Chapter 9: Breaking Through the Seven Barriers
Urban Martial Arts System
Zhou Ping felt wronged.
He punched others without using his full strength, but everyone was looking up at him.
âItâs hard to find an opponent! I donât know when I can use my full strength and have a good fight.â Zhou Ping sighed, looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
âYoung Master Zhou pretended to be forced!â
âOh, my eyes are going to be blinded by Young Master Zhouâs light.â
Ordinary students felt that it was unfair. Even if Zhou Ping was pretending to be a pig, but was actually eating a tiger, it was still unfair to play them like that.
Fortunately, Director Zheng was the director of the Martial Arts Bureau, so he soon woke up. Looking at Zhou Ping with a wry smile, Director Zheng was convinced.
âAre young people so strong nowadays? Iâm obviously still at the peak age for martial arts, but why do I feel that I am old?â Director Zheng sighed, but his black eye destroyed the image of his predecessors.
Beep⦠Beepâ¦
Just as Director Zheng was being sentimental, his cell phone rang. Director Zheng took a look at his phone. His face immediately became serious.
âItâs Qingyang University,â Director Zheng told Zhou Ping, then talked to the phone.
âHello? Huh? Thatâs it? You can talk to Young Master Zhou about it.â Director Zheng answered the phone, but his expression remained the same. Director Zheng handed the phone to Zhou Ping.
âThe person in charge of Qinyang Universityâs enrollment wants to say something to you in person,â Director Zheng explained to Zhou Ping.
âWhat on earth will Qingyang University do?â Zhou Ping frowned and took the phone.
âHello. This is Zhou Ping.â
âYoung Master Zhou? Iâm the enrollment officer of Qingyang University.â The tone on the other end of the phone was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Zhou Ping a little confused.
âOur university received a call from the Standing Committee Zhou and took this matter very seriously. I learned about the situation and the teacher in charge who answered the call earlier has already been severely reprimanded.â
âNow, I have one thing I want to confirm again. Did Young Master Zhou really destroy the tester?â The voice on the other side fluctuated with obvious disbelief.
Zhou Ping frowned. âThere are many people who have witnessed it. I canât lie.â Zhou Pingâs tone was also a little impatient.
âHehe, I checked Young Master Zhouâs previous results. To be honest, itâs not too much to say that itâs âhorribleâ. Qingyang University is the number one university in the country.We not only pay attention to the achievements, but also attach great importance to the studentsâ martial arts morality.â
âWhat do you mean? Or do you suspect that I cheated?â Zhou Pingâs tone became unpleasant.
âWith the power of the Zhou family, it is not difficult for a local Martial Arts Bureau to cooperate in doing things. Your Zhou familyâs power is indeed great, but these are nothing to us at Qingyang University. Students and schools choose each other. Even if you are really so good, our school doesnât have to admit you.â The admissions officerâs tone was mocking.
âCan you represent Qingyang University? Are you sure you want to offend my Zhou family?â Zhou Ping directly asked.
The person on the other side obviously choked. âDonât go too far.â The sound of gnashing teeth came from the opposite side.
âIâm being too much?â Zhou Ping sneered. âThe person in charge of admissions, right? Letâs not make any threats. In a word, do you dare to refuse me from entering Qingyang University?â
âYou! Hmph, I really dare not refuse⦠but it doesnât meanâ¦â The voice on the other side was insulting.
âNonsense. Since you dare not, then who gave you the courage to say this to me?â Zhou Ping mocked the admissions officer. ââWhat the hell are you doing? How dare you come and slander me? Think Iâm a bully? Now Iâll give you ten seconds to calm me down, or it wonât be over.â
Zhou Ping finished roaring and hung up the phone with a âpopâ.
âWell, Young Master Zhou, you told him youâd give him ten seconds, then hung up the phone. Thisâ¦â Director Zheng carefully said while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
âIâll give him time. As for whether it can be done or not, thatâs his problem.â As soon as Zhou Ping finished, the phone rang again.
âOh? Video chat?â With a playful smile on Zhou Pingâs face, he answered the video call.
âYoung Master Zhou, we were wrong.â On the video screen, several middle-aged men knelt on the ground, kowtowing and shouting to Zhou Ping.
âOh, itâs interesting.â Zhou Ping smiled.
âBeing able to bend and stretch, not bad. Not bad. I am starting to like you.â
âHave you calmed down?â a man raised his head and asked.
âYou did a good job. This young master is magnanimous. I forgive you. When will the admission letter be delivered?â
âSend it right away! We will definitely send it as quickly as possible.â
Zhou Ping waved his hand and hung up in the face of gratitude.
âThis is Qingyang University, which claims to have strict requirements and is not afraid of any forces?â Zhou Pingâs lips curled.
Director Zheng felt that three of his views were subverted. In everyoneâs eyes, Qingyang University has always been on the top, but they actually kowtowed to Zhou Ping?
âDirector Zheng, do you know how to instantly become famous throughout the country?â Zhou Pingâs eyes flashed.
âThis⦠Yes!â Director Zheng hesitated for half a second, then nodded vigorously.
âHow?â
âBreak through the barrier!â
âBreak through?â
âYes.â Director Zheng took a deep breath.
âThat is an event that only truly peerless geniuses can participate in. Everyone who participates is a talented person. Once the barrier is successfully broken through, it can arouse the attention of the country and instantly make ?you a national sensation.â Director Zheng took a deep breath, envy was obvious in his voice.
âI want to break through the barrier, and I will ask Director Zheng to arrange it,â Zhou Ping said firmly.
âWhat?â Director Zheng felt his tone trembling. âZhou Dashao, itâs very dangerous to break through the barrier. Why do you need it? Has Qingyang University not kowtowed and apologized to you already?â
âHowever, they are still looking down at me in their hearts and think that I am cheating. They only apologized because of my identity.â Zhou Ping looked at Director Zheng.
âHow can I, Zhou Ping, endure this kind of doubt? I will make the strongest posture when entering the gate of Qingyang University, so everyone can only look up at me.â Zhou Ping proudly proclaimed, making countless people to be speechless for a while. There were many who felt disdain, and there were also people who felt admiration.
âWell, if Young Master Zhou is interested, I will go with you.â Zhou Ping looked at Director Zheng in surprise. He was going to break through the barrier, what would he do with him?
âDirector Zheng is the director of the Martial Arts Bureau, and he will take you there to avoid a lot of troublesome procedures,â the principal explained.
âSince Director Zheng is interested, letâs go together. I leave this matter to Director Zheng.â Zhou Ping nodded. Director Zheng seemed to be planning to build connections with his family.
âLeave it to me!â Director Zheng patted his mouth.
