<h4>Chapter 96: Chairman Zhao</h4>


    The Nine Cauldrons Commerce offered a price of fifty billion, and Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction. This price was a bit higher than what the Shura Martial Institute had offered, as Nine Cauldrons Commerce specialized in business and had a broaderwork, making it more capable of exploring the value of materials.


    Chu Feng quickly received a transfer of forty billion and ten Thousand Refinement Pills,pleting the transaction.


    Ye Xuan was in a hurry to report back to her family. She bid farewell to Chu Feng, making an appointment to meet in Jiangning, and then hastily left.


    Chu Feng returned to the cultivation chamber, swallowed a radiant golden Thousand Refinement Pill, activated the Dragon Forging Body Technique, and began to condense his bones.


    ...


    The next morning, while Chu Feng was immersed in cultivation, he suddenly heard a loud salute of cannons. The thunderous sounds echoed like heavenly thunder, continuing for twenty-one rounds, and even after that, the reverberations continued, giving off a majestic and momentous atmosphere.


    Curious, Chu Feng, after enjoying a hot shower and changing into clean clothes, decided to see what extraordinary event had urred.


    After thirty-six rounds of cannon salutes, the sounds finally ceased.


    Just as he rxed his brows, he sensed something unusual when a continuous and melodious honking of cars started again.


    "Hmm, sounds like it''s near my home?"


    Chu Feng wondered, and as he stepped out of his house, he saw a row of high-end cars parked in front of his door—nine in total. The honking sounds came from these cars.


    Outside the vi, a crowd had gathered, whispering among themselves.


    "Thirty-six rounds of cannons and nine honks, this is the etiquette for saluting the martial arts champion!"


    "So, we actually have a martial arts champion from Qingzhou? That''s unlikely!"


    "Hmm? Who said it''s unlikely? We, Qingzhou, had the first prodigy, Chu Feng, who defeated the town lord in three moves. Doesn''t he deserve the title of martial arts champion?"


    "Good heavens! This must be Chu Feng who has risen to fame. He actually won the martial arts champion in the Jiangnan province!"


    The news that Chu Feng had be the martial arts champion quickly spread, causing a sensation in Qingzhou City.


    After the final honk, the well-dressed security personnel opened the doors of the leading luxury cars.


    From the first car stepped out a man with a towering stature, a breath as vast as the sea, each step seeming to conform to thews of heaven and earth.


    With every gesture, he exuded a powerful aura.


    Chu Feng''s pupils immediately contracted. The strength of this person was absolutely the strongest he had ever seen among numerous experts.


    The martial arts power was beyond his imagination.


    The man had bright eyes, as if capable of seeing through all secrets. Soon, his gaze focused on Chu Feng.


    "I presume this young friend must be Chu Feng? Truly extraordinary! Congrattions on winning the martial arts champion in Jiangnan province!" The loud voice, tinged with admiration, resounded like thunder.


    The surroundings fell silent in an instant.


    Chu Feng, feeling a mix of shock and excitement, saw through the situation. Ye Xuan''s information was not only fast but also urate!


    Chu Run''s small mouth gaped open like she could swallow an egg, shocked and excited, and followed by an indescribable sense of pride.


    Chu Feng was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted. It seemed that Ye Xuan''s information was not only fast but also urate!


    Qingzhou Martial Association''s Luo Changfeng quickly sent a meaningful look, smiling as he said, "Chu Feng, what are you dawdling for? This is Zhao Kongming, the chairman of the Jiangnan Province Martial Association. Hurry up and pay your respects."


    The chairman of the Jiangnan Province Martial Association had actuallye in person to congratte him. Chu Feng was shocked.


    He quickly stepped forward to shake hands, smiling, "Chu Feng pays respects to Chairman Zhao. Chairman personallying is a great honor for my humble abode. Please,e inside!"


    Chu Feng immediately made a gesture, inviting this distinguished person into his home.
