"

"Moreover, the Jianghai City Martial Arts Association has been passed down for decades, and every martial artist who has emerged from it has achieved great success!"

"Even the retainers of some families are retired members of the Martial Arts Association."

"My cultivation level is already at the half-step Grandmaster level, but within the Martial Arts Association, it can only be considered as the middle level. There are many experts there, and even Grandmaster-level powerhouses are not uncommon!"

"It is said that the president of the Martial Arts Association reached the peak of the Grandmaster level several years ago!"

"Several years have passed, and the other party has been in seclusion, trying to break through the third-rank barrier and reach the threshold of the fourth-rank!"

Qin Ziling could tell that Su Changhu was indeed very wary of this martial arts association.

However, Qin Ziling lost interest when he heard him introduce the Martial Arts Association.

I thought he was incredibly strong, but it turns out the guild leader is only a Grandmaster who hasn't even reached the fourth rank.

Any one of his men could defeat the opponent!

Of course, in a small city like Jianghai, the Grandmaster level is already the ceiling.

However, the martial arts association does have a solid foundation.

"I understand. So what you said earlier is related to it?" Qin Ziling glanced at Su Changhu.

Su Changhu nodded: "That's right. Actually, the real reason is that the Martial Arts Association suddenly issued a wide call for heroes to hold a martial arts tournament."

"A martial arts tournament?" Qin Ziling frowned.

Is this Dragon Ball? A martial arts tournament?

Su Changhu nodded: "The Martial Arts Tournament hasn't been held for a long time. The last one was twenty years ago. Back then, I was just a gang leader. Grandmaster Wang Yunlong became famous from that battle!"

"Mr. Qin may not know this, but Wang Yunlong is a veteran grandmaster in Jianghai City! He reached the grandmaster realm twenty years ago, and his martial arts skills are terrifying! I heard that he has even killed a grandmaster!"

"He wasn't a member of the Martial Arts Association. Because of his outstanding performance in the Martial Arts Tournament, the Martial Arts Association formally invited Master Wang to join and promised him the position of vice president. However, Master Wang refused, saying that he didn't want to be bound by anything and was wholeheartedly pursuing the martial arts."

Qin Ziling nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Let's talk about this martial arts tournament. It's a grand event in Jianghai City and an important medium for martial artists to exchange martial arts skills. Moreover, every tournament is supported by the major families of Jianghai City. Whoever wins first place in the tournament will receive the support of all the major families! They will do their best to support you. Not only that, you will also gain the respect of all martial artists!"

As Su Changhu spoke, a hint of longing appeared in his eyes.

You won't understand the feeling of being the center of attention unless you've experienced it yourself.

Qin Ziling's brows relaxed: "So that means all martial artists can participate in this martial arts tournament?"

Su Changhu quickly shook his head: "No, that's not it. The Martial Arts Association is in charge of organizing this conference, so to qualify for participation, you need an invitation from the Martial Arts Association! Only with an invitation can you enter the conference venue!"

"So, we still need their approval?" Qin Ziling asked with interest.

“Yes.” Su Changhu nodded, then took out a black invitation book from a drawer: “Mr. Qin, please take a look, this is the invitation.”

Qin Ziling curiously took the invitation. The cover was black with several large, golden characters on it:

"A call to arms!"
