I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything - Chapter 27

The next day, at dawn.

On the bustling Qinglong Street, the workers and company employees had already begun their lives.

In the various martial art centers, shouts and sounds gradually sounded.

However, today was different from usual.

“Hello, is this the Baoyan Martial Arts Center?” A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth with a childish appearance accompanied by his parents came to the entrance of the martial arts center and asked.

“Why? Didn’t you look at the door before you entered?” Lie Fengyun, who was cleaning the entrance, scratched his nose and asked.

The youth showed a good-tempered smile as he asked, “Of course I have. I just want to confirm with you if you have the Killing-flame Fist Technique here. It is said that after one masters it, it will surpass the Extraordinary grade and reach the Legendary grade of lethality.”

When Lie Fengyun heard this, his pupils constricted. His gaze turned sharp as he looked at the youth. He even swept the sharp gaze over the youth’s parents before he sneered and said, “Why? Are you here to ask for a refund because you can’t master it? I’m sorry, but there’s no such thing as a refund in the Baoyan Martial Arts Center. Besides, this is a civil dispute. Please go to court first. I’ll be waiting for the court summons. Though, you may have to queue up.”

“Refund? Why would I need a refund? I’m not here to destroy the center, I’m here to join,” The youth let out a low cheer, then turned around and said happily to his parents, “This is the place. Dad, this is the martial arts center. Our senior mastered a martial arts technique of theirs and he was hella strong. I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Ok, ok, as long as it’s what you want,” His father smiled and said, “Young man, may I ask how much does your center charge for taking in disciples?”

“This…” Lie Feng Yun blinked. They weren’t here to ask for a refund?

They were… here to join them?

A smile appeared on his face out of habit as he welcomed the obviously well-off family in.

The family choose the most expensive course set and paid immediately. The young man even exclaimed that their course was too cheap, saying that he did not expect that he could learn such a powerful martial arts technique at such a low price.

Lie Fengyun could not help but feel a little confused. Did he set the price to be too low?

A few minutes after the young man left, a student who was still in Qingyang High School’s uniform stood at the door timidly and asked, “Excuse me, is this the Baoyan Martial Arts Center?”

Not long after, another team of four or five students came over.

“Excuse me, do you have the Killing-flame Fist Technique here?”

It wasn’t before long that Lie Fengyun was too busy to handle all the customers himself, so he quickly called two disciples over to help. He couldn’t help but secretly marvel in his heart, “What was going on? Could it be that big brother reached an under-the-table deal with a teacher of Qingyang High School?”

Otherwise, why would so many Qingyang High School students come to join them as if there was an agreement? They even came all at once.

On top of that, they were all talking about beating a demonic beast till it cried and killing it, or something like that.

Hearing this, Lie Fengyun was just confused and lost.

He was too embarrassed to ask, and he could only remain in his confusion as he took in the disciples and their money.

At first, he was delighted, but as more and more students came, he felt inexplicably flustered.

Something was not right.

After being busy for the whole morning, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded on the bustling street.

Two lion dancers were at the head of the procession while a military band walked on both sides of the lions. In the middle was a middle-aged man who looked extremely righteous. He held a silk banner in his hand with the words ‘authentic martial arts center’ written on it.

“Excuse me, is this the Baoyan Martial Arts Center?” The middle-aged man asked all smiles.

Lie Fengyun, “…”

… ..

“Big brother, big brother! Something’s bad!”

In the deepest part of the martial arts center was a huge office. The stench of alcohol filled the air.

On the sofa, a one-armed man with a curly beard was lying on it, drunk and groggy… Until Lie Fengyun kicked the door open.

Lie Fengyun rushed in and desperately clutched at Lie Fenglie’s collar. He shook his big brother as he shouted, “Something bad has happened!”

Lie Fenglei held his head in pain. The pain from the hangover made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He complained unhappily, “What are you doing? Why are you screaming so early in the morning…”

Lie Fengyun said in a panic, “Someone has sent us a silk banner!”

“Is it the kind of silk banner that says ‘only good in taking money, but no good in teaching anything’ again? Just sue the person… Use the law to protect our legitimate rights and interests, and make those poor ordinary people shut up. Isn’t the law specifically to protect us?”

“No, the silk banner this time is praising us,” Lie Fengyun had a look of anxiety on his face as he exclaimed, “It’s over. The center has only been opened for two hours today, and there are already more than 70 people who have enrolled in the advanced class.”

Lie Fenglei covered his head and said, “Well, just open another class then. If there’s money for us to earn, are you a fool for refusing? More than 30 million… We couldn’t earn that much even if we had two years.”

“But… but they came for the Killing-flame Fist. That’s what the silk banner is praising us for too. According to them, a student from Qingyang High School was attacked by a level 4 demonic beast, but not only did he not die, he even used our center’s Killing-flame Fist to beat the demonic beast to death. The beast died a horrible death,” Lie Fengyun said in a panic, “The way they put it was so vivid. If I didn’t know the truth, I would have believed it. Something’s not right, something is really not right. Others may not know, but big brother, you should know what the Killing-flame Fist we’ve been putting out is! That teacher Zhou even said that their principal intends to cooperate with our center in-depth, and they want to recommend their outstanding students to our center for training. It’s over.”

At first, Lie Fenglei was still holding his head in pain, but as he listened, his face turned serious as he looked at Lie Fengyun in shock and asked, “Xiao Yun, tell me the truth. Did you teach the real Killing-flame Fist?”

“It is said that a stage 9 Body-tempering soon-to-be martial artist killed a bone-splitting lizard, a level 4 demonic beast,” Lie Fengyun seemed to have broken down. He simply giggled and said, “This is no longer a simple matter of fighting monsters of a higher level… What have I done to be able to produce such a powerful disciple?”

Lie Fenglei, “…”

“What I’m most worried about now is… So many people have signed up, and they are all the talented kids in school. Apparently, there are also quite a few who have already reached stage 9 of the Body-tempering Tier. These people are soon-to-be martial artists who will definitely be able to enter the martial arts universities,” Lie Fengyun chuckled on and off as if he felt like he had nothing to live for.

He said faintly, “I feel like I can already foresee a few years from now, more than a hundred martial artists will come knocking on our door and hang us on the city wall outside Qingzhou City to make us into sundried humans. To cheat so many people in one go, the amount is too big… We are already on the verge of financial fraud, but it just so happens that we don’t have a choice but to accept it.”

He continued with a sobbing tone, “They were crying and shouting to sign up. When I said that the center was full and we couldn’t take in any more disciples, they knew what to do… They secretly gave me red packets, asking me to add them to the list… Damn it, I’ve already received more than a million yuan in red packets. Money is good, but how did I get this money? I’m still confused.”

“Find someone to find out what happened yesterday,” Lie Fenglei was much calmer.

He held his head and pondered for a while…

Indeed, the amount was a little too high.

Besides, the martial arts center used to take in unorthodox people who couldn’t get into high school but hadn’t given up on the path of martial arts.

He could lie to such people. At the very least, he could help them strengthen their bodies.

But these soon-to-be martial artists… If the matter was not handled properly, there was a very high chance that more than a hundred martial artists would come looking for trouble with them one day in the future.

“What exactly happened?” Lie Fenglei held his head that was splitting with pain and said in confusion, “Are all the students nowadays so easy to bluff? Why have they all come to us and beg us to bluff them?”
