The impact of the two men colliding heads directly caused one of them to develop a large bump. It was this man, still clutching his head, who insisted on going back to check the surveillance footage.
Finally, the two of them hurried back to the security booth and retrieved the surveillance video from the entrance.
When they saw Li Chonglou and the other person directly crossing the barrier and entering, their expressions changed dramatically.
"Damn it! Quickly notify the manager again!"
"Uh, should we call the police?"
The moment the other man finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the head by the man with the bump.
"Are you out of your mind! Calling the police here? Wouldn't it make people laugh their heads off if this got out!"
The man who was hit patted his head aggrievedly, "I haven't been here long..."
At the outer gate management office of the Martial Arts Association, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the otherwise quiet building. Burly, muscular men rushed out in confusion.
"What's going on? Why is the alarm suddenly going off?"
"Doesn't this alarm mean someone has invaded?"
"Damn, I've been here for over a decade, and this is the first time I've heard the alarm!"
The previously quiet corridor was suddenly filled with chatter.
Some also showed excitement on their faces.
"Here we go, here we go, brothers!"
"If I remember correctly, there's a reward system internally. Anyone who can capture an intruder can be promoted by one rank directly?"
As soon as this was said, the confused muscular men immediately showed excitement, shouting like beasts.
"Let's go, let's go! Fast hands, no waiting!"
"Don't fight me for it, this is my prey!"
The entire external management area of the Martial Arts Association instantly became a frenzy. This area was also connected to the disciple dormitories, where all disciples below the elite level of the Martial Arts Association lived. In less than five minutes, without any command, the disciples, as if injected with chicken blood, quickly put on their clothes and rushed out.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the senior management area of the Martial Arts Association.
This was an extremely luxurious room, with top-tier furniture and decorations, comparable to the offices of major bosses.
Currently, only two men sat in the vast room.
"Master Hu, it seems an outsider has broken in?"
One of the men was wearing traditional martial arts attire, with long silk sleeves and knotted buttons. He looked like a martial arts master, though he was only around thirty years old.
The man sitting opposite him was Hua Nanhhu, one of the elders of the Shangjing Martial Arts Association whom Li Chonglou had met before.
Hua Nanhhu was currently engrossed in a document. Hearing the man's words, he replied indifferently without looking up,
"Isn't this a good thing? These guys have been waiting for so long, it's time to give them something to amuse themselves with."
The man's eyes were like an eagle's, and his nose was also larger than that of an ordinary person, giving him an imposing aura.
"That's true, it's been over a decade since something like this happened. I wonder who is so blind this time."
The man chuckled upon hearing Hua Nanhhu's words, clearly not taking the intruder situation seriously.
He even added with interest, "I hope it's not some reckless youngsters. It would be fun if they could get into the inner area, maybe I'd want to meet them too."
As the man said this, Hua Nanhhu suddenly looked up.
His deep eyes, like those of a fierce beast, stared directly at the man.
"Kid, don't mess around. Causing a death would be troublesome."
The man suddenly displayed a slightly pathological smile, "Then just don't kill them."
Hua Nanhhu frowned slightly.
The man smiled again, "Don't worry, with the reputation of the Martial Arts Association, resolving such matters is not difficult."
"Easy for you to say, the trouble will still be mine. You just stay here honestly. I'll spar with you after I'm done."
Hua Nanhhu rolled his eyes slightly, while the man merely smiled without answering.
On the other side.
Li Chonglou and Yue Hai, after a period of blind rushing, arrived at a place resembling a gymnasium.
To their surprise, they hadn't encountered anyone along the way. Even upon entering the gymnasium, it was completely empty.
"Brother Li, this place is so big, where do we find someone?"
Li Chonglou shook his head and said, "Let's find someone to ask for directions first. Just searching blindly won't work."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two heard shouts coming from behind one of the large doors of the gymnasium.
Someone?
The two exchanged glances and quickly walked towards the large iron door.
This iron door was a sliding door without a lock. Without Li Chonglou needing to say anything, Yue Hai voluntarily pulled it open. To their astonishment, behind the iron door was another vast space.
It seemed even larger than the one they were currently in, and inside stood at least several hundred people, all practicing punches naked.
At the forefront of these two stood a coach in a black martial arts uniform. Although his back was to them, they could sense his extraordinary aura.
Their sudden appearance also drew their attention. As the iron door was pulled open, the crowd, who were sweating and punching, cast curious glances.
This naturally also attracted the coach's attention. He turned around and saw the two men with astonished expressions.
"Who are you?"
He Qiqi spoke sternly. As a coach, he detested being interrupted while teaching his disciples, so his face clearly showed a hint of displeasure.
Li Chonglou also reacted, realizing something was wrong. He quickly waved his hand, signaling Yue Hai to close the door.
"Wait a moment!"
He Qi's expression darkened upon seeing this, and he immediately shouted loudly.
But Yue Hai paid him no mind, and simply pulled the iron door shut again.
He Qi finally realized something was amiss. His figure flickered, covering a distance of ten meters in less than a few seconds. By the time he stopped, he was standing steadily before the iron door!
This speed directly caused the crowd to exclaim in surprise.
"So fast!"
"Who do you think he is? Our coach and we all came from the inner area!"
"Are everyone from the inner area really this strong? With this speed, they could easily win gold medals if they participated in the Olympics!"
"Heh, you think so? Otherwise, why would so many people try to break their heads to get into the inner area? All our truly skilled people are inside."
"Those two just now clearly didn't look like good people. Could there be a good show to watch?"
The more the crowd spoke, the more excited they became. For people like them who practiced martial arts, their lives were usually monotonous. If there was anything in this world they enjoyed more than the aunties buying groceries or the women sitting on the streets, it was their love for a good spectacle!
As He Qi pulled open the iron door, he saw Li Chonglou and Yue Hai already walking towards the main entrance.
"Stop!"
He Qi immediately shouted again, but Li Chonglou and Yue Hai, without turning their heads, quickened their pace even further.
"Brother Li, shouldn't we walk faster?"
