Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

```

A Grandmaster?

Su Huaiyue was slightly startled.

Grandmaster?

Who did that refer to?

Her gaze fell upon Alkaid.

How could that be possible!?

Compared to Su Yaoyu, she had a deeper understanding of what the title "Grandmaster" represented.

She also knew what it meant to be a "Grandmaster."

It meant...

At the level of Tian Nan Province, everyone would deal with you by presenting facts and reasoning respectfully.

It meant that no one dared to use underhanded tactics against the power he belonged to.

It meant that the members of a large family could be assured of their personal safety.

It also meant that all over Tian Nan, one would have the confidence to turn the table at any moment.

However...

Alkaid!?

It couldn't be him.

He had indeed been practicing martial arts recently.

But hadn't he only been practicing martial arts for just a year or two?

She didn't know the exact time, as she hadn't paid much attention, but it was definitely a recent thing.

He could not possibly be a Grandmaster.

Then...

There was only one possibility!

Had he become a disciple of a certain Grandmaster and came to negotiate a collaboration with the Su Family on behalf of a Grandmaster?

"Go ahead,"

Alkaid said to Secretary Lin, "See if the Su Family Head wants to go through with this collaboration, and if not, I can find someone else."

Secretary Lin didn't dare to be careless and quickly responded, "Please wait a moment, young master Alkaid. I will relay the message to the chairman right away."

Having said that, she hurried off.

"Alkaid, what did you mean by what you just said?"

A trace of caution tinged Su Huaiyue's tone.

However, Alkaid did not explain and instead once again used his Perception to scan the entire Bu Zhou Group building.

There were no red dots within the Bu Zhou Group.

That's right.

The number of demons was not small, but they were not so numerous as to be found everywhere.

Often in a city with a population of over a million, there would be one or two lurking.

That was why he had called Yulong International a Demon Cave after sensing three demons there.

"Alkaid…"

Seeing that Alkaid did not speak, Su Huaiyue did not get angry but instead spoke up again, wanting to ask something.

At this moment, Secretary Lin, who had just left, hurried back and quickly said, "Young master Alkaid, the chairman requests your presence."

Alkaid nodded slightly.

He followed her out of the break room.

Seeing this, Su Yaoyu wanted to follow, but Secretary Lin tactfully stopped her, "Miss Yaoyu, the chairman wishes to speak with young master Alkaid alone."

"Oh."

Seeing this, Su Yaoyu felt somewhat worried.

Meanwhile, Su Huaiyue approached her and asked in a low voice, "Yaoyu, has Alkaid taken a Grandmaster as his master? Who is it? Xie Yusheng? Feng Dong? Or Xia Wuyuan?"

"Xiaowei only mentioned that he has made progress in martial arts… As to whether he has taken a master, I do not know,"

said Su Yaoyu.

At this time, she had already realized that Su Huaiyue's attitude was somewhat unusual.

The significance of a Grandmaster seemed to be far greater than she had anticipated.

The Tian Nan Ten Tigers were often referred to as martial masters, Martial Arts Grandmasters.

But they...

Even Long Daoqi, the leader of the Tian Nan Ten Tigers, had to fight to the death in competitions and rely on the support of a backing company to earn a billion.

And the ones at the bottom of the list earned just tens of millions a year.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

To an ordinary person, that was impressive, but compared to the middle generation of the Su Family...

Didn't each of them earn billions a year?

How could they be mentioned in the same breath?

But now it seemed...

That was not necessarily the case.

Was it because Alkaid was younger and had more potential?

For this reason, she did not give a direct answer to Su Huaiyue's question.

Su Huaiyue sighed softly upon hearing this.

She faintly understood that if Su Alkaid truly came with a Grandmaster's intention to collaborate...

Her chances of succeeding Su Huaifeng to become the chairman of the group were slim.

But that was not necessarily the case.

A Grandmaster, after all...

Could match the influence of an entire large family by himself.

Her father would also have to consider the possibility of inviting a wolf into the house.

If the other party's demands were too high, they would inevitably be turned away by her father.

The key was in how the negotiations were conducted.

"No wonder he only returned at this time; turns out he found a powerful backer and gained confidence,"

murmured Su Huaiyue to herself.

...

In the chairman's office.

Secretary Lin brought Alkaid to this room, which was about eighty square meters and extravagantly decorated.

At this time, Su Chiming had not stood up; he was seated on the sofa, looking at Alkaid who walked in.

Besides him in the office, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties standing by his side, who also turned his gaze on Alkaid.

After the two entered, Su Chiming waved Secretary Lin away.

Secretary Lin immediately left and closed the door behind her.

The good sound insulation cut off all the noise from outside.

"Alkaid,"

Su Chiming uttered the name, "It's arranged according to our Su Family's generation ranking."

He looked at Alkaid, sizing him up and down, "This counts as our first meeting after all these years, huh? Alas, parents' grudges should not have involved their children."

Alkaid glanced at Su Chiming.

He could tell that this Su family elder had foundation in martial arts.

But at an age over seventy, along with years of luxury, his martial foundation had largely deteriorated, and at most it allowed him to be more energetic than other elderly people, with a slightly better health.

That was not surprising.

Forty or fifty years ago, martial arts were even more prosperous than they are now.

It's just that in recent times, with rapid advancement in technology, airplanes and artillery have squeezed the living space of martial artists, and with society becoming stable and people's lives improving, the number of people willing to endure hardship to practice martial arts has diminished, leading to a decline in the influence of the martial arts community.

If we go back several decades, when the Snow Dragon Empire and Red Star Federation were in full-scale war and the world was in turmoil, wasn't every head of a major force a famous Martial Arts Grandmaster?

Su Chiming was at the twilight of his life.

However, the middle-aged man standing next to him had robust vitality and blood.

With the Martial Saint knowledge Alkaid possessed, he could tell with a glance based on the man's vitality that this was a top-tier martial master with fully developed physical capabilities.

He was no inferior even to those at the level of the Tian Nan Ten Tigers.

```

"That's simple."

Alkaid said, extending his hand toward the middle-aged man, "Lend a hand, shall we see the strength?"

A trace of surprise flicked across the middle-aged man's eyes, and his brow furrowed with confusion.

Su Chiming beside him was equally perplexed.

After a moment, he cut to the chase, "Which Grandmaster do you represent in these negotiations? Xie Yusheng, Feng Dong, Xia Wuyuan, or perhaps Zhang Tianji, Yue Xingzhou?"

He had heard of the first three names.

The last two...

He was hearing them for the first time.

But after a moment's contemplation, he wasn't particularly surprised.

While Ye Yuhe was known in the Martial Arts World, not every Grandmaster gained fame in the Martial Arts World.

Possibly, their circles did not rely on the recognition of the Martial Arts World for fame.

"I don't represent anyone."

Alkaid replied, "I only represent myself."

"Represent yourself?"

Su Chiming was slightly taken aback.

Then he suddenly realized the true meaning behind Alkaid's words, and his brows furrowed.

The middle-aged man too looked somewhat surprised, "You couldn't mean to say..."

"A thousand words are not as convincing as a personal fight. So, why not just give it a try?"

Alkaid extended his hand, gesturing invitingly.

The middle-aged man looked at Su Chiming in astonishment, his eyes seeming to question his decision.

A flicker of surprise showed in Su Chiming's eyes.

But even more, he was unwilling to believe.

Yet Alkaid exhibited such a confident demeanor...

After a brief consideration, he quickly made up his mind.

Just as he said, no amount of words could be as convincing as actual combat.

"Go easy, don't hurt the boy," Su Chiming said.

"I understand."

The middle-aged man turned to Alkaid and smiled, "My name is Leng Jun. In terms of relation... I am your uncle by marriage. I started martial arts at the age of eight; now at thirty-nine, I have made some achievements.

Skilled in Muay Thai and Tiangan Thirty-Six Hands, I hold the Seventh Level certificate within the Tenth Level of Martial Path, which I could pass if I wished to try, since Feng Dong wouldn't personally examine me, and besides him, I reckon no one else in the Martial Arts Association could make me fear in the slightest."

"Alkaid, the method I practice is Formless Limitless. As for the Martial Path certificate, I've never taken the exam, but the Grandmasters that I've killed..."

Alkaid paused here.

Many martial masters who let demons possess them can exert the power of Grandmasters. Individuals like You Long are even considered almost fully accomplished, but in the eyes of the world, they are still martial masters.

Therefore...

"In battles of life and death, I've killed a few martial masters."

He chose a different way to phrase it.

Despite his already being quite understated and modest, Leng Jun was still left speechless upon hearing this.

Kill martial masters?

And several?

How many martial masters are there in the entire Tian Nan Territory?

It's uncertain if there even are as many as a hundred.

Where did he find so many martial masters to kill?

Those top martial artists who got their Fourth Level martial master certificates through connections? Or those who trained in martial arts for a few years and then self-proclaimed as martial masters?

However, he didn't expose the truth.

It's normal for young people...

to have lofty aspirations.

If he has the strength of a regular martial master, then he's worth the Su Family's special cultivation.

Just like him, the reason the Family Head of the Su Family agreed to let him, a man of ordinary origins, be with the third young miss was because he showed martial master capabilities at the young age of twenty.

"You go first," said Leng Jun.

"It's just lending a hand," Alkaid shook his head, directly reaching out to grasp Leng Jun's hand.

Leng Jun had originally planned to stand his ground and let Alkaid take his hand.

But when Alkaid truly reached out, Leng Jun realized...

It wasn't that he didn't want to dodge, but that he simply couldn't evade it.

Almost as soon as he saw Alkaid's hand coming for him, his right hand was already caught by Alkaid's five fingers.

This sudden turn of events caused Leng Jun to realize something.

This younger generation member of the Su Huaifeng lineage...

Had true skills!

In the midst of his thoughts, his movements were incredibly swift. His whole body's tendons and bones resonated, and as his body trembled, a surge of vigor traveled through his arm. Accompanied by the twist of his arm, he intended to shake off the five fingers gripping his arm.

But almost as soon as he mustered his vigor, Alkaid's right hand pressed down slightly.

The vigor penetrated, seeping into the tendons and bones.

Leng Jun instantly felt his entire arm go numb, the hard-earned vigor he had gathered directly dispersed.

Not just that, this force seemed to have originated from Alkaid's inner core. After dispersing his gathered vigor, it resonated within him, causing his inner organs to thunder uproariously.

This thunderous rumbling disturbed his qi and blood, ringing in his head like a loud gong.

Like standing up too fast after squatting down for a long time, he felt darkness before his eyes and a sensation of dizziness.

"It's over!"

The sudden change made Leng Jun realize that if this had been a fight to the death, his very life would be at the mercy of Alkaid in that moment.

It took him a good two to three seconds to recover from the dizziness.

But he found that he was still being held by Alkaid, only now the grip had changed from a tight hold to a supporting one.

Recalling the earlier moment of being staggered by the shock to his core and the disturbance of his qi and blood...

Leng Jun's face reddened.

His reputation was at stake!

As Leng Jun came to, Alkaid also released his hand.

"What was that?"

Su Chiming was momentarily unable to discern the full extent of the situation.

He only saw Alkaid grab Leng Jun's arm, and Leng Jun immediately shook like he'd been shocked, nearly falling before being steadied by Alkaid.

At first glance...

The two of them seemed to be playing around.

"It's finished," Alkaid declared.

"Yes, it's finished," Leng Jun replied ruefully.

But then he seemed to realize something.

Not only had Alkaid's blast of vigor shattered his own, but it also violently shook his organs and precisely disrupted his qi and blood, causing his dizziness.

All organs resounded in unison!

Vigor penetrated the core!

A Grandmaster!

That was a Grandmaster's technique!

In that moment, he finally understood what Alkaid meant by "I only represent myself"!

Looking at the young and tender face before him with horror, he was filled with disbelief, "The Grandmaster... is you?"
