<h4>Chapter 1152: Chapter 1159: Martial Arts Hall Master</h4>


    Tong Zhentian’s eyes brightened, unable to suppress his excitement, he asked, "You... you really willing to do this?"


    "Why not?" Ling Chen smiled slightly, "My purpose in doing this, besides reducing the influence of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, is also to contribute a little to Huaxia’s Martial Arts. I know that now Huaxia’s Martial Arts world is gradually declining, and many styles have already lost their lineage. As you said, if no action is taken, in decades or even a hundred years, Huaxia’s Martial Arts might really turn into mere flower fists and embroidery legs. I think this is not the oue we wish to see."


    "Well said." Tong Zhentian said with great interest, "Many practitioners regard their Martial Arts as a valuable treasure, reluctant to pass it on to others. But when this treasure bes worthless, who would painstakingly keep it? Ling Chen, I was not wrong about you, your idea is excellent, if nothing unexpected happens, the next fifty years will be the most glorious time for Huaxia’s Martial Arts world."


    "Elder Tong, it’s too early to say this now. Whether Dragon Tiger Hall can rise, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is key." Ling Chen didn’t speak inly, but with Tong Zhentian’s experience, he should understand his meaning.


    If the rise of Dragon Tiger Hall harms the interests of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, they certainly won’t stand by silently but will take action. Therefore, if this issue cannot be resolved, Dragon Tiger Hall might be strangled by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.


    Tong Zhentian obviously realized this difficulty too, his face darkened, and he remained silent for a long time.


    After a while, Tong Zhentian’s gaze suddenly became determined. He looked at Ling Chen and said, "This is a rare opportunity for Huaxia’s Martial Arts world, I won’t let anyone ruin it, not even the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion only considers its own interests, never thinking about the future of Huaxia’s Martial Arts world. As the saying goes, different paths cannot run together, if the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion dares to do anything that harms the interests of the Martial Arts world, I absolutely won’t sit idly by. Ling Chen, if you think this old man still has some use, why not arrange a position for me in Dragon Tiger Hall? Anyone who dares to trouble Dragon Tiger Hall should weigh if they are up to it."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t suppress his joy and asked, "Really?"


    Tong Zhentian nodded and said, "What you are doing is a good deed, a great cause benefiting Huaxia’s Martial Arts world, and it’s also my life-long goal. I thought I might not live to see the day Huaxia’s Martial Arts rise, but you let me see hope. However, let me put the ugly words first, if I find out your actions are different from what you said, then don’t me me for being impolite."


    "Elder Tong, rest assured, I won’t disappoint you." Ling Chen hurriedly promised.


    That’s wonderful!


    This is definitely a pleasant surprise. Initially, he just wanted to invite Tong Zhentian to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Dragon Tiger Hall. For this, he had been worrying, not knowing how to persuade Tong Zhentian. After all, Tong Zhentian’s rtionship with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was well-known. But what he didn’t expect was that Tong Zhentian not only would attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony but also voluntarily requested to hold a position at Dragon Tiger Hall. What does this mean?


    Starting today, Tong Zhentian will be the Heavenly List master stationed at Dragon Tiger Hall. Anyone intending trouble for Dragon Tiger Hall must weigh their own capabilities. Moreover, with Tong Zhentian and Ji Gang, Dragon Tiger Hall will have two Heavenly List masters. Currently, there are only three or four Heavenly List masters in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.


    Thinking of this, Ling Chen is filled with confidence in the future of Dragon Tiger Hall.


    "Elder Tong, since you are willing to join Dragon Tiger Hall, then you must assume the position of Martial Arts Hall Master, you definitely cannot decline."


    "I can be the Martial Arts Hall Master, anyway I’m just here to boost your prestige, but let me dere, I’m not taking care of things. I’m too old now, and don’t have much energy."


    "Of course, Dragon Tiger Hall has specialized people to manage, you just need to asionally guide everyone. The guidance of a Heavenly List master will surely attract many Martial Arts enthusiasts."


    Hearing this, Tong Zhentian couldn’t help butugh and scold, "You little rascal... so quickly you begin to dig into my value."


    Ling Chen rubbed his nose, embarrassed, and smiled, "We have limited resources now, naturally we must make the most use of them."


    "Alright! I won’t bicker with you about these things, when do you n to open Dragon Tiger Hall?"


    "In a couple of days. Since you’ve assumed the position of Martial Arts Hall Master, we must publicize it well, expand the influence, and let more people know. Moreover, I still have many things to prepare."


    "Alright, remember to inform me on the day of the ribbon-cutting, I’ll be staying at the hotel these days."


    After driving Tong Zhentian back to the hotel, Ling Chen made several calls instructing Tang Guolun to prepare what was needed for the ribbon-cutting day. In addition, Ling Chen specifically called Qiu Yong.


    During this period, Qiu Yong and others have been busy helping with the promotion. The eight peculiar figures are very famous in the Martial Arts world and have wide connections, with their help in promotion, it’s twice the result with half the effort.


    Arranging everything, Ling Chen let out a long sigh. Thinking about the imminent opening of Dragon Tiger Hall, Ling Chen’s heart did not feel excited, but rather anxious. As for the object of his anxiety, there is no doubt it is the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.


    With the intelligencework of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, they must already know about Dragon Tiger Hall, wondering what actions they might take.


    After consultation, Ling Chen and others decided to hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony three dayster. If it were before, Ling Chen could only rely on promotion to attract the attention of Martial Arts enthusiasts. But now it’s different, with Tong Zhentian as the Martial Arts Hall Master of Dragon Tiger Hall, any Martial Arts enthusiast must give Tong Zhentian face.


    Moreover, Tong Zhentian instructed Ling Chen that there are still quite a few significant figures in the Martial Arts world, although notparable to him, their influence is not weak. ording to Martial Arts rules, invitations must be delivered to these notable figures personally.


    Having to deal with these misceneous matters, Ling Chen hasn’t returned home for several days, eating and sleeping at Dragon Tiger Hall.


    Fortunately, Ling Chen has many people tomand, with everyone’s efforts, the venue was arranged in less than two days, and everything was ready.


    Meanwhile, Martial Arts enthusiastsing to attend the ribbon-cutting of Dragon Tiger Hall are arriving in East Sea City one after another.


    At the airport, station, Ling Chen has assigned personnel specifically for reception, providing dedicated transport. Through Nanrong Wanqing’s connection, Ling Chen even reserved the most luxurious five-star hotel in East Sea City, just to give guests the mostfortable treatment.


    "Ling Chen, tomorrow morning, several important figures will arrive in East Sea City, don’t forget to greet them personally," Tong Zhentian exined over the phone.


    "Elder Tong, rest assured, I’ve noted it down, such important matters definitely won’t be forgotten," Ling Chen replied.
