The dojo is named "Thunder," and judging from its size, it is a private dojo, not a chain like Kyushu.

There are probably no fewer than a hundred martial arts schools of similar size in Jiangzhou City.

Shen Qian didn't pay any attention, glanced at it, and walked straight ahead.

...

Inside the Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

At this moment, in the staff waiting room, a middle-aged man was glaring angrily at a young girl across from him.

"Why aren't you taking any more orders? People are willing to pay double, what are you still being so fussy about!"

"Mr. Lei, I...I don't want to take orders from male martial artists..."

The girl in training clothes lowered her head slightly, twisting her sleeves with both hands. Although she was a little timid, she still spoke firmly.

"Who differentiates between men and women when taking orders!"

Lei said angrily, "This is a legitimate martial arts gym. You're there to spar, not to sleep with someone. What's the problem?"

"I... I just don't want to," the girl said, biting her lip and shaking her head.

"You wouldn't go to the massage parlor before, you asked to come to the sparring department yourself, and now you can't even do a good job as a sparring partner, what's the point of keeping you here?"

Lei sneered, "Fine, you're not going to take it, huh? Then you don't need to do it anymore. Pack your things and get out!"

“…Okay.” The girl nodded after a moment of silence, then turned to leave.

"You..." Seeing that the young woman was truly uncompromising, President Lei almost fainted from anger and roared, "You can leave, but this is a violation of the rules and you have to pay compensation!"

"How much...how much compensation do you want?" The girl was taken aback.

"Two hundred thousand," President Lei scoffed. "Can you come up with that?"

"I..." The girl's face was somewhat pale.

"If you can't produce it, then get to work properly. Come on, let's go to the training ground, the guests are waiting!"

After saying this with a cold laugh, Lei reached out to pull the girl.

Just as the girl was wondering what to do and wanted to back away, Boss Lei suddenly froze.

He looked down in horror and found a hand that had appeared out of nowhere, gently squeezing his palm.

The next second.

Click!

With a crisp cracking sound, Mr. Lei's hand snapped instantly.

"ah!"

Ignoring the middle-aged man writhing on the ground in pain, Chen Qian looked with a hint of helplessness at the girl whose face was gradually breaking into surprise.

"Xiao Xuan, what are you doing here?"

Shen Qian had already walked quite a distance, but under some mysterious pull, he scanned the martial arts hall with his mental power again, and that's when he discovered Jiang Xuan's presence.

The mysterious pull that exists is quite easy to explain.

After consolidating their spiritual core, martial artists, in a sense, reach the state of "harmony between man and nature" recorded in ancient texts.

One will begin to have a vague perception of certain causes and effects of fortune and misfortune.

Even Shen Qian thought that his seemingly casual stroll through Jiangzhou City, which ultimately led him to the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, was probably partly due to this reason.

"I...I'm sorry."

Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment, but finally lowered her head.

Shen Qian shook his head. Even if he thought about it, he knew that Jiang Xuan's appearance in Jiangzhou was most likely related to him. He stepped forward and rubbed the girl's head.

"It's alright. Actually, I'm quite happy to see you in Jiangzhou," Shen Qian smiled.

"Really?" Jiang Xuan looked up, her thin face framed by bright eyes.

"Um."

Seeing Shen Qian nod, Jiang Xuan seemed to have been relieved of some burden, smiled, and began to recount her experiences over the past period.

In fact, it was pretty much what Shen Qian had guessed.

After Shen Qian left Jingcheng, Jiang Xuan finally made up her mind to resign from the Kyushu Martial Arts Academy. Driven by reasons that need no explanation, she chose to come to Jiangzhou.

With Shen Qian's guidance, Jiang Xuan embarked on the path of martial arts again. Thanks to her talent and the physical enhancement potions provided by Shen Qian, she broke through to the initial stage of martial arts in just two months.

Having become a martial artist, Jiang Xuan also found a sparring job at the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, just as she had hoped.

"I thought this would save a lot of resources, and I heard from others that combat is the fastest way to improve, so..." Jiang Xuan said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Why didn't you contact me?" Shen Qian asked his only question.

"I don't want to bother you anymore," Jiang Xuan said softly.

"If that's the case, then what are you doing in Jiangzhou?" Shen Qian asked with a half-smile.

"I……"

Jiang Xuan was speechless for a moment, but a blush spread from her neck upwards.

"Wait a moment, let me take care of some miscellaneous tasks."

Shen Qian stopped teasing Jiang Xuan and appeared by the door in a flash.

On the floor, Lei, who was clutching his severed hand and preparing to sneak away through the door while the two were engrossed in their conversation, looked up in terror. "You... what do you want to do?"

"Get up, let's talk business."

Shen Qian kicked the stool next to him.

Lei gritted his teeth and simply sat down in the chair, waiting for Chen Qian to speak.

"Why didn't you call for help just now?" Shen Qian asked curiously.

"I'm a high-level martial artist, the eighth level, and I'm already the strongest here. I don't even have time to react in front of you. What's the use of calling for others?" Boss Lei said with a wry smile.

"You're quite sensible."

Shen Qian glanced at the other person with surprise, then shrugged.

“Your actions of forcing her just now angered me, so cutting off your hand is a lesson for you. Although, logically speaking, in business, there is nothing wrong with what you did, which is why I am willing to sit down and talk to you.”

"What should we talk about?" Lei had calmed down by now.

"You wait."
